The three heads were overjoyed and politely said a few words. At the same time, they also presented gifts and asked two people to be brought over.
A miserable man was dragged into the villa by two disciples of Liuxian Sect and knelt down in front of Niu Youdao. It was Song Shu.
The other one followed, Chen Guishuo, who was a little worried.
He was not captured. After delivering the letter to the three major sects, he was ordered to return and wait here.
Song Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Niu Youdao and made some guesses, but he had never seen Niu Youdao. He asked, "Are you Niu Youdao?"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "It's me! I've never met you, but I'm familiar with your son."
Seeing that the man in front of him had indeed killed his son, his second brother, and the guy who killed all his family members, Song Shu immediately struggled and roared: "Dog thief!"
"How dare you speak so harshly!" Fei Changliu snorted coldly and tilted his head to indicate that the two Liuxian Sect disciples were about to give him some punishment.
On the contrary, Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop him.
Song Shu turned back to stare at the three heads and cursed angrily: "You will die a bad death if you betray your master!"
Xia Hua sneered, "Back to the master? You really take your Song family seriously. Isn't this a world of monks?"
Niu Youdao didn't take Song Shu seriously. He looked at the somewhat reserved Chen Guishuo and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work over the years and you have done well. Shao Pingbo is not easy to fool. He should have guessed the problem as soon as it happened.
Where are you? You can't go back to Shao Pingbo, so you can practice here with peace of mind from now on."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Guishuo thanked him with his hands.
Song Shu turned back to look at him and scolded again, "I'm so blind that I trust you so much. Have I ever treated you badly in these years? Has my conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Chen Guishuo immediately retorted: "Song Shu, you, a man who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, how dare you show your conscience?"
Song Shu wanted to curse again, but the disciple who had been signaled by Fei Changliu silenced him.
Fei Changliu asked Niu Youdao: "Master Dao, how should we deal with this man?"
It is one thing to bring people to Niu Youdao and ask how to deal with them, but it is also to remind Niu Youdao not to forget their contributions.
Chen Guishuo cupped his hands again and said, "Master Tao, I am willing to kill this thief myself!"
The sword held by Niu Youdao's hands slowly shook twice. He stared at Song Shu for a while and suddenly said lightly: "The murderer of the Song family has been caught. He sent someone to escort him to the capital and handed it over to the court for disposal.
Bar."
Chen Guishuo became a little anxious when he heard this. He was afraid of being retaliated by Song Shu, "Master Dao, Song Jiuming has quite a lot of connections in the capital. I'm afraid that if he is taken to the capital..."
Niu Youdao interrupted: "Okay, let's do it like this. I don't like to fight and kill, and I don't like to commit crimes and be stained with blood."
Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao frowned when they heard this. They were somewhat disapproving of the words, but they still followed his words and were dragged off.
Song Shu, who was dragged away, walked backwards and stared at this side, still unwilling to accept it, feeling deeply resentful. He never thought that such a big Song family would be ruined by a small person from the Shangqing Sect. If he had known this, he would have been killed.
He should have been killed earlier, but there was no regret medicine.
However, Niu Youdao didn't even look at him.
Zheng Jiuxiao still hesitated to remind him, "Master Dao, this little brother is right. There are still some of Song Jiu Ming's disciples in the capital. If he escapes, I'm afraid he will try his best to get revenge."
Niu Youdao said calmly: "Don't be too awesome as a person. Take him to the capital and see what happens to him."
There was no need for him to tell a few people about his true thoughts. A mere Song Shu was not a concern to him. Does he still need to have trouble with the Song family now? Killing Song Shu would not make him happy at all.
Anyone in the Yan Kingdom's court who is not stupid will probably know by now that Niu Youdao is the mastermind behind the Song family's annihilation. He is now taking Song Shu to the capital as the murderer, just to use Song Shu's name
It's just a matter of fate to test the current Yan court's attitude towards this side.
In the past, he killed the envoy of Yan and used the Ice and Snow Pavilion to scare Yan Ting, which could only frighten him for a while. After what happened here, how could Yan Ting not see the clues?
It actually didn’t take long for Shang Chaozong to take over the Nanzhou territory from Zhou Shouxian, and the aftermath is still there.
The Yan court was unwilling to give up Nanzhou, especially Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong.
Fortunately, others say that Shang Jianbo's son has occupied Nanzhou and has the potential to become powerful. Shang Jianxiong is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating.
There were various reasons for not moving to Nanzhou before. Shang Chaozong was appointed by the imperial court and was the legitimate governor of Nanzhou. Shang Jianxiong could not slap himself in the face immediately, he could only endure it for the time being. Secondly, Yan Ting was not deaf or blind.
Knowing about the fight between them and Tianyumen, Yan Ting was probably sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and waiting for an opportunity to take action.
It is estimated that Yan Ting did not expect Tianyumen to be kicked out in this way, and his plan was shattered.
Now the three major factions have directly intervened in the affairs of Nanzhou and Beizhou. The two states are still in the process of handover and replacement. In order to successfully get back Beizhou, Yan Ting will not act rashly for the time being.
But what happens after these things are over? I’m afraid a storm is coming!
In the final analysis, the previous battles and various disturbances were all about him and Shang Chaozong trying to secure this territory.
Now that Nanzhou's internal affairs were settled, he also seized the favorable opportunity to quickly eliminate some constraints and curry favor with the three major factions by taking back Beizhou.
