Chapter 322: Much Ado About Nothing

Niu Youdao walked out of the house, stood under the eaves and stretched, with a sword in his hand on the ground, shaking his head from side to side, moving his shoulders and neck, then went down the steps and walked towards Linghuqiu's room.

"Second brother!" Niu Youdao shouted at Linghuqiu's door, and knocked on the door under the door frame with the tail of his sword swinging.

There was no response from the room, Shen Qiu stepped out, showed his face and said, "Master Dao, people have gone out."

Shen Qiu was the one who was recruited last night when Wuliangshan was placed in the capital.

Niu Youdao looked back and asked suspiciously, "Goed out?"

Shen Qiu: "Yes, I went out early in the morning."

"Where did you go?"

"I don't know."

Niu Youdao turned around and came, "All gone?"

Shen Qiu: "Hongxiu is on duty at the gate."

"It's a bit of a shame to let a beautiful woman watch the door." Niu Youdao laughed. At first, he thought that Linghuqiu and the others had run away, but the red sleeves were still there, which meant they hadn't run away. Then he asked, "What's the news from the capital?" Did you participate in the summarization to me?"

Shen Qiu: "I sorted it out."

Niu Youdao: "I saw in the information that there is a monk named Matchmaker here, who is quite a mess here in Qijing."

Shen Qiu: "Yes."

Niu Youdao: "How much do you know about this matchmaker?"

Shen Qiu: "I haven't contacted her before, but I often hear people here mention that if you want to buy or sell anything, you can find someone through her. This person has a good reputation."

Niu Youdao nodded, turned around and walked away, wandering to the concierge at the gate.

Hong Xiu, who was sitting in the porter room, immediately came out to say hello, "Master Dao, do you want to go out?"

"Second brother went out?"

"yes!"

"Where did you go?"

Hongxiu pretended to be confused and said: "Didn't tell me, I don't know."

Niu Youdao: "There is a monk named Matchmaker in this capital, do you know?"

Hongxiu's heart skipped a beat, does this guy already know where the gentleman is going? How could he be so well informed?

She pretended to be thinking, and chirped, "I've heard of this person, but I'm not familiar with him."

Niu Youdao: "When will the second brother come back?"

Hongxiu: "I don't know, I didn't tell me."

As soon as the words were said here, the sound of horseshoes came from outside, Hongxiu quickly entered the gatehouse, looked out from the small window inside, and quickly came out again to open the door.

Linghu Qiu just happened to walk up the steps, and saw Niu Youdao standing inside the door with a sword in his hand, he was stunned for a moment.

Niu Youdao looked at the carriage at the door, "Where did the second brother go?"

Linghu Qiu came over immediately and invited him into the concierge, "Brother, come here, I have something to tell you."

However, the people in the carriage didn't cooperate very well. Taking advantage of no one's attention in the streets and alleys, Wei Chu jumped out of the carriage, swished into the door, and landed beside the two of them. The situation here is surrounded.

Niu Youdao in front of the sword and pestle looked left and right, and moved his hand on the hilt to a convenient position, "Second brother, what does this mean?"

Wei Chu lifted his chin inward.

Linghu Qiu immediately said with a dry smile to Niu Youdao: "Brother, this is not a place to talk, go in and talk."

The few people just moved in when Hongxiu called out, "Sir."

Linghuqiu immediately motioned for Hongfu to lead the others in, and stayed behind.

After several people walked away, Hongxiu whispered: "Just now Niu Youdao suddenly came to ask me if I know the situation of Hongniang?"

Linghu Qiu was surprised, "He knows that I met Matchmaker?"

Hongxiu: "I don't know what's going on, you came back just as I was talking here."

When Niu Youdao and the others arrived at the main hall, Linghu Qiu also rushed back quickly, and quickly got someone to serve tea.

"You're welcome, let's talk about business." Wei Chu raised his hand to stop the tea serving, waved his hand, and the people who came with him immediately went outside to guard.

Niu Youdao has been observing this man's words and deeds.

Linghu Qiu first introduced: "Brother, this is Mr. Wei Chuwei from Jinwangfu, I have something to ask you."

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Niu Youdao waved his hands and gestured. In fact, he had never heard of this person at all, and he couldn't figure out the reason for this person's visit. First, Bu Xun, then the princess, and now a person from Jinwangfu appeared. As soon as he came out, I don't know if this is Bu Xunrang again.

Wei Chu: "Don't say polite words, just ask." He tilted his head to Linghu Qiu.

Linghuqiu clenched his fists and coughed dryly, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, it's like this. Mr. Wei wants to know what the Chief Executive and Concubine Yu came to talk to you yesterday."

Niu Youdao felt alert.

There were two judgments in his heart instantly, this Wei Chu was either a fake, or Linghu Qiu got him out of nowhere and wanted to find out about him.

Either it is true, he would rather be false, if it is true, it will be a bit troublesome, most people would not ask such a thing, it is self-evident who the other party represents.

Niu Youdao turned his mind, and said with a surprised face: "Second brother, don't you know what we talked about? Why do you ask me? You just tell Mr. Wei and it's over."

Hong Fu, who was listening, was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Niu Youdao in disbelief. He was talking nonsense with his eyes open!

Wei Chu's face darkened, staring at Linghu Qiu.

