Sitting on the stone wall, Duo Guduo looked up at the moon covered by dark clouds, and couldn't help laughing at himself. Before this, he never thought that he would sit face to face with a Han man and have such a peaceful conversation. And it was still on the battlefield, the person who should have been his enemy sat opposite him and watched him quietly, and what he was holding in his hand was the wine bag that the opponent had just handed over.
The remaining four orc scouts squatted behind Duo Guduo. At this moment, they looked no different from normal people. From time to time, they looked at Fang Xie in fear, and then shrank back as if they were cold.
"Actually, Meng Yuan was already in some confusion two years ago. It was just that the Great Khan tried to block the news, but ultimately failed."
Duo Guduo took a sip of the wine, with a sad tone.
"You guessed it right. The reason why I know these things is that it was the orc scouts who passed the news back and forth with the royal court. I already knew what happened before Koktai Menglie knew the news. It is precisely because I I know, so I felt scared earlier than them. Even now, people from so many tribes on the grasslands and from so many small countries in the Western Regions don’t know how this happened suddenly and why.”
He was silent for a while and continued: "About two years ago, it was said that a Buddhist deity escaped from Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain with some golden monks and soldiers. I know, but I have a very good relationship with the national teacher... that is, our big shaman of Meng Yuan, he likes me to drink with her, because she said that I am the most innocent person, without any evil thoughts."
"That was the night before I left the royal court and was sent by the Great Khan to Kuoktai Menglie. The national teacher came to see me off. She drank a lot of wine and then said a lot of nonsense on the table. She told me Said that there will be no balance in the grassland, unless the next unrivaled hero who can sweep the grassland appears. She told me that since she left, she should not go back to the grassland, and run away when she finds a chance, and do what she wants to do .”
"I asked her what happened. She didn't say anything at first, but kept telling me not to go back. Later, or because she was too drunk, she started to say something that I never heard before. matter."
Duo Guduo took a big gulp of wine: "At that time, I was terrified. If it wasn't for the noble status of the national teacher, I really wanted to cover her mouth and make her stop talking. Those words made people shudder. will surely be killed immediately..."
When talking about this, Duo Guduo swallowed and spit, and seemed to have lingering fears: "The national teacher said that there was a Tianzun who escaped from the Dalun Temple and brought a group of golden monks and soldiers. At that time, I didn't understand. What a noble person, he is the most trusted disciple of King Ming, why did he escape?"
"I asked the national teacher, the national teacher said..."
Duo Guduo glanced at Fang Jie, with complex meanings in his eyes.
Fang Jie listened quietly without interrupting.
"The national teacher said... In fact, King Ming was seriously injured many years ago. She didn't say how many years ago. She said that with King Ming's supernatural power, no one in this world can hurt him. If there is, it can only be himself. She explained that the king seemed to want to practice some great magic, but because he didn't know how to do it, he hurt himself and his cultivation level plummeted. King Ming has been hiding this matter, and even the four heavenly gods didn't tell it."
"Later, I don't know how this news leaked out. Da Zi Zai Tian Zun knew that King Ming was seriously injured, so he began to send people to choose the most suitable person as the successor among the Buddha's disciples. The national teacher said that this is Da Zi Zai Tian Zun testing King Ming. I don’t understand. And this matter, King Ming doesn’t seem to agree... The national teacher’s words are very messy, I probably only remember these things.”
Duo Guduo continued: "King Ming is a god, even if he hurts himself, it's nothing. He has boundless mana, and he can definitely heal himself again. But at this moment, there is a monster from the east... You Sui people , a Sui man came from the east, with a sword, and fought from the east of the prairie to the foot of the Daxue Mountain. Tianzun couldn't stop it, and he wounded two of them."
"The national teacher said that Dazizai Tianzun couldn't leave Dalun Temple because of unknown reasons, so after the three Tianzun were defeated one after another, King Ming did it himself. He suppressed the demon, but aggravated the injury."
Fang Jie frowned slightly, not even daring to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing Duo Guduo's narration. He really didn't expect that these secrets would come out of such a person. Although what Duo Guduo said was very illogical, sometimes two years ago, sometimes more than ten years ago, Fang Xie was able to straighten out his thoughts.
"After that demon was suppressed, Duke Ming's injury seems to have gotten worse."
Duo Guduo took a sip of wine to calm himself down, took a deep breath and continued: "Continuing with the previous thing, about two years ago, King Ming was seriously injured, but Da Zi Zai Tian Zun suddenly did something. It is incomprehensible. He shot and killed the most promising successor to the throne of King Ming, and then planned to force King Ming to abdicate."
Hearing these words, Fang Jie's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Both Tianzun opposed Da Zizai, because one of them did not agree with Da Zizai's approach, but he was not Da Zizai's opponent in Dalun Temple and had to run away. Da Zizai Tianzun fought with the other Tianzun, and had no time to take care of The Heavenly Venerate who escaped, I still don’t know where that Heavenly Venerate went.”
"Later, Dazizai won, but the news leaked out."
Hearing this, Fang Xie couldn't help asking: "So, Brother Quoke Taimeng sent troops?"
"right!"
Duo Guduo shrank his body, as if something made him feel very cold: "The Great Khan mobilized heavy troops to surround the Daxue Mountain on the grounds of protecting King Ming, and forced Da Zizai Tianzun to release King Ming, but Da Zizai Tianzun naturally refused to submit So the army began to attack the mountain, and the monk soldiers and the wolf riders fought at the foot of the mountain. Although the pampered monks and soldiers were very strong, they could not beat the large number of wolf riders in the end. Cavalry can even attack Dalun Temple."
