In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 47 Na Mu Zhong’s mentality

After three months of construction, the mountain col in the valley had changed drastically. A city wall made of stones and rammed earth stretched across the slope.

The city wall is one and a half feet high, two meters thick, and about a hundred feet long. It extends to the mountains on both sides. There are also one-meter-high wall stacks built with adobe bricks at the top of the wall.

A dirt road that can barely pass people and horses winds down from the gate of the village wall to the valley.

In the open space behind the village wall, there are more than a dozen houses built with adobe bricks. Each house is very large and very simple, and the roofs are all covered with hay.

At this moment, the small stockade was full of people shouting and neighing. It seemed chaotic, but yet in an orderly manner, people were busy moving loads of supplies from the mountains down the mountain to the col.

A month ago, Lin Rui began to transfer the materials in the castle to the cottage, but there was still a lot left in the castle. After deciding to rob Lin Danhan's wife and children, Lin Rui asked Mrs. Niu and others to immediately move all the supplies. The men, horses and supplies were moved across the valley, decisively abandoning the recently completed castle.

When she came back, Mrs. Niu had already led people to move supplies. Hundreds of people worked for two days before moving all the supplies from the valley bottom to the stockade.

"Brother Lin, what should we do with those carriages? How about repairing the road? Everyone pulls and pushes to get it up together?"

Sister Niu looked at the dozens of empty carriages in the valley and said.

"It's too late to build the road. Just dismantle the carriage and lift it up."

Lin Rui waved his hand and said that he was also reluctant to abandon these carriages. He had no intention of staying in the mountains forever.

"Okay then, I'll make the arrangements right now. You haven't had much rest in the past two days, so go and have a good sleep. Leave this place to me." Mrs. Niu nodded and said with concern.

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Lin Rui was indeed exhausted a long time ago. After all, they came back and forth non-stop, but they ran nearly three hundred miles.

After coming back, I had to help arrange manpower to stack supplies, so I still haven't had time to interrogate the woman I brought back.

Lin Rui did not go to sleep, but walked towards the small house not far away. Although manpower was very tight these two days, Xiao Cui and other ten girls always took turns guarding this simple earth house.

"Has the woman made any noise in the past two days?"

"Go back to the young master, except for the first time when he was clamoring to see you, he has been very quiet since then. He only eats and sleeps." Xiaocui replied quickly.

"Ah."

Lin Rui nodded, opened the door and walked in. There was only one room in the house. Except for the three windows and a door in the front, there was a bed made of adobes on the inside. There was no other room in the house. Any decorative furniture.

As soon as the door opened, Lin Rui saw the woman lying on the bed. He immediately sat up and looked at the door.

Lin Rui took a few steps forward and came to the bedside, and looked at the woman he had brought back carefully.

The woman must be over 30 years old, but she still makes people feel amazing at first sight. It is a kind of beauty that is different from that of Han women.

The calm and graceful temperament exuding from his body made him unusual at first glance. Even though he was trapped in a cage at this moment, there was no trace of panic on his face. Instead, he looked at Lin Rui with a hint of curiosity.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and then the woman took the lead and asked: "Who are you? Where are you here? Why did you arrest me?"

"Answer me a question first, what is your name, and I will tell you the rest." Lin Rui sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at her.

If he worked so hard and finally arrested the wrong person, he would definitely kill the woman to vent his anger without hesitation. Anyway, this woman was definitely not Han.

The woman did not answer immediately, but her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something. Seeing this, Lin Rui immediately took out the dagger and said expressionlessly: "I advise you not to be careful and tell your truth honestly. Name, otherwise I will make you taste life worse than death." After saying that, he raised her chin with the tip of the knife.

"You caught me, don't you know who I am?" the woman asked with her chin raised, a hint of anger finally showing in her eyes.

"My patience is limited and I don't want to say it a second time."

Lin Rui had a cold look in her eyes, and the tip of the knife moved back and forth on her neck.

The woman also stared at Lin Rui, with a hint of fear finally showing on her face. It was obvious that she could see that if she was worthless, the Han family man would really kill her.

