Hearing this, Niu Youdao frowned suddenly, thoughtfully.
The ghost mother continued: "I have been in Qi for more than a hundred years, and I know some inside information. If the imperial court does not want to allow such a large number of war horses to leave the country, it is impossible for such a large number of war horses to leave the country. Hao Yunsheng knows my secret and is willing to leave. I'm just selling him the money as a favor. The two parties have agreed in advance that I will help him only if he can transport the war horse. So you can rest assured that neither Hao Yun Tu nor Hao Yun Sheng will hold me accountable, and I won't worry about you. , now you just need to keep your promise and leave the person to me!"
He slapped his hand on a pile of gold tickets on the table, "For the sake of this money, I will give you a guarantee. As long as you are safe and sound, I will not touch you this time and let you go!"
It was also true that she saw that the other party had seen through her thoughts and didn't care at all, talking and laughing freely, which made her feel a little unsure. If the other party kept his promise, she would also accept the money and settle the matter, and had no intention of causing unnecessary trouble again. Here After all, it is Yan State.
Niu Youdao nodded slowly and said: "Thank you for your magnanimity, but even though you are willing to let me go, I'm afraid there are people who don't want to let me go!"
The ghost mother's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Do you want to try it?"
"No, no, no! The ghost mother misunderstood, and it wasn't me." Niu Youdao waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not me who doesn't want to let you go, but the Emperor of Qi, Haoyun Tu!"
Guan Fangyi on the side was waving a round fan in her hand and looked at Niu Youdao with interest, wanting to see what this guy wanted to do.
Seeing that Niu Youdao didn't take it seriously, she felt a lot more at ease. After being in contact with him for so long, she knew a little bit about Niu Youdao's ability, and she also gained a little more confidence in him.
Of course, she still has the talisman hidden in her sleeve, and is ready to explode at any time.
Ghost Mother: "Are you worrying too much?"
Niu Youdao asked back: "Do you think that the power of Haoyun Tu is not enough to destroy you and trap you in Yinshan?"
Ghost Mother: "If an enemy country comes to attack, I will help them in Zhenyinshan. Haoyuntu is not a fool and can clearly distinguish the pros and cons."
Niu Youdao: "It depends on what it is. If the Shen Yin Mountain threatens his throne, he is afraid that he will mobilize a large number of monks to wipe out the Shen Yin Mountain!"
The ghost mother sneered: "I'm threatening his throne by being trapped in the Yinshan Mountains? You mean Hao Yunsheng, right? Can you threaten his throne by sending people to escort Hao Yunsheng on the ship? It's a big joke!"
Niu Youdao: "When you travel around the world, you follow the right path and make friends. If the ghost mother doesn't dislike it, I would like to sworn sworn brothers with the ghost mother and have different surnames. What do you think?"
This suddenly appeared, and several people listening were stunned.
The ghost mother was also stunned for a long time, and finally sarcastically said: "You are sworn sworn friends with me? When I became famous, I'm afraid your grandpa is still unknown, so why do you swore a sworn vows with me?"
"Pfft..." Guan Fangyi covered her mouth, trembling with laughter.
The ghost mother raised her eyes and asked, "Is what I said funny?"
"No, no." Guan Fangyi held back her smile and waved her fan. She couldn't help but laugh. She thought of Niu Youdao's sworn brother Linghuqiu. She knew very well who got Linghuqiu in. In jail.
The expression on Gongsun Bu's face was also very exciting. He found that Taoist masters liked to make sworn vows to others.
Niu Youdao turned back and stared at Guan Fangyi coldly, secretly blaming the woman for not knowing how to cooperate, and then turned around and said, "Well, since the ghost mother looks down on her, there are some things in Qi that I don't want to get involved in for no reason. and go in." He reached out and gestured to the golden ticket on the table, "Please keep the golden ticket, and Zhang Xingrui will return it intact. You should receive the news within a few days. If you are worried, you can keep an eye on me at any time. "
After saying that, he stood up and cupped his hands.
Just as he was about to turn around, the ghost mother suddenly asked, "Do you think it makes sense to engage in this self-deceptive sworn sworn relationship?"
