Now she finally understood why he said before that the lake had nothing to do with saving Shang Shuqing. Indeed, it had nothing to do with saving Shang Shuqing. He was prepared to save her own life, but could she save it?
Niu Youdao: "If you don't like it, you don't like it. Once you embark on this path, there will always be inevitable times."
Guan Fangyi: "If you think the people from the three major sects are unreliable, can you let Wu Zhaoxing go? Let Wu Zhaoxing replace you..." As soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong. It was a bit selfish to say such things, so he immediately
He changed his words and corrected his meaning, "His cultivation level is higher than yours, and he is more certain of success."
"Matchmaker, there is no such reason." Niu Youdao shook his head and then smiled, "If Wu Zhaoxing goes, if the other party doesn't believe him or that he has the qualifications to negotiate as a representative, he will have no chance of succeeding. What kind of things will he go to?
What kind of person is not important, fitness is the most important thing. Although his cultivation is high, if he goes, he will be dead and there will be no chance of escape. It will be different if I go, I still have the possibility of escape.
Okay, matchmaker, I’ve made up my mind, you can’t stop me, that’s it.”
Shang Chaozong's eyes were also red. Master Dao was going to risk his life. He was a little excited and said: "Master Dao, forget it, I won't save you. Really, I won't save you!"
"I have my own plan for this matter. Don't delay. Send a message to the other party immediately. I'll wait for your news." Niu Youdao dropped the words and turned around and walked away.
Yun Ji looked at this and that, bowed slightly to say hello, and then turned and left.
Guan Fangyi followed silently.
After they all left, Meng Shanming said slowly: "My lord, you can't stop him, just do what he says! Cooperate well, cooperate well, it is better than anything else."
Shang Chaozong was extremely troubled and said: "If I do this, wouldn't it be too selfish?"
Meng Shanming turned around and said: "Da'an, you have heard it all. You disguise yourself as a scout and do it yourself. It will be easier for you to gain trust if you go there. I don't worry about others going there."
"Yes!" Luo Daan, who was pushing a wheelchair, accepted the order.
…
Back in the tent, Niu Youdao stood in front of the map again, staring at it carefully and wondering if there were any loopholes.
For him, things are often very pure, just such a thing, and the preparation before and after the matter is often the most important, far more complicated than the matter itself. Once the really complicated things are straightened out, the matter will be the simplest.
Easy things to do.
"You killed the elders of the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom in Tiangu, and then started a war to destroy the Zhao Kingdom. Now you take the initiative to send you to the door. How can they let you go?" Guan Fangyi, who was silent for a while behind him, said.
He muttered, obviously still trying to persuade him not to take risks, it was too dangerous.
Niu Youdao, who faced the map with his back to her, said calmly: "A group of profit-seeking people, they know better than you what is important and what is important. In the face of life and death, the past things are no longer important to them.
To be precise, it doesn't matter whether they kill me or not. If they kill me, they will have no hope at all. At this time, as long as I can give them hope, not to say that they will rush to greet me, at least they will not act rashly against me."
Guan Fangyi said: "The hostages are in their hands, can you guarantee that they will give you a chance to snatch them?"
Niu Youdao: "The most dangerous time is when you have a chance. If you don't have a chance, you will be safe. If there is no chance, I will pretend to negotiate and threaten to come back to discuss with the prince. I can get away with a little perfunctory. They won't
They will force me to stay and mess things up. As long as they see hope, they will let me be safe. So there is no need for you to worry too much."
Guan Fangyi couldn't help but stamp her foot and made her words clear, "Master Dao, I also want to save the princess and the others, but there are also circumstances! You know this clearly.
There is a high chance that you will lose your life. Is it worth taking such a big risk? At least in the eyes of us people in Maolu Villa, the princess and the young prince together are not as valuable as you!"
Niu Youdao turned around, looked at her quietly with his deep eyes, and suddenly asked, "In the eyes of the people of Maolu Villa, who is more valuable between you and me?"
Guan Fangyi immediately rolled her eyes, "Is it okay if I'm not as valuable as you? Just because you are valuable, you can't take this risk."
Niu Youdao: "But if you become a hostage at this time, I will also risk my life to save you at any cost. Do you believe it?"
"..." Guan Fangyi was speechless. She believed it. She had no doubt that Niu Youdao would definitely try his best to save her. After following Niu Youdao for so many years, she had absolute confidence in this aspect.
.
Niu Youdao said slowly: "There are things to do and things not to do. The prince borrowed troops from Quang Guang County and encountered many difficulties during the period. I had many opportunities to take an easier path, and there were also many people who were stronger than the prince.
Forces came to recruit me. I had every chance to avoid many dangers, but I would rather take this most difficult and dangerous road. Do you know why? This is not called perseverance, and I don’t have such a high consciousness. This is called morality.
!”
Guan Fangyi looked at him with a complicated expression.
Yun Ji, who was watching, also looked at this side, thoughtfully, thinking of herself.
She could listen to Niu Youdao's greeting not only because Niu Youdao had the handle, but also because of Niu Youdao. In fact, even if Niu Youdao held her handle, she had never had the handle.
Instead of feeling threatened, following Niu Youdao actually made me feel safe and at ease.
