Shang Chaozong understood the reason, but Guo Qingkong and his party came to meet in secret. Obviously, they had the cooperation of the Great Zen Mountain.
The surrounding area was guarded by the cultivators of the Great Zen Mountain. Without the cooperation of the Great Zen Mountain, Guo Qingkong would not be able to see him.
He must have the cooperation of the Great Zen Mountain. If the Great Zen Mountain did not cooperate, Guo Qingkong would not come to meet him. After all, there were people of the Spirit Sword Mountain and the Purple Golden Cave watching him.
The arrival of this letter exposed the matter, which meant that the secret meeting was not hidden from the Thatched Cottage Villa.
This was tantamount to telling this side that the unusual movement in the Southern Region Provincial Governor's Mansion could not be hidden from the eyes of the Thatched Cottage Villa. It was clearly telling Shang Chaozong that he had people around him.
However, in the current situation, this was no longer important. If he wanted to clean up, he could clean up all the people around him at any time.
However, under the circumstance that Niu Youdao was not harmful to him, there was no need to do so if he did not do anything against his conscience. Usually, Niu Youdao did not interfere with the military and political affairs of the Southern Region. It was understandable that he was concerned about this side, but it was impossible for him to ignore it.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if he knew that there were people from the Thatched Cottage Villa around him, he would not make a move. To some extent, he was a member of the Thatched Cottage Villa.
On the other hand, if he really made a move and did that, it meant that he did not want to be a member of the Thatched Cottage Villa anymore, and he would have to fall out with Niu Youdao!
However, when Niu Youdao was here, he never issued such a warning to this side. Now that Niu Youdao was not here.
Therefore, Shang Chaozong had another concern. He asked, "Who is representing the Thatched Cottage Villa to make a statement?"
Lan Ruoting pondered and said, "I'm afraid that the person who intercepted and killed Guo Qingkong's party is no small matter. This is not something that an ordinary person can do. In the absence of Daoye, who in the Thatched Cottage Villa dares to go against Xiao Yao Palace? Who dares to kill the Elders of Xiao Yao Palace? Who can bear the consequences? Except for Daoye, no one in the Thatched Cottage Villa dares to do this! "
Shang Chaozong was bewildered: "This is Daoye's idea?"
Lan Ruoting said, "The person who can make this decision is none other than Daoye. It should be Daoye's arrangement before he entered the Mysterious Realm of Heaven Capital. A person like Daoye was someone who had great foresight. It was impossible for him to leave without doing anything. The Thatched Cottage Villa should only be the executor! "
With a grave expression, Shang Chaozong stared at the sword in his hand and said, "The Thatched Cottage Villa actually attacked Xiao Yao Palace!"
In this regard, Lan Ruoting was also very surprised. Even when Niu Youdao was still around, he did not dare to do this. Now that he was gone, the Thatched Cottage Villa was baring its fangs.
Perhaps their fangs were thick and strong, but he didn't think that the Thatched Cottage Villa had the strength to fight against Xiao Yao Palace head-on!
Unbeknownst to him, Niu Youdao had already considered the overall situation. The war had caused the influence of the Southern Prefecture to be unprecedented. There were some things that he could no longer avoid. The three big sects of the Yan clan had reached the point where they had to face them!
Before entering the Mysterious Realm of Heaven Capital, he had made an important decision to join the Purple Golden Cave!
At that time, it would not be him, Niu Youdao, who would fight against Xiao Yao Palace, but the Purple Golden Cave. He had nothing to be afraid of. Xiao Yao Palace could not threaten him!
"Prince, this is not a bad thing. With the Thatched Cottage Villa blocking in front of you, it will save you a lot of trouble. You might as well wait and see." Lan Ruoting sighed.
Shang Chaozong said, "Guo Qingkong came to have a secret meeting with me, but he suddenly died. Xiao Yao Palace will definitely demand an explanation from me!"
Lan Ruoting pointed at the letter in his hand and said, "This is an explanation! This is also the intention of the Thatched Cottage Villa, or Daoye, to keep Prince out of this matter. Since the Thatched Cottage Villa has made a move, they will naturally respond! "
Shang Chaozong nodded slightly as if deep in thought.
At this moment, someone came to report, "Prince, the Great Zen Mountain's Sect Master Huang is here!"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other and immediately left to welcome him.
After a while, the two returned to the inner garden. There was one more person. It was the Great Zen Mountain's Sect Master, Huang Lie.
As they strolled in the garden, polite words were unavoidable. After the polite words, Huang Lie changed the topic, "I heard that Elder Guo of Xiao Yao Palace is here. How did his discussion with Prince go?"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other and knew the other's intention. The Great Zen Mountain and Xiao Yao Palace must have done something behind the scenes for Guo Qingkong to come to this secret meeting.
The two could see that once Niu Youdao left, there was no one to control the situation in South Prefecture. The related parties were all eager to make a move. When Niu Youdao was here, the Great Zen Mountain didn't dare to do this.
Shang Chaozong's strategy was to be bold and not to beat around the bush. Since he had decided on something, he wouldn't hesitate. He said directly, "Something happened to Elder Guo."
"Uh …" Huang Lie was startled and quickly asked, "What happened?"
Lan Ruoting took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Huang Lie received the letter and read it. He was shocked. "How dare the Thatched Cottage Villa kill Guo Qingkong and his group?"
Of course, the Thatched Cottage Villa didn't say that they did it.
However, as long as one wasn't stupid and had a certain understanding of the situation in South Prefecture, they would be able to understand the meaning of this letter.
The words that Huang Lie had prepared beforehand instantly vanished into thin air.
