Taiping Inn
Chapter 87 Night Talk
When Li Xuandu woke up from his meditation, the sky was already full of stars. He didn't need to ask, Shi Wuyue had already opened his pocket watch and told the time, "It's exactly midnight."
Li Xuandu nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go see Xiao Yanshi."
Zi Shi is the end of the day and the beginning of a new day. Xiao Yanshi was not sleepy at all. She sat alone on the chair, dressed neatly, propped up her forehead with her hand, and listened quietly to the various news from the maids.
The news of the Central Plains envoy being attacked had spread throughout the royal court. The big hole in the city wall, the smashed city gate tower, and the area razed to the ground could not be concealed, and it was no secret that the person who attacked was Ili Khan. Ili Khan's actions were so fast that Xiao Yanshi had not had time to arrange various follow-up matters before the dust settled. However, to Xiao Yanshi's surprise, the Central Plains envoy was not dead. Not only was he not dead, but he also severely injured Ili Khan. According to the news from the Golden Horde eunuchs, Ili Khan was limping when he went to see the old Khan. The armor was full of sword marks and was already in pieces. This forced Xiao Yanshi to re-examine the power of the Central Plains envoy. After all, this is the Golden Horde Royal Court. The Central Plains envoy still has such a strong strength, which means that the Central Plains envoy's strength 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 the old Khan."
Xiao Yanshi asked: "How is the old Khan's mood?"
Yu Niang replied: "Not much different from usual."
"Old fox." Xiao Yanshi couldn't help but curse, "They must have reached some agreement."
Then Xiao Yanshi waved her hand to let Yu Niang retreat, and continued to think about how to deal with the current situation and the countermeasures.
If Ili Khan was dismissed from his post as the Grand Commandant of the Qiexue Army by the old Khan, the importance of the Central Plains envoy to the old Khan would be greatly reduced. In this case, the importance of the Central Plains envoy to her would be greatly increased. She could take the opportunity to befriend the Central Plains envoy in order to seek an alliance and assistance from Liaodong.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "If the Central Plains envoy died, then Ili Khan would take the initiative to apologize to the old Khan and resign from the post of the Grand Commandant of the Qiexue Army, but the Central Plains envoy is not dead, then the situation becomes complicated."
Xiao Yanshi was not particularly surprised, but laughed, "The envoy is not dead."
After the voice fell, Xiao Yanshi saw a strange young man walking into the hall. Compared with Qin Xuance, whom she knew, this young man was older and more mature.
Xiao Yanshi was slightly startled, then understood, "Is this the true face of the envoy?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I had intentionally deceived Yanshi before, but I had to do so. I hope Yanshi will forgive me." Xiao Yanshi smiled and asked, "Then how should I call the envoy?"
Li Xuandu said, "My last name is Li, Yanshi can call me Li Xuandu."
Xiao Yanshi was slightly surprised, then said, "So the envoy is the famous Li Xuandu, Qin Qing's son-in-law, no wonder. I have heard of your name more than once, but I didn't expect to see the real person."
Li Xuandu said, "The guards of Yanshi's palace are so weak. It was beyond my expectation. It seemed that most of the people had been withdrawn. That was why I was able to sneak into the palace of Yanshi. I wonder where Yanshi sent them? "
Little Yanshi did not answer this question, but looked at the man and woman behind Li Xuandu and asked, "Are these the subordinates of the envoy? They helped the envoy escape the interception of Ili Khan?"
Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Yes."
Little Yanshi praised, "Those who can fight with Ili Khan are all great warriors."
Ning Yi had a blank expression on his face, while Shi Wuyue kept staring at this beautiful woman, trying to find traces of Song Zheng from her. Unfortunately, Shi Wuyue was disappointed. There was no trace of Song Zheng on this woman, which meant that her guess was wrong. This made her doubt Li Xuandu's inference. Maybe Song Zheng was not in the Golden Tent at all, or maybe Song Zheng had died long ago.
In response to Shi Wuyue's scrutiny, Xiao Yanshi frowned slightly, a little unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. Fortunately, Shi Wuyue soon lost contact with Xiao Yanshi and began to look at the various furnishings around.
