Not to mention, this woman's hand feels good, and the gentleness from her hair makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Niu Youdao closed his eyes and enjoyed it, waiting, guessing that the other party had something to do, and waiting for the other party to say it.
"Master Tao, that Wei Duo is still kneeling outside." Shang Shuqing reminded him.
Niu Youdao said calmly: "The Shangqing Sect wants to kill me! If he likes to kneel, let him kneel!"
Shang Shuqing was silent again, until she helped him tie his hair into a bun, and then spoke up: "If Master Tao needs a quiet place to retreat, we have an absolutely safe place here, at least it has not been exposed to outsiders so far.
Pass."
Niu Youdao said, "Is it here? Where?"
Shang Shuqing: "To be honest with you, the foundation of our brothers and sisters in Canglu County is not only what you see in front of you, but also a secret place!"
"Secret realm?" Niu Youdao slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What kind of secret realm?"
Shang Shuqing: "It's a very important matter. It's not convenient to tell Master Tao about the specific situation now. If Master Tao is willing to go there to practice in seclusion, he will naturally see it when the time comes."
Niu Youdao thought about it for a while and said, "If it can ensure safety, it doesn't hurt to go."
Shang Shuqing: "Okay! Arrange it for Mr. Tao immediately, but you may have to wait a few days to cover it up. Otherwise, if Mr. Tao disappears suddenly, it will be easy for my sister-in-law and others to suspect you."
"It's worth waiting for a few days." Niu Youdao agreed, but after being silent for a while, he asked again: "Were you the one who persuaded the prince and Mr. Lan to let me go to that secret realm to practice in seclusion?"
Shang Shuqing was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how he guessed that that place was of great importance. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting were indeed hesitant to let Niu Youdao go there, and it was indeed her persuasion that convinced her. She did not
Continuing this question, he asked, "Does Master Tao have a hairpin?"
She had already tied Niu Youdao's hair into a bun, only to find that the hairpin was missing.
Seeing that she was avoiding the question, Niu Youdao stopped asking. In fact, he knew very well that he wanted to go to some secret place for retreat. He was still somewhat worried that he would never come back. The crux was not that he could not come back. With Tianyu
With the support of the sect, his role has been weakened. The key is that he confided the major plan to himself before. In addition, he knows the truth about the Hundred Thousand Crow Generals. Once the news is leaked, this place will be destroyed.
If he were a more ruthless person, he would probably have to silence him. However, it would not be easy for Shang Chaozong to kill him quietly. It would also be difficult to borrow the monks from Feng Ruonan's side to kill him. There was no way to kill Feng Ruonan and Tianyumen's side.
Explain, didn't he say that Niu Youdao would be helpful in finding the one hundred thousand crows? There is no legitimate reason to take action, Tianyumen must find out what is going on.
"I never use hairpins, where do you get hairpins?" Niu Youdao smiled.
Shang Shuqing hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and pulled out a more neutral one from her bun, and put her hand on Niu Youdao's bun. When she wasn't going out, she didn't wear a gauze, she only wore it when she was wearing it.
His face was half covered with a gauze scarf.
After looking at the neatly arranged hairstyle, Shang Shuqing asked with a smile: "What do you think, Master Dao?"
"Mirror." Niu Youdao gestured.
Yuan Gang quickly brought over a bronze mirror. Niu Youdao took the bronze mirror, looked at it, and asked Yuan Gang: "What do you think?"
Yuan Gang: "Not bad, I feel a lot more energetic."
The bronze mirror was returned to him. Niu Youdao stood up, turned around, touched his hair and smiled: "The princess has done it with her own hands, and I don't want to let it go."
Shang Shuqing pursed her lips and smiled: "It doesn't matter, if Mr. Tao doesn't mind it, I will do this for you from now on."
Niu Youdao waved his hand, how could he treat the princess as a maid...
In Canglu County, the turmoil after a purge has quickly calmed down. Some families are happy, some are sad, and each family knows that the ordinary people cannot resist the general trend and can only follow the trend.
There is a writing shop called 'Jingmoxuan' on the street. It is the best writing shop in the county. The quality of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the shop is also the best in the county. Jingmoxuan seems to be open as usual.
, but the counter was taken care of by someone else. The former shopkeeper was affected by the recent turmoil and said he had left to avoid the limelight. This is not a special case. Many shop owners seemed to have maintained a similar wait-and-see attitude after witnessing the looting of some shops.
Attitude, hiding and watching.
The new shopkeeper was dressed in plain clothes and had a slim figure. He took a feather duster to dust the furnishings and was careful and conscientious.
The three people wandering on the street walked outside Jingmoxuan, looked up at the signboard, quietly paid attention to their surroundings, and entered the shops one after another.
"Three guests want to order..." The new shopkeeper turned around when he heard the voice. He just said hello, but before he finished speaking, he was stunned when he saw the leader of the three people.
The burly man at the head looked at the furnishings in the shop and slowly approached the new shopkeeper.
The new shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
The man also whispered: "Lu Shengzhong, Wang Heng asked you to avenge Young Master Yanqing. It would be better for you to come here and sell pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Why are you pretending to be elegant?"
As he said, the new shopkeeper is none other than Lu Shengzhong, who came to take Niu Youdao's head on Wang Heng's order. And this man is also none other than the son of Liu Lu, the steward of the Song family in Tingwei Mansion in the capital, Liu Xian
Liu Ziyu, a disciple of the sect, also came here after hearing the words from the Song family.
