Timur stayed on the dirty and sultry smuggling boat for many days, but he only knew that whenever the boat was stopped to replenish supplies or unloading cargo, he had to stay in the bottom cabin. Only when the boat was wandering on the sea at night could he be able to leave the cabin to breathe and see the sky without sun. In addition to loneliness and fear, he was also suffering from seasickness. Whenever he encountered wind and waves, he would vomit it dark. That feeling was worse than death.

"Yesheng, come out soon, we are going ashore!"

"Here?" He was also the pseudonym used by Tiemur. If he dared to call himself the Prince of the Mongol, he would be afraid that the sailors on the smuggling ship would tie him up and extort money without the use of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The sleepy Tiemur heard the call of Aldam and was excited and climbed onto the deck through the narrow passage.

"Now we have arrived outside the sea of ​​Cheongju, and we still have to take a boat to get ashore!" Aldam whispered.

"Oh!" Tiemur then discovered that the ship was docked on a very small island, so small that it would be flooded with high tide. In front of him, there was still a dark sea surface. Only the mast lights on the two small boats illuminated the space several meters. At this time, someone was carrying goods to the merchant ship, and someone loading the goods on the merchant ship onto the boat, probably bartering the goods in order to make higher profits.

He could only sigh at this. Nowadays, people with some power are doing smuggling business, and the court is powerless to do anything about it. These powerful people have made a fortune by making money, but the court cannot receive pennant tariffs. He also knew that when the relationship between the two countries became more tense, the more these smuggling merchants became rich, they were willing to continue to war between the two countries.

At this moment, Timur himself was unable to protect himself, so of course he didn't dare to care. In fact, there were people in his mansion running a smuggling business. He waited for the two ships to complete the transaction, and he and Ardam got off on a small boat, of course, they had to pay a considerable fee, almost exhausting all the last little money he had on. However, he ignored it and was the right way to get ashore safely.

The two drifted in the dark for unknown amount of time. Until the sky was bright, the boat finally approached the shore, threw them into a reed marsh and rowed away again. Looking at the surroundings, they were a little stunned. Ardam had never passed by the Mongol and had no idea where he was. Although Tiemur had reached his territory, he did not know where he was.

They waited until the sky was bright and the two of them knew the direction. They wandered in the reed marsh for a long time before they walked out? And there was empty wasteland around them? There was no people at all, and they couldn't even find anyone asking for directions. They finally fumbled and walked onto the main road? Want to ask for directions? But they didn't expect that before they could speak, they had already covered their noses and left.

Tiemur and Ardam looked at each other. Not only did they smile bitterly, but they had never taken a shower since they boarded the boat? The clothes were the same as those who escaped from Lin'an? They were already covered in fishy smell and looked like beggars. Tiemur knew that as long as he went to the post road, he could find the local government, and all problems would be solved at that time? He would also be safely escorted to Dadu.

But Timur's proposal was immediately rejected by Aldam? He said that the current situation is unknown and he did not know what the Khan's attitude was towards him privately escaping back. And whether the local government was a subordinate of his elder brother or a member of a faction. He just went there rashly, and it was like delivering goods to his door and killing them secretly? No one would know, wouldn't that be too unfair?

Tiemur was shocked when he heard this. He was so proud that he almost broke the big thing. So the two of them found an inn first. He asked the store to buy clothes and take a bath again. He asked Qi to help him buy two horses. At this time, the money he had left was spent? Aldam took out his own money to solve the urgent problem. This touched Tiemur very much. Not only did he risk his life to follow him out of trouble, he also spared no effort to help him, and he already regarded him as a trustworthy partner.

Timur followed Ardam's advice, rested in the inn, avoided potential political enemies, and asked about what happened recently in most of the city. After asking, he found out that the situation had changed drifted on the sea for about 20 days.

In order to deal with the possible attacks by the Southern Dynasties, the Khan had ordered the mobilization of the surrounding Red Army and the Zongwang Army who had entered the guards to quickly go south to Kaifeng, and ordered the personal army of the guards to rush to the north bank of the Yellow River to set up defenses so that Kaifeng would fall to block the southern army that continued to go north. The hinterland of the capital was also ready to start the war. In addition to renovating the city defenses of various prefectures and counties along the way, they also repaired fortresses in coastal areas to prevent the Southern Army from coming from the sea.

While preparing for the war, the two countries also negotiated on the "Langzhong Incident". In addition to the original proposal to punish the perpetrators, the Southern Dynasties also proposed huge compensation. Because the differences between the two sides were too great, it was difficult to reach a consensus, the envoys of the Southern Dynasties left the palace in anger. Soon after that, the Southern Dynasties suddenly launched an attack in Xiangfan, carrying the infantry army to go up the Han River, crossed the boundary line, conquered Guanghua, attacked the city of Junzhou, and seized Yunxian.

