For a time, many forces sent people to Nanzhou to congratulate him, including envoys from various countries. They all went openly and honestly. The Shang Chaozong was publicly consecrated by the imperial court of Yan State. He was not a traitor, and no one could say anything. This is the benefit of status.
It is second that all forces come to congratulate him on his promotion to the governor of Nanzhou, and it is true that he contacts and establishes contact with the Shang Dynasty clan.
As for Feng Lingbo, who was previously favored by all forces, he has been forgotten...
In Beizhou Governor's Mansion, Shao Sansheng walked into the study and walked to Shao Pingbo, who was writing at his desk and remained silent.
Shao Pingbo didn't even raise his head, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Shao Sansheng: "I locked myself in the study all day and didn't come out."
Shao Pingbo's pen stopped for a moment, and he continued to write another word. Fang put the pen aside, slowly put his hands on the table, and was silent for a long time.
He knew why his father was bored in his room. News came from Yan State's Nanzhou, and after learning that the Shang Dynasty had risen to dominate Nanzhou, his father's mood felt a little wrong.
He knew that his father had always been brooding about what happened back then, and had always believed that he had betrayed Prince Ning. Now that Prince Ning's son had once again represented the power of Prince Ning's line, his father was probably stimulated and felt guilty again.
Shao Sansheng also understood this and asked: "Master, do you want to go and persuade me?"
Shao Pingbo shook his head.
Shao Sansheng wondered: "It's really strange. Jinzhou would actually support the Shang Chaozong at the critical moment. I don't know what Wandong Tianfu thinks, otherwise what would happen to the Shang Chaozong."
Shao Pingbo sneered, "Don't you understand it yet? Wandong Tianfu was threatened by Niu Youdao before sending troops. Otherwise, whoever sits on Nanzhou will lose nothing and there is no need to take such a big risk. This also proves that
This thing... that a ghost doctor disciple cured Xiao Tianzhen is all nonsense, it was clearly the Chiyang Zhuguo stolen by Niu Youdao that played a role."
Shao Sansheng's eyebrows twitched violently, showing a look of sudden realization, and suddenly whispered: "Why not secretly leak this matter?"
"Secretly?" Shao Pingbo squinted: "You think it was revealed secretly that Niu Youdao didn't know it was me? No matter what happens to me, the first thing I suspect is Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao also
The same is true. No matter what happens to him, I will immediately become his first suspect. Do you still expect Niu Youdao to hide it for me after he falls into the hands of Bingxue Pavilion? He will definitely take advantage of me back then.
The matter of Bingxue Pavilion was brought up to support me. If I hadn't been convinced that I wouldn't dare to leak the secret, do you think he would dare to do this?"
"..." Shao Sansheng was speechless, and then became confused, "So, don't we have to help him keep secrets forever?"
Shao Pingbo's eyes fell on the writing brush resting aside, and he let out a sigh of relief, "This beast is far-sighted and has the ability to change clouds and rain. It will definitely become a big problem for me in the future! Zongwen of the Shang Dynasty had Lanruo Pavilion, Wu had Mengshan Ming, and he had
This beast helps counselors solve the troubles in the world of cultivation. It is truly a powerful force that makes people enviable! Shao is very thirsty for talents. The situation in Beizhou has been decided, but there are still no talents to join him..."
Shao Sansheng felt sad. The reason for this was probably because the eldest son's reputation was ruined by Niu Youdao.
…
Outside the small wooden house in the mountain, Niu Youdao was lying on a deck chair and taking a nap in the sun, while Yuan Gang held a shower head and carefully watered a pot of black peonies.
When I left Maolu Villa, I didn’t take anything with me, but I took this pot of black peonies with me. Year after year, the flowers faded and bloomed again.
Guan Fangyi arrived calmly while shaking her round fan, walked to the rocking chair and pushed hard, snickering.
Niu Youdao, who was shaking violently, opened his eyes and woke up, and said slowly, "Naughty!"
Why does this sound like you are talking about a child? Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand to support the rocking chair, and said in a voice: "There is a letter from the old man in Jinzhou."
Niu Youdao: "The Jinzhou troops have withdrawn?"
Guan Fangyi said "hmm", "Wandong Tianfu asked Lao Ba to send a message and ask for Xiao Tianzhen, but Hai Ruyue hinted that Lao Ba should not send Xiao Tianzhen back."
Niu Youdao: "How to say it?"
Guan Fangyi: "Wandong Tianfu has put Hai Ruyue under house arrest. Hai Ruyue finally met Lao Ba and gave him a hint. Wandong Tianfu took control of Hai Ruyue and forced Hai Ruyue to order the adjustment of military and political manpower. See
The intention of Wandong Tianfu seems to be to abandon the Xiao family, to reorganize the worldly power in Jinzhou, and to replace it with a new group of people. I don’t know what Wandong Tianfu means by starting such a big war."
She didn't know what it meant, but Niu Youdao knew that Wandong Tianfu couldn't be controlled by others forever, and the evidence must be destroyed. Hai Ruyue definitely didn't want Xiao Tianzhen sent back now. If Xiao Tianzhen couldn't go back, Hai Ruyue might still have a way to survive.
Once Xiao Tianzhen goes back, both mother and son will die.
Niu Youdao said casually: "Send a message to Wandong Tianfu. As agreed, Xiao Tianzhen can be sent back only after the prince has completely taken control of Nanzhou."
Guan Fangyi hummed, and then asked strangely: "Since Wandong Tianfu wants to eliminate the power of the Xiao family, why is it so anxious to ask for Xiao Tianzhen? If the Xiao family is no longer needed, does it matter whether Xiao Tianzhen comes back or not?"
Niu Youdao said indifferently: "The devil knows what they are planning."
Guan Fangyi looked suspicious, a little suspicious that Niu Youdao was not telling the truth.
She felt that there must be something wrong with this Xiao Tianzhen, otherwise how could Xiao Tianzhen coerce Wandong Tianfu to take such a big risk, plus Wandong Tianfu's abnormal behavior this time.
Suspicions are suspicions. After following Niu Youdao for so long, I know that there is no point in asking Niu Youdao if he doesn't want to say it. Asking is also in vain. He changed the topic and asked happily: "I heard that Nanzhou Fucheng is lively nowadays.
Envoys from various countries and various forces have sent people to congratulate the prince on his promotion. It must be that the prince will soon take control of Nanzhou. Shouldn't we also prepare to enter Nanzhou? "
Although the time in the mountains is peaceful and leisurely, she is a person who can't stand the life in the mountains and forests. She prefers the prosperity of the colorful world. Thinking about it, she can tell that the prosperity of Nanzhou Fucheng is definitely not comparable to that of the countryside in Qingshan County. She has long been itchy.
.
Niu Youdao lay with his head tilted and looked at her, half-smiling but not smiling.
Guan Fangyi immediately covered her face with a fan and said coquettishly: "Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
Niu Youdao said cheerfully: "I've seen beauties before, but never such a beautiful one."
"Haha..." Guan Fangyi immediately burst out laughing, but after catching a glimpse of Yuan Gang's disgusted look, she stopped laughing. She coughed dryly and muttered something to herself, probably not Yuan Gang.
What nice words.
After being in contact for a period of time, she had to admit that Yuan Gang was attracted to her. She had intended to give Yuan Gang a chance. Unexpectedly, Yuan Gang didn't understand the amorous feelings and even sent her a tough sentence, "Old woman!"
As soon as these words came out, Guan Fangyi was really hurt. From then on, Yuan Gang didn't like her anymore.
It's not just her who doesn't like Yuan Gang, Yuan Gang also doesn't like her.
Putting his hands on the armrests, Niu Youdao left the recliner and stood up. He walked to the edge of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looked at the distant mountains, and said leisurely: "The incident in Changping City exposed a problem. Our emergency response capabilities are too poor."
"So?" Guan Fangyi followed and asked.
Niu Youdao: "Of course we have to learn from each other's strengths to offset our weaknesses."
Guan Fangyi: "What's the supplement?"
Niu Youdao turned back to look at her and smiled brightly, "It's really troublesome to travel long distances for something. Should we also get a few bird mounts to keep as backup?"
"Bird mounts? How many more are there?" Guan Fangyi was stunned. She subconsciously took a step back and stayed away from him. She said warily: "I can tell you, I have no money, so don't try to take my idea."
"You and Lao Xiong are really a perfect match." Niu Youdao raised his chin towards Yuan Fang, who was walking by with his sleeves swinging at the foot of the mountain, "Don't worry, I won't let you pay. Are you interested in taking a trip to Song Dynasty with me?"
There should be no shortage of these things in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. If we get acquainted with them, maybe they can give us a few."
"How many will I give you? You are so beautiful, you should think this thing is cabbage..." Guan Fangyi was stunned mid-sentence. She seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly looked back and looked at the pot of black peonies next to the wooden house, her expression changed.
Su turned around again and said in a deep voice: "Master, you are not looking for the person named Chao, are you? I can tell you that the person named Chao is more dangerous than Tianyumen, and we can't afford to offend him."
When she escaped from Qi, after Black Mudan was seriously injured and died on the ship, she heard the conversation between Niu Youdao and Duan Hu. Niu Youdao asked who was the person who insulted Black Mudan in the early years, and Duan Hu answered
The person is the important person named Chao from Wanshou Sect.
Now Niu Youdao suddenly mentioned that he was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Gate in the Song Dynasty, which immediately reminded her and she had to be vigilant.
Niu Youdao: "You think too much. It's not the time to find trouble now. I can still run into you and try to kill you. The purpose is just to mount the bird, there is no other intention."
Guan Fangyi said suspiciously: "Really?"
Niu Youdao: "Really, are you going?"
"No!" Guan Fangyi refused with a firm attitude.
…
Time flies by half a year later.
In thatched cottage, Shang Shuqing, wearing a purple cloak, stood on the attic of the cottage and looked into the distance.
After more than half a year of purges and rectifications, the secular power of Nanzhou has been completely in the hands of Shang Chaozong. However, Niu Youdao still has no trace. He only communicates through letters occasionally and has no intention of returning to Shang Chaozong. So
Shang Shuqing returned here to check.
According to the three factions guarding here, Niu Youdao has never come back.
The three sects have also been waiting here for Niu Youdao, and the wait is very painful...
In the wooden house, Niu Youdao soaked in the steaming tub.
Someone knocked on the door and then pushed the door open directly. It was Yuan Gang.
Niu Youdao, who squinted his eyes, asked lightly, "Has Wandong Tianfu received someone?"
As promised, Xiao Tianzhen was sent back.
Yuan Gang agreed and said in a solemn tone: "You should know that once he goes back, both mother and son may have no chance of survival."
Niu Youdao: "You should also know that there are some things that I have no choice but to care about. Some people must disappear. If Wandong Tianfu doesn't kill them, I will kill them. I am not a gentleman. You and I
There is no point in saying this. Okay, let’s pack up and get ready, and when Lao Ba comes back from Jinzhou, we’ll set off.”
