Chapter 891 Palace coup!

In a room of Alpi Trading Company, Alpi was clenching his fists and glaring at the elegant merchant from Da Zhou standing in front of him.

Feeling the anger in Alpi's eyes, Liu Wenzhe said lightly with a hint of disdain and contempt:
"Subata... No, I should call you by your real name, Alpi. You're not so naive as to think that just setting a fire will make us think you're dead, right?"

Listening to Liu Wenzhe's words, Alpi's eyes were filled with anger, and he spoke angrily in a suppressed voice:
"You promised me that what happened last time would be the last time! You will let me go after I help you do it!"

As soon as Alpi finished speaking, Liu Wenzhe slapped him in the face. With a crisp sound, Alpi, with the slap mark on his face, stood up angrily and pulled out the dagger from his waist, ready to stab Liu Wenzhe with a white knife in and a red knife out.

Facing Alpi's flashing dagger, Liu Wenzhe was not at all flustered, but continued to say disdainfully:
"If you kill me here, Alpi, I'll still consider you a man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wenzhe took out a crudely made gold bracelet from his arms and placed it in front of Alpi.

Seeing this familiar gold bracelet, Alpi was stunned for a moment, then he instantly became furious and grabbed Liu Wenzhe by the collar and asked:
"How dare you touch my family, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Liu Wenzhe frowned upon hearing this and said:
"Alpi, calm down!"

“Not only did we not harm your family, we also saved your mother’s life. Your mother suddenly had a high fever and it was our doctor who saved her…”

"Your wife gave us this gold bracelet as a thank you gift. If you don't believe it, you can go back and see later. They are still on the Suhat grassland!"

After hearing this, Alpi slowly calmed down and let Liu Wenzhe go. He straightened his clothes and Liu Wenzhe still said calmly:
"Alpi, you are now a decent person. You have a shop in Huihe City and hundreds of cattle and sheep on the Suhat grassland. But do you still remember what you were like in the past?"

"You were a slave back then. If we hadn't helped you, you would have been beaten to death by Master Bayir. It was because we saved you and gave you a chance that you are where you are today!"

"We have an old saying in our Great Zhou Dynasty: when you drink water, you should remember the well-digger. Alpi, you must not forget your roots!"

Regarding Liu Wenzhe's teachings, Alpi sneered:
"I don't deny that you helped me, Liu Wenzhe, but I don't owe you anything!"

"If I hadn't risked my life and death to get intelligence for you all these years, would you have been able to become a centurion of your General Coordination Office?"

"Did you promise me at the beginning? I will help you find out the whereabouts of Tiger Master, and you will let me leave!"

"In the words of your Great Zhou, you are now breaking your promise!"

After saying this, Alpi glared at Liu Wenzhe again. If looks could kill, Liu Wenzhe would have been cut into pieces by now...

Liu Wenzhe, knowing that he was in the wrong, was a little speechless. After a moment, he sighed and said:

"Alpi, I know I'm sorry for you, and I didn't mean to bother you in the first place!"

"But who gave me the order?"

"My superiors gave me an order, so I have to complete it. I am sorry for that. Please understand me. You are the only one who can help me with this matter!"

After saying that, he took out three gold bars from his arms and handed them over. When Alpi saw the gold bars, greed immediately emerged in his eyes. Although he quickly concealed it, Liu Wenzhe still saw it clearly. Liu Wenzhe smiled and continued:
"This is just a deposit. After the deal is done, I will give you three gold bars..."

Seeing that Liu Wenzhe was as generous as ever, Alpi fell silent. Although Liu Wenzhe did not say it directly, he understood that he had no ability to refuse. His wife, children and family were all under the control of the Coordination Office. Once the Coordination Office exposed his actions, he would die a miserable death according to the rules of the Cumans!
So even though he was very angry, he could only accept Liu Wenzhe's request. He took the gold bar from Liu Wenzhe and asked in a deep voice:
"What do you want from me?"

Listening to Alpi's words, Liu Wenzhe smiled slightly and knew that the matter was settled. He immediately asked:
"What are the recent movements of Tai Iraq and his Eagle Division?"

Arpi hesitated for a moment, but under Liu Wenzhe's sharp gaze, he finally chose to tell the truth:
"Tai'iraq is ordering his men to collect dried meat and luggage. They seem to be preparing to head south!"

After getting this answer from Alpi, Liu Wenzhe's expression suddenly froze as he realized the seriousness of the matter. He had recently discovered through some information channels that there were some unusual movements of the Golden Horde's Eagle Division stationed near Huihe City. Because his superiors had previously instructed him to keep a close eye on the movements of the Golden Horde Eagle Division, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately came to Alpi to confirm the news.

Now it seems that the thing we least want to see is likely to happen...
After pondering for a moment, Liu Wenzhe asked with some anticipation:

"Do you know the marching route of Tai Iraq?"

Facing Liu Wenzhe's question, Alpi couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked:

"Captain Liu, I'm just a businessman. Do you think I know this?"

Liu Wenzhe was a little disappointed when he heard this but he didn't say anything. He also knew that although Alpi was well-informed, he probably didn't know such confidential things as the marching route, so he was just trying it and didn't really expect to get this from Alpi.

After thinking for a while, Liu Wenzhe said:
"Find an opportunity to introduce me to Jadamba!"

As soon as Alpi said this, he wanted to say something, but Liu Wenzhe stretched out his hand to signal him not to be anxious, and then continued to say while meeting Alpi's gaze:

"I know that you have been very close to Jiadamba recently. You even sent a woman and a silver Buddha to Jiadamba. For this, Jiadamba also took care of your business and did not let the officials returning to Hecheng embarrass you. So don't tell me that you are not familiar with Jiadamba!"

