Under the guidance of Yunliu, Chenxi arrived at the camp where visitors were placed.

There were many guards in this area, and several guards were arranged at the entrance of the tent. Yun Liu turned to Chen Xi and said, "The people she brought were arranged to rest elsewhere for a while, and they were all disarmed. If the adults ordered them to be killed at any time."

Chen Xi shook her head: "The two armies fought and did not kill the envoy. Although she was not a messenger, she was at least for negotiation. The Khan Court surrendered us now, and killing her would easily intensify the conflicts with the Tatar tribes."

Yun Liu bowed respectfully and no longer spoke casually.

Chen Xi went straight into the tent, but saw a woman in a robe with a red-headed and agate hanging around her slender waist, looking at him. Because it was daytime and the light was strong, Chen Xi could see the woman's appearance clearly.

This woman is not as strong as ordinary grassland women, with a thin figure, with a cherry eyebrows and a small cherry mouth. She is a bit as beautiful as a woman in Jiangnan. Perhaps she has a long time of luxury and her skin is whiter and more delicate than those healthy women who have been exposed to the sun for many years.

After all, it is Batumonk's woman. Even if there are many beauties that Chen Xi has seen in two lifetimes, she has to secretly praise the other person for being very beautiful.

The woman is about twenty years old, but Chen Xi cannot judge the specific age of the other party because whether a person is well maintained will have a great impact on appearance.

"Sir, this woman has searched her body and has not found any weapons, but you should be careful." Yun Liu followed Shen Xi into the tent. Seeing Chen Xi waved her hand and said that she would retreat from her left and right, she subconsciously reminded her.

Chen Xi nodded slightly and still called the guard back. This made Yun Liu more careful, fearing that the woman would rush over and would be unfavorable to Chen Xi.

Yun Liu stood in front of Shen Xi, and even pulled out his sword, standing in front of him. It seemed that as long as the woman in front of her was abnormal, she would immediately suffer the other party's life.

Chen Xi looked at the woman and asked, "Can you understand what I said?"

"Um."

The woman nodded slightly, starry eyes circling, and asked curiously, "You are the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the military commander appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xi?"

Yun Liu had an instinctive hostility towards the beautiful woman and shouted: "Bold, do you have the right to speak to adults like this?"

Chen Xi didn't say anything, as if he had agreed to Yun Liu's statement. He continued to look at the woman, but saw that the other party smiled cleverly, without any fear or anger. He couldn't help but nod. This woman was the concubine of Batumonk who was included in the harem. She was knowledgeable and had a certain courage.

Under Shen Xi's long gaze, the smile on the woman's face slowly stiffened, and she couldn't help but shrink back, as if she finally felt a hint of fear and no longer dared to look at Chen Xi.

"On behalf of the tribe, I came to discuss with the adults... I asked the adults to appoint the fourth prince Alsu as Khan, and let him lead us grassland people to rebuild after the war and recuperate... We will definitely be loyal to the Ming court, and from now on, we will not dare to have any disrespect to the Ming Dynasty. We will pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year." The woman lowered her head and said.

"Isn't this a request to be rejected?" Chen Xi frowned when he heard this, and then said, "You haven't introduced yourself yet...what's your name?"

The woman peeked at Chen Xi and replied: "Zhu Lan."

Chen Xi asked, "Are you a Han Chinese?"

The woman shook her head slightly: "I am not a pure Han Chinese, my father is a grassland, my mother is a Han Chinese, named Qiqige, and Zhulan is the Chinese name given to me by the Khan... Originally, the Khan said that I would send me to the Ming Dynasty, but I never had a chance. My father had been doing business in Zhangjiakou Fort and lived there for several years, so I understand Chinese, but I didn't say it very well... A few years ago, the Khan led his troops to capture Zhangjiakou Fort. Our family was robbed by the rioters and wandered on the grassland. It was the Khan who took in our family. Two years later, the Khan married me."

"Um."

Chen Xi nodded understandingly.

Whether this woman’s statement is true is not within his consideration. At least this woman’s attitude is sincere and can communicate.

Chen Xidao: "I have sent someone to tell you and Alsu before that it is not my decision to be a Khan, but it is up to my Emperor Ming Dynasty to decide. Now that your Majesty has not made a ruling on this, I dare not overstep it... If Your Majesty says that Alsu is qualified to be a Khan, then there is no problem, otherwise... you are a smart person and should understand the rules."

Zhu Lan frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Shen, is it necessary to cover it up? As we know, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not interfere with who will be a Khan at all. You are the god of war in the minds of the people of the grassland. Now all tribes obey your orders, and even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty gives you the power of life and death. Whoever you want to be a Khan can be a Khan!"

While speaking, Zhu Lan looked at Chen Xi with eager eyes, as if this matter was very important to her and she had to get a positive answer.

Chen Xi did not answer. As the de facto master of the grassland, there is no need to explain too much to a grassland woman.

Yunliu glanced at Chen Xi and felt that she should come out and shout to hit the woman's arrogance, so she said, "Don't be ungrateful. The lord has given you a favorable treatment. I will personally meet you and explain the situation to you. If you make trouble again, don't blame us for being rude to you."

