Chapter 204: Predicting the future?

"It's not that I'm incompetent. These are my brothers who have fought for my life. As for the others, Yelu Xuan has unparalleled magical powers. In the land of Western Hu where the strong are respected, he has been regarded as the messenger of the Eternal Heaven. His prestige is unparalleled. Even the Great Khan relies on him a little!"

The more Tuoba Xiong spoke, the angrier he became. This matter seemed like a vicious circle with no solution at all.

If one day his Tuoba Xiong cavalry were to rebel, except for those die-hard loyal ones, the rest would most likely turn against him.

"Although there are few of these people, you have to win them over, train them hard, and teach them the way of cultivation in secret. It would be best if you can make one against ten, so that you can keep them for future use!"

Tuoba Xiong agreed with Li An's words, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Xie. I will do the same in the future!"

Li An nodded and said, "We still have to continue to recruit people, but no matter what method you use, concealment is the most important thing!"

Such is the limitation of this age of divine right of kings.

If the people are not enlightened, there will naturally be no question of independence and sound individual thinking.

Not to mention that there are gods in this world, so the temple is God to the people in this world!
Under such a trend of thought, when people saw the great power of Yelu Xuan, they would naturally admire and blindly worship him. Tuoba Xiong's military power came from the canonization of the Great Khan and the support of his nominal master, Yelu Xuan.

The other party's power can be taken away at any time with just one word!
"What's next? What are you going to do after you kill Yelu Xuan?"

Tuoba Xiong, who had been articulate and quick-witted just now, was slightly stunned. He had never thought of this.

It was just because he would not deceive himself. He had never seen any hope of revenge before, and he had never thought that he could defeat the devil. He did not even dare to hope so in his dreams.
"Maybe just live peacefully with your wife and children and protect them well."

His mood became depressed, but he immediately reacted and said, "Of course, this life will belong to you after this. If you can take care of my wife and children, I am not afraid of death!"

After hearing the other party's statement, Li An did not say anything extra.

Who are these officials? They are all men.

And what do men like? Power and women.

Would a person who has held a high position of power be content to return to a simple life? Of course not.

Tuoba Xiong naturally said this in his current state of mind, but he didn't know what would happen then, so it would be better to just point it out directly, so as to leave him something to think about.

"After this is accomplished, I want you to become the Great Khan of the Western Hu! When the time is right, I want you to submit your entire nation to the Northern Qi. At that time, I will grant you the position of a king of a different surname. Are you willing?"

As for military power?

No.

Why would a king of a different surname need military power if he has his own fiefdom?
This result is countless times better than what Tuoba Xiong had expected. For the sake of his wife and children, he doesn't care so much about power and status. Although Li An looks at him with poisonous eyes and has the worst intentions, he will agree anyway.

He would not cling to power and have rebellious thoughts. If the other party had done him a favor, coupled with the great power of the Grandmaster, even if he became the Great Khan, he would not have the confidence to survive one more day under the assassination of the other party.

"Then my life is yours, sir! But what should I do next?"

Tuoba Xiong had doubts. It's not that he had not looked for his wife and children when Yelu Xuan went to another country, but no matter whether he looked openly or secretly, he couldn't find any news at all.

If Yelu Xuan had not shown him the letters written by his wife and the hair that fell from his children's growth every few months, he would have been sure that his wife and children had been murdered!
Since they are related by blood, how could he not know that those hairs belonged to his son?

And his wife was the daughter of the chief of a large tribe of Xihu a few years ago, and she knew that she could read and write.

"This matter is not urgent for now. As long as you are useful to them, nothing will happen to them. When the time comes, I will take action in advance, calculate their whereabouts and rescue them, so that you can start the incident without any worries!"

Ang Lee made a firm commitment.

In this way, it can be regarded as planting another chess piece, and it is also a crucial chess piece! The success or failure of the matter depends on Tuoba Xiong's special fate!

"how much longer?"

"Two years!"

Li An said in a deep voice, he was looking at Tuoba Xiong, but his mind had already drifted to the figure in the palace in the distant Nanqing.

With Emperor Qing's intelligence and means, it is impossible for him to not have a back-up plan when the two countries confront each other.

Calculating the worst case scenario, considering that Yelu Xuan and Emperor Qing have now joined forces, if he sends troops two years later, he will most likely be attacked from behind by Yelu Xuan!
What do you mean by going to Shangjing to form an alliance with Northern Qi and jointly conquer Southern Qing? Those who understand will understand!

And what chips do you have in your hand?

Ku He or Si Gu Jian? Wu Zhu, that's a no-brainer.
Si Gu Jian still has a chance to fight for it, but although he and Emperor Qing dislike each other, the relationship between Fan Xian's mother Ye Qingmei and Si Gu Jian is still very close.
Knowing the original plot, Ang Lee couldn't help but suspect that Si Gu Jian must have some different thoughts about Fan Xian's mother!

Otherwise, why would he take such good care of Fan Xian afterwards?

He also handed over the Sword House of Dongyi City and the Ninth Rank disciples therein to Fan Xian! And the position of Lord of Dongyi City was given to Yun Zhilan!
Now Yun Zhilan is dead! He died at his own hands. Not only will it be difficult to win over Si Gu Jian, but even the position of the Lord of Dongyi City will probably be given to Fan Xian!

He was already far ahead of the others, and the novice village where he was born was near the finish line.
Perhaps, I can make some plans for this location in Dadong Mountain.

With a plan in mind, Li Ang's thoughts gradually became clearer, and even his facial expression became much calmer.

Tuoba Xiong felt relieved after seeing this. Mr. Li Ang is really reliable!
"What you have to do now is to lie low and wait for the right opportunity to come!"

"What is a good opportunity?"

Tuoba Xiong asked. He didn't want to find out so much at this time. You know, there is Qu Han in the country who is eyeing him covetously!

This time when he goes back, he will definitely lie low and avoid the enemy's sharp edge. Then, he will have even less power in his hands, and how can he compete with his junior brother?

"Two years from now, if it goes as I expected, Yelu Xuan will raise his troops to attack Northern Qi from behind. That will be a good opportunity!"

Tuoba Xiong was greatly shocked and horrified.

Is there really such a magical power in the world? Can one see what will happen two years from now with the naked eye?

Although he didn't understand, he was greatly shocked!
If it is really as Mr. Li said, what would it matter if I gave up my life to accompany him? At most, I will die!

If it weren't for the arrival of his wife and children, he would have died that night ten years ago!

"In that case, I will look forward to that day!"

Li An nodded, and Tuoba Xiong had disappeared in the front yard.

Li Ang poured another cup of hot tea slowly and drank it by himself. He calmed down a little and the front yard became quiet again.

Because of Tuoba Xiong's arrival today, Zhao Tong'er had already declined all future visitors who wanted to hang up.

Fortunately, the divination money left by Tuoba Xiong was very generous - one million taels of silver!

I think these are Tuoba Xiong's savings over the years. I don't know if there is still some amount missing, so he went somewhere else to get the money together. There are both small and large banknotes.

Perhaps because Tuoba Xiong was so anxious, he even placed the tea on the table.
Couldn't finish drinking it.
