Niu Youdao asked, "So you sold me out?"
Linghu Qiu cried out, "How can I say that I sold you out? I don't know what you discussed with Bu Xun and the others, but you're afraid that you'll get it wrong even if you try to fool them. You know what's going on, and you know how to fool them without making a mistake. Forget it. Is there a need for us brothers to be angry over this? "
He waved his hand, indicating that this matter was over and that no one should pursue it. "By the way, Wei Chu didn't look too good when he left. He didn't seem to believe what you said just now. Was what you said to him to fool him or was it true?"
"It's true." Niu Youdao looked up at the sky, still angry.
Linghu Qiu also looked up but didn't see anything. He asked again, "Why do I feel like you're trying to fool me? Is there a need for Bu Xun and the princess to take turns?" He had the same doubts as Wei Chu.
Niu Youdao sighed inwardly. Sure enough, they didn't believe him. He said, "Do you think I can say whatever a random person wants me to say? Are you stupid or am I? Second brother, you have a lot of connections. Find out more about this Wei Chu. "
He was really fooling him! Linghu Qiu sighed. "I will find out more about Wei Chu. Brother, what did you talk about with Bu Xun and the others? Why are you so secretive? Let me tell you, don't get involved in the fight for the crown prince's position. It doesn't just involve the imperial power of the secular world, it also involves the interests of many cultivators. You can't afford to provoke this trouble. You know about the Shanghai Sect. After King Ning lost the throne, you saw what happened to the Shanghai Sect. "
Niu Youdao looked back and said earnestly, "Second brother, it's for your own good that I'm not telling you. You'll find out in the future."
Fine! Linghu Qiu didn't bother to ask anymore. He knew his brother's character, so he changed the topic. "I heard from Hongxiu that you were asking about a matchmaker? How did you know I went to see a matchmaker? "
Niu Youdao was stunned. "You went to see a matchmaker?"
Linghu Qiu was surprised. "You don't know?"
Niu Youdao: "You didn't tell me, how would I know? Why do you want to meet her?"
Linghu Qiu chuckled and said in a self-deprecating manner, "What do you mean 'I went to see her'? It was she who came to see me and lured me to her Fufang Garden. It was only after I went there that I realized she was trying to build a bridge for Wei Chu. I was also cheated by her. But I can understand her situation. Jin Wangfu came to find her, and she had no choice. "
Niu Youdao: "So, you know this matchmaker?"
Linghu Qiu: "She's an old acquaintance. Why are you paying attention to her?"
Niu Youdao: "I paid attention to Qi Jing's situation. This woman seems a little interesting. I'm quite interested in her. However, I don't have much information about her. Since you know her, why don't you tell me about her? "
Linghu Qiu shook his head and said, "You may know a person's face but not his heart. I don't know much about him either. I only know a little about him on the surface. I've never had a deep relationship with him."
Niu Youdao: "Then tell me what you know."
"The matchmaker's real name is Guan Fangyi. How should I describe this woman? When she was young, the relationships between men and women were a little messy. But when she was young, she was very beautiful. She didn't have a background in a sect, and she lacked discipline and restrictions. She was also beautiful, so it was inevitable that she would be tempted by all kinds of things. Naturally, it was easy for her to go down the wrong path.
"She's a beautiful woman. Staying in the mountains and forests is not as happy as being flattered and flattered by others in the colorful world. She wasn't bound by rules and regulations, so it was easy for her to linger in the bustling world. So, she settled in Qi Jing.
"When she was young and beautiful, she had a lot of men around her. It was quite a glamorous life. Many people were jealous of her, and there were even several deaths because of her. It was said that she wanted to marry many times, but her reputation was too bad. The men around her could only play with her, but how could they marry her?
"I heard that in her early years, she also met a few men that she liked very much. She fought so hard for them, and in the end, she was almost beaten to death by the people in those sects. In the end, she didn't get married. But then again, how could the disciples of famous sects and cultivators with real status marry her? She wasn't willing to make do with the average rogue cultivators, so she dragged it out.
"Later, when she grew older, it was inevitable that her beauty would fade. The men around her gradually drifted away. However, this woman still had some brains, unlike those who had the face but no brains, who ended up in such a miserable state. She made use of the connections she had when she was young, and that's how she gradually became known as the 'matchmaker' in Qi Capital. It's hard for others to replicate her success … "
Linghu Qiu rambled on and on about some of the things he knew about Guan Fangyi.
When he finished, he saw Niu Youdao's interested expression. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what do you mean by you're interested in her? Don't tell me you have such a heavy appetite? "
He was a little suspicious. Whether it was Black Peony, Hong Xiu, or Hong Fu, they were all much older than this person. It was possible that they had a heavy appetite. Moreover, this person had admitted it before.
Niu Youdao asked, "What's her cultivation level?"
Linghu Qiu replied, "I'm not sure. Logically speaking, she should have the cultivation level of Golden Core. She didn't lack cultivation resources in the past, and countless people offered them to her. I heard that in the early years, there were people who offered millions of gold coins just for a smile from her."
Niu Youdao asked, "Could it be that her situation is only on the surface, and there's actually another force behind her?"
Linghu Qiu replied, "Impossible! If there really is, it must be the Qi Kingdom's imperial court. "
"Oh?" Niu Youdao asked, "What do you mean?"
