It would be better if Yuan Fang, who was accompanying him, knew about the situation. [oM]

Fang Zhe, who came with him, was a little overwhelmed and looked at Niu Youdao in surprise and uncertainty. What's going on? Kill Song Long

He really wanted to drag Niu Youdao out and ask him clearly, are you here to serve the prince and kill an envoy from a country? Is this helping the prince or causing trouble for the prince

The people behind Zhuge Qing looked at each other in confusion.

Zhuge Qing swallowed, quickly took a sip of tea, suppressed his shock, and covered up his gaffe.

Putting down the tea cup, he smiled and said, "Brother Niu, are you kidding me?"

Niu Youdao: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Zhuge Xun shook his head and said: "Whether you are serious or joking, just pretend that I didn't hear anything and drink tea!" He held out his hand for use.

"Okay! Drink tea!" Niu Youdao took the tea cup and held it in his hands to show respect. Then he tasted it slowly and stopped talking. After drinking it, he motioned for someone to refill the water.

Zhuge Xun waited for a while, then spoke first and asked, "I wonder where Brother Niu is from and where he is employed?"

Niu Youdao: "A native of the Yan Kingdom, he is now a retinue mage under the Shang Dynasty, the king of Yongping County. The eldest princess is forty years old, and the prince has something to do and cannot escape. He ordered me to congratulate his aunt on her behalf."

Shang Chaozong

Zhuge Xun said, with a somewhat complicated expression. He was familiar with this name. Back then, Shang Chaozong committed crimes in Yanjing and was imprisoned in a prison. South Korea was also paying attention.

King Ning Shang Jianbo put a lot of pressure on South Korea in his early years. Ten thousand cavalry defeated South Korea's 100,000-strong army, which was overwhelming and unstoppable. It dealt a heavy blow to the hearts and morale of South Korea. Unless King Ning died, South Korea would not dare to take it easy. Going south to attack Yan State, he naturally knew about King Ning's sons.

Zhuge Xun tilted his head and winked, and immediately someone quietly left. He slowly took a sip of tea, and then asked: "We are both subjects of the Yan Kingdom, why did Brother Niu want to kill Song Long?"

Niu Youdao: "I just arrived in Jinzhou Fucheng today, and Song Long attacked me. I escaped by luck, but my brother was captured by him. He asked people from the governor's office to come forward to rescue him. He wanted to kill him." Me, why can’t I kill him?”

Zhuge Xun wondered: "Why did Song Long kill Brother Niu when he was doing well?"

Niu Youdao: "I am a disciple of the Shangqing Sect of the Yan Kingdom, and I am a fellow disciple of Song Long's nephew Song Yanqing. After I was expelled from the Shangqing Sect, Song Yanqing still refused to let me go, and intercepted and killed me along the way. He killed Song Yanqing in self-defense, and the feud was forged!"

A monk behind Zhuge Xun's eyes flashed, and he came closer to him, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Speaking of this, I remembered that the Shangqing Sect seems to have a name for this cow or something. People, it seems that there is such a thing. The announcement issued by the Shangqing Sect to the spiritual world included this crime against the Song family, but it did not mention whether the disciple who killed the Song family's children was expelled from the sect. Soon I heard the news recently that the Shangqing Sect has defected to Shao Dengyun, the governor of Beizhou in South Korea!"

Zhuge Xun was thoughtful, and then he said with a sigh and sigh: "No wonder, it turns out that Brother Niu has this problem with the Song family. As an envoy of a country, Song Long did not take state affairs as the priority, but instead did this kind of thing because of his private affairs. It’s really outrageous.”

"But then again, a country's envoys represent the face of a country. No matter which country they are sent to, no one dares to mess around without a confirmed charge. Otherwise, it will easily cause disputes between the two countries. Brother Niu asked me to help , it’s really a bit abrupt.”

"Although South Korea and Yan are enemies, it is rare for any country to kill envoys rashly. How can I do such a thing without killing envoys even when the two armies are fighting."

Niu Youdao: "I don't let Brother Zhuge take action, and I don't let Brother Zhuge take responsibility. I just want Brother Zhuge to create an opportunity and create an opportunity for me to take action!"

Zhuge Xun raised his eyebrows, so... He picked up the tea cup again, with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.

Before long, the person who had been out quietly came in again, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "Go to the yard where they live and confirm with the guard. Yes, it is called Niu Youdao, and it is indeed Yongping County of Yan State. Someone sent by Wang Shang Dynasty to wish Hai Ruyue her birthday."

Zhuge Xun was waiting for this news. It was impossible for Niu Youdao to believe his identity just because he said it. He had to verify it.

After knowing the situation well, he put down the tea cup and sighed: "Brother Niu, it's not that I don't want to help you. In fact, I do it for your own good. Think about it, killing an envoy of a country is not a trivial matter. Why don't you turn back to Yan State?" Can I let you go so easily? I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave the ground in Jinzhou!"

"This is the third time that the Song family has killed me. I have been passive every time. How can this happen again and again? The rabbit bites when it is anxious!" Niu Youdao stretched out three fingers and lit them. After a while, he put down his hand and asked, "Does Brother Zhuge think that if I don't kill Song Long, Song Long can let me leave the ground of Jinzhou easily? I have made up my mind!"

Zhuge Xun smiled, the smile on his lips was mysterious and thought-provoking...

