<go--> After she left, Feng Lingbo, who was wandering and thinking in the room for a while, turned around and said hello, "Here comes someone!"
A servant came in. He pointed to the secret letter on the desk and said, "Send it to Niu Youdao!"
"Yes!" The servant took the secret letter and left.
Niu Youdao temporarily settled in the guest courtyard of the prefect's mansion, and was guarded by someone.
Under the lamp, Niu Youdao took the secret letter and read it several times, Wang Heng? He didn't know who Wang Heng was, he didn't know him or heard of him, but judging from the content, he was escorted to the capital. He had offended no one other than the Song family in the capital, so it was not difficult to guess who wanted to harm him.
This was nothing. He had already expected revenge from the Song family. It was not surprising. What made him interesting was that Feng Lingbo showed this secret letter to him. It had many meanings, and naturally it meant to scare him. .
"I guess the Song family already knows. It seems that Tang Susu didn't fool the Song family. Mrs. Tang is afraid that she shot herself in the foot!" Niu Youdao handed the secret letter to Yuan Gang who was standing aside.
After reading it repeatedly, Yuan Gang asked: "Who is Wang Heng?"
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly: "I don't know, it must be related to the Song family. The status of someone who can communicate with Feng Lingbo in such a tone is probably not low. You should be able to find out who he is by just asking."
Yuan Gang was silent for a while, and then suddenly tried to ask, "If the Song family takes revenge on the Shangqing Sect, will that Tang Yi be implicated?"
Niu Youdao's eyelids drooped slightly, "Is this important?"
Yuan Gang fell silent and stopped talking. He handed the paper in his hand to the candle and burned it...
The night in the mountains is extremely desolate. White flags on bamboo poles are gently fluttering in the wind. There are bonfires beside new graves. Shang Shuqing is sitting on the ground playing the piano. The sound of the piano is quiet and sad.
This man has passed away, and he is remembered with the sound of the piano.
Shang Chaozong stood beside him with his hands clasped, looking at the shadows under the moonlight. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He thought back to those days, when his family was so beautiful and beautiful. In a blink of an eye, he was in such a state of desolation. He was like a bereaved dog and was in panic all day long. Those years in the dark sky prison are unforgettable. , sometimes even like a nightmare.
All the sudden changes and misfortunes have been faced head-on. He doesn't resent anyone. If he wants to complain, he only blames himself for his incompetence. What's more, he is confused and confused about the uncertain future.
The little sister playing the piano in front of me is extremely intelligent, gentle, virtuous, well-educated, proficient in chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, but she is forced by life to become strong and brave. She was originally a lady from a famous family, always holding books and calligraphy in her hands, but now she has a sword hanging on her waist, wandering on horseback with a group of men, not afraid of hardships, not even a word of complaint, but always comforting and encouraging her brother. Regardless of the bad spots on her face, no matter from every point of view, my sister should have been a good woman that men in this world are hard to find. However, because of her incompetence as an elder brother, she was unable to shoulder the heavy burden and missed this life. She is unworthy of her parents' souls in heaven. .
Then look at the personal guards who appeared for him in the woods around him, both covertly and covertly. They were all veterans on the battlefield. Even if they couldn't see the future and the bright future, they still abandoned their families and followed him, following him to pursue the unknown future. He knew that he benefited from his father's legacy, but this made him more and more uneasy. He was afraid of letting these people down, and he didn't know where he could lead them. He could only keep telling himself, move forward, move forward!
But the future is slim. Pretending to follow Niu Youdao's wishes here does not make him feel at ease. In fact, it is Niu Youdao's specious behavior that makes him feel unsure.
The night is long, looking at the night sky, every night, I am looking forward to the arrival of dawn...
As the night passed, the morning light bloomed. In the simple hut next to the tomb, Shang Chaozong was taking a nap in his clothes. The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly woke him up. He subconsciously reached out to grab the knife beside him. When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was own people.
A guard handed over his hand and reported: "Your Majesty, there are several people outside the temple. They say they are people from the prefect's mansion in Guangxi County, and they say they are here from Master Tongrong."
Invited by Niu Youdao? Shang Chaozong was refreshed. Niu Youdao had previously asked this side to delay for a few days, but he didn't expect news to come out after just one day.
Huoran stood up, but one of his legs was numb from being crossed for too long, making him a little unsteady. He stamped his feet several times to clear his meridians, and then he strode out.
After a while, Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing led a group of people to the mountain quickly.
The reason why they all stayed next to the graves at the foot of the mountain was because if Zun Niu Youdao was pretending to mourn the souls of the dead, but if Zunniu Youdao was just treating a dead horse as a living horse.
Shounian led four people to wait outside the gate of Nanshan Temple. When he saw Shang Chaozong and others going up the mountain, he was still wondering, what is the point of living in the mountains and forests if there is no house to live in
Because Shang Shuqing was a woman, she often stayed in the boudoir in her early years and did not know her longevity. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, but they knew Shounian. When Prince Ning was still alive, he commanded the military forces of the Yan Kingdom. Guangyi County would also send people to give gifts every new year, on behalf of Feng Lingbo. The one who has done it most often is Shou Nian, the housekeeper of the Feng family, that is, the person in front of me.
The two of them were a little surprised that it was Feng Lingbo's housekeeper who came in person.
