He didn't believe that Gao Jiancheng didn't know that the leaders of the three major sects were here. One thing he was sure of was that Gao Jiancheng must have more eyes and ears in the palace than him. Because of his awkward situation, he couldn't extend his hand too far. Even he knew, he didn't believe that Gao Jiancheng didn't know.
Gao Jiancheng seemed puzzled. "What clues can there be?"
Old fox! Shang Yongzhong suppressed the urge to spit in his face. "Shang Chaozong slaughtered the Waning Moon Pavilion and used cruel means to exterminate the Waning Moon Pavilion. He also pointed out that His Majesty was also the murderer. What does he want? Why did the leaders of the three major sects come at this time? Aren't you worried that something will happen? "
Gao Jiancheng nodded and seemed to think for a moment. "Prince, you think too much. Isn't it normal for the leaders of the three major sects to come to see His Majesty?"
Shang Yongzhong stared at him anxiously. "Lord Gao, is it interesting to play dumb with me? Gong Lince arrived first. His Majesty wanted to see him, but Gong Lince refused to see His Majesty … I don't believe you don't know about this. "
Gao Jiancheng exclaimed, "Is there such a thing?"
"…" Shang Yongzhong was speechless. He stared at Gao Jiancheng and finally laughed. "You can't play like this. Well, Lord Gao, you win. "He turned around and left.
Gao Jiancheng thought that he was going to leave and was about to say, "Take care, Prince." Unexpectedly, Shang Yongzhong came back with a chair and sat next to him. He said with a serious face, "Now that I've said it and you know it, what do you think we should do?"
Gao Jiancheng was speechless. In the end, he still pretended to be confused. "Leader Gong must have a reason not to see him. I guess there is something wrong."
"When have you ever seen His Majesty refuse to see the Sect Masters of the three sects?" Shang Yongzhong countered with a question. He stopped talking and waved his hand. "I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. Lord Gao, you and I are in the same boat with His Majesty. Once something happens to His Majesty, you and I can't escape. "
Gao Jiancheng was silent for a moment before asking, "Did His Majesty send you here?"
Shang Yongzhong said, "You're thinking too much. His Majesty is probably in a hurry to see the three Sect Masters and figure out the situation. How could he think of us?"
Gao Jiancheng said hesitantly, "Let's figure out the situation first."
Shang Yongzhong said meaningfully, "Lord Gao, based on what you and I have done, I'm afraid Shang Chaozong will not let us off. If you have any countermeasures, we have to help each other! If there's anything you need our help with, you don't have to stand on ceremony with me. "
This was the purpose of his visit. He was burning with impatience, but in the end, he saw that this person could handle official business as if nothing had happened. Wasn't he too calm and composed?
Because of this, he suspected that the old fox already had a countermeasure. He hoped that if an accident happened, he would be able to pull him together.
Gao Jiancheng wanted to laugh. He realized that this person's reaction was really sharp. He might not have any ability in other matters, but he was very clear-headed when it came to figuring out these things. He was able to sense the impending danger so quickly.
However, it was understandable. If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't have been able to stand out among the royal family and climb to his current position.
…
Long Xiu and Meng Xuan arrived at the palace one after the other. After inquiring about the situation with the disciples stationed here, they arrived at the place where Gong Lince was staying.
Just as the three of them sat down in the pavilion, a disciple ran over and reported, "Sect Master, His Majesty is here. He's outside asking for an audience."
Gong Lince said indifferently, "Just say that the three of us have something to discuss. Ask His Majesty to return. We will find a time to visit him."
"Yes!" The disciple received the order and left.
Long Xiu and Meng Xuan exchanged glances. Long Xiu said slowly, "Brother Gong, are you trying to scare His Majesty?"
Gong Lince said, "Do I need to scare him?"
Meng Xuan said, "It's not easy to come here. Tell me, why did you summon us here in such a hurry?"
It was indeed not easy to come here. Now that the flying mounts of the various sects had been confiscated by the Misty Pavilion, even though they were the Sect Masters of the major sects, they still had to travel long distances on horseback. They kind of missed the feeling of having flying mounts. Now that the efficiency of work was much lower, the leaders of the three sects were reluctant to go out.
Gong Lince said, "It's not easy to come here, so I didn't invite you to the Purple Golden Cave. We arranged to meet here in the capital so that we can all travel closer. Since you came here, there must be something important. Alas, that Shang Chaozong from the Southern State is really worrisome. He destroyed the Waning Moon Pavilion just like that. "
Long Xiu snorted, "Don't give me that. Without the Purple Golden Cave's support, how could he dare to attack the Waning Moon Pavilion?"
Meng Xuan said, "Don't act like a cat crying for a mouse in front of us. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gong Lince sighed, "What else could it be? You all saw what Shang Chaozong did. Yes, it's true that the attack on the Waning Moon Pavilion was supported by the Purple Golden Cave. But you all can imagine why. What is the Waning Moon Pavilion? Everyone knows the ambition of wolves. How could I allow them to conspire against the Purple Golden Cave's territory? Since Shang Chaozong wants it, the Purple Golden Cave can only push the boat with the current. "
"But I didn't expect that guy to be so greedy. He is eager to take revenge and set his eyes on Shang Jianxiong. To tell you the truth, now he wants to take revenge and take the opportunity to replace Shang Jianxiong! "
Long Xiu said coldly, "Does he think we are decorations?"
