Chapter 423: Mochu and Bakhtar
Li Cunxi snapped his fingers and asked:
"Now there is a question, what on earth can these people and Yu Zhou do together?"
Viper Tiger Jinghui closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:
"The outcome of the war between Khitan and the Great Zhou has nothing to do with the warlike nobles of the five tribes."
"All these people want to do is to start a war with the Great Zhou."
"Yuzhou is one of our Snake Spirits. We also want to start a war and take the opportunity to overthrow the emperor's rule."
"So, their common goal is for the Great Zhou to go to war with the Turks. This is the most reasonable explanation."
Li Yuanfang frowned, counted on his fingers, and was surprised:
"In other words, the situation we are facing now is a war between the father and son of the Turkic royal family, serious disagreements between the warlike tribes and the peace-loving tribes, the conspiracy of the snake spirits, and the rebellion of the Khitan?"
"I feel like we are a small boat in the storm. If we are not careful, we might capsize in the storm."
What Li Yuanfang said is true.
Now that everyone is among the Turks, they are facing multiple difficulties.
If any of these difficulties gives the hostile forces an advantage, they will be walking on thin ice in the Turkic area.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the battle between father and son, if Mochu had acted in time and poisoned Jili Khan first, it would have been impossible for Li Cunxi and his party to return to the Great Zhou.
The best outcome is to stay in the Turks and help Prince Mochu deal with the conflicts within the Turks until war with the Great Zhou breaks out again.
Hu Jinghui slowly turned to Li Cunxi, only to see that Li Cunxi, who was so excited just now, was now lying down completely.
He lay on the ground like a five-pointed star, with his hands and legs spread out, and a look of despair on his face.
"What's wrong, Cunxi?"
Lu Dayou, who had just woken up, came in from outside and asked while rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Nothing, I just feel like we can't just sit there and wait for them to take the initiative and mess up our arrangements."
Li Cunxi exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, sat up straight, and placed his hands on his knees.
His eyes moved rapidly as he kept thinking about what to do next and how to do it best.
Several plans went through his mind one by one.
Li Cunxi thought for a long time and suddenly showed a familiar smile.
"Brother Jinghui, pack your things and follow me to the residence of my cousin, Crown Prince Mochu, later, together with Dayou."
Lu Dayou stood up and said:
"Since I'm going to meet the Crown Prince, I have to tidy up my appearance and not lose face."
Soon, they arrived at Prince Mochu's residence.
Prince Mochu, who was sitting in the main seat, was having a pleasant conversation with a young man below.
The young man was Bakhtin, the youngest son of Jili Khan and the younger brother of Prince Mochu. He was a staunch advocate of peace.
However, this Bahan did not look like his biological father, Jili Khan, but more like Jili Khan's deceased brother, Shibi Khan.
I don't know how Jili Khan felt when he saw this good son who looked so much like his younger brother Shibi Khan.
The two brothers had a great conversation and unconsciously brought the topic to Li Cunxi.
Bhanna looked at his good brother, Prince Mochu, with envy and said:
"Brother, Mr. Li is known as the most outstanding young talent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is also very close to my father. I envy you for being related to him."
Prince Mochu was somewhat pleased with himself. He raised his hand cheerfully and waved it casually, saying:
"This is also my good fortune. When Mr. Li arrived outside the royal court that day, I happened to be with my father."
"My father told me that my uncle had come, and I was a little surprised."
"But the moment I saw my father, I immediately and willingly worshipped him."
"My uncle is handsome, slender, and has a handsome face. He is also very capable and intelligent. It would be a great thing for me if I could get his help."
"Besides, my uncle came to the Turks this time with my eldest uncle and several Han officers. If my father can keep them all in the Turks to serve, it would not be a bad idea to call my uncle my elder brother, or even all of them my elders!"
Prince Mochu was spitting everywhere, as if Li Cunxi and his men were ready to defect to the Turks and serve them.
Of course, this is totally impossible.
Prince Mochu had already seen through the conflicting interests, and he had no hope of keeping Li Cunxi.
I just hope that this uncle will not take action against his good son at the critical moment.
As there was really no other choice, he had to imprison his uncle.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then a young woman came in from outside. She bowed to the two of them, and finally turned to Prince Mochu and said:
"Your Highness, there is a man outside who claims to be Li Cunxi, with two followers, who wants to see Your Highness."
Prince Mochu's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself:
"I was just talking to my cousin about my uncle, but I didn't expect that he has come to me. I don't know why he came to find me."
He collected his thoughts and said to Bakhta:
"Please wait here for a moment, my dear brother. I am going out to greet my father now."
When Bhanna heard that another guest had arrived, he quickly stood up and clasped his fists towards Prince Mochu:
"Since your uncle has arrived, I will take my leave first. It's a good time to go back and have a rest."
The two brothers were friendly and respectful to each other. After some humility, Prince Mochu sent Bakhtin out.
Coming towards him, he saw Li Cunxi, Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou.
"My uncle, my uncle, and General Tiger!"
"I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."
Prince Mochu came out smiling and bowed to the three people.
"My son, please get up quickly! My son, please get up quickly!"
Li Cunxi deliberately lowered his voice and imitated the same rhetoric that Dong Zhuo used when dealing with Lu Bu.
Prince Mochu was helped up by Li Cunxi, and his face looked even happier.
Look, I call myself Son from the Father.
"Father, this is my brother, Bakhtar."
Prince Mochu looked at Bakhchisar and introduced it again.
Li Cunxi turned to Bakhtin, nodded slightly, and said indifferently:
"It turns out to be my nephew in person. I have never seen him before."
Bakhta bowed to Li Cunxi and said respectfully:
"My nephew Bakhina, nice to meet your uncle."
Li Cunxi smiled slightly and helped Bakhna up.
Bhanna was also a sensible man. After saying goodbye to everyone briefly, he left with his entourage.
Prince Mochu watched Balhana leave, then led Li Cunxi and the other two into his residence.
Prince Mochu, who had been extremely excited for a long time, arranged for Li Cunxi to sit down, and immediately asked with a smug smile:
"From the father to the son, I don't know what it means."
"You also said that your uncle is very lonely in the Turkic region and you want me to accompany him for a walk?"
"Or maybe it's because my father feels that he is not used to living here?"
"If my father has any request, I will do my best to make him feel comfortable."
