"You leave here immediately, don't show your face again, and leave immediately!" The tall and thin man said solemnly as he stared out the window.
"Yes!" Li Zhen agreed, understanding what the other party meant, and quickly walked out of the attic, quickly escaping into the night...
"Dong dong" there was a knock on the door. Black Peony opened the door and took a look. She was a little surprised by the man with three long beards outside the door, "Shopkeeper Pan!"
The person who came was the shopkeeper of Liuxian Sect's shop in Wubian Pavilion. She had invited him here before, and the three shopkeepers met Niu Youdao together.
"Is Mr. Tao here?" Shopkeeper Pan smiled.
Niu Youdao's voice sounded in the room, "Shopkeeper Pan is here?"
Black Mudan originally wanted to report, but as soon as Niu Youdao spoke, she knew there was no need to stop him, so she opened the door completely and let the other person in. She then stretched her head outside the door and looked around before stepping back and closing the door.
"Master Tao!" Shopkeeper Pan came in to greet him.
Niu Youdao waved to Black Peony to serve tea, and asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Pan?"
Shopkeeper Pan hurriedly waved his hand to Black Peony, saying no, and replied: "There is indeed something important. The person who was sent to Qi State to deal with the war horses has come, saying that he has brought important news and wants to see Master Dao."
Niu Youdao said: "Where are the people? Why haven't you seen them here? They are in the shop?"
Shopkeeper Pan shook his head: "No, I said something happened in Qi State, and I fled here. I was afraid of being stared at, so I didn't dare to enter Wubian Pavilion, so I had someone come over and give me a message." He brought back important news, but he refused to tell me the specific situation. He said that the master told you about the war horse and he was only willing to see you. He would not show up until he saw you, and asked Taoist Master to meet outside Wubian Pavilion."
Black Peony looked solemn, wondering what happened to make her look so serious.
Niu Youdao asked: "Do you know the specific meeting place?"
Shopkeeper Pan: "I know, he said that as soon as you arrive, he will show up."
Niu Youdao: "Okay! Wait outside the door and let me change into clothes that are suitable for walking at night."
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Pan bowed slightly and went out first.
Niu Youdao watched him off calmly. As soon as the door closed, he immediately turned his head and whispered: "Send the signal!"
Black Mudan was stunned, "Master Tao suspects Shopkeeper Pan?"
Niu Youdao: "I'm not doubting Shopkeeper Pan, but Linghuqiu has been with me too closely all the way. It's hard for me to create opportunities for the guests. Linghuqiu has always been with me."
Black Peony was a little confused about what he meant, "Does it have anything to do with the matter in front of you?"
Niu Youdao: "We have never been separated along the way. Just after Linghu Qiu left, someone here asked me about something and asked me to go out to meet. Is it a coincidence?"
Black Peony: "Then you still doubt Shopkeeper Pan."
Niu Youdao: "If Linghuqiu doesn't come to me to explain, I don't know he's gone. I'm afraid I won't think much about it. Even if Linghuqiu doesn't come to explain, it's always right to be careful. Driving with caution will last forever." Ship! Stop dawdling." He tilted his head to signal.
Black Peony hummed and called the moon butterfly over, leading it to the window and making the moon butterfly circle in the window.
It wasn't until a moon butterfly circled in a window far ahead that Black Peony took the moon butterfly away, turned around and nodded to Niu Youdao, saying it was okay.
Niu Youdao walked to the wall and took off a black cloak hanging on the wall.
He didn't bring the black cloak, but it was prepared by the inn. There are two in each guest room, prepared for the guests' confidentiality needs, and for some guests who don't want to reveal their true colors when entering and leaving the inn.
The cloak is spread over the body, tied with a rope on the chest, and put on!
A hand stretched out from the cloak, grasped the sword in the air with five fingers, and absorbed the sword on the sword stand into the hand, and together with the arm, it disappeared into the wide cloak.
Seeing Black Mudan also taking off his cloak from the wall, Niu Youdao said calmly: "You stay, you don't have to follow."
Black Mudan was stunned, "Master Dao is going alone?"
"Yeah!" Niu Youdao nodded, raised his hand and put the hat on his back, covering half of his face.
Black Peony suddenly became anxious and lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Don't you suspect that someone is going to attack you? What if it is really that mysterious force? It has been planning to attack you for so long. If you don't take action, it will be fatal. hit!"
Niu Youdao: "If it's really that mysterious force, what's the use of going?"
Black Peony was anxious, "One more person is better than none!"
"Are you going to be a burden?" Niu Youdao said as he walked away.
Black Mudan quickly stepped forward and stopped him with her hand, "Master Dao, you can't take risks like this. Since you suspect there is a problem, don't go!"
"Did everything I told you before be in vain? Only go there if you have a problem! You can't catch the tiger's cubs unless you enter the tiger's den, so get out of the way!"
"Master Dao, you can't go, just Duan Hu and I can go!"
"The target is me, what's the point of going? Get out of the way!"
"Master Dao, you can't be like this. If something happens to you, Duan Hu and I, as well as the three factions, will not be able to gain a foothold on Prince Yongping's side."
Niu Youdao suddenly stretched out a hand from his robe, touched the tip of her nose with a finger, slid it to her waist, and pulled one arm directly into his arms.
The suddenness almost startled Black Mudan.
Black Peony, who was shorter than him, raised his head and saw clearly the half-smile under his hat. He couldn't help but feel angry and amused that he was still in the mood to tease her at this time.
