If he could get Siberia, he could basically set foot in North America by land and smoothly reach South America. The pattern of the world in the future would change greatly. At least there would not be a powerful Russia and the United States, and the Chinese Empire would span the three major states of Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Of course, Yang Ling did not forget the south. If he could get Manchuria and Yizhou merchants, their merchant ships would continue to expand the ocean area. The discovery of Australia would not be far away. Such a lofty goal was not difficult to achieve after Yang Ling stabilized the country and was vigorously developing the industry and commerce.
Now there was only one problem, and that was population. Ming Destiny's population would be too small compared to such a huge country in the future. Yang Ling planned to suggest to the emperor to encourage a large number of population after returning to the pass. The current food production and the opening of sea trade provided a sufficient economic foundation for the rapid economic development.
At the same time, the mortality rate of the population was too high. It was necessary to organize a group of famous doctors to develop a set of medical and health measures from pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding to growth to reduce the high infant mortality rate.
The Duke of Wei, who had originally planned to settle the issue of the grasslands and become an idle noble, touring the mountains and rivers with his beautiful wives and concubines, had an even greater goal in his heart. He was once again filled with fighting spirit.
In the past, Yang Ling had only wanted to leave the impoverished Yang Jiaping and find an estate for his beloved wife during his short life, so that she would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. When he and his young mother walked out of the poor mountain valley hand in hand, he had never thought that he would be able to step into the imperial court and find an official position, much less such a grand plan.
A person's vision and ambition were constantly revised and changed along with the rise of strength and status. Now, when his status was unparalleled, when the country was full of vitality, from the world's number one country to a powerful country, was developing by leaps and bounds, his vision also saw a more distant future.
This was the case for him, for the court of Ming Destiny, and for the officials of the court. The development of industry and commerce and the exchange of the four seas were bound to broaden their horizons. This huge country would no longer be content with the status quo. It would make them understand that China was not the only perfect paradise in the world. The Four Barbarians were not some desolate, backwater barbarians who were as backward as savages.
Once this powerful country took the initiative to develop and expand, what else in the world could they not conquer?
However, in order to accomplish all this, the first step was to pacify the north, uproot Boyan and the Fire Sieve, and stabilize this grassland. In order to achieve this, the Three Duoyan Guards, as a member of the Mongolian people and the strongest military force outside the Great Wall, had to be unified and under the control of the imperial court.
How many powerful forces had perished in internal strife? From the Duoyan Guards to the Ming Destiny Empire, it had given it a chance to prosper. If it was not given the ambitious goal to expand outwards, then its strength could only be used for internal friction.
From Cheng Qiyun, Yang Ling learned more about the situation in the north. Now, the small Tartar Khaganates in Siberia were constantly fighting among themselves. The cause was the incessant incitement of the Rossi Empire's queen. As a result, these small khaganates, which were far more powerful than the Rossi Empire, were now in constant internal strife.
It was estimated that in another ten years, these small khaganates would be unable to withstand a single blow from the internal strife. Yang Ling did not understand the history of the Rossi Empire's expeditions to the east and the destruction of these khaganates. However, from the information he had, it was likely that the small Rossi Empire had become the Great Russia and occupied the enormous Siberia.
However, this beautiful queen, who had the noblest royal bloodline in all of Europe, the princess of the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Sophia, was probably going to be the wedding dress for someone else. The main ruler of the Eastern Empire no longer saw this place as a barren land, and Yang Ling was already eyeing this place covetously.
This beautiful and elegant Queen, perhaps just when she was feeling pleased with herself for succeeding in her plan, would see a handsome Oriental man called Yang Ling appear at her palace banquet, wearing a python robe and a jade belt. Moreover, he would invite this beautiful and elegant Queen to dance with him. As for whether he would invite her to do the Yangge or the Waltz, it would all depend on the mood of this Oriental noble.
Now, Yang Ling set off for the Duoyan Guards.
