,.
Not long after Tang Yi left, a female disciple named Tian Xiang came quickly, walked up to Tang Susu and whispered a few words in a low voice. Tang Susu raised her eyebrows, sneered, and whispered a few more words.
After a while, another person came to visit him. It was none other than Song Yanqing.
Song Yanqing, who had been allowed to enter, saw Tang Susu handing a letter to Tian Xiang beside him, and said: "Let Niu Youdao go down the mountain and hand it over to the abbot of Nanshan Temple in Xiaonanshan, Guangxi County. If you want to pass by, he must deliver it!" "
"Yes!" Tian Xiang accepted the letter with both hands and quietly glanced at Song Yanqing as he turned to leave.
Song Yanqing stared at the letter in her hand very carefully, turned around and saluted Tang Susu respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to the elder!"
Tang Susu happily raised her hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
However, Song Yanqing had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Elder, I heard that Niu Youdao is going down the mountain to serve as the retinue of the Shang Dynasty sect's master?"
Tang Susu nodded slightly, "That's what happened."
Song Yanqing's face tightened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Elder, you just promised that the Shangqing Sect would not give the Shang Dynasty sect any accompanying mage." He returned to the Shangqing Sect before Shang Shuqing did. He had already greeted the Qingzong beforehand, and now the Shangqingzong was sending someone to the Shang Chaozong. He had no way of communicating with his family about this matter.
Tang Susu sighed: "It's really an accident. Princess Shang took out the token of gratitude that Shangqing Sect gave to Prince Ning, and went up the mountain to find him personally. How can Shangqing Sect evade it? Shangqing Sect is a famous and upright sect. You owe someone a favor, and they want you to repay it now. If you don't repay it, how can the Shangqing Sect be seen in the spiritual world in the future? You will be laughed at, Yan Qing, this is not optional. It’s such a small thing, it’s really helpless.”
Song Yanqing said: "I don't want to repay my kindness. I don't know the past events clearly, so I can't make any judgments. I only know that the words from the capital have been brought to the Shangqing Sect. Now the actions of the Shangqing Sect are beyond the expectations of the capital. The disciple would like to ask the elder, how should the disciple explain to the capital?" The tone was slightly deep and somewhat aggressive.
Tang Susu chuckled and said, "Don't worry too much. Don't you know how much Niu Youdao weighs? How can he be a retinue mage? It's just perfunctory for the Shang Chaozong." In fact, at the beginning, this is the case. I really never thought about sending someone to the Shang Chaozong, but they came to the door and took out the token. It was related to the reputation of a sect, so I couldn't refuse it directly, so I had to deal with it. The reason why Shang Shuqing went to see Niu Youdao was because he wanted Shang Shuqing to retreat. After all, Niu Youdao was so young. Who knew that Shang Shuqing actually agreed and did it? The Shangqing Sect was somewhat unable to dismount.
Song Yanqing said calmly: "Disciple has not been in the Shangqing Sect these years. I don't know what is going on with Niu Youdao. I only know that what the other side of the capital means is that no one can be sent to the Shang Chao Sect. No one is allowed!"
"You!" Tang Susu pointed at him, shook her head slightly and said, "I am thinking about you, can't you still see it?"
"Uh..." Song Yanqing was stunned for a moment, "For the sake of the disciples? I can't see where you are thinking about the disciples!"
Tang Susu nodded casually, "One thing you may not know is that the head Tang Yi doesn't like Niu Youdao at all. He has not even met Niu Youdao a few times in so many years. He has not consummated his marriage with Niu Youdao yet. The head is still Innocent virginity. As I told you in the early years, the leader just wanted to shoulder the heavy responsibility, not because he really wanted to commit himself to Niu Youdao. How could the leader fall in love with a mountain villager? Compared with you and Niu Youdao , the leader can’t tell which one is better? But the leader is the daughter of the previous leader, she must bear some responsibilities, and as a man, you must understand her difficulties as a woman. "
"..." Song Yanqing was completely stunned, looking like he was hesitating to speak. His eyes gradually lit up, and his heart became lively again. Tang Susu had already made it clear what he meant.
Tang Susu paid attention to his reaction and continued: "Everyone knows the situation of Shang Chaozong. It is doomed to be full of crises and will not end well. Besides, Niu Youdao has no ability to protect himself. What is the difference between following Shang Chaozong and seeking death? Some things The Shangqing Sect is not easy to do openly. You should understand the truth. It is not appropriate for people to have trouble in the Shangqing Sect. If they are implicated by the Shang Chao Sect, that is another matter. What is the relationship between Prince Ning and Dongguo Haoran? I also know that the Shang Chao Sect appointed a disciple of Dong Guo Haoran to come out, and other disciples of the Shang Qing Sect can also understand and will not have any doubts."
Song Yanqing's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. However, his tense expression softened.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and Tang Susu, who was observing the words and expressions, suddenly smiled and said: "Of course, everything has accidents. Maybe Shang Chaozong can survive many crises and keep Niu Youdao safe. That can only be said to be his good fortune. That palm The relationship between the sect and his husband must continue to be maintained. Yan Qing, the Shangqing sect has the same difficulties as the Shangqing sect. Niu Youdao is not a mage retinue. You have to help the sect explain the situation to the capital. It’s clear!”
