Guan Fangyi reminded, "I didn't want to hide it for a lifetime. I only wanted to hide it from Qing 'er after her marriage. Now that you've messed things up, it's all over!"
Niu Youdao said, "Woman's view!"
Guan Fangyi said, "Yes, I'm a woman's view. It's because I'm a woman that I understand women better. You really don't feel guilty at all? "
Niu Youdao was a little angry, "Don't drag me into this!"
Guan Fangyi hooked her index finger at his heart, but it was slapped away by Niu Youdao. However, she wasn't angry. "Wang Xiao, if you really feel guilty, why don't you atone for your sins by meritorious deeds? You might as well marry her." She turned around and left after she finished speaking.
Before Niu Youdao could scold her, she quickly ran away. He turned around and saw Yun Ji's playful expression. Yun Ji's face darkened immediately.
Yun Ji immediately said, "It's good that you can deny it."
"Hehe!" Niu Youdao was amused and nodded. He realized that the world had changed. One by one, they dared to provoke him. He pointed, "All of you, are you bullying me because I'm hiding my identity and don't dare to get angry? Are you all thinking of rebelling? Do you think I can't deal with all of you? "
Yun Ji was very calm. She turned around and guarded the window, pretending not to hear anything. She softly hummed a tune that she had been humming recently, "The mountains don't speak, between the seas …"
Regardless of whether Niu Youdao admitted that Shang Shuqing's matter was related to him or not, the series of things that were really related to him had already begun.
In the Jinzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, Li Wuhua returned travel-worn. Hai Ruyue heard the news and came out to greet him. She asked the moment she saw him, "You could have just sent a message. Why did you have to go personally? What's the opinion of Ten Thousand Grottoes Mansion? "
The so-called opinion was because Shang Chaozong had sent a secret envoy to her, requesting Jinzhou to cooperate with Nanzhou's military operation. He wanted the two states to work together to mobilize troops to put pressure on Purple Golden Cave. This was to help Shang Chaozong negotiate with Purple Golden Cave.
Li Wuhua had sent a message to the Ten Thousand Grottoes Manor to seek their opinion. Unexpectedly, the Ten Thousand Grottoes Manor's reply was to ask Li Wuhua to go back as soon as possible.
"Let's go in first." Li Wuhua raised his hand and gestured for them to go in.
The couple quickly went to the inner residence. After entering a quiet cultivation room, Li Wuhua sighed. "Mobilize the army and coordinate with Nanzhou's operation!"
Hai Ruyue was surprised, "The sect agreed?"
Li Wuhua looked around and whispered in her ear, "I have no choice but to agree! Do you know why I'm being sent back? It's because there are some things that I dare not mention in the letter! Sect Leader had previously received a secret letter from an unknown person. The letter mentioned the secret of the Crimson Sun Vermillion Fruit, and the letter listed the evidence clearly! "
Hai Ruyue was startled, "You mean the Southern State is playing tricks?"
Li Wuhua: "I don't know exactly who is behind this, but who else could ask us to cooperate with the mobilization of Southern State's troops other than Southern State? Ai, looks like Niu Youdao's death didn't take away that secret. "
…
Purple Golden Cave, Dormant Tortoise Pavilion.
Sect Leader Gong Lince and several Elders who stayed behind gathered in the pavilion. Two people were missing.
Yan Li had left and was taken to the Saint Territory by the people of Misty Pavilion. Elder Yuan An had gone to Southern State to discuss.
The other two Supreme Elders who stayed behind also came. Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai sat cross-legged on both sides of Zhong Guzi with solemn expressions, facing the group of people sitting below.
Zhong Guzi still closed his eyes and did not speak. Gong Lince announced the purpose of gathering everyone.
What was the purpose? Zhong Guzi felt that his lifespan was approaching its limit. His body was too fragile and could no longer maintain normal physiological functions. He wanted to enter the last great closed-door cultivation to recover. If he could survive, he might be able to live for another two years. If not, this might be the last time he saw everyone.
After explaining the purpose, Gong Lince finally announced, "During Elder Zhong's closed-door cultivation, no one is allowed to approach Dormant Tortoise Pavilion without permission. No one is allowed to disturb Elder Zhong's closed-door cultivation. Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished according to the sect rules!"
The silent crowd, including the other two Supreme Elders, all accepted the order in unison. "Yes!"