The public news was that the Great Ming's Duke of Wei's ceremonial procession was heading towards Rolling River. He was going there to meet with the leaders of Nu's son's City Secretary. In order to receive this honorable Duke, the leaders of Nu's son's City Secretary could not participate in Queen Yin Qi's Damu Assembly. Hence, Commander Wei Lian received an order from Nu's son's City Secretary to participate in the Damu Assembly organized by the Three Guards of Duo Yan and congratulate Queen Yin Qi on her engagement. This was because her husband would be born during this assembly.
Lian Yunshu brought along three thousand elite soldiers, but their actual purpose was to coordinate with Yang Ling. They disguised themselves as the shadows, but in reality, they were there to ensure his safety. As for Yang Ling himself, he disguised himself as a big merchant. This assembly itself was a good opportunity to do business.
Now, all the tribes on the grassland outside the Great Wall knew about the two most powerful merchants. One of them was Han Lin, who was expanding towards the Western Region and Wala. His foundation was in Datong. The other was Cheng Qiyun. Her foundation was in the Liaoyang Guards. Her business covered the three tribes of Jurchen, the three tribes of Duoyan, the Tartars of Bayan, and even Korea and Japan.
Of course, these tribes outside the borders did not know their true identities and names, but every one of them was friendly to merchants like them, and they even took the initiative to protect their safety. This made Cheng Qiyun very certain of Yang Ling's safety.
After living outside the Great Wall for a period of time, every Han would know how much the Mongols thirsted for Han textiles, food, tools, ironware, and household utensils. When food ran out at the turn of winter and spring, some herdsmen even used whole animal skins or even took off their leather clothes in exchange for a little food to quench their hunger.
As for the iron pots that they urgently needed, some people even used horses to exchange for pots. However, they still could not obtain them. Because the imperial court was worried that they would use the iron to smelt weapons, they were very cautious about the export of these things. In reality, they did not understand frying at all. If the iron pots were broken, they would try their best to repair them. If they were damaged or rusted, they could only abandon them in the wilderness. As for ordinary poor herdsmen, several families even used one pot to cook.
There were even some families who wanted to marry off their daughters and break one pot into two, using it as the most valuable dowry. Thus, each family used half of the pot to cook food. They were fierce and cruel when they pillaged and pillaged at the borders. However, when they roamed the grasslands and struggled to survive against the heavens, they were also full of bitterness.
As for cloth, especially the brick tea that they could not live without, they could not be obtained outside the Central Plains. Merchants like Han Lin and Cheng Qiyun, who had eyes and ears everywhere, could avoid the inspection of the officials and bring these urgently needed daily necessities to exchange for cattle, sheep, donkeys, and large amounts of furs, manes, and other animal products.
These nomadic tribes naturally had the same goal. They would not allow anyone to harm them and cut off their own path of survival. Thus, even the Mongolian nobles treated the merchants, who still had a very low status in the interior, with great respect.
Yang Ling's plan had been briefly mentioned to Cheng Qiyun. Not only did Cheng Qiyun have to immediately find a way to deploy according to Yang Ling's intentions, but she also had to change the original plan.
Cheng Qiyun had never mentioned to Yang Ling some of the things she had done in the dark. Yang Ling was concerned about the country, the imperial court, and the fate of the Han people. Cheng Qiyun was just an ordinary woman. She only cared about her lover, his future and fate.
Since ancient times, the Emperor's family had done too many things, such as hiding the good bow, cooking the cunning rabbit, and cooking the hound. Yang Ling was already an extremely powerful official, and his power was unparalleled, while the Emperor was gradually growing up. Could he continue to rely on and favor Yang Ling? To be prepared for danger in times of peace, Cheng Qiyun had to plan for her man's future.
She had been afraid of the cold since she was a child. Why did she have to run to the border and send Yu Yong to Yizhou to make things easier for herself? Was it really just for business? She had done even more things in secret.
In her original plan, Bayan must be destroyed, but the Wala tribe could only be weakened and not destroyed. Only by nurturing bandits could Yang Ling be placed in an important position. She spared no effort in providing a large amount of financial support to Red Lady, and even secretly formed a mercenary army independent of the imperial court. All of this was to deal with the current situation, and to pave the way for Yang Ling's future.
