"The Khan has a cough...the gods are already calling his name."
The cough was actually tuberculosis. Li Po thought that in these days, it was undoubtedly a standard terminal disease. But what made him a little confused was that even if he got tuberculosis, he should be able to survive it.
A year or two, right? How could he become critically ill like this?
The woman didn't explain much. Obviously, it was not that easy for a Turk to ask for help from a foreign enemy and then describe to the enemy everything that happened in the royal court.
In fact, Shibi Khan's condition was indeed deteriorating rapidly.
There were many doctors in the royal court, and some even suggested that Sui people from all over the south, like Dou Jiande and others, be sent to the grasslands to find good Sui doctors to treat the Khan.
But Shibi Khan refused to listen. He was very stubborn on this point, and his illness stemmed from the gods' dissatisfaction with him.
Therefore, the matter of asking ghosts and gods instead of good doctors was performed in the Turkic royal court. There was also no shortage of gods, shamans and witch doctors in the royal court.
The witch doctor brought some messy things for Shibi Khan to eat, while the shamans jumped around the bonfire day and night, and continued to let Shibi Khan offer sacrifices to the gods with his own hands.
As a result, even good people have to suffer from illness, let alone a disease that requires quiet cultivation the most?
Soon, Shibi Khan's body completely weakened.
Li Po didn't ask in detail. What he asked at this time actually didn't make much sense. As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is belief. No matter what the woman said, he would send someone to the Turkic Royal Court to confirm it later.
"Jieli Khan has been recalled to the royal court and lost his power to govern the west. His subordinates are revolting. Those loyal to him... many have died in the battle this spring, and others are unable to defend their master.
.”
"The lion has entered the lion's cage. No matter who ascends to the throne of Khan, he will never be let out again."
This statement sounded equally untrue to Li Po. Just imagine, how could a heir to the position of Khan, who rules the western Turkic tribes like a prince, lose his followers so quickly?
At this point, Li Po smiled and added, "So, if I kill Jieli Khan later, won't anyone come to avenge him?"
The woman was startled again and asked, "Does the general have any grudge against Ashina Dubi?"
Li Po said: "What hatred is there? Jieli Khan once sent an envoy to me to ask for a man's head and promised many benefits. I expelled his envoy. The next year, he sent tens of thousands
The Jingqi followed Shibi Khan southward and set a trap to kill me."
"Didn't his confidants die in the battle at that time?"
The woman was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "Ashina Dubi is in Dali City. If the general can enter there one day, I don't think His Highness will refuse the request of a warrior who has proven his loyalty.
"
This answer is very cunning, showing that this woman is more suitable as an envoy than Dou Jing.
The proud Turkic noblewoman was playing with the tea cup irritably. Everything here disgusted her. Obviously, she was favored by Princess Yicheng and did not have the consciousness that a Turkic royal noblewoman should have.
The beautiful love story between the legendary royal daughter and the handsome Turkic warrior. It will definitely not happen with them.
The game of power has been played in the hands of the big shots in the north and south for countless years. Their children are all weights in marriage. Unless they lose their power, otherwise, women with high status will have no choice.
The girl, who didn't quite understand this truth, was feeling annoyed and humiliated by the behavior of her mother, who had always doted on her, and sent her to the south like a piece of cargo.
She is the noble Princess Jialan, her beauty is known throughout the grassland, and countless Turkic warriors are willing to die for her. But now, she is suffering in a way she has never imagined.
Therefore, she was prepared to defend her dignity to the death and not marry this arrogant and rude Sui general who had a bad reputation on the grassland... and was not good-looking at all, as her mother wanted.
But at this moment, Ashina's name caught her attention.
Are they talking about killing a Turkic hero? Of course she has seen Ashina Dubi. There is no doubt that he is a man who fits the perception of the Turks. He is strong, brave and full of aggressiveness.
And the rumors about Ashina Dubi have also fascinated many Turkic girls.
He was a hero who could kill the most ferocious beasts, a Western Khan who led countless warriors to gain meritorious deeds. He married a beautiful wife and stayed silently at the foot of the Holy Mountain for many years after her death, mourning the death of his wife.
Everything can satisfy a girl's most perfect fantasy.
In comparison, Li Po's image was simply shattered into pieces.
The woman immediately started to defend her idol angrily and resolutely. Although Ashina Dubi was actually her brother, the Turks, especially the Turkic nobles, never cared about this.
