Shang Shuqing shook her head and pushed it back. "I don't want to eat, you eat." She was very agitated and conflicted. Worried that she had made a mistake, she confirmed again, "Silver, did the matchmaker also tell you not to mention that you had seen Daoye, or else she wouldn't give you a drumstick?"
Silver nodded again, indignant. "Bad guy!"
Indignant as indignant, the tears in Shang Shuqing's eyes couldn't be hidden from her. She handed the drumstick in her hand to Shang Shuqing again. "Qingqing."
Shang Shuqing smiled tearfully and pushed it back again. She pointed to the basket, indicating that there was more.
Alright, Silver took it back and continued to eat her own.
Shang Shuqing turned around and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Her hands wandered back and forth, her fingers tangled. She walked to the window and pushed it open. She looked out at the darkening night sky and gradually calmed down. Her bright eyes revealed complicated thoughts.
Although she had accepted the reality that Daoye was dead, she was still unwilling to believe it. So what if Silver's words were true?
The key was that she didn't know how to face it.
If he was really alive, then it meant that Daoye had been hiding some truth. She also knew that Daoye must have done something important.
What kind of place was the Saint Realm? Faking his death in the Saint Realm must have great implications. It was like a thunderclap and involved many people. It wasn't something she could bear.
She was a self-aware person. Since it was something she didn't need to know, she couldn't help, couldn't do anything, and was useless, she naturally didn't have the qualifications to say anything. Daoye also didn't need to explain anything to her.
But he might still be alive. Her heart was hot, excited, and nervous.
She still wasn't sure about Silver's words. But Silver couldn't communicate normally. She asked again and again, but it was all she said.
However, she knew how to think and judge. After the death of the Taoist Grandpa, the cottage was expelled by the Purple Golden Cave. The shocking change that she thought was going to happen passed smoothly under the faint thunder. The entire Nanzhou was stable. Just when everyone was in a state of panic and anxiety, her brother and the others had actually quickly taken care of Purple Gold Cave, stabilized the cultivation forces within the South State, and stabilized the forces around the South State.
Some things that had once puzzled her now seemed to have found the answer. The best answer was that the person who had stabilized the situation in Nanzhou was still here.
In other words, if that person was still alive, her brother should know about it!
Unknowingly, Shang Shuqing did not know how long she had been standing in front of the window. A pair of greasy hands stretched out beside her and Silver's voice sounded, "Qing Qing."
Shang Shuqing came back to his senses and walked to the basket to take a look. He found that the basket of chicken drumsticks had already been eaten by Silver.
Then he pulled Yin 'er outside, ordered someone to fetch some water, and personally helped Yin' er wash her hands.
While wiping Yin 'er's hands, Shang Shuqing couldn't resist his desire to find out the truth and asked, "Yin' er, can you still recognize Daoye?"
Yin 'er nodded, then shook her head, "Don't mention Daoye." After eating the drumsticks, she began to keep her promise.
Shang Shuqing didn't say anything more. He took Yin 'er's hand and went straight to Thatched Cottage next to the Prince's Mansion. But on the way, they repeatedly stopped …
The Prince's Mansion could barely be considered brightly lit. The servants had their own work, the guards had their own work, and the master could hardly rest.
In the Valiant Martial Hall, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming paid attention to the progress of the war day and night. The war situation of Jin State and Qi State was only a secondary concern. Their main focus was the war against Qin State.
In this war against Qin State, Yan and Han State had joined hands. The South State wasn't the only one attacking Qin State, and the Yan State wouldn't allow the South State to monopolize it. The South State didn't have the power to monopolize it. If the South State's forces were spread out to control all of Qin State's territories, it might not be a good thing for the South State.
However, the South State still sent their troops. This was a war with absolute power. Neither Shang Chaozong nor Meng Shanming personally participated. If they had to participate in such a war, it would be tantamount to saying that the South State didn't have a successor.
Meng Shanming had been trying to solve the problem of having successors all these years. He had been working hard to cultivate the generals of the South State.
This time, the South State sent a force, divided into two groups, led by Meng Shanming's two students, Luo Daan and Lu Zheng.
Although victory was in their grasp, they still didn't dare to be careless. They had been closely monitoring the movements of the South State's forces.
The mobilization of the army required the cooperation of the South State, and the internal affairs were taken care of by Lan Ruoting. Luo Daan's younger brother, Luo Xiaoan, followed Lan Ruoting and was also very busy. Lan Ruoting kept putting burdens on him …
After leaving the Wang Mansion, Shang Shuqing entered the thatched cottage courtyard. She didn't encounter any obstruction when she came in and out. However, the closer she got to the destination, the more nervous she became. She didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong. She even seriously doubted her own behavior.
However, her strong desire to know the truth made her bite the bullet and come.
Her arrival immediately alarmed Guan Fangyi. Guan Fangyi showed up and wanted to take the two to her courtyard.
Shang Shuqing shook her head. She didn't know what to say. In the end, she said with a trembling voice, "Sister Hong, I want to see Mr. Wang Xiao. Can I?"
