Yin Zhiping from The Condor Heroes, Immortality Begins from The Condor Heroes

This measure is worthy of the title of the best in the world.

But the sudden appearance of a senior uncle really surprised them.

Yin Zhiping was indeed not surprised. When Zhou Botong mentioned that he had accepted a disciple, Yin Zhiping had already recalled this matter.

I also understand why Zhou Botong looked so sorry for Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

If you want to be picky, Zhou Botong is actually sorry for all the disciples of Quanzhen Sect who participated in the defense of Xiangyang.

"Old naughty boy, please explain clearly now. Stop being more fussy than us women."

Huang Rong continued to stimulate with words.

Zhou Botong couldn't stand this kind of provocation, so he made up his mind and told me everything: "My disciple is Yelü Qi, the son of Yelü Chucai, the Minister of State under the Mongol Khan. Now that Ogedei has died, his father has been marginalized by Empress Mazhen and has been the target of frequent assassination attempts. So he wants my help."

The more arrogant you are when you speak, the more empty you become as you continue speaking.

Zhou Botong didn't know what he was thinking when he accepted the son of a Mongolian minister as his disciple.

But he did not regret it. Although he looked a bit out of tune, he believed that he was a good judge of people. Yelu Qi was a good person with the demeanor of a gentleman.

His father, Yelu Chucai, was an even more talented man, and was highly regarded by Genghis Khan and Ogedei.

"Zhou Botong, are you stupid? We're at war with the Mongols, who are determined to destroy the Song Dynasty, and yet you're still accepting Mongols as your disciples? What's going on? Are you planning to lead the Quanzhen Sect to help the Mongols capture Xiangyang?"

Don’t mention it, Zhou Botong’s guess was really accurate. Once the truth came out, Huang Rong exploded and didn’t give him any face at all.

"I've already apologized to you, and I hadn't eaten for days. He not only gave me food but also took me out to play, so I accepted him as my apprentice."

"Huang Rong, don't worry. My disciple is not a bad person. He won't help the Mongols attack Xiangyang. Besides, his father is being ostracized and his life is almost in danger. How could he possibly help the Mongols? Don't you agree?"

Zhou Botong tried his best to explain that Huang Rong was quite scary when she got angry.

"Master uncle, you haven't told me how you want us to help you."

Li Zhichang was caught in a dilemma, fearing that his unreliable uncle would really lead the Quanzhen Sect to surrender to the Mongols for the sake of his young disciple.

If that were true, I might be disobeying my elders today.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Just help bring him and his sister back. His father doesn't need to worry about it."

In fact, Yelu Qi only recently contacted his master Zhou Botong, and he couldn't find him before.

After we got in touch, some unexpected events occurred.

Because Yelu Chucai was not favored by Empress Ma Zhen, she even regarded him as a thorn in her side.

It was only because Yelu Chucai was a close minister favored by both Genghis Khan and Ogedei, but he would not be used by her.

Not only did she demote him, but Empress Ma Zhen even planned to wipe out the entire clan.

If Queen Ma Zhen was not still unable to command those Xiantian realm masters and the secret power that belonged only to the Khan, Yelu Chucai would not have survived until now.

The Yelu family now relies only on Yelu Qi's ability to protect themselves, and they have reached the end of their rope.

Yelu Qi had no choice but to seek help from his master, who was a junior fellow of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and the only surviving predecessor today.

The Quanzhen Sect is the largest sect in the world, and it has the world's number one swordsman in charge.

As long as the Quanzhen Sect can lend a helping hand, the Yelu family will be safe.

But the price was to give up everything in the Mongol Empire.

In Yelu Qi's eyes, all these glories seem insignificant compared to the life and death of his family.

They were not Mongolians, but Liao people, and the Liao Dynasty had long since disappeared.

"What about Yelu Chucai? Aren't we going to bring him back as well?"

Guo Jing, who grew up in Mongolia, knew Yelu Chucai, who was a person favored by Genghis Khan and also made great contributions in Genghis Khan's first Western Expedition.

It can be said that the rise of the Mongol Empire was inseparable from the advice and suggestions of Yelu Chucai. Now that things have come to this, Guo Jing also has a desire to admire talents.

If we can help the Song Dynasty to win over such a capable person, perhaps the Song Dynasty can regain its former glory.

If Yin Zhiping knew what Guo Jing was thinking, he would only laugh at him for overestimating his own abilities.

In the eyes of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Guo Jing is at most a general defending the city. That is to say, he still needs you now, so he speaks to you nicely.

