On the official road, Peng and his group were galloping again. After arriving at a post station, they all entered and took a short rest.
Some Tianyu Sect disciples quickly entered for inspection, while others were on guard inside and outside. There was a sudden noise of people sneezing and raising dust in the circled post station.
Peng jumped off his horse and looked back at Shang Chaozong.
He had already discovered that Shang Chaozong seemed to have something on his mind along the way.
He walked over with a smile on his face and asked: "Your Highness, are you worried about Meng Shuai? Don't worry, I just want Meng Shuai to stay temporarily to assist Feng Lingbo. When the situation in Nanzhou stabilizes, Meng Shuai will naturally come back."
Before Nanzhou is completely stabilized and before the Shang Dynasty Clan's people are completely purged and integrated, it is not appropriate to rashly move the Shang Dynasty Sect. If it can be stabilized, he still wants to try his best to stabilize the Shang Dynasty Sect. It is best to solve the problem without causing any trouble.
s Choice.
After saying that, he turned around and left, leading the accompanying senior officials into the inn for a short break. There was no need for him to stay with Shang Chaozong to flatter him, a few nice words were enough.
However, he did not know that Meng Shanming had intercepted the news that he would stay with Feng Lingbo and did not let Shang Chaozong and others know about it. He thought that Shang Chaozong and others knew about it, otherwise they would not say such things.
Several members of the Shang Chaozong were stunned for a moment, unable to realize what it meant. When they understood Peng Youzai's words, their expressions changed drastically.
From the beginning, they knew that their lives were in danger. They knew from the beginning that Tianyu Sect might want to take action here, but they were just cautious not to expose it. When they learned that Meng Shanming had been transferred, they immediately understood that this
He wants to kill Meng Shanming!
Shang Chaozong wanted to chase Peng on the spot. He wanted to catch up with Peng and asked him clearly.
Lan Ruoting grabbed his arm, and Shang Chaozong suddenly turned around, his cheeks tense and his face filled with anger.
"Your Majesty, don't be reckless!" Lan Ruoting also had a look of sadness and anger in his eyes, but he tried hard to stay calm and calm. He shook his head slightly at Shang Chaozong, signaling not to ask further questions.
Shang Shuqing bit her lips tightly, her expression was gloomy, and her eyes were red.
Bai Yao came out of the inn room and saw that the three people looked a little strange. He was a little confused, but he still said calmly: "Your Majesty, the room is ready. Take a drink of water and wash the dust off your face. Try to hurry up. You can't rest for a while.
We will continue on our way soon."
Lan Ruoting was afraid that Shang Chaozong would be impulsive, so he quickly answered with a smile: "Okay!"
Several people entered the inn house, and a room was arranged for the three of them to enter.
Lan Ruoting signaled to the two accompanying guards to guard the door, and then quickly closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, Shang Shuqing could no longer control her emotions, tears burst into her eyes, she covered her mouth and sobbed, not daring to cry out for anyone outside to hear.
They didn't even dare to cry. It was difficult for outsiders to put themselves in their shoes and understand the mood and pressure in this situation. Their situation was indeed difficult.
Bang! Shang Chaozong punched his palm and vented his inner sorrow and anger with his fist.
"Your Majesty, Princess, the more you are at this time, the more you need to stay calm, we can't get into trouble." Lan Ruoting persuaded the two of them in a low voice, not daring to speak louder.
Shang Shuqing shook her head with a look of disgrace and cried softly: "Uncle Meng has been nagging after the war. He is not a nagging person. Yesterday he was nagging about my marriage. I should have noticed it a long time ago.
That's right, it's my fault, it's all my fault. He spared no effort for us...but I didn't even notice his abnormality and didn't take it to heart at all. I'm sorry for Uncle Meng."
Lan Ruoting advised again: "Princess, now is not the time to talk about this."
Shang Chaozong's breathing was rapid, his chest heaved violently, and he became angry, "A bunch of dogs, I'm going to find them. If they dare to touch Meng Shuai, I'll die with them at the worst!"
"Your Majesty!" Lan Ruoting hugged one of Shang Chaozong's arms with both hands and tightened it, not letting him go. He said anxiously: "Don't be reckless!"
"Let go!" Shang Chaozong was furious, "They are going to kill Meng Shuai. Do you want to watch Meng Shuai die?"
Lan Ruoting refused to let go and begged earnestly: "Your Majesty, I didn't know that Meng Shuai's life was in danger, but please think about it, why did Meng Shuai do this without telling us? He was just afraid that the prince would be impulsive! The other party put Meng Meng in danger."
For Shuai to move away from us, it means that the other party does not want to touch the prince yet, but just wants to cut off his wings. Meng Shuai obviously knows this very well. Meng Shuai deliberately hid it from us because he wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the prince!"
"Once the prince finds them making trouble, and once the two sides are at odds with each other, not only will they not be able to save Meng Shuai, they will continue to do it. Everyone will be like this, and everyone will turn their backs. They will even solve the problem with the prince. This
The inn may be the burial place of the prince! Meng Shuai is sacrificing himself to buy time for the prince and a chance to make a comeback. If the prince also crashes in, we will completely lose the chance of a comeback. Meng Shuai is risking his life for the sake of the prince.
The prince strives for opportunities, how can he ignore it?"
Shang Chaozong said sadly: "Can I swallow this opportunity?"
