Black Peony said, "Daoye, with Linghu Qiu here, Great Zen Mountain might not dare to act recklessly."
Niu Youdao said with his back facing her, "Even if Linghu Qiu isn't here, Great Zen Mountain won't act recklessly. Putting aside the matter of me and Huang Lie in Ice Pavilion, Great Zen Mountain won't keep thinking about Shao Pingbo's personal grudge. Even if it's Heavenly Jade Sect, they won't do anything for Prince's personal grudge. As long as these sects don't touch their interests, they won't cause any trouble. Besides, as you said, with Linghu Qiu here, Great Zen Mountain will have to give him some face. "
Black Peony was startled again. She had always thought that Daoye's plan was to deal with Great Zen Mountain, but it wasn't Great Zen Mountain. She couldn't help but ask, "Then, Daoye, who is the guest you're waiting for?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's still the same thing. I'm worried that the mysterious force will help him. Even Great Zen Mountain won't dare to act recklessly. The possibility of Shao Pingbo using other small forces is even lower because the possibility of success isn't high. He suffered at my hands before, and he won't easily do something he isn't confident in. "
"So, as long as there's a guest, it's very likely that it's that mysterious force. If that mysterious force will really help him in this matter, there's no need to even mention the warhorse. That mysterious force will probably participate … No, it's not 'probably', it's definitely! The warhorse is very important to Shao Pingbo, and the price of failure is too high! "
As he spoke, he sneered, "If I can't figure out who the people around Shao Pingbo are, the enemy will be in the dark while I'm in the light. I will be very passive! If the other party doesn't make a move and doesn't even know who the enemy is, I won't be able to make a move. As long as the other party makes a move, there will definitely be traces left. I want to see who exactly this mysterious force is! "
Black Peony said, "Linghu Qiu's connections might make the other party wary."
Niu Youdao shook his head with his back facing her. "Linghu Qiu shouldn't be enough to make the mysterious force wary!"
Black Peony was baffled. "How do you know?"
Niu Youdao didn't reply. He knew that Linghu Qiu's reputation wasn't enough to make him invincible. He might have some influence on the Great Zen Mountain, but to a force that could easily use three flying mounts, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had a place in the Misty Pavilion. They wouldn't take a broker like Linghu Qiu seriously, let alone fear him.
Seeing that Daoye was not going to tell her the reason, as someone close to him, Black Peony had the duty to provide him with some advice. She reminded him, "Daoye, don't forget. You know how important the warhorse is to Shao Pingbo. Right now, the warhorse is the most important matter. Perhaps Shao Pingbo's main focus is on the warhorse. He won't be distracted to deal with you for now."
Niu Youdao turned around and sighed. "It's inevitable that he wants to get rid of me. I haven't shown myself for more than a year, and he hasn't been able to find a chance to make a move. It's not easy for me to come out. Once I go into hiding again, I don't know how long he'll have to wait to make a move. Can he ignore it?"
"I can pay attention to the Northern Prefecture, but it's impossible that he doesn't pay attention to Qingshan County. I don't believe that he doesn't have eyes and ears in Qingshan County. I've purposely walked around the city. I don't believe that he doesn't know that I've come out of hiding."
"The reason why I wasn't in a hurry along the way and waited for the guests was because I wanted to find out who the mysterious force is. If we don't have the slightest bit of confidence, our mission in the Qi Kingdom will be fraught with difficulties. If there's a mysterious force hiding behind us that could make a move on you at any time, things will be even more troublesome … "
His last sigh was endless.
Black Peony could sense the deep worry beneath his calm exterior. After listening to his words, she somewhat understood the painstaking effort he had put into setting up this plan. She also understood that Daoye's task of obtaining the warhorses was even more difficult and dangerous than that of the Heavenly Jade Sect. She couldn't help but feel worried.
"Tidy up." Niu Youdao took out the secret letter from his back and handed it to her. At the same time, he pointed at the map.
Black Peony immediately destroyed the secret letter and cleaned up the markings on the map and the waterways.
"Howl … Howl … Howl …"
At this moment, three howls reverberated outside. The sound wasn't too loud, but it was very penetrating. It was as if it could pierce through the nine heavens.
The two of them looked at each other and quickly dashed to the window to look outside.
Moonlight poured down like mercury, illuminating the entire Boundless Pavilion, causing the lake water to sparkle. When they looked towards the source of the sound, they could vaguely see three pillars rising from the surface of the water. Two were large and one was small, and they were rippling on the surface of the water.
The two large figures were as thick as two vigorous old trees. The small figure was obviously half the size of the big one.
It was obvious that it was covered in scales. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it was as if it was covered in a hazy halo.
The slight movement indicated that it was facing the sky and roaring at the moon. Flood Dragon Howling at the Moon!
Unfortunately, they were in the middle of the lake and were a little far away. Moreover, it was night time. In addition, the moonlight refracted on the surface of the water, so it was impossible to see the appearance clearly.
Niu Youdao waved his hand and was about to use his Qi to command the Moon Butterfly to fly over to illuminate the area and get a clear look.
Who would have thought that someone was already impatient. On a stone bridge, someone had already commanded the Moon Butterfly to fly over quickly.
