I really became a king.

Chapter 433 Secret Talk
Hearing the question from Prince Guo Jiang Huan, Jiang Yi did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "The Imperial Uncle has said it, what can I plan? I will naturally follow the Imperial Grandfather's arrangements."

Mo Ruhai, who was half a body length behind, smiled bitterly in his heart. He was afraid that no one would believe this if he said it out loud. If everything had been arranged according to the emperor's arrangement, the massacre a few days ago would not have happened.

Jiang Huan was prepared in his heart, and did not continue the topic, but changed the subject: "You are still young, and the emperor's uncle hopes that you will not be affected by the grievances of the previous generation. After all, there were too many helplessness at that time."

After saying that, he stared at Jiang Yi motionlessly, including Mo Ruhai who was also concentrating on watching the changes in Jiang Yi's expression.

Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little angry. This slight change in expression immediately startled Prince Guo and Mo Ruhai, and they all thought to themselves: Could it be that he really knew the secret?

If this is true, it will be troublesome. This knot may never be resolved, and the one in the imperial capital of Dali will never keep a tiger as a threat and tolerate Prince Yi to continue living.

Jiang Yi sensed the psychological changes of the two people, and he was also clear about the interests involved, so before he was completely convinced, he would never be foolish enough to reveal that he knew the "secret of inheritance".

But there was still a trace of anger on his face, and he sighed unwillingly: "How could it be that there is no impact at all..."

Hearing this, Jiang Huan and Mo Ruhai's hearts skipped a beat. If it was really as they guessed, and the Prince Yi in front of them already knew the truth about their life experience, then their trip to Western Xinjiang would be meaningless.

This is the most important purpose of their trip to Western Xinjiang, or even the only purpose.

Before coming to Western Xinjiang, the Emperor of Dali secretly summoned the two of them and told them in detail how he had replaced one thing with another in the past, and how Prince Duan had replaced another thing with another.

At that time, the two of them just felt their heads buzzing, and felt that this matter was too absurd and too shocking.

Those who knew the secret of inheritance had always believed that Prince Duan was the descendant of the previous Fourteenth Master, but it turned out that was not the case at all. Instead, he was replaced by the current Emperor.

Once this matter gets out, the entire Dali Dynasty will be in an uproar and may even fall into turmoil.

Although the Fourteenth Master has passed away for many years, he was the final winner in the battle among the nine princes for the throne. He could be said to be a man of great talent and strategy, and had many trusted and loyal followers under his command.

Although the Emperor has been secretly cleaning up the influence and power left by the Fourteenth Master over the years, there are still many people who have escaped the purge.

Over the years, these loyal confidants of the Fourteenth Master have probably been secretly watching the Prince Duan's Mansion, and they must have been ready to make a move.

They just didn't dare to disobey the will left by the Fourteenth Master, and could only watch silently in the dark. If they knew that the Fourteenth Master's only son had been killed by the current emperor and replaced by a dead person, they would definitely be furious.

They also took this opportunity to get rid of the will left by the Fourteenth Master, and under the banner of revenge for the Fourteenth Master's son, they started a bloody storm in the Dali Dynasty.

As for the fact that the Prince Yi in front of them was the Fourteenth Master's grandson from a different generation, they would not be convinced at all.

Because let alone them, even Jiang Huan and Mo Ruhai would probably not believe it if they hadn't heard it with their own ears.

This matter was too unbelievable and ridiculous. Prince Duan had no reason to do this, so no one would believe it.

But Prince Duan did just that, and he used the tactic of replacing the real with the real behind the back of the current emperor, which made the emperor completely furious.

Upon hearing this secret, both Prince Guo and Mo Ruhai felt speechless bitterness in their hearts.

If they had a choice, they would rather not know about this, and perhaps they could live a more stable life, but the current emperor told them.

But they were not moved by this trust. They could not turn back, otherwise the whole family would be in danger of being wiped out.

The Emperor of Dali also gave them a secret order, requiring them to find out whether Prince Yi knew about his life experience. If he knew, the Emperor would immediately send troops to the Western Frontier, and even if there was any mishap at the Demon Realm Pass, the lineage of Prince Yi would be completely wiped out.

Jiang Yi pretended not to notice the strangeness between the two, and still said angrily: "Uncle, it's not that I'm narrow-minded, but that incident back then... was really too chilling."

"My father has been a soldier all his life, with many outstanding military exploits, and he is even bedridden in the northern border with little hope of survival... But they want to exterminate all of Prince Duan's lineage!"

