Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Seeing this situation, Yunqing Urgen said that he had come to talk to him.

It's already quite obvious; they've come to force him to resign.

He is now out of options.

Seeing that Yun Qing Urgen remained silent, the Slavic man beside him said, "Khan, this is what everyone wants. Besides, the attitudes of your tribal leaders are quite clear... Since you're looking for a backer anyway, wouldn't I be a better backer for you?"

What are you struggling with?

Yunqing Urgen gave an awkward smile, then said, "I'm not conflicted; what you've said is indeed a better option. However, what do we need to do to submit to you?"

Without hesitation, the Slavic envoy said, "First, we, the Slavs, will station troops here in your territory! Then, your people will simply assist us in fighting against the Xiao Kingdom."

After a moment of silence, Yunqing Urgen asked the Slavic envoy, "So, you're not going to use us as cannon fodder, are you?"

Upon hearing Yunqing Urgen's words, the Slavic envoys burst into laughter!

"Hahaha, cannon fodder... You don't even have the right to be our cannon fodder! Our war is not the kind of battle you imagine anymore."

"No matter how strong their city walls are, we have our own cannons! Our cannons can blast open their city gates... The most we can ask you to do is help us with logistics."

After the envoys finished speaking, the four chieftains, before Xiao Ce could even reply, began to advise Yun Qing Urgen: "Khan, even if we were to fight for them, they would still look down on us..."

“Excellent...excellent, this is a tremendous benefit for us.”

...

With the persuasion of these four leaders.

Yunqing Urgen looked grim, but he hesitated to give in.

The Slavs were getting a little impatient.

"Khan, you must understand. We are not asking you to make a choice! Or rather, you have no choice! Either surrender to us, or resist us with the people of the Northern Desert Royal Palace."

"Once our negotiations with you break down, before attacking the Northern Desert Prince's Palace, in order to have no worries about our rear... we will definitely attack you. At that time, in order to solve the problem once and for all, we may have to adopt a scorched earth policy!"

Yunqing Urgen frowned.

This isn't negotiation, it's blatant threat.

You know, when has he ever been treated like this before?

"What 'Three Lights'?"

The Slavs' faces hardened: "Kill them all, burn them all, loot them all!"

Yunqing Urgen really wanted to explode on the spot.

Since the establishment of their Turkic state, even those from India who come to negotiate have always been treated with utmost courtesy.

Just then, Yunqing Urgen saw a servant hurrying by at the door.

This servant seems to be a servant from Raven's Company.

He then coughed a few times in a mocking manner: "Gentlemen...gentlemen...I need to drink some herbal medicine. Let's rest for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...I'll go and recover. You all rest for a while too."

Before they could agree, a servant beside Yunqing Urgen helped him to a resting place.

...

The Slavic people laughed when they saw Yun Qing Urgen's expression.

He mocked the four leaders, saying, "Has your Khan been scared away by us?"

The four leaders looked embarrassed and said with forced smiles, "Haha, it's normal for the envoys to be intimidated by such a powerful aura. But don't worry... with the attitude of the four of us... even if he wanted to resist, he wouldn't dare."

"Indeed, to paraphrase a saying from the Xiao Kingdom, he may escape the first day of the month, but he can't escape the fifteenth..."

"Yes, yes... He'll calm down for a while and then he'll know what to do?"

The obsequious manner of the four leaders greatly pleased the members of the Slavic delegation.

They nodded: "Very good, you've done a good job! We are very satisfied with your attitude towards our Slavic country. And that Yunqing Urgen is destined not to become the leader here in the future."

After hearing the Slavic leader's words, the four people's expressions gradually became excited.

"Thank you, esteemed envoys! This time, whether he agrees or not, he has no choice but to agree. Rest assured, we'll show you our strength!"

The four people here were busy fawning over him.

Meanwhile, Yunqing Urgen went to a room outside the hall.

Before the messenger could speak, Yunqing Urgen asked, "Was this a letter from the Prince? If the Prince doesn't come soon, I really can't hold on any longer!"

The servant shook his head as he listened to Yun Qing.Urgen's words.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Yan Jia, the garrison commander on the border between Mo and Tu! However, I don't know the contents of the letter!"

Upon hearing the servant's words, Yunqing Urgen took the letter from his hand without saying a word, and his expression gradually became quite interesting.

Upon seeing the end, the gloom on his face vanished instantly.

"Hahaha, I knew it! His Highness the King of the Northern Desert is a god descended from heaven! I knew he wouldn't forget us!"

Looking at Yun Qing.Urgen's excited expression.

The servant beside Yun Qing Urgen asked, "Khan, is this a letter from the Prince?"

Yunqing Urgen smiled but did not answer. Instead, he subconsciously placed the letter in his hand into the brazier beside him and burned it.

"Go and summon Wei Wuji! And have them surround the palace with their elite troops!"

As he spoke, Yunqing Urgen wrote it down in his own hand.

Then, he sent one of his trusted confidants to deliver the message.

Having done all this, the worry on Yunqing Urgen's face had completely disappeared...

His face was now filled with the confidence and composure he had before.

This confidence naturally came from Xiao Ce.

Just then, several servants of the other leaders came over.

This servant was a servant of Nong Weilong, one of the four leaders.

"Khan, our leader is asking if you are alright. If you have recovered sufficiently, please come over. After all, if we keep those Slavic envoys waiting too long, they might become unhappy!"

Yunqing Urgen snorted coldly: "They are quite considerate!"

When the servant heard Yun Qing and Urgen say this, he didn't dare to respond.

Yunqing Urgen said, "I just took a strong dose of medicine and I'm almost fully recovered! I'm perfectly fine now, let's go."

