Hearing this, Niu Youdao suddenly frowned and fell into deep thought.
Ghost Mother continued, "I've stayed in Qi for more than a hundred years, so I know some inside information. If the imperial court doesn't want me to leave the country, it's impossible for such a large number of warhorses to leave the country. Haoyun Sheng knows my secret and is willing to pay, so I'm just doing him a favor at little cost. Both sides have an agreement that I'll only help if he can transport the warhorses out, so don't worry, whether it's Haoyun Tu or Haoyun Sheng, they won't pursue this matter, so you don't have to worry. You just need to keep your promise and hand the person over to me! "
She slapped a stack of gold notes on the table, "For the sake of this money, I can promise you that as long as the person is safe, I won't touch you this time and will let you go!"
Seeing that the other party saw through her thoughts and didn't care about it at all, she felt a little uncertain. If the other party kept his promise, she planned to take the money and end this matter. She didn't want to cause any more unnecessary trouble. After all, this was Yan City.
Slowly nodded, Niu Youdao said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, but even though you're willing to let me go, I'm afraid there's someone who doesn't!"
Ghost Mother's gaze turned cold, "You want to try?"
"No, no, no! Ghost Mother misunderstood, it's not me. "Niu Youdao waved his hand," It's not me who doesn't want to let you go, it's Qi's Emperor Haoyun Tu! "
Guan Fangyi waved the circular fan in her hand as she looked at Niu Youdao with interest. She wanted to see what this fellow was up to.
Seeing Niu Youdao's nonchalant expression, she felt a lot more at ease. After interacting with him for so long, she more or less knew a little about Niu Youdao's ability, and she also had a little more confidence in him.
Of course, she still had talismans hidden in her sleeves, ready to use them at any time.
Ghost Mother said, "Don't you think you're worrying too much?"
Niu Youdao asked, "Do you think Haoyun Tu's power is not enough to destroy your Pitfall Mountain?"
Mother Ghost: "If an enemy country attacks, my Trapped Yin Mountain is willing to lend him a helping hand. Vast Cloud Tu is not a fool, he knows the pros and cons."
Niu Youdao: "That also depends on what it is. If Trapped Yin Mountain threatens his throne, I'm afraid he will mobilize a large number of cultivators to destroy Trapped Yin Mountain!"
Mother Ghost sneered, "My Pitfall Mountain is threatening his throne? You are referring to Haoyun's victory, right? Sending someone to escort Hao Yun Sheng's ship was enough to threaten his throne? What a huge joke! "
Niu Youdao: "In the martial world, we walk the road and make friends. If Ghost Mother doesn't mind, I am willing to become sworn siblings with different surnames. What do you think?"
The others who were listening were stunned by his sudden appearance.
Mother Ghostmother was also stunned for a long time. Finally, she sneered, "You want to become sworn brothers with me? When I became famous, I don't even know where your grandfather was. What right do you have to become sworn brothers with me? "
"Pfft …" Guan Fangyi covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably.
Mother Ghost looked up at her. "Was what I said funny?"
"No, no." Guan Fangyi held back her laughter and waved her fan. She couldn't help but laugh. She thought of Niu Youdao's sworn brother, Linghu Qiu. She knew very well who sent Linghu Qiu to prison.
Gongsun Bu's expression was also very interesting. He realized that Daoye really liked to become sworn brothers with others.
Niu Youdao turned around and stared coldly at Guan Fangyi. He blamed this woman for not knowing how to cooperate. Then, he turned back. "Alright, since Mother Ghost doesn't like me, I don't want to get involved in Qi's matters for no reason." He pointed at the gold notes on the table. "Please keep the gold notes. Zhang Xingrui will return them intact. You should receive news in a few days. If you are worried, you can keep an eye on me."
He stood up and cupped his hands.
Just as he was about to turn around, Mother Ghost suddenly asked, "Do you think there's any meaning in this kind of self-deceiving swearing?"
Guan Fangyi thought to herself that it was over. The fact that Mother Ghost could ask such a question meant that she was stuck by Niu Youdao's words. Obviously, she was still worried that the Vast Cloud Painting would harm Pitting Yin Mountain. She wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't get to the bottom of it.
Niu Youdao said, "Whether there's any meaning or not depends on the future. Time will tell! If there's no meaning, we won't lose anything. At most, we won't see each other for the rest of our lives. "
Mother Ghost said, "I'm warning you, don't play tricks on me!"
Her meaning was clear. If the situation didn't exist, the so-called swearing of brotherhood wouldn't restrict her.
Niu Youdao asked, "Can I play tricks on you?"
Since it had come to this, Mother Ghost was straightforward. "Then let's begin!"
Niu Youdao turned around. "Gongsun, set up the incense table!"
Gongsun Bu's mouth twitched. He nodded and replied, "Yes!" He turned around and left.
Guan Fangyi waved the circular fan in her hand and looked up at the ceiling. She looked left and right, but no one knew what she was looking for.
Lu Lijun, who was beside Mother Ghost, also had an interesting expression on his face. He glanced at the serious Niu Youdao from time to time …
Just outside the relay station, the incense table was set up. The two sworn brothers walked in side by side and handed them some good incense.
Niu Youdao was straightforward. He lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down.
Mother Ghost tilted her head and stared at him in silence. She was obviously hesitant.
Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mother Ghost said, "I heard that Linghu Qiu and the Heavenly Jade Gate Elder are also your sworn brothers?"
Niu Youdao said, "We don't affect each other."
Mother Ghost hesitated for a while before she knelt down and took the oath with him.
At this moment, Niu Youdao found out that Mother Ghost's real name was Wu Xuejun.