Meng Xuan shouted, "How dare he!"
Gong Lince said, "Why wouldn't he dare? In order to take revenge, he has already destroyed the Waning Moon Pavilion. "
Long Xiu said, "He is a dog raised by the Purple Golden Cave. Don't say that you can't control him."
Gong Lince said, "He wants revenge. For this, he didn't hesitate to fall out with the Purple Golden Cave. What can I do? Do I really have to fall out with him? This large area is full of his people. If I really get rid of him, there will be chaos. Won't you two take advantage of the situation? "
Long Xiu said, "What do you mean by that? Are you playing an opera with us? "
Gong Lince waved his hand, "I am not joking. This time he is determined to take revenge. But if he causes trouble for Yan now, it is not what the Purple Golden Cave wants to see. After I persuaded him, he finally relented. If Yan is given to him, he is willing to turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk. "
"That's why I'm here to discuss something with the two of you. Why don't we forget about it? This Shang Jianxiong is a piece of trash after all. Why don't we just hand over the Yan Kingdom to the Shang Dynasty? In this way, you, me, and everyone will be good. What do you think? "
Long Xiu said, "Are you kidding? The Purple Golden Cave has occupied such a large area and you are still not satisfied. You still want to extort us? "
Gong Lince reached into his sleeve and fished out two pieces of paper. After looking at them, he placed them on the table and pushed them towards the two of them. He extended his hand and invited them to read.
The two looked at each other and each took a piece of paper to read.
Once they saw it, they were shocked. Long Xiu raised his eyes and stared at Gong Lince coldly.
Gong Lince held his teacup and carelessly blew the steam from it, sipping it slowly.
Meng Xuan saw Long Xiu's reaction and immediately understood that the things in their hands were similar. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gong, are you going to use this to threaten us? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! The Three Saints have already said that they will let bygones be bygones! "
They didn't have anything else in their hands except for the matter of the Misty Pavilion's inspector. In order to explain to the Sage State, the two sects secretly arrested the Misty Pavilion's members. During the arrest, some of the Misty Pavilion's members were killed.
Of course, the paper didn't record all the bad things that the two sects had done, but they did have some evidence.
The two didn't know how Gong Lince got his hands on the evidence, but they were clear about some things. At that time, the sects didn't say anything, but in fact, almost all of them did it to protect themselves.
Gong Lince put down his teacup and said, "Yes, they said that they will let bygones be bygones. But some things are different now. The Three Saints are facing a difficult situation. If they manage to stabilize the situation, can you guarantee that the Misty Pavilion will let bygones be bygones? Especially the evidence in front of us! "
Long Xiu said in a deep voice, "Your Purple Golden Cave's ass isn't that clean either."
Gong Lince laughed and said, "You can't just say things like that. Do you have any evidence? I have evidence to submit to the Misty Pavilion! You should know that as long as the Three Saints stabilize the situation, the Purple Gold Cave will definitely report this evidence to the Misty Pavilion for the benefit of the Yan Kingdom. As for whether the Misty Pavilion will deal with you, the Purple Gold Cave can only wait and see. Why don't you two take a gamble! "
The two's faces darkened. Long Xiu stood up and said, "Then you can only hope that the Three Saints can stabilize the situation!"
Meng Xuan also stood up. "At least for now, the Three Saints will keep their word. At least for now, they won't dare to touch us!"
The two were about to leave, but they couldn't easily accept such a threat. Purple Golden Cave's current sphere of influence was so large that it occupied half of the Qin country. Plus the territory of Yan Mountain, it was already equal to the sum of their two sects. If they let the people of Purple Golden Cave hold the power of Yan Mountain, how could their two sects survive?
Gong Lince smiled and threw out a big weapon. "Purple Golden Cave is willing to take out its territory and equally divide it with Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain."
The two Sect Leaders who haven't walked out of the pavilion stopped, looked back at each other, and then slowly turned around. Long Xiu said, "Did I hear that right?"
Gong Lince said, "The entire Yan Mountain's territory and half of Qin country's territory, we will take it out and divide it again. My Purple Golden Cave is willing to equally divide it with the three sects." Then he stretched out his hand and invited them to sit down.
The two Sect Leaders looked at each other again. They couldn't leave, and they didn't want to leave. At least, they had to figure out what it meant. They slowly walked back to the table and sat down.
Meng Xuan tentatively said, "The sun has risen from the west, how could Purple Golden Cave be so kind?"
Gong Lince said, "There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. You can let my Purple Golden Cave occupy half of Qin country, do you think I don't know your evil intentions? First, in the face of the pressure from South Korea, we had to compromise. Under the blockade of Shang Chaozong, we finally had to withdraw our troops. Second, you want my Purple Golden Cave to stand in front of the Western Screen Pass. You want my Purple Golden Cave to face the Great Jin Country's Eastern Expedition alone. You guys are going to hide in the back and watch my Purple Golden Cave's consumption. "
With Gao Jiancheng, that traitor, there was nothing he didn't know.
His strategic intention was seen through, but Long Xiu was expressionless. Meng Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows.
