"Dead?" In the pavilion surrounded by flowers, Long Xiu, the head of Xiaoyao Palace, was surprised when he received the news.
The disciple Yi Shu who sent the news said with a happy face: "It's a good death, that thief finally got his comeuppance!"
Whenever she thought of someone's touch, she felt so ashamed and angry that her teeth itched with hatred.
Long Xiuzhi knew that she had always looked down on Niu Youdao and was used to it. That was not what he cared about now. He looked at the news again and frowned: "Don't you know how you died?"
Yi Shu: "I don't know, I'm still inquiring below. The current news is also coming from Zijin Cave. Piaomiao Pavilion has sent people to Zijin Cave, and ordered Zijin Cave to recommend candidates for the Holy Land. In this way,
Niu Youdao's death should be confirmed, after all, no one dares to talk nonsense about Piaomiao Pavilion."
Wandering! Long Xiu walked back and forth for a while, then stopped suddenly, "Niu Youdao's death was so sudden, his forces may be in panic, and Nanzhou must also be caught off guard. It is a good time for Xiaoyao Palace to intervene in the relevant parties, regardless of
Whether it can happen or not, don’t miss it!”
"Go quickly and ask all the elders to go to the meeting hall to discuss matters."
…
In the Beizhou Governor's Mansion, Shao Dengyun, who was sitting behind the case, was stunned for a long time while holding a piece of intelligence. Finally, he took a breath and sighed, "Dead!"
Butler Yang Shuang also sighed: "Yes, he is the prince's backer. His death will probably have a huge impact on the prince's side."
The information was put on the table, and Shao Dengyun said silently: "The influence on the prince is inevitable. What I am most worried about now is the Tianyu Gate here in Beizhou. If Niu Youdao dies, the prince may not be able to suppress Tianyu.
Door, with so many brothers down here, I’m afraid I’m going to be in a difficult situation.”
Yang Shuang hesitated and said: "After all, the prince is the grandson-in-law of the head of Peng. I saw before that the relationship has been repaired, hasn't it? How can you not miss any affection at all?"
Shao Dengyun shook his head: "I am afraid that Master Peng will have no choice but to do it himself. Once Niu Youdao dies, will the people in Zijin Cave rush to intervene in Beizhou? Will Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain take the opportunity to reach out? Without Niu Youdao, he will
Zijin Cave is holding on, can Peng Zai withstand these pressures? The only hope now is that the prince has strong troops and horses, which can be used as some bargaining chips. I wonder if the prince can stabilize the situation!"
Having said that, it is indeed true. Yang Shuang's face gradually became serious. Once the situation changes and the storm comes, Nanzhou and Beizhou are far apart and it is difficult to support them in time. The Shao people may be forced to make a choice. This choice is unknown.
How many lives and deaths will be involved?
…
In the capital of the Song Dynasty, inside the palace, Emperor Wu Gongling of the Song Dynasty had a smile on his lips after receiving the news of Niu Youdao's death, which eventually turned into a "haha".
It can be said to be a relief, otherwise he would always be a little scared.
He has always been deeply afraid of Meng Shanming and those people, and those people are in Niu Youdao's hands, so he is quite afraid of Niu Youdao.
It's nothing to be afraid of. We are all competing in the world, so there is no need for Niu Youdao to get into trouble with him for no reason.
But the problem lies with the queen he divorced. Niu Youdao took great care of Hui Qingping and wanted to save Hui Qingping at all costs. He was really afraid that Hui Qingping would use Niu Youdao's power to retaliate against him.
.You can imagine how much that woman hates him.
Now that Niu Youdao is dead, Niu Youdao's power cannot protect itself. And without Niu Youdao, Hui Qingping can't provoke Niu Youdao's power to do anything to him again. What can Hui Qingping do?
Without him, there is no chance to even get close to him.
At this moment, it can be said that a big problem has been eliminated, and I am very happy. I loudly say that the beautiful concubine has come to celebrate...
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zi Pingxiu and Jia Wuqun sat in meditation facing each other.
