Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 160 The Golden-Sword Prince Consort! The Regent Princess!

The night was filled with chaos and busyness, and some even resorted to violence.

However, when the flames started, they seemed to be suppressed by others, and were extinguished after occurring in a very small area.

The people in the ancient tomb who had instigated this chaos calmly watched the scene unfold, their attention waning rapidly amidst the confusion.

Even a regular soldier knew that the situation had changed, and people from top to bottom were starting to get nervous.

three days later.

In particular, the faction of Ögedei began to put pressure on the Tolui faction under the pretext of seeking an explanation for Chancellor Yelü Chucai. How could Möngke possibly back down?

In this situation, once everything has been done, one absolutely cannot show the slightest weakness.

Even if your back is broken and you have a steel plate inserted, you still have to stand up straight.

Those who follow him must know the leader's strength and attitude.

Thus, a large army began to move out, seemingly indicating that the forces currently under the control of the Empress Dowager Ögedei were preparing to stir.

The movement was escalating, and the people on the Torre side were naturally not going to be outdone.

However, this move, which seemed poised to escalate into a chaotic battle, came to an abrupt halt midway.

Because the former regent princess Hua Zheng made her move.

It's perfectly normal for her, as an aunt, to intervene at the invitation of her nephew, Möngke.

To be precise, the Golden Knife Prince Consort led a large army, with the Quanzhen Sect's Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, along with their disciples, also joining the campaign.

When Guo Jing reappeared in the desert, he showed everyone what it meant to break through enemy lines single-handedly, capture the king with one hand, and shoot an eagle with a bow.

The younger generation of Mongols did not witness the legendary military skills of the Golden Knife Prince Consort, but they did witness firsthand what personal strength truly meant!

Some people, after witnessing it, even knelt down before the Golden Knife Prince Consort.

After all, the style displayed by Guo Jing, the Golden Knife Prince Consort, was far beyond what those Tantric masters could match.

For example, the Golden Wheel Monk.

The princess was indeed quick and steady, while the prince consort was strong and fierce!

Neither Hua Zheng nor Guo Jing were young; one had served as regent, and the other was highly experienced, knowing the importance of speed in warfare. Without hesitation, they seized this rare opportunity, and the two immediately stabilized the situation.

Both of them clearly expressed their views and clearly stated their positions.

Outsiders didn't know what had happened; they only knew that Guo Jing, Hua Zheng, Möngke, Kublai Khan, and people from Ögedei Khan's side had gone to the large Mongolian yurt for a closed-door meeting.

The soldiers waiting outside didn't even dare to get within ten feet of the yurt, for fear of accidentally overhearing something unpleasant and being silenced.

Although everyone knows what happened, for outsiders to witness it firsthand is simply asking for trouble.

The conference lasted for three days.

Other members of the direct line even joined the meeting midway through.

What happened during the meeting is unknown to outsiders, and there was no historian to record it. Only the soldiers outside seemed to hear someone inside the yurt and slammed their fists on the table in anger.

Only the personal maid of the Mongolian yurt-dwelling princess witnessed everything.

Some people threw their teacups, while others even took off their riding boots and started smashing things.

The descendants of Tolui and the descendants of Ögedei immediately engaged in a full-blown brawl.

That truly is a case of brothers fighting tigers together, and fathers and sons going into battle together.

Möngke, Kublai Khan, and their brothers pinned their cousins ​​to the carpet and beat them.

Kublai Khan, who was skilled in martial arts, used his brother Möngke as a shield to block the onslaught during the melee, while simultaneously employing underhanded tactics to help his brother retaliate.

In the end, Guo Jing and Hua Zheng couldn't stand it any longer and stepped in to stop the chaotic fight.

A week later, the chaos finally came to an end.

The Ögedei faction suffered a defeat and retreated in disarray.

They thought they would have a chance to turn the tide, but they didn't expect to suffer a huge defeat.

Because there are some things they can't explain, especially when faced with the Nine Yin Manual's Soul Transfer Technique.

Guo Jing is honest and kind, but that doesn't mean he would put down his power and not use it.

The unexpected death of Torreanda undoubtedly struck a nerve with Guo Jing.

In this grand assembly, the position of Great Khan was directly transferred from the Ögedei line to the Tolui line, and the new Great Khan will be inherited by Möngke, the eldest son of Tolui, who was beaten black and blue in the melee.

In exchange, the Quanzhen School officially rejoined the group.

Yue Que, who was hiding among the Mongols, stepped out of the yurt and glanced at the pair of white eagles circling in the sky. He thought to himself, "The Golden Knife Prince Consort has integrated into the culture very quickly."

It felt like a Sharingan plug-in, something that could be used by both the Mongols and Song Dynasty at will.

After turning his gaze away, Yue Que returned to the yurt, reached out and patted the Divine Eagle, signaling the eagle to be patient a little longer.

After all, when Shen Diao saw the appearance of the white eagle, he subconsciously wanted to make a provocative sound, but Yue Que pinched his mouth to stop him in the end.

Now is the time to hide.

Yue Que was also glad that his brother, the Condor, was a divine bird that could understand human speech and possessed intelligence; otherwise, they might have been surrounded by a large army.

As for whether he will believe Guo Jing?

Excuse me.

Ever since he became the Golden Knife Prince Consort again through his own efforts, Yue Que has never believed anyone, and the only person he truly believes is the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e.

"Oh!"

It was Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy, who spoke up. She was feeding her junior sister when she saw her junior nephew Yue Que produce the corresponding secret letter. She said, "That little monk Phagpa actually chose to cooperate with us?"

This incredibly smooth and effortless swaying motion left Li Mochou speechless.

They were planning to attack her and her junior sister earlier, but now they're teaming up?

