"According to the intelligence, the two countries are in peace talks. Isn't Niu Youdao afraid that the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom will punish him?"
Emperor Qi's Haoyun Tu paced back and forth in the hall. Slowly, he asked.
Huyan Wuhen and Bu Xun were summoned back urgently because Haoyun Tu wanted to ask Huyan Wuhen's opinion on the war.
Did the Yan Kingdom have the confidence to win by making a sudden move? If he did, how long would he fight?
He had to figure out all the problems in order to make timely decisions, and Huyan Wuhen was good at this.
In Huyan Wuhen's opinion, even if the Yan Kingdom could defeat Zhao, they would not be able to annex it.
In reality, annexing a country was not as simple as winning. Occupying a country's territory would bring about many troubles. The survivors of the defeated country would not be satisfied, and there would be resistance from the old and young of their homeland. How could the Yan Kingdom have the power and military strength to suppress them?
With such a large territory under control, and the scattered military strength of the country, the Yan Kingdom would collapse if it dragged on for too long. It would be difficult for the troops to regroup and defend against a random attack from the foreign enemy. It was not realistic at all.
In short, the current Yan Kingdom was weak and did not have the power to annex Zhao at all!
But Niu Youdao's actions were really puzzling. Haoyun Tu had this question.
The funniest thing was that Niu Youdao had sent a message to threaten them, saying that the cultivators of Qi in the secret territory had angered him by chasing him, and that he wanted to attack Qi!
Haoyun Tu was angry and amused at the same time. Who was he to threaten them? What did he use to threaten them?
However, there was one thing that had to be admitted. Back then, that fellow in the Capital of Qi had finally grown up. His wings had hardened, and he even dared to threaten the Qi Kingdom!
After the discussion in the hall, they could not figure out Niu Youdao's intention to threaten them and attack Zhao at the same time.
After Huyan Wuhen left, Haoyun Tu walked to the table and lifted up a piece of paper. He stared at the paper and asked, "He went up the mountain again?"
Others might not understand, but Bu Xun was very clear. He was talking about the Golden King Haoqi, and the so-called ascending the mountain referred to the location of the three great sects outside the city.
Nowadays, the King of Jin was in frequent contact with the people of the three major sects, and he often came into contact with the generals in the army. It was difficult for the latter to avoid him because of his identity as the eldest son of the Emperor, which gave some generals headaches.
"Yes!" Bu Xun answered.
"Are you that impatient?" Vast Cloud Map sighed faintly and put down the paper in his hand. "Guaren is busy with state affairs, and his mother died a little early. In the end, he lacks discipline. Guaren … no longer has any hope for him."
Bu Xun lowered his head in silence, as if he didn't understand what was said. He didn't make any comments.
The mountain was majestic and the forest was dense. A large bird flew close to the mountain and three people jumped down. They were Niu Youdao, Yun Ji and Wu Zhaoxing.
Guan Fangyi, who had been waiting in the forest for a few days, revealed a smile on her face. Niu Youdao also walked over with a smile. They had not seen each other for a long time.
Guan Fangyi snorted coldly and said, "You called me here, but made me wait for a few days."
Niu Youdao replied cheerfully, "I was delayed by some matters."
Guan Fangyi nodded slightly to Yun Ji in greeting. Her gaze fell on Wu Zhaoxing and she asked curiously, "This is?"
Niu Youdao introduced seriously, "The expert ranked sixth on the Rankings of Alchemy. From now on, he will be one of us."
"Wu Zhaoxing?" Guan Fangyi was surprised. She was even more surprised that he had become one of them.
Wu Zhaoxing was also very helpless. After the commotion in the Secret Territory, he had offended a lot of people by following Niu Youdao. Although he had a secret background, he couldn't make it public. Now, he didn't know where to go, and Niu Youdao took the opportunity to rope him in.
In the end, he contacted the faction behind him for instructions. The person behind him also didn't expect things to turn out this way, and didn't know what to do with him. At the moment, it seemed that following Niu Youdao was his only choice.
Since Niu Youdao himself wasn't afraid of being implicated by the Devil Sect, what other opinions could the Devil Sect have? There was really no other way. Without the protection of a faction on the surface, Wu Zhaoxing's situation would be very dangerous. Hence, the dignified expert ranked sixth on the Rankings of Alchemy sought refuge with Thatched Cottage Villa.
Wu Zhaoxing himself was also sick of it. Why was it that after meeting this fellow Niu Youdao, he couldn't get rid of him for no reason?
It was obvious that Niu Youdao was not trying to rope him in because he had nothing better to do. Wasn't it because he liked his fighting ability?
He became Niu Youdao's fighter in the Secret Territory, and after leaving the Secret Territory, he still had to become Niu Youdao's fighter. What was going on?
Wu Zhaoxing was actually a little depressed. He was indignant, but there was nothing he could do. It was as if he had boarded a pirate ship and it was hard to get off.
"Are you hurt?" Guan Fangyi asked when she noticed the white cloth wrapped around Niu Youdao's left palm.
Niu Youdao smiled faintly. "It's just a minor injury."
Guan Fangyi paid attention to his complexion, but didn't notice anything amiss. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly reached out her hand to ask, "Where's the Tianji Pill I gave you?"
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly. "You gave it to me, and now you want to take it back?"
