"Is she your woman?"
Guan Fangyi appeared next to him, stared at the tombstone and asked.
She also had a lot of emotions for this woman who was buried here quietly. First of all, she was emotional about this woman's loyalty, and secondly, she was emotional about Duan Hu's talk after he came back.
It is true that this woman acted on her own initiative, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she brought it upon herself, but Niu Youdao insisted on taking the risk and waiting for the woman. When the woman was dying, although she knew that the time for departure had passed, she firmly believed that Niu Youdao Still waiting for her.
Guan Fangyi didn't know if this was a connection, but the separation between yin and yang in front of her made her full of emotion.
Niu Youdao: "Yes, and no, to be precise, he is my person."
Guan Fangyi was surprised: "What do you mean? Is there any difference?"
Niu Youdao did not answer the question, turned around, and his eyes accidentally touched the high pavilion in the villa, where the ghost mother was watching from the railing.
He understood that he was being targeted and would not let go of surveillance on Zhang Xingrui until Zhang Xingrui's matter was settled.
"Did I send my message to Wu Laoer last night?" Niu Youdao asked.
Guan Fangyi: "It's done."
Niu Youdao nodded and asked, "Can you contact Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Guan Fangyi: "How can I contact them? It's not like you don't know how mysterious those people are. You want to contact them? The one in Baiyunjian..."
"She can't do it. We can't expose her yet. We have to keep this tail. We can't grab her yet." Niu Youdao interrupted and asked again: "Xiaoyue Pavilion is a killer organization. There must be someone below to take over the business. "Kou, you have been a broker in Qijing for so many years, don't you know how to contact their stalls?"
Guan Fangyi: "I do know the contact information for the stalls below them, but I only know the ones in the capital of Qi State. I don't know about other places."
"That's enough. Come with me." Niu Youdao dropped his words and left.
The two returned to the villa together and returned to Niu Youdao's room.
Niu Youdao once again put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and sat down. Guan Fangyi looked at the environment in the room and suddenly smiled and said: "I came to see you this morning and saw something I shouldn't have seen from the window. The princess will help you sort it out." What does "fa" mean?"
"It means wearing your hair in a bun."
"Tsk, tsk, the noble princess, the daughter of Lord Ning Shang Jianbo, do you have any other meaning in bundling your hair?"
"You are overthinking it. Don't you understand how the Shang brothers and sisters can win people's hearts?"
Guan Fangyi said oh, and suddenly realized what she was like.
She thought about it, too. What man could fall in love with such an ugly woman? She was so scary. You shouldn't have the kind of relationship you want.
Niu Youdao wrote a few lines with his pen, lifted up the paper and handed it to her, "Send it to Wu Laoer and ask him to find a way to help me deliver it to the stall of Qijing Xiaoyue Pavilion."
Guan Fangyi took it, looked at it, and muttered: "I have what you want, and I am willing to hand it over. I will send someone to negotiate. It's a good deal!" She looked up again, with a puzzled face and said: "What do they want that you have in your hands?"
Niu Youdao: "Whether you know it or you don't know it, knowing too much now is not good for you. You will know it when the time comes."
Guan Fangyi pointed to the paper, "Then what does 'Shang, Niu Youdao' mean? Is it a clerical error or does it refer to the Shang brothers and sisters."
"This is not for you, but for Xiaoyue Pavilion. Send it as soon as possible. Also, ask Yuanfang to come and see me."
"Crossing the river and burning the bridge..." Guan Fangyi cursed and left.
Not long after, Yuan Fang arrived, his sanctimony turned into a smile, he came forward and saluted, "Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao: "Send a message to Chen Guishuo and tell him that as long as we don't take the initiative to contact him, no matter what happens over there, we are not allowed to contact him here, and we are not allowed to have any active contact with him within a year. "
"Okay! Does Mr. Dao have anything else to do?"
"Do it immediately!"
"Yes!" Yuan Fang agreed and left quickly.
Niu Youdao slowly leaned back on the chair, frowning and thinking.
Black Mudan was in trouble, Yuan Gang left, and some confidential matters had to be replaced. He couldn't do everything himself, and he was too busy. Yuanfang's main energy was not in this area at all, and some things were not suitable to be left to Yuanfang. Dry.
…
In the study of Beizhou Governor's Mansion, Shao Pingbo stood in front of the map, staring at the silver needle on the map, his face extremely solemn.
Shao Sansheng stood quietly aside, peeking in from time to time.
Shao Pingbo turned around and said in a deep voice: "The location marked by the silver needle should have arrived at the estuary yesterday. Why hasn't the person who responded received any news yet? If such a big ship enters the small estuary, it can't be invisible, right? ?”
Shao Sansheng lowered his head. There were some things he didn't dare to say!
Shao Pingbo noticed something was wrong, turned around slowly, walked slowly in front of him, stared at his expression, and said word by word: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Shao Sansheng raised his head with difficulty, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "My eldest son, I have received a message and the ship...the people at the entrance did not notice the arrival of the fleet."
Shao Pingbo's eyes widened a bit, and he raised his hand to point to the silver needle on the map, "Then what's going on? The message from the fleet clearly arrived at the estuary, how could it not be discovered?"
