Chapter 382

After hearing Jiang Yi's three conditions, Qiu Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I cannot agree to any of these three conditions, Your Majesty."

Jiang Yi just looked at Qiu Wan quietly without saying anything.

Qiu Wan cupped his hands and said with a somewhat sad expression: "Your Highness should understand that I have no say in any of these three matters..."

Jiang Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Who can make the decision then?"

"Your Highness, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? The people who can make the decision are naturally the leaders and nobles of Korhan or the leaders of the new forces."

"Do you think they will agree?"

Looking at Jiang Yi's slightly smiling expression, Qiu Wan felt inexplicably sad, sad for Korhan.

No matter what he said now, he knew in his heart that these three conditions could not be rejected by Korhan. No matter whether it was the chieftains or the leaders of the new forces, they could not refuse.

It can even be said that Korhan had no initiative in this "contest" and could only passively accept it.

At this time, Qiu Wan also vaguely understood the plan of the Lord of Western Xinjiang in front of him. He had obviously made preparations for both situations and did not place all his hopes on the leader of the new force.

Compared with those Korhan leaders, the leaders of the new forces are relatively easier to control, but they may also be unruly and too aggressive, making them difficult to control.

If this situation really happened, the Lord of the Western Frontier would probably choose those tribal leaders without hesitation.

The tribal leaders probably could not refuse this huge temptation. After all, once the Korhan Cavalry really rose in their hands, their position would be more stable.

Of course, doing so might lead to betrayal and backlash from some of the leaders of the Korhan tribe, so it all depends on the skill of the Lord of the Western Frontier.

"I will secretly gather the new generation of leaders of Korhan for Your Highness. As for how to talk to them, it depends on Your Highness." Qiu Wan echoed.

After hesitating for a while, he added: "As for the Qiu Batu family..."

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "Manager Qiu doesn't need to do anything. Just inform the old lady. I will discuss the rest with her."

The old lady mentioned here is actually Qiu Wan's mother. After Qiu Wan left Korhan under an assumed name, the old lady became the mainstay of the Qiu Batu family.

Qiu Wan was stunned for a moment, then understood what Jiang Yi meant, and would not give him the chance to interfere in this matter.

Just like what I said before, from now on, there is only the shopkeeper Qiu Wanqiu in the world, and no more Qiu Batu! On this point, Jiang Yi was very tough and there was no room for negotiation.

Although Qiu Wan's position as the chief of Khor Khan had long been in name only, he still had some influence, and he would never allow the resurgent Khor Khan to have another chief.

Qiu Wan bowed carefully and replied, "Okay, I will send a message to my mother tonight."

Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't say anything else, Qiu Wan knew that he was seeing him off, so he said goodbye: "If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

Jiang Yi nodded, and Qiu Wan turned and walked out. There was always an indescribable emotion in his heart, a little excited, because the Korhan Cavalry, which had sunk for thousands of years, finally had a chance to rise again.

But there was also some inexplicable sadness. The rising Khorhan people might find it difficult to get rid of the control of the Lord of Western Xinjiang. If nothing unexpected happened, Qiu Batu, the only golden family of Khorhan, would completely disappear.

At the same time, the Khorhan people had to serve Prince Yi for ten years, which was neither long nor short, and a lot of things could happen during that time. However, with Prince Yi's skills, it was possible that he could become the co-leader of the Khorhan.

"Oh..." Qiu Wan sighed inwardly. He didn't know whether Qiu Batu's family would still exist in ten years. Maybe he should do the same as him now, completely hide his identity and stay away from Korhan.

This is better than being bloodily cleansed out ten years later...

Or should they just reject Prince Yi? Give up this chance to rise? This would be the safest and most reliable option for the Qiu Batu family, but... as he said before, the final decision was not in the hands of the Qiu Batu family.

Without their Qiubatu family, Prince Yi can still contact those Khorhan leaders and even recruit those lower-level Khorhan people. It just takes more time.

But the final bloody purge will surely come upon Korhan.

"Or should I remain silent and wait until the curse of the Korhan people that they can never ride on horseback in their lifetime is broken before taking action?" But this thought only flashed through his mind.

This Prince Yi was able to rise rapidly in just a few years and was definitely not an incompetent person. Since he dared to recruit Khor Khan in this way, he must have some checks and balances in secret, and he was even confident that he could keep Khor Khan under control within ten years.

"Forget it. I don't have the talent and vision that a tribal leader should have. I can't shoulder this heavy responsibility. Let mother deal with Prince Yi. I believe that with mother's wisdom, she will find a way out for Korhan..."

Qiu Wan's back was somewhat desolate, and he looked as if he had aged a lot all of a sudden. From childhood to adulthood, he had been trying to escape from Korhan. Now that he had a chance to completely and forever get rid of Korhan, he felt somewhat empty instead.

Not until Qiu Wan's figure completely disappeared did Jiang Yi turn his gaze towards the direction he left.

However, there was no wavering on his face. The Colehan family must disappear. In the next ten years, the Colehan cavalry must become a sharp sword in his hands.

Just like the Cossack cavalry on Earth in the previous life, the Korhan cavalry would become his vanguard, following the direction of the king's flag.

"Your Highness, will the news leak out? Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on Qiu Wan?" Ding Ren beside him asked in a low voice.

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "No, at worst I can just try another option."

Just as Qiu Wan guessed, in addition to these, he had many other options, such as those Korhan leaders and the Korhan slaves struggling at the bottom. However, with the Qiu Batu family guiding and mediating, a lot of trouble would be saved.

Ding Ren didn't say anything else. He silently took a few steps back and stood in the corner.

Qiu Wan was very efficient. Just two days later, an old woman entered the East Demon Realm under the cover of a trading company.

Then, under Jiang Yi's arrangement, he quietly entered [Xijiang Prefecture] without attracting anyone's attention.

"I've heard of the old lady's fame for a long time, and today I finally have the honor of seeing her in person." In the Xijiang Mansion, Jiang Yi walked towards a silver-haired old lady with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are exaggerating. I am honored to be summoned by Your Highness." The old lady was very humble and performed a grassland salute to Jiang Yi who was walking towards her.

"I just don't know how the prince plans to deal with our Qiu Batu family?"

Just like her smart and capable appearance, the old lady also spoke directly and got straight to the point in her second sentence.

Jiang Yi also put away the smile on his face. This was an issue that neither side could avoid, and it was even the prerequisite for whether they could reach a future cooperation.
