He was referring to the mountains surrounding the capital.
Qi State is a grassland country, and mountains as tall as those around the capital are relatively rare. On the mountains surrounding the capital with a basin-like terrain, there are three sects gathered, named Daqiumen, Xuanbing Sect, and Tianhuo Sect. Each of the three sects occupies A land of exquisite beauty, each occupying one side and guarding the capital city. It is also one of the most powerful sects among the cultivation sects in Qi. They are among the most powerful sects in the world, and they also have a place in Piao Miao Pavilion.
The Dauchi protectors in the palace come from these three sects, and Lady Pei and others are disciples of the Daqiu sect.
Linghu Qiu muttered: "I know a few of the three sects, what do you think?"
Niu Youdao: "My brother also knows the current situation. As I said to Feng Entai before, it is difficult to get rid of this thing. Here, the only ones who dare to take it are those three factions."
Linghuqiu: "You want to give things to those three factions?"
Niu Youdao: "This thing can be sold for a lot of money. If you give it to them for free, you won't dislike it, right?"
Linghu Qiu sighed: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. With the influence of those three parties on Qi State, I really want some documents for the war horses to leave the country. It's just a matter of one sentence. I don't want you to have it."
Niu Youdao: "How will you know if you don't try? If they really don't want it, ask them to cooperate and auction these documents. I won't take any money from the auction, and I will give it all to you!"
Linghu Qiu's face is troubled.
"Brother, please help me!" Niu Youdao stood up and bowed.
Linghu Qiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and said with a reluctant smile: "Okay, I'm just going to leave now. I can only say that I'm trying my best."
"Thank you, brother."
"When will you leave?"
"The sooner the better."
"Do you want to go together?"
"There are too many people staring at this place. It is not appropriate for me to show up in public for the time being. Once things fail and too many people know me, the hope of finally escaping will become slimmer. I have to leave a way out for myself. I will let Duan Hu follow. How about you go with me?"
"Okay!" Linghuqiu nodded in agreement, and smiled bitterly, "When I go out, I'm afraid I will inevitably be stopped and searched, and I don't know how many times I will be searched."
Niu Youdao bowed his hands and apologized: "I have made my brother feel wronged."
"By the way, what do you do with Lao Feng who I just coaxed out?" Linghu Qiu pointed outside.
Niu Youdao: "Of course I won't make it difficult for my brother, Mudan, let him come in."
"Yes!" Black Mudan took the order and left, and after a while, he brought Feng Entai over.
Feng Entai looked at Linghu Qiu but didn't get any sign, then he approached Niu Youdao with a stern look on his face and asked cautiously: "Brother, are you feeling better?"
Niu Youdao squinted coldly, "For the sake of my sworn brother, I will take this matter on my shoulders, and I will risk my life!"
Feng Entai was overjoyed. He cupped his hands towards Linghu Qiu to express his gratitude. He turned around and comforted Niu Youdao: "It's not like that, it's not like that. With my skill, I can turn the bad luck into good luck!"
Niu Youdao: "Don't talk about those useless things. It's you who caused the trouble. If I take this on, I'm risking my life for you. I accept whether you live or die, but you have to have an explanation, right?"
statement? Feng Entai said suspiciously: "What do you want me to say?"
Niu Youdao tapped his fingers on the table, "I'll take care of the matter. You won't add insult to injury, right?"
Feng Entai said seriously: "How could something like this hold you back!"
Niu Youdao: "I have seen the character of your Tianyu Sect this time. Even if you don't hold back, who can guarantee that you won't burn bridges?"
Feng Entai spread his hands and said, "If the matter can pass, it will pass naturally. How can we talk about burning bridges across the river?"
Niu Youdao reminded: "You should know why the three sects came here to take risks. You should know why they came here to take risks. The contract you signed with me before, Tianyumen reneged on it even if they said it, and even took them The safety of the three sects is being threatened, how do I know if you will admit it after this incident?"
It's embarrassing to say this. It's easy for Tianyu Sect to make decisions. Feng Entai is the party who broke the contract in person. He was very embarrassed to be said. He forced himself to smile and said: "We have no choice but to do it now and then. The leader himself does it." After giving the guarantee, I will naturally not break my promise again.”
Niu Youdao: "I can even go back on what is written in black and white. Do you think I still dare to believe what I say without proof?"
Feng Entai sighed and said, "Brother, is it interesting to go around this? You can say it as bluntly as you want, but you also know one thing, I have no right to change Tianyumen's position."
Niu Youdao stared at him and said slowly: "If you don't mind, how about we sworn brothers with different surnames?"
"..." Feng Entai was confused, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked, "Brother, what did you say?"
Linghu Qiu was stunned.
Niu Youdao: "I said we would become brothers with different surnames."
I'm a lot older, and I'm sworn brother with a young man like you? Feng Entai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This... this... brother, what are you doing!"
Niu Youdao: "Whether your Tianyu Sect will regret it after this, I'm not sure at all. If you really want to regret it, I can't do anything to you. The only thing I can hope for now is morality." , if Brother Feng really wants to be a treacherous person, then I can only admit defeat!"
Feng Entai's expression was wonderful, and he sighed and said: "You are worrying too much, the master has spoken personally, how can he not keep his word?"
