Those who should leave couldn't stay. Mother Harpy didn't want to stay any longer, so she left.
Niu Youdao personally sent her off, but she didn't want to take the main path in the valley, so she escaped into the dense forest behind the mountain and disappeared in a flash.
"You look like you don't want Ghost Mother to leave," Guan Fangyi said when she saw Niu Youdao's strange expression.
"Alas!" Niu Youdao sighed.
It wasn't that he didn't want Ghost Mother to leave, he just didn't want her to go to Crossing Clouds Mountain. Ghost Mother and Yun Ji were sisters, he and Yun Ji's son were sworn brothers, and he and Ghost Mother were sworn siblings.
Oh no! He felt awkward just thinking about it. If Ghost Mother knew, it would be awkward too …
In the Imperial Palace of Qi Capital, Hao Yuntu, who was reading memorials, looked up in surprise. "Release Linghu Qiu?"
Bu Xun, who was standing next to him, bowed slightly. "Yes, Niu Youdao sent a letter, saying that Linghu Qiu is his sworn brother, and he doesn't want to see his brother suffer anymore, so he begs Your Majesty to release Linghu Qiu."
"Doesn't want to see his brother suffer anymore?" Hao Yuntu sneered. "He's the one who put his brother in prison, isn't he? This guy is so hypocritical. He robbed the warhorses of the Northern Province, and now he's doing this. He has so many tricks up his sleeve. What the hell is he doing? "
Bu Xun said, "This old servant also thinks this is strange. Your Majesty, should we release Linghu Qiu? "
Hao Yuntu put down his brush and leaned against the back of his chair. He pondered for a while, then said Slowly, "He's in our hands. Waning Moon Pavilion should be cut off from everything, and they should be prepared for everything. There's no point in keeping him in our hands. Shang Chaozong can still use that guy. Linghu Qiu has no value anymore. At most, he'll just attract a few flies to slap. He's tasteless, so let him go! But it's best to keep an eye on him and see what Niu Youdao is up to. That guy can even rob such a large number of warhorses from the Northern Province. He's very good at doing things. Keep an eye on him. "
"Yes!" Bu Xun replied.
In the evening, in the Fu Fang Garden, Dugu Jing quickly entered a secluded courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Yu Cang was pacing back and forth restlessly. When he saw Dugu Jing arrive, he immediately became spirited and gave her a questioning look.
Dugu Jing nodded slightly, and Yu Cang immediately gestured for them to talk inside.
The master and disciple quickly entered the house and closed the door.
Yu Cang turned around and asked impatiently, "Where is it?"
Dugu Jing reached into her bosom and took out a white cloth bag. She unfolded the white cloth and revealed the bronze mirror inside. She presented it with both hands.
Yu Cang took it and flipped it over and over again. He quickly walked to the table and opened the old booklet again. He flipped to the page with the copper mirror's pattern and carefully compared it with the pattern on the copper mirror.
Dugu Jing watched with rapt attention.
After a while, Yu Cang closed the booklet with one hand and pressed the bronze mirror against his chest. He had a satisfied expression as if he was drinking fine wine.
Dugu Jing could see the result from her master's rare loss of composure, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Master, how is it?"
Yu Cang Mei smiled and said, "It's matched, it's matched."
"That's good!" Dugu Jing nodded and then asked cautiously, "Master, could it be fake?"
Yu Cang, "I still need to make a final confirmation."
Dugu Jing, "What do you need? This disciple will go prepare now. "
Yu Cang looked at the sky outside the window, "Some things you can prepare, some things you can't."
Dugu Jing cupped his hands, "Master, if you need anything, this disciple will get it at all costs."
"Haha!" Yu Cang laughed heartily and patted his shoulder. He pointed outside the window, "It's not time yet, you can't prepare it even if you want to. It needs to be at night when the moon is in the sky. How can you prepare for the Big Dipper?"
"At night?" Dugu Jing was suspicious.
Yu Cang looked at the bronze mirror in his hand again and touched it for a while before finally hiding it in his bosom. After keeping it close to his body, he smiled and asked, "How was the negotiation?"
Dugu Jing came back to his senses and replied, "I saved five million gold coins."
Yu Cang sighed, "That guy better not play any tricks. As long as it's real, so what if I give him ten million?"
Dugu Jing said, "Master, Niu Youdao also asked me to pass a message to you."
Yu Cang said, "Let's hear it."
"He said, no discord, no concord, the past is in the past, we don't have to be enemies, it's better to have one less enemy, in fact, being friends is also a choice …" Dugu Jing relayed Niu Youdao's exact words.
After listening, Yu Cang thought for a while and muttered to himself, "Everyone in the world, everyone is to be feared, everyone is to be respected …" Suddenly, he smiled and shook his head, "This person is interesting, he is indeed a smart person, what do you think of his opinion?"
