Chapter Seventy-One: Identity

Whether it is a sect or a family, they usually typeset according to their generation, such as Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Jingshen are both "Jing" characters, and Zhang Luanshan, Zhang Yueshan, Zhang Daishan, Zhang Feishan, etc. all belong to the "mountain" generation. Li Xuandu and others were supposed to be the "Ru" generation, but Li Daoxu did not choose a name according to the rules out of some kind of expectation, just as Li Xuandu himself said, what is Xuandu Purple Mansion? That is the ancestral residence of Taishang Dao. How to get there? Ascend to immortality. It can be seen that Li Daoxu thought or hoped that Li Xuandu would have a long life many years ago. I don't know how much earlier than Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui.

The three brothers of the Qin family all belong to the "Dao" generation, Qin Qing's real name is Qin Daozheng, but it is very old, and few people mention this name now. Old Khan actually knew this name, obviously he had a deep understanding of the Qin family, and even for so many years, he had been paying attention to the Qin family in Liaodong, so it was difficult for Qin Xuance who suddenly appeared to make him suspicious, especially Qin Xuance was still armed with high martial arts, not a mediocre person.

For an emperor, sometimes suspicion is sufficient, and too much evidence is not needed.

Li Xuandu fell silent.

Old Khan jerked up his voice, "Tell me your real name." ”

Li Xuandu suddenly discovered that power could not be seen or touched, but it did exist, and the power of an emperor was like the cultivation of an immortal, which could be pressed on him as if it were substance. Just like when he received the promise of supporting him from the Great Heavenly Master to become the sect master of the Taiping Sect, it was clear that there was nothing, but it really affected him and caused many subtle changes in his mood.

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Xuandu." ”

The majesty and joy on Old Khan's face dissipated, he returned to gentleness, and his tone became softer, "Li Xuandu, I have heard of you, the new son-in-law of the Qin family, the old son-in-law of Zhang Suqing. ”

Although it is not the first time to hear such a statement, Li Xuandu still refutes, "I didn't expect Lao Khan to know Zhang Xiang, but I am not Zhang Xiang's son-in-law." At that time, there was indeed some affection between me and Miss Zhang, but it was never broken, and there was no such thing as marriage or marriage, and Miss Zhang was innocent until she died. Now that the Yiren has passed away, if I say anything about Zhang Xiang's son-in-law, it is too shameless to accuse people of innocence. ”

Old Khan said with a smile: "Of course I know Zhang Suqing, you Central Plains saying is that knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, how can I not know my opponent? From Emperor Mingyong to Emperor Wude, and then to Zhang Suqing, the opponents have changed one after another, and I have always stood tall." As for whether you are Zhang Suqing's son-in-law, this is an insignificant trivial matter. I know that you Central Plains people attach great importance to honor and honor, and you value the dead, so it's not right. However, you did not deny that you are the new son-in-law of the Qin family, it seems that it is true. ”

Li Xuandu said

"Yes, although I haven't married, I've already made a marriage." ”

Lao Khan waved his hand, and the shaman standing on the side immediately helped Lao Khan lift the blanket covering his body, and it could be seen that Lao Khan was wearing the ordinary civilian clothes of a golden horde, without deliberately showing his status. For an emperor who has been in power for many years, he has done what he wants, he does not have to rigidly abide by various rules, nor does he have to hollow out his mind to use various methods to show his imperial identity, which is the envy of young emperors. Of course, the old emperor also has the difficulties of the old emperor, for example, those young and strong sons, at this point, it is the young emperor who has the advantage.

