Feng Lingbo and his wife sunk into silence. Shang Chaozong wanted to marry 'Chi Cheng', the other party had already said it clearly. It wasn't because he liked her, but because he could use the power here to exchange for a chance of survival. It was just that his daughter was one of the important generals that they relied on, so it seemed a little inappropriate to marry her off so easily. But then again, if it was really as the other party said, and they could use the 100,000 Crow Generals as leverage, the pressure that the imperial court had on them would definitely be reduced, and it would be fine for his daughter to marry off.
"You are a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, and your reputation is not much better than King Ning's. Whether you accept Shang Chaozong or not is another matter, but I don't think it is necessary to provide you with protection, do I?"
Bai Yao, who was leaning against the pillar at the back, suddenly said casually, "General.
Niu Youdao tilted his head to take a look, and casually said, "I have been expelled from the Shangqing Sect, and I have nothing to do with the Shanghai Sect!"
Everyone present was stunned. Other things could be said carelessly, but in the world of cultivation, if one were to break away from the sect like this, it would be suspected of deceiving one's master and destroying one's ancestors, but no one dared to say it carelessly. Could it be that Song Yanqing's assassination had something to do with this?
Bai Yao slowly emphasized once more, "My Heavenly Jade School does not wish to get involved in the matter between you and the Song family." His words were still the same as before. There was no need for Heavenly Jade School to protect him, so he should pray for his own good fortune.
Niu Youdao did not take it seriously. What a joke. When he bade farewell to Shang Chaozong and the others at Nanshan Temple, he had mentioned the Song family's revenge. He said he would solve the problem himself. Now that he had come here, how could he let it go to waste? Facing Feng Lingbo, he smiled and said: "I forgot to tell Governor, my master's name is Dongguo Haoran, and I'm the only remaining disciple under him. The matter of King Ning refining a hundred thousand crow generals was done by my master, and as for the matter of finding those hundred thousand crow generals, perhaps I can help! If you don't need my help, I will leave on my own and won't disturb you! "The meaning behind his words was' do as you see fit '.
This guy is Dongguo Haoran's disciple? Everyone was speechless. If that was true, then it was possible. The relationship between King Ning and Dongguo Haoran was not a secret.
Bai Yao slowly closed his eyes. He was rendered speechless.
Feng Lingbo asked curiously, "Let's not talk about Shang Chaozong's character, Shang Chaozong's current situation is not a wise leader, why are you working so hard to follow him?"
Niu Youdao's expression did not change as he replied: "Recognize a hero, respect a real man!" It seemed to be a reply to Feng Ruo Nan's earlier words of persuasion.
Feng Lingbo snorted coldly and said, "I understand Shang Chaozong a little, although he's not a coward, but he's not as good as his father, otherwise he wouldn't have been tricked and thrown into prison. Such a scheme, the person who asked you to be the lobbyist, is it Luo Shaofu's disciple, Lan Ruoting? "
Luo Shaofu was Lan Ruoting's teacher, King Ning's confidant, and also the number one strategist under King Ning. King Ning was able to hold on for so many years without collapsing, Luo Shaofu's credit was the greatest, and his name was known by the whole world.
Niu Youdao was originally a person who didn't like to be in the limelight, and wouldn't be willing to show off even in times of peace. Why would he bother to do so in these troubled times? He immediately nodded and said, "I don't dare to hide it. It is indeed Mister Lan's suggestion!"
"Lan Ruoting … a great teacher produces a great disciple!" Feng Lingbo sighed with some emotion, and looked at Niu Youdao and asked, "Are you willing to serve under me?" He was a little interested. He wasn't blind, the other's glib tongue in this hall could be considered a skill, and could be considered a talent.
His eyes glanced at Yuan Gang, and he found that Shang Chaozong had quite a few capable people under him. There was the glib talker Niu Youdao, the strategist Lan Ruoting, and that Yuan Gang wasn't bad either. He didn't know if there were others, but he was rather looking forward to it. If he could really bring Shang Chaozong's group in, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Niu Youdao said with a smile, "The Prefect and the Junwang will be one family in the future. Serving the Junwang is naturally serving the Prefect, there's no difference. In the future, if there are any orders, who would dare to disobey?" He made it seem as if Shang Chaozong had already married Feng Ruonan.
Peng Yulan couldn't help but scold, "What a glib tongue!"
Niu Youdao responded with a smile, and cupped his hands again, "Madam overpraises me, but I sincerely hope that Madam will soon become the Wangfei's mother!" He looked at Feng Lingbo again, waiting for a definite reply.
The word 'Wangfei' made Peng Yulan's heart flutter again, but her emotions were abnormally complicated, marrying a daughter like this seemed …
"Let me consider this matter again!" Feng Lingbo muttered to herself Slowly.
Now that things had reached this stage, and Feng Lingbo's attitude was so amicable, Niu Youdao knew that this matter was already in the bag, but this matter was of great importance, and Feng Lingbo couldn't make the decision on his own. He would probably have to consult the Heavenly Jade Sect behind him.
Niu Youdao didn't embarrass him, and reminded, "There's something I need to remind the Prefect, the Junwang is still waiting for news at Nanshan Temple, and with such a huge commotion over here, the people from the Imperial Court might have already received the news and reported it. It's hard to say if there aren't any cultivator experts from the Imperial Court keeping an eye on the Junwang along the way. If this drags on, the Junwang will be in danger. Regardless of whether the Prefect agrees or not, I hope that the Prefect can send people to receive him, so that the Junwang will not be harmed! "
These words made Feng Lingbo and Peng Yulan's expressions turn solemn.
