On the flat ground ten miles away from the Valley of Broken Intestines, bonfires were repeated, glowing with cold light under the dim and cold moonlight, and the entire open ground was covered with dense corpses, black and pressed, and the cries and howls of lost relatives and friends and the unbearable pain of injuries were endless.

The rescue continued, the valley of the broken intestine still flickered with flowing fires, and the search and rescue team continued to search and rescue all night.

Kublai Khan stood under the vast starry sky, looking at the endless corpses in front of him, he didn't say a word, extremely silent, he still couldn't figure out what went wrong, why things had developed to this point, he was a little reproachful, maybe he shouldn't have made such a choice, or maybe he was too anxious.

His puzzled eyes suddenly flew to the scene when he was trapped in the Valley of Broken Intestines, about to be swallowed up by the surging underground, at that moment, the earth shook, Kublai Khan did not stand firm, and was almost swallowed by the sudden indiscriminate swarm, at that time Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba had not yet woken up, so naturally they had no time to take care of Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan could feel a strong momentum under his feet to bounce himself away, this mysterious force was by no means a force of nature, it must be man-made, but he couldn't understand that if there was such a person underneath, then how did he do it。

While he was thinking about it, the warriors below escorted a man covered in mud to Kublai Khan's side, shining the torch carefully, and it was not difficult to recognize that this person was Ali Buge.

He was fortunate not to be buried alive by the Broken Intestine Valley, but he was captured by Kublai Khan's search and rescue team, and although he was covered in mud and exhausted, he always put on an unyielding posture.

"Seventh brother, what do you have to say now?" Kublai Khan asked,

Kublai Khan called Ali Buge's seventh brother at this moment, but it is conceivable that at this moment, his state of mind is not the joy and pride of victory, but the victory is like a big defeat.

When Ali Buge heard Kublai Khan call himself the seventh brother, the pride on his face gradually turned to humility.

"The winner is king, the loser is the villain, I have nothing to say. Ali Buge's tone was slightly helpless and low, not as arrogant as before.

At this time, his mind flashed to the scene before entering the Valley of Broken Intestines.

On that day, it happened that Asutai caught up with the large army, and he handed Ali Buge a bag, which was the one that Zongzheng asked Asutai to transfer to Ali Buge.

"Great Khan, this is what Zong Zheng ordered me to pass on to you, and he asked me to tell you that opening this bag at a critical moment can save the life of the Great Khan. Asotai repeated,

Ali Buge looked at the bag in Asutai's hand suspiciously, and finally took it and carefully put it in his arms.

coincided with the sudden change in the Broken Intestine Valley, although Ali Buge survived by luck, he knew that the general trend had gone, and at the critical moment, he thought of the trick that Zong Zheng left for himself.

The bag seemed to have been carefully sewn, although it could not be soaked in muddy water, this point was naturally ignored in the eyes of Ali Buge, who was in a hurry to ask for help, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to this, just take out the letter in the bag.

When you read it at a glance, you will know that the catastrophe can be avoided, and your mind is safe.

"Come, send him to the bath, change into clean clothes. Kublai Khan commanded.

Although the warriors below were puzzled, they still did what they were told.

At dawn, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa hurriedly rode to the temporary camp and went straight to Kublai Khan's tent.

When Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa saw Kublai Khan, they knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The ministers are entrusted by the Great Khan, please punish the Great Khan!"

Kublai Khan hurriedly helped the two of them up: "The two of you are fortunate! Your matter has already been reported by the flying pigeon, and you can't blame the two of you for this, and you can only blame me for being careless, I never thought that this accident would happen." ”

Dong Wenbing was puzzled: "According to the report of the spies, none of the various factions have sent people to reinforce them, where did these people come from?"

Liu Bingzhong was also puzzled: "What's even more strange is that there are eight or nine people in there, and their internal strength is very good, and they should be above me and the national teacher, but I don't know where so many masters have emerged." ”

Fa Siba analyzed: "The group of black-clothed people in front was obviously sent by Ali Buge to rescue them, and the group of black-clothed people in the back only rescued the people from the Central Plains factions, and ignored the people from Juxian Pavilion, I think the group of black-clothed people in the back should be people from the various factions in the Central Plains." ”

Kublai Khan seemed to be suspicious, and he read: "The analysis of the national teachers is reasonable, if I am not mistaken, they should be the masters of the Central Plains that Zong Zheng rescued from the dungeon of Juxian Pavilion. ”

At the mention of Zongzheng, Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa's eyes had some slight doubts, but they also flashed, Liu Bingzhong suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to choose, so he asked: "Great Khan, what about those Juxian Pavilion masters?"

Kublai Khan pondered for a moment, the current situation was chaotic, and only rescue was the top priority, so he ordered: "Hold it up first, and you must send heavy troops to guard it, and there must be no more mistakes." ”

Liu Bingzhong knew what Kublai Khan was thinking, so he replied: "Rest assured, the Great Khan has made proper arrangements. ”

"Well, that's very good, you are all fortunate today, go down and rest first, and I'll be alone for a while. "When Kublai Khan saw that there was nothing important to discuss, he was distraught and tired, so he thought about resting for a while.

Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa took their leave together and left Kublai Khan's tent.

The two have been rushing to clean up the mess since the emergency, although they sense that something is wrong, they don't know the mystery, and they haven't figured it out.

Needless to say, they all had doubts about Zongzheng.

Ali Buge was guarded like a prisoner by a group of warriors, and although they were a little disgusted and disgusted with Ali Buge, they did not dare to make things too difficult because of Kublai Khan's orders.

Washing off the mud on his body and changing into clean clothes, Ali Buge's tired body felt a little more energetic, although he suffered a great defeat, but it was also a great blessing to be able to obtain Kublai Khan's temporary tolerance compared to escaping death.

He was directed to a makeshift tent, where he saw Azotdai.

The two met again, but they were not too surprised.

As far as Asotai was concerned, he had known that this was a trap, and the outcome seemed to have been predicted.

Asutai recounted in detail what had happened after he entered the forest.

Ali Buge couldn't help but sigh that Kublai Khan's wisdom and strategy were really better than his own, but after all, he was unwilling, and he began to doubt Zongzheng.

While the two were chattering, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Kublai Khan, escorted by his guards, went to the camp where Ali Buge and Azoutai were.

"Fourth brother, you're here. At the first sight of Kublai Khan, Ali Buge humbly called Kublai Khan the fourth brother with respectful eyes as never before.

This brought Kublai Khan back to his youth when the Torre brothers worked together to stabilize Mongolia.

Of course, Ali Buge's call was not from the heart, out of true feelings, more importantly, he was hypocritically covering himself, this is the tip that Zongzheng left him to save his life.

Because, Zongzheng knew that the Valley of Broken Intestines had experienced a catastrophe, and according to Kublai Khan's temperament, he would return to a benevolent state of mind more, so there would be no more killings and more murderous intentions.

If at this time, Ali Buge can arouse the weakness of his brotherly affection again, Ali Buge will be forgiven.

This strategy really worked, and Kublai Khan was really moved by Ali Buge's sincere feelings, but at this time, Asutai didn't understand when Ali Buge would be so respectful to Kublai Khan.

"Great Khan, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you," Ali called out.

Before he finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Ali Buge: "Asutai, shut up, don't you hurry up and compensate your seventh uncle." ”

"No, I don't recognize this seventh uncle. Asutai turned his back on his face and said no more.

Brother Ali Bu hurriedly moved out of Meng Ge, "Fourth brother, please also look at the deceased first Khan, for the sake of our eldest brother, don't worry about this bastard boy." ”

Kublai Khan has always been tolerant in the face of Asutai, otherwise, Asutai would have been out of this world for a long time, of course, how can he be inferior to Asutai's words, in the eyes of this old fourth uncle, Asutai will always be just a child who has not grown up and does not repent, he is more willing to give him a chance, let him slowly bring his heart to his side, he has this patience, and he also has this confidence.

"Let's go! I've arranged the horses. Go by night!" said Kublai Khan,

Ali Buge and Asu looked at each other, not knowing why.

"Hurry up, I'm afraid that the national teacher and Lord Xingtai will be bad for you, I don't want to see the most helpless thing, I will send a guard to escort you away, you can do it yourself." Kublai Khan continued,

Kublai Khan knew that once Liu Bingzhong and Fa Sipa knew that they had captured Ali Buge, they would persuade themselves to kill him, and for Kublai Khan, it was really difficult to start, and he knew better that even if Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba did not dissuade him in person, they would also privately end up Ali Buge, and they would cut off the prelude first, and then the wood would be completed, and the two of them would bear the guilt again, and they would not dare to kill the meritorious ministers, at most it would be a harsh reprimand, but it would leave a lifetime of self-blame and guilt, and he was unwilling to do so, so he had already ordered all the soldiers to block this news。

At this point, the eye-catching Brother Ali already knew the stakes, "Fourth Brother Xie." With that, he led Asutai and quietly followed the guards away.

At this time, the sky was about to lighten, Kublai Khan had not slept all night, opened the curtain, and fainted in the dark for a while.

However, the clean-up and rescue continued, with Liu Bingzhong and Fa Siba presiding over the overall situation.

The statistics of deaths and disappearances were passed to Fa Sipa, looking at the data in front of him, thinking of the soldiers who were drowned in the water and buried alive in the soil, countless soldiers, Fa Siba remembered the meteor shower he saw a while ago, and suddenly understood the foreshadowing behind it, but unfortunately, after all, he could not find it in time and stop it in time.

Perhaps, Zong Zheng's sudden change of revenge and hostility, even he himself has not really experienced the consequences of this, if he can be there in person, see the scene of the tragic death of innocent soldiers, and see the situation of the remaining orphans and widows after their death, I think, should awaken the most sincere conscience in his heart, however, it is all too late, the big mistake has already been made.

It can be said that the dragon is angry, and the corpse is ambushed for hundreds of miles;

Perhaps, he himself has not yet realized what he is capable of.