"In that Dragon Gate Arena, the lives of all the members of Prince Yi's Mansion were hanging by a sword. If I hadn't gotten the chance, I'm afraid that all of us brothers would have really died in the Dragon Gate Arena..."

"Uncle, Chief Steward Mo, if it were you, wouldn't you be heartbroken? Are we still a family? This is a bit too heartless!"

Hearing this, Prince Guo and Mo Ruhai looked at each other silently and both felt relieved.

It turned out that it was not what they had guessed. It seemed that the Prince Yi in front of them did not know his true life experience.

That’s good… That’s good… There’s finally some room for maneuver.

I think Prince Duan Jiang Lie, who is bedridden in the Northern Frontier, also knows that this matter is too shocking. Once the person in front of him knows about it, it will be a disaster for the entire Dali Dynasty.

Jiang Huan sighed and said, "Are you still upset about this?"

Jiang Yi's face was filled with undisguised anger, but he finally sighed and shook his head, saying, "So what... He is my royal grandfather after all, but he is too indulgent to the one from the Ye family in Bailing..."

Mo Ruhai said at this time: "Your Highness, you don't know that the Emperor must have had his own reasons and has always felt guilty. He has been trying to make up for it in the past few years."

Jiang Yi sneered in his heart, thinking: That's because he didn't know his true life experience before, otherwise he would have killed him long ago! But he said:

"Yes, I can feel that my grandfather has always been supporting me, but my grandmother..."

Having said this, he did not continue, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I'm just a little angry. How can I really blame my grandfather? After all, blood is thicker than water, I can't hate him..."

Jiang Huan and Mo Ruhai looked at each other and found the answers they wanted, and they both felt relieved. However, there were some things that needed to be said, otherwise they would not be able to report to the current emperor after returning to the capital of Dali.

"You now control three passes and have a large army under your command. You are already a veritable local lord. I wonder what your plans are?" Jiang Huan asked very tactfully, but he knew that Jiang Yi could understand.

Jiang Yi sighed and asked, "I wonder what Grandfather wants me to do?"

Jiang Huan thought to himself: The emperor naturally wants you to pack up and return to the capital of Dali alone. But he didn't really say that. After pondering for a while, he looked back at the majestic Demon Realm Pass. Then he raised his hand and gestured in the north-south direction in the air, and said directly: "Work hard to manage the Western Frontier."

Jiang Yi did not speak immediately, but remained silent. Jiang Huan and Mo Ruhai were not in a hurry either, and walked while riding their horses forward.

The main purpose of this trip has been achieved, and they feel a lot more relaxed.

As long as the Prince Yi in front of him doesn't know his true life experience, everything will be easy to handle, and the murderous intent of the Emperor of Dali will not be so strong temporarily.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was frowning in thought, the two of them were not in a hurry, but looked with interest at the tens of thousands of cavalrymen galloping and cruising at a high speed a few dozen meters away.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were galloping at a rapid speed. The rumbling sound of their horses' hooves shook the earth. They circled and moved forward quickly. The army formation was neat and tidy, without any sign of chaos.

"The ability of this Prince Yi in commanding troops is probably even better than that of Prince Duan!"

Prince Guo had some envy in his eyes, and even a hint of sadness in his heart. If one of his children and grandchildren could have the talent of Prince Yi, then he could really die with a smile on his face a hundred years later. However...

Mo Ruhai, who was standing next to him, looked at the tens of thousands of cavalrymen, especially the thousand-man Khorhan cavalry, who were interspersed in the surrounding areas in complex military formations, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

Judging from the mental outlook of those Korhan cavalrymen, they are truly devoted to Prince Yi.

"Perhaps within a few years, the entire Korhan will be completely controlled by Prince Yi..."

Mo Ruhai sighed in his heart. According to what Prince Yi said just now, the four thousand Khorhan soldiers would definitely be transferred to the Khorhan Eight Banners little by little after going through layers of screening, and slowly replace the Eight Banners nobles.

When these Khorkhan soldiers who have spoken out completely cover the entire Khorkhan cavalry, the Prince Yi in front of him will truly become the supreme leader of Khorkhan.

By then, Prince Yi's Palace in the Western Frontier and even in the prairie outside the Great Wall would be as solid as a rock. One day, Bingfeng might even be able to reach the shores of the Black Water Lake and ride his horse to the Western Tibet Royal Court.

But at the same time, when that time comes, not to mention the Dali Dynasty, the entire Manghuang Continent may not be able to suppress the rise of Prince Yi.

