"Mengge, what should we do? Do we really have to heed the warnings of the other three steppe countries, kill King Xiao Ming and his party, and give up the alliance with the Holy Lion Empire? Or ignore the threat of the three steppe countries and form an alliance with the Holy Lion Empire according to the original plan?" Dadamu asked with a frown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This ...... In the current situation, if we forcibly form an alliance with the Holy Lion Empire, then we will inevitably be jointly attacked by the other three grassland countries, and it is difficult to say whether the Holy Lion Empire will come to our rescue. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the old man thought that he should still kill King Xiao Ming according to the meaning of the other three grassland kingdoms and completely break with the Holy Lion Empire. Moreover, our Daur Kingdom is located in the northernmost part of the grassland, and it does not border the Holy Lion Empire at all, even if the Holy Lion Empire wants to take revenge on us, it must first conquer the other three grassland countries. Ghost-eyed demon fox Mengge squinted his eyes and said.
Hearing Monge's suggestion, Dadamu frowned and paced back and forth, not speaking for a long time, trying to think about the stakes.
"No, I can't. If we really kill Song Li according to the requirements of the three steppe countries, then we will completely have a mortal enmity with the Holy Lion Empire. Even if the three steppe countries may temporarily withdraw their troops now, if the three steppe countries raise troops again in the future to besiege our Daur country, who will be able to help us? I have already sent someone to send a secret letter to the Holy Emperor, hoping that the Holy Emperor will send troops to help us solve the current predicament. Wait another day to see if the Holy Lion Empire will come forward and announce an alliance with us. Daadam looked up at Monge and said with a determined expression.
"Yes. Monge glanced at Daadam and nodded.
As the best friend of Dadamu's hair and growing up with Dadamu's bare ass, Monge is well aware of Dadamu's ambitions and dreams.
As the northernmost country of the northern steppe, Daur is also the birthplace of the northern steppe people.
Hundreds of years ago, the country of Daur was not called the country of Daur, but the country of Mengyuan, and the ancestor of Dadamu, Mu Zhenti, once unified the entire northern grass garden and established a powerful Mengyuan Empire.
The Sacred Lion Empire and the Mengyuan Empire were friendly with each other, and the borders were also open to trade, so the people of the northern steppes could easily buy grain and silk clothing, and the people of the Holy Lion Empire could also buy horses, cattle and sheep and other items very cheaply.
During that period of time, it was also the time when the northern grassland people were the most proud and confident.
It was only later that Dadamu's ancestors were full of warm thoughts, only knew enjoyment, and did not want to forge ahead, so the Mengyuan Empire slowly declined, and finally fell apart, becoming the current situation where the four steppe countries coexist.
As a descendant of the royal family of the Mengyuan Empire, when he was only a prince, Dadamu told his best partner Meng Ge more than once that Dadamu must restore the prestige of the Daur Kingdom, rebuild the Mengyuan Empire, and unify the entire northern steppe.
Since he ascended the throne as the emperor of Daur, Dadamu has been diligent and diligent, often staying up all night to review and reciprocate, the purpose is to make Daur quickly strong and fulfill his childhood dream.
Later, Meng Ge, who has the title of Ghost Eye Demon Fox, proposed to form an alliance with the Holy Lion Empire, and even did not hesitate to become a vassal state of the Holy Lion Empire, the purpose was to get more financial resources and weapons from the Holy Lion Empire, and with the help of the power of the Holy Lion Empire, strengthen the Daur Kingdom, and complete the unification of the northern steppe.
Of course, after the Daur Kingdom truly unified the northern steppes and established an empire that could compete with the Holy Lion Empire, the Holy Lion Empire also had to treat the Mengyuan Empire equally.
At that time, who will go to the fact that the country of Tidaur was once a subject of the Holy Lion Empire?
Originally, all this went very smoothly, and the Holy Lion Empire also sent Song Li, the king of Xiao Ming, as an envoy to Daur to sign the alliance, but who would have thought that such a secret matter would be known to everyone so quickly?
Therefore, Dadamu always felt that there was a great conspiracy in this, as if there was a mysterious black hand behind it.
But who is behind this scene, Dadamu doesn't know, and what Dadamu wants to do now is still waiting for the attitude of the Holy Lion Empire.
Inside the Harlem City Inn.
It was already late at night, and there was silence in the entire post house, everyone was asleep, but the lights were still on in Song Li's room.
It has been a whole day since Song Li and his entourage came to Harlem City, the capital of Daur State.
However, on this day, except for a few officials from the Ministry of Rites of Daur, who were in charge of the reception, no one came to Song Li, and the emperor of Daur, Dadamu, did not express the slightest intention to meet Song Li, so Song Li and others were left in the post house and no one cared about them.
Even, Song Li, who had reached the second floor of the Jindan period, had faintly noticed that around the entire post house, there were many officers and soldiers of the Daur State guarding and monitoring all the time. Song Li and his entourage seemed to be under house arrest.