After a moment of silence, Jia Wuqun wrote down a line of words and turned the board around to show it to the other side: What a pity to die!
…
In the capital of the Yan Kingdom, in the Da Sikong Mansion, under the silent eaves, Gao Jiancheng looked at the moonlight with his hands behind his hands. After a long time, he sighed, "You're going to die like this?"
The butler Fan Zhuan, who was silent next to him, also spoke up, with a worried look on his face, and whispered: "Now that Niu Youdao is dead, the eldest son is still in the hands of those people."
Gao Jiancheng said slowly: "There will not be any problem with Shaoming's safety. No matter whether Niu Youdao is dead or alive, those people under him will not kill Shaoming. There is no benefit in doing so. They are now being given to Zijin Cave
After being expelled, it’s hard to predict where they will go. I’m afraid these people will jump over the wall and use Shaoming to do something. Once Shaoming is revealed, once the court knows about it, the whole government will be in danger!"
Fan Zhuan: “What should we do now?”
Gao Jiancheng: "Don't act rashly first. Send people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of those people and see the situation before making a decision."
"Okay, I will make arrangements now." Fan Zhuan agreed and left quickly.
"Alas!" Gao Jiancheng, who was bathing alone in the night, suddenly sighed again and murmured to himself, "If this man dies, I'm afraid it will affect the situation of the entire Yan Kingdom."
…
Guangzhou, formerly a territory of the Zhao Kingdom, was considered as Xiaoyue Pavilion's invitation to Yan Kingdom to send troops after the Yan-Zhao War. Now it has been placed under the territory of the Yan Kingdom and belongs to Zijindong's sphere of influence. It was kicked out by Niu Youdao.
The Great Zen Mountain in Nanzhou is in charge.
"Dead? Niu Youdao is dead?" Huang Lie outside the sect's meeting hall burst into laughter when he saw the news.
After laughing, he noticed that the elder Feng Entai standing nearby seemed a little silent. Huang Lie asked with a smile: "What, junior brother, are you regretting that you can become a sworn brother at this advantage?"
Feng Entai smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "No matter whether the initial sworn vows were true or false, I have to admit that Niu Youdao is still a good person. He can still be affectionate and righteous in the entanglement of interests and grudges. This kind of person is rare.
"
In the past, I didn't dare to speak for Niu Youdao like this, but now that Niu Youdao is dead, there is no harm in speaking out what is in my heart.
Huang Lie nodded, "I, Da Chanshan, was kicked by him from Beizhou to Nanzhou, and then thrown to Guangzhou by him, but I was always helpless with him. I have to admit that this Niu Youdao is indeed somewhat capable. He is dead.
It’s a pity, but it’s a good thing for me, Dazen Mountain.”
"If he is here, he will always use Nanzhou and Jinzhou to control Guangzhou. In addition, his identity as the elder of Zijindong will prevent me from Dachan Mountain from going against his will. But now that he is dead, which of the three major sects will Nanzhou belong to?"
It can be seen that there is probably going to be a struggle between the three major factions of the Yan State. Without Niu Youdao in the middle to suppress all parties, and the competition among the upper levels of Zijindong, it is a question whether the alliance between Nanzhou and Jinzhou can continue.
"
"Under the current situation, as long as my attitude in Dachan Mountain is more ambiguous, the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom will have to show their goodwill to me in Dachan Mountain, and the pressures that some have and don't have will disappear. In the future, my life in Dachan Mountain will be better."
It feels much better, I don’t have to look at other people’s faces like a little daughter-in-law anymore.”
"Inform the spies in Jinzhou and Nanzhou to pay more attention to the two states and report any changes immediately. Both states are under the influence of the Niu Youdao faction. Now that Niu Youdao is dead, we are facing the intervention of the three major factions.
, we may have an opportunity to take advantage of the pressure and profit."
"Family, please be careful. I'm going to the Zijin Cave to see if the elders in the Zijin Cave have any ideas that we can use."
