Chapter 90: Undercurrent

On the evening of the third day after Li Xuandu's attack, the old Khan was finally able to speak, and he ordered the kings to return to their palaces, leaving only the Khan to "serve the sick".

The old Khan's decision was unexpected by the kings, but it was also reasonable.

Among the four sons of the old Khan, Mingli Khan had almost broken with the old Khan after saying those words, Yaomu Hu Khan had the support of the Xiao Yan clan, and was the strongest in the royal court, if either of these two people was allowed to stay by the old Khan's side, they would have the opportunity to isolate the old Khan from the outside world, and then the ownership of the Khan's throne and the life and death of the old Khan would be in their hands. And Naijan Khan is the new Khan of the old Khan's favor, if the old Khan keeps him by his side, then it will attract the hostility of Mingli Khan He Yaomu Khan, which is very unfavorable for the lonely Naijan Khan.

Only the Lost Sweet Khan, the weakest in strength, cowardly in temperament, almost no hope of inheriting the throne, and even less likely to take the opportunity to threaten the old Khan, became the most suitable candidate, and only the Lost Sweet Khan could make Mingli Khan He Yaomu Khan reach a compromise and take a step back.

At this moment, the kings are still waiting in the front hall, with different thoughts, only the kings are allowed to wait here, so the kings' retinue and strategists are not around, and they cannot discuss with others, they can only speculate randomly, although they no longer quarrel, but occasionally glance at each other, they can also see what precautions are between each other.

At this moment, the chamberlain and the four clans left the inner hall and conveyed the old Khan's order to the kings who were waiting here. For a moment, the kings' eyes fell on the body of Wagan Khan.

The expression on his face was a little stiff, his brows furrowed even deeper, he subconsciously turned his head sideways, looking at Mingli Khan and Yaomu Khan, the expression on his face became more and more stiff.

In the end, Wagan Khan didn't say anything, just sighed softly, and followed the chamberlain to the apse.

As soon as Ngan Khan left, Yaomu Khan sneered and raised his chin to look at Mingli Khan, undisguised his provocation.

Mingli Khan is not young, he has already entered the ranks of the old man, although he and Yaomu Khan are brothers, but according to age, the two are not a generation at all, for Yaomu Khan's provocation, Mingli Khan did not care, and after exchanging a look with Irihan, he turned around and left directly.

Seeing that Mingli Khan did not match the stubble, the medicine wood Khan also left. As for the clans, they will not walk with the kings, and they will stay in the old khan's golden horde for a while.

When the kings returned to their respective palaces, they consulted with their advisers and confidants, and sent men to keep an eye on the movements of the Golden Horde, waiting for news from the body of the Khan of Shogan.

But to everyone's surprise, until nightfall, the Khan of Wagan was not seen leaving the old Khan's golden horde.

The mood of the kings became solemn, and everyone knew that the old Khan's attitude towards the Dangan Khan was very bad, and it could even be said that he hated it, and the old Khan did not like the cowardice of the Dangan Khan, and felt that he was not like a Golden Horde, but like a weak Central Plains man. Although in the past few years, the old Khan's attitude towards the Igan Khan has changed, but that is because the other two sons are too strong, and the old Khan has to use the Igan Khan to balance one and two, but the old Khan will never pass on the position of the Great Khan to the Igan Khan, at this time, there is no reason to keep the Igan Khan by his side.

The north wind is howling, the clouds are thick and the snow is shaking.

In the post house, Li Xuandu, Ning Yi, and Shi Wuyue each sat on a chair, showing a three-legged trend, and in the middle of the three was a charcoal basin, exuding a warm feeling. When I arrived in the realm of heaven and man, it was already cold and hot, but many habits were still retained, and the clothes would change with the four seasons, and I would not refuse the brazier sent by the post house.

Li Xuandu and Ning Yi's expressions were quite solemn, because the two of them had a premonition that something big would happen in the royal court, and Lao Khan's sudden illness was not a scene played by Lao Khan, then it meant that Lao Khan could not fully control the situation in the royal court, and the current royal court was like a wild horse that was about to get out of control, and it was possible to break free from the reins at any time, because the owner who grabbed the reins was too old.

