Chapter 29 Dealing with the Chosen One of Tai Chi

Looking at Zhang Junbao, Qiu Xue, and Xiao Donggua, who all looked travel-worn.

Mo Fei remained seated firmly in the main seat of the tent, without rising to greet anyone.

Instead, he asked calmly:

"It's been a long time. I'm so glad you all made the trip to Health Palace. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Could it be that you, Junbao, are planning to fulfill the promise between us?"

When the group saw that Mo Fei was asking such a blunt question, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Zhang Junbao's face turned slightly red.

It was the straightforward Little Winter Melon who spoke first to Mo Fei:

"Dong Tianbao!"

He had just uttered the words when he realized something was wrong; he was now a commander leading an army of 100,000.

Calling him by his first name was somewhat inappropriate, even for someone as carefree as Xiao Donggua.

He quickly changed his words and said:

"Tianbao, do you really intend to overthrow the Song Dynasty?"

Instead of answering Little Winter Melon's question, he looked at Zhang Junbao behind him and said:

"Junbao, what are your plans for coming here today?"

"Have they come to seek refuge with me? Or are they trying to stop me?"

Zhang Junbao looked up at Mo Fei, his expression slightly complicated, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't answer, perhaps he simply stopped asking and said directly:

"If you've come to seek refuge with me, I welcome you. But if you've come to persuade me, you're likely to be disappointed."

"Now I hold the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in my hands."

The Song Dynasty court was already terminally ill and beyond saving. Only by destroying and rebuilding this corrupt court could there be a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

"Once I break through Jiankang Prefecture and quell the internal strife, I will immediately head north to Xiangyang to help the people of the Song Dynasty defend this last strategic military town."

"I hope you can lend me a hand and prevent my fertile Central Plains from falling into the hands of the Yuan Mongols. The people of the Central Plains will be treated as cattle and horses by foreign tribes."

……

Zhang Junbao's expression was complicated; he remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

“I already know about your situation in Luocheng. Although it was the Song Dynasty that betrayed you first, as a subject of the Song Dynasty, are you really determined to overthrow the Song Dynasty?”

……

Mo Fei stood up, glanced at Zhang Junbao with disdain, and then replied coldly:

"Now that I've reached the gates of Jiankang City, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are in my hands. Do you think I can still back down?"

"Besides, what use is there in keeping such a corrupt court? In my opinion, Xiangyang City can be captured any day or two."

Once Xiangyang falls, how many more years can the already terminally ill Song Dynasty hold out?

"A serious illness requires strong medicine. If I, Dong Tianbao, take back control of the world, there may still be a sliver of a chance to turn things around."

……

At this moment, Qiu Xue, who had remained silent since entering the tent, stood up and echoed Mo Fei:

"Dong Tianbao! Although I used to look down on you, if what you are doing now is really as you just said, I think it makes a lot of sense."

"In the present Song Dynasty, the people are filled with resentment, and there are countless exorbitant taxes and levies. The country's strength has declined to the extreme. Indeed, as you said, it has reached a point of no return."

"If you, Dong Tianbao, can truly fulfill the things you promised, I think it wouldn't be bad if the Great Song Dynasty were overthrown."

"Well said!"

Qiu Xue's words filled Mo Fei with joy.

These individuals are all chosen ones in this world. Their allegiance has a significant impact.

Now that they are on my side, it will definitely be of great help to my plans.

……

"Of the three of you, Qiu Xue has the most discerning eye."

"What I, Dong Tianbao, did upon entering the capital was to plead for the people of the world and to fight for a chance for the people of our great Han Dynasty to turn their lives around."

"If the three of you can come and help me resist the Mongol invaders who are moving south, the chances of my plan succeeding will be greatly increased."

"And Junbao, I don't care what choice you make, but do you still honor the three things you promised me?"

……

Upon hearing Mo Fei's words, Zhang Junbao immediately stood up and shouted:

“Since I promised to do three things for you, I will definitely not go back on my word. Tianbao, you and I grew up together, and you must know my personality well.”

"Speak! What do you want me to do? But I made it clear beforehand that I would not do anything that is immoral or immoral."

……

"Ha ha……!"

"Junbao, you really didn't disappoint me."

"What I want you to do is closely related to the survival of millions of people in the Central Plains."

Mo Fei turned to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a long letter, before continuing to Zhang Junbao:

"I want you to go north to Xiangyang, enter the city and find Lü Wenhuan and Zhang Shijie."

"I told them that my purpose in overthrowing the court was neither for fame nor for power, but to give the Central Plains a chance to survive."

"You instruct them to hold the city; I will soon lead a large army to its aid."

"I want you to personally deliver this letter I wrote to Lü Wenhuan. Do you dare to go?"

……

Upon hearing Mo Fei's words, Zhang Junbao's heart was filled with excitement.

Aside from being somewhat unambitious, he is otherwise quite upright.

Upon hearing Mo Fei's plan, feeling that he could do something for the people of the world, he was naturally more than willing.

He patted his chest and said loudly:

"Why wouldn't I dare? I'll head north to Xiangyang soon. Unless I die, I will deliver the letter to General Lü."

Seeing that Zhang Junbao had accepted Mo Fei's request, Qiu Xue immediately stood up and said:

"Junbao, I'll go with you, so we can look out for each other on the way."

Zhang Junbao initially wanted to decline.

Mo Fei, however, instead spoke up to persuade him:

"Qiu Xue is cautious in her actions, so I think it's a good idea for her to go with you."

Seeing that Mo Fei also said the same thing, Zhang Junbao did not refuse any further and tacitly agreed to Qiu Xue's trip.

Seeing that the two were planning to go to Xiangyang, Xiao Donggua was about to speak up and say that he would go with them, but was frightened by a stern look from Mo Fei and quickly stopped talking.
