Wu Zhaoxing and the three of them suddenly woke up from the boring wait. Just because of this sentence, the three of them seemed to suddenly wake up from their sleep.
Everyone stared at Niu Youdao, and at that moment they all noticed the dangerous aura coming from him. They all inexplicably found that this man was dangerous and scary!
When he was forced into a desperate situation, he didn't show any fear at all. Instead, he remained calm and calm, advancing and retreating in a measured manner.
Although he is clearly facing threats from the forces of various countries, he seems to have no awareness of this.
Just because of what he just said, the three of them realized that the situation seemed to be opposite, which gave people an illusion that the situation seemed to be reversed. This person seemed to be swimming upstream, like a poisonous snake, hiding in the darkness and observing.
The power of various countries.
The previous series of actions were more like a vicious wolf, staring darkly behind the forces of various countries. How could he have the consciousness to be forced into a desperate situation?
"You can follow me..." Niu Youdao turned around and realized something was wrong. He touched his face. There was nothing unusual. He couldn't help but asked in shock: "Why are you staring at me like this?"
The three of them couldn't use specific words to describe the feeling they just felt. They couldn't explain it clearly. Anyway, it was just a feeling that they suddenly and inexplicably touched.
Niu Youdao was also confused by them. He raised his hand to touch his face many times and found nothing wrong.
After that, the group continued to follow the Zhao people...
In Fufang Garden, Qijing, Zhuang Hong's mother and son, who were once again under house arrest, watched Yu Cang leave.
Yucang came out of the courtyard and met Dugujing who was coming. He saw the hint given by his disciple and knew that he had something important to report.
Neither of them said anything. After quickly arriving at the room in their own yard, Yu Cangfang turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Dugujing nodded and said, "The matter in Nanzhou is settled."
Yu Cang: "You didn't reveal any flaws, did you?"
Dugujing: "No, things are done very cleanly."
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his hands and sighed: "That guy, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim!"
Dugujing hesitated and said: "It's not just hopeless. What Sha Rulai said openly represents the majesty of Piaomiao Pavilion. It is impossible to go back on his word. He has no hope of coming back alive. Is it necessary to help him do this kind of thing again?"
"
Yu Cang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Give up? How can I give up so easily without seeing the final result of the long-cherished wishes and beliefs of many generations?"
Dugujing lowered his head, sighed, then raised his head and said: "Master, there is news from below that something strange happened. Someone is looking for Shang Jing."
Yu Cang looked at him fiercely, "Shang Jing has been silent for a long time and has been forgotten by the world. How can anyone look for it?"
Dugujing: "Someone has contacted someone from our organization and is willing to pay us a huge amount of money to help find out the whereabouts of Shang Jing. Since we were also paying attention to Shang Jing's whereabouts earlier, the people below were also very alert and immediately checked the contact and investigated.
I found out the other party’s identity, he is from Tongxian Pavilion.”
"Tongxian Pavilion?" Yu Cang was confused, "Which Tongxian Pavilion? I only know the Tongxian Pavilion in Cangzhou, Yan State. Is there a second one?"
Dugujing: "Yes, it's them. It's not clear yet whether they are the real owners, or what they mean by looking for Shang Jing. I don't know if they are really here for Shang Jing, or if they know that Shang Jing is in our hands.
Deliberately testing. I was afraid of causing trouble, so after receiving the report, I immediately asked them to stop the platoon to avoid falling into a trap."
Yu Cang's expression was solemn, and he twirled his beard and muttered, "Didn't Tongxian Pavilion follow the rebellion of Wu Gongling and escape from Yan State? Now in the Song Kingdom, what does a mere Tongxian Pavilion want to do to find out the whereabouts of Shang Jing..." At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up.
, "Wugong Ridge!"
Dugujing: "Master, what you mean is that the person who wants Shangjing is Wu Gongling?"
Yucang sneered again and again, "He now occupies half of the Song Dynasty, and the incident in the secret realm of Tiandu froze the war, giving him a great opportunity for development. In addition, with the support of the Heavenly Girl Sect, his ambitions are not small. I am afraid that
I want to be emperor!"
After saying this, Dugujing thought thoughtfully for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Yes, according to the rules, if he wants to be emperor, he still needs one thing, the artifact of the country! The other seven items all have their own owners, so it is difficult to snatch them.
Even if there is a chance to destroy the country, there may not be a chance that it will fall into his hands. After all, Shang Jing is the only one who can do it."
…
The looming city on the horizon in the distance is Nanzhou Fucheng. Standing on the large bird, the head of Dachan Mountain, Huang Lie, has his eyes twinkling.
The ballast stone that checks and balances all the forces in Nanzhou is Niu Youdao. Now that Niu Youdao has entered the secret realm of Tiandu, regardless of whether Niu Youdao can come back alive, this news alone has made the relevant parties ready to take action.
Some people will not sit back and watch until Niu Youdao comes back to regain control of the situation, and have already taken action secretly, such as Xiaoyao Palace.
Xiaoyao Palace found him secretly, supported him in taking full control of Nanzhou, and asked him to cooperate with Xiaoyao Palace to put pressure on Shang Chaozong.
To put it bluntly, they are taking advantage of Niu Youdao's absence to seize the opportunity to seize power!
This matter cannot be done openly yet. After all, the war is only temporarily frozen and has not ended yet. It will affect the war between Yan and Zhao. Once the Yan State is defeated, it is not what Xiaoyao Palace wants to see. What's more, Yan State has more than one Xiaoyao Palace.
