Chapter 295 Purple Qi Comes

"Report~~"

Just as Kublai Khan looked at the snowy sky with a depressed face and sighed, suddenly a fast horse galloped over the wind and snow, and arrived at the door of the tent in an instant.

A soldier rolled off his saddle and knelt on one knee in the snow and reported: "Report to the king, someone has just entered the camp and has been taken down. The centurion sent his subordinates to ask for instructions on how to deal with it?"

Kublai Khan looked at the rolling snow and the sharp whistling north wind, and frowned slightly and said, "What kind of person? Have you ever been interrogated clearly?"

"They are two Taoist priests, and they only say that they have important things to meet the king!"

"Taoist?" Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment and withdrew his eyes from the wind and snow, his face also changed to surprise.

"Yes, they said they came from Langya, Donghai, and are now detained outside the camp. Please give me some advice!"

Just when Kublai Khan was wondering whether he should see him, an old man in Confucian clothes and gray beard slowly walked out and bowed to Kublai Khan and said, "Prince, you don't know where these two people came from, and it's cold and cold, so there's nothing wrong. Why don't the commander call this to ask? It can relieve boredom, and maybe you can also gain some unexpected results!"

"Well, Mr. Yao's words are reasonable, so I'll call me to ask, and go back quickly to bring the two Taoist priests to the big tent!" Kublai Khan nodded.

Shortly after the soldiers left, they soon saw several soldiers coming with two Taoist priests. One of them was about fifty years old, with long gray hair and long beards tied with a bun. The big sleeves swayed as they walked, and there was a fairy-like appearance. Another young Taoist priest in his twenties followed behind him.

"Wuliang Tianzun, I have met the chief general!"

The two Taoist priests were covered with snow, and they were carrying simple packages on their bodies. They walked to the door of the big tent and bowed to Kublai Khan together.

After Kublai Khan nodded slightly, he spoke with a strange look on his face: "Where are the two Taoist priests coming from? What are the important things to meet me?"

"Returning to the commander, my master and apprentice came from Laoshan. The old Taoist learned some of the techniques of observing Qi since he was young. More than a month ago, I saw that purple qi appeared in Yan land for several days. So I came to check it out and learned that the commander was in Yanjing, so I came to pay a visit!" The old Taoist priest answered calmly.

"Purple air descends on Yan land?" Kublai Khan looked surprised.

"Yes, purple qi is coming. When the saint appears, he comes and goes through the old Taoist to continue to deduce it. I am afraid that this purple qi is related to the commander..."

Kublai Khan's heart trembled suddenly, and his calm face changed color instantly. Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he waved his hand and scolded: "Master Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense. Yanjing is the capital of Liao and Jin Dynasty in the past. It has the aura of the emperor, and it is not surprising that there is purple aura. How could it be related to me?"

"I am just deducing according to the secret of heaven. I am not sure whether it is true or not. However, I heard that the commander is respectful to the wise and the wise, we came from afar, braved the cold wind and snow, but now we are blocked from the door. Could this be the commander's way of hospitality?"

"Prince, there are many people here, let alone these two people outside the country. Please shut up and ask them to go into the big tent before talking about it, so as not to be spread and misleading the matter?" The old man surnamed Yao whispered in Kublai Khan's ear.

Kublai Khan nodded slightly and ordered his personal soldiers to take the two Taoist priests into the tent to sit down. At the same time, he ordered everyone who had nothing to do with them to leave. Then he returned to the main seat of the center covered with black bear skin. The old man surnamed Yao sat under his right hand, and a group of personal soldiers quickly alerted the surroundings of the tent, and no one could get close to him.

At this time, only the old man surnamed Kublai Khan and Yao were left in the tent, and then the old Taoist priest and master and disciple.

After a while of silence, Kublai Khan said, "Since the Taoist priest came to see me, I have already seen it now, please go straight to the point. What is the matter with me? If what I said cannot satisfy me, don't blame me for neglecting the two of you!"

Kublai Khan's face was calm, but his tone was filled with a sense of coldness and murderous intent.

The Mongols believed in shamanism, but because their power expanded rapidly, they integrated into hundreds of countries and nations in the East and the West, and were very tolerant of religion, the Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains also had a great influence on the Mongols. Taoism has a special status in China, and the Five Elements Reincarnation and the art of observing Qi were also very popular. Now the old Taoist priest said that purple qi came to Yanjing, and it was recommended that there be a saint coming, and it was also related to himself. Once this sentence was heard by Mengge Khan or some Mongolian nobles who were hostile to him, it would be afraid that it would bring him a life-threatening disaster.

