Just as he was making a tangled decision, there was a knock on the door outside. Lan Ruoting went over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Bai Yao stood next to the guard and said calmly: "Mr. Lan, get ready to go." His eyes swept over Lan Ruoting's face and found that Lan Ruoting had not washed away the dust on his face.
"Okay!" Lan Ruoting responded with a smile.
Bai Yao took a step forward, glanced at Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing in the room, said nothing, then turned around and left. He more or less knew what the master was going to do to these people.
Lan Ruoting gave the guard a look, then returned to the room and closed the door again, met with the brother and sister for a brief discussion, then each casually wiped their faces with wet towels, and then walked out the door together.
The three of them had just walked out of the station house, and Peng was waiting for someone to come out.
Shang Chaozong stepped forward to greet him and stopped Peng Youzai.
Peng stopped again, and a group of people behind him also stopped. They all looked at Shang Chaozong who was blocking the way. Although the latter was a dignified and mediocre prince, there was aloof indifference hidden in the eyes of these people, and contempt hidden in their bones.
Peng was smiling again: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
Shang Chaozong didn't say anything. He shook out the cover letter and handed it to him.
Peng raised his eyebrows slightly on one side. He didn't know what was going on. He slowly reached out and took the letter into his hand. His eyes briefly examined the Shang Chaozong before landing on the letter. The content of the letter was very simple and clear at a glance.
After appreciating the information in the letter, especially when he saw the three words "Niu Youdao" signed on the letter, Peng's brows trembled violently again. The name appearing in this situation was very important to Peng Youzai and put pressure on him.
Niu Youdao, who suddenly disappeared, was still missing, but his name appeared on this piece of paper. This name touched his heartstrings that had been tense because of this person.
Peng Youzai had no expression on his face, raised his eyes, looked at Shang Chaozong, and asked: "What does the prince mean by showing this to me?"
Shang Chaozong: "I just saw it too." This is not a lie.
Peng Youzai took another look at the ink on it and saw that it was not new and asked, "Where did it come from?"
Shang Chaozong: "I don't know where it came from. When we entered the room, it was placed on the table in the room."
Peng quickly turned his head left and right and glanced around, but did not see any suspicious persons. He handed the letter to Chen Tingxiu who was standing aside for review, and gave Chen Tingxiu a wink.
Chen Tingxiu lowered his head to read the contents of the letter, and his brows jumped. Then he gave the letter to the other elders, turned around and walked away quickly.
Peng withdrew his eyes from Shang Chaozong again. Without saying much, he turned and returned to the post house, followed by a group of people.
For the head of Peng Da, there are only two possibilities. Either Shang Chaozong and others are deceiving, or it is true as Shang Chaozong said, and it is really the letter found after entering the house.
If it was the latter, if it was really a letter sent by Niu Youdao, then the problem would be huge.
With the Tianyu Gate being so heavily guarded, Niu Youdao was able to easily send the letter in under their noses, and he sent it into the room temporarily designated for the Shang Chaozong. What does this mean? The problem is serious!
Soon, the disciples of Tianyu Sect took action, and Shang Chaozong and others standing in the courtyard of the post station witnessed with their own eyes that all the officials in the post station were under control.
A group of petty officials were trembling and didn't know what was going on.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other. They knew very well that Tianyumen was afraid that they would check all the staff at the station.
This is also Lan Ruoting's plan just now, deliberately putting pressure on Tianyumen!
Lan Ruoting understood that if it were someone else, Tianyumen would not believe it. However, Tianyumen had experienced Niu Youdao's methods. He had experienced various turmoils in Qi State and was able to come back alive and get the war horses back in excess. Things are just examples...
In a room, Peng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, staring indifferently at the open window. No one knew what he was thinking.
Several elders circulated the letter in turn. Regardless of whether it was true or false, the content in the letter made them feel a little heavy. If Jinzhou really wanted to attack Nanzhou, Tianyumen would probably face annihilation.
If such a big thing happens and Nanzhou cannot be firmly seated and controlled, Tianyumen will have no value in the eyes of the three major sects. The Yan State court will definitely take the opportunity to force the three major sects to destroy Tianyumen. This consequence is something Tianyumen cannot bear!
"Junior Brother Feng, please read the letter again." Peng, who was standing with his back to the window, spoke slowly again.
The letter returned to Feng Entai's hand. Feng Entai choked for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Master, you don't doubt that this letter was created by me, right? Yes, Niu Youdao and I are sworn brothers." , but it’s not like the elbows are turned outward…”
"You're thinking too much." Peng turned around again and interrupted his defense. He raised his chin towards the letter in his hand, "I know who you are, and you won't betray the teacher. I will let you send this letter again." Look, it’s because you are familiar with Niu Youdao, and I want you to see if this is Niu Youdao’s handwriting.”
So that’s it! Feng Entai understood, and his worries were relieved. He held the letter again. After looking at it for a while, he hesitated and said: "I have seen Niu Youdao's handwriting. His handwriting has his own obvious style. It really looks like It’s Niu Youdao’s handwriting, but I can’t confirm whether it’s a forgery or not.”
He also knew that the matter was serious. If Niu Youdao could really ignore Tianyu Sect's defenses as if they were nothing, what would he do
Peng glanced at everyone again, "What do you think about this?"
