The palace of your Yan clan is very special, although the people in the Golden Tent do not pay attention to the defense of men and women, but the faces of the men are not rash to visit a Yan clan. On the contrary, the women's faces and the ladies did not have such restrictions. Yue Parting was raised by Xiao Yan's family, and she was considered an adopted daughter, so it was very reasonable to go to meet her adoptive mother, but now that the royal court knew that the Central Plains envoy lived in her mansion, he could not act rashly, so he could only send someone.

Since the last time Yaomu Hu Khan wanted to kill Yue Leave, there was a knot between Yue Parting and Yao Mu Hu Khan, in order to appease Yue Parting, and in order to win Li Xuandu's trust, Xiao Yan sent one of his personal maids, named Yue Niang, to act as the escort of Yue Parting. It was inconvenient for the two to meet at this time, so Yueniang was responsible for delivering the news.

Soon, Yueniang brought the news of Xiao Yan's family.

The old Khan had preliminarily agreed to meet with the envoys of the Central Plains, but the specific details had not yet been determined. After all, Old Khan is very busy now, so busy that he has no leisure time, so he can only find time to meet with Li Xuandu. The reason is simple, the old Khan is busy seeking immortality.

During the reign of Sejong, there was a Duanqing prince, who was proficient in law, music, dance, arithmetic, astronomical calendar, especially good at making musical instruments, known as the "sage of law", and once made a limerick poem called "Ten Insufficiencies", which said: "I am busy all day long just for hunger, so I have to have food and clothes." Put Aya Luo on her body, and look up and think the house is low. built tall buildings and mansions, but there were few beautiful wives in front of the bed. The beautiful wives and concubines are all married, and they are worried that they will not have a horse to ride when they go out. Buy the money to buy the high-headed horse, and follow the horse before and after. The family recruited dozens of them, and they were bullied because they were rich and powerless. Yiquan reached the county position, and said that the official was small and low. As soon as you climb to the old position, you will be enthroned every day. One day, he sat in the south and wanted the gods to play chess. Lu Zu played chess with him, and asked where the ladder was. The ladder to the sky did not sit down, and the king of Hades came to urge him. If it weren't for this person's big limit, it would be too low to go up to the sky. ”

This limerick poem was written during the reign of King Sejong, and as we all know, Emperor Sejong worshiped the Tao and did not go to the court for 20 years, did not listen to the government, and retreated to the mystical cultivation in order to live forever. The second half of the poem is a satire of Sejong, but this is also the trap of the emperors of the past dynasties, who were ambitious when they were young and did not believe in ghosts and gods, but when they were old, they could not let go of the power in their hands, and they were afraid of the approach of death, so they lost their sense of proportion in the pursuit of immortality, and even went crazy about it.

When the old Khan was young, he was determined to be ashamed, and repeatedly led his army south, and even took the lead in killing the enemy, but when his subordinates admonished, he said: "Is there an immortal person in the world?" But now, the old Khan has forgotten most of these words, he may not believe that someone can make him immortal, but he must believe that someone can make him live longer and live a few more years. For a dying man,

Even if it's one more day, it's good.

Of course, this may also be the reason why the old Khan refused to die may not be because of his greed for power, but because the new Khan has an unstable foothold, and he is willing to leave after supporting the new Khan to take over the throne.

Whatever the possibility, the result is the same, that is, the old Khan is not willing to die and wants to live longer.

As for who has the ability to prolong the life of the old Khan, it is naturally the national teacher who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon. In the grassland, there is royal power, there is also divine power, the representative of the royal power is naturally the Khan King, and the representative of the divine right is the national teacher, the prestige of the national teacher in the grassland is extremely high, the power is very great, but the national teacher will not use the power in his hands easily, and even the number of appearances is less than that of the old Khan, so that many people forget that there is still a national teacher living in the royal court to protect the old Khan from external forces. According to Xiao Yan, the national teacher has recently lived in the old Khan's golden tent to "heal the old khan".

During this time, Lao Khan has always claimed that he is sick in bed, so the national teacher is just curing diseases, and according to Xiao Yan's words, Lao Khan was actually injured too much in his early years, and his blood and gas were seriously depleted. But now the situation has changed, and after some adjustment by the national teacher, the old khan has gradually begun to improve.