Niu Youdao: "Are you unwilling to do so because of the trouble, or do you know that Tianyu Sect will definitely burn bridges afterwards and don't want to be that treacherous person?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Feng Entai turned around and looked at Linghuqiu, "Brother Linghu, you are the one to judge."
Linghuqiu's face was expressionless, he looked up at the roof, and wondered: "You can figure it out yourself."
"Oops!" Feng Entai shook his head helplessly and waved his hand: "That's it, that's all, brother, as long as you promise to take care of this matter, I will sworn brothers with you as brothers with different surnames. How satisfying is that?" He muttered in his heart and added, It must be a sacrifice for Tianyumen, otherwise if this guy doesn't agree, he won't be able to do it.
Niu Youdao: "I want to invite your Tianyu Sect disciples here to come together to testify!"
"You..." Feng Entai hesitated to speak, and finally nodded helplessly with his eyes closed, "Okay, okay, it's up to you!"
As soon as the matter was settled, Black Peony immediately became busy and asked people to set up an incense table outside.
After the incense table was set up, a dozen disciples from Tianyu Sect gathered in the courtyard to watch the ceremony. Many disciples were depressed. If the master became Niu Youdao's sworn brother, how would the seniority be discussed
Everything was ready, Niu Youdao grabbed some good incense in his hand, gave three sticks to Feng Entai, and handed another three sticks to Linghuqiu who was watching the ceremony, "Brother, you and I are sworn brothers. After you become sworn brothers with Brother Feng, you are considered brothers, how about we worship together again?"
"Haha!" Linghu Qiu laughed dryly, muttering in his heart, are you a sworn brother too cheap
Seeing how Niu Youdao frequently became sworn brothers, he doubted whether Niu Youdao had other sworn brothers.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, and that what Niu Youdao said made sense, and it was difficult to refuse in this situation, Linghu Qiu could only walk forward uncomfortably, holding the incense in his hand.
Black Peony was at the side to guide the worshipers. The old, middle-aged and young people knelt in front of the incense table and swore an oath to heaven and earth, which could be described as righteous words.
After praying, the three of them went to the incense table one after another and put incense in the incense burner. Immediately, they all held up their wine glasses with a smile on their faces, held hands with each other, and called each other in order.
Feng Entai is the eldest brother, Linghuqiu is the second brother, and Niu Youdao becomes the third brother.
"Brother, after this incident, I'm sure you won't abandon me, right?" Niu Youdao asked Feng Entai while toasting.
Feng Entai sighed: "Third brother, you are worrying too much! But things must be resolved one after another. I hope that you will follow the decision made by Tianyu Sect and don't embarrass me."
"Easy to say!" Niu Youdao agreed readily.
After the three of them drank the sworn wine, Niu Youdao immediately asked Black Mudan to take out the hidden contract and return it with his own hands.
Feng Entai received the hand and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was written by himself, he immediately took the incense candle and lit it. In front of everyone, the contract was reduced to ashes. He himself breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. .
However, the incense candles in front of him made him a little tired. He hoped that the master would keep his promise and not go back on his word, otherwise he would be embarrassed. So many of his fellow disciples had witnessed it with their own eyes. Also, if Niu Youdao is really in danger this time, will he care or not? The Tianyu Sect may be able to stay out of the matter, but if he stays out of the matter, how will his fellow disciples view him
Without further delay, Linghu Qiu had something to do. After going back to make some preparations, he took Duan Hu and left in a hurry.
After the others dispersed, Feng Entai asked Niu Youdao how he was going to deal with the matter. Niu Youdao briefly explained what he had arranged for Linghu Qiu to do.
"I hope it can happen!" Feng Entai sighed. He felt that the hope of this matter was a bit slim.
For now, there is no other way. Everyone can only wait here for news about Linghu Qiu.
It was only in the evening that Linghu Qiu and Duan Hu returned.
Feng Entai was the first to stand up and asked Linghu Qiu: "Second brother, how are you?"
Niu Youdao also showed expectation.
"Alas!" Linghu Qiu walked into the pavilion, sat down, and waved to Duan Hu, "Ask him, he also witnessed the whole process, I have tried my best."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Entai and Niu Youdao looked at each other and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Duan Hu explained the situation in detail. Linghu Qiu did his best. He found a way to find acquaintances from Daqiumen, Xuanbing Sect, and Tianhuo Sect to build bridges, and met with the top leaders of the three sects. However, once the situation is discussed, it is up to you. No matter how much you ask, it's useless. They don't want the exit documents for the 100,000 war horses, nor the money you sold them.
In the end, an acquaintance of Linghuqiu secretly revealed some information to Linghuqiu. In fact, it was not a matter of disclosure or non-disclosure. When the matter reached this point, the intention of the Emperor of Qi was already obvious.
Linghu Qiu's acquaintances informed that there were indeed too many monks gathered in the capital of Qi State. Not only was the emperor afraid, but the three sects themselves were also uncomfortable. This was also considered the territory of the three sects, and more and more external forces gathered here. What's going on, I feel the need to clean it up.
More importantly, the emperor has already vented his anger to the three factions, and the three factions have also sent personnel to intervene in the matter. How can they ruin their own situation? Naturally they will not agree.
The man told Linghu Qiu to respect himself, leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and not to get involved in things that he shouldn't get involved in and cause trouble for himself.
