Guan Fangyi was waiting outside the villa. After Huang Lie and Niu Youdao came out, she came out and kept watching outside the villa.
When Niu Youdao came over, she said with a suspicious look on her face: "What are you doing?"
Niu Youdao said cheerfully: "You didn't do anything!"
Guan Fangyi: "Was Huang Lie bowing to Black Peony just now?"
"It's important to die, I'm just being polite." Niu Youdao walked past her with a smile.
Not long after the two returned to the villa, another guest came, including Niu Youdao and other guests.
Situ Yao, the head of Wandong Tianfu in Jinzhou, led his people and rushed here. As soon as he heard the news of Nanzhou's expedition, he rushed over overnight without stopping.
The tea sets in the waterside pavilion were removed and replaced with a set to entertain guests.
Situ Yao also had no intention of drinking tea. He sat down and asked, "Brother, Nanzhou really wants to send troops to quell the Cangzhou rebellion?"
Niu Youdao, who was serving the tea, took a sip first, then nodded and put down the tea cup, "That's true."
Situ Yao looked tense, "South Korea is in confrontation with the Yan army and has no intention of restraining Zhao. Now the Nanzhou army has to leave Nanzhou to suppress the rebellion. I am alone in Jinzhou. Hai Wuji hasn't swallowed the last breath, how can I do it?" Let me go to Jinzhou? I'm afraid the three major factions of the Zhao Kingdom can't stop Hai Wuji! You and I are forming an alliance. It's such a big deal. Shouldn't you talk to me beforehand?"
When I learned that Nanzhou had intercepted Yan Ting's military rations, I thought Niu Youdao had other plans, but in the blink of an eye, he and Yan Ting were wearing a pair of trousers. Not only Wandong Tianfu, but also countless people were caught off guard by this turn of events. , please note that Shang Jianxiong wants to kill the cow in a right way!
Niu Youdao shook his head: "Master Situ, please don't tell me before. I even hid the truth from the Shang Chaozong. The matters involved are not trivial. I cannot reveal the truth to the outside world. I had to do it as a last resort."
Situ Yao: "You have no choice? If you have no choice, our Jinzhou will face disaster. Is this what our allies did?"
Niu Youdao waved his hand and asked him to calm down and ask for tea, "If the Yan Kingdom is over and Han and Song are busy carving up the Yan Kingdom, even if I don't send troops to Nanzhou, do you think the Zhao Kingdom can let Jinzhou go?"
Just as Situ Yao was about to open his mouth, Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop him and continued: "I know what Master Situ wants to say. He wants to say that Nanzhou can still join forces with Jinzhou to fight against Zhao. What will happen to Yan? Yan is finished, Nanzhou The troops are running to join forces with you to fight against Zhao. Do you think the troops of Han and Song Dynasty can leave Nanzhou alone? When the time comes, I will go to Nanzhou and stay in Jinzhou to continue to fight against Zhao. We are attacked from both sides, how long can you and I hold on?"
Situ Yao: "I know the situation is difficult..."
Niu Youdao raised his hand again to stop, "It is indeed difficult, and it is a dilemma. At this time, you will not disregard the interests of Jinzhou for me, and I will not disregard the interests of Nanzhou for you. You will not let me send troops, is it possible? ?”
Situ Yao was sullen and said in a deep voice: "According to your statement, when a disaster strikes, we will separate, and the alliance between us will be broken up like this?"
"No!" Niu Youdao waved his hand, "I have discussed this matter with Meng Shanming. Regardless of whether Nanzhou can successfully send troops to suppress the rebellion, Jinzhou will be doomed this time! The only hope is to successfully suppress the rebellion. Only by successfully quelling the Cangzhou rebellion, stabilizing the situation in Yan, and making South Korea give up attacking Yan, and turn its attention to the civil strife of Zhao, will the two sides join forces to force Zhao Let the country go!"
