Chapter 306 The Proud One

"So..." Niu Youdao muttered in thought.

"What?" Linghu Qiu asked.

Niu Youdao explained: "I mean, the power background is not big, and the family can't swallow 100,000 horses. It seems that they will be auctioned separately."

Linghuqiu: "There's no need to worry about this, let's see how the emperor arranges it."

Anyway, there is nothing to do, and they can't practice with peace of mind. The two discussed in a long-winded manner.

In the evening, Hong Fu prepared food and wine, and after enjoying it, the sky was already dark.

Niu Youdao let Hongfu make some paste, and found some yellow paper from the study, took a lantern under the eaves, pasted the yellow paper on the lantern, and the lantern gave off a hazy yellow light when lit .

"Hang on the top of that tree so that people on the street outside can see it." Niu Youdao pointed to the tallest tree in the front yard, and gave the order, and handed the lantern in his hand to Hong Fu.

Hong Fu took the lantern and left to do so.

Standing side by side under the eaves, Linghu Qiu asked, "Brother, who are you sending a signal to?"

Niu Youdao hummed, "Give it to Hei Mudan."

Linghu Qiu was surprised: "Didn't they leave?"

Niu Youdao was vague, "There are other arrangements."

In fact, the signal was sent to Yuan Gang. If Pei Sanniang didn't come today, he would hang up a white lantern to indicate that he can do it, and a yellow lantern to indicate that he can hold off on it.

He would like to meet Yuan Gang, but it is unrealistic at the moment, there are too many people staring at him, once Yuan Gang is exposed, he will put Yuan Gang in danger.

To drive away Hei Mudan and others in advance is also a kind of protection for Yuan Gang to a certain extent. Once the capital is burned, he may be suspected. First of all, the person who suspected him, the disappeared Hei Mudan and others will become the primary suspects. As long as Yuan Gang is given enough time, he believes that Yuan Gang has the ability to eliminate 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 by hand.

On one side of the mountain are the lights of thousands of families in the capital, and on the other side is the sky full of stars on the grassland, and the breeze is blowing.

A man in red was standing on the edge of a cliff with his hands behind his back, looking at the lights of the capital city and the stars.

The man, Yushu Linfeng, has a handsome face, a little aloofness in his eyes, and he does have the ability to be aloof. He Kunlin Shu is a hero among the younger generation of Tianhuo Sect, and no one in his generation can match him.

A beautiful woman in a red dress flew over, lightly descended from the sky, and landed beside Kunlin Shu, her figure was graceful and charming, she stared at Kunlin Shu with bright eyes, and said softly: "Brother, what are you thinking about? "

She, Nie Yunshang, known as "Fire Phoenix", is also an outstanding disciple of the generation of Tianhuo Sect, and Kun Linshu is a quasi-husband and wife relationship, and the two are already engaged.

Kunlin Shu looked back at her, smiled slightly, and then turned back to look at the city of lights again, "I heard that Niu Youdao's cultivation is still in the foundation building stage, who do you think is stronger, me or him?"

Huo Fenghuang smiled and said: "The illusory generation, how can you compare with senior brother, you and my senior brother and sister's cultivation is about to break through to the golden core stage, how can he be compared."

Kun Linshu: "Then how many seniors in this sect do you think are better than Zhuo Chao?"

Huo Fenghuang proudly said: "The so-called alchemy list, senior brother has seen a few sects who have a place in the Misty Pavilion will be named on it, just disdain, and how can it be compared by Zhuo Chao, my Tianhuo sect can beat it There are naturally countless outstanding ones.”

Kun Linshu: "Then do you think if I challenge Niu Youdao, can I win?"

"..." Huo Fenghuang was stunned, and immediately reminded: "Senior brother, don't mess around, the emperor wants to use Niu Youdao to clean up the smog in the capital, which is also good for our Tianhuo sect, miscellaneous people Too much of our Tianhuo Sect's energy is involved, if something goes wrong, the emperor's face will be second, and it will be bad if it makes the masters unhappy."

Kun Linshu: "Of course I know this. I just want to meet Niu Youdao who killed Zhuo Chao. I also went to the waterfall platform, but I didn't see it. I hope Tianjing Lake tomorrow won't let me down again!"

"Brother..."

Before Huo Fenghuang could finish speaking, Kunlinshu raised his hand to interrupt, "I'm just going to have a look, and the master also asked me to pay attention to tomorrow's auction. If there is anything, I can report the news to the master in time."

Huo Fenghuang was silent, and said: "Brother, bring me with you tomorrow."

Kun Linshu turned his head, looked at her and smiled, and slowly stretched out his hand to hold her catkin.

Huo Fenghuang slowly leaned beside him, tilted his head on his shoulder, showing a little hopeful look, and murmured: "We have to wait for more than half a year."

Kun Linshu knew that she was referring to the wedding date of the two, but from time to time what appeared in his mind was the situation when he was on duty in the palace today.

On the way of the emperor, I happened to meet him and asked how strong was Niu Youdao who killed Zhuo Chao?

He replied that he hadn't seen it, didn't know it, and it was difficult to make an evaluation.

The emperor asked him again, how is it compared to you?

He replied, "I haven't played against each other before, so I don't know!"

The emperor asked, how do you compare with Zhuo Chao?

