Chapter 758

The monk identity was just a tool he utilized.

His true purpose was to take revenge for his family!

"Your Majesty, there are also Veda protectors before the Buddha; they are all noble monks who have walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood to slay demons and eliminate evil.

Today, Bianji is willing to serve as the Veda protector of the Maurya Empire!"

If it were any other rhetoric, it might not have convinced the Maurya King.

But the Maurya King devoutly believed in Buddhism and fell for Master Bianji's act.

Hearing Master Bianji speak this way, he was in a very pleasant mood.

"Since the State Preceptor is willing to serve as a Veda protector, then I support you. One hundred thousand troops and three thousand war elephants, all of them are handed over to you for command!" As he said this, he handed the scepter of command over the massive army to Master Bianji.

Pei Ji was a bit dumbfounded.

Was it really that casual?

He had thought that changing generals before a battle would require summoning all the high-ranking officers and holding a military meeting to discuss it. Who knew that the Maurya King would just tap his head and the matter would be settled.

Moreover, not a single officer below objected.

Their reaction was as if they were saying, anyone is fine, just hurry up and command me, I guarantee I'll be obedient.

Because of this, Pei Ji's heart began to drum.

Although they had the war elephant, the strongest land military branch, whether they could defeat Great Qin was really a big question mark!

"Master Bianji, with you in command, Great Tang is certainly relieved.

But you must also be careful yourself; the Great Qin people are very cunning and full of schemes."

Master Bianji had struggled for so long.

At this moment, finally having one hundred thousand troops in his grasp, he felt an indescribable sense of high spirits.

Hearing Pei Ji's reminder, he said confidently.

"I have witnessed Great Qin's schemes. When it comes to conspiracies and schemes, I have yet to see anyone who can outplay me!

On this expedition, I must take Yizhou and avenge the hundreds of heroic souls of my family who died!"

Master Bianji's family was a branch of the Boling Cui clan in Yizhou.

Hundreds of them, from top to bottom, were all slaughtered by Qin Mu in the bustling market.

Such a deep blood feud was burning in Master Bianji's heart every moment.

Pei Ji nodded.

He didn't want to say too much; at least for now, Master Bianji had more power than him.

May Master Bianji be able to fulfill his wish on this expedition.

Pei Ji took his leave of the Maurya King.

"Your Majesty, I should also return to Great Tang. We will be waiting for your good news in Jin Ling!"

Because Pei Ji had to return with two thousand war elephants and two thousand elephant handlers, he simply followed along with the massive army led by Master Bianji.

Together, they set off on the expedition to Yelang.
