Ignoring their reactions, Yuan Gang, who had recovered his energy, came to his senses.
Feng Guaner seemed to recall something and said, "Luo Zhao has led the Qin army to the Kingdom of Qi."
Speaking of this, Feng Guaner felt guilty. She nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "I heard. I know you helped him."
Yuan Gang said, "Before I left, Luo Zhao asked me to tell you something. He asked me to tell you that you don't owe him anything anymore. "
Feng Guaner found this familiar. She recalled what the man said to her on the cliff. But he meant that Yuan Gang didn't owe her anything anymore.
What else could she say? She bit her lip and nodded slightly.
It was inappropriate for outsiders to listen in on private matters. Zhao Xiongge was quite self-aware and pulled Nantian Wufang's sleeve.
Nantian Wufang understood and left with him.
After exiting the stone chamber, Nantian Wufang followed Zhao Xiongge like a shadow. He entered Zhao Xiongge's room and quickly closed the door. Then, he quickly moved in front of Zhao Xiongge and pointed outside. "Recovered? That's it? What's going on? Why is it like a dream? Why does it feel unreal? "
Zhao Xiongge didn't know what was going on. He wanted to know.
For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it to him. But he remembered Niu Youdao's instructions about taking advantage of the situation. He put on a meaningful expression. "I don't know. But … now you should know why he's the man the Saintess has been waiting for, right? You should believe me now, right? "
Nantian Wufang was silent. Finally, she nodded slightly and said, "The ceremony to pay respects to the Son of Saint is being arranged. It will start soon."
…
With the intervention of the Qin army in the war between Jin and Qi, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically. The Jin army was facing the pressure of fighting on two fronts.
However, facing the Jin army's unhurried momentum, the Qi army and the Qin army were also under great pressure. Especially since the Jin army's strength was gradually increasing, the Qi army and the Qin army couldn't gain any advantage in terms of military strength.
After meeting with Huyan Wuhen, Luo Zhao agreed with Huyan Wuhen's battle plan. Huyan Wuhen led the Qi army to distract the main force of the Jin army while the Qin army waited for an opportunity to invade the interior of the former State of Wei and wreak havoc on the granaries. This would not give the Gao Pin the chance to slowly and steadily manage the granaries of the State of Wei and prepare for a protracted battle.
As long as this strategic goal was achieved, the Jin Nation would not be able to maintain a large combat force for long.
There was nothing that could be done. The intervention of the Qin army had both advantages and disadvantages for the State of Qi.
The Qin Kingdom did not have much to offer. Currently, the Qin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom were relying on the Qi Kingdom to supply the war resources. Xi Ping Pass was also under the control of the Jin Kingdom, and the other countries were obviously watching from the sidelines. There was no way they could receive any other support.
In order to maintain such a huge military force, the internal affairs of the Qi Kingdom were also very tight.
The Qin Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom quickly mobilized their troops. A great war was about to break out at any moment …
In the capital of Jin Nation, there was a royal manor given by Emperor Taishu Xiong. It was also the location of the Imperial College.
On the old building of the manor, there was a large scale reconstruction going on. Shao Pingbo, who was holding the blueprints, mingled with the craftsmen and discussed the reconstruction matters.
A carriage arrived, and Taishu Huan 'er, who was already dressed like a married woman, got out of the carriage with a sweet smile on her face. She personally brought over some snacks that she had made herself.
Shao Sansheng accompanied her, and Shao Pingbo could tell that Shao Sansheng had something to tell him. After talking to Taishu Huan 'er for a while, he sent him away.
Shao Sansheng did not leave. After the carriage left, he took out a piece of news from his sleeve and handed it to Shao Pingbo.
Shao Pingbo had the advantage of being in such a situation. He was much more at ease and also had private contact with some of the cultivation sects in Jin Nation, which made it easier for him to inquire about the news of the cultivation world.
"The successor of the Fiend Cult?"
Shao Pingbo was dumbfounded after reading the news.
The ceremony of the Fiend Cult worshipping the successor in the Demon Ridge had already spread throughout the cultivation world.
Shao Sansheng said, "Eldest Young Master, there should be no mistake."
Shao Pingbo frowned and said, "Didn't Yuan Gang get captured and sent to the Saint realm because he talked back to the Peerless Saint Venerable? How did he become the successor of the Fiend Cult in the blink of an eye? "
Shao Sansheng said, "I don't know what's going on. The cultivation world is also quite surprised about this and doesn't seem to be very clear about it. Eldest Young Master, Yuan Gang is the trusted subordinate of Niu Youdao. Now that he has become the successor of the Fiend Cult, will he harm you in the future? "
Shao Pingbo shook his head slightly and said, "He's all brawn and no brains. He's just a martial artist. Niu Youdao is dead, so there's nothing to worry about. What I find strange now is … "
After pondering for a while, he muttered, "The relationship between the Saintess and Zhao Xiongge, Zhao Xiongge and the Thatched Cottage Villa, and Yuan Gang of the Thatched Cottage Villa has become the successor. It's already surprising that Yuan Gang could leave the Saint realm alive. How did he become the successor of the Fiend Cult? I've been paying attention to the Thatched Cottage Villa for many years. This doesn't seem to be something that Yuan Gang can do. Why do I feel that something is wrong? "
"Yuan Gang can't do it …" Shao Sansheng asked tentatively, "Eldest Young Master, do you still have some doubts that Niu Youdao is not dead?"
