Regarding this statement, Huang Lie was noncommittal. He just laughed and did not express his agreement. When people encountered danger and avoided danger, he could not directly object to it. He was ready to go back and discuss with everyone in Dachan Mountain how to deal with it.
Yuan Gang stood aside and watched with cold eyes. No matter what the other party's attitude was, there was one thing that Yuan Gang himself had to lament.
Things have changed. The situation has really changed. In the past, how could Dao Master talk to Peng Zai from Tianyumen like this? If Peng Zai didn't want to agree, he would definitely refuse directly. There is no room for negotiation. Now
Facing Huang Lie, whose strength was not inferior to that of Peng Youzai, Huang Lie had to consider Tao Ye's words. It was unlikely that he would be as strong as Peng Youzai before.
After these years of management, Mr. Dao finally has the confidence to speak in Nanzhou, and he no longer has to be too tolerant.
After Huang Lie and others left, Niu Youdao, who was returning from seeing off the guests, saw Shang Shuqing walking with Yin'er.
The latter had a smile on his face, a slightly ferocious smile, but his bright eyes were shining. They said goodbye to each other in the city, and finally saw each other again.
Yin'er was not as reserved as her, so he came over and called out kindly, "Daodao, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Niu Youdao glanced at the food box she was holding, feeling a bit toothache, and replied with a smile: "I went out to do errands."
"I want to go too!" Yin'er said firmly.
Niu Youdao knew that she meant to take her with him in the future, so he smiled and neither agreed nor refused.
Seeing him smile, Yin'er immediately thought he had agreed. She took out a greasy chicken leg from the food box and handed it to you, "Here it is for you to eat!"
Most people would not try to steal her food. The person she is willing to take the initiative to share her food with must be someone who has won her favor.
"I'm full." Niu Youdao blocked it back. He really had no interest in sharing the food she grabbed. It was disgusting!
"Master Dao!" Shang Shuqing also came over to say hello, her eyes as tender as water, and then turned to say hello to others.
"Princess." Several people also greeted her.
Niu Youdao looked at Yin'er again and said, "I heard that the princess and Yin'er get along very well and teach her a lot every day?"
Shang Shuqing smiled and said, "I have nothing to do. Girl Yin'er is very simple and I like her very much."
Before she could truly understand Yin'er's attitude towards other people, Guan Fangyi's eyelids twitched twice and she secretly cursed, "This demon king is simple? You haven't seen how scary she is, have you?"
But when she heard the news, she was also surprised. This demon king could actually get along with the gentle princess?
Simple? Niu Youdao smiled, a little embarrassed and hard to explain.
At this time, a man in colorful clothes who happened to be walking alone in Maolu Villa came. The moment he saw Shang Shuqing, his pupils suddenly shrank. He stood not far away and stared at Shang Shuqing's face for a long time...
The Dachanshan people left here and returned to the guest house where they stayed.
Not caring about anything else, Huang Lie and several elders who came with him gathered together in the courtyard. Without saying much, they directly asked for advice, "You also heard what Niu Youdao said. He wants to move into the Governor's Mansion. What do you think?
"
"At the beginning, when we took over Nanzhou, it was because of the sudden intervention of the three major sects that the Tianyu Sect was caught off guard. We were able to successfully capture the Shang Chao Sect. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Tianyu Sect to hand over the people so easily.
We will not have a smooth handover in Nanzhou."
"Yes, Niu Youdao is a man with many tricks. If Niu Youdao and Shang Chaozong are to live together, if Niu Youdao has any objections, Shang Chaozong will wear a pair of trousers with Niu Youdao to protect him for a while.
You can’t guard against it for a long time, and I’m afraid it will be impossible to guard against it after a long time!”
"I also think it's inappropriate. Who knows if he has hooked up with other sects outside. His influence on Nanzhou is already great. We have to seize control of Nanzhou. He said he would stay temporarily, but who knows?
How long will he stay temporarily? If he doesn't leave, will he fall out directly? It won't be good for us to turn Nanzhou upside down."
Several elders discussed it one after another, and their attitudes were very clear. They were not willing to see Niu Youdao move to the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion.
Huang Lie muttered: "But he said that he is in danger and wants to go to Fucheng for safety. If he doesn't agree, we want him to die. It's hard to refuse!"
"In danger? That's what he said! If the imperial court really attacked him, would he be able to escape so easily? Look at him, he's fine, he doesn't look like anything is wrong."
"Actually, there are ways to deal with it. Isn't it just to avoid danger? You can come to our Dazenshan Sect! We can just provide him with shelter. Isn't it safer than being in Fucheng? If he refuses, doesn't it mean that he has selfish motives?
?Besides, when others are in our hands, there are some things we can completely decide according to the situation!" The last sentence in the words is profound.
As soon as these words came out, everyone applauded, and Huang Lie also nodded, "Very good, I will respond to him like this later!"
Early the next morning, Shang Shuqing appeared outside Niu Youdao's room and waited, silently wandering with her head down, her hands and fingers a little tangled. She hadn't done combing her hair for a long time, and she didn't know Niu Youdao's current attitude.
Guan Fangyi, who twisted her waist and emerged from the corner, saw Shang Shuqing in the courtyard. She was stunned for a moment, then backed away slightly and turned away.
