Xiao Chengyi's voice was neither fast nor slow, as if he was asking an ordinary question.
But when this question falls into other people’s ears, it doesn’t feel that way.
Hu Yanshang felt that Xiao Chengyi had an invisible sense of oppression. This was clearly in their territory, but they had no confidence and could not hold their heads high.
When Xiao Chengyi saw that they were silent, he tapped the table with his fingers and said in a faint voice: "Does King Huyan Khan need to discuss with your children?"
Hu Yanshang was about to go down the steps when he heard Hu Yanqiu say: "If the regent doesn't agree, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape intact."
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yanshang broke into a cold sweat.
He was on pins and needles and didn't know what to say for a moment?
Xiao Chengyi chuckled softly: "Why don't we give it a try and see if I have the ability to escape unscathed?"
Hu Yanqiu knew that he was not joking, so she suddenly knelt on one knee and said: "If you, Your Majesty, can help me, our Huyan tribe will definitely make a solemn oath to never invade the Central Plains."
Xiao Chengyi said: "You can't control the affairs of future generations. All you see is the immediate interests. You have never thought about what the future of Mobei will be like?
I would like to ask you, why is the Royal Court provoking the Central Plains? Is it not that it covets the fertile land of the Central Plains? And its ambition to dominate the world?
Even if I support your Huyan tribe to dominate Mobei, what will happen after a hundred thousand years? Are you still going to fight to the death?
Whether it's Mobei or Huyan, it's just a name. Is it this name you want to protect, or your own inheritance behind this name?"
Hu Yanqiu was stunned. This was not the first time she heard this. Mu Yunan had said it before, and Feng Changling had also said it before.
She stayed in the Central Plains for three years and knew that the land there was vast and rich, and the people lived in peace and contentment without any worries.
But they only have grasslands and deserts in Mobei, and they also face the threat of wolves and the struggles of their tribesmen.
Could it be that her persistence was really wrong?
Xiao Chengyi also knew that his few words alone were not enough to make them realize their enlightenment.
He said: "I will seize the royal court, but not for your Huyan tribe, nor for your coercion, but for the sake of the people of the world, so that they can have a better life."
After saying that, he stood up and said: "Please think carefully about what I said."
With that said, Xiao Chengyi took Mu Yunan's hand and walked out.
Hu Yanqiu didn't stop her. She was a little confused. In fact, her mood had changed along the way. She began to examine whether she was really wrong?
She was thinking about what to do in order to truly do what was best for their people?
But she hasn't figured it out yet.
After they left, Hu Yanlie suddenly came to his senses, frowned and said, "Father Khan, what are we afraid of him for? This is Mobei, can he still pull out the sky?"
Just now, why didn't he realize it, and instead was suppressed by Xiao Chengyi?
Hu Yanshang sighed: "This man is extraordinary. He is not only the regent of Nanyue but also the royal family of Beichen. If he touches him, it will be a real disaster for us in Mobei."
Hu Yanqiu said: "Father Khan is right. If you want to cooperate with the regent, you must not be forceful. If he is pushed into a hurry, none of us will get any good results."
Hu Yanlie disagreed. Naturally, they had the final say in Mobei. How could Xiao Chengyi be allowed to show his prestige here?
He snorted and said, "You are afraid of him, but I am not."
Hu Yanshang heard this and warned him: "Lie'er, please don't mess around."
Hu Yanlie responded casually, and then Hu Yanshang asked: "How is the situation in the royal court?"
Hu Yanlie said: "This Prince Landu who was found is very popular with the king. Because of this, the king's health has improved a lot.
