Wave after wave of 'surprises' shocked Lu Shengzhong. The Song family was finished, and the three sects attached to the Song family had also defected here. Unexpectedly, the Shang Chaozong had risen so quickly and had already occupied Qingshan County.
?
Being detained in a dark place for a long time, although he was somewhat ignorant of the flow of time outside, it was not that it was incalculable. How long did it take for such a big change to occur?
Although it was a little unbelievable, he knew in his heart that there was no need for people to fool him with this kind of thing. If he could sit down and talk with him, he was obviously prepared to be open-minded. He would know the truth of the matter as soon as he got out of it, so he couldn't fool him.
"Is this the county seat of Qingshan County?" Lu Shengzhong asked.
Niu Youdao nodded and smiled.
Lu Shengzhong was silent. When he was being escorted for transportation, he noticed that he had arrived at a city, which turned out to be Qingshan County.
Lu Shengzhong: “How do I know what Wuliang Mountain’s plans are?”
After taking a sip of tea, Niu Youdao put down the tea cup and pointed at the golden wings in the cage beside him, "The golden wings I got from you in Canglu County have been kept for you. Why not contact the teacher and give it a try.
"
Lu Shengzhong looked back at the golden wing and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that you were planning on Wuliang Mountain from the beginning."
He was right. Niu Youdao was indeed planning on Wuliang Mountain at the beginning. Wuliang Mountain was Niu Youdao's so-called 'giant gift' to the Shang Dynasty. However, the situation had changed and the plan had to change accordingly.
.
Niu Youdao: "Let's not talk about making plans. Things that are difficult to do by forcing others will never last long. Mutual benefit is the long-term solution."
Lu Shengzhong: "You want Wuliang Mountain to come here?"
Niu Youdao didn't agree with these words, "I can't compliment the ability of the leader of your sect for Wuliang Mountain to be in such a state today. In fact, I have always thought that Brother Lu's ability is a bit underwhelming within Wuliang Mountain. He can definitely help Wuliang Mountain."
Making greater contributions can also lead Wuliang Mountain to go further. If Brother Lu can become the leader of Wuliang Mountain, it is not impossible for Wuliang Mountain to prosper."
Lu Shengzhong sneered, "Are you kidding me?"
"A joke? It's really not a joke." Niu Youdao shook his head slowly, holding a pot and pouring tea: "Here, there is Tianyumen above, Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect, and Lingxiu Mountain below. Any one of them can be easily destroyed.
Get rid of Wuliang Mountain. As long as Wuliang Mountain comes here, Brother Lu can do whatever he wants with Wuliang Mountain. Whenever Brother Lu wants to get rid of the leader of the noble sect, it is all a matter of one sentence. Those who are dissatisfied with Brother Lu can be eradicated however they want.
It’s okay, it’s a very real thing, not a joke at all.”
What he said was too simple and crude, and it was also very explicit, despicable, and shameless. Yuanfang on the side felt twitching when he heard it.
Lu Shengzhong's pupils shrank suddenly. The man opposite him told him about killing the leader of his division in front of him. It was simply unreasonable!
Niu Youdao continued to say casually: "Although I have imprisoned Brother Lu for a long time, it is not necessarily a bad thing. There is a saying that after all hardships, happiness comes. If you can become the leader of a noble sect after being imprisoned for a while, I think there are many people in Wuliang Mountain who are willing to suffer this."
Sin. Of course, the premise is that Brother Lu must find a way to find the people in Wuliang Mountain and convince Wuliang Mountain to defect to this side. Of course, the more important thing is that Brother Lu must do things to my satisfaction. As long as I am satisfied,
It is not difficult for Brother Lu to become the head of Wuliang Mountain."
Lu Shengzhong said in a deep voice: "What a joke! No matter how bad I am, Lu Shengzhong, I will never be able to deceive my master and destroy my ancestors!"
Niu Youdao: "It's a bit too much to say that you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors. No one can determine who is born to be the leader. Which faction chooses the leader who is not a capable person? Let's replace the leader with a more capable person and give Wuliangshan one.
Isn't it good for a more glorious prospect to make the master's spirit in heaven smile? Incompetent people who drag down the entire sect for their own selfishness are the real bullies and destroy the ancestors. As a disciple of Wuliang Mountain, it is only right to think about doing the best for Wuliang Mountain.
"
Lu Shengzhong's cheeks tightened, "If I don't agree, are you going to kill me?"
Niu Youdao: "Forcing people to do something is not sweet. I don't like forcing others to do things they don't want to do. If you don't agree, I will never kill you. I will let you go."
Lu Shengzhong leaned forward slightly, "Really?"
Niu Youdao: "There is absolutely no lie! But I am worried about Brother Lu's future. If I offend Wang Heng, it will be difficult for Wuliang Mountain to gain a foothold in the Yan Kingdom! And Wang Heng, the culprit of Brother Lu, will naturally not let go.
However, it is also because of Brother Lu’s betrayal that Wuliang Mountain ended up like this. It’s hard for me to imagine what would happen to Brother Lu if he returned to Wuliang Mountain. Even if nothing happened, would Brother Lu still be reused in the sect?
"
"Of course, maybe Brother Lu is a noble person and it doesn't matter whether he is reused or not. Even if he suffers, he can do it. The matter of enduring humiliation and earning a living has been around since ancient times, and Brother Lu is not the least of them. Or maybe Brother Lu can fly far away and work anonymously as a casual cultivator or something like that.