Gong Lince then looked at Zhong Guzi, "Martial Uncle Zhong, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhong Guzi slowly opened his eyes and said in a weathered voice, "One's lifespan is determined by the heavens and cannot be resisted. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The past events are still vivid in my mind. Gratitude and resentment, right and wrong, right and wrong, karma has all returned to nothingness. What other instructions do I have? Two Junior Brothers, I may not be able to live past this year. I will bid farewell first. Take care! "
Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai's faces were filled with grief. They bowed their heads and said, "Take care, Senior Brother!"
The two of them were truly moved. Not too many years later, the two of them would also reach this step. They had the feeling of the fox mourning the death of the rabbit.
Ju An, who was guarding outside the door, silently shed tears.
Zhong Guzi said, "Sect Leader, please stay. The rest of you can leave."
"Yes!" The elders stood up and respectfully cupped their hands and left step by step.
Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai were reluctant to leave. Zhong Guzi sighed and said, "Go!"
After everyone left, Zhong Guzi nodded slightly to Gong Lince.
Gong Lince looked outside the door and approached Zhong Guzi. He leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, Martial Uncle. Everything has been arranged."
Zhong Guzi also whispered, "I will try it first to see if I can succeed. So what if it takes a long time? After I have experience, I can provide reference for the Sect Leader!"
"Thank you, Martial Uncle!" Gong Lince nodded slightly. This was what he needed. Although he had the Immeasurable Fruit, no one in the entire Purple Golden Cave had the experience of using the Immeasurable Fruit. He did not know how long it would take to break through using the Immeasurable Fruit. This was very important to him.
Purple Golden Cave could not be without a leader for a day. He was the Purple Golden Cave's Sect Leader, so it was not appropriate for him to disappear for too long. Moreover, it was troubled times. Therefore, it was very important to know the approximate time.
Zhong Guzi said, "Go."
Gong Lince stepped back. He cupped his hands and bowed, then turned around and strode away.
Outside the door, he waved his hand to signal. Immediately, disciples came in one after another, carrying vats of clear water and a box of panaceas.
During this closed-door training, Zhong Guzi would not have food from the outside world. He had almost completely entered a state of fasting, so he needed these supplements.
When all the disciples came out, Gong Lince gave the order, "Seal!"
Creak! The heavy door of the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion was closed, locked, and sealed.
Then, Gong Lince led everyone to stand neatly and cupped their hands three times!
After everything was done, the guards outside were strengthened to prevent anyone from disturbing Zhong Guzi.
As soon as Gong Lince and the others reached the foot of the mountain, an urgent message was sent to Yin Yide. After reading it, Yin Yide reported to Gong Lince, "Sect Leader, there is news from the Southern State that they had a discussion with Shang Chaozong. Shang Chaozong has made an excessive request!"
Gong Lince was expressionless, "Speak!"
Yin Yide said, "Elder Yuan reported that Shang Chaozong wants the people of Thatched Cottage Courtyard to stay in the Southern State and asked for the return of the birds and mounts of Thatched Cottage Courtyard!"
Fu Junrang angrily said, "Are you kidding me? This is an agreement with Niu Youdao before his death. What do you mean by Thatched Cottage Courtyard going back on their words? Those birds and mounts were also given by them, but now they want them back. This is simply outrageous. If I knew this, I wouldn't have let them leave the Purple Golden Cave alive! "
Gong Lince asked, "Anything else?"
