,.
Under nightfall, a sedan fell outside the governor's mansion and was stopped by the guards outside. [oM]
Fang Zhe stepped forward to negotiate with him. Niu Youdao, who was sitting in the sedan chair, quietly closed his eyes and looked calm...
The house is filled with bright lights and a gorgeous Zhu Pavilion.
The weather has obviously warmed up, but there is a charcoal fire in the house.
The table was full of delicious food. The young man at the table was wearing thick clothes. He had fair skin, pale face, and blue eyes. He seemed to have no appetite.
The woman sitting next to him was in a different situation. She was wearing a light, palace-style gauze dress, with slight beads of sweat on her fair skin.
There is no way, the stove is still burning in this season, it is strange that it is not hot.
The woman's movements were quite majestic, her appearance was also radiant, her hair was high, her eyebrows were picturesque, her appearance was beautiful, graceful and charming, her body was slightly plump, with a provocative plumpness.
The young man is Xiao Tianzhen, the governor of Jinzhou who inherited his father's legacy.
The woman is Hai Ruyue, the eldest princess of the current Zhao Kingdom, the emperor's sister, and Xiao Tianzhen's mother. Although she is forty years old, the years have been kind to her and have not left any traces on her body.
"I know you don't have an appetite, but you still have to eat something if you don't have an appetite!" Hai Ruyue picked up the food for her son with her own chopsticks.
Outside the house, the gray-haired housekeeper Zhu Shun appeared at the door. He did not come in, but nodded to Hai Ruyue.
Hai Ruyue looked up, put down her chopsticks and stood up. At the same time, she did not forget to tell her son, "You have to eat some if you don't want to eat. This is for your own good, not to harm you!"
After leaving the table, she walked to the door. The slave girl guarding the door immediately put on a coat for her. The temperature outside the room was no better than that inside the room with the stove.
After the master and servant walked a little further, Zhu Shunfang reported: "Madam, that Fang Zhe is here again."
Hai Ruyue's bright eyes squinted and said: "What else can't be said?"
What needs to be said has been said clearly, and there is nothing more to talk about. She has already told her not to see her, not to mention it is getting late. As a widow, she usually does not have male visitors at night. Normally, the housekeeper will send them away, but she came to inform her. There must be a reason. [oM]
Zhu Shundao said, "He brought someone here this time, saying he was a good doctor specially sent by Prince Yongping of Yan State to treat the young master."
"Good doctor?" Hai Ruyue frowned, "They already know Zhen'er's condition. Is there any good doctor who can diagnose and treat it?"
Zhu Shundao: "This old slave also feels strange. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, but he also feels that Shang Chaozong would not act recklessly in this kind of matter, so I would like to ask Madam, do you want to see me or not?"
Hai Ruyue was a little hesitant, but she had the same view. Shang Chaozong probably wouldn't mess with this kind of thing, so she nodded and said, "Bring it here!"
"Yes!" Zhu Shun bowed and left quickly.
Not long after, he brought Fang Zhe and Niu Youdao over. Niu Youdao's sword had been temporarily withheld.
When they entered the inner courtyard, their eight extraordinary meridians were also sealed by the monks here, and Niu Youdao could no longer use his magic power.
Relatively speaking, Hai Ruyue can be regarded as being responsible for the Shang Dynasty clan because of the old relationship with Prince Ning. After all, what the two parties want to discuss is a secret matter, and it should not be known to too many outsiders. If you don't have the power to seal the cow, there must be someone around you to keep an eye on it. .
Next to the pavilion and waterside pavilion, Hai Ruyue, who is wearing a gorgeous long dress, leans on the railing and looks at the bright moon in the night sky. The silhouette is lonely and the moon is reflected in the water.
Fang Zhe and Niu Youdao stopped not far away, saluted Hai Ruyue with their backs to each other and said, "I have met the eldest princess."
Zhu Shun then approached Hai Ruyue and muttered a few words.
Hai Ruyue slowly turned around, her charm under the light was so infinite that Niu Youdao couldn't help but secretly praise her, what a beauty!
"Niu Youdao? Aren't you the abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect of the Yan Kingdom?" Hai Ruyue looked up and down and snorted coldly.
Niu Youdao didn't expect that the other party even knew this, but it was understandable. There must be spies spying on the neighboring territories of the enemy country. What's more, Shang Chaozong was communicating with this side. How could the other party not find out what was going on? So it's not that weird. He nodded and said, "That's right."
Hai Ruyue: "When I was in the Yan Kingdom in the early years, I dated Prince Ning, and I also had frequent contacts with your master Dong Guo Haoran. We are considered old friends. How did Dong Guo Haoran's disciple become a good doctor who can treat difficult and complicated diseases?"
Niu Youdao found that Dongguo Lao'er had quite a lot of connections, and replied: "Elder Princess Mingjian, I am not the one who really cures the disease. I was just ordered to escort the good doctor here, but something happened when I arrived in Fucheng. The good doctor It was robbed."
Hai Ruyue's bright eyes narrowed slightly, Zhu Shun frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Niu Youdao: "The eldest princess doesn't know something. I have some grievances with the Song family of Yan State's imperial court over there. I just arrived in Fucheng today and unexpectedly ran into Song Jiu Ming's son. He was being hunted. I escaped by luck, but I brought him with me." The good doctor who came here fell into their hands. At this time, we don’t know where the good doctor was taken, let alone his life or death. I hope the eldest princess can take action to find a good doctor. After all, this is the eldest princess’ territory.”
He had no connections or manpower here, so if he wanted to save Yuan Fang, he could only rely on the widow's influence.
