The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 205 Agreement reached
The main camp at Zijin Mountain outside Yingtian Prefecture.

The envoys from various countries sat on a high platform, enjoying refreshments and tea served by the maids.

The weather was extremely hot. Crown Prince Zhu Biao sat on a high platform, with two maids fanning him. Ice blocks nearby emitted wisps of cool air, making him feel extremely comfortable.

These envoys didn't receive such good treatment, yet they were sweating profusely in the sweltering heat.

On one hand, the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty's elite troops was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

Meanwhile, inside the room, a conversation was taking place.

One of the two men inside was Zhu Xiong Ying, the grandson of the Ming emperor, and the other was Bayan Bo, an envoy of Prince Qi, Kökö Temür.

The content of their conversation could completely determine the course of the world.

Everyone was extremely uneasy.

The envoy from the Tuohuochi tribe was somewhat worried.

Since the last great battle where King Kökö Temür of Qi suffered a crushing defeat, the territory of King Kökö Temür is now not far from his own tribe.

Kökö Temür's choice was extremely important for his tribe.

Nairbuhua's envoy patted the man on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Prince Qi is an important minister of the Northern Yuan. He would never have any connection with the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps this is a divisive tactic by the Ming Dynasty!"

Gu Siwen, the envoy of the Tuohuochi tribe, nodded and forced a smile.

"Of course! His Highness Prince Qi has led troops in battle against the Ming Dynasty on numerous occasions. He is an invaluable talent in our country. How could I possibly doubt him!"

Gu Siwen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Nairbuhua's messenger looked at him with a half-smile.

"Speaking of which, your tribe's chieftain, Tuohuoqi, was very close to my Grand Commandant, Naierbuhua. However, they became estranged due to the war. We should keep in touch more often in the future!"

Gu Siwen paused for a moment, then looked at Nai'er Buhua's envoy.

Today, the various tribes of the Yuan Dynasty are severely divided.

There are also several extremely powerful forces within the royal court.

The most important figure is the current emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Togus Temur, followed by the Left Chancellor, Kökö Temur, and the Grand Commandant, Nairbuqa. In addition, each tribe also has its own power.

Gu Siwen frowned deeply.

"What do you mean by that, sir? I don't understand."

Guswin said with a smile.

"You're a smart person, I don't need to say more about that!"

"Kokötemur's forces are extremely powerful. Whether he surrenders to the Ming Dynasty or guards a region, his strength is too great!"

"And your tribe is very close to him. There is an old saying among the people of the Central Plains: 'How can one allow another to sleep soundly beside one's bed?'"

"Brother, you should think this over carefully!"

Gu Siwen kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Since Kökö Temür stepped down, their tribal chief, Tuohuoqi, hasn't had a single night of peaceful sleep, fearing that the King of Qi will annex his power.

"Oh, you mean Grand Commandant?"

Gu Siwen smiled and nodded.

"This is the best choice you've ever made, and it might even be the only choice in the future!"

"King Qi's power had long been too great to control, and the local authorities were extremely wary of him. They originally thought that there was still Nahachu who could contend with him, but who would have thought that this unlucky fellow would die so unexpectedly!"

"The Grand Commandant is now His Majesty's most relied-upon force; you should give this matter much consideration!"

"If there really is nothing between Kökö Töngke and the Ming Dynasty, why would the ambassador agree to the request from the Ming Dynasty's crown prince?" "Judging from the time, the two must have had a very pleasant conversation!"

Just then, the courtyard gate suddenly opened, and the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, seemed to be in a very good mood.

All the envoys instinctively looked in the direction of the Crown Prince Zhu Xiong Ying. They were very curious about what Bayan Bo and Zhu Xiong Ying had talked about that made Zhu Xiong Ying so happy.

Zhu Xiong Ying approached Crown Prince Zhu Biao with a face full of excitement.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao asked impatiently.

"Is it done?"

Zhu Xiong Ying: "It's done! We can finally breathe a sigh of relief about the situation in the north!"

The crowd vaguely heard these words and felt somewhat worried.

It's done? What's done? Could it be that Kökö Töregen and the Ming Dynasty have some kind of plan? Bayan Bo walked out of there, feeling dizzy.

Gu Siwen was the most anxious and rushed over immediately.

"Brother Bayanbo, I wonder what you and His Highness the Crown Prince are discussing? If you come across any good ways to make money, don't forget me!"

Bayanbo recalled what Zhu Xiong Ying had told him: although the wool business wasn't important, how could he easily give up such a good business?
The more people there are, the more they can share the spoils; ultimately, it is up to His Highness Prince Qi to decide how to proceed.

"What's there for me to talk about with the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty? It's nothing more than trying to persuade my Prince Qi to surrender. Unfortunately, my Prince Qi is loyal to His Majesty and would never side with these Ming people!"

"Do you perhaps doubt the loyalty of my Prince Qi?"

Gu Siwen gave a cold laugh.

"Really? I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to have such great patience. Jin Jin only wanted to persuade you to surrender, yet it took him so long. It seems that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty values ​​Kökö Tölö highly!"

"Kokuo is a rare talent in our Great Yuan Dynasty. Even His Majesty highly praises him, saying that Prince Qi is the pillar of our Great Yuan Dynasty!"

"So your plan has been finalized?"

Bayanbo was just fooled by Zhu Xiong Ying and hasn't quite figured it out yet.

They assumed that Guswin was referring to their plan to buy wool.

"It's done, uh, how did you know?"

Bayanbo subconsciously sensed that something was amiss.

Wasn't it said that no one except him knew about this wool-buying plan? How did this person find out?
"Wait, we've been tricked!"

Bayanbo said angrily.

"Oh, so you dared to trick me!"

Gu Siwen's expression turned grim; it was clear that the two sides had reached some kind of agreement.

The Tuohuoqi tribe was located between the Kuokuo tribe and the Ming border army. If these two sides really had any designs on each other, the Tuohuoqi tribe would be the first to be affected.

"So, you two are indeed in cahoots. Could it be that Prince Qi and the Ming Dynasty are planning to cooperate in destroying my tribe or handing over the emperor of my Great Yuan Dynasty to Emperor Zhu?"

Bayan Bo's expression changed drastically, and the envoys around him looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Nairbuhua's envoy smiled knowingly.

Nairbuhua and Kökö Temür have always had a strained relationship, so if they can damage Kökö Temür's prestige on the grasslands, it will definitely be a good thing for them.

Bayanbo secretly thought to himself, "This is bad."

Originally, I thought that the matter of the wool was of utmost importance and should not be leaked under any circumstances. Now, if I don't reveal this matter, everyone will probably think that King Qi has sided with the Ming Dynasty.

So Bayanbo revealed the story of buying wool, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

"Bayan Bo, do you think we're fools?"