Sometimes when she thought about it bitterly, Yang Ling was a man who had been influenced by Confucian culture since he was a child. Now, he was favored by the emperor and was an extremely high official. Which of his privileges was not bestowed by the current emperor? If he knew that she had such rebellious thoughts and had done so many things in secret, perhaps he would kill her in a rage?
But she was just a little girl. Country, people, righteousness, people, these things and these people had nothing to do with her. These people and the imperial court had not done anything worthy of her.
Once, there was a selfish and vicious Dai Lou'er who was only willing to live for herself. Now, there was a Cheng Qiyun who had given her true feelings and only lived for her own man. Even if she was misunderstood by him, hurt by him, or even died for him, she had no regrets.
Every time she met Yang Ling, she hungrily begged for his love because she did not know when he would see through all the things she had done in secret, and she would lose him forever. She never had any extravagant hopes, nor did she propose to formally marry into the Yang Family and become his legitimate woman. This was also because she did not know how long the happiness of finally getting a true man would last.
She was afraid that her sinister methods would one day cause Yang Ling to give her the cold shoulder. She was even more afraid that her clearly disloyal actions to the imperial court would cause fear in his heart, and he might even kill her to protect himself. Thus, she did not even dare to have a son. It was just so that when someone had to make a sacrifice, he would not have too many burdens and could not bear to do so.
She understood this man too well. For his family, he could fight against the entire world, and bear all the misfortune, but he would not let his family suffer even the slightest bit of harm. Once she had his flesh and blood, they would be able to fuse together. If anything were to happen to her, he would no longer be able to stay out of it. At that time, if even he could not handle it, it would be the day when the Yang Family would fall.
Thus, she had always been on the boundary between lover and woman, restraining the beautiful wish of being a wife and a mother. After having sex with Yang Ling, she would always use the secret method of the brothel to prevent pregnancy. And after Yang Ling fell asleep, she would think of these sorrowful feelings. How many times had she tossed and turned, and how many times had her clothes been soaked with tears?
There were three thousand beautiful poems. Who knew the exquisite thoughts in her heart? Did Yang Ling know that she had sacrificed so much for him and his family's happiness and long-term?
This girl, who was like water, had suffered misfortune at a young age, and had gone through many hardships. She had used her beauty and intelligence to fight against fate her entire life. When her heart finally belonged to someone, she had given herself to Yang Ling without reservation. Now, she was using her thin and weak shoulders to take on the responsibility of ensuring his future happiness and stability, even at the risk of losing his favor.
Now, a sudden idea from Yang Ling had opened up a new blueprint for him to strive for. It also allowed Cheng Qiyun to completely put down the heavy burden of thinking.
If his idea could be realized, then there would be a way for him to live up to the king's kindness. At the same time, he could obtain a safe and long-term position for himself. She would also not have to rack her brains for his future and secretly do many things that were not allowed by the law or the righteousness of the king. She would also not have to worry about him being angry with her and abandoning her.
Cheng Qiyun was very happy, really very happy.
When the Duoyan Guards arrived, it was already dusk. The mountains had been dyed dark green.
The dim yellow sunlight shrouded this endless prairie. The wind blew the grass low, and in the wind, the bleating of sheep, mooing of cows, and neighing of horses mixed together to form a desolate rhythm. Then, flocks of sheep, herds of cows, and herds of horses came from the waves of grass like an avalanche.
What a beautiful and majestic picture it was! What a sad and desolate love song it was.
Black cows, yellow horses, and white sheep galloped majestically through the green grass. Yang Ling opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the lively scene. His face flashed with excitement, and his eyes also flashed with light. What a magnificent scene this was! What a magnificent world this was! Looking at such a scene, even his heart seemed to suddenly open up a lot.
Cheng Qiyun also walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage. She snuggled into Yang Ling's arms like a little bird. Singing came from afar. The singing was loud and desolate. They could not understand what they were singing, but their emotions could not help but be affected.
If they continued forward, it would be a boundless prairie. On this prairie, there were several vultures, tigers, and wolves that could break into the Great Ming Dynasty's homeland at any time. They would bite humans and animals, and destroy the city. When they were eliminated, this place would become the Great Ming Dynasty's garden. A smooth road would pass through this place and head further north, extending endlessly all the way to the North Pole …
Yang Ling looked and thought. His heart was filled with excitement and longing.
