Zhu Lan was very scared, and because she was afraid, she was willing to "bribe" Chen Xi in the most direct way so that Chen Xi would not kill her.

But Chen Xi himself did not mean to kill people. He had already made it clear, and he just treated Zhu Lan as a pawn.

As a person who knows how to control the chess game, Chen Xi will certainly not touch a chess piece casually. The significance of this chess piece is not whether she is a woman who is extremely beautiful and attractive, but that she is Batumonk's concubine and will become the identity of Hatun, the new Khan in the future.

"Why?"

After hearing Chen Xi's words, Zhu Lan shook her head and asked in an incredible tone.

Although she understood the language of the Central Plains, she knew nothing about politics. If it were Awulu, she would definitely avoid Chen Xi from being too careless. However, Zhu Lan obviously did not have such a mind. Even if Chen Xi explained to her, she would still be in a fog.

"hehe!"

Chen Xi just smiled. He admired Zhu Lan's innocence very much, because this woman knew nothing, she was able to control it.

After a while, Chen Xi said, "You don't understand that it's nothing... In the current situation, you don't need to have your own ideas. You just need to follow the instructions of me, the person who controls the chess game. If you want to keep the grassland peaceful for a long time, everything must be followed by my arrangements. This is also the premise for you to save your life... If you betray the Ming Dynasty, it means death."

"I won't."

Zhu Lan didn't understand anything else, but she understood the last sentence.

Chen Xi threatened her and did not allow her to betray her, so that she could keep her life.

Chen Xi smiled and nodded: "Since you understand, I won't say anything more. If you don't want to die, just do your best..."

While talking, Chen Xi was still admiring the woman in front of him.

Although this woman is not uncovered, the situation in front of her is beautiful enough. After all, it is mid-July, and the weather is not very cold. Zhu Lan has a good figure with a nine-headed body. Although she is wearing a small suit, she is enough to attract men's attention, especially a man like Chen Xi who has won consecutive battles and is extremely passionate in her heart.

"very good."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "A woman like you has enough capital to gain a foothold in the grassland. As for how you are going to maintain your identity and status in the future, that's your business."

Zhu Lan frowned slightly, obviously not very understandable.

What Chen Xi suggested is actually similar to the choice A Wulu had made before. Since a woman does not have the ability to dominate the grassland situation and cannot be like the Mandu Haihatun, she should know how to win over some men. Chen Xi will not restrict Zhu Lan from playing with some power and tricks. Of course, the premise is that Zhu Lan must have that ability, and Chen Xi will not give her too much guidance.

Chen Xi turned around and was about to leave, and Zhu Lan suddenly said "feed" as if she wanted to keep him.

"Is there anything else?"

Chen Xi turned sideways and looked at Zhu Lan.

Zhu Lan lowered her head: "You are the great hero everyone praises on the grassland. I...I want to be your woman..."

Such bold and direct words were almost impossible for anyone to say in the Ming Dynasty, but it was so natural to say in Zhu Lan.

No matter whose woman she was before or how arrogant she was, she had the power to express her true thoughts to the man who conquered her body and mind. This is also a way for grassland people to deal with emotions.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "You didn't completely attract me. I hope you will have a chance before I leave the grassland!"

After saying that, Chen Xi went straight out of the tent without any intention of staying.

...

...

After Chen Xi came out, he saw Yun Liu was already waiting at the door. He probably wanted to go in and check the situation, but he didn't dare to act rashly due to orders.

"Sir, catching a few assassins seems to be detrimental to you." Yun Liu stepped forward to report.

Chen Xi frowned: "Who would send an assassin to the camp to kill me? Even Batumonk wouldn't be so stupid, right? Let's go and see what's going on."

Chen Xi did not ask, but wanted to see the assassin's appearance.

Yun Liu led the way and soon arrived at a tent near the northwest edge of the camp. Around the bonfire, more than a dozen guards surrounded seven men in black kneeling on the ground.

Seeing the assassin's dress, Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Do you know what the origin?"

"What we are talking about is not the Central Plains language, it seems to be a Tartar!" Yun Liu was not sure, but since Chen Xi asked, he must have doubts about the identity of the visitor.

As he said before, even Batumonk had no reason to send assassins to assassinate Chen Xi. Such things that would take great risks and were not pleasing are simply in vain.

Chen Xidao: "Organize an interrogation immediately until they confess!"

Yunliu asked for instructions: "How to interrogate the law? Is it..."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Is this necessary for me to teach you? How did Dongchang interrogate prisoners? Use all kinds of tortures for me. Since I am here to be an assassin, I am not considered a prisoner of war... I will first understand their origins and origins, and I will know what their purpose is. I believe you can do things well."

As a Dongchang man, Yunliu naturally knew what kind of torture the Dongchang had and how people confessed.

After Chen Xi left, he had not walked far away, and he heard screams from there. The voice of the people was creepy, because Chen Xi had already determined that these people were not prisoners of war, and as an assassin and treated them carefully, there was no need to reserve any reservations, and all punishments would be used on these people.

Chen Xi arrived at the central camp, sat down and continued to drink the broth, and chatted with the soldiers who came to eat and drink together. After about half an hour, Yunliu came.

Chen Xi did not let the soldiers around him get up, but stood up alone and went to the central army tent to talk to Yun Liu.

On the way, Yun Liu reported: "Sir, I found out that they are from the Khan Court and were ordered to assassinate several sons of Batumonk. It is said that they accepted the military order of Dayan Khan... However, the tiger poison does not eat the son. In the eyes of Beizhi, it is likely that it was the order of the fourth prince Alsu."

