Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 528 I Hate War

"Let's ignore Xiao Fan. It's one thing if he doesn't recognize me, but he's terrible at fighting! He's probably forgotten all the tricks I taught him. He keeps losing battles, it's embarrassing to even talk about it. And he's such a womanizer, he got tied up by some girl just like that!"

Huai Gu Jun: "..."

Just as Yang Jinfan was about to untie Huai Gujun, Yang Xiaotuo pulled him back.

Having not seen his child for so long, Yang Xiaotuo didn't want his granddaughter to have to deal with that good-for-nothing brat for even a second.

"Grandpa, we're still on someone else's turf. You can continue talking to him, just pretend you've never met me. I have some things to take care of!"

Yang Xiaotuo then patted her slightly thin shoulder: "Go on, Grandpa will make you something nice to eat another day to help you get better. You're too thin!"

"it is good!"

Yang Jinfan vanished in a flash, leaving Huai Gujun and Yang Xiaotuo staring at each other, Huai Gujun with a resentful expression.

"General, when did you arrive? You must have recognized me long ago. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"

If we had known that the enemy was also one of our own, why would we have bothered fighting? Wouldn't it have been better to just make peace?
He can also return to Beijing sooner to be with Afan.

"Hmph," Yang Xiaotuo's eyes and heart were full of disdain, "Tell you? Why should I tell you? You're blind and deaf, can't you see something so obvious? All that teaching you was for nothing!"

Yang Xiaotuo didn't want to waste any more words with him; just looking at him made him angry, even though he was covered in injuries...

Forget it, out of sight, out of mind!
He got up and left, telling Huai Gu Jun to find his own way to escape as he left the tent; he wouldn't help him!
Before long, Toya brought some medicine to help Huai Gujun wipe his wounds, but Huai Gujun turned his head and coldly rebuked, "Please, Princess, have some self-respect!"

Toya was hurt by his aloof demeanor, and with tears in her eyes, she questioned him, "Why?"

"I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. Knowing you were worried about the war between our two countries, I did everything in my power to stop my father from attacking again. If it weren't for my constant obstruction, the iron hooves of the steppes would have already trampled the Central Plains. Why can't you see all that I've done?!"

Huai Gujun coldly scoffed, "I am but a mere warrior, and I know I am unworthy of the noble steppe princess. My affairs need not trouble the princess. As for the war between our two countries, if the Khan insists on ruling the Central Plains, my Yanbei army may not necessarily lose!"

Tears streamed down Toya's face, but the person in front of her didn't even glance at her. She was so angry that her fingertips trembled.

"You're lying! You're only after the eldest princess of the Northern Wind Kingdom!"

Huai Gu Jun did not answer, his face remaining indifferent.

"I knew it! You got all excited the moment the general mentioned the princess. My mother once said you can tell if a man cares about a woman by his expression! You like her, don't you?"

Huai Gujun glanced at her. "The princess should have realized from my expression that I don't like you. I'd rather die than marry into the grasslands!"

"you!"

Toya felt a pang of pain in her heart from his tough attitude, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

In all her life, no one on the entire grassland had ever said such a thing to her!

Unable to bear it any longer, she covered her face and sobbed as she ran back to the main tent. After hearing Yang Xiaotuo's reply in the main tent, Helian Zhaoxin dismissed everyone else inside and outside the tent, leaving only him and the tear-streaked Tuoya. He felt heartache, but even more so, he was disappointed in her.

"Well, has your sincerity moved him? I told you before, war between two countries is not child's play, how can it be resolved by the affections of two children! In my opinion, it would be better to kill him as soon as possible."

"no!"

"Toya!"

"Don't forget, besides being the daughter of the Khan, you are also the princess of the sixteen tribes of the grasslands! I gave you a chance to persuade that brat, but what about him? Does he even give you the slightest thought?"

"He is the youngest commander of the three armies in the Northern Wind Kingdom, and also the local emperor of the Yanbei garrison. Even if he agrees to marry into the grasslands, the sixteen tribes will not agree to a Han Chinese marrying a grassland princess! The emperor of the Northern Wind Kingdom will not give up such a talented person. As long as he lives, he will eventually return to the Central Plains."

"At that time, who knows what kind of disaster it will bring to the entire grassland, and the people of the grassland will blame the royal court!"

Tuya's bright eyes were filled with sorrow, and when she looked at Helian Zhaoxin, it was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.

“I understand what Father Khan is saying. But after killing him, will Father Khan still lead those warriors into the Central Plains, or will he make those warriors who swore to follow the royal court to the death sacrifice their lives for it?”

"Toya! The Central Plains are rich in resources and suitable for farming and settling down. Once we enter, tens of thousands of nomads will no longer have to worry about surviving the winter or wandering around looking for pasture. The warriors know this, which is why they are willing to sacrifice themselves. If they don't sacrifice themselves, the people of the grasslands behind them will freeze and starve to death!"

"What about the people of the Central Plains? Do they deserve to die?"

“How can the people of the Central Plains be more important than the people of the grasslands? Don’t forget, those two-legged sheep are the most cunning. When your mother had a difficult childbirth, if they hadn’t trapped me in the city, I would have been…”

"Don't mention my mother!"

Helian Tuya interrupted him with a roar, “Father Khan, you always say that the two-legged sheep are cunning, but that time you were greedy for merit and recklessly insisted on leading several thousand cavalry to attack the Central Plains, only to be besieged by their people in the city, and only managed to escape with your life! You knew that Mother was close to giving birth at that time, but you still chose to go. Mother did not think that breakout was a good idea and warned you, but you didn’t listen. She was worried day and night, and her pregnancy was already unstable. When she heard the news of your defeat and unknown fate, she was so frightened that she had a difficult childbirth!”

Medical skills on the grasslands were not as advanced as those in the Central Plains, and childbirth was even more difficult for women. Mother did not survive, and the fetus in her womb also stopped moving. She lost her mother and unborn brother on that snowy winter night.

Mother's blood flowed all over the bed, and showed no sign of stopping. She lay quietly in the pool of blood, as if asleep, but she would never wake up again.

The words of rebuttal stuck in his throat, neither coming out nor going out. Watching his daughter cry her heart out, Helian Zhaoxin recalled the absurdity and regret of that time, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

In his memory, it was already winter that year. The grasslands desperately needed to preserve their resources and could not afford to fight a war. However, the royal court was in turmoil. In order to make a good impression on his father, the Khan, he insisted on leading his troops despite all advice.

Logically speaking, the general stationed in Yanbei had been killed by their emperor several years ago, making Yanbei practically uninhabited. However, he underestimated the enemy, thinking that with Huai Min'ang dead and the Yanbei army wiped out, Yanbei would be his for the taking.

He never expected that the people of the Central Plains in Yanbei would be so united and intelligent, almost causing him to perish on the border of the Central Plains. He barely managed to escape back, only to find that his family had already been destroyed.

Later, he poured all his love into his daughter Toya, even though he had other children. Toya was born to his beloved wife and was different from his other children.

“Father Khan, I hate war. Mother’s death is still fresh in my mind. My mother is gone, and I don’t want the children of the grassland to lose their families because of war.”
