Chapter 306: The Proud
"So," Niu Youdao muttered in thought. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What?" asked Ling Huqiu.
Niu Youdao explained: "I mean, the power background is not big, and one family can't swallow 100,000 horses, so it seems that they will be auctioned separately." ”
Ling Huqiu: "There's no need to worry about this, let's see how the emperor arranges it." ”
Anyway, there was nothing to do, and there was no way to cultivate with peace of mind, so the two discussed in a rambling manner.
In the evening, Hongfu prepared wine and food, and after eating, it was already dark.
Niu Youdao asked Hongfu to get some paste, found a few pieces of yellow paper from the study, picked a lantern under the eaves, and pasted the yellow paper on the lantern, which emitted a hazy yellow light after being lit.
"Hang the treetops of that tree so that they can be seen by those who are outside in the streets. Niu Youdao pointed to the tallest tree in the front yard, commanded, and handed the lantern to Hongfu.
Red Whisk picked up the lantern and left.
Ling Huqiu, who was standing side by side under the eaves, asked, "Brother, who are you signaling to?"
Niu Youdao hummed, "Give them to the black peony." ”
Ling Huqiu was surprised: "Didn't they leave?"
Niu Youdao said vaguely, "There are other arrangements." ”
In fact, the signal was sent to Yuan Gang, if Pei Sanniang didn't come today, he would hang out a white lantern to indicate that he could do it, and the yellow lantern meant that he was temporarily holding off.
He wants to meet Yuan Gang even more, but it is not realistic at the moment, there are too many people staring, once Yuan Gang is exposed, Yuan Gang will be put in danger.
Drive away the black peony and others in advance, to a certain extent, it is also a kind of protection for Yuan Gang, once the capital is burned, maybe you will have to suspect him, first of all, you will naturally suspect his people, the disappeared black peony and others will become the primary object of suspicion, as long as Yuan Gang can be given enough time, he believes that Yuan Gang has the ability to clear the hidden dangers and protect himself.
The mountains are high, and the stars in the sky seem to be right in front of you, giving people the feeling that they can be picked up.
On one side of the mountain is the lights of thousands of homes in the capital, and on the other side is the starry sky on the grassland, and the breeze is blowing.
A man dressed in red stands on the edge of a cliff with his hands in his hands, looking at the lights of the capital and the stars.
The man Yushu is in the wind, his face is handsome, his eyes are a little arrogant, and he does have the capital of arrogance, he Kunlin Shu is the handsome master of the younger generation of the Tianhuo Sect, and no one among the disciples of the same generation can match it.
A beautiful woman in a red dress flew over, fluttered down from the sky, and landed beside Kun Lin Shu, her figure was graceful and delicate, staring at Kun Lin Shu with bright eyes, and said softly: "Senior brother, what are you thinking?"
She Nie Yunsheng, known as 'Fire Phoenix', is also an outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect's generation, and Kun Linshu is a quasi-husband and wife, and the two have already made a marriage.
Kun Linshu glanced back at her, smiled slightly, and then looked back at the Lighting Capital, "I heard that Niu Youdao's cultivation is still in the foundation building period, who do you think is stronger between me and him?"
The fire phoenix smiled: "False people, how can they be comparable to senior brothers, you and my senior brothers and sisters' cultivation is about to break through to the Jindan stage, how can he compare." ”
Kun Linshu: "Then how many of the seniors in this sect do you think can be better than Zhuo Chao?"
The fire phoenix said proudly: "The so-called Danbang, senior brother has seen a few people in the sect who have a place in the Ethereal Pavilion will be named on it, and they are just disdainful, how can they be compared to Zhuo Chao's generation, and there are naturally countless people in my Tianhuo Sect who can beat Zhuo Chao." ”
Kun Linshu: "Then do you think if I challenge Niu Youdao, can I win?"
"......" Fire Phoenix was stunned, and immediately reminded: "Senior brother, don't mess around, the emperor's side wants to use Niu Youdao to clean up the black smoke miasma in the capital, which is also good for our Tianhuo Sect, there are too many miscellaneous people, and too many miscellaneous people involve too much energy of our Tianhuo Sect, if something is bad, the emperor's face is secondary, and it will not be good if the master is unhappy." ”
Kun Linshu: "I naturally know this, I just want to meet the Niu Youdao who killed Zhuo Chao, I also went to the Waterfall Terrace, I didn't see it, tomorrow's Tianjing Lake hopes not to disappoint me again!"
"Senior brother..."
Before the fire phoenix finished speaking, Kun Linshu raised his hand and interrupted, "I'm just going to take a look, and the master also asked me to pay attention to tomorrow's auction, and if there is anything, I can report the news to the master in time." ”
The fire phoenix was silent and said, "Senior brother, take me with you tomorrow." ”
Kunlinshu turned his head, looked at her and smiled, and slowly reached out to hold her soft wattle.
The fire phoenix slowly leaned beside him, tilting its head over his shoulder, showing a little hopeful look, and muttered, "It's going to take more than half a year." ”
Kun Linshu knew that she was referring to the wedding date of the two, but what came to his mind from time to time was the situation when he was on duty in the palace today.
The emperor happened to meet him and asked what was the strength of Niu Youdao who killed Zhuo Chao?
He replied, I haven't seen it, I don't know, it's not good to make an evaluation.
The emperor asked him again, "How is it compared to you?"
He replied, I haven't fought before, I don't know!
The emperor asked, how are you compared to Zhuo Chao?