Because she had met a lot of men, and even more powerful men, but no matter how powerful they were, when they saw her, their eyes were filled with naked possessiveness.

However, she didn't see the possessiveness in the Han family's eyes, only murderous intent.

"My name is Namuzhong, and I am the wife of the Great Khan of Mongolia." "I hope what you said is true, otherwise you will be my plaything at best."

Lin Rui was overjoyed and immediately put away the dagger. Although he was warned, he was [-]% sure that he had caught the right person. It was just a pity that he caught Na Muzhong but not her son.

But one is better than none.

"Could it be that if what I say is true, I won't become a plaything?"

Namuzhong said calmly.

It was obvious that she had been psychologically prepared for this. In the grassland where the strong preyed on the weak, no matter how beautiful or noble a woman was, she would always be an accessory of the strong. She did not think that this Han family man could keep her for how long.

"Of course not. If you are really Lin Dan Khan's wife, then we can cooperate and join forces to fight against the Jurchens.

You also know that I am a Han and cannot stay in the grassland forever. As long as I defeat the Jurchens in the future, I can use this to return to the Ming Dynasty and gain an official position, and you can also rescue your son and inherit the throne. This is a win-win situation. how do you feel? "

Lin Rui looked at her with burning eyes.

Ke Namu Zhong's expression remained indifferent. She neither mocked Lin Rui for overestimating his abilities nor showed the slightest excitement. Instead, he asked curiously: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I can help you defeat the Jurchens, help you unify all the grassland tribes, and allow you to live a life of fine clothing and food with me."

"Oh, how did you let me live a life of fine clothes and fine food, is it here?"

After Na Mu Zhong finished speaking, she looked around, feeling amused.

But in my heart, I only thought that Lin Rui was a Han family man who didn't know the heights of the world, but was ambitious.

"Isn't this my young master the beginning of a great cause? Although the conditions are a bit crude now, you have to know that only by sharing the joys and sorrows together, when the great cause is successful in the future, will you not be abandoned, but will be cherished and loved by your man even more .”

Lin Rui also looked around and found that it was indeed a bit shabby, but he was only slightly embarrassed and then followed suit.

"It's said that you Han people are eloquent and can make women happy. It's true." Na Muzhong said with a smile.

"This is not coaxing, this is a fact. Take Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, the founder of this dynasty, as examples. Do you still think what I said is wrong?"

"What you said is true, but we Mongolians are different from you Han people."

This time Namuzhong nodded seriously, and then shook his head.

"But I'm Chinese."

"Just give me a nice word, will you cooperate?" Lin Rui was already a little impatient.

"You are the strong one now, so I will naturally cooperate. When you fail, I will be taken away by the Jurchens again and become a member of Huang Taiji's harem. The ending will be the same. At most, I will just eat here. It was just hard for a while.

So Han Jialang, if I were you, I would go back to the Ming Dynasty and dedicate me to your emperor. You can be promoted to an official position, and I can also go to the Ming Dynasty to live a life of rich clothes and jade. This is a win-win situation, not staying here. On the grassland, he finally lost his life in vain. "

Na Muzhong looked indifferent and even offered some kind words of persuasion.

She really didn't care. Whether the Han family succeeded or failed in the end, it was none of her business. She was just an accessory and plaything of the strong from the beginning to the end.

"It seems that talking about relationships and ideals with you Mongolian bitches is a complete waste of time. In this case, then follow your Mongolian rules. You are my trophy now, so you have to listen to me."

When Lin Rui saw that he had been talking for a long time, but she had such an indifferent attitude, he immediately became angry and immediately pounced on her, not intending to waste any more time with her.

"Han Jialang, you have to think clearly. Once you sleep with me, you will not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty, and you will not be able to submit to Hou Jin."

Namuzhong did not resist, but instead put her arms around Lin Rui's neck and reminded her kindly again.

"Shut up, I don't need to submit to anyone, and I don't need to sacrifice you to the strong."

Lin Rui finally lost her temper and began to yell and curse.