However, Mo Ruhai did not take it too seriously. If he really wanted to reach that step, it would take many years. After all, the three border dynasties of Xifan, Baiyue, and Quanshi were not pushovers.

Even though the Korhan cavalry was powerful, it was impossible for them to gain too much advantage in a short period of time. They had to be in a passive defensive position for a long time.

"Uncle, I understand what Grandfather meant..." After a long while, Jiang Yi spoke, immediately attracting the attention of Jiang Huan and Mo Ruhai.

"Granduncle, you can go back and tell Grandfather that I have no intention of staying in the Middle-earth world. I only want to be a barrier for the western border of Dali. My troops will never leave the Eastern Demon Territory!"

Prince Guo Jiang Huan looked at Jiang Yi motionlessly, as if trying to determine whether this sentence was true or not.

"But I also have two requests, or demands. As long as Grandfather agrees, the soldiers of Prince Yi's Mansion will never set foot in Middle-earth again!"

Jiang Huan was obviously prepared. He nodded and said, "Just tell me what the conditions are. I will tell the emperor without missing a word."

Jiang Yi looked towards the north with a somewhat melancholy expression, and whispered: "I heard that someone in the court proposed to invite my father to the capital, but my father is weak and not suitable for long journeys. I hope that Grandfather will allow my father to spend his last days in the northern border."

Jiang Huan nodded. This was not groundless. Perhaps out of fear of Prince Yi's rapidly expanding power, a group of people led by Queen Ye Xinmei advocated summoning Prince Duan Jiang Lie to Beijing, which was a disguised form of house arrest.

To put it bluntly, it is "proton", but it is reversed, using the father to threaten the son.

"Yes, I'm sure the Emperor doesn't want to see your father go through another long and bumpy journey."

He was confident about this condition. At this point, the current emperor also knew that doing so would not be of much use. After all, Prince Duan Jiang Lie only had a few more years to live and could not be a "hostage" for long.

"What about the second condition?"

After Jiang Yi pondered for a while, he said in a serious tone: "The secular sects are wolves in the secular world! They are really not suitable to re-enter the secular world. I don't know what the royal grandfather has planned, but under the jurisdiction of the Prince Yi's Mansion in Western Xinjiang, the secular sects will never be allowed to set foot in!"

"I will never allow Western Xinjiang to become a lawless place for the secular sects!"

"So please ask the uncle to tell the grandfather not to let the secular sects enter the Western Border area anymore. Also, the Ye family of Bailing should not appear in the Western Border!"

"I can't make the decision on this, but I think the emperor will agree." Speaking of the secluded sect, Prince Guo Jiang Huan's expression was also somewhat heavy.

Not to mention the Western Frontier, just take the current Dali Imperial Capital as an example. The monks from the secular sects have already begun to set foot there openly, but their bad behavior has already caused unrest among the people.

But the current emperor acted as if he didn't see anything and turned a blind eye. Not only him, but many people were puzzled by this.

You must know that the ten ancestors of the Dali royal family have issued a kill order. Any secular cultivator who sets foot within a thousand miles of the Dali imperial capital without reporting will be killed without mercy.

But now, such a short time has passed that the ban has become meaningless, and the secular sects have begun to enter the secular world openly.

What exactly happened here? What reason did the current emperor use to convince the ten ancestors? Or is it true as rumored by the outside world that the pillar of the Dali royal family has reached his time of death, and the other ancestors are really in seclusion to prolong his life?
The former is easy to deal with, but if it is the latter, the Dali Dynasty will probably fall into some kind of turmoil. Without the deterrence of that ancestor, it will be difficult for the other nine ancestors to suppress the secular sects.

Fortunately, the area where the hermit monks can openly carry out activities is limited to the scope of the Dali Imperial Capital. Although there are also hermit monks in other provinces secretly stirring up trouble, at least they have not committed many evil deeds as blatantly as in the Dali Imperial Capital.

"Alas, I really don't know what my grandfather is thinking. Why does he allow the secular sect to openly enter the secular world..." Jiang Yi sighed, and then a murderous aura surged from his body:
"But that's the capital of Dali. Any outsider cultivator who dares to set foot in this Western Frontier will be killed without mercy!"

Jiang Yi has already received news and knows about the various evil deeds committed by the secular sects in the imperial capital of Dali. He also knows that the Luofu Oasis, where Prince Yi's palace was originally located, has also been occupied by the secular sects.

Including his large village and imperial estate, it was also occupied by hermit monks.
