Hearing this, Lan Ruoting and Meng Shanming exchanged glances. They were afraid that if this person was afraid that Tianyumen would not intervene, the entire Shang Dynasty Sect would be in Tianyumen's hands. If this person didn't care, it would really be a disaster here. There was no room for resistance, so they could only obey. Now seeing that this person was ready to demolish the Feng Lingbo Tower, he obviously made a plan before taking action. Since he knew what he was doing and had planned it for a long time, the two of them felt a lot more at ease.
After a while, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao, who bid farewell as the head of the family, also came, and Feng Entai saw off the three of them on behalf of Tianyumen.
After sending the person out of the mountain gate, Feng Entai pulled Niu Youdao aside and said nothing more than farewell words, saying that the distance was now close and it would be convenient to come and go in the future.
After being polite, Niu Youdao smiled and asked: "If there is no good feast, there will be no good party. Brother, they jointly set up a trap to trap us in. I don't believe that as the elder of Tianyumen, you didn't know anything beforehand." Qing, why don't you let some news out?"
Feng Entai sighed and said: "Third brother, don't blame me. I also have my own difficulties. Between us, public is public and private is private. We can't abolish public service because of private interests."
Niu Youdao nodded: "Okay, I remember what brother said. Public is public, private is private. If I have the chance, I will return this sentence to brother. I hope he won't blame me when the time comes."
Feng Entai smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving his hand. He didn't want to talk about it anymore. There were some things that he, as a disciple of the Tianyu Sect, couldn't turn his elbows away. It would be useless to talk about it.
After a while, Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan also came back, and Feng Lingbo and Peng Yulan personally sent them out.
In front of everyone, Peng Yulan told her daughter to abide by women's ethics and take good care of her husband.
Most of the bystanders heard something else. Was it because they knew that their conspiracy to seize power was unreasonable, so they said something nice and apologized to appease Shang Chaozong or something
In fact, Feng Lingbo and his wife also knew that they were jointly suppressing and bullying Shang Chaozong, but their daughter was married to Shang Chaozong. If Shang Chaozong really wanted to take it out on their daughter, her daughter's life would be difficult. But there are some things that you can't control so much. There is always a choice to be made. After all, the daughter is married, but the future of the two sons is up for grabs.
The only thing that can comfort me is that I can take care of my daughter when my family is better.
Feng Ruonan felt very bitter in her heart. She felt so embarrassed when her mother-in-law's family did this. She really didn't know how to face Shang Chaozong in the future. If Shang Chaozong had several concubines, what could she say
Feng Lingbo stood in front of Niu Youdao and said with a smile: "Niu Youdao, long time no see. Sure enough, he is older and a little less green than before."
Niu Youdao smiled and replied: "It's been a long time since I last saw him. Governor Feng's complexion is much better than when we met him. He is really in high spirits on happy occasions. Speaking of which, I am really the lucky star of Governor Feng."
Feng Lingbo snorted and asked, "How?"
Niu Youdao: "Just imagine, Governor Feng, the first time I met the Governor, the Governor married his daughter, which was a great joy. This time I met the Governor, and I witnessed that the Governor holds the power of commanding the troops and horses of the five counties. This is another joy. Like this After thinking about it, am I not the lucky star of Governor Feng? It seems that Governor Feng would like to see me more often."
Feng Lingbo smiled, but he sighed in his heart. He was overjoyed when he married his daughter, but when he turned around he realized that he had been tricked. How dare he mention that
At first, he always thought that it was Lan Ruoting who had planned and planned the good deeds. It was not until he heard about Niu Youdao's deeds that he realized that he had been deceived by Niu Youdao. Who was Lan Ruoting? It was clearly this guy who did it. Good thing.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, with meaningful expressions in their eyes.
A group of people from Qingshan County just walked down the mountain and left. Feng Entai also gave them face and sent the group down the mountain.
The other three county guards did not leave so quickly, and stayed at Tianyumen for a while before leaving.
When a few people left, it was already evening. Feng Lingbo and his wife had no intention of leaving yet and wanted to stay for a few days.
Some things have to wait until Tianyumen makes final coordination, and what has been discussed needs to be implemented with a plan.
The sky was full of setting clouds, and the mountains and rivers were of the same color. Feng Lingbo and his wife, accompanied by Peng Youzai, walked to the top of the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Looking at the red sun that was half setting in the horizon, Peng said again: "I'm afraid your son-in-law has a problem with you and your wife."
Peng Yulan said: "Even if my father completely removes him from office, he can only admit it."
"Recognize it?" Peng tilted his head and glanced at her again, and then looked at Feng Lingbo, "Shang Chaozong has 200,000 horses, and you are asked to attack them immediately. Can you control them?"
"This..." Feng Lingbo hesitated a little, and finally replied: "If the Shang Dynasty Sect can cooperate, it will naturally be able to control it. If it is unwilling to cooperate... After the Shang Dynasty Sect established its foothold in the two counties, some of Ning Wang Shang Jianbo's old friends were lost or hiding. The troops, headed by Meng Shanming, all showed up one after another to join the Shang Chaozong. These people are all experts in commanding and running the army. They are loyal to Shang Jianbo. Now they are naturally loyal to the Shang Chaozong. The rest of these 200,000 troops may not be so. Easy to control.”