There are also Lingjian Mountain and Zijin Cave. Those two families will not sit back and watch Xiaoyao Palace swallow this piece of fat.
However, Huang Lie was still a little afraid of Niu Youdao, and he was a little unsure if he wanted to fight with Niu Youdao.
This time, he came with great determination, because if he was not careful, he might fall out with Niu Youdao. After all, no one knew whether Niu Youdao could come back alive. Once Niu Youdao came back alive, he would be killed by Niu Youdao.
Youdao knew that Dachanshan was messing with him. That guy was not a vegetarian. It was hard to say whether Dachanshan's interests in Nanzhou could be preserved.
In fact, at present, Niu Youdao is not competing for interests with Dachan Mountain. Nanzhou's interests have always been given to Dachan Mountain. If it can continue to be stable like this, there will be nothing wrong with it.
But the crux of the problem is that the control of Nanzhou is in Niu Youdao's hands, and this benefit is more like a charity from Niu Youdao.
If one day makes Niu Youdao unhappy, Niu Youdao can cut off this charity at any time.
With Niu Youdao backing the Shang Dynasty Sect, it can be said that they let go of their hands and feet to exert governance on the ground in Nanzhou. With Niu Youdao in control, it is difficult for Dachan Mountain to interfere.
It sounds good to say that it is difficult to intervene, but in fact it is more restrictive. For example, if it is a wealthy family's property that it has set its sights on, Dazenshan does not dare to mess around.
There is a precedent. A disciple of Dazen Mountain fell in love with a beautiful woman and couldn't help it. He gave her to her.
Dachanshan himself didn't even know about it, but somehow the Shang Chaozong knew about it.
Shang Chaozong did not dare to say anything, but according to signs, it was Shang Chaozong who should have brought the matter to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao then sent him a message to greet him. Niu Youdao did not hold him accountable, he just said that messing up Nanzhou would not be good for everyone.
What Niu Youdao said was true. Dachanshan could still say that it was wrong for the disciple below to do that kind of thing, so he immediately punished the disciple according to the sect's rules.
Faced with such a matter, there were opinions within Dachan Mountain. It was not that the disciple should not be dealt with, but that Niu Youdao's hand was stretched too far.
In fact, Niu Youdao did not extend any help. The reason why some people were dissatisfied was because the existence of Niu Youdao restricted the privileges of some people in Dachan Mountain.
He nominally controlled Nanzhou and obtained the benefits of Nanzhou, but he could not... To put it bluntly, he could not satisfy his own selfish desires and could not enjoy the benefits and scenery brought by his own power on his own territory.
This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. We can only use this excuse as an excuse that if Nanzhou's autonomy is not controlled, Niu Youdao may cut off the interests of Dachan Mountain at any time.
Huang Lie himself didn't like this feeling either.
Along the way, he was thinking about how to talk to Shang Chaozong.
The fear is because they are worried about the situation after Niu Youdao returns. At present, the outside world does not know what Niu Youdao did in Tiangu.
This is also the reason why Yu Cang dare not say it, even to Niu Youdao's confidants.
Niu Youdao is related to the situation in the entire Nanzhou, and it affects the whole body. Once people know that Niu Youdao cannot come back alive, the hearts of Nanzhou will definitely change.
…
Shang Chaozong stood alone under the eaves in silence.
He had already returned to the capital city of Nanzhou, and the battlefield had been frozen. There was no need to waste two important people from Nanzhou there, leaving Meng Shanming to take charge.
He has been under a lot of pressure recently. Whether Niu Youdao can come back alive is what worries him the most. The people below are also interested in exploring, and they are obviously worried about the future situation of Nanzhou.
Guo Qingkong, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace, found him and talked about surrendering to him. He promised that as long as he led Nanzhou to surrender, Xiaoyao Palace could forget about the murder of Shi Sheng.
Regardless of whether this promise was true or false, Shang Chaozong himself knew that once Niu Youdao failed to come back, he would inevitably have to make another choice.
Not only Xiaoyao Palace, but Lingjian Mountain and Zijin Cave have also given hints in this regard, but they are not as explicit as Xiaoyao Palace said.
It is hard for outsiders to imagine how much pressure he is facing now. If he refuses now, he will offend all three major factions. Once Niu Youdao cannot come back, without Niu Youdao's checks and balances, his end will definitely be terrible.
Tragic, not just him, many people will suffer bloody purges.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Thatched Cottage."
Lan Ruoting arrived and handed him a translated letter.
Shang Chaozong found that his face was ugly, so when he received the letter, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lan Ruoting: "Something happened to Guo Qingkong, the elder of Xiaoyao Palace. He was attacked and died!"
Shang Chaozong was shocked and quickly picked up the letter and took a closer look. The situation was similar to what Lan Ruoting said. After Guo Qingkong secretly met here, he was attacked on the way back. Not only Guo Qingkong, but also Guo Qingkong's entourage were all dead.
One survived.
The crux of the matter is that the letter even clearly stated how many people in Guo Qingkong and his party were killed in Yan State, and it only mentioned that they had a secret meeting with him!
Shang Chaozong: "Don't we have flying mounts?"
Lan Ruoting: "Maybe he was intercepted in the air!"
Shang Chaozong was silent for a while and asked: "Did Maolu Villa do it?"
Lan Ruoting: "In that remote place, everyone died. I'm afraid even Xiaoyao Palace doesn't know about it now. The letter was sent from Maolu Villa, who did it? Needless to say who did it? This letter was sent to the prince on purpose.
