The grassland at night is full of stars, and the weak starlight cannot bring light to the surroundings.
Wang Gang stood on a hillside, looking at the coalition military camp in the distance, and couldn't help but sneer.
Of course Wang Gang knew about the ambitions of the Xiling Temple, otherwise he wouldn't have let Li Hunyuan admonish Li Zhongyi and play a trick that was both overt and underhanded.
The Xuanjia heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did leave Chang'an, but they did not come directly to the grassland. Instead, under the leadership of Xu Shi, the general of Zhenguo, they circled around the Tang Dynasty and ran wherever they were affected by the disaster.
Even if there was no natural disaster, Wang Gang helped him cause a heavy rain, mainly because the roads were muddy and the army could not pass.
As for Xiahou's Zhenbei Army, although the King of Tang gave the order, the Zhenbei Army has not moved. It seems that Xiahou intends to ignore the foreign military orders!
The most important thing for Li Zhongyi to mobilize the Northern Army was to test Xia Hou's loyalty.
For a long time, Xiahou had maintained his own dignity and had secret connections with the Xiling Temple. Li Zhongyi turned a blind eye because of Queen Xia's face.
If Xiahou ignored the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty and stood still, he would have touched Li Zhongyi's bottom line.
Therefore, Wang Gang guessed that Xiahou would definitely come to the grassland, whether it was because of the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty or for other purposes.
Wang Gang brought Ning Que to the grassland just to let him settle his grudge with Xiahou personally.
"Teacher." Ye Hongyu walked up behind Wang Gang at some point and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite." Wang Gang smiled and said, "You didn't attract anyone's attention when you came out!"
"No." Ye Hongyu said, "I made a big circle before coming here."
Wang Gang waved his right hand and pulled Ye Hongyu into his interior space.
The interior space is a world of its own, independent of the Haotian world. It is a world that belongs exclusively to Wang Gang and is not afraid of being monitored.
"Teacher, I finally found out that Zhishou Guan has collected five volumes of heavenly books except the Japanese scroll. It may be in the hands of a middle-aged Taoist. No one knows his name, but he may be the junior disciple of Chen, the master of the temple.
His strength is unfathomable." Ye Hongyu said to Wang Gang.
"The middle-aged Taoist usually stays in Zhishou Temple and rarely goes out. I have no chance to steal the Book of Heaven."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "There is no rush to steal the Book of Heaven. Can you find out whether the person who harmed you back then was Xiong Chumo?"
Ye Hongyu's face instantly darkened and he nodded silently.
"In that case, how do you plan to take revenge?" Wang Gang asked.
"Teacher, are you willing to help me?" Ye Hongyu stared at Wang Gang's face with burning eyes.
Wang Gang said: "If you can help me lure the middle-aged Taoist out of Zhishou Temple, I can help you to seal Xiong Chumo's cultivation. You should also want to kill him yourself!"
A flash of light flashed in Ye Hongyu's eyes, and he asked Wang Gang: "Teacher, there is something unclear about Hongyu?"
Wang Gang said calmly: "You want to ask me why I got the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book."
"If the teacher is in trouble, then I won't ask." Ye Hongyu said knowingly.
"It's okay to tell you." Wang Gang said: "Zhi Shou Guan's seven-volume heavenly book is the first generation of Guan Master gamblers, left behind as a means to restrict Haotian."
"Restrict Haotian?!" Ye Hongyu was shocked.
After Wang Gang told Ye Hongyu the origin of Haotian, he said: "The gambler used the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book to create Haotian. At the same time, he was also worried that Haotian would lose control, so he left a backup plan in the Heavenly Book.
If the descendants of Zhishou Guan feel that Haotian can no longer protect mankind, they can reopen the sky with seven volumes of heavenly books!"
Ye Hongyu never expected that the Seven Volume Heavenly Book had such terrifying power, and she never expected that Wang Gang would tell her.
Wang Gang said to Ye Hongyu: "Teacher, you have to teach and answer questions. Since I accept you as my disciple, I naturally have the responsibility to teach you."
Ye Hongyu was slightly moved. At first, she thought that Wang Gang was willing to accept her as his disciple because of the Taoist books and the Seven Heavenly Books of the Xiling Temple. They were not so much masters and disciples as collaborators with common interests.