Seeing the people coming, Shounian smiled, held his sword in his hands and said: "I have met the prince and Mr. Lan. This must be the princess. I am polite."
Shang Shuqing put her hands together and returned the salute. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting clasped their fists in gesture. Lan Ruoting put down his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Shou, I haven't seen you for many years, but your style remains the same."
With his life in arrears, he smiled gently and said, "Mr. Lan, thank you for the award."
Lan Ruoting: "Brother Shou was invited by Niu Youdao?"
Shounian nodded: "I was ordered to come to protect the prince..." He was a little confused when he said this, "Isn't Niu Youdao sent by the prince to meet the prefect?"
"Uh... Exactly. I wonder where Niu Youdao is now?" Lan Ruoting smiled and nodded, a bit vague. It was really that Niu Youdao's behavior made people very helpless, and he didn't explain anything clearly. We don't know what Niu Youdao talked to Feng Lingbo, how they talked about it, and what the outcome was. They were afraid of saying the wrong thing and doing something bad.
It is really hard to believe that Feng Lingbo can lend troops to Shang Chaozong, but looking at Shounian's attitude, it seems that it is really possible. Is it possible? Does Feng Lingbo really dare to intervene in this matter? The damn thing is that Niu Youdao didn't come back, and he didn't even send anyone who knew what to say, so it was hard for them to ask questions.
"Niu Youdao is temporarily waiting for the prince in the prefect's mansion. Your prince, there may be dangers in this barren mountain and wild land, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Please follow me back to the county town first. The support personnel sent by the prefect are already on the way. May we meet." Shounian made a gesture of reaching out to invite him.
It's very difficult here. I don't know whether to leave or not. Lan Ruoting thought for a moment and was about to talk. Suddenly someone ran up from the bottom of the mountain. It was the personal guard Niu Youdao sent back to deliver the message. Lan Ruoting and others His spirits perked up at the sight.
Here, Shounian was asked to wait, and the bodyguard who had returned from the journey was pulled aside. Lan Ruoting couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any news about the Master's return?"
The personal guard nodded repeatedly and said: "The master said that great things can be expected, and he is very sure of it. He asked the prince to go back with the people from Guangyi County. It is not convenient for him to come over for the time being. He will wait for the prince in the county town!"
A sure thing? The three of them were excited when they heard this. Did they really borrow troops? It’s really unbelievable, my God, I really don’t know how Niu Youdao did it!
Shang Shuqing's bright eyes were shining brightly under her veil. Shang Chaozong fisted his hands in excitement, as if he saw a ray of light in the dark.
Lan Ruoting asked with excitement and concern: "How are you, Master? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
The soldier said: "The master is well and the marriage proposal went well!"
"Uh..." Lan Ruoting was stunned and blinked, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Asking for marriage?" Shang Chaozong was confused, "What kind of marriage are you seeking?"
Shang Shuqing's expression under the veil was also astonished. Is she asking for marriage
"Isn't the prince going to marry the daughter of the governor of Guangxi County?" the guard asked confusedly. He thought that Niu Youdao's actions were arranged by the prince. Why doesn't it look like the reaction of the prince and others now
Shang Chaozong pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Is this king marrying Feng Lingbo's daughter?"
The guard nodded dumbly, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be asking, isn't it
Shang Chaozong asked again: "Dharma Master said this?"
Guard: "The master has already done this. The bride price has been given to the Feng family, and he announced in public that the prince is going to marry Feng Lingbo's daughter."
Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, why do they feel that this matter is a bit chaotic
Shang Chaozong confirmed again in disbelief: "Should I marry Feng Lingbo's daughter? Which daughter of Feng Lingbo should I marry?"
The guard realized that this was a big problem and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, does Feng Lingbo have a few more daughters? Of course... of course..." He remembered the situation when several people were guarding the bride price outside the prefect's mansion. , Feng Ruonan came angrily, and after several people saw Feng Ruonan's appearance with their own eyes, they seemed to sigh at the prince.
"Feng Ruonan? Shall I marry Feng Ruonan?" Shang Chaozong's eyes widened. How did borrowing troops turn into marrying Feng Ruonan? He said blankly: "How is this possible? When you said great things can be expected and are almost certain, do you mean this?"
"..." The guard was speechless and nodded slowly, indicating yes.
Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting were also a little confused. Marry Feng Ruonan? Why does this matter feel even more unreliable than borrowing troops from Feng Lingbo? How could Feng Lingbo marry his daughter, one of the generals of Guangxi County, to the Shang Chaozong
Lan Ruoting pointed at the guard and said, "What exactly happened? Please tell me the details of what happened immediately."
"After we arrived in Quang Guang County, we stopped at an inn. The Master immediately ordered us to find out where Feng Lingbo and Feng Ruonan were..." The guard detailed the situation of arriving in Quang Guang County, how we found out the news, and how Niu Youdao got there. After arriving at the military camp, they brought out a box of gold coins. How they purchased the betrothal gifts on a large scale and delivered them to the prefect's mansion. How Yuan Gang announced the good news in public. How did Yuan Gang and Niu Youdao face the outside world after entering the prefect's mansion. The one who delivers the message waits.
The three of them were completely speechless after hearing this. They were not going to borrow troops. Judging from the pace of their arrival in the county, it was clear that they were going directly to propose marriage.
"What nonsense!" Shang Chaozong was angry, his face turning red and white. <over-->
