Realm of Power

"What are the imperial envoys doing here at this time?" Yelu Hongtai stood up with a surprised look on his face, glanced at the generals who had calmed down below, and walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back. The generals who were still arguing just now were also one by one. He immediately stopped talking and looked at Yelu Hongtai above. Everyone had one thought in their minds at the moment.

The people coming from the empire are not kind! ,

Yelu Qiyeguang defeated the Fengtai tribe in Hanshui and reversed the weak situation of the Yelu family in one fell swoop. However, after the victory, he held 30,000 Baihe troops of the Yelu family and did not return to the imperial capital. In the past few days, it caused fluctuations in the entire Yelu family. Because of an earthquake, this is naked forced labor. If there is no shadow of the emperor behind such behavior, who can believe it?

"What exactly does the Empire want to do!"

Yelu Hongtai turned around with an angry expression. The Yelu family reversed the situation in the battle of Hanshui River and even killed Mongolia in the end. This really made his heroic heart fluctuate a lot. The Yelu family was about to establish a country, and the righteousness was already there. Now The Battle of Hanshui turned things around, and the tribes that originally split from the Yelu family became a group of dragons. In the leaderless situation, if the Yelu family begins to move northward and recruits surrenders and rebels, it may not be impossible to return to the most powerful period in a short time. In the past few years, even when the Yelu family was at its strongest, it has never There has been such an excellent situation. Looking around, I am already invincible among the grassland forces.

Unlike before, there was still the North King's Court pressing on it. At this moment, the North King's Court had retreated to the northern grassland. It was said that they were inextricably killed by the Coldlanders who had escaped from the Coldland Circle. Instead of regaining their strength, they were killed several times. The Coldlanders had been beaten back step by step in the First World War. The northern border of the North Grassland had been completely wiped out by the Royal Court. No one knew how many Coldlanders had entered the North Grassland area that had been vacated due to tribal migration.

Yelu Hongtai still knows a little about the fighting power of the people from the cold area. The Yelu family has served the royal court for more than a hundred years. How could they not know how tough the people from the cold area are? It is said that the grassland people are hungry wolves in the northern wind. So the cold people People are definitely in the far north Winter bears, the more harsh the environment, the tougher the race, and the cold people are undoubtedly an extreme nation created by the extremely harsh environment. They are tall and have natural powers. In the cold area, where there is a lack of iron, they can survive with just the help of their strength. Just a simple weapon Having fought with the ferocious beasts on the cold ice fields for thousands of years, the grassland people mount their horses and draw bows at the age of eight, and go to the battlefield at the age of thirteen or fourteen. They are already considered precocious. However, by the time they are thirteen or fourteen, most men from the cold areas are already experienced. Rich warriors, even already a family Lord, because the life of people in the cold area is too short. People in the grassland are considered to have longevity over fifty years old, while people in the cold area are considered long-lived when they are around forty years old. In a tribe, except for a few people who are fifty years old There are almost no people with high status,

For thousands of years, even the mighty prairie royal court had to be careful to stop the mighty people from going south. At this moment, it was like a torrent pouring into the vacant northern grassland. Such a scene, even Yelu Hongtai could not stand it. I feel trembling in my heart, but this trembling is even more exciting about the situation in front of me. Even if Beiwangting was not beaten by the cold people, After the collapse, there is no way to return to the original situation. Looking around, the Fengtai tribe was defeated. The Yelu family is undoubtedly the strongest among the grassland forces. In order to seize the chance to rise in troubled times, Yelu Hongtai dared to take the risk of instigating 300,000 grassland tribesmen. Following him crazily south, fighting his way through all the obstacles, now seeing such a perfect situation right in front of him,

It is absolutely impossible to say that Yelu Hongtai is not moved at all. He even has plans to immediately take back the command of the 30,000 Baihe troops once Yelu Qiyeguang returns to the imperial capital. Although the command of the 30,000 Baihe troops, He has been awarded Yelv Seven Night Lights by his own order, but the Baihe pro-army itself is Yelu. As a direct descendant of the Lu family, as long as you are still the head of the Yelu family, you have the right to take back the Baihe troops. Even the emperor has no right to accuse yourself. As long as you take back the command of the 30,000 Baihe troops, the Yelu family will still have the power. In his own hands, but he didn’t expect that the emperor would see through this.

