Irihan said: "There is no need to confront each other face-to-face. ”

Li Xuandu was stunned.

Ili Khan rubbed his hands together and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who fought against the national teacher should be Yutaiyun, I have seen her." Why did she come to the royal court at this time?"

Li Xuandu said calmly: "She doesn't want to assassinate the old Khan, she wants to support a new Khan who is more conducive to herself to ascend the throne." In addition, she also plans to settle old grudges. ”

Irihan said: "The messenger is honest. ”

Li Xuan didn't accept this compliment, "Even if I don't say it, Ngan Khan will say it." ”

Irihan said: "There has always been a distinction between the main battle faction and the main peace faction in the royal court, and the one supported by Yutaiyun must be the main peace faction, that is, the Xiao Yan clan and Yaomu Hu Khan. ”

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Ili Khan continued: "The envoy also came to ask for peace, he is a friend of the Xiao Yan clan, and I am a member of the main battle faction, and I am the enemy of the Xiao Yan clan, why did the envoy come to me?"

Li Xuandu said: "Whether it is the main battle or the main peace, but the concept is different, but the Great Khan is related to the national capital of the Golden Horde, should Ili Khan sit idly by and watch the death of the old Khan and be indifferent? As far as I know, since the establishment of the Golden Horde, there have been brothers competing for the throne, but there has never been a matter of a son killing his father to ascend to the throne, if this precedent is set......

Li Xuan didn't finish his words, and deliberately left one or two blanks.

Ili Khan frowned, "As I said, it is still uncertain that the real murderer of the old Khan may not be the Wagan Khan and the national teacher. To put it mildly, why don't I believe in the national teacher and my nephew who have guarded the royal court for many years, but believe in the envoy of the Central Plains?"

Li Xuandu said: "The reason is very simple, I have no motive to kill Lao Khan. The peace between the two countries was proposed by the old Khan, and I came to the royal court at the invitation of the old khan. After I came to the royal court, the old Khan summoned me several times, and treated me with great courtesy, which is a well-known thing. In fact, peace has been reached, and Iri Khan knows it very well, otherwise Ili Khan would not have wanted to kill me that day. In this case, why should I stab the old Khan? ”

Irihan nodded, "Makes sense, keep talking." ”

Li Xuandu continued: "Although I am an ally of the Xiao Yan clan, after the death of the old Khan, it is unknown whether Yaomu Khan can succeed to the throne smoothly, and whether he will insist on negotiating peace after succeeding to the throne. As the saying goes, why should I give up the peace agreement that has been reached to help Yaomu Khan seize the throne? ”

Irihan said, "Is there a third?"

"Naturally, there is. Li Xuandu smiled slightly, "Third, I have no direct interests. Because I am a native of the Central Plains, even if I kill the old Khan, it is impossible to become the Great Khan of the Golden Horde. But the national teacher is different from the Wagan Khan, the national teacher is the second only to the old Khan, and the Wagan Khan is one of the heirs of the four Khan kings, if

The old Khan died, the national teacher could go further, and the Wagan Khan also had hope of inheriting the throne of the Great Khan. Of course, if Irihan thinks that both the national teacher and the Ngan Khan are saints without selfish desires, then I have nothing to say. ”

Irihan apparently accepted this, and his attitude became more relaxed, "This is indeed the truth. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Since Ili Khan agrees with my statement, can I think that I have cleared the suspicion of killing the old Khan?"

Irihan was silent, and after a long time he nodded, "The messenger can think so. ”

Li Xuan has the problem of "being a good teacher", eloquence is not lacking, and he is best at this kind of "slow talk", since Ili Khan is willing to let him speak, then he will analyze the situation for Ili Khan according to his own intentions, and then guide Ili Khan to his side, in Qin Su's words, Li Xuan has some potential for a vertical and horizontal family.

Li Xuan said unhurriedly: "Last night, there were five people who entered the Golden Horde of the Old Khan, namely: I, Shantaiyun, the National Teacher, the Lost Sweet Khan, and Ye Chi, when I arrived at the Golden Horde, the Lost Sweet Khan was already in the Golden Horde, and then the National Teacher appeared, and then the Taiyun and the Late. The whole process, in addition to me, Ye Chi has also seen it with my own eyes, I have already brought him to the palace of the Xiao Yan clan, and Iri Khan can also ask Ye Chi, as for whether Ye Chi is credible, I don't need to say more. ”

Irihan suddenly said, "Yechi is my disciple. ”

Li Xuandu was relieved when he heard this.

