Gong Linche wandered alone in the waterside corridor, thinking. He was different from other elders. He was the leader of the sect. He had to consider whether this incident would have any consequences on the Zijin Cave.
It is said that in a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. For such a large sect, internal power struggles are inevitable.
In this regard, he is actually no different from other elders.
The difference is that he has become a standout character in the struggle. He controls the entire Zijin Cave. His responsibilities cannot remain in his original role. Everyone will pay attention to whether he is qualified for the position of leader.
While wandering, I was both thinking and waiting for news from the thatched cottage.
The disciple who was inquiring about the progress of the situation came back. He quickly came to the waterside corridor and reported: "Master, Elder Mo has captured Yuan Gang..." He recounted what happened.
After hearing this, Gong Linche breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly. Mo Lingxue did a good job and solved the matter without any bloodshed. This is the best result. It can not only give an explanation to the disciples below, but also prevent the conflict from expanding.
Hua, it is definitely not a good thing to have a bloody fight with the Maolu Courtyard at this time. If word spreads, it may cause a sudden change in Niu Youdao's group of forces. It is easy for the group of forces to be taken over, and it is easy to have twists and turns. It is best to end it peacefully.
"Yes, I understand." Gong Lince waved his hand, signaling the disciple to leave.
Not long after, Elder Mo Lingxue came and came back to tell him that the matter had been settled and that Yuan Gang had been successfully taken out of the thatched cottage and taken into custody.
"Well done, junior sister, thank you for your hard work." Gong Lince praised.
Mo Lingxue smiled bitterly, "It's just a fluke. I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that I really convinced Yuan Gang. Speaking of which, although this man is easily impulsive, I still admire him. He is indeed a man."
On the way back, I was thinking, if this kind of thing happened to us, would any of us be willing to sacrifice ourselves like him?"
Gong Lince was silent and did not answer this question. He was afraid that the answer would not be convincing, so he stopped talking and changed the topic, "I heard that when the incident happened, the matchmaker asked Ju An to inform Mr. Zhong.
Will anyone come from Guimian Pavilion to do anything next?"
Mo Lingxue shook his head, "I'm paying attention too. From beginning to end, there was no movement from Guimian Pavilion, and there was no reaction from Mr. Zhong."
Gong Lince nodded slightly, "At this time, Mr. Zhong must be unhappy with the people from the Thatched Cottage, but Mr. Zhong is Mr. Zhong, and he still thinks about the overall interests of the sect from the perspective of Zijin Cave, and did not let us
Difficult to do.”
After the turmoil was calmed down, Gong Lince did not relax his vigilance and arranged for people to pay close attention to the Maolu Villa to prevent any further troubles.
However, the situation calmed down, and he had his mind to deal with other matters. He met with several distinguished guests in the door again, and it was not good to leave these distinguished guests alone for too long.
Yu Cang, the head of the Xiaoyue Pavilion of the Qin State, Guan Jitai, the head of the Lingxiao Pavilion of the Song State, Qu Fan, the head of the Blood Temple, and Wu Chengyu, the head of the Split Heaven Palace, met Gong Lince again.
These people were not invited by Gong Lince, but they took the initiative to come, which was related to Niu Youdao's visit to the Holy Land.
Once Niu Youdao leaves, and once Niu Youdao fails to come back, Zijindong is very likely to take over Niu Youdao's power. Qin State or Xiaoyue Pavilion cannot simply place their hopes on Niu Youdao's return.
, you must make another preparation.
To put it bluntly, the new establishment of the Qin State requires a stable environment to lay the foundation, and now Zijin Cave has a great say in the Yan State's military.
The previous friendship with Niu Youdao was one thing, but the reality he faced was another matter. Precisely because of his friendship with Niu Youdao, Yucang was worried that Zijindong would think too much about it, so he came here to resolve the matter.
To avoid any misunderstanding.
When Niu Youdao was there, Yu Cang pretended as if nothing had happened. As soon as Niu Youdao left, Yu Cang immediately took action.
The Song State, which was severely weakened, had almost the same meaning. Because of Hui Qingping's incident, Niu Youdao mobilized troops and mobilized troops, which made the Song State very nervous. The three major factions of the Song State were worried that after Zijindong took over Niu Youdao's power, they would do something to prove it.
I have already mastered that power. In order to intimidate, this is very possible.
Looking around, the Song State is relatively weak and is the best target to attack. The three major factions of the Song State have to take precautions and come to reason with Zijin Cave.
The general principle is that the current state of Yan is not much better, so South Korea should not take advantage of it.
Not only did he talk about South Korea, but he also hoped to stabilize Yan State so that South Korea would not dare to act rashly and give Song State more breathing space.
Both Yu Cang and the heads of the three major sects of the Song Kingdom knew that as long as the current Zijin Cave stood still, the Yan Kingdom would not be able to cause trouble.
In the final analysis, it is all about taking precautions and taking precautions before they happen.
Several big bosses were 'eating, drinking and chatting' in the sect's stronghold of Zijin Cave, but the large birds that took turns cruising above the sect rushed in one direction to meet them.
Two large manned birds flew in from the east. Naturally, the patrols here did not dare to be careless, and quickly went over to intercept and conduct inspections to prevent outsiders from trespassing.
It turned out that the visitor turned out to be someone from Donghai, and the person who led the people from Donghai was actually Niu Youdao, the elder of Zijindong. The interrogating disciples were very surprised. Didn't Elder Niu go to the Holy Land?
With Niu and Dao as guarantors, the interrogating disciples were released immediately.
