"Is she your woman?"
Guan Fangyi appeared beside him and asked while staring at the tombstone.
She had a lot of feelings for this woman who was buried here quietly. First, she was impressed by this woman's loyalty. Second, she was impressed by Duan Hu's explanation after he came back.
Speaking of which, it was true that this woman acted on her own. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she deserved it. However, Niu Youdao insisted on taking the risk to wait for this woman. Although this woman knew that the time to set sail had passed, she still believed that Niu Youdao was still waiting for her.
Guan Fangyi didn't know if it was a telepathic connection, but the separation of Yin and Yang in front of her made her full of emotions.
Niu Youdao, "Yes and no. To be exact, she is one of my people."
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "What do you mean? What's the difference? "
Niu Youdao didn't answer this question. He turned around and his eyes inadvertently fell on the high pavilion in the villa. Ghost Mother was leaning on the railing and staring at him.
He understood that they had their eyes on him. Before Zhang Xingrui's matter was settled, they would not let go of the surveillance on him.
"Did I send my message to Second Brother Wu last night?" Niu Youdao asked.
Guan Fangyi, "Yes."
Niu Youdao nodded and asked again, "Can you contact the Waning Moon Pavilion?"
Guan Fangyi: "How can I contact them? It's not like you don't know how mysterious those people are. Do you want to contact them? The one in the clouds … "
"She can't. We can't expose her yet. We can't catch her yet." Niu Youdao interrupted her and asked again, "The Waning Moon Pavilion is a killer organization. They must have their own stalls. You have been a broker in Qi Jing for so many years. Don't you know how to contact their stalls?"
Guan Fangyi, "I know the contact information of their stalls, but I only know the one in the capital of the Kingdom of Qi. I don't know about other places."
"That's enough. Come with me." Niu Youdao said and left.
The two of them returned to the villa and returned to Niu Youdao's room.
Niu Youdao laid out the brush, ink, paper and inkstone once again and sat down. Guan Fangyi looked around the room and suddenly laughed, "I came to look for you this morning and saw something I shouldn't have seen from the window. Why did that Junzhu help you tie your hair?"
"It means to tie up your hair."
"Tsk, tsk, the daughter of King Ning and Shang Jianbo, does she have any other intentions for you?"
"You're thinking too much. Don't you know how the Shang siblings win people's hearts?"
"Oh," Guan Fangyi suddenly realized something and revealed a look of understanding.
She thought about it and agreed. Such an ugly woman was frighteningly ugly. Which man would like her? They shouldn't have that kind of relationship.
Niu Youdao wrote a few lines of words and handed the paper to her, "Send this to Second Brother Wu and ask him to find a way to send it to the Xiaoyue Pavilion in the capital of Qi."
Guan Fangyi took the paper and looked at it, muttering, "The thing you want is in my hands. I'm willing to hand it over. Send someone to negotiate, Shang, Niu Youdao!" She looked up and asked with a puzzled face, "What do they want is in your hands?"
Niu Youdao, "It doesn't matter if you know or not. Anyway, it's not good for you to know too much now. You'll know when the time comes."
Guan Fangyi pointed to the paper, "Then what does this' Shang, Niu Youdao 'mean? Is it a typo or does it refer to the Shang siblings? "
"This is not for you, it's for the Xiaoyue Pavilion. Send it as soon as possible. Also, ask Yuan Fang to come and see me. "
"Burn the bridge after crossing the river …" Guan Fangyi cursed and left.
Not long after, Yuan Fang came. His sanctimonious expression turned into a smile, and he came forward to bow, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao, "Send a message to Chen Guishuo. Tell him that as long as we don't take the initiative to contact him, no matter what happens over there, he is not allowed to contact us here. He is not allowed to take the initiative to contact us for a year."
"Okay! Is there anything else, Daoye? "
"Do it immediately!"
"Yes!" Yuan Fang responded and quickly left.
Niu Youdao slowly leaned back in his chair, frowning and thinking.
Black Peony was dead, and Yuan Gang was gone. Some confidential matters needed to be taken over by someone else. He couldn't do everything by himself, and he was too busy. Yuan Fang's main focus was not in this area, so some things were not suitable for Yuan Fang to do.
…
In the study of the Northern Provincial Governor's Mansion, Shao Pingbo stood in front of a map, his eyes staring at the silver needles on the map. His face was unusually solemn.
Shao Sansheng stood quietly at the side, stealing glances at him from time to time.
Shao Pingbo turned his head and said in a low voice, "The location marked by the silver needles should have reached the estuary yesterday. Why hasn't there been any news from our people? Such a big ship entering the small estuary shouldn't have been missed, right? "
Shao Sansheng lowered his head. There were some things he didn't dare to say!
Shao Pingbo sensed that something was wrong. He slowly turned around and walked up to him. He stared at Chu Yang's expression and said word by word, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Shao Sansheng raised his head with difficulty. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Young Master, I've received a reply. The ship … the people at the estuary didn't notice the arrival of the fleet."