Hearing this, Li Xuandu already understood that the national teacher must be renewing the life of Lao Khan through some means, and even fruitful, so Lao Khan decided to show up at Xiao Yan's birthday banquet. If it were possible, the old khan would not have forced his face to appear at this time, but he had to do so, he wanted to show his health to the royal courtiers, to reassure and make his loyal courtiers more loyal, to deter those who had dissenting intentions, to prevent them from acting rashly, to put away the fangs and claws that had been exposed, to calm the undercurrents within the royal court, and to stabilize his power. For the old Khan, power and immortality are indispensable, and if you don't have the power in your hands, it's not fun to just live forever.

I have to say that after Xiao Yan received the money, he did do things. This kind of news related to the throne of the Khan is hard to find. Xiao Yan's willingness to inform Li Xuandu of such important information can be regarded as giving great sincerity. However, Xiao Yan's is not completely inorganic, if Lao Khan continues to be seriously ill, she will naturally not leak a single bit, but since Lao Khan is starting to improve, it will be a pity to keep this news a little tasteless, it is better to be a favor.

Li Xuandu now finally figured out the general context of the internal struggle in the royal court, and the only thing that was unclear was the new Khan candidate chosen by the old Khan, and what role the people of the Wudao Sect played in the royal court.

But none of that has anything to do with it

In today's world, it is difficult to build a house, so it is difficult to achieve peace, but it is much easier to destroy a house. In Dawei, Li Xuan is the one who builds the house, and the Wudao Sect is the one who destroys the house, so Li Xuandu is struggling, and now he is in the Golden Horde, if the Wudao Sect wants to be a pastemaker, Li Xuan doesn't mind trying to change places, if the Wudao Sect also wants to destroy the house of the Golden Horde, it is like-minded. Whatever the case is, Li Xuan is happy to see it happen.

I really want to come to something, just as Li Xuandu listened to Yueniang's narration of the various news transmitted by Xiao Yan's clan, a guard reported to Yue's parting, "There is a Central Plains person who claims to be Huangfu Yuxiu outside, asking to see the envoy. ”

Yue parted and looked at Li Xuandu and asked for his opinion. Li Xuandu motioned for Yueniang to step back and said, "Let him come to see me." ”

Yueniang got the order of Xiao Yan's family, and she was very deferential to this Central Plains envoy, and immediately retreated, leaving only Li Xuandu and Yue Li. Not long after, Huangfu Yuxiu came to the study of Yue Parting alone, under the guidance of the attendants.

"Accompanied by beautiful women, Mr. Li is so blessed. Huangfu Yuxiu's gaze swept over the moon parting, and teased in the tone of an old friend, as if the two were old friends who had known each other for many years.

Li Xuandu said: "First the Extreme Heavenly King, and then the Emperor Fu Sect Master, this is the first soldier and then the salute?"

Huangfu Yuxiu said calmly: "It can be said that if you want to sit down and talk, the premise is that you can stand up and fight, if you don't have the strength to fight back, there is no need to talk, you can only be slaughtered." ”

Li Xuandu did not deny Huangfu Yuxiu's statement, and asked, "The Huangfu Sect Master came here to honor the order of the Holy Monarch?"

Huangfu Yuxiu nodded.

Li Xuandu asked again: "What is the intention of the Emperor Fu Sect Master, is it to threaten me, or does he want to join forces with me?" ”

Huangfu Yuxiu did not hesitate and said: "Naturally, it is a joint effort, after all, the 'Great Grandmaster' is in the hands of Mr. Li. ”

Li Xuan was noncommittal and said: "I have met Xiao Yan, and she taught me a truth, the cooperation between strangers should start with sincerity, let's talk about it, what kind of sincerity can the Emperor Fu Sect Master give." ”

Huangfu Yuxiu said: "It depends on what Mr. Li wants?"

Li Xuandu said: "I want to know what happened before Song Zheng disappeared. ”

A smile appeared on Huangfu Yuxiu's face, because not long ago, the Extreme Heavenly King had already informed him of what happened back then, so he repeated what the Extreme Heavenly King said to Li Xuandu as it was.

After Li Xuandu listened, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Emperor Fu Sect Master came with sincerity, I have no reason to refuse. ”
