Chapter 414 Niu Youdao Is Gone!

The host and the visiting guests are all looking at each other.

The man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and shook it open. On it was a portrait of Niu Youdao. After comparing it with Niu Youdao, he nodded respectfully to the woman next to him, "It's him."

Niu Youdao probably saw that it was a portrait from the shadow behind the paper, and couldn't help showing a look of great interest, and asked, "Who are you two, and what are you doing?"

The woman's voice was crisp, and she introduced herself: "I am Gong Zhouqing."

Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look the woman up and down again. Niu Youdao hesitated and said, "My palace? Zhou Qing? Forgive me for being ignorant, can you explain in more detail?"

The man helped to introduce: "This is the imperial concubine."

The woman added again, "Nanzhou governor Zhou Shouxian is the father of this palace."

"Oh!" Niu Youdao finally realized that Ganqing is the emperor's concubine, Zhou Shouxian's daughter is here, he probably guessed what it meant, his eyes fell on the man again, and asked, "What about you?"

The man said: "The government order of CRRC, Ga Miaoshui!"

"Oh!" Niu Youdao nodded. He had never seen this person before, but he had heard that this person was the eunuch close to Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong. When the Shang Dynasty Zong attacked Qingshan County, it seemed that this person came to negotiate on behalf of the court. Question: "You are the apprentice of Tian Yu, the head of the Ouchi, right?"

"Exactly!" Ga Miao responded.

Niu Youdao: "How do I know if you guys are real?"

Ga Miaoshui threw out a token, Niu Youdao took a look at it, then threw it back, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, two distinguished guests!"

Only Zhou Qing sat down, and Ga Miaoshui stood by Zhou Qing's side with his hands tied.

Zhou Qing took out a piece of jade pendant, put it on the table and pushed it towards Niu Youdao who was opposite, "Someone asked me to say hello to the mage on his behalf, saying that the mage will know who it is when he sees this."

Niu Youdao's eyes paused for a moment on the woman's slender hands, and he realized that the woman's hands were really beautiful, and it was the first time he had seen a beautiful woman with such beautiful hands, and it was impressive at a glance. Afterwards, his attention fell on the jade pendant, he took a look at it, smiled and shook his head.

He has a jade pendant that is exactly the same as this one. If the left and right are put together, it should be a pair.

As the other party said, when he saw Yupei, he did guess who the person was saying hello to, nodded and said: "Please send my greetings to Liu Guifei, Your Majesty the Concubine." Yupei pushed it back.

The so-called Concubine Liu Gui was the mother of Princess Shang Xue of the State of Qi. When he was in the State of Qi, in order to promote peace, Shang Xue gave him a token to facilitate his contact with Yanjing. It was the jade pendant that matched it.

Seeing this jade pendant confirmed the other party's intention even more.

Zhou Qing said: "Presumably the mage should know the purpose of my visit."

Niu Youdao: "Probably guessed a little bit."

Zhou Qing: "The princess sent a message to inform this side, saying that the master promised her in Qijing, and tried his best to promote peace between His Majesty and Yongping County King, and try to avoid conflicts between their uncles and nephews. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Niu Youdao rubbed his chin, and found that this matter was both complicated and simple. Liu Guifei's token, Liu Guifei did not come, but Zhou Guifei came instead. Obviously, Zhou Shouxian, Zhou Guifei's father, was involved in the war. It is also understandable that once Zhou Shouxian is defeated, it is impossible for Shang Jianxiong and the court to take responsibility. Someone must come forward to take responsibility, and only the defeated Zhou Shouxian can take responsibility. It is conceivable that once the noble concubine becomes the daughter of a guilty minister, the life of the noble concubine Zhou may be difficult in the palace. The father and daughter are dependent on each other.

Just looking at the situation, Zhou Shouxian, who is backed by the power of a country, seems to have no confidence in the war.

And Shang Xue frequently sent letters begging him to deal with it, and Concubine Zhou Gui came here again, which shows the need of the two women for peace.

He believed that the arrival of this noble concubine Zhou was approved by Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong, otherwise it would be so easy for a dignified concubine to leave the palace, not to mention that the official of CRRC came here personally, so it is no wonder that Shang Jianxiong did not agree.

Niu Youdao nodded: "It is true."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly, "It's good that the mage can remember."

Niu Youdao: "I remember, I can't forget, but I can't do anything about it."

Zhou Qing: "If you can win Emperor Qi's favor, why should the sorcerer be humble? The situation here has been under the attention of the court. According to the court's judgment, the sorcerer has enough influence on the king of Yongping County. As long as the sorcerer is willing to exert influence, This battle will be very difficult to fight. Not to mention that the people will suffer as a result of the war. After all, His Majesty and King Yongping are uncles and nephews. What's more, the biggest profit from the war is not King Yongping, but Tianyumen. Why bother to do this The stupidity of killing blood relatives and making outsiders applaud?"

Niu Youdao secretly laughed, now that he knew the blood relationship, who was it that drove Shang Chaozong into a corner?

Shaking her head slightly, she said, "Since the imperial concubine knows about Tianyu Gate, she should know that the lower five counties of Nanzhou are not up to the prince's discretion. The prince of the five counties only owns two counties, with nearly 600,000 horses, and the prince only has 200,000 troops. .”

Zhou Qing: "As long as the prince avoids the battle, no matter whether it is Tianyumen, or the three rebels Mei Linsheng, Wu Tiandang, and Zhao Xingfeng, there is nothing to worry about!"

Niu Youdao said with great interest: "Does the king of Yongping County have such a great deterrent power?"