Ili Khan pressed his knees and looked at Li Xuandu, "As the envoy said, it was the Wagan Khan and the national teacher who killed the old Khan, but it is not so easy to avenge the old Khan, the national teacher is the leader of the shamans, and the Igan Khan has mastered half of the cowardly Xue army in the royal court, and now the royal court is a three-legged stand, and the Wagan Khan and the national teacher are the most powerful." ”

Li Xuandu followed the words of Ili Khan and said, "It is precisely because of this that I have to persuade Ili Khan to cease war with the Xiao Yan clan. There is a saying among us: 'Mussels and cranes compete with each other, and fishermen benefit.' 'I have heard that Ili Khan is proficient in the study of the Central Plains, so I should know the allusion to the death of Zhibo. If Ili Khan joins forces with Ngan Khan to destroy the Lesser Clan, will Ili Khan be able to resist Igan Khan? We can only unite and destroy the most powerful Igan Khan first, and then divide the victory and defeat fairly. ”

Ili Khan claimed to be the first person in the royal court who was proficient in the study of the Central Plains, and he read the classics to the fullest, so he naturally knew the allusions to the death of Zhibo. Zhi, Han, Wei, and Zhao competed with each other, and the Zhi family was the most powerful, leading the other two to conquer the weakest Zhao family, but was jointly attacked by the three families, and finally the most powerful Zhi family was the first to perish. The reason is that if the Zhao family dies, Han and Wei will not be protected, and the three families will eventually return to wisdom, which is a cold mouth. Instead of letting the Zhi family dominate, it is better for the three families to destroy the Zhi family first, so that the remaining three families will not have an advantage, but can coexist with the three. How similar the situation is now, Yi

Naturally, Rihan couldn't think about it.

Ili Khan was silent for a long time and said, "I can agree to an armistice, but Mingli Khan may not agree. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Then give him a reason that he can't refuse." ”

Ili Khan first looked at Li Xuandu, and then at the three people behind Li Xuandu, shook his head and said, "Mingli Khan can't die. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Of course I won't die, I just let Mingli Khan disappear for a while, and during this time, Ili Khan can completely grasp the power." Afterwards, I will give Ming Li Khan's hands back. ”

Irihan asked, "After all, you are an ally of the Xiao Yan clan, how can I trust you?"

Li Xuandu replied, "I can stay as a hostage." ”

Irihan smiled, "If the envoy comes as a hostage, then I can't do anything else but be a jailer, staying by the messenger's side at all times." ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What is Irihan going to do?"

Irihan's gaze swept over the four of them, and he pointed at Shi Wuyue, "I want this woman as a hostage, she is much weaker than the messenger, and I am sure enough to trap her." ”

Before Li Xuan could speak, Shi Wuyue had already quit, "Why? Why should I be a hostage?"

Li Xuan didn't speak, and it was not easy to speak. There is a difference between the six people in the inn, but in essence it is still similar to dream interpretation, Li Xuandu just occupies a dominant position, it can take the initiative to be a hostage, but it is not good to force others to be like him. If he forced Shi Wuyue to do something, he was afraid that people's hearts would be scattered.

Ning Yi sighed, "It's better for me to come, I can do without a knife, and without a knife, I should be able to reassure Ili Khan." ”

Li Xuan did not refuse.

"Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. Ili Khan looked at Ning Yi, "I take the liberty to ask, are you husband and wife or sister and brother?"

Ning Yi shook her head silently.

Ili Khan looked at Ning Yi with a little more admiration in his eyes.

At this moment, Shi Wuyue suddenly said, "No need. ”

Ning Yi and Li Xuan were both stunned, and turned their heads to look at Shi Wuyue, angry at how she changed her temperament.

Shi Wuyue said indifferently: "Back then, I was also a person who went through life and death, and I ended up in such a situation today, what are I afraid of, there is nothing to lose." ”

Irihan patted his knee and smiled, "Good spirit." ”

Li Xuandu stood up and said, "I believe in the reputation of Ili Khan over the years, and I hope Ili Khan will not let me down." Otherwise, I will respond accordingly. ”

Hearing the threat in Li Xuandu's words, Ili Khan was not angry, threw a thin piece of skin back to Li Xuandu, and said calmly: "The thing is returned to its original owner." Rest assured, messenger, I, Iri, have never broken my word, and I can vouch for it with the honor of the royal family. ”
