Niu Youdao made it clear in an arrogant and despotic manner.
At this point, everyone could only pretend that they didn't understand.
Those who had done something guilty were afraid of ghosts knocking on their door. In fact, everyone had suspected this before, and now it was confirmed.
Yan Li was a little speechless. He thought to himself, 'They're looking for trouble with you, I'm not looking for trouble with you. You should at least show some mercy. Why did you kill my people?'
But then he thought, 'This guy probably doesn't know who's his people and who's not.'
Guan Fangyi muttered to herself. She realized that Daoye's attitude towards the people from Purple Golden Cave was not very normal. He would throw a tantrum at the slightest provocation.
After the group left, Niu Youdao went back inside as if nothing had happened.
After pacing around the courtyard for a while, Wen Mo 'er quietly came to his side and reminded him out of goodwill, "Daoye, it's not good for you to do that."
She had also changed the way she addressed Niu Youdao. It felt weird to call him 'Elder'.
Niu Youdao responded with an 'oh' and turned back to ask, "What's your opinion?"
Wen Mo 'er waved her hand, "I don't have any opinion. It's just that when I went to the Sect Leader's place, I accidentally overheard the Sect Leader discussing the Sage State."
"Sage State?" Niu Youdao stopped smiling and turned to face her, "What about the Sage State?"
Wen Mo 'er said, "I think the Misty Pavilion sent out a message. They requested for each sect to send three elite disciples to the Sage State. They said that the Sage State is a chance for everyone to gain experience. Right now, each sect should be drawing up the list of disciples to go to the Sage State. It's not appropriate for you to argue with everyone now. "
Niu Youdao immediately understood what she meant. If he angered those guys, he might be on the recommendation list.
He hadn't heard anything about this at all. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Go and ask Elder Yan to come over."
"Yes!" Wen Mo 'er replied and reminded him hesitantly, "Daoye, don't tell anyone that I said this."
Niu Youdao nodded. "Don't worry, I won't betray you."
After Wen Mo 'er left, Niu Youdao called out to Guan Fangyi: "Inform Lao Xiong to prepare a table of dishes."
She waited here for a while, but Yan Li did not come. Only when Wen Mo 'er returned did she know that Yan Li and the others had gone to the conference hall to discuss matters. Wen Mo' er did not want to disturb them, so she could only wait for Yan Li to come out before meeting him.
After a while, Yan Li arrived as well. However, he arrived just in time as Yuan Fang's dishes were already prepared.
"Why are you bossing me around?" Yan Li saw that he was not in a good mood.
"When I found out that I had accidentally injured Elder Yan's men, I felt ashamed and specially prepared a table of food and wine to apologize to Elder Yan."
"You think you can get rid of me with a table full of dishes?"
"Don't be so shameless. You're an Elder, and I'm also an Elder. Our positions in the sect are the same, so don't give me that look. My dishes here are the best in the world. Even the Sect Master has not tasted them before. You've lucked out today. "
Niu Youdao dragged Yan Li inside as he spoke, and then pressed him down on his seat.
Yan Li did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, when he saw the variety of dishes on the table and smelled the aroma, he was stunned.
"Try it." Niu Youdao forced a pair of chopsticks into his hands.
As a guest, he had to comply with the host's wishes. The dishes were indeed fresh, and Yan Li, who was slightly moved, took a bite. His eyes lit up, and he moved his chopsticks, tasting all the dishes. He found that the taste was indeed not bad.
"I didn't lie to you, did I? I'm sincerely apologizing." Niu Youdao laughed as he poured wine for him.
After the two of them toasted and drank, Niu Youdao asked: "I heard that the sect is selecting candidates to enter the Saint State?"
Yan Li did not think much about it. The key was that he did not know that Niu Youdao only knew about it. He grunted, but his chopsticks and mouth did not stop.
Niu Youdao asked again: "Has the person been selected?"
Yan Li: "Not yet. There is still some time, it is hard to decide."
Niu Youdao continued to pour wine for him, and asked curiously: "There are so many people in the Purple Golden Cave. Isn't it easy to choose three?"
Speaking of this, Yan Li put down his chopsticks and sighed: "The Misty Pavilion wants to send out outstanding disciples. It is not like you don't know that these outstanding disciples are basically under the Elders who control the resources. Training? There are some things that everyone is well aware of. No one knows what will happen, so they don't want their own disciples to go. But the other side wants the elite disciples of the various sects to go. Until the end, they can't just push the responsibility around. "
Niu Youdao grunted: "Then why are you hiding this from me?"
"Hiding from you? Why would I hide it from you? " Yan Li was stunned for a moment, then understood. He waved his hand: "I am not hiding it from you. I am afraid that people will be uncertain, so I have not made it public yet."
Niu Youdao continued to ask: "You are not letting me know, are you trying to push me onto the list?"
Yan Li was stunned again. He looked at the table full of delicacies and laughed involuntarily. He understood and pointed at him. "You, you, my boy, you're thinking too much. In any case, you're an Elder of Purple Golden Cave. Even if someone wants to push you over, there's no reason to push an Elder of a sect so easily. No one would want to do that. Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can just watch the fun from the side. "
"Hey, you people are so bad. I am just worried." Niu Youdao let out a sigh of relief, and continued to treat him to wine.
