Chapter 632 What Started as a Conspiracy Has Become a Conspiracy

Gao Jiancheng got up and invited Niu Youdao to sit at the side coffee table.

Before serving the tea, Fan Zhuan opened the box for Niu Youdao to see, and asked, "Master Dao, is this the golden hairpin?"

Niu Youdao took it out and looked it over and over again, then nodded, "That's right, it's this one, the gift box is no longer needed." Turning around, he gestured to Gao Jiancheng for the golden hairpin in his hand, "It's really embarrassing, I don't have the habit of carrying money with me. Since I couldn’t afford to buy it, I had to borrow money from Butler Fan to buy it, which made Mr. Gao laugh.”

Gao Jiancheng laughed, this made him understand what was going on, because he basically didn't carry any money with him, and he was used to not carrying money when he usually sold things. It was not difficult to understand when he was in trouble occasionally, so he asked: "This is a woman's item. Did Daoist buy it as a gift?"

Intentionally gossiping to invigorate the atmosphere, the two met for the first time after all, a little gossip can bring the distance closer, and it is too hard to get straight to the point.

Niu Youdao hummed, "Give it to a friend."

Gao Jiancheng: "How can such a vulgar thing be a gift from the Taoist?" Turning back to Fan Zhuan, he said, "Is there any exquisite jewelry in the storeroom? Show it to the Taoist to see if he likes it." .”

"Okay!" Fan Zhuan responded, and was about to leave, but Niu Youdao waved his hand to stop him, "If you want to give something to a friend, you can spend your own money to buy it sincerely, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Gao Jiancheng was puzzled, did you pay for this? This seems to be bought under the account of my Gaofu.

People say it's a loan, so can they really let them pay back the money? I gave all 10 million, so do you still care about this?

For ordinary people, ten gold coins can be used by a family for more than a year, but for the two of them, this amount of money can be forgotten later.

But since people said so, they are not people who are short of this little money. If they don't want it, they don't force it.

Gao Jiancheng glanced at the golden hairpin twice more, thinking about going back and asking the housekeeper to buy another one of the same style to see if there is something else wrong.

It is inconvenient to look at the present, Gao Jiancheng asked the question, "Master Dao is here, what is your order?"

"How dare you give Master Gao any orders." Niu Youdao didn't ask for the gift box, and stuffed the golden hairpin into his sleeve, "I have something to ask Master Gao for advice."

Fan Zhuan took the gift box and put it aside, then turned around to pour tea and water for the two of them, and also listened in.

Gao Jiancheng showed the appearance of listening carefully, "It's okay to say, Daoist, Gao is all ears."

Niu Youdao: "Ming people don't speak dark words in front of them, so I won't go around in circles."

Gao Jiancheng nodded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Niu Youdao didn't shy away from Fan Zhuan, he let Fan Zhuan secretly go to the thatched cottage to negotiate with him, so it can be seen that he is Gao Jiancheng's absolute confidant, "I saw Mr. Gao's letter last time, and the situation is very clear. The letter mentioned One point, the imperial court is going to let Nanzhou wipe out the rebels, I wonder if Master Gao still remembers that?"

Gao Jiancheng nodded, and stretched out his hand to invite the other party to drink tea, "Did the Taoist find it strange why he didn't issue an order to go to Nanzhou for so long?"

Niu Youdao didn't ask this at all, since the other party mentioned it, he was willing to listen attentively, "I would like to hear more about it."

Gao Jiancheng: "It should be related to the current situation. The current situation was unexpected at the beginning. Almost all the monks from various countries were involved. Except for Yanzhao, the other two sides tried to destroy the supplies provided by the other side to the support objects. Supply, casualties are heavy, almost every day monks die in battle, during this period of time, there are really a lot of casualties. It is unexpected that the Three Kingdoms of the West are willing to pay such a high price. Master Dao can understand what Gao said Deep meaning?"

Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone is deliberately taking the opportunity to consume the strength of the monk?"

Gao Jiancheng: "Master Dao is also a monk. Some things should not be said in front of Master Dao, but Master Dao is not an outsider, so Gao is naturally quick to vomit. Master Dao knows it, and he knows it as soon as he hears it. Yes, the Western Three Kingdoms strongly supports it." The situation has changed unexpectedly. Some people in Han Song seem to understand it, and they are also secretly contributing to the situation. The army has been suppressing the situation for a long time and deliberately stalemate. Seeing that there is a chance to consume the strength of the opponent, the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom are naturally happy. See, now how can we let the Daoist Nanzhou people come out to break the situation?"

Niu Youdao: "Aren't the countries afraid that the factions will find out and ask them to settle accounts?"

Gao Jiancheng: "What is the account, how is this account calculated? The east side said that the internal chaos of Yan State is not chaotic. Facing the millions of troops of Yan State, one should not attack rashly. If one is careless, one will lift a stone and shoot oneself in the foot. If Cultivator Song didn’t believe it, wouldn’t it be easy for the army to suffer a small defeat? Cultivator Han Song naturally believed it and dared not take any more risks. The west side said that once the Yan Kingdom is defeated and divided up, and Han Song takes power, the consequences will be disastrous.”

"Seeing that the interior of the country of Yan is about to become a pot of porridge, seeing that the meat is on the verge of mouth, and the cooked meat is about to be bitten, is it necessary to sit and watch the country of Yan slowly calm down the interior? Can monk Han Song continue to invest in manpower? Stop it, you've already done everything, and Xibian can't see that the previous investment was sacrificed in vain, so he can only continue to play with him, and he won't stop until he can't bear it anymore."

