Taiping Inn

After Ikton left, Qin Su handed the long sword in his hand to the disciple of the Butian Sect beside him. Another female disciple of the Butian Sect picked up Qin Su's cloak and held it in her hand.

Qin Su looked down the mountain, turned and walked towards the palace gate, and a group of Butian Sect disciples followed him in a line.

Back to the Great Wilderness North Palace, Hu Liang waved his hand to signal all the disciples to return to their positions. After only he and Qin Su were left, the two came to an empty palace. Qin Su finally couldn't hold on, his body trembled, and he almost couldn't stand up, so he had to hold on to the wall next to him.

Hu Liang's face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously: "Junior sister, what happened to you?"

Qin Su said slowly: "The punch of the Golden Tent Semu man was very domineering, fortunately I only received a small part of the punch. If it was a real punch, I'm afraid I would die on the spot."

Hu Liang felt a little scared. Although he didn't go on the field in person, if Qin Su really had any problems, even if Qin Qing and Li Xuan would not vent their anger on him, he would not be able to get through this, and it would be no different from death.

Qin Su said: "Now that the enemy is at hand, Senior Brother has to take charge of the situation. I will go to the Danku to heal my wounds, Senior Brother, don't worry."

Hu Liang knew that what Qin Su said was reasonable, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded and said: "Okay."

Qin Su left alone.

Hu Liang stood there, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and returned to his usual appearance, striding out of the hall.

On the other side, Ikton went down the main peak of Taibai Mountain, and soon met Gumuhan who was responsible for the meeting. Gumuhan saw Ikton's embarrassed appearance and smiled in a gloomy way, saying nothing.

Ikton deliberately sighed and brought out the excuse he had thought of long ago, "It's a tough job. The woman is Li Xuandu's wife and Qin Qing's daughter. As long as these two people are alive, who dares to do anything to her?"

Gumuhan heard what Ikton said, and immediately remembered Li Xuandu's horrific means. His shield was easily broken by Li Xuandu. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have lost his life. He couldn't help but be silent, and the sarcastic words he prepared couldn't be said.

The two were silent for a while, and went to Henggang City silently.

When the two Yesen Yan retreated, Qin Su also came to the Danku. After finding a pill to treat injuries, Qin Su swallowed it whole, and then sat down slowly against the big tripod.

Just now, there was a fierce fight, and Qin Su had used all her means to barely cope with it. If she had been a little careless, she would have died at the hands of Ikton. The physical injury and the damage to her qi were only one aspect. More importantly, "Heavenly Calculation" was extremely exhausting, making her very tired and just wanting to fall asleep.

But Qin Su knew that this was not the time to fall asleep, so she just sat and dozed for half an hour, then struggled to stand up, left the alchemy warehouse, and went outside.

At this time, a flying sword letter came to Qin Su.

Qin Su was startled, and then found that this flying sword was the one that Li Xuandu gave to Le Hemi. Although the owner of the flying sword was Li Xuandu, during the time when Li Xuandu was recuperating, Li Xuandu gave all the authority to Qin Su, and Qin Su sent and received the letter on his behalf, so this flying sword did not go to Li Xuandu at this time, but to Qin Su.

Qin Su took the flying sword and opened the letter. There were densely packed Golden Tent characters inside. Qin Su could only recognize most of them. There were many rare characters that he did not recognize. Fortunately, Liaodong was adjacent to the Golden Tent, and the two sides had a lot of intersections. There were many books about the Golden Tent in the Great Wilderness North Palace. Qin Su came to the library of the Great Wilderness North Palace and found a dictionary of Golden Tent language. He compared them one by one and translated the whole letter.

The letter was sent by Lehemi. In the letter, Lehemi roughly described some of the reasons for Tan Taiyun's trip.

It turned out that after the Earth Master ascended, Tan Taiyun began to take action. On the one hand, he managed the Western Regions, forced the Zhenyan Sect and the Vajra Sect to make concessions, and took the entire Loulan City into his pocket. On the other hand, he threatened Batu Khan and asked him to stop the war and make peace. Batu Khan's Western Royal Court is adjacent to the Western Regions. After losing the protection of the Earth Master, the pressure from Tan Taiyun is very great. It happened that the snowstorm this year came earlier, so Batu Khan used this as an excuse to agree to stop the war and make peace.

Tan Taiyun's purpose is not to support Ili Khan to become the new Khan, because Ili Khan is in his prime and has the cultivation of the realm of heaven and man. Compared with the four Yesen Nayans, he has the hope of entering the realm of immortality and becoming a rare human immortal. More importantly, Ili Khan also contributed to the killing of the national teacher. He can be regarded as a revenger for the old Khan. In addition, Ili Khan was originally the Grand Commandant of the Qiexue Army and had a very high prestige in the Golden Horde. If he is allowed to become the new Khan, then all tribes will soon submit to the new Khan, including Shamanism and the big and small Yanshi, who will be unable to resist, and then the Golden Horde will become one again. By that time, Tan Taiyun was powerless to intervene in the Golden Horde, so Tan Taiyun could not let Ili Khan ascend to the throne of Khan.

Under this premise, Tan Taiyun thought of a way, which was to force Batu Khan to make peace with Ili Khan, rather than helping Ili Khan defeat Batu Khan. If Ili Khan defeated Batu Khan with his own ability, then no one in the entire Golden Horde could stop him from ascending to the throne of Khan, which was the general trend and the popular will. But if it was a peace talk, then Batu Khan's power would be preserved, and many people who opposed Ili Khan would naturally stand on Batu Khan's side and fight against Ili Khan together, which would prevent Ili Khan from ascending to the throne of Khan.

