The fact that the Waning Moon Pavilion had such ambitions surprised and surprised many people.
However, what was even more surprising was that some of the generals who had gone on leave or disappeared suddenly appeared in Zhao under the command of General Tian and General Ma.
After General Tian and General Ma purged their generals and backbone, there were naturally a lot of vacancies. Even though they had promoted a lot of generals from their subordinates to reassure the people, there were still many vacancies. Some important positions could not be filled with people. Meanwhile, the missing generals displayed their military talents and came forward to fill the gap.
What was even more shocking was that these people all had a common identity. They were all the students of the world-famous Mr. Yu Cang!
And the world-famous Mr. Yu Cang did not seem to want to hide anymore. He brazenly appeared in the territory under the command of General Tian and General Ma, full of vigor!
…
In the Misty Pavilion, Sha Rulai, who was sitting behind the desk, couldn't help but sneer as he looked at the information about Waning Moon Pavilion and Niu Youdao. "All of them really know how to play."
The feeling of looking down at the world's tricks was sometimes quite interesting.
He had known Yu Cang's identity for a long time. The Misty Pavilion had already noticed Waning Moon Pavilion's strange movements in Zhao a year ago.
Some things were already clear to the Misty Pavilion. Whether it was the preparations made by the Waning Moon Pavilion before they made their move, or the secret letters sent by Niu Youdao through the Five Liang Mountain, the Misty Pavilion knew all about it. They had clearly predicted what the Waning Moon Pavilion and Niu Youdao were going to do.
Perhaps the person in question still thought that he was very smart. Sha Rulai sneered.
…
Hearing the news, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming in the central tent looked at each other speechlessly for a long time.
"Daoye is the teacher of Mr. Yu Cang's nephew!" Shang Chaozong suddenly laughed and broke the silence.
Meng Shanming also smiled bitterly, "So that's how it is. So Daoye has been colluding with them for a long time!"
It seemed that they had finally found the answer to the question that had puzzled them previously.
Shang Chaozong sighed with emotion. "Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the world-famous Mr. Yu Cang would be a member of the Waning Moon Pavilion. From the information gathered by our spies, Mr. Yu Cang's status in the Waning Moon Pavilion is not low. He might even be the mysterious Pavilion Master of the Waning Moon Pavilion!"
Meng Shanming sighed and said, "I'm not sure. Daoye should know about this. Daoye wouldn't take such a big risk without knowing the details. I can go back and ask around. I just don't know if he will tell me. This Old Dao is … "Jiang Yi shook his head. Since he had interacted with Niu Youdao, he would naturally know. If Niu Youdao didn't want to talk about it, it would be useless to ask.
…
"You're right. This time, the State of Zhao is really in danger. I didn't expect Niu Youdao to have such a deep connection with the Waning Moon Pavilion. "
In the Jin Imperial Palace, Tai-shu Xiong sighed while leaning against the railing of the attic.
Shao Pingbo, who was standing behind him, had a tense face. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He remembered that the Waning Moon Pavilion wanted to kill Niu Youdao. How did things suddenly turn out like this?
He clearly remembered that he was the one who had colluded with the Waning Moon Pavilion. He used to have a long-term cooperation with the Waning Moon Pavilion, but his power in the Northern State had collapsed.
In the past, he had been wondering what the Waning Moon Pavilion wanted to do with him. Now he finally found the answer. He guessed that the Waning Moon Pavilion had the same plan for him and Niu Youdao.
If the cooperation had gone well, what Niu Youdao got today would have been his. Unfortunately, he had failed and was no longer the best partner. So the Waning Moon Pavilion took the opportunity to bet on Niu Youdao.
"When the Thatched Cottage Villa was attacked, the group of mysterious masters who protected and helped Niu Youdao should have been from the Waning Moon Pavilion. I should have thought of it earlier." Shao Pingbo sighed softly. There was an indescribable feeling in his tone.
