Yuan Cong grunted in acknowledgment. He was a man of few words.
After spending some time together, Jia Wuqun could tell that this Yuan Cong was just like him, a mute. They both rarely spoke.
Niu Youdao cupped his hands and bade farewell. Yuan Cong waved his hand, and a flying beast swooped down from the sky.
Yuan Cong grabbed Jia Wuqun's arm and gave him a gentle push. The two of them landed on the flying beast and took off into the sky.
Niu Youdao looked up at the sky and sent them off.
Guan Fangyi parted the curtain and asked, "Are you going to let him fight with Shao Pingbo like this? Isn't this a little too hasty? "
Niu Youdao chuckled and said, "How can a fish stay in a pond? He will soar into the sky when the wind blows. Soldiers are valued for their quality, not quantity! A crouching dragon has emerged from the mountains! "
Guan Fangyi's eyes flashed. She could see the pride in his laughter, and she could also tell that he had high hopes for Jia Wuqun.
But more than that, she was curious. If Jia Wuqun really had the ability that Daoye admired, he wouldn't have been recruited so easily. However, even though she was by Niu Youdao's side, she didn't understand what was going on. All she saw was Niu Youdao doing things here and there, and inexplicably, Jia Wuqun really came to do things for Daoye.
Up until now, she still couldn't understand why Jia Wuqun was so obedient.
Of course, this was also why she admired Niu Youdao. Regardless of whether he was verbally obedient or not, there were many things that couldn't be done without him at the helm. Even if he explained some things clearly to you, you still wouldn't be able to learn them. You had to admit that there was a huge gap between them.
And Niu Youdao was indeed a little proud of himself. With so many people around him, there was no greater sense of accomplishment in recruiting anyone than recruiting Jia Wuqun.
Step by step, Thatched Cottage Villa had gotten to where it was today, and he was the one who recruited the people.
The monks of Nanshan Temple, Black Peony's group, the entire sect of Mount Wuliang, the people of Fufang Garden, the three sects of Liu Xian Sect, and the demons of Mount Crossing Cloud. Although there were many people, who could really be considered talented?
Some things were not said out loud, but he knew in his heart that he didn't have any talented people around him. They were all mediocre people who were only suitable to follow orders, and it was difficult for them to be independent. The situation of Thatched Cottage Villa's today was all due to his good management.
Towards these people, Niu Youdao didn't ask for anything else other than loyalty and seriousness. He couldn't force them to do anything else.
If one had to say who was a talent, it would be someone like Yuan Gang. As for someone like Yun Ji, she was more suitable to be a bodyguard.
Of course, maybe he was asking too much of himself, but at this point, he couldn't show his face. He had to bring out someone who could take charge. Although Yuan Gang, Guan Fangyi, and the others were reliable, they didn't have the ability to do so. In the face of such a storm, they probably wouldn't even know what would happen if they were thrown out.
…
The chief minister, Jin Lingzan, hurried into the Royal Guard Army's tent. When he saw Xuan Wei, he immediately cupped his fists and reported, "Your Majesty, this subject has just received news that Song Country's Jia Wuqun has arrived."
The leaders of the three major sects, who were discussing business with Xuan Wei, all turned around to look.
"Which Jia Wuqun?" Luo Yanzhen asked.
Xuan Wei chimed in, "Is it Jia Wuqun from Premier Song's Mansion?"
Jin Lingzan nodded. "Your Majesty, it is indeed Jia Wuqun."
The head of the Void Spirit Manor, Chang Linxian, nodded. "You're that Jia Wuzi who ran to the Misty Pavilion to spout nonsense and had his tongue pulled out by the Misty Pavilion?"
Jin Lingzan smiled. "It's him."
Everyone looked at each other, and Xuan Wei asked curiously, "What is he doing here?"
Jin Lingzan said, "His Majesty is not here to pay a visit. According to reports, he might be passing by and is now heading to the Song Nation's envoy group."
