Lan Ruoting slowly approached the vegetable field and stood on the ridge next to the vegetable field. He looked at Shang Shuqing who was communicating with the vegetable gardening monk, and even started to do it himself, as if he was learning to grow vegetables.
Shang Shuqing soon discovered him, walked out of the vegetable field, met him and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Lan?"
"I just received another summons from Master Dao." Lan Ruoting smiled and took out a secret document from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Shang Shuqing received it and couldn't wait to open it and check it out.
Lan Ruoting's eyes flickered, as if he was carefully observing Shang Shuqing's reaction.
Shang Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief after reading the confidential documents. Niu Youdao asked her to arrange a point in Yanjing to secretly communicate with Chen Guishuo.
With this arrangement, she felt relieved, which meant that Niu Youdao had not yet thought about leaving here completely.
When she looked up, she found that Lan Ruoting was looking at her a little strangely, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what are you looking at?" She raised her hand and touched her face, thinking she had just gotten something dirty in the vegetable field.
Lan Ruoting said hurriedly: "It's nothing, it's just a little strange to see the princess learning to grow vegetables."
Shang Shuqing smiled sweetly, although it was a bit ugly, "I found that the vegetables they grew seemed to grow better than those outside, so I asked for advice."
"Oh, that's it!" Lan Ruoting nodded happily.
In a mountain forest far away from the capital city of Jinzhou, Niu Youdao and Yuanfang put down the baskets they carried on their shoulders and took out swords and packages from the items piled in the baskets. They were both dressed as farmers and quickly changed their clothes.
Not far away, someone was waiting with two horses. The two took their things and walked over. After confirming their identities with the horseman, they both turned over and rushed out of the forest.
As for the alliance between Shang Chaozong and Hai Ruyue, the forces behind both sides have agreed. People from Tianyumen and Wandong Tianfu have agreed to meet. As soon as the matter was finalized, Niu Youdao also left immediately, preparing to fulfill the promise.
What happened to Hai Ruyue?
After running up a hill, the two of them stopped one after another, turned their horses and looked at the huge city in the distance.
"Master Tao, do you really want to help that woman ask for the Red Sun Fruit?" Yuan Fang tried to ask.
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Xiong, in your eyes, am I someone who doesn't keep his word?"
"No, no, no, Master Dao, that's not what I meant." Yuan Fang scratched his face and laughed dryly: "I just don't think it's necessary. Everything has been settled with her. It doesn't matter whether we find the Red Sun Fruit or not.
Besides, if she doesn’t even want something, we’re afraid we’ll be in trouble.” The implication is that there’s no need to go all the way.
Niu Youdao: "Whether you can get it is one thing, whether you want to get it or not is another matter. Once a war breaks out in Qingshan County, the prince seems to have a good chance of winning, but everything has variables. Who can say the final result?
Ding, I know nothing about fighting. Since you are following me, I have to be responsible for you, and I have to prepare a way out for you."
Yuan Fang thought thoughtfully and understood what he meant. Master Dao had already regarded Jinzhou as a retreat, and suddenly he was surprised and said: "Master Dao, if there is a war in Qingshan County, the people in my temple will not be in danger, right?"
Niu Youdao: "I said, if you follow me, I will be responsible. Don't worry, I have made arrangements. As long as they stay in the villa, nothing will happen. If something happens, have you forgotten the secret passage under the villa?
?Someone will arrange for their evacuation."
"Oh!" Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief, and noticed something from Niu Youdao's behavior of using Jinzhou as a retreat. Daoye did not intend to hang himself on the tree of Shang Chaozong, so he tried again.
He said, "Master Tao, in fact, we don't need to get involved in right and wrong. It's better to just leave and forget about it. We don't rely on any side and are at ease."
Niu Youdao: "Do you think I don't want to? If you can really give up building that ruined temple, everything will be easy to talk about. If it doesn't work, let's just hide... The monkey has blood in his heart, and he will always talk about doing meaningful things.
Unless he is never allowed to see people, sooner or later he will cause trouble and get involved in right and wrong. I can't let him never have contact with other people, right? In this world, his character cannot live in seclusion forever.
Isn’t it fun that you, a bear demon, don’t act as a good demon but become a bad host and insist on revitalizing Nanshan Temple?”
Yuan Fang said weakly: "It has nothing to do with fun. I promised the old host before he died."
Niu Youdao sneered: "Well, you want to revitalize Nanshan Temple. Once the temple is built, can you survive in these troubled times with your strength? Do you believe it or not? You really want to build a big temple.
If you can't survive for even one year, you will close down! If you all don't have the strength to support you, you are all nonsense and seeking death! Each of you must be yourself and stick to your own beliefs. I can
What should I do? Someone must be wronged, right?"
Yuanfang seemed to have some realization, "Master Tao, then we might as well find someone powerful to join him."
"You can be worry-free by finding a strong person to join you. Who do you think can support a man who is idle? At what height can you climb to see what kind of scenery? You can reap melons only by sowing melons, and you can only reap beans by sowing beans... I'm not even talking to you about this.
It's useless, and I can't let you return to the secular world. You should just follow me honestly! I haven't seen the world well, so this time I just want to broaden my horizons. Let's go!" Niu Youdao turned his mount and heeled.