Shao Sansheng didn't seem to know how to answer.
Shao Pingbo suddenly took action, grabbed the collar of his clothes, and gritted his teeth and said, "You should know that this is a serious matter. Are you confused? You dare to vaguely explain this kind of thing to me?"
Shao Sansheng said with difficulty: "Eldest Master, there is really no sign of the fleet at the entrance to the sea."
"Then why are you still here? Why don't you quickly confirm the situation?" Shao Pingbo was furious and pushed him away, almost staggering to the ground. He pointed at him, "At the same time, contact Sister Zhao and ask what happened. What’s going on!”
Shao Sansheng had no intention of moving, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Eldest Master, the informant from Qingshan County has received news that Niu Youdao has returned to Qingshan County."
Shao Pingbo was startled for a moment, and then said angrily: "You have been with me for so many years, and you still can't figure out the priorities of things? War horse! War horse! War horse! Ignore him first, figure out the matter of the war horse first!"
Shao Sansheng swallowed dryly and said with difficulty: "The spies from Qingshan County said that Niu Youdao brought back a huge fleet, with about four to five hundred ships, and 30,000 war horses. It seems to be somewhat consistent with the situation of our fleet..." At the end of the sentence, his tone was really heavy.
He had already received this news, but he was not stupid, otherwise he would not have been able to stay with Shao Pingbo for so long. Combined with the news from the estuary, he immediately understood something.
It was precisely because he understood that he did not dare to report it, fearing that the person in front of him would not be able to bear the blow.
"You...you..." Shao Pingbo's face turned pale instantly with his eyes wide open. He slowly raised his hand with trembling hands, pointed at him, and said with a trembling voice, "You...what did you say? Say it again!"
Shao Sansheng lowered his head. He knew that the other party understood clearly. How could the eldest master not understand the strangeness with his intelligence.
Shao Pingbo's Adam's apple twitched. He turned around slowly and pointed at the map and Qi State. His chest rose and fell sharply. After holding it in for a long time, he burst out with a voice of grief and anger, "Su Zhao! What did you hide from me?"
Then he pointed at Shao Sansheng, "You... you are so kind, you are all hiding it from me!"
Shao Sansheng frowned, "Master, your body must not get angry in a hurry. You must not be in a hurry!"
"Cow thief! Shao and you are at odds with each other! Ah..." Shao Pingbo suddenly covered his chest with one hand and let out a scream. His neck was blocked, his head was twisted, and he fell to the ground.
By the time Shao Sansheng heard the sound and raised his head to take a step forward, it was already too late.
Shao Pingbo fell to the ground hard.
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng exclaimed, kneeling on the ground and quickly holding him in his arms.
Shao Pingbo tensed up, clenched his hands into fists, coughed several times with his eyes closed tightly, and choked out mouthfuls of red blood, but his face was as white as paper.
Shao Sansheng immediately raised his head and shouted miserably, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly..."
Several people quickly flashed outside, they were monks from Dachan Mountain. The sight of Shao Pingbo vomiting blood in front of them shocked them.
As Shao Pingbo's bodyguard, no one could escape responsibility if something happened to Shao Pingbo. Everyone was in a hurry and quickly cast spells to rescue Shao Pingbo.
As soon as something happened to this person, the entire top brass of the governor's office was alarmed.
Shao Dengyun came, Zhong Yangxu, who was in charge of the governor's office in Dachanshan, also came, and Shao Liu'er also came.
Zhong Yangxu, who was sitting next to the couch and carefully inspected Shao Pingbo, slowly stood up and said to Shao Dengyun: "Brother Shao, the eldest son is so angry that his blood is beating to his heart. If not for the timely rescue by the monks accompanying him, he would not be able to breathe." If so, I’m afraid I’ll just go.”
Shao Sansheng was wiping tears beside him, and he knew he couldn't tell it, but this matter could be hidden for a while, but not for a long time. If it couldn't be hidden, the eldest son would pay attention to the progress of the fleet every day.
Shao Dengyun, who was already gray-haired, asked, "What's the situation now?"
Zhong Yangxu: "There is no concern for life at the moment, but the heart vessels are seriously damaged and need to rest!"
Shao Dengyun asked: "When will you wake up?"
Zhong Yangxu looked at Shao Pingbo, who was still clenching his fists in a coma, "The physical pain can be cured, but the mental illness is helpless. He is now like a nightmare. When he wakes up, it depends on what he is dreaming about." It’s time to wake up.”
He turned to look at Shao Sansheng again, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Tell me honestly, what happened to make the eldest son so angry?"
Shao Sansheng wiped away his tears and said: "I received news from Qingshan County that Niu Youdao came back from Qi State and brought back a large number of war horses, so...just..."
He was a bit squeaky, and he didn't dare to say anything about Dachanshan secretly getting war horses from Qi.
"Haha!" Zhong Yangxu sneered when he heard this, turned to look at the unconscious Shao Pingbo, and said with emotion: "My eldest son, your eldest son, you can't see that Niu Youdao is a little better than you, why do you do such a thing? Why bother to make yourself so angry? You are too narrow-minded. What do you want me to say about you? Alas!" He tossed his sleeves and fell behind him, shaking his head with a look on his face. Left helplessly.
