On the grasslands of Mobei, heavy snow is falling.

Since the beginning of winter, the battle between Temujin and Wang Han has stopped, winter is the most difficult day in Mobei, cattle and sheep need forage, soldiers need food and clothing, horses can not gallop in the snow for a long time, so there is a rare quiet time on the grassland.

At this time, it was already night, this was Temujin's camp, the largest tent was still lit by fire, and the heroes on the grassland were still discussing with their subordinates the conquest of the Kereh tribe to which Wang Han belonged next spring, of course, Temujin's eyes saw not only the Kereh tribe, but also the Naiman tribe further west, and even the entire grassland.

Now that Jin Guo is too busy to take care of himself, he has no energy to take care of Mobei, this is the best time for him to dominate the grassland, Temujin looked at the map in front of him that depicted the whole picture of the grassland, and was full of ambition for a while, as if the whole world was in his chest.

He looked back at the weak scholar, his eyes softened, it was this scholar who brought earth-shaking changes to his beggar tribe, the strategy of the Central Plains people and the courage of the steppe people, Temujin was confident that he could fly higher with his tribe, and could fly freely in the air like an eagle.

"Sir, rest in peace!" Temujin said with concern as he looked at Yelu Chucai, who had a tired face.

Yelu Chucai showed a gentle smile, saluted Temujin respectfully, and then turned around and withdrew from the big tent, this action made the generals in the big tent feel very strange, the men on the grassland were used to indulging at will, even in front of Temujin would not make such a big salute.

But in their hearts, they wondered if they should do the same when they left, an outsider from the original from the Middle Plains can respect the Great Khan so much, is his respect for the Great Khan not as good as that scholar?

With the gradual expansion of Temujin's power, it is necessary to strengthen the concept of superiority and inferiority of these subordinates, and strengthen the ruling authority of Temujin.

Yelu Chucai is using Confucianism to transform the Qiyan Department, and it has achieved initial results.

He walked out of the tent, took a breath of cold air outside, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic, but he still had to go back to rest, he couldn't compete with these warriors on the grassland, these people seemed to be born with energy, even if they didn't rest for three days and three nights, they were still so energetic.

Yelu Chucai tightened the big slug on his body, braved the wind and snow, and walked towards his tent.

When he was about to enter the tent, he saw four patrolling sentinels, these four people were not unusual, but Yelu Chucai always felt that something was wrong there, and it seemed that there was something wrong with his body.

Yelu Chucai's ancestors are from Liao, whether it is Liao, Jin or Mongolia, they all belong to the nomadic people on the grassland, and they are slightly taller than the Central Plains people in terms of body shape, Yelu Chucai has lived in the Central Plains for many years, and he is used to seeing the Central Plains people, so he didn't feel strange when he saw those four people at first, but he thought about it, this is the grassland, it is Temujin's big tent, and the people patrolling around are Temujin's personal companions, these four people obviously have a problem.

"Stop!" shouted Yelu Chucai in Mongolian.

The four men did not react, and still walked towards Temujin's tent, which made Yelu Chucai even more convinced that there was something wrong with these four people.

"Stop. This time he used authentic Central Plains Mandarin.

Sure enough, the four people turned around and looked at Yelu Chucai through the wind and snow, and one of them let out an exclamation and walked towards Yelu Chucai.

"Mr. Yeru, why are you here?" the man asked, surprised.

Yelu Chucai recognized the person, it was Sha Tongtian, the martial arts master of Zhao Wangfu, who was the master of martial arts in Zhao Wangfu, and he taught Xiao Wangye his homework in Zhao Wangfu, and he often met with this salon king, although they did not have any common language with each other, they were still familiar with each other.

When Yelu Chucai saw this person, he knew that they were here to assassinate Temujin, and he had to find a way to get rid of these four people, otherwise once the matter of his hiding in Mobei was exposed, Wanyan Honglie would never let his people go.

Sha Tongtian didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, if Peng Lianhu was here, he would definitely be suspicious, but Sha Tongtian thought that Yelu Chucai was a person who was perfect and Honglie, and he must be on some secret mission here, so he didn't kill Yelu Chucai immediately.

"I already know what you're up to. Yelu Chucai said calmly, "This is not the best time to start, you come with me to the tent, and when the generals in the big tent leave, you can go in and kill Temujin." ”

Sha Tongtian did not suspect it, and followed Yelu Chucai into the tent, which was very simple to furnish, and there were no maids to serve on the side, more like a scholar's residence.

"Mr. Yeru, I really didn't expect to meet you. Sha Tongtian said in surprise, "Since you disappeared in Chang'an, the little prince has been talking about it many times, worried that something will happen to you, and now the little prince can finally rest assured." ”

Yelu Chucai's heart warmed, he couldn't imagine that disciple would still care about him like this, he didn't know that Yang Kang was depressed because such a super think tank would disappear if he didn't see it, so that the little prince of Jin Guo couldn't find a coolie who wanted to work hard.

