"The State of Zhao's forces against Jinzhou have also withdrawn. Nanzhou and Jinzhou have escaped this disaster!"
In the Tianwei Mansion, Xuan Wei, who was sitting behind the table, looked at the report in her hand, then threw it on the table and sighed.
Her sigh contained some regret. She hoped that Nanzhou would be conquered by Yan. With the favor that Niu Youdao owed her, she could take the opportunity to recruit Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao's cultivation was not outstanding, but his talent was valuable. He could be used as a strategist.
A good strategist was equivalent to thousands of troops and horses, even better than ten top-level cultivators.
Zhao Xiongge and Niu Youdao, if she had to choose, she would choose Niu Youdao without hesitation. No matter how good Zhao Xiongge was, facing the power of other countries, his destructive power was limited.
But she did not want Nanzhou to be conquered. The current situation was the best. She did not want the balance of the four countries in the east to be broken. She did not want any country in the east to become stronger. When the State of Wei was powerless, it was best for the east to keep each other in check.
So, her emotions were somewhat complicated.
Tang Yi, who was at the side, asked, "The Yan Kingdom was forced to retreat this time. Will they not make a comeback in the future?"
Facing Yan's situation, she was relatively biased towards Niu Youdao's Nanzhou. She did not want Niu Youdao to get into trouble.
"If there aren't any major changes, it won't be possible for a long time to come." Xuan Wei stood up and paced back and forth around the long table. "Yan lost Beizhou and fought with the State of Korea for many years. Now that the master has changed, the State of Korea will not give up easily. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain to the country. Even if it is just for show, they will continue to confront each other. "
"Now that the Song Nation has an excuse, they can send out their troops at any time. However, they do not dare to fight to the death with the Yan Nation alone. That would exhaust too much of the nation's strength. If they are not careful, the Song Nation and the Yan Nation might deal with them together. The Song Nation must be using this as an excuse to pester them. However, they will not act rashly. They must be instigating the Han Nation to make a move. The State of Zhao no longer has internal strife and is watching from the side. The State of Han will not act rashly and will definitely instigate the State of Song to act. "
Tang Yi asked again, "Will the other two countries join Zhao? Will the three countries join hands to divide Yan?"
Xuan Wei looked back at her and smiled. "The seven countries have been fighting for so many years, so we all know what each other's plans are. If the State of Zhao dares to join forces with the State of Han and the State of Song, the State of Wei and the State of Qi will not sit idly by. To the west of Han is a vast desert with countless sand scorpions. The army cannot pass through it. If the countries in the east want to advance to the west, they can only go through Zhao. "
"The Jin Nation is already giving us a headache. How can we let the Zhao Kingdom become stronger? The State of Zhao can be said to be a dangerous obstacle behind the State of Wei and the State of Qi. It is the key to helping the two states defend against the states in the east. The states in the east can all rise, but the State of Wei and the State of Qi will not allow the State of Zhao to rise. This is an important strategy for the two states. "
"If they take a step back, there will be all kinds of troubles. Once the State of Zhao rises, in order to guard against the State of Jin, they will have to kneel down to please the State of Zhao. How much do they have to pay to satisfy the State of Zhao? If they become strong, they will not appreciate your kindness and will even raise their blades against you! "
"Once the State of Zhao joins in the division of Yan, the State of Wei and the State of Qi will have to send out an army each to teach the State of Zhao a lesson. In this way, the State of Zhao will either sit back and watch, or … if they don't want to see the State of Han becoming a threat after the division of Yan, they will have to take the opportunity to attack the State of Han. Therefore, the State of Han will have to be cautious and take a roundabout route to keep the State of Zhao in check. Otherwise, after the death of King Ning and Shang Jianbo, the State of Yan would have collapsed a long time ago. "
Tang Yi nodded thoughtfully. After staying by Xuan Wei's side, she had to admit that she had gained a lot of knowledge.
At this point, Xuan Wei glanced at Tang Yi and said, "As for Niu Youdao himself, anyone can see that he is Shang Chaozong's biggest support. I'm afraid Shang Jianxiong will not let him go easily."
Tang Yi, "He has the troops of Southern State in his hands. Will Shang Jianxiong dare to act rashly?"
Xuan Wei smiled and shook her head, "In a war with cultivators, it is impossible for any side to not have cultivators accompanying them. Otherwise, the head of the general in the army of a million will be easily taken by the enemy. No matter how strong the army is, how can it fight without a commander? The reason why the Great Zen Mountain is willing to cooperate with Shang Chaozong to suppress the State of Jin is to intimidate the State of Zhao. In the end, it is to protect the State of Southern State. Now that the State of Yan has retreated, do you think the Great Zen Mountain will take the initiative to find trouble? What's more … "
She paused and said, "They don't dare to fight with Niu Youdao because they are afraid of causing chaos in Southern State. However, if someone else does it for them … I'm afraid the Great Zen Mountain will use someone else to do their dirty work. They will use Shang Jianxiong to get rid of Niu Youdao! If the Great Zen Mountain doesn't cooperate with Shang Chaozong, Shang Chaozong's army is just a decoration. If they dare to attack the imperial court without permission, they will be courting death. Do you think Shang Jianxiong will dare to act rashly? "
Tang Yi was silent and slightly frowned. She was deeply worried for Niu Youdao.
