Chapter 1244 Behind the Drunkard
This is the truth, but the real reason that prompted him not to hand it over in the end was to unlock the secrets in Shang Jing and practice the techniques in it.
There is no need to tell others about this reason for the time being.
Zhao Xiongge snorted, "Forget it, what happened has passed, and seeing that this guy is still trying to find a way out for the Shangqing Sect, he doesn't bother to worry about it anymore."
But Niu Youdao was still puzzled, "The Shang Jing you snatched from Yu Cang, how could you get involved in this matter at that time?"
Zhao Xiongge: "I told you, I was entrusted by your master at that time. In fact, the news of Shang Jing's appearance had already spread at that time. I don't know how your master and the others knew the specific whereabouts of Shang Jing, but according to your master It seems that Shang Jianbo may know the method of cracking Shang Jing handed down from the Shang family's ancestors. I don't know what is hidden in Shang Jing, which is worth the huge risk for the Shangqing Sect. But I know that it can make your master Please help me, the secret in this Shang Mirror must be very important. When I started to snatch it, I found out that the owner was actually Xiaoyue Pavilion."
"Before I took action, a group of mysterious people had already attacked Xiaoyue Pavilion. I intervened and injured Yucang. Yucang was under siege. In order to save his life, he threw Shangjing away. I snatched Shangjing While escaping, that group of mysterious people immediately gave up chasing Yu Cang and others, and targeted me."
"After I finally got rid of him, I rushed to the agreed meeting place. In the end, the three of them decided that Shang Jing would be taken away by your master."
Niu Youdao interrupted, "Three people? Which three people?"
Zhao Xiongge: "Senior Brother Tang, your master and I. Logically speaking, our identities were not exposed at that time, but for the sake of safety, the three of them decided to escape separately. Because I am stronger, for the safety of the two of them, I will Show up to attract pursuers.”
Niu Youdao said solemnly: "In other words, when the incident happened, the three of you brothers were involved in the same thing?"
Zhao Xiongge nodded, "After I revealed my whereabouts, the killers really chased me. After I ran away, I got rid of them. I thought I was finally safe. When I called back, I discovered that both Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Dongguo had been killed. Obviously, The power of the pursuer is not trivial. While pursuing me, he still has the power to target the two of them. Especially after learning about the crow general Shangqing Sect revealed from your mouth, I immediately realized that the person pursuing me was very likely. It’s related to Wu Chang.”
"Later, news came that Prince Ning Shang Jianbo was killed, and I realized that all this was a trap set up by Wu Chang. I'm afraid that Senior Brother Tang and Senior Brother Dongguo will not know until their death that this incident was aimed at me. It was me who killed them!" He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
Niu Youdao was surprised and uncertain, "How?"
Zhao Xiongge's face was full of bitterness, "Shang Jing was probably in the hands of Wu Chang from the beginning. I was cut off from the Shangqing Sect, and Wu Chang probably discovered it. Wu Chang was eyeing the Shangqing Sect, and he was afraid that he wanted to kill the Shangqing Sect. The Qing sect was forced into a desperate situation. Senior brothers and the rest of the Shang Qing sect's elite were almost wiped out, severely damaging the entire Shang Qing sect. The destruction of Ning Wang Shang Jianbo also cut off the Shang Qing sect's reliance. After forcing the Shang Qing sect into a desperate situation, See what I do, waiting for an opportunity to force me to hand over my things."
Niu Youdao was surprised and said: "Are you sure this is the case? As far as I know, it was Shang Jianxiong and Tong Mo who used Shang Jing as a tactic to target Shang Jianbo."
Zhao Xiongge: "That's all superficial and can be ignored. There are checks and balances among the Nine Saints. Wu Chang doesn't want to take action openly because he doesn't want his true purpose to be exposed. Once the other Eight Saints compete for him, he won't be able to bear it, and he will inevitably have to do it behind the scenes. To promote it. The internal fighting between the Shang family's imperial power was just used by him. I'm afraid that neither of them knew that they were being used, and Wu Chang wouldn't let outsiders know."
"You don't know many bits and pieces, but I know it clearly enough for me to make a judgment. I have been fighting against Wu Chang for so many years and have been opponents for so many years. I have always been highly wary of him. His every move , I can more or less figure out his intentions."
"Actually, your choice at the beginning was right. You covered up Shang Jing's story and kept a distance from the Shangqing Sect. To a certain extent, you protected yourself. But you should never openly expose it. I pulled you to take action, but you put yourself in such danger in Jinzhou and forced me to help you. On your way back from Jinzhou to Nanzhou, I helped you resist the assassin and took action openly. Okay, how can such a big news be hidden from Wu Chang?"
"If I guessed correctly, you were targeted by Wu Chang at that time. After that, Wu Chang has most likely placed an informant around you. You must be careful and don't let too many people around you know. There is news that you are still alive, otherwise Wu Chang will definitely find out."
As soon as these words came out, Niu Youdao was suddenly startled and remembered something, which was what the other party said about returning to Nanzhou from Jinzhou.
At that time, Hai Ruyue's mother and son were poisoned. She intervened and caused big trouble. For safety, she had to invite Zhao Xiongge to come and escort her back to Nanzhou in colorful clothes. When she was in danger on the way, Zhao Xiongge took action.