Linghu Qiu replied, "It's obvious. She was too messy when she was young, stirring up trouble at the slightest provocation. She was surrounded by a bunch of messy people, and there were people watching everything she did. Which force would not invite trouble for themselves if they recruited such a person? With her current situation, the things she does, and the fact that she's been living in the Capital of Qi for a long time, which is an important place in the Qi Kingdom, it would be strange if the Qi Kingdom's imperial court didn't put her under surveillance. Which force would want to recruit such a person? This woman has always been too ostentatious. She's not suitable to do things that don't see the light of day. "
Niu Youdao smiled and raised the sword in his hand. "I haven't had a good look around since I came to the Capital of Qi. Second Brother, let's go. Take me to meet this matchmaker."
"Why did you provoke her? Who knows what Wei Chu will say when he returns to the Jin Wangfu. You should think about how to deal with him. "
"If the Jin Wangfu wants to touch me, they'll have to think about Bu Xun first. At least in the Capital of Qi, he won't dare to touch me."
Niu Youdao didn't mind. He was telling the truth, and the Jin Wangfu would naturally understand after verifying the information.
"Where's the warhorse? The trouble in front has been solved, and you're not going to deal with the warhorse? "
"That matter can't be rushed. Where will the opportunity come from if I'm trapped here? I'll have to go out more to find an opportunity."
Niu Youdao wasn't anxious about the warhorse at all. He already had a trump card in his hand. Ten thousand warhorses could leave the country at any time. What he needed to worry about now was what would happen after the warhorse left the country. It was just that it wasn't convenient for him to tell the other party about it yet …
Inside the palace, Bu Xun walked into the hall with light steps. He walked to the side of Hao Yun Tu, who was bent over the table and reading. He waved his hand to dismiss the other eunuchs in the hall. He stood there in silence.
Hao Yun Tu didn't even raise his head. "If you have something to say, say it."
Bu Xun bowed slightly. "The Jin Wangfu sent his subordinate, Wei Chu, to find the matchmaker of Fufang Garden to invite Linghu Qiu over. Then, together with Linghu Qiu, they secretly went to Niu Youdao."
Hao Yun Tu's bent over the table froze. Slowly, he raised his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Bu Xun wanted to say something but hesitated. He shouldn't speak ill of anyone in the matter between the princes. It was easy for the Emperor to misunderstand that he was biased towards someone and taking sides. This was a great taboo for the Emperor's trusted aides. However, he was afraid that someone would cause trouble. Then, wouldn't he and the Princess of Jade have made a wasted trip? So, in the end, he made it clear. "The Jin Wangfu is sending people to investigate about this old servant and the Princess of Jade's visit to Niu Youdao. He's trying to find out what we talked about with Niu Youdao."
Hao Yun Tu's cheeks puffed up. Bang! Suddenly, he slammed the table and stood up. He scolded angrily, "Useless thing!"
He had already walked away from the long table and was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking very angry.
Bu Xun lowered his head and looked up from time to time.
He could understand the Emperor's feelings. Other matters were easy to handle, but the matters of one's own children were often the most infuriating.
Hao Yun Tu suddenly stopped in front of him and said sternly, "What do you want to know? Why don't you dare to ask openly? If I can tell him, would I not tell him? Why do you have to be so sneaky? Does the eldest imperial son of Qi not even have this much courage? "
Bu Xun hurriedly helped to salvage the situation. "Perhaps he felt that there was no need to alarm Your Majesty over such a small matter. It's also a sign of filial piety!"
"Don't talk nonsense with me. You know very well what's going on. Filial piety? I think it's just a bit of selfishness? " Hao Yun Tu waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Don't let him ruin things. Immediately tell him what I said!"
He waved his hand and pointed to the sky, saying majestically, "Only with the masculine chest of the sun can the darkness be pushed back! If it's only the feminine chest of the moon, it can only breed demons and monsters in the darkness! An eagle should soar in the sky, how can it crawl on the ground? "
His tone was frighteningly angry, and the indignation in his voice was resentful of his son for failing to live up to his expectations!
This was his eldest son!
"Yes!" Bu Xun bowed and answered.
In the Jin Wangfu, after listening to Wei Chu's detailed report, Hao Qi's face was taut. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking. He asked, "Promote peace? Isn't it enough for Bu Xun to talk to him about promoting peace? Is there a need for Bu Xun and Princess of Jade to take turns to look for him? How can you believe this kind of nonsense? "
Wei Chu said, "I also raised this doubt, but he insisted on it. I didn't dare to act rashly."
Hao Qi stopped and asked, "Did you tell him what this king said?"
Wei Chu said, "I did. He said that he wouldn't dare to go against you, Prince, but he didn't change his words."
"There must be something fishy about this. He must be hiding something from me!" Hao Qi said hatefully.
At this moment, a eunuch quickly ran over and reported, "Your Highness, the people from the palace are here to deliver the imperial edict."
Hao Qi's expression turned serious. He didn't dare to delay and quickly went out to welcome them.
In the courtyard, they met three eunuchs. Hao Qi ordered them to set up a formation to receive the decree.
The leader of the eunuchs quickly raised his hand to stop him. "Prince, this is a verbal decree."
Hao Qi quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'm listening!"
The eunuch said, "Prince, His Majesty wants to ask Prince something first."
Hao Qi said, "I will tell you everything I know."
The eunuch then asked seriously, "His Majesty wants to ask Prince if he sent anyone to investigate Chief Bu and Princess of Jade's meeting yesterday?"
Wei Chu and Hao Qi's expressions changed drastically. Hao Qi's Adam's apple moved. Finally, he cupped his hands and said with difficulty, "Yes!"
The eunuch said, "Good! Now, these are His Majesty's words. Prince, listen up. "
Hao Qi said respectfully, "Yes!"
