Ling Ruo was silent for a while and said: "Perhaps in the Queen's view, King Khan has been completely benevolent to the people who were plundered, but in my opinion, it is not the case. Those people worked hard just to have enough food and warm clothes, but
As a result, the things you worked hard for were taken away. Although your life is still there, you are starving and freezing. If you were the queen, would you be grateful to the person who took the things away?"
He Zhuo sighed softly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The mutual trade is closed. If we don't plunder supplies, we will have nothing but cattle and sheep. Such days are really difficult for the tribal people."
.”
"The reason why the mutual market was closed was caused by King Khan himself. He cannot blame others." Before He Zhuo could speak, Ling Ruo continued: "I know that the queen wanted to say that the profiteers in the mutual market were exploiting you, and that the government and businessmen colluded, confusing right and wrong. But if King Khan had originally
It is not about betraying one's trust and attacking the Qing Dynasty, but it is about telling the emperor about the various shortcomings in the mutual market. If the emperor were to clean up the mutual market, it would not have developed to the point where it is today."
"But in this case, we will always be controlled by the Qing Dynasty." Facing He Zhuo's words, Ling Ruo showed an indifferent smile and said: "In the final analysis, it is still driven by ambition."
"Perhaps you are right, but without ambition, there would not have been so many dynasty changes over the past thousands of years. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to take over the Central Plains and become a huge empire was also driven by ambition
.”
Ling Ruo nodded slightly and said: "I know, so there is no absolute right or wrong in everything. Everything is just different positions. But one thing is certain, when there is a war, the victims will always be innocent people."
Speaking of this, He Zhuo also felt a little heavy. After a long time, she changed the topic and said: "I heard King Khan say that you come from an official family, so you should be able to play chess. I wonder if you would be interested in playing a game with me?
"
Ling Ruo said in surprise: "Can the queen play chess?"
Seeing her surprised look, He Zhuo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Isn't it strange that in such a wild place, there are people who can play chess?"
Her words revealed her thoughts, Ling Ruo's face turned red and she said, "The Queen was just joking, but it's really strange to hear this all of a sudden."
"I can't blame you for thinking that, because there are very few people in our tribe who can play chess, and King Khan is one of them. However, he is usually very busy and has little time to play chess with me, so on weekdays I can only play chess with you.
It’s really boring to entertain oneself alone.”
Although he had met He Zhuocai a few times, Ling Ruo had a good impression of the queen. After hearing what she said, he said, "Since the queen is so elegant, it's natural for me to accompany her."
A flash of joy flashed across He Zhuo's face, and he said to Alma: "Go quickly and get the chessboard and chess pieces from the back tent."
"Yes." Alma agreed and soon brought the chessboard and chess pieces over and placed them between He Zhuo and Ling Ruo.
He Zhuo, holding black, and Ling Ruo, holding white, placed their pieces on the chessboard respectively. As the number of chess pieces on the chessboard increased, Ling Ruo gradually discovered that Queen Junger's chess skills were indeed not weak, and she was on par with her; however,
As time goes by, high-level
Next, although He Zhuo carefully calculated every move, she didn't have many opportunities to play against others, so she was slightly inferior to Ling Ruo in terms of experience. She was defeated by Ling Ruo in a corner of the chessboard with a little trick, and she made frequent mistakes after that.
, in the end, there is no way to save the day, so we can only give up and admit defeat.
Although she lost, He Zhuo was extremely happy. She had not played so happily with someone for a long time. After that, she played three more games, losing two and drawing one.
He Zhuo wiped the sweat from his palms due to nervousness and said: "Your chess skills are so good. I have tried my best to win you, but I can't do it. The most I can do is tie you."
Ling Ruo said humbly: "The queen has given me the award. I was just lucky. If we had played a few more games, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the upper hand like now."
"It's a pity that it's too late now, otherwise I really want to play a few more games with you." He Zhuo usually plays chess alone, so it's rare for someone to play chess with her, and her chess skills are very good, so she is naturally very interested.
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "If you can't do it today, then tomorrow, I won't leave here for a while, and playing chess is just a good way to relieve boredom. It won't be boring."
He Zhuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's settled, I'll come to play chess with you again tomorrow."
While they were talking, a maid hurriedly walked in. After giving a salute to He Zhuo, she said eagerly: "Queen Qi, King Khan and his companions are back."
He Zhuo glanced at her and said displeasedly: "I'll be back as soon as I get back. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The maid bit her lip and said softly: "Mother, King Khan...he is injured."
As soon as he heard that Galdan was injured, He Zhuo's expression suddenly changed and he quickly said: "Where is King Khan injured? Is it serious?"
"I heard that he injured his arm. Doctor Dong is already treating King Khan..." Before the maid could finish her words, He Zhuo stood up and spoke hastily with Ling Ruo, and then quickly left the felt tent.
After He Zhuo left, Jin Niang whispered: "Madam, why don't you go and see King Khan?"
After ordering Ping'er to put away the chess pieces, Ling Ruofang said to Jin Niang, who had been waiting for her answer: "I'm not a doctor, so it's useless to go there. Besides, didn't I just say that I just hurt my arm and won't be alive?"
Success."
Seeing what she said, Jin Niang could only shut up her voice helplessly, but she still couldn't understand why Madam was so indifferent to King Khan and didn't even care at all when she heard that he was injured.
"Madam, what should I do with these chess pieces?" It was Ping'er who packed up the chess pieces and asked Ling Ruo what to do with them.
Ling Ruo said: "This is the Queen's thing, please send it to the Queen's tent."
Ping'er's promise came to her lips, but she took it back because she remembered that she couldn't leave Ling Ruo's side, so how could she send something there.
Ling Ruo saw what she was thinking and said, "Mother Jin is watching over here, everything will be fine. Just go and come back as soon as possible."
Mrs. Jin also said from the side: "Yes, I am guarding my wife. Go quickly."
Ping'er reluctantly nodded, and worriedly warned Jin Niang before leaving. After Ping'er left, Ling Ruo shook her head slightly and said: "It seems that what happened last time really frightened Ping'er.
"
Jin Niang said with some sympathy: "It's no wonder she has been whipped twenty times, and her skin and flesh are bruised. No one wants to be beaten a second time."
Ling Ruo said guiltily: "I'm sorry for her about this, I hope she won't blame me."
Jin Niang consoled her, "No, I see that Ping'er is fine now, and she won't be so petty. Madam, don't worry."