After the Battle of Hanshui River, Yelu Qiye did not return to the imperial capital, so all his arrangements were in vain.

Such a method can be regarded as making Yelu Hongtai frown. The Yelu family turned around in the Han River, but now the military power is not in their hands. This is what Yelu Hongtai feels most anxious about. He originally thought that the empire would support the Yelu family to establish a country. Coupled with the victory of Hanshui River, it is just right Soaring into the sky, it is possible to expel the North Royal Court to the north, but now, everything has become chaotic because of Yelu Qiyeguang's seizure of power. Behind the seeming contradiction of the empire's support and suppression of the Yelu family, there is a pull and a pull. Pull it, and suppress Yelu Hongtai's pulsating ambition again,

Yelu Hongtai felt like a long sword that was about to be unsheathed. The emperor gently pressed it and inserted it back into the sheath. The feeling of frustration made his eyes red these days.

"Even if it's an empire, I don't believe we can get these generals to voluntarily hand over their power!"

Yelu Hongtai took a deep breath, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes. Since the empire wanted to use the Yelu Seven Night Lights to suppress the Yelu family, he could also use these elders of the Yelu family to give the empire a headache. The most powerful person in history The alternation of old and new, most of them are flashes of swords and shadows, and rivers of blood. If you want to make these elders of the Yelu family It is so easy for people to give up the interests and power they have gained. If the Yelu family was still in the same decline, or if these generals had no hope, they would have handed over power themselves, but it is different now. Everyone has seen the hope that the Yelu family will rise again, how can they still be willing to release their interests!

No one would do it

Yelu Hongtai was about to move in his heart. He glanced coldly at the angry generals below. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yelu Hongtai didn't believe that his daughter would really do it for the Yelu family. The power of Yelu Qi will offend the entire Yelu family. If this is really done, Yelu Qi's biggest trump card, the 30,000 Baihe soldiers who are inextricably linked to the Yelu family, will collectively rebel against Yelu Qi. Ye Guang must eventually be in a great chaos. Even if the empire takes action to suppress it, the Yelu family will have been completely changed. Not to mention becoming the spokesperson of the empire in the Zhongbia region, I am afraid that they want to suppress Zhongbia in the south. Yadu is having a hard time. Yelu Hongtai doesn't believe that the emperor of the empire can't see this. The special envoy sent at this moment should be the final showdown. Anyway, he also wants to see what the empire's trump card is against the Yelu family!

Yelu Hongtai said to the guard who came in to report, "Let the imperial envoy come in! I also want to see what the empire wants to do with my Yelu family." After hearing Yelu Hongtai's words, the generals all looked like He looked towards the door of the hall as if he were in a state of shock, wanting to see who the imperial envoy was.

Soon, a strong young man walked into the main hall under the leadership of the guard with a trembling figure. He looked obviously frightened to the extreme. He lowered his head. The generals of the Yelu family all cheered. I wanted to take a look at the face of this imperial envoy with my eyes, but this envoy was so scared that he wanted to clamp his head On the shoulder, everyone couldn't see his face at all. Finally, someone was so angry that he stretched out a foot on the path that the special envoy must pass. This foot was quite fast and caught off guard. No one would have expected that there was someone. Dare to do this, obviously, the imperial envoy who lowered his head and did not look at anyone did not expect it, and he was immediately tripped by this kick,

"Ah" a scream was heard, and the imperial envoy rolled on the ground. At this moment, all the Yelu family generals' eyes fell on this so-called imperial envoy. No matter how hard the other party tried to hide it, they couldn't hide it. Immediately, the face of this imperial envoy was noticed by everyone. It turned out to be the face of a prairie man! Realizing that he had been seen by everyone, the imperial envoy immediately knelt on the ground and shouted sternly, "Master, I was forced to come here. I really didn't betray the Yelu family!" In this scene, Everyone was stunned. The mouths that were about to open their mouths to curse suddenly froze.

