Shang Shuqing glanced at him. He didn't know what he was talking about, so it wasn't appropriate for him to ask.
Niu Youdao, on the other hand, knew about it, so he had Yuan Fang send a message to Chen Guishuo recently.
With a reply, he was relieved. Chen Guishuo was a very important chess piece to him, which was also one of the reasons why he held back Ghost Mother.
The warhorse was stolen from the State of Qi, and the Pitted Yin Mountain had helped him. Anyone who saw this would think that the problem was with the Pitted Yin Mountain. They would think that the Pitted Yin Mountain had leaked the news, and would not think that the problem was with the waterway in Han, and would not suspect Chen Guishuo. He had to protect Chen Guishuo well. Even though his plan was very stable, for safety's sake, he still asked Chen Guishuo to stop communicating with him to prevent any accidents from happening.
Removing Chen Guishuo from the picture was not only for himself, but also to be responsible for Chen Guishuo.
"Got it," Niu Youdao replied plainly, looking indifferent.
Without any other instructions, Yuan Fang left.
Not long after, Duan Hu returned and reported, "Daoye, there's someone outside the valley asking to see you."
Niu Youdao: "Who is it?"
Duan Hu: "He didn't reveal his identity. He only said that he was invited by you."
Niu Youdao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at himself in the mirror. "The guests are here. How many of them?"
Duan Hu: "Just one!"
Niu Youdao: "Invite him in! Also, tell Hong Niang and the rest to be on guard! Inform the people from the three sects to be on high alert and report to me immediately if there's anything out of the ordinary! "
"Yes!" Duan Hu accepted the order and left.
Shang Shuqing's hands moved faster. When he heard that Niu Youdao wanted to mobilize so many people, he naturally understood that it was an urgent matter.
Thinking about the present, she felt quite emotional. She could still clearly remember the scene when she invited him out of the mountain.
This person had been placed under house arrest in the Peach Blossom Spring, and everything he did was at the mercy of others. In the blink of an eye, unknowingly, he already had so many subordinates in his hands. There were three sects under his command, and any one of them was far stronger than the Shangqing Sect in the past. Where was the Shangqing Sect now? He would probably be filled with regret!
The two siblings, who had been like stray dogs, were also helped up by him.
Every time this happened, she would recall what Yuan Gang had said to her back then: To you, Daoye is more important than his cultivation …
Niu Youdao, who had tidied himself up, bumped into Guan Fangyi, who was walking briskly toward him.
Guan Fangyi nodded to Shang Shuqing as a greeting and turned to follow behind Niu Youdao, asking: "What's the situation?"
Niu Youdao said, "Your Sky Sword Talisman is ready. The people from Waning Moon Pavilion are here."
"Ah! So fast? "Guan Fangyi was somewhat surprised, and her heartstrings tightened.
Shang Shuqing watched the two figures disappear outside the courtyard.
The people who had eaten breakfast had already disappeared, and the pavilions were neatly tidied up. Niu Youdao sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and waiting quietly.
Guan Fangyi stood aside and was on guard.
After a while, Duan Hu arrived with a man in a black robe.
The man's head was covered, and his face was obviously masked. He slowly sat opposite Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao waved his hand to signal Duan Hu to leave. He personally poured a cup of tea and gestured to the man in the black robe who was staring at him. "Please have some tea!"
"No need." The man in the black robe said in a hoarse voice, which was obviously a fake voice. His eyes were still staring at Niu Youdao.
It was impossible for him to drink the tea here. It was more likely that he was tired of living. In the eyes of some people, Niu Youdao was not a good person.
Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "May I know your name?"
The man in the black robe said, "Is there a need to know?"
Niu Youdao said, "You know me, but I don't know you. It seems like I'm at a disadvantage."
The man in the black robe said, "This is not the main point of our meeting."
Niu Youdao said, "That's true. You guys have always been secretive and can't see the light of day."
The man in the black robe said, "I'm not here to bicker with you."
Niu Youdao said, "If I don't confirm your identity, how can I talk to you? How can I hand the item over to you? "
The man in the black robe took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, slapped it on the table and pushed it over.
Niu Youdao took it and opened it. It was the invitation letter that he had written. He could naturally recognize his own handwriting.
The man in the black robe asked, "Don't delay, where is the item?"
Niu Youdao folded the paper in his hand, "Let's talk about the conditions first. Once the conditions are settled, the item will naturally be given to you."
The man in the black robe said, "What conditions? Tell me."
Niu Youdao said, "The previous grievances are written off, and you are not allowed to make trouble for me again."
For the Waning Moon Pavilion, this was expected. The man in the black robe said, "Okay! As long as the item is real, I can make the decision for you. "
Niu Youdao said, "Don't worry. Also, Linghu Qiu and his two servants will leave the Waning Moon Pavilion, and the Waning Moon Pavilion will not make trouble for them again."
The man in the black robe said, "Why does it sound like a joke to me? They were harmed by you. Don't say that you are saving them."
Not to mention him, even Guan Fangyi, who was guarding on the side, was a little surprised.
Niu Youdao said, "You don't need to worry about this. Just a question and answer, or not?"
