Chapter 974 Master, Elder Niu Is Back
Gong Lince wandered alone in the promenade of the waterside pavilion, thinking, he is different from other elders, he is the leader of the sect, so he must consider whether this incident will have any consequences for Zijin Cave.
The so-called forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. With such a big sect, internal power struggles are inevitable.
In this regard, he is no different from other elders.
The difference is that he is already a character who stands out in the struggle. He controls the entire Zijin Cave, and his responsibilities cannot stay with the original role. Everyone will pay attention to whether he is qualified for the position of head.
While wandering, he was thinking and waiting for news from the thatched cottage.
The disciple who inquired about the progress of the situation came back, walked quickly to the waterside promenade, and reported: "Master, Elder Mo has already captured Yuan Gang..." He told the story of what he had found out.
After hearing this, Gong Lince breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly. Mo Lingxue did a good job, and resolved the matter without bloodshed. This is the best result. It can not only give an explanation to the disciples below, but also prevent the conflict from expanding Hua, it's not a good thing to have a bloody fight with thatched cottage at this time. If it gets out, it may cause shocking changes in Niu Youdao's faction, and it will easily cause twists and turns to accept those forces.
"Yes, I see." Gong Lince waved his hand, signaling his disciples to back off.
Not long after, Elder Mo Lingxuemo came and came back to reply, saying that the matter had been settled, and Yuan Gang had been successfully taken out of the thatched cottage and taken into custody.
"You did a good job, junior sister, you worked hard." Gong Lince praised.
Mo Lingxue smiled wryly, "It's just a fluke, I just had an attitude of giving it a try, and I didn't expect to convince Yuan Gang. Speaking of which, although this man is impulsive, I still admire him. This man is indeed a man .On the way back, I was thinking, if this kind of thing were us, would any of us be willing to sacrifice ourselves like him?"
Gong Lince remained silent, and did not answer this question. He was afraid that the answer would not be convincing, so he stopped talking and changed the subject, "I heard that when the incident happened, Hong Niang asked Ju An to inform Mr. Zhong that he was dead. After that, is there anyone coming from Guimian Pavilion to do something?"
Mo Lingxue shook her head, "I'm also paying attention. From the beginning to the end, there was no movement at Guimian Pavilion, and Mr. Zhong didn't respond at all."
Gong Lince nodded slightly, "At this time, Mr. Zhong must be unhappy with the people who moved the thatched hut, but Mr. Zhong is Mr. Zhong, and he still thinks about the overall situation of the sect from the standpoint of Zijin Cave. He didn't let us Difficult to do."
The turmoil subsided, but Gong Lince did not relax his vigilance, and arranged for people to pay close attention to the thatched cottage to prevent any further disturbances.
However, the situation calmed down, and he also had the mind to deal with other matters. He met with the distinguished guests at the door again, and it was not easy to leave the distinguished guests alone for too long.
Yu Cang, head of Xiaoyue Pavilion in Qin State, Guan Jitai, head of Lingxiao Pavilion in Song State, Qu Fan, head of Blood God Palace, and Wu Chengyu, head of Split Heaven Palace, met Gong Lince again.
The few people were not invited by Gong Lince, but a few people asked to come here on their own initiative, which was related to Niu Youdao's going to the Holy Land.
Once Niu Youdao leaves, once Niu Youdao fails to come back, there is a great possibility that Zijindong will take over Niu Youdao's power. It is impossible for Qin State or Xiaoyue Pavilion to pin their hopes on Niu Youdao's return. , Definitely have to prepare for another hand.
To put it bluntly, the establishment of the Qin State requires a stable environment to lay the foundation, and today's Zijin Cave holds a great say in the Yan State's military.
The previous friendship with Niu Youdao is one thing, but the reality he is facing is another, and because of his friendship with Niu Youdao, Yu Cang worried that Zijindong would think too much, and this is to resolve the matter. In order to avoid any misunderstanding.
When Niu Youdao was around, Yu Cang pretended nothing had happened, but as soon as Niu Youdao left, Yu Cang made a move immediately.
And Song Guo, who was seriously injured, also meant the same thing. Because of Hui Qingping's incident, Niu Youdao mobilized the crowd and made Song Guo very nervous. The three major sects of the Song Dynasty were worried that after Zijindong took over Niu Youdao's power, he would take some actions to prove that he had mastered that power. For the sake of deterrence, this is very likely.
Looking around, the Song Kingdom is relatively weak and is the best target to attack. The three major factions of the Song Kingdom have to take precautions and come to reason with Zijindong.
The general reason is that the current state of Yan is not much better, so don't give South Korea an opportunity to take advantage of it.
It is not only talking about South Korea, but also hoping to stabilize the country of Yan so that South Korea will not dare to act rashly, so as to buy more breathing space for the country of Song.
Whether it is Yu Cang or the head of the three major factions of the Song Dynasty, they all know that as long as the current Zijin Cave stands still, the Yan Kingdom will not be able to make waves.
In the final analysis, it is all about taking precautions and taking precautions before they happen.
Several bigwigs were "eating, drinking and chatting" in the important place of the Zongmen of Zijin Cave, but the large birds that took turns patrolling over the Zongmen rushed towards them in one direction.
Two large manned birds flew from the east, so the patrolling personnel here naturally did not dare to be sloppy, and quickly went to intercept and interrogate them, so as not to let outsiders intrude.
It turned out that the person who came was actually from the East China Sea, and the person who led the people from the East China Sea was Niu Youdao, the elder of Zijin Cave. The disciples were very surprised when they interrogated him. Didn't Elder Niu go to the holy place?
There is a cow and a way to guarantee, and the interrogating disciples are released immediately.