The commotion attracted many cultivators who were guarding their warhorses. Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, Meng Shanming, Fei Changliu, Zheng Jiuxiao, Xia Hua, and the others came. The ghost cultivators of Pitted Yin Mountain were also puzzled. Most of them didn't know what was going on.
Fei, Zheng, and Xia Hua, who had witnessed Niu Youdao and Linghu Qiu becoming sworn brothers, were very emotional. Who did he become sworn brothers with? And it was a female ghost cultivator.
After the incense was placed and the ceremony was over, Niu Youdao cupped his fists at Mother Ghost and said, "Big sister!"
Mother Ghost turned around and went straight into the relay station.
Fei, Zheng, and Xia immediately stepped forward and stopped Niu Youdao who was about to enter the relay station. Xia Hua asked, "I say, Master Daoist, what are you trying to do? Who is this person who has become your sworn brother?"
"Oh, Mother Ghost!" Niu Youdao said and left.
"Mother Ghost?"
"Is it Mother Ghost from Pitted Yin Mountain?"
"I don't think there's a second person called Mother Ghost in the cultivation world, right?"
The three of them asked each other in shock. They didn't know what was going on. Why would Mother Ghost of Pitted Yin Mountain and Niu Youdao become sworn brothers?
The three of them wanted to go in and see what was going on, but they were stopped by the ghost cultivators outside the relay station.
After the three of them retreated, Shang Chaozong asked, "Who is the woman Daoye became sworn brothers with?"
Fei Changliu said, "Prince, she's not a human. She's a ghost cultivator in disguise. She's Pitted Yin Mountain's Pitted Yin Mountain. Her ranking on the Pill Rankings is even higher than that Zhuo Chao that Niu Youdao killed."
"She's Mother Ghost?" Lan Ruoting was shocked.
The names on the Pill Rankings were, to a certain extent, meant for nobles like them to see. A person as special as Mother Ghost would leave a deep impression on anyone who saw her.
In short, Shang, Lan, and Meng looked at each other. They couldn't understand why a person like Mother Ghost would become sworn brothers with Niu Youdao. They also couldn't understand what Niu Youdao was doing.
"Our Daoye really likes to become sworn brothers with others!" Xia Hua suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Bai Yao, who was in charge of protecting Shang Chaozong, frowned slightly. Mother Ghost actually became sworn brothers with Niu Youdao? What was going on?
In fact, to Mother Ghost, this oath had no meaning to her. She wasn't prepared to take on any obligation to become sworn brothers. That was why she asked in advance if there was any meaning to this oath.
Naturally, Niu Youdao was well aware of this point.
Of course, Mother Ghost was clear about one thing. Since Niu Youdao wanted to become sworn brothers, he must have some interest in it. At the very least, he would be able to bask in her glory. This was the price he had to pay for what she wanted to know.
After sitting down in the relay station room, Mother Ghost said coldly, "Can you tell me now?"
Niu Youdao also sat down opposite her. He asked, "Big sister, do you know who these warhorses are for?"
Mother Ghost replied, "I don't know. Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Indeed, it doesn't." Niu Youdao nodded. He then asked, "Big sister, I believe you don't know who is in charge of these warhorses either, right?"
Mother Ghost asked, "Isn't it the King of the West Courtyard?"
Niu Youdao smiled. He had already guessed this before. Pitting Yin Mountain probably didn't know the situation.
At first, he believed Guan Fangyi and thought that Su Zhao and Zhang Xingrui were involved. However, after investigating Mother Ghost's situation, he realized that something was wrong.
Pitting Yin Mountain and the Qi Kingdom had an agreement. There was no threat to their survival. The world's conditions didn't allow ghost cultivators to do anything. The world's cultivators wouldn't allow ghost cultivators to do whatever they wanted. No matter how stupid Mother Ghost was, she knew that with her current strength, it wasn't suitable for her to get involved in things she shouldn't. Pitting Yin Mountain's current situation was the best. It had the conditions to slowly grow and develop.
Therefore, he suspected that Mother Ghost didn't even know that the King of the West Courtyard had something to do with Waning Moon Pavilion. In addition, Waning Moon Pavilion wouldn't easily expose their identity. There were too many unpredictability in transporting so many warhorses. It was too easy to be exposed. If Pitting Yin Mountain knew too much, it would easily expose Su Zhao's identity. It wasn't like Waning Moon Pavilion's style.
After a series of tests, he confirmed it. Otherwise, Mother Ghost wouldn't have become sworn brothers with him. Now that he heard Mother Ghost's words, he was even more certain.
Niu Youdao suddenly said to the people around him, "Excuse me for a moment. I have something to talk to Big Sister in private."
Guan Fangyi, Gongsun Bu, and the others looked at each other and left.
He wasn't afraid of being alone. Mother Ghost naturally had nothing to be afraid of. She also nodded to Lu Lijun and the others.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Niu Youdao reminded, "This batch of warhorses was actually secretly arranged by Waning Moon Pavilion!"
Mother Ghost was really shocked this time. "You mean the King of the West Courtyard is secretly involved with Waning Moon Pavilion?"
Niu Youdao said seriously, "Big Sister, do you know that when I was in the Capital of Qi, Vast Cloud Map sent Bu Xun, the Minister of Internal Affairs to contact me? Do you know why my sworn brother, Linghu Qiu, was captured by Vast Cloud Map? Because Linghu Qiu is from Waning Moon Pavilion! Does Eldest Sister know what kind of person Su Zhao, the lady boss of the White Cloud Inn, is? Su Zhao is also from Waning Moon Pavilion! Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the King of the West Courtyard is not willing to be left out! "