Given Yelu Chucai's identity, the fact that he didn't lose his life after coming to the Song Dynasty was a credit to Zhao Yun's kindness and to Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao's incompetence.

"My apprentice wrote in a letter that his father didn't want to leave. He was grateful for Genghis Khan's recognition and Ogedei's appreciation, and wanted to stay in Mongolia, but he supported the two of them leaving."

Zhou Botong took out Yelu Qi's letter as proof.

Huang Rong took the letter and began to read it.

"Although Yelu Chucai is foolishly loyal, he is not stupid. He even knows how to consider his children."

Chapter 375: Everyone Takes a Step Back, Everything Will Be Fine

As the strongest empire in the Central Plains and even in the world today, the death of the ruler of the Mongol Empire is bound to bring about a bloody storm.

Yin Zhiping didn't understand what had happened that caused Ogedei to die without appointing an heir, but instead gave a queen the opportunity to become regent.

But he also knew that it was a taboo for the harem to interfere in politics in any dynasty. There would definitely be a large number of people in the court and the country who claimed to be loyal and good generals who would oppose it. Yelu Chucai might be one of them, and the one with the highest status.

Therefore, he was not tolerated by Queen Ma Zhen.

"Brother Zhou, can you guarantee that after the Yelu Qi siblings arrive in the Central Plains, they won't act as internal support? If they join forces with the Mongols, the consequences will be disastrous."

Since it concerns his country and family, Guo Jing did not dare to act rashly. He had to know that the person coming was not a small character, but a disciple of the old naughty boy Zhou Botong.

Strictly speaking, Yelu Qi is of the same generation as Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others, and belongs to the second generation of disciples of Quanzhen Sect. Even his fellow disciples Yin Zhiping, Li Zhichang and Zhen Zhibing have to call him uncle.

If we bring the person back and keep him under strict supervision, we will not only be giving face to Zhou Botong, but also to the Quanzhen Sect.

If we don't keep him under supervision and give him the opportunity to easily contact these core members of the anti-Mongol struggle, once he has any ulterior motives, no one knows what the consequences will be.

It may even alienate the relationship between Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Yin Zhiping of Quanzhen Sect.

The matter is of great importance and Guo Jing cannot afford to be careless.

Yin Zhiping admires Guo Jing's caution and loyalty to the emperor and the country, but Yin Zhiping, who is familiar with the plot of the original novel, knows that Guo Jing's worries will not be founded.

Yelu Qi is indeed a true gentleman.

In the original novel, he was Guo Fu's future husband. He fought to the death with the entire Guo family while defending Xiangyang and died on the battlefield.

In short, Yin Zhiping did not refuse to bring Yelu Qi and his sister back, but it was only him who did not refuse. He had no control over what others thought.

"Oh, Guo Jing, don't worry. I, the old naughty boy, guarantee that it won't happen." Zhou Botong patted his chest and promised.

How could he not have considered these things?

If it hadn't been arranged, he wouldn't have asked.

"I've already said it, if Yelu Qi dares to cause trouble for you, you can punish him as you please. I have no objection, just pretend you don't see it."

After hearing Zhou Botong's assurance, no one spoke.

Even if Zhou Botong said so, if it really comes to this in the future, they are still Zhou Botong's disciples after all. Can they really take his life?

Even though Zhou Botong doesn't seem to care much about this disciple and hasn't contacted him for many years.

But if they really didn't care, why would they ask for their help on behalf of their disciples?

Even though he only asked Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang...

"Zhou Botong, what if Jing'er wants your disciple's life?"

Others didn't dare to speak, but the flying bat Ke Zhenwu dared to speak.

He either doesn't speak, or when he does, he only speaks things that others find inconvenient to say.

"Then...then I don't care."

Zhou Botong puffed out his chest and spoke loudly.

"Then you should write a written document as proof, and we will feel at ease."

Ke Zhen'e took three steps forward with great momentum, and his feet landed with a loud noise.

Qiu Chuji couldn't stand it anymore. This was not just his great-uncle master's own business. Ke Zhen'e was pressing forward step by step, which was clearly questioning the credibility of Quanzhen Sect.

"Ke Zhenwu, don't push your luck. You want a promise? My uncle-master has already given it to you. Do you still want a written agreement? Are you insulting my uncle-master?"

Qiu Chuji also has a stubborn temper. Except for his uncle Zhou Botong who can make him become a little lamb, he is a howling wolf in front of other people. He dares to pounce on them and bite them even if the Five Great Masters come.

