Chapter 149 Meeting

When everyone returned to the tent, Kublai Khan ordered a banquet to be set up, and he sat at the top seat in the middle, while Jinlun Guoshi accompanied him on the top seat on the right.

As for the second seat on the right is a bald monk, but he is a Han Chinese who has taken refuge in Kublai Khan. He is deeply trusted because of his profound knowledge and meticulous handling.

The two seats on the left are Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi.

At that time, the Han people respected the left and humbled the right, while the Mongols were just the opposite. Therefore, this seating arrangement is satisfactory for both parties.

Kublai Khan ordered the guards to pour wine into their respective wine bottles, and was about to raise the wine to respect each other, but Qiu Chuji got up and said, "Hold on, Your Highness, it's not too late to drink this wine later. The old man has something in his heart, if he doesn't say it, But you can't drink this wine to your heart's content!"

Kublai Khan could only put down his hands, pretending not to know, and asked, "I don't know what Qiu Daozhang wants to say?"

Qiu Chuji snorted coldly, and said, "I taught a disciple a few days ago He was kidnapped by the Mongolian army, but he hasn't returned yet, so what is your Highness's explanation?"

Kublai Khan said, "It turns out that Taoist Qiu was talking about this matter, but that disciple from your sect is named Zhijing Zhao?"

Qiu Chuji replied: " That's right, I don't know where he is now?"

Kublai Khan sighed, "To tell the truth, he is now in prison."

Although Wang Chuyi had already known about it, he couldn't help showing anger when he heard the words, and interjected and asked: " But I don't know what crimes the bad guys have committed to treat each other like this?"

Kublai Khan said, "Don't be angry, Daoist Wang, let Master Zicong explain this matter."

The bald monk sitting under Jinlun Guoshi nodded his head. After agreeing, he said to Qiu and Wang, "Daoist Qiu may have misunderstood a little bit. Your teacher, Daoist Zhao Zhijing, was not coerced by our army, but was kindly invited by the prince."

This monk Zicong looks gentle and behaves well, Qiu Chuji saw that he was talented and did not help the Han people, but instead served the Mongolian Tartars, he was extremely disgusted in his heart.

So after hearing this, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Master's ability to turn right and wrong is amazing. Another disciple of the old Taoist was also present that day, but should he be summoned to confront the master on the spot?"

Zi Cong heard the words With a smile, he said: "Young monk has never said a false word, so why are you afraid of confrontation?"

Qiu Chuji said with a flick of his sleeves: "That's the case. The old man will listen to the master's explanation!"

Zi Cong was not angry, and said: "That day, the young monk was in the army with the national teacher. After discussing the matter, I got a report that two spies from the Song soldiers broke into the training ground of our army, and when they rushed to inquire together with the national teacher, I found out that they were the two Taoist leaders of your religion."

Qiu Chuji thought about the words to question. . Zi Cong was so refuted that he was speechless, but Zi Cong was also thoughtful, but he kept his words tight.

There are too many things to do in this military training place. As long as Kublai Khan is willing, he can enclose a random area and become a forbidden area. How can Qiu Chuji ask?

Zicong's tone was unhurried, and he continued: "According to the military regulations, if a Song soldier's spy is caught, he can be punished directly. But at that time, the national teacher said that the prince has always admired the name of the noble sect, so he proposed to invite the two The Daoist priest entered the camp to preach for the prince. It would be a good idea to make meritorious deeds. Who knows that Daoist Li is determined not to follow, but Daoist Zhao is willing to stay and make atonement for the two of them."

Qiu Chuji said coldly: "Is it because the national teacher will make a big fuss later? Mercy, let my disciple go away?"

Zicong seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in his words, and replied with an unchanged expression: "That's right."

Rao Qiu Chuji is nearly eighty years old and has cultivated for many years Xinxing was also very angry and laughed at these words. He clearly held the truth, but he couldn't refute it, and he wanted to draw his sword to kill.

By comparison. Although Wang Chuyi was depressed, he was not so impulsive. He was afraid that Qiu Chuji would use force in a hurry, so he hurriedly asked: "My apprentice was invited by the national teacher to give a lecture, but he did it again for some reason. A prisoner?"

Qiu Chuji was interrupted by this, and his anger was vented for a while, so he had to sit down again and drink. He already had calculations in his heart, if the last thing could not be done, he would wait for the opportunity to hold Kublai Khan hostage. Find a way out. Worst of all, I want to kill this traitor Zi Cong, so that I can get angry.

Zi Cong heard Wang Chuyi's question, and replied: "If it was just preaching, the prince and Daoist Zhao had a very happy conversation. However, the prince liked the talent of Daoist Zhao, and when he said that he wanted to ask Daoist Zhao to be an aide in the army, Daoist Zhao suddenly cursed. Think about how many people in my Mongolian army want to be appreciated by the prince but can't get it. It's fine if Daoist Zhao doesn't thank the prince for his kindness. Where is the majesty of our Mongolian Kingdom? Therefore, although the prince appreciates the talent of Daoist Zhao,

For the sake of the country, Daoist Zhao had to be punished according to law. After he finished speaking ,

he bowed to Kublai Khan and sat down. From the beginning to the end, he was in a peaceful state.

Kublai looked at Qiu and Wang and said, "Master Zicong has already explained the matter." I understand, I don't know if the two priests have anything to ask? "

Wang Chuyi sighed secretly, and said: "These are just one-sided words of Master Zi Cong, I wonder if the prince will allow the villain to come out and see him?" Kublai laughed and said, "

The Taoist priest's request is reasonable, how can I refuse?" Dang even ordered the left and right, and said, "Go and invite Daoist Zhao here." "

Wang Chuyi relaxed slightly, and regardless of the result tomorrow, the three of them got together first before talking, and things finally made progress.

Soon Zhao Zhijing was brought in, Wang Chuyi took a look, and saw that his apprentice was just With a haggard look on his face, and no other traces of being tortured, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

When Zhao Zhijing saw Qiu and Wang, he immediately called out: "Master! Uncle! "Then he knelt down to pay respects, which was a good way to conceal the panic on his face.

Wang Chuyi let out a dissatisfied "hum", but he didn't directly ask the blame in front of outsiders, but said in a deep voice: " get up. Kublai Khan is very good at taking care of

people's emotions. At this time, he said: "The two Taoists must be a little tired after a long journey. Now that the banquet is over, it is better to leave the banquet here." I have prepared the yurt, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The two priests can stay and rest. Wang Chuyi cupped his hands and said, "

Thank you so much." "

After returning to the tent, Qiu and Wang ordered Zhao Zhijing to tell the story again, but there was no big difference from what Zicong said.

Wang Chuyi suddenly said in a hurry: "Zhijing, how could you so reckless? Just find an excuse and just decline, why bother with swearing and insulting? "

Zhao Zhijing lowered his head, and replied: "The disciple is also worried about Master Ma's illness, he didn't think carefully for a while, and he was confused..."

Qiu Chuji sighed: "It's useless to pursue these things now, let's think about how to apologize and get away. "

Qiu and Wang thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a safe plan. In the end, Qiu Chuji could only say: "Let's go to sleep tonight, and see what Kublai Khan will ask tomorrow, and then we can come up with a countermeasure."
