She Shengjia said in a low voice, "If we don't inform them, they might not go. Especially Venerable Jie Xian, he might not go. "
Tero Jishe II said, "I think we should inform Venerable Jie Xian. This is the only way to ensure that the plan is foolproof. The reason is simple. Venerable Jie Xian is a Brahmin, and so are the other Brahmin monks. Under this premise, for the sake of their own power, it is impossible for them not to participate. "
She Shengjia said, "King Tero Jishe's words make sense. However, you forgot one thing. The more people who know, the easier it is to expose flaws. If no one knows, it will be easier to ensure that the news does not leak. King Tero Jishe should understand this point. "
Tero Jishe II frowned slightly when he heard this.
She Shengjia's words made sense.
Under the current circumstances, if they were informed, there would be too many people talking. Moreover, this was an assassination plan, so it was easy for the news to leak. On the other hand, if fewer people were informed, it would not be easy for the news to leak.
Tero Jishe II said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then let's not inform them."
She Shengjia looked around at everyone and said, "What do you all think?"
King Maghita said, "I have an idea, a compromise."
"What kind of compromise?" Shishangjia asked.
Tero Jishe II's face was also filled with anticipation. Because it involved dealing with Du Qi, he also hoped to win.
King Maghita said, "For this assassination, we will not inform everyone. We will only inform Venerable Jie Xian. He is old and steady, and has seen countless people. There will be no problem with his arrangement. When the time comes, with Venerable Jie Xian's help, it will definitely succeed. We will only inform one person, and the news will not leak. "
She Shengjia's eyes lit up and said, "I agree!"
Tero Jishe II nodded and said, "I agree too."
The others nodded in agreement.
Everyone had the same opinion and agreed to the current arrangement.
The Kingdom of Magadha said, "Since no one has any objections, then inform Sorcerer Jie Xian and I will arrange it immediately. At present, Du Qi was only heading south. There was still a long time before he would kill his way to Magadha. So now, we have plenty of time. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, if Du Qi went south from the north, the various countries and races along the way would resist him.
Block after block.
Therefore, it would take some time for Du Qi to go south.
Once the plans were agreed upon, they began to carry them out. The messenger of the Magadha Overlord returned to Nalanda Temple in the shortest time possible and delivered the letter to Venerable Jie Xian. When Jie Xian finished reading the contents of the letter, his expression changed. This was because he needed to lead the assassination personally. This meant that if he went there, he would definitely die.
There was no way he could survive.
The reason was simple. The assassination was a success. Under the wrath of Xia Xia's men, there was no way he could escape. And if the assassination failed, Du Qi would not spare him in his fury.
Therefore, there was no way he could return.
However, Venerable Jie Xian could not refuse.
The reason was simple. This battle involved the life and death of the entire Brahmin and Kshatriya. If Du Qi was killed, Du Qi would not be able to go south, and the Brahmin and Kshatriya would be saved. This meant that Venerable Jie Xian was shouldering the life and death of the entire race this time.
Venerable Jie Xian sat there. His wrinkled face was filled with thoughts and hesitation.
There was great terror between life and death.
Even though Venerable Jie Xian was a monk, he could not understand life and death even though he understood Buddhism. Knowing that he would die, he could not go without hesitation. He was hesitating.
At this moment, a series of footsteps were heard.
It was a monk from the temple. He bowed to Venerable Jie Xian and said, "Abbot, another monk came to bid farewell. This time, a total of 18 people came to bid farewell. After bidding farewell, they all went south to the Chalukya Dynasty. "
"Sigh …"
Venerable Jie Xian sighed.
He waved his hand and the monk left.
Nalanda Temple had changed a lot compared to the west. Many monks had left. It was not because there was a problem with Buddhism in Nalanda Temple, but because the flames of war were about to spread to Nalanda Temple. Therefore, one monk after another left. During this period of time, more than two hundred monks had left.
Especially in recent days, the number of monks had increased day by day. This had never happened since the establishment of Nalanda Temple. The reason was the arrival of Du Qi.
Because of the abolition of the caste system.
In fact, most of the monks in Nalanda Temple were Brahmin. Some of them were Kshatriya. Most of them were of noble status and only needed to study Buddhism. However, with the abolition of the caste system, the changes in Jieri State had affected Nalanda Temple even though the Kingdom of Magadha and Nalanda Temple had not been affected.
After Venerable Jie Xian sighed, his expression gradually became firm. At this point, Venerable Jie Xian had no choice. If he did not go, the abolition of the caste system would destroy Nalanda Temple.
Venerable Jie Xian could only step forward bravely.
It had nothing to do with Buddhism or right or wrong. It was just a matter of position.
After Venerable Jie Xian made his decision, he no longer hesitated. He immediately called the main members of the temple and told them that he was going north to persuade Du Qi to stop the war. After Venerable Jie Xian finished speaking, he said slowly, "This trip to persuade Emperor Du Qi of Xia Xia may lead to a massacre. Therefore, those of you who are willing to go with me, please come out. Those who are unwilling to go, stay in the temple. "
"We are willing to go!"
All the monks answered in unison.
All the monks had fearless expressions on their faces because they had no other choice at this point. If they only cared about their own interests, there would be nothing left in the end.
They had to go.
Venerable Jie Xian nodded and said, "Get ready. We will set off immediately."
"Yes!"
All the monks immediately went to make the arrangements.
About an hour later, Venerable Jie Xian had led the group of monks to the north. This time, there were more than 30 people who followed Venerable Jie Xian to the north. They were all eminent monks of great virtue, but there were also middle-aged men. This was because Venerable Jie Xian had to arrange for the King of Magadha's men to bring in the assassins arranged by him. When Venerable Jie Xian left the temple, the assassins took the initiative to enter.
Venerable Jie Xian did not say anything. He only needed to meet the assassins and create an opportunity for them.
He couldn't care less about the rest. After all, he was an old man now. It was already good enough that he could stabilize the foundation of the caste system with his meager strength. At least he had done his best.
Venerable Jie Xian led more than 30 people to the north.
The journey to the north was actually a little cramped.
Jie Xian was already quite old. Even though he was quite fit at his age, the long journey was too much for his body to handle.
When they reached the border of Magadha, Venerable Jie Xian stopped for a while. Along the way, the King of Magadha came to visit. Then, Venerable Jie Xian continued to the north.
At this time, Du Qi's army had not reached the north of Magadha.
After all, Du Qi would have to fight along the way to the south.
There were Brahmin and Kshatriya tribes in various places. Hence, the journey to the south was slightly slower. In fact, Du Qi had already decided to lead the army to the south. They were going to attack the allied forces directly.
Even though they were going south, the army's progress was slightly slower due to the obstacles in various places.
When Du Qi's army was a hundred miles away from the border of Magadha, Venerable Jie Xian had already led his men to approach Du Qi's army. He led the monks to stop them and requested to meet Du Qi.
