Chapter 857 You Are Forcing the Palace!
Although the tone is still respectful, but the tone of the conversation is already soft and thorny, which is very different from the careful flattery before, it has changed!
This attitude made some people unacceptable, and Meng Xuan was furious.
Seeing this, Long Xiu quickly raised his hand to stop him, and didn't let him stop talking. He was afraid that if he said nothing, both sides would not be able to step down and fight to the end. Now is not the time to make a deal.
Meng Xuan understood something, and forcibly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Guan Fangyi was secretly startled, and found that Niu Youdao was really getting stronger and stronger.
Long Xiu changed the topic, "Niu Youdao, let me clarify the matter between you and Xiaoyue Pavilion first, what is going on between you and Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Niu Youdao: "Cooperating with Xiaoyue Pavilion, I was also forced to do nothing. Who was the one who attacked the thatched cottage back then? Everyone knew that if I hadn't cooperated with Xiaoyue Pavilion, I wouldn't be alive now. Who would have thought Jingcheng, that guy is trying to kill me again!"
Seeing that he kept bringing up the subject of Shang Jianxiong, Long Xiu didn't answer, and continued to ask about Xiaoyue Pavilion, "They keep you safe, but the condition is to use Nanzhou troops to suppress Zhao Guo and help them make trouble?"
Regardless of the truth, Niu Youdao admitted it, "That's right."
Long Xiu: "What is their intention of raising troops?"
Niu Youdao: "It should be to replace Zhao Guo."
Meng Xuan sneered, "It's a joke, do they think that Zhao Guoneng will obediently hand over the Zhenguo artifact to them?"
Niu Youdao casually said, "The business mirror is in their hands."
business mirror? The long-disappeared business mirror is in the hands of Xiaoyue Pavilion? Everyone was startled, the heads of the three major sects looked at each other in blank dismay, it seemed that Xiaoyue Pavilion's ambition had been planned for a long time.
This side has been worried that Niu Youdao might be from Xiaoyue Pavilion.
Long Xiu: "You don't just use the people from Nanzhou, but the people from the entire Yan Kingdom. This is no longer a matter for you to repay favors. Could it be that you want my Yan Kingdom to help him with Xiaoyue Pavilion for nothing?"
Niu Youdao: "Of course it won't be for nothing, and it is natural to give an explanation to the three major factions. Xiaoyue Pavilion has already promised that after the completion, the territory of the three states will be cut from the territory of Zhao State as a gift to the three major sects of Yan State. Pie thank you!"
"Only three states?" Gong Lince was very dissatisfied.
Meng Xuan: "My country of Yan paid such a high price to help them, and the territory of the thirty-three states of Zhao State was only given to the three states? This is absolutely impossible!"
Niu Youdao: "After the incident, they can't fully replace Zhao Guo with their strength. They must be aware of this. There is a lot of room for negotiation on this matter, so there is no rush. In short, cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit. I will not let Yan Guo suffers, and will give a satisfactory explanation to the three heads, otherwise the three heads will not let me go!"
Meng Xuan snorted coldly in his heart, he will not let you go after the matter is over!
...
Tong Ming, the housekeeper of Tong Mansion, went out to have a look, and found that in the past, the gate was crowded early in the morning, but this morning, no one who came to visit had disappeared.
It seems that the shocking changes last night have refreshed many people's minds. They are all old fritters in Beijing. They have a way of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and there are no fools.
The matter is too big, and before the results are seen, I am afraid that there will be no more guests.
If Xiangye wins, people who don't come will naturally flock here again, and they have excuses, such as learning that Xiangye entered the palace at night and is not at home.
Tong Ming laughed at himself, turned around and went back inside.
...
In the harem, a group of eunuchs are directing the imperial guards to clean up the ruins.
Outside the court hall, a group of ministers gathered and whispered, but it was a long time before the court began.
Everyone knew that something happened last night, so no one asked the eunuch to remind them. They were all waiting for the news, and I don't know how many people were worried.
At this time, Shang Jianxiong really had no intention of going to court early, and was discussing the aftermath with the three important ministers.
Tian Yu hurriedly ran from outside, and urgently reported: "Your Majesty, Niu Youdao is not dead!"
"What?" The four monarchs and ministers all turned their heads in shock.
Tian Yu said with a worried expression on his face: "I'll report from you below. Niu Youdao escaped a catastrophe and hid underground in the besieged area. After the heads of the three major sects passed by, he suddenly came out of the ground and is now fighting with The heads of the three major sects are discussing something."
Shang Jianxiong turned his head angrily, stared at Tong Mo and scolded, "What the hell are you doing? You used such a lot of power, and people managed to escape underground easily? Don't you know what it means to see people when you live and when you die?" corpse?"
He stood and talked without pain in his back, and the target location was beaten up like that, with flames soaring into the sky, even if there were corpses, he couldn't tell who was who.
Besides, people from the next three factions came to control the scene, so no one could go to the scene to make trouble, how to search?
Of course, it's useless to explain this kind of thing to the emperor. At this time, the emperor doesn't care about the process, but only cares about the result.
Tong Mo was numb in place, with a pained expression on his face. It wasn't a matter of avoiding a catastrophe underground. From the time the envoys from the six countries showed up at the target location, he realized that things were going to be troublesome. Niu Youdao was obviously on guard. , I am afraid that Niu Youdao may not be able to get rid of him, but it is really unfortunate that the most worrying thing still happened.