Zhu Lan didn't take Yun Liu seriously at all, but just looked at Chen Xi, eager to get the answer.

Chen Xi sighed relieved: "What is your relationship with Alsu?"

"I don't understand what Lord Shen means... Don't you know the relationship between me and Alsu? I am Khan's woman, and he is the son of Khan and Mandu Haihatun. Even if I want to have a relationship with him..." Zhu Lan replied in confusion.

Chen Xi asked again: "Do you have a son?"

Zhu Lan was stunned at first, then shook her head: "I didn't give birth to a child or a half of my daughter for Dahan. Dahan is not very concerned about me... I am just a tool used by Dahan to communicate with Daming."

Chen Xi smiled and joked: "You know your position, so you are so anxious now that you are planning to marry Alsu in the future and make yourself a new Hatun. In the future, you and Alsu's son can be the Khan of the Grassland and repeat the scene of the legend of Haihatun in Mandu back then?"

Because Chen Xi's question was too sharp, Zhu Lan couldn't answer for a while. Although she seemed to speak with great momentum, her body was trembling constantly and her eyes were flashing, and she obviously had no confidence.

After Shen Xi asked, Zhu Lan became more nervous and stammered: "I...I don't dare...think so..."

Chen Xidao: "Then I can tell you clearly that I will not make Alsu the Khan, and my Majesty will not choose him. As for who it is, it has not been decided yet. At least it will not be a descendant of the Golden Family who is about to become an adult or is about to become an adult. Choosing a child is relatively easy to control."

Zhu Lan was surprised when she heard this: "Mr. Shen, you might as well think more about it. If a minor man controls the grassland, who will stand up to maintain the overall situation?"

Chen Xi smiled and replied, "Who will maintain the overall situation? I haven't considered this issue clearly for the time being... Maybe, you Zhu Lan has the ability?"

"ah?"

Now it was Zhu Lan's turn to be surprised again.

Chen Xidao: "If you marry Alsu, it is hard to say how he will treat you in the future... If you want to be the second Mandu Haihatun, it is best to marry a young son of Batumonk. At least in the next ten years, you can control the situation in the grassland. You may become the Harun that everyone on the grassland will be remembered forever."

When Chen Xi said this, not only Zhu Lan felt incredible, but even Yun Liu felt that Chen Xi was a little whimsical.

Yun Liu thought to himself: "What does this mean by sir? This woman is obviously just here to pass the message and has no ambitions. The ability is unknown, but what she means... it seems to encourage her to stand up and take power. Is this the adult's plan to run the grassland?"

Chen Xi asked, "Zhu Lan, you are very brave. You dare to come to me twice to pass the message. No matter what purpose I am for, I have given you the best opportunity. Should you make a decision now so that I can make the next step?"

Zhu Lan shook her head flatly: "Sorry, Lord Shen, I am not qualified to be Hatun, because my grassland bloodline is not so pure... After all, I said that my mother is a Han Chinese, so even if I give birth to a son, she will not be recognized by the grassland people."

Yunliu hurriedly said, "Sir, my kindness will be different if I am not a race. This woman is absolutely not trustworthy."

Chen Xi didn't seem to hear Yun Liu's reminder, and said with a smile: "I said you are qualified, you are qualified, and no one can question it! How can you have no ambitions at all in life? Do you really don't want to be Hartun? Batumonk is a thing of the past. Even if he can kill back, he can't let the Khan again..."

"The Ming Dynasty court's attitude was firm. Batumonk would die, Tulu and Bales would die, as well. As for Alsu... Maybe I would take him to see His Majesty in my court and spend the rest of my life safely, or maybe in order to abide by the hearts of each tribe, I was killed directly after the Khan tribes..."

Zhu Lan asked in horror, "Didn't Lord Shen say he won't create a killing?"

"Everything depends on your decision... Who do you think is qualified to be a prairie kid in Batumonk?" Chen Xi asked sternly.

Because Chen Xi suddenly changed his face, Zhu Lan seemed to be frightened. She hesitated for a long time before he hesitating and replied: "I...I really don't know."

"Then I will make the decision for you... I must be a four or five-year-old child, you can be his Hatun, and you will be the mistress of the grassland in the future. I wonder what you think?" Chen Xi asked coldly.

Chen Xi said this, completely ignoring what others thought. Zhu Lan heard a few steps back and asked in a trembling voice: "Don't Lord Shen... don't you... don't you want me to go back to the Khan Court?"

Chen Xi nodded: "You are a smart person. Since you want to be a Hatun person, of course you have to stay in the camp. If you choose to escape, I will send troops to destroy the entire Khan Court... The burden on your shoulders is not light."

"I won't run away."

Poor Zhu Lan, although she had some courage, unfortunately she didn't have much knowledge. She was fooled by Chen Xi and could only answer in grievance.

Chen Xidao: "It's best if you don't escape. Batumonk's young sons are now in my camp. You can choose later. Who will make him your future husband and will also be a great khan... What do you think?"

