Chapter 232
For the time being, you can't force people to get things out that don't have them, so let's just get through it for the time being.
As soon as he grabbed the knife in his hand, he was about to cut the meat, when a slender figure appeared at the door, who else could it be besides the county lord Shang Shuqing.
I don't see the monkey figure, but this woman is here, which is a bit interesting! Niu Youdao squinted and smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and put down the knife in his hand.
Shang Shuqing walked to the side of the small table and knelt opposite Niu Youdao, "It's a sin to disturb the Taoist master's meal!" ”
Dao Ye? Niu Youdao showed a smile instead of a smile, and the other party actually changed his mouth to 'Dao Ye', which is exclusive to monkeys in this world, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, and I don't have much appetite." ”
Shang Shuqing: "But the craftsmanship of the people below is not in line with the appetite of the Taoist master?" ”
Is that also worthy of craftsmanship? Niu Youdao was slandered, too lazy to hit the other party, and shook his head, "It's today's incident that has affected my appetite, I'm afraid that the prince and the county lord will blame you!" ”
Shang Shuqing was silent, and said slowly: "The deceased has passed away, but I want the living to live better, to give an explanation to the dead, better than anything else, everyone should look forward, there is no need to indulge in the past and can't extricate themselves." ”
Both of them were vague, and they didn't break the matter.
Niu Youdao said with a smile: "How could the county lord Yaxing come to chat with Niu?" ”
Shang Shuqing went straight to the point and said, "Is Dao Ye going to leave?" ”
Niu has a saying, "I have this idea." ”
Shang Shuqing straightened her chest and said dignifiedly: "Qing'er is here to hope that Dao Ye can stay and help my brother and sister!" ”
Niu Youdao smiled, "I'm just a little cultivator in the Qi refining realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, so I'd better find another master." ”
Shang Shuqing: "Don't hide it from the Daoist, it's not rude to the Daoist, my brother and sister are so downtrodden, the future is unpredictable, there are many crises, no one wants to get involved with us, everyone avoids us like a snake and scorpion, and our brothers and sisters are no longer qualified to pick and choose, but whoever has the ability, our brothers and sisters must try their best to fight for it, accumulate a lot, gather sand into a tower, I believe that there will be a vast and surging day, not to mention that Dao Ye is a disciple of Mr. Dongguo!" ”
Niu Youdao said: "I don't know the relationship between my master and you, that relationship can't bind me, it doesn't make any sense to talk about my master, or it's better to talk about things, why should I stay and work for you?" ”
Shang Shuqing: "Dao Ye helps us, and we will do our best to provide Dao Ye with cultivation resources!" ”
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "You can't protect yourself, do you have cultivation resources to provide me?" ”
Shang Shuqing: "So I am willing to work together with Daoye, instead of letting Daoye serve us!" If you don't say that Dao Ye has offended the Song family, just because Dao Ye is a disciple of Shangqing Sect, I am afraid that it will be difficult for monks in the world to tolerate Dao Ye, and it will be difficult for Dao Ye to obtain cultivation resources. Although our brothers and sisters don't have any cultivation resources to provide to Dao Ye now, as long as we have an inch of income, it is all Dao Ye's, Dao Ye helps us, and we do our best to earn cultivation resources for Dao Ye! ”
Niu Youdao played with the knife on the table, and after listening, he seemed to be a little impatient and said: "Okay, there's no point in being verbose, so it's decided!" ”
"Huh?" Shang Shuqing was a little puzzled, and wondered: "What does Dao Ye mean?" ”
Niu Youdao said casually: "I promise to stay!" ”
"Uh..."Shang Shuqing was stunned, full of disbelief, so easy to persuade? She made preparations for tackling tough problems and brewed a large set of rhetoric, but it didn't work out yet, so that's it? Surprised: "Is this true? ”
Niu Youdao raised his eyes to look at the other party and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Niu is a person who goes back on his word in the eyes of the county lord?" ”
Shang Shuqing was overjoyed when she heard this, quickly stood up, straightened her clothes, bowed a long bow, and then straightened up again and said excitedly: "Dao Ye wait, I will invite my brother to come over and thank you!" ”
"Thank you for it, you can't come up with anything to thank you, there's no need for something empty, let's listen to me first." With his thumb fiddling with the blade in his hand, Niu Youdao stared at the other party coldly, and said: "It's okay to stay, but I have conditions, don't let the monkey charge, don't use the monkey as a gun, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" The knife in his hand shook off his hand and inserted it into the meat on the plate.
Shang Shuqing was stunned and fell into a dilemma, didn't his brother want to keep Yuan Gang because he felt that Yuan Gang had the ability to do that? If Yuan Gang is not allowed to charge, then what are you going to do? If it is only for personal force, then Niu Youdao is indeed more suitable than Yuan Gang.
