Taiping Inn

There are also differences between Nayan and Nayan. All Nayan have fiefs, but there are real and fake ones. Yue Libie is nominally a hereditary thousand-household Nayan, with population and fiefs under her name, but these actually belong to the entire Yuejibie Khan family, so she cannot be considered a real Nayan with real power. In the eyes of outsiders, her every move represents the entire Yuejibie family. Now Yue Libie has asked the old Khan for a fiefdom, which, in the eyes of others, represents her desire to break away from the Yuejibie Khan family and establish her own family.

As expected, Yuejibie Khan has already looked at Yue Libie, with narrow eyes narrowed, and the meaning is unclear.

Yue Libie has kept her head down from beginning to end, as if she dared not look directly at the old Khan, but it also made it impossible for others to see the expression on her face.

"Fiefdom." The old Khan's face showed no emotion, "Yue Libie, you grew up in the Golden Tent, so, do you want to leave the royal court and your adoptive mother?"

There were as many as fifty Golden Tent dignitaries who came to Xiao Yanshi's palace today, but only twenty people could actually enter this hall. Excluding the Ten Kings and Li Xuandu, the Central Plains envoy, there were only nine places left. Yue Libie was among them, which showed that she was different from others in the royal court. It was because she was raised by Xiao Yanshi that, in a sense, she was not only the daughter of Yuejibe Khan's family, but also the adopted daughter of the old Khan. That was why the old Khan entrusted her with the important task of peace talks, and she had a former Qiexue Army captain as a guard. At the same time, it can be seen how arrogant and stupid Yaomu Huhan was who tried to kill Yue Libie. Because of this, Li Xuandu stopped this behavior. Not only did it not make Xiao Yanshi angry, but she had to thank Li Xuandu and sent Yue Niang to prevent her son from acting impulsively again.

Li Xuandu looked at Yaomu Huhan. The youngest king was holding a glass of wine to his lips. When he heard the news, he was stunned with a complicated expression.

Yue Libie lowered his head and replied, "Young birds always have to learn to leave the protection of their parents' wings and try to fly alone."

A smile appeared on the old Khan's face, "Very good, people with golden blood should dare to face the wind, frost, snow and rain. I will fulfill your wish and select a fiefdom with lush grass and water for you to graze and run horses. At the same time, I will also assign a thousand cavalry to you as your personal guards."

With a thousand cavalry and a fiefdom, Yue Libie is a real Na Yan, but the price is to go to the fiefdom, away from the power center of the royal court. From the perspective of the official system of the Central Plains, this is like going from a six-department official to a prefect of a place. Although the power has increased temporarily, in the long run, the future may stop here.

Yue Libie said loudly: "Thank you, Khan."

Li Xuandu knew that Yue Libie finally listened to his advice and decided to leave the royal court to avoid the upcoming chaos. However, Li Xuandu also lost an arm and could only rely on himself.

However, for Li Xuandu, he was not the kind of person who could always make the right choice coldly and ruthlessly, and he was inevitably influenced by his own emotions, so he still hoped to have a good beginning and a good end with this ally who was not an ally.

The old Khan no longer cared about Yue Libie's affairs, and said: "Today is Yanshi's birthday banquet, and we shouldn't talk about these political affairs, but Yue Libie is Yanshi's adopted daughter, so it's an exception."

This sentence blocked the way for others to take the opportunity to speak up, including Yuejibie Khan and Yaomuhu Khan, who could only swallow the words that were already on their lips.

The old Khan continued: "Today there are two protagonists, one is Yanshi, in the words of the Central Plains people, she is the birthday star, and the other is the good wine."

After that, the old Khan raised his glass first. The grassland dignitaries present followed suit and raised their glasses, and Li Xuandu was no exception.

Wine is the best help to add to the fun and bring people closer. Soon the atmosphere became warm, and including the kings, they all offered congratulations to the little Yanshi. It has to be admitted that in many cases, a woman's status depends on her husband's status. As long as the old Khan is alive, Xiao Yanshi is the mistress of the royal court. The kings who hold heavy troops must be respectful to her. But if the old Khan is gone, Xiao Yanshi may not have such a lofty status. Whether she can save her life is another matter. In the history of the Golden Horde, there are many favorite concubines of the Khan who were forced to commit suicide and be buried with the kings after the death of the Khan. So how Xiao Yanshi will be in the future depends on whether Yaomuhu Khan can successfully ascend to the throne of the Khan.

