Main Text Chapter 586 The War Is Coming
After the master left, Tao Qingli and the others were invited to stay in another courtyard.
Without outsiders, the three of them had to face this problem, but they were speechless and didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Tao Qingli who spoke first and asked, "Miao Yi, do you want to come to Mu Xing Palace?"
Miao Yi smiled bitterly: "It's a lie to say I don't want to come. I really didn't expect that I could be so valuable."
"It's you who are being humble. You are worth it. The old palace master also said that you were capable when he was alive." Tao Qingli smiled a bit far-fetched. Although Grandma Tao said that Miao Yi was capable, she also said that she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress him in the future. Miao Yi, unlike here, paid a sky-high price to dig it out. "Or just promise her."
Miao Yi shook his head slightly, "Actually, even if I don't agree to her, she won't give up this cooperation because of me. I'm not valuable enough for Mu Xinggong to give up such a big benefit, but it's inevitable that she will use this to make things difficult. ." There was another thing he didn't say, which was that he might personally offend Cheng Aofang.
Zhao Fei, who had a similar status, guessed Miao Yi's worries out of sympathy and said to Tao Qingli: "Sister, actually I still recommend that you let Miao Yi come to Mu Xing Palace. Having Miao Yi in Mu Xing Palace may not be good for Shui Xing Palace. Bad thing. If there is any trouble in Shui Xing Palace, Miao Yi will not ignore it. He can also help us speak in Shui Xing Palace."
Miao Yi was startled and looked at Zhao Fei without saying a word.
This is not unreasonable. When Tao Qingli and Sikong Wuwei were sleeping on the same bed and talking in private, he also heard Sikong Wuwei say that Miao Yi attaches great importance to friendship, so there is something about Xingxiu Hai distributing treasures, but Miao Yi Yi is also a person for whom you are unkind, so don't blame him for being unjust to you. He also has a ruthless side and is capable of any deception or deception.
If you force him to stay because of yourself, I'm afraid it will cause a rift in your heart. Thinking of this, Tao Qingli nodded and said: "Miao Yi, you'd better stay. If you don't have the ability to sit down and walk with Cheng Aofang, you can still speak in front of her."
"This..." Miao Yi looked embarrassed. He was really embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to come. He risked his life to fight and kill in the cultivation world just for this benefit. But if I leave like this, I wonder if I have become an unkind and unjust person.
He knows very well that if a grown man wants to have a place in this world, he must have a bottom line that he can hold on to. This is called persistence! You may have to pay a heavy price for this persistence. But it is also a necessary factor for success! Otherwise, if you abandon everyone, everyone will abandon you.
Zhao Fei advised: "Brother, don't be embarrassed, just go to Mu Xing Palace. Cheng Aofang has already reached this point. If you refuse again, it will be like slapping her in the face. I'm afraid it won't just be a matter of whether you come or not. , but maybe if you offend her, she will cause trouble. "
Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded, "I just can't figure it out, why does she have to poach me?"
Zhao Fei smiled and said: "It's very simple. You performed too well during the previous negotiation and attracted her attention."
"..." Miao Yi didn't know what to say. He didn't think he performed very well.
Tao Qingli also said: "Stay, you are here. If Mu Xing Palace has any plans for Shui Xing Palace later, we can detect it early. Zhao Fei is right. Maybe you can help us. , If there is anything that needs your help, I believe you will not ignore it. Maybe you can play a greater role in the water palace here. "
Miao Yi looked at Zhao Fei again and saw Zhao Fei nodding vigorously.
Miao Yi hesitated for a while, and finally slowly clasped his fists and said, "In this case, Miao Yi would rather be selfish than obey orders!"
The next day, the two parties sat together again. Cheng Aofang sat there holding a tea cup and turning a blind eye to everyone, slowly drinking tea without saying a word.
Tao Qingli and the other three looked at each other, and Miao Yi took a step forward and said, "Since Palace Master Cheng loves her so much, Miao Yi is not talented, so he is willing to work for Palace Master!"
Cheng Aofang raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a flash of amusement in her eyes, with the pleasure of conquest. She put down her tea cup and said with a smile: "I will naturally not go back on my promise to you. When the battle against the Sun Palace is over, there will be more If a spot becomes available, we will arrange it for you immediately!”
Not a reward immediately? Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Miao Yi has a heartfelt request."
Cheng Aofang smiled lightly and said, "Say!"
Miao Yi replied: "The troops in the Water Palace are already in a panic. If Beizhi leaves at this time, it will shake the morale of the army and be detrimental to the war. I sincerely ask the Lord of the Palace to reward Beizhi after the war."
This means I have to stay in the Water Palace for the time being to participate in the war! Cheng Aofang frowned. The Water Palace went out to fight first to distract most of the experts from the Sun Palace. It would be extremely stressful and dangerous. If you died in the battle, wouldn't my efforts have been in vain?
Tao Qingli and Zhao Fei looked at Miao Yi, but they were slightly moved, knowing that there was no need for Miao Yi to take this risk.
But for Miao Yi, he had to take this risk. Since he had decided to do this, he had to consider his own interests.
The reason is simple. Cheng Aofang promotes herself in such an unconventional way. No one can tell how big the backlash will be from the dissatisfaction of the people below. Cheng Aofang cannot be at all concerned about the reactions of the people below. If he comes to her at this time, what if? If he couldn't get the reward afterwards, wouldn't he have become a laughing stock, and would he still have the nerve to return to the Water Palace?
