The Thatched Cottage is just outside the palace, and is only separated from the palace by a corridor. There is a secret passage connecting the two places.
The two parties met in another secret room underground.
"Master Dao!" Seeing Niu Youdao, Shang Chaozong, Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting all bowed their hands in greeting.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and raised his hand to invite him to sit down. After everyone was seated, he asked: "I wonder why the prince summoned you?"
Shang Chaozong looked solemn, "I think the Taoist master must have heard about the execution of the two saints."
Niu Youdao: "I heard it. But it's not like the Seven Sages made it public. They were trying to put money on their faces. The real cause of death of Mu Lianze and Changsun Mi was that they died at the hands of the Holy Rakshasa in the Butterfly Dream Realm.
I was at the scene when it happened. To be precise, I was the one who introduced them into the butterfly dream world."
The three members of the Shang Chaozong looked at each other, and Lan Ruoting tried to ask, "Is it possible that the execution of the Second Saint was planned by you, Master Dao?"
Niu Youdao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I did it. Is there any problem?"
Guan Fangyi glanced at him sideways. She felt a little unhappy because she was unable to witness the death of the Second Saint for such a big thing.
Little did he know how dangerous it would be for Niu Youdao and others to come out of the illusion world and bump into Luo Qiu and others.
Of course, knowing that Niu Youdao killed Mu Lianze and Changsun Mi, the shock in my heart still lingers.
After following Qi Jing here, she witnessed with her own eyes how this person got to where he is today step by step. When she left Qi Jing, she never thought that one day this person would be able to attack the Nine Saints.
Looking back on the past and looking at the present, I feel very emotional.
Hearing this, the three members of Shang Chaozong were also shocked. Their faces were full of shock, and their hearts were even more shocked.
Niu Youdao broke the silence, "Is this why the prince summoned you?"
"Uh..." Shang Chaozong came to his senses. He was a little confused about what to say. He calmed down his emotions and replied: "Such a sudden change made the monks guarding him uneasy. I don't know if there will be a big change. I came here to ask Master Dao for advice."
How should I handle myself?" His tone and demeanor were extremely respectful.
The relationship between the two parties is becoming less and less comfortable than before. In fact, Niu Youdao's behavior has not changed much. It is Shang Chaozong who has unknowingly lowered his attitude. At least in the eyes of Shang Chaozong and others.
Come on, Niu Youdao is no longer the young boy he used to be.
Niu Youdao: "Just do what you have to do. Just do your own thing. You can't get involved in other things. I will naturally deal with it. If there is any change, I will inform the prince in advance. Don't worry, prince."
.”
Shang Chaozong nodded, "That's very good!"
Niu Youdao: "That's right! It's one thing for you to do your own thing well, but you also need to be prepared for the other side."
Shang Chaozong: "Just do as the Taoist orders."
Niu Youdao: "Be prepared to take over the entire Yan Kingdom, don't be caught off guard when the time comes."
"..." The three Shang Chaozong looked at each other speechlessly and took over the entire Yan Kingdom?
Meng Shanming finally spoke up, "Will the three major sects agree?"
Niu Youdao: "I will handle the affairs of the three major sects. You don't have to worry about the affairs in various parts of Yan State. Da Sikong Gao Jiancheng is my man. I got rid of Tong Mo just to help him rise to power. Gao Jiancheng rises to power.
After that, he has been secretly preparing for it. After such a long time, with his ability, he should be able to manage the party members from all over the country. When the time comes, the prince can just go up and make a call. There is no need to worry about any backlash from various parts of the Yan Kingdom. Everything will be done.
It's logical. Gao Jiancheng's affairs are top secret. No clues can be revealed from the prince's side. Just go back and forth as usual."
Gao Jiancheng, who had a grudge against his son, was actually one of his people? The three Shang Chaozong people were stunned and speechless, and they didn't know what to say.
One secret after another suddenly emerged, and the three of them found it difficult to digest for a while and were a little confused.
Guan Fangyi curled her lips and realized that things were indeed different now. The secrets that she once strictly guarded were now dared to be revealed casually, with a sense of ease.
Niu Youdao stood up, "I have other things to deal with here. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first."
"Master Tao, go slowly!" The three people from Shang Chaozong hurriedly held their hands and sent them off.
Niu Youdao nodded slightly and smiled, then turned around and left, followed by Yun Ji and Guan Fangyi.
After reaching the depths of the secret passage, Yun Ji waved her sleeves and the soil on the ground surged, blocking the connected secret passages to prevent anyone from easily breaking into the thatched cottage through the secret passages.
The remaining three people gradually looked at each other. If they heard correctly, it seemed that a great happy event was about to happen.
"You hold the sun and moon in your mouth, and you hold the universe in your hands!" Meng Shanming suddenly sighed with endless emotion.
Returning to his secret room, Niu Youdao suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Guan Fangyi.
Guan Fangyi felt uncomfortable with his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing? With a new love, can you still like me?" She glanced at Yun Ji, as if she was pointing.
Yun Ji squinted and ignored him. She didn't like bickering.
Niu Youdao: "You must hurry up to break through the Nascent Soul stage."
Guan Fangyi: "I definitely care more about my own good than you."
Niu Youdao stopped talking nonsense to her and said to Yun Ji: "Contact the Holy Land and ask them to find a way to arrange for me to go in. Tell them that I want to bring someone in."
…
The courtyard of Song Jing Prime Minister's Mansion was quiet. Jia Wuqun sighed and shook his head after reading the secret letter in his hand, and handed the letter to Yuan Cong.