Shao Pingbo waved his hand and said, "In the past, I was a little perturbed. According to some signs and the situation in Nanzhou that was quickly stabilizing the situation, I always felt a little uneasy. Now that this has happened, I'm relieved. Think about it, if Niu Youdao was still alive, how could he let Yuan Gang go to the Boundless Desert and use the Sand Scorpion to help Qin transport troops? "
"Through this, we can be sure that Niu Youdao is indeed dead."
Shao Sansheng nodded and said, "Eldest Young Master is right."
Shao Pingbo turned around and said, "Old Shao, try to contact the shopkeeper and ask him if he knows what's going on."
…
Outside the pavilion, a golden wing landed on the crossbar under the eaves and cooed.
Inside the pavilion, Yun Ji, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened her eyes and got up to open the door. She came out and took out a secret letter from the tube at the feet of the golden wing.
She returned to the room and opened the secret letter. She sat down in front of the table and took out a brush to translate the secret letter word by word.
She put down the brush and got up to leave. She went downstairs and opened a secret passage downstairs.
After entering the secret passage, she woke up Niu Youdao who was in the middle of cultivation and handed the secret letter to him.
After reading the contents of the letter, Niu Youdao's face was filled with astonishment. Soon after, he smiled as though he was relieved. "The universe is vast and full of wonders indeed."
The letter was sent by Zhao Xiongge. He described the miracles of Yuan Gang's body and said that Yuan Gang had recovered.
Yun Ji did not know what had happened, but she was amazed to know that Yuan Gang had been rescued from the hands of the Nine Saints.
She was also secretly amazed by Niu Youdao's means and ability to rescue people from the hands of the Nine Saints.
Because she had witnessed a series of events, she had more confidence in Niu Youdao.
At this moment, another person came in through the door. Guan Fangyi came in and said, "A man and a woman alone in a room. Be careful not to ignite the dry wood."
Yun Ji ignored it and pretended not to hear it. She also noticed that ever since she was by Niu Youdao's side, Guan Fangyi's words always had a hint of sarcasm.
Niu Youdao said, "Don't look for trouble."
Guan Fangyi said, "How can I disturb you if I have nothing to do? There is something, Prince and the others are here. They are at my place and want to see you."
Niu Youdao did not like her sarcasm and got up to leave.
The two women followed behind. Guan Fangyi suddenly said to Yun Ji, "Did something happen again? Why do I feel that this guy's eyes are always looking at me obediently recently?"
Yun Ji did not say anything.
Niu Youdao who was walking in front of her muttered to himself, "Did it happen recently?"
Through the secret passage, they came out of Guan Fangyi's room and saw Shang Chaozong, Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting waiting in the room.
"Daoye!" The three of them cupped their hands in greeting.
Niu Youdao gestured for them not to be overly courteous. He approached and asked, "May I know why Prince is looking for me?"
The three of them looked at each other. Shang Chaozong probed, "We heard some rumors that Yuan Gang has become the Devil Sect's Holy Son and was worshiped by the Devil Sect's followers in the Demon Ridge. Is this true?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's true, there is no mistake. Why, why did this matter disturb the three of you? "
The three of them looked at each other again. This time, it was Lan Ruoting who cupped his hands in greeting. "Daoye, didn't I hear that Yuan Gang was captured by the Saint State?"
Niu Youdao said, "Yes, he was captured and he almost lost his life. But I have already rescued him. I temporarily placed him in the Demon Ridge and made him the Devil Sect's Holy Son. This is also my arrangement. Why, is there a problem? "
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were slightly excited. They had offended Lu Wushuang, one of the Nine Saints. This person could actually rescue people from the Saint Realm and even arrange for them to be the Holy Son of the Devil Cult.
Niu Youdao said this intentionally. As a leader, it was necessary to give the necessary confidence to his subordinates.
Meng Shanming hesitated and said, "It's not that we have any objections to Daoye's arrangement. It's just that this matter involves the Devil Sect. I can't help but think of many years ago. Zhao Xiongge of the Shangqing Sect was involved with the Devil Sect and caused a lot of trouble. If Yuan Gang returns with the title of the Devil Sect's Holy Son, I don't know how to deal with him. I would like to ask Daoye for advice."
Niu Youdao smiled faintly. "Commander Meng, you're overthinking. Many of the things that happened back then were just the surface. Anyway, the situation behind it is very complicated. It's not what you see. "Also, Yuan Gang will stay in the Demon Ridge. I won't let him come back until the right opportunity comes. Even if he comes back, I have my own countermeasures. You don't have to worry."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Oh right, Commander Meng, now that Qin's army has entered Qi and the two armies are fighting together, do you think the allied army can win? How long will it take for the war to end? "
He needed to consult a professional so that he could make a judgment on what to do next.
Slowly, Meng Shanming said, "The Qin army has entered Qi. If it's too late, I'm afraid it won't help. I didn't realize it before, but according to the recent military situation of the high-ranked soldiers, I realized that Qi must have fallen into their trap! "
Niu Youdao said, "Oh, why do you say so?"
Meng Shanming said, "According to the current military situation of both sides, we can basically be sure that Jin didn't plan to fight with Qi at all. It's just that Jin made such a big move that even I, a bystander, was confused. "This must be the high-ranked's plan. They want to subdue the enemy without fighting!"
"Previously, when the Great Jin State pretended to launch a large-scale attack on the Qi State's western front, it was actually a ruse. They were using the power of the entire country to intimidate the Qi State's imperial court. Under the pressure, the Qi State's imperial court fell for their trap, forcing Huyan Wuhen to withdraw his troops."
