Chapter 49: Shall I Marry Feng Ruonan?

After she left, Feng Lingbo, who was wandering in the room for a while, turned around and greeted, "Come here!"

A servant came in, he pointed to the secret letter placed on the desk, and said, "Send it to Niu Youdao!"

"Yes!" The servant took the secret letter and left.

Niu Youdao temporarily settled in the guest courtyard of the prefect's mansion, and was guarded by someone.

Under the lamp, Niu Youdao took the secret letter and read it several times, Wang Heng? He didn't know who Wang Heng was, nor had he heard of it, but judging from the content, he went to the capital to judge, except that he had offended the Song family and had no one else in the capital, so it was not difficult to guess who was going to harm him.

This is nothing. It is not surprising that the Song family had long expected revenge. What made him feel interesting was that Feng Lingbo showed this secret letter to himself. .

"I guess the Song family already knew about it. It seems that Tang Susu didn't fool the Song family. The old lady Tang probably shot herself in the foot!" Niu Youdao handed the secret letter to Yuan Gang who was beside him.

After reading it repeatedly, Yuan Gang asked, "Who is Wang Heng?"

Niu Youdao shook his head slightly: "I don't know, it must be related to the Song family. Someone who can communicate with Feng Lingbo in such a tone is probably not low in status. Just ask casually and you should be able to find out who it is."

Yuan Gang was silent for a while, and suddenly tried to ask, "If the Song family takes revenge on the Qingzong, will it implicate that Tang Yi?"

Niu Youdao drooped his eyelids slightly, "Is this important?"

Yuan Gang fell silent, stopped talking, handed the paper in his hand to the candle and burned it...

The night in the mountains is extremely bleak, the white flags on the bamboo poles are gently fluttering in the wind, there are bonfires next to the new graves, and Shang Shuqing is playing the piano on the ground, the sound of the piano is so sad that it makes people feel sad.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, and he is remembered with the sound of the piano.

Shang Chaozong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the shadows under the moonlight, his mind was full of thoughts, thinking back in the past, his family was so beautiful, and in a blink of an eye, he was in such a state of desperation, like a bereaved dog, he was in constant panic all day long, and those years in the dark prison were unforgettable. , sometimes even like a nightmare.

All the sudden changes and misfortunes have already gone by. He doesn't resent anyone, but he only blames himself for his incompetence. What's more, he is at a loss, and he is at a loss about the erratic future.

The younger sister who plays the piano in front of her is extremely intelligent, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, but forced by life to be strong and brave. She was originally a lady from a famous family, and often held books and calligraphy in her hands, but now she hangs a sword at her waist, and wanders with a group of men on horseback. She is not afraid of hardships, never complains, but often comforts and encourages her elder brother. Regardless of the evil spots on her face, no matter from which point of view, my sister should be a good woman that is hard to find in the world, but because of my incompetence as a brother, I can't afford to shoulder the burden and miss this life. I am ashamed of my parents. .

Then look at the guards who appeared in the surrounding woods to guard the surroundings for him. They are all veterans on the battlefield. Even if they can't see the future and the light, they still abandon their homes and follow him, and follow him in pursuit of the unknown future. He knew very well that this benefited from his father's legacy, but this made him feel even more uneasy, afraid of letting these people down, and not knowing where he could lead them, he could only keep telling himself, forward, forward!

But the future is bleak, and pretending to follow Niu Youdao's meaning here does not make him feel at ease. It is really Niu Youdao's specious behavior that makes him feel uncertain.

The night is long, looking at the night sky, every night, I look forward to the arrival of dawn...

One night passed, and the morning light was blooming. In the simple hut next to the grave, Shang Chaozong leaned on his clothes and dozed off. He was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the knife beside him. own people.

A personal guard folded his hands and reported: "My lord, there are a few people from the temple. They say they are from the prefect's mansion of Guangyi County, and they say they came here through the accommodation of the mage."

Niu Youdao invited here? Shang Chaozong was refreshed. Before, Niu Youdao asked this side to try to delay for a few days, but he didn't expect that there would be news after only one day.

Huo Ran stood up, but one leg was paralyzed due to being crossed for too long, and he couldn't stand still. He stamped his feet several times vigorously, dredged his meridians, and then strode out.

After a while, Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing led a group of people to the mountain quickly.

The reason why they all slept next to the graves at the foot of the mountain was also because they pretended to mourn the dead, and the words of following the cow were purely treating dead horses as living horse doctors.

Shounian led four people to wait outside the temple gate of Nanshan Temple. When he saw Shang Chaozong and others going up the mountain, he was still wondering what it meant to live in the forest if there was a house.

Because of her female status, Shang Shuqing often stayed in her boudoir in her early years, and she didn't know her birthday. Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting glanced at each other, but they knew each other in their birthdays. When King Ning was still alive, he commanded the troops of the Yan Kingdom, and every new year, Guangyi County would send people to give gifts, on behalf of Feng Lingbo. The one with the most frequent calls is the housekeeper of the Feng family, Shou Nian, who is the one in front of me.

The two were a little surprised that it was Feng Lingbo's butler who came in person.

Seeing the person coming, Shou Nian smiled, clasped his sword and cupped his hands and said, "This old slave has seen the prince and Mr. Lan. This must be the princess. This old slave is very polite."

