Lady Mei said, "Could it be that they are going against the heavenly decree just because they are going after Niu Youde?"
Guang Ling Duke chuckled and shook his head, "Then, Princess, can you tell me if I have ever done anything that goes against the Heavenly Decree? Some things could be done, but they could not be broken. Joining the Phantom City was tantamount to betraying the Fourth Army. They didn't dare to return to the Fourth Army's camp for fear of being punished. They also didn't dare to go to Sky Street because Sky Street was under the control of Heaven's Palace in name, but in reality, it was deeply influenced by the Fourth Army. So to some extent, once these people gathered together, they formed a small interest group with Niu Youde as the leader. Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that he was taken in by the guards. However, Qing Zhu was a person who cared about his face. Niu Youde had just given him the position of four Marquis. If he immediately pulled the rug out from under him, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the world? Therefore, he wouldn't touch Niu Youde for a certain period of time. Moreover, no matter how strong this group of people was, they would at most be on the same level as Qing Zhu. And as time passed, with Niu Youde leading the army for so many years, how could he not have the slightest bit of control? Of course, if Lord Qing wants to reorganize this army, they won't be able to handle it. After all, their strength is still too weak. If they dare to defy his orders, Lord Qing can annihilate them at any time. "
Mei Niang listened in a daze. She seemed to have heard some answers, but at the same time, she didn't seem to have heard any answers.
However, Guang Ling Gong suddenly changed the topic, "Wangfei feels that Mei 'er and Niu Youde are a good match?"
Mei Niang came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "How is that possible? Mei 'er can't be a concubine. Besides, Niu Youde won't divorce Yun Zhiqiu and marry Mei' er. "
Lord Guangling chuckled, "I'm just joking with you. I still have something to do. If there's nothing else, you can leave first."
Mei Niang rolled her eyes, half-squatted and saluted, "I'll take my leave."
Gou Yue cupped his hands and sent him off.
Mei Niang, on the other hand, was in a melancholy mood as she walked out of the door. The phrase "the world's number one army" was still echoing in her heart. She found that Niu Youde, whom she had always been optimistic about, did not disappoint her. The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she felt.
After they disappeared, Lord Guang Ling asked, "Do you think there's still a chance for Mei 'er and Niu Youde?"
"This …" Gou Yue pondered for a moment, then replied softly, "Based on Miss's looks, I can't afford to offend her. I don't think any man wouldn't be moved. "
The Duke of Guang Ling turned around. "Are you saying that there's still a possibility?"
"Difficult …" Gou Yue shook his head, but his expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Guang Ling Duke: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
Gou Yue asked, "Your Highness still wants to recruit Niu Youde?"
"If I don't recruit such a talented person, I'll be in trouble. Then this Prince is incompetent. But if we really want to recruit them now, it's not realistic. The Kou family's mistake is right in front of us. "The Duke of Guang Ling narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. The expression on his face was unpredictable.
Gou Yue understood him too well. Combining his previous words with his current reaction, Gou Yue could tell that Gou Yue was right. He could vaguely guess his thoughts, but there were some things that as a father, it was not appropriate for him to say. He then said, "This old servant has a plan. The income is not as good as the heart. If the heart is on Wangye's side, once the opportunity comes, it is a matter of course for Niu Youde to serve Wangye. But if he is forcibly held in our hands, it is also false that his heart is not on our side."
Duke Guang uttered an 'oh', "What's the plan? Tell me about it."
Gou Yue's voice became softer. "It's still the same thing. With Young Miss's beauty, no man would not be moved. Forcing her to be with Niu Youde might not be a good thing. As the saying goes, a melon that is forcefully twisted is not sweet. The intention of using him is too obvious. Niu Youde is not a fool. This will only backfire and cause him to be on guard. Since we can't be husband and wife, why not be friends first. After a long time, with Young Miss's beauty, it is easy to develop feelings for Niu Youde. It was very easy to develop feelings for Niu Youde over time. If something happened between the two of them, Wang Ye could pretend to be ignorant and act as if he did not know. Young Miss was the Prince's biological daughter, just based on this point. If he has an affair with Young Miss, his heart will be biased towards Wangye. Wangye, some things are better left unsaid. Pretending to be ignorant may be easier to buy people's hearts than to be a high official. Once the time is right, everything will fall into place. "
Guang Ling Duke muttered, "But isn't this a little too unfair to Mei 'er?"
Gou Yue finally understood why she was still dragging her feet at this point. He had to be the bad guy. He advised, "Every day may not be better than a broken lotus root. Perhaps it is unfair to Young Miss, but Young Miss's sacrifice is for the entire Kou family. If the Kou family is good, Young Miss will be better. Moreover, as long as Niu Youde's heart can be with Young Miss, there may be a chance for Young Miss to succeed in the future. And to a certain extent, Young Miss's relationship with him cannot be seen in the light of day. If Niu Youde and Yun Zhiqiu are together, perhaps he will be able to capture Niu Youde's heart. "
Duke Guang Ling looked hesitant, as if it was difficult for him to make a decision. Finally, he slowly nodded and said, "Don't let Madam know about this."
"Yes!" Gou Yue cupped his hands in acknowledgment, knowing that he had agreed.
In a small pavilion in the Tianmao residence, Pang Guan and Housekeeper Chen Huaijiu looked at each other for a while. Finally, they sighed. "What a good general. If only he could be of use to me."
