I really became a king.

Chapter 409 Clearing the Place
Just as night fell, the tent area of ​​the Korhan people outside the Western Demon Realm was bustling with people, even more lively than during the day.

Especially on the avenues specially prepared for the trading market, the lights are bright and all kinds of people are flowing.

Not only the temporary trading market, but also those dilapidated tent areas were brightly lit and filled with all kinds of noise.

In sharp contrast, the areas where the nobles of Xifan and Baiyue dynasties lived were completely silent.

It was late at night, and the nobles and dignitaries of the two dynasties had already gone to bed early to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's horse herding meeting.

Deep in the dilapidated tent area of ​​Korhan, Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, was sitting in his tent, with seven or eight people sitting below him.

"Master, do we really want to do this?" a confidant asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I have decided. I will go to meet the Sixth Prince of Xifan later!" Helian affirmed, "This is our chance!"

The confidant was a little worried and said, "But I'm afraid Korhan will be slaughtered in a bloody massacre..."

"So what? The more we kill, the better. This way we will have a chance to become the new leader of Korhan." Another confidant said coldly, his eyes full of bloodthirsty excitement.

“But it may cause Colehan to lose the opportunity to rise again…” The first confidant was still a little hesitant.

Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, glanced at the other party and sneered, "Re-emergence? What good will Korhan's re-emergence bring us?"

"You haven't figured it out yet? That Prince Yi will never let us, the new nobles of the Eight Banners, inherit his bloodline. Even if we have hundreds of thousands of Khorhan cavalry under our command, what will it matter? How can we suppress these Khorhan cavalry?"

"To put it bluntly, we, the new nobles of the Eight Banners, are destined to be tools of Prince Yi. Once he has cultivated his confidants within Korhan, he will definitely purge us, the old Eight Banners!"

As soon as Helian finished speaking, one of his confidants immediately echoed him, "Right, rather than waiting until then to be bullied, it's better to fight now!"

Helian nodded, looked at the seven or eight people in the room, stood up and said, "What's wrong with Korhan maintaining the status quo? This will help us control Korhan. A resurgent Korhan may not be beneficial to us."

Although he was one of the newly established Eight Banners of Khorhan, he never took it seriously. He just regarded it as a stepping stone for future advancement. He planned to inform the Western Tibet Dynasty when the time was right as a token of his advancement.

Originally everything was under his control, but Prince Yi suddenly appeared, forcing him to launch the plan ahead of schedule.

The confidant fell silent first, as if he knew that he was powerless to change the decision of tonight.

He glanced at the seven or eight confidants in the tent and saw that no one objected. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "After tomorrow, there will be no more Eight Banners in Khor Khan!"

"Eight Banners? It's just a joke from a little girl!"

"I wonder what the three banners of Zhenglan, Zhengbai and Xiangbai mean?" asked a confidant.

Among the Eight Banners of Khorkhan, the four banners of the Plain Yellow Banner, the Bordered Yellow Banner, the Bordered Blue Banner and the Bordered Red Banner were basically united, and all of them were determined to lead Khorkhan to break free from the control of Xifan and Baiyue and restore the glory of their ancestors. They were not the same kind of people as them.

On the contrary, the leaders of the remaining three flags, the Pure Blue, Pure White and Bordered White, have been hesitant. Rather than leading Khorkhan to rise again, they prefer to maintain the status quo and become the new leader of Khorkhan.

Helian had secretly tried to test it, but the three flag owners all had an ambiguous attitude.

But after meeting with Prince Yi today, seeing that they could not obtain the secret of activating the bloodline inheritance from the ten Khorkhan cavalrymen, the attitudes of the three banner owners changed subtly. Although they did not say it explicitly, their words implied that they had given up the Khorkhan Eight Banners Oath.

However, they also implicitly expressed that they did not want to have their hands stained with the blood of the Khorkhan people, and were only willing to support him as a Khorkhan leader when the time was right.

"Hypocrisy!" Helian was full of disdain. This was a typical case of wanting to be a whore and also want to be a saint.

However, for a period of time afterwards, Helian still needed these three people to help him consolidate his position as the leader, so he would not show any dissatisfaction.

But it’s hard to say what will happen once you have established your foothold in the future.

