Returning to the pavilion and sitting down, Guan Fangyi frowned. "Does Tai-shu Xiong know him well? Why did he accept him so easily? "
Niu Youdao sighed. "Capable people are the same no matter where they go."
Guan Fangyi snorted. "Now you know that he is not to be trifled with. Why did you provoke him in the first place?"
Niu Youdao sat down slowly with both hands on the sword in front of him. "I didn't want to provoke him. He was the one who refused to let me go. I had no choice but to retaliate. If I don't kill him, he will kill me."
Guan Fangyi: "I followed you everywhere to hunt him down. You should at least let me know the reason for my death. How did the two of you become enemies? Do you have to fight to the death?"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "It's a long story. At the end of the day, it's all because of a woman."
Guan Fangyi blinked. "Tang Yi?"
"Yes!" Niu Youdao sighed.
Guan Fangyi clicked her tongue, "You two, neither of you are vegetarians, neither of you are people who are easily moved by women, this Tang Yi's charm is really great, to actually be able to attract the two of you at the same time, and even make the two of you fight to the death out of jealousy, this old lady is a little envious.
"It's not about fighting over a woman. When I first met him, I knew he was dangerous. His background and power are inferior to him. I can't wait to stay away from him. I didn't expect him to be pursuing Tang Yi. It's fine if he's pursuing Tang Yi. But this guy has ulterior motives. Getting Tang Yi is secondary. His real target is Zhao Xiongge! "
"No matter what happens between me and Tang Yi, our status is there. I became a stumbling block in his eyes for no reason. A person who can use his marriage to his advantage must be scheming. He must be someone who is unscrupulous. How can I expect him to treat me well when he doesn't even treat himself well? At that time, I knew I was in danger, so I ran away in panic! "
"From then on, the two of them started fighting. In order to get together with Tang Yi, he tried to kill me. I knew that he wouldn't let me go, so I tried to kill him too. The two of us fought back and forth. Later on, when they got to know each other better, they both realized that his ambition wasn't limited to the Northern Region, and Shang Chaozong's ambition wasn't limited to a small corner of the Northern Region. Sooner or later, he would make a move against Yan Chen, who was plagued by internal and external troubles. In fact, it wouldn't be just Yan Chen. "
"At this point, it's no longer a problem of Tang Yi and Zhao Xiongge. After fighting with him, we both know each other's abilities and realize that we will become each other's obstacles sooner or later. Even without Tang Yi and Zhao Xiongge, the two of us would have to fight sooner or later. You can imagine the consequences. They don't want the other party to become stronger and cause more trouble for themselves in the future. They want to strangle the other party while they are still weak. They will kill each other as soon as they have the chance. They won't be polite. "
Guan Fangyi: "He has already gone to Dajin, so there is no conflict of interest for the time being. Don't you like peace talks? Why don't you take the opportunity to talk to him? "
Niu You said, "Now that we've come this far, it's not that simple. Let's not talk about enmity, let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about one thing. If he wants to negotiate with me, can I believe that he will just let it go? Do I dare to let him become stronger? On the other hand, he treats me the same … "
Southern Region Provincial Governor's Mansion. It was mealtime. Shang Chaozong temporarily put down his work and entered the dining hall.
Meng Shanming, Shang Shuqing, Feng Ruonan, and Luo Daan were all there.
These people all ate together. Meng Shanming was originally unwilling, but Shang Chaozong strongly requested it.
The reason why Luo Daan could sit here and eat was naturally because of Meng Shanming. Of course, most importantly, it was because of his deceased father, Luo An. The living had to give his father an explanation.
As for Feng Ruonan, Shang Chaozong didn't want to sit at the same table with her. But after being persuaded by others, he seemed to be on Feng Ruonan's side.
Other than Meng Shanming who couldn't stand up, everyone else stood up.
Shang Chaozong's gaze swept across everyone. He didn't even stop at Feng Ruonan. Noticing that someone was missing, he couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mr. Lan and Xiao An?"
Meng Shanming had thought that Lan Xuanyu was with Lan Xuanyu, but when he realized that they weren't together, he immediately ordered, "Da An, go and check on Mr. Lan."
"Okay!" Luo Daan, who didn't let go of his guns, immediately ran out.
Not long after, Luo Daan ran back. "Prince, Mr. Lan asked for you to go out for a while."
Shang Chaozong was slightly startled. He immediately strode out.
Luo Daan leaned over and whispered something in Meng Shanming's ear. Then, he pushed Meng Shanming out.
Shang Shuqing could tell that something was wrong. He wouldn't avoid her no matter what, so he followed him out.
Only Feng Ruonan was left in the hall. There was no one else in the hall. If Lan Ruoting asked someone to go out, she would definitely be the one to avoid him.
Now, she was already skinny. She didn't have the spirit of the female general in the past. She didn't practice her martial arts anymore.
After the tragedy, Shang Chaozong slept separately from her. Shang Chaozong even showed off the beauties offered by her family in front of her. The two beauties offered by her family tried their best to please Shang Chaozong in order to disassociate themselves from the Feng Family. They didn't give her any face.
She knew that if it weren't for the Tianyu Gate, Shang Chaozong would have divorced her long ago.
She didn't say anything when she was bullied by the two beauties. She knew that if she told Shang Shuqing, Shang Shuqing would definitely help her.
But she didn't say it. She didn't complain to anyone.
If she didn't say it, the servants in the mansion wouldn't say it even if they knew. Who didn't know that the Feng Family almost killed the Prince? They all knew that the Prince was dissatisfied with this princess.
This family was still based on Shang Chaozong's wishes. The servants were quite disrespectful to Feng Ruonan in private.
