Chapter 378: The one who has the last laugh is a true hero
"Thank you?" The ghost mother's eyes almost burst into flames. Her primary concern now is not that Emperor Qi will do anything bad to her. What she is worried about is Zhang Xingrui. "If this happens, where can Zhang Xingrui go? Are we going to let him
Is it possible for my family to follow me to the Yinshan Mountain and live a life that will never see the light of day? The power of Xiaoyue Pavilion is unfathomable. You may be found wherever you hide. Can Zhang Xingrui escape Xiaoyue Pavilion's pursuit? Live a life of thrills.
No? If you hadn't intervened in this matter, why would Zhang Xingrui have gotten into this trouble? Do you still want me to thank you?"
Niu Youdao: "Sister, please be patient. Now that the matter has come to this, Zhang Xingrui's identity has been exposed. It is naturally impossible to return to Hao Yunsheng. Otherwise, Hao Yunsheng will be held hostage by Hao Yunsheng and threaten the eldest sister. It is a pity that there is a person beside the eldest sister.
With a large group of people following me, it will be difficult to find a more suitable place for practice than in Shenyin Mountain, otherwise you can come to my place with Zhang Xingrui."
The ghost mother said angrily: "Can you block Xiaoyue Pavilion with this three-acre land? Once Xiaoyue Pavilion gathers its masters to attack, Tianyumen will not be able to stop it. You can't protect yourself, so how can you protect him?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand: "So I won't let you come here. Since I have sworn brothers with the eldest sister and have different surnames, the eldest sister's affairs are my business. How can I sit idly by and ignore this matter? If I really want to sit by and ignore it.
If that’s the case, you can just give the money and let the matter be none of your business, so why bother yourself? Don’t worry, eldest sister, I have a way to keep Zhang Xingrui and his family safe!"
Ghost Mother: "What can I do?"
Niu Youdao: "In Qi State, if one person comes forward, he can protect Yinshan, Zhang Xingrui's family, Xiaoyue Pavilion, and even the King of the West Courtyard can be prevented from acting rashly!"
The ghost mother was startled for a moment, turned her eyes, and said suspiciously: "Hao Yun Tu? Can you make Hao Yun Tu come forward?"
Niu Youdao: "Sister, please keep your heart in mind. If you can trust me and leave this matter to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation..."
People outside didn't know what the two people inside talked about. Anyway, by the time the two people came out of the inn, it was already dusk.
A large number of war horses have begun to move in batches, and several disciples are participating in the escort.
The ghost mother came to Lu Lijun to make arrangements for the ghost cultivators who came here. She was not ready to leave for the time being, and she would not leave until Niu Youdao gave her a satisfactory answer.
Words are useless, she wants to see actual results.
Niu Youdao stood outside the inn and looked around. Gongsun Bu came over and said, "Master Dao, the prince asked me to ask how long it will take for your affairs to be over. Do you want to go back together?"
Niu Youdao: "Tell the prince that it's time to leave."
There was a bank opposite the inn, and a crowd of people crowded at the door. After a while, many people let go of their golden wings. After Xu Laoliu and a group of people bowed their hands, they also left the crowd and came back.
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards the bank door and asked Xu Laoliu, "What's going on?"
Xu Laoliu: "The accounts have been settled with those who ran the ship. All the compensation that should be paid has been paid. They are very happy to get more money. It is inconvenient for them to carry so much money with them, so it is all deposited into the account of the ship owner.
They sent messages one after another to inform the ship owner that the matter was finally settled."
Niu Youdao: "Have you asked clearly about your background?"
Xu Laoliu: "After asking questions clearly, I have written them all down."
Niu Youdao squinted his eyes as he looked at the crew members who were gathering in groups at the bank entrance to eat and drink, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if there are any hidden forces from Xiaoyue Pavilion in the background of these people."
Guan Fangyi, who was on the side, watched for a while, but she couldn't tell. She turned around and joked: "The five million gold coins I just got are gone like this?"
Niu Youdao didn't take it seriously, "If it's gone, it's gone. People have money, but people have no money. Saving money is worse than saving people!"
Guan Fangyi clicked her tongue twice, "You are poor and generous!"
Although he said this, the look in his eyes could not conceal his admiration, and he said in a voice: "How can I do business when I get back?"
Niu Youdao was astonished: "What's the deal?"
Guan Fangyi patted his chest with the round fan in her hand, "Peng is here again! You surrounded them, and they asked you to give an explanation. If you can't give an explanation, wouldn't I be in trouble with you?"
Niu Youdao: "You are worrying too much. I have the secret recipe for wine making. I have told him a long time ago that I have a backup plan. He is concerned about the interests of the wine and does not dare to touch me for fear that I will make the secret recipe public. The so-called
I just want to get off the stairs, just give him an explanation. Besides, I just have a sworn eldest sister here, and he doesn’t dare to act rashly if he doesn’t understand the situation, and Peng Zai doesn’t have anything to worry about.”
That's it! Guan Fangyi nodded secretly, looked back at the ghost mother not far away who was giving orders to her subordinates, she was secretly amused, and turned around and asked: "What should I do with Xiaoyue Pavilion? I won't suffer a loss without reacting, don't think I'm running away.
People would not dare to touch you after leaving Qi State. Now the goal is clear, you are in Qingshan County, and Xiaoyue Pavilion will attack you at any time!"
"It's nothing to worry about. Since I dare to come back, I have my own way to deal with it!" Niu Youdao left after leaving his words and greeted Shang Chaozong who was walking outside.
