The little man was indeed the woman who knew the old khan best, and the old khan's guilt didn't last long—he only stayed at the big khan for half an hour before he drove away, not even taking a sip of mare's milk wine, let alone the night.

Then the chamberlain, who had already been bribed, chose a suitable time and euphemistically mentioned to the old Khan the request of the Central Plains envoy to see. Old Khan only thought about it for a moment, and then agreed. These are all expected by Xiao Yan, in her words, although Lao Khan is old, he is not old and confused, he will specially choose a day to concentrate on some miscellaneous matters, and the national teacher will also recover on this day. For Lao Khan, there is only one thing to do, that is, to extend his life, to meet his wife Da Yan and meet with the envoy of the Central Plains, all of which are within the scope of miscellaneous matters.

Because he went to Liaodong to meet Zhao Zhengyi and was the errand of the month's parting, he was summoned together to meet the month's parting. Under the leadership of Yue Li, Li Xuandu left the palace of the Xiao Yan clan and went to the periphery of the old Khan's golden horde, in the palace of the Yan clan, the palace of the Xiao Yan clan was the closest to the old Khan's golden horde, almost just left the palace of the Xiao Yan clan, and entered the scope of the old Khan's golden horde, which is a bit of a front and back yard.

The process of entering the Golden Tent of the Old Khan was much simpler than Li Xuandu expected, although he passed through three checkpoints on the way, which were guarded by guards of different costumes and armor, and every time he passed the pass, the leader had to be replaced, but no one doubted him, obviously his Central Plains court clothes and the moon parting became the best pass, and finally waited for the summons of the old Khan in a place similar to a porter.

Li Xuandu silently calculated the time with his pulse and heartbeat, and after about an hour, an attendant finally came to summon the two to meet him. Yue Libei was quite familiar with this chamberlain, and as he spoke, he stuffed a gem into the chamberlain's hand. The chamberlain quietly accepted it and led the way in front. Li Xuan could conclude that this chamberlain should be someone from Xiao Yan's side. Whether it is the Central Plains or the grassland, some of the world's conditions are the same, these servants follow the emperor every day, and their understanding of the emperor is probably deeper than that of the emperor's wives and concubines and children, and they can inadvertently influence the emperor's thoughts and decisions, so even if they are high-powered princes and ministers, they must deliberately win over these lowly people. Of course, in the Great Wei Imperial Court, the top chamberlain can no longer be regarded as a lowly person, and the chief eunuch of the celebrant is known as the "internal minister", and the cabinet chief assistant who is known as the "foreign minister" is in court.

Under the guidance of the inner servant, Li Xuandu and Yue parted and came to a golden palace, which was built in an unknown material, which was not inferior to the Tai Holy Temple that Li Xuandu had seen in the ghost country on the ground. There were no heavy guards around the palace, a total of 100 guards, and standing in front of the palace gate was a two-sideburn snow

The old man of white.

Yue Li's parting whispered to Li Xuandu beside him: "There are eleven powerful generals in the Xue Army, one lieutenant and ten lieutenants. And there is a difference in the ranking between the ten captains, this is the first lieutenant among the ten lieutenants, second only to the deputy lieutenant Ce Ling, the deputy lieutenant of the capital commander Iri Khan, and has the duties of the old Khan. ”

As soon as the words of Yue's parting fell, he saw Ce Ling walking down the steps in front of the palace and coming to the three of them. He first nodded to each other, then moved his gaze to Yue Farewell and Li Xuandu behind the inner attendant, and said, "Yue Farewell Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, is this the messenger you brought back from Liaodong?"

The division of titles in the Central Plains is complicated, with a total of seven titles, such as prince, prince of the county, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, while the golden horde is much simpler, only divided into three classes: Khan, also first Nayan, and Nayan. Each of the eleven cowardly captains of the Xue army has a title, the highest Ili Khan needless to say, and Celing, who is second only to Ili Khan, has the title of Ye Xian Nayan, second only to the kings with golden blood.

