"Sigh!" Linghu Qiu crossed his arms and shook his head, watching them leave.
"Let's go too!" Niu Youdao also flew away.
The two of them rushed all the way out of Tianjing Lake, landed, and continued in the direction of the capital.
Linghu Qiu, who sensed the direction, asked in surprise, "Are you going to the capital? Now that we've stirred up such trouble, it's better for us to lie low and observe the situation. "
Niu You said, "I threatened the Vast Cloud Diagram, and I've long suspected that the Vast Cloud Diagram wouldn't let me go. Kun Linshu is a person with a bit of pride, and I have no enmity with him in the past, so he might not have taken me seriously in the past and wouldn't pester me for no reason. Especially at this time, there must be a reason!"
Linghu Qiu pondered for a moment and asked, "You suspect that the Vast Cloud Map is behind this?"
Niu Youdao said, "There is no evidence."
Linghu Qiu was surprised. "What evidence do you need? Since you suspect that he wants to harm you, why are you running to the capital instead of avoiding him?"
Niu Youdao said, "I need to confirm it! Besides, running now might not be as safe as going to the capital! "
Linghu Qiu subconsciously looked around. Seeing no signs of being followed, he asked, "Is it safer to go to the capital?"
Niu Youdao did not answer. It was not convenient for him to divulge the whole story to anyone.
The reason was simple. If the Emperor wanted to kill him, he would not allow him to escape easily under the watchful eyes of the public. The backup plan he had left in the capital might be useful, so he had to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Only when he returned to the capital could he divert and eliminate the forces that might be targeting him from outside the capital and attract the attention of the people targeting him to the capital. Once something unexpected happened, he would immediately create a huge disturbance in the capital, and there would be no forces targeting him outside the city. Only then could he successfully escape from the capital. As for the pursuit he would face in the future, he would think of a way to deal with it according to the situation.
Here, his strength was not as good as the people, and his influence was not as good. He did not understand many things. He had just arrived, but he was already on tenterhooks.
In his opinion, every single decision he made now was a risk, and it was like he was dancing on the edge of a blade. He couldn't afford to be hesitant or procrastinate!
Inside the palace, under the gaze of Hao Yuntu, who was sitting upright, a beautiful concubine scooped a bowl of soup from a soup bowl and offered it up with both hands. She said softly, "Your Majesty, this concubine has just made this for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please have a taste."
"Thank you." Vast Cloud Map took a few bites and nodded, indicating that the taste was not bad.
The concubine immediately smiled like a flower and started to talk about the soup, talking about what ingredients were used and how long it took to brew it.
Chief Steward Bu Xun arrived. When he saw this, he did not step forward to disturb them. Instead, he stood to the side with his hands clasped behind his back. When Vast Cloud Diagram's gaze landed on him, he bowed slightly in acknowledgement.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Hao Yuntu handed over the bowl in his hand. The beautiful imperial concubine received it and said with a smile, "If Your Majesty likes it, please drink more."
"No need. This Guaren still has official business to attend to. You may leave." Vast Cloud Diagram expressionlessly waved his hand.
The smile on the beautiful imperial concubine's face froze, but she still obediently agreed. Then, she quickly packed up the soup bowls and other things, putting them back into the food box, and carried them out.
At this time, Bu Xun stepped forward and took out a secret report from his sleeve. "The auction has ended. As Your Majesty expected, kun Linshu really did provoke Niu Youdao."
Vast Cloud Diagram grunted and asked with a smile, "What was the result?"
Bu Xun replied, "kun Linshu was severely injured by Niu Youdao."
Vast Cloud Diagram was surprised. "kun Linshu was not a match for Niu Youdao?"
Bu Xun shook his head. "He was indeed not a match for Niu Youdao. He was severely injured in a single exchange, and he was almost unable to fight back against Niu Youdao. If it weren't for the people from the three sects stopping Niu Youdao, kun Linshu would have already lost his life. Before the news came, kun Linshu was still undergoing emergency treatment, and his injuries were indeed very serious. "
Some things could not be explained clearly in a few sentences. Vast Cloud Diagram quickly opened the secret report in his hand and looked through the details of the report.
The process of the auction, how kun Linshu provoked, how Niu Youdao tolerated it, how the two of them fought, until kun Linshu was seriously injured and snatched away. The entire process was clearly stated in the secret report.
After looking through it, Vast Cloud Diagram closed the secret report in his hand. Slowly, he said, "He is worthy of his reputation. This Guaren has underestimated this Niu Youdao."
He opened the secret report again and looked through it. Then, he nodded slightly and said, "When he doesn't move, he is like a hidden dragon in the abyss. When he moves, he is like a sudden clap of thunder. His aura swallows everything, and he looks down on all heroes! With reason and evidence, he advances step by step, resolute when necessary, and never drags his feet. Moreover, he knows when to yield and when to stand tall. He is a true man, a true man! "
In the eyes of a person like him, a little humiliation did not affect his final evaluation of that person. In his opinion, there was no one in this world who would not suffer humiliation, and he was no exception. In his eyes, those who faced everything head-on were the real fools.
From his height, he had his own angle of view.
Bu Xun smiled and asked, "This Niu Youdao, what does His Majesty plan to do next?"
Vast Cloud Diagram threw down the secret report in his hand, stood up, and walked out from behind the long table. He arrived in front of a large map at the side, and walked to the Yan region. His finger pointed to Nanzhou, and his finger finally landed on the position of Qingshan County. He asked, "Bu Xun, tell me, why did he come to my Qi Kingdom?"