Linghu Qiu was shocked. He stared at Niu Youdao dumbfounded. He had the urge to strangle Niu Youdao to death. In a hurry, he stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Second brother, when did I know? I asked you, If you don’t want to say it, how come I know it?”

Niu Youdao paid attention to Wei Chu's reaction, and found that it was not pretending. He sighed inwardly, fearing that it was the second possibility that he didn't want to see.

Looking at Linghuqiu again, the two stared at each other, Niu Youdao suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Oh, I remembered, I remembered, I misremembered, second brother, you don't know, I didn't tell you at the time, I was confused."

Linghuqiu's expression twitched, and he really wanted to ask him. After admitting that I didn't know, why did you pretend to have suddenly realized it, making it look like I was in collusion with you? Isn't this intentional to cause people to misunderstand?

Sure enough, Wei Chu sneered sinisterly, "Hmph, you two performed a good trick! Linghuqiu, I don't care what you are doing, let's talk about what happened yesterday." I don't have time to accompany you The look of playing.

Niu Youdao raised his chin to Linghu Qiu, "Let me tell you."

Linghu Qiu became angry, "I don't know anything, what do you want me to say?"

Niu Youdao turned around and asked Wei Chu, "Since Mr. Wei is a member of King Jin's Mansion, it's over if you just ask Bu Xunbu, the chief manager, why make things difficult for us?"

Wei Chu: "Chairman, when we should ask, we will naturally ask, and I am asking you now."

Niu Youdao nodded, he didn't want to provoke this person, and he confessed happily: "The chief executive and the princess came to see me for the same thing, hoping to facilitate the peace between King Yongping and the court of Yan Kingdom."

Naturally, he wouldn't talk about giving him the token. After finally handing over the batch of documents here, how could he cause trouble for himself again.

Wei Chu: "Is it that simple?"

Niu Youdao was surprised and said, "Isn't this simple?"

Wei Chu: "Naturally, the envoys will take care of the peace-promoting matter. Do you need the chief executive and Princess Yu to come to you in turn?"

Niu Youdao couldn't explain it, Hao Yuntu made concessions to find the token, and at the same time asked the princess to make peace, this matter even he himself was confused, how could he explain what was going on, wryly smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, I That's all I know, if you ask again, I can't tell you anything."

Wei Chu stood up and walked to him slowly.

Niu Youdao also stood up, and the two looked at each other.

Wei Chu: "Niu Youdao, if you talk nonsense, you have to bear the consequences."

Niu Youdao: "I've said everything I need to say. If Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, I can't help it. If you don't believe it, you can confront the chief executive or the princess."

Wei Chu: "Are you using the chief executive to suppress me?"

Niu Youdao: "No such intention at all, I just don't want to cause any misunderstanding."

Wei Chu raised his hand slowly, and poked Niu Youdao's chest with a finger, and poked it several times, "Are you trying to fight against the prince? Don't forget what this place is. This is the country of Qi, isn't it?" Your country of Yan is not a place where everyone can behave wildly! I advise you to think clearly before speaking."

In a way, his gesture was extremely disrespectful.

Niu Youdao looked at the hand that was poking his chest, and said calmly: "Mr. Wei, I will never dare to oppose the prince. I have already honestly explained what should be said and what should not be said."

Wei Chu moved his finger to Niu Youdao's shoulder, and patted his shoulder with his palm, "So, are you going to say something else?"

Niu Youdao: "I can't lie to Mr. Wei with nonsense, can I?"

"Hehe!" Wei Chu laughed, and patted Niu Youdao on the shoulder a few times, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't want anyone else to know about today's conversation, or you will bear the consequences!"

Niu Youdao: "Mr.'s reminder, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

With a cold face, Wei Chu put down his hands, turned his head and walked away.

Linghu Qiu hurriedly followed up to see him off.

Niu Youdao went out and stood under the eaves with his sword in front of him, watching the guests leave with a slight frown.

Outside the gate, as the carriage left, Linghu Qiu also watched him off, accompanied by Hongxiu and Hongfu.

When the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Linghu Qiu slowly put down his hand, turned his head to Hong Fu and said, "This man is too arrogant, send a message and ask the higher-ups to find out where this Wei Chu came from." After saying that, he turned around. And back.

Back in the main hall, seeing Niu Youdao under the eaves, Linghu Qiu hurried up and said angrily, "What did you mean just now?"

He was referring to Niu Youdao's intentional misleading of Wei Chu just now.

What else could Niu Youdao mean? Naturally, in case something happened to drag him into the water together, he asked back: "Are you asking me? I want to ask second brother what do you mean? You know the background of this person , and brought him to see me, are you deliberately looking for trouble for me?"

Linghuqiu was stumped by these words. It was because he didn't talk about loyalty first, and then he sighed and said, "I don't want to make trouble for nothing. You already know his background. He found me suddenly this morning and insisted on inquiring about it." What do you think I can do about what happened yesterday?"

Niu Youdao: "If you say you don't know, it's over. Why did you bring me to see you?"

Linghu Qiu said blindly: "I didn't want to bring him, he wanted me to bring him here, can I refuse?"

Niu Youdao: "You said it's over if I'm not here?"

Linghu Qiu rolled his eyes and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? He even knows when someone sees you, so he doesn't know if you are there or not?"
