Text Chapter 1696 Compromise

"Otherwise!" Tang Henian thought thoughtfully and said: "Of course the Jade Rakshasa will not tell the truth, but we can verify from another aspect that if the Qingzhu and the Buddhist world had not jointly brought about this matter, we would have reached this point. If she takes the initiative to contact him to calm down the matter, Jade Rakshasa will naturally not say anything to make the matter bigger. This is a guilty conscience. If she is involved in this and the matter becomes big, it will also be troublesome for her. She secretly sends a large number of experts here. What does Bian Lai want to do? Lord Buddha will not give up easily. If Lord Qing really joins forces with her, she will have to demand justice after losing so many masters and she has no worries. "

"Yeah!" Kou Lingxu thought along his train of thought, nodded in approval and said: "In other words, if the Jade Rakshasa wants to make trouble, then there is no such thing as a treasure. If it doesn't make trouble, then there is something wrong with it. Treasure. It’s very possible that it’s true.”

Tang Henian added: "It can also prove from another angle whether Niu Youde lied to us."

Kou Lingxu nodded slowly and thought about it.

Kou Zheng on the side looked secretly anxious. With such a big matter in front of him, why were they discussing the treasure? Can't we think about it slowly in the future?

Of course, he also admitted that the two elders were right. If it was really a treasure that even the demon monk Nan Bo coveted, it must be something good. However, his son's life and death were unknown now, and what he wanted more was to find out what was going on.

After enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Father, you asked me to tell Niu Youde that you would help him settle his grudges with the heavenly officials. I don't understand. If it is so easy to settle it, why should I do it?" Wait until now?”

Kou Lingxu understood his mood. After all, Mi Wenbai's life and death were unknown, so he couldn't say anything that ignored his grandson's life and death. He gave Tang Henian a look and motioned for him to explain.

Tang Henian sighed, "Sir, the people we sent to Youquan to investigate caught a witness at the time of the crime in Youquan. From his mouth, we learned that a large number of heavenly troops had appeared at the scene of the battle."

Kou Zheng was stunned for a moment. Surprised: "Did the troops from Heaven wipe out our family members?"

Tang Henian nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case. Judging from the investigation of the crime scene, there are many traces of attacks by magic bows at the scene, and the number is staggering. This is nothing more than two situations. One is that several of our people During the fight, the magic-breaking bow was used repeatedly to shoot. However, according to the news sent back during the fight, the magic-breaking bow was not used repeatedly. Then there is another possibility. A large group of heavenly men used a large number of magic-breaking bows. The bow attack wiped out several of our troops in one fell swoop, causing several of them to lose contact. "

Kou Zheng's eyes gradually widened, "Guards!"

"I'm afraid this is the only possibility." Tang Henian nodded, "When I received the summons from the uncle, the prince and the other three were meeting. At the same time, all the marshals and Xingjun involved were summoned, and the witnesses who were caught were present on the spot. Everyone confessed their sightings.”

Kou Zheng was shocked again, "Does it mean that the Marshal and Xingjun below know what happened?"

Tang Henian sighed: "The four princes jointly apologized to the marshals and Xingjun, but it is easier to handle after knowing the truth. At least everyone understands. The fault is not with the four princes, but with the Qing Lord who deliberately carried out this murder. After all, the final siege It was the Guards who carried out the annihilation. How could the Guards dare to do this without Lord Qing’s order?”

Kou Zheng said angrily: "Why did Master Qing do this?" The Guards took action. He estimated that his son was dead. The Guards were not afraid of his Kou family background, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.

Tang Henian: "The purpose of Qingzhu's doing this is not clear, but one thing can be confirmed. It started because Niu was virtuous. Qingzhu not only used Niu's virtue as a guide to achieve his goal, but also helped Niu Youde. It's nothing more than I don't want the Ying family's trap to succeed, and I can still keep Niu Youde to contain the prince. As long as Niu Youde doesn't die and continues to be in the ghost market, the other companies will continue to torment, and there is a dirty trick from the Qing master. There is no peace at home.”

Kou Zheng spread his hands and said, "What should we do now? Let's forget it like this?"

Tang Henian said slowly: "The Qing Lord has directly issued an imperial edict to the four princes. He said that the four princes have caused chaos in the world, and ordered the four princes to immediately stop training and return to their positions. Those who do not obey will be regarded as traitors and will be ordered to guard. The army will wipe out all the nine clans and destroy them! In all likelihood, the Qing Lord has already obtained the approval and support of the Xiahou family, and there is no need to worry about the war, otherwise how could he be so strong!"

Kou Zheng really wished that the army would raise the flag and rebel directly. Since Qingzhu made everyone difficult, he would not be able to secure his position in the world, but he knew that this was unrealistic. If he did not go to the last step, no one would drag his huge family with him. To fight to the death for career and endless glory and wealth.

But the anger in his heart couldn't go away, and he still couldn't help but raise his hand to Kou Lingxu and ask the question to which he already guessed the answer: "I wonder what father wants?"

