Chapter 388 Where is Bagta?
Hulong, the Khan of Hunye Kingdom, is the most powerful warrior on the grassland, without a doubt.
Everyone on the grassland knew this, including the people of Tiele Khanate.
Since Hu Long was a child, no one of his peers could match him.
He was so strong that he could pull back a frightened horse, push a carriage, and move the stones on the millstone.
The people of Tiele Khan worshipped wolves, while the people of Hunye Kingdom worshipped the sun.
They believed that Hulong was given power by the sun god at birth, which is why he had such a strong physique.
Hulong himself also believed that he had the power given by God and would be able to accomplish great things.
Before he became Khan, he led his troops to fight and conquered several small tribes.
He is the closest being to God in the eyes of the Hunxie people.
He married several beautiful girls from their grassland and had many children.
But among those children, only one inherited his innate supernatural power.
Hulong named the child Bagta.
In the language of the Hunxie people, Bagta means son of the sun.
Bagta showed amazing strength when he was only a few months old. By the time he was over one year old, he was as big as a three-year-old child.
Hulong regards his son Bagta as his pride and his true bloodline, and hopes that his son will be more powerful than himself in the future.
Soon after, Hulong became the new Khan.
He was unwilling to stop at the existing borders, and sent troops south several times in an attempt to expand his territory.
More than 20 years ago, he personally led his troops to fight against the Xue family army. He left the heartland of Hunxie and went to Dayu.
When the war was halfway through, a piece of bad news came -
Bagta was abducted.
In the small tribe that was conquered by Hulong before, there was an old chief named Bahti who held a grudge against Hulong and pretended to submit to him.
While Hulong was leading his army to invade Dayu, Bahti led his men in a rebellion and stormed into the royal court.
When Hulong, who was fighting on the border of Dayu, learned about it, he was furious and sent Tumusuo to bring people back to suppress the rebellion.
Tumuso fulfilled his mission and captured Bahti and others after returning.
However, many people in the Hunxie court had already died, including Baghta's mother. Baghta's whereabouts were unknown, and not even his body was found.
Tumuso took Bahti all the way south and brought him to Hulong.
The evil people have their own set of cruel punishments.
Hulong ordered his men to dig out Bahti's left eyeball first, then pour oil on it and burn the rotten flesh in the left eye to prevent it from getting infected and endangering his life.
This allows people to continue living in torture.
When Bahti had one of his eyes gouged out, Hulong clenched his fists like stones and asked him:
"Where is Baghta?"
Bahti spat, "Dead."
Hulong then ordered people to cut off pieces of flesh from Bahti's hands.
Bahti's face was twisted in pain.
Hulong asked again: "Where is Bagta?"
This time Bahti said he didn't know.
Bahti's tone was filled with a sense of revenge:
"I knew I would go find your son. I didn't hurt him. I just gave him to someone else."
"You want to know who I gave your son to? I gave him to the Han people in the south!"
"You killed so many Han people and invaded their territory. They want to skin you alive. Guess what they're going to do to your son?"
Hu Long didn't guess.
He ordered Tumuso to torture and interrogate all of Bahti's accomplices, and then arrest them in the northwest of Dayu based on the clues obtained.
Later, they really caught a group of Han people who were in contact with Bahti.
The captured Han people were also subjected to cruel punishment.
They were a group of herdsmen living in the northern border of Dayu at that time.
The war burned their homes, cattle and sheep; the Hu people killed their men, abducted their women, and took their children as slaves.
The eyes of those Han people were gouged out, and bright red blood flowed from the empty eye sockets, but they laughed almost crazily.
They said to Hulong:
"We told you never to see him again. We cut out his tongue, beat his brains out, and dumped him on a road where others would pass by."
"He might be killed by wolves or eaten by the refugees."
"He may very well survive, but he will only be a cripple in the future, picked up by others and treated like a pig or a dog. Your beloved son will only be able to be a mute slave to others, working hard and being bullied his entire life, a life worse than death..."
"Why can you barbarians torture our people and destroy our families? You will never know whether your son is alive or dead in your entire life, hahahahaha..."
Hu Long listened to everything they said without saying a word.
Then he stretched out his fists and smashed the man's ribs with one punch.
One punch, two punches, three punches... He used his fists to break the bones of those Han people and made them beg for death.
Hulong sent people to continue looking for his son, and at the same time forced Xue's army to retreat.
