When Temujin saw Ye Qing, a hearty smile instantly appeared on his dark face, and behind him, in addition to a few Tatars, two Taoist priests followed him and walked towards them.

The two hugged each other tightly when they met, and Zhong Qing, Mo Xiaobao and others on the side silently watched Ye Qing and Temujin chat.

Temujin introduced several people behind him one by one, and several of them became famous under Temujin in the future and became the so-called four heroes and four brave people.

And when it was Qiu Chuji's turn to be with Tan Chuduan, Temujin's face was still full of smiles, and he said: "I heard from the two real people, you have known them for a long time, and it was you who saved the two real people in the first place. ”

"When I see them now, I feel that I was the wrong one to save at the time, and it should be better to save a kitten and a puppy than to save both of them." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Temujin laughed out loud in disapproval, of course he knew about the festival between Qiu Chuji, Tan Chuduan and Ye Qing, but no matter what, in the end, these two real people still accepted his invitation and were willing to assist him under his command and fight for their Tatars.

And Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan, listening to Ye Qing's words, looked quite dissatisfied, but they didn't have a seizure in front of everyone.

However, Ye Qing obviously didn't want to let them go like this, and he also wanted to see how much so-called heavenly revelation Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan had given to Temujin now, and what Temujin wanted to get by relying on Qiu Chuji so much.

"Refusing the invitation of the Emperor of the Jin State with unkindness, and finally secretly fleeing from Lin'an according to the kindness of my Great Song Dynasty with the crime of dereliction of government, the two Taoist masters did this, which really makes people wonder whether it is for the sake of the people of Dawn or for their own selfishness." Ye Qing was never polite to Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan.

He believes that Taoism should have the so-called celestial art and other mysterious things, of course, he is also more willing to compare this to the same academic as war game deduction, so that Qiu Chuji, Tan Chuduan, these so-called Taoist masters, can see through the future situation.

Otherwise, Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan would not have let go of the respect and favor given by the Jin State, which was still in their heyday at that time, and also gave up all kinds of noble conditions provided by the Southern Song Dynasty court, and they were determined to follow Temujin to preach their Taoist doctrine.

But obviously, Ye Qing still underestimated Qiu Chuji's cheekiness and Taoism, Qiu Chuji, who was blushing, looked at Ye Qing, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said coldly: "I follow the principles ......of heaven, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is not for the people, the Jin court is not kind to the people, and the poor Dao is bent on saving the world from fire and water." ”

"What is Heavenly Principles? What do you think is the principle of heaven that can really give benevolence to the people of the Central Plains? If Daoist Qiu really has the common people in his heart and wants to save the people from fire and water, then he should not appear in Lin'an at this time, but should appear on the two roads in Shandong, where the Yellow River embankment frequently causes the people to suffer disasters. Ye Qing said in the end, and naturally put an arm on Temujin's shoulder.

Temujin glanced back at Ye Qing, who was full of disdain on his face towards Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan, and said: "You are wrong, we Tatars are also the people of the world, and it is also the righteousness in his heart to save our people from the oppression of the Jin people. ”

"But you can't favor one over the other, right?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

"But we need them more than you, and they can give us what you are not willing to give us, because you fear us like wolves." Temujin's stiff Song dialect has improved more or less over the past few days.

"All they can give you is to convince you that it is what you want, and that it is not necessarily the right thing. So be it....... Ye Qing patted Temujin on the shoulder, and then said, "Let you look at something, maybe it will make you change your mind." ”

"No, I'm sure." Temujin said seriously.

But in the end, he followed Ye Qing's advice and was willing to talk to Ye Qing and the two of them alone.

There is a manor in West Lake that has always been the Yan family's courtyard, and as Yan Hongyuan has already moved out to Yangzhou, this courtyard has become Ye Qing's private garden.

When Mo Xiaobao looked at Ye Qing looking at him, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then after the people inside opened the door with lanterns, Ye Qing took Temujin inside, and after the people behind him watched Zhong Qing step in, Mo Xiaobao shook his head at the door and refused to allow others to enter.

