Restrain my grief? Tang Yi didn't know why he said that. She and Niu Youdao were husband and wife in name only. They had already broken off their relationship. How could he restrain his grief?
But she had to admit that she was still a little sad after learning about Niu Youdao's death.
Recalling the past, the Shanghai Sect had wronged Niu Youdao. She had also wronged him. Strictly speaking, the head of the Shanghai Sect should be Niu Youdao. She had taken it by force and deception.
The person who was originally the leader of the Shang Qing Sect had died. The entire Shang Qing Sect couldn't help but sigh. Wei Duo, in particular, cried his heart out.
But she couldn't restrain her grief. She wanted to clear her name, but the other party insisted on this. Tang Yi couldn't argue with him. What she cared about was the so-called secret help. She tried to ask, "Did Niu Youdao really ask you to help me?"
She also wanted to know this question in private. Niu Youdao hadn't married. Did he really like her?
Chuan Ying smiled. "Otherwise, why would I come here? Why would I lie to you? "
That was true. Tang Yi nodded secretly. But she was still puzzled. "I've never heard that Niu Youdao had a relationship with you. How could you be a close friend of Niu Youdao?"
Chuan Ying said straightforwardly, "I didn't know Brother Niu before he entered the Saint State. I've heard of Brother Niu's name for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him … I used to be a member of the Heaven and Earth Sect of Jin State. Does Sect Leader Tang know about me? "
"No." Tang Yi thought and shook her head slightly.
Some things, including the investigation in the Saint State, hadn't been made public. Chuan Ying's current identity was not suitable for others to talk about it. It was normal that she didn't know about it.
Seeing that she didn't know, Chuan Ying asked again, "Does Sect Leader Tang know about the relationship between Linghu Qiu, the head of the Heaven and Earth Sect and Brother Niu?"
"Linghu Qiu?" Tang Yi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've heard of him. It's said that he and Niu Youdao are sworn brothers."
Chuan Ying said, "This is fate. Luo 'er and I are about to enter the Sage Land for our wedding. Sect Master Linghu is probably worried about Brother Niu's safety in the Sage Land, so he found me. He hopes that I can use my status to take care of Brother Niu once I enter the Sage Land. Worried that Brother Niu would misunderstand, Sect Master Linghu specially wrote me a letter and asked me to bring it to Brother Niu. Consider it as Sect Master Linghu's intention to introduce me to Brother Niu. "
"After I brought the letter into the Saint Realm, because I had just entered the Saint Realm, I didn't know anything about the situation inside, so I couldn't send the letter to Brother Niu in time. I didn't expect Brother Ox and Luo 'er to be old friends. It turns out that they met long ago in the Ice and Snow Pavilion and knew each other a long time ago. "
"On the day of my wedding with Luo 'er in the Ice and Snow Pavilion, there were no guests outside the Sage Land. The only one who came was Brother Niu. He came to congratulate Luo' er and personally drew a painting for Luo 'er as a gift. When I heard that he was coming, it was a coincidence. I immediately went to meet him and gave him Sect Master Linghu's letter. That was how we got to know each other. "
"Some people can't become good friends even if they know each other for a lifetime. But there are some people who can hit it off after just seeing each other. What is hitting it off? Brother Niu and I hit it off. We hit it off at first sight, and from then on, the two of us kept in contact in the Sage Land. "
"He came to the Ice and Snow Pavilion, and I went to the Heaven Seeking City where he lived. The two of us kept in contact, regretting that we didn't meet sooner. Gradually, we became best friends."
"I remember the last time we met, Luo 'er and I were leaving the Sage Land to return to the Ice and Snow Pavilion. The two of us went to the Heaven Seeking City together to visit him."
"When he heard that I was leaving the Sage Land, he said that he didn't know if he would have the chance to leave again. I told him that he was too pessimistic and that I would definitely find a way to help him leave. Because I was not familiar with the situation, I hoped that he would give me some time. At that time, he pulled me along and asked me to take care of you and the Shangqing Sect. "
"I didn't think too much at that time and agreed. Then, I left with Luo 'er and returned to the Heaven Seeking City."
"Alas, I really didn't expect that that would be the last time I said goodbye to Brother Niu. I only regretted that I wasn't in the Sage Land at that time. Otherwise, I would have tried my best to protect him. But it's useless to regret. After thinking about it, the only thing I can do is to fulfill the promise I made to Brother Niu, so that I won't let you down! "
When he finished speaking, his face was full of melancholy and regret.
So that's how it was. Tang Yi nodded silently. However, she had some doubts in her heart. She suspected that Niu Youdao was trying to curry favor with the other party in the Sage Land, but this person took it seriously.
No matter what the truth was, with the other party's status, there was no need for him to lie to her. She tried to ask, "How did Niu Youdao die? Who killed him?"
"This …" Chuan Ying was a little hesitant and said, "There are some things that I can't say. It's related to the matters in the Sage Land, and there's no evidence. It's not good for either of us to say too much. However, he was probably implicated by his identity as an inspector. It was said that he found some problems and offended someone he shouldn't have offended. That's why he was killed. Until now, we still don't know who the real murderer is. However, Brother Niu's death in the Sage Land is no small matter. Brother Niu's identity as an inspector is appointed by the Saint Venerate. No one below the Saint Venerate has the right to kill him. Someone actually dared to assassinate a Saint Venerate inspector. This incident alarmed nine Saint Venerates and they came to the Heaven Seeking City personally. Currently, they are still investigating it! Sect Leader Tang, I'm really sorry. That's all I can say. "
In just a few sentences, the information revealed had already made Tang Yi's heart jump. Niu Youdao offended someone he shouldn't have offended in the Sage Land and was killed?