"I won't let you help me for nothing. Don't you want to do business in Yijing? I will help you get the paperwork done!"

Alpi, who originally wanted to refuse, couldn't help but be moved after hearing the conditions offered by Liu Wenzhe...
Although he could complete the trade with the merchants of Da Zhou after returning to Hecheng, Alpi knew that the price of leather in Yijing was much higher than that in Hecheng.

In addition, the goods of the Great Zhou in Yijing are cheaper than those in Huihecheng. By eliminating the middlemen, he can earn three or even five times more profit.
Therefore, Alpi has always wanted to expand his business to Da Zhou and Yijing to earn huge profits, but the first problem he faced was that the approval process for Fengwu Army's commercial trade was more complicated, detailed and strict than that of the Golden Horde. His applications were rejected several times.

This also became a concern for Alpi, so if Liu Wenzhe could do it for him, a lot of money would be right in front of him.

Thinking of this, Alpi hesitated and asked:
"Can you really help me get the paperwork done?" Liu Wenzhe nodded confidently.
"We are the Coordination Office. Your problem is just a small matter!"

Feeling the confidence contained in Liu Wenzhe's words, Alpi was even more moved. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and said to Liu Wenzhe:
“I can introduce you to Jadamba, but Jadamba doesn’t particularly trust me. Whether you can get in touch with him depends on yourself. I can’t help you…”

Liu Wenzhe nodded with satisfaction and said:

"No problem! You just need to introduce me to Jadamba, and I will take care of the rest!"

East Ernqin steppe, the royal court of Robe.

In the Golden Wolf Khan's tent, which represented the symbol of the supreme power of the Luobi Khanate, Arsalan, sitting high on the Khan's throne in military uniform, watched the two Luobi generals walk towards him step by step.

One of these two men was named Nurjiang and the other was named Altan. Both of them were Luobi generals promoted by him. However, what Arsalan did not expect was that these two generals promoted by him were the first to come and force the emperor to abdicate.

Although the purpose of this meeting with Arsalan was to challenge him, the two men could not help but bow and salute when they felt the powerful aura of Arsalan sitting on the Khan's throne.

Looking deeply at the two people in front of him, Arsalan said in a deep voice with anger in his eyes:

"You two disappoint me so much!"

"What did that bastard Ye Mingsheng promise you that made you forget even the pride of your ancestors and be willing to be his hounds?"

Facing Arsalan's angry rebuke, Nurjiang and Altan looked at each other, and then Nurjiang spoke first:
"Great Khan, in the past few years, whether we were marching south or fighting the Kipchaks, we have been defeated one after another, losing countless cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of our people. Now half of the Erlunqin grassland left by our ancestors has also been occupied by the Kipchaks!"

"It may not sound nice, but it's true. We, the Robe people, are on the brink of genocide..."

"We all hold you responsible, Khan!"

"The Robe people need a more powerful Khan to lead the entire tribe to victory and restore the pride and glory of the Robe people!"

Listening to Nurjiang's words, Arsalan couldn't help but smile disdainfully and said:

"Nurjiang, is this more powerful Khan you mentioned yourself?"

After saying this, Nurjiang did not say anything, but just gave a look to Altan beside him. Altan immediately understood and said:
"After you abdicate, Arsalan, we will convene a Sarge meeting for all of Robe and let all Robe elders elect a new Khan!"

Arsalan laughed when he heard this and said:

"You two are qualified to convene a Sarger Conference?"

"Nurjiang, Altan, don't you two take a look at what kind of people you are?"

Arsalan's contemptuous attitude undoubtedly angered Nurjiang and Altan even more. Nurjiang took a step forward and said coldly:

"Great Khan, this is the best time I call you Great Khan!"

"You should know clearly that everyone in Luobi is dissatisfied with your rule. All you can bring us is failure, failure again and again!"

"We two came here to advise you out of kindness because you promoted us in the past..."

"As long as you are willing to give up your position now, Arsalan, we can retain your position as the tribal elder and let you live the rest of your life with dignity!"

"Otherwise you will have to face the wrath of the entire Luobei and wash away your sins with your blood!"

Faced with the undisguised threat from his former subordinate, Arsalan was chilled and didn't want to waste time talking to the two of them, so he shouted loudly:

"Guards, chop off the heads of Nurjiang and Altan and hang them on the wolf flag for everyone to see what happens to traitors!"

Facing Arsalan's ulterior motive, Nurjiang and Altan were not panicked at all. Since they dared to force the emperor to abdicate, they were naturally prepared for Arsalan to turn against them. They immediately shouted loudly:

"Brother Acas, hurry up and help us kill the tyrant!"

Following the shouts of the two men, Arsalan looked at his confidant Akas in disbelief. At this time, Akas was also leading his troops to fight with Arsalan's guards, and the troops of both sides immediately started a fierce battle.

Under the protection of the guards, Arsalan looked at the rebels in front of him with hatred in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Nurjiang, Altan, Akas, you traitors, we will tear you all into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

"And you, Ye Mingsheng, I will never let you go!"

Although Arsalan had been careful about the Fengwu Army's political infiltration into the Robe people in recent years, after the disastrous defeat last fall, the Robe people barely survived with the help of the Fengwu Army. Everything changed drastically.

As the Great Khan, Arsalan's reputation in Luobi had fallen to the bottom, but this also gave the Fengwu Army an opportunity to take advantage of. Under Ye Mingsheng's order, the staff of the Foreign Affairs Bureau contacted the powerful people in Luobi and carefully planned this palace coup.

Ye Mingsheng wanted to kill Arsalan, the Luobi Khan who was hostile to the Fengwu Army, and then support a Luobi who was pro-Fengwu Army to become the new Khan...
