Chapter 114 Breaking Off the Relationship
Canglu County, Ningwang Villa.
Before dawn, a servant knocked on the door, "My lord!"
Shang Chaozong, who was still asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Feng Ruonan, who was sleeping beside him, also woke up. He raised his head to look at the sky outside the window, and frowned slightly. It's not daylight yet. Could something be wrong?
The two of them now naturally won't hide in the house and fight again. After so long, Feng Ruonan has gradually gotten used to the person next to him, and he is also used to sleeping together.
The outside replied: "The princess please see me."
In fact, Shang Shuqing didn't come back for long, she only arrived yesterday evening. As soon as Niu Youdao left the village, she lost the mood to stay in the village, and she was thinking about things here, so as soon as Niu Youdao left, she almost packed up her things with Yuan Gang and returned.
Coming back is much smoother and easier than going back. There are prepared boats in the village, which can be carried directly into the secret passage and flow down the river, which is easy and convenient.
Shang Chaozong also looked at the sky outside the window, knowing that if there was no special matter, Shang Shuqing would not bother him at this time, so he immediately lifted the quilt and got down on the bed, quickly put on his shoes in the dark, without his coat, and took off a cloak Wrapped around his body, he walked away quickly.
Feng Ruonan sat up with a puzzled look on his face.
As soon as Shang Chaozong, who was closing the door, came out, someone immediately approached and whispered: "My lord, the princess is in a hurry, and I can't talk about it here, let the lord go to the princess's side."
Shang Chaozong heard the meaning of these words, and looked around, there were many secret whistles from Feng Ruonan, while Shang Shuqing's side was all his own people, so he nodded slightly and strode away.
When he came to the small courtyard where Shang Shuqing lived, Shang Chaozong discovered that Lan Ruoting was also there, standing with Shang Shuqing, apparently waiting for him.
After the meeting, Lan Ruoting signaled to go to Shang Shuqing's study, and at the same time gestured to the guards to be on guard, not to let anyone approach her.
Shang Shuqing's study room is very elegant, with paintings and calligraphy written by herself hanging on them. The flowers and paintings are elegant and the handwriting is beautiful.
The lamp was already on, and upon entering the study, before Shang Chaozong asked anything, Lan Ruoting had already pulled out a secret report from his sleeve and handed it to him.
The secret report is not the original, but a code word used by the military. Lan Ruoting has already translated and transcribed it, so that it can be read directly. Despite the use of code words, there are still risks in using Golden Wings to send messages. The journey is full of unpredictability, and it may be deciphered if it falls into the hands of others.
Shang Chaozong quickly spread out, looked at the light, his face gradually revealed a look of surprise and surprise, he was surprised that he didn't expect Niu Youdao to meet Song Long as soon as he went to Jinzhou, he was in danger, Niu Youdao was happy that he not only The danger was resolved, and Hai Ruyue's side was evened out, opening up the situation that was about to fall into trouble here again.
In the secret report, the process was clearly explained in detail, and Hai Ruyue's side was probably persuaded to make preparations in advance.
After putting down the things in his hands, Shang Chaozong suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have the help of Daoist Lord, like a fish in water, it's really God helping me!"
Lan Ruoting also said with great emotion: "Yes! I didn't expect it to be so fast. The Taoist just arrived in Jinzhou yesterday, and he almost settled the matter that night. He is really a rare talent! The prince is so virtuous, it is enough Reaching one hundred thousand soldiers, General Meng is right to spread the word to make friends!"
Shang Shuqing's expression was a little dazed. She remembered that when she was in the mountain village, she still stopped her, thinking it was a waste of time. She really didn't expect that Niu Youdao would get the matter settled so quickly. She just received good news when she came back .
However, because of this, she suddenly said coldly, "Fang Zhe made a mistake! The Song family didn't know anything about the situation when they arrived. If Master Dao hadn't saved the day by himself, he would have almost harmed Master Dao, almost caused a big mistake, and made a big mistake!"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, Shang Shuqing's tone and attitude were very rare.
Lan Ruoting pondered for a while, and said: "Princess, in fact, Fang Zhe can't be entirely blamed for this matter. We don't have much manpower in Jinzhou. Fang Zhe has limited manpower, so it's understandable that he can't focus on too many sides. What's more Fang Zhe didn't know about Daoist's situation at all before, and he didn't know the grievances between the Song family and Daoist, so it's understandable!"
Shang Shuqing said in a deep voice: "Can't we think of a way to develop some informants due to lack of manpower? Did you not bring enough money when you set off? If there is such a mistake, if you don't do it well, you don't do it well. Do you need to find an excuse? I think He's limited!"
Her attitude was obviously very dissatisfied with Fang Zhe, and suddenly the aura of the princess broke out. After all, she is a person who has lived in the world for a long time, and she has that background in her bones.
Others don't know her mood, if she didn't tell Niu Youdao about it because she wanted to ask Niu Youdao for advice, Niu Youdao, who is in retreat, doesn't need to intervene in this matter. I almost lost my life because of the mistakes here.
Seeing the situation in the secret report, it was too dangerous. Song Long, as the envoy of Yan, how could he not have masters by his side?
After being in contact with Niu Youdao for so long, she could feel that he was a casual person who didn't intend to get involved in too much right and wrong. It was she who tried her best to use Yuan Gang to keep him, and ran out because of her. She worked so hard for her family, but in the end she almost lost her life in this accident, she was inexplicably worried just thinking about it!