Yes, but a person who betrays the master may not be able to get around easily outside..."
Lu Shengzhong was so confused by what he said, and his mind was in chaos.
"If we can find another way out for Wuliangshan, that will be different. We don't talk about merit, but it is enough to atone for our sins. You can tell Wuliangshan that you convinced me and take all the credit.
.If Wuliang Mountain comes here, even the imperial court of Yan State will not dare to act rashly, and Wang Heng will be unable to do anything to you."
Speaking of this, Niu Youdao sighed, "Okay, that's it. I don't like forcing people. Old Xiong, please remove the restraints on him and send him out of the house."
Yuan Fang immediately stepped forward and struck Lu Shengzhong repeatedly, releasing the restraints on him.
Needless to say, Lu Shengzhong was not in the mood to experience this feeling now that his magic power was back in operation, and his energy was full of energy.
"Please!" Yuanfang extended his hand to ask Lu Shengzhong to leave.
Lu Shengzhong hesitated to speak, sitting there with no intention of leaving. He turned his eyes from Yuanfang back to Niu Youdao, and finally asked, "You said it yourself, there is Tianyu Gate here, and the three immortals of the Immortal Sect are left below.
Pai, why bother recruiting Wuliangshan?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand and signaled Yuanfang to stand down, "That's why I said that I cannot compliment the leader of your sect. Wuliangshan only has that little strength. If you still want to compete with other sects, what can you use to compete? You can only compete with them."
It is suppressed by the powerful and has to hover on the edge. With all due respect, Wuliangshan wants to prosper, but it has not found its own position at all."
Lu Shengzhong said, "I would like to hear your opinions!"
Niu Youdao: "It's very simple, reposition yourself, stop thinking about competing with other sects, you don't have the strength to compete with the strong, first give up the plan of competing for profits with the strong, first think about how to bring out the best in others
Irreplaceable advantages, wait until you have a firm footing before looking for others."
Lu Shengzhong mused: "Wuliangshan doesn't seem to have any advantages that others can't replace."
Niu Youdao: "If you don't have an advantage, you have to create an advantage. It depends on how Wuliangshan positions its role and where to start. If you just want to grab territory and strengthen yourself, just rely on you? It's unrealistic and difficult.
Break through the wall of interests built by others."
Lu Shengzhong: "Please give me some advice."
At this point, Niu Youdao stopped beating around the bush and made it clear directly, "I need a group of spies who can go to important places in various countries so that I can grasp the situation in various places in a timely manner."
Lu Shengzhong understood what he meant, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "If Wuliang Mountain does not serve as any mage's retinue here, where will the financial resources come from?"
Niu Youdao: "If you worry too much, you will naturally be provided, otherwise your heart will be like water and you won't be able to keep it!"
Lu Shengzhong pondered for a while and then asked: "Can you really let me be the head of Wuliang Mountain?"
Niu Youdao smiled, knowing that this guy had already made his decision, "I can't guarantee this, and I don't want to make a guarantee. Everything depends on you. If you have the ability to be the leader, I will naturally help you. You
If I didn't have that ability, I wouldn't be able to shoot myself in the foot, and causing chaos within Wuliang Mountain would be of no benefit to me."
"I can only promise that I will give you a chance. If you can seize the opportunity, you deserve it. You first handle the matter from Wuliangshan, and then I will have other things for you to handle. Finish it."
, is your chance!”
Lu Shengzhong sighed sadly, did he have a choice?
As the other party said, even if he were let go, he might not end well. Even if his master didn't express his anger, he would never raise his head in the future.
Running away to become a casual cultivator? It is tantamount to betraying the master. This reputation will be shamed by all sects in the world. If you can continue to live in the future, you will not have any fame.
Since everything ends up like that, why not work hard in a good direction?
The other party has already given me a way, and I really can't find a reason to refuse.
He turned his head and looked at Jin Yi beside him, "After such a long time, I don't know if Jin Yi can still contact the people in the sect."
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "You can give it a try."
Lu Shengzhong nodded: "If I can't get in touch, I'll go out and find a way to find him."
Niu Youdao tilted his head and said: "I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
After a while, pen, ink, paper and inkstone arrived. Lu Shengzhong took up the pen and considered it for a long time before writing a secret letter.
After releasing the golden wings and taking away the secret message, Lu Shengzhong looked up to the sky and watched without saying a word.
Niu Youdao, who was standing on the steps of the pavilion behind him, ordered: "Arrange the room for Brother Lu, don't neglect it."
After Yuanfang took Lu Shengzhong away, Yuan Gang walked to Niu Youdao and asked: "What needs this Lu Shengzhong to do? Can you trust this kind of person?"
Niu Youdao knew the meaning of his words and would rather let him go if necessary.
"I'm waiting for Shao Pingbo to take action, and Shao Pingbo is waiting too! Over in Beizhou, Wei Duo is not suitable for doing shady things, and Wu Sanliang is capable of running errands but not enough to take on important responsibilities. Neither of them can pass Shao Pingbo's
Hands, that's why I asked them to keep a distance from Shao Pingbo, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble. As a person, there are some things you don't bother to do, and it's not appropriate to go there. Shao Pingbo needs to put someone with means and no bottom line.
If you are ruthless, Lu Shengzhong is more suitable than you all!" Niu Youdao said lightly.