…
In the governor's house of Jinzhou, Hai Ruyue was stunned at the dinner table, her chopsticks froze in her hands, and she said in surprise: "Dead? How could such a capable person die like this?"
Li Wuhua sighed: "So what if you are capable? If you go to the Holy Land, what does it matter in the Holy Land? Killing him is just like squeezing an ant to death."
Hai Ruyue frowned: "Our Jinzhou, Nanzhou of Shang Dynasty Sect, Guangzhou of Dachan Mountain, and Beizhou of Tianyumen are all Niu Youdao's forces. Now that he is dead, Zijindong is afraid that he will take advantage of the situation to intervene.
, those elders may want to carve it up. Maybe Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain will also take the opportunity to intervene, and the situation will be a bit troublesome."
Li Wuhua: "Who says it's not the case? I just learned the news. Because of worries about this, the head of the sect has rushed to Nanzhou to visit the people in Nanzhou to see what their attitude is."
"Dead..." Hai Ruyue sighed.
Li Wuhua also shook his head helplessly.
From a stability perspective, they hope to maintain the status quo and do not want to face unbearable changes.
From an emotional point of view, Niu Youdao saved Hai Ruyue and their son. The relationship between the two parties is good, and I still hope to be on Niu Youdao's side.
But Niu Youdao is already dead, and I'm afraid it won't work if I don't face the possible changes in the situation.
…
In a private school in a rural mountain village, a white-faced gentleman was shaking his head and teaching a group of children to read aloud.
Mr. White Face is none other than Hai Wuji, the former Emperor of Zhao State. Now he has shaved off his beard and changed his appearance, as if he has become a different person.
The gentleman originally had a person who was similar to Hai Wuji. He was a substitute secretly arranged by the emperor, and the gentleman himself didn't know it.
This substitute may never be used, but Hai Wuji finally came, and the real gentleman disappeared.
The situation of the entire village, as well as the situation of the gentleman, has long been secretly grasped. Hai Wuji can just read it carefully and remember it directly. This is an absolute secret secretly arranged by a country's power.
get out of class was over and the children left cheering.
The salesman came outside the school and met the teacher who came out.
The salesman is a salesman in this village. He carries loads and sells goods outside for a long time and rarely returns to the village.
But the identity of this salesman is actually the person ordered by the Nine Saints to investigate closely, Zhuge Chi, the chief internal officer of Hai Wuji.
Zhuge Chi's identity is real, and his identity as a salesman is also real. He has always been a member of this village. Everyone in the village knows this salesman. It's just because the salesman is away doing business for a long time and rarely comes back.
When Zhuge Chi Longzhong was old, he was the general manager of the imperial palace of Zhao State.
When Zhuge Chi looked much younger, he was a salesman who returned to his home in this village after going out to make a living.
Now it seems that my legs and feet are inconvenient and I can no longer run around outside. The salesman has returned and has begun to settle down in the village and work as a farmer.
Everything is connected seamlessly. Some monks have visited this village, and some officers, soldiers or spies have secretly investigated this place, but no one can find anything unusual.
Whether he is a teacher or a salesman, he is a native of this village. Everyone in and outside the village knows about him, and even the people in the surrounding government know about him, so there is no problem.
And all of this was Zhuge Chi's arrangement in his early years. After several dynasties, he strictly guarded his own secrets, and also shouldered the mission of protecting the emperors of several dynasties. Similar arrangements were not only made in Hai Wuji's dynasty, but also for the emperors of the previous dynasties.
, he also personally made similar arrangements secretly in other places.
This was done out of necessity, and it was not a back-up arrangement to worry about the fall of the dynasty. No one could have predicted that the dignified Zhao Guoguo would collapse like that.
Both the emperors of the past and Zhuge Chi himself knew that once Zhuge Chi's secret was exposed, not only would Zhuge Chi die, but the emperor who had secretly given the order would also not be able to escape disaster. Therefore, they were forced to make this secret arrangement in advance.
Once exposed, there will be a place to hide after escaping. Otherwise, even the vast power of the Nine Saints will be difficult to conquer even in this vast world.
