This was not a lie. The eyes and ears all over the world were a network that the Misty Pavilion had gradually built over hundreds of years. This was not something that could be built overnight by a few people. In order to prevent exposure, they were very careful in their development. Many of the eyes and ears had already become the higher-ups of the various sects.
Once this network was destroyed, it would take decades for the Misty Pavilion to rebuild it.
Lu Wushuang said, "I contributed to this. Now that they kicked me out of the game and want to use my contribution against me, I will naturally destroy their rice bowls. If he's crippled, then so be it. It's good for both of us. On this point, our interests are the same. "
Zhuge Chi was shocked. This was a strong counterattack against the Nine Saints. No, now it was the Five Saints.
He had been hiding in the Royal Palace of the State of Zhao for many years and had witnessed with his own eyes how the entire cultivation world trembled in fear in the face of the Nine Saints. For so many years, no one dared to rebel. Now, he saw a group of people who dared to attack the Nine Saints, and he was among them.
…
"Thatched Cottage?" Shao Pingbo, who was by the lotus pond of the Imperial College, suddenly turned his head and asked.
Shao Sansheng said, "Yes. It is said that the conflict between Luo Qiu and Yuan Se started at the Thatched Cottage. After that, the two forces fought and affected the surrounding areas, causing heavy losses in the Southern Prefecture. "
Shao Pingbo was surprised, "Why the Thatched Cottage?"
Seeing his reaction, Shao Sansheng asked, "Young Master, are you still suspicious of Niu Youdao?"
Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered with bewilderment. "Suddenly involving the Thatched Cottage, I feel inexplicably uneasy. I really can't help but think of Niu Youdao. Otherwise, why would Luo Qiu and Yuan Se fight in the Thatched Cottage? Could this be a coincidence?"
He suddenly turned around and said, "Immediately send a message to Jia Wuzi and see if he knows what is going on."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng agreed.
Jia Wuqun replied immediately and told him the reason.
The Six Saints secretly guarded the various countries while Yuan Se was in charge of Yan. Because Yuan Se was a glutton and the food in the Thatched Cottage was the best in the world, Yuan Se had been hiding in the Thatched Cottage. The cause of the incident was that Yuan Se had somehow kidnapped Luo Qiu's daughter, and Luo Qiu had attacked out of anger.
Knowing this, Shao Pingbo's bewildered heart gradually relaxed.
…
Lv Wushuang, who has settled a series of matters appropriately, came back. Niu Youdao invited her to take a seat and asked with a smile: "How is it?"
Now that the Prince's Mansion and the thatched cottage had been destroyed, it would take some time to rebuild. Shang Chaozong had requisitioned a mansion belonging to a wealthy family, and that wealthy family was also willing to contribute. They couldn't wait to have a good relationship with Shang Chaozong, it could be said that they couldn't ask for more.
A group of people from the Thatched Cottage had also arrived. Niu Youdao was among them, but he was still hiding underground, in the tunnel that Yun Ji had temporarily opened up.
Lv Wushuang sat opposite him. "Alright, there shouldn't be any problems. I've also established a communication channel with him, so we can keep in touch at any time."
Niu Youdao laughed: "Alright! As long as the Misty Pavilion's eyes and ears are destroyed, the people in the open are no longer a threat. They will become live targets that can be eradicated at any time. Let's see how the Five Sages are going to investigate further. "
At this moment, Guan Fangyi barged into the secret room. She first nodded at Lv Wushuang, then hurriedly reported: "Daoye, something has happened in Qi."
Something had indeed happened. Although the troops under the Grand Marshal of Jin, Gao Pin, did not move, Gao Pin's actions behind the scenes never stopped, thinking of all kinds of ways to suppress them.
The Qin army was forced to leave their homeland, and faced with a disadvantageous situation, many people were already anxious. Now that Qin's territory was divided between Yan and Han, the Qin army was shaken, and Gao Pin seized the opportunity.
Someone in the Qin army was instigated to defect, and the person in charge of guarding the rations rebelled. With a fire, most of the Qin army's rations were burnt, and they went straight to the Jin army.
By the time the Qin army reacted and mobilized their troops to chase after them, it was already too late!
In this situation where the situation was hopeless, people's hearts changed, and for the sake of self-preservation, anything strange could happen.
In the central hall of a prefectural city, where the Qin army was located, Luo Zhao, who was standing on the marshal's seat, stared coldly at Lu Yuan, the new Pavilion Leader of Waning Moon Pavilion.
Faced with Luo Zhao's questioning, Lu Yuan retorted, "General, you failed to manage the army properly, and you're blaming us instead. What kind of logic is this?"
Luo Zhao was furious. "I've said it before, the rations cannot be taken by others. Waning Moon Pavilion personally sent people to guard the rations. If there were a large number of Waning Moon Pavilion cultivators watching, how could the enemy succeed so easily? The rebel army would not dare to act rashly! "
Of course, the rebel army could not burn the rations without the cooperation of cultivators. In other words, there was a group of Qin cultivators who rebelled, and these people joined forces to kill the people in charge of Waning Moon Pavilion, and then the rebel army could calmly set the rations on fire.
Lu Yuan said in a low voice, "I've already sent an important person to guard the rations, General. It's General's fault for using people inappropriately, you shouldn't have sent that group of people to be in charge of the rations."