Her maiden family also knew that she wouldn't have a good time here. They didn't fight or quarrel between husband and wife. What could Tianyu Gate do? Peng Youzai also asked people to pass the message to her repeatedly, wanting to take her away.
But she didn't go.
Her maiden family wanted to kill her husband. In the end, her husband killed her two brothers. She didn't choose a side at that time, and she wouldn't choose a side now. She didn't care how Shang Chaozong treated her. She just lived like a rotten wood, living one day at a time.
In the courtyard, Lan Ruoting cupped his hands. "Prince, Marshal Meng, Princess." He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shang Chaozong. He said in a low voice, "A letter from Daoye."
Once she heard that it was a letter from Niu Youdao, Shang Shuqing's eyes immediately lit up. She stared at the letter in her brother's hand without letting go.
Shang Chaozong took the letter and read it. His expression suddenly shook. His eyes were filled with bewilderment. He then handed the letter to Meng Shan Ming.
Meng Shan Ming was also shocked after reading it. The letter was finally in Shang Shuqing's hands.
The content of the letter was that Tianyu Gate was about to leave the South State and go to the North State. The Great Zen Mountain of the North State would come to the South State to take over Tianyu Gate. At that time, someone would come to take control of the situation and get ready to cooperate.
The few of them looked at each other in disbelief.
Shang Chaozong said in a low voice, "Tianyu Gate is leaving. Why didn't we notice anything strange when we were with them?"
Meng Shan Ming said, "That Daoye has always been like this. He won't easily reveal his trump card to his opponent until the very end. He won't easily give his opponent a chance to turn the tables either. Since he has made such arrangements, he must have his own plans. Prince just needs to cooperate. Since we've gotten into such a mess with Tianyu Gate, driving them out of the South State is beneficial to us. "
Lan Ruoting sighed. "What a big move! Shao Pingbo was forced to flee the North State without any trouble. Now, he wants to drive Tianyu Gate out of the South State. Neither of these are trivial matters. All I know is that he went out for a while and managed to get everything done without anyone noticing. I really don't know how he did it. I really have to hand it to him. "
Shang Chaozong said, "According to the letter, even if we move to another place, Tianyu Gate won't suffer any losses. The North State has been doing well these past few years."
"Won't suffer any losses? This Daoye of ours is no saint! "Lan Ruoting retorted," Prince, have you forgotten that Daoye had secretly asked us to recruit Shao Dengyun? "
Shang Chaozong's cheeks twitched as he came to a realization. Previously, he had thought that recruiting Shao Dengyun from afar was pointless, and it might even provoke Yan Court into doing something desperate. Now, he realized that they had dug a trap for Tianyu Gate to fall into.
Meng Shan Ming nodded slightly and sighed. "Using military strategy to subdue an enemy without a fight. This Daoye is truly capable of turning the clouds and rain with one turn of the hand! It's Prince's good fortune to have Daoye's help. It's worth more than a million soldiers! "
Shang Shuqing remained silent as she held the letter. Hearing everyone's praises, she inexplicably felt that they were praising her. Her heart was filled with tenderness, and her mind was filled with the silhouette of the man who sat in front of the dressing table with his eyes closed, waiting for her to comb his hair. She wondered when they would meet again …
In Xiao Yao Palace, inside a luxuriant jade building, Peng Youzai sat quietly by himself, occasionally looking around.
He was a little puzzled as he didn't know why Xiao Yao Palace had summoned him so urgently, causing him to rush all the way here.
Inside the jade building, the gold-carved door suddenly opened. Xiao Yao Palace's Palace Master, Long Xiu, led a few people out.
Peng Youzai immediately stood up and bowed. "Greetings, Palace Master."
Long Xiu smiled and pressed his hand, gesturing for him to sit down. Then, he sat down on the main seat and said with a smile, "It must have been hard for you to come all the way here."
Peng Youzai replied politely, "It's my duty. May I know why Palace Master summoned me here? "
Long Xiu asked, "Has the conflict with Niu Youdao and Shang Chaozong still not been resolved in South Prefecture?"
Peng Youzai hurriedly said, "It won't affect the overall situation in South Prefecture."
Long Xiu threw out a sentence abruptly, "The Great Zen Mountain in North Prefecture and Niu Youdao are getting along well. The Great Zen Mountain also intends to give North Prefecture to Heavenly Jade School. What do you think?"
Peng Youzai was stunned and asked suspiciously, "I'm ignorant. What do you mean, Palace Master?"
Long Xiu said, "North Prefecture intends to return to Yan State. The Great Zen Mountain has realized its mistake and made a meritorious deed. If they give up North Prefecture, we can't mistreat them. How about this, your Heavenly Jade School will give up South Prefecture to the Great Zen Mountain. As for North Prefecture, I'll leave it to you. "
"This …" Peng Youzai stood up in shock. It was too sudden.
Long Xiu frowned, "Why? You have a problem with that?"
Peng Youzai said, "The State of Han has paid a huge price to fight against Yan State in North Prefecture. How can they give it up so easily? If my Heavenly Jade School goes there, won't we immediately be involved in the war? "
Long Xiu said, "You're worrying too much. The Great Zen Mountain and the Shao Clan will return to North Prefecture together. It's a smooth handover. You can go there and directly take over. There's no internal strife and resistance. The people of North Prefecture and the imperial court are united against the foreign enemies. So what if the State of Han is dissatisfied? Do they want to take it by force? "
How could Peng Youzai easily give up a place where he already had a foundation? He cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask Palace Master, do Purple Golden Cave and Spirit Sword Mountain know about this?"
"This is what we've discussed. One state for one state, Heavenly Jade School won't suffer a loss."
