Lan Ruoting said with a smile: "Master Dao is a very prudent person. Since we said that we have got the war horses, the ten thousand horses that the prince needs should not be less."
Shang Chaozong nodded repeatedly: "Not bad!"
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, "That's true. Your Majesty, please gather your troops and make preparations!"
"Okay! Pass the order and the army will assemble!"
In another house directly behind the Sheriff's Mansion, all the senior officials of Tianyumen looked at Peng Youzai and Bai Yao who came from the Sheriff's Mansion to deliver the letter he had brought from Shang Chaozong.
superior.
Bai Yao said that Niu Youdao is back, and he has brought his war horse!
Because of this, everyone was attracted to stare at Peng Youzai.
Peng You couldn't tell what the expression was on his face. After reading the secret letter, he was a little silent. He handed the secret letter to the next person and sighed, "Let's take a look."
There is not much content in the secret message and can be read in one or two glances.
Everyone looked at it one by one, some were silent, or some were surprised.
Feng Entai is the one who is scratching his head the most. He is a sworn brother and it is the third son of his family who has done a good deed.
Peng glanced at everyone again, and probably no one expected that he had detained Niu Youdao during the day, and received a message from Niu Youdao at night that he was coming back. It was quite a coincidence.
Chen Tingxiu suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Feng, you are his sworn brother in name after all. You have been with him for so long, but you haven't heard anything about his war horses?"
Feng Entai wondered: "It's not that I didn't hear the news at all, but he didn't reveal the news to me at all."
Chen Tingxiu: "To do this kind of thing, our Tianyu Sect is willing to fully assist him. Instead, he drives our people back. What does that guy Niu Youdao mean? Could it be that he doesn't trust our Tianyu Sect? Could it be that our Tianyu Sect still doesn't want it?"
Can you ruin your own business?"
Feng Entai smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it's because we have gone back on our word so many times that he can't trust us anymore."
Chen Tingxiu frowned, "Junior Brother Feng, with your words, why do I feel that you have objections to the leader's decision?"
Feng Entai: "Senior Brother Chen, don't blame me randomly, I'm just comparing my feelings from his perspective..."
"Okay, stop arguing." Peng interrupted again, stood up, and sighed: "The matter was settled without making a sound, I have to accept it, but it's a pity that he is not a disciple of my Tianyu Sect.
It's a pity that those disciples who lost their lives in Qi State because of this matter earlier, if they had known this earlier, they should have let this guy go to Qi State to handle this matter from the beginning."
Everyone was silent, who could have thought of this? Who could guarantee that it would be done before Niu Youdao went there? Wasn't there really no other way out, and the plan to share the share of drinks made the guy go? Regarding this matter, everyone was worried
It is well understood.
"It's a good thing that we got the war horses. We can't get into trouble when we get here. We happen to be in Qingshan County. If something happens under our noses, we won't look good. It will be difficult to get war horses later. Let's get the war horses here."
Concentrate your manpower and arrange it, and let's go and greet our great hero!" Peng waved his hand again.
Feng Entai cupped his hands and said: "Master, his people are still in our hands, what should we do?"
Speaking of this, Peng Youzai could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He had not yet forced Yuan Fang and others to hand over the secret recipe.
The Tianyu Sect claims to be an upright sect after all, and it is inevitable to resort to means for profit, but the things they did in front of the public are completely unreasonable and unjustifiable. They agreed to give them ten days, but they haven't forced them yet.
The monk revealed the secret recipe.
There is no point in forcing it at the last moment.
"After all, the war horse hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait until it's confirmed!" Peng Zaizai gave his final opinion.
Feng Entai: "Master, will this matter make Niu Youdao fall out?"
Peng Zaizai said: "You are overthinking. That kid is a smart man, and he needs Tianyumen to protect him from the wind and rain. Otherwise, the majority of the benefits will not be given to us, and we will not fall out over this matter without any loss. With him
Given the current situation, you can try to get him to turn against you!"
Soon, people from several factions gathered together and rushed to the seaside overnight along with a large number of people from the Shang Chaozong.
Such a large-scale movement could not be concealed even if they wanted to, and it also alerted the spies hidden in Qingshan County from all sides. News was sent out overnight...
The boat was rocking in the waves, and several golden wings from Qingshan County came through the night sky one after another. Qingshan County was finally able to contact this side.
Sitting next to the light, Niu Youdao read the secret letters one by one, threw them aside and snorted, "Yumen is really evil today!"
After picking it up and looking at it, Guan Fangyi complained, "What's going on! Can you go back to Qingshan County? Don't cheat me!"
Before this person arrived, a commotion started in Qingshan County. Can you not be worried?
Niu Youdao raised his chin toward the window and teased: "If you really don't want to go, I won't force you. It's still too late to get off the boat and leave now!"
Bang! Guan Fangyi slapped the table, raised her eyebrows and said: "What do you mean, why did you go there earlier? Xiaoyue Pavilion has been offended by my mother. Now you have to drive me away. After using it, you want to burn the bridge, right?"
Niu Youdao: "Then why are you so long-winded? I just want to ask you, do you want to follow me?"