Guan Fangyi had finished secretly talking, and being able to ask this question showed that the ghost mother was hung up by Niu Youdao's words. Apparently she was still a little worried that Haoyuntu would be detrimental to Shenyin Mountain, and she might not feel at ease if she didn't understand clearly.
Niu Youdao: "Whether it's meaningful depends on the future, and time will tell people's hearts! It's meaningless, and neither you nor I will lose anything. At worst, we won't have contact with each other until we die."
Ghost Mother: "I'm warning you, it's best not to play tricks on me!"
The implication is obvious. If the situation you mentioned does not exist, the so-called sworn sworn relationship cannot restrain me.
Niu Youdao asked back: "Can you make it through?"
When the conversation reached this point, the ghost mother simply said, "Let's get started!"
Niu Youdao turned back: "Gongsun, set up the incense table!"
Gongsun Bu twitched the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Yes!" He turned around and left.
Guan Fangyi shook her fan in her hand and looked up at the roof, looking left and right, wondering what she was looking for.
Lu Lijun, who was accompanying the ghost mother, had a very exciting expression, looking at the serious Niu Youdao from time to time...
Just outside the inn, the incense table was set up, and two sworn worshipers walked side by side, and some good incense was delivered to them.
Niu Youdao was straightforward, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down.
The ghost mother turned her head and stared at him in silence for a while, obviously hesitant.
Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ghost Mother: "I heard that Linghu Qiu and the elder of the Tianyu Sect are also your sworn brothers?"
Niu Youdao: "They don't affect each other."
After hesitating for a while, the ghost mother finally knelt down and made a vow of sworn devotion to her.
At this time, Niu Youdao knew that the real name of the ghost mother was Wu Xuejun.
The commotion here naturally attracted many nearby monks who were on guard for the war horses to come and watch. Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, Meng Shanming and others came, Fei Changliu, Zheng Jiuxiao, Xia Hua and others came. A group of ghost cultivators were also puzzled. Most of them couldn't understand what was going on.
Fei, Zheng, and Xia, who had witnessed Niu Youdao and Linghuqiu's sworn sworn relationship, were very moved. Who were they sworn sworn friends with? Still a female ghost cultivator.
After placing the incense and completing the ceremony, Niu Youdao solemnly raised his hands to the ghost mother and said, "Sister!"
The ghost mother turned around and went straight back to the inn.
Fei, Zheng, and Xia immediately stepped forward and grabbed Niu Youdao, who was about to enter the inn. Xia Hua asked: "My Taoist master, where are you from? Who is this person you are sworn with?" ?”
"Oh, Ghost Mother!" Niu Youdao dropped his words and walked away.
"Ghost mother?"
"Is she the ghost mother of Qi who was trapped in the Yinshan Mountains?"
"There seems to be no other person named Ghost Mother in the spiritual world, right?"
The three of them were all surprised when you asked me and I asked you. I don’t know what the situation was. How could the Ghost Mother of the Fallen Yin Mountain become sworn sworn friends with Niu Youdao
The three of them wanted to go in to see what was going on, but they were stopped by the ghost cultivators blocking the outside of the inn, preventing others from entering.
After the three of them retreated, Shang Chaozong asked, "Who is the woman who has sworn sworn relationship with Master Tao?"
Fei Changliu said: "My lord, that is not a human being, but a ghost cultivator who has manifested his form. The ghost mother of the Qi Kingdom who was trapped in the Yin Mountain. Her ranking on the elixir list is higher than that of Zhuo Chao who Niu Youdao killed."
"Is this person the Ghost Mother?" Lan Ruoting was surprised.
The names displayed on the list of pills are, to a certain extent, for the eyes of powerful people like them. Anyone who sees such a special person as the Ghost Mother will be deeply impressed.
In short, Shang, Lan, and Meng looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand how a character like Ghost Mother could become sworn sworn friends with Niu Youdao, and they couldn't understand what Niu Youdao was doing.
