"Or else!" Tang Henian pondered and suggested, "Of course, Yu Luocha wouldn't reveal the truth, but we can verify it from another aspect. If it wasn't for Lord Qing and the Buddha Realm working together to create this matter, Yu Luocha naturally wouldn't make a fuss if we took the initiative to contact her to settle this matter. This is a case of having a guilty conscience. If she gets involved in this matter, it will be troublesome for her as well. Why would she send a large number of experts here privately? Lord Buddha won't let this go easily. If it's really Master Qing working together with the other side, she'll definitely demand justice after losing so many experts and having no worries. At the very least, she'll shout a few times. "
"Yes!" Kou Lingxu followed his train of thought and nodded in agreement, "In other words, if Yu Luo Cha wants to make a fuss, then there's no treasure. If she doesn't, then she has a guilty conscience, and the treasure might be real."
Tang Henian added, "It can also prove from another angle that Niu Youde didn't lie to us."
Kou Lingxu nodded slowly and pondered.
Kou Zheng, on the other hand, was secretly anxious. How could they talk about the treasure in such a big matter? Couldn't they slowly think about it later?
Of course, he also admitted that the two elders were right. If it really was a treasure that even Demonic Monk Nan Bo coveted, then it must be something good. However, his son's life and death were unknown, so he wanted to figure out the matter in front of him more.
After a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, you told me to tell Niu Youde that you will help him settle the grudges with the Heavenly Court's officials. I don't understand, if it's so easy to settle, why wait until now?"
Kou Lingxu could understand how he felt. T Wen Bai's life and death were unknown, so he couldn't say anything that disregarded his grandson's life. He gave Tang Henian a look and signaled him to explain.
Tang Henian sighed, "Sir, the people we sent to Nether Spring caught an eyewitness. From him, we learned that a large number of Heavenly Court's people appeared at the scene of the battle."
Kou Zheng was stunned. He said in shock, "Did Heavenly Court's people annihilate our people?"
Tang Henian nodded, "I'm afraid so. From the situation at the scene of the crime, there are many traces of broken magic bow attacks. There were only two possibilities. The first possibility is that our forces have repeatedly used the Magic Breaker Bows to attack the Heavenly Court, but from the information we received during the battle, we didn't use the Magic Breaker Bows repeatedly. This leaves us with another possibility, which is that a large group of Heavenly Court's forces used a large number of Magic Breaker Bows to attack. They annihilated all of our forces in one fell swoop, causing us to lose contact with them. "
Kou Zheng's eyes gradually widened. "The Imperial Guards!"
"I'm afraid this is the only possibility." Tang Henian nodded. "When I received Sir System's message, His Royal Highness was meeting with the other three. At the same time, he also summoned all the marshals and Celestial Lords involved in the incident, and had the captured witnesses confess to everyone on the spot."
Kou Zheng was shocked again. "Doesn't that mean that the marshals and the Star Lords below know what happened?"
Tang Henian sighed and said, "The four princes have come together to beg for forgiveness from the marshals and Lord Taibai Jinxing. But knowing the truth makes things easier. At least everyone understands. The sin isn't on the four princes, but on Lord Qing's intention. After all, it was the Imperial Guards who attacked and annihilated the Heavenly Court. Without Lord Qing's order, the Imperial Guards wouldn't dare to do this! "
Kou Zheng said angrily, "Why did Lord Qing do this?" If the Imperial Guards attacked, he guessed that his son was already dead. The Imperial Guards weren't afraid of his Kou family's background, so he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Tang Henian said, "Lord Qing's motive for doing this is unclear, but one thing is for sure. This matter started because of Niu Youde. Lord Qing used Niu Youde as a bait to achieve his goal, but he was also helping Niu Youde. He didn't want the Ying family's trap to succeed, and he could keep Niu Youde alive to restrain His Royal Highness. As long as Niu Youde doesn't die and continues to stay in the Phantom City, the other families will continue to struggle. With Lord Qing scheming behind the scenes, I'm afraid the other families won't have peace. "
Kou Zheng spread his hands and said, "Then what do we do now? Just let it go?"
Tang Henian said slowly, "Lord Qing has already directly issued a heavenly decree to the four Wangye. He said that the four Wangye have already caused great chaos in the world, and he ordered the four Wangye to immediately stop training and return to their positions. Those who disobey will be regarded as traitors, and the Imperial Guards will be ordered to purge them with blood, and their families will be executed! Lord Qing has most likely obtained the Xiahou family's approval and support, so he doesn't have to worry about the war. Otherwise, how could he be so domineering? "
Kou Zheng really wanted to raise the flag and start a rebellion. Since Lord Qing is making things difficult for everyone, then he shouldn't think about sitting firmly in the world. But he knows that it's unrealistic to think like this. If they don't go to the last step, no one would drag such a large family business and endless glory and wealth to fight to the death.
