Niu Youdao didn't expect Spirit Sword Mountain to be polite to him. It was already good that they didn't directly make a move on him, so he just pretended that he didn't hear it. He then asked the others with a smile, "Where is His Majesty?"
Purple Golden Cave Elder Shen Baochun replied, "In the morning. Why, are you looking for the Emperor? "
Niu Youdao said, "Being in Yan City, I haven't had the chance to see him. Now that I'm in the capital, I want to see him."
Shen Baochun warned, "Don't mess around, this is not the place for you to mess around."
Niu Youdao said, "Elder Shen worries too much, I just want to see him. With all of you here, I dare not mess around."
He looked to the side and saw Gamiao Shui with several eunuchs, who stopped not far away and stared at him.
"I see an acquaintance, I'm going to say hello." Niu Youdao pointed at Gamiao Shui and then walked over, followed by Guan and Wu.
The people from the three major sects didn't say much, including Luo Mingjian. Because they all knew that their sects were looking for this person everywhere. They also knew why they were looking for him, because it was related to the great interests of the three major sects. Once they found him, they would immediately report it.
Now that it has been confirmed that it was indeed Niu Youdao, the three major sects quickly ordered their disciples to send the message back to their respective sects.
Before getting a definite reply from their sects, they would not let Niu Youdao run away.
After exchanging a few polite words with Ge Miaoshui, Niu Youdao chatted with him as they walked, talking about some meaningless things.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived outside the main palace hall. Niu Youdao was not polite. He lifted his foot to go up the jade stairs. Looking at him, it seemed like he wanted to break into the court.
Gamiao Shui's face slightly changed. He quickly stepped forward and reached out his hand to stop him. "Brother Niu, you can't break into this place!"
The guards on both sides of the jade stairs have all raised their swords, spears, and halberds, and were on high alert.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the elders of the three major sects also came over and blocked the stairs. They were the people who maintained the order in the palace, how could they allow people to mess around?
Xiao Yao Elder said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Niu Youdao said, "I want to go in and have a look, can't I?"
Xi Yao didn't know what was strange about him, so he warned, "Don't disturb me.
Niu Youdao said, "Look? The Yan Kingdom has been turned into this state by them. What's there to discuss about a bunch of bastards? "
The elder of the Purple Golden Cave, Shen Baochun, said in a deep voice, "Whether it's a scoundrel or a good debt, every place has its own rules. We can't easily disturb them, otherwise there will be trouble. You better not mess around. If you really want to go in and have a look, I can let you in after the court is over, but not now! "
Niu Youdao understood the rules. This was the center of the order in the Yan Kingdom.
The three great sects protecting the rules here were protecting their own interests in the Yan Kingdom. Just like the Misty Pavilion, protecting the rules of the world was also for the sake of the stable transfer of interests. Once the rules of interests were broken, the nine Supreme Martial Artists would jump out to kill and loot.
While they were talking. "Dang!" The sound of gold and jade striking came from the court. The people under the jade stairs looked up. Those who knew knew that the morning court had ended.
After a while, a few people came out of the court, followed by a large group of officials.
The three people in the lead were Tong Mo, Shang Yongzhong, and Gao Jiancheng.
The tense situation under the jade stairs attracted the attention of the dispersing court officials.
Gao Jiancheng knew Niu Youdao. After recognizing Niu Youdao, he was surprised. Why was this person here?
He now understood why the Emperor was acting strange during the morning court. It was because of this person.
Niu Youdao's eyes paused on his face, then fixed on the old man beside Gao Jiancheng and Shang Yongzhong.
Tong Mo did not know Niu Youdao. After setting up the stairs, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Shang Yongzhong shook his head. Gao Jiancheng knew Niu Youdao, but he would not say. He also shook his head.
When the court officials came down from the jade stairs, Niu Youdao asked coldly, "Which one is Tong Mo?"
He did not address him as Great Minister of Public Works or Prime Minister, but called him by his name.
The court officials were surprised. Who was this person? He looked young, but his tone was not small.
Tong Mo? Gao Jiancheng was secretly surprised. Was he here for Tong Mo?
Tong Mo was startled. He first swept his gaze over the three elders of the three major sects, then walked over at a steady pace. His bearing and dignity did not lose to anyone present. Slowly, he stared at Niu Youdao and said, "It is this old man. May I know who you are?"
The court officials on and below the stairs could not help but stop in their tracks. They all wanted to see what was going on.
Niu Youdao calmly said a name. "Niu Youdao!"
Many people were shocked when this name was announced. This was the Niu Youdao behind Prince Yong?
Everyone had heard of his name for a long time. Today, they finally got to know each other and carefully sized him up.
The grudges between Nanzhou and the court were no secret to these court officials.
Tong Mo was shocked. His eyes flickered for a moment, but his expression did not change. He nodded and said, "So it is Venerable One. This old man has heard of your name for a long time. May I know what business you have with me?"
Although his nerves were highly tensed, he was not afraid of Niu Youdao in front of the three major sects.
Niu Youdao said, "I have a problem. I'm here to ask Tong Xiang!"
On the stairs, outside the main hall, Shang Jianxiong did not leave from the rear hall. After learning of the situation outside, he came out from the main door and looked down at the people below. Chief Steward Tian Yu accompanied him.