"It's settled. I will go and seek an audience with the Sixth Prince of Xifan now. Given the Sixth Prince's temper, he will definitely conduct a massive purge of Khor Khan tonight. By tomorrow morning, we will become the chief nobles of Khor Khan." Helian, the leader of the Zhenghong Banner, said with a smile.

At this moment, a figure walked into the tent, bowed to Helian and said, "Flag Master, something is wrong."

Helian raised his eyebrows, somewhat unconcerned. This huge and dilapidated tent area was the base camp of the Eight Banners, where no one could get in. And this was the old nest of his Zhenghong Banner, surrounded by his people.

But he still asked out loud: "What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, the attendant was unable to say anything, and only stammered: "It seems a little too peaceful and...natural."

Helian walked over, lifted the tent curtain and looked outside. Everything looked just like usual. Children were playing, women and children were tidying up the pots and pans, and the young and middle-aged people were combing the war horses they were taking care of... Everything was normal.

"What a fuss!" Helian glared at his trusted follower with dissatisfaction, lowered the door curtain and walked back.

"Isn't peace and nature good? It's just right for us to hide our existence. But soon we won't need to hide anymore. We will become Korhan nobles openly!"

A burst of laughter rang out in the tent, and even the trusted follower was laughing excitedly.

"You are so self-righteous!"

Suddenly a voice was heard outside, and the laughter in the tent stopped abruptly. Helian frowned, as this voice gave him a familiar feeling.

Following this voice, a burst of dense footsteps was heard outside the tent.

Helian felt something was wrong, so he opened the door curtain and walked out. When he saw the situation outside, his face changed. He saw that the tents around his tent that were used to protect his identity were gone, and instead there was a team of hundreds of Korhan warriors, and he was very familiar with the leader.

"It's you!" Helian looked a little surprised, "You're not dead?"

Nalan Zhu grinned and nodded: "Yes, I am not dead, so I come to kill you now!" This was the man in front of him who killed his son, took away his wife, and almost killed him too.

And now, he's back for revenge.

Boermu also stepped forward at this time, looked at Helian and his group with murderous intent, and said with a fierce smile: "The prince asked us to take your heads!"

Prince? Helian and the others didn't react for a moment, but they immediately guessed who this prince was. He would not sit and wait for death, and was about to shout something, but was interrupted by Nalanzhu: "Don't waste your breath, no one will come to save you."

"How dare you betray me!" Helian looked at one of his close followers standing on the periphery and watching coldly. He understood everything. He was betrayed by the person closest to him.

"Betrayal? When you wantonly bullied our wives and daughters, did you ever treat us as human beings..."

Nalanzhu didn't want to waste any more time, fearing that something unexpected might happen, so he said, "Don't waste time, send them on their way."

With a fierce laugh, Boermu rushed towards Helian and the others first. With his cultivation of the sixth level of martial arts, he was able to crush them.

"You...you have awakened the bloodline inheritance?!" Helian's face was filled with horror. If the other party had not awakened the bloodline inheritance, he would still have the confidence to fight. But now, with such a huge gap in strength, Charland alone could kill all seven or eight of them.

Nalanzhu did not join the battle, but said to the hundreds of men around him: "Go, kill everyone related to them!"

Although Jiang Yi did not give him the order to massacre, he knew how to guess his master's intention. From the moment he chose to submit to Jiang Yi, he told himself that he must become the sharpest butcher knife in Prince Yi's hand!

"Chief, Madam..." a confidant beside him asked cautiously.

"I said, don't leave any one alive!" Nalan Zhu said in a cold voice.

From the moment she gave birth to Helian and didn't give birth to his offspring, their relationship was broken. Even if she was forced to do so, or had other noble reasons, she had nothing to do with him, Nalanzhu.

The most important thing is that Nalan Zhu understands what it means to cut the grass at its roots, and he does not want to leave hidden dangers for his master because of his momentary leniency.

"Nalanzhu, Bormu, do you really want to kill us all? The Eight Banners will not let you go!" Helian was already being forced to retreat step by step at the hands of Bormu, and roared unwillingly.

"Eight Banners? Don't worry, the Eight Banners will still exist after you die, but there will be a major change. It's a pity that you won't be able to see it..."