Yuan Cong was obviously surprised when he saw it. Niu Youdao actually killed Mu Lianze and Changsun Mi? Unbelievable!
…
In the study, Shao Pingbo slowly put down the secret letter in his hand and sat quietly behind the case without saying a word.
Shao Sansheng on the side tried to ask: "Did he really do it?"
Shao Pingbo sighed: "It is obvious that there are pushers behind the recent series of things. They have already targeted the Nine Saints. It is normal that he did it."
Shao Sansheng sighed: "Two of the nine were killed at once..."
Shao Pingbo said slowly: "Diemeng Realm... It seems that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also has his people. That guy is really powerful!"
Shao Sansheng: "I heard that Piaomiao Pavilion has put aside all other matters for the time being and is purging people from Wuming Holy Land and Tianmu Holy Land."
Shao Pingbo: "If something like this happened, it's not worth mentioning. I hope it won't affect the war. I asked you to inquire. There were no changes in the war, right?"
Shao Sansheng: "I have inquired with Heishuitai. According to Gao Pin's request, Heishuitai has launched a campaign to attack the Qi state, sending a large number of spies to contact Qi court officials to instigate rebellion or frame up, Haoyun Tu's
Both brothers Hao Yunsheng and Hao Yuntu's son Hao Qi took advantage of it. It is said that the effect was good. Even if Qi Emperor Hao Yuntu knew that it was the conspiracy of the Jin State, he would still be suspicious and had already dealt with some people. Today Qi Jing is already in turmoil.
momentum."
Shao Pingbo nodded slightly, "Gaopin has controlled the situation on the battlefield and has given Jin the upper hand. The situation is not good for Qi. It is normal for those officials of Qi to have thoughts. Even Hao Yuntu himself may not believe it if he expects those people to die.
It is the best time to attack the heart, and it should be effective. As long as the people's hearts are turbulent, Qi will be in chaos sooner or later. By then, Huyan Wuhen and Luo Zhao will be unable to recover. It seems that Qi is not far away from falling. Maybe
It just happened all of a sudden.”
Shao Sansheng sighed, "It seems that the Seven Kingdoms are about to become the Five Kingdoms. The weather in the world is changing drastically!"
Shao Pingbo walked to the map of various countries and examined it, his eyes twinkling...
The shocking aftermath of the spiritual world has not stopped. The Seven Saints raided Wuming Holy Land and Tianmu Holy Land. The personnel in the two places had no time to react. In addition, the Seven Saints personally participated in the attack. The two places were almost wiped out. After eradicating the old nests of the two places, Miaomiao
Immediately afterwards, members of the two factions were arrested within the cabinet.
For this reason, all matters such as verification have been put aside for the time being in order to control the situation in Piaomiao Pavilion.
Not all members of the two factions were arrested, but only members of the direct lineage of Wuming Holy Land and Tianmu Holy Land. The rest were intimidated and surrendered one after another, and the Seven Saints also accepted their refuge.
There are also a small number of people on the run. During the pursuit, all factions in the world have received orders to assist in the pursuit.
Under the drastic changes, there is quite a sense of ups and downs, and panic is inevitable. After all, the major forces in the spiritual world have more or less contacts with people from the two factions, and they are worried about being implicated.
In fact, the situation did not have much impact. The Seven Saints steadily controlled the overall situation and did not let the situation expand infinitely and cause chaos in the world...
In Nanzhou, in the swaying carriage, Fire Phoenix Nie Yunshang looked at Guan Fangyi who was sitting with him from time to time, and couldn't help but ask again: "Matchmaker, where are we going?"
Guan Fangyi took her hand in his and patted it, "Don't worry, we'll know when we get there."
After the carriage left the city, it arrived at a farmhouse in a secluded place.
The two got out of the car and pushed the door open, only to see Yun Ji standing in the yard waiting.
They nodded and said hello to each other, and Yun Ji waved her hand to the room.
Guan Fangyi also stopped and signaled Huo Fenghuang to enter the main room.
Huo Fenghuang's face was full of doubts, and he turned back three times. Finally, he walked to the main door and opened it. He saw a man standing with his back to his back and his hands behind his back.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, how could Huo Phoenix easily be in the same room with a lonely man? He couldn't help but look back.
Guan Fangyi waved her hand with a smile on her face, gesturing for her to come in.
Huo Fenghuang looked back and found that the man in the room had turned around, and raised his hand to slowly tear off the mask on his face, revealing his true face.
After recognizing who it was, Huo Fenghuang exclaimed, "Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao smiled, "Come in, close the door!"
Huo Fenghuang couldn't control his emotions and stepped over the threshold first. Hearing this, he quickly turned around and closed the door. Then he walked up to Niu Youdao and looked him up and down carefully. He said in disbelief: "Master Dao, you...haven't you already...
"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, I'm not dead, Kunlinshu is also alive and well. I didn't tell you the truth before, just because there are many things that I can't control. I heard that you often shed tears, and mistakenly thought that we were just obedient and comforted.
It's my fault that I've made you sad for so long."
Huo Fenghuang shook his head repeatedly. He had no intention of caring about anything else right now. He wished he could grab him with both hands and ask, "Master Tao, where is my senior brother now?"
Niu Youdao: "He is still in the Holy Land. I show up to see you this time because I want to take you into the Holy Land to meet Kunlin Tree. I wonder if you would like to go?"
How could Fire Phoenix be unwilling? He simply nodded and said, "Yes!" But then he thought again and hesitated, "How to get in?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry about this, I have already made arrangements."
