Chapter 437 Layout (Six) Suspicion (Part 1)

As soon as the news of Guo Jing was defeated and lost Xiangyang, the news of his fall and falling back to Lin'an City was spread. In just two days, Kublai Khan had received a letter of peace from Song Gaozong Zhao Gou and a large amount of gold and silver gifts sent by Song Gaozong. If we only judge the quantity, it would be enough to show that the Song Dynasty's intention of seeking peace was sincere. However, Kublai Khan only glanced at it and said to the Song Dynasty envoy: "Send gold and silver back intact. I will give you the same amount of gifts, but there is only one request, that is, set up the troops and wait for me." After that, he ordered his subordinates to treat the envoy well, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him and he could not send the news back.

At this time, the Mongolian army had successively captured large areas of Jingxiang South Road and Jinghu North Road. In addition, Xiangzhou, where Xiangyang was captured by Xiao Yao, it was equivalent to saying that half of the territory of the Song Dynasty had completely fallen, and it was only a matter of time to break through Lin'an. Kublai Khan had been in his life to achieve this in his lifetime and then forge a hegemony. Now that he saw that his great achievements were about to be accomplished, how could he accept a surrender letter in plain sight and let go of this dream of guarding most of his life? Therefore, he treated the envoy so well, just because he hoped that he would go back safely so that Zhao Gou could clearly know his intentions and lead his troops to fight with him with real swords and guns. In this way, victory would be considered satisfying.

This messenger was a confidant around Zhao Gou, and he was also a firm peacemaker. Seeing that Kublai Khan was so determined, he tried his best to persuade him at first, but when he saw that there was no effect, he took the initiative to double the number of gifts for peace. He thought that in this way, he only wanted to achieve the purpose of peace and preserve the foundation of the Song Dynasty. Even if the emperor was angry, he would not blame himself too much. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan was still unmoved. He was about to think of another way, but Kublai Khan lost his patience and ordered: "Come on, tie this distinguished guest and send it to the best military tent, and give it three pounds of the best horse milk wine, three pounds of the most fragrant roasted lamb, and three pounds of the purest cheese. You must treat it well. If you hurt a hair of the distinguished guest, I will ask your dog head."

After saying that, he turned to the messenger and said, "You live with delicious food and drink. When tomorrow comes, I will lead you the fastest horse on the grassland. Hello, go back and tell your emperor what I just said."

The messenger was already at a loss when he heard Kublai Khan's series of orders. At this time, he just nodded reluctantly. Before he could understand what was going on in front of him, he was tied up by Kublai Khan's guards. He raised his shoulders and left the tent. It was not until a while before a heart-wrenching cry of "I won't eat" and "I won't drink" came from outside the tent.

When Kublai Khan heard this cry, he happily picked up a glass of horse milk wine and started drinking it. Before he could swallow it, he heard a sound outside the account. Looking in the sound, Xiao Yao came.

Seeing Xiao Yao, Kublai Khan put down his wine glass, walked over excitedly, hugged him, patted him a few times before shouting excitedly: "Good brother, you are back!"

Xiao Yao only met Kublai Khan in a hurry when he rushed to Dali to save Duan Zining last time, and spent the rest of the time traveling between Emei, Sichuan, between Monkey Claw Mountain and Daxing City in southern Hunan, secretly controlling the establishment of six major sects and the replacement of the Quanzhen Sect's status. It was during this period that Kublai Khan had been bothering him, and Xiangyang City, which was like a nail that made him unable to make progress. It was also successfully broken because of Xiao Yao's plan and directly promoted Kublai Khan's destruction of Song. The plan gave him great hope of success. Now that Xiangyang was broken, Xiao Yao handed over all the matters to A Shu to manage, and he immediately went on a night to meet Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan's long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, so he was naturally very grateful to Xiao Yao. Now that we meet, it is no wonder that we are so intimate. Xiao Yao had some demands when he came here, so he showed great enthusiasm and said, "Brother, I have fulfilled my mission and finally got you a big trouble."