After the two large birds from the East China Sea hovered over the main hall of the Zijin Cave, Niu Youdao sent another invitation to the escort, "We're here, let Niu do his best as a landlord."
"We appreciate Elder Niu's kindness. It's really inappropriate, because Elder Niu knows the reason. We have already sent Elder Niu to him, so we should hurry back and return as soon as possible in accordance with the decree of the Great Sage." The leader, Donghai Yaoxiu, politely rejected Niu Youdao kindness.
It’s been a long journey, not because he didn’t want to rest his feet, but because the Great Sage of the East China Sea asked Niu Youdao about the situation when he left the holy land, and found that Niu Youdao himself couldn’t figure out what was going on, and he was a little confused about what was going on. Unintentionally getting involved too deeply, and intending to avoid it, sending someone to send Niu Youdao back is the utmost benevolence.
Of course, it was also because Niu Youdao opened his mouth to borrow the bird, and Niu Youdao's status today is not easy to refuse.
But the Great Sage of the East China Sea himself sent Niu Youdao to a place close to the land, then left and returned, and handed over the rest of the journey to his subordinates who continued to escort him.
"Since that's the case, then I won't force it. You all have a good journey. Thank you to the Great Sage on my behalf."
"Okay, I will bring the words to you, Elder Niu, take care."
After the two parties were polite, Niu Youdao jumped down and flew straight towards the Zongmen hall. He is the elder of Zijin Cave, since he came back, and this time coming back is not a trivial matter, so it is only natural to vent his anger to the Zongmen first. matter.
The two escorting birds soared into the sky again, and quickly went away under the supervision of the large birds in Zijin Cave.
Niu Youdao, who floated outside the main hall of the sect, heaved a sigh of relief, and finally came back. Seeing the Zijin Cave disciples who looked at him in astonishment, he couldn't help laughing. Not to mention other people, even he himself didn't expect that he could return so soon, and shouted, "Where is the head? Go and report to me!"
The tone of the words was still the style of that Elder Niu, who did not treat himself as an outsider at all.
As soon as the words came out, some Zijin Cave disciples immediately came to their senses and ran away quickly.
At the meeting place of the Zongmen, Gong Lince was chatting and laughing happily with several distinguished guests, and he was really in a good mood. This feeling of holding the right to speak in Yan Kingdom is naturally good.
The disciple who came quickly walked to Gong Lince's side, leaned over and urgently reported: "Master, Elder Niu is back."
Gong Lince, who was about to raise his glass, looked astonished on the spot, and his hand holding the glass froze.
Yu Cang, Guan Jitai, Qu Fan, and Wu Chengyu also looked confused, as if they suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Gong Lince turned his head slowly and asked, "Who's back?"
The disciple murmured in his heart, how many Niu elders could there be in Zijin Cave? So he sorted out the word order, and told him clearly, "Elder Niu came back from the holy land, and he asked to see the head, and he was outside the main hall."
Gong Lince seemed to have finally woken up, stood up abruptly, turned around and asked, "Are you sure you read it right, it's Elder Niu?"
The four of Yu Cang also stood up slowly, their faces full of disbelief.
The disciple said: "How could Elder Niu's disciple be wrong, if it wasn't for Elder Niu, he wouldn't be able to get out of the main hall through the interrogation of the guarding disciples."
Without saying a word, Gong Lince turned around and left, Yu Cang and the others quickly followed.
Gong Lince walked a few steps, and suddenly frowned and stopped. Just now, he was thinking about the matter of the Holy Land, and wanted to find out why Niu Youdao came back so soon, but now he suddenly remembered what happened in the thatched cottage. When he came back, did he find a way to come back because he knew about the thatched cottage?
But think about it wrong, the matter in the thatched cottage happened only today, and Niu Youdao had a long way to go back from the holy land, so the time was not right.
Just because he remembered what happened in the thatched cottage, Niu Youdao didn't come back sooner or later, and suddenly came back at this time, it was really a terrible thing, he had a toothache just thinking about it, how could he explain? There is no way to explain!
Thinking of Niu Youdao's nonsense and obsessiveness, the head of the Palace University instantly had one head and two big heads, and the rightful owner came back, and he didn't know how to end the matter in the thatched cottage.
"Brother Gong, what's the matter?" Yu Cang who followed him asked.
Gong Lince turned his head and saw that several people had followed, he immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone go back to the guest house to rest, and Gong will take care of some housework first."
The four hesitated to speak, but also wanted to meet Niu Youdao, and wanted to know what happened in the holy land.
However, Gong Lince dropped his words and left. The four of them wanted to follow, but were stopped by Zijin Cave disciples, who forced them to leave.
"What? Niu Youdao is back?" Fu Jun, who was meditating cross-legged in the room, opened his eyes suddenly, and said with surprise: "It's only been a long time since he went to the holy land, how could he come back?"
His disciple replied: "Master, that's right. It is true that Niu Youdao has returned, and he is waiting outside the meeting hall now. I have seen it with my own eyes, and many people have seen it."
"I'm back..." Fu Junrang got up quickly, and when he was thinking about it, he suddenly stopped and snorted and sneered, "It's good to be back, isn't the master going to help Yan Li, I'll see how they end now! Hard stubble is back, I'm afraid Guan Qingya's position as a deacon will be lost, and your chance has come." He tilted his head and reminded himself as a disciple.
His disciple immediately looked delighted, bowed his hands and said: "The disciples are all according to the master's orders!"
"Go, go and have a look!" Fu Junrang waved his hands and shouted.
PS: Many readers commented and scolded, saying that the protagonist has not returned for a few days, and the events of that day have not even passed for half a day. It caused me to turn over the front from the beginning, but I didn't see that the time was wrong. What's the meaning?
