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

The capture of Lady Ta'erhun marked the end of the war.

After all, a large portion of the Tumat people's strength was outside the mountain village, preparing to ambush the Mongols advancing from the main road. The number of men inside the village was far less than the enemies who had invaded.

After all, the power of the fire蒺藜 forced the Tumat people to abandon their greatest advantage. When it came to real battlefield combat, they couldn't compare to the Mongols who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

After all, their equipment was far inferior to that of the Mongols, who were equipped with Central Plains weapons.

Now, the capture of the brave, beautiful, and powerful Lady Ta'erhun further caused them to lose their spiritual pillar.

Clang!

Clang clang~

The scimitars and longbows were thrown to the ground, and the Tumat people inside the mountain village knelt down, surrendering to the Mongols.

"This is the Uteng Bow?"

Only then did Zhao Shuo have time to pick up the Tumat people's ancestral treasure bow.

The bow body was made from the spine of a tiger-striped birch struck by lightning, with black lightning scorch marks intertwined with amber blood glue, exuding an ancient aura. The bowstring was twisted from bear tendons, as tough as iron, and a touch of it sent a chilling aura to the fingertips. The holes in the mammoth ivory bow tips emitted a low-frequency whistle when swung, like the roar of an ancient behemoth. Fine diamonds ground from ice marrow jade were inlaid on the bow body, refracting faint blue light spots, indicating that this bow should be able to guide night battles.

"Good bow! Indeed a good bow!"

Zhao Shuo held the Uteng Bow and picked up a captured iron-backed arrow.

Swish!

The bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow shot out like a shooting star!

Boom!

"Is he a son of the mountains and forests? Or a darling of the mountain gods?"

"We lost without injustice!"

The Tumat people looked at Zhao Shuo with awe, discussing among themselves.

Some devout elders even knelt down, calling out to worship the son of the mountains and forests!

The effect was even better than defeating the Tumat people in the previous battle.

Jebe's eyes also revealed a strong look of envy.

Of course, it was only envy. He understood that Zhao Shuo was the commander of this battle, and the treasure bow should belong to Zhao Shuo. Moreover, Zhao Shuo had innate divine strength, and he could draw the treasure bow to its full extent. If it were him, he might not be able to do it. Zhao Shuo was the most suitable owner of this treasure bow.

Zhao Shuo himself was certainly very happy. As his physical fitness continued to improve, ordinary hard bows were too light in his hands, making it difficult to exert his full strength. This Uteng Bow seemed to be tailor-made for him. He believed that even if he encountered the Xixia's wart armor again, he could easily shoot through it from a hundred paces away!

"Son-in-law, look..."

Subutai, however, was meticulous and gently nudged Zhao Shuo's shoulder, then nodded his chin towards the side.

It turned out that Huo'erchi and Hu Duhai had already been rescued by the soldiers.

Obviously, although they were imprisoned, they had not been abused and their complexions were still rosy. It was just that their long-term imprisonment had taken a toll on their spirits.

Dong dong dong~

The old general Hu Duhai took a few quick steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Thank you, Son-in-law, for saving me! No'erhun Mountain is high, but not higher than the kindness of the Son-in-law in saving my life. The water of Lake Baikal is deep, but not deeper than the gratitude in my heart. I, Hu Duhai, will not hesitate to die for you in the future!"

"Not at all, this is all Genghis Khan's order, I am just acting on orders."

Zhao Shuo still had to give some face to Temujin's sworn brother, the old man of Little Sister Cheche Yijian, and quickly helped him up.

"That's also because the Son-in-law is invincible and descended like a divine soldier to rescue the two of us."

Huo'erchi also knelt on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Last night I dreamed that a tiger captured a leopard and a gyrfalcon captured a swan. It turned out that the highest-flying eagle on the grassland, Son-in-law Zhao Shuo, rescued the humble me. Look, Son-in-law, Huo'erchi's life was given by you, and I will surely die for you. Life and death are destined, but repaying kindness is endless!"

These words were very beautiful.

However, Zhao Shuo would not indulge him.

"Oh? Die for me? That's not necessary... But!"

Pa!

Pa!

Pa!

Zhao Shuo took the horse whip from Subutai next to him and lashed it at Huo'erchi's head, saying: "Before I came, Genghis Khan told me: when you see him, don't talk nonsense, just whip him twenty times first!"

After a few whips, the skin and flesh were in pain, and blood instantly soaked Huo'erchi's clothes.

Each whip seemed to tear his soul, bringing endless pain.

The whips made him almost unable to kneel, his hands were desperately supporting his body, his eyes were blurred, but his heart was filled with guilt and remorse, and he did not dare to dodge at all.

"You harmed the old general Hu Duhai!" Zhao Shuo's voice was as loud as thunder, and every word cut into Huo'erchi's heart like a knife.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!

"You caused Bo'erhu to die in battle!" Zhao Shuo's horse whip fell heavily again, and blood dripped from Huo'erchi's cheeks onto the soil.

"You caused countless soldiers to die on the battlefield, leaving countless orphans and widows!"

Zhao Shuo whipped Huo'erchi one after another, as if to beat all his sins and remorse into his bones.

Huo'erchi bit his teeth and did not say a word. He could still endure the pain on his body, but the guilt in his heart almost made him unable to breathe.

In fact, he had long regretted it.

How could he be so obsessed, seeing the beautiful and moving Lady Ta'erhun, and made such a bold impulse!

How could such a beauty be something he could touch?

Even if he had a stroke of luck and climbed onto Genghis Khan's high branch with a word, and was granted the title of ten thousand households, it was impossible.

But, it was too late!

Everything was too late!

Because of his momentary impulse, he implicated the old general Hu Duhai, killed Bo'erhu, one of the Mongols, and even killed countless brave soldiers. These were all meaningless sacrifices!

Everything was Huo'erchi's fault!

Until the twenty whips were finished, Huo'erchi did not dare to raise his head. Tears mixed with soil and blood dripped on the ground, saying: "I am guilty! I am guilty! I will give all my property to the Son-in-law to thank him for saving my life! I will divide my ten thousand households among the families of Bo'erhu and the soldiers who died in battle! If possible, I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"

"Hmph, I don't want your property! How to deal with you is not up to you, nor is it up to me, it is up to Genghis Khan!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will listen to the Son-in-law!"

Once upon a time, Huo'erchi was also a member of the Mongol nobles. Although he was not very capable, he was witty, humorous, and had excellent interpersonal skills. Even Temujin affectionately called him "Lucky Bird."

But now he was timid and subservient, and whatever Zhao Shuo said was what he did.

It seemed that the great disaster he had caused this time had really hit and changed him a lot.

Then, Zhao Shuo urgently wrote a battle report in Mongolian and sent it to the royal court via Jade Claw Divine Eagle.

Temujin came very quickly.

Seven days later, he came to the shore of Lake Baikal with five hundred guards, as well as more than a dozen nobles such as Khulan, Hasar, Jochi, and Tolui.
