In the next few days, there was no movement from Tang San and his group.
The disputes among the various forces on the continent were temporarily stopped due to the destruction of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family.
During this period, many people speculated that the culprit for the destruction of the two major sects was the Spirit Hall. However, the civilians living near Tiandou City strongly refuted this view.
It was very simple. They did not find any traces of Spirit Hall soldiers during or after the incident. Of course, they were not speaking for Spirit Hall.
Once it is confirmed that the Spirit Hall’s army has appeared in the place where they have lived, they will be guilty of treason.
In the end, the people who discussed this matter were divided into three groups. One group believed that it was done by the Spirit Hall, and the other group believed that it was the hidden forces on the continent who took action.
Some even believe that the Canaan Chamber of Commerce benefited the most from the destruction of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and that it was the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect that they attacked. However, this argument does not hold water.
The Canaan Chamber of Commerce did not suffer a large-scale loss of personnel, and the top leaders of Canaan City were not injured. This did not fit the assumption that they attacked the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect! No matter how the people speculated, the Tiandou Empire officials had no intention of explaining.
The imperial palace in Tiandou City was still under martial law. Whether Xue Ye had passed away or not, the outside world had no way of knowing.
…
In Han Yu's office.
"Little monster, that night, I was guarding outside the city. Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo did not leave the city. The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who escaped with him are still in the city. I suspect that they are hiding somewhere in the city." Dugu Bo reported.
As the saying goes, hit the dog when it’s down. In the past, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect relied on its huge size to bully their Canaan Chamber of Commerce. Today, Dugu Bo wants to get all the debts back in one go.
Han Yu waved his hand, signaling him not to worry, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is no longer a force to be reckoned with, old monster, why do you have to kill them all?"
Dugu Bo said with a determined look: "Wildfires cannot be extinguished, and spring breezes will bring new growth. This kind of thing must be eradicated!"
After a pause, he looked at Han Yu with a strange expression: "Little monster, you are not a soft-hearted person. Since the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is no longer a force to be reckoned with, why don't we add fuel to the fire and make them completely a thing of the past?"
Han Yu shook his head, put down the feather pen in his hand, and said lightly: "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still has value in existence. Going to Ning Fengzhi now will undoubtedly point the finger of blame for the destruction of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect at us."
It was also thanks to Ning Fengzhi's reputation, otherwise he would know that he could not take revenge on the Spirit Hall and would turn his attention to Canaan City. Han Yu would then be very busy.
Dugu Bo didn't know Han Yu's next plan. If he didn't have any other arrangements, this would undoubtedly be the perfect time to completely destroy the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Although Ning Fengzhi and Gu Douluo were not dead, very few people on the continent knew that they were still alive. If they were killed in a hidden place, no one would be suspicious.
"Okay, little monster, I'm old, and my perspective on things is not as good as you young people's." Dugu Bo smiled casually and did not dwell on this matter too much.
Han Yu stood up and walked in front of him, smiling and said, "Old monster, the life span of a Titled Douluo is so long, and you still have black hair. Saying that you are old, aren't you underestimating yourself a bit?"
Dugu Bo said unhappily: "I am just expressing my feelings. What's wrong? I won't die of old age immediately."
After joking with each other for a while, Han Yu continued, "Old monster, keep an eye on your disciples these days. There may be a big change in Tiandou City, and our people should not get involved with it."
"I have to go out to do some work in the next two days. The safety of Canaan City is in your hands."
After this soul hunting operation, many hidden forces on the continent began to stir. Some people, after staying out of the world for a long time, will develop a desire for fame and fortune. Once these people come to the surface, a bloody storm is inevitable.
Dugu Bo is a high-ranking official in Canaan City after all. He has a very thorough understanding of the things happening on the mainland. "Little monster, there have been quite a few outsiders in the city recently. They seem to be scouting the city. Don't worry, I will handle the situation if there is any."
"Keep a close eye on them. We may be trying to gather intelligence from them. We are the biggest beneficiaries of the destruction of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Remember, we cannot give them any evidence."
…
At night, the palace of Tiandou Empire.
The night before the Soul Hunting Operation begins, Xue Qinghe will prepare a chronic poison and feed it to Xue Ye to drink.
That night, Xue Ye fell seriously ill and was in bed, and could die at any time.
