When the soldiers heard about the monks' meeting, they did not dare to delay and immediately went to report the news.
Du Qi was surprised when he heard the news.
Jie Xian was here.
Master Jie Xian was a legend in Tianzhu. Everyone in Buddhism regarded Master Jie Xian as their spiritual pillar. Many people regarded Master Jie Xian as their mentor and guide.
Even Xuanzang treated Master Jie Xian like a teacher.
Du Qi ordered, "Bring Jie Xian here."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers immediately went to pass on the order.
When the order reached Jie Xian's ears, Master Jie Xian's mind raced. If he went to meet Du Qi alone, then it would be impossible to assassinate Du Qi. He was an old man who did not have the strength to truss a chicken. Especially after the bumpy journey, he was exhausted.
If he rushed for a few more days, Master Jie Xian might not be able to hold on.
Master Jie Xian had an idea in the blink of an eye.
He immediately nodded and ordered everyone to wait. He staggered slowly toward Du Qi's location. When Master Jie Xian reached Du Qi's side, he saw Du Qi for the first time. When he saw Du Qi, his wrinkled face was filled with shock and astonishment.
Du Qi was very young.
Du Qi, on the other hand, was very dignified.
Master Jie Xian had lived for a long time in his life and had seen countless people. When he saw Du Qi, there were only four words in his mind: 'Celestial Bearing'. This was because Du Qi was currently dressed in a white robe, yet he exuded a dignified aura. Especially Du Qi's appearance, which was originally handsome and refined, was even more dignified. He gave people the feeling that he was a celestial being.
Even Master Jie Xian was full of praise.
Master Jie Xian came back to his senses and bowed. "Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Jie Xian."
Du Qi was sitting on the back of a horse.
When he saw Jie Xian, he nodded and said, "Venerable Jie Xian, why did you come all the way from Nalanda Temple?"
Master Jie Xian said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, I brought the monks of Nalanda Temple here to persuade Your Majesty to stop the war. Please, Your Majesty, give us this opportunity. If we can't win against His Majesty, we will turn around and leave. "
"If we can convince His Majesty wholeheartedly, then I ask His Majesty to stop."
"Previously, I had asked Xuanzang to go up north and ask him to persuade the emperor. However, he failed in the end. Xuanzang was unable to persuade the emperor. In fact, I know what Xuanzang is capable of. "
"Xuanzang was an eloquent person. His mind was extremely sharp, and he was an extremely powerful person. If you really want to persuade someone like him, he shouldn't be too bad. "
"Perhaps it was because of Xuanzang's own circumstances, or perhaps Xuanzang was in a difficult position, so Xuanzang did not succeed. No matter what, it's all in the past. "
Master Jie Xian said, "Now, more than thirty monks of Nalanda Temple are all here to persuade His Majesty to stop the war."
Du Qi smiled when he heard this.
Jie Xian was quite interesting. Especially when Jie Xian spoke, he looked extremely sincere.
It was very trustworthy.
This was the charm of Jie Xian, who had lived for more than a hundred years.
Du Qi didn't really believe it. Because of Xuanzang's incident, Jie Xian and the others should know very well that it was extremely difficult to persuade the emperor.
Jie Xian knew that it was impossible to persuade him, but he still came.
This was a case of hiding evil intentions.
Ill intentions.
If Jie Xian was just a Buddhist monk, Du Qi would be willing to believe him. However, the problem was that Tianzhu was full of caste systems. Jie Xian was a Brahmin. Under this premise, Du Qi was suspicious of Jie Xian's intentions. He was unwilling to believe him.
Du Qi had an idea and made a decision in the blink of an eye. He said with a smile, "Master Jie Xian, if I don't agree to the debate and your persuasion, what will you do?" "What will you do?"
Jie Xian smiled. His wrinkled old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum. It was a brilliant smile. However, in Du Qi's eyes, it was the most embarrassing smile.
Jie Xian said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of Xia Xia. Xia Xia and the Tang dynasty are of the same origin. They both came from the Eastern Land and are reasonable people. Now, the people of Nalanda Temple have not chosen to fight or any other option. They have chosen to have a debate to persuade His Majesty. Will His Majesty not agree to such a thing? Or does His Majesty not dare to agree to this humble monk's request? "
Du Qi looked at Jie Xian's expression, especially when he heard Jie Xian's provocation. He sneered in his heart.
Old fox!
The more Jie Xian acted like this, the more it proved that there was something fishy going on.
It was very suspicious.
Du Qi had doubts in his heart. However, his eyes showed that he was thinking about how to deal with it. In fact, the easiest way to deal with this matter was to refuse immediately and not meet Jie Xian at all. However, Du Qi had to evaluate the consequences of such a refusal and the benefits it would bring to Du Qi. It was very difficult.
After thinking for a while, Du Qi suddenly came up with a plan. He already had a strategy. Du Qi stared at Jie Xian and said, "Master Jie Xian, I agree to your debate."
Jie Xian's old face showed a smile again. He said, "Your Majesty is indeed wise."
At this moment, Jie Xian was relieved.
As long as Du Qi agreed to meet all the monks, the King of Mogita's arrangement would not be a problem. The strategy of assassinating Du Qi would still be effective. As for whether the assassination would succeed, it was not a problem for Jie Xian to consider. He only considered creating opportunities for his opponent.
That was enough!
While Jie Xian's old face was full of joy, Du Qi changed the topic. He said, "However, I will not meet all of you now. I will meet all of you later. Moreover, I will meet all of you and debate with you. It will not be here. When the meeting reaches the next town, it will be held in front of all the commoners. "
Whoosh!
Jie Xian's face changed when he heard this.
At this moment, Jie Xian's face was full of seriousness. There was no longer any trace of joy on his face. If the debate was held in the wilderness, even if there was an assassination attempt, it would be a victory if the assassination was successful. However, if the assassination failed, the news would spread that Du Qi had killed Jie Xian and the others. Du Qi would cause public anger and countless Buddhist monks would oppose him.
However, the debate would be held in the town.
Du Qi agreed to Jie Xian's request. However, Jie Xian and the others would assassinate Du Qi. That was equivalent to publicly attacking his own company. Jie Xian's reputation would be ruined by then.
This would affect Jie Xian's reputation.
Under such circumstances, all the arrangements made by the Mahatma Monarch would be ineffective.
Once the assassination attempt was made, it might backfire.
Countless people would oppose the allied forces of various countries. Countless people would hate the Brahmin and look down on Jie Xian. Because the people were watching, the news would spread by word of mouth.
Jie Xian took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, why do we have to delay this debate?"
Du Qi saw the change in Jie Xian's expression. He suddenly felt relieved. Jie Xian had brought people here and wanted to debate immediately. Moreover, the change in Jie Xian's expression just now made Du Qi even more suspicious. He felt that there was something wrong with Jie Xian's advice during the debate. Otherwise, Jie Xian would not have objected to Du Qi's arrangement and disagreed with holding the debate in the town.
Du Qi made a judgment in his heart. He said firmly, "Jie Xian, I am giving you a chance. If you are willing, then we will debate. If you are not, then it will be voided. "
At this moment, Jie Xian was in a difficult position.
Originally, they had come to meet Du Qi to give Du Qi a difficult problem. However, Du Qi had given him a difficult problem.