Situ Yao knew that what he said was reasonable, but after all, it was Jinzhou that was facing this disaster. The efforts of many generations of people in Wandong Tianfu could not help but said with a little sadness and anger: "Then when should we wait? How long should it take for the rebellion of Yan State to be put down? ? When can Jinzhou wait for reinforcements from Nanzhou? The Zhao court is attacking with all its strength, and I, Jinzhou, cannot stop it for too long!"
Niu Youdao: "Jinzhou must try its best to stop it as long as it can! Not all the troops in Nanzhou will go out to fight, and a considerable number of troops will still be left. If Jinzhou really can't stop it, it will give up the resistance. , the troops will withdraw into Nanzhou and stick to Nanzhou with the rest of our Nanzhou troops. We can delay it for a little longer. If Zhao’s troops dare to invade Nanzhou and cannot be stopped, they will continue to withdraw and follow our Nanzhou troops left behind. Let's withdraw into Dingzhou together... Head Situ, in the current situation, I am benevolent and righteous by making this arrangement!"
Situ Yao fell silent, and the senior officials of Wandong Tianfu beside him all looked gloomy.
Everyone knows that Niu Youdao is right. This time is no longer a personal matter, and it is not a time to be emotional. Jinzhou will not die for Nanzhou, and Nanzhou will not die for Jinzhou. Niu Youdao can Such assistance is truly the most benevolent and righteous act.
The reason is very simple. Maybe the Zhao State will not invade Nanzhou, but once Nanzhou lets the Jinzhou people come in to take them in, it is very likely that the Zhao State will invade Nanzhou, which puts Nanzhou in a huge danger!
They have reached this point and have taken risks to leave a way out for Jinzhou. This is indeed benevolent and righteous. What else can be said
I'm afraid I might not have taken this risk for Wandong Tianfu in Dachan Mountain. It's not necessarily, but definitely. Thanks to Niu Youdao, I can be the master of Nanzhou!
…
In the back garden of Nanzhou Governor's Mansion, Shang Shuqing was stunned when she passed by the door of a courtyard in the inner house and looked at Feng Ruonan, who was sitting alone on a chair under the eaves inside.
The frail and thin Feng Ruonan looked confused and confused every day.
Shang Shuqing was a little surprised, walked in, and walked straight under the eaves.
"Princess, the princess is here." The maid inside reminded Feng Ruonan before he came back to his senses.
Feng Ruonan stood up and walked towards the steps to greet her with a forced smile, "Qing'er is here."
"Sister-in-law." After Shang Shuqing climbed up the steps to greet her, he looked her up and down and asked a little strangely: "The army is ready and about to set off. Why hasn't sister-in-law changed her clothes yet?"
Feng Ruonan was stunned by these words. What does it have to do with my changing clothes when the army goes out? She couldn't help but ask: "Qing'er, do you want me to see you off? The prince hasn't spoken, so I can't go out at will."
This was said so naturally, unlike the high-spirited and thorny female general back then.
After going through some turmoil, the old edges and corners have been worn away, and I have resigned myself to my fate, just like a rotten tree.
In general, she is much better now than before. Ever since the two beautiful concubines of Shang Chaozong were tortured away by Niu Youdao, no one here dares to be rude to her anymore, not because of her face, but because of her It depends on Niu Youdao's face.
With Niu Youdao as his backer, even the prince did not dare to offend him. Even the prince obediently disposed of the two beautiful concubines. Naturally, the servants were all honest.
But this does not mean that Shang Chaozong can like her. First of all, her beauty is indeed not very good. Secondly, some things have reached the point of killing people with swords. The Feng family killed Shang Chaozong's brothers, and Shang Chaozong killed Feng. Ruonan's brother, the gap between the two can never be repaired.
Shang Shuqing's nose ached after hearing these words. She finally understood why Master Dao wanted his sister-in-law to take the risk and go on an expedition. A thought even flashed through her mind. Did Master Dao know everything about the situation in the Governor's Mansion? Distracted thoughts flashed through his mind, and he stepped forward and held Feng Ruonan's hands, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to take you on an expedition this time, don't you know?"
"Take me on an expedition?" Feng Ruonan shook his head in confusion.
