Frowning, Dan Dongxing also felt that Niu Youdao had gone too far. Although Hui Qingping was the dethroned Empress, she was, after all, the Empress of the Song Country. Handing over the Empress of the Song Country to a foreign country, not only Wu Gongling couldn't afford to lose face, but also the people of the Song Country.
This was simply a humiliation to Wu Gongling. He also felt that Wu Gongling would never agree to this.
However, the reality was that Niu Youdao had clearly warned him that if he didn't agree, he would beat him!
Dan Dongxing held the letter and asked, "I wonder if Niu Youdao's words are true or false?"
Wu Gongling sneered disdainfully, "I don't care if it's true or false. Does he think that Yan Country belongs to him and he can beat me whenever he wants? If I ignore him, what can he do to me? "
Dan Dongxing said, "He does have some influence in the Yan Country. If he really wants to take it seriously, I don't know what will happen. The war between Yan and Zhao Country was provoked by him, which eventually led to the destruction of the Zhao Country. "
Wu Gongling said, "Don't scare yourself here. That was then and this is now. He has already surrendered to the Purple Golden Cave, so Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain will not let him do as he pleases. It's not that I look down on him, but it's difficult for his men to cross the Yan Country's border, let alone send troops to attack. He wants to scare people with his mouth, does he think I'm a three-year-old? "
Dan Dongxing tried to ask, "Then just ignore him?"
Wu Gongling was silent for a moment and then said, "Ignore him? Why bother with him?"
Although he said that, he actually didn't have much confidence. Previously, he did have the thought of making Hui Qingping have an accident in the Heavenly Prison. However, when he received this letter, he was a bit hesitant and didn't dare to act rashly.
There were some things that he didn't realize. Perhaps he wouldn't be afraid if the Goddess Cult came forward to threaten him. However, facing Niu Youdao, he was indeed a bit afraid.
To be exact, he was not afraid of Niu Youdao, but he was afraid of Niu Youdao's subordinate, Meng Shanming. Because he was afraid of Meng Shanming, he was afraid of Niu Youdao.
Ever since he joined the army, he had been a soldier in Meng Shan Ming's army. During the process of growing up, he had been immersed in Meng Shan Ming's prestige. He had grown up bathed in Meng Shan Ming's prestige. The scene of Meng Shan Ming, who was the commander of a magnificent army, galloping forward amidst the thunderous roars of the army had fascinated him.
If King Ning had not stopped him, Meng Shanming would have killed him.
Meng Shan Ming had seen through him. No matter how many achievements he had made, he was always suppressed by Meng Shan Ming. As long as Meng Shan Ming was around, he would never be able to turn the situation around. Meng Shan Ming was like a mountain, suffocating him. This situation had been going on for many years. One could only imagine how he felt when facing Meng Shan Ming.
As a general who had fought on the battlefield, who would submit to anyone? However, Meng Shan Ming had no choice but to submit. His almost invincible battle record was dazzling.
Meng Shan Ming was disabled, old, and retired. The Yan Dynasty was also in a precarious situation. There were not many famous generals. Wu Gongling was proud and arrogant. He had defeated all the generals of the Yan Dynasty. Who was afraid of who? However, Meng Shan Ming, that disabled old man, came back and defeated the Yan Dynasty. Then, he chased Wu Gongling away. He did not dare to fight Meng Shan Ming.
Everyone knew what happened after that. Meng Shanming rode a white horse across the river and led an army to attack the East Domain River. He used an adversarial army to defeat the victorious Song Kingdom. He massacred cities along the way and killed the Song Kingdom's officials and people.
The high-spirited Governor of the Song Kingdom, Luo Zhao, became dejected and the Song Kingdom begged for peace.
As soon as he left the Song Kingdom, Meng Shan Ming led his army to the west and fought with the Zhao Kingdom. He defeated all the elites of the Zhao Kingdom at the Corner Lake and destroyed the Zhao Kingdom.
Facing this almost invincible old man, Wu Gongling felt like he was a grain of rice competing with the moon. He thought he was good at fighting, but he did not know how to fight Meng Shan Ming.
The fear was in his bones. Not only him, he knew that the generals who had served under Meng Shan Ming were also afraid of Meng Shan Ming.
Not only them, the entire Song Kingdom's expression changed after hearing Meng Shanming's name. Meng Shanming had invaded the Song Kingdom more than once, casting a shadow over the hearts of the Song Kingdom's officials and people. They wanted to avenge their humiliation, but Meng Shanming counterattacked and invaded the Song Kingdom's territory. Meng Shanming's methods of massacring the cities along the way were even more cruel, and his brutal methods of killing hundreds of thousands of Song Kingdom's elite soldiers were even more terrifying …
Wu Gongling was afraid of Meng Shan Ming, so Niu Youdao found Meng Shan Ming.
It was not because Wu Gongling was afraid of Meng Shan Ming. Niu Youdao found Meng Shan Ming, and Niu Youdao did not know that Wu Gongling was afraid of Meng Shan Ming.
He did not only use a letter to scare Meng Shan Ming, but he also did not think that a letter could easily scare the Emperor. Just like the anonymous letter he received, he needed real pressure.
Niu Youdao sent a message to Shang Chaozong and made it clear that he wanted to pressure Meng Shan Ming to save Hui Qingping. He asked Shang Chaozong to discuss with Meng Shan Ming to see if they could use military tactics to pressure the Song Kingdom. Of course, they did not need to fight. They just needed to pressure the Song Kingdom to release Hui Qingping.
It was better to leave professional matters to professionals. He did not know how to fight an army, and he would be laughed at if he randomly gave out orders.