"Yes!" Tai-shu Xiong nodded slightly, but his mood was not the same as Shao Pingbo's. His eyes flashed as he said, "I thought that Niu Youdao was joking. I even laughed at him for having such a powerful army to ally with me. Now it seems that his so-called powerful army was referring to this. Hehe, this is interesting. It seems that I should consider working with him. "
Shao Pingbo wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end. This was not his Northern State. There were all sorts of considerations in his words and actions …
They were not the only ones who suddenly realized that the Waning Moon Pavilion had mobilized their troops. Many people also realized that Niu Youdao had forcefully provoked the war against the Kingdom of Zhao. Everyone knew about the relationship between Niu Youdao and Yu Cang. It was obvious that they had joined forces.
…
"General, what do you mean by this?" Haoyun Tu, who was sitting behind the imperial desk, stood up and walked around the table. He handed over a memorial to Huyan Wuhen.
This memorial was submitted by Huyan Wuhen. It was a petition to resign.
After the incident at the Waning Moon Pavilion, Yu Cang, and other generals, he was also implicated. This was because he was also Yu Cang's student.
Recently, he had noticed that there were more people around him. To put it bluntly, they were people sent by the imperial court to monitor him.
Although he was dissatisfied with this, he could understand the imperial court's fear.
With others as an example, Huyan Wuhen, the General who controlled the most powerful army in the Kingdom of Qi, was terrified when he thought about it.
He was very self-aware and took the initiative to resign, giving up his military power.
When the Emperor saw this memorial, he was a little sick of it. The people under your command were trained by you. If you really had the intention to rebel, what use was there in resigning? Even if you were not in the position, you could just casually call for help. The Kingdom of Qi would be in chaos.
At this moment, Huyan Wuhen said respectfully, "Everyone knows about my relationship with Yu Cang. Previously, Yu Cang lived in the capital of Qi for a long time. I often had dealings with him. This is no small matter. I must avoid arousing suspicion!"
"Avoid arousing suspicion? If you have a clear conscience, why do you need to avoid arousing suspicion? " Hao Yun Tu asked, "Then let me ask you, General. Did you collude with Yu Cang in an improper way?"
Huyan Wuhen said, "I am afraid. I swear to the heavens that I only have a teacher-student relationship with Yu Cang. I have never colluded with him."
Hao Yun Tu said, "I will ask you again. Will you betray the Kingdom of Qi or create chaos there?"
Huyan Wuhen said, "I have fought to protect the Kingdom of Qi all my life. I, my family, are all tied to the Kingdom of Qi. I will never betray the Kingdom of Qi!"
Hao Yun Tu said with a gratified look, "Since that is the case, why resign? Yu Cang deceives the world and steals his reputation. How can he compare to the General? He can only recruit ordinary people. The position of the Great General is extremely high, and it is difficult to change the position of the Great General. We do not believe that the Great General, with his illustrious reputation, would become a traitor. We also do not believe that the Great General would betray the Great Qi Kingdom. Therefore, we do not permit the resignation of the Great General, and do not mention it again! "He reached out to grab Huyan Wuhen's hand, and shoved the memorial back into his hand.
Huyan Wuhen took a step back and bowed. He cupped his hands and said loudly, "I obey!"
Hao Yun Tu said, "I know that you have some concerns. I trust you. However, it is hard to avoid criticism from the court officials. Some things still need to be explained to everyone. Since such a thing has happened, it is impossible to pretend that nothing has happened. The court will still need the cooperation of the Great General to investigate and take precautions against the military personnel! I swear to the heavens, to the ancestors of the Hao family, and to the people of the grassland. As long as the General does not betray the Kingdom of Qi, as long as I am alive, the glory of the Huyan family will be eternal. I will never betray it! "His words were imposing.
Huyan Wuhen said loudly once again, "I obey!"
After this matter was over, Huyan Wuhen retreated. Hao Yun Tu's expression was slightly distorted. Yu Cang had deceived him badly. He even bought Yu Cang's house. It was laughable. After calming his anger, he called out, "Bu Xun!"