As long as he stays with Tao Qingli first, even if something happens to Cheng Aofang, he won't lose anything in Shuixing Palace. At worst, he can just pretend that nothing happened.
Considering that the plans of the Water Palace might have been planned by Miao Yi, she didn't know what would happen after Miao Yi left. Cheng Aofang didn't want any accidents to happen in this battle. After all, this battle was of great interest, and she had to pay attention to it. So she nodded slowly and said, "Okay! As you say!"
Even if this matter was settled, the next thing was simple. The Water Palace and the Wood Palace successfully signed the Ru Lv Ling and officially formed an alliance!
After the two sides discussed the action plan again, Tao Qingli and the other two said goodbye. There were not many people on this trip. If there were too many people, they would be conspicuous. There were only three people when they came, and there were only three people when they left.
Soon, the big bosses of the Water Palace received the summons of the Palace Master Tao Qingli and gathered in the meeting hall of the Water Palace.
Three walking: Zhao Xuanzhen, Wang Fengze, Yan Shangqing.
Six deacons: Luo Guanghao, Tong Lin, Wang Sitian, Qi Zheng, Huang Shengtian, Che Youlu
Ten hall masters: Miao Yi, Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, Zhang Xinshui, Dou Liufang, Su Li, Tian Ba, Sun Shouguang, Quan Wushuang, Shen Huaixin.
There are also 27 walkers under each hall, all of whom are Red Lotus monks, except for Miao Yi Zhenjia Hall where all the Red Lotus monks were killed. Including Miao Yi, the hall master, there is no Red Lotus monk in the entire Zhenjia Hall.
There are also seven deacons of the halls, all of whom are Red Lotus monks. It has to be admitted that the comfortable environment of the Water Palace has nurtured quite a lot of Red Lotus monks. Even among the deacons of the first hall, there are Red Lotus monks, not including those driven away by Granny Tao during her lifetime, and those who were eradicated after Granny Tao passed away. Otherwise, it is conceivable how many Red Lotus monks the Water Palace has accumulated over the years.
Including Palace Master Tao Qingli, all 53 Red Lotus monks of the entire Water Palace were present. This was obviously a meeting that only Red Lotus monks and above could participate in, but Miao Yi was an exception. However, no one thought it was a surprise that Miao Yi was here. If he wasn't here, it would make people feel wrong.
"Greetings to the Palace Master!" Everyone suddenly bowed in unison to greet him.
Tao Qingli, who came out from the back and walked to the Palace Master's throne, did not sit down, but stood in front of the throne and stretched out his hand to signal him to stand up. Looking around at the people present with bright eyes, seeing so many Red Lotus monks present, thinking that there are still Blue Lotus monks under his command who have been raised for so many years without consuming more than other palaces, he also felt a bit of heroism in his heart. My Water Palace may not be unable to fight!
"I summoned you all here today to announce a major decision!" Tao Qingli said in a deep voice, "I can't sit still and wait for death, so I decided to take the initiative and gather 130,000 people from the Water Palace to attack the Sun Palace first!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene. The three walkers and six deacons in front kept silent, because they had communicated with the nine people in advance. It was impossible for Tao Qingli not to deal with the people around him first, and it was impossible to summon all the Red Lotus monks of the Water Palace to the scene without the support of the people around him.
Most people thought they had heard it wrong. The head of Zhending Palace, Zhang Xinshui, was shocked and bowed his hands, saying, "Palace Master, are you saying that we should attack the Sun Palace first? Are we going to attack the Sun Palace?"
Tao Qingli glanced at him, then glanced at everyone, "I reiterate again that my Water Palace cannot sit and wait for death, so I decided to take the initiative and gather 130,000 troops from my Water Palace to attack the Sun Palace first!"
The head of Zhenwu Palace, Dou Liufang, lost his voice and said, "Palace Master, you can't do that. The Sun Palace is full of tigers and wolves. We have never fought before and are not their opponents at all. Moreover, my Water Palace does not have a purple lotus cultivator sitting in it, how can we fight against the Sun Palace!"
"Yes, yes!" Some panicked people responded one after another.
"Who said there is no Purple Lotus monk in my Shuixing Palace!" Tao Qingli shouted, and suddenly summoned the golden dragon head staff left by Granny Tao. It immediately emitted a purple light, and the dragon head became several times larger, winding up half a foot high, with its ferocious mouth open, lifelike and powerful. "Is this fourth-grade magic weapon of mine not as good as a Purple Lotus monk? Back then, a Purple Lotus monk died under this dragon head staff. Can I not kill a Purple Lotus monk if I meet him again?"
The three walkers, the six deacons, Miao Yi, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, immediately responded with a bow: "We are willing to follow the Palace Master!"
Everyone was shocked. Are these people crazy?
The dragon head staff returned to its original shape. Tao Qingli faced the crowd again and said loudly: "If you are willing to sit and wait for death, I will not force you. I still have a way out. At worst, I can go to Tianwai Tian to serve the Holy Lord. But what about you? Do you have a way out? Even if you surrender, can the Sun Palace spend the cultivation resources to support you? Do you still think you can keep your position? You all know in your hearts that you are useless to the Sun Palace. Instead, they will covet your position and your savings over the years. They will definitely kill you all, rob you of your savings over the years, kill your people, rob your things, and sleep with your women. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, that glory and wealth will not belong to you. You will live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Are you really willing to sit and wait for death like this and watch all this happen?" (To be continued...)