This made Song Li suddenly alert.
"What the hell is going on? Why did Daur Kingdom's attitude towards us suddenly become so indifferent? It seems that we can only know when Li Yun, who went out to investigate, comes back......" Song Li thought secretly, his brows furrowed tightly.
After a long while, a figure flashed outside the inn, and then disappeared like a gust of wind.
"Huh, I think I saw someone enter the inn just now?" whispered a Daur soldier in animal skin, who was in charge of monitoring outside the inn.
"How could it be. You must be dazzled. I had been staring at the situation inside the inn just now, and I didn't find anything. Another soldier scoffed.
"Oh. It seems that I am too tired, so I am dazzled......" said the soldier, rubbing his eyes vigorously.
In Song Li's room, a dark black figure silently crept in, like a ghost, slowly revealing its figure.
It was Li Yun who went out to find out the news.
"How is it?, have you found any news?" Song Li asked with a solemn face.
"I took a few officers and soldiers of the Daur country and tortured them, and learned some news from them that was not very good for us. Li Yun's face was full of solemnity, and he sat down on the chair next to Song Li.
"Oh, not very good news, what bad news, you don't want to sell it. Let's talk about it. Song Li scolded with a smile.
"I don't know why the news of our alliance with Daur this time leaked out. Now, the three steppe states of Chagatai, Kipchak Khanate, and Ilkhanate have joined forces to issue an ultimatum to the Daur State, asking the Daur State to abandon its alliance with the Holy Lion Empire, and to hand over the head of the boss, you. Now, the armies of the three steppe countries have been overwhelmed by the borders, gathered around the Daur country, if the Daur country does not hand over the boss of your head, they will launch an attack on the Daur country in three days. Li Yun said angrily.
"I see. I wonder why the emperor of Daur is so indifferent to us all of a sudden. Song Li said with a smile.
"Boss, aren't you worried at all? Now that we are in the mouth of a tiger, life and death are in the hands of others, how can you still laugh? Boss, have you thought of a way?" Li Yun looked at Song Li suspiciously.
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you go and call Miller first, and we'll discuss it together." Song Li was noncommittal and said with a smile.
"Good. I'll go. Li Yun glanced at Song Li suspiciously, and then walked out quickly.
In fact, Song Li was vaguely aware of the unusual arrival of Daur from the beginning, and had long guessed that this mission to Daur would definitely be very dangerous.
After all, not long ago, Song Li snatched the fire tree silver flower from Duan Tianpeng's hands, and slapped the Holy Emperor in the face, with the Holy Emperor's character of being so retributive, how could it be just like that?
The Holy Emperor knew that Song Li had just snatched the Fire Tree Silver Flower, and he had also killed the elders and disciples of the three major sects of the Holy Lion Empire who had gone to snatch the Fire Tree Silver Flower, completely offending the three major sects, but he still had to send Song Li to envoy Daur at such a sensitive time, obviously wanting to kill people with a knife, so that Song Li would be in the situation of being hunted down by the three major sects.
And the three steppe countries united to exert pressure on the Daur State, wanting to force the Daur State to kill Song Li, I am afraid that it has long been in the calculation of the Holy Emperor.
However, Song Li didn't expect that in fact, there was another person behind the scenes, and that was Zhan Chunlei......
Faced with the situation at this time, Song Li's mind suddenly remembered an allusion he had learned from the history of his previous life.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao made Shanshanguo, at first King Shanshan was very polite to Ban Chao and his party, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and being respectful, but then suddenly changed his attitude and became slack and cold.
Later, Ban Gu found out that it was the Xiongnu who sent envoys to Shanshan to force the king of Shanshan to submit to the Xiongnu.
How similar this is to the situation that Song Li is facing now.
Soon, Miller and Li Yun came to Song Li's room, and the three of them discussed secretly.
The night was silent, there was no wind, even the stars were hiding in the clouds, and the whole city of Harlem was shrouded in darkness.
In the silent night, dozens of black shadows suddenly burst out from the post house where Song Li was, and soon dispersed and disappeared.
"Huh, am I dazzled again? It seems that a large number of people have escaped from the inn just now. Impossible, I must have read it wrong......" A soldier in a beast skin whispered, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Not far from the Song Li Post House, there is an extremely magnificent hall, although it is late at night, but the hall is still brightly lit, from time to time there will be bursts of silk and bamboo sounds, and occasionally there are women's gasps and moans.
This hall is used by Daur to entertain distinguished guests, and its name is Yingbin Xuan.
At the beginning, when the Daur Kingdom learned that the Holy Lion Empire had sent an envoy to the Daur Kingdom, it planned to let the envoy live in the Welcome Pavilion.
However, before Song Li and his entourage arrived, the envoy of Chagatai arrived in Daur first, and handed over a warning letter to Daur.
