Chapter 225 The Storm Is Rising

With Pei Xuanjing's current power, if Wang Qiong does not want to fight against him, then he will definitely have a chance to destroy Shenxiao like he did in the past, but after that, he will also pay a huge price and fail in this struggle.

Waiting for Yang Tinghe to win and supporting the young emperor to take the throne to control the government, they will inevitably be suppressed and driven out of the court, and Wang Qiong's efforts for decades will inevitably go to waste, and there will be no possibility of any display.

Moreover, this is the outcome when the Prime Minister Yang Tinghe, after learning that Wang Qiong's side has taken action, has made up his mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and does not cooperate with Pei Xuanjing.

If the other party is more vicious and the two sides join forces, the consequences will be even worse.

Of course, if Pei Xuanjing knew this sentence, he would definitely laugh to death.

After all, this is a speculation made by Gu Ji when he is not clear about how powerful the forces behind Pei Xuanjing are.

If he knew the forces that Pei Xuanjing really allied with, he would never have this idea.

The forces gathered by Pei Xuanjing now have far exceeded their expectations, and they are simply unable to resist.

"Alas!" Wang Qiong sighed deeply. How could he not know the result?

He was just threatened by Pei Xuanjing, a junior, and he was so angry that he couldn't accept it for a while.

"What do you think I should do?" He asked Gu Ji: "Should I cooperate with the other party?"

Gu Ji asked back: "It depends on whether the old man can put aside his prejudice with the Prime Minister."

At this point, it is obviously impossible to have the best of both worlds.

What they need to do is to make the choice that best suits their interests.

Wang Qiong's mouth showed a message: "It seems that you have a good impression of your old friend?"

Although he didn't say it clearly, Gu Ji had already revealed his attitude.

"Yes!" Gu Ji did not hide his inclination. After all, Wang Qiong was not unaware of his friendship with Pei Xuanjing.

He thought that compared with Yang Tinghe, at least Pei Xuanjing could get along.

Wang Qiong pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have a friendship with him, you should have more exchanges sometimes to see if you can resolve the original 'misunderstanding'."

Gu Ji understood what Wang Qiong said, smiled and nodded, and said: "I'll take note of it."

"By the way." Wang Qiong said intentionally or unintentionally when Gu Ji was about to leave: "I heard that he is now staying in Baiyun Temple."

Baiyun Temple!

Gu Ji's face changed slightly, and he immediately thought of many possibilities.

At their point, every word and action has a great meaning. Being pointed out by Wang Qiong specifically, it means that Baiyun Temple, which has been low-key for hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has joined forces with Pei Xuanjing.

Even if this Baiyun Temple has been extremely low-key for hundreds of years, no one will underestimate this powerful force that commanded the Taoist sect in the previous dynasty.

If we use an analogy, then the power of Baiyun Temple in the previous dynasty is almost the same as that of the Zhenwu Sect and the Ming Dynasty royal family today, or even more!

"I understand. I will go to see him tomorrow." Gu Ji's face showed a serious expression.

On the outskirts of the city, Baiyun Temple.

Pei Xuanjing moved in here with Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong two days ago.

He was very low-key, but he did not hide his whereabouts.

It can be said that from the moment Pei Xuanjing stepped into Baiyun Temple, everyone in Tiandu City who should know about it had already known about his arrival.

He became famous in Tiandu at the beginning, and then he and Xuanfu killed Jinyiwei Commander Qian Ning and left in style. He killed King Ning, destroyed Wuji Pavilion, fought against Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, killed Qisha Sword Master, killed Fengdu Ghost Emperor with a sword, and so on. Pei Xuanjing now has a great reputation in the world, and his every move has attracted the attention of countless people.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, all the news of Pei Xuanjing's rise along the way was passed to the ears of these "big men" in Tiandu.

For the arrival of such a powerful person with unfathomable strength and a great grudge with the Ming Dynasty, no matter which side they are from, they have to be cautious.

Even the major forces in the martial arts world can't help but secretly doubt, and are calculating the purpose of Pei Xuanjing's visit.

However, at this moment, Pei Xuanjing is completely indifferent to those external things. Beside a stream in the back mountain of Baiyun Temple, he is fishing with a fishing rod under his feet, lying on a recliner, playing with a page of the underworld book that is neither gold nor jade, and looks very uncomfortable.

For Pei Xuanjing, the layout has been laid, so the next thing is to wait for the bait to be hooked, and he doesn't need to do anything at all.

It is better to use this time to read the martial arts skills and accumulate Dao rhyme for himself, in order to start the next life simulation.

After all, the last life simulation has helped him condense his soul, so what rewards will he get in the next life simulation, which makes Pei Xuanjing look forward to it.

"We are working hard outside, but you are so relaxed like a boss who doesn't care about anything. We are so envious of you!"

A teasing voice came from a distance.

Pei Xuanjing replied without raising his head: "You are all capable people, please do more work. I am an idle person who doesn't know much, why should I bother you?"

With Pei Xuanjing's current sharpness, he knew that Bai Xiaosheng and Xuanming Taoist appeared a hundred feet away.

Bai Xiaosheng and Xuanming Taoist sat down on the recliner next to Pei Xuanjing with smiles on their faces.

Taoist Xuanming: "Fellow Taoist, you are too modest. If it weren't for your existence, we wouldn't have gotten in touch with the Minister of War so quickly."

"Haha." Pei Xuanjing chuckled: "So it seems that Lord Shangshu has made a decision?"

Bai Xiaosheng said calmly: "Brother Pei, do you think he has other choices?"

Based on the current situation, Wang Qiong and Yang Tinghe have completely broken up with each other and are on the same level. How could Wang Qiong and Yang Tinghe put aside their differences and cooperate again.

Even if you take a step back, even if Wang Qiong is willing to tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation, is Yang Tinghe willing to believe Wang Qiong?

When it comes to Conglong, it has always been a matter of failure or death, and there is no room for both ends.

Will Yang Tinghe believe that Wang Qiong will really admit defeat?

I'm afraid not!

Just as Wang Qiong didn't think Yang Tinghe would hold back on him.

Therefore, after Pei Xuanjing proposed this condition, the other party would not choose to reject it immediately no matter what.

If necessary, he would not easily push Pei Xuanjing's side to Yang Tinghe's side.

Taoist Xuanming on the side took out a greeting card from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Xuanjing, saying, "This is a greeting card from the left deputy censor of the capital. He said that he will come to see the Taoist friend in person tomorrow."

Pei Xuanjing took the invitation and looked at all the fonts on it, with a smile on his face: "In that case, let me meet this old friend!"