There is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two masters in the earth.

There is only one great khan in Mongolia who is orthodox, that is, Mengge, who is currently fighting abroad.

Once the outside world begins to spread that he is covered with purple aura and looks like a emperor, I am afraid that Meng Ge will kill him immediately.

Because Monco was already a little afraid and wary of him.

"The commander should be nervous. The purple aura is coming and the sky sign appears. The old Taoist came to investigate and did not expect the commander to be here. However, the time happened to meet the commander, which confirmed the old Taoist's calculations. However, the sky sign is just a sign of heaven and cannot necessarily become a result. It also requires the cooperation of the right time, place and people to succeed. Therefore, the old Taoist came to pay a visit to the commander to help the commander with one arm!"

The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the soft and luxurious Persian wool carpet and replied calmly, without any sign of worry or fear.

"I will not believe your nonsense with help!" Although Kublai Khan's heart beat a little fast, he still forced his emotions and said unhappy.

"Why should the commander deceive himself? The old Taoist is a man outside the world and has no prejudice against who is an emperor in the world, but the old Taoist can also see the general trend of the world. The fortune of the Jiangnan court has been exhausted and is already a stagnant trend. The Mongolian country is in full swing. I think it will be able to conquer the world soon. The old Taoist is a Han Chinese, so naturally he doesn't like the style of burning, killing, looting, and the Mongolian nobles even regard our Han people as pigs and dogs, but the commander is different. He has always learned Chinese culture and promoted the Han laws in his territory.

Xian Ming, who has been in charge of the Han area in the desert over the years, has also been quite sympathetic to our Han people. Since he knew that the Song Dynasty was about to be destroyed and Mongolia was about to prosper, and the old Taoist made plans for the people of the world, he naturally hoped that the great commander who sympathized with the Han people could ascend to the throne of the Mongolian Khan and would be more kind and compassionate to our Chinese people in the future. Therefore, this arm's strength was naturally willing to help. In order to make the great commander believe in the sincerity of the old Taoist, the old Taoist specially brought a rare gift to the great commander to express his feelings..."

The old Taoist priest said as he took the package from his shoulder and placed it on the table to open it. Several layers of linen and cotton cloth were opened one after another, and finally an object wrapped in red ribbons and golden silk appeared.

Looking at the old Taoist priest's solemn and so tightly wrapped gift, even Kublai Khan, who didn't care much, gradually felt nervous.

To be honest, the old Taoist priest had only said less than five sentences since he arrived, but each sentence made him excited and frightened.

No one does not want to be the Mongol Khan who ruled the world, especially himself. As the highest bloodline of the Golden Family, as the younger brother of Mongol Khan, he is definitely qualified to be the first choice successor of the next Mongol Khan. However, now he is suspicious of Mongol, and is also afraid of other brothers and a few uncles and nephews, and leads the affairs of the Han area in the south of the desert. In fact, in the eyes of all Mongolian nobles, the roots of the Mongolian tribes are on the grasslands, and only the grasslands where cattle, sheep, horses and horses have been grazing for generations is the place where the Mongols rely on.

The fiefdom is outside and inside the pass, which is two completely different treatments.

But at the moment, he has no military power and no fiefdom outside the pass. If he does not have greater contributions, he is afraid that the throne of the Great Sweat in the future will not come to him.

To gain power and status, the best way at present is to participate in the Great Song Dynasty in the attack on Jiangnan. If you have the merit of destroying the country, you will naturally gain the support of a large number of nobles, and you will have more confidence in fighting for the Khan throne after the death of Mengge Khan in the future.

But these all require a prerequisite.

That is to gain the trust of Mengge Khan, give him military power, and let him lead his troops to fight.

Although he also thought that if he replaced Tachar, he would have already reached Ezhou.

But without a chance, he could only stay in his own territory, depressed and dazed and spent his time.

But the old Taoist priest who had come from unknown to him suddenly opened up his ambition that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and said he wanted to help him. Kublai Khan felt a little unreal, but at the same time, he also felt an uncontrollable expectation.

"This thing is a magic weapon that the old Taoist has refined for more than ten years. Today I present it to the commander. I hope the commander will not forget the old Taoist's request just now..."

The old Taoist priest said, slowly pulling apart the red ribbon tied to the silk. As the golden silk fell down from all sides, a purple crystal bottle with crystal clear body of more than a foot high appeared.