What's going on? Not only were the generals dumbfounded, but when they saw the face of this so-called imperial envoy, even Yelu Hongtai's eyes, which had originally wanted to see the imperial envoy make a fool of himself, suddenly opened their eyes at this moment, and he let out a heavy groan from his nose, which was so loud. The roof of the palace is about to be overturned.

"Wupang, what the hell are you doing!

"Wupang, it's really Wupang!" Someone inside the general also made an alarmed voice.

"What's going on? This Wu Pang is obviously the captain of my Yelu family, but why did he turn around and become the emperor's special envoy!"

"Wupang, have you betrayed the Yelu family and defected to the empire?" Most of the generals recognized this so-called imperial envoy. This person was not an emperor at all, but a member of the Baihe army of the Yelu family. A captain named Wupang, who was from the Wuna tribe under the Yelu family, fought with the army in Baihe. The status inside is not high, but she is very close to the Yelu family. Wu Pang’s mother was the woman who married the Yelu family and the Wuna tribe. Under the scolding of everyone, Wu Pang looked pale and humble. He shook his head, and the whole hall was in chaos at this moment. The generals were slobbering all over the place, just like rain,

Wu Pang knelt on the ground, his head resting on the cold ground, his whole body was trembling, and he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

"What the hell is going on?" Yelu Hongtai's eyes flashed sharply, and he swept them several times like a knife. He did not know how many times he turned around in his mind. Although Wu Pang was a bit arrogant in Yelu's family, he definitely had no courage. Big enough to dare to pretend to be an imperial envoy and come to the main hall The courage to tease everyone, not to mention several generals in the hall, and even this person's uncle. If according to the clan rules, the consequences of offending the elders in this way will be quite tragic. Even if he ordered his execution, no one would Stand up and say something that shouldn’t be done! If Wu Pang is seeking death on his own, but he has no reason to do so,

Could it be that Wu Pang was really the imperial envoy? Thinking of this, Yelu Hongtai's cheeks twitched, and his eyes were filled with intense confusion. What did the emperor mean by just sending a commander under his command at such a critical moment? Could it be that the Emperor of the Empire was just trying to tease himself?

Impossible. Yelu Hongtai himself denied this. Although the emperor of the empire was young, no matter his invincible military ability or his powerful control over the situation in Central Asia, he was the most powerful person that Yelu Hongtai thought he had ever seen. A terrible person. Such a person will never come to joke with the Yelu family at such a critical moment again.

"Are you really the imperial envoy?" Yelu Hongtai waved his hands to the generals, and the hall became calm again.

"I don't know if it's true, but the empire asked me to send something to the Imperial Capital." Wu Pang dared to raise his head at this moment, his voice trembling, and his face was crying. It was only after he entered the Imperial Capital that he realized that he had been pressed. Imperial envoy title , this poor Baihe pro-army commander almost fainted. The people in the grassland hated traitors the most. Moreover, the Yelu family had just experienced a split within the group, and they hated traitors even more. Wu Pang didn't even dare to think of going up there himself. What will happen if I enter the main hall? I could only lower my head desperately, hoping to get over it, and leave as soon as I handed over the thing. Unexpectedly, I still didn't recognize it.

"What?" Yelu Hongtai frowned slightly. He had a hunch that what the empire could send at this moment would definitely affect the hearts of the entire Yelu family.

"It's half a million imperial gold coins. Because they were too heavy, they were all placed outside the hall." Wu Pang said quickly, with a strange look on his face. He seemed to want to say something more, but when he looked around, the generals were stunned. face, mouth opened, and finally Finally, he gritted his teeth and continued, "The empire said that it is willing to use these one million imperial gold coins to buy all the Central and Asian slaves in the Imperial Capital area." After saying this, Wu Pang immediately lowered his head to the ground. I don't dare to lift it up anymore.

The entire hall was in deathly silence at the moment.