The Thatched Cottage Villa's attitude was aggressive and had already started to fight with Xiao Yao Palace. With such confidence, they even dared to kill the people of Xiao Yao Palace. Why would they be afraid of the Great Zen Mountain?
The Thatched Cottage Villa had already made its attitude clear. If anyone dared to touch the interests of the Thatched Cottage Villa, the Thatched Cottage Villa would fight to the death. There was no need for the Great Zen Mountain to fight in front for Xiao Yao Palace!
Since the two sides were fighting, the Great Zen Mountain didn't have to fight personally. Xiao Yao Palace could defeat Niu Youdao, but the South Prefecture still couldn't leave the Great Zen Mountain.
If even Xiao Yao Palace wasn't a match for Niu Youdao, wouldn't the Great Zen Mountain be looking for trouble by jumping out?
They wouldn't offend either side. They could just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!
After returning the letter to Lan Ruoting, Huang Lie changed his expression quickly and cheerfully changed the topic.
Since he had decided to leave, Huang Lie didn't stay for long. He walked around the Prefecture City of South Prefecture and then left …
Under the dim light, Yuan Gang and Su Zhao sat across from each other and drank.
Su Zhao was born in a wealthy family and had seen all kinds of food and drinks. However, she had to admit that the Thatched Cottage Villa was the best in the world. There was no other place with delicious food.
She drank with Yuan Gang and poured wine for him from time to time.
She could tell that Yuan Gang had something on his mind and was in a bad mood.
Yuan Gang was indeed in a bad mood because of the situation in the Prefecture City of South Prefecture.
Shang Chaozong disappointed him. Daoye had supported him with all his heart and soul. However, after Daoye left, Shang Chaozong actually met secretly with the people of Xiao Yao Palace behind their backs and didn't report it to them!
Although they had acted in time to restrain the situation, he regretted dragging Daoye into this.
If it wasn't for him, Daoye wouldn't have supported Shang Chaozong. Indirectly, he was the one who caused Daoye to enter the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm!
He blamed himself, but this was what Niu Youdao wanted to see.
Actually, from Niu Youdao's point of view, Shang Chaozong didn't do anything wrong. Without the ability to judge the situation, how could he accomplish anything? Shang Chaozong wasn't alone. With so many people's lives, how could he go down the dark path?
He only hoped that Yuan Gang wouldn't be too wishful thinking. He was afraid that Yuan Gang would go out and do something dangerous when he was gone.
He had spies by Shang Chaozong's side. Before he left, he arranged some things for Guan Fangyi to do. Shang Chaozong's spies were handed over to Guan Fangyi. He also arranged for Yuan Gang to supervise them.
He was sure that after he left, someone would definitely contact Shang Chaozong. He wanted Yuan Gang to see what reality was like.
If he couldn't come back alive, this was all he could do. He knew that personality determined one's fate. He could stop Yuan Gang for a while, but he couldn't stop Yuan Gang forever.
A man and a woman drank alone. As they drank, they became impulsive and caused trouble.
Under the dim light, the other party was also hazy. Unknowingly, they had embraced each other, their necks intertwined, intensely demanding.
Unknowingly, the two of them had rolled onto the bed. Naked, they were entangled intensely …
On the high pavilion, Guan Fangyi stood alone, looking up at the starry sky.
The war was frozen. The situation in the Southern Region seemed stable on the surface, but the treacherous clouds under the surface were already stirring. She was a little apprehensive.
Old Six Xu flashed over and said in a low voice, "Dry firewood and blazing fire, it's done!"
"Sigh!" Guan Fangyi smiled bitterly and sighed. She never thought that she would one day do such a despicable thing.
She didn't want to do such a thing. Yu Cang's arrival made her realize that Niu Youdao was really making arrangements. After that, she made up her mind and kept looking for an opportunity.
'Su Zhao' wanted to find out about the situation outside. Coincidentally, he bumped into Yuan Gang, who was in a bad mood and had lowered his guard. The two of them actually asked for wine and food, so the opportunity came.
Actually, she wanted to get rid of 'Su Zhao' to get rid of future troubles, but Yuan Gang didn't give outsiders the chance.
Not long after Old Six Xu left, Second Brother Wu came again and reported, "Purple Golden Cave and Spirit Sword Mountain have received our news. They have already sent people to the Prefectural City to protect the Prince. Their people are also rushing here to protect him. Xiao Yao Palace shouldn't dare to act blindly without thinking!"
Guan Fangyi nodded, "I hope the situation can be stabilized until Daoye comes back!"
All these things were arranged by Niu Youdao before he left. Niu Youdao was sure that after he left, some people would not be reconciled, and he didn't expect some people to be honest. Therefore, he had already borrowed the people of Waning Moon Pavilion to prepare. Combined with the informants around Shang Chaozong, once he found that the situation was not right, no matter which side was meddling, he would immediately use the people of Waning Moon Pavilion to fight back.
The situation was destined that some people would make trouble, but they wouldn't dare to openly make it big, because it wouldn't be in the interest of all parties. The checks and balances between the three major Yan sects gave Niu Youdao the opportunity to arrange a backup plan to maintain the situation after he left. This was also the reason why Niu Youdao dared to make a killing move.
Niu Youdao didn't want Shang Chaozong to go too far.
Second Brother Wu hesitated. "What if Daoye doesn't come back?"
Guan Fangyi sighed and said, "I can still hold on for a while if he has arranged it. If he doesn't come back, the three major sects, the Great Zen Mountain, the three sects here, the Five Liang Mountain, and even the Prince and the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode of the Golden State will all have to make a move or make a new decision. The Waning Moon Pavilion will also immediately abandon us. By then, it will be a mess. I can't control the situation at all, and no one here can control the situation. When the time comes … we can only fly on our own when a great calamity befalls us! "