"This battle has been fought for a long time. The great shaman of the royal court brought many masters into the battle and fought with the practitioners of the Buddhist sect. Too many people died. But because the royal court has a strong force, it still has the advantage. But At this time, an old Buddhist monk came out of the Dalun Temple and asked Da Khan to retreat, but Da Khan naturally refused to agree. The old monk killed many masters of the royal court as soon as he made a move. Mandu is no match for it."
"At this time, a masked man flew from the east, and he forced the old Buddhist monk back with a sword. The two fought, but the old monk couldn't defeat the mysterious masked man in the end. The national teacher said that the masked man used his sword to attract thunder from the sky, and shocked the old monk to death."
"Since then, the man with the mask has remained with the Khan."
Duo Guduo took a breath and glanced at Fang Jie: "The national teacher was so drunk that day that he couldn't speak clearly... I remember she said that with the help of such a person, it seemed that it would not be a problem for Da Khan to invade the Dalun Temple Yes. But I don’t know how the news got out. The disciples of Fozong outside brought a large number of people to help Daxue Mountain. They came less and less. Later, many nobles began to oppose the Great Khan and sent troops to join the Buddhist sect."
"The army around the Great Khan is only the royal court guards who are most loyal to him, and some wolf cavalry. At this time, the herdsmen also chose Buddha sect. They took up arms and fought against the royal court's army. Seeing the urgency of the situation, the Great Khan transferred back the 400,000 Black Mountain cavalry who had never been mobilized at the northernmost point of the grassland. The Black Mountain Army was the elite of the wolf cavalry, and immediately turned the situation around after they came back. However, because the people who opposed the Great Khan More and more, the Great Khan began to transfer troops from all over the empire to the royal court, including more than 200,000 wolf cavalry from Koktai Menglie."
Fang Jie couldn't help but shook his head, but didn't speak.
Duo Guduo sighed: "We don't understand why the Great Khan would do such an unwise move. Even if there is something in the Buddhist sect, it is also a matter within the Buddhist sect. Why should the Khan be involved? Now the entire empire It's all messed up, there are many people on the side of Da Khan, and more people on the side of Buddha Sect, they keep fighting, keep fighting..."
"If it were me..."
Fang Jie sighed: "I'm afraid I will do like Meng Ge."
"Why?"
Duo Guduo asked.
"Because of power..."
…
…
Seeing that Duo Guduo didn't understand what he meant, Fang Jie smiled: "Let me ask you, who is the most honorable person in Meng Yuan?"
"Of course it's King Ming!"
Duo Guduo answered naturally.
"yes."
Fang Jie asked again: "In Mengyuan, if the words of the Great Khan and the King Ming conflicted, would people listen to the words of the Great Khan or the King Ming?"
"Of course it's the words of King Ming!"
"That's it."
Fang Jie said: "Kuo Ketai Mengge is a great Khan with great ambitions, what he wants to have is the real supreme power, just like our Sui emperor, no one can oppose his will, including King Ming Inside. But if nothing happens to Fozong, Meng Ge doesn’t have the guts to start a war against Fozong. How can a person like him give up this opportunity when he knows that Fozong is already in civil turmoil and King Ming is seriously injured?”
"He wants to defeat Fozong, so that Fozong can no longer issue orders to his empire. He wants to be the only supreme, not a puppet under King Ming. If I guess correctly, when he hears the news, he must I am very happy. Not only him, but the entire Golden Family will be very happy. They have finally waited for this day, so they raised their troops immediately and started a war against Dalun Temple in the name of saving King Ming."
"King Ming is seriously injured. Da Zizai, who has been the number two of the Buddhist sect under King Ming for so many years, will not let go of this opportunity. So he first killed the most promising Buddhist disciple to inherit the throne of King Ming. The hope of inheritance, and then forced King Ming to pass the seat to him. At this time, the other two Tianzun stood up to oppose, and one of them had no courage to fight Da Zizai so he ran away... He is Shiyuan Tianzun."
Duo Guduo suddenly said: "The national teacher only said that one Heavenly Venerable escaped, but I don't know which one it is."
Fang Jie hummed and continued: "The other Lingbao Tianzun did not choose to escape, but directly challenged Da Zizai, but was defeated by Da Zizai. At this time, those old monsters in the Buddhist sect must have some agreement with Dazizai, That's why I didn't try to stop it. Then after Meng Ge led his troops to besiege the Daxue Mountain, those old monsters were afraid that the foundation of the Buddha Sect would be destroyed, so they stood up. The old monk who was killed by the masked man must be in the Buddha Sect has a very high status.”
"Do you know who that masked man is?"
Duo Guduo asked.
Fang Jie was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."
He didn't plan to say that name, because once the news got out, it would have a huge impact on Meng Ge and Prince Zhong, which was why Prince Zhong would appear wearing a mask.
"Who do you think will win?"
Fang asked.
Duo Guduo was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said in a daze: "I just can't understand, for thousands of years, King Ming has been respected, why did Khan want to challenge? There are too many dead people, and the living can get What? Why...why is there always war in this world?"
"Because people have desires."
Fang Jie said seriously: "A desire that will never be satisfied."
