Although the end of the Secret Heaven Capital meant that the war between the countries had thawed, Yan State's eagerness to make a move was beyond many people's expectation.
Zhao State was especially angry. Negotiation? What negotiation? Was this the sincerity of negotiation?
Apart from anger, there was also uneasiness and fear. Could it be that Yan State was determined to win this war? Otherwise, why would he start the war so easily?
Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain were the first to lose their cool. They rushed to the Purple Golden Cave together. Naturally, they stayed at home.
"What does Niu Youdao want to do? He started the war without our consent! "
Above the cliff, under the canopy of green pines, one could enjoy the wondrous view of the clouds. The leaders of the three sects met, and Meng Xuan scolded everyone he saw.
Long Xiu said in a deep voice, "This Niu Youdao is too bold. He doesn't even care about the existence of the three sects. He's completely out of control!"
Gong Lince pondered. Yan State's current national strength couldn't swallow Zhao State. Even if they could win, it would exhaust Yan State's strength, which would only benefit others. Now that Zhao State was willing to cooperate with them to suppress South Korea, Niu Youdao disregarded everything and started the war. What exactly did he want to do?
"He shouldn't be so reckless, right? Could there be some misunderstanding? Should we find him and talk about it? "Gong Lince asked hesitantly.
"Misunderstanding?" Meng Xuan stared at him and said, "The war on the front line is already very fierce. It was Meng Shanming who started it. How could it be a misunderstanding?"
Long Xiu sneered, "Talk to him? There's news from the Thatched Cottage Villa that Niu Youdao has disappeared again. When we find him, we don't know how the war will turn out. "
Gong Lince also had a headache. He couldn't blame them for being angry. Yan State didn't dare to disobey the three sects. Yan State had already controlled Meng Shanming's army. They thought that they couldn't start the war without the consent of the three sects. Who knew that Meng Shanming actually avoided the Yan State and started the war on the Jinzhou State.
Who knew that without Yan State's consent, the Jinzhou State dared to attack Zhao State!
When they found Meng Shan Ming, Meng Shan Ming looked like he was ready to be punished.
Meng Shan Ming was ruthless, steady, and accurate. His surprise attack had hurt the Zhao Kingdom. Facing the furious counterattack of the Zhao Kingdom, the flames of war were already burning.
The three major factions of Yan Country had lost their temper with Meng Shan Ming. Meng Shan Ming had a great reputation in the military, and he had been in control of the military for a long time after he returned to the military. Moreover, almost all the commanders were his former subordinates. Who dared to kill Meng Shan Ming? One mishap and the Yan army would be in chaos!
At the very least, the State of Zhao had already started their counterattack. If they replaced Meng Shanming now, once the Yan army was defeated, the State of Zhao would not be polite. They would continue their previous strategy and continue to invade the Yan territory. Which of the three sects dared to take this risk?
The fire was burning. They could only support Meng Shan Ming to continue the war. Even if they wanted to negotiate with the State of Zhao, they had to win first.
Speaking of which, the Yan Kingdom was the first to start the war. As long as they could win, the three sects would not be too angry. What they were really angry about was that the Yan Kingdom's army had already lost control. They did not listen to them and were actually led by the nose by Niu Youdao. This was something that the three sects could not tolerate!
"Then what do you want?" Gong Lince asked.
Meng Xuan said, "We can't let that Niu Youdao live. We must get rid of him. Also, Shang Chaozong and his people must be wiped out!"
Gong Lince understood what he meant. The three sects could not allow this to continue. The people from the Southern State had completely trampled on the three sects' bottom line. He hesitated and said, "Is this the right time to make a move?"
Long Xiu said, "Of course we can't make a move now. We don't want to alert the enemy. Let them fight first. When the fight is over, the State of Zhao will not dare to act rashly anymore. The State of Korea is also competing with the State of Song. When the time comes, the external environment will be stable. We will have enough time to wipe out the forces in the Southern State!"
Meng Xuan said, "There are some things we all know. It's better to get rid of the thorn in the Southern State. This way, the three sects will not have to fight each other, and we can continue to maintain the stability of the Yan Empire."
This was the purpose of their visit. They wanted to start planning to wipe out the forces in the Southern State. As long as the three sects did not fight each other, there was no force in the Yan Empire that could compete with the three sects. With the three sects' control over the Yan Empire, it would not be a problem to solve this problem together.
What could Gong Lince say? Oppose? He couldn't find a reason to oppose. He couldn't say that the Purple Golden Cave was secretly colluding with Niu Youdao, could he?
The matter was settled. After watching Long Xiu and Meng Xuan leave, Gong Lince stood under the pine tree at the top of the mountain and frowned. He was a little angry. If it was the previous Niu Youdao, he would not have dared to do this. Gong Lince didn't know if he thought that the Purple Golden Cave was supporting him!
He didn't guess wrong. If it wasn't for the decision to join the Purple Golden Cave, Niu Youdao would not have dared to do this. Ever since he made that decision, he could be said to have let go of his hands and feet. He even dared to kill the Elder that Xiao Yao Palace sent to the Southern State for a secret discussion.
"Someone, ask Elder Yan to come here!" Gong Lince turned his head and shouted.
