Chapter 556 Seeking to Meet Jia Xu, the Poison Master
Yao Guangxiao's words were full of temptation. For a martial arts sect like the Medicine King Sect, strength and status are equally important.
The Cangzhou Army was the best choice for them to enhance their strength and consolidate their position.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhuling remained silent for a long time.
"Mr. Yao, your words have indeed touched my heart."
"But this matter is of great importance, and I need time to consider it and also to discuss it with the elders of the sect."
He looked up at Yao Guangxiao, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
"Sect Master Yao, I will give you time to consider. But please remember, the situation waits for no one, and opportunities are fleeting."
"The gates of the Cangzhou Army will always be open to the Medicine King Sect, but if we miss this opportunity, we may never be so sincere again."
Yao Guangxiao nodded, indicating his understanding.
After speaking, Yao Guangxiao turned around and walked back to his seat, picked up his prayer beads again, and closed his eyes to rest.
Wu Wudi stood to the side, not uttering a word, but his sharp eyes were constantly observing the reactions of Yao Zhuling and the higher-ups of the Medicine King Sect.
Yao Guangxiao's words hit the nail on the head; now it's up to the Medicine King Sect to decide what to do.
Silence fell over the hall once again. Yao Zhuling and the high-ranking members of the Medicine King Sect lowered their heads in deep thought, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
"Mr. Yao, Master Wu, please wait a moment."
"Our Medicine King Sect will seriously consider the suggestions you two have made and give a reply as soon as possible."
Finally, Yao Zhuling raised her head and looked firmly at Yao Guangxiao and Wu Wudi.
"Sect Master Yao, we await good news and hope that the Medicine King Sect will make a wise choice."
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and nodded.
But they felt relieved. The fact that they were still willing to consider it and even left them behind meant that they had already made their decision.
After saying this, Yao Guangxiao stood up and took Wu Wudi's leave, leading everyone out of the Medicine King Sect's council hall.
Meanwhile, Yao Zhuling and the high-ranking members of the Medicine King Sect remained in the hall to discuss the future of the sect.
As he walked out of the hall, Yao Guangxiao glanced back at the exquisite pavilion and secretly rejoiced.
Although today's negotiations have not yet achieved their ultimate goal, they have taken a crucial step.
The Medicine King Sect has softened its stance, so things will be much simpler from here on out.
Wu Wudi followed silently behind Yao Guangxiao.
Anyway, when it comes to brains, even ten of them tied together wouldn't be a match for Yao Guangxiao.
Furthermore, as one of the few sage-level strategists of his time, Yao Guangxiao was well-versed in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Wu Wudi wouldn't believe it if he didn't possess some profound skills derived from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Therefore, in terms of martial prowess, don't be fooled by the fact that Wu Wudi seems capable of killing Yao Guangxiao with a single punch.
But if a real fight breaks out, given Yao Guangxiao some time, the various small formations from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism would be enough to give Wu Wudi a hard time.
Yao Guangxiao has performed admirably in today's negotiations; now it remains to be seen how the Medicine King Sect will respond.
"Sir, shall we proceed to Tianqian Pass to meet His Highness?"
Wu Wudi's voice rang out, and he turned to look at Yao Guangxiao with a question in his eyes.
However, Yao Guangxiao gently shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"No rush, Wu Shangshang."
"Before I meet Your Highness, I have a great gift to prepare."
Yao Guangxiao's unhurried voice rang out, his prayer beads turning gently in his hand, his eyes lowered.
Upon hearing this, Wu Wudi frowned slightly, but then relaxed. Yao Guangxiao was always unpredictable and must have a deeper meaning.
With nothing else to do, he could only silently follow behind Yao Guangxiao. The group left the Medicine King Sect and headed towards a secret stronghold in Hengzhou City.
Within Hengzhou City, prosperity and undercurrents coexist.
Yao Guangxiao and his group walked through the bustling streets and finally arrived at a seemingly ordinary house.
This is the hiding place of Jia Xu, who came to Hengzhou to continue to take charge of the overall situation after the Qian Yuan County operation ended. It is also an important stronghold of the entire Luo Wang in Hengzhou.
Jia Xu, the slacker known as the "poisonous strategist," has now been captured by Su Ye and used as a laborer, being made to work himself to the bone.
He has become an important pawn for Su Ye in Hengzhou, and currently holds the lifelines of many Luo Wang assassins and intelligence personnel in Hengzhou. He is a key figure in Yao Guangxiao's operation.
"Brother Wenhe, it's been a long time."
Yao Guangxiao's voice was gentle and deep, like a long-awaited spring breeze brushing across a tranquil lake, carrying a subtle warmth.
He stepped into the mansion hidden behind the bustling city with a smile, his steps light and graceful.
Inside the courtyard, ancient trees reach for the sky, and stone paths meander, creating a tranquil and elegant scene that is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, as if it were two different worlds.
Upon hearing the sound, Jia Xu hurriedly stepped out of his study, his face showing displeasure.
"Brother Si Dao has finally arrived! I've been waiting for so long!"
Jia Xu's words carried a mix of jest and sincerity. He quickly stepped forward, shook hands with Yao Guangxiao, and their eyes met, both seeing the disdain in each other's eyes.
"Who wants to see a cursed poisoner like you!" *2
"Brother Wenhe, how have you been lately? Thanks to your strategic planning, we were able to handle the Hengzhou matter so smoothly."
As Yao Guangxiao spoke, he followed Jia Xu into the study. The study was simply yet elegantly furnished, with bookshelves filled with various classics and several unfinished documents scattered on the desk. A faint scent of ink permeated the air.
"You flatter me. Without the overall planning of Wenruo and Fengxiao, how could my small-scale operations have achieved anything significant?"
"In the end, it is the exceptional wisdom and strategy of the lord's men that is truly admirable."
Jia Xu chuckled, shook his head, and didn't bow. His teammates were just too awesome, and he was helpless.
The two sat down, and a maid served fragrant tea. The aroma of the tea rose gently, adding a touch of elegance to the tranquil space.
"Brother Wenhe, besides catching up, I also have something to discuss with you."
"You've already heard about the Medicine King Sect's affairs. Next, we need to devise a plan to give them a boost."
Yao Guangxiao gently picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then slowly put it down, his gaze becoming profound.
"I have indeed been paying attention to the movements of the Medicine King Sect. If they can truly join forces with us, it will undoubtedly be a great help to Your Highness's great cause."
"However, that old fox Yao Zhuling probably won't make a decision easily."
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu's expression hardened, but he quickly regained his composure.
"That's why we need to work together."
"Daoyan has already made a plan. As long as Brother Wenhe cooperates, I believe we will see results soon."
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, a profound meaning flashing in his eyes.
"Since Si Dao already has a plan, Xu will naturally cooperate fully."
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu had some questions, but seeing Yao Guangxiao's confidence, he didn't ask any more and simply nodded.
So he dismissed his attendants, leaving only a few trusted confidants, and quietly waited for Yao Guangxiao to continue.
