Zong Zheng rode his horse on the road, stretched out his hand to caress the Huagong silk clothes he was wearing, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the subtlety of this clothes.

Huagong Silk Clothes from the "Heavenly Emperor Xuantu" four of the "Tu" family, the "Tu" family had three treasures, the first place is the highly offensive Five Elements Sword, the second is the highly defensive Huagong Silk Clothes, the third is the Chu Attack Xuan Bing, although the Chu Attack Xuan Bing is not offensive and defensive, but it is one of the most important treasures.

Zong Zheng, by chance, has a relationship with the three treasures of the 'Tu' family, and he must be said to be a destined person of the 'Tu' family.

After Sun Chengyin and Youya saw that Zongzheng was rescued by four Mongolians with extremely powerful martial arts, they had a deeper misunderstanding of Zongzheng, and immediately wrote to clarify the truth, and invited Taishan Beidou in the martial arts to go to Ezhou to jointly punish Zongzheng on the grounds that the opponent had outstanding martial arts and a large number of people, and a huge action was about to be overwhelmingly attacked to Ezhou.

After Zongzheng successfully passed through Yuezhou, there was no obstacle along the way, but he came to Ezhou smoothly, the boss of the Zhongshan Eight Wolves arrived in Ezhou with three people one step late, and did not meet Zongzheng, so he first got in touch with the second, according to the order of the valley owner, the Zhongshan Eight Wolves could only protect Kublai Khan in secret, and did not meet with Kublai Khan until the last resort, therefore, the eight people were only carefully observed outside the Mongolian military camp, and did not dare to enter the Mongolian military camp.

The Gu Lord's concerns are correct, although, now he is sure to support Kublai Khan, but the situation is still unclear, the power of Juxian Pavilion should not be underestimated, if Kublai Khan loses in this infighting, then he will be exposed too early, and he will only cut off his own back road, and Zong Zheng is an irrelevant person, using him to protect Kublai Khan on the bright line, and the eight wolves of Zhongshan to protect Kublai Khan on the dark line, it must be said to be the best arrangement.

After Zong Zheng came to Ezhou, he didn't know what to do for a while, although there was a portrait of the person he protected, but he didn't know his identity, the valley owner did not tell the identity of the person in the portrait, naturally he had his intentions, she knew that Zong Zheng was very wise, and she would be able to guess her intentions, so she never said the identity of the person who painted the portrait.

The valley lord has information from all sides, and naturally knows Ali Buge's thoughts, and also knows that Ali Buge has cronies buried next to Kublai Khan, but who it is, the valley owner has not yet known, and it also shows that this person is buried very deeply, this time, if Juxian Pavilion wants to assassinate Kublai Khan, there are naturally two ways to follow, either the inside and outside should be forcibly assassinated in the military camp, or use his cronies to deceive Kublai Khan out of the military camp, creating a suitable opportunity to assassinate in a suitable place; , coupled with the fact that Ali Buge was in a hurry to seize the opportunity to kill Kublai Khan steadily, so he naturally wanted to use the chess pieces buried next to Kublai Khan, and the valley lord planned to take this opportunity to help Kublai Khan get rid of the hidden threat around him.

In the valley lord's plan, as long as the confrontation between Ali Buge and Kublai Khan has no obvious bias, she has not been able to expose, and Zong Zheng happens to be the most important chess piece in the valley lord's plan, she wants Zong Zheng to explore Kublai Khan's identity by himself, so that he can understand the current situation in Mongolia and the relationship between all parties in the country when he is groping, so as to further use his wisdom to help Kublai Khan pacify the civil strife, the so-called protection of Kublai Khan, is only the beginning of the plan, only a small part of the plan.

Zong Zheng looked at the portrait, knowing that this person must be a military person, but also a Mongolian magnate, since the valley lord does not tell his identity, and wants me to come to protect, then it must be for me to explore the identity of this person, there may be some reasons, Zong Zheng is not very clear about the reason, but, thinking that the matter is urgent, since the intention of the valley lord is clear, it is better to do it as soon as possible, and find this person.

Zongzheng took the white horse to the market and exchanged it for some silver for its use.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he sneaked into the Mongolian military camp, secretly wounded a soldier, pulled his clothes, and carefully and cautiously probed in each battalion.

During the day, the soldiers in the barracks were a little tired and relaxed a little in defense.

Zong Zheng secretly inserted himself into the rear of a patrol guard, followed him to the Chinese army's tent, and quietly sneaked away to hide while everyone was not paying attention.

Seeing that the nearby tents were more spacious and gorgeous, Zong Zheng felt that the person in the portrait might be among these tents, so he searched carefully.

Suddenly, a person hurriedly rode a horse, and Zong Zheng saw that this person was dressed like a Mongolian nobleman, and no one stepped forward to stop him, so he must have some military might. He looked carefully at his face from afar by the light of the fire outside the tent, and though it was somewhat similar in comparison, it was slightly young and thin.

The man on the horse was none other than Brother Mo, who was the brother of Kublai Khan, the ninth in line, and naturally resembled him.

After the end of the horse immediately hurried to the camp of Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan saw the end of the brother coming, he couldn't help but be surprised, asked: "You are not in Helin, why are you running to Ezhou?"

