Chapter 232 Showing Sincerity to Test Him
Chapter 232 Show sincerity and test him
Su Jinxiu felt something move in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"What refined iron? Is it gold and silver? How much can I give?"
Batur wiped the handle and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Since I can tell you about Jingtie, I naturally know that you and the prince are in the same group.
Stop pretending, the little wildcat’s eyes don’t lie.
Think about it and tell me."
After saying that, he stood up and left the yurt.
He didn't go far and was repairing on a big tree outside the camp.
Looking to the east, it was pitch black.
Close your eyes and you can imagine the bustling city.
Although he has never been there, he has drawn what it looks like from his mother's descriptions over and over again.
He is no better than his mother. He grew up on the grassland.
I have no longing for the capital city, but my mother has been thinking about going back all these years.
Now is the opportunity.
————————
Early the next morning, Batur returned to the yurt.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the fragrant fragrance and looked up.
I found a pot of mutton soup simmering on the fire. The soup was white in color and fragrant.
Su Jinxiu filled a bowl of mutton soup, tore a piece of dry naan and ate it slowly.
That way, there's no need to worry about being trapped.
Batur was not polite, stepped forward, filled a bowl of soup, tore half a piece of naan from Su Jinxiu's hand and ate it.
The soup is fresh and the meat is tender. The naan bread, which is usually difficult to swallow, is especially delicious after soaking up the soup.
A pot of mutton soup was quickly shared between the two of them.
Batur looked at Su Jinxiu and wiped his mouth.
"You'd better not do it from now on, I'm afraid I'll get used to your cooking skills.
I'm reluctant to let you go."
Su Jinxiu glanced at him and stood up.
"I won't offend my stomach. If you're afraid of getting used to it, don't eat it.
I have considered your proposal.
You have to let me see your sincerity first before I can know whether this transaction is a loss or not."
The implication is to see where the refined iron is.
Batur smiled and raised his eyebrows, walked aside and wiped the pot ashes.
"Okay, but you have to dress up."
As he spoke, he touched Su Jinxiu's face with the dark pot ashes in his hand.
Before Su Jinxiu could get angry, he opened the curtain and pointed ahead.
"This is for your own good. My big brother is not easy to fool."
Su Jinxiu frowned but didn't say anything.
Followed Batur and left the yurt.
It was also bad luck that I met Tengku and his party before they had gone very far.
When Batur saw this, he pushed Su Jinxiu behind him without moving his expression and bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness."
Tengku glanced at Su Jinxiu behind Batur and frowned in displeasure.
"This is the slave you captured? Who allowed you to take him around the camp in broad daylight?"
Batur lowered his head and explained patiently.
"I took him out for convenience because I was afraid that he would pollute the camp.
I accidentally bumped into His Highness, please forgive me."
Before Tengku could speak, a strong man beside him laughed.
"Where can Batur take him out for convenience? This is for going out with him to have fun!
I heard that people in the Central Plains like to have male pets.
Batur is half Central Plains ancestry, so of course he has the same preferences."
As Teng Ku listened, he looked at Batur with more and more disgust.
He spat and pushed Batur away.
"It's such a disgrace to us Tatars, get away with this disgusting thing like you.
If I see you again, I will skin you."
Batur was pushed and staggered, watching Tengku and his party walk away.
When the others were gone, he led Su Jinxiu out of the camp like nothing happened.
The two of them rode camels and headed west.
After walking for a day, I saw it was getting dark.
Batur found an abandoned town to rest, lit a bonfire and baked naan cakes.
"You take a rest and continue your journey tomorrow morning."
Su Jinxiu didn't ask any questions, just took two bites of naan bread and lay down to rest.
The sky is unobstructed and the stars are twinkling all over the sky, which is very beautiful.
Her heart moved. She didn't know why, but she thought of Xiao Jingze and wondered how he was doing now.
"Thinking about your lover?"
Batur half leaned against the earth wall, bent his knees and looked up at the sky.
"Aren't you Central Plains people the most honorable? What if your lover knew.
These days, you eat and sleep with me, a Tatar bastard.
Will I still want you?"
Su Jinxiu closed her eyes and turned over.
Just when Batur thought she couldn't speak, she opened her mouth.
"He's not that kind of person..."
Batur looked at Su Jinxiu's slender back and smiled playfully.
One night passed and before dawn, Su Jinxiu was woken up by Batur.
He handed Su Jinxiu a cloth towel and motioned for her to take it with her.
"You have to walk the rest of the way blindfolded."
Obviously, Su Jinxiu cannot know where the iron ore is located.
Su Jinxiu also understood the situation and covered her eyes without saying a word.
Climb on the camel and continue on your way with Batur leading the camel.
On the road, camels barked from time to time.
Su Jinxiu's heart moved as she listened.
When the sun came out, it was extremely hot on my body.
"arrive!"
The camel stopped, and Batur signaled Su Jinxiu to pull down the cloth.
The sudden bright light made Su Jinxiu frown unbearably, and she waited until she got used to it.
She saw black smoke curling up in the distance as a group of people dug out ore and carried it out on camels.
Batur looked at Su Jinxiu and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"How, after seeing the iron ore, do you feel my sincerity?"
Su Jinxiu withdrew her gaze and glanced at Battelle.
"This iron mine doesn't look very fertile, and the Tatars have a quota of fine iron tribute every year.
How much more can I give you? Can I make a deal for you?"
Batur knew that Su Jinxiu was trying to trick him, but he didn't hide it.
“In previous years, of course there was nothing left over, but starting from this year, there will be some left over.
I'll give you this number."
He made a gesture, but he was willing to give up the book.
Su Jinxiu didn't really want fine iron, she just wanted to find out the news.
"What do you mean, can we have some extra this year?
Is there someone in the court who has a deal with you? Allowing you to seize these fine iron at will?"
Batur put away the smile on his face and took two steps forward.
"Hey, I said, little wild cat.
No one told you not to be too smart?
If you know too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this grassland."
He just let out a little information, and this little girl found out such an important secret.
Should I say that this little girl is too smart?
Or is he too defenseless?
Su Jinxiu got her guess from Batur's eyes.
Without asking any further questions, he blindfolded himself again and walked back.
On the way back, the two of them didn't rest again.
At dawn the next day, we arrived at the camp.
Far away, I saw two children hanging at the entrance of the camp.
It was the child who asked Batur for candy that day. He was covered in injuries and motionless at the moment.
Batur's expression changed, and he galloped over on his camel to rescue the two of them.
"Nuda, Hachi, what's going on?"
Su Jinxiu rushed forward and couldn't bear to see the two children dying.
He knelt down, untied the water bag, squeezed some spiritual spring water and handed it over.
"Give them some water first."