Gao Jiancheng and Shang Yongzhong glanced at each other quietly. As soon as there was a movement last night, they immediately guessed that the person in front of them was murdering Niu Youdao based on their sense of smell, which had been immersed in the capital for many years. It was his own judgment before, but in front of him, the emperor said it himself in a panic.
"Watch what they are doing!" Shang Jianxiong turned around and yelled at Tian Yu again.
Afterwards, I walked back and forth anxiously at the scene, not to mention the Six Nations Mission, the three major factions had killed so many people because of this incident, it is impossible for him not to be afraid at all, if the three major factions really want to kill him, and pinch him It's as easy to die as an ant, and his life has always been in the hands of the three major factions!
He is very clear that the current situation is on Niu Youdao's side. If Niu Youdao is not dead, he is at a disadvantage.
As soon as Niu Youdao died, he had the upper hand.
When the two sides fight each other, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Niu Youdao is not dead now!
Now, most of the military power in the entire Yan State is controlled by the Nanzhou group, and the surrounding forces of the Yan State have been constrained by various conditions. If the three major factions really want to attack him, they will not have any scruples!
"Your Majesty!" Tian Yu, who had just run away for a while, came back in a hurry, and urgently reported: "He Niu Youdao, the head of the three major sects, is coming towards the palace."
Hearing this, Tong Mo's old face showed misery, he had already noticed that it was a signal that the heads of the three major sects and Niu Youdao came to the palace together.
"Go and greet!" Shang Jianxiong waved his hands in a panic. Before the situation became clear, he didn't dare to put on a high profile anymore.
A group quickly left the harem.
The ministers gathered outside the court turned their heads one after another, and they all noticed that a group of monks flew over from outside the palace and directly broke into the palace. A group of people walked towards the harem without haste.
Soon, Emperor Shang Jianxiong led a group of people out again, and the two sides collided in front of the gate leading to the harem.
Shang Jianxiong and others saluted the heads of the three major sects, who stared at him coldly, with a dignified atmosphere.
Niu Youdao put the sword in his hand on the ground, stuck it in front of him, and broke the calm with a smile, "Your Majesty didn't want to see me before. I have a thick skin, so I took the initiative to come to see Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not be offended."
Shang Jianxiong's cheeks twitched violently, he didn't say anything, ignored him, and didn't look at him.
He knew very well in his heart that his own life and death were in the hands of the three major factions. As long as the three major factions didn't want to kill him, Niu Youdao couldn't do anything to him, so he didn't need to give Niu Youdao any face.
After Niu Youdao glanced at Tong Mo with a calm face, he smiled again: "Three heads, I almost forgot something. Among the assassins who assassinated me last night, a group of them escaped from the city secretly, and they have been killed by my It was taken down by someone. Now they are outside the city, afraid that there will be an accident if someone colludes with the assassin, and dare not enter the city easily, I hope the three masters will send someone to meet them and bring them here, so as to confront them!"
The heads of the three major sects were taken aback for a moment, and this guy also caught a group of assassins? How dare you say it wasn't your pre-set trap?
Gong Lince waved to the disciples below, "Go and bring him here."
Niu Youdao: "Lao Liu, you go and lead the way."
"Okay!" Xu Laoliu agreed, and left with the disciples of Zijin Cave.
When Niu Youdao looked at Tong Mo again, he found that there was a look of horror in Tong Mo's eyes, and he stared at him with tight cheeks, as if he had guessed what the so-called 'assassin' was about.
Niu Youdao smiled back at him with a half-smile, but in Tong Mo's eyes, this smile was extremely vicious!
Gong Lince spoke up again, "I have something to ask His Majesty, except for His Majesty the Emperor, all the others back away!"
How can there be any retreat, after hearing this, Tian Yu and other eunuchs in the palace moved closer to Shang Jianxiong with the hilt of the sword in their hands, looking like they were going to die together.
Swish! A group of Zijin Cave disciples drew their swords on the spot, and the headmaster spoke, but they were disobedient and turned around, and immediately forced them over with their swords.
"Everyone back down!" Shang Jianxiong turned his head and yelled left and right. He knew that if the three major factions wanted to kill him, these people would not be able to protect him.
Those people could only back away slowly, and Tong Mo and the others who stood away kept a close eye on this side.
Gong Lince: "Your Majesty, so many disciples from the three major sects who were in charge of protecting His Majesty died last night, as well as members of the missions from the six countries. Your Majesty must give us an explanation for this matter!"
Shang Jianxiong: "This was done by a villain, and the three major sects should severely punish that villain!" When he said 'rogue', he looked directly at Niu Youdao, clearly saying that Niu Youdao was that villain.
Niu Youdao seemed to be smiling but not smiling, it didn't matter.
Gong Lince: "Everyone knows right and wrong, there is no point in beating around the bush. We don't make it difficult for His Majesty, so as not to make His Majesty look ugly, and give His Majesty a choice. Your Majesty will either abdicate and pass the throne to the Crown Prince, or give us another satisfactory explanation. !"
Shang Jianxiong was full of grief and indignation, "The widow is innocent, why do you want to apologize? You are forcing the palace!"
Isn't it forcing the palace? Niu Youdao looked playful.
Long Xiu said coldly: "If you dare to do something, you have to be brave. When you act recklessly, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. The disciples of my three major sects protect you, and you have to work hard without credit. How dare you lay hands on them? Is it tolerable?" It's unbearable, we must also give an explanation to the whole faction!"
Niu Youdao said abruptly from the side, "The three masters are too graceful, and he might not understand what they said. Emperor, let's make it clear. Between you and Tong Mo, one must die. If you die, Tong Mo will still die." Die, you make your own choice!"