"Our Taoist master likes to make sworn vows with others!" Xia Hua suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Bai Yao, who was accompanying Shang Chaozong and was responsible for guarding him, frowned slightly. The ghost mother actually became sworn sworn brother with Niu Youdao. What happened
In fact, for the ghost mother, this sworn alliance has no meaning to her, and she is not prepared to take on any obligations of sworn alliance, so she asked in advance whether this self-deceptive sworn alliance is meaningful
Niu Youdao is naturally aware of this.
Of course, one thing is clear to the ghost mother. Since Niu Youdao wants to become a sworn sworn brother, he must have a need for benefits, at least in name, he can benefit from her, and this is the price he pays for what she wants to know.
After sitting down in the inn room, the ghost mother said coldly: "Can we talk now?"
Niu Youdao also sat back opposite her and asked, "Sister, do you know who these war horses are given to?"
Ghost Mother: “I don’t know, does it have anything to do with me?”
"It really doesn't matter." Niu Youdao nodded, and then asked: "I guess the eldest sister doesn't know who is in charge of running these war horses, right?"
Ghost Mother: "Isn't he the King of the West Courtyard?"
Niu Youdao smiled. He had made this guess before, and he probably didn't know the situation on the other side of Zhenyin Mountain.
At first, he listened to Guan Fangyi and thought that Su Zhao and Zhang Xingrui were involved. However, when he found out about the ghost mother, he realized something was wrong.
Shengyin Mountain has an agreement with the Qi court. There is no threat to survival. The conditions in the world do not allow ghost cultivators to do great things. The monks in the world will not allow ghost cultivators to do anything rashly in the world. No matter how stupid the ghost mother is, she knows that with her current strength, she is not suitable to get involved in things that she shouldn't be involved in. The current situation of Zhen Yin Mountain is the best. If she has the conditions to slowly grow and develop the strength of Zhen Yin Mountain, why not end up asking for trouble instead
Therefore, he suspected that the Ghost Mother had no idea that the King of the West Courtyard was having an affair with Xiaoyue Pavilion. In addition, it stands to reason that Xiaoyue Pavilion will not easily reveal its identity to the outside world. The unpredictability of transporting so many war horses makes it too easy to be exposed. If Zhen Yinshan knows too much, Su Zhao's identity will be easily exposed once the incident is revealed. , unlike Xiaoyue Pavilion’s behavior.
He had confirmed it through a series of tests before, otherwise the ghost mother would not have sworn sworn vows with him. Now after listening to the ghost mother's words, he naturally knew it well.
Niu Youdao suddenly said to his left and right: "Excuse me, please step aside for a moment. I have something to talk with the eldest sister in private."
Guan Fangyi, Gongsun Bu and others looked at each other and turned to leave.
He was not afraid of being alone, and the ghost mother certainly had nothing to be afraid of. He also tilted his head to indicate to Lu Lijun and others.
When there were only two people left in the room, Niu Youdaofang reminded: "This batch of war horses was actually secretly managed by Xiaoyue Pavilion!"
The ghost mother was really surprised this time, "Are you saying that the King of the West Courtyard is secretly having an affair with Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Niu Youdao said seriously: "Does the eldest sister know that when I was in Qijing, Hao Yuntu sent the chief internal officer Bu Xun to contact me? Does the eldest sister know why my sworn brother Linghu Qiu was arrested by Hao Yuntu? ? Because Linghuqiu is from Xiaoyue Pavilion! Does the eldest sister know who Su Zhao, the forbidden concubine of the King of the West Courtyard and the proprietress of Baiyunjian, is? Su Zhao is also from the Xiaoyue Pavilion! A discerning person can tell at a glance that the King of the West Courtyard is not willing to accept it. So lonely!”
"Sister, you are involved in this kind of thing. Do you think you will be fine if you just send people to escort the fleet? Even if you have all kinds of excuses, can you make it clear? Do you think Haoyuntu will be gullible? Sister, you are involved in this. If something is bad, why do you have to get involved in the struggle for imperial power? Don't say that you don't know about it. It's easy to talk about other things. For those who threaten Haoyuntu's throne, you should know what will happen if the matter is exposed! Am I harming eldest sister by tying up Zhang Xingrui and robbing these war horses? It’s time for eldest sister to take advantage of this and draw a clear line with Hao Yunsheng. Eldest sister should thank me!”