Guan Fangyi's eyes widened. "That is a panacea worth millions. It was given to you as a backup. Since it's just a minor injury and you can't use it, I naturally have to take it back."
"You!" Niu Youdao shook his head helplessly. He didn't say anything else. He reached into his belt and dug out a wax pellet with a Tianji Pill inside and tossed it to her.
Guan Fangyi caught the pellet and checked it. After confirming that it was a Tianji Pill, she believed Niu Youdao's words. He probably wasn't seriously injured, or else he wouldn't have kept this Tianji Pill. This guy in front of her wasn't a stingy person.
Wu Zhaoxing and Yun Ji glanced at each other. They both knew that Niu Youdao was seriously injured and only recovered after a few days of recuperation.
They also knew that the West Sea Demon King had given a Tianji Pill to Niu Youdao.
Guan Fangyi put away the pellet and asked, "What's the situation in the Secret Territory?"
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly. "It's a little dangerous, and the situation is complicated. I can't explain it in a short time. Let's talk about it later."
What could he say? How wise and resourceful he was, how he made all the factions run circles around him? Was there a need for him to brag about this?
Seeing that he wasn't willing to say more, Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes. Was there a need to ask? This was the kind of person he was. If he wasn't willing to say more, there was no point in asking.
After that, Niu Youdao asked about the situation in Thatched Cottage Villa. It was more or less within his expectations.
After explaining the general situation, Guan Fangyi said unhappily, "They're all fence-sitters. They're all unreliable. How do you plan to deal with them?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Everyone has a choice. There will always be times when the road ahead is forked. No one wants the road ahead to be too bumpy. It's normal for them to hesitate and consider which path to take. As long as they're still on the same path, it's fine. There's no point in being calculative."
Guan Fangyi said unhappily, "I knew you'd be like this. Come here, I have something to tell you. "She reached out and pulled on Niu Youdao's arm, dragging him away.
"What's the matter?"
"It's about the red-faced monkey."
When he heard that it was about Yuan Gang, Niu Youdao immediately followed her to the side obediently.
Guan Fangyi sighed and said, "Some things can't be said in front of others. I'm afraid you can't even imagine the identity of that 'Su Zhao'."
Niu Youdao looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Guan Fangyi sighed for a while and announced the answer word by word, "The wife of the Governor of Song, Luo Zhao. Her name is Feng Guaner!"
Niu Youdao frowned and said, "So it's not someone from the Waning Moon Pavilion. I was overthinking. If that's the case, let's let her go. Have you let her go?"
"It's not a matter of whether I let her go or not. The key is that I did as you said. The monkey and Feng Guaner slept together after drinking …" Guan Fangyi told him what happened and said in an aggrieved tone, "This is the first time I've done such a wicked thing in my life. Because of this, I was slapped by the monkey. Why? If I want to hit someone, it should be you! Let me tell you, for your sake, I didn't fight back. I just got slapped! "
The monkey slept with Luo Zhao's wife? Niu Youdao's cheeks twitched. This was something he could never have imagined. Who would have thought that the woman was Luo Zhao's wife? He asked, "Did the Song Kingdom react?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head, "Not at all."
"Oh!" Niu Youdao was a little surprised. The Song Kingdom didn't react at all when something like this happened. It seemed strange. It was said that Luo Zhao's wife was from the High Heaven Pavilion. This news should not be wrong. Whether it was the High Heaven Pavilion or Luo Zhao, they would not tolerate such a great shame!
After a moment of silence, Niu Youdao sighed, "I'm afraid this matter has gotten out of hand. Inform Mount Five Liang and let the spies in the Song Kingdom find a way to find out what happened to Feng Guaner. "
Guan Fangyi said, "Since nothing happened, then forget it. Why are you still looking for trouble? It's not something to be proud of. Let bygones be bygones."
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly, "Hong Niang, I know the monkey better than you. To put it bluntly, he is stubborn. To put it nicely, he is a man who values relationships and is a responsible man. If the woman is living well, the monkey may keep quiet and not disturb her. But if something happens to the woman, the monkey will not ignore it. If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid the monkey has already used the spies in Mount Five Liang to keep an eye on her. If something really happened, the monkey didn't react because I haven't returned yet. I don't want anything to happen to the Thatched Cottage Villa. Now that I'm back … quickly find out the woman's situation and predict the monkey's actions. Don't let him do anything stupid. "
Guan Fangyi understood and immediately raised her hand to summon Xu Laoliu and gave the order.
After Xu Laoliu left, she said worriedly, "Yan and Zhao are in the middle of peace talks. You have gone too far by forcibly provoking the war. I'm afraid the three major sects are already furious!"
Niu Youdao said, "I killed the elders of the three major sects of Zhao State in Heaven Valley. I didn't just offend one sect, but all three sects of Zhao State. The destruction of the people of Zhao State who entered the Secret Land of Heaven Capital can also be said to be related to this. I have formed a deadly feud with them. The power of the entire Zhao State is too great a threat to me. If I keep it alive, it will bring me a lot of trouble in the future. It's better to take this opportunity to destroy the Zhao State and completely eradicate the soil of the three major sects!"
Destroy the country? Guan Fangyi was shocked. After following Niu Youdao for so long, she didn't realize how much power Niu Youdao had accumulated until this moment!
After thinking for a while, she sighed, "It seems that the Waning Moon Pavilion is really going to benefit from it!"