Not to mention that he and Ke Zhenwu had a very good relationship, and it was common for them to eat and live together, so he had no scruples when talking to each other.

"Hmph! Old Niubizi, with national affairs at stake, we can never be too cautious. Xiangyang is the place Jing'er swore to defend with his life. Countless disciples of your Quanzhen sect are buried in Xiangyang. We cannot let their hard work be ruined because of one person."

Ke Zhen'e argued convincingly and directly confronted Qiu Chuji.

Seeing that the two old men were gradually becoming dissatisfied with just spitting and wanted to move on to using swords and sticks, Yin Zhiping quickly gave Li Zhichang a look. Now it was time for him, the future leader of Quanzhen Sect, to stand up and speak.

"Senior Ke, Master, please listen to what your disciple has to say."

Qiu Chuji put back the half-drawn sword, and Ke Zhen'e also put down the raised stick.

But the two of them still stared at each other, trying to defeat each other with their eyes.

"Senior Ke, we at Quanzhen Church will take him back, so Uncle Master can rest assured."

"After we bring him back, we will also send someone to guard him. Similarly, if Gang Leader Huang is worried, you can also arrange for someone to observe his behavior. If there is anything wrong, as long as there is solid evidence, the Quanzhen Sect will not protect him. How do you do it?"

After hearing Li Zhichang's assurance, Huang Rong and Guo Jing were somewhat tempted.

They also didn't want to offend Quanzhen Sect and Yin Zhiping because of this matter.

Although Zhou Botong is the most senior person in Quanzhen Sect, he does not hold any position in the sect. To be honest, as long as the younger disciples do not listen to him, they have no rights.

Zhou Botong was strolling around the Quanzhen Sect, and if there was no one to introduce him to others, perhaps no one would recognize him.

So these words had completely different effects when spoken by Li Zhichang and Zhou Botong.

"Once we bring him back, we'll place him in the Quanzhen Sect. He'll be right under our noses, so he won't be able to do anything."

Yin Zhiping also spoke up. He believed in Yelu Qi's character and said this to support Li Zhichang.

Li Zhichang is the future leader of Quanzhen Sect.

But now, when people in the martial arts world talk about Quanzhen Sect, they only know Yin Zhiping, but not Li Zhichang.

Not to mention the people in the martial arts world, even familiar people like Guo Jing and Huang Rong, when they encountered problems and needed help from Quanzhen Sect, the first person they thought of was Yin Zhiping.

Although Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang are like brothers and Li Zhichang doesn't mind, Yin Zhiping still wants to change this situation.

This was a sudden idea of ​​Yin Zhiping's, and he just wanted to use this incident as a starting point.

"Okay, I'll follow Brother Li's arrangements, but we will also send someone to investigate Yelu Chucai's situation."

Huang Rong felt more at ease after leaving the person in the Quanzhen Sect. There were so many people present, and they had walked more bridges than Yelu Qi had eaten salt. If he really had bad intentions, it would be impossible to hide from them.

And all this started when Yelu Chucai was ostracized by Empress Ma Zhen. Huang Rong didn't take this matter to heart at first, but now she wants to investigate whether it is a trick of torture by the Mongols.

"As it should be."

Li Zhichang had no objection. In terms of relationship, Yelu Qi was just an uncle whom he had not met yet, not Zhou Botong's great uncle. He was nothing and was not as close as Huang Rong and Guo Jing.

Li Zhichang also didn't want to have a falling out with Guo Jing and Huang Rong because of this matter.

Both sides have taken a step back and everything is fine.

Only Qiu Chuji and Ke Zhen'e were still arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in.

Chapter 376 Making a Plan

This dispute can be regarded as a microcosm of the current situation in the world.

Any friendship must be put aside in the face of the sect's interests.

Perhaps if the same thing did not involve Zhou Botong, the great-uncle of the Quanzhen master, Qiu Chuji and Li Zhichang would just stand by and watch, or even support Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Even if Yin Zhiping wanted to be fair, he had to get involved because Qiu Chuji was his master, and he was biased towards Quanzhen Sect and Zhou Botong.

Relationships also have closeness or distance. Between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and Qiu Chuji and the Quanzhen Sect, isn’t it obvious who is close and who is distant?

By the same token, defending the country is Guo Jing's ideal, and Guo Jing's ideal is Huang Rong's.

For Guo Jing's ideal, Huang Rong also chose Guo Jing instead of friends like Quanzhen Sect and Yin Zhiping.

Everyone understands each other and is tacitly aware of it.