Dugu Jing pondered and said, "This disciple thinks it makes sense."
Yu Cang paced back and forth in the room. Slowly, he said, "Young people are so quick-witted, it's us who are a bit pedantic. Yes, since our relationship has reached this stage, there's no need to fight to the death, why can't we cooperate when there's a suitable opportunity? It's good for everyone. "
Dugu Jing tried to ask, "Master, are you saying that we should agree to establish a direct channel of communication with him?"
Yu Cang stopped and looked up at the roof beam, sighing, "In the end, he still wants to stabilize us! But from another point of view, he is indeed a capable young man, idiots don't have the qualifications to cooperate with us … Establishing a direct channel of communication doesn't seem to be bad for us, don't you think? "He turned back and looked at Dugu Jing.
Dugu Jing nodded, "Alright, this disciple will arrange it right away!"
Yu Cang said, "This kid is a smart person, it's good to have dealings with this kind of person, he's valuable, but it also means great danger, we need to arrange it carefully, this kid is very cunning, don't let him touch us."
"Understood." Dugu Jing agreed, "This disciple will arrange it carefully."
After saying that, even his heart was filled with emotions. It turned out that a guy that he didn't even look up to was now being treated with great care and attention.
Just from the fact that he made them suffer a great loss, he was still able to turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk.
… …
The setting sun was infinitely beautiful, but it was almost dusk, the entire Capital of Qi was shrouded in a yellow haze.
In the depths of the dungeon, a burly eunuch appeared at the entrance of a cell, standing with his legs crossed. It was the person who had captured Linghu Qiu.
Lying on the straw pile in the dungeon was Linghu Qiu, who was shackled with shackles on his hands and feet. His hair was disheveled, his face was dirty, his clothes were ragged, and there were many scars on his body.
The burly eunuch tilted his head and gestured. Immediately, someone came forward to open the dungeon door. After entering, they unlocked the shackles on Linghu Qiu's hands and feet. The thick iron chains were thrown to the side, making a lot of noise.
Linghu Qiu was carried out.
The burly eunuch turned around and left, with Linghu Qiu dragging behind him.
As soon as he came out of the dungeon, Linghu Qiu quickly closed his eyes. He hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and the light was dazzling.
When he got used to it, he heard two familiar voices. "Mister!"
He slowly opened his eyes and saw two women with disheveled hair and dirty faces. He could recognize that they were Hong Xiu and Hong Fu, the two women couldn't hold back their tears.
The burly eunuch waved his hand and gestured.
Immediately, someone came forward and poked the three of them several times, instantly removing the restrictions on their bodies.
The transcendence energy in their bodies suddenly started to circulate, causing the weak master and servants to instantly regain their spirits. The three of them couldn't help but let out a light sigh of relief. It felt so good!
Linghu Qiu clenched his fists and loosened them. He looked at the burly eunuch, a little confused.
The burly eunuch said in a deep voice, "You can leave now. Linghu Qiu, the higher-ups asked me to inform you that your sworn brother, Niu Youdao, is protecting you! "
Linghu Qiu found it hard to believe. "He's protecting me?"
The burly eunuch said, "This place doesn't keep guests. If you don't leave now, then don't leave. Pick up your clothes and scram immediately! "
The cultivators on the left and right glared at him coldly, like tigers eyeing their prey.
Linghu Qiu pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything more. He turned around and called out to Hong Xiu and Hong Fu to leave together.
This place was obviously inside a military camp. There were teams of armored soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The three of them walked out of the military camp's gate and found that the people passing by outside were looking at them as if they were looking at monsters.
The three of them looked at themselves and understood. Their hair was unkempt, their faces dirty, and their clothes were ragged. It was obvious that they had been tortured, and they were barefooted.
Fortunately, this place was relatively remote, so there weren't many people coming and going.
"He's not protecting us. He's obviously trying to kill us." Linghu Qiu looked up to the sky and laughed bitterly.
He knew too well what kind of organization Waning Moon Pavilion was. They had fallen into the hands of the Qi Kingdom's imperial court, and the court had released them for no reason. Would the organization believe them if they said they didn't betray the organization? Just because their identities had been exposed and they knew some of the organization's secrets, Waning Moon Pavilion wouldn't let them go.
Hong Xiu and Hong Fu subconsciously looked around in fear. The two of them understood what he meant.
At this moment, a child ran over and stood in front of him. His clear eyes flashed and he asked in a childish voice, "Are you Linghu Qiu?"
Linghu Qiu looked at him and hesitated for a moment before answering, "That's me."
The child handed over a letter with both hands. "Niu Youdao asked me to give this letter to you."
Linghu Qiu took the letter, and the child immediately turned around and ran away.
Linghu Qiu looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious. He carefully opened the letter, and it was obvious that he was on guard. After confirming that nothing was out of the ordinary, he pulled out the letter and opened it.
He saw that it was written:
