,.
Although he quickly suppressed the choking, he seemed to be coughing even more violently, giving the impression that he was about to cough out his lungs.
Niu Youdao coughed and pointed at himself, waved his hands to several people, saying that he was in trouble and could not accompany him anymore, so he left the table directly, coughing and left.
Just ran away? Several people looked at each other speechless.
Shang Shuqing was silent. After hearing what Yuan Gang said, she originally wanted to ask Niu Youdao to play and sing the lyrics, but she didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
Watching Niu Youdao leave, Yuan Gang's mouth twitched. If others don't know, how can he not know what kind of person Master Dao is? He escaped on the pretext of coughing. He also wanted to trick Master Dao. Well, it turned out that the Taoist was just the Taoist. He didn’t even need an explanation, he just got off the donkey and got out!
Yuan Gang was speechless because he failed to trick him. He didn't say anything and didn't say goodbye to anyone. He turned around and walked away with his sword in hand like a stranger.
The three Shang Chaozong people then realized that Niu Youdao had taken the opportunity to escape!
Looking at the food and wine on the table, he was sprayed by Niu Youdao and couldn't eat anymore. Lan Ruoting shook his head and said: "The words are indeed good words. I don't know who said the truth!"
Shang Chaozong snorted coldly, "Whose words do you think are more credible? Do you still need to say?"
Shang Shuqing moved her steps lightly, turned around and walked to the railing, looked at the rolling river under the moonlight, and slowly chanted: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right or wrong, success or failure is in vain, but the green mountains are still there, several times The sunset is red... What a green mountain is still there, how many times the sunset is red... I only sit in front of flowers when I'm sober, and I come to sleep under flowers when I'm drunk! One is a heroic vicissitude, the other is a pastoral garden of poetry and wine, but both of them have a faint meaning of worldly fame and fortune. , it is possible that they come from the same person! But he still refuses to talk to each other, and deliberately keeps a distance from us. Brother, we are afraid that we cannot keep this person, and he may have to part ways with us sooner or later!"
Shang Chaozong had an unhappy look on his face, "Following us is dangerous, just to protect yourself, it's a reasonable thing!"
Lan Ruoting sighed: "Anyway, at least the other party's intention to leave proves that he is not sent by an outsider to plot evil!"
Inside the tent, Niu Youdao sat cross-legged on a felt and meditated.
The curtain opened, Yuan Gang entered, and asked lightly, "Is the late night snack delicious?"
"What delicious food can there be? In addition to steaming, boiling, and roasting, it can also be steamed, boiled, and roasted. There are too few cooking methods here. When we settle down, this matter needs to be solved!" At this point, Niu Youdao opened his mouth. He squinted his eyes and said angrily: "Monkey, you can do it, just turn your elbows outward!"
Do you still have the nerve to say it? Yuan Gang gave him a look of contempt, not bothering to talk to him about unreliable things. He inserted the sword and scabbard in front of him, turned around and sat down on the felt on the floor opposite, "Master Dao, Li Nanshan The temple is not far away, are you sure someone will attack you at Nanshan Temple?"
Niu Youdao also immediately forgot what happened just now. Between the two of them, what happened just now was nothing to them. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "If Tuhan doesn't remind me, I'm just afraid Unexpectedly, since Tu Han reminded me, with that fake letter, the matter is probably 90% likely. If they want to attack me in Nanshan Temple, there are only two possibilities, either someone from the Shangqing Sect hides in Nanshan Temple and attacks me. Or someone else wants to attack me at Nanshan Temple."
Yuan Gang asked directly: "What do you want to do?"
Niu Youdao: "First of all, I haven't lived impatiently yet, and I don't want to die yet. The ideal solution is to make the Shangqing Sect mistakenly think that it has solved me, and then cut off the Shangqing Sect and stare at me again. The possibility of not letting go allows us to leave calmly and buy time for us to improve our strength. In this way, even if the Shangqing Sect discovers that I am still alive and we have strength, we don’t need to be afraid of him. This is the safest option. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous if I were entangled by the masters of the Shangqing Sect. We would be at a disadvantage if we were not familiar with each other. This is why I dare not leave this team. No matter how bad the Shang Chaozong is, he is still a prince. When a big shot opens his mouth, the Qing sect doesn’t even dare to openly attack the Shang sect’s troops!”
The two have cooperated in a tacit understanding for many years. At this point, Yuan Gang probably understood what Niu Youdao wanted to do and asked: "Li Dai Tao Zang?"
Niu Youdao nodded and said: "In this way, the two in Nanshan Temple may mean two results. If someone from the Shangqing Sect attacks me, the other party will most likely know me. It will be useless for Li Daitao to be stiff. After that, it will still be He will come after me. If he is not from the Shangqing Sect, he can successfully hide the truth!"
Yuan Gang: "Specific plan?"
Niu Youdao: "You must look for someone among these five hundred people. Find someone who is roughly similar to me in outline. You can find a way to modify him and send him to Nanshan Temple. If he is not from the Shangqing Sect, he will be seen. The person pretending to be my letter holder will definitely do something poisonous. Once the person dies, the killer will think he has succeeded, and the people from the Shang Dynasty Sect will definitely go to find their own people. We can take the opportunity to escape quickly. If we are people from the Shangqing Sect, we will not start to alert the snake. If you Seeing that the person came out safely, we immediately sent out a distress signal and led the Shang Chaozong troops to rush to the rescue. Firstly, we tried to get the Shangchaozong troops to entangle the murderer. Secondly, we wanted to attract the murderer's attention, at least not to let the murderer know our whereabouts immediately. We We can take the opportunity to escape! In short, no matter what the outcome is, there is no need for us to take risks with these brothers and sisters. We should light the fire and leave immediately!"
Yuan Gang nodded: "I understand, I will handle this matter, and you can stabilize Shang Chaozong and the others!"
Niu Youdao sighed and said, "Didn't I just want to stabilize them? What are you causing trouble?"
Yuan Gang turned his head and lay on the felt with his eyes closed to sleep, pretending that he didn't hear anything...
At dawn the next day, Yuan Gang fetched water and helped Niu Youdao prepare all the water he needed in the morning.
While washing outside the tent, Niu Youdao, who was looking around, saw people and horses running around, so he turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Yuan Gang: "After hearing a few words, I went into the mountains to cut trees and built rafts to cross the river."
"Oh!" Niu Youdao looked around.
After washing up, Niu Youdao walked around and saw Shang Chaozong and others pointing at the river on the slope of the river. Niu Youdao took the initiative to get closer and said, "My lord, there is such a big movement, do you want to build a raft to cross the river?" "
Several people looked back and said hello one after another. Lan Ruoting smiled and said: "Yes! It would be easier if only people were crossing the river. With so many horses, it would be inconvenient if we don't build hundreds of rafts."
Niu Youdao looked up and down and asked curiously: "Is there no bridge up and down?"
Lan Ruoting: "Master doesn't know something. Feng Lingbo, the governor of Guangxi County, has his own troops. In order to prevent the imperial army, he strictly controls the ships on the river. As for the bridges on the river, they are also burned and destroyed. The detour is too far. We The only way is to cross the river by Zhamupai."
"Supporting soldiers and respecting yourself?" Niu Youdao walked among a few people and looked at the shadowy scenery on the other side. "A mere county guard dares to fight against the imperial army. Is this Feng Lingbo very powerful?"
The brothers and sisters of the Shang Dynasty looked at each other. They didn't even know this, and they didn't know if Niu Youdao was asking questions knowingly.
Lan Ruoting smiled, stroking his beard and said: "It is impossible for one county to resist the entire imperial court with its strength. However, the imperial court is facing the pressure of the enemy's army and it is not suitable to cause civil strife. And Feng Lingbo does have some strength and is backed by a spiritual sect. Not to mention, he also has a hundred thousand elite troops under his command. The eldest son Feng Ruoyi and the second son Feng Ruojie are both tiger generals who are good at conquering and fighting. Even his daughter Feng Ruonan is a female general who will not be outdone by women. Feng Lingbo has two sons. As a general, she defeated the imperial army several times in a row, forcing the imperial court to appease her for the time being and not dare to completely force her to rebel. In addition, Quang Ngai County is located in a land of plenty, with a mild climate, sufficient food, and a large population. It can be said that it has given Feng Lingbo has sufficient innate conditions for self-reliance, so he dares to take advantage of the imperial court’s internal and external troubles to fight against him!”
A county guard below dares to support his troops and respect himself. It seems that the Yan Kingdom is in big trouble! Niu Youdao looked thoughtful and muttered, "Feng Ruonan..."
He remembered something. When he was rafting along the river just after leaving Xiaomiao Village, he met a female general who told him to come to Quang Ngai County to seek refuge. He remembered that the nameplate given to him had a phoenix engraved on it. There is a word for 'male'.
Lan Ruoting, who heard the chanting, tried to ask, "Does Master know Feng Lingbo's daughter Feng Ruonan?"
"Haha!" Niu Youdao smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the temporary garrison at the rear. Shang Chaozong suddenly turned around and shouted: "What's going on?"
Niu Youdao, who looked back, saw that Yuan Gang was surrounded by a group of people, and his brows moved slightly.
Several people then walked quickly. Centurion Guan Tie stepped forward to clear the way, and the surrounding crowd moved aside. Seeing that Yuan Gang was clearly confronting his bodyguard, Shang Chaozong shouted again: "What's going on?"
Yuan Gang stood motionless, expressionless. Another centurion opposite him, Chen Shulin, pointed at Yuan Gang and said with an angry look on his face: "Your Majesty, he said that our Ying Yang and Wu Lie guards are useless!"
Several people quickly stared at Yuan Gang. Shang Shuqing secretly felt strange. This Yuan Gang was definitely not a troubled person. How could he say such a thing
Shang Chaozong: "Brother Yuan, is this possible?"
Yuan Gang said indifferently: "I said that."
This sentence aroused more and more public outrage. Everyone around them had angry expressions on their faces. Even Shang Chaozong's face darkened. Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing looked at each other.
Niu Youdao, who used the sword as a crutch wherever he went, swung the sword with one hand and shouted casually, "Monkey, what are you talking about?"
Yuan Gang said calmly: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling the truth. If anyone is not convinced, you can compare!"
The two guards immediately geared up one by one, obviously preparing to give Yuan Gang a good beating.
Shang Chaozong was in high spirits. He made eye contact with Yuan Gang when he first saw him. He believed that he would not misjudge Yuan Gang's temperament. He had long wanted to find out what Yuan Gang's abilities were. At this time, the opportunity came to him. When he saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Okay! Which brother can come out and play with Brother Yuan!"
"I!"
"I come!"
"Your Majesty, let me come!"
A group of people scrambled to be the first, but finally centurion Chen Shulin shouted, suppressing the opinions of others and taking the stage himself. ,.