After hesitating again and again, it is not difficult to make a decision in this matter, if you don't agree, the other party will leave, you won't get anything, and if you agree, at least two people will be left. In line with the fact that it has reached such a point, something is better than nothing, Shang Shuqing finally nodded and said: "Okay, I promise Dao Ye, my brother can guarantee it on his behalf!" ”
Niu Youdao bowed, "Then a word is a certainty!" ”
After the two exchanged politeness, Shang Shuqing said goodbye, and came in good spirits when he came, but when he went, he was a little unhappy, and he stayed, but it did not achieve the expected effect.
Not long after Shang Shuqing left, another person appeared outside the door, and Yuan Gang walked in silently.
Niu Youdao meditated cross-legged, looking at the food on the plate in front of him motionless, Yuan Gang sat cross-legged opposite him and said, "I just saw the county lord going out from here, what's the matter?" ”
Niu Youdao said calmly: "What else can I do?" With her ugly appearance, she is unappetizing when she sees it, can I still fall in love with her? She wants us to stay and help their brother and sister... I promised! ”
Yuan Gang lowered his head slightly and said, "Blame me for this..."
Before he finished speaking, Niu Youdao interrupted: "It has nothing to do with you, I can't refuse the conditions she proposed, she promised that if it can be done in the future, the two brothers and sisters will do their best to provide me with cultivation resources." ”
Yuan Gang lowered his head and said silently: "Master Dao, I did something wrong today, I said something I shouldn't have said, I'm sorry!" He knew in his heart that there were some things that he couldn't hide from Daoye, they both knew each other too well, and Daoye stayed because of him.
Niu Youdao said casually and slowly: "I'm sorry for saying that it's a bit too much, two lives as a person, a brother in one life, you have something to do, I'll carry it!" ”
Yuan Gang was silent, his cheeks tightened.
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said angrily: "Look at it, look at it, it's such a big lump again, everyone is Sven, can you still make people a little eaten?" This way of eating rice buckets every day, I get on fire when I see it, and when I turn around and settle down, you have to think of a way. ”
Yuan Gang didn't say anything, reached out and pulled out the knife on the big lump of meat, and began to slice the meat piece by piece, the knife technique was skillful, and the meat slices were thin and even.
Niu Youdao then took his own chopsticks, picked up the meat slices and put them in his mouth and chewed slowly.
After cutting all the lumps of meat, Yuan Gang grabbed them directly with his hands, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them slowly.
The two of them didn't speak, and sat opposite each other and slowly finished eating a plate of meat.
When Yuan Gang cleaned up the scene, Niu Youdao stretched his waist, grabbed the sword on the side as a cane, and stood up with a pestle, "Let's go, I'm full!" ”
Outside, the courtyard was dark, and the lanterns under the eaves were shining, some were on, some were not.
Walking around, I walked to the courtyard where Shang Chaozong stayed, and someone went in to report that Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing all came out.
"Dao Ye!" When they met and said hello, they all changed their names, but this title felt a little strange when it came out of the mouth of the older Lan Ruoting.
Niu Youdao was a little stunned, and glanced at Shang Shuqing, it was obvious that this woman's guarantee was valid, and she agreed here.
Even so, he won't go around the corner, "I have been under house arrest in Shangqing Sect, I don't know the situation outside, your background, presumably the map is always available, I want a map, and I also have a grasp of the surrounding situation and situation, especially in the fiefdom of Cangwu County!" "Before, he didn't want to go to Cangwu County, the fiefdom of Shang Chaozong, so he didn't feel at ease, but this time it was different, and he began to pay attention.
Yuan Gang, who was beside him, was in high spirits, and as soon as Niu Youdao opened his mouth, this style made him see the shadow of the Dao Ye who had once dominated the rivers and lakes, and realized that the Dao Ye was going to move seriously this time, and he really wanted to officially intervene in the affairs of this group of people.
Several people looked at each other, and in their impression, the Suihu monk was usually to protect the safety of the target, or to do something that ordinary martial artists couldn't do, and it seemed a little wrong to listen to the tone of the map.
However, Shang Chaozong still bowed his head and said: "Yes, wait in the Dao Master!" "Reach out and invite in.
A group of people entered, and soon someone took a few maps, ranging from a detailed map of Cangwu County to a sketch map of Dayan Kingdom.
Here he was about to help him spread out the map, Niu Youdao raised his hand, "Don't worry, ask some information first, I hope the prince can tell you the truth." ”
Several people glanced at each other, and Shang Chaozong nodded, "Dao Ye, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Niu Youdao frowned and said, "Do you have to go to Cangwu County?" ”
A few people probably knew what he meant, and Lan Ruoting answered: "Dao Ye doesn't know, if you dare to deviate from the route, I'm afraid that it will immediately provoke the pursuit of the imperial court, with our strength we don't have the ability to resist at all, we can't afford this risk!" ”
Niu Youdao sighed, "Since the imperial court treats you like this, why should you be released from Beijing, is this Cangwu County a great place that can trap the prince like a cage and make the prince unable to get out?" ”
The real reason for this made the Shang Dynasty Sect a little difficult to say.
