Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "But aren't you worried that Chu Xiaoyou might be dissatisfied afterward, since you've put him out there as a condition for your deal with Xie Xiaofeng?"
Gongzi Yu slowly said, "This world will belong to him in the future. I am only helping Brother Chu clear obstacles for his beloved. I think someone like Brother Chu wouldn't be so petty."
Upon hearing Gongzi Yu's words, Bai Xiaosheng's pupils narrowed slightly for a moment.
The chess piece in his hand, which was falling towards the chessboard, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
A few breaths later, as Bai Xiaosheng placed his piece, he spoke up: "Is it worth it for you to hand over the world that you've worked so hard to obtain?"
In response to Bai Xiaosheng's question, Gongzi Yu said in a gentle voice, "Originally, given my physical condition, after dealing with Zhu Wushi, killing Xie Xiaofeng with the 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique,' and destroying the Divine Sword Manor, I might not have been able to make it to the capital."
"Now that the Azure Dragon Society can stand openly in the world and stay on the dragon throne for half a year to put an end to its original obsession, it is already a win."
"Not to mention, you can get a new body later and live a healthy and carefree life. How could it not be worth it?"
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Xiaosheng focused his gaze on Gongzi Yu's recovered face. After pondering for a while, he nodded and shook his head, saying, "It seems that I was being too greedy."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "However, you left so freely, but you dragged me and Bai Xiaoge down with you."
Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "The world has already changed hands. No matter who sits on the throne, whether it's Shuimu Yinji or Yaoyue, with Brother Chu strategizing behind the scenes, it's only a matter of time before Baixiaoge falls into his hands."
"As for the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, at most, it's just the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion of the Great Ming Dynasty that's being sacrificed."
Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly but said nothing.
Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone an old fox like Bai Xiaosheng.
Regardless of who ultimately controls the Ming Dynasty, for Bai Xiaosheng and even Bai Xiaoge, the worst-case scenario is simply moving to a different place.
In ancient times, roads were divided into official roads and side roads.
Compared to the narrow paths, the so-called official roads were simply roads where weeds were cleared and paved with stones and mud. They didn't have large potholes, so they weren't muddy and difficult for carriages and horses to pass through on rainy days.
However, compared to the official roads in the Ming Dynasty, the official roads in the Song Dynasty were much more dilapidated, with some places still being potholed and uneven.
If the carriage is poorly made, it might crack after a long period of use.
Even with Chu Qinghe's specially crafted carriage equipped with shock absorbers, the vibrations were still quite noticeable when traveling on the official road.
On the official road fifty miles away from Wangbei Lake in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, as the carriage wheels rolled quickly over the stones on the road, Lianxing looked out through the curtains of the carriage. After turning her gaze away from the patched clothes of the people walking on both sides of the road, she said slowly, "It is said that merchants are prosperous in the Great Song Dynasty and the country is wealthy, but from what I have seen along the way, the people of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be poorer than the people of the Great Ming Dynasty."
Hearing Lianxing's question, Shuimu Yinji, who was sitting in the carriage, replied: "Among the five kingdoms, the Great Song Kingdom is the weakest. The reason why it is still alive and well is not only because the other four kingdoms are afraid of other kingdoms and dare not make wars at will, but also because the Great Song Kingdom pays corresponding tribute to the other four kingdoms every year."
"Although merchants are prosperous in the Song Dynasty, the annual tribute paid to the other four countries is already a huge amount. In addition, corrupt officials in the court are constantly accumulating wealth, so you can imagine how miserable the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty are. Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, and even Yuan Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty are much more miserable. Therefore, there are a great number of bandits and outlaws in the Song Dynasty."
As soon as the voice came out, Lin Shiyin outside the carriage sighed, "It clearly occupies the most prosperous and convenient location in the center, yet because of the current rulers, the people are living such miserable lives. It seems that the Song Dynasty's court is rotten to the core."
A moment later, Qu Feiyan outside the carriage said, "Anyway, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a foolish ruler. Since you have already taken the throne of the Great Ming Dynasty, why not take over the world of the Great Song Dynasty as well? That way, Sister Yue and Sister Dongfang can each have one."
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Shuimu Yinji looked even more intently at Chu Qinghe.
The way her beautiful eyes flickered made it seem as if Shui Mu Yin Ji would believe without hesitation if Chu Qinghe could bring down the emperors of the five kingdoms and make them emperors.
Chu Qinghe retorted irritably, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not that easy."
After all, the main reason why things have developed to this point in the Ming Dynasty is the schemes of the Azure Dragon Society.
Chu Qinghe was merely secretly arranging a scheme to use someone else's resources to his advantage.
If Chu Qinghe were to plan all of this himself, there would be far too much to do.
While the martial arts world in the Song Dynasty was in decline, many things remained unclear.
Even now, the Great Yuan Kingdom is still eyeing us covetously. If Pang Ban and other martial artists from the Great Yuan Kingdom were to attack the Northern Shaolin Temple, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty would become even more complicated. Once the Northern Shaolin Temple is destroyed, the Great Song Dynasty, hmm?
However, the more Chu Qinghe thought about it, the more something felt off.
"It seems like this isn't a bad idea after all?"
The Song Dynasty court is now corrupt, with treacherous officials in power throughout the court.
The fact that we've been able to hold on until now is entirely due to the support of the Northern Shaolin Temple.