In the Yan Pavilion, Song Long was also reading documents. The news about Zhao Jing came from the capital of Zhao State. As an envoy to Zhao State, he must pay attention to this news every day and keep the news Screening is carried out, and the useful ones are immediately sent to Yanjing via Golden Wings.

His subordinates came in and reported: "Sir, I have confirmed with people from the Governor's Office that Niu Youdao has nothing to do with the Governor's Office. He was sent by the Shang Chaozong to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday."

Song Long leaned on the back of his chair, and after a strange look in his eyes, he said, "Please come over to Huang Xusheng."

"Yes!" The attendant resigned.

After a while, Huang Xusheng came in and asked, "Is there something wrong, sir?"

Song Long said slowly: "Niu Youdao was just sent by the Shang Dynasty sect to celebrate Hai Ruyue's birthday. As Hai Ruyue's master, something happened to the guests who came to congratulate her on her birthday. She couldn't ignore it, so naturally she wanted to It was indeed us who took the initiative to resolve the issue."

Huang Xusheng remained silent, but he was muttering in his heart that you shouldn't do this as an envoy.

At the same time, I was also waiting for his next words, knowing that he would not just say these, there must be something else, otherwise he would not call me over.

Song Long looked up to the sky and sighed: "I know that my status is not appropriate to do such a thing, but after all, it is a convenient thing. If I let it go, it will be hard to explain when I go back to see my third child! The third child is like this A son, I heard that my sister-in-law sheds tears every day, how can I explain it when I see her? Brother Huang, keep an eye on Niu Youdao, and deal with it as soon as you find a suitable opportunity!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Huang Xusheng, "Please!"

Huang Xusheng frowned, but finally nodded, "I'll do my best!"

Song Long smiled, "Brother Huang, don't worry, after this matter is completed, the Song family will definitely thank you!"

At this moment, an attaché came in, placed an invitation on the desk, and placed it in front of Song Long, reporting: "Han's envoy Zhuge Xun sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet!"

Song Long took the invitation and opened it. After reading it, he frowned and said, "We are having a banquet in the middle of the night. What the hell is Zhuge doing? Is there anything going on over there?"

The attaché said: "I didn't say anything about it. I just said it was a night banquet where we only talked about romance. We invited envoys from all over the world."

"All of them?" Song Long was confused. If he was just invited, he would have to think about what it meant. Envoys from all over the world were invited, but he was alert. Don't let these people join forces to betray him. He Definitely have to go there and see what’s going on!

As an envoy, he understands the nature of these people very well. They are all people who will do anything for the national interests behind them.

Are these people with different agendas just talking about romance? It would be weird to believe him!

Looking at the time on the invitation, it was almost coming, so he immediately ordered people to make some preparations.

Baihua Pavilion is located in the garden in the middle of Liufang Pavilion. The pavilions and pavilions are particularly elegant under the bright lights, and there is a small lake beside it.

Before the guests arrived, the host of the banquet arrived first. Zhuge Xun was wandering by the fence of the waterside pavilion with his hands behind his hands. Several singers were playing the harp and flute beside him. The music of the harp was melodious and the flute played slowly in the empty night sky.

Not long after waiting, envoys from various countries arrived one after another, and Song Long was naturally among them.

The one who arrived first asked Zhuge Xun what was going on, but Zhuge Xun just smiled and replied, "You will know later!"

Looking back, my eyes briefly collided with the envoy of the Song Dynasty, Tu Huaiyu.

When everyone arrived, wine and delicacies were served one after another. Zhuge Xun extended his hand to invite everyone to sit in the pavilion.

After everyone sat down, they discovered that there was still an empty seat. Sui Pai, the envoy of the guard, asked, "Zhuge, could you have invited someone else?"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Zhuge Xun high-fived him three times.

The sound of piano and Xiao at the bottom of the steps suddenly stopped. On the other side of the long pavilion where everyone was sitting, the closed door opened. Niu Youdao walked out, followed by Fang Zhe, who was limping and holding a sword in his arms. of round square.

Some were suspicious and some were confused, but Song Long narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhuge Xun coldly.

Yuan Fang and Fang Zhe stopped outside the pavilion and did not follow them inside. Neither did the other entourage. They were not special either.

When everyone saw Niu Youdao coming in, no one was worried about him messing around. There were so many masters around, so unless they got impatient, they would be fine.

After Niu Youdao entered, he bowed his hands to everyone and said, "My lord, Niu Youdao, is serving under Prince Yongping County of Yan State. This time, the prince should have come in person to celebrate his aunt's birthday. However, something happened and he couldn't get away. The special task force sent I'm here to do the work for you. Niu is very lucky to be able to see you here!"

Everyone had different expressions, and no one said a word. Zhuge Xun stretched out his hand to signal, and Niu Youdao entered the table and sat between the Jin envoy Chu Xiangyu and the Wei envoy Sui Pai.

As soon as he sat down here, Song Long sneered, "All the people here are envoys from various countries. Who do you think you are, worthy of sitting here?"

Niu Youdao looked calm, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes without saying a word, letting the ridicule go.

Others watched.

Zhu Ge It’s too late to meet you! Before, Brother Niu came to me and talked about a grudge he had with the Song family of Yan State. He didn’t want to and didn’t dare to go against the Song family, but the matter had already happened, what could he do? He begged I hope that I will come forward to be a peacemaker and resolve this grudge. Since everyone is here, I can also be a witness. I wonder what Brother Song wants?"
