Chapter 53: Meeting Temujin Again
At the same time, many people gathered at the banquet in front of the tribal king's tent, but the atmosphere was even weirder than that of Su Ming and his friends.

Because while Temujin was rewarding his soldiers, he actually put Dushi in the chief position. When his generals and soldiers saw this, they were indignant and resentful. Fortunately, Temujin had a very high prestige, so no trouble occurred.

Even so, everyone's faces were still ugly, and the originally lively banquet became dull and boring.

Temujin saw everyone's performance, but he did not react at all. He was warmly entertaining Dushi throughout the whole process. Dushi was also confused and did not understand what he was going to do. Especially the looks from people around him made him feel very uneasy.

Guo Jing sat at the last seat, watching everything. Without the filter, he could now look at Temujin calmly and would not get angry because of these things. Hua Zheng was Hua Zheng and Temujin was Temujin, the two could not be generalized.

The teacher's reminder made him think a lot, and Temujin's actions further confirmed his guess.

Finally, the banquet came to an end. Temujin stood up from his seat, walked to Dushi and toasted him with three glasses of wine. He looked at him solemnly and said, "My adoptive father Wanghan and my sworn brother Sangkun have been very kind to me. There is no hatred between the two sides. This time it was just some villain who instigated me. Please go back and apologize on my behalf. In two days I will select expensive gifts to send to them to apologize. I hope they don't mind." When Temujin started his business, he worshipped him as his father, so Temujin called him his adoptive father.

"Please don't mind what happened yesterday. When you go back, prepare to marry my daughter. I watched you grow up. I'm at ease leaving Hua Zheng to you. When you get married, our two families will host a banquet for the clan leaders of each tribe and have a great time. From now on, you will be my son-in-law, that is, my son. From now on, our two families will be as close as one family, and there will be no need for others to sow discord and cause misunderstandings. What do you think?"

Dushi originally thought that Temujin had some conspiracy waiting for him, but when he heard this, he realized that he would not kill him, and he was overjoyed. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Uncle is right, this is all instigated by the villain. When I go back, I will definitely persuade father and our two families will reconcile." In fact, he did not intend to give up and was ready to return to his tribe to make plans.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly focused his eyes and found that Temujin was holding his chest with his right hand and coughing while he was talking. A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, "Could he be injured?"

His next words confirmed his guess. Temujin's voice became very weak. He looked at Dushi and said very sincerely, "You were hit by an arrow here today. I'm afraid you will need three months to recover. Otherwise, I should send you back personally." After that, he stretched out his right hand from his chest, and his hand was full of blood, which was shocking.

After he said this, the generals present were instantly excited. They all stood up and ran to his side to support him. "Khan!" Their expressions were full of concern and tension.

Dushi was caught off guard and was pushed away by the soldiers. Everyone gathered around Temujin and were on guard against him.

Instead of appreciating the gesture, Temujin pushed everyone away, forced himself to walk in front of Dushi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to wait for me to recover, you can get married, otherwise... otherwise you will have to wait too long." After saying this, his face was as pale as gold paper and his breath was weak.

what?
He wants to marry Hua Zheng to Du Shi?
At this time, Guo Jing's mind was blank, and only this thought kept echoing, why did he do this? I fought so hard for him yesterday, and he actually wanted to marry Hua Zheng to Du Shi?
Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anger and sorrow, as if the world had become dark. What was the meaning of all that he had done?
However, after a brief moment of grief and indignation, Guo Jing's surging blood gradually cooled down, and his rationality climbed to the peak again. He quickly realized that no, he was lying, he was cheating!

In his eyes, the Khan was indeed a great hero with a broad mind and great ambitions, but he was not a weak person, nor was he someone who could tolerate betrayal.

Sangkun, Jamukha, Wang Han and others colluded with Wanyan Honglie, the sixth prince of the Jin Dynasty, and set an ambush against him. How could he bow his head and show weakness and make peace with them after escaping?

Since they have betrayed him, they are his enemies. Temujin only has one word for his enemies: kill!

Guo Jing went to the battlefield twice and knew the cruelty of war. Those opponents defeated by Temujin and those who did not surrender to him turned into bones and no one survived.

From the moment Temujin fell from his horse in the morning to his return, and then to the banquet in the evening, scenes kept replaying in Guo Jing's mind, and finally formed an incredible answer.

Temujin, planning to launch a surprise attack on Wang Han?
Once this idea came to mind, he couldn't stop it. All the details quickly connected into a line, pointing to this answer. The historical events and military books that Su Ming had told him in the past also became powerful arguments for his search for the answer.

"Huh!" After a moment, Guo Jing let out a long breath, and when he looked at Temujin again, his eyes became more complicated. In the past, he heard from his teacher that those powerful officials used their daughters as tools for marriage to monopolize power and even usurp the throne.

Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Yang Jian, all the famous figures in history flashed through his mind, and today, he witnessed such a person with his own eyes, and this person was also the person he once regarded as a hero.

Temujin's feigned illness reminded him of Sima Yi, who was also good at feigning illness.

In just a short moment, he seemed to have grown up a lot. He realized that what he learned from books was shallow. He had to practice it himself. No matter how much he knew, it was better to experience it himself. This time, Guo Jing, as an insider, witnessed this moment personally.

The knowledge learned in the past blends with reality at this moment.

No one knew about the changes in Guo Jing's mental journey, and no one noticed him. Now everyone's attention was on Temujin. Seeing that the Khan was like this and still wanted to marry Hua Zheng to Du Shi, they became even more annoyed, and their eyes were filled with anger when they looked at Du Shi.

And Du Shi also knew that the current situation was not right, so he could only retract his fangs and stand still with his tail between his legs.

Suddenly, a man drew his knife and slashed at him. Du Shi was so scared that his scalp went numb and he fled in panic.

"Stop, I'm going to kill you!"

The man held the knife and kept chopping. The food and wine on the table were swept everywhere, and the ground was a mess. Fortunately, he had drunk a lot of wine and his steps were slow. He could not catch up with Du Shi, and was then held down by the people around him, which defused the disturbance.

The man was brought before Temujin, looking unconvinced. Temujin coughed twice and glared at him, "Why do you want to kill him?"

It turned out that this man was a captain of a thousand men, and his son was Temujin's personal guard. He was shot and killed by Sangkun's subordinates while defending Tushan last night. He was already very sad about his son's death.

As a result, when he saw that Temujin treated his enemy's son with such courtesy and wanted to marry his daughter to him, the captain could not suppress his inner impulse and drew his sword to kill Dushi.

"My dear nephew, this is my negligence. I apologize to you." He broke free from the support of the people around him and saluted him. Then he turned around and looked at the man, shouting, "Come here, beat him up!"

After a while, the man was dragged to the front of the tent and beaten with a military stick forty times in front of the historian. The man was also very tough and did not say a word until the man was covered in blood and fainted.

At this time, Dushi still did not speak, so Temujin ordered, "Imprison him, and after three days, behead the whole family."

When Guo Jing saw this scene, he only thought of one word: Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai!

The banquet ended in a bad mood and ended abruptly.
