That's why the King of the Grassland adopted him as an adopted son when he was young. Since he came to the king's tent, he had never seen his mother, not even once.
At first, the King of the Grassland always found all kinds of excuses to prevaricate and reject him. He took the king's words seriously, thinking that as long as he was strong enough, he would be able to see his mother.
However, the truth was not so. The King of the Grassland didn't let his mother meet him. The purpose was to use his mother to hold him back and make him willingly serve the grassland.
If his mother hadn't been in someone else's hands, he might have fled long ago. He didn't like this kind of life either. What he liked was a free and care - free life, not a life like a walking corpse as he was living now.
Thinking of this, the figure of Mu Fengqie suddenly appeared in his mind. That woman seemed to have some kind of magic power and kept reappearing in his mind.
There were countless women on the grassland, and the King of the Grassland kept sending women to him, but he had never cared so much about any woman.
In the dead of night, the Tule tribe gathered their troops and were ready to march towards Pingzhou City. The alarm in Pingzhou City rang again. After getting weapons, the people in the city were no longer as panicked as before. Instead, they were a bit excited when they heard the sound, especially Ouyang Heng.
He had only witnessed a little bit of the power of that powder and had never seen its greater power. Today was just the right time to let the Tule tribe know their strength.
When Yuan Yuhan ran out of the room, A Ru just poked her head out to look around. Their eyes met, and they both smiled and nodded.
"Um... Be careful and don't get hurt." As soon as A Ru finished speaking, she quickly closed the door.
She leaned against the door. She could clearly hear her regular heartbeat. A Ru, who had been in a deep sleep, sat up out of the blue when she heard the sound, and her body seemed to move on its own to the door. Sure enough, she saw the person she had been longing for.
Seeing A Ru's cute little actions, Yuan Yuhan smiled and quickly left the governor's mansion.
At this moment, the outside of the city wall was full of people from the Tule tribe. The number of people this time was much larger than the previous times. It could be seen that this attack was their main one. The previous surprise attacks were nothing compared to this one.
"People in the city, listen up! If you lay down your arms and surrender, I won't kill you. But if you're stubborn, I'll massacre Pingzhou!" Tule Haojia shouted calmly.
While speaking, his eyes were constantly sizing up the city wall, but he didn't see the person he was longing for, which made Tule Haojia very disappointed.
Hearing this, Ouyang Heng snorted coldly. "Dream on if you want me to surrender! You can only get me to surrender by stepping over my dead body. But don't be too cocky, young man. It's still uncertain who will win in the end!"
Not to mention that Ouyang Heng now had weapons in his hands. Even without them, he would never surrender. In Ouyang Heng's dictionary, there was absolutely no such word as "giving up"!
Tule Haojia's eyes were very cold. "Since that's the case, there's nothing else to talk about. Men, attack!"
At his order, the grassland people began to charge up in an orderly manner in different batches and directions. It was obvious that they had received special training. It had to be said that Tule Haojia was a rare talent in training soldiers.
Ouyang Heng scattered all the powder and then tied some fire sources to the arrowheads. There were countless loud noises on the battlefield.
Before Tule Haojia could come to his senses, he was blown away by the explosives. Fortunately, he had good martial arts skills. Otherwise, he might have been blown to pieces by now.
He never expected there to be such a powerful thing. So his well - prepared troops had already been split in two. Not a single soldier in Pingzhou City had been lost, but the Tule tribe had suffered heavy losses. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, his entire army would be wiped out.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Tule Haojia roared.
For some reason, the figure of that woman suddenly appeared in his mind again. Was all this the work of that woman?
The soldiers in Pingzhou City cheered when they saw the grassland people retreating. Everyone was stunned by the moment when the explosives exploded. At the same time, this news spread, and the person who became famous along with this news was Mu Fengqie.
She was regarded as a divine being in the city. Everyone was full of energy when they mentioned her. Her great achievements had even outshone Ouyang Heng's, and not even the imperial city could hide her fame.
Tule Haojia was seriously injured. By the time he returned to the king's tent, the King of the Grassland was already waiting for him there.
"Father, your son is unfilial. I failed to capture Pingzhou City for you. Please spare my mother!" Tule Haojia said weakly.
He was seriously injured and kept bleeding. His face was so pale that it was bloodless, looking like a ghost from the underworld.
He knew how important this matter was to his father, but he still messed it up. Every time he made a mistake or messed up something before, it wasn't him who was punished, but his poor mother.
So he was afraid that his father would take out his anger on his mother. Even if he was barely holding on, he had to ask his father to spare his mother.
The King of the Grassland looked at him with a fake smile. "This is not your fault. I'm sure you've done your best. But I believe that after you recover, you will make up for your mistakes, right?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Tule Haojia's face, and he nodded heavily. "Father, don't worry. Your son will definitely help you fulfill your wish. Next time, I won't let you down again!"
He knew that his father still cared about him and wouldn't be so heartless. As long as his mother was okay, he could rest assured.
Hearing Tule Haojia's answer, the King of the Grassland smiled satisfactorily. "But since you were young, I've taught you that you have to take responsibility for your mistakes. How will you deal with the heavy losses of my tribe?"
The King of the Grassland still had that fake - smiling expression on his face when looking at Tule Haojia, but Tule Haojia also knew that his father was unhappy. His father never showed his anger on his face, so he became nervous.
He wasn't afraid of his father himself, but he was afraid that his father would abuse his mother. Considering their father - son relationship of more than a decade, after all, his father had raised him for more than ten years. He wasn't completely indifferent to his father. His father had been very good to him.
