Chapter 101 Golden State Capital City
To hide it from Yuan Gang? Shang Shuqing was puzzled, but Niu Youdao had already turned around and left without explaining at all.
Watching him off, Meng Shanming asked: "Are you sure the two stones he put out are for you to see?"
Shang Shuqing, who was also watching off, had a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't dare to confirm it before, but now I do."
Meng Shan groaned, "How?"
Shang Shuqing: "Just now, he didn't show any clues. He didn't say he was going to Jinzhou until we met Mr. Gongsun and we told him that this place is a secret ordnance manufacturing place. I don't believe that he would go to Jinzhou in advance I didn't think about it. I don't believe that he can suddenly rise up and make a decision. The stone was placed for me to see. After placing the stone, he avoided Yuan Gang, and the person appeared here and waited... He couldn't have been waiting here all the time go down."
Meng Shanming thought about it and said slowly: "Understood, he is looking at our sincerity, if we don't tell, he won't ask, and he won't tell Jinzhou."
Shang Shuqing: "Since he knows the relationship between the two stones, he should have noticed something happened a long time ago. Maybe he has been waiting for us to tell him, but he has not waited. This time he put the stones out for me to see, like It is giving us a chance, giving us the last chance! If we still keep it from him, I have a hunch that we may not be able to keep him, and he may take Yuan Gang away, instead of saying Going to Golden State!"
Meng Shanming also smiled bitterly: "Understood, he is weighing whether it is worth it, it seems that he thinks it is risky for him to go here!"
Shang Shuqing was a little worried, and she realized it, but she couldn't stop it. Tianyumen and Feng Lingbo wouldn't give their siblings too long. It seems that this is the only good opportunity to annex Qingshan County. To a certain extent, because she has seen Niu Youdao's ability, she hopes that Niu Youdao's ability can help their brother and sister.
However, this mentality made her quite self-blame, her selfishness made others take risks...
"Where are you going?"
In the yard, Yuan Gang, who had finished tidying up after practicing, was stunned.
Niu Youdao said indifferently: "Find something for cultivation."
Yuan Gang nodded, "When are you leaving?" He obviously meant to make preparations in advance.
Niu Youdao: "I'm leaving tomorrow, you don't have to go, I'll just take the old bear with me."
I dont go? Yuan Gang was stunned, as if he hadn't expected that Niu Youdao would not let him go with him.
Niu Youdao explained: "It's nothing. If you escape from here, you don't have to worry about being watched. If you go back to Canglu County from the secret road and start again, it will be dangerous. Maybe you will be watched by the enemy. So I I am going to take the old bear directly over the mountains and leave, this mountain road is not easy to walk, it is a problem for you to climb all the way."
Yuan Gang was silent for a moment, thinking about it, and asked: "How long will you be there, and when will you be back?"
Niu Youdao: "We haven't been alone in the outside world yet, and we don't understand many things. I can't explain clearly at the moment, but it shouldn't take too long."
Yuan Gang: "Am I waiting here?"
Niu Youdao: "You can stay here or go to Canglu County. It depends on how Shang Shuqing arranges it. If I come back after finishing my work, I should go back to Canglu County quietly. If you go to Canglu County, Look at the people of Lao Xiong, as well as that Lu Shengzhong, if the plan of Shang Chaozong goes well, you can use Lu Shengzhong's chess piece."
Yuan Gang nodded, turned his head and said to Yuan Fang: "After going out with Master Dao, cheer up and be sharp, otherwise don't blame me for sending those monks to see the Buddha."
Yuan Fang's expression twitched, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Master Yuan, don't worry."
The next day, in front of the dressing table, Shang Shuqing tidied Niu Youdao's hair very carefully, while the person sitting in the mirror closed his eyes and remained silent.
After the two came out of the house, Yuan Fang had already carried a package and was waiting outside, and Yuan Gang offered Niu Youdao's saber.
Niu Youdao reached out to grab the sword, strode away, followed by Yuan Fang.
Shang Shuqing and Yuan Gang went out of the yard to watch them off, and Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also watched them off from a certain corner.
Leaving the village without haste, Niu Youdao and Yuan Fang suddenly accelerated, flying one after the other, and climbed up a high mountain.
The two stopped at the top of the mountain, and Yuan Fang followed Niu Youdao to look back at the village hidden in the mountains, and then each took a small green leaf and put it in his mouth. This leaf is unknown, but the people in the village named it 'Qingxin', and holding this leaf in their mouths can deal with the miasma in the mountains.
"Go!" Niu Youdao gave a cry, his body suddenly popped out from the top of the mountain, the person shot out like an arrow off the string, and the air machine in his body burst out and condensed like wings, flying with the speed of fire and the height of climbing.
Yuanfang gliding in the air and chased after him.
There was a mountain hitting them head-on, and the two people, one in front and one behind, quickly flew around with the help of air buoyancy, passing between the two mountains like two big birds.
The wind whistled in my ears.
Yuan Fang's cultivation was obviously not as good as Niu Youdao's. The air wings collapsed after rubbing at high speed in the air, and the person quickly landed on the mountain and ran fast, ejected again and regrouped into air wings to catch up. Niu Youdao's breathing frequency was significantly slower than Yuan Fang's, but he still occasionally stopped and waited, otherwise Yuan Fang might lose track of him.
The two rise and fall quickly when they meet flat ground, and when they meet a hill, they either pass over or fly around.