"You don't have to think too much. Since I have accepted you, I will treat you as my successor." Wang Gang said to Ye Hongyu, "Unless you don't treat me as your master."
Ye Hongyu looked complicated and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Wang Gang continued: "I want to get the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book, not because I want to replace Haotian, but to prevent the Temple Master."
Ye Hongyu said in surprise: "The temple master wants to replace Haotian?"
"Not yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. I'm going to separate the Heavenly Books and store them in a hidden place, so as to stop the contemplative master's thoughts first."
"Hongyu will definitely help the teacher to complete this matter." Ye Hongyu said firmly.
"Do what you can, and remember not to expose yourself. Anyway, the clear text is in the hands of the academy, so there is no need to worry about the other heavenly books." Wang Gang warned.
Ye Hongyu felt warm in his heart and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I can hide under Xiong Chumo's nose until now, so I won't expose myself."
Wang Gang gave a few more instructions before sending Ye Hongyu back to the military camp.
Just as Ye Hongyu was about to take a rest, a knight from the Xiling Temple came over to tell Luo Kedi that he wanted to see her.
"If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Ye Hongyu said impatiently.
"Commander Luo has ordered that Mr. Ye must go there if it concerns the master." The knight of Xiling was confused.
Ye Hongyu said impatiently: "I know, you can go down!"
After the Xiling knights left, Ye Hongyu rushed to Luo Kedi's camp, and she walked in directly without passing the message.
"Luo Kedi, why did you call me over?" Ye Hongyu asked impolitely.
Luo Kedi felt unhappy, but he still said in a friendly manner: "I just received the Holy Edict from the Headmaster, and I invited Master Ye to come over just to read the Holy Edict."
"Holy edict, what are the instructions from the master?" Ye Hongyu asked with a low eyebrow.
Luo Kedi took out a bright yellow scroll and handed it to Ye Hongyu.
Ye Hongyu was not polite. When he opened it, his eyes widened the next moment.
"The master wants to find a way to lure Wang Gang away from Li Hunyuan?"
Ye Hongyu felt a panic in her heart, thinking that Xiong Chumo knew about her apprenticeship.
A burly man wearing armor and holding a spear walked out from behind Luo Kedi. When Ye Hongyu saw this man, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.??
"Xiahou?"
The burly man smiled softly and said: "I have heard the name of Taoist Madman for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved."
Ye Hongyu glanced around at the faces of Luo Kedi and Xiahou and asked, "What do you want, the headmaster?"
Xia Hou said in a deep voice: "Li Hunyuan, the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, violated the Holy Edict of the Xiling Temple in both positive and negative ways, and violated the will of Haotian. The temple will punish him."
Ye Hongyu frowned and said, "You want to kill Li Hunyuan, aren't you afraid of provoking a war between Xiling and Tang?"
Xia Hou said easily: "This time the coalition forces are attacking the Huangren. The battle is fierce and dangerous. Li Hunyuan brought Wang Gang and Ning Que here. It is normal for any accident to happen."
Ye Hongyu looked at Luo Kedi and said: "Wang Gang is the chief instructor of the academy and the prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. His strength is unfathomable. I have no ability to lure him away and give you a chance to assassinate Li Hunyuan."
Luo Kedi chuckled and said: "Don't be upset, Mr. Ye. Since the master asked you to lure Wang Gang away, you have naturally been prepared. The great priest Tianyu has long predicted that the scroll of the Mingzi of the Heavenly Book will appear at the Demon Sect Mountain Gate. This news,
I can definitely help you lure Wang Gang there."
"The Demon Sect's mountain gate is an unknown place. Who knows where it is?" Ye Hongyu was still unwilling. It's not like she didn't know that the scroll was in the academy.
Xiahou said confidently: "You don't need to worry about this, Secretary Ye. I, Xiahou, will tell you where the Demon Sect's mountain gate is?"
Ye Hongyu suddenly said: "I forgot, you, General Xiahou, are from the Demon Sect, so you naturally know where the mountain gate is?"
Xiahou's face became serious and he said: "Xiahou has long abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, returning to the embrace of Haotian. He is no longer a member of the Demon Sect, but a guest of the temple!"