However, just as the Moon Butterfly was about to get close, there was a loud splash. A large tail swung out from the water. Although the tail was large, it was extremely fast. In a flash, the Moon Butterfly was swatted away.
"Haha …" A burst of mocking laughter could be heard from outside.
Niu Youdao was stunned. He had no choice but to restrain his Moon Butterfly.
"Howl … Howl … Howl …"
Another three dragon roars came from the surface of the lake. They continued for a long time, attracting everyone's attention.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three Flood Dragons slowly sank out of the water and finally disappeared in the rippling water.
Linghu Qiu, who was also standing in front of the window and watching, laughed. When he looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, there was a knock on the door.
Hong Xiu went to open the door. A stout man appeared outside the door and asked, "Is Mr. Linghu here?"
Hong Xiu was puzzled and asked, "You are?"
The stout man was neither servile nor overbearing. He said, "Waiter of the Equipment Cloud Sect. Our shopkeeper Fan and Mr. Linghu are old acquaintances. He heard that Mr. Linghu is here, so he sent me to greet you."
"Wait a minute!" Hong Xiu said politely. She did not dare to neglect the people of the Equipment Cloud Sect. She quickly turned back and reported to Linghu Qiu.
Linghu Qiu was not worried about anything. He was not afraid that someone would make trouble here. He quickly said, "Please come in."
The stout man was quickly invited in, "Waiter of the Equipment Cloud Sect, Li Zhen, greets Mr. Linghu."
"Li Zhen?" Linghu Qiu looked him up and down. He said, "You look a little unfamiliar. I don't seem to have seen you in the shop of the Equipment Cloud Sect before."
The stout man, Li Zhen, smiled and said, "I have been here for many years, but I have never seen you come here."
"Maybe you just haven't seen me." Linghu Qiu laughed. In fact, he had not been here for several years. What he said just now was just a test. If he said he had not seen him and the other party replied that he was new, then there might be a problem. He asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Fan, what can I do for you?"
Li Zhen said, "The shopkeeper asks Mr. Linghu to go to the shop. He has something important to discuss with you."
Linghu Qiu hesitated and asked, "What is it?"
Li Zhen shook his head. "I really don't know. The shopkeeper doesn't say anything, and it is not appropriate for me to ask. You will know when you go there."
Linghu Qiu nodded. The leader of the Equipment Cloud Sect was someone who had a place in the Misty Pavilion. It was not appropriate for him to reject an invitation from the Equipment Cloud Sect.
However, he was also worried about Niu Youdao. If he was not there, someone would do something stupid. But then he thought about it. No matter how daring someone was, he would not dare to do anything stupid here. He replied, "Brother Li, go back first. I will go there immediately after I pack up."
Li Zhen frowned and said, "Then please hurry up, Mr. Linghu. Don't let the shopkeeper wait for too long."
"Of course." Linghu Qiu promised.
Li Zhen cupped his hands and left.
After he left, Linghu Qiu went out almost immediately. He said that he was going to pack up, but it was not true. He was worried about Niu Youdao.
He led Hong Xiu and Hong Fu to Niu Youdao's place, knocked on the door and entered.
The two sworn brothers were already very familiar with each other. There was no need for pleasantries. Niu Youdao asked directly, "Brother, what is it?"
Linghu Qiu nodded and said, "There is something. An old friend here wants to meet me. I have to go."
Niu Youdao was immediately interested. "Are you going to introduce me to him?"
Linghu Qiu waved his hand and smiled bitterly. "It is not convenient for me to bring anyone out because of his background. I came to ask you, do you have something to do?"
Niu Youdao was taken aback. "What could I be doing? At this hour, I naturally have to rest. Why would I go out? Even if I want to go out, I will do it tomorrow. "
Linghu Qiu nodded. "That is good. I heard that you have a lot of enemies. I am really worried about your cultivation. When I am not by your side, it is better for you to not run around."
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "I have troubled you. Brother, don't worry. I will not run around. Just go and meet your friends."
"Good!" Linghu Qiu nodded. As long as he was at the Sky Lake Inn, there should be nothing wrong. He left with a peace of mind.
In a dark pavilion near the Sky Lake Inn, a tall and thin man stood by the window with his hands behind his back. He stared at the exit of the Sky Lake Inn.
The door opened and a stout man entered. It was Li Zhen who went to see Linghu Qiu. He walked to the tall and thin man and said in a low voice, "He agreed."
The tall and thin man said indifferently, "How did he react? He did not suspect anything, did he?"
Li Zhen said, "His reaction was normal. He should not be suspicious. In the Boundless Pavilion, there is no need to worry about anything happening. What can happen to the shopkeeper of the Equipment Cloud Sect? There is no reason to suspect anything! "
The tall and thin man asked again, "When you informed him, he was not with the target, right?"
"No! I went into the room to check. The target was not there. "Li Zhen said and suddenly lowered his voice." He came out. "
The tall and thin man's eyes flashed. He stared at Linghu Qiu, Hong Xiu, and Hong Fu who were walking out of the Sky Lake Inn. He raised his hand and made a gesture.
Li Zhen immediately pulled out the small metal box that looked like a jade pendant hanging on her waist and summoned the Moon Butterfly that was resting inside.
The moon butterfly danced gracefully, illuminating the pitch-black room.
The two of them moved away from the window.
