Aliji immediately frowned, recalling how he had increased patrols in various cities in recent months out of concern that Aguzan might return at any time, which had initially caused considerable panic.
It was only with great difficulty that the people were finally put at ease, so it is indeed inappropriate to continue increasing the number of patrol teams in Ancheng.
The increased patrols in the capital could be explained by the upcoming prayer ceremony, which couldn't afford any mishaps, but not in Ancheng.
Realizing this, he finally calmed down a bit, but the anger on his broad face did not disappear.
He looked at Tuso, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
The prayer ceremony is just around the corner; I cannot allow that scoundrel Aguzan to continue stirring up trouble in Tuyuhun.
Although we cannot capture him now, we cannot simply let him return to the capital and ruin his prayer ceremony.
This was the opportunity he had been waiting for all these years.
Although that bastard's bloodline was impure, it had to be admitted that the person was indeed very capable, and had been the most intelligent among the princes since childhood.
Whether it was archery or anything else, it was always that guy who received the Khan's praise.
Even though they bullied that bastard Aguzan behind his back, he still worked hard in secret and always hunted the best prey in the annual horse archery competition, winning everyone's amazed gaze and taking first place.
Despite having half Jin blood in him, that guy seemed completely unaffected by his size and strength, and even outperformed these natural warriors in horsemanship and archery.
This is also what he hates most about Aguzan. In his heart, this younger brother is the one he dislikes the most because he is a bandit who will take everything from him.
When this bandit went unnoticed by the Khan, he was the one who frequently received praise from the Khan.
Therefore, after he came of age and cultivated some forces of his own, the first person he wanted to deal with was this guy.
But Tuso stopped him.
Tuso told him that this guy wouldn't threaten his position, and at the time, he thought so too.
Because the other party did not have a powerful maternal clan, that woman from the Great Jin Dynasty was the lowest of the low in their Tuyuhun, along with Aguzan.
Therefore, he listened to Tuso.
What he didn't expect was that as this guy grew up, he not only built his own power just like him, but also almost surpassed him.
The lowest of beings he once looked down upon now stood on the same level as him, yet he no longer had the ability to silently eliminate them.
Seeing that Aliji had finally regained his composure and even fallen into deep thought, Tuso hurriedly said, "It's very simple. In the history of Tuyuhun, for hundreds of years, no one of impure bloodline has ever sat on the throne of Khan."
Even if he reappears to prove he is not dead, it still cannot stop you, Prince, from becoming Khan.
"The prince is a pure-blooded Tuyuhun person; please, prince, have no need to worry."
Aliji was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Yes, hahaha, that guy's bloodline is not pure. I had forgotten about this important matter. Only I can sit on the throne of the Khan of Tuyuhun."
He almost forgot that the guy was born to a person from the Great Jin Dynasty.
Sure enough, he had been so busy these past few months, and he was also worried about that bastard retaliating, that his brain was too overloaded and he completely forgot about such an important matter.
What can someone of mixed blood do to compete with him?

Jiang Yimian and her entourage arrived in the capital two days before the start of the prayer ceremony.
The search at the city gates was several times more rigorous than in other cities, and the number of guards inside the city was countless.
If Aguzan hadn't been prepared for this, they probably wouldn't have even been able to get through the city gate.
Lin Yan'an looked at the guards passing by outside from time to time and said in surprise, "I heard from the people in Ancheng that the blessing ceremony is in two days."
"It seems the Tuyuhun people are taking this prayer ceremony quite seriously; there are so many guards patrolling, densely packed together—it's rather eerie."
Jiang Yimian lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the guards, and frowned, saying, "I'm afraid it's not just because of the blessing ceremony."
Lu Cijian also said, "This is related to Aguzan. The matter of Likunge is not only a big deal in Ancheng, but also in the capital and other cities, and it has caused quite a stir."
These days, so many patrols are most likely searching for Aguzan's whereabouts; the blessing ceremony is only a small part of the reason.
Jiang Yimian thought so too.
Aguzan did not make any effort to hide his activities in Ancheng.
If Aliji wasn't stupid, he could have guessed that it all had something to do with Aguzan.
Now, with the prayer ceremony just around the corner and the ongoing war with the Great Jin on the border, that person must be having a real headache. He doesn't dare to annihilate Governor Ge Erwu, so all he can do now is send some guards to search the capital thoroughly.
The carriage was moving slowly down the street, but it had to stop because of several children who had fallen in the middle of the road.
At that moment, I suddenly heard several people sighing and praising me.
"Alas, the eldest prince is truly a rare kind-hearted person in the royal family."
The prayer ceremony is about to begin. He was originally going to pray for all the people of Tuyuhun, but now he heard that he has added a special item: to offer prayers for the second prince, the ordinary children who were tortured to death by Likunge, and the warriors who lost their lives on the battlefield.
Such a kind and benevolent person could not possibly be the kind of person some people claim that would have killed the second prince if he hadn't died and had become Khan.
I think even if the second prince hadn't been killed by the Jin people and had successfully returned to Tuyuhun, and the eldest prince had ascended to the throne of Khan, he wouldn't have done anything to the second prince.