Lan Ruoting's eyes were red, and she grabbed his arm and shook it, "You have to swallow it if you can't. Even if it's humiliation, someone has to avenge Meng Shuai, right? Does the prince want Meng Shuai to die in vain?"
Does the prince want Meng Shuai to die with his eyes open?" There were tears in his eyes, the pain was palpable, and he was obviously very excited.
Shang Chaozong clenched his fists and trembled, looking up to the sky with tears streaming down his face.
Being involved in this world storm, it is so vast that no matter how many tears a man sheds, it is not worth mentioning. How many heroes and warriors, how many princes and generals have been buried in this storm, how many tender feelings have been drowned, and how many heroes of the world have repeatedly failed.
Nothing can be done!
"No! Nothing will happen to Uncle Meng." Shang Shuqing suddenly remembered something and reached into her sleeves to dig around. There was a rush of panic and urgency in her mouth, "There is still a chance. There must be a way. Uncle Meng will definitely not
Something happened, I found it, there should be a solution in it."
She took out another brocade bag from her sleeve and held it in front of the two of them with both hands.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting, who had tears on their faces, wiped away their tears and stared at the brocade bag in her hand, a brocade bag tied with a white ribbon.
Lan Ruoting asked: "Princess, what is this?"
Shang Shuqing also raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and choked up and said: "Master Tao, this is the bag of tips that Master Tao left for me. He left two for me, one with a black ribbon to tie the mouth and one with a white ribbon.
Tie the mouth. The one with the black ribbon has been given to my brother, and the one with the white ribbon has been told by the Master to turn on the emergency response when life is in danger!"
Lan Ruoting perked up and looked at the kit with a light of hope in his eyes.
Shang Chaozong stamped his feet, grabbed the brocade bag in his hand, and got angry, "Qing'er, what the hell are you doing? How could you forget such an important thing, and how could you just take it out now? You're confused!"
Shang Shuqing was also angry with herself, and couldn't help but shed tears, "Brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for Uncle Meng. But Master Dao has repeatedly confessed that it affects the future of the entire Nanzhou and everyone's years of hard work.
This bag cannot be opened easily. It can only be opened in emergency situations when your life is in danger! I didn’t know that Uncle Meng would sacrifice himself without telling us..."
"Okay!" Lan Ruoting pressed his hands between the brothers and sisters, "Your Majesty, there must be a reason for the Taoist's instructions. You can't blame the princess. There is nothing wrong for the princess to follow the Taoist's instructions. But Meng Shuai's current situation
We are in a situation where our lives are in danger. We should be able to open it. Your Majesty, it’s not too late. If it’s too late, it might be too late. Open the bag and see what clever tips the Taoist master has left in the bag to deal with life.
worries."
Shang Chaozong immediately tore off the white ribbon on the brocade bag, opened it, and took out a letter with two pieces of paper folded together.
The letter was spread out, without regard to any rules. Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing put their heads together to read the contents of the letter.
There are only a few words on the front page: If you are in danger of your life, you can submit the cover letter to Tianyumen and you will be able to survive the crisis!
That's it. You three look at me and I look at you.
Shang Chaozong quickly opened the upper page and read the cover letter below.
I saw it read: Urgent report! Jinzhou has gathered 300,000 troops to attack Nanzhou! Niu Youdao!
The contents of the cover letter were simple enough, and the three of them looked at each other in confusion.
Shang Chaozong was suspicious: "Do you want to rely on this fake news to make an emergency response? Tianyumen is not stupid. Neither Jinzhou nor Wandong Tianfu can send troops for us. If Jinzhou and Nanzhou fight, they can only take advantage of Yan State.
With Zhao State, Zhao Huang Hai Wuji will definitely take the opportunity to capture Jinzhou. How can Jinzhou send troops to attack Nanzhou? This...this...can Tianyumen believe it?"
Lan Ruoting also had a look of boredom on his face, feeling that the content of the letter was not up to the standard of Taoist methods. This information could only fool him for a while at best. Playing with Tianyumen in this way was suspected of being a desperate struggle at the end of the road. Once Tianyumen verified it,
If the information is wrong, it will be equivalent to breaking the window paper and letting Tianyumen know that this side is not willing to give in. I am afraid that Tianyumen will be provoked to take action quickly.
Now, Tianyumen wants to take over Nanzhou smoothly, and does not want to use too drastic means to cause trouble. It also wants to live in an ignoble way, at least maintaining a fragile balance.
Shang Shuqing also hesitated about the content of the letter, but finally persuaded him: "Since Mr. Dao arranged it like this, it will not be without purpose. There must be a reason, so you might as well follow Mr. Dao's wishes!"
Lan Ruoting twisted his beard and said hesitantly: "We have been taught Taoist master's methods many times. It's not that I don't believe in his ability, but this... he can't even fool us, and he can't fool Tianyumen at all!"
Shang Shuqing's eyes flashed with determination, "Brother, Mr. Lan, I have been with Master Dao for many years. I understand Master Dao's character and I believe in Master Dao's character. Taking a step back, I want to save Uncle Meng.
Do we have any other options? If we have a chance to try it, can we still watch Uncle Meng die? Brother, Mr. Lan, just do what Master Dao says!"
Speaking of saving Meng Shanming, Shang Chaozong immediately made up his mind and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
"Alas!" Lan Ruoting knew that there was no point in saying anything, so he couldn't help but sigh, "This Taoist master always does things that are mysterious and unpredictable, and he always makes others panic."
