Hiding it from Yuan Gang? Shang Shuqing was puzzled. Niu Youdao had turned around and left without explaining at all.
Watching them off, Meng Shanming asked, "Are you sure that the two stones he laid out were for you to see?"
Shang Shuqing, who was also watching, had a complicated expression and said with a wry smile: "I didn't dare to confirm it before, but now I do."
Meng Shanming said, "How?"
Shang Shuqing: "Just now, he didn't show any clues. It wasn't until we met Mr. Gongsun and we informed him that this place is a secret manufacturing place for ordnance, that he said he was going to Jinzhou. I don't believe he did such a thing in advance. I didn’t think anything about it. I don’t believe that he could suddenly make a decision on such a thing. The stone was placed for me to see. After placing the stone, he avoided Yuan Gang and appeared here waiting... He can’t always wait here. Go down."
Meng Shanming thought and said slowly: "I understand, he is looking at our sincerity. If we don't tell him, he won't ask, and he won't tell us to leave Jinzhou."
Shang Shuqing: "Since he knows the relationship between the two stones, he should have noticed something a long time ago. Maybe he has been waiting for us to say it, but he never waited. This time he laid out the stones for me to see, like It's giving us a chance, giving us the last chance! If we still hide it from him, I have a hunch that we won't be able to keep him, and he will take Yuan Gangyuan away, instead of saying Going to Golden State!”
Meng Shanming also smiled bitterly: "I understand, he is weighing whether it is worth it. It seems that he thinks it is risky for him to go!"
Shang Shuqing was slightly worried, and she realized it, but she couldn't stop it. Tianyumen and Feng Lingbo would not give their brother and sister too long. At present, it seemed that the only good opportunity to annex Qingshan County was this time. To a certain extent, because she had seen Niu Youdao's ability, she hoped that Niu Youdao's ability could help their brother and sister.
However, this kind of mentality made her blame herself quite a bit. Her selfishness made others take risks...
"Where to go?"
In the yard, Yuan Gang, who was packing up after practicing his kung fu, heard a startled sound.
Niu Youdao said calmly: "Go find some things you need for practice."
Yuan Gang nodded, "When will we set off?" He obviously meant to prepare in advance.
Niu Youdao: "I'll leave tomorrow. You don't have to go. I'll just take Lao Xiong with me. [oM]"
I dont go? Yuan Gang was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Niu Youdao would not let him go with him.
Niu Youdao explained: "It's okay. You don't have to worry about being spotted if you escape from here. If you go back to Canglu County through the secret passage and start again, you will be in danger, and you might be targeted by your enemies. So I We are going to take Lao Xiong directly over the mountains and ridges to leave. This mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will be a problem for you to climb all the way."
Yuan Gang was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he asked: "How long will you be gone and when will you come back?"
Niu Youdao: "We haven't ventured into the outside world alone, and we don't understand many situations. I can't explain it clearly at the moment, but it shouldn't take too long."
Yuan Gang: "Am I waiting here?"
Niu Youdao: "You can stay here or go to Canglu County. It depends on how Shang Shuqing arranges it. When I come back after finishing my work, I should go directly back to Canglu County quietly. If you go to Canglu County, You should keep an eye on those people from Lao Xiong, and that Lu Shengzhong, if the Shang Chaozong’s plan goes well, you can use Lu Shengzhong’s chess piece.”
Yuan Gang nodded, turned around and said to Yuan Fang: "Cheer up and be smart after you go out with the Taoist master, otherwise don't blame me for sending those monks to see the Buddha."
Yuanfang's expression twitched, and he forced out a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan."
The next day, in front of the dressing table, Shang Shuqing arranged Niu Youdao's hair with great care. The person sitting in the mirror closed his eyes and remained silent.
After the two came out of the house, Yuanfang had already carried a package and was waiting outside. Yuan Gang presented Niu Youdao's sword.
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand, grabbed the sword, and strode away, followed by Yuanfang.
Shang Shuqing and Yuan Gang came out of the yard to watch, and Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was also watching in a corner.
After leaving the village without haste, Niu Youdao and Yuanfang suddenly accelerated and flew forward, one behind the other, up a high mountain.
The two stopped at the top of the mountain. Yuanfang followed Niu Youdao and looked back at the village hidden in the mountains. Then each took a small green leaf and put it into his mouth. This leaf was originally nameless, but people in the village named it 'Qingxin'. Holding this leaf in your mouth can cope with the miasma that permeates the mountains.
"Let's go!" Niu Youdao shouted, and his figure suddenly popped out from the top of the mountain. He was shot out like an arrow from a string. The energy in his body burst out and condensed like wings. He controlled the air by flying with the speed of shooting and the height he climbed.
Yuan Fang was gliding behind to catch up.
There was a mountain hitting them head-on. The two figures, one behind the other, flew around quickly with the help of the buoyancy of the air, passing between the two mountains like two big birds.
The wind whistled in my ears.
Yuanfang's cultivation level was obviously not as good as Niu Youdao. The air wings collapsed after rubbing at high speed in the air for a short time. He quickly landed on the mountain and ran as fast as he could. He was ejected again and regrouped into air wings to catch up. Niu Youdao's breathing rate is obviously much slower than Yuanfang's, but he still occasionally stops and waits, otherwise Yuanfang might lose him.
The two of them flew up and down quickly when encountering flat ground. When encountering hills, they would either pass by or fly around them. When encountering high mountains, they would step on the cliffs and soar upwards. When they reached the top of the mountain, they would eject again and quickly glide away in the air.