Not long after, a group of people set off in rumble, including a carriage with Meng Shanming in it.
The rest, including Shang Chaozong and Niu Youdao, were on horseback, and the ghost mother also brought several ghost cultivators to accompany her...
Late at night, the group arrived at the intersection outside Qingshan County and into the mountains. Shang Chaozong insisted on seeing them off in person, but it was hard to refuse the kindness. Niu Youdao couldn't resist him, so he had to let him go.
When they arrived at the valley, they found a group of people waiting in the pavilion inside the valley. It was Peng You who was waiting for them, and Yuan Fang and others were also there.
Everyone here jumped off their horses, Yuan Fang dodged and rushed over, clasping his fists with some excitement and saying: "Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao looked at him up and down and asked, "Are you okay?"
Yuanfang shook his head, "It's okay, he's fine. Black Mudan, she...she..." looked sad, obviously already knowing that Black Mudan was killed.
Niu Youdao raised his palm to stop him from talking anymore. He didn't want to mention it again. It had already happened. It was pointless to repeat it and it would only add to the sadness. He continued to ask: "You didn't give them the secret recipe for brewing, did you?"
Yuan Fang hurriedly raised his chest and raised his head and assured: "No, absolutely not! They just locked us up and didn't ask us about the secret recipe."
"Yeah!" Niu Youdao patted him on the shoulder and walked towards Peng.
Bai Yao had already ducked to Peng Zai's side, and he didn't know what he was muttering to Peng Zai, but looking at Peng Zai's uncertain eyes, he could probably guess it.
Niu Youdao walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Master Peng, why are you here to greet me?"
"Welcome?" Peng Youzai said: "Why ask when you already know?"
Niu Youdao nodded, turned around and stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
Peng walked away alone with him again.
A little further away from everyone, the two stopped under the moonlight. Niu You said: "We got these 30,000 war horses. I am just the executor. The real planner of the plan is Tianyumen, so the money to buy the warhorses is Tianyumen."
The one who came from Yumen and brought the war horses is also Tianyumen, I am just an errand boy and I don’t dare to take credit!”
Peng's eyelids twitched again and he understood what he meant. He wanted to give the credit to Tianyumen as an explanation.
Yes, this credit is what Tianyu Sect hopes to have, otherwise it would be too shameful. After more than a year of hard work, the loss of so many people, and the cost of so much, nothing has been achieved. The dignified Tianyu Sect cannot compare with a Niu Youdao
, why is the feeling so embarrassing?
Peng Zaizai: "Do you think everyone is blind?"
Niu Youdao: "I don't know whether he is blind or not, but I am sure of one thing. Except for a few people around me, no one knows where this war horse came from. I was afraid of any accidents during the process of obtaining the war horse, and I have been at a high altitude.
Keep it secret, so others don’t know the situation at all!”
Peng asked again: "Is the prince a fool?"
Niu Youdao: "It doesn't matter whether the prince is a fool. What's important is that the prince will not speak ill of Tianyumen to others. Besides, the prince really doesn't know what happened. I will tell the prince that this matter is all caused by Tianyumen.
It was planned by myself. From now on, people around me will tell the outside world that this matter is the result of Tianyumen. The parties involved have said so, what can outsiders say?"
Peng Zai again: "A person's mouth has two skins, isn't it up to you to decide whether it's good or bad?"
Niu Youdao: "What good can I do by confronting Tianyumen about this kind of thing? Is it necessary? Tianyumen doesn't need to admit or deny it. Just stay silent. The rest is for us, the parties involved, to say.
, do it. Master Peng, what do you think?"
Peng Youzai did not agree or object. He turned around and left. Instead of going back to Tianyumen, he walked up to the Ghost Mother, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Peng Youzai is here at the Tianyumen. I dare to ask, but is the Ghost Mother the master of law?"
Come in person?”
The ghost mother said grimly: "Master Peng is too polite."
Peng Youzai: "If there are distinguished guests coming from afar, my Tianyu Gate will do my best to serve as the landlord, and I would like to respectfully invite you to the city..."
"No need to bother!" Ghost Mother interrupted and gestured to Niu Youdao who was walking towards him, "I still have something to discuss with my little brother."
"That's the case, then I won't bother you." The hot face touched the cold buttocks, Peng Zai smiled and passed by, looked back at Niu Youdao, and suddenly turned back and asked: "Can you give me the money, Niu Youdao?"
you?"
The ghost mother said coldly: "What? Do you want to take it back?"
"Haha, I never meant that, farewell!" Peng Zai cupped his hands again, flicked his sleeves, and passed by.
Seeing this, a group of people from Tianyu Sect also followed.
After watching these people leave, Shang Chaozong came out again and invited Niu Youdao aside.
After arriving, Niu Youdao asked: "What other instructions does the prince have?"
Shang Chaozong smiled bitterly and said: "I am really ashamed that they came here to arrest people. I..."
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop, "There is no need to say more about this matter. I know in my heart that if I am not here, people from the three sects will not dare to stop them. The prince is alone and cannot stop them. The prince does not need to worry about trivial matters.
, Mr. Niu doesn’t even have such a big heart. Your Majesty, you still need to remember that we are currently inferior to others, and some things should be tolerated. When your Majesty becomes powerful, it’s time for them to swallow their anger. At present, they still need to rely on God.
The forces of Yumen, try not to confront them head-on, surrender for the time being, and wait for the future. The world is in trouble, and the road ahead for you and me is bumpy. Don't judge heroes by temporary success or failure. The one who laughs at the end is the real hero!"