No one knew what was being said below, but Shang Jianxiong's expression was not very good. In the past, he had searched everywhere for this fellow but could not find him. Now, this fellow had actually come knocking on his door. What was he trying to do?
As someone who understood Yan's situation, he could roughly guess that Niu Youdao dared to come here for no good reason. The current situation was when the court's influence on the three major sects was at its weakest.
Tong Mo smiled. "May I know what you want to ask this old man?"
Niu Youdao stood with his sword. "Yan Baoru, do you know Tong Xiang?"
Yan Baoru? Why was he mentioning Yan Baoru at this time? The people of the secular world might not know, but the cultivators had more or less heard of it. It was said that Yan Baoru seemed to have some problems with Niu Youdao in the mystic realm. What was the meaning of asking Tong Mo?
The group of cultivators looked at Tong Mo in confusion.
Tong Mo thought for a moment. "This name sounds familiar." He turned around and looked around.
Immediately, an official came forward and reported, "Lord Prime Minister, it's the second ranked expert on the Pill Rankings."
"Oh!" Tong Mo nodded as if he had a sudden realization. "So it's that heroine. I've heard of her name for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to meet her. I don't know her."
"Is that so?" Niu Youdao smiled faintly. "This Yan Baoru found trouble with me in the mystic realm and was captured by me. After a harsh interrogation, she said that she had a close relationship with Tong Xiang. She said that Tong Xiang had been supporting her all these years. She said that she came to the mystic realm to kill me under Tong Xiang's orders. What does Tong Xiang think of this? "
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. There was actually such a secret.
Guan Fangyi and Wu Zhaoxing looked at each other.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone knew that it was entirely possible for Tong Mo to send people to kill Niu Youdao. With Tong Mo's influence, it was not surprising that he had the ability to do so.
Was he here to settle the score with Tong Mo? The hearts of the people from the three major sects stirred. The elders of the three major sects who were close to the front suddenly stared at Niu Youdao's hand that was holding the sword. They saw his ten fingers on the hilt of the sword moving up and down rhythmically, giving off a feeling of restlessness.
The people from the three major sects were instantly on high alert. They would not allow Niu Youdao to do anything to an important official of the country here.
Tong Mo smiled calmly. "Venerable Master must be joking. This old man may have some status in the Yan Kingdom, but it is not enough to influence the list of people to enter the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm. Whether that Yan Baoru enters the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm or not has nothing to do with this old man. Letting her enter the mystic realm to kill Venerable Master is already flattering me. What Venerable Master said, this old man does not know what is going on. If this is true, then that Yan Baoru must be framing this old man. This old man manages the Yan Kingdom for His Majesty, there will always be losses and gains. Perhaps this old man did not know when he offended her or someone else. "
Niu Youdao replied with an 'oh' and asked back, "Is that so?"
Tong Mo nodded. "Every word is true."
Niu Youdao said, "If Tong Xiang admits to it now, it is his fault alone. If he does not admit to it and I find out the truth, I will not let anyone in the Tong Residence go. I will cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. I will do what I say and never go back on my words!"
The officials in the imperial court all felt their hearts palpitate as they listened.
But many people from the three major sects frowned. This guy actually ran into the palace and threatened an important official at the entrance of the court, wasn't he a little too presumptuous?
"Those who are innocent will know, those who are guilty will know." Tong Mo did not seem to mind and asked back, "Venerable Master, do you have any other instructions?"
Niu Youdao said, "Looks like you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Since I am here, this matter must come to an end. I will not allow thieves and thieves to cause trouble behind my back. This matter cannot be left unresolved. I hope that Tong Xiang will think twice before acting. Please go ahead! "He raised his hand and gestured for Tong Mo to leave.
Tong Mo nodded his head slightly. His aura did not change and he walked away unhurriedly.
The officials also gradually dispersed. On the surface, nothing seemed to happen, but in reality, Niu Youdao's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. They did not know how deep his words were. Niu Youdao came personally. Could he really do as he said?
If he was not confident, why would he dare to come?
Those officials who were subordinate to Tong Mo felt as though they had experienced a raging storm. Their hearts were filled with fear. The morning sun shone down on them, causing them to shiver.
"That high and mighty person is His Majesty the Emperor?" Niu Youdao looked at the people at the top of the stairs. He was about to go up the stairs when he was stopped by the people from the three major sects.
Spirit Sword Mountain Elder Luo Mingjian said in a sinking voice, "This is not the place for you to be presumptuous!"
They have already seen him frighten the Great Minister of Public Works, how could they let him go and frighten the Emperor as well? How could they, the cultivators who were guarding this place, put their faces?
Niu Youdao said, "Please inform him that I want to have a chat with His Majesty the Emperor." His words were directed at Gamiao Shui.
Gamiao Shui immediately rushed to Shang Jianxiong's side to report. Shang Jianxiong coldly humphed, lifted his sleeve, pointed at the stairs below, and sternly said, "Those who dare to cross the line will be killed without mercy!" With that, he flicked his sleeve and walked away, not giving Niu Youdao any face.
Along with his order, a group of eunuchs with magical power rushed out from the left and right, blocking their path.
"Elder Shen, didn't you say that after the court is over, I can go into the court to have a look?" Niu Youdao asked the Purple Golden Cave Elder.