...

After Yunqing and Urgen returned.

The Slavic delegation inside the hall said with a hint of sarcasm, "Khan, are you alright? It's not because of us that you've become like this, is it? If so, we can't accept it!"

"Actually, since you're not in good health, you could easily delegate authority... Your Turkic country has quite a few talented leaders."

"For example, Chief Nong Weilong's cavalry regiment is very powerful."

"And Chief Cai Yuhong, whose tribe is the richest in your entire Turkic Kingdom."

"Including Chief Bozhuo and Chief Shiwei, their troops are all very skilled in battle!"

"In my opinion, you need to learn to let go. Maybe they'll do even better after you let go!"

An envoy from the Slavic country said this on purpose, seemingly wanting to further anger Yunqing Urgen.

After listening, Yunqing Urgen said to the four leaders, "Oh? The four leaders, is that so? You've really improved a lot... Could it be that you can all stand on your own now?"

Nong Weilong, one of the four leaders, stepped forward and said, "Khan, if you are truly unwell... I think we can help you."

"Yes, Khan, you only need to say one word. You can stay in this palace and be your Khan in peace. You don't need to worry about anything outside!"

"Since you're not feeling well, just rest and recuperate here. We can handle everything!"

Yunqing Urgen looked at their faces.

He did feel some regret, after all, he had never seen their true colors before...

I was really blind.

Thinking of this, he admired Xiao Ce even more.

The people Xiao Ce left behind were all extremely loyal.

These people became his confidants and right-hand men, and these were the people he recruited.

Why do they all seem to have a rebellious streak...?

Just from this one point, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

Especially Wei Wuji.

Xiao Ce left it to him, and he became the most capable and youngest general in his army.

At that time, Wei Wuji could be said to be the most powerful and prestigious general in the entire Turkic Khaganate.

However, due to his flawed decision-making, he was also afraid that Wei Wuji might rebel against him.

He cultivated these four leaders, gradually allowing them to control military power, thereby checking and balancing Wei Wuji.

To everyone's surprise, Wei Wuji had absolutely no intention of rebelling.

On the contrary, seeing that Wei Wuji had become his last resort among the four leaders he had helped to establish, it was a slap in the face to him.

They talked back and forth.

Yun Qing.Urgen's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold snort.

"Who gave you the nerve? Don't you even know your own worth? Do you deserve it?"

The four leaders looked slightly embarrassed, not expecting Yun Qing. Urgen to say such a thing in the presence of Slavs.

Nong Weilong said to Yun Qing.Urgen, "Khan, you should know whether you are worthy or not."

Cai Yuhong's expression was not good at dealing with Yun Qing. Urgen was not good at talking, and he said coldly, "One of us may not be worthy... but do you think the four of us are worthy?"

Upon hearing Cai Yuhong's words, Bo Zhuo's voice gradually turned cold and sharp.

"Yes, the most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness! Khan, in this situation, can't you even tell the situation clearly?"

Shi Wei, who had been silent until now, waved his hand and said, "You guys are just being too coy. Let's just say what we want to say... What Yun Qing Urgen was before, others may not know, but don't we know?"

"He's a bit of a charlatan, his name's something like Yunqing Urgen. He used to be called Zhang Yunqing, just a shabby merchant who got lucky and met Xiao Ce. That's how he ended up as a Khan..."

“Zhang Yunqing, let’s not waste any more words. You previously aligned yourself with Xiao Ce as your backer and became the Khan of this Turkic Kingdom. However, fortunes have changed, and now the Slavic people favor us more! They want to support us, understand?”

"If you're willing to obey, we'll keep you in this palace as our mascots, and we won't harm you. But if you're going to be ungrateful and cause trouble, then don't blame us for being impolite... Prepare to die. And stop pretending!"

"How many weapons do we Turks have? Without the support of the Northern Desert King's Palace, you'll soon be out of weapons. What will you use to challenge us then!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Isn't that what everyone means?"

Shi Wei clearly had a fiery temper, and upon hearing this, he immediately...

The Slavic envoys laughed even harder: "Chief Shiwei is right. That's exactly what I mean!"

Soon the other three leaders nodded in agreement.

At this moment, they showed an unprecedented level of unity.

Upon seeing this, Yunqing Urgen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You four are still too young! Do you even know my trump card? And you've already revealed all yours?"

Nong Weilong snorted coldly: "Zhang Yunqing, we're trying to talk this out, but you won't listen and insist on showing off... Fine... if you want to show off, we'll grant your wish!"

"Today, we've laid all our cards on the table. What can you do about it? What are you going to yell about?"

"That's right, Zhang Yunqing, stop pretending! Just say whether you agree or disagree!"

These people were getting more and more impressive as they talked.

Yunqing Urgen snorted coldly: "Zhang Yunqing? Hmph...that's a really old name! My name now is Yunqing Urgen, the King of the Turks!"

"I've raised all four of you up from the ground up! Since I was able to raise you up, I can also bring you down!"

Yunqing Urgen looked at a servant outside the door and nodded at him from a distance.

"Hmph...Alright, stop wasting your breath on him! Since he still wants to act tough, there's nothing to talk about! Let's go! There will be times when he'll be begging us! Then, it won't be so easy to talk to him!"

The Slavic delegations were completely losing patience.

He got up and prepared to leave.

Yun Qing.Urgen said sternly, "I think you guys are really outrageously arrogant. You probably forgot your heads at home and didn't even bring them with you. You've got those four dogs under control, but you haven't got my men under control yet. You think I won't let you leave my territory? How do you think you can leave?"

The Slavs listened, their faces flashing with disdain: "What? You don't want us to leave?"
