Chapter 250 Are You Afraid that I Will Become Your Burden?
After looking down at the content of the message in his hand, Chen Tingxiu was speechless. Niu Youdao and Linghu Qiu became sworn brothers!
Looking up at the head, he understood why the head looked a little unnatural.
For the matter of the war horse, Tianyumen knew that things were troublesome before they made a move, so the disciples sent to Qi State were all carefully selected and capable disciples, but in the end, they either fell into the sand or returned home without feathers.
Perhaps the qualifications, experience and cultivation level of the top of the Tianyumen are higher than those of the capable disciples, but it does not mean that the ability to handle things is stronger than those of the capable disciples. Some problems cannot be solved by the force of the Tianyumen to go to Qi.
But there is always a way to solve things, but who to send in the face of a complicated situation has become a problem. Later, the head of the sect said that there is a lack of disciples with the ability of Niu Youdao in the sect. I suggest that everyone should give more consideration to this aspect when recruiting disciples in the future!
Everyone understands the meaning of the head. After some observations, Niu Youdao does have the ability to control complex situations. The head wants Niu Youdao to try. However, Niu Youdao is not a disciple of Tianyumen. If you let Niu Youdao go, Tianyumen will not look good, and let Tianyumen admit that they are incompetent?
There is no way to open this mouth, some face is still needed.
Discussion Well, all kinds of opinions came out.
Some people deny that they are not optimistic about Niu Youdao. The reason is that if he is really capable, how can he be cleared out of the school by the Qing Dynasty like a bereaved dog?
This view tends to demean!
Someone suggested that it would be logical to recruit Niu Youdao into Tianyumen, and then let Niu Youdao do things.
This point of view tends to tear down bridges!
At this juncture, Niu Youdao breached the contract again, demanding that the party here give up the benefits of drinks to the three factions. Knowing that Niu Youdao and the three factions are currently wearing a pair of trousers, after discussing with each other, Niu Youdao took advantage of the situation, but Niu Youdao still hid from Qingxiu, and had no intention of showing his face at all.
Until now, after reading the secret report, they knew that Niu Youdao could not hold back at last, but no one thought that Linghu Qiu would take the initiative to find Niu Youdao, and Niu Youdao and Linghu Qiu became sworn brothers.
The head of the sect asked Linghu Qiu for help, but Linghu Qiu politely refused and was of no help. If Niu Youdao got rid of Linghuqiu this time, and Linghuqiu finally offered to help, what would be the embarrassment for the leader?
Chen Tingxiu handed the secret letter to several other elders for reading. After reading it, all the elders remained silent...
After staying in Qingshan County for more than a day, Niu Youdao finally spoke again about the war horse.
The brothers are easy to talk to each other, Linghuqiu readily agrees, and agrees on the itinerary.
Looking at Linghu Qiu who readily responded on the wine table, Hongxiu and Hongfu looked at each other secretly.
The two of them knew some things well, and they were worried that Linghuqiu's face would not be exposed. If the marriage was not all because of Dongguo Haoran, then Niu Youdao played an effect on the two of them when he said, "If you want to win, you must win".
It's just that Niu Youdao's attitude was not so blunt, he gave the gentleman a step down, and immediately turned to sworn brothers, so the husband readily agreed.
However, the two also believed that the husband made friends everywhere, and as long as someone proposed to be sworn brothers, the husband probably would not refuse, but no one mentioned it like this before. However, this Dao master used soft and hard knives at the same time, and he was suspected of forcing the gentleman to surrender.
Then look at this Daoist who has always been attentive, never leaves the word 'brother', gives enough face, and seems to have a harmless smile.
The situation during the negotiation can be vividly remembered by the two of them.
This man asked for a war horse without saying a few words, and the gentleman expressed difficulty, but this man responded with the trend, even a few hundred horses, so that the gentleman had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, the one who promised well went back to increase the amount, and immediately avoided talking about the increase, and jumped directly to the head of asking for the two of them. It won't make you feel uncomfortable either, it will let you know it well and immediately bypass the topic and jump to worshiping again.
Now that the matter of sworn marriage has been settled, the food and drinks are delicious and entertained, the brothers have something to say, the topic has returned to the horse, and they have gone back and forth and returned to the original point, and finally achieved their goal!
The two of them were quite skeptical. If the matter of sworn brotherhood was not settled, I wonder if something will happen to this Daoist later...
A lake between the mountain depressions is considered a forbidden area, the forbidden area that Yuan Gang wants, and no one is allowed to trespass.
Of course Niu Youdao was an exception. He slowly walked up the hillside and looked down at the valley. He saw the sparkling lake surface. If you look closely, you will find that there are things like straw sliding on the water surface, condescending, and you can vaguely find a group of people swimming under the water.
When approaching the shore, a figure quietly emerged from the water and slowly touched the shore.
Suddenly, a group of people ambushing in the grass on the shore rushed out, and a fierce capture and fight began.
The enemy and the enemy fight each other in the water, and the enemy and the enemy scuffle on the shore. People on both sides of the struggle keep falling down and getting up again.