Although the two are not very familiar with each other, because the Song family and the Wang family are related by marriage, the two families have contacts, so they have met each other, so they naturally know each other and know each other's details.
You are just pretending to be elegant! Lu Shengzhong slandered that he was just a domestic slave and he had the nerve to come out and boss him around.
He kept the unpleasant words in his stomach, but on the surface he still said politely: "This is not the place to talk, come to the back hall." After looking at the movement outside, he put down the feather duster, turned around, walked away, and opened a curtain to go inside.
Liu Ziyu and three others followed him in. When they met in the back hall, Lu Shengzhong asked again: "Why are you here?"
Liu Ziyu said calmly: "Do you need to say more? I'm afraid you won't be able to live alone, so I'll sit here and keep an eye on you. The family pays so much attention to you, it's good for you, you are very leisurely, are you ready to fool around and go back to work?"
Lu Shengzhong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Liu, since you are here, don't you know what is going on in Canglu County? There are so many masters around Niu Youdao, how can it be so easy to take action? Aren't I looking for opportunities?"
Liu Ziyu snorted coldly: "Don't do this, who are you fooling? I've been watching you for more than a day or two. You hide in this shop without leaving the door, and don't go out to inquire about information. How can you
Looking for an opportunity to start?"
Lu Shengzhong sighed: "Now that this place is under the control of the Shang Chaozong, who knows if there are secret sentries arranged. To go around to find out information and attract attention is to seek death. Even if you find out the information, so what? Bai Yao is by Niu Youdao's side, you
Can I attack directly? So I can only outsmart him and not be able to defeat him!"
Liu Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hiding in this study shop is called outsmarting?"
Lu Shengzhong shook his head, seeming a little helpless, "Brother Liu, since you have been staring at me for more than a day or two, you must know something about the situation. Let me ask you, how does my Jingmoxuan compare to other similar shops in Cangwu County?
how?"
Liu Ziyu frowned, "Being the best, does this have anything to do with you outsmarting me?"
Lu Shengzhong spread his palms and said, "Think about it, with so many people in the Shang Chaozong, it's impossible for them not to use pens, inks, paper and inkstones, right? On this land, the grades of the people in the Shang Chaozong are naturally good, and the study rooms they use are not bad. They come to purchase them.
If so, Jingmoxuan must be the first choice, this is the opportunity for contact, and it is also the least likely to arouse suspicion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person who was standing behind the curtain opened a crack to look outside and suddenly said "hiss", indicating to be silent.
Then someone outside shouted, "Is the shopkeeper here?"
Lu Shengzhong raised his hand to Liu Ziyu to wait a moment, and quickly opened the curtain and went out. When he saw the clothes of a strong man outside, he was stunned for a moment. Others didn't recognize him, but he knew him. It was Yingyang Wulie.
Wei's attire, not to mention the sword hanging from his waist. He immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, "Sir, what do you want?"
The visitor asked about the price of some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, then ordered some of each, paid the money, and asked them to be packed.
Lu Shengzhong didn't say much, but when packing, he wrote a note with a pen, dried it, put it in it and packed it together.
Seeing this, the visitor asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, what did you write in it?"
Lu Shengzhong chuckled and said: "The study shop sells elegant things. I just wrote a poem and put it in, which will make the guests happy and hope to come back." The packed things were placed in front of the other party.
The visitor chuckled and said, "You scholars are very particular." He shook his head, picked up his things and left.
After seeing the guests off to the door, Lu Shengzhong looked around on the street and quickly returned to the back hall, where he bumped into Liu Ziyu peeping behind the curtain.
Liu Ziyu turned around and followed, saying: "A man of Yingyang Wu Liewei?"
"It's true. It seems that my judgment is correct." Lu Shengzhong rubbed his hands excitedly, "I heard that Shang Shuqing is a person who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I put a good poem in it, which is heroic and martial.
If Liewei's people bring it back, it will definitely reach her ears and attract her attention. This is an opportunity for gradual contact, and then we will wait for the opportunity to act! Even if it causes other insiders to interact with me."
"Good poetry?" Liu Ziyu looked at him up and down, "You can also write poetry? Are you sure that a poem you write can arouse their interest in you?"
Lu Shengzhong chuckled, walked to the small case inside, sharpened his ink a little, dipped his pen in ink on a piece of paper, and wrote a poem. He put the pen down, took off the paper, shook it, turned around and handed it over, "Brother Liu appreciates it."
How about this poem?"
Liu Ziyu looked suspicious, took a look at it, and muttered: "It used to be difficult to make water, except for Wushan. I looked back lazily at Huacong, half of them are cultivators and half of them are kings!" After reading it, he nodded and looked at the other person with quite surprised eyes.
, "Good poetry, really good poetry. I didn't expect Brother Lu to have such talent!" There was obviously a bit more admiration in his expression.
Lu Shengzhong waved his hand, "I'm just kidding, this is actually not my poem. It's a poem given to me by your young master Song Yanqing. I just borrowed it for use." When he said this, he was quite emotional. He suddenly heard that Song Yanqing had appeared in the capital.
Song Yanqing was talented in poetry. When Song Yanqing came to Wang's house to meet his father-in-law Wang Heng, he complimented him. As a result, Song Yanqing actually wrote two poems for him. He was disdainful at first, but after seeing it, he was greatly surprised and even
They are all really good poems!
"Master Yanqing writes poetry?" Liu Ziyu's expression twitched. He knew very well the ink in Song Yanqing's belly. Writing poetry? Are you kidding me? He looked down at the poem in his hand and muttered in his heart. He didn't know who he was asking for it.