Temujin looked at Ye Qing with some surprise, but Ye Qing smiled and said, "Qiu Chuji and Tan Chuduan are often called immortals by you, but it doesn't mean that what they tell you is really a gift from heaven. I can prove it to you, and perhaps, I can show you where the real way out is. ”

Ye Qing's conversation with Temujin just now was like a dumb riddle, which basically made him think through the reason why Temujin valued Qiu Chuji and the others so much, so he really wanted to try whether he could make Temujin believe in this somewhat risky way, and even agree to use troops against Khorezm.

Temujin didn't pay attention to Ye Qing's words, but looked back at the people who were blocked by Mo Xiaobao outside the door, thought for a moment and said, "Take them back to Lin'an, I will come to you tomorrow." ”

"Clever." Ye Qing's heart was shocked, but he still said with a silent smile.

Obviously, he didn't expect that while he was observing Temujin, Temujin had already figured out his intentions, and even ...... He had already figured out that the next conversation between him and Ye Qing would probably take a long time, so he asked his subordinates to return to Lin'an directly, instead of waiting for him outside.

Of course, it can also be seen from this that Temujin is confident and brave, and he is not worried about what will happen to him if he is alone and discussing with Ye Qing.

As everyone left, Ye Qing took Zhong Qing and Temujin to the second floor of the Yanfu Courtyard, and then followed Zhong Qing to command the soldiers who had been guarding the Courtyard all year round, from the surrounding rooms, pushing out models like regional sand tables, and began to piece together in the hall on the second floor.

"What is this?" Temujin asked with a frown.

"You also ask, can't you really see it?" Ye Qing smiled and said.

"This is your map?" Temujin watched the figure in front of him sway, and the mountains and rivers on the table began to take on their proper appearance.

"It's still early, and it will take at least an hour to fully present this in front of you." Ye Qing patted Temujin on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him to another room.

As Zhong Qing put down the tea and went out, the smile on Ye Qing's face gradually began to converge, and his expression became a little solemn looking at the calm Temujin.

The room was extremely quiet, and even the sound of the huge sand table moving from time to time outside seemed to be isolated from another world by the two people in the room, looking at each other's eyes, only a fire candle made the two of them have the reflected candle in their pupils, making their eyes brighter and more sincere.

"You want to find your Tatar origins from the body of the hill, and you want to know where you came from, why you were born in the steppes, why you have formed so many tribes, and you have to face endless conquests and killings every day. God has let you descend on the vast grassland, what kind of responsibility has been given to you, why is it so cruel and ruthless, like a child abandoned by God, just like your life experience, making you think that the grassland is lonely. Ye Qing said in a deep voice as if he was reciting.

"What do you want to say?" Temujin asked calmly.

"I want to say that they can't give you an answer, only we Song people can give you an answer, even if you hate the Jin people, if they want to find the origin of the source, only we Song people can give them the answer. Because, only we have a compiling record, this is not a supernatural thing, or even ...... I can now give you the answer you want, and make you think that this is the origin of you Tatars, and that you can ...... It was used as a foundation to gain a foothold, and then used to unify the ...... of all the tribes of the steppe Faith as your god, your totem. Ye Qing took a deep breath, his expression was also calm and solemn.

"I just don't want us Tatars to be oppressed endlessly, I don't want to see us Tatars kill each other. If peace can be obtained, I am willing to pay whatever price, as long as God is willing to have mercy on us poor people on the grassland. Temujin's expression was calm, and his tone was calm, so that one could not feel the slightest ambition.

"You want more, listen to your heart like a god, you want your people to be like the Song people, the Jin people, even ...... You have bigger ambitions now. You are very smart, you are smarter than all the people of Kim and Xia, because you see in them the reasons for your failure, and you also see the reason why you Tatars lack spiritual beliefs, so you are scattered and cannot form a strong tribe, or even a state. Therefore, you need Qiu to help you find the belief like a god, so that the people on the grassland can agree with that faith, so as to bring you together, just like us, the Jin people, and the Xia people, to become a strong whole. Ye Qing continued to analyze and said.

In Temujin's calm eyes, the light of the fire candle shook slightly, as if he was said by Ye Qing, and looked at Ye Qing quietly.

