Chapter 221 An important person
In the afternoon of Turkic, the sun shines on the vast grassland, illuminating the figures of Jie Li Khan and Yun Xi. They ride on their horses and slowly move towards the civilian tent area.
In the tent area, people were busy living, children were playing and laughing on the grass, and women were drying clothes outside the tents. The arrival of Jie Li Khan and Yun Xi caused a small commotion, and people stopped what they were doing and cast curious glances at them.
Jie Li Khan brought Yunxi to a tent, in front of which stood an old man.
The old man's face was full of traces of time, but his eyes revealed determination and wisdom.
Jie Li Khan dismounted and walked towards the old man. The two hugged each other as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Long time no see, old friend." said Jie Li Khan.
"Yes, Khan, you are finally here." The old man responded.
Yunxi also dismounted and walked to Jie Li Khan. Jie Li Khan introduced him to the old man, "This is Yunxi, my friend."
The old man smiled and nodded to Yunxi, then said, "Welcome, Yunxi."
Jie Li Khan and the old man walked into the tent, and Yun Xi followed behind. The tent was simply decorated, with a wooden table and a few chairs in the middle.
After everyone sat down, the old man looked at Yunxi, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and said, "Miss Yunxi, you must have extraordinary courage and ability to come here."
Yunxi smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, old sir. I just followed Jie Li Khan here and hope to do my part for the people here."
The old man nodded slightly, "Khan, what do you want to discuss with me this time?" Jie Li Khan said seriously, "The situation in the Turkic region is turbulent now, and I hope to get your advice and support."
The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The future of the Turks depends on whether we can unite as one. We need to gather the strength of all tribes and face challenges together."
Jie Li Khan nodded in agreement, "I understand, but there are many conflicts and disagreements among the tribes at present."
Yunxi interjected, “Perhaps we can start by solving some practical problems and enhancing trust and cooperation among the tribes.”
The old man's eyes sparkled, "That's a good idea. For example, improving people's livelihood, developing the economy, and strengthening education are all areas where we can work hard."
Jie Li Khan pondered for a moment and said, "These are indeed issues that we need to pay attention to and solve. But it is not easy to implement them."
Yunxi looked at them firmly and made a suggestion: "I think we can start with a single tribe as a pilot to verify whether this method is feasible through practice. If successful, we can gradually promote it to other tribes. This will reduce risks and accumulate experience."
The old man nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Well, this method is feasible. At the same time, we must also actively communicate and negotiate with other tribes, let them understand that only by unity can we make everyone's life better, and let everyone see the benefits of unity."
Jie Li Khan turned to look at Yun Xi and asked, "Do you have any ideas about the specific implementation?"
Yunxi thought for a moment, then replied: "We can organize a meeting of representatives from each tribe, so that everyone can sit down and discuss cooperation plans and pool their wisdom. In addition, we can also carry out some cultural exchange activities, such as holding singing and dancing competitions, art exhibitions, etc., to enhance mutual understanding and friendship."
After hearing this, Jie Li Khan nodded with satisfaction and slammed the table vigorously: "Okay! Then let's act according to this plan. We must put it into practice as soon as possible and let all tribes see the power of unity."
So they decided to start with a nearby tribe and demonstrate the results of unity through practical actions, hoping to attract more tribes to join.
Walking out of the tent, Yunxi asked thoughtfully: "Khan, is this the person you said I really want to meet?"
Jie Li Khan showed a mysterious smile on his face and said softly: "Yunxi, come with me!" After that, he jumped on his horse and galloped forward.
Yunxi was full of curiosity, but he followed Jie Li Khan without hesitation. The two rode together, crossed the grassland, crossed the stream, and finally came to an open grassland.
On the grassland, a group of sheep were eating grass leisurely, as if they were integrated into the surrounding environment. Jie Li Khan stopped his horse, pointed at the sheep, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Yunxi followed his gaze and asked in confusion: "Khan, what do you mean by bringing me to see these sheep?"
Jie Li Khan smiled and explained: "Yunxi, look at these sheep. The reason they can live in peace is because there is a leader leading them. And that old man is the 'leader' of our Turkic people. He is highly respected and trusted by his people. As long as he is here, we Turkic people can unite and move forward together."
Yunxi suddenly realized what Jie Li Khan meant. She said with emotion: "So that's how it is. It seems that this old man has a very high status in the eyes of the Turks."
Jie Li Khan nodded and said firmly, "That's right. That's why I took you to see him, so that you can understand the current situation of our Turkic people. Yunxi, although you are not my princess yet, in my heart, I have already regarded you as my wife. I hope you can understand my responsibility and commitment to the Turkic people, and I also hope you can accept my feelings for you."
Yunxi was moved by Jie Li Khan's words. She understood Jie Li Khan's sincerity towards her, and she also knew that she would definitely fail his expectations. However, faced with various difficulties in reality, she could not help but fall into deep thought...
Yunxi gazed into the distance and secretly made up his mind to make the Turks and the Tang Dynasty friendly again and make the two countries more prosperous and powerful.
Yunxi lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Thank you Khan for your kindness. Yunxi just wants the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to continue to have friendly diplomatic relations." Jie Li Khan smiled and took Yunxi's hand, "With you by my side, I believe everything will be better."
Afterwards, they returned to the Turkic royal camp together. Yunxi began to prepare for the meeting with representatives of various tribes, and she carefully made a detailed plan and program.
At the meeting, Yunxi spoke passionately, emphasized the importance of unity, and elaborated on the specific cooperation plan. The representatives of the tribes were hesitant and doubtful at first, but with Yunxi's patient explanation and persuasion, they were gradually convinced by her.
Afterwards, Yunxi actively organized a series of colorful cultural exchange activities, which attracted people from various tribes to participate enthusiastically. In a cheerful atmosphere, everyone deepened their mutual understanding and friendship through dance, music, and food.
Over time, the Turkic tribes achieved remarkable results in cooperation. The economy developed rapidly and the people's living standards were greatly improved. This made people more determined to unite and realize that only unity can achieve a better future.
In this process, Jie Li Khan's feelings for Yun Xi also deepened. They experienced many difficulties and challenges together, supporting and understanding each other. The sublimation of this feeling also made them rely more deeply on each other.
However, just when Yunxi and his companions were looking forward to signing a friendly diplomatic document with Jie Li Khan, Yunxi unexpectedly ran into two old friends - Xiaowan and Shangguan Yu.
