Chapter 263: White Ring
After drinking the wine, Gurke looked slightly to the far corner of the tent, where there was a man wrapped in a black cloak, who had been completely hidden in darkness because of the cloak.
"As you said, being a vassal is the only option at the moment."
The man in the corner chuckled and said, "My king, this is the only way for you to directly obtain the affirmation of the Dachang Dynasty, even if this is the prince, but don't forget, King Xi is the only younger brother of the current emperor."
Gurke poured himself another glass of wine: "However, the appearance of the colt broke the game."
At this moment, the voice of the guards came from outside the door: "Clan King, most of Antai are asking to see you."
Gurke hesitated for a moment and said, "Let her in."
After a while, the guards opened the curtain of the tent, and Antai walked in slowly, kneeling down in front of Gurke and bowing: "Dadu Tong Gurke knocks on the prince."
When he heard the word prince, Gurke did not get angry, but smiled and said, "You still refuse to admit the identity of my king."
Antai knelt there and said, "Prince, the old clan king left a will when he was dying, let me take your sister, that is, Princess Baomeng, back to Rouyuan."
Gulke sighed, "Finish your sentence."
Antai lowered his voice, "Then let her sit on the throne of the clan."
Gurke remained calm: "However, my father once announced in front of all the patriarchs of the Six Ministries Assembly that I am his heir, and you said that your father left a will for you to rescue your sister when he was dying, but there is no basis for his words."
Antai fumbled around his waist for a while, took out a ring carved with a snow tower flower, held it with both hands, and held it up to Gurke.
"You know what this ring symbolizes."
That ring is called the White Ring. Because the snow tower flower is white, this ring carved with the snow tower flower is white in terms of the face, shoulders, and ring, and is made of bone, and no one knows what the bone is except the first clan king, Sarena.
The white ring represents the identity of the clan king, and the ring will also be passed on to the next clan king when the clan king passes on the throne.
The magic of the white ring is that unless the person wearing the ring voluntarily takes it off, otherwise, others will never be able to take it off. It was almost impossible to pull it out, so he could only cut off his fingers, and then slowly remove the flesh and bones from the ring.
However, if you do that, the inside of the ring and the ring will be stained with blood, and the blood cannot be directly cleaned, and it will take the next person to wear it for many years before it can be eliminated naturally.
Therefore, the bloodless ring in Antai's hand represents that the old clan king Tuohetai voluntarily took it off and handed it over to Antai.
Gurke looked at Bai Jie and asked, "If you show it to me directly, aren't you afraid that I will snatch it directly?"
Antai said: "If the prince wants to rob it, you will do it when you show it to you for the first time, and you don't need to wait until now."
Gurke chuckled and said, "So, if I had been mean, maybe I wouldn't have had so much trouble."
An Tai said, "It is precisely because of the prince's pure temperament that the old clan king will be uploaded to you in the Six Parts Conference."
Gurke frowned, "Then why did he give you the white ring again and let you go and pick up Bao Meng back?"
Antai looked up at Gulke, and the two were more like partners in search of the truth than enemies.
There is no enemy under heaven like this.
Antai looked at the clan king's armor hanging next to him, and his mind was full of questions.
Tuohetai handed over the armor of the clan king to Gurke, and handed over the white ring to himself, so that he could support Baomeng.
Tohetai also announced Gulke as his successor at the Six Ministries Conference.
Antai is not dissatisfied with Gurke, to be precise, in Antai's heart, she has always thought that Gurke is the best successor to the clan king, but the predecessor Tuohetai has a will, and she has to follow.
It is precisely because Gurke knows what Antai thinks in his heart that they can maintain this kind of relationship.
It's a pity that others don't think so, especially the other succession patriarchs,
Even the people of their respective tribes had contradictions, and the succession of the clan king became the fuse of the antagonism.
In other words, Antai, the leader of the main peace faction, and Gurke, the leader of the main battle faction, were unable to restrain these people, not because they did not have an iron fist, but because they knew that Rouyuan could no longer be chaotic, and the whole of the Tors department could not be separated.
Just as the Nine Plains should be a whole, and each Primordial Primordial cannot exist alone.
"I'm tired, you go down," Gurke said, holding his glass, "What should we do next, we'll talk about it, how about it?"
Antai kowtowed, "Yes, Your Highness the Prince."
After Antey left, Gurke lay down on the ground and looked up at the top of the tent, because the guy in the black cloak was hanging there like a bat.
Gurke looked at the guy and said, "Is what you say really possible?"
The man hanging upside down on the top of the tent finally poked his head out of his cloak, revealing the thin face, this person was none other than Chu Yan, the bone hunter who seemed to accompany the burial of Tsing Yi at the Blackwater Station, but was actually watching her.
Chu Yan hung there and shook his body, and said slowly, "Whether you can do it or not depends on whether you can do it."
Gulco frowned, "The Vadabe is gone."
Chu Yan looked at Gurke below: "You don't have to feel guilty, you didn't do it."
