Of course, Khan Mou Yu knew that this was only half a sentence. Li Qing didn't say that badly. Now what he saw was two endings: surrender or destruction.

As the saying goes, two evils are the least of the right, so Mu Yu Khan naturally has to make a choice between these two things, and his choice must be beneficial to his people.

This decision is actually not difficult to make as a Khan. Although the Uighurs do have a bit of attributes of fighting clans, as the saying goes, wear the bigger shoes as big as their feet. Mou Yu Khan should obviously have a clearer understanding of his ability.

Another stick of incense has passed, and fine beads of sweat have already flowed out of Mou Yu Khan's head.

Finally, he slowly put the covenant in his hand on the ground, then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yan: "Your Majesty, I, Uighur, accept your covenant. Here, I can sign this covenant with Your Majesty on behalf of Uighur. I hope Your Majesty keeps your promise and let me bring Pugu Huaien back to Uighur!"

After saying that, Mou Yu Khan gave Li Yan two big gifts with the etiquette of the Uighurs, and then he sat back to his position again.

Looking at the slightly reluctant appearance of Mou Yu Khan, Li Qing sighed slightly, thinking to himself that you might have to thank me in a few years. If it weren't for this covenant, the Uighurs would not have developed. Although Li Qing made the Uighurs surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he gave the Uighurs a chance, an opportunity to let their people live a better life.

"I promised you, so I will not regret it. The content of this convoy is just a routine operation. If your Uighur suffered any natural disaster in any winter, my Tang Dynasty will help you overcome difficulties. But you have to warn your descendants that if one day they become enemies with the Tang Dynasty, then he must first consider his own weight."

After a few ideological struggles just now, Mou Yu Khan had already put down his burden. He no longer felt that destroying the Tang Dynasty was a responsibility he had to complete. He knew that after going around in circles, he was just to verify that his father and brother's idea was right, but these two people could never return to him again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, since the Uighurs decided to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty today, any of my descendants would not break this rule!"

Listening to the righteous agreement of Mou Yu Khan, Li Qing nodded slightly. He knew that they could not guarantee the future. If the Uighurs had a talented and stubborn leader a few years later, but his descendants had a prodigal son a few years later, it would be hard to say.

But the wave of history is not something that Li Qing can change alone. No matter how powerful you are, you can't stand it.

"Khan was probably thinking in his heart that why I had signed a covenant with you. Not all things in this world can be managed by me. To the north of Hebei Road is the territory of your Tieler people. I have no intention of your territory, but I don't want you to covet my territory. I know you understand the meaning of this."

Of course, Mou Yu Khan knew what Li Yan meant. Keeping them with Uighurs was indeed a check and balance with the Tongluo tribe and the Pugu tribe.

The same is true in the south. It is true that Nanzhao received support from the Tang Dynasty, but Li Qing could not directly help them destroy the Tubo that had been riding on their heads, because after destroying one Tubo, it would not take many years for Nanzhao to become another Tubo.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee what I, Uighurs do in the territory outside the Tang Dynasty, but my tribe will never step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Even if the Uighurs want to unify Tielle again, we will still be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Today's alliance will always be valid!"

"Okay! Then we will set it in two days, and we will still be here. You and I will sign an alliance with you. You can also bring the tens of thousands of people from Yiluohe and Pugu Huai'en. You can also prepare your Uighur caravan. In two days, the business road between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs will be opened."

Li Neng obviously was not in a hurry to sign this covenant with Khan Mou Yu, and he still wanted a sense of ritual.

But Mou Yu Khan had his concerns. Although Li Neng promised to open the business road he had always wanted to open in two days, Mou Yu Khan's brows still frowned.

When Li Qing saw it, he immediately understood what he was worried about.

"I signed a covenant with you, but only you and I know the content of the covenant. I will not make it public. Khan rest assured."

"For this reason, thank you for your Majesty!"

Although Mou Yu Khan had decided not to be faced, if such a covenant was announced in public, he would not know whether his tribe members could accept it.

"Since the matter has been settled, please let Pu Gu Huaien come to me and meet me. You can go back. Don't worry. Since I have promised you that you will not hurt him here, I will not touch his finger. I just want to find an old friend to meet him."

Li Yan explained this, which made Pu Gu Huaien feel relieved once again.

It was naturally not him who wanted Li Yan to see Pu Gu Huaien. As an emperor, he had not yet reached the point where he had to meet a rebel general of the Tang Dynasty. Guo Ziyi was finally worried about this general who had been with him before.

So before leaving, Guo Ziyi said that no matter what the final outcome of Pugu Huaien was, it would be a farewell to let Guo Xi, who was also intimate with him, see him.

Li Neng naturally remembered Guo Ziyi's request, not to mention that he is ready to spare Pu Gu Huai'en now. He believes that when the news finally reaches the old man's ears, Guo Ziyi will definitely feel extremely relieved.

Li Yan did not attend the meeting between Guo Xi and Pu Gu Huaien. They didn't know what they said. They only came out of the room after more than half an hour.

Mou Yu Khan outside had already been waiting a little unsure. Pugu Huaien was still a very important figure for his later layout. With him or without him, the Uighurs' future development may take different paths.

It was not until he saw Pugu Huaien walking out of the house without any injuries that Mu Yu Khan breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost certain that except for his bad mood, Pugu Huaien was indeed nothing.
