Chapter 984

Old Chahan also looked dejected and stopped looking at Lady Han.

Lady Han bowed slowly, paid her final respects to Old Chahan, and then walked toward Ogedei.

Ogedei obtained Lady Han and immediately took her into his arms.

But since this was in public, he couldn't do anything, so he had to say to Yelu Yelu Chucai,

"Grand Preceptor, King of Lu, you two entertain the Northern King and his party well on my behalf; I have urgent matters, so I will leave for now."

Saying this, he did not wait for Yelu Yelu Chucai's reply.

He wrapped his arm around Lady Han's waist and walked away quickly toward the distance.

Aodu naturally directed his trusted Kheshig guards to follow rapidly.

Accompanying them were Lady Han's laughter and joy.

Once Ogedei and Lady Han left, the banquet could not really continue.

Yelu Yelu Chucai, having received the imperial order, could only force himself to continue presiding over it.

Without Lady Han, Old Chahan sat at the banquet, drinking cup after cup of gloomy wine.

The other ministers' spirits also became increasingly low.

After drinking for a while longer, Yelu Yelu Chucai ordered the banquet to end.

Old Chahan, supported by Wang Gan Baobao, prepared to walk out of the palace in a dejected state.

Yelu Yelu Chucai and Mukhali both walked quickly to his side.

"Old Old Chahan, stay your steps."

Among all the civil and military officials, only Yelu Yelu Chucai and Mukhali could call the Northern King "Old Old Chahan."

"Grand Preceptor, King of Lu."

Being called Old Old Chahan, this newly promoted Northern King was not annoyed; instead, he returned the salute solemnly.

"Why did you offer Lady Han in public?"

Although Mukhali held a high position, he was a military general by origin, so he spoke directly and asked.

He and Old Chahan were one the commander of the Northern border, the other the commander of the Southern border.

Although they were not in the same faction before, they had long known of each other, so they didn't have too many scruples when speaking.

"King of Lu..."

Old Chahan gave a self-deprecating smile and was about to explain.

"There are no outsiders here; I call you Old Old Chahan, you call me Mukhali, that is fine."

Mukhali did not want to be too distant from Old Chahan and emphasized this.

"Very well! General Mukhali."

Old Chahan's address still carried some respect,

"The Great Khan this time conferred a first-class Marquis title on my son and ordered my entire Prince Ruyang Prince's Mansion to come to the Imperial Court to thank him; what was the purpose?"

"This..."

Mukhali and Yelu Yelu Chucai heard this and couldn't help but look troubled.

"It was nothing more than for Lady Han."

Before they could answer, Old Chahan replied directly,

"I am a subject of the Great Yuan, and he is the Great Khan of the Great Yuan."

Everything in the Great Yuan world belongs to him.

He wants Lady Han; besides offering her, what other way do I have?"

"..."

Yelu Yelu Chucai and Mukhali heard this and had nothing to say.

Indeed, if Old Chahan wanted to keep Lady Han, he could only rebel.

But the Prince Ruyang Prince's Mansion, while it could be said to dominate the Northern border and hold 100,000 elite troops,

compared to the Great Yuan court, it was truly vulnerable.

If he really rebelled, Ogedei, in the name of the Great Khan, could pacify the entire Northern border before long.

By then, Lady Han would still fall into Ogedei's hands.

"But why didn't you stall? At least with the name of the Prince of Prince Ruyang, using a stalling tactic, he wouldn't have been able to do anything, right?"

Mukhali only felt that today's scene was extremely absurd and couldn't help but say.

"Stall?"

Old Chahan gave a self-deprecating smile,

"Can you stall for a moment, can you stall for a lifetime?"

"It would only make him suspicious of me and want to strike at me."

"Forget it, forget it, I came here to offer Lady Han, and now that Lady Han has been offered, I should go."

Old Chahan was disheartened and said no more.

After cupping his hands to bid farewell to Yelu Yelu Chucai and Mukhali, he left the palace with Wang Gan Baobao.

"Alas! My Great Yuan has actually fallen to this point."

Watching Old Chahan's figure appear increasingly hunched in the cold wind, Yelu Yelu Chucai couldn't help but sigh secretly to the sky.

Great Tang, Mingtang.

Wu Zhao was once again filled with disappointment.

After all, she was not the true Empress of the Great Tang.

Having spent so much effort, yet failing to make the list, it truly made her anxious.

Di Di Renjie, after reading the Heavenly Dao Golden List this time, immediately spoke up,

"Your Majesty! Should we help Sect Master Jinguang find that Blue Demon's Tear?"

Jinguang and the Profound Heart Sect were forced to join the Great Tang camp during the Tang-Yuan war.

It was just that compared to Cang Qu, Jinguang clearly did not belong to the Great Tang.

After all, in order to improve his strength, he forcibly practiced the Profound Heart Mystery Art, which damaged his foundation and caused him to make the list early.

But he had never reported all of this to the Great Tang court or the Great Tang Empress.

This point alone was enough to show that he was not that loyal to the Great Tang.

That was why Di Di Renjie asked this question.

"What does Minister Di think?"

Wu Zhao was not in a good mood at this moment, so she didn't want to think deeply and instead kicked the ball back to Di Di Renjie.

"I think we should still help, but we must also make the Profound Heart Sect and Jinguang contribute more loyalty to the Great Tang."

Di Di Renjie was indeed confident and responded directly.

"Oh? How to make them contribute more loyalty?"

Wu Zhao was too lazy to think and continued to ask.

"What Jinguang needs most urgently now is clearly to find the Blue Demon's Tear to use in conjunction with his Trace-less Tear."

Di Di Renjie analyzed,

"But if we grant his wish, it won't prove his loyalty to the Great Tang."

"Therefore, I suggest that this matter be handled by my dispatching of personnel."

"As for Jinguang, he should continue to be responsible for bringing back the Heaven-Reliant Sword."

"Once the Heaven-Reliant Sword is brought back, we will hand over the Blue Demon's Tear to help him restore his foundation."

As early as when the secret of the Heaven-Reliant and Dragon-Slaying appeared, Jinguang had already been sent out to find Zhou Zhou Zhiruo and snatch the Heaven-Reliant Sword.

What Di Di Renjie said now was just a requirement that Jinguang must bring back the Heaven-Reliant Sword to prove his loyalty to the Great Tang.

Wu Zhao was also somewhat curious about the secret of the Heaven-Reliant and Dragon-Slaying.

She had no objection to the arrangement for Jinguang and nodded in agreement,

"Then let it be arranged according to Minister Di's words!"

"But are you sure you can get your hands on this Blue Demon's Tear?"

The Trace-less Tear was with Jinguang himself, and what was used to pair with it was the Blue Demon's Tear.

But the Heavenly Dao Golden List only mentioned the Blue Demon's Tear and did not say what it was. ===== CHAPTER 985 =====
