Chapter 314 Wait
Bu Xun understood what he meant, and wanted to support Shang Chaozong, but he was afraid of causing Shang Jianxiong's counterattack when he openly supported him. He wanted to turn the corner from Niu Youdao.
"Do you think this Niu Youdao has any weight in speaking with Shang Chaozong?" Hao Yuntu suddenly asked him again.
Bu Xun quickly followed his train of thought, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "According to the news from the spies in Qingshan County, Niu Youdao now lives in seclusion in Qingshan County and rarely contacts the Shang Dynasty. One thing can be confirmed, from various indications, Niu Youdao has hardly interfered in the military and political affairs of the two counties. On the surface, Niu Youdao seems to have no influence on the Shang Dynasty, but the situation of the hermitage is inaccessible to outsiders. , is also difficult to detect.”
"However, there are a few points worth pondering. Shang Chaozong and his younger sister Shang Shuqing have a good brother-sister relationship. It is recognized that Shang Shuqing has a certain influence on his elder brother Shang Chaozong, but Shang Shuqing also moved to Niu Youdao to live in seclusion. In addition, according to the analysis of the school affairs station, Tianyumen’s biggest source of income today is the brewing of wine in Niu Youdao’s secluded place. The strange thing is that according to various signs, there seems to be no natural Disciples of Yumen, how can Tianyumen’s biggest source of income not be controlled by themselves? The school affairs office suspects that the wine brewing is controlled by Sanpai or Niu Youdao, or is controlled by both parties.”
"There is also the alliance between Jinzhou and the Shang Dynasty. The alliance was formed after Niu Youdao appeared in Jinzhou and killed the envoy of Yan State. Niu Youdao killed the envoy, but he was able to escape from the control of Jinzhou. What if Jinzhou intends to let go, how can Niu Youdao get away from Jinzhou? So in the alliance between Jinzhou and the Shang Dynasty, what role Niu Youdao's intervention played in it is worth imagining."
"Furthermore, Tianyumen came to Qi State a year ago to manage war horses for Shang Dynasty Zong. Liuxian Sect, Lingxiu Mountain, and Fuyun Sect have sent additional people here to help Tianyu Sect."
"Now, the Shang Chaozong sent Niu Youdao again. It stands to reason that Niu Youdao has caused a lot of troubles, and it is not appropriate to show up in public. It can be seen from his fight with Zhuo Chao on the road, but he still came. It can be seen that the Shang Dynasty Zong regards him highly and trusts in his ability, from all the circumstances, Niu Youdao should have a certain influence on the Shang Dynasty Zong."
As the chief executive who lives deep in the palace, he can talk about the situation thousands of miles away in a normal way. It is not because he is so powerful, but because he is in charge of the school affairs office in charge of intelligence in Qi State. The head of the university is the commander of the school affairs desk.
Recently, the emperor paid attention to Niu Youdao, so he immediately consulted the situation about Niu Youdao in case the emperor asked him anytime.
Obviously, there was nothing wrong with the advance preparation and it paid off.
Hao Yuntu nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Since he has influence on the Shang Dynasty, then communicate with him. The Shang Dynasty is ambitious, and the land of the two counties can't satisfy him. Sooner or later, it will expand. I don't want it now. The state of Yan is in chaos, find someone who is more neutral, someone who can talk to Shang Jianxiong, get in touch with Niu Youdao, and help Shang Jianxiong and Shang Jianbo ease the relationship."
Bu Xun asked, "How about Yan's envoys stationed in Qi?"
Hao Yuntu: "Do you think the envoys of the Yan Kingdom will let us manipulate and do what we want?"
Bu Xun leaned forward and asked, "Does Your Majesty have a favorite candidate?"
Hao Yuntu asked back: "What do you think of Hong'er's wife, Shang Xue?"
He was talking about the wife of his second son, Haohong. Shang Xue was not only his wife, but also Shang Jianxiong's daughter.
A few years ago when Yan State was at war with South Korea, due to the situation, Shang Jianxiong married one of his daughters to Hao Yuntu's son for marriage and in exchange for the support of Qi State. Now he has given birth to a grandson and a son for Hao Yuntu. granddaughter.
Bu Xun immediately understood his intention.
Shang Jianxiong married his daughter to Qi State because he wanted her to do her best for Yan State. Shang Xue still needs the support of her natal family to gain a foothold here. This is when Shang Jianxiong needs it. It has more or less influence on Shang Jianxiong. And His Majesty is in the prime of life, the position of Crown Prince of Qi has not yet been established, His Majesty has spoken, how can Shang Xue not work hard? Not for others, even for the future of herself and her children, Shang Xue must do her best.
I'm afraid that Shang Jianxiong also hopes that his daughter can become the wife of the crown prince, so that it will better affect Qi and benefit Yan.
Bu Xun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is wise, this old servant will first go and find out Niu Youdao's tone, and if it is suitable, he will discuss the matter with the Second Prince."
Hao Yuntu hummed, turned his eyes to the northern part of Yan Kingdom again, focused on Beizhou, and asked: "Have you found out the details of the people who helped Beizhou get those war horses?"
Bu Xun said: "The interior of Baiyunjian is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to enter the interior to explore, but judging from various signs, the school affairs platform suspects that it is related to Xiaoyue Pavilion."
