Chapter 429 There are guests from the Ten Thousand Caves
As soon as Bai Yao left, the three people in the room looked at each other. Peng was leaving in a hurry. He was going back to Shangping City again. It couldn't have been for no reason. The three of them all felt that something was wrong.
Shang Shuqing tried to ask, "Did Master Dao's letter play a role?"
I don’t know! Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting are also in the dark and unable to answer.
"Pack it up and let's go!" Shang Chaozong hesitated and explained that he had to go wherever Tianyu Sect asked him to go. He had no choice but to do so.
After packing up, the group arrived outside the inn, where the disciples of Tianyu Sect were also gathering urgently.
Feng Ruonan also came out. Wherever Shang Chaozong went, she also followed. She was indignant at facing Tianyumen, but also felt embarrassed not knowing how to face Shang Chaozong. She was incompatible with everyone, feeling sour and lonely.
Living alone in a room.
She is not stupid. How could she not know that her grandfather and her parents are teaming up to deal with her husband at this time? What should she do? Fall out with her parents?
She slowly approached Shang Chaozong. Lan Ruoting bowed her hands in greeting and remained respectful. Shang Chaozong only glanced at her coldly, seeming to snort with invisible disdain.
Feng Ruonan felt very sad, but Shang Shuqing stepped forward, held her hand with both hands, and said softly: "Sister-in-law."
"Yeah!" Feng Ruonan forced a smile.
After a little careful observation, Shang Chaozong and others also saw that the faces of the senior officials of Tianyu Sect were somewhat solemn, and the eyes of those senior officials were obviously glancing here from time to time, with complicated expressions.
This made the three of them more and more certain that something had happened.
Tianyumen blocked the news from them, and the three of them didn't know that the imperial court had appointed Shang Chaozong as the governor of Nanzhou.
All the people arrived, and after Chen Tingxiu gave the order, they all got on their horses. A large group of people rode out of the post station and galloped back along the official road...
In the middle of the night, the top of Changping City was blazing with flames. The city gate was temporarily opened, and a group of people from the Shang Chaozong rumbled into the city, breaking the tranquility of the city shrouded in the night and causing the lights in many people's homes to light up.
It was still the original residence. Shang Chaozong and others were sent back to the residence where they were previously placed under house arrest.
Many people couldn't sleep after thinking about it all night, and Shang Chaozong and others were also like this, still trying to figure out what happened.
Having trouble sleeping at night, Shang Chaozong's clothes were slightly wet from dew as he wandered in the courtyard under the moonlight.
Feng Ruonan came out of the room, came over with a cloak in his hand, walked to Shang Chaozong, shook it off, and put it on Shang Chaozong's shoulders.
Shang Chaozong turned around, pulled off the cloak from his shoulders, and threw it back into Feng Ruonan's arms rudely, "I don't dare to trouble you, I can't bear it!"
"Brother!" Shang Shuqing walked over quickly and glared at Shang Chaozong with a rather reproachful tone.
Feng Ruonan bit his lip with his silver teeth, hugged his cloak and turned around silently to leave.
Lan Ruoting, who was under the eaves, looked at this scene and really didn't know what to say.
"What does it have to do with sister-in-law? What can sister-in-law do?" Shang Shuqing scolded Shang Chaozong in a low voice.
Shang Chaozong: "From the beginning to the end, did she say a word to help us? If we didn't ask her to help us, wouldn't it be okay to stand up and say a word? Did she treat me as her husband? Did she treat us as a family member?
?”
Although she knew her brother was speaking out of anger, she couldn't explain the matter in one sentence or two. Shang Shuqing did not continue the argument with him and quickly went to Feng Ruonan's room.
Pushing the door open, he saw Feng Ruonan standing by the lamp, staring at the light with a dazed expression, crying silently.
After closing the door and turning around, Shang Shuqing walked up to Feng Ruonan, took Feng Ruonan's hand, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, stop crying. What I said was angry. Don't take it to heart. It's okay. It's over.
Okay. Stop crying." He wiped her tears distressedly.
Feng Ruonan burst into tears immediately and hugged Shang Shuqing, holding back her cries and sobbing. She was full of sadness and had nowhere to express it, and it turned into endless tears.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's really okay." Shang Shuqing hugged her to comfort her and also shed tears.
The other party's extremely suppressed crying really made her feel distressed. When had she ever seen her sister-in-law cry like this? Is this the same female general who bravely fought in the midst of thousands of troops without even frowning even after being stabbed?
At daybreak, the guards came quickly from outside and reported to the Shang Dynasty clan in the courtyard: "Your Majesty, Commander Meng is back."
"Where is it?" Shang Chaozong was overjoyed. He could hear the sound of the wheels in his ears. When he looked back, he saw Luo An pushing Meng Shanming and coming in a hurry.
Shang Chaozong immediately rushed over, and Lan Ruoting also jumped down the steps. The two of them rushed to Meng Shanming one after another, both of them were ecstatic.
"Uncle Meng!"
"Meng Shuai, are you okay?"
Shang Shuqing, who opened the door after hearing the commotion and came out, also held up her skirt and ran over in surprise, calling out in surprise, "Uncle Meng!"
Meng Shanming waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and turned back to signal to Luo An. Luo An immediately let go of the wheelchair and went to guard the door of the yard.
