A flock of crows perched on dead branches makes heart-wrenching sounds.

More than a dozen fast horses galloped past the road by the dead branches, and the crows on the dead trees flew up, and all of them let out a ghostly cry of 'woo-wow', and flew into the hazy night, and disappeared.

After seven days and seven nights, Asotai finally arrived at the gate of the hot spring temple, jumped off the horse and hurried to the temple, feeling extremely heavy.

As soon as Asutai entered the gate, he also rode from behind, and immediately a messenger came down, and after dismounting, he also went straight to the temple.

Under the guidance of the guards, Azoda came to Meng Ge's bedroom, where the smell of medicine was strong, Meng Ge was wrapped in a white cloth, his lips were dry and white, and he was lying on the bed dying.

Asutai knelt on the edge of the bed, grabbed Meng Ke's hand and wept: "Father Khan, the child is not filial, and he failed to serve by his father's side so that Father Khan was seriously injured. ”

Meng Ge heard that it was Azida's voice, slowly opened his eyes, took a breath, and said weakly, "Child, you are here." ”

"Well, I'm coming, Father Khan. With tears in his eyes, Asutai put Meng Ge's hand to his face, and the father-son relationship was so deep.

"Your uncle, King Mo Nan, have you arrived?" Meng Ge asked Asutai strongly,

Meng Ge is concerned about the major affairs of Mongolia, and does not want to become the culprit of the follow-up civil strife in Mongolia because of his sudden death.

Asutai thought for a while, already understood what his father Khan was thinking, his heart was a little uneven, his face changed slightly, he didn't want to answer, seeing Meng Ge's painful and struggling look, and he couldn't bear it, and was about to reply, the inner chamberlain rushed to kneel down and said: "Report to the Great Khan, the king of Mo Nan is trapped in the battle situation in Ezhou and can't come, this is his reply." As he spoke, he handed the letter in both hands and wanted to present it to Möngke.

Meng Ge worked hard, only the inheritance of the Khan in his heart, his children are still young, the third brother Hulegu is far away in the West, his heart can not become the Great Khan of Mongolia, only Kublai Khan and Ali Buge are the preferred candidates, under the trade-off, carefully chose Kublai Khan as the heir to the Khan, so he ordered Kublai Khan to come to accept the will, ordered Ali Buge to stay in place, but he never thought of such a big event, the fourth brother Kublai Khan failed to come, thinking of the next situation in Mongolia in the future, Meng Ge couldn't help but convulsions and excitement.

Asutai hurriedly persuaded: "Father Khan, don't get excited. I couldn't help but feel a hint of hatred for Kublai Khan in my heart.

The inner chamberlain still knelt in place with the letter, and a cold air infiltrated into the room, making people shudder, and before Meng Ge took the letter from the inner chamberlain's hand, Ah Sutai ordered him to go down, and the inner chamberlain hurriedly withdrew the letter.

Rushing back from Asutai, the generals above 1,000 households who followed Meng Ge rushed to the hot spring temple one after another, stopped outside Meng Ge's room, and waited for Meng Ge's communication, all the generals were uneasy in their hearts, and they all had a premonition in their hearts.

Meng Ge wanted to tell the inner chamberlain to stop, and spread the news that the thousand-household-level general had entered the room to entrust the remains, but just as he was about to speak, he coughed a few times in one breath, and instead, the inner chamberlain had already left the room.

Meng Ge felt that he was no longer able to do it, and said to Asutai with a trembling: "Quick, quickly call the generals outside the room to come in." ”

Asutai had already guessed what Meng Ge meant, and he was unwilling, a deep conspiracy sprouted in his heart, Meng Ge almost had no strength to speak, just looked at his most trusted son with pleading eyes,

Asutai remained motionless, "Father Khan, I am your own son, why do you want to do this to me?" Asutai's nerves seemed to be stimulated, and he stared at Meng Ge viciously.

At the last moment, the khan finally realized that many things were not firmly under control, and he gave up his pleading gaze and turned to a burst of pathos.

Suddenly, Meng Ge didn't know where he got the strength, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Asutai's arm tightly, held up his heavy body, and stared at Asutai with both eyes.

With the last of his strength, he said: "The position of the Great Khan is passed on to Kubi, Kubi." Before Meng Ge could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, slowly raised his hand and pointed at the knife holder, and finally his eyes widened angrily, his arm slipped from Asutai's eyes, and his heavy body slowly fell on the bed.

Most of the blood splattered in front of Meng Ge, and some blood star foam splashed on Asutai's face, as if Meng Ge wanted his son to always remember this scene, so as to remind him not to forget his last life.

Looking at his father's round eyes and the blood remaining at the corners of his mouth, Asutai seemed to be able to feel his father's unfinished hatred.

Asutai didn't cry, as a man in the Mongolian steppe, he has an innate strength, Asutai held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, reached out and closed Meng Ge's eyes, got up and followed the direction of Meng Ge's finger to the knife holder, Asutai saw a secret fold under the frame, the secret fold was sealed with a secret strip, and thought in his heart: "Father Khan handed over the sweat seat to the fourth uncle before his death, presumably this secret fold is the edict." ”

Then he wiped the blood off his face, and quietly put the secret fold into his arms, but the stubborn thoughts in his heart still did not disappear. He walked out of the door with heavy steps, opened the door that seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds, and the generals looked blankly at Asotai.