In more than a year, with sufficient food supply and intensive training, a group of teenagers have changed a lot, whether it is temperament or figure, they are all grown up boys.
Niu Youdao looked back and saw Yuan Gang slowly coming down the hillside. Niu Youdao turned his head and continued to watch the fighting by the lake.
Yuan Gang stood side by side with him and asked, "Going to Qi State?"
Niu Youdao nodded: "Tomorrow."
Yuan Gang nodded, "I'll go get ready." Turn around and leave.
Niu Youdao shouted: "You don't have to go."
Yuan Gang turned around and looked at him with burning eyes, wanting to explain.
Niu Youdao: "This time I'm no weaker than before. There are enough people around me. I need someone I trust to look after my house so that I can have no worries."
Yuan Gang: "This is not a reason, afraid that I will become your burden?"
Niu Youdao: "Yes! You should know that this place is different from before, and there is not much room for you to develop."
"Just give me a destination, and I won't go with you." Yuan Gang raised his chin towards a group of people by the lake, "You can't just stay at home and practice, you need to go out to learn more, and you won't really understand the meaning of training if you don't experience a real crisis." After saying that, he turned and left.
Niu Youdao frowned, asking people to hide from this guy, how could he let this guy know about the situation?
In the swaying carriage, Niu Youdao and Shang Shuqing sat face to face, and they returned to Qingshan County together.
There was a long silence in the carriage, and Shang Shuqing suddenly tried to ask, "Are you going to say goodbye to my brother?"
With his hands resting on the hilt of his sword and his chin resting, Niu Youdao said with a smile, "I've been bored for a long time, it's time to go out and get some air."
Shang Shuqing was silent.
The carriage came to the back door of the Sheriff's Mansion, and the two got off one after another and entered the mansion.
Lan Ruoting had business to deal with, so he was not here, only Shang Chaozong came to greet him in person.
Shang Chaozong naturally smiled enthusiastically, while Bai Yao, who was standing in a corner of the courtyard, watched from afar.
Sitting in the hall, Shang Chaozong served tea in person, Niu Youdao hurriedly got up, and did not dare to speak.
The two parties sat down again, Shang Chaozong asked: "Master Dao, what are your orders here?"
Niu Youdao smiled: "As for the war horse, I'm going to go to Qi to see the situation in person."
"I'm afraid it's not safe over there. Master Dao can just sit here and take command. You don't have to take risks yourself." Shang Chaozong said worriedly, but he was a little guilty and embarrassed when he met his sister's inexplicable eyes.
Niu Youdao: "I don't know anything about the people and things over there. How can I take command? It's better to go and have a look."
Shang Chaozong: "I will contact Tianyumen and ask Tianyumen to send more experts to escort them."
Niu Youdao shook his head: "There is no need for an escort, I have my own arrangements. But please ask the prince and the Tianyumen to say hello, and if something happens, let the people at the Tianyumen over there fully cooperate with me."
"Okay!" Shang Chaozong nodded again and again, and asked again: "When are you leaving?"
Niu Youdao: "Tomorrow!"
In the evening, by the lake, a group of young men stood neatly, straight as guns.
Yuan Gang came out of the wooden house by the lake, while Yuan Feng, Niu Lin, Yuan Huo, and Niu Shan brought out several large baskets one after another.
Standing opposite a group of young men, Yuan Gang said in a deep voice, "Are you full?"
"We're full!" the group shouted in response.
Yuan Gang turned his head to the back and said, "Distribute the things."
Yuan Feng immediately yelled the slogan, and the boys immediately took turns to collect things from the four of them, such as maps, copper coins, daggers, and packages.
The things were distributed in place, and the boys also stood back to their original positions.
Yuan Gang said loudly: "One hundred copper coins per person, one dagger, one package, one day's dry food and a change of clothes in the package, this is your ration for the next few months. Whether you can eat enough on the way depends on your own ability. If you starve to death, you deserve it!"
"Everyone spread out, five people in a group, and each group has a map. The destination is marked on the map. As for whether to walk, run, or what, you have to figure out your own way. In short, you must arrive within the specified time. If you can't, no one will wait for you."
"When you're ready, go back and rest immediately, keep your spirits up, and set off secretly from the back mountain on time after tonight's midnight! Do you hear me clearly?"
"Understood." The crowd shouted in response.
Yuan Gang was expressionless and cold, turned and left alone.
Feng, Lin, Huo, and Shan then organized all the personnel into groups and explained some precautions.
Just as Yuan Gang said, after midnight, a group of figures fled into the back mountain in the dark, and disappeared into the depths of the forest without a word.
Yuan Gang was also among them, and he set off earlier than Niu Youdao.
And the monks of the three sects hidden in the mountains and forests are also familiar with this scene, and have no other associations.
At dawn, the golden light of the rising sun was everywhere, and in a courtyard on the side of Liuxianzong, five experts from Liuxianzong, Fuyunzong, and Lingxiu Mountain gathered here.
Gongsun Bu came after Niu Youdao, and this time Niu Youdao asked him to go with him, accompanied by five disciples from Wuliang Mountain, each carrying a cage with golden wings on their backs.