Lan Ruoting was a little embarrassed, nodded and said: "Yes, the princess is right, I will reprimand you later!"
Shang Chaozong didn't want Lan Ruoting to be too embarrassed. After all, Fang Zhe was appointed by Lan Ruoting to arrange for him to go. My sister didn't give her husband face by saying this, and said, "Qing'er, we are no more than before. We have scarce manpower. , Fang Zhe also lacks the experience of being an ambassador, and most of the talents are tempered...Of course, talents like Daoye are born and there is no way to compare. However, he has learned a lesson, and he should pay attention to it next time .”
Shang Shuqing also realized that her emotions were a little bit wrong, and her words were a bit too much, because Fang Zhe couldn't be justified in dealing with this matter, so she nodded and said: "I also hope that he will be more vigilant and considerate, after all, this kind of mistake can't be afforded."
Lan Ruoting nodded and said: "The Princess is right." It was just that she looked at Shang Shuqing with suspicion.
Shang Chaozong raised his hand to stop, and waved the secret report in his hand, "Let's discuss how to communicate with Tianyumen first."
But Shang Shuqing interjected, "Master Dao asked us to publicly disassociate ourselves from him, what should we do?"
There was another silence in the study, and Lan Ruoting sighed, "Master Dao has a heart, and it's for our own good. In fact, Master Dao doesn't care about names. It doesn't matter if you have one or not. Just do as he says. "
Shang Shuqing pursed her lips. What she wanted to say was, once this title was severed, would Niu Youdao just leave?
After the results of the conspiracy and deliberation here came to fruition, it was daylight.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting left hand in hand, leaving Feng Ruonan aside, and went to Bai Yao's residence.
After meeting with Bai Yao, the two told the situation selectively, and even made a little arrangement.
Bai Yao heard this with a solemn expression, wandering in the courtyard thinking.
Lan Ruoting stared at his reaction and asked: "Since Hai Ruyue has this intention, I don't know whether we should take the Qingshan County in front of us or not?"
Bai Yao stopped walking, and turned his head to look, "It won't be too late to make a decision after I go to the teacher's school and get a reply!"
Lan Ruoting met Shang Chaozong's eyes, Shang Chaozong cupped his hands and said: "In that case, then we will wait for news from the mage."
Bai Yao squinted coldly and said, "Didn't it mean that Niu Youdao escorted the Princess to contact the former Ministry of King Ning? Why did you go to Jinzhou?"
Lan Ruoting hurriedly explained: "Jinzhou sent a message here, and we don't have any manpower outside, so I had to trouble Niu Youdao for a run. In fact, I really didn't have any preparations. If I really wanted to, I wouldn't bump into Song Long." This issue."
"I don't understand!" Bai Yao replied unceremoniously, and said coldly: "My lord, next time this kind of thing happens, it's better to say hello first, so as not to cause any unpleasantness!"
Lan Ruoting smiled wryly, "I didn't know it was at first, Hai Ruyue only said that there was something to discuss..."
In the vegetable field, among the group of monks weeding the vegetable field, there is an extra person, Wei Duo!
Yuan Gang, who was standing under the tree, looked at this person who had already died once. After he came, he heard that he almost knelt outside the door and was almost buried. Fortunately, Bai Yao intervened and checked it out. It was only then that he was rescued.
I heard that he was seriously injured that time, and it took him a while to recover. After he was able to get out of bed and walk around, Bai Yao threw him over here.
With Niu Youdao not around, I don't know how to deal with this stuttering, but Yuan Gang didn't seem to have any intention of driving him away.
A monk wearing a bamboo hat walked quickly from a distance, went to the city to purchase some things for monks, and came back with a basket on his back.
"Yuan Ye, I just saw the announcement in the city that the king of Yongping County said that he has expelled Dao Ye from Canglu County, and this place has nothing to do with Dao Ye."
Yuan Gang suddenly turned his head.
The monk continued to say: "What's going on? Is it true? Will the Taoist master come back? What about the host? Will the host come back with the Taoist?"
Yuan Gang said in a deep voice, "What exactly did the announcement say?"
"What do you say that Daoist killed Song Long, the envoy of Yan State in Jinzhou of Zhao State, is his personal grievance, and has nothing to do with here..."
After hearing the general meaning, Yuan Gang turned his head and left.
The guards guarding the gate of the Shang Dynasty Zong failed to stop Yuan Gang. Yuan Gang swept over one, threw one over his shoulder, and was finally stopped by a monk.
The movement outside also alerted Shang Chaozong and others to come forward. Seeing Yuan Gang making a move, Shang Chaozong and others immediately guessed the situation.
A few people came over quickly, asking the monk to get out of the way, and asking Yuan Gang to come into the room to talk.
As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Gang immediately asked coldly: "What does it mean to announce the severance of ties with the Taoist?"
"Brother Yuan misunderstood, this is not what we mean, it is the Taoist who sent a message to let us do it..." Lan Ruoting immediately explained the general situation.
Yuan Gang understood that Niu Youdao didn't leave the mountain village to find something useful for cultivation, but to help these people, encountered an accident, and confronted the Song family. He stared at Shang Shuqing coldly, "Did you know it a long time ago? Why did you hide it from me?"
Shang Shuqing's embarrassment at being questioned was because she said, "It was Daoist who repeatedly told me not to tell you."
It's okay not to know this, but as soon as he knew this, Yuan Gang turned around and left immediately.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..." No matter how much the three of Ren shouted, Yuan Gang never looked back.