After digesting the information, she nodded slightly and said, "I understand! Then why are you here? "
Chuan Ying asked, "Sect Leader Tang, don't you understand the current situation of the Shangqing Sect? You should know it better than me. The two countries are fighting. Thousands of soldiers and horses are killing each other. It's like a thunderbolt sweeping through everything! Swords and spears have no eyes. Arrows are like a storm. They don't care about the lives of the common people. Raging flames and flood waves are used without hesitation. Life and death are merciless! Weiguo is in trouble. If Sect Leader Tang continues to lead the Shangqing Sect to follow them, I'm afraid that they will be buried together with them! "
Tang Yi was silent for a while and sighed. "I can't help it!"
Chuan Ying said, "I understand! I didn't want to disturb you. However, I learned that the Shangqing Sect's situation is really worrying. Considering Brother Niu's request, I specially come to see you. "
Tang Yi asked tentatively, "Are you willing to help Weiguo?"
Chuan Ying shook her head. "Sect Leader Tang, you must be joking. There are some rules that everyone knows. Even the Ice and Snow Pavilion can't easily get involved, let alone me. I'm just here to persuade Sect Leader Tang. Of course, I'm not asking Sect Leader Tang to be ungrateful. I just hope that Sect Leader Tang can understand that when it's time to leave, you should leave. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the survival of the Shangqing Sect. You can't act impulsively! "
Tang Yi smiled bitterly. "This matter is complicated. It's not as simple as you think."
Chuan Ying said, "I'm not as ignorant as Sect Leader Tang thinks. I know a little about why you can't help it. I'm afraid that even if you want to lead the Shangqing Sect to escape, you can't do it. This matter concerns the morale of the army. The three major sects of Weiguo won't let the Shangqing Sect go easily. This is also the reason why I'm here! "
Tang Yi looked thoughtful. "You mean …"
Chuan Ying continued, "That's why I passed by and met Sect Leader Tang. That's why I said that Sect Leader Tang is my good friend in front of the heads of the three major sects of Weiguo! Now that I'm shameless, I have some status. The three major sects know that you're my good friend, so they won't dare to make things difficult for you. Otherwise, even if they lose the battle and escape, they will have to consider the consequences of me seeking revenge from them. Sect Leader Tang, once things get out of hand, you should escape as soon as possible! "
Tang Yi understood. She was a little happy and immediately cupped one hand in the other before her chest. "Thank you for your help, Teacher!"
Chuan Ying said, "Don't thank me. This is what I should do. If I don't even help you with this, I'll be betraying Brother Niu's trust and I won't be able to face Brother Niu's spirit in heaven. However, I hope that Sect Leader Tang won't blame me. I have no choice. I can't interfere in the war between the two countries openly or secretly. This is all I can do. I can only pass by! "
Tang Yi nodded. "I understand! Teacher's help is already a great kindness to our Shangqing Sect! "
Chuan Ying smiled and took out an ice jade token from her sleeve. It was exquisite and exquisite, and she handed it to Tang Yi. "This is the entry token of the Ice and Snow Pavilion. You can't use it carelessly. But if you encounter a danger that you can't resolve, you can take it out. It may be useful."
"In the future, if you encounter any trouble that you really need my help with, you can also bring this token to the Ice and Snow Pavilion to find me. If I'm not here, you can look for my wife. She will consider it carefully for my sake. With this token, the guards of the Ice and Snow Pavilion won't stop you. My wife and I also welcome you to visit the Ice and Snow Pavilion at any time. "
Tang Yi was delighted. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this token was a treasure. For the Shanghai Sect, it might be a life-saving thing at a critical moment. It would be a pity to miss it. Therefore, she didn't refuse and immediately took it with both hands. She sincerely thanked him again. "Thank you, Teacher. Tang Yi really doesn't know how to thank you."
Chuan Ying waved her hand. "Don't say thank you. You're treating me like an outsider. I dare not forget Brother Niu's trust. I'm just doing my best. Sect Leader Tang, this is all I have to say. This place is too eye-catching. It's not convenient for me to stay for long. I'll take my leave now! "After saying that, she shook her hand and the bell rang.
"Screech!" There was a sharp cry in the air.
Tang Yi looked up and saw a huge Red Hunter Eagle descending from the sky, flying close to the ground.
Chuan Ying jumped up and landed on the eagle's back. Then, it flew up in an arc.
"Take care, Teacher!" Tang Yi shouted and watched the flying shadow disappear into the distance.
Then, she stroked the token in her hand for a long time. She really didn't expect that the Shanghai Sect would receive help from Niu Youdao's last wish when they were in the most dangerous situation!
…
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Song Capital, Zi Pingxiu returned. The housekeeper welcomed him and reminded him, "Prime Minister, Teacher wants to see you. He said that you're back and invited you."
"Oh!" Zi Pingxiu knew that Jia Wuqun must have something to say. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the housekeeper to remind him. He didn't even change out of his official uniform and went straight to the depths of the Inner Residence.
When he arrived at the quiet courtyard, he saw Jia Wuqun pacing back and forth under a tree. He seemed to be thinking about something. Zi Pingxiu greeted him. "Teacher!"
Jia Wuqun turned around and cupped his hands in greeting. When he came closer, he extended his hand and invited Zi Pingxiu to take a seat. Then, he sat opposite Zi Pingxiu.
After taking a seat, Zi Pingxiu asked, "Teacher, what can I do for you?"
Jia Wuqun reached into his sleeve and took out a letter. He signaled Zi Pingxiu to read it first.
