How dare he openly defy the sect's decision! Chun Xinliang couldn't hold his anger any longer and said angrily, "What could be more important than this?"
Niu Youdao casually said, "I've already ordered the troops from Southern Province to attack Song."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even Zhong Guzi's cheeks, who seemed to be dead, twitched.
This joke was a little too much! Gong Lince said anxiously, "Junior Brother Niu, are you joking? Why would we attack Song for no reason? "
Can't you say something else? Niu Youdao glanced at him and said, "I'm not joking. Sect Master, you can check with Shang Chaozong and the others. I've already given them the order and they're probably making preparations. You'll know I'm not joking after a simple check. "
Gong Lince still didn't believe it. "Why didn't I hear anything about such a big thing? As an elder of the Purple Golden Cave, why didn't you report it? "
Niu Youdao said, "How could you not hear anything? Didn't you hear about the Empress of Song being deposed?"
Gong Lince was furious. "What does the Empress of Song being deposed have to do with you? It's not your place to worry about it. I …" Before he could finish, he seemed to have remembered something.
Sure enough, Niu Youdao added to his doubts. "The Empress of Song, Hui Qingping, is my sworn sister. I received news that Wu Gongling wanted to kill her but didn't want to bear the name of killing his brother and killing his wife. That's why he was temporarily deposed and detained. Once the storm dies down, Hui Qingping will definitely meet with an accident in prison. I can't just watch her die! "
Mo Lingxue said with a cold expression, "Don't spout nonsense here. Everyone knows what's going on with the two of you swearing brotherhood. There is no camaraderie at all. Who would believe that you would attack the Song Dynasty for her?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. If you don't believe me … fine, I'll say it here. As long as I can save Hui Qingping, I'll go to the Sage Realm!"
At this point, he finally revealed his true purpose.
In fact, when he heard that his name was on the list in the conference hall, he knew he couldn't escape this calamity.
There was still a chance of survival if they went. It might not be as dangerous as everyone thought. After all, they didn't even know what the training was for. No one would dare to try the consequences of not going. Everyone understood the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils. Just now, the so-called exchange of people who hurt him was just bullsh * t with the people of Purple Golden Cave.
This statement of sacrificing oneself to save others caused the scene to fall silent for a moment.
However, everyone still thought that this was just an excuse. To hell with their sworn brotherhood. To put it bluntly, they still thought that he was looking for trouble to avoid going to the Saint Land.
Gong Lince continued, "How can you save him just because you want to? If you can't save him, won't you be refusing to go to the Saint State?"
Niu Youdao: "It's not as difficult as Sect Leader said. As long as I have the right conditions, I have a certain degree of certainty that I can rescue them before we set off for the Holy Land!"
Gong Lince's face tightened as he said, "What if we can't save him?"
Niu Youdao said without hesitation: "If Sect Leader insists on saying this, I also can't explain it. How about this, as long as the Sect is willing to give me a certain amount of help, once the time is up, regardless of whether I can rescue him or not, I will honestly go to the Saint Land without any complaints. In front of Master and two Martial Uncles as witnesses, I will not go back on my word, nor will I deny it! "
Everyone looked at each other. Chun and Tu looked at each other, and the anger in their stomachs also inexplicably subsided because of this sudden intervention. Both of them then looked at Zhong Guzi, who was sitting cross-legged, and saw that he still had an indifferent expression on his face.
Gong Lince asked tentatively: "How do you want the Sect to help you?"
Niu Youdao: "I hope that the Sect can mobilize all the people under the control of the Sect to cooperate with us, especially Bozhou where Elder Qiao is personally stationed. Bozhou and the Song Kingdom share a common border, it is a place where we can use force to deter others. It is indispensable!"
Upon hearing that they were going to make such a big scene, Gong Lince immediately rejected the idea, "No, it's impossible! What is the Empress of the Song Kingdom? The Sect will not mobilize the army for such a person. It's impossible to exchange the lives of countless soldiers for such a woman. "
"Have you ever thought about it? Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain wouldn't agree to it. It's not that easy for your Southern Region people to cross their territory and attack the Song Country. You know your relationship with the Imperial Court. It's not realistic to rely on Bozhou people to compete with the Song Country. Even if the Southern Region people can fight their way to the Eastern Domain River, how long would that take? The Saint Land's experiential learning has already expired. We can wait for you to rescue him, but do you think the Saint Land can wait for you to rescue him? "
Yan Li: "Sect Leader is right, this is not advisable!"
Niu Youdao pointed at Yan Li. "Villain!"
"What did you say?" Yan Li stared at him.
Niu Youdao ignored him and continued to speak to Gong Lince, "Sect Leader has misunderstood my meaning. To save my sworn sister, causing the people to be plunged into misery and suffering, this is not what I wish to see. I am not that muddle-headed. It's not really an attack on the Song Kingdom, but to put pressure on the Song Kingdom, to create a deterrent force to force the Song Kingdom to release the people. If the Song Kingdom doesn't release them, then I, as your sworn brother, have done my best … "
After the two sides had a deep conversation, the Purple Golden Cave understood his meaning. The quarrel about going to the Saint Land became secondary.