Niu Youdao glanced at the reactions of these people, and said indifferently: "Following you is playing with your life, my brothers and sisters have one life, I don't want to die in a daze, I want to listen to the truth!" If you want to say it, you will say it, if you don't want to say it, the two of us will leave immediately! ”
"Brother, Mr. Lan!" Shang Shuqing suddenly spoke up and nodded to the two.
So Shang Chaozong also nodded slowly, Lan Ruoting sighed, and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, the imperial court found an excuse to arrest the prince, obviously wanting to put the prince to death, I saw that this was wrong, so I let the news out...... "What I said is nothing more than the 100,000 crow generals."
After listening to the truth, Niu Youdao understood, the imperial court was going to cut the power of King Ning to the roots, and Shang Chaozong was bound to die, this Mr. Lan deliberately spread rumors in order to keep Shang Chaozong, seeing that Dayan was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, ups and downs, and knew that he could take advantage of the opportunity, so he added a fire, and alluded to the place where the 100,000 crow generals were hiding to Cangwu County, which made Shang Chaozong see the sun and rise out of the prison.
He also understood why several people were reluctant to tell the truth, in case he was a spy sent by the imperial court, once the truth was found out from their mouths, and the imperial court knew that the 100,000 crow generals were rumors, the consequences could be imagined, and it was understandable that it was a matter of life and death for so many people.
He couldn't help but glance at Shang Shuqing again, it was obviously the other party who was relieved just now at the woman's signal, and found that this woman was indeed a little interesting. As soon as his thoughts turned, Niu Youdao asked again: "Mr. Lan shouldn't point the place where the 100,000 crows are hiding to Cangwu County for no reason, right?" ”
Lan Ruoting gave an explanation: "Cangwu County is terrainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is easy for the prince to gain a foothold after he goes." ”
Niu Youdao looked coldly, "Five hundred cavalry can fight on flat ground, but the dangerous terrain has become the weakness of the cavalry, and it can't be used at all." Even if the terrain of Cangwu County is dangerous, can a mere 500 men and horses defend Cangwu County to stop the imperial army? Mr. Lan is deceiving me to be young and foolish? ”
This made Lan Ruoting a little embarrassed, and Shang Shuqing hurriedly said: "When my father was alive, there were still some old departments hidden, and they were placed in Cangwu County. ”
Niu Youdao asked, "How many people?" ”
Shang Shuqing sighed lightly: "Although my father was in charge of the soldiers and horses of Dayan during his lifetime, the so-called trees are scattered, coupled with today's strong purge, there are not many loyal and reliable people, only more than 1,000 people are waiting for my brother in Cangwu County, and ordinary people do not dare to recruit easily." ”
Speaking of this, Niu Youdao was a little strange, "I have also heard of King Ning's prestige, how can a famous general on the battlefield be a brainless person, even if he wants to restore the grandeur of the Wu Dynasty and suppress the monks in the world, he can't say it clearly, why bother to offend the monks in the world?" "There is a sentence that has not been spoken, if it were not for this, how could the generalissimo be so easily assassinated if he was protected by a group of monks and masters?
Mentioning this, it was another embarrassing thing for several people, King Ning's proposition violated the interests of monks in the world, and this Taoist master was also a monk after all.
Shang Chaozong, who had been silently observing Niu Youdao, said slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is inseparable from today's saints. ”
Niu Youdao sighed, "How do you say this?" ”
Lan Ruoting sighed: "The cultivators and sects of the world need to support secular spokesmen to convey benefits for themselves, which is the so-called cultivation resources. And those spokespersons are not willing to be controlled by others as puppets all the time, so they pull all the sects and factions in the center to contain and suppress each other, and do not let the family sit big, otherwise they will worry about their lives at any time, so the current pattern of the world has been formed. In fact, no one in the imperial courts of various countries wants to be held hostage by people in cultivation, and the estimate in his heart is similar to that of King Ning, but no one dares to show it, and King Ning is not stupid, how can he openly cause public anger, in the final analysis, there are still people behind this matter. Back then, the former emperor actually intended to pass on the throne of King Ning, but suddenly broke out King Ning's extreme proposition, under the oppression of all kinds of cultivation forces, the pressure of the former emperor was unimaginable to outsiders. In the end, the emperor died suddenly, and his death was unknown, and then the edict was passed on to the present day, which revealed too many strange things! ”
In this way, Niu Youdao understands, and behind this is to put it bluntly, it is a battle for imperial power.
He wasn't interested in this matter, he just learned about the situation, and after he knew about it, he didn't say much, and found the map of Dayan Kingdom and spread it out on the table.
