The host and the visitors are looking at each other.

The man felt a piece of paper in his sleeve and shook it open. It was a portrait of Niu Youdao. He looked at it compared with Niu Youdao, and nodded respectfully to the woman beside him, "it's him."

Niu Youdao probably saw the portrait from the shadow behind the paper. He couldn't help showing an interested look and asked, "who are you two and what can I do for you?"

The woman's voice was clear and crisp. She introduced herself: "this palace is clear."

Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi looked at each other and couldn't help looking at the woman up and down again. Niu Youdao hesitated and said, "this palace? Zhou Qing? I'm sorry I'm ignorant. Can you tell me more?"

The man helped to introduce: "this is the imperial concubine."

The woman added, "Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou, is the father of this palace."

"Oh!" Niu Youdao finally responded. Ganqing was the emperor's concubine. Zhou Shouxian's daughter came. He probably guessed what it meant. His eyes fell on the man and asked, "what about you?"

The man said, "Zhongche mansion order, miaoshui!"

"Oh!" Niu Youdao nodded. I haven't seen this person, but I've heard that this person is a close eunuch around Shang Jianxiong, Yan Emperor. It seems that this person came to negotiate on behalf of the imperial court when the emperor of the Shang Dynasty attacked Qingshan county. He asked, "you are the apprentice of Da Nei manager Tian Yu, aren't you?"

"Exactly!" he answered.

Niu Youdao: "how do I know if you are true?"

Guamiao water threw out a token. Niu Youdao received his hand, looked at it, threw it back, and then stretched out his hand and said, "please sit down, two distinguished guests!"

Only Zhou Qing sat down. Gamiaoshui kept his duty and stood beside Zhou Qing with his hands tied.

Zhou Qing touched out a jade pendant, put it on the table and pushed it to Niu Youdao opposite. "Someone asked the palace to say hello to the mage and said that the mage knew who it was when he saw it."

Niu Youdao first paused on the woman's slender hand and found that the woman's hand was really beautiful. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful woman with beautiful hands. It was impressive at one glance. Then his attention fell on the jade pendant, took his hand, looked at it, smiled and shook his head.

He had a jade as like as two peas, and the words that he should put together should be a pair.

As the other party said, when he saw the jade pendant, he did guess who said hello, and nodded: "please say hello to Liu Guifei for me." the jade pendant pushed him back.

His so-called concubine Liu Guifei was the mother of Shang Xue, Princess Yu of the state of Qi. In order to promote peace in the state of Qi, Shang Xue gave him a keepsake to facilitate his contact with Yanjing. It was the matching jade pendant.

Seeing the jade pendant, he confirmed the other party's intention more and more.

Zhou Qing said, "the master must know the purpose of this palace."

Niu Youdao: "probably guessed a little."

Zhou Qing: "the princess sent a message here, saying that the mage promised her in Qijing, tried his best to promote peace between his majesty and Princess Yongping, and tried to avoid another conflict between their uncles and nephews. Is there such a thing?"

Niu Youdao touched his chin and found that it was complex and simple. Liu Guifei didn't come to the keepsake of Liu Guifei, but came to Zhou Guifei. It was obvious that the war involved Zhou Shouxian, the father of Zhou Guifei. It can also be understood that once Zhou Shouxian is defeated, Shang Jianxiong and the imperial court cannot bear the responsibility. Someone must come out to bear the responsibility, which can only be borne by the defeated Zhou Shouxian. It can be imagined that once the imperial concubine becomes the daughter of a sinner, it will be difficult for the imperial concubine Zhou to live in the palace. Father and daughter are interdependent.

Just looking at this situation, Zhou Shouxian, who relies on the strength of a country, seems to have little confidence in the war.

Shang Xue sent letters frequently asking him to deal with him. Here, concubine Zhou came again. It can be seen that the two women need to promote peace.

He believed that the arrival of the Zhou imperial concubine was allowed by Shang Jianxiong, the emperor of Yan. Otherwise, it would be so easy for a grand imperial concubine to leave the palace. Moreover, it was accompanied by the order of CRRC government. It was strange that Shang Jianxiong didn't agree.

Niu Youdao nodded: "it's true."

Zhou Qing smiled, "if only the mage could remember."

Niu Youdao: "remember, I can't forget, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Zhou Qing: "If you can win the favor of the emperor of Qi, why should the mage be humble? The situation here has always been the concern of the imperial court. According to the judgment of the imperial court, the mage has enough influence on Princess Yongping. As long as the mage is willing to exert influence, it will be difficult to fight this war. Not to mention the war, his majesty and Princess Yongping are uncle and nephew after all, not to mention the biggest profit from the war It's not the prince of Yongping, but the tianyumen. Why do you do this stupid thing of fighting by blood and making outsiders applaud? "

Niu Youdao is funny. Now he knows the blood relationship. Who forced Shang Zong to be desperate?

Slightly shook her head and said, "since the imperial concubine and empress know tianyumen, they should know that the lower five counties in Nanzhou are not what the LORD said. The Lord of the five counties only holds two counties, nearly 600000 people and horses, and the Lord has only 200000 people."

Zhou Qing: "as long as the Lord avoids war, it's not a worry whether it's tianyumen or the three rebels Mei Linsheng, Wu tiandang and Zhao Xingfeng!"

Niu Youdao said with great interest, "does Prince Yongping have such a great deterrent?"

