Both the host and the visiting guests are looking at each other.

The man took out a piece of paper in his sleeve and shook it open, and there was a portrait of Niu Youdao on it, he looked at Niu Youdao against it, and nodded slightly 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 but show an interested look, and asked, "Who are the two of you, and what are you doing?"

The woman's voice was crisp, and she introduced herself: "Bengong Zhou Qing." ”

Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look the woman up and down again, Niu Youdao hesitated: "This palace?

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

The woman added to herself again, "Nanzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Shouxian is the father of this palace. ”

"Oh!" Niu Youdao finally reacted, daring to love is the emperor's concubine, Zhou Shouxian's daughter came, he probably guessed what it meant, his eyes fell on the man again, and asked, "What about you?"

The man said: "CRRC government order, Ga Miao Shui!"

"Oh!" Niu Youdao has a head, I haven't seen this person, but I have heard of this person, it is the close eunuch next to Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong, when Shang Chaozong attacked Qingshan County, it seems that this person came to negotiate on behalf of the imperial court, and asked: "You are the apprentice of Tian Yu, the governor of the Great Interior, right?"

"Exactly!" Ga Miao responded.

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

Ga Miaoshui threw out a token, Niu Youdao took it and looked at it, threw it back, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat!"

Only Zhou Qing sat down, and Ga Miaoshui adhered to his duty and stood beside Zhou Qing with his hands tied.

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

Niu Youdao's eyes first paused on this woman's slender hand, and found that this woman's hand was really beautiful, and it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman with such a good hand, and it was impressive at a glance. After that, his attention fell on the jade pendant, took it and looked at it, and shook his head with a smile.

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

As the other party said, when he saw the jade pendant, he did guess who the person who said hello was, and said, "Trouble the concubine to say hello to Liu Guifei on my behalf." Yu Pei pushed back.

His so-called Liu Guifei was the mother of Shang Xue, the jade princess of Qi State, and when he was in Qi State, in order to promote peace, Shang Xue gave him a token to facilitate his contact with Yanjing, which was the jade pendant that was paired with it.

Seeing this jade pendant, he also confirmed the other party's intention more and more.

Zhou Qingdao: "Presumably, the mage should know the meaning of this palace. ”

Niu Youdao: "I guessed a little." ”

Zhou Qing: "The princess has sent a message to inform here, and the priest promised her in Qijing that she will try her best to promote peace between His Majesty and the King of Yongping County, and try to avoid another conflict between their uncles and nephews, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Niu Youdao touched 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, obviously the war involved Zhou Guifei's father Zhou Shouxian. It is also understandable that once Zhou Shouxian is defeated, it is impossible for Shang Jianxiong and the imperial court to take responsibility, someone must come out to take responsibility, and it can only be the defeated Zhou Shouxian who bears the responsibility. It is conceivable that once the concubine becomes the daughter of a criminal minister, I am afraid that the life of this Zhou concubine in the palace will not be easy, and the father and daughter are dependent on each other.

Just looking at this situation, Zhou Shouxian, who is backed by the power of a country, seems to have little confidence in the war.

And Shang Xue frequently sent letters to beg him to deal with him, and Zhou Guifei came here again, which shows the need of the two women to promote peace.

He believed that the arrival of this Zhou Guifei was allowed by Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong, otherwise how could a dignified concubine leave the palace so easily, not to mention that the CRRC Mansion Order personally accompanied him, it was strange that Shang Jianxiong did not agree.

Niu Youdao nodded: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

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

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

Zhou Qing: "If you can win the favor of Emperor Qi, why should the mage be humble." The situation here has always been under the attention of the imperial court, and according to the judgment of the imperial court, the mage has enough influence over the king of Yongping County, as long as the mage is willing to exert influence, this battle will be difficult to fight. Not to mention that the war is all about the devastation of the people and the suffering, Your Majesty and the King of Yongping County are uncles and nephews after all, not to mention that the biggest beneficiary of the war is not the King of Yongping County, but Tianyumen, why do you want to do this stupid thing of blood relatives fighting to make outsiders applaud?"

Niu Youdao is secretly funny, now that he knows the blood relationship, who was the one who forced Shang Chaozong to be cornered in the first place?

Shook her head slightly and said: "Since the concubine Niangniang knows about Tianyumen, she should know that the five counties under Nanzhou are not what the prince said, the prince of the five counties only holds two counties, nearly 600,000 horses, and the prince only has 200,000 in his hands. ”

Zhou Qing: "As long as the prince avoids the war, whether it is Tianyumen, or Mei Linsheng, Wu Tiandang, and Zhao Xingfeng, the three traitors, there is nothing to worry about!"

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

Zhou Qing: "My father once stayed under Meng Shanming, and knew that Meng Shanming's generation of famous generals was not in vain, and the power of King Ning was all helped by Meng Shanming. I thought that Meng Shuai had long since passed away, and I didn't want to live in seclusion all the time, so I went out of the mountain again to follow the king of Yongping County. Don't talk about this, just talk about the troops, if those three traitors have to fight, if there are 200,000 horses missing the king of Yongping County, my father's pressure will be greatly reduced. ”

Niu Youdao secretly sighed, in just a few years, the Shang Dynasty Sect, who fled from Yanjing like a lost dog, already had the strength to force Shang Jianxiong to let go.