Fang Zhe on the side thought for a moment, how could he bring any good doctor here? He probably guessed that it was Yuanfang. After hearing these words, he seemed to understand why Niu Youdao had to evacuate Fulin Inn in a hurry.
Hai Ruyue had already grasped the situation of the Shang Chaozong. Since she knew that Niu Youdao was an abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect when she heard his name, she naturally knew about his grudges with the Song family. Zhu Shun whispered beside Hai Ruyue: "Song Jiuming's second son Song Long has indeed arrived in Fucheng and has been settled in Liufang Pavilion."
Hai Ruyue didn't show any clues on her face. She stared at Niu Youdao and asked, "Are you sure that the good doctor you brought can cure my son's disease?"
Niu Youdao: "Even if he can't cure it, he is the most likely person to ask for the Red Sun Fruit. Princess, your son's illness is very clear to the prince. If the prince can send us for this matter, naturally it is It’s somewhat certain! Princess, if we delay it any longer, the good doctor’s life may not be saved!”
Regardless of anything else now, for him, rescuing Yuan Fang first is the most important thing. In his opinion, the great cause of Shang Chaozong may not be more important than Yuanfang's life. He and the followers of Shang Chaozong have different ideas and differences in values and concepts.
Hai Ruyue slowly turned back to look at Zhu Shun, and said expressionlessly: "Take the person there yourself and ask Song Long to hand him over!" There was an undoubted meaning in her tone.
"Yes!" Zhu Shun agreed, turned around and said to Niu Youdao: "Come with me." He didn't know the so-called good doctor, so he needed Niu Youdao to recognize him, and he also needed to let him know if necessary. Niu Youdao confronted Song Long face to face, but there was no witness. What if Song Long refused to admit it
Niu Youdao immediately said goodbye to Hai Ruyue and followed Zhu Shun.
Zhu Shun immediately summoned more than a dozen experts to accompany him. As for Fang Zhe, he was temporarily detained in the governor's mansion, feeling like a hostage...
In Liufang Pavilion, Xie Chun and others had just returned and faced Song Long, who was standing with his hands behind his hands in the hall and his face was downcast.
Xie Chun and others naturally returned without success, and the facts proved Yuan Fang's words that Niu Youdao had indeed settled in Fulin Inn. This could be known by asking the innkeeper and shopkeeper to verify their appearance.
There was no need to search for anything. I found that the guest room was already empty. The shopkeeper also said that the guest had just checked out and left not long ago.
Xie Chun was not surprised at all by this. This was expected and there was nothing surprising. It would be strange if Niu Youdao really stayed there and did not leave.
Since Niu Youdao was not caught, Yuanfang was inevitably picked out again and interrogated carefully, such as where Niu Youdao might have gone and why he was here.
Yuanfang was still as timid as a mouse, answering whatever he asked, but he didn't tell the truth.
If you can't find any clues, Yuanfang will inevitably suffer some hardships.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, a large number of people rushing in, and the sound of armor clattering clearly.
Song Long's subordinates ran in with a panic look on their faces and reported urgently: "Sir, Zhu Shun, the steward of the Governor's Office, is here and has brought a large number of people to surround our yard."
"What's going on?" Song Long was shocked and confused. It was useless to ask other people. Others didn't know. He quickly led the people and strode away.
When I quickly arrived at the yard and saw Zhu Shun leading a group of people in from the gate, I immediately understood everything because I saw Niu Youdao next to Zhu Shun.
This situation made Song Long's heart skip a beat. Could it be that what Niu Youdao said was true? Is he really from the Governor's Office
What shocked him even more was that Niu Youdao actually asked Zhu Shun to come in person!
He couldn't help but look back at Xie Chun, seemingly asking, how do you do things? Didn't you first confirm whether you are from the governor's office before taking action
Seeing this scene, Chen Guishuo in the crowd was frightened and wailed in his heart, how could Niu Youdao gain power in Jinzhou
The commotion here was so great that the envoys from various countries in the Liufang Pavilion who had evil intentions towards Zhao were alerted.
Jinzhou has sent out troops to surround the place where the envoys of the State of Yan are staying. How can people from other countries not take a look and see clearly that Jinzhou's attitude towards the State of Yan is worthy of attention by all countries. After all, Jinzhou has troops stationed there. If there is any conflict on the edge of Yan State, it is not a trivial matter.
People in the various courtyards of Liufang Pavilion came forward one after another, but they were surrounded by heavy soldiers and could not get close to watch.
"Is it him?" Zhu Shun stared at Song Long and asked lightly.
Niu Youdao confirmed: "Yes, it's him!"
Song Long was shocked and confused. Could it be that Zhu Shun dared to mess with him, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, because of his arrogance
Although he was a little confused, he was representing Dayan's face when he went to Zhao as an envoy. He shouted confidently: "Zhu Shun, what do you mean by this? Is this the way of hospitality in Jinzhou?"
Zhu Shun stared at him, "Those who observe etiquette are guests and should be treated as honored guests! Everyone hates those who are rude... Sir Song, don't make any detours and hand him over!"
When he arrived at the Liufang Pavilion, he had already confirmed with the guards here that Song Long and others had indeed escorted someone into the Liufang Pavilion before. The time matched what Niu Youdao said, so he directly mobilized troops to surround him!
How could Song Long easily admit that he was arresting people at will in other countries? This is not what an envoy should do, and it would be against the rules to place them anywhere. He argued: "Who should I hand over? Song doesn't know what you mean!"
Zhu Shun: "Master Song, you'd better cooperate, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Song Long raised his head and chest, and said with great strength: "I am the envoy of the Yan State, and I want to see who dares to move!"