At this moment, there was a brief commotion outside, and then a tall man was seen entering the room, and behind him were a group of cowardly soldiers and officials of the post house, whose armor was painted with a simple goshawk pattern in gold thread, which meant that they had the duties of the old Khan of the guard, and were the elite of the cowardly Xue army.

The tall man at the head waved his hand, "You guys go out." ”

The soldiers of the cowardly Xue army and the post officials retreated together.

The tall man was dressed all over, his expression was serious, and he said in a rigid tone: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Abe Chi, the third lieutenant of the cowardly Xue Army, and I was ordered by the Emperor Khan to invite the envoy of the Central Plains to go to the Golden Tent to meet the old Khan. ”

Li Xuandu slowly got up from his chair and asked, "Why is it on the orders of the Lost Gan Khan, not the old Khan?"

Abe Chi replied with a straight look: "Because the old Khan is seriously ill, the old Khan appointed the Ngan Khan to be in charge of the defense of the Golden Horde and everything else. ”

Li Xuandu nodded, and asked again, "Can I bring my entourage?"

Abe Chi shook his head and said, "According to the order of the Igan Khan, the envoy can only meet the old Khan alone. ”

This answer did not surprise Li Xuandu, and he finally asked, "Now?"

Abe Chi nodded and said, "Now!"

Li Xuandu turned his head and said to Ning Yi: "You stay here and wait for me, and act when the opportunity arises." ”

Ning Yi nodded slightly and said, "Be careful."

Li Xuandu said to Abechi: "Please lead the way." ”

Abe Chi didn't speak, turned around and walked outside. Li Xuandu followed behind Abe Chi to the outside of the post house, where there was a procession of about 300 people, waving the eagle banner symbolizing the Golden Horde. Then someone brought a horse for Li Xuandu and invited him to get on the horse.

Li Xuandu was not polite, turned over and got on his horse, and then the whole team began to continue in the direction of the Golden Horde.

Because the clouds obscure the moon, the north wind howls, and it is difficult to see. Even if the cavalry at the head held torches, it only illuminated a little area in front of them, and it was so difficult to hurry, from the post house to the royal court, it took half an hour to walk. By the time Li Xuandu arrived at the royal court, it was already ugly.

Li Xuandu rode his horse to look at the Golden Horde that was getting closer and closer, squinted his eyes, and fell into deep thought. Not long after, Li Xuandu entered the scope of the Golden Tent with Abechi, and now the Golden Tent is like half of an iron bucket, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, which is impermeable. Even if Abechi, the third lieutenant of the cowardly Xue Army, personally led people to see Lao Khan, he still couldn't avoid careful investigation, which wasted a lot of time, and by the time Li Xuandu saw Naijan Khan, more than half an hour had passed.

It was in this place that Li Xuandu met in the old Khan's study, which was located between the outer hall and the dormitory, and it was in this place that Li Xuandu first met the old Khan. At that time, Lao Khan was lying on a chaise longue with a shaman standing beside him. But now there is no shaman, the leaves on the recliner are empty, and the Dangan Khan sits directly on the chair behind the old Khan's bookcase, revealing a bit of majesty.

Abe Chi retreated after sending Li Xuandu to the door, so at this time, there were only two people, Zangan Khan and Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu opened his mouth and asked, "The Khan said that the old Khan wanted to see me, so he ordered someone to invite me." Dare to ask Wagan Khan, where is the old Khan?"

Sugaran Khan smiled, a little more calm than usual, and his brows were soothed, as if he had changed a person, could this be the magic of power, it was more effective than any panacea. "The envoy does not need to be in a hurry, presumably the envoy has heard that the old khan is seriously ill. Although there is a national teacher to take action, the old Khan has been killed, but the old Khan is old after all, and his health is not as good as before, and he still has some minor problems. At this time, the old Khan had just taken medicine and had already fallen asleep, and the messenger couldn't bear to disturb a sick old man, right? ”

Li Xuandu nodded.

Pointing to the embroidered pier that had been prepared, he said, "The messenger does not need to be restrained, please take a seat." I remember when the envoy first came to the royal court, he came to visit me, but I refused, so I don't know why the envoy wanted to see me, and why he fell to the ground, can the messenger tell me now?"