"Lord Wang, no, it was the Holy Lord who sent me to Mobei to enter the Qiyan Department and wait for an opportunity. Yelu Chucai lied, "This plan is very secret, and the saint is afraid that even the little prince has concealed it, which makes the little prince worried, which is really a sin." ”

Sha Tongtian was convinced of this, and told Yelu Chucai a few old things, Yelu Chucai took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the capital, and the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate did not doubt him, so he recounted what he knew, but he didn't know much, and the news that Yelu Chucai got was about the same.

Seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, Yelu Chucai went out of the tent on the pretext of checking Temujin's situation, came to the big tent, and told Temujin the news, and Temujin immediately ordered hundreds of soldiers to surround Yelu Chucai's big tent, and then these soldiers shot arrows with bows at the same time.

Arrows rain!

The screams sounded in the tent, a figure jumped out, pounced out of the tent, but finally fell on the snow, it looked like it was the ghost gate dragon king Sha Tongtian, dozens of sharp arrows passed through him, a blood hole, stained the white snow on the ground, the sergeants shot three times in a row, the whole tent shot a thousand holes before stopping, confirming that there was no more living creature in the tent.

"One less!" Yelu Chucai examined the corpses and saw only three.

Qian Qingjian was running wildly on the snow, behind him were the pursuers who came on horseback, he knew that he had to keep running to escape with his life, to spread the news of tonight's events, and to avenge his master and brothers.

After Yelu Chucai left the tent, Qian Qingjian wanted to go outside the tent for convenience, so he left the tent, but when he came back, he saw countless sergeants quietly gathered in front of Yelu Chucai's tent, shooting arrows at the tent.

He knew that it was too late to save the master and his brothers at this moment, what he had to do was to tell the emperor and the little prince about it, only in this way could he avenge the master.

Because Qian Qingjian's loyalty to Yang Kang was relatively high, Yang Kang privately passed on some of his canonical exercises, such as the snake walking raccoon flip technique, which is a lightweight exercise, which is very effective when escaping.

On this snowy night, Qian Qingjian ran desperately on the vast grassland.

Temujin stood in the big tent, thinking about what happened tonight, maybe it was providence, he had been thinking about how to keep Yelu Chucai, and if he wanted to keep this gentleman who could assist him in ruling the grassland, he had to cut off Yelu Chucai's concern in the Jin Kingdom.

How to cut it off? When they all die, they will naturally be broken.

The warrior on the prairie had a gloomy face and whispered something to his entourage, who then left the tent and rode his horse towards the depths of the prairie, where he wanted to stop the pursuers and let the assassin live.

It is conceivable that when the assassin returned to the Jin Kingdom and reported the matter of Yelu Chucai to Wanyan Honglie, Wanyan Honglie would kill Yelu Chucai's people in a fit of rage, so that Yelu Chucai could only willingly die for him on the grassland for Temujin, and he would work even harder, because he wanted to avenge his people and destroy the Jin Kingdom.

Temujin took off the map in front of him that depicted the whole picture of the grassland and replaced it with another map, which included the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia, the Tibetan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, and Dali, which was what he wanted.

The whole world!

And tonight is the first step towards this goal, cutting off Yelu Chucai's concerns.

Qian Qingjian "miraculously" fled back to Wang Han's Kereh Division, and a few days later, Wanyan Honglie learned the news of Yelu Chucai's betrayal, and he had been wondering why the intelligence network of the Jin State in Mobei had been uprooted, and why the Temujin tribe had risen so quickly.

Now that Yiqiē has an answer, this makes Wanyan Honglie extremely angry, and the emperor is angry, and the blood is drifting.

Wanyan Honglie ordered all the members of the Yelu clan to be arrested, and sent the news to Yelu Chucai, if Yelu Chucai did not leave Temujin's Qiyan tribe after three days of receiving the news, all his people would be executed.

After receiving Yan Honglie's ultimatum, Yelu Chucai stayed in his new tent, looking through the books he had brought from Chang'an City, and he was looking through the "Spring and Autumn" compiled by Confucius.

Temujin stared at the tent from afar, he didn't know what Yelu Chucai would choose, but if Yelu Chucai chose to leave, he would not let this person leave the Qiyan tribe alive, it was precisely because Temujin knew Yelu Chucai's talent that he was unwilling to make enemies with this person in the future.

Three days later, Yelu Chucai did not leave the tent, he had been reading for three days and three nights, without rest, and was already asleep at the moment.

Yelu Chucai knew that even if he returned to the Jin Kingdom, he would not make a difference, he had already lost the trust of Wanyan Honglie, and being under house arrest was the best result, maybe he would be killed as soon as he walked out of here, so it was better to stay and do a great job.

When Yang Kang and Hong Qigong marched towards the Iron Palm Peak, the three hundred and twenty-four members of the Yelu family were killed outside the central capital, and Yelu Chucai and Wanyan Honglie formed a life-and-death enmity. (To be continued.) )