Bu Xun walked to his side. "Most of the cultivators who came here are here for the warhorses in His Majesty's territory. Moreover, the people from the Heavenly Jade School, the biggest backer of the Yan Commandery Prince Shang Chaozong, have also come. In recent years, Shang Chaozong has managed the two counties very well. I'm afraid that he has some financial resources and is trying to survive in the cracks. Just having financial resources isn't enough, lacking military strength is like a piece of fat meat on the chopping board. Therefore, developing military strength should be an urgent matter. Niu Youdao should also be here for the warhorses. "
Vast Cloud Diagram surveyed the entire Yan region. "If Shang Jianbo was still here, I wonder if his heroic Wu Lie Graud is stronger, or if Guaren's Valiant Cavalry is stronger!"
Bu Xun replied, "Naturally, His Majesty is stronger!"
Vast Cloud Diagram smiled and glanced at him. He jokingly said, "You only know how to flatter me. Both sides have never fought, so how do you know that Guaren's troops are stronger?"
Bu Xun shook his head. "This old servant is not flattering you. What I said is the truth."
Vast Cloud Diagram made an 'oh' sound and revealed a look of interest. "What is the truth? You can't tell me anything. In Guaren's eyes, there is no place for flatterers who only know how to flatter me. I will definitely punish you heavily! "
Bu Xun first bowed deeply, then straightened up and said unhurriedly, "The reason is very simple. Huyan Wuhen is not Shang Jianbo, and His Majesty is not the Yan Emperor, Shang Jianxiong. Shang Jianxiong is intolerant and cannot tolerate Shang Jianbo. He is hindered in every way, and the commander-in-chief is restrained. How can such a heroic Wu Lie Graud continue to fight? No matter how powerful he is, he can only defend against the enemy within his territory. There is no possibility of attacking outside. "
"After Shang Jianbo's death, Shang Jianxiong single-handedly disintegrated the heroic Wu Lie Graud that Yan relied on to shake the world. As a result, Yan is faced with internal and external troubles, and is in a precarious situation. A large part of its territory has fallen into the enemy's hands. If Shang Jianbo was still around, how would Han dare to invade Yan? "
"But His Majesty is different. His Majesty is talented and bold. Ever since His Majesty succeeded the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country. Qi's national strength has been growing day by day. Those sects that are hindering Qi are also balanced and controlled by His Majesty. On the other hand, does Shang Jianxiong have this ability? Otherwise, how could he have caused Yan to become like this? In a war between two countries, it is a competition of national strength. Even if heroic Wu Lie Graud is stronger than the Xiao Qi Army, so what? Yan's national strength is not as strong as Qi's. There is chaos in the country. Against His Majesty's army, they will lose without a doubt. Naturally, His Majesty is better! "
Hao Yun Tu pointed at him and chuckled, "You slippery fellow. This Guaren asked you to compare the two armies, but you evaded the topic and compared the national strength of the two countries." Although he said this, the smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart.
Bu Xun bowed and said, "It is this old servant who is slow-witted."
Hao Yun Tu's gaze fell on Qingshan County. "A tiger father will not have a dog son. I have to admit that Shang Jianbo has indeed given birth to a good son. Currently, it looks like he is doing well! But this Yan's situation, I'm afraid it will not last for long. If this situation continues, if there is no change, I'm afraid it will not last for another ten years! "
Bu Xun's gaze also fell on the map. "Once the opportunity comes, Han, Zhao, and Song will definitely attack together. They will divide the land and will repeat the mistakes of Qin!"
Hao Yun Tu's gaze fell on the other side of the map. He stared at the country that made his teeth itch. He said hatefully, "Jin is arrogant and overbearing. They are militaristic and often have the intention to offend us. Qi and Wei have to join hands to suppress them. Once Yan is in chaos, our Qi will not be able to help the east. Can we just watch as the eastern countries become stronger? Once they become stronger, our Qi will be attacked from both the east and west! "
Bu Xun did not know why he mentioned this now. He asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Hao Yun Tu paced back and forth in front of the map. He pondered, "Niu Youdao, this person is so young but has such magnanimity and ability. If he can overcome all the obstacles, he will definitely become a great person in the future! For this kind of person, once a deep enmity is formed and we cannot get rid of him, if we let him escape, he will definitely become a trouble in the future. Looking at the long term, this Guaren wishes to express goodwill to him. Doesn't he want a warhorse? This Guaren will give it to him! "
Bu Xun looked at the map and said hesitantly, "Even if he can bring the warhorse back, a mere Shang Chaozong will not be able to reverse the Yan's decline!"
Hao Yun Tu stopped in front of the Yan's territory. He stared at the map and said Slowly, "Even if Yan falls apart, Shang Chaozong is different from the other Yan's feudal vassals."
"The other feudal vassals can pledge allegiance to the strong in exchange for glory and wealth. Shang Chaozong is the Yan's royal family who holds military power. He is also the son of Shang Jianbo and has the ambition to advance. It can be said that he is the last hope of the Shang Clan. If he fails, the Shang Clan will be in danger of extinction. The other countries will not allow the Shang Clan to rise again. If he is strong, the other countries will more or less be afraid of Shang Chaozong's crazy revenge. They will not dare to wantonly slaughter the Shang Clan for a while. "
"Therefore, it is reasonable for Shang Chaozong to not watch the Yan's collapse like this. If the Yan's fall, the one who will fight to the death will definitely be Shang Chaozong. At the very least, he will not surrender so easily! "
