Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

Of course, right now, including Temujin, they are less than twenty people. With such strength, not to mention revenge, even self-preservation is difficult.

The most pressing matter now is to quickly accumulate strength.

After a while, Su'a Ci, Da Shi Man, Yelu A Hai, Tu Hua, and Xue Li Jian, who were responsible for finding food and water, returned. They were lucky enough to hunt three wild horses and gather some dead branches, enough for everyone to eat for three to five days. However, they still couldn't find a clean water source. Everyone could only continue to drink the muddy and bitter Ban Zhu Ni River water.

Ha Ban, Hu Lu Hun, A Shu Lu, Zhen Hai, Shao Gu'er, Zha Ba'er Huo Zhe, and Shu Chi Tai also returned one after another, without gathering any stragglers.

This was also to be expected.

Only a few Mongolian high-ranking figures knew the meeting point was at the Ban Zhu Ni River. Most of the stragglers were just fleeing in all directions. How could they be so lucky as to arrive near the Ban Zhu Ni River in time? And it doesn't seem strange that the scattered Mongolian high-ranking figures couldn't reach this place so quickly.

"It doesn't matter if we didn't gather any troops. Haste makes waste, like trying to make mare's milk wine too quickly!" Temujin smiled and said, "Come, let's cook some horse meat first! After we're full and have had our fill of drinks, let's get a good night's sleep. We'll replenish our energy and start over. We'll have troops and territory eventually! I don't believe Changsheng Heaven will not bless me, a descendant of Hebul Khan, and instead bless those treacherous and despicable villains!"

"That's right! What the Khan says is true! Kill the horses and cook the meat!"

"No matter how big the matter, let's talk about it after we're full and have had our fill of drinks!"

"Changsheng Heaven bless the Mongolians!"

"Wang Han has betrayed his oath and will surely be punished!"

"Victory will surely belong to us!"

… …

The crowd echoed one another, some began to slaughter wild horses and cut meat, some lit bonfires. Others took off their helmets, filled them with the muddy Ban Zhu Ni River water, and began to cook the meat.

Before long, the aroma of horse meat wafted out, and some even hummed Mongolian ballads softly, finding joy in hardship, their morale high.

However, in reality, Temujin's heart was by no means as relaxed as it seemed on the surface.

Not gathering a single straggler just now is not a good sign!

Who knows how many stragglers we'll be able to gather in the end?

Four or five thousand as Jebe said just now, or only two or three thousand, or even one or two thousand?

Can his mother and wife really be safe and sound?

And that Zhao Shuo…

From the Mongolian Khan of the third power on the grasslands to the point where only eighteen riders remain by his side, even a hero like Temujin cannot help but fall into self-doubt, feeling very depressed.

It was at this moment!

"Da da da"

A faint sound of horses' hooves entered Temujin's ears.

"Hmm? Who is it?"

Temujin quickly stood up and called out in the direction of the sound, only to see two riders galloping towards him from afar.

"Khan! Khan!"

It was Mu Huali's voice!

He was one of the members who went to gather stragglers, and only now had he returned!

Beside him, there was another rider!

"Khan, take a look! Who has come?"

"Ah? Hasar! My brother Hasar! Changsheng Heaven bless, he… he is still alive!"

Hasar is not only Temujin's own brother, but also Temujin's right-hand man. When Hasar was nine years old, he and the eleven-year-old Temujin joined forces to kill their half-brother Bekter, helping Temujin become the head of the entire family.

When Hasar grew up, he was even more powerful and brave in archery, becoming one of the most important generals under Temujin. According to historical records, Temujin once praised happily, "Hasar's archery and Belgutei's bravery are what I rely on to conquer the world!"

Now, seeing Hasar's safe return, Temujin is truly happy.

"Changsheng Heaven has treated us brothers well!"

No sooner said than done, in the blink of an eye, Hasar and Mu Huali had arrived in front of Temujin, dismounted.

Temujin held Hasar's hand, carefully looked him up and down, and said, "Hasar, you're alright, that's great! Tell me, how did you break through the encirclement and find your way here?"