Cheng Qiyun gently held his arm and snuggled into the arms of the man she loved deeply. Her eyes were also filled with longing and hope. This place must be completely resolved and turned into a peaceful paradise. Then, there would be a bright future waiting for them. They would always be by the side of the man they loved, and they would have a few children with him …
Cheng Qiyun's heart palpitated and her heart was intoxicated. This girl who was like water, her face glowed with a strange beauty. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her indescribably beautiful face. That pair of sparkling eyes suddenly turned into two pools of pure and mellow fine wine …..
* * *
The Duoyanwei's encampment was in a semi-urban area. It did not have high walls or trenches. There were large and small Mongolian yurts scattered everywhere. Those were the herdsmen's residences and markets. In the middle, there were tall houses made of bricks. Those were the residences of the nobles. The most luxurious house in the middle was King Shunming's palace.
Now that the Queen of the Duoyanwei was going to choose her lifelong companion at the Damu Assembly, there were all kinds of people mixed together. Therefore, the residences of the nobles and the nobles were heavily guarded. Therefore, even though Yang Ling was disguised as the most popular merchant among the herdsmen and was the number one merchant in Liaodong, Second Master Cheng, he was still not allowed to enter.
Cheng Qiyun had several large Mongolian yurts in the area. The herdsmen's residences and merchants' residences were actually the residences of her guards. Now that Yang Ling was here, the surrounding security was even tighter. As soon as she, Yang Ling, and the guards moved in, the surrounding yurts immediately entered a state of tight security.
Adni, who was overseeing the situation and making an emergency response, could not help but be overjoyed when she heard that Yang Ling had personally come. She was listening to the report from her subordinates near the market closest to the nobles' residences. As soon as she heard about Yang Ling, she immediately rushed out of the house, mounted her horse, and rushed to Cheng Qiyun's tent.
It was common for women on the grassland to gallop on their horses, but Adeni, who had a black veil over her face and an enchanting figure, had a fiery figure that combined wildness and charm. Such a beautiful woman still made the eyes of the men in the market light up. But seeing the dozens of fierce and murderous warriors following closely behind her, no one dared to come forward to strike up a conversation.
"Such a coquettish and charming woman, perhaps she is the wife of a noble lord? To have such a fine horse under my crotch, it's really f * * king ecstasy! "The men could only watch her galloping figure and swallow their saliva.
Night fell and the starlight rose over the grassland. The moonlight made the waves of grass look like the clear waves of the blue sea. Compared to the vast and boundless grassland, the white tents that dotted the endless grassland suddenly became small, but the lights and the starlight reflected each other, making it seem so poetic.
King Shun Ming's residence was brightly lit. There were no decorations and the huge living room was like a palace. There was a raging fire burning in the center of the hall. On the metal racks, several whole sheep were roasted until they shone and there was a rich smell of meat everywhere.
The Mongolian women were singing and dancing. They wore brightly colored robes with large sleeves. Their soft hair was tied into countless tiny braids that hung over their shoulders like flowing water, and they wore small and brightly colored hats on their heads.
Today, the leader of the Fuyu Guard, Bai Yin, had already arrived with her troops. Tomorrow, Tai Ning Guard's Aguda Mu would also arrive. The day after tomorrow, the Damu Assembly would begin. The entire tribe seemed to have forgotten about the strife and intrigue between the three guards. There was peace and joy everywhere.
The ordinary people did not know so much inside information. They only knew that the three guards had made peace and that the Queen would choose one of the young heroes from the three guards to be her husband. The three guards of Wuliangha were backed by Ming Destiny and were already the wealthiest tribe in the grassland. With the three guards forming a strong alliance, they would be rich and powerful. Other tribes would not dare to come and rob their cattle and sheep.
If there was a banquet, there would be wine and meat, and there would be singing and dancing. Bai Yin's subordinates and Queen Yinqi's main generals were all nobles who owned many cattle, sheep, horses and slaves. At this moment, they were the hosts of the banquet. They drank from big bowls, raised their knives to cut the meat, shouted loudly, and urged each other to drink. In the midst of the noise, there were already a large pile of wine jars that were either standing or overturned.
