This letter was not shown to Guan Fangyi. Niu Youdao returned it to Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang glanced at Guan Fangyi and left.
Guan Fangyi was not stupid. She knew that the letter Yuan Gang took away was the real secret. "Daoye, you still don't trust me."
Niu Youdao smiled. "You're thinking too much. Some things are useless even if you know it now. Some things are better if fewer people know. The more people know, the easier it is to distract me. When it's time to let you know, I will let you know. It has nothing to do with whether I trust you or not. "
The matter regarding Gao Jiancheng was not a small matter. For the time being, no one else would know about it.
Guan Fangyi pouted. "At the end of the day, you still don't trust me. Why can some things be known by the monkey but not me? Fine, some things are better if fewer people know. I will work harder in the future to hide it from the red-faced monkey. "
Niu Youdao: "Fine, I will give you a fair chance. I will give you a simple test. Whoever can do it will be the host."
Guan Fangyi blinked and asked curiously. "What is it?"
"The cesspool!" Niu Youdao looked back. "Whoever can jump in and stay in there for a day will be the host."
Guan Fangyi's face twitched. She would not do such a disgusting thing. "Pervert!"
"He is that perverted." Niu Youdao moved his face closer to hers. "He can pick up things that fall into the cesspool and eat them. For example, the letter just now. Can you do it?"
Judging from the other party's words, Yuan Gang seemed to have done such a thing before. Guan Fangyi was instantly disgusted and took a step back as if Niu Youdao's mouth could spit out feces. She said in a rather dissatisfied tone, "I'm a woman and he's a man. Isn't this too unfair? Why don't you let him compete with a woman in childbirth?"
Niu Youdao shook his head helplessly. He couldn't stand women. When they needed it, they hoped that men and women would be equal. When they didn't need it, they claimed that they were women. Both sides were reasonable. In fact, they were just being unreasonable. He asked, "Can you give birth to a child alone?"
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes. "Of course."
Niu Youdao: "If you find a man to help you give birth, can't he find a woman to help him? Under the same conditions, you can only give birth to one child a year, but he can give birth to a hundred children a year. What do you have to compete? "
Guan Fangyi didn't know what he meant for a moment, and when she did, she was speechless. She realized that it was very difficult for her to reason with this person, so she said, "Shameless!"
Niu Youdao laughed and suddenly tilted his head to look at the sky, only to see a bird flying over from afar.
The person who came was Great Zen Mountain Sect Leader Huang Lie.
Huang Lie still followed the rules and did not barge straight into the Thatched Cottage Villa. Instead, he landed outside the mountain gate and let the guards know.
Upon learning of Huang Lie's arrival, it was natural for Niu Youdao to invite him. He also personally went out of the villa to welcome him. However, when he left the loft, he had someone call Duan Hu over. After whispering some instructions into Duan Hu's ear, Duan Hu nodded and left.
After receiving permission to enter, Huang Lie and the others rode on the bird and flew out of the mountain gate, landing outside the Thatched Cottage Villa.
Only three people had come: Huang Lie, an accompanying elder, and a disciple.
The host and guest exchanged pleasantries, and Huang Lie had a smile on his face. What he was worried about previously didn't happen, and the benefits of the three provinces' territories were all smoothly given to Great Zen Mountain. Niu Youdao didn't touch it, so how could he not be happy?
Niu Youdao invited them in, and Huang Lie let the two people in. He didn't enter, but invited Niu Youdao to walk around outside the villa.
Niu Youdao readily agreed, and they strolled around the mountains and rivers.
Without anyone else around, Niu Youdao, who was pointing out the surrounding terrain, returned to the main topic and asked, "Sect Leader Huang, is there a reason for you to come here?"
Huang Lie's smile disappeared, and he sighed. "What else can there be? Yan Sect has internal and external troubles, and is on the brink of a storm. Brother, are you not worried at all?"
He wasn't the only one who was worried. All of the cultivation sects in Yan Sect, including the three major sects, were worried about the situation.
Niu Youdao accompanied him. "What is the use of worrying? We can't even control the internal affairs of Yan Sect, much less the intervention of the other countries. This is not something we can stop with our power. If the sky collapses, there will be someone taller to hold it up. The three major sects will be the first to bear the brunt, let them deal with it first, we can only watch. "
He didn't reveal Tong Mo's plot against Nan Zhou.
Huang Lie, "If Yan Sect collapses, how can we have a good time? How can the powers of the other countries allow us to continue to occupy this area? Of course, Brother, you are different. From what I see now, Brother, you are farsighted. You don't occupy territory, and you don't need to rely on territory to support so many people. It is easy to leave, and you can go anywhere. But Great Zen Mountain has so many disciples, where can they go if they leave Yan Sect? Which of the other countries can be at ease with Great Zen Mountain invading? "
Niu Youdao only listened to such words. It was easy to say, but it wasn't so easy for him to leave. What about Celestial Retaining Sect, Ling Xiu Mountain, and Fuyun Sect? Throw them away? Give up Nan Zhou's Shang Chaozong? If he really did that, it would be no different from shooting himself in the foot. In the future, there would no longer be any sects willing to serve him, and the feudal lords would no longer trust him. Even if he could extricate himself, he would only end up bowing to others in the future. Not to mention the fact that all his years of hard work would go down the drain, he would only be left to work for someone else, and that would truly be beyond his control.