Kou Lingxu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

Tang Henian hurriedly answered on his behalf: "The Qing Lord issued the decree openly, and the Xiahou family secretly conveyed the Qing Lord's attitude. If the Fourth Army withdraws its troops, the Qing Lord can forget about it and pretend that nothing has happened. The marshals and marshals of the following groups and Although Xingjun stated that he only obeyed the fate of the four heavenly kings, all four princes could see that everyone was not willing to risk their lives in a fight. After all, the Guards had powerful weapons and strong combat power. Even if they joined forces, they would have more people. Everyone, even if they can win, it will be a miserable victory, and they will be defeated. The final result will be a lose-lose fight with the Qing Lord, which will only allow others to take advantage. The Buddha Lord will not sit idly by and ignore it. The master’s secret message also gave everyone a step down, and also made the people below acquiesce in the loss of Youquan hunting. After weighing the pros and cons, the four princes could only reply to the master Qing and express their compliance! "

Kou Zheng shook his head slowly, with a bit of a sad smile on his face, and said: "The Qing Lord has brazenly attacked the children of various families this time, and has already shown some of his fangs. Can you still believe his words?"

Tang Henian: "So there are conditions for retreating secretly. From today on, I am afraid that the prince will no longer go to the Tiangong to attend court. You will be the one to attend the court on your behalf."

"Ah!" Kou Zheng was instantly freed from his anger. He thought he had heard wrong and said in disbelief: "I'm going to court? What about father?"

Tang Henian: "This is the meaning given by the Xiahou family in private, and the marshals and Xingjun below were also afraid, worried that there would be no leader, and they strongly demanded that the four kings support their troops and respect themselves. They have already been torn apart once, and don't do it again. Going to the Heavenly Palace for adventure is hard to disobey, so from now on, the four princes will find good land to build a new Heavenly Palace in the area under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army, staying away from the Heavenly Palace to prevent it from happening. At the same time, each of them will choose one of their heirs to represent them in court. , The Kou family is naturally the boss."

Kou Zheng was surprised and said: "Can Lord Qing agree?"

Tang Henian: "I have agreed. Since the Xiahou family can secretly give the message, I am afraid that the Xiahou family secretly exerts pressure on Tiangong. When things have reached this point, if the Xiahou family sides with the four princes, Qingzhu can only rely on his hands." The guards at the top had little chance of winning, so he had to agree. It was also in the best interest of the Xiahou family when the top and bottom were at odds. Otherwise, how could the Xiahou family work so hard? Xiahou Tuo, the old fox, squatted in the dark and remained silent. , This time I took the opportunity to make a profit. Of course, the four princes would not let go of this opportunity, and each asked Tiangong for two million magic bows. "

Kou Zheng said silently: "Master Qing agreed?"

Tang Henian nodded: "We have agreed to allocate funds. Wanting to secure the world is the biggest weakness of Qingzhu. However, how can we do it without a cent? What's more, the losses of the Marshal and Xingjun below in Youquan also need to be compensated. Those broken magic bows are naturally soothing. The best thing.”

Kou Zheng sighed softly, "If I had known this, why would Lord Qing make such a fuss?"

Tang Henian: "The princes estimate that Qingzhu made this move just to test the attitude of the princes. This is also his usual style. If the princes take a step back, he will immediately take a step forward. If the princes force him, forget it. Anyway, He didn’t lose anything, he just didn’t expect the four princes’ reaction to be so strong this time.”

Kou Zheng nodded silently, and then asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with resolving the grievances between Niu Youde and everyone?"

Tang Henian stroked his beard and said: "It seems like this was a coincidence. People all over the world were mobilized. The Tiangong side probably wanted to spy on the military situation. We here arrested a spy who was monitoring the right department. The spy refused to confess anything. At this time, the old slave did not dare to be careless, and was ready to go and see for himself what was going on before making a conclusion. However, at the prison door, he heard the casual sarcasm of the spy and the jailer while chatting. Although it was a joke to ridicule the prince. But I have to admit that one or two random sentences hit the mark.”

Speaking of this, he cupped his hands towards Kou Lingxu to express his guilt, and continued: "After the old slave came back and told the prince, the prince also agreed and took the opportunity to talk to several other parents. Qingzhu pressed Niu Youde The purpose of being in the ghost market is already known to everyone, and the trouble it caused is also known to everyone. Now it has led to such evil consequences. After this incident, it can be seen that Qingzhu is helping Niu Youde behind the scenes, no matter how he does it I'm afraid it's hard to do anything to Niu Youde. Can't we still wake up and let Master Qing tease us behind our back? In fact, we have fallen into a vicious circle and can't extricate ourselves, so from now on, everyone should ignore Niu Youde. Let him fend for himself. No one should mess with him. Let him stay in the ghost market forever. Let Master Qing play alone. It is unlikely that Master Qing will take care of him again. Youde will be transferred back to the Guards. If he is willing to transfer back, he will be promoted or demoted as he wishes. Niu Youde betrayed Qingzhu once, and there was a gap after that. Qingzhu is also suspicious, and it is unlikely that Niu Youde will be transferred to him again. With De as his confidant, we don’t have to worry about Niu Youde getting rich again. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to transfer Niu Youde back to Tianjie to make money? It would be better to leave Niu Youde in the ghost market. . So as long as everyone gives up, Niu Youde will probably be the head of the ghost market for the rest of his life. In this way, the prince's reputation will be fulfilled, and everyone will be free. Otherwise, whoever takes action will have to fight again. The Qing masters faced each other. They had learned from the Ying family's mistakes. Those who were not afraid of trouble could try again. The reason was explained. After weighing the pros and cons, everyone naturally agreed. Of course, the premise was that the prince promised to the three families that he would not train Niu Youde again. , if violated, the three families will join forces to make the Kou family pay the price! Hey, the Niu Youde matter has finally been resolved!" (To be continued.)
