When Kublai heard that an important guest had come, he asked who it was.
The servant in the manor reported, "Fourth Prince, this person is very mysterious. He said that once you see him, you will know. He even asks that you are alone and that no one else is allowed to be present."
Kublai thought to himself: "Is there a mysterious connection between the sudden illness of the Almighty and the visit of a mysterious person?"
Liu Bingzhong said, "Fourth Prince, whether it's a blessing or a curse, a curse cannot be avoided. Let's meet this person first."
"Sure." Kublai said.
Then Liu Bingzhong went to wait behind the screen.
Not long after, a servant brought in a Mongolian man wearing a cloak.
After the person entered the room, he took off his cloak. This was truly out of Kublai's expectations. It turned out that this person was the first prince.
Seeing the look on Kublai's face, Gui Yuan smiled and said, "Why, Kublai, don't tell me that you don't want to treat me to a big bowl of milk? You must know that I have come all the way here hungry and thirsty."
"What do you want to drink with milk tea? It's more like a horse milk drink." Kubler said with a smile on his face.
The noble one said, "You, Kublai, are the one who knows this king. This horse milk wine is something that you can't leave at all times."
The two sat down and gulped down three bowls in a row. Then, Kublai suddenly asked, "Dear senior, why are you and Lin TianAo not here? Why have you suddenly come to the Xing Prefecture, a remote place?"
"This king has nothing better to do than to wait for the Three Treasures Palace." The noble prince sighed and said.
Kublai said, "It must be very important for you to come so far. Hurry up and tell me."
"Do you know that your consort, Princess Gitini, is very ill?" "What is it?"
After hearing his words, Kublai suddenly thought to himself, "I just got the news, why don't you tell me?"
Although Kublai was not happy with Torrigo, he had a good relationship with her son, the first prince. They had been together since childhood, riding and hunting, but because the two families fought over their position in the kingdom, they had less contact with each other.
As such, after hearing the news of his mother's illness, he was extremely touched and said: "Honored master, you are indeed my good brother. To be honest, just a moment ago, you and the steward of the Lin Clan also just arrived and reported this news."
"What are you going to do then, Kublai?" The prince asked.
Kublai said, "I have a problem with my head. As a son, I should immediately rush back."
"At this moment, you must not go back. If you go back, I'm afraid you will fall into my trap." The prince was anxious to dissuade her.
Kubler was startled and asked, "What, this is a scheme devised by the Overseer?"
"That's right, my mufei listened to Great Master Huo Shi's advice and wanted to lure all of you into He Lin City. It wasn't that you were angry to death, it was just that the supervisor had sent people to poison your food, and now, as long as you brothers return to He Lin, you definitely won't be able to come out again. Furthermore, perhaps before you return to He Lin, you might have gotten Huo Shi to lead the Shadow Legion's experts and execute you secretly on the way." It is up to the prince.
"You are telling me all of this. You are indeed my good brother. However, my luck is bad. Even if it is a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, I will still try to break through."
"But this will not save your forehead." It is up to the first prince.
Kublai asked, "Do you have any better methods?"
"Of course there is, but it depends on whether you can cooperate or not." It is up to the first prince.
Kublai said eagerly, "Please tell us. As long as we can keep Akiji safe, we brothers are willing to do anything."
"Kublai, tell me the truth. Ever since I became the overseer of our country, how has Mongolia been developing?"
"Since you treat me, Kublai, as your brother, then just say so. These past few years, our Mongolia has been getting worse and worse." Kublai said.
"In the past, after my father, Khan, had returned to heaven, everyone supported me in being a great Khan. However, mufei insisted that my experience was still insufficient and needed more training, but after so many years, she had no intentions of handing over power. Furthermore, it caused the people of Mongolia to lose all sense of life." The first prince excitedly said.
Kublai asked, "Then what do you mean by expensive?"
"It's very short. Convene a meeting of the Kurulet Family, and let me be the most noble. With my protection, my mother's imperial concubine won't be able to do anything to your Torre Family." The reason was the truth.
"So," thought Kublai, "you have your own selfish motives, not for the sake of our brotherly affection."
"Therefore, this matter is no trivial matter. It concerns the fate of our Torre family. Allow me to consider it, do you think?" Kublai said again.
"This is only natural, but you must know that you and your brothers don't have much time left."
After saying this, the noble elder didn't dare to stay in the Xing Prefecture City for long, and hurried back to the Lin City.
After Liu Bingzhong left, he walked out from behind the screen.
Kublai asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you think about this matter?"
"You may only have feelings of brotherhood, but since the first prince cares about you so much, in my opinion, the most important thing is to win the support of your Torre family. Also, since you have a good relationship with Badu Khan of the West, as long as you get your support, it will have an impact on Badu Khan as well. In addition, we have been talking to Lin's scouts recently about contacting other princes in secret, so he should at least have a 90% chance of success if he were to ascend for the position of the throne." Liu Bingzhong analyzed.
Kublai said, "I don't care who he is. The most important thing is to save Empyrean's life. That is the priority."
"Fourth Prince, don't worry. Even though your forehead appears to be very sick right now, before the prince and your brothers can be eliminated, there is absolutely no danger for your life." Liu Bingzhong said with complete confidence.
Kublai said, "Listening to Mister's analysis, this King's heart is not as anxious as before."
"Actually, with the intelligence of your highness, you can completely think of this matter. Just now, you were just worrying about it, and now you are in chaos." Liu Bingzhong said.
Kublai said, "Mister, you are too modest. In Han Chinese words, you are my Zhuge Liang."
"Zhuge Kongming is the First Sage; how could I dare to compare myself to him?" Liu Bingzhong said politely.
Kublai asked, "Then what should we do next?"
"We have to wait for the right time and support your cause. Now that their family has been split, even if they become a big threat, we are no longer afraid of them." Liu Bingzhong said.
