From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 626

The vast grassland was covered with snow.

The cold wind swept, and the whole world was sobbing.

Luo Zhiyuan was wrapped in thick mink fur, riding on the horse's back, curled up into a ball, his face was red from the cold, and he kept shivering.

Li Yu'an was still wearing the same gray dress, her hair dancing in the wind, and she looked ahead quietly.

She said slowly: "In two days at most, we will be there."

Luo Zhiyuan's body was almost stiff, his lips were cracked, and he murmured: "Master... you promised that as long as I... I can hold on, you will accept me as your apprentice."

Li Yu'an said: "It's not difficult to hold on. This is just the basis for getting things done. What you have to do is to convince the Khoshut tribe to send troops to support."

Luo Zhiyuan's face fell. He really didn't have any confidence. Just relying on the identity of the descendant of the royal family of the Khoshut tribe, he could get them to send troops with empty words? That's nonsense!

But he didn't dare to say anything discouraging at this moment, so he could only laugh dryly and nod his head.

The two braved the wind and snow and headed north. Finally, on the third day, the weather was clear and they saw lakes and grasslands.

On the vast grassland, there were herds of cattle and sheep, horses were galloping, and yurts were densely distributed everywhere like stars.

Some people shouted, holding sabers, wearing thick hats, and rushed towards Li Yu'an and others.

Soon, they surrounded Li Yu'an and the others.

The grassland warriors who were originally ferocious and fierce, saw Li Yu'an's face, and they were dumbfounded.

Then they started to talk and rode around her on horses.

Li Yu'an said: "Come here to speak Chinese, I don't understand what you are saying."

Naturally, others couldn't understand her words.

However, for the Khoshut tribe, it was a very rare thing to have visitors, and they quickly reported it.

Then, a middle-aged man came on horseback, and when he saw Li Yu'an, his brows immediately frowned.

"Girl, who are you? Are you from Gansu Town?"

His Chinese was not standard, but it was understandable enough.

The Khoshut tribe often had connections with Gansu Town. When they were short of supplies, they also had to go to Gansu Town to buy them. This was the foundation that Luo Hong had laid.

Li Yu'an said: "I am an envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I want to see your Great Khan."

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment. After so many years of contact with the Han people, he had never seen a woman who could be an envoy.

But the next moment, he suddenly jumped off the horse, half-knelt on the ground, and pressed his chest with his right hand.

This was their highest etiquette.

Because Li Yu'an already held a golden knife in his hand, emitting a dazzling light in the sun.

The warriors jumped off their horses and half-knelt on the ground with respectful expressions.

Li Yu'an said, "Take me to see the Great Khan. I think you all know this golden sword."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man stood up and said in a deep voice, "My Lord Envoy, please follow me."

The two rode forward, walked out of the grassland and entered the city-state.

The scale here is the scale of a small town in Dajin, with sparse houses and dirty streets. Only the place near the royal court is cleaner.

Someone had already reported that a group of people were waiting when they entered the royal court.

A tall middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, a carved fur coat, and a fur hat, with wide eyes and full of momentum.

He took a deep look at the golden knife in Li Yu'an's hand, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, it is the sacred object of our Khoshut tribe. It is my aunt's thing."

"Back then, she followed Uncle Luo Hong to Dajin and settled in Shenjing. She only came back twice. I didn't expect that after decades, this golden knife would return to the grassland."

Li Yu'an said, "Not only the golden knife has returned, but also her only grandson."

King Baturhan looked at Luo Zhiyuan, and after a long silence, he shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't look like my aunt back then. Of course, with the golden knife, I won't doubt his identity."

"Boy, calculate the generation, you should be my cousin, what's your name?"

Luo Zhiyuan also countered the move, and hurriedly saluted in a proper manner: "Luo Zhiyuan greets my uncle!"

King Baturhan said, "He is indeed sensible, at least he is brave, and has the style of a man from my grassland."

Invited the two to sit down, poured tea, and after a round of greetings, finally got to the point.

King Baturhan said: "Miss Li, you came all the way to the Khoshut tribe, not just to take my nephew to find his relatives, right? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We and Dajin have always been friendly and helpful."

"Our Khoshut caravan set out for Gansu Town half a month ago to buy necessary supplies for the winter."

Li Yu'an smiled and said: "I did come here for a serious matter this time. Let me be frank, DajinJin wants to cooperate with the Khoshut tribe, help the Khoshut tribe, and unify the grassland. "

King Baturhan raised his eyebrows and looked around.

The maids and guards around him went out one after another and closed the door.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

King Baturhan said: "Miss Li, please say it again!"

Li Yu'an said: "The Mongolian tribes, mainly the Mongolians in the south and the Mongolians in the north, have caused great trouble to the Jin Dynasty."

"Now my Jin Dynasty is determined to completely wipe out their rule and help King Baturhan unify the grassland and achieve hegemony."

"This will also help the Mongolian and Jin sides to unite and peace, and there will be no more wars."

King Baturhan said: "My Mongolian tribes are indeed at odds, and each has its own disputes, but this does not mean that our Khoshut tribe will join the Jin Dynasty Han army to attack our own people. ”

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "Of course, we can't do that at ordinary times, but if we can unify the grassland and complete the hegemony, then the so-called principles can be compromised."

"Besides, who said that the Khoshut tribe colluded with the Han army to attack their own people? It was clearly the invasion of the Han army, and the Khoshut tribe stood up to unite the tribesmen and make peace. "

King Baturhan narrowed his eyes, and finally laughed, and said slowly: "I want to hear Miss Li's advice. Who made such a bold decision, and why do you have the confidence to convince me. "

Li Yu'an said: "Zhou Yuan, the Duke of Weiguo of the Great Jin Dynasty, sent me to discuss. He said that you will definitely agree, and if you agree, he will definitely help you. "

King Baturhan said: "I will definitely agree? Hahaha! I can't make up my mind myself!"

Li Yu'an said: "The Duke of Weiguo said that King Baturhan is only in his forties, which is the time when he is ambitious and ambitious, and it is also the age when a ruler should achieve great things. "

"As long as there is an opportunity, you will definitely seize it. You will not be willing to have no achievements in your life, and you will not be willing to stay in this bitter cold place."

"Expanding territory, unifying the grassland, establishing Mongolia's eternal hegemony, and becoming the largest Mongolian Khanate in history, this is your wish."

"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the nine borders of the Great Jin Dynasty and the elite of the five military camps are willing to help you realize this wish."

"As long as you send 30,000 cavalry from west to east, killing towards the grassland!"

King Baturhan's pupils shrank, and his breathing became heavy.

He grinned and said, "I won't agree, but I... can listen to the specific plan!"