The man in the black robe hesitated for a moment, "I can't make the decision. I need to ask my superiors."
Niu Youdao nodded, "Okay, I will wait for your reply. You can also ask for two more things. First, I want ten million gold coins; second, as long as it is my people, the Waning Moon Pavilion will not act rashly in the future. "
Ten million gold coins? Guan Fangyi's eyes flashed. What could be so valuable? What could make so many conditions for the Waning Moon Pavilion?
The man in the black robe said, "Let's not talk about other things for now. How do we know who is your people and who is not? If you randomly point out some people and say that they are your people, won't we be held back by you? "
Niu Youdao said, "That's easy. I won't make it difficult for you. As long as it is known to everyone, it is obvious that they are my people. You can't act rashly."
The man in the black robe said, "You have put forward four conditions. I can only promise you the first one. I can't give you an answer for the rest for the time being."
Niu Youdao nodded, "Okay, I am not in a hurry. It will not be too late to answer after you ask."
The man in the black robe said, "What about the item? I at least need to know if it is real and if it is in your hands. Otherwise, how can I ask my superiors? "
Clang! Niu Youdao took out a bronze mirror, threw it directly on the table, and stretched out his hand to indicate that he could check it.
The man in the black robe was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, as if throwing away a piece of junk, which made him wonder if it was real.
Guan Fangyi was also curious. She stared at the bronze mirror on the table and muttered to herself, "What's going on? Isn't it just a bronze mirror?"
The man in the black robe reached for the bronze mirror on the table, turned it over and over, and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure it is real?"
Niu Youdao said, "I don't know if it is real or not, but it is indeed something that Dongguo Haoran gave to me before he died. Dongguo Haoran lost his life for this thing. I think it should be real. Linghu Qiu has been with me for so long and kept asking questions. Isn't it for this? "
Asking in a roundabout way? The man in the black robe secretly scolded Linghu Qiu for being stupid. No wonder he was exposed!
"If it is real, why didn't you run away and let me take it?" The man in the black robe asked.
As soon as he said this, Guan Fangyi flashed the Heaven Sword Talisman in her hand, which made the man in the black robe raise his eyebrows.
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "Try and run away if you dare. If you want to snatch it, I'll let you. However, I promise that the world will soon know that this thing is in your hands. You can try to snatch it if you are not afraid of trouble. This is the basis of my deal with you. If you agree to my conditions, I promise not to leak this matter. Otherwise, you can break your promise and cause trouble for me. I can't afford to offend you, and I don't want to cause trouble for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given this thing to you. "
The man in the black robe didn't say anything else and put the bronze mirror back on the table. He took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve and opened it. There were two brushes and a small box inside.
The small box was opened, revealing something that looked like ink. The man in the black robe took a small brush, dipped it in ink, and carefully brushed the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror.
Then, he took out a piece of paper and covered it. He took another clean brush and gently brushed the paper on the back of the bronze mirror.
After a while, the paper was removed, and the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror was impressively printed on the paper.
Then, he began to copy the front of the bronze mirror.
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "You really came prepared! It seems that you have the copy of this bronze mirror. "
The man in the black robe ignored him and copied the front of the bronze mirror. He carefully blew the ink on the two pieces of paper and carefully folded them.
"I'll come back after I ask for instructions from the higher-ups." The man in the black robe stood up and left.
While Niu Youdao was sending her off with his gaze, Guan Fangyi had already taken the bronze mirror into her hands. She didn't mind that it was dirty and flipped it over and over, asking, "What is this bronze mirror?"
Niu Youdao stared at the Sky Sword Talisman in her hand and said, "I say, Hong Niang, you use the Sky Sword Talisman and still complain that you are poor. You still want me to support you. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes and said, "What does using the Sky Sword Talisman have to do with money?"
Niu Youdao sneered, "How can you afford something as luxurious as the Sky Sword Talisman if you don't have money?"
Guan Fangyi said, "I didn't buy it. When I was young, there were many people who gave me gifts. In the early years, a guy from the Sky Way Sect wooed me and gave me some talismans to keep for self-defense. I can't refuse his kindness."
Niu Youdao's jaw dropped. "Some? How much is some? I know that the Sky Way Sect specializes in refining talismans, but this Sky Sword Talisman isn't easy to refine. Who gave you such an expensive high-grade Sky Sword Talisman as a gift? This person must have a high status in the Sky Way Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten this thing. "
Guan Fangyi didn't seem to want to talk about this and said, "Don't change the topic. Tell me honestly, what is this thing?" She waved the bronze mirror in her hand.
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Nothing. It's a Shang Mirror!"
"What?" Guan Fangyi's eyes almost popped out. She exclaimed, "This is the Shang Mirror, the first of the Eight Treasures refined by the founding emperor of the Wu State, Shang Song?"
Niu Youdao grunted. While she was distracted, he pulled it back and kept it. "What do you think?"
Guan Fangyi still didn't believe him. "This broken mirror doesn't look special. How can it be the Qin State's guardian artifact, the Shang Mirror?"
Those who hadn't seen it before would find it hard to associate this ordinary-looking mirror with that precious treasure.
