"Whether you should hate me or not, I don't have to say, let time answer!"
This was Niu Youdao's answer to her.
After that, Niu Youdao had someone call Feng Entai over, called him to Guan Fangyi's study, and invited him to the map.
"Going back to Qingshan County?" Feng Entai was surprised and shocked, "The matter of the war horse has not been settled yet, so we are going back like this?"
Niu Youdao shook his head: "It's not us, it's you. It's your Tianyu Sect disciples who should go back first. I'll handle the matter of the war horses."
Feng Entai said with a solemn expression: "How can that be done? You and I are brothers. How can I, the eldest brother, leave the burden to you alone for such a thing?"
He was just saying this politely. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to waste it like this anymore.
Niu Youdao: "Brother, as you said, you will be at my disposal regarding the war horses!"
"This..." Feng Entai hesitated and said suspiciously: "What are you going to do if you stay here?"
"Don't ask, you go first, and you have to go quietly, and keep it secret..." Niu Youdao warned carefully.
Feng Entai couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, but the initiative was in the opponent's hands and he couldn't defeat him. In addition, he didn't have to do anything. He just asked them to go back to Qingshan County, so he finally agreed.
After Feng Entai left, Niu Youdao stood in front of the map and stared at it without saying a word.
Only he knew best that Wei Chu died because Xiaoyue Pavilion wanted to lure him to leave the capital. Once he left, it was no longer whether Linghuqiu wanted to attack him, but Xiaoyue Pavilion would definitely attack him on the way. He You can't let Xiaoyue Pavilion know where you are going.
The disciples of the Tianyu Sect are just a group of people used to cover up people's ears.
Once Xiaoyue Pavilion discovers that he has escaped from the capital, a comprehensive search will inevitably be launched. He didn't know how powerful Xiaoyue Pavilion was in Qi State, and he didn't know whether the Tianyumen disciples led by Feng Entai could escape Xiaoyue Pavilion's search. After all, such a large group of people could easily attract attention. Although he told Feng Entai to change his appearance and leave quietly.
Even if Xiaoyue Pavilion did not discover the whereabouts of the Tianyumen disciples, he would expose the whereabouts of Feng Entai and the others. He should divert Xiaoyue Pavilion's attention and try his best to let Xiaoyue Pavilion concentrate its power on Qi to pursue them. This way, Feng Entai and the others can minimize his own pressure and risks and buy time for his evacuation.
He knew that this was tantamount to asking Tianyumen disciples to die, and it was also tantamount to asking Feng Entai to die.
Faced with a behemoth like Xiaoyue Pavilion, Niu Youdao knew very well that it was impossible for everyone to leave intact. Some people would inevitably have to sleep in the Qi Kingdom, and it was a difficult choice to decide who to sacrifice.
On the ghost mother's side, Guan Fangyi still needs help, and Guan Fangyi will not agree to sacrifice the people of Fufangyuan.
Black Mudan, Gongsun Bu and others, as well as the disciples of Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain, have stayed far away from here, and they are all on his side. Therefore, it seems that the primary target of sacrifice is It's not hard to decide.
In Fufang Garden, the Tianyu Sect disciples were already evacuating quickly, breaking into pieces, dressing up in disguise, and quietly leaving Fufang Garden one by one.
The people in Fufangyuan were also evacuated in batches. After dressing up in disguise, they left through Guan Fangyi's secret passage. Only then did many people in Fufangyuan know that there was such a secret passage in Fufangyuan.
Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi were visiting the capital together to attract attention for everyone's evacuation...
Shenyin Mountain is a restricted area for grassland herdsmen.
There is no way to graze here. For some unknown reason, it is covered by dark clouds all year round. There are thunderbolts and lightning flying through the dark clouds all year round. Occasionally, thunderbolts will suddenly hit the jagged and jagged rocks, sending echoes throughout the valley.
There is little sunshine and no grass grows, so how can we graze
The thin, weird and gloomy hinterland has a gloomy air gushing out all year round, which merges into the dark clouds above. The place where the Yin Qi spurts is like a giant funnel on the earth. The terrain in the funnel is complex, with winding, up and down roads that are not roads, leading to all kinds of gloomy caves of various sizes and weird shapes.
A thunderstorm caused the surrounding rainwater to flow into the middle of the funnel and flow into the underground river.
On a ship with the keel made of the bones of a giant beast, there were two pale-faced ghost cultivators at each end of the ship. Lao Ba stood in the middle and looked around. He had also come back here for the first time.
He waited near Shengyin Mountain for a long time, and came immediately after receiving the summons from Fufangyuan.
From time to time, green wisps of will-o'-the-wisps appeared all around, reflecting in pairs in the water.
There are also the ghosts who have not yet matured, floating, waving their sleeves and dancing, singing quietly, weeping and complaining.
On the top of the bamboo shoots like upside down bamboo shoots, dripping water drops hit the water. The tinkling sound is clear and penetrating, as if there is a mysterious power that strikes the soul.
The Bone Boat docked, and a ghost cultivator climbed up the steps and invited Lao Ba to follow him.
On both sides of the long steps, there are bronze stoves with flickering flames, arranged in pairs at intervals, leading directly to the mouths of the black skeletons above.
The leader stopped outside the giant mouth of the skeleton. Only Lao Ba continued to move forward and entered an underground palace.
After a period of darkness, green fire appeared in front of me, and when I reached the end, I was already in a palace.
There are nine stoves in the temple, surrounded by four on each side. There is one in the middle that is the largest, burning with green will-o'-the-wisps. Everything in the temple is covered in a strange green light. The green light has strong penetrating power, making it difficult to see the surrounding walls. carvings on it.
