Main Text Chapter 1718: Each Has Its Own Tricks

Watching Gao Guan leave, Shangguan Qing remained silent, thinking about how Master Qing was recruiting people one after another to make a series of arrangements. He was probably a little worried about whether Niu Youde could win the bet. After all, there were only a dozen or so princes under a king, and four princes. The location is no small matter.

Sure enough, Master Qing asked slowly, "Shangguan, do you think Niu has virtue and can succeed?"

This is really difficult for Shangguan Qing to answer. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Niu Youde's Juxian Hall cannot recruit people, so why is there someone blocking it? The bottom line is that no one is willing to apply, not even casual cultivators. Who among the elites of the army would go to that damn place, not to mention those four families had set prerequisites and restrictions.

But he couldn't say anything that would make Master Qing unhappy, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Since he dares to bet on his own life, he must have some confidence."

To be honest, Master Qing really wanted to call Miao Yi in person and ask him about it. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary. If the method is good, it will succeed. If the method is not good, it would not make much sense for him to intervene. The majestic Emperor is too conciliatory. People have seen the joke, and the conditions and restrictions of the four families are there. If people say hello everywhere, it is difficult to avoid leaking the news. The four heavenly kings are not deaf.

After a while of silence with his hands behind his hands, Master Qing slowly said: "Help him build up momentum, let the Heroes Association move over there, and let the news of the bet out as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Shangguan Qing bowed slightly and responded.

Qingzhu is meeting silently here, and the people from the Fourth Army are also meeting silently.

On a mountain top overlooking the distant scenery of mountains and hills, the nine marshals arrived first and waited for a while. Soon, four people, Ying Wuman, Haoze, Guang Junan, and Kou Zheng, arrived one after another.

Kou Zheng was the last one to arrive. As soon as he landed, Ying Wuman sneered, "Your Kou family really found a good son-in-law!"

Kou Zheng immediately retorted, "If your smart brother hadn't taken the initiative to cause trouble, how could this have happened?"

"Hey!" Marshal Chou Lu Cheng Taize immediately stood up and pressed his hands on both sides. "You two, stop arguing about this now. That arrogant person dared to say this, so he must be somewhat confident. The princes What does edge mean?”

Guang Junan said: "My father's meaning is very simple. Since the matter has already happened and His Majesty has intervened, it is useless to say anything else. We should find ways to avoid losses."

Huang Hao, the Wulu Marshal who belonged to the Guang family, asked, "I wonder how the prince plans to avoid it?"

Guang Junan: "Father said, overall, our side still has the advantage. First of all, no one wants to go to the ghost market. If someone goes, there must be fraud. So we don't need to scare ourselves. And Your Majesty The other side may not sit idly by and watch them lose, so there is no need for us to stick to the rules and just stare. Just because we don’t obstruct them openly doesn’t mean we can’t obstruct them secretly. We have everyone in our hands, so we must have plenty of ways to do it. It must not be difficult for everyone to do something that is visible but cannot be grasped. "

Everyone nodded, and Cheng Taize looked at Ying, Hao, and Kou again, "I think the three princes will not just sit idly by and ignore it. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Kou Zheng said: "My father means the same thing. He predicts that Your Majesty will give Niu Youde a boost. Once the news of the bet spreads quickly throughout the world, it must be His Majesty who is behind it. Most people don't have such a fast way to spread the news, and this We have no reason to say that His Majesty directly helped Niu Youde or something like this. When the time comes, we can also do this kind of trivial and unreasonable thing. We have people and horses under our hands. I guess no one below will do it for a person with no future. If you go somewhere and offend us, everyone has to weigh the consequences.”

Marshal Zilu Tengfei stood aside and muttered: "Our people are easy to restrain, but we are afraid that the people controlled by His Majesty's men may not listen to us."

Kou Zheng sneered and said: "Don't worry about this. Father said that if your Majesty's people dare to order people to go directly to Niu Youde, it will be easier to deal with, as long as the people over there dare to go. We are not decorations, and it is not without us over there. People, if you encourage more people to vote, then a large number of people will go to the ghost market, haha! What will be the consequences?"

Cheng Taize raised his thumbs and praised: "Kou Tianwang, in this case, it is not a question of a bet. It is a question of whether some people have problems running the army and whether they are qualified for their positions. Your Majesty will not need to put his position at that time." We can solve it if we come out.”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded silently again. After looking at each other, their opinions were unified. With various backup methods to plug the leak, they felt relieved.

Only Tengfei shook his head: "Although Niu Youde's strength is not that good, his demeanor on the battlefield is indeed worthy of praise. I'm afraid it won't be that simple. Everyone should think more about it later. Is there anything missing?”

Ying Wuman smiled and said, "Teng Shuai seems to be quite optimistic about that Niu Youde, right?"

