Last night, the Southern Turks led troops to encircle and suppress the Western Protectorate, and the Northern Khan had already heard about it, and he also guessed that Fu Qinglian would not let go of the Southern Turks easily this time, so he concluded that Fu Qinglian would definitely come to borrow troops.

"Yes." The attendants hurriedly retreated and brought in the three men at the gate of the royal court, and although the attendants were afraid, they did not dare to disobey the Khan's orders.

"This way, please." The attendants took Fu Qinglian and the three of them to the palace and retreated.

"Came to visit without permission, did not inform the Khan in advance, and hoped that the Khan would forgive his sins." Fu Qinglian smiled and bent down to salute the Khan. Seeing this, Chen Shi and Li Yue, who were behind them, also bent down and saluted.

"It's okay, His Royal Highness King Jing is coming, Ben Khan has missed the welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness King Jing will forgive me." The Khan's answer was watertight, without any flaws, and he looked at them with a smile in his eyes, as if he was very kind to them.

But Fu Qinglian knew that the Khan was definitely not such an easy character to deal with, and now they came from afar, and they had a request for the Khan, and they didn't know what to say to be able to lend him so many soldiers and horses.

"Khan is serious." Fu Qinglian arched his hand and looked at Conan respectfully.

"Three distinguished guests, take their seats." Khan, hospitably beckoning to them, pointed to the seat in front of them, and told them to hurry up and do not have to be so polite.

When the three of them heard this, they sat down in turn.

"I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness King Jing's sudden visit?" Northern Khan got straight to the point, straight to the point, and did not say any greetings to Fu Qinglian, since they came from afar, they definitely did not come to reminisce, since they now have a purpose, then he doesn't have to hide it anymore.

"I can't hide it, this king came today to ask the khan for help." Fu Qinglian replied. Although Khan's question caught him off guard, he was fortunate not to lose his ground.

"Oh? Lord Wang, please speak. If Ben Khan can help, he will do his best. The Northern Khan touched his beard and said with a smile. He put on a sincere appearance, and if he was someone else, he was afraid that he would believe it.

Fu Qinglian is worthy of Fu Qinglian, no matter how sincere the other party's expression is, Fu Qinglian can still see at a glance that the other party is just polite. Even if he could help, he must have his own purpose.

Although he knew that the other party didn't really want to help, Fu Qinglian still laughed with him for the sake of spending Shenyue.

"The purpose of this king's coming here today is to borrow troops." Fu Qinglian did not beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions.

"Why did the prince borrow soldiers?" Khan pretended not to know about this matter, and looked at Fu Qinglian with curiosity.

"Attack the Southern Turks."

Northern Khan didn't expect Fu Qinglian to answer so directly, and originally thought that his father Li An wanted to let him agree to borrow troops, at least to make some beautiful words, but he didn't expect that he didn't hide anything at all.

He directly stated his purpose, he fixed his mind and thought about it.

"How many troops does the prince want to borrow?" The Northern Khan asked.

"Thirty thousand."

Fu Qinglian still has more than 50,000 troops behind him, and according to Li Yue, the troops that the Southern Turks can use are about 80,000, and if nothing else, borrowing 30,000 troops is enough.

As long as they can have an extra layer of troops, they will have a better chance of winning when the time comes to start a war.

Fu Qinglian also wanted to borrow more, but he was afraid that the other party would think that he was a lion with a big mouth, in case the other party was unwilling to borrow troops, it would be worth the loss, so he simply borrowed less, maybe the chance of success would be greater.

Khan didn't speak, his head bowed and he was thinking. Fu Qinglian didn't bother him, and waited quietly on the side, hoping that he could think clearly as soon as possible.

What Khan was thinking about was not whether to borrow troops, but whether he should take the opportunity to negotiate with Fu Qinglian about what conditions. He knew that Fu Qinglian held great power, and this attack on the Southern Turks might not have told the emperor first, but planned to cut it first.

Khan also knew that the emperor attached great importance to Fu Qinglian, basically he would do whatever Fu Qinglian said, in this case, as long as he could negotiate with Fu Qinglian, it would be negotiated with the Emperor of the Central Plains.

"This king can lend 40,000 troops to the prince, but there are some requests, I wonder if the prince can agree?" After a long time, the khan finally spoke, since Fu Qinglian wanted to borrow troops, it would definitely not be so easy. I still have conditions.

"The Khan is serious, this king is just a mere prince, if the Khan has any requests, when this king returns to Beijing, he will definitely say with the imperial brother, and then see how the imperial brother will deal with it."

Fu Qinglian tried to make the other party feel that he had no real power in his hands. This time it was decided to start a war with the Southern Turks, although a letter had been written and sent back to the capital as soon as possible, but in any case, it would take four or five days to reach the hands of the imperial brother, so it was to cut first and then play.

If he agreed to the Khan's conditions on behalf of the emperor's brother today, then when it came back to the ears of those officials in the capital, he would be said to not take the emperor in his eyes, and he would not be able to fall into the hands of others.