Shang Chaozong and Meng Shan Ming immediately discussed the matter. After the discussion, even Meng Shan Ming was in a difficult position.
The problem was obvious. After all, the territory that the Southern State faction controlled was limited. With the current situation in the Yan Kingdom, it was almost impossible for the Southern State faction to cross the territories of other factions and arrive at the border of the Song Kingdom. Unless they fought their way through, it would be possible.
In order to save Hui Qingping, countless people had died in the Yan Kingdom. It was not worth it. It was not worth it.
Of course, Meng Shan Ming had some suggestions. If Niu Youdao could convince Purple Golden Cave to cooperate, it was not impossible to threaten the Song Kingdom.
The reason was simple. The Yan Kingdom's Bozhou and the Song Kingdom shared a common border, and Bozhou was the territory of Purple Golden Cave. It was under the control of Purple Golden Cave's elder, Qiao Tianguang.
If they did not fight, Meng Shan Ming would need Bozhou as a point of leverage.
In this way, Niu Youdao was in a difficult position. It was very unlikely that Purple Golden Cave would agree to cooperate with him.
A group of Purple Golden Cave's higher-ups already had a problem with him. Moreover, he had killed someone's people in the Northern Provinces. The situation could be imagined. If he told them, not only would they not help, they might even hold him back.
Guan Fangyi, who had witnessed the process, did not know what to say about Niu Youdao. Was it worth it to go through so much trouble for Hui Qingping? What good could it be?
For this reason, Guan Fangyi found Yuan Gang and asked him to persuade Niu Youdao.
However, Yuan Gang's attitude made Guan Fangyi very angry. Yuan Gang said that he agreed with what Daoye did.
Just when Niu Youdao was thinking about how to solve this problem, Wen Mo'er came and said that the Sect Master wanted him to go to the Conference Hall.
"I'm not going!" Niu Youdao, who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, said, "Just say that I am cultivating in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb me. I have sealed my six senses. They cannot contact me and do not dare to disturb me. Otherwise, they will go mad."
He thought that going to the Conference Hall was just an excuse. Before this, two Elders came to see him, but he refused to meet them with the same reason.
If one didn't work, then the other wouldn't work either. He just wanted to force the old dog Yan Li to come to him and ignore everyone else.
This Elder was really too willful. Wen Mo'er did not know whether to laugh or cry. He explained, "Daoye, the Sect Master said that it is a matter of the Saint Territory. He said that it involves you. He wants you to go."
"Saint Territory? It involves me? "Niu Youdao immediately became alert." What does the matter of the Saint Territory have to do with me? "
Guan Fangyi, who was at the side, was also very surprised. She wondered why the matter of the Saint Territory involved Daoye. The name list submitted by the Purple Golden Cave had already been confirmed. It had nothing to do with them.
Wen Mo'er shook his head and said, "I am also not sure. I only passed on the Sect Master's words. The Sect Master wants you to go. All the Elders are waiting for you."
"Saint realm …" Niu Youdao muttered and pondered for a moment. This kind of matter was not up to him to be willful. He wanted to continue acting willfully and force the Sect Master Gong to come personally and say that it would be the same. However, after thinking for a while, he felt that there would be plenty of opportunities to be willful. Hence, he waved his hand and said indifferently, "Then, let's go and take a look."
Of course, he still maintained his composure and walked in unhurriedly.
He slowly arrived at the Conference Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a group of people who were qualified to be here. They all looked at him with complicated expressions. They had never looked at him before.
This kind of expression made Niu Youdao's hair stand on end. His mind was thinking about all kinds of possible situations and how to deal with it.
"Sect Master, I am at a critical point in my closed-door cultivation. Why do you have to see me? You almost caused me to go mad." Niu Youdao looked exhausted.
What the hell are you doing in closed-door cultivation! Gong Lince cursed in his heart. It was not like Wen Mo'er did not tell him about the situation.
However, he did not expose him. He only smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother Niu, it is not easy to see you!"
Niu Youdao, "Sect Master, you are flattering me. Since you asked, would I dare not to come? Didn't I just call out to him? " He looked left and right and asked, "What is it? I have no right to participate in the decision. Why did you call me here?"
Gong Lince stared at him. Slowly, he said, "There is a change in the name list of the Purple Golden Cave's disciples who are going to the Saint Territory."
Niu Youdao's heart instantly jumped to his throat as he listened.
Gong Lince continued, "The Saint Territory crossed out a disciple's name and added your name!"
Niu Youdao's face darkened. He looked left and right and said, "Everyone, you must be joking with me, right?"
Gong Lince, "I am not joking. This is real. We do not want to see this happen either. However, the message from the Misty Pavilion is indeed like this. Junior Brother, we asked you to come because we hope that you can make use of the remaining time to prepare. "
"What Saint Territory is added? To the Saint Territory, I, Niu Youdao, am nothing. Am I, Niu Youdao, worthy of being treated so well by the Saint Territory? Don't give me that! " Niu Youdao vehemently objected. He looked from one to the other, and his gaze finally fell on Yan Li. "I think someone has something against me and wants to harm me on purpose. He changed the name list behind my back!"
Are you suspecting me now? Yan Li quickly waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with me … No, this really has nothing to do with us. It is really the Saint Territory who did it."
"I don't care who did it. Since they don't want me to have an easy time, then don't think of having an easy time. I am not going. If I am to be unlucky, then we will all be unlucky together!" Niu Youdao threw down his words and ran out of the hall in a flash.
"Junior Brother!"
"Junior Brother Niu!"
"Elder Niu!"
The group of people shouted but failed to stop him. When they ran out of the hall, he was nowhere to be seen.
