In front of him, on the first day he was on duty after seeing Niu Youdao, the formation gate was opened, and the Fox clan immediately contacted him, which clearly demonstrated the role of the fire.
He set fire to him, went out, contacted him, and convinced him to join in the conspiracy.
Taking advantage of the situation, he went into Wuliang Garden with Ding Wei to meet him, and had another additional consultation with him openly under the supervision of Wuliang Garden.
Coupled with the effect in front of him, he realized that Niu Youdao had put a lot of thought into that fire.
It can be seen that Niu Youdao worked hard to steal the Wuliang Fruit, and he secretly murmured in his heart.
He was trapped in Wuliang Garden and didn't know the situation outside. Otherwise, you would know why Niu Youdao chose this time to set fire.
In short, the more he can feel Niu Youdao's intentions, the more he can feel at peace with his anxious heart. After all, this is not an ordinary job. If something goes wrong, he will lose his head and his life.
"Yes!" Wei Ye nodded and sighed with emotion.
With the beetle in hand, Ao Feng did not dare to check it at this time. He stayed up until the next morning after changing shifts with his next family and returned to his place of residence, then he took out the beetle trapped in his sleeve.
Looking at the head and tail of the beetle, I don't know how the things in the beetle's abdomen were put in. The only possibility is that they were put in from the tail.
He cast a spell to carefully force the contents out of the beetle's body, trying not to harm the beetle's life, and worried that the beetle could also send messages back.
However, as soon as the contents of the beetle's body were forced out, the kicking beetle quickly stopped moving and died, so he had no choice but to give up.
A small roll of sealed paper, cleaned and spread out, has densely packed small writing on it.
The content is to let him establish contact with the Fox Clan and let him send a message to the Fox Clan to inform the Fox Clan of the exact time of his shift.
When delivering a message, he only needs to hide the message in an inconspicuous object and find a way to throw it out, and the Fox Clan will send someone to pick it up at the door.
The pickup time is at night to avoid being discovered.
Of course, he still needs his cooperation. The Fox Clan will come to pick up the things at the exact time he specifies. Therefore, within this exact time, he, Ao Feng, must divert the attention of the other guard at the door.
After reading the contents of the letter, Ao Feng destroyed both the secret letter and the beetle. He took a long breath in the room and muttered to himself: "It will be eight days later..."
…
In the study room of Yaohu Department, Niu Youdao, who had just returned, walked behind the case and sat down. He took out the letter in his sleeve and looked at it again.
This was the second time he checked it. He read it once when he got the letter outside. After reading it again, he leaned back in his chair silently, looked up at the roof and sighed softly.
The letter was a handwritten letter from Yuan Gang forwarded from Sha Tulai. As usual, he gave a briefing on the situation collected by the outside world.
The reason why the content of the briefing made him sigh was because it mentioned that the princess Shang Shuqing was getting married to a man named Fu Junlan.
This Fu Junlan has some connection with merchants. His family was originally a large family in Yanjing. He had contacts with Prince Ning Shang Jianbo in his early years. After the decline of Prince Ning's palace, the Fu family was implicated and therefore ruined. After the rise of the Shang Dynasty in Nanzhou, the Fu family defected.
Nanzhou, considering its past friendship, got some support from the Shang Chaozong and regained some modest production.
Fu Junlan met Shang Shuqing at Prince Ning's Mansion when she was a child. They played together as children and knew what Shang Shuqing looked like.
Due to the decline of his family and the harsh world, Fu Junlan has never been married, so he and Shang Shuqing are connected by the same fate. No one thought that the two would have a chance to get together after many years, and that Shang Shuqing would see him in a new light. The relationship between the two
It can be regarded as a blessing of marriage.
Shang Chaozong was cautious about this matter. Family support belongs to the family, and marrying a sister should marry a sister. He sent people to investigate Fu Junlan's details over the years and agreed after confirming that he was worry-free. Now Shang Shuqing and Fu Junlan are trying to get in touch.
After both parties confirm, the families of both parties will implement the marriage.
I don’t know what Yuan Gang meant. In a briefing, Shang Shuqing’s story accounted for most of it.
Niu Youdao understood what Yuan Gang meant. Niu Youdao knew that in Yuan Gang's eyes, Shang Shuqing was a good girl. Niu Youdao also knew that in Yuan Gang's eyes, the quality of a woman was never measured by her appearance.
In fact, everyone in Maolu Villa was not blind, and they all saw that Shang Shuqing was interested in him. Yuan Gang's detailed description may not have meant to persuade him to consider it.
There is nothing about his relationship with Yuan Gang that cannot be said directly. The reason why Yuan Gang did not persuade him directly was because he knew his past.
To elaborate in such detail may not mean that he wants to let go of the past and start over.
Whether he can let go of the past or not is his own business. He will take charge of it himself and no one else has to worry about it.
He is not stupid, he also knows Shang Shuqing's feelings for him, and he also knows that besides her appearance, that woman Shang Shuqing is really good.
Does he care about appearance? I can't say that he doesn't care at all, but he does care to some extent.
But the reason why he couldn't accept it had nothing to do with his appearance. Ever since he was dragged into this muddy water by Yuan Gang and Shang Shuqing, he had embarked on an involuntary path.
It may be a bit hypocritical to say that he is afraid of harming Shang Shuqing, but it is indeed the case. His current situation is always on the verge of life and death. No matter who he falls in love with, he will harm the other person. No matter which woman he establishes a relationship with, he will be harmed.