Shao Pingbo's eyes widened. He raised his finger and pointed at the silver needles on the map. "Then what's going on? The news from the fleet was clearly at the estuary. How could they not notice it? "
Shao Sansheng didn't seem to know how to answer.
Shao Pingbo suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Yang's collar. He gritted his teeth and said, "You should know that this is a serious matter. Are you muddle-headed? How dare you be so vague with me about this? "
Shao Sansheng said with difficulty, "Young Master, there really isn't any trace of the fleet at the estuary."
"Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and confirm the situation! " Shao Pingbo was enraged. He pushed Chu Yang away, almost causing him to fall to the ground. He pointed at Chu Yang and said, "At the same time, contact Sister Zhao and ask her what is going on!"
Shao Sansheng had no intention of moving. He said with a bitter face, "Young Master, the informant at Qingshan County has sent news. Niu Youdao has returned to Qingshan County."
Shao Pingbo was taken aback. He immediately retorted angrily, "You've been with me for so many years. Can't you tell the severity of the situation? War horses! War horses! War horses! Let's ignore him for now. Let's get to the bottom of the war horses first! "
Shao Sansheng swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "The informant at Qingshan County said that Niu Youdao has brought back a large fleet. There are about four to five hundred ships and about thirty thousand war horses. It seems to be similar to our fleet …" His tone was heavy at the end of his sentence.
He had received the news a long time ago, but he was not stupid. Otherwise, he would not have stayed by Shao Pingbo's side for so long. He immediately understood what was going on.
It was precisely because he understood that he did not dare to report it. He was afraid that the person in front of him would not be able to take the blow.
"You … you …" Shao Pingbo's eyes widened and his face turned pale. He slowly raised his trembling hand and pointed at Chu Yang. "You … What did you say? Say it again! "
Shao Sansheng lowered his head. He knew that Chu Yang understood what he said. With Young Master Shao's intelligence, how could he not understand what was going on?
Shao Pingbo's Adam's apple moved. He slowly turned around and pointed at the map. He pointed at the Kingdom of Qi. His chest rose and fell rapidly. After holding it in for a long time, he burst out with grief and indignation. "Su Zhao! What are you hiding from me? "
He then pointed at Shao Sansheng. "You … you are so kind. You are hiding from me!"
Shao Sansheng frowned. "Young Master, you can't be anxious about your body. You must not be anxious!"
"Bastard! I'm irreconcilable with you! Ah … "Shao Pingbo suddenly held his chest with one hand and let out a scream. His neck stiffened and his head twisted. He fell to the ground.
By the time Shao Sansheng heard the scream and looked up, it was already too late.
Shao Pingbo's body was already on the ground.
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng exclaimed. He quickly knelt on the ground and held Chu Yang in his arms.
Shao Pingbo's body was tense. He clenched his fists tightly and coughed with his eyes closed. Mouthfuls of blood came out of his mouth. His face was as white as a sheet.
Shao Sansheng immediately raised his head and shouted, "Someone come! Someone come! Someone come quickly … "
A few people quickly rushed in from outside. They were cultivators from the Great Zen Mountain. They were shocked to see Shao Pingbo vomiting blood.
As Shao Pingbo's bodyguards, if something happened to Shao Pingbo, none of them would be able to escape responsibility. They immediately panicked and quickly performed their arts to save Shao Pingbo.
Once something happened to Chu Yang, all the higher-ups of the provincial governor's estate were alarmed.
Shao Dengyun came. Zhong Yangxu, who was in charge of the provincial governor's estate, also came. Shao Liuer also came.
Zhong Yangxu, who was sitting next to the bed and carefully examining Shao Pingbo, slowly stood up and said to Shao Dengyun, "Brother Shao, Eldest Young Master was so angry that his blood qi attacked his heart. If it weren't for the accompanying cultivators who came to rescue him in time, I'm afraid he would've died."
Shao Sansheng wiped his tears at the side. He knew he couldn't say anything. However, he couldn't hide this for long. Young Master paid attention to the fleet's progress every day.
The white-haired Shao Dengyun asked, "What's his condition now?"
Zhong Yangxu said, "His life isn't in danger for now. However, his heart meridian is severely damaged. He needs to rest!"
Shao Dengyun asked, "When will he wake up?"
Zhong Yangxu looked at Shao Pingbo, who was still clenching his fists despite being unconscious. "Physical illness can be treated, but mental illness makes one helpless. It's as if he's trapped in a nightmare. When he wakes up will depend on when he wakes up from his dream."
He then turned to look at Shao Sansheng. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth. What exactly happened to make Young Master so angry?"
Shao Sansheng wiped his tears and said, "I received news from Qingshan Commandery that Niu Youdao returned from the State of Qi. He even brought back a large number of warhorses, so I … I …"
He was a little hesitant. He didn't dare to say that he secretly got warhorses from the State of Qi behind the Great Zen Mountain's back.
