I really became a king.

Chapter 402: Suppressing the New Eight Banners
It was a huge project to transform the messy and muddy tent area into an open and flat racecourse, but the Korhan people completed it in such a short time.

From this we can see that Korhan still has strength, and it is hidden very deeply, so he can easily deceive the Xifan Dynasty and the Baiyue Dynasty.

"My Lord, how about this racecourse?"

Helian, leader of the Zhenghong Banner, stood there and pointed at the racecourse the size of a football field and asked. Although his tone was not domineering, his intention of demonstration was very obvious.

Jiang Yi nodded, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Ding Ren's "hidden intention".

Because during An Hu's secret investigation, he did not find any remaining heritage of the Khorkhan people. In other words, in front of the Khorkhan people, their Yi Wang Mansion became "blind" just like the Xifan and Baiyue dynasties.

Helian's behavior, which was extremely showy, caused dissatisfaction among quite a few of the Khorhan Eight Banners leaders present. According to them, too many secrets should not be revealed in front of Prince Yi, an outsider.

Unfortunately, a group of people led by Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, insisted on using this method to declare Korhan's hidden background to Prince Yi in order to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

In the eyes of Helian and others, although Korhan has apparently declined, he still has a strong foundation and does not necessarily have to rely on Prince Yi's Palace.

But in the eyes of Gulun, the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner, and others, it was just the opposite. Exposing Khor Khan's hidden background from the very beginning would only make Prince Yi's line more wary of Khor Khan.

The correct approach should be to show weakness and reduce the guard of Prince Yi's Mansion against Khor Khan. Khor Khan would take the opportunity to grow stronger in secret and wait for the right opportunity.

Unfortunately, although Gulun and others occupied an absolute majority, they were unable to suppress the hardliners headed by Helian.

Not to mention that they couldn't suppress it, even Su Moer, who was nominally the leader of the Eight Banners, couldn't suppress it. Even the Qiu Batu family, which still had a lot of influence in the Khorkhan, couldn't suppress it.

In the final analysis, although the Eight Banners of Khorhan, which had just been established not long ago, are now gathered together, there are many contradictions among them, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else. In fact, it is a state of division.

Jiang Yi could sense that Su Moer, who was sitting next to him, obviously didn't like Helian's flamboyance and never once glanced at the racecourse from beginning to end.

Jiang Yi seemed to be thinking about something, secretly wondering what he could do with this to achieve the goal of dividing the Eight Banners of Khorhan.

Before he completely controlled the Eight Banners of Khorkhan, the more conflicts there were within Khorkhan, the better.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Seeing that Jiang Yi did not answer the previous question, Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, asked again.

"Very good." Jiang Yi simply replied with three words, and asked, "I wonder how you would like the flag master to verify it?"

Then Helian made a gesture towards the racecourse, and the white tarpaulin surrounding the racecourse opened a hole, and hundreds of Korhan people walked out.

Each Korhan man held a warhorse in his hand, with a hint of nervousness on his face, as well as a hint of excitement and anticipation that he was trying hard to suppress.

"Your Highness, as long as you can let these Khorhan people get back on horseback on the spot, and without violating the fundamental interests of the Khorhan, the Khorhan will allow Your Highness to command them in the next two years!" said Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner.

Jiang Yi did not comment, but turned to look at the side and asked: "Su Moer, can the words of Helian Banner Master represent the entire Korhan?"

Helian's face turned gloomy when he heard this.

However, Su Moer gave Jiang Yi a cold look. The name Su Moer was not something that anyone could call her by. Only those who were extremely close to her were qualified to call her by these three words.

Dozens of new Korhan leaders gathered at the scene, but the only one who was qualified to call her "Su Moer" directly was Gulun, the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner.

But now, this Prince Yi simply doesn't treat himself as an outsider. Knowing the Khorhan people's customs in this regard, he still addresses himself so intimately. He is so shameless.

"This is the intention of our entire Korhan." Su Moer still replied.

Jiang Yi smiled, stood up, glanced at Su Moer beside him, then looked at the new nobles of the Eight Banners below him, gently waved his index finger, and shook his head:
"I guess you still don't understand the situation..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the new nobles of the Eight Banners of Korhan present changed, and the originally harmonious atmosphere in the field instantly froze.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Helian turned around and said unkindly, "Two years is not a short time! If Your Majesty does not agree today..."

