When Li Xuandu woke up from his meditation, it was already full of stars, and without him opening his mouth to ask, Shi Wuyue had already taken the initiative to open his pocket watch to tell the time, "It just happened to be the right time." ”

Li Xuandu nodded, got up and said, "Let's go see Xiao Yan." ”

The sub-hour is the end of the day and the beginning of a new one. Xiao Yan did not feel the slightest sleep, sat alone on the chair, dressed neatly, supported his forehead with his hands, and quietly listened to all kinds of news from the maids.

The news of the attack on the envoys of the Central Plains has spread all over the royal court, and the large holes in the city walls, the smashed city gate towers, and the razed areas cannot be hidden, and it is not a secret that the person who shot it is Iri Khan. Irihan's movements were so fast that the dust had already settled before the Xiao Yan clan had time to arrange various follow-up matters. However, to the surprise of Xiao Yan, this Central Plains envoy did not die, not only did not die, but also hit Yili Khan hard, according to the news from the Golden Horde, when Yili Khan went to meet the old Khan, he was lame on one leg, and the treasure armor was also full of sword marks and had been shattered, which made Xiao Yan have to re-examine the power of the Central Plains envoy, after all, this is the Golden Horde's court, and the Central Plains envoy still has such a strong strength, which means that the strength of the Central Plains envoy in the Central Plains is even stronger and larger.

Yu Niang hurriedly walked in and reported: "Ili Khan has left the Golden Horde, but I don't know what he said to Old Khan." ”

Xiao Yan asked, "How is Old Khan's mood?"

Yu Niang replied, "It's not much different from usual. ”

"Old fox. Xiao Yan couldn't help but scold, "They must have reached some agreement." ”

Then Xiao Yan waved his hand to let Yu Niang retreat, and continued to think about how to deal with the current situation and how to deal with it.

If Ili Khan was dismissed from the post of Grand Lieutenant of the Cowardly Xue Army by the Old Khan, then the importance of the Central Plains envoy to the old Khan would be greatly reduced, but in this case, the importance of the Central Plains envoy to her would be greatly increased, and she could take the opportunity to befriend the Central Plains envoy in order to seek an alliance and assistance from the Liaodong side.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "If the Central Plains envoy dies, then Ili Khan will take the initiative to ask the old Khan for his guilt and resign from the official position of the captain of the cowardly Xue army, but the Central Plains envoy is not dead, and the situation becomes complicated." ”

Xiao Yan was not particularly surprised, but smiled, "The messenger is really not dead. ”

As the words fell, Xiao Yan saw a strange young man walk into the hall, compared to Qin Xuance she knew, this young man was older and more mature.

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then understood, "Is this the true face of the envoy?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I deliberately deceived the Yan family before, but I really had to do it as a last resort, and I hope the Yan family will forgive me." ”

Xiao Yan smiled and asked, "Then how should I address the messenger?"

Li Xuandu said: "My surname is Li, and the Yan family can call me Li Xuandu." ”

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, and then said: "It turns out that the messenger is the famous Li Xuandu, Qin Qing's fast son-in-law, no wonder." I've heard your name more than once, but I didn't expect to meet a real person. ”

Li Xuandu said: "The weakness of the guards of the Yan Clan's Palace is really beyond my expectations, it seems that most of the people have been transferred, because of this, I can successfully sneak into the Yan Clan's Palace, I don't know where the Yan Clan sent them?"

Xiao Yan did not answer this question, but looked at a man and a woman behind Li Xuandu and asked, "Are these the envoy's subordinates?

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yan exclaimed: "Those who can fight with Iri Khan are great warriors. ”

Ning Yi's face was expressionless, while Shi Wuyue kept staring at this beautiful woman, wanting to find out the traces left by Song Zheng from her. But it's a pity that Shi Wuyue was disappointed, there was no trace of Song Zheng on this woman, indicating that her guess was wrong, which made her doubt Li Xuandu's inference, maybe Song Zheng was not in the Golden Tent at all, maybe Song Zheng was already dead.

For Shi Wuyue's scrutiny, Xiao Yanshi frowned slightly, a little displeased, but she didn't show it on her face, fortunately, Shi Wuyue quickly lost news of Xiao Yan, and instead began to look at the various furnishings around.

