Wasn't he mocking him by saying he didn't mind? Huang Lie cursed in his mind, but on the surface, he apologized, "In the end, we were too short-sighted. Elder Niu's ambition is not here, why would you care about the gains and losses of Nan Zhou? I hope Elder Niu can forgive us for our mistakes in the past. "
"It is all in the past." Niu Youdao waved his hand, "It is not right to let Great Zen Mountain squeeze in Nan Zhou. What do you think about Guang Zhou which used to be Zhao's territory?" He pointed at the location of Guang Zhou on the map.
"Guang Zhou?" Huang Lie was shocked and didn't know what he meant, "I am ignorant, Elder Niu, please explain."
Niu Youdao, "Great Zen Mountain is squeezed in Nan Zhou and restrained, it must be uncomfortable. How about moving Great Zen Mountain to Guang Zhou?"
Nan Zhou had Niu Youdao's support, and Great Zen Mountain was already unhappy. Now that Niu Youdao had become an elder of Purple Golden Cave, they would be pressured to the point they couldn't breathe. If they could go somewhere else, of course they would be happy. However, Huang Lie did not believe that Niu Youdao, who had just arrived at Purple Gold Cave, could make such a big decision and decide the division of a prefecture. He could not help but ask, "Is this the intention of Purple Gold Cave?"
Niu Youdao, "Whose intention is not important. As long as Great Zen Mountain is willing, there is no problem."
"This …" Huang Lie still didn't dare to believe it, "Elder Niu, you can't joke about this."
Niu Youdao retracted his hand and placed both hands on the hilt of his sword. "The cultivators of the various countries suffered great losses in this war. The Yan Kingdom has been on expeditions to the east and west. Up till now, the cultivators have suffered even greater losses. Suddenly gaining so much territory, it is difficult to find sufficient strength to guard it. More importantly, Purple Golden Cave doesn't want me to have too much power. If there is a chance to divide my power, they won't be stingy. As long as Great Zen Mountain asks, there shouldn't be a problem. "
Saying this in front of people outside of Purple Golden Cave, he really wasn't conservative at all.
Huang Lie was a little shocked when he heard this. He was also a little worried that this guy was purposely testing him, so he held back his words. "Elder Niu, what do you want Great Zen Mountain to do? Great Zen Mountain is willing to listen to your orders."
Niu Youdao shifted his gaze away from the map and turned to look at him. "Go to Zijin Cave and tell them that you conspired to overthrow me back then and made me unhappy. Tell them that I'm here to settle old scores with you. Using this as an excuse, he hoped to change locations, and the location was Guang Province! The three major sects divided the benefits of this large piece of territory, and the Purple Golden Cave was connected to this area. Those who have conflicts with me, the Purple Golden Cave should be willing to put them together. "
Huang Lie still did not dare to easily give in, "Elder Niu, is this appropriate?"
Niu Youdao did not want to beat around the bush. He raised his sword and pointed it at Nanzhou. "Nanzhou, I have the final say!"
The scabbard pointed at Gold Province. "Gold Province is also under my control. Does Sect Leader Huang have any objections to this? "
Huang Lie nodded and squeezed out a smile. "Everyone knows about these two provinces. One word from Elder Niu and the two provinces will go through fire and water!"
Niu Youdao pointed his scabbard at Guang Province. "The corner of the two provinces, Guang Province! After Great Zen Mountain goes, I hope Sect Leader Huang will consider which side to stand on. I can't guarantee anything else, but there's one thing I can guarantee. It's not a problem to have the Southern State and the Gold State create some friction with the Light State and create some excuses to attack the Light State. I'm sure Sect Master Huang knows whether or not the Light State can stop the Southern State and the Gold State. In other words, I have the final say on whether or not Great Zen Mountain can stand firm in Guang Province. As long as I support Great Zen Mountain, no one from the three major Yan sects can kick Great Zen Mountain out of Guang Province. Even if others go, they won't be able to sit still. "
These words were very domineering. The smile on Huang Lie's face froze. He understood, he finally understood the intentions of the person in front of him. This guy had started to fight for power within Purple Golden Cave. He was already planning. He wanted Great Zen Mountain to help this guy take over territory.
Yet under threats and rewards, Great Zen Mountain seemed to have no other choice. There was a better way out, so they couldn't just stay in Nanzhou.
Niu Youdao smiled. "Sect Leader Huang, don't worry. I am not an unreasonable person. I won't make things difficult for Sect Leader Huang. I also don't want to cause trouble for myself. Usually, I can pretend that I don't interact with you. However, after Great Zen Mountain goes to Guang Province, if I need help, I hope Great Zen Mountain can help me. "
Huang Lie forced himself to nod and smile. "I understand Elder Niu's meaning. Elder Niu, don't worry, Great Zen Mountain knows what to do."
"Good!" Niu Youdao nodded in satisfaction.
At the side, Guan Fangyi smiled like a flower. Her eyes were bright.
When he left, Huang Lie couldn't help but look back. Seeing Niu Youdao waving his hand, he squeezed out a smile. He sighed inside. Thinking back to the past!
He thought back to when he first met this person at the Ice and Snow Pavilion. At that time, he was so imposing facing this person. In the blink of an eye, this person had already jumped to the top of Great Zen Mountain. He already had to bow down and carefully flatter him!
