Chapter 286: Suspicion
Wu Dunru was naturally overjoyed when he heard the information that Dajin in the air should have found the target, and hurriedly informed Pan Tiangeng and Wei Tianwang of the news.
The three of them immediately accelerated, and chased in the direction of Dajin's guidance non-stop, and when they were not too far away from the other party, they hurriedly slowed down, quietly covered their travels, and approached slowly, so as not to be discovered by the other party.
The altitude is already very high, and the vegetation above the snow-capped mountains is sparse and the view is wide, so it is easy to spot, unlike the shrubs and even trees that can provide shelter at slightly lower altitudes.
However, the three of them had already prepared, each wearing a large white fur cloak covering their heads and faces, which could wrap their whole bodies, keeping warm in this ice and snow, and being able to be used as a camouflage color, blending with the surrounding ice and snow, making it difficult for others to find their figures.
Turning a hillside, you can already see a group of people resting on the spot not far away, and it is obvious from their clothes that these people are divided into two groups, the slightly smaller side is the people who went to the Great Wheel Temple of the Great Snow Mountain to discuss martial arts, and the slightly larger side is the envoy sent by the Mongolian Tartars.
On that day, Shi Yun saw only a few Mongolian Tartar envoys at the gate of Jingangmen Mountain, and Wu Dunru and the others originally thought that they had come lightly, but now they saw that there were about 20 or 30 people in this group.
Some were dressed as Mongol soldiers, some were dressed as Mongol warriors, and there were a few tall and strong men with muscles bulging like iron and stone, and even in the ice and snow, half of their arms were bare.
Wu Dunru knew that these should be Mongolian warriors who were proficient in the art of wrestling, although the art of wrestling was very different from the martial arts of the Central Plains, but the skills of the masters were very not to be underestimated. Martial arts people who don't know what to do, even if they are proficient in kung fu, are likely to suffer a big loss in their hands.
There are a few others. Walking towards Oh, you can see that they are light on their feet and swift in their movements. It should be a martial arts master recruited by the Mongols to act as a guard.
The last two are wearing the official uniforms of Mongolian civil officials, and they should be the two adults in this envoy team.
It is implied in the book that it is really because this group of Mongolian Tatars is unfamiliar with the place and does not know the path, and there is a huge difference in the physical fitness and skill of the people.
Those wrestling masters and martial arts people are absolute masters, of course, they are not afraid of the cold, and the other Mongolian soldiers and Mongolian warriors are ordinary third-rate at best, at most barely second-rate figures, and when they reach this snowy mountain, the harsh climate and lack of oxygen have made them a little unbearable.
What's more, even in the Mongol court, he can be regarded as a noble envoy and deputy envoy. Although the Mongolian Tatars are born strong and strong, their physique is stronger than that of the Han people, but as civil officials, there is still a big gap between their physical fitness and those who practice martial arts.
Therefore, this procession of Mongol envoys traveled all the way, stopping and stopping at an extremely slow pace. Although they set off a few days earlier than Wu Dunru and the others, they had only just caught up with the people of the Vajra Gate in the evening of yesterday.
Wu Dunru made a gesture, and together with Pan Tiangeng and Wei Tianwang, he lowered his body, trying to avoid the sight of the King Kong Gate and the Mongols, and slowly approached the place where they were camping. It took half an hour to get close to the camp without realizing it.
In order to be sheltered from the wind and snow, the camp site chosen by the Kongomen and the Mongols was a hollow on the hillside sheltered from the wind on three sides. In this way, in the cold night, it is possible to avoid the cold wind that scrapes the bones, so that the temperature of the campfire can warm everyone in the camp for a longer time.
Because the health of the two envoys in the Mongolian procession was really uncomfortable, although it was still early, they had already camped and rested early at their insistence.
It's just that the silence of the two sides in the camp is a little weird, and the oppressive atmosphere makes the three Wu Dunru in the dark obviously feel that both sides are trying their best to control their anger, and the embarrassing atmosphere is about to erupt.
Wu Dunru in the dark was a little puzzled, shouldn't the team of King Kong Gate and the Mongolian envoys at this time be very happy to talk with each other, and be like glue? How could it be such a strange atmosphere!
Use your eyes to appease Pan Tiangeng, especially the more impulsive Wei Tianwang, so that they don't act rashly, first figure out the truth of the matter, and then act according to their own eyes.
In fact, what Wu Dunru didn't know was that the incident originated from the careful planning of the Mongolian national division and the first warrior of the Mongolian Empire, King Jinlun, some time ago, who wanted to disrupt the Central Plains Martial Arts Victory Pass Hero Conference, but he didn't expect it to be a failure in the end, and it failed to affect the convening of the Hero Conference at all, but instead let his own troops lose his troops and make the other party prestige shocked.
Now there are countless martial artists from the Central Plains gathered in Xiangyang City, so that the Mongol Empire's grand plan to break through Xiangyang City and then seize the Southern Song Dynasty has met with great resistance.
Therefore, the Mongolian court also realized the shortcomings of its own lack of power in the rivers and lakes, and decided to recruit the forces in the rivers and lakes and encircle the masters of martial arts, so as to confront the forces in the rivers and lakes led by Guo Jing and others in the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as they could suppress this anti-Mongolian forces in the rivers and lakes.
At that time, relying on the weakness of the Southern Song Dynasty court alone, it would be difficult to resist the iron hooves of the Mongol army moving south.
That's why His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Kublai Khan proposed to send a team of Mongolian envoys to the King Kong Gate and the Great Snow Mountain Dalun Temple, to solicit these two Western Regions sects to be used by the Mongolian court.
The book once again implies that when the people of Vajra Gate and the Mongol envoy team first met, they were indeed as harmonious as Wu Dunru imagined, and both sides had their own plans: Vajra Gate wanted to use the power of the Mongols to go further and make the prestige of Vajra Gate famous all over the world.
And the Mongols also know that the people of the King Kong Gate are extremely brave, and they are a force that can greatly increase their martial arts strength.
But after less than half an hour, the two sides began to have disagreements. It all started because of dinner that night.
Vajra Gate is a sect that respects strength, in the sect only the weak respect for the strong, everyone is full of desire for strength, although the rules in the sect are strict, but the inconsequential red tape is very little compared to other sects.
Such a situation leads to the fact that the disciples in the Vajra Sect are not the kind of characters who are good at dealing with the scene, and the only little junior brother Jin Shi who is exquisite in all directions has to be responsible for serving the master and the two uncles.
So the two adults, who were accustomed to pampering themselves, only saw the Vajra Gate people on the opposite side eating by themselves during a simple dinner, quietly, and no one came to pay attention to and honor themselves at all.
In normal times, these two civil officials still have the city government to deal with such a cold scene, but they hurried all the way, and when they arrived at the King Kong Gate, because they passed by Kutoutuo and others, they did not stop without a moment's rest, and they continued on the road without even a bowl of water or a mouthful of food.
After going through a lot of hardships, it took them to catch up with the people of King Kong Gate, and their physical condition was very bad because of altitude sickness, and now the people of King Kong Gate actually ignore themselves without a little respect and care, and this kind of contempt makes them listen to the officials every day, how can they stand it when they are respectful to their colleagues!