Bayar ate until he was sweating and his face was red. He stretched out his greasy hands and tore off a large piece of fat sheep leg that weighed at least three catties. The sheep meat was tender and delicious, and the fragrance assailed his nostrils. Bayar buried his head in the meat and chewed for a while. Then, he grabbed a bowl of wine and gulped it down. He looked around and asked in a drunken state, "Where's the Queen? Why isn't she drinking with everyone? "
His cheeks were covered in meat juice, and his beard was still dripping with wine juice. Bai Yin's subordinate, Sousa, raised a bowl of strong wine and laughed, "Bayar, you were so engrossed in eating that the Queen and our Leader Bai Yin have already gone to the backyard. Why are you only asking now?"
"Ah!" Bayar suddenly realized and laughed, "Then they must have gone to discuss the marriage. Really, can't they just hold a wedding? Why do they have to invite Damu away and have a public duel? "
Sousa stroked his beard and laughed, "Yinqi is the Queen and has a noble status. How can she just marry her? Although our Leader Bai Yin's son is a well-known young hero in the grassland, he is still an eagle with tender wings. He doesn't have the prestige to spread his wings and soar into the sky. During the Damu Assembly, it would be a glorious marriage for her husband to show off his prowess in front of the heroes of the various tribes. "
"Hahaha, not bad. I didn't expect a crude man like you to be so much more meticulous than me. Once our Queen is married, our two families will be one family. Come, Brother Sousa, let's have another bowl. "
"Cheers! Come, everyone, for the sake of our two families becoming one, cheers! "
Everyone responded in unison, and the hall was filled with another round of toasts.
There was actually a study in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, even though Hua Dang had never been good at reading.
This was the area where most of the Han people lived and interacted with each other. Moreover, because the Hua clan had always been respectful, the trade between the Great Ming Dynasty and this area was more relaxed. The lives of the common people were better. Many houses had Han style furniture, and some people even wore Han clothes. This was especially true for women. Compared to the style of Mongolian robes, they preferred to wear Han women's clothes. This was especially true for women from noble families. Most of them wore Han silk clothes at home. This was the fashion.
When Hua Dang built this house, he built a study in the backyard just like the Han people did. Usually, he only used it to drink with his friends. Bai Yin was a frequent visitor here, and now, he was sitting in front of the kang. Opposite him was a guest who was just like him, slightly thin and had a cunning look in his eyes.
Queen Yin Qi sat in the middle. Looking at the two similar people, she could not help but feel a trace of disgust. Bai Yin used to be her father's think tank, and was most relied on by Hua Dang. Yin Qi also respected this uncle, and admired his wit. However, after Hua Dang's death, Bai Yin became more and more obvious, even undisguised greed and arrogance. This completely subverted the image of this elder in her heart.
"God bless me, bless me to succeed. I can't take it anymore. This old fox is forcing me more and more openly. Compared to him, Aguda Mu is much cuter. I can't protect the foundation and people that father left me to take care of. Whether they will be annexed or not depends on this one move. "
Yin Qi thought absent-mindedly. Bai Yin, who thought he had completely grasped this ignorant little girl, was actually arguing with the envoy opposite him as the head of the Duoyan Guards.
"Lord Meng En, what you mean is that we should join hands and attack the Northern Kingdom's King, Yang Ying, while the other tribes think that there won't be any war, and their defenses will be lax. Then, we'll divide the Horan River? Then, we will deal with Bayan together, subdue this ferocious beast, and share this vast grassland? "
"Yes!" Meng En nodded solemnly. He was the special envoy of the Great Khan of Wala, Yi Bula, and their representative. The fact that the three of them were able to sit here and negotiate with each other meant that they had a good understanding of each other's intentions. Therefore, he firmly believed that Yin Qi and Bai Yin were interested in their proposal.