"Brothers return safely is more important than anything else. Come on, let's have three cups first!" As he said that, Kublai Khan personally picked up the wine pot, poured a full cup for Xiao Yao, and he also poured one cup himself. The two of them gulped and drank it all. When they put down the cup, they couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.

After some greetings, Kublai Khan took the lead and asked: "Now that Xiangyang has been broken, it is only a matter of time for us to enter Lin'an. I just don't know what plans are for me next?"

Xiao Yao's heart moved, his eyebrows slightly clumped without a trace, and he said to himself: "Since ancient times, there is a saying that birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits die, and lackeys are cooked. Now Kublai Khan's great cause is about to be accomplished, but now he suddenly asks me what it means, but I don't know what it means?"

Thinking of this, he changed his mind, but he was unable to make up for a moment: "I have experienced many strong storms and waves by his side over the years, and they trust each other very much. Moreover, the Song Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and Kublai Khan is still far from changing the dynasty and establishing the Yuan Dynasty. If he is worried about the loss of power or the great achievements of the master, he should have not yet considered these things. Asking questions like this, I am afraid that I will treat him like this in the future, right?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao had already had a scheming in his heart, so he said, "Brother also knows that I am free by nature and have been used to the life of Yiyun Yehe. If I enter the house in the future and are reluctant to leave my hands, I may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, I have been planning something recently as a plan to continue to support my elder brother in the future. I also hope that my elder brother will support it more."

When Kublai Khan heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes and asked with interest: "What's the matter that makes my brother so worried? Tell me out quickly, I will definitely help you if you can."

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment and told him about the formation of the six major sects.

In fact, he was originally for this matter when he came here. Although Quanzhen is destroyed, the five sects that have been established among the six major sects are still very experienced and are still difficult to replace the Quanzhen Sect immediately for a while, and it is difficult to suppress the entire martial arts world. Therefore, in this way, the scattered soldiers and surviving gangs in the world are in a state of great enthusiasm, and the undercurrents are constantly invincible, and they are constantly in an attempt to challenge the entire martial arts world, wanting to take the opportunity to rise and seize the position of the martial arts world as the overlord.

Xiao Yao knew these situations very well, but for a moment he was helpless, just because the power in his hands had not yet been formed and was really too weak.

Now, among the five forces of Duan Zining and Zhu Ziliu, the Huashan Sect established by Wanyan Ping, the Emei Sect established by Gongsun Lue's, the Kunlun Sect established by Yang Guo, and the Shaolin Temple, which has long been canonized as the Mongolian Huguo Zen Temple, the other four are Wanyan Ping's Emei Sect, with the help of the Quanzhen Sect, and under the banner of the Quanzhen Sect, they have collected Quanzhen disciples scattered in the martial arts world. Therefore, their strength has grown rapidly and can now be compared with the first-class gangs in the martial arts world. The other three factions are not yet in a good way.

Xiao Yao once tried to lure it with a lot of money, or directly use force against some small gangs, and then incorporated them into the whole place, forcing them to serve themselves, but even with both soft and hard, the effect was still not very significant. The reason was that the world was already bloody, and all forces dominated one side, and the means were endless. In their eyes, the gangs newly created by Xiao Yao were nothing more than some emerging forces, so they were not afraid at all, but Xiao Yao could not be straightforward.

Yan Yan’s true backstage of these five sects, he could have predicted that if he was openly assisting these five sects with the help of the Mongolian army, the entire martial arts world would be unanimous to the outside world. If he really made a fuss, it would be a loss. Therefore, Xiao Yao made a special trip to find Kublai Khan in the hope that he could allocate all the power gathered in the Recruitment Hall over the years to his own hands, so that the Huashan Sect, Kongtong Sect and Emei Sect could gain a foothold and grow up as quickly as possible.