Chen Huaijiu said, "He is too eye-catching. I'm afraid that the higher-ups have already set their eyes on him. It is not appropriate for Master to recruit him. Isn't Master already on good terms with him in secret? Moreover, Master has a handle on him. As long as they maintain a good relationship, who knows what will happen in the future? It may not be impossible for him to serve Master. Moreover, Master doesn't necessarily need him to fight at the frontlines. It would also be good if he could help Old Grandpa with ideas. "
Pang Guan nodded thoughtfully.
"You can't even comb your hair properly. Get out."
Huangfu Duanrong, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, suddenly lost her temper. The two maids were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
Wu Ning, who walked in, turned back to look at the two frightened maids in shock. He then walked to the dressing table and stood behind Huangfu Duanrong, scrutinizing her hair.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it? "Huangfu Duanrong stared at him in the mirror.
Wu Ning didn't mind. Instead, he laughed and said, "Isn't it well combed?"
Huangfu Duanrong said, "What do you men know?"
Wu Ning shook his head with a smile. He helped her untie her hair and took a comb to comb her hair again, "I see that your mood has been a bit off these past two days. If there's anything, you might as well say it and let me help you solve your worries."
Huangfu Duanrong glared and said, "Solve my worries? I'm annoyed when I see you. Idling around all day. "
Wu Ning's hands didn't stop. His combing movements were abnormally skilled. He laughed and said, "Alright!? Y? Y is coming back soon. As a mother, are you going to let your daughter look at your face as soon as she comes back? It's not easy to see her. Calm down for your daughter's sake. "
Huangfu Duanrong mercilessly retorted, "You father and daughter are all troublesome. I'm annoyed when I see you."
Wu Ning continued to laugh and shook his head. He didn't say anything. Whatever he said was wrong anyway.
After a moment of silence, Huangfu Duanrong suddenly took the initiative to ask, "Recently, there has been a lot of commotion about the recruitment of the Ghost City's headquarter! What do you think? "
Wu Ning's hands paused for a moment, then continued combing. However, he sighed with emotion, "This Niu Youde is not simple. Someone wants to suppress him in the Ghost City, but I'm afraid he won't be able to. He's a rare character."
Huangfu Duanrong stared at his reflection in the mirror and asked, "So, he really has a chance to become a duke?"
Wu Ning sighed, "If there are no accidents, the position of the Netherworld's Governor will not be able to escape. Let's wait and see."
Huangfu Duanrong sneered, "What's wrong with the court officials? How could they let such a shameless person take advantage of them?"
Wu Ning laughed, "You! Aren't you just looking at him and Y? Y? Did Y cross the line? How long ago was that? Why are you still brooding over it? Moreover, he wasn't just taking advantage of the situation. He was truly capable. As a general, how could he not have a plan? As a general, there's nothing too deceitful in war! Besides, can you or I come up with such an opportunistic plan? It's really a series of traps, with backups everywhere. It's not easy. This Niu Youde has such ability. His achievements might not be limited to just this! "
His words made Huangfu Duanrong's heart flutter. She raised her hand and slapped his hand away, then said impatiently, "Get lost, get lost. Look at how clumsy you are."
"..." Wu Ning was speechless. He smiled bitterly and raked the comb into her hair. He swung his sleeves and swaggered out. But when he walked out of the door, he suddenly stuck his head back and said, "Madam, I made some delicious food to entertain my daughter. Quickly comb your hair and help me."
"Get lost!" Huangfu Duanrong grabbed the powder box and threw it at him. Wu Ning shrunk his head and ran away, leaving behind the sound of the powder box hitting the door.
Pure white snow covered the mountaintop. At the foot of the snow-capped mountain was a verdant green mountain. Ice and snow melted into a river and surged ceaselessly. A man in yellow was sitting on a rock beside a calm lake, twirling his beard as he fished. His eyes were fixed on the float on the surface of the water. He seemed to be a bit absent-minded. The float was bobbing up and down, but he didn't react when a fish took the bait.
A man in black cut through the air and swept his gaze along the riverside. The Sixth Grade Lotus between his eyebrows shone brightly. He locked his gaze on the yellow-clothed man and landed beside him.
When the yellow-clothed man saw him, he immediately stood up and asked, "You're back so soon? Did you go and check out the situation? "
"It's not that I'm fast. I just happened to get a batch of things to sell in the Ghost City. I just happened to be there." The man in black tossed the jade archive over and calmly said, "The inscription outside the Ghost City's main government office is here. Not a single word was missed!"
The yellow-clothed man took it and examined it. After reading it, he raised his head and stared at the other party with a burning gaze. He asked word by word, "How is it? Are you going or not? "
The man in black remained calm and said, "You better think it through. Once you go to the Ghost City's main government office, it means that you're betraying this side. You'll become enemies with this side."
The yellow-clothed man said, "How many enemies does Niu Youde have with this side? At least we don't have to worry about him making peace with this side and selling us out. "
The man in black said, "Niu Youde wants to recruit a hundred thousand people. You and I might not be the best. Plus, our ranks are too low. We might not get a good position if we go. He might not accept us either."
"With that kind of ability, I don't think his achievements will stop here. If you go now, no matter what your current position is, at least you'll have a chance in the future. Are you really willing to be a mountain god here for the rest of your life?" The yellow-clothed man swung his fishing rod and pointed at the snow-covered summit. There was anger on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "Besides, even if he's not willing to accept us, we can still quietly return. I don't believe that he'll divulge our identities and sell us out. I've made up my mind! "He casually threw the fishing rod in his hand into the water, expressing his determination.
