After she left, Feng Lingbo, who was wandering and thinking in the room for a while, turned around and said hello, "Here comes someone!"
A servant came in. He pointed to the secret letter on the desk and said, "Send it to Niu Youdao!"
"Yes!" The servant took the secret letter and left.
Niu Youdao temporarily settled in the guest courtyard of the prefect's mansion, and was guarded by someone.
Under the lamp, Niu Youdao took the secret letter and read it several times. Wang Heng? He didn't know who Wang Heng was. He didn't know him or heard of him, but he judged from the content when he was sent to the capital.
Apart from the Song family, he has offended no one else. It is not difficult to guess who wants to harm him.
This was nothing. He had already expected revenge from the Song family. It was not surprising. What made him interesting was that Feng Lingbo showed this secret letter to him. There were many meanings in it, and naturally it meant to scare him.
.
"I guess the Song family already knows. It seems that Tang Susu didn't fool the Song family. Mrs. Tang is afraid that she shot herself in the foot!" Niu Youdao handed the secret letter to Yuan Gang who was standing aside.
After reading it repeatedly, Yuan Gang asked: "Who is Wang Heng?"
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly: "I don't know, it must be related to the Song family. Someone who can communicate with Feng Lingbo in such a tone is probably not low in status. You should be able to find out who he is by just asking."
Yuan Gang was silent for a while, and then suddenly tried to ask, "If the Song family takes revenge on the Shangqing Sect, will that Tang Yi be implicated?"
Niu Youdao's eyelids drooped slightly, "Is this important?"
Yuan Gang fell silent and stopped talking. He handed the paper in his hand to the candle and burned it...
The night in the mountains is extremely desolate. White flags on bamboo poles are gently fluttering in the wind. There are bonfires beside new graves. Shang Shuqing is sitting on the ground playing the piano. The sound of the piano is quiet and sad.
This person has passed away, so we pay tribute to him with the sound of the piano.
Shang Chaozong stood beside him with his hands folded, looking at the shadows under the moonlight. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He recalled that in those days, his family had infinite scenery. In a blink of an eye, he was so depressed that he was as panicked as a bereaved dog. Those years in the dark sky prison are unforgettable.
, sometimes even like a nightmare.
All the sudden changes and misfortunes have been faced head-on. He doesn't resent anyone. If he wants to complain, he only blames himself for his incompetence. What's more, he is confused and confused about the uncertain future.
The little sister playing the piano in front of me is extremely intelligent, gentle, virtuous, well-educated, proficient in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, but she was forced by life to be strong and brave. She was originally a lady from a famous family, and she often held books and calligraphy in her hands, but now she has a low waist.
Hanging a sword, wandering around on horseback with a group of men, not afraid of hardships, never complaining, but always comforting and encouraging his brother. Regardless of the bad spots on her face, no matter what point of view, the sister should be
She is a good woman who is hard to find in the world, but she missed this life because of her incompetence as an elder brother and her inability to shoulder the heavy burden. She is unworthy of the spirit of her parents in heaven.
Looking at the surrounding woods, the personal guards who appeared for him overtly or covertly were all veterans on the battlefield. Even if they could not see the future and the bright future, they still abandoned their families and followed him, following him to pursue the unknown future.
He knew that he benefited from his father's legacy, but this made him more and more uneasy. He was afraid of letting these people down, and he didn't know where he could lead them. He could only keep telling himself, move forward, move forward!
But the future is slim. Pretending to follow Niu Youdao's wishes here does not make him feel at ease. In fact, it is Niu Youdao's specious behavior that makes him feel unsure.
The night is long, looking at the night sky, every night, I am looking forward to the arrival of dawn...
As the night passed, the morning light bloomed. In the simple hut next to the tomb, Shang Chaozong was taking a nap while leaning against his clothes. The sound of hurried footsteps made him suddenly wake up. He subconsciously reached out to grab the knife beside him. When he looked up, he saw that it was
own people.
One of the guards handed over his hand and reported: "Your Majesty, there are several people outside the temple. They say they are people from the prefect's mansion in Guangxi County, and they say they are here from Master Tongrong."
Invited by Niu Youdao? Shang Chaozong was refreshed. Niu Youdao had previously asked this party to delay for a few days, but he didn't expect that news would come out after just one day.
He suddenly stood up, but one of his legs was numb from being crossed for too long, making him a little unsteady. He stamped his feet several times to clear his meridians, and then he strode out.
After a while, Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing led a group of people quickly to the mountain.
The reason why they all stayed next to the graves at the foot of the mountain was because if they followed Niu Youdao, they were pretending to mourn the souls of the dead, but if they followed Niu Youdao, they were just treating a dead horse as a living horse.
Shounian led four people to wait outside the gate of Nanshan Temple. When he saw Shang Chaozong and others going up the mountain, he was still wondering, what is the point of living in the mountains and forests if there is no house to live in?
Because Shang Shuqing was a woman, she often stayed in the boudoir in her early years and did not know Shounian. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, but they knew Shounian. When King Ning was still in charge of the Yan Kingdom's troops, every time
Quang Ngai County also sends people to deliver gifts during the New Year holidays, and the one who comes most often on behalf of Feng Lingbo is Shounian, the steward of the Feng family, who is the one in front of me.
The two of them were a little surprised that it was Feng Lingbo's housekeeper who came in person.