Storm, storm is coming soon,

Wu Pang trembled in his heart and said to himself. He didn't know how he got the words out of his mouth. There were nearly ten million Zhongbia people in the entire Imperial Capital area. When the Yelu family captured the Imperial Capital, there were only three or four Zhongbia slaves. Millions, but with the expansion of the Yelu family area, slaves robbed from all over the country are also concentrated in the Imperial Capital area, and gradually With a scale of tens of millions, the Yelu family only needs to control the Imperial Capital area to maintain the foundation of the Yelu family. This is because 80% of the population controlled by the Yelu family is in the Imperial Capital area, and the empire wants to use 500,000 The imperial gold coins bought tens of millions of Central and Asian slaves. This is not crazy, but the one who sent them was himself.

Now Wu Pang didn't dare to move at all. He knew that if eyes could kill, he would have been cut into pieces by the eyes of the generals.

It can be regarded as knowing why he was chosen. The reason is very simple. If it weren't for his relationship with the Yelu family and he was not the captain of the Yelu family, he would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs by Yelu Hongtai's order. This is really I didn't want to come here. If I want to blame it, I blame the fat man from China and Bia who singled me out.

"The empire has gone too far!" Yelu Hongtai slapped his palm on the table with an angry expression.

The generals also went crazy. They gnashed their teeth and cursed. When they were not happy with the scolding, they simply kicked Wu Pang, who was curled up on the ground. One person's kick was not enough, and soon it became a group of people kicking him. Fortunately, Wu Pang's body was strong. , the whole body curled up into a ball, it can be regarded as thick skin and thick flesh, otherwise I am afraid that I will be trampled to death. At this time, who can Regardless of whether he is the captain of the Yelu family or not, just think of him as a special envoy to spread the word for the empire. Everyone is angry in their hearts because of the noise: "Crazy, the empire must be crazy, even the suzerain country does not bully people like this! Just five people Wanting tens of millions of our Central and Eastern slaves for just one hundred thousand gold coins is simply a fantasy!”

"What does the empire mean?" Yelu Hongtai turned away from his anger and looked north. At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open again, and a guard ran in nervously and took a look. In the extremely chaotic scene, I hesitated for a moment when I looked at Wu Pang, who was trampled by the generals and covered with shoe marks.

Yelu Hongtai saw this, waved his hands in annoyance, and said in a solemn voice, "What's the matter?"

"I just got the news that the Fengtai tribe was exterminated!" The guard gritted his teeth and said bravely. As soon as he finished speaking, Yelu Hongtai stood up from his seat and blinked, as if he didn't hear clearly. , asked again with blood-red eyes, "What did you just say!"

"I just got the news that the Fengtai tribe was exterminated. The entire clan, old, young, women and children, totaling more than 230,000, were strangled by various clans. Not a single one was left!" The guard's face was pale. Under Yelu Hongtai's gaze, he couldn't bear the pressure. He knelt on the ground and repeated it loudly. This time, Yelu Hongtai heard it clearly, and the generals who were venting their anger also heard it clearly.

"What did you just say, Fengtai Department... was destroyed?" A general opened his eyes in disbelief. All the voices stopped at this moment. It seemed that even the air was stressful. That was enough The Fengtai tribe that challenges the status of the Yelu family is still the leading tribe even on the northern grassland, not to mention the reputation of the descendants of the Jin family, which makes them respected by all tribes on the prairie. But now, Hanshui Only a few days after the defeat, the clan was exterminated? Thinking of this, the generals felt a chill on their backs. It was sweat that wet their clothes. Most of the grassland with more than 200,000 people disappeared silently?

"Who gave the order?" Yelu Hongtai's eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and his fingers holding the armrests were also creaking. He didn't believe that the tribes were strangling the Fengtai tribe. He knew that these tribes were standing in the camp of the Fengtai tribe. Even if the Fengtai tribe was defeated, there was no need to do so. Moreover, the Fengtai tribe was powerful. If they wanted to strangle it, it would be very costly, unless... Yelu Hongtai's breathing suddenly became heavier. "It was the empire, the emperor of the empire gave the order to the tribes." The guards immediately made the whole hall silent. Yelu Hongtai and the generals immediately knew what the 500,000 imperial gold coins meant! The empire could destroy the Fengtai tribe, and naturally it could also destroy the Yelu family. These 500,000 gold coins seemed to buy the Yelu family's millions of Central Asian slaves, but in fact they were just a step down for the Yelu family!