Chief Steward Bu Xun came forward to await his orders. Slowly, Hao Yun Tu said, "Anyone in the army who has relations with Yu Cang is to be arrested and investigated!"
Bu Xun was bewildered. "The General …"
"Fool!" Hao Yun Tu scolded. His tone was heavy. "How can Huyan Wuhen act rashly? One move will bring disaster. You cannot act rashly. You can only investigate secretly!"
At the end of the day, he was still a little afraid. Yu Cang could only recruit mediocre people. Weren't Tian Zhengyang and Ma Changan important officials in the Kingdom of Zhao? If they weren't important officials and trusted aides of the Kingdom of Zhao, how could they control millions of troops? But didn't they still become members of the Waning Moon Pavilion? The key was that Huyan Wuhen's influence in the Qi army was too great. The three major sects of the Kingdom of Qi didn't dare to act rashly. Even he didn't hesitate to marry his daughter to the Huyan family. Acting rashly would definitely cause trouble.
Once those rebellious generals who crawled out of a pile of corpses were angered, they wouldn't care whether you were an emperor or not. Even an emperor could be pulled down from his horse.
"Yes," Bu Xun replied and was about to leave.
"Wait." Hao Yun Tu added, "That Niu Youdao, contact him!"
He was now a little uneasy. Previously, when Niu Youdao threatened him, he didn't take it seriously. Now, he realized that it was his misjudgment. Niu Youdao really had a powerful army by the side of the Kingdom of Qi. If he acted rashly in the Kingdom of Qi, it would be a little troublesome.
Now that he couldn't figure out the relationship between Niu Youdao and the Waning Moon Pavilion, in order to prevent that madman from acting rashly, it was necessary to appease him.
…
Not only the Kingdom of Qi, but the countries involved in Yu Cang's matter immediately launched investigations, quarantines, and even arrests of the people involved.
Many people were wrongly accused. They only had a bit of a teacher-student relationship with Yu Cang. Those who could really be recruited by Yu Cang had already escaped before the incident. They had already gone to Yu Cang's side. Yu Cang wouldn't let these people, whom he had painstakingly cultivated, suffer this unexpected disaster. On the other hand, if Yu Cang couldn't recruit them, Yu Cang wouldn't care about the life and death of those so-called students. With the Waning Moon Pavilion's matter, those people had already lost their value.
In a short period of time, it was unknown how many people had suffered this unexpected disaster …
On the streets of the Qi Capital, at the entrance of an alley, a staggering old woman leaned against the wall with the help of a walking stick. It seemed that she couldn't walk anymore. Occasionally, she would raise her head and look at a courtyard in the alley.
She was none other than Yan Baoru, who had meticulously disguised herself.
And the person who lived in a courtyard in that alley was the rumored disciple of the Ghost Doctor, Wu Xin.
After escaping from Sky Capital Peak, she had been hiding all the way to the Qi Capital, because it was rumored that the Ghost Doctor's disciple lived in the Qi Capital.
She had been poisoned by the Bitter Divine Pill. If there was anyone other than the Waning Moon Pavilion who could cure the poison of the Bitter Divine Pill, it would probably be the mysterious Ghost Doctor.
There were so many people in the world who wanted to find the Ghost Doctor, but they couldn't. Naturally, she had no other way but to go after the Ghost Doctor's disciple.
Before, she still had some doubts about whether or not she had been poisoned by the Bitter Divine Pill. But after the Waning Moon Pavilion's incident, the relationship between Yu Cang and Niu Youdao had caused her heart to completely fall to the bottom of the valley.
Now, not only did she have to rely on the Ghost Doctor's disciple to cure the poison, she also wanted to rely on the Ghost Doctor's disciple. There was really no other way. The only thing that could make the three neutral sects or others let her live was perhaps the Ghost Doctor's face.