Lao Ba stopped in the hall and slowly looked around, but there was no one there.
"Zhang Xingrui can't ask someone to bring a letter here. Tell me who asked you to come."
A woman's voice echoed faintly in the hall, with a condescending tone in her cold tone.
Lao Ba turned around quickly, but still saw no one and had no idea where the sound came from.
Lao Ba looked around and replied, "Ghost Mother Mingjian, it is indeed not Zhang Xingrui who asked me to bring the letter. Someone else asked me to bring the letter. The other party said that Ghost Mother lives in seclusion and does not see people easily. I can only tell Zhang Xingrui Only when you come can you see the ghost mother. Here is the letter!" He took out the letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Woohoo!
A gust of wind surged in the hall, and the dark wind gusted. The green ghost fires in the surrounding furnaces surged and turned into eight green fire dragons, hitting the fire statue in the middle. The will-o'-the-wisp in the middle Fire Lord immediately spurted out, drowning the Fire Lord, expanding outward, approaching Lao Ba, causing Lao Ba to quickly take a few steps back.
In the light of the fire, a cold and elegant woman in black walked out of the fire statue, walked in the blazing green flames, and walked up to Lao Ba as if walking down the stairs.
The woman in black stopped, and the green flames of the will-o'-the-wisp shrank rapidly, causing the woman's long hair to flutter.
The will-o'-the-wisps in the Nine Fire Lords returned to their original state, and the woman's long flowing hair also fell gently.
The woman in black was beautiful and indifferent, tall and graceful, and her skin was so fair that it was whiter than snow. She stretched out her slender fingers and touched Lao Ba's forehead with her long pointed nails, slowly sliding towards Lao Ba's cheek.
The fingertips were cold, and Lao Ba felt like a piece of ice sliding on his face.
He withdrew his fingertips from Lao Ba's face, slowly tapped on the letter, pinched it, and picked it up, picking the letter out of Lao Ba's hand.
The woman in black slowly opened the letter in her hand and looked at it with an expressionless face. No emotional changes could be seen on her face, but a green light gradually appeared in her eyes, showing the anger in her heart.
Woohoo!
The hollow wind sound sounded in the hall again, and the will-o'-the-wisps in the surrounding fire masters surged again, turning into eight fire dragons and shooting at Lao Ba angrily.
Lao Ba waved his arms and used Dharma to protect his body.
boom! Amidst the impact of will-o'-the-wisps, green flames trapped an invisible sphere and burned it.
Lao Ba could feel that his protective magic was being violently consumed by the torment of the will-o'-the-wisp, and the protective space was rapidly shrinking. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "If you kill me, they won't kill Zhang Xingrui. If I can't go back alive, they will He just chopped off the arms of Zhang Xingrui’s family of four!”
The woman in black had long hair flying and was furious. The letter in her hand had turned into ashes in the green flames. She pulled out a spear like green crystal from the green flames and stabbed it out with a whoosh.
boom! Lao Ba's body-protecting magic weapon collapsed and exploded with green flames. His whole body spurted blood and fell to the ground, where he vomited blood and was left gasping for breath!
The horrifying sound of metal friction sounded, and the tip of the green spear dragged green sparks on the ground, and finally hit Lao Ba's heart.
The panting Lao Ba and the condescending woman in black, expressionless but with angry eyes, looked at each other and smiled, "A little warmth is in the world, Zhang Xingrui, Zhang Xingrui's son, daughter, and wife..."
On the couch, when the time came, the restriction was automatically lifted, and the couple who were guarding the exit of the secret passage for Guan Fangyi slowly woke up.
The man quickly ran out of the door and ran to the side of the restaurant. He saw that the exit of the secret passage had returned to its original state, and there were no clues.
Turning around and looking at the rising sun, I found that the night had passed.
"Ah Shan." The woman in the room called.
The man ran back quickly, and the lady was holding a piece of paper and a money bag.
The man took it and saw that the money bag was full of gold coins. The paper was a letter, a message from Guan Fangyi to the couple. The letter stated that the bag of gold coins was for the couple and suggested that they leave here...
In the Jade Prince's Mansion, the maid opened a box and pushed it to the Jade Princess who was wearing a jingle ring and exquisite makeup.
Inside the box were the house and land deeds, and a letter.
Princess Jade opened the letter and saw that it was a letter from Niu Youdao, asking her to sell Fufangyuan and transfer the money to Qingshan County through the bank to him...
In the yard not too far from Fufang Garden, Linghu Qiu also received a letter. When he opened it and read the content, his expression gradually twitched.
The letter was also given to him by Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao said that he had followed his wishes and returned to Qingshan County first. He said that the reason why he left without saying goodbye was because he was afraid of danger on the road, and he didn't want to trouble him along the way. He had already troubled him enough. Regarding the war horse, Niu Youdao asked him to do what he could, and the killer's commission would be found for him as soon as possible.
"I'm going to Fufang Garden to have a look!" Linghu Qiu threw the letter to Hongxiu and Hongfu and left quickly.
When we quickly arrived at Fufang Garden, there was no guard at the door, and the garden was very quiet.
"Third brother! Big brother! Third brother..." Linghuqiu looked around and shouted all the way. When he came to the inner garden, the shouting stopped suddenly and he saw a burly man with his back turned to him.
The man turned around slowly, indifferently, and judging from his clothes, he was a burly eunuch.
Linghu Qiu suddenly turned around and saw a group of people appearing, with disciples from the three major sects surrounding them.
