After the carriages and horses passed by, the crowds on both sides of the street returned to normal. Many people secretly pointed at Yuan Gang.
The stall owner and his wife, who were holding the little girl in their arms, thanked Yuan Gang repeatedly. It was obvious that they were more afraid than grateful.
Yuan Gang didn't say anything to say thank you, and sat back at the stall to eat. He faintly heard the word "prefect's mansion" mentioned in the whispers among the crowd. It seemed that the people who passed by just now were from the governor's mansion, but it was true.
Ling Yuan Gang looked at the direction where the carriage and horse disappeared.
Yuan Gang always had a large appetite and had a hearty meal. When paying the bill, the stall owner and his wife refused to take the money.
Yuan Gang did not push around with the stall owner and his wife, he threw down a silver coin, and he and Wei Duo took their mounts and left.
After asking around all the way, the two finally found the governor's mansion, and were naturally stopped outside the mansion.
Hai Ruyue had actually just returned from her inspection tour. Not long after she had rested here, a maid was holding a box of newly purchased jewelry and was choosing it for her.
Butler Zhu Shun came and announced: "Madam, Yuan Gang is here."
Hai Ruyue said, "Go and get the letter Niu Youdao left."
Zhu Shun did not leave in a hurry and said with a smile: "Someone just saw Yuan Gang and specifically mentioned it to the old slave, saying that Yuan Gang had just rammed his wife's car on the street."
"Is it him?" Hai Ruyue looked up in surprise and put the jewelry in her hand back into the jewelry box, "Is he Yuan Gang?"
Zhu Shun shook his head: "I didn't go with you before, so I didn't see it, so I don't know very well."
Hai Ruyue clicked her tongue and said with great interest: "Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, and they are all extraordinary people. From what you have learned over there, what is the relationship between Yuan Gang and Niu Youdao?"
Zhu Shun: "The two rarely appear outside, and people over there can't tell what's going on, but they are definitely always with Niu Youdao, and they are probably their confidants."
Hai Ruyue waved her hand: "Please."
"Yes!" Zhu Shun walked to the door and gave instructions to the people below.
Yuan Gang and Wei Duo who were blocked outside the mansion were let go, but they were still searched according to the rules. Wei Duo's sword and Yuan Gang's dagger were temporarily detained, and restraints were placed on them.
The two of them were led to the living room to wait.
Not long after waiting, Hai Ruyue arrived accompanied by Zhu Shun, and the host and guest met.
After their identities became clear to each other, Yuan Gang was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that the hostess of Jinzhou would come out to see him in person.
Yuan Gang didn't have the habit of bowing his hands when meeting people, not even when he saw Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing. He looked at each other up and down and asked: "Where is Niu Youdao?"
Hai Ruyue was also sizing him up and thought this man was a bit interesting. Because of Yuan Gang's previous behavior on the street, she found that Yuan Gang seemed to have no class concept.
For people in this world, people are divided into three, six or nine levels. Officials are officials and people are people. Yuan Gang does not take officials seriously, but he goes to please the common people and fights in the street. For Hai Ruyue's concept
, a little unable to understand Yuan Gang’s behavior.
Hai Ruyue, who was sitting down, said calmly: "Niu Youdao is gone."
Yuan Gang frowned and asked, "Where are you going?" Seeing that the other party didn't reply, he asked again, "Ice and Snow Pavilion?"
Hai Ruyue chuckled: "It seems you know a lot."
"Excuse me, farewell!" Yuan Gang dropped the words and left.
Hai Ruyue was angry and funny. She realized that this man really didn't take her seriously at all, so she shouted: "Stop! Is this a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
Yuan Gang stopped, turned around slowly and said: "The eldest princess and I have no enmity or enmity!"
Hai Ruyue: "Let's stay in Jinzhou for the time being." He added, "This is what Niu Youdao told me before he left." He tilted his head to indicate.
Zhu Shun took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Gang.
In fact, no etiquette was observed here. I had already opened the letter and read it. However, I was a little confused because I couldn't understand it. I studied and pondered it over and over again for a long time and still couldn't understand it.
Yuan Gang took out the letter from the letter and took a glance at it. He knew that it was undoubtedly left by Master Dao. It contained simplified Chinese characters and the font was also Dao Master's running script.
This thing has no rules to follow without reference. He probably wouldn't be able to decipher the content with just a letter.
The general meaning of the letter was that Niu Youdao guessed that he would come after knowing the news, and asked him to stay in Jinzhou until Niu Youdao came back and not run around.
This is Niu Youdao's painstaking efforts. He knew that once the matter here was settled, a war was about to break out in Qingshan County. If Yuan Gang stayed with Shang Chaozong, he would most likely participate in the war. There was a certain feeling in Yuan Gang.
It's too strong, it's bloody, and if you're not afraid of death, you might risk your life on the battlefield.
Niu Youdao didn't think that the great cause of the Shang brothers and sisters was worth Yuan Gang's life.
Niu Youdao asked the Shang Chaozong to publicly sever relations with each other for this purpose. Knowing that Yuan Gang would definitely come, he took the opportunity to transfer Yuan Gang away from Qingshan County and waited until the situation in Qingshan County stabilized. The Shang family
If the brothers and sisters are together, it doesn't matter if Yuan Gang goes back. If the Shang brothers and sisters are defeated and their territory is occupied by others, there will naturally be no need to go back.
In short, he could not let Yuan Gang put himself in danger and ignore it.
He kept his promise and went to Bingxue Pavilion to get the Red Sun Fruit in order to stabilize Hai Ruyue. Just as he said to Yuanfang, he used Jinzhou as a retreat. No one can tell what will happen in the future, but at least Yuan can now
Gang has a place to live and settle down.