Old Khan said: "In today's world, why should women be dependent on men? Because women's strength is inherently inferior to that of men, and it is men who fight on the battlefield, and men naturally dominate everything. Just like the war between the Central Plains and the grassland, a stronger family naturally has a greater right to speak. So whether it is a country or a family, in most cases, it is men who support the door, Qin Qing is very powerful, but unfortunately he has no son, maybe he also considered the possibility of letting his daughter inherit the family business, but in the end he gave up. In this case, Qin Qing only had two choices, one was to give power to his nephew, and the other was to find a son-in-law who was strong enough, and now it seems that he chose the latter. ”

Li Xuandu said: "I won't get into trouble. ”

Old Khan shook his head with a smile and said, "Those are all formal things. A group of lions led by a sheep is no match for a group of sheep led by a lion, which has been proven countless times by the Central Plains and grasslands. Whether it is population or money and food, the Central Plains will always have the advantage, but most of the time it is the grassland attack, because the leader of the grassland people is a lion, and the leader of the Central Plains people is a sheep. For example, now, although I am old, my sons are all lions on the grassland. On the other hand, in your Central Plains, a child who was raised by a woman, yes, a child, who has not even walked out of that splendid palace, is not it a sheep?"

Li Xuan didn't refute it, maybe Emperor Tianbao would become a full-fledged emperor in many years, but for now, what Old Khan said was not wrong. This is also the reason why Li Xuandu is not optimistic about Emperor Tianbao, not only because of Xie Pheasant, but also because the world does not have so much time to wait for him to mature, of course, the most important reason is that Li Xuan does not think that he should pin his hopes on the wisdom of an emperor.

Old Khan paused for a while, it seemed that his continuous speech made him lose a lot of strength, and he needed to rest for a while, before continuing: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the Central Plains, I know you, you are from a prominent background, you are also capable, and you are still a young man who is not willing to be lonely, whether it is ambition, righteousness, revenge, in short, you want to overthrow the Great Wei court and establish a new court that satisfies you."

Am I right?"

Li Xuandu nodded silently.

Old Khan smiled: "I like young people like you, maybe the old man will look down on glory and wealth, but young people will not, and should not." If a young man says that he has no interest in fame, power, women, status, and no grand goals or aspirations, then this is an excuse for his incompetence. ”

Li Xuandu said: "The old sweat penetrates the hearts of the people. ”

The old Khan was indifferent to Li Xuandu's praise, just as he was indifferent to Li Xuandu's slight disrespect, and asked: "You came to the royal court through the moon parting, and met Yaomu Khan, Mingli Khan, Zixue Bee Khan, and Naijian Khan, who do you think will become the new Great Khan?"

Li Xuandu suddenly felt a little absurd, the dignified grassland Great Khan talked about the future heir with the envoy of the Central Plains who met for the first time, just like the Great Heavenly Master and an evil sect master talked about the future candidate for the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance. But Lao Khan did this, not only to Li Xuandu's surprise, but even the shaman standing next to Lao Khan was extremely shocked. But after thinking about it, this is reasonable, all the grassland people are insiders, but Li Xuandu is an outsider, and he is the most suitable person to talk to.

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment, did not deliberately pretend to be stupid, and said calmly: "I don't know what it is, but I think it's neither Mingli Khan nor Yaomu Khan." ”

Old Khan's face showed a look of appreciation, "If you are the emperor of the Central Plains, then I will take back my previous words." You've already met Xiao Yan and told her about these speculations. ”

Li Xuandu nodded.

Old Khan asked, "What was her reaction?"

Li Xuandu said: "She is not frightened, it seems that she expected it. ”

Old Khan smiled again: "She is a very smart woman, but also a very ambitious woman, she is not satisfied with the position of a Yan clan, she wants to be the queen mother of the Golden Horde, wants to manipulate the royal court in secret, and then control the entire khanate through the royal court." ”

Li Xuandu was surprised: "The Great Khan knows it?"

"I know what you know, and I know what you don't know. The old khan suddenly showed a majesty that made Li Xuandu awe-inspiring, "I am the Great Khan of the Golden Horde, or the Great Khan of the Golden Horde for fifty years, in the past fifty years, I have killed so many people, do I dare not know about the affairs of the royal court? As long as I neglect one thing, I will die without a place to be buried." ”

This kind of majesty can often be seen before the old Khan is seventy years old, and he has not seen it again after the age of seventy.

Li Xuandu finally asked, "What is the Great Khan going to do?"

Old Khan said: "I have said, I will arrange the things after death. ”