But the anger in his heart can't be quelled. He can't help but cup his hands towards Kou Lingxu and ask the question that he already guessed the answer to, "What does Father think?"
Kou Lingxu lowered his eyes.
Tang Henian hurriedly answered on his behalf, "Lord Qing has issued a decree, and the Xiahou family has secretly expressed Lord Qing's attitude. If the four armies withdraw now, Lord Qing can let bygones be bygones and pretend that nothing has happened. Although the marshals and the Lords of Heaven below had expressed that they would follow the orders of the four Heavenly Kings, the four Lords could see that they were not willing to risk their lives to fight. After all, the Imperial Guards had powerful weapons and were very powerful. Even if they joined hands and had the advantage in numbers, it would be a pyrrhic victory even if they could win. They would not be able to do anything. In the end, both sides would be heavily injured by the Green Lord, and others would take advantage of it. The Buddha Lord would not sit idly by. But Lord Qing's secret message has given everyone a way out of this embarrassing situation, and also caused the people below to tacitly accept the loss of the Nether Spring Hunt. After weighing the pros and cons, the four Wangye can only reply to Lord Qing and express their obedience! "
Kou Zheng slowly shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. "Lord Qing has already shown his fangs by attacking the children of the families. Can his words still be trusted?"
Tang Henian said, "So there is a condition to retreat in secret. From today onwards, the Wangye will not go to the Heavenly Palace to attend court. You will have to listen to the court on his behalf."
"Ah!" Kou Zheng was instantly freed from his anger. He thought he heard wrong and said in disbelief, "Me? Go to court? What about Father? "
Tang Henian said, "This is the intention of the Xiahou family in private. The marshals and Star Lords are also afraid, worried that there will be no leader, and strongly requested the four Wangye to gather their troops. They have already shed all pretense of cordiality, and don't risk going to the Heavenly Palace again. Therefore, from today onwards, the four Wangye will find a good place to build a new Heavenly Palace in the territory of the four armies, far away from the Heavenly Palace as a precaution. At the same time, each of them will choose a son to represent them in court, and the Kou family will naturally be the boss. "
Kou Zheng was surprised. "Did Lord Qing agree?"
Tang Henian said, "Yes, he did. Since the Xiahou family could secretly agree, I'm afraid they are also secretly pressuring the Heavenly Palace. At this point, if the Xiahou family stands on the side of the four Wangye, Lord Qing won't have a big chance of winning with only the guards in his hands, so he had to agree. It is also in the best interest of the Xiahou family when the upper and lower levels are not united. Otherwise, the Xiahou family wouldn't be working so hard. That old fox, Xiahou Ta, has been hiding in the dark and didn't say anything. This time, he took advantage of the situation. Of course, the four Wangye won't let go of this opportunity, so they each asked the Heavenly Palace for two million Dharma Breaking Bows. "
Kou Zheng said quietly, "Lord Qing agreed?"
Tang Henian nodded. "Yes, he agreed. Lord Qing's biggest weakness is to sit on the throne, but how can he sit on the throne without taking a single cent? Moreover, the losses of the marshals and Star Lords in the Nether Spring also need to be compensated. The Dharma Breaking Bows are the best thing to comfort people. "
Kou Zheng sighed softly. "If he had known this would happen, Lord Qing wouldn't have done this."
Tang Henian said, "Wangye, I believe that Qing Zhu made this move to test the Wangye's attitude. This is his usual style. If the Wangye take a step back, he will immediately take a step forward. If the Wangye insist, then forget it. In any case, he won't lose anything. It's just that he didn't expect the four Wangye to react so strongly this time."
Kou Zheng nodded silently and then asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with resolving the grudge between Niu Youde and the others?"
Tang Henian stroked his beard. "This is a method we came up with by chance. The Heavenly Palace probably wants to spy on the military situation, so we caught a spy from the Right Monitoring Department, but the spy refused to confess anything. At this time, this old servant didn't dare to be careless, so I was going to see for myself what was going on before making a conclusion. However, at the prison gate, I overheard the spy and the jailer's casual remarks. Although they were mocking the Wangye, I have to admit that they hit the nail on the head."