"Father Khan," Asutai said as he looked at the generals, his voice was loud, but he seemed to wail, "he has ascended to heaven!"

When the generals heard the news, they all knelt on the ground and looked at the vast sky, as if praying that the Immortal Heaven would grant grace to the Great Khan's soul and allow him to continue to bless Mongolia in heaven.

Dong Wenwei asked Asuda: "Dare to ask the prince, can the Great Khan leave a will?"

Asutai replied solemnly: "Father Khan left an edict and ordered Ali Buge, the king of Mobei, to be Khan. ”

Min Han Nayan Aktai was puzzled, Meng Ke Khan did not die suddenly, according to his style of acting, how could he just leave an edict without a clear paper, so he said bluntly: "The prince is sure that the Great Khan did not leave a will, or is the prince deliberately stealing the will and secretly changing the will of the Great Khan." ”

The inner chamberlain stood aside, not daring to say more, he knew best, since Meng Ke Khan was injured, he was personally taken care of, Meng Ge mentioned more than once in a daze that he wanted to pass on the throne to the king of Mo Nan, and also knew that Meng Ge did leave a secret fold, but the content of it had not been seen, and the secret fold was still placed under the knife holder by himself.

But seeing the current situation, he is only a small inner eunuch, and more things are better than less, in order to save his life, he only pretended not to know, and lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

Asutai stared at Aktai viciously, like a ferocious jackal, eager to tear Aktai in half at once.

Aktai admired Kublai Khan even more from the bottom of his heart, and after following Meng Ge for a long time, he could somewhat estimate Meng Ke Khan's tendencies, so he naturally doubted what Asuda said.

Since the death of the pioneer Wang Dechen in battle, Dong Wenwei's status and prestige in the army is the highest, this general who is steady and knowledgeable, after all, he knows a lot of strategy, and is not as straightforward as Aktai.

Dong Wenwei was naturally full of doubts in his heart, he himself had no obvious prejudice against who would inherit the throne, all he cared about was Meng Ge's true wishes, "Inner Attendant," Dong Wenwei shouted loudly.

The inner eunuch was already timid, and when he heard Dong Wenwei's loud shout, he was so frightened that he quickly stood up trembling and replied: "The inner eunuch is here." ”

"In the days when the Great Khan was injured, you were serving, let me ask you, what will the Great Khan leave behind?" Dong Wenwei got up, came to the side of the inner chamberlain, and asked, his voice was loud and dignified.

The inner eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and did not answer, and Asutai was worried for a while.

"Tell me quickly, if you don't tell the truth, I'll cut you alive with a knife. As he spoke, he drew the sword in his hand, and there was a cold light in the moonlight.

Ah Sutai was afraid that the inner chamberlain would cause a big deal, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the inner chamberlain down, "Dog minion, don't hurry up and explain honestly." As he spoke, he threw a look at the inner eunuch behind Dong Wenwei's back, and glared at the inner eunuch viciously, as if to warn him not to talk nonsense.

The inner eunuch immediately understood, and then knelt down and wailed: "The little one doesn't know, the little one really doesn't know!"

Dong Wenwei looked at the bear-like appearance of the inner guard, thinking that he couldn't ask anything, but his doubts were still not dispelled.

"Can the prince make a poisonous oath to the immortal heaven, just say that Meng Ke Khan really passed on the throne to Ali Buge. Dong Wenwei said unceremoniously to Asutai.

For the Mongols, swearing to immortality is the most authoritative statement.

After listening to what Dong Wenwei said, everyone agreed with it.

Asutai was a little hesitant, he knew the impact of this oath on him, and he didn't want to bear the charge of deceiving the Immortal Heaven.

"Facts are facts, why do I swear to Immortality. "Azoda was struggling and unwilling to swear.

"Since it is true, what is the harm of swearing, if not, how can you be convinced by your words. Dong Wenwei retorted,

Ah Sutai was set up like a fire frame, and made a difficult choice, "There is no turning back when you open the bow, since this is the case, let's go all the way to the end!" Ah Sutai finally relented, gritted his teeth and swore a poisonous oath to Changshengtian.

"I, Asutai, swear in the name of Changshengtian that my father Khan has indeed passed on the throne to Ali Buge, the king of Mobei, and if there is deception, I am willing to accept any punishment from Changshengtian. ”

As soon as this oath came out, the generals were naturally convinced, and Dong Wenwei finally only said to Azida, "I hope you don't go against the wishes of your father Khan, otherwise, what face will you face in the future." ”

Ah Sutai listened to Dong Wenwei's words, and his heart twitched for a while, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

The silent hot spring temple came with a burst of weeping sounds, the white curtains hung all over the temple, the whole ancient temple oozes a terrible desolation, God's whip ordered the fall of the Diaoyu City, this commanding and stormy, with a good merit of the Khan, with his unfulfilled wishes, with regrets, but also with hatred and disappointment soul to return to the eternal life.