Although he knew that the Imperial Brotherhood would believe in him unconditionally, he was not afraid of those gossips, but if it was like this often, then in the eyes of those officials, the Imperial Brotherhood would become less and less dignified.

As the emperor's younger brother, he naturally has to protect the majesty of the imperial brother at any time, and he must not let the emperor's prestige be damaged.

The Khan was not fooled, although he was far away in the Turks, he knew the forms of the Central Plains well. Fu Qinglian held great power and won the trust of the Central Plains Emperor, no matter how big or small, he had to ask Fu Qinglian's opinion.

What Fu Qinglian said now is obviously deliberate.

"The prince laughed, who in this world doesn't know that the emperor trusts the prince the most, as long as the prince agrees, when he returns to the capital and speaks for Ben Khan in front of the emperor, the emperor naturally has no objection."

Fu Qinglian sighed in his heart, thinking that he could prevaricate in the past, but he didn't know that the other party had investigated his bottom so clearly. That's it, this matter can't be delayed any longer, in order to rescue Hua Shenyue as soon as possible, as long as the Northern Khan's request is not too excessive, he can agree.

Li Yue and Chen Shi also looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this Northern Khan was also a difficult person to mess with.

"In that case, what does the Khan want?" Fu Qinglian asked, it would be more convenient for the two of them to make things clear now, and there was no need for either of them to continue to talk about this inconsequential topic.

"Ben Khan only hopes that he can freely trade with the Central Plains and other places in the west, and the prince also knows that our Northern Turks and the Southern Turks have always been at odds, and if we have a conflict with the Southern Turks in the future, I hope that the Western Protectorate can send troops to help."

Fu Qinglian sneered in his heart, this Northern Khan, with a good calculation, can do business freely, but does not increase the annual supply to Qiguo, and also wants the Western Protectorate to send troops to help the Northern Turks when there is a war between the Northern and Southern Turks, instead of quelling the war.

That's it, there are no fundamental interests involved, so let him be, it is important to attack the Southern Turks, and it is important to rescue Hua Shenyue.

"This king promises you." Fu Qinglian said, since you want to borrow troops, you must pay something, this Khan's request is not so excessive, and at this critical juncture, there is no need to take care of so many other things.

"The prince is happy, since this is the case, I hope to draw up an agreement." Khan didn't expect Fu Qinglian to be so refreshing, so he happily agreed.

Chen Shi and Li Yue also saw that the Northern Khan had clearly planned it, and they were waiting for them to come to borrow troops, but even so, they didn't seem to have any other better choice at this time, so they could only obediently get into his trap.

The attendant took paper and pen and ink and put it in front of Fu Qinglian, and after a while, Fu Qinglian drew up an agreement, signed his name, and handed it to the Northern Khan.

Northern Khan took the agreement and looked at it, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, he didn't expect that he just borrowed 40,000 soldiers and horses to get such a good agreement.

This is good for him, and after reading it, he also took a pen and wrote his name on the agreement.

"Lord Wang, please go back, 40,000 soldiers will come to your military camp tomorrow."

"In that case, then the king is waiting for the Khan's 40,000 elite soldiers." After that, Fu Qinglian left the royal court with Chen Shi and Li Yue.

The Northern Khan touched his beard and looked at the agreement in his hand with a satisfied smile, Southern Turkic, I see how you will fight with me in the future, as long as you can cooperate with them, are you afraid that there will be no soldiers and horses and food in the future?

Hua Shenyue was locked in a dungeon and bored. Although no one embarrassed her, the dungeon was dark and uncomfortable, and she didn't know where she could escape, but she felt that it was too oppressive and dark.

Fortunately, the wound on her leg is slowly healing, although it is still very painful, but as long as the wound is not pulled, it should be almost recovered in four or five days, it seems that the medicine given to her by the witch doctor is still useful.

Hua Shenyue is also worried about Fu Qinglian, he is auspicious, and he should be fine. It's just that Hua Shenyue didn't know what Luo Chen's purpose was for arresting her, she hoped that Fu Qinglian would come to save her, and she was worried that the Southern Turks would set a trap waiting for Fu Qinglian.

"That's it, if you come, you will be safe." Hua Shenyue couldn't figure it out, so she simply shook her head and didn't want to think about it, anyway, no matter what she thought now, it was impossible to escape from here, so it was better to put herself in a good state of mind and live the next days with peace of mind.

Fu Qinglian took Chen Shi and Li Yue to leave the Northern Turkic royal court and returned to the camp. The three generals, Liu Bo, Zhou Yi, and Shen Qi, saw that only the three of them came back, thinking that they had not borrowed soldiers.

"Lord Wang, but the Northern Turks are unwilling to borrow troops?" Liu Bo asked. If they didn't borrow soldiers, it would be troublesome, but looking at their current performance, it doesn't look like they really haven't borrowed soldiers and horses.

"Don't worry, I borrowed 40,000 troops, and I will be in the camp tomorrow." Fu Qinglian explained.

After listening to Fu Qinglian's words, the expressions of the three of them became obviously happy, so it would be good, they could also take the initiative in this war.