"Oh? I can tell you clearly that I will not agree to it!" The original ten years became two years, a reduction of four fifths. If he agreed, he would really be making wedding dresses for the upstarts of the Eight Banners present.

Jiang Yi doesn't think he is that great, and he will never let Korhan have a chance to regain his independence.

Looking at Helian and other flag owners who were glaring at him covetously, and hearing the faint sound of swords clashing coming from outside the white tarpaulin, Jiang Yi had a grim expression.

"Why? You want to keep me here?"

"Haha, Your Majesty should know that if the people from Xifan and Baiyue Dynasty knew that Your Majesty is here, it would be difficult for Your Majesty to return to Demon Realm Pass..." Helian did not hide his threat at all.

But what he said was true. Right now, the Western Frontier Corridor was a dangerous place for Jiang Yi. Once the two major border dynasties knew he was here, they would probably kill him at all costs.

But Jiang Yi showed no fear at all, and said coldly: "Whether I can return to the Demon Realm Pass safely is yet to be determined, but there is one thing I am very sure of, Khorhan will usher in a bloody purge, and everyone present here, and even the newly formed Khorhan Eight Banners, will be wiped out!"

There was no exaggeration or falsehood in what he said. If Xifan and Baiyue Dynasty knew that the Khorhan people had hidden such a huge background and were secretly planning to unite with the Dali Dynasty, they would definitely raise their butcher knives decisively and kill the Khorhan people until rivers of blood flowed, completely depriving them of the capital to make a comeback.

There are also those Korhan leaders who have already completely surrendered to the grassland nobles and will never allow the power in their hands to be stripped away by the Eight Banners, and they will show no mercy when it comes to killing.

"If we use the prince as a token of our surrender, I think the Xiban Dynasty will reward us Korhan handsomely. The prince is a great threat to them..." Helian was unmoved.

"This is just the wishful thinking of Banner Master Helian. I don't believe it. What about you?" Jiang Yi looked at the other banner masters and chiefs of the eight banners who had been silent.

Gulun, the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner, E'ye, the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner, and Kulon, the leader of the Bordered White Banner, all remained silent. Although they did not agree with Helian's threats, they did not mind if it could gain more initiative for Korhan.

"Su Moer, what do you think?" Jiang Yi finally looked at the petite figure beside him.

Su Moer rolled her eyes at him angrily. Here you go again. How can you call Jiang Yi Su Moer casually? She snorted and gave him a slap on the back of her head again.

Jiang Yi didn't care. He resisted the urge to reach out and touch the other person's head. He turned his gaze to the Eight Banners people present, pointed a finger again, and said:

"There is one point you have never understood, and it is the most crucial point!" The leaders of the eight banners and other Khorhan's followers below pricked up their ears instantly, because they knew that Jiang Yi had begun to counterattack. If they could not stop this counterattack, Khorhan would completely lose the initiative in the next ten years.

Even Su Moer, who had been angrily ignoring Jiang Yi, turned around and looked at Jiang Yi.

The moon was at its zenith at that time, and a ray of moonlight shone through the hole in the tarpaulin above his head, shining on Jiang Yi, making Jiang Yi the only bright light in the entire scene.

"It's actually pretty good..." For a moment, Su Moer's eyes were a little blurry, but she quickly came to her senses.

She was well aware of her identity and situation. She could only live for Korhan in this life and had to put all other personal feelings aside. This was the responsibility given to her by her blood, and it was also the pain that she had to endure because of her prominent position.

Jiang Yi was not paying attention to Su Moer behind him at this time. Instead, he looked at all the new nobles of the Eight Banners with fierce eyes and said loudly: "The Eight Banners are Korhan, but Korhan is not just the Eight Banners!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the new nobles of the Eight Banners in the audience suddenly changed.

Jiang Yi had no intention of stopping, and continued: "To put it bluntly, you so-called Khorhan Eight Banners are nothing now, without any deterrent power. Not to mention Xifan and Baiyue Dynasty, even those Khorhan leaders who have lost their glory can easily crush you!"

"What qualifications do you have to challenge this king?"

"Without you, I can find those corrupt Korhan leaders. I can even establish new Eight Banners, Eight Territories, and Eight Tribes at any time if I want!"

"Although Korhan has fallen, there are still people with lofty ideals. Without you, Korhan can still rise again in their hands!"

"In the final analysis, it is not me who is asking for help from Korhan, but Korhan who is asking for help from me!"