Obviously, she is not interested in the power struggle among the Turks.
"A lion is a lion wherever he goes. He will not be harmed or insulted by hyenas... If you actually want to kill him, the gods will definitely punish you."
Well, this was already the most vicious curse she could think of.
As a hyena, Li Po blinked his eyes and finally escaped from the treacherous plot, and then showed a fox-like smile.
"A lion will always be hunted by people. When I cut off his head, he will be a dead lion. His fur, bones and flesh will be eaten clean by people. Then we will know who is the hero.
, who is the greedy hyena again."
The corners of his curved mouth seemed to be dripping with blood, and his smile seemed to contain endless ferocity and viciousness. His cold eyes frightened the girl who had never known the dangers of the world, and her face turned pale.
At this time, Li Po twitched his nostrils. A very strange, but very comfortable faint aroma finally entered his olfactory system, and then severely stimulated his brain.
This is where the name of Princess Jialan comes from.
Li Po raised his brows slightly, and in an instant he abandoned this fragrant body fragrance, which for men is tantamount to an aphrodisiac, into a corner.
His eyes wandered for a moment and then focused again, "Okay, a beast with broken claws and fangs is not worthy of our attention. Then, there should be another Turli Khan, right? What is his name? You see, I am very concerned about you.
The Turks are not familiar with it."
"I don't know who the nobles in the Turkic Royal Court are, so I don't need you to point them out one by one. I just want to know who will threaten me if I lead my troops north. You understand me.
Do you mean it?"
The woman looked at Astian Xiang, sighed in her heart, and secretly sighed like a man, when will Turkic women become smart? Do they really not deserve to have the same glory and power as men?
Is a woman like Your Highness the work of the gods, or is the blood of the Sui people at work?
The answer is obvious, because she is facing a cunning and changeable Sui man.
She quickly organized her thoughts and no longer worried about the simple and somewhat stupid girl.
She looked at Li Po seriously, and her words became simple and powerful, "There are four main tribes stationed around Dali City. They are all guards of the royal court, and there are more than a dozen subsidiary tribes attached to them.
"
"Only the Aknan tribe stationed in the southeast has good relations with Tuli Khan. The leader of southern Akko, Ashinabiji, is the half-brother of Tulihan. Ashinabiji also married Tulihan.
Khan’s daughter for wife…”
Li Po felt a little dizzy as he listened. Even though he had heard about the chaotic blood relationships of the Turks, he still secretly smacked his lips at such a mess of relatives.
He was thinking that there must be many deformed children among the Turkic nobles.
His guess was good, but in fact, the men of the Turkic royal family were all very healthy. Of course, among the Turkic royal family, deformed children would not grow up. They would be killed by their fierce fathers without hesitation before they were born.
In the beginning, this kind of thing was actually very common among the Turks.
The woman continued, "Tuli Khan's younger brother, Ashina Boyu, is also leading some tribes to move westward, constantly approaching the royal court. His cronies, including Kru Hushu and others, led 20,000 cavalry and were stationed at the Yellow Flag Sea.
Nearby, it echoes Ashina Biji from afar."
At this point, she bowed slightly, touched her chest with her hand, and said sincerely: "Your Highness said that if the general can lead his troops northward, and if there are few soldiers, please go directly north to attack the southern part of Acre. At that time, your highness will send warriors to join the general.
flank them."
"General, don't worry, His Highness will move the other main tribes away beforehand."
"If the general has more soldiers and is confident of victory, then ask the general to go to Huangqihai and kill Kruhu..."
As he listened, Li Po gradually frowned. This was too bad. Tuli Khan was obviously determined to win the throne, and was even ready to seize it by force.
If he leads his troops northward, he will most likely be greeted by a series of battles.
Attacking the southern part of Ark is not difficult if we can really cooperate with each other. But once we enter Dali City and join Princess Yicheng, the Turks from the east will definitely swarm in. What kind of fight will there be under Dali City?
No one can predict the tragic war.
If he goes to Huangqihai...he really knows that place, it is a very big lake.
Fighting on the grassland with more than 20,000 Turks, his heart couldn't help but tremble. This was always something he tried his best to avoid...
The situation is very bad. How could Her Royal Highness the Princess dare to seize the throne at such a time and at such a disadvantage?