Shang Shuqing returned a salute with her hands together, Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting clasped their fists together, and Lan Ruoting put down his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Shou, I haven't seen you for many years, but I still have the same demeanor."

The birthday is owed, and the smile is gentle: "Mr. Lan is over the award."

Lan Ruoting: "Brother Shou was invited by Niu Youdao?"

Shou Nian nodded: "I was ordered to protect the prince..." Speaking of this, he was a little confused, "Could it be that Niu Youdao was not sent by the prince to meet the eunuch?"

"Uh... Exactly, I wonder where Niu Youdao is now?" Lan Ruoting nodded with a smile, a little vague, but Niu Youdao's style of acting made people feel helpless, and he didn't explain everything clearly. Here, I don't know what Niu Youdao talked with Feng Lingbo, how they talked about it, and what the result of the talk was. I'm afraid that something wrong will happen.

It's really hard to believe that Feng Lingbo could lend troops to Shang Chaozong, but judging by Shou Nian's posture, it seems to have really happened, is it possible? Does Feng Lingbo really dare to intervene in this matter? What the hell is that Niu Youdao didn't come back, and he didn't even send anyone who knew the answer, so it was hard for them to ask.

"Niu Youdao rested temporarily in the prefect's mansion and waited for the lord. Your lord, this barren mountain and wild land may be dangerous, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Please go back to the county with the old slave. The people sent by the prefect are already on the way, and there must be some people on the way." We can meet." Shou Nian made a gesture of reaching out his hand.

It's very embarrassing here, I don't know whether to go or not to go, Lan Ruoting thought for a while, and was about to probe, when someone came running down the mountain, it was the personal guard sent by Niu Youdao to pass the message, Lan Ruoting and others Seeing the spirit lifted.

Here asked Shou Nian to wait for a while, and pulled the bodyguard who had returned in a hurry to the side, Lan Ruoting couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any news about the mage's return?"

The personal guard nodded repeatedly and said: "The mage said that the big event can be expected, and it is sure to be sure. Let the prince wait to go back with the people from Guangyi County. He himself is not convenient to come here for the time being. He is waiting for the prince in the county town!"

Ninety-five? The three of them were excited when they heard the words, did they really borrow soldiers? It's unbelievable, my God, I really don't know how Niu Youdao did it!

Shang Shuqing's bright eyes under the veil were brilliant, and Shang Chaozong clapped his fists excitedly, as if seeing a light in the dark.

Lan Ruoting was excited and concerned: "Master, is there any accident?"

The soldier said: "Master is well, the courtship is going well!"

"Uh..." Lan Ruoting was stunned and blinked, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Ask for marriage?" Shang Chaozong was suspicious, "What kind of marriage do you ask for?"

Shang Shuqing's expression under the veil was also stunned, did she mean to propose marriage?

"Isn't the prince going to marry the daughter of the prefect of Guangyi County?" The guard asked in a daze. He thought that what Niu Youdao did was arranged by the prince. Now seeing the reaction of the prince and others, why doesn't it feel like it?

Shang Chaozong pointed at himself and asked in disbelief: "Is this king marrying Feng Lingbo's daughter?"

The guard nodded a little dumbfounded, the look in his eyes seemed to be asking, isn't it?

Shang Chaozong asked again: "Master said so?"

Personal guard: "The mage has already done this, the bride price has been given to the Feng family, and he announced in public that the prince is going to marry Feng Lingbo's daughter."

Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting looked at each other, why did they feel that this matter was a bit messy?

Shang Chaozong confirmed again in disbelief: "I will marry Feng Lingbo's daughter? Which daughter of Feng Lingbo will I marry?"

The personal guard realized that the problem was serious, and said in amazement: "My lord, how many daughters does Feng Lingbo have? Of course...of course..." He remembered the situation when several people were guarding the bride price outside the prefect's mansion , Feng Ruonan rushed over in anger, and after seeing Feng Ruonan's appearance with their own eyes, they seemed to sigh at the prince.

"Feng Ruonan? Shall I marry Feng Ruonan?" Shang Chaozong's eyes widened. How did borrowing soldiers turn into marrying Feng Ruonan? Leng Leng said: "How is this possible? You said that the big event can be expected, and you are sure about it?"

"..." The guard was speechless, and slowly nodded, indicating yes.

Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting were also a little confused, marrying Feng Ruonan? Why does this matter feel more unreliable than borrowing soldiers from Feng Lingbo? How could Feng Lingbo marry his daughter, one of the chief generals of Guangyi County, to Shang Chaozong?

Lan Ruoting pointed at the guard and said, "What's going on specifically? Tell me all the details."

"When we arrived in Guangyi County, we stayed at an inn. The mage immediately ordered us to find out where Feng Lingbo and Feng Ruonan were..." The guard gave a detailed account of the situation in Guangyi County. How did Niu Youdao find out the news? Went to the military camp, got a box of gold coins out of the military camp, how did they purchase a lot of gifts, how did they send them to the prefect's mansion, how did Yuan Gang announce the good news in public, how did Yuan Gang and Niu Youdao enter the prefect's mansion? Outgoing messages and so on.

The three of them were completely speechless after hearing this. They were not borrowing soldiers. Judging from the rhythm of their arrival in the county, it was clear that they were going directly to propose marriage.

"Nonsense!" Shang Chaozong was angry, his face turned red and white.