Jiang Yi stood on the spot and spoke a series of words, each of which hit the pain points of the new nobles of the Eight Banners of Khorhan directly, leaving them with no way to argue.

The entire tent, including the hundreds of Khorhan people who were leading their horses and waiting quietly for the race, fell silent because they really didn't know how to refute.

Especially when Jiang Yi said that he could support new Khorkhan Eight Banners nobles at any time, many of the hundreds of Khorkhan people who were leading horses there had their eyes flickering. If that was true, then this would be their chance!

Seeing that none of the new nobles of the Eight Banners of Khorhan spoke, Jiang Yi smiled, turned around and sat back in his seat, picked up the water cup beside him and started drinking.

But as soon as I put it in my mouth, I felt something was wrong, as if there was some special taste.

Then he saw Su Moer sitting beside him, glaring at him.

Jiang Yi then realized that he had been in for such a long time but he hadn't even been served a cup of tea. It was not only that he did it deliberately to show his power but also that he really forgot about it for a moment.

"Su Moer, do you think what the king said is right?"

Hearing Jiang Yi's words which were obviously a little frivolous, the tall image in Su Moer's eyes just now collapsed instantly. She reached out and pushed the teacup that Jiang Yi had put back in its original place in front of Jiang Yi.

But the cup was empty. Fulong, who had been standing silently beside him, picked up the teapot and refilled it for Jiang Yi with a smile.

Although he was somewhat uncomfortable with his prince's romantic nature, he did not really mind it. After all, as a royal family, they had to expand and the more people, the better.

Amidst the silence in the room, Jiang Yi picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. After taking a sip, he asked, and exclaimed in admiration.

This attitude was out of tune with the solemn atmosphere in the room, but no one felt it was abrupt. After all, in this kind of competition for interests, whoever takes the initiative will be the final winner.

But Su Moer couldn't stand it anymore. She dodged the teacup in Jiang Yi's hand with a blushing face, held it in her hand and hid it in her sleeve.

Jiang Yi had almost finished drinking, so he simply leaned back in his chair and waited for the Khorhan people's final decision.

Finally, it was Gulun, the leader of the Bordered Yellow Banner, who stood up and said, "If Your Majesty can really let the Khorhan people ride on horses again, the Khorhan people are willing to let Your Majesty drive them for the next ten years."

"So we have reached an agreement?" Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Gulun did not deny it, but he did not give a positive answer either. Instead, he said, "But the Korhan Eight Banners have just been established. We need time to stabilize the internal situation. We may not be able to help the prince in a short period of time."

Jiang Yi smiled, stood up, shook his head and said, "You still don't have sincerity. Never mind. I won't force you. I believe you will make a choice at the Horse Herding Conference tomorrow."

"To be honest, I have plenty of time, but you Korhan... I'm afraid you don't have that much time..."

"Don't think that I am begging you to help me because I am trapped both internally and externally."

"But it's useless to say more now. Everything will be clear tomorrow. You will know who is begging whom then!"

The Eight Banners nobility present didn't quite understand what Jiang Yi meant. Could something happen tomorrow? That was impossible. They hadn't received any news at all.

"Before you leave, I will let you witness my methods with your own eyes, so that you won't think that I am fooling you."

After saying this, there was no sign of any spiritual aura emanating from Jiang Yi's body. He turned his wrist upwards, flicked his middle finger lightly, and ten streams of light flew out of his hand and fled towards the racecourse.

Although the new nobles of the Eight Banners present were greatly restricted because of falling off their horses, they still had a solid foundation and were all people with high cultivation. All of them were concentrating on looking at the ten streams of light.

They had already guessed something from Jiang Yi's words. Helian and the others had greed in their eyes and subconsciously put their fists in, silently waiting for the ten streams of light to pass over their heads.

Jiang Yi sensed it and thought it was a pity. If it wasn't necessary to subdue Khorhan as soon as possible and use him for his own purposes, he really wanted to take this opportunity to carry out a massacre to shock the new nobles of Khorhan's Eight Banners.

But now is not the right time...

However, Jiang Yi would not give Helian and others a chance to attack. After the ten streams of light left his hand, they disappeared strangely. When they reappeared, they were already above the heads of the hundreds of Korhan people who were leading horses in the racecourse.

After circling for a while, each of them shot out a crystal, which directly sank into the bodies of the ten people below.

These ten people were selected by Jiang Yi himself, and I believe they will bring him different surprises in the near future.