"The situation develops naturally, what has been discovered so far? With all due respect, a cultivator who uses this method and focuses his energy on cultivation may not be as good as the secular world that spends a long time on this and soaks in this way. People. This matter started from a conspiracy, and it has become a public conspiracy. There must be an expert behind the scenes, otherwise it would not be possible."

Fan Zhuan, who was listening, quietly glanced at Gao Jiancheng. The master's words seemed to be intended to secretly plant his own use value in Niu Youdao's heart.

Hearing these remarks, Niu Youdao himself had to admit, what did he see through? He didn't realize the conspiracy behind this incident from the beginning to the end, and always thought it was a premeditated land grab, so where did he start?

After a moment of silence, Niu Youdao asked: "Master Gao said that there is an expert in charge, who is he referring to?"

Gao Jiancheng shook his head: "Looking at the consumption of monks, it should have nothing to do with Yanzhao, it should be either from the group in the east or the group in the west, or..." He raised his finger and pointed to the sky.

When he said this, a person flashed in Niu Youdao's mind, and he secretly asked, is it him?

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Wouldn't it be depleting our country's strength if we go on like this?"

Gao Jiancheng smiled: "It's nothing to talk about, it's really not good, the worst is not to fight. For the countries, although grabbing territory is important, it can't compare with the balance of power. No matter how strong a monk is..." He raised his finger and pointed to the sky , "Can those few people control the world by themselves? Those few people can't do much by themselves, and there must be people who do things below. In the same way, this is the world of monks, but people who hold secular power in various countries also want to Keep your right to speak, and if you keep your right to speak, you will protect your own interests."

"Master Dao, for those who are in power in the secular world, there can't be too many monks. Once the flood reaches the point where they can control the corners, what right do the people in power in the secular world have to say? They can change whoever they want, even The emperor said that it can be changed, and even a bubble of opposition can't come out. Isn't the secular ruler a lamb to be slaughtered? If he can't even keep a little right to speak, he is a slave to the secular ruler, no matter how big he is The territory is also owned by someone else, and there is no right to make decisions by snatching it, and you have to work hard, so is there any point in snatching it?"

With the words so clear, Niu Youdao finally understood that for the imperial powers of all countries, monks are always the greatest danger, and it is nonsense to pile up crimes on King Ning alone.

On the other side, Gao Jiancheng shook some dry goods for himself when they met, Niu Youdao had to admit that this trip was not in vain based on this alone.

"Lord Gao, I don't care what the other countries are doing. I only know that if the Yan Kingdom lets them go on like this, Nanzhou will be in trouble sooner or later. Once Han and Song enter the war, without the restraint of South Korea, the area east of Zhao will be in trouble." Without scruples, Jinzhou, which is close to me, will be the first to be unlucky, and my Nanzhou has become the frontier between Yan and Zhao, completely exposed to the fangs, and I can find fault with me at any time, and the border will be delayed I have a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in Nanzhou. Yan Guo is exhausted, and South Korea can't spare it. The ghost knows what Zhao Guoguo will do to my Nanzhou. Therefore, we must suppress the civil strife as soon as possible, and don't give the army of Han and Song A chance to directly attack." Niu Youdao tapped the coffee table with his index finger.

This time it was Gao Jiancheng's turn to smile wryly, "Master Dao, you think too highly of me, even if you throw my old bones out, you can't kill anyone, let alone scare anyone. I don't have the ability to quell civil strife , Your words really embarrass me."

Niu Youdao: "You can't pacify, I can pacify Nanzhou, and now there is only a legitimate excuse to send troops, and I am here for this purpose."

A justifiable excuse to send troops? Gao Jiancheng frowned slightly, his eyes moved strangely, and he tried to ask: "Could it be that you want the court to make an order?"

Niu Youdao nodded, "Lord Gao can figure it out as soon as he guesses it, but this battle can't be done by my family, it needs the concerted efforts of the princes, and my Nanzhou wants to control the power of the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom. The rebels are raging, but that Shang Yongzhong is hiding The capital is pretending to be dead, and Da Sima's power has become a display, can Mr. Gao be sure that His Majesty will give the power of Da Sima to the Yongping County King?"

"Ah!" Gao Jiancheng was startled, and looked at Fan Zhuan in blank dismay. He had seen a lion open his mouth wide, but he had never seen such a wide open mouth, "This..."

He didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a long time: "Master Dao, with all due respect, it is impossible for His Majesty to give the position of Grand Sima to the King of Yongping County. His Majesty is forced to abdicate. Even if the crown prince succeeds, it is impossible to agree to the three factions to be handed over to the king of Yongping County. Dao Lord, it is useless for me to say this. If you really dare to say this, you have to say it in the morning. The whole family prepares the coffin!"

Niu Youdao: "With Mr. Gao's ability, there is really nothing to do? Or, if Mr. Gao can provide a possibility, I will figure out a solution myself."

Gao Jiancheng waved his hands together, "This matter is absolutely impossible. Too many people's interests are involved, and no one from the royalist faction will agree. Even if Daoist finds the three major factions, the three major factions probably won't say this. Once the mouth is opened, there is no need for other countries to attack, and the country of Yan will be completely messed up."