Li Xuandu didn't interfere too much with Shi Wuyue's rude behavior. He said to Xiao Yanshi: "I came to see Yanshi tonight because I want to form an alliance with Yanshi."
Xiao Yanshi chuckled, "We have always been allies."
Li Xuandu continued: "As a sign of sincerity, I can tell Yanshi the candidate for the new Khan in the old Khan's mind, which is Naiqi Khan."
"The old Khan told you? It seems that the old Khan really intends to form an alliance with Liaodong." Xiao Yanshi was not surprised and said: "But now the old Khan seems to change his mind. "Maybe." Li Xuandu said, "Ili Khan and Mingli Khan have already torn their faces apart. For Yanshi, Ili Khan is not the key, and Naiqi Khan is not the key either. The key lies in the Qiexue Army. Whoever controls the Qiexue Army controls the royal court. If Ili Khan loses his position as the Grand Commandant, then the most powerful person in the Qiexue Army is the Deputy Grand Commandant Celing, and the old Khan intends to let Naiqi Khan marry Celing's daughter. "Hearing this, Xiao Yanshi's face finally showed a solemn look - she didn't know this news. Li Xuandu asked, "If the old Khan dies, can Yaomuhu Khan get the loyalty of the Qiexue Army?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Yanshi stopped smiling and said, "The Qiexue Army is divided into internal and external forces. One part is responsible for going on expeditions, and the other part is responsible for guarding the royal court. Ili Khan controls the expedition part, and Ce Ling controls the guarding part. Now it seems that the old Khan intends to hand over the Qiexue Army that guards the royal court to Naiqi Khan. The old Khan's idea is good, to help Naiqi Khan control the royal court through Ce Ling, but there is a prerequisite, the Qiexue Army that is going on expeditions must also support the new Khan, otherwise Ili Khan will lead the army back to the royal court, and the outcome will be unpredictable with only the guards of the royal court. So it is imperative to take away Ili Khan's real position as the Grand Commandant."
Li Xuandu said; "Yanshi did not answer my question. The question is whether Yaomuhu Khan has the possibility to control the Qiexue Army. "
Xiao Yanshi said: "It is possible. The old Khan used Yaomuhu Khan as a shield to protect Naiqi Khan, which produced two results. The first result was to attract Mingli Khan's attention to Yaomuhu Khan, while ignoring Naiqi Khan, thus protecting Naiqi Khan. The second result is that the old Khan's move also deceived everyone. Now I know that Yaomuhu Khan is not the candidate for the new Khan, and the envoy also knows that Yaomuhu Khan is not the candidate for the new Khan, but others don't know. In the eyes of many Nayans, Yaomuhu Khan is the old Khan's most beloved son, the youngest son who guards the stove, and the most likely candidate to become the new Khan, while Naiqi Khan is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son. The son is not the eldest son, nor is he the youngest son. His mother's family is not prominent. If the old Khan dies suddenly before he can reveal the mystery of the new Khan, who will believe that Naiqi Khan is the new Khan that the old Khan has chosen? Everyone will naturally support Yaomuhu Khan. "
Li Xuandu said: "There is another premise for supporting Yaomuhu Khan, that is, to get rid of Mingli Khan."
Xiao Yanshi asked: "Does the envoy have the ability to kill Mingli Khan?"
Li Xuandu said: "I believe that even if I am not there, Yanshi will have a way."
Xiao Yanshi smiled and said without comment: "What does the envoy intend to do?"
Li Xuandu said: "I want to see the old Khan."
Xiao Yanshi smiled and said: "Does the envoy intend to complain to the old Khan?"
Li Xuandu said: "I want to know the attitude of the old Khan."
Xiao Yanshi asked: "Isn't the envoy afraid that the old Khan has changed his mind? Just wait for the envoy to come to the door, and let the national teacher take the envoy directly."
Li Xuandu said: "If the old Khan wants to take me down, even if I hide in Yanshi's palace, I can't escape."
Xiao Yanshi asked again: "What does the envoy want me to do?"
Li Xuandu said: "As the mistress of the royal court, Yanshi must have a way to send me into the Golden Tent and let the old Khan agree to meet me again."
Xiao Yanshi pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will send the envoy to see the old Khan. I hope the envoy has not guessed the old Khan's intentions wrongly and can return safely."
