Chapter 121 The Collaborator Mongke, Unwavering Even in the Face of Death
Mongke's expression was also not good. Seeing Wei Wu slaughtering everyone without a single opponent, his eyes twitched slightly. He turned to his own experts and asked, "If you join forces, how confident are you?"
"Perfect!"
The Indian's resolute answer drew surprised and annoyed looks from his companions—"Don't drag us into your bragging!"
Möngke was overjoyed and said, "Master, you have so much confidence?"
The Indian nodded heavily, his tone filled with intense confidence: "We'll go together, we'll die together, there's absolutely no other outcome!"
So it's 100%!
Möngke's smile vanished, and he looked at the Indian as if he had eaten shit. His chest heaved a few times, and then he gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Master, you can learn more Chinese when you have time."
The Indian man uttered a sound of confusion, looking at the others with a slightly bewildered expression. "Am I wrong?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Those who were looked at by him suppressed their laughter, and no one was willing to correct the mistake in his words, but their snickering made the Indian realize that he must have said something wrong.
Indians never hide their emotions; their anger was evident on their faces as they sneered, "You people are no good! When my nephew Nemo Xing arrives, he'll teach you a lesson!"
Upon hearing his words, the experts wore apologetic smiles, but upon exchanging glances, they immediately reached a consensus: let's send this unclean Indian to his death first!
Leaving aside the infighting here, Wei Wu wiped out those bald monks with almost no effort.
This group of people is probably just as they say; they were monks from other temples who fled to Shaolin. But Shaolin couldn't afford to support them, so they simply gave each of them a unique skill for protection and left them to fend for themselves.

Wei Wu let out a long breath. Kicking more than a dozen times wasn't much of an exercise, but at least he felt relieved.
What kind of class do you think you are? You dare to spread rumors about me!
Wei Wu stretched out his body and came to the Mongols and Tibetan monks. With a glance, the leaders of both sides naturally stepped forward.
Möngke, the Mongol leader, was the eldest son of Tolui and the adopted son of Ögedei, enjoying the title of prince. Ögedei was preparing to personally lead an expedition against the Jin dynasty, but he had gathered intelligence about the Jin's internal strife. Initially dismissive, he was later reminded by Guo Jing that Wei Wu (Ögedei) should not be underestimated, and Guo Jing even shared his own experience (being unknowingly poisoned) as proof.
Ögedei was shocked by Wei Wu's strange methods and also wanted to recruit him to his own side to balance the two, Tolui and Guo Jing. So he sent his adopted son Möngke.
The Tibetan monk, holding the prayer flag, remained motionless. He then extended his intact right hand and placed it above his chest, bowing respectfully. In a steady voice, he said, "This old monk, from the Great Snow Mountain Great Wheel Monastery, the Great Golden Nyingma Protector, greets Mr. Wei."
When Wei Wu saw the Tibetan monk's martial arts skills, he guessed that he had some connection with the Great Wheel King Kumārajīva. Now that he heard about his background, it was not surprising.
He glanced at the two of them, a faint smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his tone wasn't very polite as he said, "What brings you two here to see me?"
Mongke felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
He originally intended to coerce and entice Wanyan Xun's staunch supporters to defect to the Mongols. However, when he arrived at Wanyan Xun's residence, he found the house full of dead people and the words "Killer Wei Wu" written in blood on the wall. He immediately decided to set fire to the city, causing chaos in Bianjing. He thought that this would help Wei Wu and allow him to build some goodwill.
Having witnessed Wei Wu's martial prowess, Möngke realized he had overstepped his bounds and dared not reveal his arson. Instead, he spoke sincerely, saying, "Mr. Wei Wu, my father, Ögedei Khan, has heard of your deeds in the Jin Kingdom and holds you in the highest esteem. Uncle Guo Jing even praised you as an eagle soaring over the grasslands, unapproachable, and your strength as unfathomable as a canyon. Therefore, my father has sent me to invite you to Mongolia to meet him."
Although Ögedei's demand was to recruit surrendered, Möngke was not a brainless idiot who had been raised by his placenta. With the strength of Cao Cao, how could a prince like himself possibly recruit him?
I absolutely cannot afford the conditions that could impress the other party, and to mention them would be to be disrespectful to Wei Wu. It would be better to invite them to Mongolia and let them negotiate among themselves.
Wei Wu ignored all the intricacies and simply asked, "Has Guo Jing already arrived at the grasslands?"
"Yes, Uncle Guo is currently accompanying Father Khan and the Regent to escape the summer heat at Jiushijiuquan."
The regent was naturally Tolui.
Wei Wu narrowed his eyes, then quickly opened them again, his smile becoming more sincere. "Guo Jing's return to Mongolia this time is truly like a dragon emerging from its abyss; he's bound to soar to great heights, isn't he?"
Mongke nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration when he mentioned Guo Jing.
Although Guo Jing died young, Genghis Khan entrusted his nine thousand households and three ten-thousand-man units to Tolui without reservation. Therefore, Tolui was the most powerful of Genghis Khan's sons.
Even though Genghis Khan still allowed Ögedei to succeed him as Khan before his death, Tolui also inherited the Great Ordo and became the regent of Mongolia, with even greater power than Ögedei!
If it weren't for Yelü Chucai's persuasion, it's uncertain whether Ögedei could have succeeded to the throne. This is why he insisted on adopting Möngke, Tolui's eldest son, as his adopted son, to express his affection for Ögedei.
In addition, Ögedei Khan suffered a setback in his attack on the Jin Dynasty last year. Although he has now captured Fengxiang to save face, the combination of Guo Jing and Tolui in Jiushijiuquan still makes him uneasy. That is why he is so eager to recruit Wei Wu.
Cao Cao did not refuse to fight the Mongols. The most troublesome thing about dealing with the Mongols was not the outcome of the battle, but finding their stronghold.
Now that someone has taken the initiative to invite him, he'd love to have someone act as his guide, so how could he possibly refuse?
Therefore, he said with a smile, "I have never been to the grasslands before, and now that I have the opportunity, of course I must go."
But before that, I have some things to do.
"Mr. Wei, please go ahead and do it. Although we are not very knowledgeable, we can still help you out." When Mongke heard that Wei Wu was willing to go to Jiushijiuquan to see Ögedei, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and every pore revealed his heartfelt joy.
The experts behind him also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Wu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, no need for that."
He looked at the Tibetan monk Nyingma and said, "Are you here to stop me on behalf of the Golden Dog Emperor?"
Ningma shook his head, then nodded. His disciples stepped aside, leaving him alone before Wei Wu. He swayed the sutra pillar in his hand, his voice carrying a hint of age and vicissitude: "This old monk did not come on behalf of Wanyan Xun."
"This old monk knows he is no match for you, benefactor, but I have received the Emperor's favor for generations; how can I flee in haste at this time?"
"Therefore, this old monk humbly requests your guidance, benefactor!"
Even if it means death?
Even if I die, I will have no regrets!