It was after that happened that Baili Jie from Pianmiao Pavilion suddenly appeared, found Gongsun Bu, and developed Gongsun Bu into a spy placed in the Thatched Villa.
In the past, it was thought that he had attracted the attention of Piaomiao Pavilion because he was too big. But now it seems that it is more than that.
Baili Jie didn't show up earlier, but didn't show up until later. She just appeared after Zhao Xiongge came to help, which happened to match what Zhao Xiongge said.
"Wu Chang hasn't made a move on you for a long time. It should be because you were cautious and didn't find a suitable opportunity to take advantage of. Otherwise, he would never have been able to hold on for so long. Because he knew that it would be difficult to pry my mouth open, so if he made a move rashly, There is no point in arousing my suspicion. He arrested me back then and tortured me all the time. I would rather die than obey, so he knew that being tough was useless, so he could only use roundabout methods."
"The other group of mysterious people who participated in the robbery of Shang Jing in Yu Cang's hands were obviously Wu Chang's people. How could Wu Chang not know that Shang Jing was no longer in Yu Cang's hands? Later, Shang Jing suddenly appeared in Yu Cang's hands again. , used to build a country, even I can see that it has something to do with you, how can I hide it from Wu Chang?"
"I keep a distance from you. My relationship with you is obviously because of the Shangqing Sect. Wu Chang should have guessed what I care about, so Wu Chang's main attention should still be on the Shangqing Sect. As a result, Yu Cang took out Shang Jing. With the penetration power of Miao Miao Pavilion, couldn't Wu Chang find out that it was you? Wu Chang found out that I didn't give Shang Jing to Shang Qing Sect back then, but gave it to you. You let Wu Chang how to think?"
"No doubt, the plan for you was launched immediately. There are two things you can check."
Niu Youdao, who listened carefully, asked: "What two things?"
Zhao Xiongge said: "I don't know if Chuanying and Linghuqiu knew each other before, but I am sure that the deepening of the relationship between Chuanying and Linghuqiu must have happened after Wu Chang learned that Shang Jing was in Yu Cang's hands. The second thing , Chuanying must have captured Xue Luo'er, the master of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, after confirming that you want to enter the Holy Realm."
Niu Youdao was silent. The first one needed to be verified. As for the second one, he was already thinking and inferring based on the known clues.
After I was on the list to enter the Holy Realm, I had a period of preparation in the outside world. After entering the Holy Realm, I went through a lot of back and forth. It took me three months to enter the wilderness and hunt the demon fox. Wentiancheng hung out for a while.
When he saw Xue Luo'er again after that, he could infer the time based on the size of Xue Luo'er's pregnant belly. He nodded slightly and already knew it well.
But now that it's been confirmed that Chuan Ying is from Wu Chang, it doesn't matter whether we want to investigate these two things or not.
"When Chuanying enters the Holy Land to contact you, she will not enter with the background of the Holy Land of Demons, otherwise it will arouse my suspicion. By marrying Xue Luo'er, she is attached to the Ice and Snow Holy Land. With this background, it will have no influence on your situation in the Holy Land. It’s tempting to say that it’s easy to make a good relationship with you.”
"I just didn't expect that you are not a peaceful master and would actually 'die'. Chuanying's move against you failed. I had no choice but to turn against the Shangqing Sect again and use your name to take advantage of the situation. , Chuanying turned to Tang Yi. I think this is probably the process."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. It was only today that he learned that this drunkard was living in Demon Ridge and seemed to be an idle person. Who knew that he would be involved in so many things after his death.
It also affected too many people. The deaths of Tang Mu and Dongguo Haoran, the loss of all elite disciples leading to the complete decline of the Shangqing Sect, the tragic death of Prince Ning Shang Jianbo's family, and even Xue Luoer's pregnancy and marriage, and in the future... I don’t know what will happen. In the final analysis, it is all because of a magic book of the demon sect.
Some of the things that were puzzling during the previous interview with Sha Rulai actually found answers in the mouth of this drunkard. Yu Cang may not know anything, but Wu Chang deliberately helped to conceal it to protect Zhao Xiongge!
To be precise, he didn't want others to easily discover any clues about the secret between himself and Zhao Xiongge!
After knowing this, Niu Youdao sighed, "I really didn't expect that you have been silently fighting Wu Chang, one of the Nine Saints, for so many years. It seems that my trip today was worth it."
Zhao Xiongge: "I have no qualifications to fight against him. I have been enduring and resisting. I tell you this because I hope you understand what kind of person Wu Chang is. I will die, and he will not get anything from me. But you are different, so be careful."
Niu Youdao smiled slightly, "You are in the light and he is in the dark, and you can't move. I am different. Now he is in the light and I am in the dark. Since Chuan Ying has been exposed, it is not certain who will win."
Zhao Xiongge reminded: "Don't mess around."
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, I know it well. Leave this matter to me. You can continue to carry it. You are used to it anyway. In short, I won't accept his tricks. I am worried that I can't find him." Get to the starting point!”
Zhao Xiongge: "Neither you nor Wu Chang are good people. I'm not worried about dog biting dogs. I just hope you remember your original promise to Shang Qingzong!"
