This is not just a simple threat!
In fact, Nurhaci had done something similar when he rose to power.
The Mongols comprised many tribes. Although all were descendants of the Mongol Yuan dynasty, there were numerous conflicts between them. Otherwise, the Ming dynasty would not have been able to overthrow the Mongol Yuan rule so easily.
When Nurhaci first raised his army, his situation was not good, and he relied heavily on the remnants of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. Gradually, Nurhaci's power began to expand, and many Mongol Yuan tribes outwardly complied but inwardly defied him. Then, Nurhaci launched several military campaigns to exterminate the Mongol Yuan tribes, which finally subdued many of them.
Now that Rong Xi has spoken these words as Prince Yong's special envoy, Ye Erjiroqiang dares not disbelieve them.
"Envoy, please calm down!"
Yeerjiroqiang grew increasingly fearful.
If your fists aren't as strong as someone else's, you'll naturally lack confidence in your words.
This is merely a special envoy of Prince Yong, yet he possesses such a terrifying demonic beast as his battle pet. What about Prince Yong of the Qing Dynasty? And what about the Qing court?
Yerkiroqiang had heard many stories about how powerful and irresistible the Qing Dynasty was. But the influence of hearsay was never as great as seeing it for oneself.
"Alright, I don't have that much time to waste with you."
Rong Xi snorted again, "The Earth Fire Vein has had much of its primordial fire absorbed by the Bifang Egg, so it is not suitable for alchemy in the short term. This special envoy will return to Zichuan first. If your Hui Te tribe is truly willing to submit to the court, then send an envoy to submit a memorial as soon as possible."
"If this drags on, and Prince Yong arrives with his army, the situation will be very different!"
"Let's go!"
After uttering those words, Rong Xi decisively left.
Her purpose was to investigate the earth's fire veins; as for the Huit tribe, that was not her concern.
The flying chariot took off again, with Taotie and Qiongqi guarding it as usual, slowly moving away from the Hui Te tribe's territory and city.
...
"Chieftain!"
Not long after Rong Xi left, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators around Ye Erjiroqiang surrounded him.
"Why didn't you do anything just now?"
"That's the mythical bird Bifang!"
"If we could obtain Bifang, our Huite tribe could even establish its own independent kingdom!"
"Yes, clan leader, you're foolish!"
...
A group of Nascent Soul cultivators, one after another, voiced their accusations against Ye Erjiroqiang.
Yerjiroqiang endured their accusations without uttering a single rebuttal.
Only after everyone had shut up did Yerjiroqiang coldly sweep his gaze across the faces of these elders one by one, and slowly say, "Have you all finished speaking?"
The elders noticed that Yerdilokeng's expression was off and felt a strange sense of unease.
"Are you done talking?"
When the elders did not respond, Yerjiroqiang let out a loud shout.
The elders felt even more breathless.
At this moment, Yeerjiroqiang was clearly furious and his temper was flaring. Although these elders were all at the Nascent Soul stage, even so, they did not want to confront Yeerjiroqiang directly.
All of them are at the Nascent Soul stage; unless all the elders act together, they cannot suppress Yeljiroqiang instantly. Otherwise, the Huit tribe will inevitably descend into internal strife.
"Just now, when I asked you, why didn't anyone give me a clear answer?"
Yeerjiroqiang glared at all the elders, "What are you doing putting on airs with me now?"
"If you've got the guts, go after them now!"
“That special envoy from Prince Yong must not have gone far. Go after him!”
Yeerjiroqiang sneered twice, then turned and left.
He finally saw through them completely: these elders were all all talk and no action. But when it came to risking their lives for the tribe and its future, they would all run away faster than the last.
...
Rong Xi was fully aware of everything that happened in the Hui Te tribe, thanks to Taotie's perception.
Rong Xi remained completely unmoved by this.
In this world, too many people are all talk and no action. When it comes to actually doing something, they're all spineless cowards.
The flying chariot quickly returned to Zichuan City.
As soon as Rong Xi and her party returned to her courtyard, they saw the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince, accompanied by Su Peisheng, stood in Rong Xi's courtyard with a very serious expression.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Rong Xi disembarked from the flying carriage and, together with Granny Rui and the others, paid her respects to the Fourth Prince.
"No need for such formalities, Madam!"
"All of you, step back!"
The Fourth Prince stepped forward, supported Rong Xi's arm, and at the same time ordered Granny Rui and the others to leave the courtyard.
"Your Highness, has something happened?"
Seeing the Fourth Prince's dismissive attitude, Rong Xi was slightly taken aback. Had something happened while she was only gone for a short while?
"Nothing's wrong!"
The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "But where has the Princess Consort been? She should be resting and recuperating now!"
When Rong Xi left the courtyard, the Fourth Prince was talking to Nalan Mingzhu. Upon receiving the report from the Blood God Guard, he quickly ended his conversation with Nalan Mingzhu and rushed over.
"I just had a sudden whim and wanted to try alchemy, so I prepared to find a fire vein!"
"If the Princess Consort wants to find the Earth Fire Vein, I will arrange for someone to go find it. You..."
"I have already found you!"
Rong Xi chuckled, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that I received the inheritance of the ancient Yantian Sect's sect master? Although I may not be able to see through the secrets of heaven and the future, finding a fire vein is still very easy for me!"
"Furthermore, on my recent trip, I found the Khwarazmian remnant tribe in the mountains five hundred miles to the west!"
"The Huite Division?!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, the Fourth Prince immediately lost his composure.
The remnants of the Mongol Yuan dynasty comprised many tribes, and the Khoid tribe was one of the larger ones. However, the Khoid tribe was difficult to track down, and even during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, many people were sent to inquire about their whereabouts.
This northwestern region was constantly harassed by the Dzungar Khanate.
Kangxi's strategy was to unite all forces that could be united and weaken the Dzungar Khanate's power as much as possible.
Unfortunately, Emperor Kangxi never discovered any trace of the Khwarazmian tribe.
The Fourth Prince looked at Rong Xi with surprise and joy that words could not describe. He suddenly felt that Rong Xi was his lucky star, always able to bring him good fortune and help at crucial moments.
Leaving aside the ongoing grand feast of spirit food, the discovery of the Hui Te tribe alone is a great achievement.
It's important to understand that the fact that the Fourth Prince was exiled by the Crown Prince to guard the frontier meant that it would be difficult for him to return to the capital. If he couldn't quickly expand his power, he would be helpless and vulnerable to capture should the Crown Prince launch an attack.
But now, everything has changed!
If he could persuade the Huit tribe, he would have the leverage to challenge the Crown Prince.
"My lady, you are truly my lucky star!"
The Fourth Prince held Rong Xi and spun her around several times.
"Madam, please rest. I need to make some arrangements first!"
The Fourth Prince's eyes lit up; he absolutely had to get his hands on the Hui Te tribe.
He doesn't mind using force when necessary!