Shang Shuqing asked again: "Didn't I tell you?"
Feng Ruonan shook her head with a forced expression. She didn't even know what was going on. She had been separated from Shang Chaozong for a long time. She rarely saw them, let alone talked about them.
Shang Shuqing couldn't help but secretly blame herself. When she came back, she came specifically to visit her sister-in-law. However, she didn't know what to say before Meng Shanming spoke and before her brother agreed. If her brother didn't agree, it would cause conflicts between the couple. .
Later later, she saw Meng Shanming speak with her own eyes, and saw her brother agree. She thought they would know about it, but unexpectedly they didn't know about it yet.
"Sister-in-law, Uncle Meng asked me to take you on an expedition, and I have already agreed. This is Master Tao's wish. When we left thatched cottage, Master Tao specifically mentioned this to Uncle Meng..." Shang Shuqing said. Niu Youdao made it clear what he had specifically told him to do.
As Feng Ruonan listened, tears streamed down her face, until she was trembling and choking.
Unexpectedly, she really didn't expect that Niu Youdao would still be thinking about her and her situation at this time. This time he clearly spoke for her!
She originally thought that even her biological parents were unreliable, but unexpectedly, it turned out that there were still people in this world who took her seriously and cared about her.
"You cheated me of 10,000 gold coins..." Feng Ruonan choked and muttered, and suddenly she couldn't hold back her tears. She squatted on the ground, crying whether she was happy or uncomfortable.
In her mind was the scene of someone shamelessly cheating her out of money. No matter whether she had a good day or not, she could not escape from that person.
Niu Youdao's intervention back then truly completely changed her life's destiny.
No matter what Niu Youdao did to make up for it before, she still hated Niu Youdao a little in her heart, but after this moment, she really didn't hate him anymore and couldn't hate him anymore.
No matter how the Shang Dynasty treats her in the future, or what her fate is, after today, she will never hate Niu Youdao again, even if there are 10,000 reasons to hate!
She knew very well that today's Niu Youdao was neither a person who lacked that ten thousand gold coins nor a person who could not afford to pay back that ten thousand gold coins!
Shang Shuqing also cried and squatted down to comfort her.
The familiar sound of wheels came from outside the yard.
Shang Shuqing wiped away her tears and looked over, only to see Shang Chaozong pushing Meng Shanming in the wheelchair. Shang Chaozong was wearing a battle armor!
Shang Shuqing quickly reminded Feng Ruonan, and Feng Ruonan quickly stood up and wiped her tears, but she couldn't control her emotions at all, and the tears kept flowing out.
Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming looked at Feng Ruonan's clothes and seemed to have made no preparations.
Both of them couldn't help but look at Shang Shuqing. Shang Shuqing was present when the matter was decided here. They both thought that Shang Shuqing would come and tell Feng Ruonan. Looking at the situation, it seemed that they had just found out.
There is no need to pursue this now. Meng Shanming sighed softly: "Princess, the army is about to go out. It is unlucky to cry at this time. For the sake of the entire army, please bear with it!"
The method of persuasion was a bit harsh, but it was very effective.
"Yes!" Feng Ruonan nodded repeatedly, wiped his tears repeatedly, and held back his tears.
Shang Chaozong stopped talking for a while. The two didn't talk to each other for a long time, and they didn't know how to talk to her. Finally, they asked abruptly: "Are you still able to mount the horse or carry the gun?"
"Yes!" Feng Ruonan nodded vigorously again, tears came out unsatisfactoryly, and he wiped them away vigorously.
Shang Chaozong: "The time has been set. The army will set off on time in half an hour. Is half an hour enough to change clothes?"
"Yeah!" Feng Ruonan still nodded.
Shang Chaozong: "We are waiting for you."
Shang Shuqing immediately took Feng Ruonan back to the house.
ps: She is as beautiful as Song Yu, and more beautiful than Pan An. Thank you for the big red flowers presented by "Bitter Programmer" and "I Love Holy Mother Bitch", which is the icing on the cake!