Huang Lie continued, "I heard that the ones who personally intervened in Cang Prefecture were none other than your sworn brother, Quan Taifeng, and sworn sister, Hui Qingping. It seems like they didn't succeed with you, so they went to Cang Prefecture. In the end, they succeeded in Cang Prefecture and successfully stirred up a dispute."
The two of them walked to the top of a mountain and stopped to look into the distance. Niu Youdao stood with his sword and shook his head. "This is too one-sided. From the looks of it now, it was premeditated. Otherwise, how could Cang State betray us in such a short period of time? It can be seen that the Yan State, which is riddled with holes, has long been targeted by others."
Huang Lie thought about it and nodded. He felt that it was reasonable. Without careful preparation, even if Quan Taifeng and Hui Qingping succeeded in Cang State, the matter wouldn't have exploded so quickly. Qu Yunkong and Wu Gongshan were the sect leader of a cultivation sect in Cang State, and Wu Gongshan was a feudal lord with an army. Without careful planning, they couldn't be killed so easily. Quan Taifeng and Hui Qingping should have made preparations in Cang State before they came.
With this, it could be seen that the purpose of the two of them coming to Thatched Cottage Villa was to use Nanzhou to add fuel to the fire in the Yan State. Nanzhou wasn't the main chess piece.
Huang Lie's purpose for coming here was to understand how Niu Youdao was prepared to face the current situation. He also knew that Niu Youdao was unwilling to give up Nanzhou. At this time, there was no conflict between the two sides. Their goal was the same, they both wanted to protect Nanzhou.
From a certain point of view, it could be said that the Great Zen Mountain recognized Niu Youdao's ability and hoped that Niu Youdao would have a way to resolve the situation.
However, Niu Youdao really couldn't do anything at the moment. It wasn't his place to point fingers at the Yan Imperial Court, let alone influence the will of Han and Song.
The situation of the war between the nations was too big. His grasp of the situation was limited, and he couldn't make an effective judgment. His current strength couldn't move anything.
Without getting the answer he wanted, Huang Lie wasn't in a hurry to leave. Niu Youdao asked him to stay as a guest, so he agreed to stay for a night before leaving.
When he returned to Thatched Cottage Villa with Niu Youdao, Huang Lie's pupils suddenly shrank. He noticed the familiar figure on the high pavilion. The man in flowery clothes was leaning against the railing …
In the evening, a golden wing flew into a house.
Gongsun Bu, who was in the room, suddenly turned his head and looked at the golden wing resting on the windowsill. The golden wing cooed and looked around the room.
Gongsun Bu's expression changed.
Hearing the commotion, a disciple came in from outside and was about to take the golden wing when Gongsun Bu stopped him. He waved his hand and signaled for the disciple to leave.
The disciple accepted the order and left. He didn't think much of it. Perhaps it was a secret that was not suitable for others to ask about. Mount Five Liang was in charge of such matters and understood the rules.
Without anyone else's help, Gongsun Bu personally took the golden wing on the windowsill and entered …
"Lord Yuan, you've appeared again."
Duan Hu quickly barged into Yuan Gang's room. When he saw Yuan Gang, he quickly pointed in the direction of Mount Five Liang.
Not long after he returned from his disguise, he suddenly received urgent news from Mount Five Liang and immediately rushed to see Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang, who was wiping the Three Howling Saber, suddenly had a glint in his eyes. He said coldly, "Quick, according to the plan, let Wu Sanliang and Lei Zongkang follow immediately. Use the Red Hunting Condor!"
"Alright!" Duan Hu quickly turned and flew away.
Yuan Gang raised his saber and held it horizontally in front of him. He looked at his own shadow on the shining saber with a heavy heart.
Some time ago, not long after he activated the spies he had planted in Mount Five Liang, he had just combed through the news of Mount Five Liang and discovered something unusual.
Not long after the attack on Thatched Cottage Villa, a golden wing went to Gongsun Bu's place.
This was not a big deal. Everyone had their own private matters, so it was not worth making a fuss about. However, Gongsun Bu's position was not to be trifled with. Niu Youdao had entrusted all his family's assets to Yuan Gang, so he had to be more careful.
After that, he secretly investigated all the golden wings on Mount Five Liang and combed through them according to the time they had been in position. He actually found that the golden wing that contacted Gongsun Bu was not among all the golden wings on Mount Five Liang.
However, the opportunity had been missed. That golden wing had already left, and there were no more clues to pursue.
However, he believed that the golden wing that contacted Gongsun Bu would not appear just once. There would definitely be a second time. Therefore, he quickly began to secretly make arrangements. Once the golden wing appeared again, he would immediately lock onto it.
In the end, not long after he set up the arrangements, it appeared again …
Under the setting sun, a golden wing had just taken off from the sect courtyard of Mount Five Liang. A Red Hunting Condor immediately flew out from the nearby forest and chased after it.
Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang crouched on the back of the Red Hunting Condor, their eyes fixed on the black dot in the distance …
The kitchen of South Mountain Temple was busy. Since Huang Lie was here, there would definitely be a banquet to entertain him. Niu Youdao would personally be the host.
Guan Fangyi barged into Niu Youdao's room at this time. She usually had to accompany him on such occasions.
When the two of them walked out of the eaves, Guan Fangyi asked casually, "Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang suddenly asked for a Red Hunting Condor and left secretly. Did you arrange for them to do something sneaky again?"