"Uh… I'm ashamed to say!" Hasar said with some embarrassment, despite being happy, "In the Battle of Helan Zhenshato, I didn't actually escape, but was captured by Wang Han's army. Thanks to this child Zhao Shuo, I was able to see Big Brother again!"

"What? Zhao Shuo?"

"Of course! Who else could save me, Hasar, from thousands of troops, besides our famous Mongolian Batur Zhao Shuo?" Hasar said without hesitation.

"Zhao Shuo, he… he is still alive?"

"More than alive! He's right behind me!" As he spoke, Hasar pointed behind him and said, "Big Brother, look, isn't he coming?"

"Ah!"

Temujin looked behind him, and indeed!

Two steeds, one white and one black, were galloping side by side in his direction!

On the black horse on the left was a man with three-dimensional and deep features, a straight nose, and bright eyes full of captivating aura. He was tall and straight, with faintly visible muscle lines. His hair was not braided like the prairie people, nor was it tied up like the Han people, but rather cut half-length, scattered backwards, with only thin half-inch left on both sides, looking clean and neat, and full of wildness! (Jiaqian Jushi's hairstyle)

The person on the white horse on the right gave Temujin an even bigger surprise.

It was a woman with an oval face, a high nose, snow-white skin, a slender and tall figure, healthy but not thin, and bright and moving eyes. Who else could it be but Temujin's most beloved daughter, Huazhen?

It turned out that Zhao Shuo was not only alive, but also successfully rescued his most beloved daughter, Huazhen!

Huazhen had not suffered the misfortune that Temujin had imagined at all!

"Good! Good! This is really great!"

In an instant, a burst of ecstasy crazily flooded Temujin's heart, brain, and even his limbs and bones! It was even more comfortable than taking a hot bath in the cold winter months! It was even more enjoyable than meeting the best confidant and drinking the best mare's milk wine together!

He waved his hands vigorously and said: "Zhao Shuo! Zhao Shuo! The axle of my chariot, the left and right arms of my body! Huazhen, the pearl in my palm, the eyes on my head! Come quickly! I'm here! I'm here!"

"Here! Zhao Shuo Anda, Huazhen sister, we are here!" Shu Chi also waved his arms frantically.

To be honest, Shu Chi's current ecstasy is even greater than Temujin's.

The reason is simple. Without Zhao Shuo, Temujin still has other loyal and brave generals. But Shu Chi will never have such a good brother again!

When Temujin was eighteen years old, his wife Boerte was abducted by the enemies, the Merkit people. Several months later, when Temujin joined forces with Wang Han and Zamuhe to snatch Boerte back from the enemy, Boerte was already pregnant and later gave birth to Shu Chi.

Is Shu Chi really Temujin's son? Almost everyone has doubts in their hearts. Growing up in so many meaningful eyes, Shu Chi is both violent, stubborn, and competitive, and extremely delicate and sensitive.

The only person he can feel who completely treats him as Temujin's son is Zhao Shuo. Only when facing Zhao Shuo can Shu Chi open his heart.

"Zhao Shuo Batur! Princess Huazhen! We are here!"

The others were also waving frantically!

Batur, translated into Chinese, means hero, warrior! It is the highest praise the Mongolians give to a man!

"We're coming!"

"Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~"

Before long, Zhao Shuo and Huazhen had arrived in front of them under the watchful eyes of everyone, dismounted, and stood side by side.

Huazhen perfectly inherited Temujin's tall stature. Although she is a woman, she is taller than ordinary Mongolian men. At this time, standing on the ground, she appears even more slender, with long hands and legs, like an elegant and noble swan with long legs and a slender neck.

Zhao Shuo's height is no less than Temujin's, and he is half a head taller than Huazhen. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, his whole body exudes a heroic and strong aura, like a wild and unruly, majestic and mighty Haidongqing.

The two dismounted almost at the same time and stood side by side, with indescribable matching and endless tacit understanding!

Huazhen bowed deeply and said: "Huazhen has seen Father Khan! This daughter is unfilial and has worried Father Khan!"

Zhao Shuo bowed deeply and said loudly: "Khan! I am fortunate not to disgrace my mission and rescued Huazhen. I am here to report!"
