Chapter 766 Condolences, Incident
Wu Yanhao sent his wife back to Prince Wei's Mansion and set off with Li Cunxi.
Lu Dayou also sent his wife to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, handed her over to Xiao Mei and others, and then got on Li Cunxi's carriage.
Escorted by several agile figures, the carriage headed north to Khitan.
At the same time, envoys from Khitan were also rushing to Luoyang.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and Li Cunxi and his party finally appeared in Guichengzhou, Khitan.
Li Wanshan, the then Khitan chief, came to greet him with Sun Xiangzhou, the governor of Guicheng Prefecture, and then went to Li Jinzhong's mourning hall together.
Li Wanshan originally wanted to bury his father in the wind, but he found the will left by Li Jinzhong, which asked Li Wanshan to bury him and Sun Wanrong together. So he had no choice but to bury his father according to his father's wishes.
Walking into the mourning hall, Li Cunxi saw the coffin at a glance.
"Supreme Khan!"
Li Cunxi cried out in pain, trotted forward, threw himself on the coffin, and cried bitterly.
When he raised his face again, it was covered with tears.
Tears rolled down like threads.
"When we parted in Guichengzhou, I thought we would meet again soon. But when we meet again, we will be far apart. What a pity!"
Li Cunxi was in tears and burst into tears after he finished speaking.
The surrounding Khitan generals and officials couldn't help feeling sad when they saw this scene.
After the death of Supreme Khan Li Jinzhong, the person who suffered the most was not the Khitans, but a prince of the Great Zhou.
"Uncle, please accept my condolences."
Li Wanshan was so frustrated by Li Cunxi that he stuttered for a long time before finally saying this.
Li Cunxi has already gotten into the role and it is not easy for him to stop crying.
"Uncle, uncle, there's no need to be like this. Father was ill from overwork and wasn't in good health. Even though he's passed away, it's a relief."
Li Wanshan persuaded helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Li Cunxi howled even more sadly.
"Supreme Khan!"
"If Zhao Wenhui hadn't been so tyrannical and tyrannical in the past, repeatedly insulting the Khitan people, the Battle of Chongzhou wouldn't have broken out. He would have ended up seriously ill and even killed Marshal Sun!"
"Since Marshal Sun passed away, the Supreme Khan has been unable to carry on alone. He persevered for several years before his soul finally passed away to the Eternal Heaven. What a pity!"
All the Khitans in the mourning hall were in tears.
Recalling Li Jinzhong in the past, he endured humiliation for the Khitan and was insulted repeatedly by Zhao Wenhui. In the end, he raised an army to fight against the Zhou Dynasty for the lives of his people. How tragic it was.
In order to keep his people alive, Sun Wanrong even sacrificed his life. After Li Jinzhong persisted for a few years, his soul also returned to heaven.
At this moment, everyone finally remembered what Li Jinzhong said before his death.
"My son Wanshan, you and all the generals swear in front of this damned old man that for this life and eternity, as long as the Great Zhou does not betray the Khitan, the Khitan people will forever be a vassal state of the Great Zhou."
After Li Cunxi finished his condolences, he stood up with tears in his eyes.
Everyone's eyes were filled with tears as they came forward under the leadership of Li Wanshan.
"Uncle, in accordance with my father's dying words, I have sent people to the Great Zhou to request to continue being a vassal state of the Great Zhou. Although there are some dissenting voices within the clan, they are not a cause for concern."
"However, uncle, the threat from the Great Zhou still exists. After my father's death, the five warlike Turkic tribes sent people to us, hoping to unite with us and launch an attack on the Great Zhou at the same time."
This is a top-secret plan. I never expected that Li Wanshan would tell me directly.
At this moment, Li Cunxi had a better understanding of his ability to cry and his special buff.
"Khan, this matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it in private later." Li Cunxi reminded.
As soon as the word Khan came out, Li Wanshan suddenly became energetic: "Uncle, please follow me and we will go to the royal court."
Li Jinzhong's mourning hall is not in the royal court, but it is very close to the royal court.
After leaving the mourning hall and turning a corner, walk about fifty meters and you will arrive at the gate of the royal court.
Led by Li Wanshan, everyone entered the royal court and sat down in a reception room, divided into host and guest. Because he was an elder, Li Wanshan personally served Li Cunxi a bowl of mare's milk wine.
"Uncle, now that we are all family, I will not hide anything from you."
"Khan, please speak."
"This story begins 21 days ago, when my father passed away."
Time goes back to 21 days ago.
On the third day after the death of Khitan Li Jinzhong, a group of outsiders appeared in the territory of Khitan Guichengzhou.
These people were envoys from the five warlike Turkic Dulu tribes. They approached the warlike faction of the Khitan and wanted to join forces with the Khitan to attack the Great Zhou. If they could capture the territory of the Great Zhou, both sides would divide it equally.
After learning the good news, the warmongering Khitan faction chose to go directly to Li Wanshan.
That night, these warlike Turkic generals urged Li Wanshan, hoping that Li Wanshan could lead them to attack the Great Zhou and seize people, land and livestock from the Great Zhou.
Li Wanshan considered it over and over again, and finally rejected the warmongering faction, and kept postponing the matter.
It was not until now, when Li Cunxi entered Guicheng Prefecture, that Li Wanshan had the opportunity to tell Li Cunxi the news.
After hearing this shocking news, Li Cunxi realized that Su Honghui was indeed a talented person. What he had predicted almost happened.
"I wonder who the envoys from the five Dulu tribes who came to Khitan are?"
"This nephew really didn't know. When I sent people to secretly search for them, they had already disappeared."
"It seems that it must be Prince Helu's men." Li Cunxi frowned. "This guy really has the will to destroy our Great Zhou, and he wouldn't dare to do it without absolute certainty. In other words, Prince Helu has a backup plan."
Having had many dealings with Prince Helu, Li Cunxi knew Prince Helu's character very well.
If the other party is not sure, he will definitely not take such a risk.
Perhaps, Khitan was not just one of his allies, he might have other allies.
"No, after the first three parts, the only time Prince Helu took action was in that case..."
Li Cunxi remembered that there was a movie called Di Renjie, and his expression immediately fell.
Could it be that after all the main tasks were completed, the case of Di Renjie appeared in the form of a side quest?
If Prince Helu leads an army to attack the Great Zhou, he must kill Jili Khan, and he must have his helpers within the Great Zhou.
Wu Youde of Nanshan had secretly defected to him, and Shah Khan of Beishan was beheaded by Li Cunxi last year on a pretext.
Apart from these two people, who else in the court could be a traitor to Prince Helu?
Li Cunxi, puzzled, stayed in Khitan territory for a few more days. After trying his best to establish good relations with these people, he embarked on his journey back home.
In a corner that he had not noticed, several figures were standing in the house, watching him leave.
"Damn Li Cunxi, I really don't understand what's so good about him. Li Wanshan actually used him as an excuse to refuse to join us in attacking Da Zhou."
"Humph, if Li Wanshan doesn't want to go, then don't go. This is such a great benefit, they Khitan don't want it, so we Turks can take it ourselves."