Zhou Qing: "My father once stayed under Meng Shanming's command, and he knew that Meng Shanming's generation of famous generals did not come in vain. King Ning's prestige was all thanks to Meng Shanming's help. I thought that Meng Shuai had passed away long ago, and I didn't want to stay in seclusion all the time. Going out to follow King Yongping. Don’t talk about this, just talk about the strength of the troops. If the three rebels have to fight, if the two hundred thousand troops of King Yongping are missing, my father’s pressure will be greatly relieved.”

Niu Youdao secretly lamented that in just a few short years, Shang Chaozong, who had fled from Yanjing in panic like a bereaved dog, already had the strength to force Shang Jianxiong to put down his face.

Of course, it wasn't that Shang Jianxiong was afraid of the military strength of the five counties. It was because Shang Jianxiong didn't dare to fight with the power of the whole country due to internal and external troubles. Loophole.

And the reason why Shang Jianxiong was able to let go of this face is that once Nanzhou is lost, what will the people of Yan Kingdom think? How embarrassing is Shang Jianxiong, the emperor? The first thing others think is that Shang Jianxiong is incompetent.

Zhou Qing continued: "Don't worry about Tianyumen, as long as the king of Yongping avoids the war, if the war is not good for Tianyumen, it will be the death of Tianyumen. His Majesty will launch three major factions to remove Tianyumen from Yan Kingdom erase!"

Niu Youdao believed in this point. Once the battle initiated by Tianyumen loses, it means that Tianyumen will not be able to control Nanzhou, and will not have the strength to control Nanzhou. No matter how Tianyumen talked with the three major factions before, All of them will face the clearing of the three major factions. If you can't play it, what else do you play?

"And His Majesty will not treat the Prince of Yongping badly. The Prince of the County is promoted to Prince, and the five counties in Nanzhou are all designated as the prince's fiefdom!"

After hearing this, Niu Youdao smiled wryly and shook his head, "I really can't do anything about this."

Ga Miaoshui on the side said: "Your Majesty said that Nanzhou would rather be with his own family than with foreign thieves. If the king of Yongping County still remembers what happened back then, His Majesty can make concessions and designate the entire Nanzhou as a prince." fief!"

The meaning of this obviously means that as long as the Shang Dynasty Zong avoids the war, the Shang Dynasty Zong does not need to fight Nanzhou, and the Shang Dynasty Zong also belongs to it.

However, Niu Youdao could hear the sinister intentions, and frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, father-in-law, after talking for a long time, the court seems to have not figured out the situation, and the matter is not what you think at all."

Zhou Qing sat and leaned forward slightly, "I would like to hear more about it."

Niu Youdao: "The king of Yongping County has been controlled by Tianyumen, and the military power in his hands has also been isolated by Tianyumen. Now the person who can directly dispatch the five counties is Feng Lingbo."

Speaking of this, he only realized now why Tianyumen did not hesitate to cause internal strife within the five counties beforehand. Ganqing had already prepared for some possibilities to prevent possible future troubles. It can be seen that in order to win Nanzhou, Tianyumen really spent their minds on planning.

"What?" Zhou Qing was taken aback.

Ga Miaoshui said in a deep voice: "How is this possible? Even if the King Yongping couldn't understand it, how could Meng Shanming let the prince easily separate from the military power? How could the dignified Commander-in-Chief not know the importance of military power?"

"That's the way it is!" Niu Youdao nodded affirmatively. Naturally, he would not say that this is what he suggested to follow the trend. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!

Zhou Qing suddenly looked panic-stricken.

Ga Miaoshui's expression also changed drastically, knowing that if this is the case, this battle is inevitable. Considering internal and external factors, the possibility of Tianyumen supporting Feng Lingbo is indeed very high.

Niu Youdao suddenly said again: "If something happens to Prince Yongping, I will not be happy. I have a plan to discuss with you two. Maybe there is still room for things to change."

Guan Fangyi gave him a sideways glance, wondering what kind of trouble this guy was going to make.

Zhou Qing lost his composure and rushed to say: "Please tell me!"

After the two sides conspired, Ga Miaoshui and Concubine Zhou did not stay long and left in a hurry.

This is not nothing, at least I know the situation of the Shang Dynasty, and I know who the enemy's general is...

All the disciples of Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong and Lingxiu Mountain were transferred away on the same day.

Not long after the three sects left, Niu Youdao also led his own people and quietly disappeared into the mountains...

Where Tianyumen is located, Mei Linsheng, Wu Tiandang, and Zhao Xingfeng hurriedly left from the command center that had not yet moved forward, and secretly went to various ministries under the escort of Tianyumen's disciples.

Peng You then also led a group of high-level Tianyumen out of the courtyard of the command center.

While walking on the steps of the mountain path, a disciple hurriedly came to report, "The princess Shang Shuqing and others, as well as the disciples of Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong and Lingxiu Mountain sects are already on their way."

"Okay!" Peng stopped again and turned around. Facing the elders, he said in a deep voice, "Don't startle the snake for the time being. When someone arrives, the others don't care. As soon as Niu Youdao arrives, he will immediately take all of them secretly. Next! This kid is the most cunning, and also the one I am most worried about. Before the war starts, he must be controlled first, and he will not be allowed to change."

Everyone nodded slightly. As long as the overall situation is under control, is there any need to talk about the benefits of drinks with Niu Youdao? Take it down together, let's see how you talk about it.

Feng Entai's complexion was heavy, he let out a sigh of relief, helpless.

However, when a group of people came to the main hall, another disciple rushed to report: "Sect Master, Niu Youdao is gone!"

Peng, who hadn't had time to sit down, was startled again, and angrily scolded: "Missing? What do you mean?"

The disciple said: "The people who were staring at the villa over there suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no movement in the villa. Afterwards, they touched it and took a look, only to find that there was no one in the villa. Niu Youdao and his staff did not know where they went. , all disappeared."