The moment the Soul Hunting Operation began, countless Spirit Hall warriors who had been lurking in the Tiandou Empire for many years put on the armor of the Royal Knights and responded to Xue Qinghe's call to enter the palace.
The soul hunting operation was in progress, and Xue Qinghe did not want to intervene, let alone get caught in the vortex. He must have thought it through before attacking Xue Ye at this point in time.
Afterwards, Xue Qinghe invited all the famous doctors in the Tiandou Empire, but they were all helpless against Xue Ye's condition.
Xue Ye is now only breathing his last breath and may die at any time.
After Han Yu entered the palace, he met Xue Qinghe in a hidden room.
"Tang Yuehua recommended Tang San to treat Xue Ye. As you know, Eighth Priest, I cannot shirk this matter."
Han Yu nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this.
Xue Qinghe had a very good reputation in Tiandou City. If he rejected Tang Yuehua's proposal, he would inevitably be accused of regicide. Moreover, Xue Beng and Xue Xing were still in the palace. If someone with ulterior motives made a big fuss about this trivial matter, delaying his ascension to the throne would be a minor matter, but causing the plan to fail would be troublesome.
As for why Tang San came here, he was probably instructed by Ning Fengzhi. If they wanted to deal with the Spirit Hall, they would have to drag the Heaven Dou Empire into the water.
Listening to Han Yu's explanation, Xue Qinghe nodded seriously, "Roxxon, the leader of the Royal Knights, is only loyal to Xue Ye. I plan to let him fight Tang San, and it would be best if both sides were injured."
Han Yu smiled and said, "Tang San can't come here alone, there must be strong people around him. If they are from the Haotian Sect, it will be interesting."
He would definitely not show up in this matter. His purpose of coming here was to wait for the turmoil tomorrow, take the opportunity to sneak into the treasure house of the Tiandou Empire and take away the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
This treasure house itself is a huge soul guide. If you force your way in, the treasure house will make a huge noise. The key to open the treasure house is still in Xue Ye's hand. In addition, there are many assassins trained by Xue Ye in the treasure house. This is why Xue Qinghe is unwilling to take the risk of taking away the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
Once discovered by these assassins, Xue Qinghe will definitely be in trouble.
After tomorrow, Xue Ye will definitely die. Even if these assassins take the news out, no one will pay attention to them.
At the same time, in Shrek Academy, Tang San and others sat together to discuss the next countermeasures.
Han Yu's guess was correct. It was Ning Fengzhi who proposed to let Tang San enter the palace to treat Xue Ye.
At present, Ning Fengzhi is not convenient to show up. If he wants to tell Xue Qinghe about the murderer who destroyed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he can only rely on others.
Moreover, Tang San himself was a master of poison, so it was not difficult for him to find the source of Xue Ye's illness and treat it. He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pull the Heaven Dou Empire onto his chariot.
"Xiao San, this is the personal token of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and this is His Majesty's token. Take these two tokens into the palace, and the Royal Knights will not make things difficult for you." As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi handed the two tokens to Tang San.
If Ning Fengzhi wants to rebuild the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, his only hope is to place his trust in Xue Qinghe.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was destroyed, and the sect's treasury was naturally looted by the Spirit Hall. Now that he only had the gold soul coins left, it was simply unrealistic to rebuild the sect.
Moreover, after the Qibao Chamber of Commerce lost the protection of the Qibao Glazed Sect, it had already become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In just a few days, the Qibao Chamber of Commerce's assets were taken away.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
In the original time and space, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was quickly rebuilt after being attacked; Ning Fengzhi even had funds to support Tang San, which had a great relationship with the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce.
The Qibao Chamber of Commerce's ability to attract money is extraordinary; just half a year's revenue is enough to rebuild the devastated sect.
Now, after being hit by the Canaan Chamber of Commerce, the Qibao Chamber of Commerce has already given up 40% of its shares. Moreover, this has also laid the groundwork for the current division of the Qibao Chamber of Commerce.
The previous actions of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly showed the world that the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce was not invincible. Since the Canaan Chamber of Commerce could get a share of the pie, how could those big families hold back after seeing the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect being destroyed?
Ning Fengzhi knew that if there was no Canaan Chamber of Commerce, he would not be living in such a tight spot with the help of Qibao Chamber of Commerce. Now the only hope for a turnaround lies in his disciples.
After Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, it would not be difficult to take back the lost share of Qibao Chamber of Commerce with the power of Tiandou Empire. Therefore, he paid great attention to this matter. In the past few days, he told Tang San a lot of precautions.
