Considering that the top-secret plan to rescue the old Khan could be discovered by Zhao Ming in advance and an ambush was set up, God knows if there are Zhao Ming's spies among the top brass of the Yu State. It would be better to leave this bronze fragment with Lu Yunan.
"good."
Lu Yunan did not refuse and put away the bronze fragment.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of horse hooves approached quickly, and Lu Yunan's Black Mountain clan members came to the front and dismounted one after another. One of them brought two ownerless horses.
Lu Yunan took the Turkic clothing handed to her by her subordinates, put it on her body, then took out the human face disguise from the horse's luggage and covered it on her face.
"This horse is for you,"
Lu Yunan turned around and said, "Well, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Li Ang nodded, watched the other party step on the stirrups, mounted the horse, shook the reins, and led the crowd away.
The cavalry smoke gradually faded away, shrinking into tiny black dots.
Until the opponent climbed over the hillside and completely disappeared from sight, Li Ang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the stirrups, and rode the horse.
He used ink silk to disguise himself as a Turk, and used psychic paper to create a way out. Without much effort, he passed many checkpoints and sneaked into a small town less than a hundred miles away from the Turkic royal court.
He walked along the street holding the reins and came to a slightly deserted snack bar.
The bearded shop owner opened the curtain and walked out, asking in a gruff voice: "What do the guests want to eat? Lamb legs or mutton soup?"
Li Ang said in Turkic: "Two bowls of mutton soup, three fat and seven thin, add more green onions, another sesame cake, and another cup of Humisi."
Humisi is mare's milk wine, which is fermented from mare's milk. It is usually brewed in spring and summer, and is not easy to find in autumn and winter.
The shop owner's eyes flashed and he still said: "Suddenly the myth is gone."
"Milk is fine too."
Li Ang found a seat and sat down, and the store quickly brought all the food to him. After eating and drinking, he excused himself to the toilet and went to the backyard of the store.
The shop owner is already waiting there.
Just as the Turks would send spies to the Yu State, the Yu State would also send spies to garrison the Turks. The conversation just now was the secret code for contact.
Li Ang asked bluntly: "How is the situation in the royal court? Who is in power now?"
The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this. He didn't know Li Ang's identity. He was wondering how the contact person could ask such a question that no one knew. He replied: "The old Khan died of illness two days ago. His soul returned to the Immortal Heaven. Prime Minister
Ashdekoro supported the old Khan's eight-year-old grandson, and Ashnamudou succeeded to the throne."
The old khan died. His grandson succeeded him and the powerful Prime Minister Ashderkoro was still in power.
Li Ang was silent after hearing this. He and Jialuo were trapped in Liyuan for three days and nearly four days. This was the news they heard when they came out.
This also means that Qiu Feng, He Fanshuang and their backup plans also failed.
He rummaged around in his arms, picked out a small jade pendant, and handed it to the shop owner, "I need to use the close-up insect."
The shop owner took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Based on the complicated patterns and patterns on it, he determined the authority of the other party. Then he took Li Ang to the back room and dragged out an iron box from the stone bricks in the corner of the debris pile.
Opening the iron box and taking out old clothes and other coverings, a close-up insect suddenly lived in it.
The shop owner took out a sound insulation note and stuck it on the wall, then walked out of the house and closed the door.
…
Li Ang watched the opponent's back disappear, then picked up the close insect, adjusted the position of the insect's head tentacles, and called Jialuo.
"Hello?"
Li Ang switched back to his original voice, "It's me."
"Leon?!"
Jialuo was extremely surprised and quickly lowered his voice and asked: "Where are you?"
"Bone City."
After climbing up from Liyuan through all kinds of hardships, Li Ang naturally had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard his old friend's voice.
But now was really not the time for small talk, so Li Ang went straight to the point and asked the question he was most concerned about.
How did the old Khan die, and the whereabouts of Qiu Feng and the others.
After Jialuo's explanation, the whole story was finally revealed to Li Ang.
On the bank of Liyuan Cliff that day, Li Ang and Lu Yunan fell into the abyss. Since people from Taihao Mountain could chase them at any time, and Qiu Feng and the others' whereabouts were unknown, Jialuo had to return to the royal court first.
That night, news was received - Qiu Feng and the others found a way to get rid of Yuansou, escaped from Tongluo City, and successfully reunited with Jialuo.
According to the original plan, the group, with the help of the Ashina clan, led by Shen Tuyu, sneaked into the Khan's camp, but only found the old Khan's frozen body - he was probably dead after the banquet a few days ago.
Just die.
The Khan is dead, so a backup plan can only be adopted.
Shen Tuyu asked Sui Yi and others to evacuate first, while he hid his identity, caused a riot, and lured away the Taihao Mountain and Langyuan monks.
Let the Ashina clan steal the ice coffin and rescue the Ashina clan heirs who were imprisoned by the powerful Prime Minister Astekolo.
The royal city was in chaos, with the Astrid clan and the Ashina clan confronting each other, accusing each other of murdering the old Khan. The two sides fought against each other, almost triggering a civil war.
The conflict was so intensified that the monks from Taihao Mountain and Langyuan had to give up tracking Shen Tuyu and return to the royal city to mediate the situation.
After a series of complex political mediation, mediation of conflicts, and distribution of benefits, the civil strife was finally quelled and the following ruling was made.
The position of the Great Khan was inherited by the young grandson of the old Khan who did not participate in the banquet.
Ashdecoro will still serve as prime minister, but he will appoint two additional prime ministers, who will be served by Langyuan scholars outside the two clans, so as to equally share the power.
Such a verdict seems to be an acceptable outcome for all parties.
Ashina retained the position of khan, Ashide still had the position of prime minister, and Langyuan gained political influence.
For Taihao Mountain, the succession of the Turkic young master to the throne can slowly lead him to Haotian belief, making the Turks become as pious as the Zhou and Jing Kingdoms.
Even for the Yu State, this result is acceptable - the strange cause of the old Khan's death will become a thorn between the two clans, which can hinder the unity and cooperation of the two clans and delay them from devoting all their strength to the war against the Yu State.
war,
Even the Yu State can choose allies from among them and mobilize the Yu State to divide and civil war.
Li Ang, who got the information from Jialuo, comforted the girl a few words and asked her to keep the wolf-head armor. Then he hung up the communication and called the Yuguo Academy.
Chen Danqiu, who was offering sacrifices to wine, was equally shocked by the news that Li Ang was still alive. In the past few days when the latter disappeared, Xuegong and the Yu State tried every means, even sending spies from the Jing State to try to find him along the surface of Qianli Liyuan.
Return to Li Ang.
Unexpectedly, he came back on his own.
Li Ang cut the whole thing off and said only that he and the corpse of Ghost Spade fell off the cliff and found a way to climb up in the past few days, without revealing the news about Lu Yunan.
At the end of the communication, Li Ang rejected Chen Danqiu's proposal to send someone to take him back to the Yu Kingdom—Zhao Ming's informants had penetrated into the upper echelons of the Yu Kingdom and even the academy.
Now he can't believe anyone and wants to return to Yu Kingdom by himself.