Luo Zhao was so angry that he bared his teeth. Bang! He slammed his palm on the table and shouted angrily, "What important person? What do you think Waning Moon Pavilion is? Do you think you can scare people with just a few people? Don't you know what the situation is now? The people's hearts are in turmoil, and no matter which group you send, they will become the target of the Jin army! "
As soon as he said this, the faces of the people in Waning Moon Pavilion changed. The Deputy General hurriedly pulled Luo Zhao's sleeve, but Luo Zhao flung it away.
An Elder said in a low voice, "General, please be careful with your words. We have the right to say these words out of anger, and we won't argue with you. There are some things that General should also know. Because of the turmoil in the people's hearts, Waning Moon Pavilion has to send a large number of people to monitor the army, which is why we are short of manpower. "
Luo Zhao's face turned white with anger, and he almost vomited blood. "Don't you know what's important? In a war, rations are the most important thing. Without rations, it's not a matter of one rebel army, it's a matter of total annihilation! "
The Elder said as a mediator, "General, there is no point in arguing about this now. We should think of another plan."
Luo Zhao sneered, "Another plan? What other plan? What use is there for me to say? I asked you to agree to the conditions of the three major sects of Yuan Wei, but you refused, which led to Gu Yuanda's betrayal, and the situation took a turn for the worse. I asked you to mobilize more people to guard the rations, but you didn't listen and acted on your own, which led to the destruction of the rations. If Mister Yu Cang was still here, he would definitely listen to my suggestion. If it was you, I would be at my wit's end. Whatever you say, I will do it. There is no need to ask for my opinion. "
"General …" The deputy general at the side whispered again. If he were to say something like this, it would be very easy to get himself killed.
Now that things had come to this, Luo Zhao couldn't care less. Some things were like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he had to get it out.
Lu Yuan's face darkened. The Deputy General mentioning Yu Cang was tantamount to saying that he was useless.
Little did he know that he had his own difficulties at that time. Some people were not happy with him becoming the Pavilion Master of Waning Moon Pavilion, but he had agreed to the conditions of the three major sects the moment he took over. Moreover, judging from the situation at that time, there was indeed no need to agree.
As for the rations, he also had his own difficulties. First, he didn't think that the rations could be destroyed so easily. Second, he indeed had to keep an eye on the people below. With the current situation where the people's hearts were in turmoil, it would indeed be embarrassing for him, the new Pavilion Master …
On the Qi army's side, Huyan Wuhen also slammed the table and angrily scolded Luo Zhao for making such a low-level mistake!
The real dilemma was the Qin army. They had more than two million men and horses. Although each division still had some rations, they couldn't hold on for long. Knowing that their rations had been destroyed, each division was even more panicked.
Therefore, people kept secretly contacting the Jin army, intending to seek refuge.
Finally, an elder of the Cloud Tool Sect broke into the Jin army's command center and found Gao Pin. He laughed and said, "Lord Gao, it's settled. The Qin army is willing to surrender. The Waning Moon Pavilion has sent someone to contact me. They are willing to surrender! As for the conditions of the negotiation, I will have to ask Lord Gao to decide. "
Gao Pin threw down the military report in his hand and stood up from behind the table. "Conditions? No conditions! "
The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect was suspicious. "As long as the other side surrenders and the conditions are not too excessive, you can agree to anything?"
Gao Pin smiled faintly and said, "Elder, you think too much. Why would I want them to surrender? If they surrendered earlier, it would be fine. But now, it's too late! I've already given the order. No matter the whole Qin army or any division of the Qin army, they are not to surrender! "
The elder was surprised. "Why is that? Are you trying to annihilate them? "
Gao Pin laughed loudly. "You want to force them into desperation first, and then fight them with your life? I, Gao Pin, would not do such a stupid thing. Elder, not accepting the surrender now and not attacking them is the best plan. If we accept the surrender now, how much rations do we have to provide for more than two million men? It's not that we can't afford it, but … since they are allies of the Qi army, why don't we let them go to the Qi army and think of a solution? "
The Elder was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him. If they refused to surrender now, the Qin army would have no other choice but to retreat and seek reinforcements from the Qi army. However, the Qi army's reserves would not be any better. This would force the Qin army to exhaust the Qi army.
"Brilliant! Lord Gao's plan is brilliant indeed! "The enlightened elder clapped his hands and cheered.
…
Purple Golden Cave, Grand Conference Hall. Yan Li, Fu Junrang, and the other Elders arrived one after another. Upon arriving at the Grand Conference Hall, they discovered that the two Supreme Elders, Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai, who were still in the sect, were also present.
When everyone was present, Gong Lince asked, "Do you know who else is coming?"
Everyone looked around. Yan Li said, "Elder Yuan An."
Gong Lince nodded. "Do you know why he is not here?"
Everyone looked at each other. Mo Lingxue said, "I heard that the Sect Master ordered Elder Yuan to do something."
Gong Lince said, "That's right. To be more precise, I purposely sent him away. "
Purposely sent him away? Everyone looked at each other and then at him, waiting for him to continue. They knew that the Sect Master must have his reasons for saying so.
Gong Lince took something out from his sleeve and said in a low voice, "I have a secret letter here. It's a decree from the Misty Pavilion's Head Commander Huo Kong. He invites the two elders and the elders to come here to discuss this matter!"