Yan Li quickly arrived. After greeting, he asked, "Did the two of you come here for the matter of Niu Youdao?"
"They caused such a big trouble. What else could it be if not for this?" Gong Lince roughly explained the purpose of the two's visit. Then, he warned, "You are familiar with Niu Youdao. Find a way to contact him and ask him about the situation! If he dares to act recklessly, then don't blame the Purple Golden Cave for being impolite to him! "
Yan Li shook his head, "Sect Leader, in my opinion, this matter is not that simple. Doesn't he know that doing this is a taboo and that he is seeking death? Do you think that he is seeking death? According to my understanding of him, he is not a reckless person. His methods are extraordinary, and I have personally experienced them. If he dares to do this, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that he has a backup plan. Our three sects may not be able to easily take care of him. This guy is not that easy to kill! "
Gong Lince was silent for a moment. Slowly, he said, "Let's find him first!"
… …
Outside the Qi Capital, a group of carriages came out of the city gate and headed east.
When they reached the vast prairie, the sound of hooves thundered behind them. Zhuang Hong and her son, who were in the carriage, looked at each other.
In the other carriage, Yu Cang's expression tightened. He quickly gave his disciple, Dugu Jing, a look.
Dugu Jing immediately got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft of the carriage. He gave the accompanying guards a warning.
"Mister Yu Cang, Mister Yu Cang, please wait!" A general arrived first and smiled at Yu Cang, who was smiling inside the carriage. He said in a clear voice, "Knowing that Mister has left, Great General and Steward Bu Xun are here to send you off!"
Yu Cang replied. Dugu Jing, who was standing on the shaft of the carriage, bowed and nodded at him, indicating that he was right. Huyan Wuhen and Bu Xun were indeed here.
"Stop the carriage!" Yu Cang immediately ordered.
The carriages stopped. When Yu Cang got out of the carriage, a large number of cavalrymen had already separated to the left and right of the carriages. Huyan Wuhen and Bu Xun were riding side by side.
Yu Cang jumped off the carriage. Huyan Wuhen and the others also jumped off their mounts.
Huyan Residence's steward, Cha Hu, was vigilant of his surroundings. He followed closely behind Huyan Wuhen and coldly examined Yu Cang and his men.
"How could I dare to trouble Great General and Steward to send me off?" Yu Cang politely cupped his hands.
Huyan Wuhen cupped his hands in return. "Why did Mister leave without saying goodbye?"
Yu Cang replied, "Great General and Steward are both busy people. There's no need to disturb me when I'm traveling back and forth."
"Mister sure is carefree." Bu Xun smiled and waved his hand behind him. "Her Majesty learned that Mister has left and specially ordered this old servant to send you off. This is a small token of Her Majesty's appreciation."
Someone behind him brought over a box as a gift. Yu Cang politely thanked them, but he could only let his disciple take it.
Dugu Jing took the box and opened it to find that it was filled with gold notes. She immediately showed it to her master.
Yu Cang was astonished. "Why did Her Majesty gift so many valuables?"
Bu Xun smiled. "It's not a gift. It should have been Mister's. Her Majesty bought it when she learned that Mister had hired someone to help Fu Fang Garden. Her Majesty said that Fu Fang Garden will be kept for Mister. When Mister is free, you can directly stay in Fu Fang Garden. "
Yu Cang naturally thanked him profusely. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had helped Fu Fang Garden because the State of Zhao was about to wage war and needed a lot of money. There was no harm in preparing more money. Moreover, this matter would be exposed sooner or later. At that time, Fu Fang Garden would definitely be confiscated by the State of Qi. Rather than that, he might as well exchange it for money and take it away. He didn't expect that it would be bought by the Vast Cloud Painting.
Both sides exchanged greetings. When Huyan Wuhen asked when he would return, someone behind him received a message from Golden Wing. He quickly walked to Bu Xun's side and whispered a few words into his ear.
Bu Xun waved his hand, gesturing for the person to leave. "Mister Yu Cang, I'm afraid I can't send you any further. I just received news that the State of Yan has declared war on the State of Zhao. Her Majesty urgently summons Great General and this old servant. "This wasn't a secret. Sooner or later, everyone in the world would know about it. It wasn't a big deal to say it out loud.
Yu Cang grunted. His eyes flickered as he hurriedly said, "I've already sent you far enough. There's no need to send you any further. The State's affairs are more important!"
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Yu Cang stroked his beard as he watched them leave. At the same time, a Golden Wing descended from the sky.
Dugu Jing received the message from Golden Wing. After reading it, he went to his side and said in a low voice, "That's right. The State of Yan has indeed declared war on the State of Zhao. It was started by Jinzhou!"
Yu Cang looked up at the sky as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He said with some excitement, "Niu Youdao is indeed a man of his word. He didn't disappoint this old man. The price we paid was not in vain. It's worth it!"
Dugu Jing could understand why his master was excited. He was also very excited.
Previously, they had also received news that the State of Yan was negotiating peace with the State of Zhao. Without the consent of the three major Yan factions, the Yan imperial court would definitely not be able to make the decision. They were very worried. After all, the three major Yan factions controlled the Yan army. Who knew that the war would still happen outside of their control. Now, it seemed that Niu Youdao really didn't let them down!