"Shuai Meng, since you already know this, why did you hide it from us? How can we feel at ease if you do this?" Shang Chaozong said sadly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Meng Shanming raised his hand to stop. There is no point in talking about this now. It's fine as long as everyone knows it. There is no need to worry about it. He is concerned about other things now, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty,
Why are you guys back again?" He stared at Lan Ruoting, "Master Luo was so wise all his life, how could he teach a confused student like you who doesn't know what's important? Why didn't you dissuade the prince?"
He did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, just hoping that he would understand the overall situation, but now he came back. He thought it was because of him that he came back, which made him feel happy and angry inside, so he almost scolded Shang Chaozong for being confused.
"Uncle Meng, you have misunderstood Mr. Lan. The reason why you came back has nothing to do with Mr. Lan. We don't know what happened, and we don't know if it has anything to do with Master Tao..." Shang Chaozong quickly explained the whole story.
Learning that Niu Youdao had left a second tip bag, Meng Shanming looked at Shang Shuqing in surprise. He didn't expect Shang Shuqing to listen to Niu Youdao's words so much. Although he realized some things, this time it was
Added a few more confirmations.
The look he looked at Shang Shuqing was filled with indescribable pity, and he sighed in his heart. Although Niu Youdao was approachable and young on the surface, his vision was extremely high, his city was deep, and his methods were extraordinary. This kind of person
It is rare in the world for a hero to be a hero. There is no woman he wants. How can ordinary women be so discerning? Not to mention the princess’s appearance. I’m afraid this girl is just wishful thinking!
He made a decision in his heart. If this matter can be resolved, he is going to have a good talk with Niu Youdao to see if they can be brought together. If they can succeed, it will be a great help to the prince!
Shang Shuqing felt a little embarrassed when he saw her. She misunderstood Meng Shanming's meaning and whispered: "Uncle Meng, I'm sorry."
"It's all over." Meng Shanming waved his hand, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself: "How could Jinzhou attack Nanzhou? Did the Taoist really take action?"
He also had little information here, and he also didn't know that the imperial court had appointed Shang Chaozong as the governor of Nanzhou. Feng Lingbo couldn't let him know this...
Thousands of mountains rise and fall, sending away the sunset, gradually rising, and welcoming the stars in the sky.
The group changed horses without changing people, galloping non-stop all the way, and finally arrived at this beautiful place.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves on the mountain road was stopped beside a cliff. On the cliff, four large characters stood out: Ten Thousand Cave Tianfu!
The person who came was none other than Peng Youyi and his party, and the one who stopped them was the disciples of Wandong Tianfu.
The group changed horses one after another at the inn in Jinzhou without any concealment. As soon as they entered the country, they alerted the Wandong Tianfu. At this time, an elder from the Wandong Tianfu came to greet them.
The group gave up their mounts and continued up the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and there was no need for their mounts.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, a majestic palace stands, with only moon butterflies dancing to welcome the guests. A group of disciples of the Wandong Tianfu welcome the guests together with Situ Yao, the head of the Wandong Tianfu.
"Head Situ."
"Master Peng."
Peng Youzai and Situ Yao exchanged greetings with each other after stepping onto the last step.
"I've learned that Master Peng is here. I've been waiting for you with a small banquet for a long time. Everyone, please!" Situ Yao turned sideways and extended his hand in the direction of the main hall to invite.
Peng Youzai had no intention of drinking with him. On the way, he encountered the Jinzhou army gathering towards the Nanzhou border. He was worried all the way. He smiled and said, "I don't care if it lasts for a while. The banquet can be postponed, Situ."
Can the leader take a step to speak?"
Situ Yao met the eyes of everyone on the left and right, and then raised his hand to guide the direction of the pavilion not far away.
The two heads immediately left side by side.
Before leaving, under the light of the Moon Butterfly, Peng Zaizai noticed that the faces of the top management of Wandong Tianfu didn't seem to be good-looking either. He didn't know if they were not welcome here or something.
When they came to a simple pavilion on the edge of the cliff, the two of them did not enter the pavilion. Instead, they stood side by side on the edge of the cliff with their hands clasped together, looking at the stars in the distance.
"Brother Situ must have known about Peng's intention, right?" Peng asked again with a sideways glance.
Situ Yao pretended to be confused and said, "I'm not sure, I just wanted to ask for advice."
Peng Youzai said: "Brother Situ, since you and I have formed an alliance and are dependent on each other, we should keep the air open at all times. Why are we, Tianyu Sect, sending messages one after another but unable to get a reply? Could it be that your faction has other ideas?"
Situ Yao: "Brother Peng, I heard that the imperial court of Yan State has decreed that Shang Chaozong be the governor of Nanzhou?"
Peng slowly turned his head and asked, "So what?"
Situ Yao: "Since the Yan Kingdom's court has made concessions and Nanzhou has justifiably returned to Tianyumen, why should Tianyumen resist the Yan Kingdom's court again? It would be of no benefit to anyone to cause trouble again, don't you think?"
Peng Zai said coldly: "Who will be in charge of the secular affairs of Nanzhou? Our Tianyu Sect has its own decision. Could it be that Brother Situ still wants to interfere in the internal affairs of our Tianyu Sect?"
Situ Yao waved his hand: "Brother Peng misunderstood, and it's difficult for me to do this."
Peng Youzai: "Where is the difficulty?"
Situ Yao: "Shang Chaozong is Hai Ruyue's cousin. You should know this. There is another thing. I only found out recently that Hai Ruyue and Shang Jianbo, the then King of Ning, were once in love with Shang Chaozong. Hai Ruyue loved
The Shang Dynasty regards his nephew as his own child and does not want his nephew to be wronged... You also know that women are prone to being emotional, and I also have a headache." 5610