At dawn, a horseman came out from the direction of the Yan army, facing the morning wind, and headed towards the opposite direction of the Zhao army. It was Luo Daan dressed as a scout.
On the grassland on the way, a rope suddenly stretched out from the grassland. The war horse neighed, stumbled and tipped over, and Luo Daan was also overturned.
Two dormant Zhao soldiers rushed over with broken blades.
Luo Da'an, who was rolling on the ground, refused to be easily captured. He kicked an incoming attacker into the air, rolled over the opponent's knife, grabbed the opponent's knife-wielding wrist with his backhand, and knocked the opponent's knife away.
It also caused the band to roll.
When he sat up from the ground again, his knees were already pressed against the waist of the person on the ground. The knife in the other person's hand was also in Luo Daan's hand and pressed against the other person's neck. He stared coldly at the other person who was getting up.
People, "I have no ill intentions. I joined the army under Commander Meng and was ordered to deliver a letter to the commander-in-chief..."
Zhao Jun, a general in the Chinese army's tent came to report urgently: "The Commander-in-Chief, Meng Shanming sent a messenger, saying that he has a secret message for the Commander-in-Chief."
Pang Teng, who was washing his face at the basin after waking up in the morning, turned around in surprise, "Meng Shanming has a secret message for me?"
The coming general said: "The messenger is Luo Da'an, who is joining the army under Meng Shanming."
Pang Teng was surprised, "That Luo An's son, the Luo Daan who was accepted as his disciple by Meng Shanming?"
General: "Yes, it has been verified that it is indeed him. He dressed up as a scout of the Yan army and asked us to keep it a secret."
Pang Teng hurriedly wiped his face, threw away the towel in his hand, and waved: "Bring it here."
Soon, Luo Daan was brought in, with a black hood over his head and his hands tied behind his back.
Pang Teng said impatiently: "It's solved, it's solved." For him, such a person cannot make trouble.
The black hood on Luo Daan's head was taken off, and his tied hands were also loosened. He looked around and his eyes fell on Pang Teng. After moving his hands and wrists, he cupped his hands.
Pang Teng was also sizing him up. He was so concerned because he was Meng Shanming's disciple. He was not afraid when he saw him coming alone. He frowned slightly and asked, "Where is the letter?"
Luo Da'an raised his hand, took off the cloth tie that bound his hair, and held it out.
Someone here immediately took over the inspection and confirmed that there was no problem before handing it over to Pang Teng.
Pang Teng turned over the wrinkled and rolled cloth tape, and sure enough, there was writing on it. He straightened the cloth tape and read the content carefully. After understanding it, he was a little surprised. He raised his head and asked: "We have already agreed on a meeting time, why do we have to keep it secret?"
talks?"
Luo Da'an said: "I was only ordered to deliver the letter, I don't know anything else."
Pang Teng hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Take the people down first." Seeing that the people below were about to tie up Luo Da'an again, he said, "Just put on the hood and watch carefully."
After all, the visitor is not an ordinary person. He has a certain status and is someone who can talk to Meng Shanming. He may have to ask people to go back and reply. There is no need to treat him too harshly. If he makes people unhappy, what if
He is a villain, and if he goes back and says some unpleasant things, it may not be a bad thing.
The black hood was put on Luo Daan's head again and he was held captive.
The reason why I wear a black hood is because I don't want the other party to see clearly the details of this camp. This is also a military aircraft.
Soon, Zuo Chengfeng, the head of Luoxia Villa, Jiang Wanlou, the head of Guiyuan Sect, and Mi Man, the head of Juxian Sect, rushed to the tent after receiving the news.
After the three of them read the letters one after another, Zuo Chengfeng asked the same question, "We have already agreed on a meeting time, why do we have to come here to have a secret meeting?"
Pang Teng said: "The Yan army has people from the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom to supervise the army. It is impossible for the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom to agree. The Shang Chaozong may want to save his sister and son. There must be contradictions in the attitudes of the two sides. Niu You
Dao came to have a secret talk in person, and it must be related to this matter. He probably wants to put aside the three major factions of Yan State and negotiate a compromise with us secretly. At least he has brought the conditions we want to see, otherwise he would not dare to come!"
The three of them all nodded slightly when they heard this. This is entirely possible, and this is the only possibility.
However, Mi Man had some doubts, "Could this be a fraud?"
Jiang Wanlou sneered: "What kind of deceit can there be? He can't lead thousands of troops to have secret talks, can it still be called secret talks? Even if he brings hundreds of people, if there is any change, it will be called secret talks when he comes here.
He has never come back! He still dares to mess around here, unless he is impatient."
That was the truth, and the others nodded.
Jiang Wanlou turned around and asked Pang Teng, "What is the attitude of the Governor?"
Pang Teng said: "You won't lose anything by meeting. My opinion is to agree to a confidential conversation."
The three heads looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
After the matter was settled, Zuo Chengfeng said with some reluctance: "Niu Youdao, I really want to chop him into meat paste and feed it to the dogs. You dare to come here, you are not timid, you are too arrogant!"
Mi Man sighed and said: "Brother Zuo, what time has it been? Is it interesting to say such angry words? Why did he come? He knows that you don't dare to kill him, otherwise he would not dare to come here." He turned back to Pang Teng.
He said, "Grand Governor, let the messenger go back and reply."