He suddenly thought of Shao Pingbo's words in the past. He found that Shao Pingbo didn't have the foresight. Why didn't he listen to Shao Pingbo and get rid of this guy?
Turning back, he followed Niu Youdao's words and went to find Sect Leader Gong Lince of Purple Golden Cave.
Guan Fangyi moved next to Niu Youdao who was standing with his sword. "Daoye, when are we going back to Thatched Cottage Villa?"
Niu Youdao sighed. "Can we still go back? If we go back now, I'm afraid a group of people would want to chop me. Not to mention Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain, I don't know where the experts of the three major sects of Zhao Country are hiding. We can't go back in a short time. Let's wait for this storm to pass and see how things go. "
Guan Fangyi said, "Then should we transfer our people here? It's troublesome to transfer the news from all sides. It's inconvenient to not have people around. I just don't know if Purple Golden Cave can allow our people to come in."
Niu Youdao said, "Wait a minute. Now is not the time to speak. If I speak now, they will be worried that they can't find an opportunity to embarrass me. They will definitely refuse." He raised his chin and signaled Huang Lie's direction. "Soon, when Huang Lie speaks and they find me, the time will come."
Guan Fangyi was puzzled …
The next day, Wen Mo 'er came to pass the message that Gong Lince really wanted to summon him for a discussion.
Niu Youdao tidied up a bit and left.
In the Conference Hall, the group of elders who should have left had all left. Yue Yuan rushed back to the Gong Province to oversee the situation, Qiao Tianguang rushed back to the Bo Province to oversee the situation, and Shen Baochun rushed back to the Yan Capital Imperial Palace to oversee the situation. Only Yan Li, Yuan An, Fu Junrang, Yin Yide, and Mo Lingxue were left.
After Niu Youdao finished his courteous speech, Gong Lince waved his hand. Everyone, including Niu Youdao, gathered in front of a map hanging in the hall.
Gong Lince pointed at the map and explained, "Junior Brother Niu, the three major sects want to directly control the eleven provinces. The result of the distribution of the three major sects is that, because of the trouble caused by the Cang Province rebellion, my Purple Golden Cave is in the wrong, so the Cang Province side made a concession. Therefore, the newly occupied territories here, including the Golden Province, belong to our Purple Golden Cave. Because of the large-scale expansion of the territory, Yan Mountain doesn't have enough manpower, so I specifically called you over to discuss it. "
Niu Youdao chuckled and said, "Didn't you not let me participate in the decision-making?"
Gong Lince said bluntly, "This is related to your Southern Province, so I want to hear your opinion. When the time comes, don't jump around and cause trouble again."
Niu Youdao held his sword with one hand and touched his nose with the other. "Sect Master, am I as unreasonable as you say? Oh right, the people of Southern Province have made great contributions. Which of the newly occupied provinces should we give to them as a reward for expansion? "
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at each other with different expressions.
Yuan An said, "After our discussion, it's better for the people of Southern Province to stay where they are."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean? Shouldn't they be rewarded for their contributions? "He was an Elder after all, so his words had some weight.
Yuan An said, "Rewards don't necessarily have to be rewarded with territory."
Niu Youdao's face darkened. Mo Lingxue said, "Junior Martial Brother Niu, this decision was made after careful consideration. The people of Southern Province are the elites of our Purple Golden Cave, and they are also the elites of Yan Mountain. We need them to stay in the central position. When the time comes, no matter which side changes, the people of Southern Province can attack in time. If their forces are scattered, it will be inconvenient to regroup. We will inform the imperial court and reduce the taxes of Southern Province for a year, and the soldiers will be rewarded according to their contributions. "
Niu Youdao said, "Only a year of taxes?"
Mo Lingxue said, "Of course, we will try our best to fight for a few more years."
Gong Lince sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother, the overall situation is more important!"
Niu Youdao said in a strange tone, "Since you've already discussed it, why did you still call me here?"
Yin Yide said, "Junior Martial Brother, it's like this. Apart from this, there's another matter. We don't have enough manpower right now. You know, after a battle, many cultivators have been used up. Considering that Southern Province is strong and no one dares to offend us, we want to transfer the people of Great Zen Mountain to the nearby Guang Province. As for the manpower vacancies in other provinces, we will think of other ways. What do you think? "
Niu Youdao said, "Can I object?"
Fu Junrang sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother, you can't just think about yourself at a time like this. The overall situation is more important!"
Niu Youdao laughed coldly and said, "The overall situation is more important. This is quite a heavy hat to wear. No matter how I look at it, it looks like you are trying to make Southern Province a figurehead. "
Gong Lince said, "No, we are also thinking for you. Great Zen Mountain is not on good terms with you, so it's good to transfer them away. We can discuss the replenishment of manpower later. For now, let's focus on the overall situation and quickly transfer people to control the situation. At this time, the newly occupied territory cannot be messed up, don't you think so? I think Martial Uncle Zhong is a sensible person and won't object to this arrangement! "
Mo Lingxue said, "That's right. What's more, the Shang Dynasty has gathered a large number of experts from our Purple Golden Cave to hold the fort. We've even sent two Supreme Elders. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Under everyone's gaze, Niu Youdao kept a straight face and didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "My Thatched Cottage Villa wants to transfer people over."
Everyone frowned and Gong Lince said hesitantly, "This isn't appropriate, right? This is Purple Golden Cave. What are you doing by bringing so many people from the outside over? It's also against the rules. What if there are spies? "