Of course, it is not that Shang Jianxiong is afraid of the strength of the five counties, but that Shang Jianxiong does not dare to fight with the strength of the whole country under internal and external troubles, if not, Shang Chaozong will not dare to fight this battle, and Tianyumen is purely taking advantage of this loophole.

And the reason why Shang Jianxiong was able to let go of this face was that once Nanzhou was lost, what would the people of Yan Guo think? How could Shang Jianxiong be embarrassed by the emperor? The first thing that others thought was that Shang Jianxiong was incompetent.

Zhou Qing continued: "Don't worry about the Tianyumen, as long as the King of Yongping County avoids the war, once the war is unfavorable to the Tianyumen, it will be the death of the Tianyumen, and Your Majesty will launch the three major factions to wipe the Tianyumen from the territory of the Yan Kingdom!"

Niu Youdao believes this, once the war launched by Tianyumen fails, it means that Tianyumen is difficult to control Nanzhou, and there is no strength to control Nanzhou, no matter what Tianyumen talked with the three major factions before, it will face the clearance of the three major factions, what else can you play if you can't play?

"And Your Majesty will not treat the king of Yongping County badly, the king of the county will be promoted to the prince, and the five counties under Nanzhou will be divided into the fiefdom of the prince!"

After Niu Youdao heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, "I really can't do anything about this." ”

Ga Miaoshui on the side said loudly: "Your Majesty said, Nanzhou Ning and his own family, not with foreign thieves, if the king of Yongping County still remembers the things of the year, Your Majesty can make concessions again, and the entire Nanzhou can be classified as the prince's fiefdom!"

The meaning of this obviously means that as long as the Shang Dynasty Sect avoids the war, the Shang Dynasty Sect does not have to fight, and Nanzhou is also the Shang Dynasty Sect.

However, Niu Youdao heard the sinister intentions, and his brows moved slightly, "Niangniang, father-in-law, after talking for a long time, the court doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet, and things are not what you think at all." ”

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

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

Speaking of this, he only now realized why Tianyumen did not hesitate to start internal strife within the five counties in advance, and dared to take precautions for some possibilities a long time ago, and to put an end to possible future troubles. It can be seen that in order to take Nanzhou, Tianyumen really spent a lot of effort to plan.

"What?" Zhou Qing was taken aback.

Ga Miaoshui said in a deep voice: "How is this possible? Even if the king of Yongping County can't understand it, how can Meng Shanming let the prince easily isolate himself from the military power, how can the dignified Meng Shuai not know the importance of the military power?"

"That's already the case!" Niu Youdao nodded affirmatively, he naturally wouldn't say that this was his suggestion to follow the trend, one was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer!

Zhou Qing suddenly looked panicked.

Ga Miaoshui's expression changed greatly, knowing that if this was the case, this battle would be inevitable. Thinking about internal and external factors, the possibility of Tianyumen supporting Feng Lingbo is indeed very high.

Niu Youdao suddenly said: "If something happens to the king of Yongping County, I will not be happy, I have a plan here to discuss with the two, maybe there is room for things to turn around." ”

Guan Fangyi glanced at him, not knowing what bad water this guy was going to have.

Zhou Qing was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said, "Please speak!"

After some conspiracy between the two sides, Ga Miaoshui and Zhou Guifei did not stay long and left in a hurry.

It's not for nothing here, at least I know the situation of Shang Chaozong and who the enemy commander is......

Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect, Lingxiu Mountain, all the disciples of the three sects all transferred and left on the same day.

Not long after the three factions left, Niu Youdao also led his people to quietly disappear into the mountains and forests......

Where the Tianyumen was located, Mei Linsheng, Wu Tiandang, and Zhao Xingfeng hurriedly left the command center that had been formed and had not moved forward for the time being, and secretly went to the various departments under the escort of the disciples of the Tianyumen.

Peng also led a group of high-ranking Tianyumen officials out of the courtyard of the command center afterwards.

While walking on the steps of the mountain road, a disciple came quickly to report, "The county lord Shang Shuqing and the others, as well as the disciples of the Liuxian Sect, the Fuyun Sect and the Lingxiu Mountain sect are already on their way. ”

"Okay!" Peng stopped and turned around again, facing the elders, and said in a deep voice: "Don't startle the snake for the time being, wait for the people to come, no matter the others, as long as Niu Youdao arrives, immediately secretly take down all the people and others! This kid is the most cunning, and he is also the most uneasy one in this seat, before the war starts, he must be controlled first, and he is not allowed to produce variables." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, as long as the overall situation is controlled, do you still need to talk to Niu Youdao about the benefits of drinking?

Feng Entai's face was heavy, and he exhaled softly, helpless.

However, when a group of people came to the main palace hall, another disciple came to report urgently: "Your master, Niu Youdao is gone!"

Peng, who hadn't had time to sit down, was startled again, and scolded angrily: "It's gone? 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, and then they touched it and looked at it, and found that the people in the villa went to the empty building, and there was no one in the villa, Niu Youdao and his personnel did not know where they went, and they all disappeared." ”
