Bars is now the Right Wing of the Northern Yuan, and his headquarters are generally located north of Datong.

Lu Xingjian sent a letter to Barth, asking to meet him.

Barth had two sons while he was imprisoned in the capital.

The two sons are still in Lu Xingjian's care.

"Can he really come?" Su Wanwan wasn't sure.

Lu Xingjian narrowed his eyes, confident, "I will definitely come."

"The Tatars valued offspring and descendants."

"And Barth can no longer have children."

The consequences of a prestigious agricultural institution like Jinan not having a son are severe.

Bars is now the eldest of Dayan Khan's living sons and has a high probability of succeeding to the throne.

However, if he had no son, no one would choose him as the successor to the Khan.

...

In August, Datong City was not as tense as in previous years, but rather peaceful and tranquil.

Su Wanwan sat by the window on the second floor of Tongfu Teahouse, quietly watching the bustling crowds on the street.

"Miss Su, it's been a long time."

A man in border army uniform suddenly sat down in the seat opposite.

The brim of the helmet covered most of his face.

The man raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of slender eyes that darted over her with unbridled gaze, like a lurking beast.

Su Wanwan's heart was pounding.

She recognized that face!

It was Barth!

"Where is my son?" Barth asked bluntly.

Su Wanwan paused slightly.

"Don't you care about the child's mother?"

Barth narrowed his eyes, a hint of impatience on his face.

Su Wanwan immediately understood.

The child's mother meant nothing to him.

He only wanted his son, thus maintaining his dignity as a man.

“We can give you a son, or even medicine to cure your illness so that you can have many sons.”

"But have you ever thought about becoming a Khan yourself?"

Su Wanwan raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Barrs, then poured one for herself, and drank it by herself.

Barth's pupils contracted.

His appointment as Right Wing Grand Minister of Agriculture was due to the secret support of the Ming court.

However, ever since he had utterly defeated the former right-wing lords, his father, Dayan Khan, had begun to fear him.

Instead, he doted on his elder brother's posthumous child.

The father was only around forty years old, in his prime, so of course he was wary of his increasingly powerful son.

"You are a devil."

Bales's Chinese was difficult to pronounce, but he was very polite.

Su Wanwan smiled softly.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't he?"

Barth hit the nail on the head: "The Emperor of Liang is such a coward. He doesn't dare to come out himself and sends women to risk their lives for him."

He stared at Su Wanwan with great interest. "He deposed you from your position as Empress, and you don't even resent him?"

Barth prides himself on being a steppe eagle and of the Golden Family lineage.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by this seemingly weak and delicate woman twice!

The woman he hated most in his life was her!

There is none other than this!

Now, she actually dares to brazenly appear in Datong City and have tea with him to negotiate.

"Why hold a grudge?" Su Wanwan answered casually.

She only lost the empty title of Empress; she didn't lose anything else.

This empty title is one that she no longer wants to bear.

This confidence came from Lu Xingjian.

It was through all the ups and downs, the unwavering support, that I gave her this.

She was no longer the pathetic woman who only wanted to escape after returning to the capital.

Barth smiled dangerously, "Then, please come visit me on the grasslands, and I hope you won't hold a grudge."

Su Wanwan paused for a moment, looking around, "This is Datong City, how could you kidnap me?"

Barth shrugged indifferently. "Why not?"

His eyes held a hint of disdain: "You don't naively think that Datong City is a monolithic place and no one does business with me, do you?"

Su Wanwan's pupils contracted slightly, and she asked warily, "Who are you associating with?"

Barth casually mentioned a few names, "Congwen, Congzhuo, and a whole bunch of others, all royals. They're just idle and want to smuggle goods, make more money, and play with more women."

Barth laughed sarcastically: "They would definitely like someone as beautiful as Miss Su."

Su Wanwan's heart sank.

Those of the Cong generation are the uncles of the current Prince of Dai.

Has the Prince Dai's residence deteriorated to this extent?

The waters of Datong were much deeper than she had imagined.

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and two men dressed as teahouse waiters came over. "Please."

Su Wanwan certainly didn't come alone.

There were many guards lying in ambush nearby.

Su Wanwan wasn't in a hurry and slowly left the teahouse as instructed.

However.

The places where the guards were originally lying in ambush were either deserted or occupied by a fight.

Su Wanwan felt utterly dejected.

Has the Tatars' influence in Datong City penetrated to such an extent?

Fortunately, Lu Xingjian didn't come to take the risk himself; he had more important things to do.

...

Xuanfu.

Sixty thousand Tatar cavalry broke through the Great Wall and marched from Jiajiawan toward Xuanfu.

The Emperor of Liang was in Xuanfu.

If we can capture the emperor alive, we can restore the glory of the Tatars, just like when Esen Taishi captured Emperor Yingzong alive!

The temptation is too great.

Dayan Khan personally led his army to attack.

However.

Not far into the Great Wall, as we passed through the narrow mountain road at Jiajiawan, we were suddenly met with a barrage of gunfire.

An ambush?!

How did they know?