After the matter was clarified, the two elders and Gong Lince left. Niu Youdao stayed in the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. He knelt in front of Zhong Guzi and kowtowed. "Thank you, Master, for your help!"
Zhong Guzi slowly opened his eyes and asked, "You didn't hesitate to mobilize so many people. Do you have a deep friendship with the Empress of the Song Kingdom?"
Niu Youdao: "Not a deep friendship, but after all, she's my sworn sister. Disciple can't just watch her die."
Zhong Guzi: "For an empty reputation, is it worth it?"
Niu Youdao: "In Jianghu, after so many ups and downs, disciple can't tell if I'm black or white. I only care about loyalty. It doesn't matter what others think of me. It doesn't matter whether the people can be saved or not. As long as I've done my best, it's fine as long as I have a clear conscience! "
Zhong Guzi slowly closed his eyes and said, "Saint Land, good luck!" What he meant was, I can't help you with anything.
"Yes!" Niu Youdao kowtowed again and got up to leave.
When he walked out of the door, Ju An bowed and said, "Uncle, take care."
Niu Youdao nodded. He didn't walk far before he heard the door close. He looked back and saw that Ju An had already closed the door of the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. He turned back and continued walking.
Guan Fangyi was already waiting at the foot of the stairs. When she saw him, she quickly greeted him and asked, "What happened?"
Niu Youdao laughed. "Nothing good. On the list of Saint Land, I'm one of the three people from Purple Golden Cave who are going there. Damn it, I was so cautious before because I was afraid that I would be taken away. In the end, what I was afraid of happened. Now it seems that the preparations I made in advance really came in handy. "The corner of his mouth was full of self-mockery.
"Ah!" Guan Fangyi was shocked. "What happened?"
…
Back in the Conference Hall, a group of people discussed the matter regarding Niu Youdao and then dispersed to carry out their tasks.
Yan Li was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he went to Gong Lince's side and said, "Senior Brother, Niu Youdao is too arrogant!"
Gong Lince squinted at him. "What are you trying to say?"
Yan Li: "Since we've already agreed, whether or not the people can be saved, he has to go to Saint Land. Since we're already involved, it's easy to prevent him from saving the people. Just give Wu Gongling a little more confidence and Niu Youdao won't be able to succeed."
Gong Lince put his hands behind his back and turned to face him. He asked, "What else do you want?"
"Uh …" Yan Li said awkwardly, "Senior Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just feel that Purple Golden Cave can't let him do whatever he wants. It's a good thing to teach him a lesson, lest he becomes arrogant again."
Gong Lince shook his head and sighed. "Junior Brother, what are you thinking? Why do I remember that you've mentioned to me many times that Niu Youdao has to be careful and vigilant in everything he does? Let me ask you, is the relationship between Niu Youdao and Hui Qingping really that deep? Is it worth it to make such a big fuss to save someone just because of Hui Qingping? "
Yan Li was stunned for a moment. He stroked his beard and said, "It's a little strange."
Gong Lince: "Hui Qingping has been crippled for a long time. Why didn't he mention it earlier or later? Why did he mention saving people when we were talking about the list of names? Don't you think it's strange? Don't you suspect that this is a trap set up by him to avoid going to the Sage Region? If he had such a plan, he would have made preparations as early as possible. If you really want to do this, won't you fall into his trap? "
These words really wronged Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao had long wanted to ask Purple Golden Cave to help save people, but he had been thinking about how to ask because Niu Youdao knew that Purple Golden Cave wouldn't agree to this kind of thing. It just so happened that the matter of entering the Sage Region fell on his head, so he just went with the flow.
Yan Li hesitated and said, "If he really doesn't want to go, I'm afraid it's useless for us to avoid him. I'm afraid he will cause more trouble."
Gong Lince: "But we can't jump into the pit of our own accord! If he really catches us and runs to the Sleeping Tortoise Pavilion to cause trouble, will it be fun? Junior Brother, don't make trouble anymore. Let's put aside our personal grudges and let him enter the Sage Region first. This is the important matter at hand. Also, have you forgotten why we let him come to the Conference Hall? "
Speaking of this, Yan Li was silent.
Gong Lince sighed and said, "In the list, he is the Elder representing Purple Golden Cave. After going to the Sage Region, the members of Purple Golden Cave can only follow his lead. All the sects are in the same situation, and we don't know what to do in the Sage Region. That guy still has some ability, and his adaptability is very strong. You have also experienced his means in the Secret Territory of Heaven Capital. If there is any competition in the Sage Region, he is, after all, a member of Purple Golden Cave. Currently, he is also attached to Purple Golden Cave, so he will definitely stand on Purple Golden Cave's side. "
"When we asked him to come to discuss, we didn't consider whether he would agree to go or not. We just wanted him to do his best to help Purple Golden Cave, and not let Purple Golden Cave suffer losses. Otherwise, if something happens in the Sage Region, Purple Golden Cave won't be able to bear it. What are you thinking now? Do you want to take revenge? Is it time? Don't you have a sense of priorities and the overall situation? "