Anyone who doesn't succeed in his attack will try their best to attack that woman. Not to mention others, which one of Ding Wei and Xuan Yao will let go of the opportunity to seize him? Not only will they harm the woman, but they will also involve a lot of protection.
That woman's person.
Staying away from Shang Shuqing and keeping some distance is indeed protecting Shang Shuqing to a certain extent. There is no way, this is his current situation.
Of course, excluding these reasons, he would not accept Shang Shuqing. For no other reason, he has no love for Shang Shuqing between men and women. He would not marry any woman just because he thought she was good, nor would he marry because he was moved or anything like that.
There is no love between men and women, and he has always been rational.
He couldn't force himself on this kind of thing just because of other people's attitudes. Besides, no one would force him.
No one forced it to show that even in the eyes of others, they felt that the two of them were inappropriate.
He sighed because after all, he had been served by Shang Shuqing for so many years. He sighed that Shang Shuqing's life was ruined by that face. He didn't understand why Ning Wang Shang Jianbo wanted his daughter to turn into a "ghost face". Zhao Xiongge
If it's unclear, there must be something hidden in it.
There are some issues that I can’t figure out for the time being, so I won’t think about them too much for the time being.
He took out the paper on the case and wrote two letters, one to Sha Rulai, asking Sha Rulai to help check Fu Junlan's background, as he was worried that Shang Chaozong's investigative capabilities were limited.
He hoped that Shang Shuqing could marry into a good family and be happy, and did not want such a good woman to end up in misfortune.
It's not just because of Shang Shuqing's personal reasons. Shang Shuqing's marriage is by no means a trivial matter for the entire Shang Dynasty. Once someone with evil intentions intervenes and uses it, the consequences will be disastrous, so we have to be cautious.
Another letter was written in reply to Yuan Gang, asking him to help prepare a generous gift for Shang Shuqing if she can marry smoothly.
Just as he finished writing the two letters, Qin Guan knocked on the door, "Elder, there are distinguished guests coming to the door."
Niu Youdao asked casually, "Who?"
Qin Guan: "The master and his wife of the Ice and Snow Pavilion are here to pay their respects."
Chuan Ying and Xue Luo'er? Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, what were those two people doing here? He immediately collected the letter and put it in his sleeves, and quickly stood up and left.
When they came outside, Xue Luo'er and Chuan Ying were already waiting in the courtyard. They were a beautiful couple, the man had a beautiful jade tree and the woman was beautiful, but her belly was quite big.
"I've met the Pavilion Master, I've met Brother Chuan." Niu Youdao hurried over to greet him.
Chuanying's attitude was cordial and warm. She stepped forward and touched Niu Youdao's arm. She laughed heartily and said, "Brother Niu, I've taken the liberty to come to visit. I'm interrupting you rudely."
Xue Luo'er had a friendly smile on her face, but she was a little reserved. After all, relatively speaking, she still looked down upon Niu Youdao's status. If it weren't for her husband, how could Jiang Guiyuzun come to visit a mere sect in person?
's elders.
"Don't disturb, don't disturb. You two are distinguished guests that I can't even invite. Please come inside, please come inside." Niu Youdao invited them repeatedly, invited them to sit down in the living room, and gave up the main seat for them to sit.
.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie quickly served tea to the guests. To them, the owners of the Bingxue Pavilion and his wife were also considered important people. They were honored that Elder Niu had such important friends.
There was a lot of politeness in the living room. During the conversation, Xue Luo'er occasionally spoke up and asked how Niu Youdao was doing here. If there were any difficulties, she would help.
Niu Youdao kept saying that he would definitely ask for help if he had any difficulties, but he didn't mention the specific difficulties.
Because he knows very well that this is not the past, when Xue Luo'er's words can solve the problem. In today's situation, sometimes even Ding Wei and his like are helpless, and Xue Luo'er's words have no effect at all. It really involves Zheng'er in the Holy Land
In the struggle of the Eight Classics, who will take Xue Luoer's words seriously? Who dares?
After talking about the couple's temporary departure from the Holy Land to return to the Ice and Snow Pavilion, Chuanying asked proactively: "Brother Niu, we are just about to go out. Do you have a letter that you want me to help deliver to friends outside?"
Niu Youdao thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."
Chuan Ying: "No one? Do you want a reply from Linghu Qiu?"
Niu Youdao chuckled and said: "Forget it, I don't get along with the Jin State, so it's better not to implicate him. There's no point in replying with polite words."
No matter how enthusiastic, generous and willing Chuanying was to help, Niu Youdao declined them all.
The couple stayed for a while and then left.
Niu Youdao, who was seeing the guests off to the door, kept waving to greet the guests and walked away slowly. When he put his hands down, his brows furrowed slightly again, as if he was thinking about something.
…
In the Holy Land of Heavenly Demon, inside the Demonic Palace that was built by carving out a huge mountain, there was darkness and the sound of tinkling bells continued.
A tall man with thick eyebrows and strong arms, he was hammering and carving wall sculptures. He looked like a craftsman, but in fact he was Wu Chang, one of the Nine Saints in the World.
Elder Heishi finished reporting the situation, and the sound of digging stopped.
Wu Chang faced the wall sculpture and said slowly: "He refused all help?"
Heishi leaned forward and said, "I didn't explicitly refuse, but at least I declined politely."
Wu Chang: "It seems that he still doesn't trust me. There are various signs that the saint's belongings are likely to be in Zhao Xiongge. He has a close relationship with Zhao Xiongge. No matter what method you use, you must gain his trust."