Meng En said solemnly, "Lord Bai Yin, you should believe in our sincerity. The Wa and the Tartars are enemies that can never be reconciled. The Tartars rely on their tyrannical force to force our Great Khan to live in a tent. He can only call it a residence and not a palace. His crown cannot exceed four fingers, and he is even allowed to kneel but not sit.
These extremely humiliating orders could not be washed away without their blood. Once we eliminate his assistant, Yang Ying from the Central Plains White Army, we can free up our hands to deal with Bayan Mengke. This is in line with our mutual interests. "
Bai Yin laughed coldly, "Of course, but we will never forget the once arrogant Wa Tribe. Why did the descendants of the Heavenly Sacred Khan end up like this? It's because Yismaayin led your Wala army to invade and plunder our Wuliangha's three guards, but the Tatars cut off your retreat and beat you until you lost your helmets and stripped off your armors. You fled in panic all the way to the west, and from then on you were unable to recover.
After Yismaayin was shot dead by the Tartars' Tuohuo Chi, your vitality was greatly damaged, and you had no choice but to submit to the Golden Clan Khagan. Now, it is our Hua Dang Prince who has dealt a heavy blow to Bayan and shaken their foundation. Only then can you gather your strength and make a comeback.
In our view, Yang Ying is a subordinate of Bayan. He is a Han. Without Bayan Mengke's protection, how can he take root in Onan River? The Han have a saying, 'If the skin is gone, what will the hair attach to?' Once Bayan falls, he will naturally lose his footing. Since we are going to join forces, we should catch him off guard and catch him off guard. Why do we have to deal with Yang Ying first? Firstly, it will damage our own strength, and secondly, it will give Bayan time to prepare? "
"Deal with Bayan first?" Meng En was stunned. He slowly took a sip of wine and fell silent.
Bai Yin continued, "If Onan River is not in Yang Ying's hands now, you Wa Tribe can avoid the Tartars and attack our Duoyan Tribe directly from the east. No, you don't have to explain. I understand your sincerity in working together. But once the Tartars disappear, how long can this sincerity last? We have to face this problem. "
Meng En's eyes darted around and he asked tentatively, "Could it be … Lady Bai Yin is deliberately allowing the White Uniform Army to act as a buffer between us? Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger in your bosom? "
Bai Yin narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Lord Meng En, as long as Bayan falls, the grasslands will belong to both of us. We will divide the grasslands equally. Yang Ying's forces are far away in the north. They cannot ally with the Han Ming court. At the same time, they are the traitors of Ming Destiny's court. They will never cooperate with the Ming court. They are the closest to us, so I'm afraid their only way out is to rely on us.
Since you are interested in working together, I might as well be honest. I hope you can set your sights further and stop thinking about the grasslands of Onan River. If Bayan falls, you will gain far more than getting back Onan River, right? "
Meng En gasped, "This Bai Yin, everyone says he is cunning and cowardly. Who would've thought that once he had the power to covet the position of leader of the Three Duoyan Tribe, his ambition would grow. It seems that he is bent on getting Onan River. After the marriage, the Three Duoyan Tribe will actually become two tribes. At that time, the other tribe will have no choice but to follow the orders of the merged Bai Yin.
The combined power of the three tribes will be far greater than the combined power of the three tribes. When that time comes, we will destroy Bayan and divide the sixty thousand households of the Tartar Grasslands. As the Three Duoyan Tribe owns Onan River, their territory will be like a sickle. In the battle against Wala, they will definitely have the geographical advantage. "
Bai Yin saw that Meng En was silent, but he did not seem anxious. He raised his wine cup and calmly sipped it, waiting for Meng En's reply. The initiative was in his hands. Wala was more worried about Bayan's resurgence than he was and hoped to rise from his shadow as soon as possible. They had to agree to this condition, even if they did not want to.
As expected, after a long silence, Meng En finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I will convey your opinion to the Khagan as soon as possible. But this way, I'm afraid we will not be able to launch a surprise attack on Bayan during the Damu period."
Bai Yin sternly said, "Lord Meng En, that is exactly what I hope to see. This Damu Assembly is actually an auspicious day for our noble Queen to choose a husband and get married. At the same time, it is also an important moment for the Three Duoyan Tribe to officially unite as one. I do not wish to complicate matters at this time.