Bang! Guan Fangyi slapped the table and stood up, "I'll tell you what I feel like!" She turned around and walked away with her buttocks twisted.
Niu Youdao shook his head and muttered, "I heard that many men held her up like a goddess in the early years. How many men were blinded by this."
Gongsun Bu couldn't help but laugh...
The seaside and docks are heavily guarded, flags are fluttering, and the sea is flying.
The shore was empty, and all boats, large and small, had been emptied to make room for the coming horse-carrying boats.
Shang Shuqing, Lei Zongkang, and Wu Sanliang were on the shore, looking at the surrounding sea from time to time. Niu Youdao did not say where he came from.
Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang were wandering around, while Shang Shuqing stood quietly looking at the sea, with a pair of bright eyes looking forward to it, her skirts fluttering in the wind, and the waves lapping on the shore below.
As for others, they were resting at the inn at the dock, staying at the inn, or waiting in the warehouse.
Niu Youdao didn't say the specific time of arrival. He only said that he would arrive today. A group of people arrived here in the middle of the night. As a result, no one was seen until dawn. After waiting for half a morning, there was still no one. He didn't know when he would arrive. In the end,
One after another we found a place to wait, so as not to have to wait on the pier.
Lei Zongkang looked at the sun in the sky, walked to Shang Shuqing and said: "Princess, the sun is strong, why don't you go back to the house to rest first, I will notify you immediately when the ship comes."
After not resting all night and running long distances, Shang Shuqing looked tired, but she seemed to be in good spirits. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm not tired." Her bright eyes continued to look at the sea, and suddenly her gaze became fixed.
I saw a person flying over the sea. It was a Liuxian Sect disciple who was visiting the sea. The person flew ashore and shouted loudly: "The ship is coming."
Shang Shuqing hurriedly asked: "Where did it come from?"
The visitor pointed to the southwest.
Shang Shuqing immediately looked to the southwest, but couldn't see anything.
Dong dong dong dong...
The sound of drums suddenly sounded fiercely on the pier, sending a signal.
Soon, people in the inn, inn, and warehouse ran out one after another. Shang Chaozong, who was wearing a cloak, ran all the way to the shore and asked: "Where is the ship?"
"There is still some distance and we can't see it yet." Someone replied and pointed in the direction.
The top executives of the three sects arrived in a hurry, as did the top executives of Tianyumen. Lan Ruoting and Meng Shanming who was sitting in a wheelchair also came, and they were all watching from the dock.
Shang Chaozong turned around and shouted: "Burn the smoke!"
With a few buzzing sounds, the braziers on several simple stilt buildings were lit, and thick smoke rose up and drifted in the wind, guiding the direction of the approaching ships.
Not long after, a shadow of sail appeared on the sea, and it was obvious that many ships were coming.
As the ships on the sea get closer and closer, one big ship can already be seen clearly, but it's just that the size of the large ship is pressing towards this direction.
Very few people have ever seen such a spectacular sight.
Peng asked again, "My lord, how many war horses did you tell Niu Youdao to handle?"
Shang Chaozong: "Ten thousand horses!"
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said: "Looking at the scale, there are probably four to five hundred large ships. It seems that ten thousand war horses cannot use so many large ships."
Lan Ruoting said: "Master Dao is doing things carefully, maybe because he is accompanying the supply ship just in case."
Everyone nodded slightly, thinking about it, it stands to reason that getting 10,000 war horses is difficult enough, and it is unlikely that they will cause trouble for themselves.
To be precise, it is not a troublesome thing. Not to mention it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The more war horses are used, the greater the noise they make, which means the greater the risk.
However, after seeing the momentum of this huge fleet approaching, everyone seemed to wake up a lot.
The perception and feeling after not seeing it is different from seeing it with one's own eyes. Only at this moment did everyone realize that they had created such a large fleet to transport war horses from Qi State, and wanted to hide it from the eyes of many people.
It takes a lot of energy and effort to prepare, and just operate these ships.
Senior officials of Tianyu Sect, look at me and I look at you. I have received news before that Niu Youdao was dawdling on the road and was delayed in Qi Jing. Everyone still had ideas and accusations.
At this moment, they thought they understood that Niu Youdao had been lingering there for a reason, and they didn't know how many detailed and thorough preparations they had made secretly.
Now no one would think that Niu Youdao wasted his time. The senior officials of Tianyumen thought about it in their hearts and knew it clearly. If Tianyumen had replaced this matter, they would have spent so much time on Niu Youdao.
It is almost impossible to quietly purchase such a huge fleet in a short period of time. The ability of both parties is clearly judged!
This time, they were really convinced!
Feng Entai was stunned. He never dreamed that Niu Youdao would create such a big battle under his nose, and he didn't know anything about it.
Peng took another breath and sighed: "It's so rare to find such a talented person!"
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, "Headmaster Peng's words are reasonable. The spies of various countries are not blind. Just with this fleet, I don't know how much effort he spent and how much risk he took. I now understand why he wants to cut off and
All contacts with the outside world cannot afford to make mistakes! This matter is really too difficult for him!"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting, who were staring at each other, looked moved.
What she saw before her eyes and what she heard in her ears made Shang Shuqing's nose feel a little sore and her eyes were red.