Hit the horse's belly and gallop away.
Yuanfang immediately mounted his horse and gave chase.
After running for a while on the official road, the two turned into a small road and took the preset path. They did not dare to keep walking on the official road for the time being, fearing that their enemies would be waiting on the road, so they planned to take a complete detour before taking the main road.
The target is the Snowy Mountains in the north of South Korea, Ice and Snow Pavilion!
In another mountain forest, two horses were grazing leisurely.
Not far away, Yuan Gang was bowing there with his arms bare and his back like a dragon.
Wei Duo took a wooden stick and surrounded Yuan Gang and beat him wildly.
After practicing the exercises, Yuan Gang jumped into a nearby pool to wash himself.
Along the way, the horses cannot run non-stop and need to be groomed. Yuan Gang will take advantage of this to reserve an hour of practice time every day.
The two of them have entered the territory of Jinzhou and are getting closer and closer to the capital city of Jinzhou...
Night falls, Guangyi County, Prefect’s Mansion.
In the study, the housekeeper Shounian entered and handed a secret letter in his hands, "Sir, it came from the Tianyu Gate."
Feng Lingbo, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head and put the pen down. When he took it into his hand, he gradually frowned and stared at the content of the letter without saying a word.
After a while, Peng Yulan came in with a bowl of hot soup. Seeing that Feng Lingbo looked wrong, she put down the bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Lingbo handed it to her and let her see it for herself.
Peng Yulan was a little confused. After taking a look at it, she was a little surprised and said: "We have to prepare 50,000 horses to be distributed to the Shang Dynasty within half a month? Why does a small Canglu County need so many horses? We still need to raise funds.
Give him so much food and grass? Can Qingshan County allow so many people to enter?"
He turned around and asked Shounian again, "Didn't Ruonan send any news? Is there any news from Canglu County?"
Shounian shook his head: "No, except for Niu Youdao, there is no other news."
Feng Lingbo pondered: "Is it related to what Niu Youdao caused in Jinzhou?"
Peng Yulan looked at the secret message again and said, "Don't guess, I'll send a message directly to ask her father what's going on." Her father is Peng Youzai, the current head of Tianyu Sect.
The towering city walls are tall and the capital city of Jinzhou has arrived.
The high city wall in front of him was the largest city he had ever seen since Yuan Gang entered the world. He and Wei Duo dismounted their horses at the city gate. After being interrogated, they led the horses into the city one after another.
Not to mention the bustling city, they didn't have much to eat along the way, so the two of them found a roadside stall to fill their stomachs.
After tying up the horse and just sitting down in the stall, there was a movement on the road behind. A group of people and horses came guarding a luxury car. Someone in front of them was riding a horse to clear the way.
Pedestrians on the road got out of the way, and the stall owner and his wife were suddenly shocked and shouted: "Girl!"
The two's youngest daughter ran away with a wotou in her hand. She was on the road, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. She seemed a little frightened, but the horses that were opening the way were already rushing towards her.
Yuan Gang suddenly jumped out, rushed over in an instant, and hugged the little girl away with his arms.
The man on horseback seemed to be startled, and he stopped urgently. The horse's front hooves stood up and neighed, and he whipped Yuan Gang, who turned away, and shouted angrily, "Not yet."
Step aside!"
Yuan Gang grabbed the tip of the whip with his backhand and took it with him.
The whip in the rider's hand instantly flew out of his hands and flew to a nearby roof.
Yuan Gang said nothing, as if nothing had happened, he turned around and continued walking towards the stall.
The stall owner and his wife hurried out to greet him.
However, the rider became angry and rode directly towards Yuan Gang, crashing into him.
The couple who took over the child were a little frightened. Seeing the horse crashing into them, the woman screamed in fright.
Wei Duo stood up suddenly, only to see Yuan Gang turn around, twist his arms and punch, and bang! He punched the charging horse hard in the face.
"唏伦!" The war horse screamed, and both the man and the horse were thrown to the side and fell on the street.
This scene caused a panic among the crowds on both sides of the street. To ordinary people, it would be unbelievable to knock over a charging horse with one punch.
Not to mention other people, even Wei Duo was secretly shocked by Yuan Gang's strength. This guy's bones are very hard!
Hai Ruyue, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the scene on the street ahead through the bead curtain.
Immediately, monks stepped out from both sides of the carriage. Hai Ruyue inside the carriage said calmly: "Forget it."
Someone immediately sent a message outside the carriage.
The two monks who landed in front of Yuan Gang gave Yuan Gang a cold look. At the same time, they glanced at Wei Duo who was flashing beside Yuan Gang, and then turned back.
The group of people continued to move forward, but the little girl was so frightened that she cried loudly.
Yuan Gang leaned over and picked up the steamed bun that had fallen on the ground, blew the ash off it, tore off some of the dirty parts, put it back into the little girl's hand, and stroked her head. The little girl put it in her mouth directly.
She took a bite and looked at him with tears in her eyes, but she stopped crying.
Yuan Gang, who stood proudly, didn't even bother to look at the carriages and horses passing by.
But Hai Ruyue in the carriage had a panoramic view of this scene, and even turned her head to look out the side window until she could no longer see it.
