Chapter 623 - Throne (1/2)

Moreover, Yan Liuyuan had told him the illness the women and elders in the tribe were suffering from was caused by a lack of salt. Therefore, Hassan was exceptionally motivated to harvest as much salt as he could.

Only with salt would one have strength.

In just three days, Hassan had forcefully harvested a bowl of salt from the frozen ground with the help of his tribe.

Under Yan Liuyuan’s instructions, he slaughtered another goat and added in some salt while cooking it. Just drinking the broth alone felt blissful.

Although his heart ached when he was killing the goat, when he saw the excited looks on the faces of his people, Hassan’s wrinkled face was also full of smiles.

However, on the afternoon he slaughtered the goat, another envoy arrived from a distant grassland.

Yan Liuyuan was already standing at the entrance of the tribe. He quietly watched as the other party arrived.

The wolves had discovered the enemy three hours ago, but they did not attack.

The envoy was riding a muscular horse and had a long saber tied at his waist. Next to Yan Liuyuan, Hassan said, “Master, this saber is only worn by the battle-hardened warriors of that large tribe. Be careful. don’t let him get too close to you.”

Yan Liuyuan smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. Let’s see what he has to say first.”

The envoy came up to Yan Liuyuan and jumped off his horse about 20 meters away. He slowly walked over. “I’m the khan’s envoy, Bogdei. The khan has ordered me to invite you to the royal tent for a meeting. He’s willing to appoint you as Commander-in-Chief of the Right and let you take charge of a section of the steppe!”

This envoy did not sound as arrogant as the one who came previously. Instead, he was much politer.

Yan Liuyuan was surprised. He looked at Hassan. “I killed his subject, but he wants me to replace the other party?”

The previous Commander-in-Chief of the Right had just died by his hands. The khan did not even mention revenge and was actually trying to offer him amnesty and enlistment instead?

Hassan explained, “Such things happen sometimes. On the steppe, everyone only respects strength.”

A large tribe in the steppe was actually not particularly united. It could be made up of about 50 to 60 smaller tribes, so it did not seem like it would be a big deal to replace some appointments with another holder.

But Yan Liuyuan felt that something was not right. That khan was about to set off for the South for a raid soon, so it should be the time for him to establish his authority. If he did not kill Yan Liuyuan, how could he convince the masses?

So many of the smaller tribes were watching and waiting to see what would happen. If it were other times, the other party might really be serious about enlisting him into their ranks, but it was definitely not so right now.

Even a young man like Yan Liuyuan understood this principle, so how could the other party who was the commander of dozens of tribes not know this would be the wrong move?

Then the envoy said, “If you don’t believe me, I have the khan’s edict that you can look at.” The other party walked forward and took out a goatskin scroll.

But before he could get close, Hassan shouted, “Master, be careful!”

Then Hassan attempted to push Yan Liuyuan aside. However, Hassan did not manage to make Yan Liuyuan budge. Instead, it was Yan Liuyuan who pushed him away.

Hassan turned around in panic and saw a silvery glow coursing through Yan Liuyuan’s blood vessels. It was just like how Yan Liuyuan looked when he first arrived at their tribe in the blizzard. He was exuding an extremely mysterious aura.

When the envoy got right up to Yan Liuyuan, he unsheathed his saber. A blinding glow surged towards Yan Liuyuan like a wave crashing upon him. The envoy had come here with the mission to kill this young man in front of him. Once he accomplished that, he would become the new Commander-in-Chief of the Right!

Based on the description of that previously blinded envoy, Yan Liuyuan was likely a supernatural being. But the young man’s power could probably only control wild beasts, such as eagles and wolves.