Someone said: "Brother, head master, do you still take this matter seriously? How can Jinzhou attack Nanzhou? Wandong Tianfu is doing well while we are working hard and are mentally ill!"
Another person said: "Yes, we won Nanzhou and Jinzhou has a stronger ally, which is beneficial to Wandong Tianfu. I really can't think of any reason for Wandong Tianfu to harm their own interests and destroy this favorable situation." , this is completely impossible to happen.”
Everyone was talking and thought it was impossible. Only Feng Entai remained silent and looked at the letter in his hand from time to time.
He and Niu Youdao had worked together in the Qi State for so long, and he had personally experienced Niu Youdao's abilities. If this letter really came from Niu Youdao, the so-called impossibility made him feel a little unsure.
Peng glanced at the junior brother's reaction again. This was also his worry. Niu Youdao's absence beforehand was an ominous sign. He had been worried that Niu Youdao would take action. He didn't know when Niu Youdao would take action. The key is that the guy's ability cannot be underestimated.
In his early years, he never imagined that a little person who could be crushed to death at any time could now bring such great pressure to him, the head of the Tianyu Sect.
Someone said: "Don't be suspicious, everyone. If we really want to gather 300,000 troops to attack, there will be no movement in Jinzhou. Let the eyeliners in Jinzhou pay attention to know the truth. Everyone gathers here to send a letter There is absolutely no need to waste time discussing the truth and falsehoods in a letter that has no beginning or end."
"Yeah!" Many people nodded when they heard this.
Peng Zaizai: "Okay! Let's do it like this. Let the people in Jinzhou inquire about the situation immediately."
He raised his chin to an elder, who bowed his hand in agreement, and then said: "Don't rush back now, rest here for the time being, and then understand the situation. Also, inform Feng Lingbo and ask him not to go back first. If you act rashly, Meng Shanming will stay first."
Everyone was silent, understanding what he meant. If Jinzhou really took the wrong medicine, they would not be able to go back here. It would be impossible to rush back to Feng Lingbo immediately to sit down and help resist the attack of Wandong Tianfu. Feng Lingbo couldn't hold it up even if Feng Lingbo was left alone.
It is very simple to keep Meng Shanming still for the time being. If Jinzhou really wants to fight, Tianyumen will have to rely on the outstanding ability of the old commander to thwart Jinzhou's offensive and protect itself, otherwise it will be lost if it is defeated. In Nanzhou, it would be strange if the three major sects did not kill Tianyumen.
To take a step back, if there is really an external enemy, now is not the time to start internal strife. Hundreds of thousands of people internally are at odds with each other, and there will be a fight!
While Meng Shanming hasn't touched her yet, and she hasn't broken her face yet, stop quickly to avoid embarrassment when using someone else.
After the situation is determined, if nothing happens, it will not be too late to take action. There is no shortage of time...
"Your Majesty, the master gave the order not to rush on the road for the time being, but to rest here first." Bai Yao came out of the lobby of the inn and informed Shang Chaozong. As for the reason for the pause, Bai Yao did not elaborate.
Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing exchanged glances. They all knew in their hearts that the letter had played a role. The content in the letter was too alarmist and would put some pressure on the Tianyu Sect.
However, the three of them couldn't let go. They all knew that this was temporary, and they didn't know how Meng Shanming was doing now. They were worried about it, but they couldn't ask, they had to hold it in.
Now, under the tight control of Tianyu Sect, they are unable to do anything...
Feng Lingbo was sitting in the official room of the government office, holding a secret letter in his hand, frowning and speechless.
Peng Youzai and the others were sent away early in the morning, and a letter came in this afternoon, telling them not to touch Meng Shanming for the time being. What does it mean
However, the reason was not explained in the letter, which made him quite puzzled and a little worried.
He raised his head and looked at Peng Yulan, who was delivering the letter, and tried to ask: "Yulan, has father changed his intention and wants to support the Shang Chaozong?"
Peng Yulan: "How is this possible? Shang Chaozong is very ambitious. Doesn't supporting Shang Chaozong bring trouble to Tianyumen? It's not like you don't know the matter clearly."
Feng Lingbo dusted off the letter in his hand, "Then what does this sudden change of mind mean?"
Peng Yulan was also thinking about this, "How did I know?"
Feng Lingbo stood up, took her hand and squeezed it, "Yulan, please contact father privately to ask. If this matter is not clarified, I will not feel at ease."
Peng Yulan nodded.
At this moment, there was an unusual commotion outside.
Peng Yulan suddenly turned her head and glanced outside the door. She ducked out of the room like a flying swallow and landed in the courtyard. She looked in the direction where the fellow disciples on guard were looking up and saw a large bird hovering in the sky.
Feng Lingbo then walked out and looked up...
In the side yard, Luo An, who was pushing the wheelchair, stopped and raised his head. Meng Shanming, who was sitting in the wheelchair, also raised his head and stared at the birds hovering in the sky. Three people were faintly visible standing on the birds.
Looking around, there are disciples of Tianyu Sect appearing on the higher roofs, watching the sky above.
The large bird circled for a while, and finally swooped down somewhere in the city.