As for Bayan, as long as the Three Duoyan Tribe can unite as one and ally with you, then Bayan will have to face two powerful forces that are not inferior to him in the East and West. The White Uniform Army in the North has long wanted to break away from them. It will be difficult for them to work together. No matter how brave Bayan is, how can he be a match for us? "
He smiled mysteriously and said, "Besides, I believe that Yi Bula Khan is no longer in the distant West. He should be nearby by now, right? It will be very convenient for you to convey my opinion to him. I even hope to personally meet Yi Bula Khan when the time is right. "
Meng En looked at Queen Yin Qi, who had been sitting on the seat of honor like a decoration. The little girl's pretty face was expressionless, as if she did not mind Bai Yin's overstepping his authority.
Bai Yin suddenly understood and hurriedly smiled. "Of course, I will need our Queen's permission before I can represent her to meet the great Yi Bula Khan. Am I right, Yin Qi?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, Uncle. I'm still young and there are many things I don't understand. Uncle is my father's Anda, just like my father. Your wishes are my wishes. "
Meng En saw this and smiled knowingly. He stood up and said, "Very well, I understand the Queen's intentions. I will reply to the Khan as soon as possible and bring the results to you."
"Good!" Bai Yin smiled and stood up. She hugged Meng En and bade him farewell. Then, a guard quietly appeared from the shadows and led him to the corner door.
Bai Yin turned to Yin Qi and said, "Yin Qi, let's go to the main hall and have a drink with everyone."
Yin Qi shook her head. There was an unconcealable helplessness and tiredness on her face. "It's okay. Uncle, please entertain everyone for me. I'm tired and want to rest."
Bai Yin smiled faintly. Of course, he knew that Yin Qi was quite unhappy with his annexation of the Three Divisions and his act of seizing power. However, she could only be angry but did not dare to say anything. Other than throwing a tantrum, what else could she do?
After the Damu Assembly, she would hold the empty title of Queen and marry into his family as his daughter-in-law. He would become the true ruler of the Three Duoyan Guards. Then, his grandson would inherit the title of King Shunming. Bai Yin's family would become the true masters of the Eastern Grasslands, the true kings.
Hmm … Perhaps in his lifetime, he could even unify the entire grasslands and become the Great Khan. When that time comes, Ming Destiny's title of King would no longer matter. Other than bearing children for Bai Yin's family, Yin Qi would no longer be of any use to him.
Bai Yin chuckled at the thought of this and said, "Alright, have a good rest. I'm going to the front hall."
Bai Yin did not even bother to bow. He clasped his hands behind his back and left. "Hua Dang has quite a few great generals under his command. From now on, they will be my subordinates. Now, I need to win them over." Bai Yin calculated as he walked.
Yin Qi waited for him to leave before she jumped down from the kang bed. She clenched her fists tightly and her chest heaved up and down. It was obvious that she was extremely furious.
After a while, she suppressed the anger in her heart and sighed helplessly.
"In the grasslands, the strong are always respected! Don't be angry at him for not respecting your authority. In fact, it's because you're not worthy of his respect! "
Behind the Han landscape screen, there was a small space for toiletries. Next to it was a snow-white wall. At this moment, the door quietly opened, revealing a small room inside. A well-proportioned man with features as beautiful as a girl's strolled out from the room. He wore a white shirt and pants and had a saber strapped to his ribs.
"It's the same for me, Yang Ying!" There was a smile on his lips. To a young girl, that smile was infinitely seductive. His beautiful eyebrows were raised in a way that would make even girls jealous, making him look even more heroic.
"There's no possibility of an alliance between wolves and sheep. Only between wolves can there be an alliance. Beautiful Miss Yin Qi, if you want to work with me, Yang Ying, you'll have to show some courage and turn yourself into a wolf. You should know that no one will submit to you just because they pity you. "
Yin Qi's eyes widened and she glared at Yang Ying for a while. Her pretty face suddenly blushed, "There are many kinds of alliances between wolves. Tell me your conditions in detail. I think I have some conditions that I hope you can agree to, Big Brother Yang Ying! "