Song Yanqing squeezed out a smile on his face, nodded repeatedly and said: "This disciple is also a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, so he naturally helps the master to speak. Elder, don't worry, this disciple knows how to explain to the capital."
Tang Susu nodded: "That's good, that's good, I really saw the right person."
"If the elder has no other instructions, this disciple will leave first!" Song Yanqing said goodbye with his hands in hand.
Tang Susu happily waved her sleeves and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Song Yanqing respectfully took a few steps back, then turned around and left quickly.
As soon as he left here, he immediately went back and found two followers, Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo. One asked him to prepare the horses, and the other asked him to ask for leave from the sect because he wanted to return to the capital.
With everything ready, the three of them left the Shangqing Sect at high speed.
Along the way, Song Yanqing was quite excited. He was excited because of Tang Susu's words. It was surprising that Tang Yi and Niu Youdao had a relationship in name only. It seemed that he still had to wait for him to pick this flower. He made up his mind. Determined to get Tang Yi this time, Tang Susu should know the consequences of repeatedly fooling him, dare not cooperate and give it a try!
"Senior brother, you're going in the opposite direction. That's not going to the capital!"
The three riders ran out of the Shangqing Sect and crossed the river to the other side. Song Yanqing, who was leading the horse, ran in the opposite direction. Chen Guishuo, who was catching up, quickly shouted a warning.
"Nonsense! I'm not blind, just follow me!" Song Yanqing turned around and cursed.
Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do, so they had to speed up to keep up...
Tang Susu sat cross-legged and closed her eyes on the futon in silence. The lights in the hall were not too bright, and the light was half immersed in the dimness.
Tian Xiang quickly broke in from outside the palace, knelt down in front of Tang Susu and whispered: "Elder, no one is going to the capital!"
"The idiot has a good idea!" Tang Susu opened her eyes and sneered...
The next day, at dawn, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect came to the "Peach Blossom Spring" and asked Niu Youdao to come down the mountain and asked if there was anything he wanted to help clean up.
It could be seen that the disciple's eyes were obviously curious about the leader's husband, but when Niu Youdao asked him something, he was careful not to say anything.
Niu Youdao had nothing to deal with, so he packed a package with two sets of changes of clothes and the like, put it on his back along with the sword sent by Shang Shuqing, and went down the mountain.
Follow the zigzag steps that cut through the steep ground in the middle of the cliff all the way to the bottom of the mountain. After crossing a stone bridge, I saw Shang Shuqing waiting there.
Behind Shang Shuqing were four burly men, two of them dressed in cyan attire and the other two in earthy gray attire. They wore leather wristbands on their wrists and leather waistbands tied around their waists. They all showed a certain look. There was a chilling and fierce aura, and weapons such as bows, crossbows, and swords were hung on the horses beside him.
"Master!" Shang Shuqing bowed her hands in greeting.
Niu Youdao nodded and smiled. Tian Xiang led a bay-red horse with a divine coat. After seeing the ceremony, he pointed to the package hanging on the horse and said: "Uncle Master, here are the gold and silver coins prepared by the sect for you. There are also Some dry food for the road." Then he took out a sealed letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is a letter that the headmaster asked you to send to the abbot of Nanshan Temple in Xiaonanshan, Guangxi County on the way. You will pass by that place on the way. The place, please ask for the detailed location, and the manager will ask you to remember to deliver it."
Niu Youdao took it and looked through it. He didn't see a signature on the envelope. He stuffed it into the package hanging on the horse. He looked up in the direction of Shangqing Palace and asked, "Don't I need to say goodbye?"
Tian Xiang smiled and said: "The head said no, he said the princess and the others still have to go on their way."
"Oh! Let's go then." Niu Youdao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
After so many years, he has never had any choice here, and it was the same this time. He said too much nonsense, took the reins, and quickly got on the horse.
The princess and her entourage also quickly mounted their horses and took the lead in turning around and galloping away, with Niu Youdao following behind.
The group galloped away on horseback.
Under a green pine on the edge of Shangqing Palace Mountain, Tang Yi, who was wearing fluttering clothes like an immortal, was looking down at the scene of riding with a frown. He became more and more suspicious of the origin of Niu Youdao. Looking at Niu Youdao's neat galloping, could it be that Niu Youdao was riding a horse? Youdao received riding training in his early years? Does a poor boy from a mountain den have such conditions
Amidst the sharp sound of the horse's hooves, Niu Youdao looked back at the 'Peach Blossom Spring' and saw that the peach blossoms were still brilliant. He wondered if he would have a chance to come back...
The territory of Shangqing Sect is not small. The fast horse galloped on the mountain and forest road for a while. When it was about to leave the boundary, the horses in front suddenly stopped on the forest road, forcing Niu Youdao behind to stop quickly. , and when he looked around, he saw the one-eyed and lame Tuhan blocking the road ahead.
"Princess, I have something to talk to him alone." Tuhan pointed to Niu Youdao behind him, his voice rough.
Shang Shuqing looked back and saw that Niu Youdao had no objection, so he waved and left with his four followers.
Niu Youdao jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "What needs to be said here?"
