Chapter 345: Cut it off?

Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are all from the bottom of our hearts. There is no need to ask for rewards. But if the prince is willing to reward us, it would be the best. In the future, we Quanzhen will be more loyal to the emperor and patriotic and do more for the court."

Kublai Khan laughed, thinking that this Taoist's rhetoric was extremely sharp and his martial arts skills were very high. When he saw him, he felt that he was a handsome man with a handsome face, long eyebrows and handsome eyes. He couldn't help but like him. He thought that if he could recruit this man and support him to take charge of Quanzhen Sect, then Quanzhen Sect would not only stop causing trouble, but would also become a helper to Mongolia.

Thinking of this, Kublai Khan said: "Master Yin, the Zhao Song Dynasty is unjust, the emperor is incompetent and the people are in trouble, treacherous officials are in power, and loyal people are wronged. What I said is not wrong, right?"

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "Yes, Emperor Chunyou was a ruthless and incompetent ruler, and Prime Minister Jia Sidao was a great traitor. My disciple Yang Guo often told me that the Quanzhen Sect fought against Mongolia not for the sake of the Song Dynasty, but for the sake of the millions of people in the Central Plains."

Everyone was stunned. They never expected that he would openly and bluntly criticize the emperor and his ministers.

Kublai Khan said: "Yes, Master Yin is a great hero of the time, but why would he work for a tyrant and treacherous minister?"

Yin Zhiping said in a clear voice: "Even if I am not a good person, how can I be used by a tyrant and treacherous minister? I am just angry at the brutality of the Mongols, who invaded my territory and killed my compatriots. Although I usually study the Taoist scriptures, I am also full of passion and want to shed it for the millions of people in my country.

My disciple said that Taoists should retreat in prosperous times and emerge in troubled times. The Mongols are poisoning the Central Plains. It is the time for us Quanzhen Taoists to take up our swords and save the people!"

Kublai Khan slapped his hand on the table and said, "That's well said. Let's all toast to Master Yin with a bowl of mare's milk." Then he raised the bowl and drank the mare's milk in one gulp.

Kublai Khan said: "An old scholar in your country once said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important. This is really reasonable. If you want the world, it belongs to everyone in the world, and only those with virtue can live in it.

The government of our Great Mongol Empire is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Our Great Khan could not bear to see the people of the Southern Dynasty in dire straits, with no one to save them, so he punished the people and led his army to the south, without fear of hardship.

This sentiment is exactly the same as Master Yin's, and it can be said that great minds think alike. Come, let's have another bowl." He raised the bowl and drank it all.

Yin Zhiping laughed and said, "Your Highness, I am not one of those corrupt scholars. I am a monk. Monks do not value the so-called dynasty and generation, but only focus on the essence.

You said "people are the most important", which is absolutely true. Since your Mongolian army invaded Song Dynasty, you have been cruel to the people, leaving bones everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

The people of our Great Song Dynasty have lost their homes and families, and countless lives have been lost at the hands of your Mongolian soldiers. How can you talk about punishing the criminals and saving the people from suffering?

My disciple Yang Guo said that the Mongolian Tartars are barbarians, yet they dare to covet the treasures of China. If you give them ten years, you Mongolians will go to the desert to herd cattle and sheep. If you don’t leave, even your corpses will be left in the Central Plains. "

Yin Zhiping's words immediately caused the accompanying foreign monks' faces to change color. They all stood up, ready to step forward and attack Kublai Khan as soon as possible.

Kublai Khan laughed loudly and said, "Master Yin is truly a hero, not even a bit inferior to my uncle Guo Jing. The Han people are indeed full of talented people. I admire you!"

Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "If you had seen my disciple Yang Guo, you would have truly seen the elegance of the people in the Central Plains. You have only seen me, but you have only seen one-third of the elegance of the people in the Central Plains."

Kublai Khan was fascinated when he heard Yin Zhiping's words, and said, "Master Yin, you are such a great man, but you always mention your disciple Yang Guo.

Yang Guo slaughtered all the talented people under my command, so I think his martial arts must be superb.

Being able to be in charge of a large sect at the age of 20, his ability must be one in a million.

I heard about your attitude when you said he was a man of unparalleled character. He is indeed a man of unparalleled demeanor. This king really wants to meet him."

Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "Of course there is a chance, but my disciple Yang Guo said that our Southern Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population. We value integrity and have many talented people. Since ancient times, we have never bowed to foreign races. Even if Mongolia is victorious on the battlefield for a while, it will be driven back to the northern desert in the future, and it will inevitably suffer a great loss of vitality, and it will be too late to regret.

I would like to advise His Majesty to retreat immediately and take your people back to Mobei, so as to avoid a miserable end. "

As soon as Yin Zhiping said this, all the foreign monks behind him shouted, "How dare you! How arrogant!" Although they spoke in Chinese, the tone was quite strange.

Kublai Khan, however, remained calm and even smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mingjiao."

When Guo Jing heard Yin Zhiping's debate with Kublai Khan, he was very impressed and thought that Brother Yin was still as eloquent and eloquent as he was in his youth.

However, what is admirable is my nephew Yang Guo, what he said is really insightful.

When I faced this situation, although I was also determined to resist the Mongols, I was also hesitant in my heart. I was not as confident as my nephew Yang Guo.

At this time, Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, this matter is over. We will meet again later."

Kublai Khan cupped his hands and said, "See you out."

The foreign monks looked at each other in astonishment, and all looked at Kublai Khan, thinking: "It's so hard to get the fish into the net, how can we let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

But Kublai Khan politely escorted Guo Jing and Yin Zhiping out of the tent, so everyone was reluctant to take action.

Yin Zhiping and Guo Jing strode out of the tent. They looked at each other and thought, "This Kublai Khan is very capable. He is indeed a formidable foe."

Suddenly, eight Mongolian warriors rushed out from the side. The first one said, "Are you Guo Jing? You injured many of my brothers on the top of Xiangyang City Wall, and today you came to my Mongolian military camp to show off your power. The prince will let you go, but we will not let you go."

With a shout, eight big men rushed forward at the same time, each using Mongolian wrestling techniques, and sixteen hands grabbed Guo Jing.

It turned out that Kublai Khan was unwilling to personally order the capture of Guo Jing as this would hurt the friendship between them, but he had soldiers lying in ambush outside the tent and would capture Guo Jing only after saying goodbye to him.

Yin Zhiping thought to himself, it’s not that simple.

But Guo Jing was fighting with the eight men, while Yin Zhiping became frightened and suddenly rushed into the tent and stabbed Kublai Khan with a sword.

Kublai Khan originally saw Yin Zhiping and Guo Jing leaving the tent, and thought he wanted to go out and see what the fun was like. He went to Uncle Guo's unrivaled wrestling show, so he might as well see what it was like.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood up and walked out, before the foreign monk behind him could catch up, he saw Yin Zhiping suddenly fly in and stab at him with a sword. He was immediately terrified.

The foreign monks behind were even more terrified and rushed towards Yin Zhiping one after another, but there was no way they could catch up with him!
Yin Zhiping pierced Kublai Khan's chest with a sword, dodged the copper pull thrown by the foreign monk, drew his sword, and cut off Kublai Khan's head.

He was stunned by the cut: "Guo'er likes to cut off people's heads, why did I cut one off too?"