Yue's parting was just that Yan, whether it was power or status, or the trust of the old Khan, it was far inferior to Ce Ling, so he could only say respectfully: "Returning to the deputy captain, yes." ”

Ce Ling looked at Li Xuandu and said, "I heard that the envoy won and was late, that kid is really amazing. ”

Li Xuan was neither humble nor arrogant: "Don't dare to be." ”

Ce Ling glanced at Li Xuandu again and then retracted his gaze and looked at the sky above him, "I wonder if this old guy of mine has the honor of competing with the envoy once?"

Li Xuandu looked at the golden steps not far away and said, "I'm not the opponent of the deputy captain. ”

Ce Ling grinned and showed a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, and said: "The people of the Central Plains are always modest, and they obviously have ten percent ability, but they also deliberately say that they are seventy percent, and it seems that the envoy is also contaminated with this vice." ”

Li Xuan didn't speak, and seemed to acquiesce to this statement.

Ce Ling didn't let go of Li Xuandu easily, and asked again, "I heard that the envoy is a Jianghu person?"

Li Xuandu said: "It used to be." ”

Ce Ling said: "I have also heard of the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, chic and happy, free, why did the envoy give up his freedom and put himself in the cage of the temple? Is it just because of the identity of a child of the Qin family?"

Li Xuandu said: "There is a saying in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, called: 'People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.'" In fact, the rivers and lakes are not comfortable, and there is no chic pleasure at all, it is all superficial work. Everyone says that people in the rivers and lakes are happy to be enmity, but can they really be happy with enmity? I don't think necessarily, the rules of the rivers and lakes are an invisible line, and this line determines who can be killed and who cannot be killed

For this person, he once lost his cultivation, and any person could kill him, and his enemies were countless, but no one dared to kill him. Why? Because he has a background, his relatives are important people in the rivers and lakes, and he can both protect him and avenge him. And after he re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, he soon jumped to a high position, which is a height that many people in the rivers and lakes can hardly reach in a lifetime, but it only took him two years, why? Because he has an extremely broad network, and he also has the identity of Xuanhe brought to him by his elders, so he can trade with all kinds of big people, join forces, take what they need, and add a little luck, which has achieved his status today. From this point of view, what is the difference between rivers and lakes and temples?"

Ce Ling listened very carefully, and after listening, he nodded in agreement: "The envoy's words are very reasonable. I have heard of Li Xuandu, who once almost became Zhang Suqing's son-in-law, and now he wants to be Qin Qing's son-in-law; he once almost became the sect master of the Qingwei Sect, and now he is the sect master of the Taiping Sect. The context is very clear, the former provides him with status, identity, and connections, coupled with his own ability, the latter becomes a matter of course, this so-called rivers and lakes are really not interesting. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Young people always imagine the rivers and lakes to be romantic, but for the vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes, this is a place to eat mixed rice. Of course, for a very small number of top Jianghu people, this is a vanity fair, fighting for power and profit, to realize their own ambitions, they are also uncomfortable, the Great Heavenly Master was broken by the Earth Master, and the Earth Master was driven out of Beibi Mountain by the Great Heavenly Master, because of these two things, the second person in their respective camps after these two people was dissatisfied, they were called Zhang Jingshen and Wang Tianxiao, and they also took their own actions, because of various reasons, the Great Heavenly Master and the Earth Master not only could not be punished, but also appeased. From this point of view, these two top Jianghu people are not to say that they are happy and happy, and they are even a little aggrieved. Of course, it's possible that they're having fun."

Ce Ling said: "These people mentioned by the envoy are all big people in the Central Plains. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "It can even affect the existence of the Central Plains Emperor." Today's Central Plains is not like the grassland, in the grassland, the old Khan is the undoubted emperor, but in the Central Plains, the young emperor is just a symbol, young people like me are just pawns, and it is the old guys who really decide the situation. ”

"Old fellow?" Ce Ling couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xuandu said: "Yes, just like the old guys like the deputy lieutenant and Mingli Khan. ”

When Li Xuandu was talking to Ce Ling, the chamberlain stood next to him and didn't say a word, it seemed that it was not the old Khan waiting for the Central Plains envoy to meet him, but the Central Plains envoy waiting for the old Khan to come out to greet him.