He was silent at the time, he had never seen Zhuo Chao, let alone fought against Zhuo Chao, although the Tianhuo Sect would not take Zhuo Chao seriously, but the first-class masters on the alchemy list are no joke, they must have some real skills Yes, he didn't dare to say that he could be Zhuo Chao's opponent, not to mention the obvious gap in cultivation.

Seeing his silence, the emperor turned and left, but before he left, he sighed, "I heard that Zhuo Chao is a first-class expert on the alchemy list, but he is not Niu Youdao's opponent, presumably no one in the same generation in the practice world is Niu Youdao Opponents of Tao, wouldn't it be great if they could serve others!

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 contemporaries, but what the emperor said made him feel very uncomfortable...

Pei Sanniang said that Daqiumen would come to pick up Niu Youdao early in the morning, and it really came early in the morning, a dozen monks reined in outside the alley, but did not enter the alley.

Pei Sanniang dismounted alone, entered the alley, and entered the courtyard, and brought Niu Youdao and others out after a while.

When he got outside the alley, Niu Youdao bowed his hands to a group of Daqiumen disciples, but no one paid any attention to him, they all looked at him coldly.

Niu Youdao was quite embarrassed when his enthusiasm was met with silence. Fortunately, Niu Youdao didn't care much about this, otherwise he would really lose face.

He also knew that if such a thing hadn't happened to him, how could he have the qualifications to let Daqiumen come to pick him up.

Pei Sanniang pointed out a horse for Niu Youdao, and another vacant horse for Linghuqiu. It seems that she guessed that Linghuqiu was going to follow, and she already knew that she was sworn brother.

However, only two empty horses were prepared, not for Hongxiu and Hongfu.

"Let's go!" The leader of the man on the horse greeted, and he rode forward.

"You don't want to follow, just stay here." Linghu Qiu explained to Hong Xiu and Hong Fu, and then got on the horse and left with Niu Youdao.

Everyone watched.

Seeing Daqiumen personally escorting them, there are many unidentified monks in the streets and alleys. You look at me, I look at you, no one dares to act rashly.

There are too many people in the city to run horses. After leaving the city, the group started galloping on their horses and headed north of the city. It seemed that someone was watching them all the way...

In the palace, in a hall where government affairs are handled, Hao Yuntu reviewed the documents after filing, focusing and earnestly.

Outside the door, the chief executive came quickly, and after saluting, he walked around to the case, bent down and whispered in Hao Yuntu's ear: "Your Majesty, just after receiving the summons, people from Daqiu Gate have already escorted Niu Youdao to leave, Moon Island Over there, the Kunlin tree has also arrived."

Hao Yuntu slightly raised his eyes to see the scene outside the hall, and snorted coldly, "I have a high opinion of myself, no matter how excited I am, I will know that he will go."

Bu Xun said: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with using the people of Tianhuo Sect? In fact, it was rumored afterwards that Niu Youdao designed this auction in order to protect himself, and those sects that suffered losses must find Niu Youdao The way to settle accounts."

Hao Yuntu: "Is a little monk worthy of the reputation of crossing rivers and destroying bridges? But this Niu Youdao seems to be really capable. If you can't make enemies head-on, try to avoid it, and try to divert the conflicts that can be diverted. Who will happen in the future? Make it clear, so don't delay the problem that can be solved immediately! That Kunlin tree is arrogant, self-righteous, arrogant, and dares to beat the widow's son. The door talks about these things. That Niu Youdao has a long-standing reputation, so it’s okay for Kunlinshu to try whether he is a worthless scholar under his reputation.” After finishing speaking, he continued to concentrate on processing the official documents on the case.

"Yes!" Bu Xun slightly bowed in response, understanding His Majesty's intentions.

One dared to hit the prince, and the other dared to molest the princess. The emperor deliberately let the two of them bite the dog.

If Kunlin Shu loses, he will lose face even if he does not die. If Niu Youdao wins, the Tianhuo Sect can't afford to lose that face, and it will definitely be disadvantageous to Niu Youdao...

Fifty miles away from the capital city, a vast lake appeared in front of it. It looked as wide and boundless as the sea, but it was much calmer than the sea. The lake was blue, really like a big mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, which is the name of Tianjing Lake. origin.

While a group of people reined in their horses and 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 appeared in everyone's sight, and a group of people quickly landed on the island.

The island is in the shape of a crescent moon, densely covered with trees, and there is a villa built on the island, which is a good place for rest.

It was originally a peaceful place with few people, but at this time the island is overcrowded. It is estimated that there are at least thousands of people gathered. All kinds of people are staring at Niu Youdao and others. They all wear masks and do not show their true colors. .

There was nothing else to say, the people from the Daqiu Gate directly took Niu Youdao to a cliff on the island, there were already several people waiting in a pavilion, two of them were covered with black cloaks, and a man One woman, one in red dress and one in red skirt, are Kunlin Tree and Fire Phoenix.

Linghu Qiu whispered in Niu Youdao's ear, "The one in the black cloak should be a member of Xuanbingzong, and the one in red should be a member of Tianhuo Sect."

After the party entered the pavilion, Kunlin Shu suddenly stared at Niu Youdao and said, "Are you Niu Youdao?"

The demeanor in the speech is quite condescending.
