Chapter 446 Seeing Zhao Xiongge Again
The rivers and lakes, the wilderness are dry and prosperous, the roads and roads, the sun rises and the sun sets, and the green hills are not old.
There was a sound of smoke and horseshoes all the way, occasionally mixed with Guan Fangyi's murmured curses.
The person being scolded didn't respond, just smiled occasionally, but Yuan Gang listened to it very unpleasantly, and looked at it coldly from time to time.
Guan Fangyi left after all, but he followed Niu Youdao, and followed him all the way.
There are not many people, ten riders in a row.
Yuanfang was unable to participate in the ups and downs of Nanzhou, and seemed to be a little itchy. This time, he heard that Niu Youdao was going to travel again, so he followed him shamelessly.
As for Gongsun Bu, no one was sent to follow him.
Gongsun Bu followed Niu Youdao's wishes to expand the intelligence network, and things gradually increased, and it was no longer appropriate to run around. On this trip to the Song Kingdom, Yuan Gang and Guan Fangyi are usually involved in the intelligence network of Wuliangshan, and they know how to contact the spies from Songguo, so there is no need to bring people from Wuliangshan.
In a section of the mountain road, the party stopped their horses and stopped at an intersection into the mountain, which was the way into Xiaomiao Village.
Both Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang were looking around the entrance. In a few years, when they saw this entrance again, they were deeply moved.
Niu Lin, Yuan Huo, and Niu Shan pulled their horses out of the group and bid farewell, "Master Dao, let's go."
Niu Youdao smiled and nodded, "Give my regards to the folks."
Niu Lin couldn't help but asked again, "Master Dao, are you sure you don't want to go back and have a look? Your old house is still there." He almost had to mention the ancestral grave.
Guan Fangyi's eyes flickered, and she looked around at the end of the mountain road with a little curiosity. She actually wanted to visit the so-called Xiaomiao Village, and wanted to see what freaks like Niu Youdao could be born in a treasured place of geomantic omen.
Not only is Niu Youdao, even though she and Yuan Gang are at odds, she still has eyesight. She can see that Yuan Gang is not simple. How can she not be curious that a small mountain village can produce two such characters.
Let alone her, even Uncle Chen and the others who accompanied him couldn't help but look at the end of the mountain road twice.
Niu Youdao smiled and said nothing, some questions don't need to be answered.
Yuan Gang shouted: "Don't be long-winded."
The three of Niu Lin had no choice but to cup their hands again, and immediately turned their mounts and charged into the mountain road, galloping away.
Niu Youdao turned his head to look at Yuan Gang, "Aren't you going back to take a look?"
Yuan Gang didn't answer either, he tapped the horse's belly with his heels, and galloped forward first.
Niu Youdao chased after him with his horse, and the party continued on the road.
From Qingshan County to Qi State and then to Changping City, after experiencing some things, especially after the death of more than 30 brothers, Yuan Gang finally had a deep understanding of what Niu Youdao had let him go behind the scenes.
Just like Niu Youdao treated him at the beginning, he now also feels that the distance between himself and his brothers has widened, and he can afford some risks. Letting the brothers rush together is no different from sending them to death.
Fang understood that the way of thinking brought from another world was a bit out of date, and it was meaningless to train the brothers further. The main reason is that the values of the two parties are different. He and Niu Youdao can make a family everywhere, but the concept that the brothers will start a family sooner or later is deeply rooted, so it is unreasonable for so many people to be like the two of them.
In addition, after the rescue of Shang Chaozong that time, Shang Chaozong admired his subordinates very much, and now Shang Chaozong is sitting in the whole Nanzhou and urgently needs to employ people. So Yuan Gang took advantage of the situation and handed over the brothers to Shang Chaozong, and asked the brothers to go for a secular career.
Yuan Gang let go.
This time, when Niu Lin and the others came back, they planned to move all the people from Xiaomiao Village out. Nanzhou is so big that it is enough for the people of Xiaomiao Village to leave the mountain village and live another life.
In fact, Niu Youdao didn't want the people in Xiaomiao Village to move out. He didn't think that the life the villagers lived after leaving Xiaomiao Village was a better life, but Niu Lin and others thought that was a better life. Maybe the villagers thought the same way, so Niu Youdao didn't object.
People have their own choices, and he will not force these people.
As for bringing Yuan Gang this time and not letting Yuan Gang stay behind the scenes, it was Yuan Gang himself who proved his strength and was able to fight head-on with the monks of the Jindan period...
Mountains and rivers are connected, looking around, there is a place in the distance, Zhongling Yuxiu.
Guan Fangyi had already figured out the place passed by on the route, and pointed to it and asked: "I said, Lord, that place is the Shang Qingzong?"
Niu You said "hmm".
The mountain was still the same mountain, and the water was still the same water. When the party galloped past, Guan Fangyi asked again: "Master Dao, don't you go back and have a look at it?"
Niu Youdao didn't say a word, didn't even look at it, and passed by like a gust of wind...
In Beizhou, several riders galloped along the official mountain road, Tang Yi and Su Po rode in front, followed by several disciples of the Shang Qingzong.
There are evil spirits in Beizhou, Shao Pingbo and his party ordered Shao Pingbo to get rid of the evil spirits and Anmin, and returned to return to their orders.
Today's Shang Qingzong can only do this kind of errands and miscellaneous things.
"Roar!" Deep in the mountain forest, there was an angry howl, and the startled people lost control of their mounts in a panic.
The people who quickly controlled their mounts turned their heads to look at the source of the beast's roar, and were in a state of surprise. The roar was not like that of an ordinary beast, it was a bit strange, and it seemed familiar.
"Golden Retriever Roar!" Su Po remembered.