Gurke sat up, "But I knew it, but I didn't warn them...... In addition to the Wadabe, there are two other tribes, right? When are you going to do it?"
Chu Yan said, "You don't need to know so much, what you need to do is not to send competent people to investigate these tragedies in detail."
Gulke said, "I can only try, because I am not really the king of the clan."
Chu Yan landed lightly and stood behind the clan king's armor: "This armor is actually quite suitable for you, I wonder, why don't you want to be this clan king?"
Gurke turned his head and glared at Chu Yan: "If you bone hunters ......."
"Shhhhh
Gurke had no choice but to say, "If you Heaven Guides can't do that and sacrifice so many lives, I swear that I will definitely let the Heaven Guides completely disappear from the Nine Plains!"
When Chu Yan heard this, he pretended to be scared, nodded and said, "I will relay your words to the master, but as for whether the head will be as scared as a little lamb after hearing it, then I don't know."
Gurke clenched his fists, but he was helpless against Chu Yan, because he had something to ask for, and what he asked for was something that only a bone hunter could do.
At least, that's what Gurke and his father, Tohetai, think.
Chu Yan floated back to the dark corner of the tent: "Little Prince, the Wada Department is gone, the matter has come to this, you have no way back, act according to the plan, may the Nine Heavens God protect you."
After speaking, Chu Yan's body gradually merged with the darkness, and then disappeared completely.
Gurke's gaze was once again on the clan king's armor, and he slowly stepped forward with a face full of guilt, raising his hand on the armor: "Father, if you can hear my voice, then stop and go to the place, and wait for me to rescue you from the Nine Domains."

Bao Meng was watching Tang Xiaohao who was peeking outside at the door of the tent inside the tent.
After a long time, Bao Meng finally couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
Tang Xiaohao lowered the door curtain: "What's how? You don't even know what I'm doing, so you ask me how I'm doing."
Bao Meng was a little anxious: "I just asked what you are doing? Since you came back, you've been standing there looking out, what are you looking at?"
Tang Xiaohao moved his limbs: "I was looking at your brother's tent, and then I saw An Tai go in, and after a while he came out again, his pace was very steady before he went in, and when he came out, he walked very slowly, walking and stopping, originally walking towards us, stopped halfway through, and returned to his tent."
Bao Meng is busy
"What do you mean?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "This shows that he is hesitating, as for what he is hesitating, I don't know, but since my brother appeared, I can be sure of two things, one is that someone behind your eldest brother is giving him a trick, otherwise, he will not directly express his submission today." Second, there is no tension between your brother and Lord Antai. But judging by the way Calla and the Borku look at each other, these people below are not like that."
Bao Meng thought for a moment and said, "Looking back, Kinda didn't mention to me what kind of person my brother was along the way, when I was born, my brother was twenty years old, and now he is only forty. My grandmother told me that Brother Gurke was the most loyal of my father's three sons, and that he was very much loved by his father, and that if it were not for the rule of the eldest son to succeed to the throne, I am afraid that he would have succeeded to the throne in the name of justice."
Tang Xiaohao sat in front of Bao Meng: "This is the problem, when I saw your eldest brother's face under the iron crate today, I also felt that he should not be a sinister and cunning person, but he can't judge people by his appearance."
Bao Meng asked Tang Xiaohao solemnly, "What do you think of my brother Gurke?"
Tang Xiaohao shook his head: "I just met less than a day, hugged once, had a meal, just such a little time, I can't make an accurate judgment, didn't I say it, you can't judge people by their appearance, maybe he has a vicious heart hidden under his honest outside?"
Bao Meng was actually a little guilty, because she originally wanted to strike first, but now it seems that fortunately she didn't do that, so she doesn't plan to continue this topic.
Bao Meng asked again, "Then what do you mean that there is someone behind my eldest brother?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "That is to say, your eldest brother must have a strategist or something like that to give him advice, but who is this person? Is it someone in the priesthood? Or the current High Priest? I don't know."
Bao Meng approached Tang Xiaohao: "Do you want to say that with your judgment and my eldest brother's brain, he is not so smart?"
Tang Xiaohao hesitated and said, "Yes, because if he is really smart enough, when I suddenly stepped forward to hug him, he would not be stunned and couldn't say a word, even if he was surprised, he would quickly come up with a way to deal with it, but he didn't, but let me ruin his chance that he could easily get the approval of the imperial court."
Bao Meng said, "Then it may be the current high priest. Also, I can see that the relationship between Lord Antai and my brother is quite good, and I can feel from the look in my eyes that there is no hostility."
Tang Xiaohao got up and continued to move, as if warming up: "So, it is necessary to talk to Lord Antai, this old lady has something to hide from us."
"What old girl!" Bao Meng was a little angry, "No matter what you say, you are also a colt, and sometimes you talk like a marketperson."
Tang Xiaohao just grinned and said, "I'm sorry,, don't be like me, no matter what, I have to find a way to find that Dauria tonight."