Now that the Wei Nation's capital had been abandoned, the envoys of the various countries had to follow the abandoned Wei Nation's imperial court. It was rather tiring. However, they had no choice. At this point, they had to pay more attention to the Wei Nation's situation. They could not abandon it.
Of course, the envoys were not afraid of the threat to their lives because of the war. Wars between two nations would not go so far as to kill envoys of other nations.
Chang Linxian said, "Is a servant of the Zi Mansion worth Lord Jin coming here personally to report?"
Jin Lingzan said, "Sect Leader Chang, this person is not a servant. He is more like a consecrator of the Zi Mansion. Rumor has it that he is the 'Hidden Minister' behind the Prime Minister of the Song Nation, Zi Pingxiu. Zi Pingxiu's influence in the Song Nation's imperial court is not small. It can be seen from how Zi Pingxiu overturned the Mu Family. Rumor has it that this Jia Wuqun is quite influential to Zi Pingxiu. It is not easy for outsiders to see this person. If we can convince him to influence the Song Nation's imperial court, it is impossible for the Song Nation to send reinforcements. However, it is possible for them to send more cultivators. "
"Also, he is now at the Song Nation's envoys. It is very likely that he is here to inquire about the war situation. His attitude may have a certain impact on the Song Nation."
Xuan Wei nodded and said, "I have paid attention to the name of this' Hidden Minister '. However, he is a reclusive person and there is little news about him. However, this person is treated with respect by Zi Pingxiu for so many years. He should not be a simple person. Since he is here, I should pay him a visit personally!"
The moment they heard that it was someone who could be of help to Wei Guo, the sect leaders of the three great sects immediately became alert. Right now, they could be said to be drowning people. Even if it was a straw that floated past, they would not hesitate to grab it. They immediately followed Xuan Wei to pay their respects.
However, before they saw the person, there was already a misunderstanding.
"Stop! Who is it? "
Jia Wuqun led Yuan Cong and was walking around the military camp. Suddenly, they were stopped by the Shangqing Sect's disciple on duty. The person who stopped them was Wei Duo.
The person who was walking around did not make a sound. Wei Duo shouted, "The military camp is not a place for people to stroll around. Answer me, who is it?"
Jia Wuqun still did not make a sound.
Coincidentally, Xuan Wei and the others arrived. Jin Lingzan was pointing at Jia Wuqun, indicating that the person was Jia Wuqun.
Yuan Cong noticed the arrival of a group of people from the corner of his eyes. He immediately said, "Mister, it is not convenient for you to speak."
Wei Duo shouted, "What do you mean it is not convenient for you to speak? Are you mute?"
As soon as he said this, the people who accompanied him were shocked. Wasn't Jia Wuqun a mute? This fellow was exposing others' shortcomings.
Tang Yi, who came with him, was even more shocked. She shouted, "Senior Brother, don't be rude!" She dashed out and pulled Wei Duo back.
Wei Duo pointed at Jia Wuqun and said, "Sect Leader, this person looks unfamiliar. He is wandering around and not answering our questions. I'm afraid he is a spy!"
"Don't be rude!" Xuan Wei, who quickly walked over, also shouted. She smiled and asked, "May I ask if you are Mister Jia Wuqun from the Song Nation?"
At this moment, the people from the Wei Nation's envoy group ran over. Previously, Jia Wuqun had said that he was just taking a look and did not allow them to follow.
Previously, they were far away and did not know what had happened. When they saw Xuan Wei, they immediately ran over to introduce Jia Wuqun.
After learning that it was the Wei Nation's Empress, Jia Wuqun cupped his hands in greeting and still did not say a word.
The Song Nation's envoy immediately explained, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Mister Jia is not feeling well and cannot speak."
Xuan Wei smiled and said, "I understand. This is not a place for communication. Mister Jia, please move to the King's tent for a chat. "
Jia Wuqun shook his head. The people from the Wei Nation immediately felt awkward. It was not easy to communicate!
Jin Lingzan immediately moved to the side of the Song Nation's envoy and asked in a low voice, "How does Mister Jia communicate with people normally?"