Chen Xi asked with a smile: "Arsu has the courage? In order to become a Khan, he will kill all his younger brothers? In this way, he is really a big deal. I underestimated him before."

"Sir, I think the confessions of these people are unreliable?" Yun Liu couldn't help but have doubts after hearing Chen Xi's words.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Is that just that true... Since they say that, then let's settle it first, take care of it, don't let them commit suicide. These people can be used to make an article at tomorrow's Khan Conference."

"yes."

Yun Liu respectfully accepts the order.

Chen Xi looked at Yunliu again and asked, "Have they really approached the tents that imprisoned the Tatars before?"

Yun Liu was stunned and shook her head: "They did not find the tent for the detainees, and they didn't even know where our central army tent was. They were captured as soon as they entered the camp... According to their own words, they were just here to get lucky."

Chen Xi smiled again, waved his hand and retreated Yunliu.

Obviously, Chen Xi no longer cared about the purpose of this assassin.

...

...

Chen Xi returned to the central army tent, and Ma Jiu followed in and brought news about the assassin.

Because Ma Jiu is responsible for the security of the camp, Ma Jiu is responsible for the assassin entering the camp, and he seems a little guilty at this time.

"Don't go to heart."

Chen Xi didn't care about it, "There were very few people sent by the Tatars, and they came over at night. It was normal not to find out. However, the soldiers should be wary. If someone approached the camp, they would kill them."

Ma Jiu asked: "Sir, why don't you be outside the camp? Send one or two thousand men to patrol?"

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "No need. Now the situation is completely under our control. The hasty increase in troops will make the Tatars around the carnival suspicious and cause unnecessary trouble. But I am a little suspicious now that these people are not Tatars, but may be Han people. As for their purpose... it's hard to say, but unfortunately it's difficult to investigate on the grassland. When I return to the pass, I will see if there are any clues!"

Ma Jiu opened his mouth in surprise, thought about it but shook his head. Reality did not think that the Han people would have to spend a lot of effort to travel thousands of miles to the grassland to assassinate Chen Xi.

In fact, Chen Xi himself was not very confident, but since he had been assassinated in his own house in the capital, he had been cautious and would rather make things more complicated.

When Ma Jiu received the order and left, Chen Xi still frowned and thought about his thoughts, with a hint of anxiety.

"grown ups."

I don’t know how long it took, Zhu Hong came in and broke Chen Xi’s contemplation.

Chen Xi raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Hong said: "General Hu and General Liu came to ask for a meeting."

Chen Xi nodded: "Let them come in."

Zhu Hong then went out to pass the message and asked Hu Songyue and Liu Xu to come in. The two of them briefly explained the patrol situation first. Liu Xu said: "Sir, something strange happened in the camp tonight. What prince of Tatar? The princess is sick. I asked us for her medicine. Did she give it to medicinal materials?"

Chen Xi asked dissatisfiedly: "Do I give them something and ask you two to agree?"

Hu Songyue smiled and said, "Sir, this is not what I mean by Liu Laoer. It's just that those princes and princesses are the children of barbarian chiefs. It's better to reward us and treat them as slaves in the future... I wonder if sir?"

Facing the two of them's hopeful eyes, Chen Xi stood up and said, "Why, you two have started to have bad ideas again? Didn't I say that, why did you think of this again if you don't move the women and children on the grassland?"

"It's too boring to stay on the grassland. What kind of Khans conference has nothing to do with us. If you don't fight, your heart is almost gone. You'll just divide the prisoners of war. I heard that among these Tartars from the Khans, some women are pretty... These high-ranking Tartar prisoners can be sold at high prices in China..."

Hu Songyue unknowingly expressed his true purpose.

Chen Xi was cold and said, "These prisoners of war are useful. Even if they want to reward you, they must be approved by His Majesty... Now you forgot that you are out of the war, and are there Tatars around you? If you anger the Tatars who had already surrendered, they will revolt and let the soldiers be in danger?"

Chen Xi became more and more angry as he spoke. Finally, he pointed to the tent gate and shouted, "After you patrol, go back to your respective tents to sleep. If you grow grass in your heart, cut it off, and don't think about it indiscriminately! When you return to the Central Plains, what women and animals can't get, and you have to ask for it here?"

"When you go back, you'll go back to me, don't mention this matter again!"

...

...

After dawn, representatives of tribes from the grassland gathered at the venue set up by Chenxi.

The Tatars seemed to be a whole, almost unified by Batumonk, but in fact there were too many tribes below, almost each of them had their own inheritance and origin, and they did not want to suffer losses in this Khan tribe conference. So as much as possible, as Chen Xi said, there were more than a dozen people in a tribe, and in this way, two or three thousand people participated in this Khan tribe conference.

Some tribes can't even find ten males, so they simply bring strong women to make up for the numbers just to provide certain combat power when fighting.

However, all the weapons brought by these people were captured by the soldiers under Chen Xi's command. All those who entered the venue must be absolutely safe and even need to be searched for their bodies.

There are four gaps in the venue surrounded by yellow curtains. At this time, each entrance is already crowded. It takes a lot of time to check this item alone. People from various tribes did not fight at the door, but they were also very noisy, mainly because they were speechless.

Only those from the large tribes are qualified to meet Chen Xi, which means that they are ventilated before the Khans’ meeting and even receive “customs”, which is to enter the venue from a separate entrance.

"Dear Ming envoy, after considering this night, did you agree to let me be the national teacher? All this is for you, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the long-term peace and stability on the grassland."