Tengfei belongs to the Ying family faction, so he should be more respectful towards Ying Jiuguang, but Ying Wuman is still a bit too young in front of him. He doesn't have much prestige to suppress him, and he doesn't need to act too confident. He waved his hands calmly and said, "It's not about good or bad feelings, but when I was guarding Purgatory, I witnessed Niu Youde charging among millions of people. His heart was extraordinary, and he was brave and not afraid of death. , His unstoppable momentum cannot be underestimated, as can be seen from his undisturbed performance in the main hall. It is better to bully a white-headed man than a poor young man. It is always right for everyone to be cautious, so as not to capsize in the gutter. "

These words made everyone ponder for a moment, and a hint of displeasure flashed in Ying Wuman's eyes. Although he was not as obvious as Ying Wuque, he still felt the pain of losing his son in his heart, and he did not want to hear people say good things about Miao Yi.

Teng Fei caught the unhappiness in his eyes with a flash of his eyes, and sneered in his heart. You are a kid who doesn't even have full hair. If you have the ability, show me your face. Without my support, you may not be the head of the Ying family. Sit down, you are not happy anymore, I am still observing whether you are suitable to be the leader.

Kou Zheng felt the most emotional about Teng Fei's words, because he knew best what Miao Yi did in the main hall. It was really a shame on the Ying family in front of everyone, but the Kou family was not good at that time. He came out to testify. If he didn't testify on the spot, he would be unable to testify afterwards. Miao Yi was taking advantage of the Kou family. He later helped Qing Zhu poach the Kou family, which made him very angry at that time.

After the news reached his father, he praised his good son-in-law and said that he really did not see the wrong person back then. With this ability, it would not be a shame for the Kou family to shoot themselves in the foot.

Kou Zheng suggested that Kou Lingxu throw out the Tianmigong decree that he had obtained from the Xiahou family in advance, and ordered all the people of the Kou family in the main town of Ghost City to withdraw.

However, Kou Lingxu disagreed, and instead gave him a rude reply: If a bitch wants to build an arch to hide her shame, is the Kou family even worse than a bitch? When the Kou family is at this stage, how can they not do some superficial work? The higher you stand, the more you have to look good, because the higher you stand, the more people will see you, so how can you be naked? You should stay there first, don't tear off the last layer of fig leaf, and see what Niu Youde wants to do.

Regardless of the outcome, the more he learned about Niu Youde, the more he saw Niu Youde's ability, and the more he admired his father's vision. He had been optimistic about Niu Youde so early back then, and if it hadn't been for Qingzhu's intervention, , this should be such a good thing. When I reach a certain age and take the position, it would be great to have such supporters below.

Similarly, the Queen Xiahou Chengyu also invited the Heavenly Prince Xiahou Tuo to meet alone.

As soon as he saw Xiahou Tuo, Xiahou Chengyu quickly stepped forward and saluted with a half-crouch: "My granddaughter wishes grandpa eternal life."

"I can't help it, I can't help it, get up, get up quickly, you are pregnant." Xiahou Tuo stretched out his hand to help her up, then looked at her swollen belly and nodded happily, "I don't know why the empress summoned me. Order?"

Xiahou Chengyu extended his hand to invite him, walked with him, and tried to ask, "Grandpa, how confident are you that Niu Youde is recruiting people?"

Xiahou Tuo stretched out his hand to support her elbow from time to time, and said cheerfully: "Why do you care about this?"

Xiahou Chengyu smiled dryly and said: "After all, he is the head of the ghost market and a direct subordinate of his granddaughter Tianmu Palace."

"Oh!" Xiahou Tuo nodded meaningfully, glanced at her, and saw for the first time that she paid attention to the position of the Ghost Market Headquarters. He shook his head slightly and said: "It's hard to say, even the veteran can't say for sure."

Xiahou Chengyu said with some worry: "In other words, he may not succeed?"

Xiahou Tuo: "It seems that the empress hopes that he will succeed."

Xiahou Chengyu: "After all, he is my granddaughter's direct subordinate. If his power can expand, it won't be a bad thing for my granddaughter, right? If the Xiahou family can help him, it shouldn't be difficult, so..."

"Empress!" Xiahou Tuo interrupted and said slowly: "What you should do is to serve His Majesty well. It's better not to get involved in this struggle for power. Your Majesty probably doesn't want to see the harem taking too much power. ”

Xiahou Chengyu touched his belly and said, "My granddaughter doesn't want to take any power. It would be good to recruit a few future confidants for the child in her belly."

Xiahou Tuole said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, you think too much. You don't need to worry about this. Your Majesty will take care of the emperor's future. I still say what I said, as long as the Xiahou family does not fall, no one can shake your status. …Girl, don’t sacrifice yourself for the sake of inferiority, do you understand?”

Feihong quietly flew away from Luyang Garden, which was full of vitality and quiet, and finally came to a secluded valley as quiet as a knife.

The stream was gurgling and going up the bank. Feihong carefully looked around and finally saw a man sitting alone on a rock reading a book under a crack of sunlight. It was none other than the supervisory envoy Sima Wentian. He was shocked. She couldn't help but pause.

She came here after being notified by her supervisor, but she didn't see it, but she saw the head of the Supervision Zuo Department. She had met Sima Wentian more than once, but she had never had any contact with Sima Wentian. She was not interested in the Supervision Zuo Department. She had psychological shadows at all, especially when facing a figure like Sima Wentian alone, she was even more frightened. She did not have the psychological quality of Miao Yi who dared to speak eloquently with the ministers in the court. (To be continued.)