After fighting the outside world and making peace inside, his eyes quickly turned to the Yan State Court. This was the biggest threat to Nanzhou at present. He could not wait until the Yan State Court took action and then react passively.
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Fei, Xia and Zheng had no choice but to give up.
Now this person has accumulated enough prestige for the three factions.
Prestige is not created by red lips and white teeth, but by the sufficient deterrent effect produced by facts. In the original Nanzhou dispute, if Niu Youdao had the prestige now, how could the three factions dare to sit on the wall and sway.
Ignoring Song Shu's matter, Niu Youdao had other plans for the three factions.
First of all, let the three sects select some capable female disciples to take care of Zhuang Hong's daily life. Regardless of whether they are hostages or not, they are Yu Cang's younger siblings and they are women. It is not convenient for men to take care of them, so women are more suitable.
Secondly, Guo Xingshan will not be allowed to live in the villa, but at the foot of the mountain. The three sects will send some disciples to take turns keeping an eye on it. Guo Xingshan is allowed to come to the villa to visit Zhuang Hong's mother and son once a day.
The three leaders are curious, why?
Without any reason, Niu Youdao asked them to do it.
Speaking of taking care of her, Xia Hua suddenly smiled and said: "Master Tao, I have a female disciple who is quite smart. Basically, you are here with men and there are no women who are careful. You also need an attentive woman to take care of you in your daily life."
, If Master Dao has no objection, I will let her come to your place to do some odd jobs."
Fei and Zheng's eyes met, and they roughly knew who the female disciple Xia Hua was talking about was, a female disciple who was as beautiful as a flower.
It is estimated that even if Xia Hua doesn't say anything to the female disciple, Ping Niu Youdao's current conditions will still be attractive enough.
And Niu Youdao is young, and there are not many women around him. If he really wants to stay with a beautiful woman for a long time, the two of them will get involved sooner or later.
Niu Youdao said calmly: "No need to bother."
Xia Hua chuckled and said, "Master Dao, you might as well take a look at the person first. He doesn't look unpleasant, and his hands and feet are diligent."
Niu Youdao sighed: "Not to mention good looks, the matchmaker is a jealous person."
This was tantamount to admitting that she was having an affair with Guan Fangyi. Xia Hua smiled and had no choice but to give up. Guan Fangyi was Niu Youdao's confidant and it was really hard to offend her.
Niu is wise and not stupid, he knows it well and doesn't expose it.
As someone who has been there, I also know that at this age it is easy for me to get into love affairs, and I will inevitably meet some matchmakers.
However, the ripples in his heart would no longer easily ripple towards others. He had already calmed down and did not want to cause trouble or offend a group of well-meaning people. The matchmaker naturally became his shield. In the past, he used Black Peony as a shield.
With such a shield, basically no one would mention anything about men and women to him anymore. His reputation was ruined by the matchmaker. If anyone still mentioned it, it would be with evil intentions.
Speaking of Black Peony, after the heads of the three sects left, Niu Youdao left the villa and went to the tomb under the tree on the nearby hilltop. He pulled out a few weeds casually, put his pestle and sword beside him, and turned his back to the tomb to look into the distance.
"What are you thinking about?" Guan Fangyi didn't know when she arrived beside him.
I don't know that I just acted as a shield, and I don't know that I have always been Niu Youdao's shield.
"The scenery is nice." Niu Youdao said casually.
"Exactly, it's a poor place." Guan Fangyi said disdainfully, and she always had nothing good to say about this place. "By the way, these three sects have swayed towards Tianyumen, will they sway towards Dachan Mountain again?
Having learned from past mistakes, can you rest assured?"
Niu Youdao: "No one can be selfish. They all have choices. They are responsible for the consequences of their choices. Who they choose is a matter of their own vision. If we cannot keep them, it means that the problem lies with us. It is our own problem.
No one else is to blame."
"If you say it, you haven't said it." Guan Fangyi sneered, and then said: "The prince has written a letter and learned that the people in the villa are back. It is estimated that we will also come back. Ask us when we will arrive and prepare to see you."
Niu Youdao: "Reply and tell him that there is no need to bother. Huang Lie should go to Fucheng to meet him soon, and I have to meet him too. In addition, the prince should have some contacts in the capital and some informants.
, let the prince pay attention to the court's reaction after Song Shu is escorted to the capital, and the situation will be reported to me here in time. Let Gongsun Bu inform the informants in the capital to pay close attention to it."
Guan Fangyi's heart tightened, "What do you want to do again?"
…
A few days later, Niu Youdao was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the house. Duan Hu knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Master Tao, Peng Yulan is here and wants to see you."
Niu Youdao frowned, "Peng Yulan? Why did she come to see me?" Was her first reaction to come for revenge?
Duan Hu: "I don't know, there are only two people around me, and their attitude is a bit weird."
"Weird? What kind of weird method?"
"I can't explain clearly. I wonder if it's my misunderstanding. I feel that my attitude is a bit humble."
Niu Youdao was puzzled. No matter what, he still wanted to meet and see what he was doing.
After meeting people in the pavilion where guests were entertained, Niu Youdao also sighed secretly. He knew that Peng Yulan's cultivation had been ruined, but he didn't expect that he had aged so much.
His attitude was indeed very humble. After a few words, he understood the other party's intention, and Niu Youdao fell silent.
Under Peng Yulan's eager eyes, Niu Youdao slowly raised his gaze, glanced at Shounian, the Feng family's butler who was standing behind Peng Yulan, and asked lukewarmly, "Butler Shou, do you still remember that you are still here?"