Among the vast mountains and ridges, two figures one behind the other, like birds flying freely...
After half a day, the mountains were obviously much calmer, and the dense miasma in the mountains was obviously no longer visible. Niu Youdao estimated that he had left that area.
The two of them stopped until they saw the ribbon-like official road. Yuanfang was as tired as a dead dog. He spat out the leaves in his mouth, leaned on a big tree and knelt on the ground panting. Xu Xu, this non-stop method for half a day was really too much for him.
Niu Youdao's face didn't look good either. His mana was consumed too much. If it wasn't for the rush, he wouldn't have done this at all. In such a weak situation, it would be really troublesome if he encountered someone looking for trouble.
The two hid in the forest next to the official road, ate and drank something, then sat cross-legged and meditated to recover.
Niu Youdao recovers quickly, firstly because he is not as exhausted as Yuanfang, and secondly because he can use the amulet of transmission in his body.
Yuanfang's recovery speed was a bit slow, and he only recovered towards the evening. There was nothing he could do. The two of them didn't have any elixir to help them recover quickly, so he could only recover slowly.
Originally, Niu Youdao had some, and some of them were found on the bodies of the three brothers Song Yanqing, but he used them because of his experiment. Lu Shengzhong also found some on his body, and he gave them all to Yuan Fang, and Yuan Fang, who had never tasted them, immediately tried them.
To a certain extent, both of them are poor in the spiritual world, and they are completely poor.
A passing carriage was stopped on the official road. After asking for the route, a gold coin diverted the carriage to the nearest county seat.
After rushing all the way, the carriage finally rushed the two of them into the city before the city gate closed at nightfall.
After finding an inn to stay in the city, Niu Youdao treated Yuanfang to a table of delicious food.
At the dinner table, Yuanfang asked Niu Youdao, who was looking out the window at the street with a thoughtful look on his face: "Master Dao, where are we going?"
Niu Youdao said lightly: "Jinzhou Fucheng."
Yuanfang muttered: "It seems there is still a long way to go."
Niu Youdao: "Eat quickly, there is still something to do after eating."
"Oh!" Yuanfang quickly filled his stomach.
When paying the bill, Niu Youdao threw a silver coin to the waiter as a reward. The waiter nodded and bowed with joy.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, the money was naturally not given in vain, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
The man said hurriedly: "You say it, you say it."
Niu Youdao asked: "Do you know where the county post official's home is?"
The clerk thought for a moment, pointed in the direction and said: "It's not far from the county government office. In the alley on the left diagonally opposite the county government office is Li Chengyi's house. You'll know when you get there. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Li?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "It's nothing. His friend asked me to send him a letter."
He dismissed it casually, and then left the inn with Yuanfang, went straight to the place where the waiter said, and found the home of Chengyi Li.
Naturally, he was looking for this person for no other reason than to gain an identity and borrow the horse from the inn. It was not that he couldn't afford a horse, but the horse from the inn could be transferred to another inn along the way, making it easier to travel quickly. This matter is not difficult, and does not require the threat of force. The threat of force is not good, just throw money at it.
A handful of gold coins were sprinkled on the table, and the Chengyi official was immediately dealt with. The two parties agreed to meet tomorrow morning.
The next day, in a remote place outside the city, Li Chengyi brought two stage horses, two sets of postman's clothes, and the official letter. He also asked the two of them to deliver the official letter, taking into account both public and private matters.
As the saying goes, the other handful of gold coins agreed upon was given to Li Chengyi.
Niu Youdao and Yuanfang changed their clothes, got on their horses, and rode off at a fast pace. They changed trains at various inns and rushed to Jinzhou Fucheng without stopping.
Two days later, the two people who were tired of traveling successfully arrived in Jinzhou Fucheng, delivered the official letter to the government office, and the post horse was also left behind. There was no need to take the post horse away and cause trouble.
Fulin Inn, when the two came to the door of the inn, Yuanfang held a flower in his hand, which was very conspicuous. Immediately, a man came up to them and whispered: "Fang Zhe."
Niu Youdao looked the other person up and down and said, "Niu Youdao."
The man named Fang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and immediately extended his hand to greet him: "Master Tao, please!" He led the two of them into the inn and went to his room.
The reason for this scene was naturally planned with Shang Shuqing before departure. Shang Shuqing sent an urgent message to the Shang Chao Sect, asking the Shang Chao Sect's previous contacts in Jinzhou to meet Niu Youdao.
After arriving in the room, Fang Zhe closed the door, turned around and asked immediately: "The prince summoned me to cooperate with the Taoist master. I don't know how he wants me to cooperate?"
"Situation!" Niu Youdao: "Tell me everything you know about Hai Ruyue in detail."
"Okay!" Fang Zhe immediately explained the situation in detail.
Niu Youdao interrupted from time to time to ask questions, and the two talked for a long time before stopping.
After roughly understanding it, Niu Youdao stood up in the room and said, "Let's take a rest for one night. The inn will open a room for us and take me to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."
Fang Zhe stood up and said, "Master Dao, I'm afraid tomorrow won't be appropriate? Tomorrow Hai Ruyue will celebrate her 40th birthday, and many guests will come to visit. She's afraid she won't see you... She doesn't want to see you anymore because she thinks I'm so long-winded."
Niu Youdao: "It doesn't matter, just say that the good doctor hired by the prince is here for her son. Let alone her forty birthday, even if she gets married again, she will still have time to see me."