Seeing the people coming, Shounian smiled, held his sword in his hands and said, "I have met the prince and Mr. Lan. This must be the princess. I am polite."
Shang Shuqing put her hands together and returned the salute. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting clasped their fists in a gesture. Lan Ruoting put down his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Shou, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style remains the same."
At the end of his life, he smiled gently and said, "Mr. Lan, thank you for the award."
Lan Ruoting: "Brother Shou was invited by Niu Youdao?"
Shounian nodded: "I was ordered to come here to protect the prince..." He was a little confused when he said this, "Isn't Niu Youdao sent by the prince to meet the prefect?"
"Uh... Exactly. I wonder where Niu Youdao is now?" Lan Ruoting smiled and nodded, a little vague. It was really that Niu Youdao's behavior made people very helpless, and he didn't explain anything clearly.
We don't know what Niu Youdao talked to Feng Lingbo, how they talked about it, and what the outcome was. They are afraid that if they say the wrong thing, something bad will happen.
It is really hard to believe that Feng Lingbo can lend troops to the Shang Dynasty. But looking at Shounian's attitude, it seems that it has really happened. Is it possible? Feng Lingbo really dared to intervene in this matter? What the hell is that Niu Youdao didn't
When they came back, they didn't even send anyone who knew what to say, making it difficult for them to ask questions.
"Niu Youdao is temporarily resting in the prefect's mansion to wait for the prince. Your prince, this barren mountain and wild land may be dangerous, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Please follow me back to the county town first. The rescuers sent by the prefect are already on the way.
May we meet." Shounian made a gesture of reaching out to invite him.
It's very difficult here. I don't know whether to go or not. Lan Ruoting thought for a moment and was about to talk. Suddenly someone came running down the mountain. It was the bodyguard Niu Youdao sent back to spread the word. Lan Ruoting and others
The spirit perked up at the sight.
Here, Shounian was asked to wait, and the bodyguard who had returned from the journey was pulled aside. Lan Ruoting couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any news about the Master's return?"
The guard nodded repeatedly and said: "The master said that great things can be expected and are very certain. He asked the prince to go back with the people from Guangyi County. It is not convenient for him to come over for the time being. He will wait for the prince in the county town!"
A sure shot? The three of them were excited when they heard this. Did they really borrow troops? It’s unbelievable. Oh my God, I really don’t know how Niu Youdao did it!
Shang Shuqing's bright eyes were shining brightly under her veil. Shang Chaozong fisted his hands in excitement, as if he saw a ray of light in the dark.
Lan Ruoting excitedly asked with concern: "How are you doing, Master? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
The soldier said: "The master is well and the marriage proposal went smoothly!"
"Uh..." Lan Ruoting was stunned and blinked, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Asking for marriage?" Shang Chaozong was confused, "What kind of marriage are you seeking?"
Shang Shuqing's expression under the veil was also astonished. Is she asking for marriage?
"Isn't the prince going to marry the daughter of the prefect of Guangxi County?" the guard asked confusedly. He thought that Niu Youdao's actions were arranged by the prince. Now seeing the reaction of the prince and others, why does it feel different?
Shang Chaozong pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Is this king marrying Feng Lingbo's daughter?"
The guard nodded dumbly, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be asking, isn't it?
Shang Chaozong asked again: "Dharma Master said this?"
Guard: "The master has already done this. The bride price has been given to the Feng family, and he announced in public that the prince is going to marry Feng Lingbo's daughter."
Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, why do they feel that this matter is a bit chaotic?
Shang Chaozong confirmed again in disbelief: "Should I marry Feng Lingbo's daughter? Which daughter of Feng Lingbo should I marry?"
The guard realized that this was a big problem and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, does Feng Lingbo have a few more daughters? Of course...of course..." He remembered the situation when several people were guarding the bride price outside the prefect's mansion.
, Feng Ruonan came angrily, and after several people saw Feng Ruonan's appearance with their own eyes, they seemed to sigh at the prince.
"Feng Ruonan? Shall I marry Feng Ruonan?" Shang Chaozong's eyes widened. How did borrowing troops turn into marrying Feng Ruonan? He said in a daze, "How is this possible? When you said great things can be expected, this is what you are sure of?"
"..." The guard was speechless and nodded slowly, indicating yes.
Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting were also a little confused, marrying Feng Ruonan? Why did this seem even more unreliable than borrowing troops from Feng Lingbo? How could Feng Lingbo marry his daughter, one of the generals of Guangxi County, to Shang
Chaozong?
Lan Ruoting pointed at the guard and said, "What exactly happened? Please tell me the details of what happened."
"After we arrived in Quang Guang County, we stopped at an inn. The Master immediately ordered us to find out where Feng Lingbo and Feng Ruonan were..." The guard detailed the situation of arriving in Quang Guang County, how we found out the information, and what happened to Niu Youdao.
After going to the military camp, I got a box of gold coins from the military camp, how they purchased the betrothal gifts, how they delivered them to the prefect's mansion, how Yuan Gang announced the good news in public, and how Yuan Gang and Niu Youdao went to court after entering the prefect's mansion.
External message delivery, etc.
The three of them were completely speechless after hearing this. They were not going to borrow troops. Judging from the pace of their arrival in the county, it was clear that they were going directly to propose marriage.
"What nonsense!" Shang Chaozong was angry, his face suddenly turning red and white.
