"So you sent troops to the Red Cliff through the bamboo path?"
Nangong Xun scolded, "What's wrong with your brain? That's Emperor Tian Huang's Yellow City. It's fine if you sent people, but how dare you send a battle team? Do you want the Five Great Emperors to destroy my Nangong family?"
Elder Cheng's face was green and red, but he still said, "Didn't Xiao Xian send the Jie Chong battle team? If I don't send a battle team, how can I deal with his Jie Chong battle team? "
"The problem is ~"
Nangong Xun sneered and asked, "What about Xiao Xian? What about the Jie Chong battle team? "
"You sent a battle team to surround the Red Cliff, but you didn't even see Xiao Hua's shadow. You didn't even get a single strand of hair from the Jie Chong battle team. Instead, you were scolded by Emperor Tian Huang and Emperor Tian Huang …"
Elder Cheng was speechless.
Nangong Xun looked at Elder Cheng for a long while before speaking in a slow voice, "Elder Cheng, I know you're trying to test Emperor Chi Di's attitude, and you're also trying to give Emperor Tian Huang a handle on our Nangong Family so that we can avoid this calamity …"
Elder Cheng was shocked. He looked at Nangong Xun and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Because in his impression, Nangong Xun had always been self-opinionated and unscrupulous. Nangong Shiru only had 30% of his arrogance. Who would have thought that Nangong Xun could see through his plan!
"What?"
Nangong Xun smiled and said faintly, "Could it be that I'm so unbearable in Elder Cheng's eyes? I can't even see through this little scheme of yours? "
"This old man knows his mistake ~"
Elder Cheng didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "This old man should have sent a message to Family Head when he was in seclusion."
"Alright, alright ~"
Nangong Xun helped Elder Cheng up and said, "Do you think I don't know your plan? You want to take the responsibility yourself. Even if Emperor Tian Huang wants to punish you, I can use the reason of seclusion ~ "
"Thank you for your understanding ~"
Elder Cheng looked at Nangong Xun seriously again and said carefully, "This old man will definitely tell Family Head all my plans in the future."
"Yes, as long as you understand why I'm angry!"
Nangong Xun said calmly, "Your decision to send troops may seem like a foolish one, but it has a profound purpose. Firstly, it shows the Nangong Family's attitude and saves us some face. Secondly, it calls for Emperor Tian Huang's reprimand and lessens Emperor Chi Di's punishment. However, I'm a little confused. How do you know that Emperor Chi Di will fly into a rage if Emperor Tian Huang reprimands him?"
"Reporting to Patriarch, this matter is very simple …"
Elder Cheng said proudly, "The Five Great Emperors govern five cities, so how could they be as harmonious as brothers? If Emperor Tian Huang wants to do something, then the other four emperors are most likely going to oppose him! "
"It may seem risky, but there aren't many of them, so they won't pose much of a threat. Emperor Tian Huang won't fly into a rage, but he'll definitely make his stance clear."
"Since Emperor Tian Huang has reprimanded my Nangong Family, Emperor Chi Di might not be able to maintain his dignity. Emperor Chi Di might be wondering why Emperor Tian Huang reprimanded my battle team. Therefore, His Majesty's punishment may be changed. "
"Sigh ~"
Nangong Xun heaved a faint sigh upon hearing this. "Elder Cheng, you're still taking things for granted. How do you know that Emperor Tian Huang will reprimand you? How could Emperor Tian Huang not know how many battle teams you've sent out? "
"Isn't there Xiao Hua and Xiao Wenheng?"
Elder Cheng asked with a confident expression. "The only Xiao Wenheng in the Heavenly Court is Xiao Wenheng. We've made it clear that we're going to vent our anger on Xiao Wenheng, so why wouldn't Emperor Tian Huang protect us? If he doesn't say anything, wouldn't that disappoint all of the Confucian Immortals participating in the Tian Qi Selection? "
"Hmm, that's one reason!"
Nangong Xun didn't refute this. Instead, he said, "But I don't think it's that simple."
"That's right!"
A perplexed expression appeared on Elder Cheng's face. "In my opinion, my Nangong Family's battle team would be chased away by Emperor Tian Huang's battle team. After that, both Emperor Tian Huang and His Majesty would send people to search the red cliff. After all, one of them is Xiao Hua and the other is His Majesty's descendant, Ying Huo! However, neither of the two Majesties made a move, which made this old servant very confused! "
"It's actually quite simple ~"
Nangong Xun said with a smile, "On the surface, it looks like Shi Ru made a huge mistake, but if we look at the root of it, it's Ying Huo who eloped with someone first. Shi Ru only lost her mind, but His Majesty has lost all face. Why would he go and search for Ying Huo?
"Also, the Red Cliff Minor Heavenly Realm is related to the Sage Getian Clan. Xiao Hua's disappearance and the eighty-one Dragon Wells are related to the Sage Getian Clan. Emperor Tian Huang knows about this, so he wouldn't do anything unless he was completely confident."
"What?"
Elder Cheng was shocked. "The Red Cliff Minor Heavenly Realm is related to the Sage Getian Clan? This … "
Elder Cheng then came to a realization. "No wonder. Since Xiao Hua has fallen into the Sage Getian Clan's trap, there's no hope for him to come out. That's why Emperor Tian Huang decided to ignore him."
"That's right ~"
Nangong Xun then gritted his teeth and looked at Nangong Zixu, "This is also the reason why I want to punish this dog of a Sage. Even the Five Great Emperors don't dare to do anything, but he didn't stop Shi Ru. Instead, he used the power of the Nangong Family to find a manual from the Heavenly Palace's library and gave it to Shi Ru. If this isn't instigation, then what is it?"
Of course, Elder Cheng knew how arrogant Nangong Zixu was. How could Nangong Zixu stop him from doing what he wanted to do?
Just when Elder Cheng was about to say something nice for Nangong Zixu, Nangong Xun spat out a ball of fire from his mouth and nose onto Nangong Zixu's deformed body. Nangong Xun then said coldly, "Since you are so loyal, then die with Shi Ru!"
"Ahhhh ~"
Nangong Zixu wailed in the fire, and after struggling for half an hour, his body turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
Elder Cheng was a little scared, but he didn't show it.
Nangong Xun watched the smoke disappear and said in a cold voice, "The trouble Shi Ru has caused this time is not as simple as you think. And the marriage between the Nangong Family and His Majesty is not … as you think it will be!"
"Sometimes I think, where did Xiao Hua get the courage to take Ying Huo to the Red Cliff? Is His Majesty behind this? "
"Hiss ~"
Elder Cheng sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Nangong Xun in disbelief. "You … are you sure?"
"How can there be evidence for His Majesty's actions?"
Nangong Xun sneered again and said, "But if you think about it carefully after the incident, how can you not find any clues?"