However, as soon as Yuan Gang saw the content of the letter, he immediately realized that it was risky for Master Dao to go there, otherwise he would not have been allowed to follow him.
"Farewell!" Yuan Gang dropped his words and turned around again.
Two monks appeared at the door and stopped them.
Hai Ruyue said calmly: "Take her to Liufang Pavilion for placement!"
Martial arts!
Although each country has introduced a calendar of year names, all countries are based on the Wu Dynasty. Each country uses its own calendar to communicate, which is a bit confusing. Therefore, the calendar that is truly universal and convenient for calculating years is basically the Wu calendar.
.
This also made the heroes of various countries regretful. The Wu Dynasty was still in decline. Those who had ambitions all hoped to one day unify the calendar. When the wish was realized, it would naturally be the time to unify the world.
Wuli 523.
Song Long, the envoy of the State of Yan, was assassinated in Jinzhou of the State of Zhao. Jinzhou found out that Song Long ignored the laws of Jinzhou due to personal vendetta and acted arbitrarily in Jinzhou. This is intolerable and asked the State of Yan for an explanation. The State of Yan said that it was wrong
On the grounds of waiting, he refused to negotiate with Jinzhou and only communicated with the Zhao court. The governor of Jinzhou was furious and assembled heavy troops to attack Nanzhou of Yan State, ready to attack at any time.
This move made the Yan court uneasy due to internal and external troubles. Zhou Shouxian, the governor of Nanzhou, urgently mobilized heavy troops in Nanzhou for defense. However, the Yan court had to be wary of the princes internally and be on guard against the covetous enemy countries externally, so it could not give Zhou Shouxian much help.
In the late spring of that year, when Nanzhou's internal defenses were empty, Shang Chaozong, the son of the former Yan Kingdom Sima Ning Wang Shang Jianbo and the king of Yongping County, used the excuse to find out that the previous attack was the work of Nanzhou Governor Zhou Shouxian, and wrote to the imperial court to severely punish Zhou Shouxian.
Refuting on the grounds of evidence, Shang Chaozong was furious and asked his father-in-law Feng Lingbo to borrow 50,000 elite troops to attack Zhou Shouxian. They attacked the city and seized territory along the way. It was unstoppable and the whole country of Yan was shocked!
The vast Gobi desert is vast and boundless.
When a faint mountain finally appeared in sight, Yuanfang pointed excitedly, "Master Tao, we're here, Star Reaching City has arrived."
Niu Youdao, who was slowly swaying on the horse's back, looked out, "Looking at the mountain, the horse will run to death. It will probably take dark to get there."
Star Picking City is an ancient city. It is said that it was originally the capital of a country. It was later destroyed by Emperor Shang Song of the Wu Kingdom. Now it has become one of the places where practitioners gather to trade.
It is not a land without an owner. The owner behind it is one of the few masters in the Nascent Soul stage in the spiritual world. The situation is similar to the Ice and Snow Pavilion and Demon Ridge. For example, behind the Ice and Snow Pavilion is Granny Xue.
The purpose of coming here is to take a look. As for going to Bingxue Pavilion to get the Red Sun Fruit, it is not urgent. Even Hai Ruyue's forces can't get something. Niu Youdao doesn't think he can get it as soon as he goes. Some things are urgent.
If not, it might be more beneficial to have a full understanding of some situations in the practice world.
Yuanfang was excited because he had never been there before. He even heard about it from Niu Youdao before he knew there was such a place.
The Gobi is desolate, but it is not unpopular. From time to time, you can see fast horses running back and forth.
As Niu Youdao expected, by the time the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already dusk.
There are no trees on the mountains here, almost no grass growing on them.
The horses they were riding on could not go up the mountain, but there was a horse farm at the foot of the mountain where many horses were penned.
When I inquired about it, I found out that this is a storage place for horses. If you leave your horses here, they will provide you with fodder and care for them, but the price is high, one gold coin per day.
The two had no choice but to store their horses here and then galloped up the mountain.
When we reach the top of the mountain, it's not the destination yet, it's the place with lights ahead.
After climbing over mountains and ridges, we finally saw a dilapidated ancient city.
The two of them entered the city. There were quite a few people coming and going in the city, obviously all of them were monks. At night, the light in the city was not very good, and each house was in charge of its own business. It was said that the merchants were qualified to place stoves at the door for lighting, so most people had their heads above their heads.
Flying butterflies with lighting.
There were too many unidentified people in this place, which meant unknown risks. The two of them went straight to the famous Yaoyue Inn in the city. It was said that it was owned by the city lord's family. It had a strong background and could guarantee safety. The two didn't know much about this place.
Naturally, people’s safety comes first.
The location of Zhaoyue Inn is relatively high, halfway up the main peak. It is in a good location and overlooks the whole city. It is also the only place in the city that is qualified to open a store in this location. You can see the background. It is said that the location of Zhaoyue Inn is good.
It was the imperial palace in the ancient city. After arriving, Niu Youdao was convinced. This was clearly the size of the palace.
When he climbed the steps at the door of the inn, Niu Youdao suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked behind him, and found that many people wandering outside the inn were staring at the two of them, as if they were seeing two pieces of fat.
However, these people obviously did not dare to cause trouble here and only dared to watch from the bottom of the steps.
After the two entered the inn, they felt the luxury of the Yaoyue Inn. The lobby was spacious and bright, not to mention its luxury. A waiter came over to greet them warmly. After confirming that they were staying, they were led to register.
The two of them asked for a room, which cost ten gold coins a day, which was ridiculously expensive.
However, the shopkeeper said that as long as guests staying at the Yao Yue Inn are guaranteed to be safe in Star Reaching City for one day, no one will dare to cause trouble in the Star Reaching City with the room card of the Yao Yue Inn.