Brother Mo hurriedly said: "Oh no, the seventh brother is conspiring with the clan ministers to want to live forever with Lin Dahe, and succeed to the throne as Khan." ”

Kublai Khan was shocked and asked, "What did you say?"

Brother Mo explained: "Fourth brother, you only care about killing the enemy on the front line, but the seventh brother is secretly co-opting the forces of the clan generals, and now he has taken the lead in gaining the support of many allies, and he is also preparing to deploy troops in Kaiping and Yanjing. "Brother Mo's words were very harsh in his rebuke of Kublai Khan.

"If there is no order from the first Khan, how can he call himself Khan without his brother!" Kublai Khan asked loudly, full of anger and indignation.

Moge explained: "After Asutai returned from the coffin of Fuxian Khan in Hezhou, he said to the clan ministers that when the first Khan was dying, the Khan was orally rumored to be located in the Mobei King Ali Buge, and Ali Buge did have a heavy army, so many clan ministers were convinced. ”

In Kublai Khan's heart, he never imagined that Ali Buge would dare to be so bold, and Meng Ge obviously explained in his letter that he wanted to pass on the throne to himself, but why did Atai actually say that the first Khan had passed on the throne to Ali Buge? Kublai Khan could not figure out what happened when Meng Ge was dying in the Hot Spring Temple.

Kublai Khan felt a little sudden when he heard the news, but after all, it did not greatly exceed his expectations, after all, everything was still under control, but Kublai Khan was a little resentful about Ali Buge and Asutai's actions.

Zong Zheng secretly hid outside the tent, and had been secretly listening to the conversation between the two, although he didn't know who Ali Buge was, but the news that Meng Ge had passed away shocked him a little, and it was not difficult to realize that after Meng Ge's death, there seemed to be many contradictions in Mongolia.

Zong Zheng thought that the business was important, so he gently used a knife to cut a little gap in the tent cloth, and looked into the tent through the gap.

Seeing that Kublai Khan's expression did not change, he was indifferent, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Fourth brother, the only way to plan now is to send an envoy to negotiate peace with Song and immediately rush back to Helin to compete for the throne of Khan, so that is the best plan." ”

Kublai Khan sat down slowly, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking heavily.

Brother Mo was in a hurry, so he said to Kublai Khan: "Seventh Brother has ordered Arandar and Tuli Chikuo, Hun Duhai and others to deploy troops in Kaiping and Yanjing to prepare to intercept and kill the fourth brother, and now while they are not stable, they can immediately lead their troops back to Helin, don't miss the opportunity!"

Kublai Khan explained to Brother Mo with an indifferent face: "At present, the war is scorching, as soon as we retreat, the Song army will pour out, and it is impossible to retreat, so we can only concentrate all our strength to force the Song army away, so that there is room for retreat." ”

Brother Mo sighed and replied in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that if the time drags on for a long time, the greater the power of Brother Ali Bu will be." ”

While the brothers were arguing, Kublai Khan's subordinate Lu Huchi suddenly walked into the camp, and Lu Huchi couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw that the last brother was in the camp.

When Kublai Khan saw Lu Huchi coming in, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Huchi replied: "King, Xijiao Mountain has been arranged, and you can hunt tomorrow." ”

Kublai Khan replied lightly: "I know, you go down first, and we will set off tomorrow." ”

After receiving the order, Lu Huchi retreated respectfully.

Brother Mo asked Kublai Khan: "Fourth brother, are you going to hunt in Xijiao Mountain tomorrow?"

Kublai Khan stood up.

"In the past two days, the army has stormed Ezhou, and the damage is too great, so I ordered the whole army to rest for two days. Kublai Khan looked full of anticipation and enjoyed it.

Brother Mo looked sad and couldn't help but sigh: "Now, it's already burning his eyebrows, and the fourth brother is still in the mood to hunt." ”

Zong Zheng heard outside the tent that Kublai Khan was going to Xijiao Mountain to hunt tomorrow, he couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking about it, the valley wanted to protect this person by himself, and listened to Fang Cai's conversation, this person and that Ali Buge were competing for the throne, and the younger one in the tent came from the north of Mongolia, then, if Ali Buge intended to assassinate the person in the portrait, then the killer should have rushed to Ezhou before the younger one, if he didn't guess wrong, they had already set a trap in Xijiao Mountain, it seems that tomorrow's trip to Xijiao Mountain will be very dangerous.

Kublai Khan was not more surprised and nervous about Ali Buge's actions, it seemed that everything had been expected, and it seemed that there was a way to deal with it, which was unpredictable.

Brother Mo failed to persuade Kublai Khan to fight for Khan, he was sullen in his heart, still a little unwilling, and wanted to return to the topic, and said that Kublai Khan was moved again, but was blocked by Kublai Khan,

"Ninth brother, you have come all the way, you have worked hard, it is not early, it is better to rest early! ”

Seeing that Kublai Khan had no intention of talking again, he said no more, politely dismissed, and went down to rest.

Zong Zheng thought that there would be an ambush in Xijiao Mountain tomorrow, so he also quietly left.