He was silent at the time, he had never seen Zhuo Chao, let alone fought with Zhuo Chao, although the Tianhuo Sect would not take Zhuo Chao in his eyes, but the first-class masters on the Dan list were not child's play, they must have some real skills, and he did not dare to say that he could be Zhuo Chao's opponent, not to mention that the gap in cultivation was obvious.
Seeing that he was silent, the emperor turned around and left, but before leaving, he sighed, I heard that Zhuo Chao is a first-class master on the Dan list, but he is not Niu Youdao's opponent, presumably no one in the same generation in the cultivation world is Niu Youdao's opponent, wouldn't it be happy if he could serve the widow!
I heard that Niu Youdao is very young, and he should be more than ten years older than Niu Youdao, he doesn't know if he and Niu Youdao are considered to be the same generation, but the emperor's words made him feel very uncomfortable......
Pei Sanniang said that Daqiumen would come early in the morning to pick up the cow, and sure enough, it came early in the morning, and more than a dozen monks were outside the alley and did not enter the alley.
Pei Sanniang got off the horse alone, entered the alley, entered the house, and brought Niu Youdao and others out after a while.
When he arrived outside the alley, Niu Youdao bowed to a group of disciples of Daqiumen, but no one paid attention to him, and they all stared coldly.
The enthusiasm was met with coldness, which made Niu Youdao quite embarrassed, but fortunately Niu Youdao didn't care much about this, otherwise he would really not be able to save face.
He also knew that if it weren't for such a thing, how could he be qualified to let Daqiumen pick him up.
Pei Sanniang pointed to a horse for Niu Youdao, and a vacant one for Ling Huqiu, it seems that she guessed that Ling Huqiu was going to follow, and she already knew that she was a sworn brother.
However, only two empty horses were prepared, and there were no preparations for the red sleeves and red whisks.
"Let's go!" a man on horseback beckoned, and he had already beaten his horse forward.
"Don't go with you, just stay here. Ling Huqiu explained to the red sleeves and the red whisk, and then turned over and rode away with Niu Youdao.
Everyone watched.
Seeing Daqiumen personally appearing to escort him, there are many unidentified monks in the streets and alleys, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to act rashly.
There are many people in the city, it is not suitable to run horses, after leaving the city, a group began to gallop on horseback, and went to the north of the city, all the way as if someone was peeping......
In the palace hall, a palace that deals with government affairs, Hao Yuntu reviews the documents after the case, focusing and serious.
Outside the door, the chief manager of Da Nei came quickly, and after saluting, he went around to the desk, bent down and said in Haoyuntu's ear: "Your Majesty, I just received the summons, the people from Daqiu Gate have already escorted Niu Youdao to set off, and on the Moon Island, Kunlin Shu has also arrived." ”
Haoyun Tu raised his eyes slightly to look at the scene outside the hall, and snorted coldly, "I think very highly of myself, no matter how excited I am, the widow will know that he will go." ”
Bu Xun said: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the people of the Heavenly Fire Sect? In fact, after the rumors were released, it was said that Niu Youdao designed this auction in order to protect himself, and those sects that suffered losses must find Niu Youdao to settle accounts. ”
Hao Yuntu: "A little monk, is it worth the reputation of the widow to cross the river and tear down the bridge? But this Niu Youdao seems to really have some ability, if he can avoid making enemies head-on, try to avoid it, and try to transfer the contradictions that can be transferred, who will say things clearly in the future, so don't delay the problems that can be solved in front of him to the future! That Kunlin tree is arrogant, self-righteous, no one in his eyes, even the widow's son dares to fight, he doesn't take the widow in his eyes at all, he won't say these things to the master. That Niu Youdao is also prestigious, whether it is a false person under the fame, there is nothing wrong with letting Kunlin Shu try it. After that, he continued to bury his head in the official documents on the case.
"Yes!" Bu Xun replied with a slight bow, understanding His Majesty's intentions.
One dares to beat the prince, the other dares to tease the princess, the emperor deliberately let the two eat dogs.
If Kunlinshu loses, he will lose face if he doesn't die. If Niu Youdao wins, the Heavenly Fire Sect can't afford to lose that face, and it will inevitably be unfavorable to Niu Youdao......
Fifty miles away from the capital, a sparkling lake appears in front, looking at it as wide as the sea, but much calmer than the sea, the lake is blue, really like a big mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, is the origin of the name of Tianjing Lake.
At the same time that a group of people stopped by the lake, they flew up one after another, flying all the way to the depths of Tianjing Lake.
Until there was no sign of land around, an island in the lake came into view, and a group of people quickly flew down on the island.
The island is crescent-shaped, densely shaded, and there is a village on the island, which is a good place to recuperate.
It was a quiet place that was inaccessible, but at this time the island was overcrowded, and it was estimated that at least thousands of people gathered, and all kinds of people were staring at the arrival of Niu Youdao and others, wearing masks one by one, not showing their true faces.
There was nothing else to be verbose, the people of Daqiumen directly took Niu Youdao to a cliff on the island, and several people were already standing in a pavilion and waiting, two of them were covered with black cloaks, and a man and a woman, one was dressed in red, and the other was dressed in a red dress, which was the Kunlin tree and the fire phoenix.
Ling Huqiu muttered in Niu Youdao's ear, "The one in the black cloak should be from the Xuanbing Sect, and the one in red should be from the Tianhuo Sect." ”
After the group entered the pavilion, Kunlin Shu suddenly stared at Niu Youdao and said, "You are Niu Youdao?"
The demeanor between the words was quite condescending.