Peng Zaizai looked at his daughter again, his eyes seeming to say, did you hear it? He sneered and said: "Two hundred thousand people are not just a bowl of rice. Do you think anyone can eat it if they want to? A bad appetite will kill you! If you are forced to jump over the wall, Shang Chaozong can cause chaos in the five counties with just one sentence. Behind his back And that Niu Youdao, that guy is not a good person either."
Peng Yulan: "Father, according to what you say, even if Nanzhou is captured, he has 200,000 troops in his hands, and it will still be difficult for us."
Peng Youzai said: "Now that the territory cannot be expanded, it is indeed difficult to use the military power in his hands. Furthermore, in order to ensure the success of the attack, he has to rely on the men and horses in his hands, especially the Yingyang Wulie Guards, so he cannot force it to pass. What, you have to hold him steady. When the war begins, Ling Bo will have the power to direct the troops and horses. He will leave all the hard battles to his men, which will consume part of his strength. When the war is over, he has already taken advantage of the situation. During the war, he dispatched his men and horses around. Lingbo can mobilize his men and horses to cut and control his men and horses. As long as his men and horses are cut up and controlled so that they can no longer gather to make trouble, his military power can be relieved."
Peng Yulan suddenly realized.
Peng turned around again, "So you and your wife must try your best to comfort him now, stabilize him, reassure him, don't anger him, keep your posture low, everything must wait until Nanzhou is captured, do you understand?"
"Yes!" The couple nodded in agreement. Feng Lingbo then asked, "Father also said that Niu Youdao was not a good person. What should we do with Niu Youdao afterwards?"
Peng Zaizai said coldly: "You don't need to worry about this, just do your own thing."
For Tianyumen, as long as the Shang Dynasty Sect is captured after the war, as long as the overall situation is decided, and as long as Niu Youdao has no influence on the overall situation of Nanzhou, Niu Youdao's matter will be easy to handle.
When the couple left, Feng Entai and Chen Tingxiu arrived and passed by the couple.
Walking to Peng You's side, Feng Entai looked back at the couple who were going down the mountain, and sighed, "Brother, if you are unhappy, to be fair, Feng Lingbo may not be as good as Shang Chaozong in terms of ability. Over there." The implication seems to be asking, are we really going to hand over Nanzhou to Feng Lingbo to take charge
Chen Tingxiu snorted, "Junior Brother Feng, after conquering Nanzhou, what we need is a person who can maintain his integrity, not someone who is ambitious and militaristic like Shang Chaozong. You should understand the reason!"
…
Wuli 527, the end of the year.
In Qingshan County, every household began to clean up and prepare to remove the old and welcome the new.
It is another good year at the end of the year. Under the governance of Prince Yongping, the people are well fed, clothed and healthy, giving the entire county a festive atmosphere at the end of the year.
The adults are busy, the children are playing and chasing each other in the streets, and there is an endless stream of traffickers and thugs.
In the attic of the county magistrate's house, the large Feng Ruonan, dressed in daughter's makeup, leaned on the railing and looked out alone. Listening to the noise outside the house, people kept shouting thanks to Shang Chaozong.
As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the two counties have carried out a comprehensive sorting and reporting, and distributed some food to all the registered people who are in particularly difficult circumstances, so that at least the people can have a meal during the New Year, not only to eat well, but at least to have a full meal.
The food distribution point in Qingshan County's county town is right outside the county magistrate's mansion.
The thanks from outside could not resolve the sadness between Feng Ruonan's brows. There was one thing that she never expected. Her parents' family actually found a pair of beautiful maids to give to the Shang Dynasty clan...
In the courtyard, Shang Chaozong personally pushed the wheelchair and pushed Meng Shanming around in the wheelchair. Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting, who were returning home for the New Year, accompanied him.
After hearing the noise outside, Meng Shanming asked, "Your Majesty, is there no movement at Niu Youdao yet?"
Shang Chaozong shook his head: "I have never left, and I have never had any contact with anyone outside. I can't see that Qing'er has any preparations over there. He still said the same thing, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, let us Follow Tianyumen’s wishes.”
Meng Shanming sighed: "This Taoist master is really calm and can't hold his breath. I hope he can really be calm and hold his breath."
This sounded a bit contradictory, but Shang Shuqing knew what it meant and said: "Uncle Meng, don't worry. Since Master Dao said he would help, he shouldn't just sit idly by and ignore it. I don't think he has done anything. It shows that he is confident, but if there is too much movement, I will be on tenterhooks."
Meng Shanming: "Princess, it's not that you don't trust him, but you are putting the future of two hundred thousand brothers on your trust in him. This is tantamount to gambling! Is this appropriate for a general? Logically speaking, we We should have made other preparations earlier, but he didn't let us act rashly."
Shang Shuqing was silent...
In the courtyard of the thatched cottage, Niu Youdao used a showerhead to water a black peony in a pot. The dust on the leaves made him frown, and he looked back at the gray sky in the distance.
"Why are you frowning?" Guan Fangyi walked over.
Niu Youdao: "The gray is a lot bigger."
Guan Fangyi: "The craftsmen's camp over there is burning fires day and night to make weapons."
After pouring the water and putting down the shower head, Niu Youdao walked out of the villa. He stood outside the villa and looked in the direction of the rising smoke. He muttered to himself: "After enduring it for several years, I can't bear it anymore. It seems that a storm is coming." !”
