Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1519 The fight for succession!

Erlunqin Grassland, Luobi Royal Court
A tall, handsome young man in a Daqian round-collared robe was walking quickly towards the heavily guarded center of the royal court with two doctors also wearing Daqian clothes. In the environment where almost everyone in the Luobi royal court was dressed in nomadic military uniforms, these three people stood out and were easily distinguished.
The Luobi people they met along the way all saluted to the young man in the lead, but the young man turned a blind eye and walked straight towards the sweat tent in the center of the royal court with the two doctors behind him. However, when the three of them were still a hundred steps away from the sweat tent, a man with a long scar on his face, accompanied by hundreds of strong guards, stopped them!

"This is the Khan's tent. If you dare to take one step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them stopped at the same time. Looking at the man with the big scar in front of them, the young man couldn't help but say:
"What do you want to do, Temur?"

As soon as these words came out, the scarred man called Temur snorted coldly and said:
"The Khan is resting, please leave immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately opened his mouth and shouted angrily:
"Temur, you are so brave! Don't you know who I am?"

Hearing the young man say this, Temur pretended to look at the young man seriously, and then pretended to suddenly understand and said:
"So it's Prince Daiqin! I'm so sorry! You were dressed like a two-legged sheep, and I didn't look carefully just now. I really didn't recognize you!"

"I thought it was the Rabbit God from Daqian!"

As soon as Temur finished speaking, the guards beside him burst into laughter. Daiqin was so angry that his face turned blue amid the mockery of the crowd. However, he did not bring any guards with him to the Khan's tent this time, in order to show his loyalty and filial piety. Now he only had two doctors beside him...
Moreover, Dai Qin knew better that there must be something wrong when things were not normal. Temur was just a dog under his elder brother Darachi. Although he usually shouted a little fiercely, he definitely did not have the courage to insult the prince of Luobi!
And now he is deliberately insulting and provoking me, which must be abnormal!

This is a bit like the method of provoking the general mentioned in Daqian's military book. He wants me to lose my mind because of anger and do extreme actions, so that he will have a reason to take me down!

Maybe he just wanted to provoke me, then accuse me of trespassing, and then take the opportunity to kill me with a clear conscience!
The more Dai Qin thought about it, the more he thought about it, and he felt that this was really possible!
After all, his father's health had not been good since he was shot, and now he was even unable to talk. He had not come out to summon his subordinates for more than ten days. And his eldest brother commanded a large number of troops. If he really killed him now, his death might have been in vain!

He also looked around. He didn't know if his dear elder brother Dari Achi was watching him in some hidden corner at this moment, but Dai Qin knew that Temur must have done this with the instruction of his elder brother!

Dai Qin, realizing this, calmed down and said coldly to Temur in front of him:
"Temur, do you know what the price is for insulting the prince of Robe? I can kill you right now!"

The smile on Temur’s face froze as soon as he heard this. Among nomadic peoples like the Luobi, the royal authority is very important. Anyone who dares to insult a member of the royal family will have to pay an extremely painful price and die in agony while wailing. Temur is well aware of this...
But when he thought of the eldest prince's promise to him, Temur immediately became very tough and said:
"Prince Daiqin, what did we say? We never said you were a two-legged sheep!"

After saying this, Temur deliberately asked the guards around him:

"Did you hear what I said?"

The people around Temur were all his subordinates, so they naturally echoed him and said:
"Sir, we heard nothing!"

Temur nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to say to Daiqin jokingly:

"Your Highness, although you have Daqian bloodline, you still have the blood of our Luobi royal family flowing in your veins. You can't think of yourself as a two-legged sheep!"

"But if you really say that you are a two-legged sheep, we can't do anything about you!"

"What do you call it in your Daqian language? It's called 'nothing can help'!"

"Yes! We just can't do anything to help you!"

Seeing Temur and his men singing the same tune here, Dai Qin's eyes became colder and colder. If looks could kill, he would have chopped Temur hundreds of times. But at this moment, he had to silently remember in his heart that a little impatience will ruin a great plan, in order to restrain the impulse in his heart...
Just as Daiqin and Temur were confronting each other, the guarding general Zabu saw a noise outside the Khan's tent and immediately came over.

Seeing Daiqin appear, Zhabu immediately saluted and said:
"See Your Highness the Prince!"

"General Zab, no need to be polite!"

After the greeting, Zabu also asked:

"Your Highness Daiqin, what brings you to the Khan's tent?"

"I have found two doctors from Daqian to treat my father. General Zabu, take us in!" Hearing Daiqin say this, Temur immediately retorted:
"General Zabu must not allow these two Daqian doctors to treat the Khan!"

"The witch doctor has already explained that the Khan's injury is now at a critical stage. He needs to rest well and not be disturbed by anyone!"

"These two Qian people are very suspicious. We must not let them see the Khan. General Zabu, we must protect the Khan!"

Dai Qin couldn't help but scolded:
"These two are the doctors I found to treat my father! What do you mean by their suspicious identities?"

"Temur, you are a dog slave who keeps committing crimes against your superiors. Don't think I dare not kill you. I will kill you like I am slaughtering a dog!"

In response to Daiqin's threat, Temur snorted disdainfully, and then said to Zabu:

"General Zabu, this is the order of the Great Prince! I am also following the order of the Great Prince to strengthen the defense of the Khan's tent!"

“Now that the Khan’s injuries have not yet healed, it is a critical period for him to recuperate. We, the Luobi people, must absolutely protect the Khan and not let anyone with ulterior motives succeed…”

When he mentioned the three words "eldest prince", Temur intentionally or unintentionally emphasized his tone, as if he was hinting something to Zhabu.