"I am willing to provide protection for Niu Youdao. I admire him very much. As long as he is willing to come to my State of Wei to help me, all of his troubles can be easily solved. In terms of wealth, no one in the seven kingdoms can compare to the State of Wei. As long as he is willing to come, I can guarantee that he will have enough cultivation resources and can also give him more convenience. "
As Xuan Wei spoke, she walked to the front of Tang Yi and stared at her. "If you can persuade him to come, I am willing to suppress the other sects for the Shanghai Sect and give a province to the Shanghai Sect!"
She was the first to want to recruit Niu Youdao, but she didn't have such a strong intention at the beginning. After all, she wasn't Tai-shu Xiong and didn't know too many secrets from Shao Pingbo.
However, she was the first to pay a lot of attention to Niu Youdao. After Niu Youdao robbed the warhorse, she met Yuan Gang in the desert. It was hard for her not to pay attention to the person behind a person who could control the Scorpion King.
However, she didn't know much more than others. To a certain extent, Niu Youdao was very low-key. Most of the time, he hid behind the scenes in the Southern State. Even Shang Chaozong, who was on the same side as Niu Youdao, couldn't figure out Niu Youdao's movements. It was even harder for outsiders to notice anything.
However, ever since the upheaval in the Southern State and the Northern State, Shao Pingbo and Niu Youdao both appeared and entered the eyes of the various kingdoms.
This time, the incident between the Southern State and the Golden State might be Niu Youdao's doing.
In addition, Tai-shu Xiong valued Shao Pingbo so much, which made her want to recruit Niu Youdao even stronger.
Who was Tai-shu Xiong? There must be a reason why he valued Shao Pingbo so much.
In front of her, there was a person who could defeat Shao Pingbo time and time again!
As for the promised land of a state to Tang Yi, as long as Tang Yi could persuade him, she would give it to him!
If Niu Youdao could play a role, she would naturally think of a way to help the Shangqing Sect keep that state. If she couldn't do anything and the state was taken away by someone else, she couldn't be blamed. No one stipulated that a sect's territory would belong to a certain sect forever.
The reason why she hoped that Tang Yi could persuade him was that she could tell from Tang Yi's hurried announcement of her divorce that Niu Youdao wanted to keep a certain distance from her. From another perspective, it seemed that he didn't think highly of her and only wanted to separate from her. He wasn't someone she could recruit just because she wanted to.
Niu Youdao didn't think highly of her. Later on, she took the initiative to recruit Shao Pingbo, but Shao Pingbo risked his life to abandon her and seek refuge in the poor Jin State. He also didn't think highly of her. However, the attitudes of these two sworn enemies were surprisingly identical, which made her feel shocked and angry in the depths of her heart, and even faintly terrified.
Now, whoever she sent to recruit him would represent her. If she sent Tang Yi and the Shanghai Sect to persuade him, they would also represent her, which would increase the possibility of success. Naturally, she hoped that the Shanghai Sect would do it.
Ximen Qingkong glanced at Tang Yi faintly.
A state's territory? Tang Yi was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect that Niu Youdao was worth such a price in her eyes!
…
Although she still didn't look well, Hai Ruyue could already walk around. She also received some important officials from the Golden State to calm them down.
Looking at the smiling Niu Youdao in front of her, Hai Ruyue couldn't let go of the resentment in her heart.
Niu Youdao was here to say goodbye. He couldn't stay here forever. After all, this was someone else's territory. He was weak and could easily be controlled by others.
"Don't think that I can forget about Tianzhen and thank you just because you came up with some ideas to save me and my son!" Hai Ruyue gritted her teeth and said hatefully. Li Wuhua couldn't stop her even when he pulled her sleeve.
Now, Li Wuhua's threat didn't have much effect on her anymore.
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "Princess Royal might have forgotten one thing. I also saved the life of your eldest son, Xiao Tianzhen. Of course, he was taken away by the Ghost Doctor later on. However, I want to remind Princess Royal that even if others can't find Xiao Tianzhen's whereabouts, it doesn't mean that I can't find him. I don't know if Princess Royal wants me to find him or not. "
"…" Hai Ruyue wanted to say something but stopped. She really wanted to tell him to stop deliberately mystifying things. However, she thought that this guy was indeed not ordinary. Not to mention his various deeds, he could even steal the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit from the Ice and Snow Pavilion. What else was impossible?
"Princess Royal, take care." Niu Youdao cupped his fists and bade farewell. He turned around and left with his sword.
Hai Ruyue still wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Wuhua. Li Wuhua followed them out to see them off.
When they were near the provincial governor's manor, Li Wuhua suddenly reached out and touched Niu Youdao's elbow. "Brother, don't lower yourself to her level. A woman's thoughts aren't important. In the end, the Golden State is still under my Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor's control."
Li Wuhua said this with a profound meaning. He even gave Niu Youdao a meaningful glance.
Niu Youdao understood the other party's meaning. This person was afraid that he would really find Xiao Tianzhen and didn't want Xiao Tianzhen to return to the Golden State.
From the other party's point of view, his thoughts were understandable. If Xiao Tianzhen returned, the other party would be in an awkward position. Niu Youdao nodded slightly but didn't express his opinion.
…
Two large birds landed in the dense forest. Gao Shaoyang was supported by a cultivator as he jumped onto the ground. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Sen, who was standing on a rock. "Zhao Manor's order."
Zhao Sen looked down at him. He had received a message from the palace on the way and had no choice but to quietly leave the group and return to the Golden State's Prefecture.
He had no intention of coming down. Gao Shaoyang could only raise his head and ask, "Where is Niu Youdao?"
Zhao Sen said indifferently, "He is still in the provincial governor's manor."