Li Xuandu suddenly figured it out. The emperors of all dynasties would build grand mausoleums, and even bury living people with them, hoping to become the emperor of the underworld after death. I think the old Khan can't escape the cliché. If there is no hope of prolonging his life, then the old Khan also wants Xiao Yanshi to accompany him to see Changshengtian. Thinking of this, Li Xuandu looked at this lively and grand birthday banquet again and felt full of irony.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xuandu had already drunk half a jar of wine, but his expression had not changed at all, and he was not drunk at all. He just looked at the kings present coldly.

From beginning to end, Ili Khan drank very moderately, which was incompatible with the Golden Tent who loved wine. Everyone was drunk but he was sober, and he was also observing Li Xuandu, with vigilance in his eyes.

Among the ten kings, three had military merits. In addition to Ili Khan and Batu Khan, there was Naiqi Khan. Therefore, Naiqi Khan had a good relationship with Ili Khan. He frequently toasted Ili Khan through Mingli Khan and Shigan Khan. Yuejibe Khan had a gloomy face and occasionally exchanged glances with Zixuebe Khan. As for Yaomuhu Khan, he drank one cup after another and was actually a little drunk. Compared with Yaomuhu Khan, Shigan Khan's drinking was very interesting. He drank a glass of wine for half an hour, and each time he just took a sip. But looking at the expression on his face, he was even more depressed, as if he was already drunk, which perfectly explained what "drinking to relieve sorrow only makes sorrow worse". Mingli Khan and Batu Khan happened to sit opposite each other. Their faces were neither happy nor angry, and they drank neither happily nor dissatisfied, making it impossible to tell what they were thinking.

This reminded Li Xuandu of the time when he was a child and secretly watched his master, uncle, uncle, and brothers drinking under the leadership of Li Yuanying. They looked harmonious on the surface, but they were calculating behind the scenes. They were drinking and chatting on the table, but they were fighting openly and secretly under the table. It seemed that there was order in terms of hierarchy, but in fact, the size of the fists was determined by the status. There were unwritten rules for who could say what. Li Yuanying said something at that time, which Li Xuandu still remembers vividly. He said, "This is more interesting than practicing swords." This may be the reason why Li Xuandu is three feet higher than Li Yuanying in swordsmanship, and it is also the reason why Li Yuanying became the leader of Qingwei Sect.

After a birthday banquet, there was no wind or waves. The kings and the Yans did not show their usual cruelty and brutality. Instead, they were like filial sons and grandsons, making the old man happy in their own way. This made Li Xuandu understand a truth. Let's not talk about whether there are relatives in the Tian family for the time being, but the people in the Tian family must be self-taught in acting and pretending.

The old Khan doesn't drink much. For his old body, alcohol and sex are really a knife that scrapes bones. He needs to learn to restrain himself, not indulge. At the end of a birthday banquet, the old Khan put down the wine glass in his hand and raised his arm. Xiao Yanshi naturally helped him up.

The kings, who seemed drunk but were actually paying attention to the old Khan's every move, immediately stood up. The old Khan smiled and said, "I'm old and can no longer stay up all night like when I was young. To be honest, I'm a little tired, but don't stop. After all, the kings haven't gathered together for some time. Take this opportunity to have a good drink between brothers, uncles and nephews."

With this sentence, the kings had no excuse to leave and could only sit back in their seats. For the old Khan, the birthday banquet was over, but for the kings, it had just begun.

Before the old Khan left, he whispered to Xiao Yanshi again, and Xiao Yanshi nodded.

After Xiao Yanshi saw the old Khan off, she returned quickly and came to Li Xuandu, saying, "Messenger, the old Khan wants you."

Li Xuandu was not surprised, because yesterday, the old Khan had asked Li Xuandu to give an answer after the birthday banquet. Li Xuandu stood up and said, "Yes."

From beginning to end, Li Xuandu only spoke three times, and each time he answered with a "yes".

Then Li Xuandu stood up and left under the gaze of the kings.