Among the vast mountains, two figures, one in front and one behind, seem to be flying freely like birds...
After half a day, the ups and downs of the mountains obviously eased a lot, and the miasma in the mountains was obviously gone. Niu Youdao reckoned that he had already left that area.
When they saw the ribbon-like official road, the two of them stopped, and Yuan Fang was already exhausted like a dead dog. "Bah" spat out the leaves in his mouth, and knelt on the ground holding a big tree to breathe. Panting, such a non-stop way for half a day is really too much for him.
Niu Youdao's complexion was not good, and his mana was consumed too much. If it wasn't for rushing, he would not have done this at all. In such a weak state, it would be really troublesome if he met someone looking for trouble.
The two hid in the forest next to the official road, ate and drank something, and then meditated cross-legged to recover.
Niu Youdao recovered quickly, firstly because he was not as exhausted as Yuan Fang, and secondly, he could use the amulet of transmission in his body.
Yuan Fang's recovery speed was a bit slow, and he only recovered in the evening, and there was no way, as the two of them didn't have any panacea to help them recover quickly, so he could only recover slowly.
Originally, Niu Youdao did have one, Song Yanqing and his three brothers found a little bit, but he used it for trying. Lu Shengzhong also found it, and he gave it all to Yuan Fang, and Yuan Fang, who had never tasted it, immediately tried it.
To a certain extent, both of them are poor people in the practice world, and they are the poor ones.
A passing carriage was stopped on the official road, and after asking about the route, a gold coin diverted the carriage to the nearest county seat.
After rushing all the way, the carriage finally rushed the two of them into the city before the city gate closed at night.
He found an inn in the city to settle down, and Niu Youdao ordered a table of delicious food to reward Yuan Fang.
At the dinner table, Yuan Fang asked Niu Youdao, who was looking at the street outside the window with a thoughtful expression: "Master Dao, where are we going?"
Niu Youdao said indifferently: "The capital city of Jinzhou."
Yuan Fang muttered, "It seems that there is still a long way to go."
Niu Youdao: "Hurry up and eat, there is still something to do after eating."
"Oh!" Yuanfang quickly filled his stomach with a splash.
When paying the bill, Niu Youdao threw a silver coin to the clerk as a reward, and the clerk nodded and bowed happily.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, the money was naturally not for nothing, "Dude, I want to ask you something."
The guy hurriedly said, "Say it, say it."
Niu Youdao asked: "Do you know where the home of the Chengyi official in the county is?"
The clerk thought for a while, then pointed in a direction and said, "It's not far from the county government office. Li Chengyi's house is in the alley on the left diagonally across from the county government office. You can find out when you go there. Is the guest officer looking for Mr. Li?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said: "It's nothing, his friend asked me to send him a letter."
He dismissed it casually, and then left the inn with Yuan Fang, went straight to the place the buddy said, and inquired, and found the house of the official Chengyi.
Naturally, there is no other reason to find this person. It is not impossible to afford a horse to use as a post-horse, but the post-horse can be transferred at a post-station along the way, so that it is convenient to travel quickly. There is no difficulty in this matter, and there is no need for threats of force. Threats of force are not good, just throw money at them.
A handful of gold coins were sprinkled on the table, and the postman was immediately dealt with. The two parties agreed to see you tomorrow morning.
The next day, in a remote place outside the city, this Li Chengyi brought two post horses, two sets of postman's clothes, and the official letter issued by him.
The so-called payment with one hand and delivery with the other hand, the other agreed gold coin was given to this Li Chengyi.
Niu Youdao and Yuan Fang changed their clothes, got on their horses, and rode away at full speed, changing trains at post stations, and rushed to Jinzhou Fucheng without stopping.
Two days later, the travel-worn two arrived in Jinzhou Prefecture smoothly, delivered the official letter to the official office, and the posthorse also stayed behind. There was no need to take away the posthorse and cause trouble.
In Fulin Inn, when the two came to the entrance of the inn, Yuan Fang was holding a flower in his hand, which was very conspicuous. Immediately, a man approached the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Fang Zhe."
Niu Youdao looked him up and down and said, "Niu Youdao."
The man named Fang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stretched out his hand to greet him: "Master Dao, please!" He led the two of them into the inn and went to his room.
The reason for this scene was naturally planned with Shang Shuqing before departure. Shang Shuqing urgently sent a message to Shang Chaozong to ask the people from the Shang Dynasty sect who had been in contact with Jinzhou to meet with Niu Youdao.
In the room, Fang Zhe closed the door, turned around and asked immediately, "My lord summoned me to cooperate with Daoist Lord. I don't know how the lord wants me to cooperate?"
"The situation!" Niu Youdao: "Tell me everything you know about Hai Ruyue in detail."
"Okay!" Fang Zhe immediately explained in detail what he had learned.
Niu Youdao interrupted to ask questions from time to time, and the two talked for a long time before stopping.
After getting some understanding, Niu Youdao got up from the house and said: "Take a rest for one night, the inn will open a room for us, and take me to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow."
Fang Zhe stood up, "Master Dao, maybe tomorrow is not suitable? Tomorrow, Hai Ruyue's 40th birthday, many guests will come to the door, and she may not see you... She thinks I'm long-winded and doesn't want to see you now."
Niu Youdao: "It's okay, just say that the good doctor that the lord invited for her son has come, not to mention her 40th birthday, even if she remarries, she will still have time to see me."
