Chapter 148: Entering the Camp
After Xiao Er went down, one of the Quanzhen disciples who accompanied him complained very dissatisfiedly: "That shop is so rude! Since you respect our Quanzhen Sect, why don't you come up and talk about it yourself?"
Qiu Chuji glared at the disciple and reprimanded, "Hugh has to talk nonsense!"
However, although his tone was stern, there was not much anger in his eyes, but he lamented the weakness of the Han people in his heart.
This place is obviously under the influence of the Mongols, and since the Quanzhen Sect has made enemies with Kublai Khan, it will probably not end well. The shopkeeper who doesn't avoid it and hides far away is already commendable, how dare he take the initiative to step forward and be implicated?
Of course, if he understood these obscure human natures in his own heart, it was inconvenient to explain them to his disciples.
Most of these news are Zhijing, and it seems that he has not made any mistakes and done anything wrong. Wang Chuyi was quite relieved in his words, and most of his worries over the past few days disappeared at once.
However, thinking that his eldest disciple was in danger of dying again, his heart rose again, and he really couldn't figure out whether this news was good or bad for him.
Qiu Chuji also said: "I don't want him to be a little sleek on weekdays, but he can be so tough at critical moments, but I have lost my eyes." ”
This is called the inevitable small mistakes, and the big festivals are not lost. Wang Chuyi defended his disciple, and said worriedly: "I thought that after some negotiations, the two sides would be able to get along, but now that the matter has come to this, do we still have to follow the plan?"
"That little two said that tomorrow is the day of execution, if you still hand over the letter to ask for a meeting, a slight delay will be a big mistake, the matter is urgent, and there is no time to send a letter to Islam to discuss, I will be the master, you and I will go to the Mongolian army camp today, and ask the Kublai Khan face to face!" Qiu Chuji said categorically.
The two agreed. began to use chopsticks to eat, although they were anxious, but the two of them faced danger not once, knowing that the more such a situation, the more calm they must be, and they must not mess up the pace. Therefore, they can still sit steadily.
Although the food fee has been waived, when leaving, Wang Chuyi still left the food money, and then the group of four went straight to the Mongolian army camp.
In the tent of the Mongolian army, Kublai Khan was discussing with the Jinlun national teacher.
"The result of the national teacher's plan is mysterious, and now Zhao Zhijing is willing to serve my Great Mongolia. Kublai Khan said.
"Thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the prince, the old man does not dare to take credit. The Golden Wheel National Master replied.
"But now he is willing to obey if he asks for me, if he becomes the head of the True Religion. What should I do if I turn my face and regret it?" Kublai Khan asked.
"Lao Guan looks at this Zhao Zhijing as a person, and he is very interested in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so it should not be so. As he spoke, the Golden Wheel National Master took out a letter from his sleeve and continued: "However, in order to appease him, Lao Wei has secretly formed an alliance with him, saying that if he wins the world in the Great Mongolia Kingdom one day, he will not interfere with his ruling over the Quanzhen Sect. This matter was not agreed by the prince. Please also ask the prince to condemn him. ”
Kublai Khan unfolded his letter and read it, a moment later. He couldn't help laughing and said: "What is the crime of the national teacher? It is necessary to remember a great merit! In this way, this matter will be foolproof." ”
Jinlun National Master also said with a smile: "Zhao Zhi is greedy for profit, and he only cares about staring at the position of the head of the sect, but he doesn't know that with this alliance book, everything is out of his control." ”
Zhao Zhijing's concerns have disappeared. Kublai Khan began to inquire about something else, and asked, "Can you ask for instructions on Ma Yu's edict?" I am only afraid that the queen will obstruct it. ”
It was not for nothing that he was worried.
The Mongol army captured all directions, which seemed to be powerful and monolithic, but in fact, there were many internal contradictions.
After the death of Genghis Khan. His third son, Ogedei, inherited the throne of Khan, but before Ogedai died of illness, he had time to make an edict, and was exploited by the queen Naima Zhen, took the opportunity to take power, and set up his eldest son Guiyou as Khan. This led to the discontent of Batu, the eldest son of Genghis Khan, the second son of Jochi, and the two sides clashed.
And Kublai Khan belongs to the family of pro-Badu.
"It doesn't matter, although the queen is not on good terms with the prince, she has acted indiscriminately and caused chaos in the government, which has already aroused the dissatisfaction of all parties. This is precisely when he wants to make meritorious deeds and suppress resentment, and the prince will send the merits of collecting the Quanzhen Sect, how can the queen refuse?"
Kublai Khan was completely relieved and asked, "Is it too late?"
The Golden Wheel National Master replied: "If there is no delay, the fast horse should already be on the way back, and the edict will be sent back in a few days." ”
While the two were talking, a guard reported that there was a Quanzhen Sect outside the camp and asked to see him.
Kublai Khan smiled when he heard the report, and said: "Before, the national teacher ordered someone to monitor Naqiu's entourage, but I didn't expect it to work, if he doesn't come again, I don't know what to do tomorrow." ”
The Golden Wheel National Master said: "The old man has thought of this, so he sent the news in two times, and did not mention the name of the person who will be killed tomorrow. If the Quanzhen Sect can't come in time, just find a random person to fill the number, and then postpone the implementation of this plan. ”
Kublai Khan couldn't help but sigh: "It's still the national teacher who thinks about it thoroughly." ”
After saying that, he stood up and said: "The emperor is in Japan, and he has great respect for that hill, and now that he is asking to see him outside, I must not slack off, and we will go out of the camp to greet each other." ”
Outside the camp, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi stood and waited, ignoring the Mongol soldiers who surrounded the four of them and had unkind eyes.
"It seems that after entering this Mongolian army camp, it is unpredictable. Wang Chuyi said with a smile.
"As the old saying goes: 'Where you come, you will be at peace.'" "You and I do our best, how can you manage so much?, besides, after so many years of virtual life, what is there to be afraid of?" Qiu Chuji's tone was also relaxed.
At this time, there was a sound of hooves in the camp, but in a few moments, a group of Mongolian soldiers came out of the camp, and a young man dismounted at the first time, and his skills were vigorous, and when he got closer, he shouted: "The head of the hill is a distinguished guest of this king, how can you be humiliated?"
The Mongolian soldiers who surrounded Qiu and Wang immediately dispersed in response to the order, and Qiu Chuji stepped forward, bent down slightly, and said: "Old Daoqiu is in order, and I have seen Your Highness with my junior brother Wang Chuyi." ”
Kublai Khan smiled and said, "The Taoist chief doesn't need to be polite, I don't know that the chief is coming, he came late, and he was so lazy." ”
He stretched out his hand again and said, "If you don't think the camp is ugly, please move inside, so that I can set up a banquet for the two Taoist masters to catch the wind and wash the dust." ”
Qiu Chuji said: "Then His Royal Highness Lao will bother. ”
Then he turned to the two accompanying disciples behind him and said, "You don't have to follow, just wait outside." ”
He thought that if there was something unexpected on this trip, someone would also have to report the news from Islam, so that he could prepare as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Kublai Khan smiled slightly, didn't say much, and went into the camp with Qiu and Wang. (To be continued......)