She simply opened her arms and hugged him tightly, "Don't go, I'll sleep with you. My job is very good, I guarantee your satisfaction!"
Niu Youdao whispered in her ear: "What does it have to do with me if you live well? Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and going to the tiger mountains, it depends on more than just courage. I just want to tell you that monks with cultivation levels below the Nascent Soul stage, No one can kill me easily!"
This is not a lie, he still has nine talismans in the Dharma-transmitting amulet that Dong Guo Haoran passed on to him!
Black Mudan didn't believe it, but Niu Youdao didn't have time to talk nonsense with her. He had already pulled her away and slapped her on the butt with a "snap".
Inadvertently, the 'Taoist' demeanor that I once had on the road came out again.
Black Mudan rubbed her butt smoothly, but felt nothing and wanted to stop it.
Niu Youdao lifted his hat, looked at her coldly with a solemn expression, and pointed at her, "If you don't understand the rules, go find the monkey and let him teach you! If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out of here!"
That's really saying that if you fall in love, you will fall out. Just now, you were teasing her. She fell out faster than turning the page in a book. Her expression was fierce and scary!
Black Peony looked frozen, frozen in place.
Niu Youdao has strode away, opening the door, going out, and closing the door.
In the corridor outside, Shopkeeper Pan was wandering around. He raised his head suddenly and saw Niu Youdao coming out. He immediately approached him and said, "Master Dao!"
"Let's go!" Niu Youdao pulled the hat behind him to cover his head.
"Uh..." Shopkeeper Pan looked behind him and couldn't help but wonder: "Are you alone?"
Niu Youdao said strangely: "Didn't you say that he is only willing to see me? There must be some important secret. Why are there so many people there?"
"..." Shopkeeper Pan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes." He quickly extended his hand to invite me.
The two of them walked quickly and quickly left the Tianhu Inn. When they walked onto an arch bridge, Shopkeeper Pan nodded slightly in the direction of a dark attic not far away. Niu Youdao could not be seen with such a big hat on his head anyway.
The tall and thin man standing at the window watched for a while, then turned around, lit the light in the room, and fastened the lampshade on it.
The room was bright, but he opened the door and left...
In the Qiyun Sect's shop, Linghu Qiu was wandering back and forth with his hands behind his back, waiting.
After a while, a fair and well-dressed man walked over lightly. It was Shopkeeper Fan who was in charge of the shop here.
Linghu Qiu, who was wandering around, immediately stopped. Laoyuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Fan! We haven't seen you for many years, and your style is even better than before!"
Shopkeeper Fan stopped, looked at him up and down, and asked calmly: "Brother Linghu, what do you want from me?"
His tone was far from polite, and with Qiyun Sect's status in the spiritual world, there was no need for him to take Linghu Qiu too seriously.
The reason is very simple. If you really encounter a problem that even the Qiyun Sect cannot solve, it will be useless to go to Linghu Qiu, a so-called famous person in the Jin Kingdom. And if Qiyun Sect really wanted to ask Linghuqiu to do something, Linghuqiu would probably find it difficult to refuse.
Linghu Qiu was stunned, "Isn't it that Shopkeeper Fan is looking for me?"
Shopkeeper Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Am I looking for you?"
Linghuqiu's eyes narrowed, his face suddenly changed, and he asked again: "Is Li Zhen from your store here?"
Shopkeeper Fan frowned, "What Li Zhen? We don't have such a person in our store. Linghu Qiu, what are you talking about? I don't have time to play with you!"
Linghu Qiu immediately changed his smile and said repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, it seems that I misunderstood. I misunderstood a man named Li Zhen as a person from a noble shop. Damn it! Shopkeeper Fan, I am disrespectful, you If you're busy with your business, don't worry about me, I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around, winked at Hongxiu and Hongfu, and strode out the door to leave.
Hongxiu and Hongfu bowed to Shopkeeper Fan and then quickly turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Fan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, slowly raised his hand, waved his fingers, and immediately a waiter came over and came closer to wait for instructions.
"Why do I feel a little abnormal? Send someone to keep an eye on this guy and see what he is doing!" Shopkeeper Fan said calmly with no expression on his face.
"Yes!" The guy left quickly.
At Tianhu Inn, Linghu Qiu led the two girls back in a hurry, went straight to the door of Niu Youdao's room, and knocked on the door repeatedly.
Black Mudan opened the door and when she saw it was him, she said politely as usual, "Sir!"
Seeing that she was still there, Linghu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced into the room, "Has my brother rested? I have something to see him."
Black Peony: "Unfortunately, someone just looked for Master Dao, and Master Dao went out."
Linghu Qiu's expression suddenly changed again, "Going out? Why are you here? Didn't you go with him?"
Black Peony: "Master Dao won't let me follow."
Linghu Qiu immediately opened the door and walked in. Regardless of whether Black Mudan agreed or not, he looked around the room and found that Niu Youdao was indeed missing.
Hongxiu and Hongfu, who followed, looked at each other in confusion.
"Who is looking for him?" Linghu Qiu suddenly turned around and asked.
Black Mudan said: "I don't know him." She really couldn't tell. If there was nothing wrong with Shopkeeper Pan, talking nonsense might leak the secret.
Linghu Qiu was silent for a while, then changed his smile and said, "Okay, you go to bed early. When my brother comes back, ask him to come to me. I have something to ask him."
"Okay!" Black Peony agreed.