Zhou Qing: "My father once stayed under the command of mengshanming. He knew that mengshanming's generation of famous generals did not gain a false reputation. The power of King Ning was helped by mengshanming. I thought Meng Shuai had died long ago and didn't want to live in seclusion all the time. I went out of the mountain to follow Prince Yongping again. Not to mention this, just about the military strength. If the three rebels had to fight, my father would be under pressure without the 200000 troops of Prince Yongping Greatly reduced. "

Niu Youdao secretly lamented that in just a few years, he had the strength to force Shang Jianxiong to put down his face after fleeing from Yanjing like a lost dog.

Of course, it's not that Shang Jianxiong is afraid of the troops of these five counties. It's really because of domestic and foreign troubles. Shang Jianxiong dare not fight with the strength of the whole country. If not, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty dare not fight this war, and tianyumen is just taking advantage of this loophole.

The reason why Shang Jianxiong can let go of this face is that once Nanzhou is lost, what will the people of Yan think? Why should Shang Jianxiong be ashamed of the emperor? Others should think that Shang Jianxiong is incompetent.

Zhou Qing continued: "don't worry about tianyumen. As long as Yongping Prefecture King avoids the war, once the war is unfavorable to tianyumen, tianyumen will die. Your majesty will launch three factions to erase tianyumen from the territory of the state of Yan!"

Niu Youdao believes this. Once tianyumen loses the war, it means that tianyumen can't control Nanzhou and doesn't control the strength of Nanzhou. No matter what tianyumen talks with the three factions before, they will face the clearance of the three factions. What do you want to play?

"And your majesty will not mistreat Yongping. The prince will be promoted to Prince, and the lower five counties of Nanzhou will be designated as the Lord's fief!"

After hearing this, Niu Youdao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There's really nothing I can do about it."

"Your Majesty said that Nanzhou would rather be with its own people than foreign thieves. If the king of Yongping County still hates what happened in that year, your majesty can make further concessions and designate the whole Nanzhou as the Lord's fief!"

This obviously means that as long as the emperor of the Shang Dynasty avoids war, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty doesn't have to fight. Nanzhou is also the emperor of the Shang Dynasty.

However, Niu Youdao recognized the sinister intention and slightly moved his eyebrows. "After talking for a long time, the Imperial Court seems to have not figured out the situation. It's not what you think."

Zhou qingduan leaned forward slightly. "I'd like to hear it in detail."

Niu Youdao: "Yongping County King has been controlled by tianyumen, and his military power has been isolated by tianyumen. Now Feng Lingbo can directly dispatch the people of the five counties."

Speaking of this, he now reflected why tianyumen didn't hesitate to start internal strife in the five counties in advance. Darqing had already prepared for some possibilities and wanted to put an end to possible future troubles. It can be seen that tianyumen really made plans to win Nanzhou.

"What?" Zhou Qing was surprised.

"How can this be possible?" gasiao said in a deep voice. "Even if Prince Yongping can't understand it, how can mengshanming easily separate the prince from the military power? How can Meng Shuai know the importance of military power?"

"This is already the case!" Niu Youdao nodded affirmatively. Naturally, he would not say that this was his suggestion. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!

Zhou Qing immediately looked worried.

Gai miaoshui also looks greatly changed. He knows that if this is the case, this war is inevitable. Considering the internal and external factors, tianyumen is indeed very likely to support Feng Lingbo.

Niu Youdao suddenly said, "if something happens to Prince Yongping, I'm not easy. I have a plan to discuss with you two. Maybe there's room for turning things around."

Guan Fangyi glanced at him and wondered what bad water this guy was going to take.

Zhou Qing lost his temper and hurriedly said, "please say!"

After some conspiracy between the two sides, gamiaoshui and imperial concubine Zhou didn't stay long and left in a hurry.

This is not nothing. At least I know the situation of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty and who the enemy leader is

All the disciples of Liuxian sect, Fuyun sect and Lingxiu mountain moved away on the same day.

Soon after the three factions left, Niu Youdao also led his people to disappear quietly in the mountains and forests

Where tianyumen is located, Mei Linsheng, Wu tiandang and Zhao Xingfeng hurried away from the established command center that has not yet moved forward. Escorted by tianyumen disciples, they secretly went to each department.

Peng then led a group of tianyumen senior managers out of the yard of the command center.

Walking on the steps of the mountain path, a disciple came quickly to report, "Princess Shang Shuqing and others, as well as the disciples of Liuxian sect, Fuyun sect and Lingxiu mountain are on their way."

"OK!" Peng stopped and turned to face the elders and said in a deep voice: "don't scare the snake for the time being. When others come, they don't care. As long as Niu Youdao arrives, he will secretly take all his men and others immediately! This boy is the most cunning and the most worried one in this house. Before the war, be sure to control him and don't let him change."

Everyone nodded slightly. As long as the overall situation is controlled, do you still need to talk about the benefits of wine and water with Niu Youdao? Take it down together and see how you talk.

Feng Entai's face was heavy and he let out a sigh of frustration.

However, when a group of people came to the main hall of the main palace, another disciple ran to report urgently: "report to the leader, Niu Youdao is gone!"

Before he could sit down, Peng was surprised again and angrily scolded, "gone? What do you mean?"

The disciple said, "the people staring at the villa suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no movement in the villa. Later, they touched it and looked at it. As a result, they found that the villa was empty and there was no shadow. Niu Youdao and his staff didn't know where they had gone and all disappeared."