Li Xuan didn't interfere too much with Shi Wuyue's rude behavior, and he said to Xiao Yan: "I came to see the Yan clan tonight because I want to form an alliance with the Yan clan. ”

Xiao Yan chuckled, "We've always been allies. ”

Li Xuandu continued: "As a matter of sincerity, I can inform the Yan clan of the new Khan candidate in the old Khan's mind, which is the Naijan Khan. ”

"Old Khan told you? It seems that Old Khan really intends to form an alliance with Liaodong. Xiao Yan was not so surprised, and said, "But now it seems that the old Khan is about to change his mind. ”

"Maybe. Li Xuandu said: "Ili Khan and Mingli Khan have torn their faces, for the Yan clan, Ili Khan is not the key, Naijan Khan is not the key, the key is the cowardly Xue army, whoever controls the cowardly Xue army, who will control the royal court, if Ili Khan loses the position of the Grand Captain, then the most powerful in the Cowardly Xue Army is the deputy Grand Lieutenant Ce Ling, and the old Khan intends to let Nai Thorn Khan marry Ce Ling's daughter." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face finally showed a solemn look - she didn't know the news.

Li Xuandu asked, "If Old Khan dies, will Yaomu Khan be able to get the allegiance of the cowardly Xue army?"

Hear this

A question, Xiao Yan suppressed all his smiles and said: "The cowardly Xue army is divided into internal and external, part of it is responsible for the expedition, and part of it is responsible for defending the royal court, Ili Khan is in charge of the expedition part, and Ce Ling is in charge of the part of the Gongwei royal court. The old Khan's idea was good, and he helped Naija Khan to control the royal court through Celing, but there was a premise that the cowardly Xue army that was out on the expedition should also support the new Khan, otherwise Ili Khan would lead the army back to the royal court, and the victory or defeat would be unpredictable only with the defenders of the royal court. Therefore, it is imperative to take away the post of the Grand Lieutenant of the Iri Khan. ”

Li Xuandu said, "The Yan clan did not answer my question, whether it is possible for Yaomu Huhan to master the cowardly Xue army. ”

Xiao Yan said: "It is possible that the old Khan used the medicine wood Khan as a shield to protect the Naijian Khan, so that there would be two results. The first result was to draw Mingli Khan's attention to Yaomu Khan and ignore Naija Khan, thus protecting Naishu Khan. The second result is that Old Khan's move also deceived everyone. Now I know that Yaomu Khan is not a candidate for the new Khan, and the messenger also knows that the Yamu Khan is not a candidate for the new Khan, but others don't know, in the eyes of many Nayans, Yaomu Khan is the most favored son of the old Khan, the youngest son of the Shouzao, and the most likely candidate to become the new Khan, and the Naimu Khan is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son, and the maternal family is even less prominent, if the old Khan suddenly dies before he has time to reveal the mystery of the new Khan, then who would believe that Naimu Khan is the new Khan that the old Khan fancies? Everyone will only logically support the Khan of Yaomu Khan. ”

Li Xuandu said: "There is another premise for supporting Yaomu Khan, that is, to get rid of Mingli Khan. ”

Xiao Yan asked, "Does the envoy have the ability to kill Mingli Khan?"

Li Xuandu said: "I believe that even without me, the Yan family will have a way." ”

Xiao Yan smiled and said noncommittally, "What does the envoy plan to do?"

Li Xuandu said: "I want to see Old Khan." ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "Is the envoy planning to complain to the old Khan?"

Li Xuandu said: "I want to know the attitude of the old Khan." ”

Xiao Yan asked: "Isn't the envoy afraid that the old Khan has changed his mind? Just wait for the envoy to take the initiative to send it to the door, and let the national teacher directly take down the envoy." ”

Li Xuandu said: "If the old Khan wants to take me down, even if I hide in the palace of the Yan clan, I will not be able to escape." ”

The little one asked, "What does the messenger want me to do?"

Li Xuandu said: "As the mistress of the royal court, the Yan clan must have a way to send me into the golden tent and get the old khan to agree to meet me again." ”

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will send the envoy to see the old Khan, hoping that the envoy has not guessed the old Khan's intentions and can return safely." ”