"No, no!"

Zhu Lan's beautiful eyes were wide open, obviously extremely afraid.

She was originally just a middleman for Alsuborot. At first, she came with the fourth prince and was just a translator. This time, Alsuborot was frightened and did not dare to go to the Ming army camp, for fear that Chen Xi would kill him, so she just sent Zhu Lan alone, but she didn't expect that Chen Xi would use Zhu Lan as a chess piece.

Chen Xi said coldly: "You can't make the decision now. You can do whatever I ask you to do. If you go against my will, I will destroy the Khan Court. For me, either the Khan Court will completely obey my orders or be completely destroyed. There are only these two options, and you are the key to determining the fate of the Khan Court."

"Julan, I remind you that you must carefully choose your future husband and don't let yourself and me down!"

Chen Xi detained the envoy sent by Alsu and asked the woman to decide who to be the Khan of the grassland. This was completely incomprehensible to Yunliu.

It was clearly said that it was only the case that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could decide, but now he completely left it behind. Chen Xi himself did not make a decision. Instead, he asked a woman to decide who would be her husband and who would be the Khan. Yun Liu felt that it was too much of a joke.

"You think carefully first, and I'll listen to your decision later."

Chen Xi did not immediately make Zhu Lan decide, and asked the other party to digest it for a while, and took Yun Liu out of the tent.

After coming out, Yun Liu remained silent, but Chen Xi understood her temperament and waited until she returned to the Central Army tent before breaking the silence.

"Do you think that if I let that Julan decide who is Khan will make things worse and not match what you expected?"

Yunliu lowered her head and replied cautiously: "How should adults arrange it? I am not qualified to criticize the low-ranking position."

Chen Xi smiled: "No matter how you think, the grassland people have their inherent thinking logic. Although Zhulan is not as brave as Haihatun in Mandu back then, she is Batumonk's woman. As long as I give her power, the grassland tribes will obey and surrender... On the contrary, if I let Alsu be the Khan, someone will definitely come out to resist."

Yun Liu thought for a while and asked thoughtfully: "So, the adults should cultivate a child who does not threaten all tribes, especially small and medium tribes, as a khan, and then this woman takes power. The purpose is to balance the power of all parties?"

"It probably means that."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "The choice Manduhai made back then was actually the most correct. She made Dayan Khan, but in fact she also ruined Dayan Khan..."

"Batumuk was protected by the Mandu Sea and grew up smoothly. In the end, he took over a stable and powerful tribe. Batumonk seemed arrogant, but his reputation was mostly given by the Mandu Sea. It was okay for the Dayan tribe to win battles, no one questioned it, but he was defeated continuously in the battle against the Ming Dynasty, especially in the battle of Yuxi River, which almost ruined the foundations of the Mandu Sea. The face of Batumonk's paper tiger was fully revealed, and he was powerless to rule the grassland again."

Yunliu said: "Why do you think it is necessary to kill Alsu, the fourth prince of the Dayan tribe? This person is afraid that he will not be willing to bow down and surrender, because according to the rules on the grassland, he is the most likely to be a Khan after leaving aside a few adult princes. Even if he does not rebel, others will encourage him to come out to compete for the Khan throne."

Chen Xi nodded first and shook his head, his face gloomy: "It is unlikely that Alsu is still underage and is different from his three brothers. He has never been trained as a crown prince. As long as I can make good use of him, Batumonk will definitely abandon this son... I am going to take Alsu to the Central Plains, imprison him for a long time, and use him as a backup to deal with the people of the grassland. If someone wants to make trouble, then push Alsu or his descendants to be Khan and save the crisis in the grassland!"

Yunliu was amazed at what Chen Xi said, and then she realized that Chen Xi had already made a complete plan.

There is actually not much difference between who will be a Khan. Anyway, it is selected from Batumonk's sons who have no adulthood, but Alsuborot is a chess piece reserved by Chenxi, laying the foundation for the future rebellion of the grassland.

Chen Xidao: "In three days, the Khan Ministry Conference will be held. When the Khan Ministry Conference ends, the order on the grassland will basically stabilize. Zhulan and her little husband will be sent to Zhangjiakou Fort to worship the Emperor of Ming. The rest can be taken by the heads of the tribe. Batumonk wants to come back to seize power, and there are many difficulties... Alas!"

At the end, Chen Xi seemed to feel a little regretful and sighed, "If we could kill Batumonk, there would be no more trouble, what a pity!"

...

...

Less than two hours after Chen Xi detained Zhulan, Alsuborot sent someone to contact Chen Xi and requested that Zhulan be returned, and at the same time expressed his wish to be Khan again.

Yun Liu was still the one who brought the news this time. Chen Xi frowned: "I didn't expect that Alsu didn't give up and sent people to contact each other repeatedly. If he had the ability, he would launch a rebellion and fight with me, otherwise he would stay honestly... Maybe he had the ability to talk to those tribes and persuade most people to recommend him as a Khan?"

Yun Liu said: "Reply to Alsu like this?"