The door to the room opened, and Niu Youdao appeared. His eyes met Shang Shuqing in the yard, then he smiled gently and nodded, "Where's Yin'er?"
"Still sleeping." Shang Shuqing replied. Seeing that he turned around without any abnormality, she breathed a sigh of relief and then stepped forward into the house.
Niu Youdao first opened all the windows in the room, as if to avoid suspicion, and then took the initiative to sit in front of the dressing table.
As before, Shang Shuqing's method of combing her hair is still so considerate, which is truly a pleasure for passive people.
After a while, Niu Youdao suddenly asked: "Princess, what kind of husband are you planning to find in the future?"
Shang Shuqing's hands trembled slightly, then she continued to move and said softly: "I'm so ugly, who can like me?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said: "Last time Meng Shuai and I talked, I found out that the birthmark on your face is related to Dongguo Haoran. Don't worry, I will contact the people of Qingzong when I have the chance and let them find a way to pay you back like flowers."
With her beauty, the princess’s ideal husbands will naturally line up to ask for her hand in marriage.”
"Is appearance really that important?" Shang Shuqing stopped moving her hands, looked at the man in the mirror, and tried to ask: "I wonder what kind of beauty my future lover will be?"
"Me?" Niu Youdao said calmly: "As a practitioner, I have ups and downs, and I can't help myself. I don't know if I will have a future. Some things are not suitable for me. It is not necessarily a bad thing to walk alone."
Shang Shuqing fell silent, stopped talking, and continued combing.
Bang! Niu Youdao, who was silent, suddenly slapped his thigh, "I'm so confused, why did I forget that he was also from the Shangqing Sect!"
Shang Shuqing was confused, "Who? Chen Guishuo? I've met him before, but he doesn't seem to know."
Niu Youdao waved his hand and said cheerfully: "If everyone knows it, why has it been delayed until now? He has no status in the Shangqing Sect. It is not surprising that he doesn't know. Let's talk about the matter at hand after some time."
Shang Shuqing hummed softly. She was not opposed to restoring her appearance, nor was she impatient.
Before his hair was combed, Duan Hu knocked on the door frame and entered. He first nodded to Shang Shuqing and then reported: "Master Tao, Cao Yu'er, the former head of Feihua Pavilion in Nanzhou, is here and wants to see you."
"I really can't wait..." Niu Youdao muttered slightly, then asked again: "How many people are here?"
Duan Hu: "Two, she also has an accompanying disciple."
Niu Youdao said expressionlessly: "The visitor is a guest, and I have an invitation."
"Yes!" Duan Hu took the order and left.
Hearing that something was going on and not wanting to miss anything, Shang Shuqing immediately speeded up his hands a lot. Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao said slowly: "No hurry!"
Shang Shuqing was slightly startled, but the speed of his hand returned to normal.
Niu Youdao added: "Princess, something may happen here today, and there may be a lot of noise. In order not to scare the snake, I didn't ask anyone to evacuate, for fear of scaring you, you should be mentally prepared first.
Don’t be too afraid.”
Shang Shuqing wanted to ask something, but she was smart and thought of the words 'not to alert the snake', so she didn't ask and said with a smile: "Master Tao, I forgot, although I am a daughter, I have also been on the battlefield.
People can be frightened. What’s more, Master Tao is here. As long as Master Tao is here... I’m not afraid of anything!”
When she said the last sentence, her voice couldn't help but become a little softer. She didn't know how she could not help but say such words. She didn't know if it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long. Her heartbeat was a little accelerated and her cheeks were tingling.
hot.
Niu Youdao slowly closed his eyes, his heart heavy.
In the pavilion and water pavilion, two women stood on the railing waiting for the arrival of the master of this place. The older woman was Cao Yu'er, the head of Feihua Pavilion, and the other was her disciple.
Cao Yu'er, who had been looking around since he entered this place, looked around and said: "I didn't expect that with his current status, he could continue to live in this barren mountain place." The implication is that with Niu Youdao's current conditions, he can definitely find it.
A place with a better environment.
His disciple said something flattering: "Maybe he knows that no matter how good the place is, he can't stay there for long."
Cao Yuer glanced at her coldly, then glanced at Duan Hu who was standing not far away and stared at her. She lowered her voice and said, "Open your eyes later and look carefully. You can't make any mistakes."
His disciple also whispered back: "Master, don't worry, I really saw him in Qijing with my own eyes. As long as it is him, I will never admit his mistake."
After a while, Niu Youdao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes but neatly dressed, came. On the left and right were Yuan Gang and the man in colorful clothes who walked a little casually.
After entering the waterside pavilion, Duan Hu stepped forward and introduced both parties.
When the host and guest took their seats, Cao Yu'er glanced at his disciple, who nodded slightly.
"Master Cao has come to this humble place like Niu. What's the point of doing this?" Niu Youdao asked with a smile, while extending his hand to ask for some tea.
Cao Yu'er had no intention of touching the tea cup, but her attitude was very humble, "I heard that people here call you Taoist Master, so please allow me to respectfully call you Taoist Master."
Niu Youdao waved his hand, "I'm sorry, people here are shouting casually, but they can't be taken seriously."
Cao Yu'er had no intention of changing her words and said bluntly: "When you are polite to others, you must have something to ask for! Master Tao, I am here for nothing else. I really want to ask for something from Master Tao."