"Hiss~~"

The moment the crystal bottle was revealed, the old man named Yao, who was sitting opposite the old Taoist priest, shook his hand and pulled off a few gray breaths. He took a breath and his old eyes were wide open. His wrinkled face instantly became dull, and before he knew it, a trace of saliva dripped down his beard.

Kublai Khan's situation was not much better. He was sitting steadily and was still turning a green jade ring on his finger. But when he saw the crystal bottle, he shook his hand and stroked it down, and then fell to the ground with a click. His face was dull and he looked straight at the crystal bottle in front of the old Taoist priest. His mouth was wide open and he could stuff a big duck egg into it.

"What... treasure... treasure?"

After a while, Kublai Khan stood up and strode to the old Taoist priest, reached his hand in front of the crystal bottle but stopped quickly, as if he felt that it was too offensive to reach out to get the treasure.

"This thing is called the Purple Jade Crystal Bagua Bottle. It was made by the old Taoist picking Kunlun purple gold jade Sui and refining it with Taoist secret techniques. It took more than ten years to succeed. This thing is the only one between heaven and earth. Today I will offer it to the commander!"

After the old Taoist priest stood up and bowed his head, he picked up the crystal bottle with both hands and placed it carefully in Kublai Khan's hand.

"This... this is too expensive..." Kublai Khan couldn't help but tremble slightly, holding this piece of crystal glass that he had never seen before, and felt the blood rushing all over his body.

As a member of the most noble golden family in Mongolia, he has seen countless treasures since he was a child. In recent years, the Mongolian army has fought in the east and west, and treasures from the east and west have been continuously transported back. However, he doesn't need to just distinguish them and look carefully, and you will know that the treasure in front of him is definitely the most precious, exquisite and incredible treasure in the world. Not to mention that he has never seen it, he believes that Mengge Khan has never seen it.

If he had just believed in the old Taoist priest's words, and even thought in his heart whether he would kill the two Taoists after they were finished. But now that he had bought this rare treasure bottle in the world, his doubts and murderous thoughts disappeared instantly.

This thing should only be found in heaven, and it is definitely not like a peerless treasure that can appear on earth.

If it is displayed, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world.

Even Kublai Khan believed that for those Mongolian nobles who loved treasures, they could easily exchange tens of thousands of slaves, cattle, sheep and horses.

And this great gift, it can be seen that the old Taoist priest was definitely trying to help him sincerely.

"Baby, this thing is rare in the world, it is definitely a priceless treasure..."

At this time, the old man surnamed Yao also came to his senses and couldn't wait to walk to Kublai Khan, his eyes lit up and praised him.

After carefully watching the crystal vase for more than ten minutes, Kublai Khan returned to his seat, gently placed the bottle on the desk, and then looked at the old Taoist priest and said seriously:

"The Taoist priest presented such a precious gift to me, and I will naturally repay you. In the future, I will treat the people of the territory well and restrict the minority of my subordinates to kill. However, I cannot guarantee other things. After all, I cannot become the Great Khan of the Mongolian Kingdom, and I cannot control all the areas in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Haha, why should the commander belittle himself? It has been half a year since the war between the Song Dynasty, but the commander who is most familiar with Han affairs is nothing. I think the commander is also quite depressed. When the old Taoist came to Yanjing and learned that the commander was also here, his doubts were suddenly cheerful, so he came to help the commander with his own strength. As long as you do as the old Taoist's words, there will be a turning point soon!"

"What do you say about Taoist priest?" The old man surnamed Yao, who was sitting at Kublai Khan, couldn't help but ask.

"The purple air fell from the sky, and the commander already had the spirit of the emperor. Now he just lacked an opportunity to make achievements. The opportunity is in this battle between Mongolia and Song. If the commander receives the Khan's order to lead troops to attack the Song Dynasty, is this matter considered fulfilling his wish?" The old Taoist priest said with a smile.

"The Taoist priest was joking. Even if I want to make achievements, how could the Khan's order change because of you?" Kublai Khan's face turned gloomy and clear.

"Haha, planning is for people, and success is for heaven. The old Taoist said just now that if the commander wants to ascend to the throne of the Khan, the right time, place and people are indispensable. As the time has come, in the battle between Mongolia and Song, the right place is now also here. Mengge Khan led 100,000 elite Mongolian troops trapped in Sichuan and could not advance or retreat. It seems that it will not be possible to take Sichuan in a short while. If the battle situation is beneficial to Mongolia, the Mongolian army that attacks the two Huaihuai must replace the generals. The old Taoist believes that only the commander who is familiar with Han affairs is the most capable and sure, because