"Uncle Master!" Tang Yi blurted out, almost in unison with Su Po.
In an instant, Tang Yi's face showed joy, and the man flew up from the horse's back and swept towards the forest.
Su Po immediately signaled the two disciples to guard the mount, and led the others to fly after him, and it was inconvenient for the master to run around alone.
However, Tang Yi didn't appreciate it. She stopped on the top of a tree, and stopped the crowd with her hand, "Elder Su, my uncle doesn't want to meet people from the Shang Qingzong, so I'll just go to see him alone."
This is also the reason, Su Po said in a deep voice: "Sect Leader, be careful, if there is anything abnormal, please warn the police immediately!"
Tang Yi nodded, and continued to fly towards the source of the sound, eager to see the owner of the Golden Retriever Roar.
Over the years, Shang Qingzong's plight has made her worry, but she has never been able to find a way out of the predicament. She never thought that she heard the voice of Jin Maohou here again. She was eager to ask the owner of Jin Maohou to see the old love of Shang Qingzong. Help me out.
There is another mountain stream, a lion-like beast with a body that looks like a lion but not a lion, with golden hair and glossy hair, is splashing and catching fish in the stream, and when he catches one, he stuffs it into his mouth and bites fiercely. On the cobblestone beach beside him lay a sloppy man with a one-armed pillow, holding a gourd of wine in one hand and pouring a mouthful from time to time.
Tang Yi fell from the sky, her skirt fluttering like a fairy, and landed on the pebble beach.
The golden retriever stopped for a moment, looked back, and then continued to play in the stream.
"Uncle!" Tang Yi cupped her hands in salute.
Zhao Xiongge, who was hiccupping, opened his blurred and drunken eyes, looked around, and seemed a little surprised, "You girl? Don't yell, I'm not your uncle. How did you come here?"
Tang Yi seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to stand and talk to the uncle, so Tang Yi sat down cross-legged, "I happened to be passing by here, and I heard the sound of the golden retriever roaring by accident, so I ran over to see that it was really the uncle."
Zhao Xiongge picked up a pebble and threw it out, then yelled at the golden retriever, "What are you shouting for?"
The Golden Retriever didn't turn his head back, he flicked the tail behind his buttocks, and with a crisp snap, he smashed the pebbles that hit him instantly.
This scene made Tang Yi stare sideways. She didn't expect that a random blow from Golden Retriever's tail would have such great power. No wonder it became the mount of the demon saint.
Zhao Xiongge sat up with the wine gourd in his arms, breathed out alcohol and said, "Why are you sitting here? I've seen it before, please go back, don't disturb my quietness."
Tang Yi clasped her fists together: "Uncle, the current Shangqingzong is suffering in a difficult situation, and the disciple is incompetent. Please, for the sake of the ancestor, please help the Shangqingzong."
Zhao Xiongge: "The matter of Shang Qingzong has nothing to do with me." Then he picked up the wine gourd and poured wine.
Tang Yi begged: "Uncle, if the Shang Qingzong survives any longer, it will really fall apart. Could it be that Uncle Master is so heartless and has the heart to watch Qingzong destroy the family?"
Zhao Xiongge said slowly: "Don't you think it's superfluous to tell an outsider to me? It's not like your Shang Qingzong has no capable people, so why ask for an outsider."
Tang Yi smiled wryly, "The talents of the Shang Qing sect are withered. Where can there be capable people? If there are capable people, how can they be down to the point where they are today, uncle..."
Zhao Xiongge interrupted: "That Niu Youdao is quite capable. I have even heard of some deeds in Yaomoling. With his method of overturning clouds and rain, he is just a mere Shang Qingzong. If he is willing to pull a hand, Shangqingzong will walk out. Difficulties shouldn’t be a problem. Sigh, Dong Guo Haoran still has a bit of foresight, and he has taken in a good apprentice! You girl, you have someone of your own who doesn’t need it, so what’s the point of nagging me? Am I the one who works like a horse?”
Speaking of this, Tang Yi's face was full of bitterness, "Master, you don't know that Niu Youdao has been kicked out of the teacher's school."
Zhao Xiongge seemed to be a little forgetful, "Is there such a thing?"
Tang Yi: "It's not that the disciple has never looked for him, but he vowed to draw a clear line with the Shang Qingzong. I am willing to surrender the position of head, but he still vows not to turn back."
"You are not young, but you have a good temper." Zhao Xiongge muttered to himself, then squinted and said: "I remember, you and him seem to be a couple who have worshiped before, right? The relationship between the same door is gone, and the relationship between husband and wife is not Are you still there? It’s only natural for a husband to help his wife. It’s not shameful for a wife to beg her husband. Can't outsiders?"
After saying that, he dodged and landed on Jin Maohou's back to ride.
"Roar!" Jin Maohou raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, and was about to turn around and leave.
Tang Yi immediately stood up and shouted, "Uncle, do you really have the heart to watch the Shang Qingzong perish?"
"Girl, remember, if I had the ability, I wouldn't have ended up like that back then. If a sect wants to stand up in the world of practice where grievances and interests are entangled, it is useless to fight and kill alone. Being strong can only protect a sect for a while, but if you want to lead a sect to a long-term future, you need people with real brains."
Zhao Xiongge, who was riding on Golden Retriever Roar's back, raised his head and took a sip of wine, hiccupped and said: "The facts of these years have proved that Niu Youdao does have that ability, and he can command it with confidence. I heard that Niu Youdao is on his way to the Song Kingdom, and the destination is Wanshou Gate. Girl, if you really want to revive the Shang Qingzong, go find him!"
As soon as the words fell, the Golden Retriever suddenly ran wildly after sitting down, splashing water all the way.