Hao Yuntu turned his head slowly, "Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Bu Xun: "Yes! People from Xiaoyue Pavilion entered Baiyunjian, that's all, there is no other evidence. According to Xiaoyue Pavilion's consistent behavior style, Baiyunjian is consistent with it. The school affairs desk judged , This Baiyunjian is very likely to be a secret stronghold of Xiaoyue Pavilion. Xiaoyue Pavilion is secretive and has a strong sense of prevention. The school affairs desk dare not startle the snake, so I have never found a chance to learn more about it, and this is the only situation I have grasped temporarily. "
Although Xiaoyue Pavilion is secretive, Qi State's intelligence network is not a vegetarian, let alone in Qi State's territory, Xiaoyue Pavilion's people in Qi State face the most powerful intelligence network in Qi State. Exposure is impossible, and those who come into the sight of the school affairs desk will naturally be discovered when they come into contact with Bai Yunjian.
In the same way, war horses are the strategic material of Qi State, so they are naturally strictly controlled by Hao Yuntu, but almost all the larger racecourses have spies from the school affairs platform, and the sale of a large number of war horses cannot escape the eyes of the school affairs platform.
As for who should be intercepted and who should not be intercepted, it is all in Hao Yuntu's discretion. With this alone, he has balanced the major cultivation forces in the territory.
Bai Yunjian thought that his secret tossing of war horses was a secret, but he didn't know that he had been noticed by the school affairs platform and had already been paying attention secretly. Su Zhao left Qi State to go to Beizhou to contact Shao's family, and he was already in the sight of Qi State school affairs platform.
The monitoring power of a country is far beyond that of ordinary practice sects. On this point, Niu Youdao has already experienced it.
"Humph!" Hao Yuntu sneered, "Lao Wu has been pretending to be crazy and selling fools in recent years, but he secretly colluded with the people in Xiaoyue Pavilion, Lao Wu, Lao Wu, you better respect yourself, otherwise you can't blame me Be a brother."
The so-called fifth child in his mouth is Hao Yunsheng, the king of the Western Academy of Qi.
Bu Xun bowed his head slightly. He didn't want to say much about this, but he just reminded: "Looking at the movements of those people, they have been making frequent movements recently. The horses are probably going to leave the country in the near future. Do you want to intercept them?"
Hao Yuntu raised his eyes and stared at the map, and said coldly: "War horses, I have plenty, don't care about these, pretend not to know, let them go! The Shao family in Beizhou is ambitious and will not submit to Yan and Han. It is stronger than the Shang Dynasty. The restraining effect is also greater than that of the Shang Dynasty!"
He wished that there would be a few more forces like the Shao family in Yan, Han, Song, and Zhao countries...
Among the white clouds, among the pavilions, Qin Mian waved to a man who had just returned from Tianjing Lake and reported the details, "You step back first!"
"Yes!" The man cupped his hands to Su Zhao who was sitting quietly in the pavilion, and then left quickly.
Qin Mian turned around, looked at Su Zhao and said, "This Niu Youdao is still a bit strong. I didn't expect that the Kunlin tree in his hands couldn't even hold a face-to-face. I don't know if the Tianhuo Church will trouble him."
"Hey!" Su Zhao sighed softly: "Tianhuo Sect is a respectable sect, so it should be impossible to trouble him for the time being. It seems that Niu Youdao escaped this time again. It is no accident that this guy can get out of danger every time. , It really is difficult."
Qin Mian: "The matter over there in Beizhou is very important, and no accidents can happen. My boss, in my opinion, it's better not to do anything with Niu Youdao for the time being. This person is indeed difficult to deal with, and it is easy to cause accidents."
Su Zhao nodded silently. Before Niu Youdao came, she felt that she could crush him to death at any time, but now she found that there was nothing she could do with Niu Youdao, and she felt a little depressed...
On the street, Niu Youdao and Linghu Qiu stood at the entrance of the alley and looked around, those people who had been wandering here in disorder finally disappeared.
The two looked at each other, entered the alley, returned to the gate of the house and knocked on the door.
Hongxiu opened the door, saw that it was them, immediately let them in, and followed up to ask about the situation.
Linghuqiu motioned to turn around and talk again.
Niu Youdao didn't go back to the original yard, but went to the yard where Feng Entai lived before.
Linghu Qiu who followed in was stunned when he saw the dirt piled up around the wall.
After Feng Entai dug this place, he hadn't been here yet. Even though they were in the same courtyard, he didn't know when Feng Entai did such a big earthwork.
Hongfu leaned closer and whispered, "The entrance to the tunnel is in the well."
After Niu Youdao and Linghuqiu left, she and Hongxiu inspected the house and found something abnormal here, so they had to check it out.
Linghu Qiu hurried to the mouth of the well to have a look, and sure enough, he found the entrance. He came back quickly and asked Niu Youdao under the eaves: "Feng Entai really dug a tunnel to escape?"
"That's right!" Niu Youdao said perfunctorily, and then asked Hongxiu and Hongfu to closely monitor the outside world, and immediately send out a warning if there is any abnormality.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Linghu Qiu didn't ask any more, and the two sat under the eaves to drink tea.
"Brother, come back here, what are you going to do next?"
"wait!"
"wait?"
"Run away if you have something to do, and talk about it if you have nothing to do."
After a few chatters, Linghuqiu changed his subject, "Brother, I saw how you fought against Kunlin Shu. The exercises you practice don't seem to be the ones of the Shang Qingzong!"
Niu Youdao asked back: "Which family's exercise do you think it is like?"
Linghuqiu: "I don't know. Didn't you say that Dong Guo Haoran didn't teach you the Dharma? Did Dong Guo Haoran teach it before he died?"
Niu Youdao: "People are going to die, where is the time to teach me the exercises."
Linghuqiu: "Then where did you get this exercise?"
Niu Youdao: "Of course it was given by others."
