Chapter 915

Ogedei and Muqali were intrigued upon hearing this.

What were all the forces in the world, even imperial dynasties like the Great Song and Great Ming that had submitted to the Qinglong Society, doing?

Wasn't this incredibly interesting?

"A mission!"

Yelü Yelu Chucai had actually just received the intelligence and was preparing to report it, so he said directly,

"It is said to be an extremely special mission."

"What mission?"

Ogedei asked again.

"That is temporarily unknown."

Yelü Yelu Chucai felt speechless.

This mission was the most core secret of all major forces.

Unless his spies had infiltrated the decision-making levels of all major forces, how could he know?

But if spies became decision-makers, would they continue to be spies?

"Damn it!"

Ogedei couldn't help but feel dejected.

Chagatai, who he thought was surely dead, had suddenly become the Great Tang's Yuan King.

The impact on the Great Yuan and on himself could be said to be large or small.

To put it broadly, it naturally weakened his legitimate status.

To put it narrowly, it was just Chagatai's personal act of betrayal and defection.

But there was no guarantee that Chagatai's old subordinates wouldn't harbor second thoughts and stir up trouble in secret.

But Muqali was indeed right; there must be another reason behind this.

It was very likely related to the intelligence Yelü Yelu Chucai mentioned.

Yet the spies hadn't investigated it clearly, and currently, the Great Yuan was almost blind.

"Grand Preceptor, you must immediately set to work and send people to investigate clearly what the mission is."

After thinking for a long time, Ogedei first spoke about the mission.

"This old official has already arranged it, hoping to find out as soon as possible!"

Before Yelü Yelu Chucai came, he had already ordered his subordinates to investigate.

"The second thing, send people to the Great Tang to find Chagatai and try to persuade him to return.

If he is willing to return, I can title him a Khan!"

Ogedei spoke of the second thing.

This Khan was naturally not the Great Khan of the Great Yuan, but just a small Khan.

It couldn't compare to Ogedei's position, but it was generous enough.

But everyone present understood that this small Khan was just a gimmick.

With Chagatai's character, he naturally wouldn't believe Ogedei's fake reward.

The reason he did this was nothing more than to make the people of the Great Yuan feel that Chagatai himself was unwilling to return, not even willing to accept the title of a small Khan.

He was determined to sell out his country for glory!

As long as this charge was confirmed, Chagatai's confidants would naturally be reduced by more than half.

"Great Khan is wise."

Yelü Yelu Chucai immediately flattered him.

"Report to the Great Khan, Jebe has brought the rebel general General Chilaowen and is requesting an audience outside."

Just as the three of them had finished discussing and were preparing to act separately,

a young eunuch suddenly spoke at the door of the Imperial Study.

General Chilaowen?

Was this the General Chilaowen, one of the Thirteen Wings, the Kheshig general who had privately fallen in love with the former imperial concubine Temulun and left due to a misunderstanding?

The three of them were all shocked.

The fastest to react was actually the King of Lu, Muqali.

He was, after all, a veteran general and had once been ranked as one of the Four Heroes alongside General Chilaowen.

Therefore, his private friendship with General Chilaowen was extremely good.

Hearing that General Chilaowen had returned, although he knew it was somewhat bad, he still spoke first,

"Great Khan, General Chilaowen's return this time must mean he understands that everything before was just a misunderstanding.

We must punish him lightly and warn him, but we must not make him harbor thoughts of leaving again!"

General Chilaowen's defection and departure had also been related to Yelü Yelu Chucai.

Now that the person was gone and the former Great Khan Temujin had long since passed away,

Yelü Yelu Chucai didn't want the declining Great Yuan to force this general, who had finally returned, into rebellion again, so he took the blame upon himself,

"Great Khan, the King of Lu is right.

Besides, it was this old official who expressed himself unclearly, leading to General Chilaowen's misunderstanding.

If there is to be punishment, it should be this old official who is punished."

Two major civil and military officials, plus the fact that what General Chilaowen was thinking of was the former Great Khan's concubine.

Although Temulun was the most beautiful in the Great Yuan, Ogedei had long admired her name.

After ascending the throne, he had also met her privately.

According to the old customs of the Great Yuan, he had almost taken Temulun as his own concubine.

But in the end, state affairs were not settled, and his position was not yet secure.

So it had dragged on until today, and he still hadn't taken Temulun.

Now that General Chilaowen had returned and these two major officials were persuading him,

Ogedei sighed inwardly, the cooked duck had flown away.

Then, with a serious face, he said,

"The matter from before was all a misunderstanding.

It has nothing to do with the Grand Preceptor, nothing to do with the King of Lu, and even less to do with General Chilaowen.

Immediately announce Jebe and General Chilaowen for an audience."

Yelü Yelu Chucai and Muqali finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Yuan had suffered consecutive defeats, and the upper echelons had been purged.

This was the time to endure humiliation and rebuild their strength.

Fortunately, the current Great Khan could listen to advice!

Amidst these emotions, Jebe and General Chilaowen had already entered the Imperial Study.

Jebe only needed to perform the rites of a subject.

General Chilaowen, however, entered with tears in his eyes and knelt down with a thud.

Then he performed the grand kowtow and said with a sobbing voice,

"Sinful official General Chilaowen, having heard of the change in the Imperial City, has come specifically to mourn Genghis Khan.

For all my sins, I no longer fear.

I only hope to be punished before Genghis Khan's spirit."

Genghis Khan was Temujin's title.

Since Temujin's passing, no one in the Great Yuan had used this title.

Now General Chilaowen had suddenly said this in front of Ogedei.

It made everyone present feel both moved and uneasy.

Ogedei had originally been full of smiles, but now they froze on his face.

Well!

I was prepared to raise the issue high and lower it gently, forgiving your crime of seducing the imperial concubine and defecting from the Great Yuan.

You, this fellow, are not sensible at all, bringing up the one thing that shouldn't be mentioned! ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