Yan Li paused, and looked at him: "We are bad? Whether we are bad or not, I say, you are not giving me any face at all. You and I are friends. How can you kill my people just because you say so? "
Niu Youdao: "In the beginning, I did not know who your people were. It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Yan Li waved his hand: "I do not want to talk about the past. I only want a promise from you, my brother. I do not care about the others, but you cannot touch my people anymore."
Niu Youdao pressed his hand: "What your people and my people? They are just a few corrupt officials. How can they be considered your people? Is it worth it for you to be so serious? I will say this, you can investigate as much as you want. As long as you find out who is a corrupt official in my territory, as long as you have evidence, you can kill them all you want. I will not complain. "
Yan Li saw that he was not willing to let go, and he was always worried about him. He suddenly became vigilant: "What do you mean? Do you still want to continue? Is this how you apologize? "
Niu Youdao: "I have seen Elder Yan's ambition. Is it worth it for a little money?"
Seeing that he was not willing to let go, Yan Li stared at him: "Niu Youdao, don't go overboard!"
Niu Youdao: "That is not what I mean. Who knows who are your people and who are not? Give me a name list later, and everything can be discussed, okay?"
Yan Li picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, as if this was more like it.
Niu Youdao said: "But I will say this first. You cannot put me on the name list to go to the Sage State. If something goes wrong, you must let me know in advance. If you do anything behind my back, don't blame me for getting angry."
"Sigh, you rascal. I told you that this has nothing to do with you. Why don't you believe me? You are too suspicious. Alright, I got it. "Yan Li shook his head.
Niu Youdao immediately gave a toast.
It was not that he was suspicious, but he had to be careful since he had come this far. It was all too common for him to fail miserably. Logically speaking, he did not need to go to the Mystery Realm of Heaven Capital. Who knew that he would still be sent there. Moreover, he had offended many people in the Purple Golden Cave. Who knew what would happen in the end? How could he act like nothing happened?
Some things had to be guarded against.
Not only did he have to guard against it, but he also had to take it seriously.
After sending Yan Li off happily, Niu Youdao immediately summoned Guan Fangyi and Yuan Gang, and asked them to immediately contact Yu Cang of the Waning Moon Pavilion, Chao Jing, the Elder of the Wan Shou Clan, and other relevant parties of the Four Seas. They must strive to send their own reliable people to participate in the trip to the Saint Land.
Prepare for a rainy day, just in case!
…
The State of Korea began to withdraw its troops from the Kingdom of Song.
Originally, they had not been forced to withdraw their troops. However, Jin Jue had always sought stability and was highly alert to possible dangers. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take all the responsibility and even lost his position as the commander-in-chief. He was directly demoted to a commoner and encouraged the State of Korea to withdraw its troops.
After hearing the news, Meng Shanming, who had failed in his plan, looked up to the sky and sighed. He felt that it was a pity. If the State of Korea and the Song were really exhausted, Yan might be able to annex the State of Korea and the Song. It would solve the problem once and for all. The State of Qin was still not strong.
As for Jin Jue being demoted to a commoner, in Meng Shanming's eyes, it was nonsense. As long as Jin Jue was still favored by the Emperor, he could come back at any time if something happened. A person of Jin Jue's status could never be demoted to a true commoner. He would still be protected by a lot of people.
On the way back, Jin Jue was also very depressed. He wanted to take advantage of the predicament that the State of Song was facing and withdraw his troops. He hoped that the State of Korea could take control of the State of Song that he had captured earlier.
During the negotiations, when the three factions of the State of Song heard that the State of Korea was willing to withdraw their troops, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.
Who knew that Wu Gongling would not agree no matter what? He insisted that the State of Korea return all of the State of Song's territory. For this, he did not hesitate to incite his subordinates to shout that they would rather die in battle than give up an inch of land.
The State of Song no longer had the ability to continue fighting. If they continued fighting for another year, the State of Song would be in such a state. It would be difficult for the army to resupply. If they continued fighting, the entire State of Song would starve to death. How could they continue fighting?
Although the three factions of the State of Song were furious, they could not do anything to Wu Gongling. Under such circumstances, they could not possibly wipe out Wu Gongling's subordinates. If they really did that, the State of Korea would be overjoyed. Not to mention withdrawing their troops, they would probably take advantage of the situation to occupy the State of Song.
In the end, Wu Gongling won.
The Han Kingdom had already decided on their strategy. Withdrawing their troops was inevitable. Wu Gongling was determined to fight to the death with them at all costs. The Han Kingdom could not continue to fight the Song Nation for the sake of the Song Nation's few prefectures.
The two sides finally came to an agreement. The State of Song stopped fighting, and the State of Korea retreated to the State of Korea.
Naturally, the three factions of the State of Song were overjoyed at this result. It turned out that Wu Gongling was right. The State of Korea's strong stance before the negotiations was all a bluff.
During this process, the three factions of the State of Song were not muddle-headed when facing the strong stance of the State of Korea. It was just that their focus was different from Wu Gongling's.
The State of Korea's army retreated, and the two countries stopped fighting. They finally did not have to fight anymore. Furthermore, the State of Song had recovered all of the State of Song's territory. The citizens of the State of Song cried tears of joy. Wherever the good news went, people would shout, "Long live Your Majesty!" Wu Gongling's reputation in the State of Song soared.