Guan Fangyi was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Silver who was holding her hand. The latter didn't know what they were talking about. She just looked around …
Inside the secret chamber, Niu Youdao and Lv Wushuang sat facing each other. It was a rare scene. They drank tea and chatted.
"In the general trend of the world, the waves behind drive on the waves before. It is common sense that there is no end to the changes. The defeat of the Nine Sages is only a matter of time. On the surface, their enemies are themselves, but their true enemies are the entire world. The higher you stand, the more enemies you will have. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times! "
"It seems that no one dares to jump out and fight against you, but this is the most dangerous thing. You have countless enemies, and these enemies are not in the open, but in the dark."
"You seem to hold great power and are high above everyone else, but you can't avoid standing in the open. Countless enemies are in the dark, and you can't kill them all. So, from the beginning, you were destined to fall. This is only a matter of time. Sooner or later, someone will jump out and replace you. "
Niu Youdao chattered on, hoping that Lv Wushuang would listen to his reasoning.
Lv Wushuang had revealed a lot of flaws. If the Six Sages were to eliminate all of them very soon, it was a matter of great importance. Niu Youdao really couldn't ignore it.
He hoped that he could persuade Lv Wushuang to cooperate and say what needed to be said.
Once he returned, he sent a message to Sha Rulai, asking her to pay attention to when the Six Sages would return to the Saint Realm. He also asked the relevant spies to pay close attention to the news. He wanted to see if what Lv Wushuang said would really happen, that the Six Sages would abandon the Saint Realm and personally come to the human world to deal with them.
However, no matter what Niu Youdao said, Lv Wushuang only listened with a faint smile, slowly sipping his tea, and didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.
In the end, even Niu Youdao felt that what he said was meaningless. Finally, he asked, "If you have any concerns, you can tell me. We can discuss and solve them."
Lv Wushuang put down the teacup and smiled. "You went back on your words. I helped you settle the matter previously, but you wanted to kill me. If I didn't use my words to cover your weakness, I don't know what would have happened to me. What's the point of saying so much now? Do you think I will still believe you? If you really have sincerity, we can all become one family, and we can all be at ease. Isn't that good? "
Niu Youdao said, "You clearly know that he doesn't like you, but you still want to marry him. Don't you feel sullen marrying such an uncouth old man?"
Lv Wushuang said, "To someone like me, what is sullen? Old Granny Xue was besieged in the Immeasurable Garden, wasn't she sullen? Lan Daolin was besieged in the Boundless Pavilion, wasn't he sullen? Fatty Yuan had one of his eyes gouged out, wasn't he sullen? I've experienced countless sullenness, and I can eat it long ago. "
"There's no sullenness. When something happens, I can only face it. If I couldn't swallow it and acted recklessly, I wouldn't have lived until today."
"Actually, I don't understand what you guys are thinking. I don't think I'm bad looking. In terms of status and identity, which woman in the world can compare to me? How am I not worthy of him? What is there for you guys to be so unreasonable about? I've fallen to this state, and there's already no other way out. I need to find a way out. You guys also need my help. Even from the perspective of a marriage alliance, it's beneficial to both of us. I don't think there's a need for you guys to refuse. "
Niu Youdao said, "Everyone's life is different, and their personalities are different as well. If he agrees, it will be trampling on his bottom line as a person, and he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. You more or less know about Officer Feng's matter, and what are the consequences? If something happens to him, he will pay with his life! Isn't it precisely because of his value that you can rely on to protect your life that you are determined to marry him? Do you dare to marry someone like me? "
"Speaking of Officer Feng, you should know his relationship with Officer Feng. If he marries you, what will happen to Officer Feng?"
Lv Wushuang said lightly, "That woman isn't worthy of him. Don't misunderstand, I don't have any intention of belittling Officer Feng. High or low doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just stating the facts. For someone like Yuan Gang to marry her? Why would he marry her? What can she do? Warm the bed? Tender like water? Or say some intimate words to make a man happy? Don't you think it's ridiculous? "
"Taking a step back, I have everything she has. Whatever she can do, I can do it too. Even if it's an act, I can do it better than her. On the other hand, compared to me, she can't. Compared to me, she's trash. At best, she's just a vase. If you look at her for too long, you'll get tired of her. It's not an exaggeration to say that she's a burden. "
"Niu Youdao, if you really treat Yuan Gang as a brother, then you should consider it rationally. Yuan Gang is a person with a huge flaw, and he doesn't fit in with this world. Marrying Officer Feng will only harm him. But I'm different. If I become his wife, I'll be someone who can help him. At least, I can let him live longer. "She raised her hand and pointed at her head.
"Niu Youdao, you're a smart person. Think about it honestly. Don't people like Yuan Gang need a woman like me to be his wife? In other words, people like you can consider the feelings of love between men and women, but people like him don't have the qualifications to consider those empty things. What he needs is help, someone who can control him. I believe that without your help, he wouldn't be able to live until now. "
Yun Ji, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but look at Niu Youdao's reaction. She didn't know who was trying to convince who.
Niu Youdao was silent as he slowly sipped his tea.