"Master Ning, don't worry. With this old slave and the young master attacking, there will be no problem." Titan said.
Tang San shook his head upon hearing this, "Senior Tai Tan, you can't come with me to the palace. Now that Emperor Xue Ye is seriously ill, countless people in the Heaven Dou Empire are on edge. You have been famous in Heaven Dou City for a long time, and once you come to the palace, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about you, and even suspect that we are planning to assassinate Emperor Xue Ye."
"What Xiao San said makes sense, but Xiao San, have you ever thought about it? Without a strong person following you, what will you do if Prince Xuexing attacks you and Xue Qinghe ignores him?" Yu Xiaogang said seriously.
After all, their Shrek Academy and Prince Xuexing have irreconcilable conflicts. Xue Qinghe and Tang San don't have much relationship. If something goes wrong, pinning your hopes on others will undoubtedly put you in a passive position.
Moreover, the interest groups in the palace were complicated. Some people wanted Xue Ye to live, and naturally some people wanted Xue Ye to die. Tang San and others were bound to offend people without knowing the situation.
"Feng Zhi, how about we escort Tang San around the palace?" Gu Rong suggested.
Tang San refused and said, "No need, Senior Bone Douluo. Auntie has reported the matter to the Clear Sky Sect. Tomorrow I will go to the palace with the four elders of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Haotian Sect has been closed to the world for a long time, and no one will care about the identity of the Fourth Elder. If I can get Emperor Xue Ye out of danger, with Emperor Xue Ye's cover, we will be fine. But if I can't cure Emperor Xue Ye, with the Fourth Elder's strength, it won't be difficult to take me out of the palace."
"Xiao San, how confident are you that you can cure His Majesty?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.
Tang San thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Ning, I don't know what disease His Majesty has. If he died of old age, even if I have supernatural powers, it would be useless."
"Xiao San, His Majesty's health has been getting worse over the years, and the medicine hasn't helped. It's very likely that he was poisoned." Ning Fengzhi pondered and said, "If it's poisoning, the person who poisoned him must be someone closest to His Majesty, so you should be careful."
Ning Fengzhi already had a guess in his mind about the person who poisoned him.
The first one is Xue Qinghe. Xue Ye had already made him the crown prince. As long as Xue Ye died, he would undoubtedly inherit the throne. But it is not difficult to think that Xue Qinghe has already gained power, so there is no need for him to take the risk of poisoning Xue Ye.
As for Xue Xing and Xue Beng, they also had motives to poison. Over the years, Xue Xing and Xue Beng had already lost their power. If they dragged on, when Xue Qinghe completely controlled the court, they would have no chance to turn things around.
But if they take risky moves, they still have a chance to turn the tables.
No matter who poisoned him, Ning Fengzhi didn't want to have anything to do with Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe was his biggest investment, and nothing could happen to him.
Yu Xiaogang added: "No matter what, Xiao San must go this time. It is very difficult to deal with the Spirit Hall with only the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Haotian Sect. We must unite with the Tiandou Empire to have a chance."
As for the Xingluo Empire, the only one among them who had a connection with it was Dai Mubai, who was expelled from the Xingluo Empire. In any case, before his brothers grew up, he was not qualified to challenge Davis.
Yu Xiaogang was naturally anxious. By uniting the two empires and the two sects, such a lineup would have the greatest chance of winning against the Spirit Hall.
"Young Master, I'll wait for you outside the palace. One more person means less risk." Titan patted his chest and said.
This time, Tang San did not refuse.
His relationship with the Fourth Elder is just average, and it is still unknown whether the other party will abandon him at the critical moment.
"Xiao San, Uncle Gu and I will be waiting for you outside the palace with the Titan Chieftain." Ning Fengzhi assured quickly.
Outside the imperial palace, there happened to be property owned by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They could wait there without being exposed.
After explaining the business, Tang San hurriedly asked: "Uncle Ning, how is Rongrong?"
Ever since she learned that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed, Ning Rongrong has been crying all day long and even locked herself in her room for several days without eating or drinking.
Ning Rongrong is his companion, and as the spiritual leader of Shrek, Tang San feels it necessary to enlighten her.
Ning Fengzhi said weakly, "Hey~ Xiaosan, wait until you come back from the palace before going to see Rongrong. It would be better to let her calm down first."