Although they tried their best to suppress it, the sounds of fierce fighting and the roars of Helian and others still spread far away, drowning out the noise in the tent area.

A few miles away, in the noble tent area where the Xifan and Baiyue grassland nobles lived, Yuanlang was drinking with a Xifan noble, and several graceful figures were dancing below the table.

However, the sound of fighting coming from Korhan's tent area still reached the ears of the Xifan nobles. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

Yuan Lang, the old leader of Khorhan, listened attentively and said with a smile: "It must be that those inferior Khorhan people have quarreled again. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it."

The Xifan noble sneered: "So you Korhans are not up to the standard. Even in this situation, you are still fighting each other all day long."

Yuanlang smiled awkwardly. Indeed, although the Khorhan people were of low status and were slaves, they often fought and killed each other.

The Xixia royal family member did not really ignore it, especially thinking that now was the critical moment for planning and layout, and nothing could go wrong.

He turned to a trusted follower who had just walked in and said, "Go check what's going on."

Yuan Lang smiled on the surface, but in his heart he said "Oh no!". If the people of the Xifan Dynasty really went to investigate, the ongoing siege would surely be exposed.

The most important thing is that it is likely to disrupt the layout of your new master.

He was extremely nervous and his hands subconsciously fell to his thighs, with the hilt of the knife at his waist within reach.

He didn't want to let Colehan lose this opportunity to rise. If the other party really found out something, he might have to act in advance.

Fortunately, Prince Yi had a thorough plan and had already considered this situation and had an emergency plan. But the Korhan people were about to go through a bloody baptism.

"Your Highness, I just came back from there. It was two low-level Khorhans with some power fighting for a woman. I believe they were killing each other." The trusted follower did not really investigate, but bowed and replied.

The Xifan royal family sneered, apparently they were used to it. This was also what their Xifan Dynasty wanted to see, they had to find something for those lowly Khorhan people to do.

"Oh? What does the woman look like?" But he was more concerned about what the woman looked like. She might be a pearl buried among the lower-class Khorhan people.

"This subordinate didn't see it clearly, just a quick glance, but it should suit Your Majesty's taste. Why don't you go and get the woman for Your Majesty?"

The Xifan royal family did not say anything, but just nodded slightly. The trusted follower bowed in understanding and turned to leave the tent.

Yuan Lang next to him lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes full of shock.

He never thought that Prince Yi was so powerful that he had already planted an insider around the Xifan royal family. But he finally put his heart at ease.

After leaving the tent, the trusted guard walked directly to Korhan's tent area without stopping for a moment. From a distance, he saw a pair of Xifan cavalrymen who were about to go over to check the roar of fighting and killing, and he could not help but shouted:
"You don't have to go. The prince already knows what happened over there, and he ordered me to bring back some fun. Don't spoil the prince's fun."

"Also, go and inform the rangers patrolling the Korhan tent area not to meddle in other people's business. If you spoil the prince's mood, you will suffer."

The Xifan cavalry heard this and responded and dispersed to pass on the order, feeling happy. The tent area of ​​the Korhan people stank to high heaven, and no one was willing to go in unless it was a routine patrol.

The trusted guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the tent in the distance, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, another veteran leader, Charland, had already led a pair of guards into the Korhan tent area, but did not go too far forward. Instead, he was slowly cruising not far from the fighting area.

It just happened to separate Su Moer of the Plain Yellow Banner, Gulun of the Bordered Yellow Banner and other Eight Banners, causing the new nobles of the Eight Banners such as Gulun to not dare to get close at all, let alone interfere in the massacre.

"The prince's first step has been successful..." Charland grinned to himself.

As for the new nobles of the Eight Banners, such as Gulun, Kulon, and Eye, they were shocked. Although they were not very sure, they had already guessed the mastermind behind the killing.

This must be the backup plan left by Prince Yi. He wants to get rid of the stumbling block Helian.

But they were really surprised and wondered, when did Prince Yi gain control of a Korhan force? And how did he hide it from Xifan and Baiyue Dynasty?

Thinking about the choices they would face tomorrow, they felt a little uneasy. They seemed to have underestimated Prince Yi.
