Chapter 322: The Battle of Two Paths
Chapter 322: The Battle of Two Paths
In the Northern Mongolian royal court, the new Northern Mongolian king Ji Keli was sitting in his palace, with a middle-aged monk in a cassock sitting on each side. The monk on the left was slightly plump and looked kind, while the monk on the right was thin with cold light flashing in his eyes, looking intimidating without being angry.
In the entire royal palace, apart from the guards standing guard outside, there were only three people in the hall.
Ji Keli, who was sitting on the throne, looked to be in his forties, with a face full of flesh and a burly figure. He exuded a murderous aura. The icy aura lowered the temperature of the entire hall.
"Grand Master, the spies from Dayan sent back news that Jiang Fan has lost contact after defeating Beimeng. I'm afraid he has already entered the Beimeng royal court with Duo La Yue Er. If Duo La Yue Er returns to the royal court, it will be disadvantageous to the king. Please help me kill her, Grand Master."
"As long as the Grand Master can do it, I, Ji Keli, promise to abolish the Tianshan Dao and establish your Esoteric Dao as the state religion of Northern Mongolia!"
Ji Keli looked at the fat monk on the left and said in a light voice.
The fat monk was none other than the leader of the Northern Mongolian Tantric Buddhism, the Great Master Zhengduomo. The thin monk opposite him was his junior fellow apprentice, the Great Master Duoluo, who was also a great guardian of the Tantric Buddhism.
The state religion of Northern Mongolia was originally the Tianshan Dao where the Northern Mongolian National Master was located. The leader of the Tianshan Dao was the Northern Mongolian National Master, while the Tantric Dao was preached from the Western Regions.
Ji Keli persuaded his brother the king to allow the other party to preach in Northern Mongolia, and even slowly supported them to become another sect in Northern Mongolia second only to Tianshan Dao.
Tianshan Dao is loyal to the royal family of Northern Mongolia. If Ji Keli wants to seize power, he has to get rid of Tianshan Dao, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Northern Mongolia. He chooses to preach Tantric Buddhism in Northern Mongolia with the intention of seizing power.
Now, even if he has seized the royal power, if he does not kill Dora Yue'er, the last legitimate heir to the royal family, he will always worry about losing his throne.
Originally, it was a good thing for him that Dora Yue'er was captured by Dayan, but he got the news that the eighth prince of Dayan not only did not kill Dora Yue'er, but also placed her in his mansion.
This made him vaguely feel that the other party might want to use Dora Yue'er to control the entire grassland.
After Jiang Fan went to Hezhou Pass, he intuitively felt that the other party would definitely bring Dora Yue'er back to seize power, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on Jiang Fan's movements.
"King, we are all in this together. Since you have said so, I will obey you! I wonder if you know their exact location now!"
Tama bowed to the King of Northern Mongolia.
"There is no definite news yet. There is no news about them on the grassland. According to my guess, they will most likely go to the Kurdish Mountains. I would like to ask the two masters to ambush them in the Kurdish Mountains. Xu Yexing should be with them. If we want to kill them, the two masters and the masters of the Tantric Sect will have to take action together."
Ji Keli frowned, his eyes flashing.
Upon hearing this, the two monks looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Okay... we will go... But, King, please deal with those people from Tianshan Road as soon as possible!" Tama looked at Ji Keli and said.
When Ji Keli heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. He knew that the other party was negotiating conditions with him and asked him to completely destroy Tianshan Dao.
The King of Beimeng actually did not want to destroy the Tianshan Sect. After all, he wanted to rely on the Tantric Sect, but he also wanted to find a sect to compete with the Tantric Sect.
Otherwise, if the Secret Sect is allowed to dominate, it will pose a great threat to his royal power. If the Tianshan Sect is still there, it can still compete with the Secret Sect.
Therefore, after he ascended the throne, although he suppressed the Tianshan Dao, he did not destroy its lineage. The two monks in front of him should be a little annoyed.
Therefore, they made a request to him at this time. If he did not agree to the other party's request, or just perfunctorily responded, these two guys might also perfunctorily respond to him.
"Okay... I will deal with them right away!" Ji Keli gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He called out to the outside, and a guard ran in. Ji Keli looked at him and said, "Send 5,000 cavalry to destroy the Taoist temple in Langtian Mountain! Kill all the Tianyi Taoists inside, leaving no one alive!"
The guard was stunned when he heard that, but he finally nodded, turned around and left with a complicated expression.
Two monks, one fat and one thin, saw this scene, looked at each other, then stood up and said goodbye to Ji Keli!
After sending the person out, Ji Keli slammed the throne hard, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes. He could use the Tantric Dao, but the Tantric Dao was too ambitious.
Now, he has no choice but to submit for the sake of his own cause, but once he secures his position, he has to find a way to suppress the Tantric Buddhism.
At this time, a soldier ran in, and he said anxiously: "Report to the king, the leader of the Tande tribe, Tandole, has been killed. According to the news sent back, the person who killed him may be stronger than a first-class master, or even a master."
As soon as the other party said this, Ji Keli's face changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He knew that the terrifying woman was back!
"Report... Your Majesty, four groups of Yan cavalry have appeared on the grassland. Wherever they pass, they kill countless of my people and steal countless supplies!"
At this time, another soldier rushed in, looking terrified.
Hearing the soldier's words, a gleam of light flashed in Ji Keli's eyes, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth as he clenched his fists.
"Good...very good, Jiang Fan, you are really brave. You actually dare to interfere in the affairs of Beimeng. Do you want to use those 4,000 people to attract my attention and make me unaware of your return?"
"I will just pretend I don't know! I wonder if you can avoid the ambush of the Tantric Taoist master!"
At this point, he snorted coldly and said, "Send an order. If the tribes on the grassland find any trace of the enemy cavalry, surround and kill them with all your strength. If the strength of one tribe is not enough, several tribes should come together. Also, tell Ji Dong Keyou to lead his troops back to support. Don't worry about Dayan anymore. Work together to surround and kill the 4,000 Dayan cavalry! Don't let any of them go!"
"Hmph... You dare to come to my Beimeng to cause trouble? Do you really think that my Beimeng is easy to bully? Boy, your plan is really poor! Relying on them to attract firepower... Do you really think that I am a fool?!"
"I don't know if you came with me. If you did, I might still meet you! You'd better not die in their hands!"
There was a hint of sarcasm on Ji Keli's lips.
As his orders were issued, the entire Northern Mongolian grassland began to move. After being harassed by the four brothers of the Chu family, countless tribes began to prepare for counterattacks.
Even Jidong Keyou, who had already led a newly reorganized army of 100,000 to Hezhou Pass, was called back to participate in the siege.