But later they failed and had to withdraw from Dayu.
As for the missing Bagta, the Hulong faction's men have never found him. Everyone only speculates that the child must be dead.
Hu Long returned to the Hunxie royal court.
The beautiful girls on the grassland are like flowers, blooming new ones every year.
Hulong's previous wives and concubines died, and he married new ones. For men on their grassland, reproduction is the most important thing.
Having more children and a larger population will result in stronger military power.
Hulong later had other children, but to his disappointment, none of them inherited his power as perfectly as Bagta.
Among those children, there was not one that truly satisfied him. They were not brave and decisive enough, and were not suitable for going out to fight, so they could only guard the royal court.
The grassland has lost the son of the sun.
More than twenty years later, Hu Long still sighs when he occasionally thinks about it.
He couldn't help but think that if the child were still alive, he would have grown up.
If that incident had not happened that year, his child would have become as dazzling as the sun.
Hu Long didn't dare to think too deeply about what would happen to the child after being stranded in the Central Plains. As soon as he thought of a terrible situation, more and more terrifying conjectures would emerge in his mind...
Hu Long was not a man who indulged in sadness. After so much time had passed, he did not often think about it.
However, fate is unpredictable.
That day, when they once again forced the Xue family army into a desperate situation, reinforcements from Da Qi arrived.
Hu Long clearly saw a young man of extraordinary stature fighting in the enemy army.
At that moment, Hu Long's heart suddenly hung in the air and his scalp felt tight.
Looks like, very similar.
That young man looks a lot like myself when I was younger.
Hu Long's guesses emerged again, and this time they were out of control.
After withdrawing the troops, Hu Long called all the soldiers who had been close to the young man and questioned them.
Several of the soldiers said:
"That person seems unable to speak, as if he has no tongue."
Hu Long suppressed his excitement and decided to bring the person back at all costs.
Therefore, there was the scene of arresting people on the battlefield before.
After the person was caught, Hu Long was going to wait for Kong Wu to wake up and explain everything to him.
But when Kong Wu was still asleep, Helian Wuqin came to Hulong in person and wanted to talk to him.
Helian Wuqin was very dissatisfied with Hulong's behavior and was worried.
When the reinforcements from the Great Qi arrived, they had already been defeated twice, and even their own grasslands had been occupied by the Great Qi people.
But Hulong spent so much manpower to capture a small follower, which was of no use in reversing the situation.
Hulong returned to his tent and negotiated with Helian Wuqin.
Before the two of them had exchanged a few words, Hu Long heard that Kong Wu had woken up and ran out uncontrollably.
Hu Long turned around and left, personally subduing his son.
When he pressed his son's shoulders, he could feel his son's extraordinary strength.
He had to use all his strength, otherwise even he couldn't hold him down.
When Kong Wu opened his mouth and yelled "Ahhh", he revealed his tongueless mouth and his eyes looked different from those of a normal adult.
Hu Long felt a mixture of emotions: pride, loss, joy, resentment...intertwined together.
He no longer needed any evidence, he knew that this was his Baghta.
There will never be another child like this in the world.
"Bagta, I am your father! This is our grassland, your home."
"It was those shameless traitors and the Han Chinese who separated us, father and son!"
Hulong hugged Kongwu's shoulders tightly,
"Bagta, come back with me and I'll tell you what happened."
When Kong Wu heard Hu Long's words, his body movements paused obviously and his eyes were full of confusion.
He paused for a moment.
Hu Long thought his words had worked and was about to let go of Kong Wu.
Kong Wu took advantage of this opportunity to push him away and continued running.
call out--!
A short arrow shot from behind and hit Kong Wu in the back.
Kong Wu was shot by an arrow, ran forward two steps, then his body swayed and fell down.
There is a drug on the arrow.
Not far away, Helian Wuqin was holding a small crossbow hidden in his sleeve, with a sneer on his face:
"You are too soft-hearted. To treat such a disobedient person, you——"
Bang.
A fist rushed towards Helian Wuqin.
The attendant Tiebada stood in front of Helian Wuqin and was hit hard.
The punch came with such force that even with Tiebada blocking it, Helian Wuqin was still knocked back.
Both the master and the servant fell to the ground.
Helian Wuqin was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he looked up, he saw Hulong staring at him with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Hu Long grabbed Helian Wuqin by the collar and said word by word:
"If anything happens to Baghta, I'll tear you to pieces."