Yin Yide nodded. "Also, Elder Yuan found out that the people of Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain have arrived at the Southern Region Prefecture. They seem to want to take the opportunity to pry into our Purple Golden Cave. In addition, Shang Chaozong has issued a military order in advance. The people of the Southern Region have shown an abnormal movement, and the people of the Golden Region have also been mobilized. "
"Looking at the situation of the two, there are two possibilities. First, Shang Chaozong has shown an attitude of not caring about the cost. As long as our Purple Golden Cave dares to make a move on him, once there is a change in the Southern Region, the people of the Southern Region are likely to urgently withdraw to the Golden Region, and the people of the Golden Region are preparing to receive them. Second, the people of the two regions seem to have the possibility of joining forces to attack the Light Region. The Sect Leader of the Great Zen Mountain, Huang Lie, is very nervous. He has already rushed to the Southern Region Prefecture to meet with Elder Yuan. "
Mo Lingxue sneered, "What a good Shang Chaozong, do you really think that we don't dare to kill him? Sect Leader, in my opinion, we should quickly send people to wipe out all the people of Thatched Cottage Courtyard. Once the people of Thatched Cottage Courtyard are gone, I want to see who else he would negotiate for! "
Gong Lince squinted his eyes and said, "What if Shang Chaozong really doesn't care about the cost? Kill him? I'm afraid Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain would be eager for us to do that. What about after we kill him? The people of the Golden Region are nominally ours, but in fact, they are under the control of Elder Niu before he was alive. The main people are not under our control. Once we kill Shang Chaozong, it will lead to a mutiny in the Southern Region. If they join forces with the people of the Golden Region to attack the Light Region, Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain will certainly be happy to see it and will certainly support them. Do you know what the consequences are? "
"In the blink of an eye, the Southern Region is gone, the Golden Region is gone, and the Light Region is also going to be lost. You should know the importance of the Shang people to us. This is the key to us holding the Yan clan's voice. Do you think it's worthwhile to lose the three regions and the Yan clan's voice? "
Mo Lingxue was speechless.
Gong Lince just said, "Inform Elder Yuan, we'll talk!"
No matter how they talked, they couldn't come up with any new ideas. The Purple Golden Cave had Gong Lince, a big "traitor" to control the overall situation, so the result could be imagined.
…
At the Western Screen Pass, a group of people of the Jin State arrived. The supply channel for the Western Screen Pass was finally opened by the Jin State army!
"General Chang!"
"General Yin, you've worked hard!"
Yin Chu and the general from the Jin State laughed heartily and hugged each other happily.
After the two of them released each other, General Chang pulled Yin Chu's arm and pointed to the vast amount of supplies behind them. "General Yin, please take a look. My Jin State has meticulously forged 200,000 strong bows, 3,000,000 sharp arrows, and 200,000 Jin State disciples. I've sent them to you! I'll also send you another 10,000 carts of rations! "
"Good, good, good!" Yin Chu was so happy that tears streamed down his cheeks. Only he knew how hard it was for him to defend this place alone against the Qin army's attack.
General Chang patted his back. "Don't be so happy. Also, please take a look! I've brought over 5,000 cultivators from the Jin State to help you, General! "
Yin Chu was shocked. "Right now, the Jin State's cultivators are in a tight spot. If they were to transfer these to me, wouldn't the main battlefield be tense?"
General Chang waved his hand. "Don't worry. Many people from the Wei State have sided with our Jin State. Similarly, many cultivation sects have sided with us. Western Screen Pass is a strategic stronghold. In order to help you defend it, the commander-in-chief of the Jin State has not hesitated to keep the sects that have sided with you. Instead, he has transferred some of our Jin State's most reliable disciples to you. General, do not disappoint the commander-in-chief! "
Yin Chu replied, "General Chang, please tell the commander-in-chief that with these reinforcements, I, Yin Chu, can defend Western Screen Pass for another year!"
"Alright!"
…
The situation of the war was getting worse for the Wei State. However, the intelligence agencies of the Wei State and the Qi State were not to be trifled with. News of the former Western Screen Pass General Chen Changgong's death was eventually leaked out, causing quite a commotion.
After reading all the news, Niu Youdao paced back and forth in the pavilion, mumbling to himself, "Where exactly is that fellow?"
Sitting on top of a pile of documents, Guan Fangyi held a pear in her hand and chewed on it. She asked casually, "Who?"
Niu Youdao did not answer anyone. He looked at her with a faint smile and said, "During this period of time, Shao Pingbo has been making a lot of moves. It's really satisfying. I want to add flowers to his brocade and give him a big gift. What do you think?"
"Big gift?" Guan Fangyi was disdainful and extremely doubtful. "You can add flowers to his brocade?"
"Give him a wife!" Niu Youdao raised his hand and pointed at the report on the table. He joked, "Tai-shu Huan 'er! He has made great contributions to the Jin State. If he marries the Seventh Princess of the Jin State, the beloved daughter of the Jin Emperor, to him, isn't this a big gift? "
"Tai-shu Huan 'er? Chen Changgong's … "Guan Fangyi spat out the pear meat in her mouth after she came to her senses. She widened her eyes and said," Really? Shao Pingbo can marry Tai-shu Huan 'er? "