Unexpectedly, Jia Wuqun suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Wei Duo. Then, he retracted his hand and wrote on Yuan Cong's back. Yuan Cong immediately stared at Wei Duo and said, "I happen to be lacking an errand boy. Since fate has brought you together, you can follow me from now on."
Everyone was stunned. They could all tell that this person was speaking for Jia Wuqun.
Feelings could speak, but he did not reply to Xuan Wei. It was clear that he did not take Xuan Wei seriously.
Others did not say anything, but Ximen Qingkong's face turned cold.
Tang Yi was stunned. What kind of joke was this? A disciple of the Shangqing Sect running errands for you?
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Jia Wuqun patted Yuan Cong's shoulder lightly. Yuan Cong immediately stepped forward and said, "Follow me." He walked to the front of Wei Duo and stretched out his hand to grab him.
Suddenly, a hand appeared from the side and blocked Yuan Cong's arm. It was Ximen Qingkong.
First, he was annoyed at the other party's rudeness. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Wei Duo. Back in the Heaven Capital Mystery Land, they had spent almost a year together. It was he who had taught Wei Duo to stutter. The other party clearly pointed out that he wanted Wei Duo because Wei Duo had made a slip of the tongue and called him a mute. If Wei Duo went, he would not have a good ending.
Now, the other party actually wanted to take Wei Duo away in front of Xuan Wei. How could Ximen Qingkong just sit back and watch?
Both of their arms collided. Yuan Cong swept a cold glance at Ximen Qingkong and stared at each other.
Someone actually tried to stop him? Jia Wuqun's eyes flashed. He had been warned by Niu Youdao not to expose Yuan Cong's strength unless it was absolutely necessary.
He initially thought that someone would stop him with words. He did not expect to meet someone who tried to stop him by force. However, there was a reason why Niu Youdao asked him to come out of seclusion. It was just a small matter. He had his own ways to deal with it. He raised his hand and gave Yuan Cong a light pat.
Yuan Cong shook his arm and shook Ximen Qingkong's arm away. Then, he immediately backed away.
Ximen Qingkong's eyes flashed with uncertainty. He quickly retreated to Xuan Wei's side. It was obvious that he was guarding her.
The Sect Leaders of the three great sects were naturally aware of this. Ximen Qingkong was a prideful person. The fact that he was able to keep quiet and act as if he was facing a formidable enemy immediately made the cultivators present realize that Jia Wuqun's entourage was not as simple as he seemed!
Yuan Cong backed away. Jia Wuqun's finger landed on his back again. Yuan Cong turned to Envoy Song and said, "I want this person! You are in charge of negotiating with Wei Guo. If you can't get him, don't return to Song Country! "
Jia Wuqun put down his hand and turned to leave. Yuan Cong turned and left as well.
"Yes!" Envoy Song awkwardly cupped his hands and accepted the order. He really did not dare to offend this' Minister Concealment '. It was impossible for him to appoint Envoy Song without Zi Pingxiu's approval. In other words, Zi Pingxiu controlled his future in Song Country.
Xuan Wei, who was watching Envoy Song leave, was furious. She was in a disadvantageous position. Even a mute man did not put her, the monarch of a country, in his eyes.
But what could she do? In order not to let Great Jin Country grow stronger, Song Country had more or less provided Wei Guo with help.
Xuan Wei, who had lost her face, had no choice but to swallow her anger. She turned around and left angrily.
The Sect Masters of the three great sects were also a little angry. The other party's behavior was also showing that he did not put them in his eyes. However, it was still the same thing. They were in a disadvantageous position. It was not the right time to offend Song Country.
"Lord Jin!" Envoy Song approached Jin Lingzan with a smile. He looked like he had a favor to ask.
Jin Lingzan's face was tense.
Xuan Wei, who had returned to the tent, hid her angry expression. She turned around and asked Ximen Qingkong, "Are you alright?"
She had been with Ximen Qingkong for many years. She knew very well what kind of person she was. She could tell that something was wrong when they exchanged blows. Ximen Qingkong's arrogance had been suppressed just then.