Now only know that the Xiangyang Southern Army has not stopped its attack. A large number of troops continue to advance westward at a speed of 200 miles a day. The troops deployed along the river cannot be stopped. Officials from prefectures and counties have abandoned the city and fled. The southern army's troops are approaching Jinzhou. The court judged that the Southern Army's move is intended to be Hanzhong, and predicted that Langzhong will lose its enemies. Now the Khan has ordered the Wang family to give up Xichuan and quickly return to Hanzhong to ensure that it is not lost.

Tiemuer secretly sighed that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty had played another beautiful voice and attacked the world. He successfully used this tactic in several major wars, but his side would always fall into a trap. This time, the Southern Army also set off a stance in Yingtian Mansion, attracting his attention. In fact, he would also ensure the safety of the capital, and even knowing that it was a plan, he would also jump in.

However, this time, the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty was even more skillful and chose to rush to Hanzhong from a thousand miles of water to everyone's expectations. Tiemur knew that with his own Han River naval army, the combat effectiveness of the Han River naval army was not a single general of the Southern Dynasty naval army. The prefectures and counties along the way were not prepared enough, and it was even more difficult to stop the powerful Southern Dynasty naval army. Even if he was determined to fight, he could not do anything to the enemy in the river. He might have to watch the fleet sail around the city and set sail.

Tiemur saw the scene of the Southern Dynasty escort fleet set sailing. The tall warships lined up on the sea, firing cannons together, and it was like thunder in the sky. Just looking at the dozens of black holes on the side of a warship, it made people feel powerless. He believed that with just one cannon equipped on the warship, a volley could destroy a city wall, and if the entire fleet fired a volley, it could level a county town.

So Tiemur had already predicted that Hanzhong would definitely lose, but he did not feel sad. Instead, he felt a little happy. He felt that the Southern Dynasty gave him a sigh of relief and punished the Wang family, who had to be so embarrassed. Moreover, the Wang family was hit, which would also damage his backing strength in the court, which would help him fight for the throne in the future, which would be equivalent to the Southern Dynasty clearing out potential enemies for him.

After two days of rest, Timur and Ardam quietly left Qingzhou, wandering around the day and avoiding the crowds, so as to avoid being recognized by the people they knew. The closer they got to the capital, he became more and more careful. Now he didn't know what the Khan was about to escape back, so he naturally did not dare to enter the city rashly. So he sneaked into the Thousand Houses stationed outside the city.

Denominated a thousand households is equivalent to Tiemur's private army, and his personal property can determine their life and death with one word. Therefore, these people are absolutely loyal to their subordinates and can ensure his safety. The first thing he did was to send people into the city to find out the news in the court, and try to contact Kunde Hall to find out what the Khan was about to escape back to the country...

"See Your Highness!" While waiting anxiously, someone suddenly broke into the house and said with a polite look.

"General Manager Fang?" Tie Muer was surprised to find that he was the general manager Fang Chenyou. He knew that he was the confidant of his mother and happily helped him up, "Is the mother still safe?"

"After learning that Your Highness had left the Southern Dynasty, the Queen was worried about His Highness's safety day and night. When she learned that Your Highness had returned safely, she was very happy and sent a servant out of the palace to visit her." Fang Chenyou stood up and reported, and looked up and down at Tiemuer and said, "Have you suffered all the way?"

"Oh, if you can come back, it's nothing to suffer!" Tiemur sighed softly.

"Your Highness has lost a lot of weight and haggardness. It seems that he has suffered a lot of hard work." Fang Chenyou is the best at observing his words and expressions. When he saw him sighing, he immediately said sympathetically.

"This is a trivial matter, but what is the attitude of the Khan now towards me and returning to China? What are the changes in the court?" Tiemur was anxious to know the current situation, so he skipped the section perfunctorily.

"After learning that Your Highness had left, the Southern Dynasty sent troops to search everywhere and ordered the prefectures along the way to intercept and arrest him, but nothing was found. He also sent an envoy to ask our court for guilt and asked us to hand over his highness. The Khan was very angry about this and refused sternly. He then asked the envoy of the Southern Dynasty to question whether the envoy of Your Highness had secretly murdered him. The thief came to call for the thief to catch him." Fang Chenyou helped Tiemur sit down and then replied.

"It seems that the Khan is still defending His Highness, but the envoys of the Southern Dynasties have not left yet, and the war between the two countries has begun again, and the situation is still unclear. Therefore, the queen asked His Highness to avoid it for a while, and wait for the situation to be clearer before slowly informing the Khan, and take the opportunity to let His Highness return to the court."

"It's pretty good!" Tiemur breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and most of his heart fell. What he was most worried about was that the war between the two countries had resurfaced. Under the pressure of the Southern Dynasties, his father Khan sent him back to the Southern Dynasties as a massacre, and then everything would be over.

"Your Highness will be back, just rest with peace of mind. The Empress said that she will mediate everything from it, and she will definitely keep your highness safe!" Fang Chenyou said with a smile.

"What's the situation in the DPRK?" Timur asked.

"The court is now surging and big events are happening. But your Highness, don't worry, everything is developing in favor of your Highness!" Fang Chenyou said.