Hearing Temur's sarcastic remarks, Daiqin was so angry that his teeth were itching. However, without any soldiers around him, he had no confidence to speak. He could only pretend that he did not hear anything, and then looked at Zhabu expectantly, hoping that this general who was guarding his father Khan would allow him to go and see his father Khan!

However, what disappointed Daiqin was that after hearing what Temur said, Zabu hesitated for a moment and then spoke:
"The Khan is recuperating and cannot see guests. Your Highness, I will convey your filial piety to the Khan! Please go back now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a smug smile immediately appeared on Temur's face, and then he looked at Daiqin with some joking. Seeing how Zabu and Temur were in collusion with each other, Daiqin knew that it would be difficult for him to see his father Khan today. After glaring at Temur fiercely, Daiqin had to leave with the two doctors behind him.

Seeing Dai Qin leaving, Temur deliberately said loudly:

"General Zabu, you did the right thing. We, the Luobi people, must protect our Khan. We must not let those people with suspicious identities see the Khan, especially those Qian people. They are the most hateful with their ulterior motives. Even the most greedy wolf on the grassland would not eat their hearts and lungs!"

Hearing Temur’s loud voice behind him, Daiqin stopped and clenched his hands into fists. But in the end, Prince Luobi did not turn back, but continued to leave this place of trouble...
Because his mother was a woman abducted from the Great Zhou, Dai Qin, who had the blood of the Great Zhou, had been subjected to contempt, ridicule and discrimination in the tribe since he was a child!

Although Ibugele was Daiqin's father, he did not take this son with the blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty seriously and let Daiqin and his mother fend for themselves in the tribe!
But later, as Ibugele grew older and had no new children, and his other children died one after another due to illness, Daiqin became one of Ibugele's only two surviving sons.

Although Ibugele obviously prefers his eldest son Dariachi and has always been training Dariachi as his successor, Ibugele only has these two sons left after all, and rare things are valuable, so Ibugele also pays some attention and care to Daiqin. This also improves the status of Daiqin and his mother in the tribe, and ordinary people dare not bully them!
Although his status and treatment had improved compared to before, Dai Qin had never thought about the Khanship. After all, it was too crazy for a person with the bloodline of the Great Zhou to become the leader of Luobi!
However, as the saying goes, heroes are made by the times. Just when Dai Qin was thinking about his future, the overall environment changed dramatically. The strong rise of the Fengwu Army and the covetous eyes of the Cumans forced the Robe people to change their original strategy and begin to move closer to the Fengwu Army.

In order to improve the competitiveness of his tribe among the Luobi tribe, Ibugele took the lead in starting trade with the Fengwu Army. However, because there was too much hatred and blood debt between Luobi and Da Zhou, although Ibugele wanted to make friends with the Fengwu Army, when it came to the implementation, there was indeed a lot of friction between the two sides·················

Under such circumstances, Dai Qin, a prince of Luobei with the blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty, became very important. Dai Qin naturally became the person in charge of the connection between Ibugele's subordinates and the Fengwu Army.

Daiqin did not disappoint his father. He obtained various benefits from the Fengwu Army, strengthened Ibugel's strength, and finally helped his father win the throne of Robe Khan. During this process, Daiqin was also valued by his father Ibugel, and his status in the clan rose rapidly!
But even so, not many people regard Dai Qin as a possible candidate for the future Luobei Khan, and there is only one reason for this, that is, his Great Zhou bloodline!
However, the situation was changing rapidly, and Robe had another big change. Under Ye Mingsheng's manipulation, Robe became a mess, with each tribe acting independently and no one submitting to the other. In addition, the Cumans were eyeing them covetously from the outside, which put Ibugler, who had just become the Khan of Robe, under great pressure!

Seeing that he was about to be suffocated by these threats, Ibugele had no choice but to make the decision to surrender to Ye Mingsheng. This decision caused great controversy within the Robe people. Many people opposed Ibugele's decision, and many people even believed that doing so was a betrayal of the Robe nation and history, and brought shame to the ancestors of the Robe people!

And because Dai Qin has the bloodline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many people believe that he was the one who instigated Ibugele to submit to Ye Mingsheng. But Dai Qin knew that this matter was very sensitive, so he never advised his father to surrender to Ye Mingsheng. But in the eyes of many Luobei people, having the bloodline of the Great Zhou Dynasty is an original sin, so you have to take the blame...

Although Ibugel later dealt with these opponents with the help of the Fengwu Army, Daiqin became a treacherous minister who persuaded the Khan to surrender to Ye Mingsheng!
Although there was such a saying at the time, because Ibugele was in power, no one dared to attack Daiqin for Ibugele's sake!

With the support of Fengwu Army and later Daqian, Daiqin also became one of the contenders for Luobei Khanship. This also made Darachi, who originally disdained Daiqin, begin to regard his half-brother as a threat.
Now that Ibugele's body has only a few problems and he is not dead yet, Dai Qin feels that his status in the clan has plummeted!
How dare a dog slave like Temur insult me ​​like this!
Originally, Dai Qin still had illusions about the current situation, thinking that things had not yet reached the worst moment, but the current situation made him realize that things were far worse than he had imagined. Now his father Khan had not left yet, and he was already in such a situation!

If my father Khan left, wouldn't I be dragged out and chopped to pieces in an instant?
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent emerged in Dai Qin's eyes. Now that things have come to this point, whether he is willing or not, he has only one way left. He will never surrender and wait to be killed, and put the safety of himself and his family on the kindness of others!
He Daiqin wants to be the master of his own destiny!