After the two large birds from the East China Sea hovered above the main hall of Zijin Cave, Niu Youdao once again sent an invitation to the escorts before leaving, "You are all here, why don't you allow Niu to fulfill his friendship as a landlord."
"We appreciate Elder Niu's kindness. It's really inappropriate. Elder Niu knows the reason. We have already sent Elder Niu, and we should follow the Great Sage's decree and rush back to return to his life as soon as possible." The leader of the East China Sea Demonic Cultivator politely rejected Niu Youdao.
of good intentions.
It’s been a long journey, not because he didn’t want to take a break, but after the Great Sage of the East China Sea asked Niu Youdao about the situation of leaving the Holy Land, he found that Niu Youdao himself couldn’t figure out what was going on, and he felt a little unsure about the situation.
I had no intention of getting involved too deeply, and I had the intention of avoiding it. It was the utmost kindness and righteousness to send someone to bring Niu Youdao back.
Of course, it was also because Niu Youdao asked for help from Fei Gu, and Niu Youdao's current status made it difficult to refuse.
The Great Sage of the East China Sea himself sent Niu Youdao to a place close to the land and then said goodbye and returned. The rest of the journey was left to his men to continue escorting him. Niu Youdao was not qualified to let the Great Sage of the East China Sea escort him home.
"In that case, I won't force it. Everyone, have a good trip. Please express my gratitude to the great sage for me."
"Okay, I'll take the words to you, Elder Niu, take care."
After the two parties were polite, Niu Youdao jumped down and flew straight towards the direction of the sect's main hall. He was the elder of Zijindong after all. Since he was back, and coming back this time was not a trivial matter, it was natural for him to vent his breath to the sect first.
matter.
The two escorting birds soared into the sky again, and quickly moved away under the surveillance of the large birds in Zijin Cave.
Niu Youdao, who had fallen outside the sect hall, breathed a sigh of relief. He finally came back. When he saw the Zijindong disciples around him looking at him in astonishment, he couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention other people, even himself.
I didn't expect that I could return so quickly, so I shouted, "Where is the leader? Go and report it to me!"
His tone of voice was still that of Elder Niu, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.
As soon as the words came out, some Zijindong disciples immediately woke up and ran away quickly.
In the sect's meeting place, Gong Lince was chatting and laughing with several distinguished guests, and he was in a really good mood. It was naturally a good feeling to have the right to speak in the Yan Kingdom and make people ask for it.
The disciple who came quickly walked to Gong Lince, leaned over and reported urgently: "Master, Elder Niu is back."
Gong Lince, who was about to raise his glass, looked stunned on the spot, and his hand holding the glass froze.
Yu Cang, Guan Jitai, Qu Fan, and Wu Chengyu were also confused, as if they all suspected that they heard wrongly.
Gong Lince slowly turned around and asked, "Who is back?"
The disciple murmured in his heart, how many Elder Niu could there be in Zijin Cave? Then he sorted out the order of words and told him clearly, "Elder Niu has returned from the Holy Land and asked to see the leader. He is outside the main hall."
Gong Lince seemed to have finally woken up. He stood up suddenly, turned around and asked, "Are you sure you read that correctly? It's Elder Niu?"
Yucang and the four others slowly stood up, their faces full of disbelief.
The disciple said: "How could Elder Niu and his disciples be wrong? If not for Elder Niu, he would not have been able to pass the interrogation of the guarding disciples and come outside the main hall."
Gong Lince turned around and left immediately without saying a word, and Yu Cang and the four others quickly followed.
Gong Lince walked a few steps and suddenly stopped with a frown. He was just thinking about the Holy Land and wanted to find out why Niu Youdao came back so soon. Now he suddenly remembered what happened in the Thatched Cottage. At this time, Niu Youdao
Did you come back because you found out about the Maolu Courtyard and found a way to come back?
But I think it's wrong to think about it. The matter in the Maolu Courtyard was only settled today. Niu Youdao has a long way to go back from the Holy Land, and the time doesn't match up.
It was precisely because he remembered what happened in the Thatched Cottage that Niu Youdao would not come back sooner or later. It was really fatal to come back suddenly at this time. His tooth ached just thinking about it. How could he explain it? There was no way to explain it!
Thinking of Niu Youdao's unruly energy, the head of the palace suddenly had one head and two heads. The real owner was back, and the matter in the Thatched Cottage was a bit unclear as to how to end it.
"Brother Gong, what's wrong?" Yu Cang asked as he followed.
Gong Lince turned around and saw that several people were following him. He immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone, go back to the guest house to rest first. Gong will take care of some housework first."
The four of them hesitated to speak. They also wanted to see Niu Youdao and understand what happened in the Holy Land.
However, Gong Lince dropped the words and left. When the four of them tried to follow, they were stopped by Zijin Cave disciples, who forced them to leave. It was not easy for the four of them to run wild in Zijin Cave...
"What? Niu Youdao is back?" Fu Jun, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the room, opened Huo Ran's eyes and said with a surprised look on his face: "How long has it been since he went to the Holy Land? How could he come back?"
His disciple replied: "Master, yes, Niu Youdao is indeed back. He is waiting outside the meeting hall now. I saw it with my own eyes, and many people saw it."
"I'm back..." Fu Junrang stood up quickly. While he was wandering and thinking, he suddenly stopped and sneered, "It's good to be back. Isn't the leader going to help Yan Li? I'll see how they end up now! The hard fight is back.
I'm afraid Guan Qingya's position as deacon can't be saved, and your chance has come." He tilted his head to remind his disciple.
His disciple suddenly looked happy, bowed his hands and said: "Disciple, all follow the master's instructions!"
"Let's go and take a look!" Fu Junrang waved and shouted.