Of course, this is only a stopgap measure and it is difficult to last long, so Tan Taiyun has a second trick, which is to divide the Ili Khan internally, or more precisely, to divide the Ili Khan and Xiao Yanshi. The biggest supporter of the Ili Khan is Xiao Yanshi, and the one who least wants the Ili Khan to become the Khan is also Xiao Yanshi, because Xiao Yanshi hopes that her son Yaomuhu Khan will become the Khan. Tan Taiyun proposed a "compromise", that is, the Ili Khan and Batu Khan reached a reconciliation, because the royal court could not have two Khans, so the two of them gave in and respected the old Khan's son Yaomuhu Khan as the new Khan. The status of the Khan is still supreme, but the Ili Khan and Batu Khan are not without gain. The two will get a title similar to "Deputy Khan", which is a little higher than the ordinary king, and the first point than the Khan. Under one person, above ten thousand people, somewhat similar to the regent of the Central Plains court. It is also similar to the position of the deputy headmaster of the Taoist sect, which is higher than the ordinary real person, but lower than the headmaster.

If Tan Taiyun's proposal is passed, the Golden Horde will actually be divided into four parts, corresponding to the four major courts of the Golden Horde. The new Khan will move to the Northern Court, where the ancestors of the Golden Horde royal family started their business. Batu Khan will still occupy the Western Court near the Western Regions, Ili Khan will occupy the Eastern Court near Liaodong, and the remaining Southern Court will be handed over to Xiao Yanshi, where she will live in her old age, and she will become the "Queen Mother".

Seeing this, Qin Su has understood that this is not a vassal state. Tan Taiyun is unable to control the Golden Horde, so he will take advantage of the chaos in the Golden Horde to divide the Golden Horde into several parts, and let the local vassal states separate and restrict each other. This gives Tan Taiyun the possibility to continue to interfere in the Golden Horde, and at the same time eliminates the possibility of a strong Khan appearing.

Whether it is Ili Khan or Batu Khan, they both have the potential to become a strong emperor. Such an emperor cannot be controlled by others, but Yaomuhu Khan is different. Whether in terms of ability or other aspects, he is not enough to become an emperor who integrates the Golden Horde. He will only become a puppet at the mercy of others. And if Yaomuhu Khan wants to keep his position, he must rely on external forces, that is, his mother, Xiao Yanshi, and Tan Taiyun who supports Xiao Yanshi.

It must be said that Tan Taiyun is worthy of being a half-disciple taught by the Earth Master. It may not be possible to govern the world, but this method of disrupting the situation is quite clever. Under this proposal, except for Ili Khan, who was originally the most likely to become the Khan, Batu Khan, who lost the support of the Earth Master and was powerless, Xiao Yanshi who wanted to be the queen mother, and Yaomuhu Khan who wanted to become the Khan, would agree.

When Li Xuandu faced the attack of the Zhengyi Sect, Tan Taiyun instructed Mrs. Luo to contact Xiao Yanshi and put forward this suggestion. Xiao Yanshi was very interested in the proposal to make herself the "Queen Mother" and occupy a royal court alone, so Xiao Yanshi immediately had a rift with Ili Khan, who advocated war, and became a peace advocate. The kings began to waver and wait and see. Ili Khan could not defeat Batu Khan by his own strength. In addition, Batu Khan also took the initiative to stop the war, and the four Yesen Nayans returned. The war in the Golden Horde calmed down and began to elect a new Khan.

Although the old Khan's real choice for the future Khan was Naiqi Khan, the old Khan never really made it clear, so when the old Khan suddenly died, Naiqi Khan became irrelevant, even worse than the dead Shigan Khan. In order to protect Naiqi Khan, the old Khan always used Yaomuhu Khan as a cover for Naiqi Khan. In other words, in the eyes of outsiders, the old Khan's favorite son was Yaomuhu Khan, and it was natural for the old Khan to pass the throne of Khan to Yaomuhu Khan. In addition, Ili Khan once publicly stated that he would not compete for the position of Khan and would support the new Khan designated by the old Khan. For a time, Yaomuhu Khan had the highest voice.

In the absence of a new Khan, the four Yesen Nayans decided to follow the orders of Xiao Yanshi. In this case, Ili Khan could no longer reverse the situation and could only acquiesce. However, Ili Khan was unwilling to give up and brought up the death of the old Khan again. Before the new Khan ascended the throne, he had to avenge the old Khan. For the Golden Horde, the death of the old Khan was a threshold that could not be bypassed, and no one could veto it. Now that the national teacher was dead and Shigan Khan was missing, most of them were dead, but there was still one person left, the Liaodong envoy who appeared in the royal court at that time.

Ili Khan did not mention Li Xuandu, but blurred the identity of the Liaodong envoy, believing that Liaodong was also one of the murderers who murdered the old Khan. If Yaomuhu Khan wanted to ascend to the Khan, he had to avenge the old Khan first.

Things will be smooth if things are slowed down. Ili Khan's intention is very clear, which is to delay the situation, because the situation in the Central Plains is also on the verge of breaking out. When there is a big change in the Central Plains and Tan Taiyun is involved in it and has no time to take care of the Golden Horde, Ili Khan can start to unify the Golden Horde.

Ili Khan's voice should not be underestimated. Many people in the Golden Horde support this statement. Under such circumstances, Tan Taiyun's trip to Liaodong took place.