Indeed, as Ye Qing said, although the current Temujin has not yet completely unified the entire steppe, he already has a more lofty ideal in his heart, not only to unify the entire steppe, but even to overthrow the Jin people, and even continue to make their entire Tatar people stronger and become the Khan of the Jin people.

"There is a very old, very old legend: the Tatars originally had only two tribes: the Beggar tribe and the Neguz tribe, but both tribes were defeated by the other tribes and brutally slaughtered, and in the end only two men and two women survived. They fled to a place surrounded by mountains, wolves, white deer, and fertile grasslands in between. The place is called "Ergunekun", which can also be called: "steep hillside". So they decided to live and multiply here, and pass it on from generation to generation. The legendary "Erguna" is the Erguna River that flows through the Hulunbeir steppe, and it is the birthplace of the Tatar people. Ye Qing continued to say as if reciting, and Temujin, who was silent, had his pupils even brighter than just now.

"God has always favored these two men and two women, and time has given them the opportunity to multiply, I don't know how many years have passed, I don't know how many cold and cold seasons have passed, and finally one day, the two men and two women who were defeated at the beginning of the war have gradually been forgotten by their descendants, and no one mentions them in the history of the Tatars passed down by word of mouth. As a result, more and more descendants who have multiplied have gradually separated into more than 70 tribes of different sizes, and they have always been with the blue wolf and the white deer, so they regard the blue wolf and the white deer as their ancestors. And in your words, it is Bertechina and Golmaranle. And your name is Temujin, so you Temujin is a descendant of the wolf, and your ancestors can also be considered as a wolf.

Therefore, in order to make your nation more persuasive to be God-given and God's people, and to complete your national characteristics, on the basis of these, you also need to do some totem-like rituals and allegorical existence, and in this "Old Tang Book" we can learn from it, in this period when your Tatars multiplied, people would call you who were still extremely weak at that time: busy Huole, Mengwu, and so on.

And if more meanings need to be attached, then he can be given the nation of the heavens: that is, the heavenly race, or the meaning of simplicity, or the meaning of eternal fire, endless.

In short, the completion of your national life is by no means something that can be done by relying on the opportunity of the hills, but by relying on the rich history of our Chinese nation, so that you can be reborn, and fundamentally let you stand on the grassland, so that you can become a part of the Chinese nation, and will never be separated. ”

"These are our origins, the roots of our nation?" In the end, Temujin couldn't help but put his hand on the book temptingly, and Ye Qing threw it on the "Old Tang Book" in front of him and asked.

"Everything you want, the Chinese nation can give you, and there are your records, as long as you want, you can even refine it, when there are no people in this world, your nation exists uniquely on the grassland. Believe me, and believe in yourself, the change of dynasties and the reincarnation of nations are just a part of history, and no nation has ever really disappeared, what you need is to trace back to the roots, establish a nation with common beliefs, establish a civilized tribe that is not oppressed, and have your writing, historical divinity, and humanity. As long as you are willing, I am willing to help you create and establish unconditionally, all of which can give you a satisfactory answer to the historical civilization of China. Ye Qing said seriously.

"Do you want me to surrender to you?" Temujin asked, "Let me join the ranks of your so-called Chinese nation?" ”

"History is fair, even God doesn't say it, if you don't join, it doesn't mean that you don't exist in it, and if you join, it doesn't mean that you will be merged and disappear. The characteristics of the Chinese nation have always been to seek common ground while reserving differences, as the so-called: the sea is tolerant of all rivers, tolerance is great, the wall is thousands of people, and there is no desire to be rigid. Even if you can defeat the Jin Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom, or even the Great Song Dynasty, after all, you are already about to enter the ranks of the Chinese nation, so why not try such a shortcut? Ye Qing felt that if he continued to go on with the magic stick, it was very likely that he would not go far away from Temujin, but would have gone around himself first.

Temujin's mind was as solid as a rock, just by relying on such incessant words, he wanted to convince Temujin, Ye Qing didn't have much hope, not to mention, his own brain capacity has gradually dried up, and if he continues to flicker, I'm afraid he will be exposed, so he can only ask Temujin to come out of the room and stand in front of the endless sand table.