In Li Mochou's view, the real purpose of this little monk Phagpa was still his nephew.

"—It seems that Phagpa wants something from me."

Yue Que was a little surprised by this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After reading the contents of the envelope, he exclaimed in surprise, "Such speed!"

Little Dragon Girl blinked: "Hmm?"

"Not only was the chaotic situation stabilized, but the position of Great Khan also returned from Ögedei's line to Tolui's line."

"The new Khan will be Möngke, the eldest son of Tolui!"

Yelü Yan was very surprised to hear this: "How could it be so fast?"

She now understood why her senior brother had said the speed was too fast.

"Is it possible that everyone underestimated Hua Zheng?" It was Gongsun Lü'e who spoke. After all, the Gongsun family was a descendant of officials from the Tang Dynasty, and they were very clear about the power of women.

This was precisely why the Gongsun family offered little resistance after Qiu Qianchi married into the Valley of Heartbreak and replaced the clan leader, Gongsun Zhi, as the de facto ruler.

Because it's a tradition, people are used to it.

The only thing she couldn't get used to was her husband, Gongsun Zhi.

"Hmm!"

Upon hearing Gongsun Lü'e's words, Yue Que pondered for a moment and said, "—Indeed, we underestimated him."

Hua Zheng, who can be a princess and has always controlled her own part of the military power, is no longer the girl she once was.

The changes in Huang Rong, the enchanting beauty from Jiangnan, were immense; it's likely that the changes in Hua Zheng will be no less significant.

The biggest change in a person is the word "growth".

It's likely that over the years, Hua Zheng has come to understand how she lost to Huang Rong; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to oversee the country.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

This is a battle between Hua Zheng and Huang Rong, even if she lost before, it's still the same.

People really enjoy reflecting on their experiences, especially women.

Princess Huazheng now possesses her most powerful weapon—Guo Jing.

"ha!"

Yue Que suddenly laughed when he saw the following content, and said, "Guo Jing is going to formally become sworn brothers with Princess Hua Zheng."

In truth, the title of "Golden Knife Prince Consort" will soon be truly fitting.

"As his nephew, Möngke, as the Great Khan, will personally officiate the wedding for his aunt and uncle."

Upon seeing this, Yue Que burst into laughter, exclaiming, "No wonder he's a man destined to be a Great Khan, Möngke's move is truly impressive."

"Moreover, it contains detailed records of how Möngke Khan won over the Quanzhen School of Taoism."

"Tsk!"

"Mongke and Changchun Zhenren had a detailed discussion and recreated the scene when Genghis Khan met Qiu Chuji."

"If nothing unexpected happens," Yue Que said, almost certain of the future developments, "after Möngke ascends to the throne of Great Khan, he will begin a war against the Southern Song Dynasty."

"We fear that we will soon witness a major battle between the father-in-law and son-in-law in Xiangyang."

The Golden Knife Prince Consort needed to prove his stance before proceeding with the next plan, while Möngke needed military achievements to quell the opposition.

Everyone immediately agreed.

That's Guo Jing vs. Yang Guo and Hua Zheng vs. Huang Rong.

Some want to test their son-in-law's abilities, while others want to prove who won and who lost again.

It all depends on whether the upcoming war will be a major conflict or a minor one.

But whether it's a big fight or a small fight, it's probably all fake!

Moreover, the practice of harboring bandits to enhance one's own prestige has existed since ancient times.

After all, it wouldn't be right for Guo Jing to compete for the position of Khan from the very beginning. Even if he were the Golden Knife Prince Consort, even if he had Princess Huazheng, he would still have to take a roundabout approach.

"Why is Phagpa cooperating with us?" It was Wanyan Ping who spoke, her brows slightly furrowed. "It can't be for Kublai Khan, can it?"

Although she had always caused trouble for the Yelü family because of hatred, Wanyan Ping still had some understanding of the relationships among the high-ranking officials of Mongolia.

Is someone already making a move in the struggle for the Great Khan's throne?

"Hard to say!"

Yue Que put down the secret letter, pondering the relevant information he had learned from others using the Soul Transfer Technique. It was really hard to say.

The Golden Family's inheritance law doesn't necessarily require the father to die before the son; it can also be passed down from brother to brother.

Yue Que's feeling was correct. Although Phagpa eliminated the Golden Wheel Monk's faction in this operation, his Flower Sect did not gain enough victory.

The involvement of Mongkela's aunt, Huazheng, completely shattered Phagpa's plans.

Kublai Khan was ultimately the second son of the legitimate wife, not the eldest son.

But Phagpa wanted to be Kublai Khan's Zhuge Liang.

The fate of the Golden Knife Prince Consort completely shifted the situation in Mongke's favor. In exchange, Mongke directly brought the Quanzhen Sect into the game, allowing the Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji to temporarily replace the Golden Wheel Monk in the ecological niche.

That should have been the position of the Flower Sect.

As expected of the foremost sage of the Quanzhen School!

Phagpa felt that the Quanzhen School of Taoism, which had existed during the time of Genghis Khan, was about to make a comeback.

The entire situation was completely disrupted by the arrival of the Golden Knife Prince Consort, and the situation was completely changed.

It was incredibly easy for him to outwit the Golden Boy with his intelligence!

Phagpa had originally considered trying to challenge the Golden Knife Prince Consort, but after thinking about it for half the night, he didn't dare.

Because his current body is only eight years old—if he fights head-on, he will only suffer losses.

Phagpa could not allow his position with Kublai Khan to become problematic again.

This could turn a small loss into a big loss.

Finally, Phagpa turned his attention to the person with whom he had a predestined connection—Yue Que, the golden boy of Buddhism.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies with the Golden Boy.