Peng Yulan: "Serves you right! Who asked you to make such a huge commotion? "
Niu Youdao thought to himself, if we don't make it known to everyone, and let people know that Shang Chaozong married Feng Ruonan and borrowed the power of Guangyi Prefecture, how can the Imperial Court be afraid? What if you secretly control us here, wouldn't there be more problems? Naturally, we have to first cut off any improper thoughts that you might have.
He could only laugh it off, and continue to urge, "We can't delay the Junwang's matter any longer, the situation might change if we delay!"
Feng Lingbo immediately looked at the old man who had just returned, and said in a low voice, "Shounian, personally bring a few experts to Nanshan Temple to receive him, the rest of the reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Niu Youdao looked at the old man who had just made a move on Yuan Gang, and remembered his name in his heart!
"Yes!" The old man acknowledged, and turned to walk out with large strides. When he reached the door, he opened his hand, and a treasured sword appeared out of nowhere. With a clap, he caught it, and the aura of his entire back changed. He no longer looked like a respectful old servant.
Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes. It looked like there were quite a few experts in this governor's manor, and any old servant was not simple.
However, it was understandable. If not for this, Feng Lingbo would have long been killed by the people of the Imperial Court.
When they exited from the side door, there were already four black-robed men following behind Shounian, and the five of them rode off together.
Once they exited the city gates, the five of them immediately sped up on their horses, galloping wildly. With Shounian in front of them, their sleeves fluttered in the wind, and their clothes fluttered in the wind.
Not long after the five of them left the city, five hundred cavalrymen galloped out, galloping in the same direction.
The five people in front had exchanged mounts at the relay stations along the way, but the five hundred cavalrymen behind definitely did not have that many mounts at the relay stations. It was obvious that they would not be able to catch up.
Not long after, another cavalryman left the city. It was a personal guard that Niu Youdao had sent ahead to report the news. Shang Chaozong did not know anything about it, and he was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened …
The people of Guangyi Prefecture City were discussing the matter of Feng Ruonan marrying Shang Chaozong.
The governor's manor had already sent a message to the Heavenly Jade Sect, and they were quietly awaiting their reply.
In the study, candlelight flickered as Feng Lingbo paced back and forth. She asked thoughtfully, "Madam, do you think the Heavenly Jade Sect will agree?"
Peng Yulan, who was sitting at the side, put down the teacup in her hand. "What Niu Youdao said is completely reasonable. The Heavenly Jade Sect has no reason to miss the opportunity to strengthen themselves. This matter is completely worth the Heavenly Jade Sect's efforts in secret. There shouldn't be any accidents."
"I think so too, but as for Ruonan …" Before Feng Lingbo could finish her sentence, a servant came in from outside and handed her a secret letter.
Feng Lingbo took the letter and read it. She sneered and turned to the servant. "Send a message to the people in the capital. Tell them to lie low for the time being."
"Yes!" The servant acknowledged and left.
Peng Yulan stood up and walked over. "What happened in the capital?"
"Wang Heng! Niu Youdao killed his son-in-law. What else can they do? "Feng Lingbo passed the secret letter to her.
Peng Yulan took over and read it. The content was that Wang Heng hoped that Feng Lingbo would help detain Niu Youdao and bring him to the capital. He said that he owed Feng Lingbo a favor.
Compared to the hundred thousand Crow Generals, Wang Heng's favor was insignificant. Peng Yulan knew her husband's attitude when Feng Lingbo told the people in the capital to lie low. She asked, "How do we reply to Wang Heng?"
"The wedding has caused such a huge commotion. Wang Heng will know about it soon. Is there a need to reply?" Feng Lingbo waved her hand and didn't mention this matter. Instead, she sighed. "Ruonan isn't young anymore. She should have married a long time ago. This matter has become a sore point for me. However, she doesn't like anyone. How can there be a perfect man in this world? At the end of the day, I'm still a little ashamed of my own inferiority. I'm just pretending to be brave on the surface. As for Ruonan's side, we still need you as her mother to persuade her. You women are easy to talk to. Be patient. Talk to her clearly … Sigh. To be honest, marrying Ruonan like this is indeed a little inappropriate. But then again, after Shang Chaozong attaches himself to us, he will have to listen to us. It's better than marrying someone we can't control. We can rest assured if our daughter marries him. At least she won't suffer any losses. Talk to her properly. "
"Sigh!" Peng Yulan sighed and nodded. She knew clearly that if the Heavenly Jade Sect really made the decision, her daughter would have no choice but to agree.
Speaking of which, her daughter was too valiant. In addition, her appearance wasn't very charming. Normal men wouldn't dare to marry her. As the years dragged on, she had long passed the marriageable age. She was also very anxious. Even though she knew that Niu Youdao was a glib talker, when she thought about it carefully, what he said wasn't unreasonable. There was nothing wrong with marrying Shang Chaozong. Her daughter didn't want to get married. Once she did, she would become a princess. This result couldn't be any better. She had nothing to be dissatisfied about. She could completely understand Shang Chaozong's demands. There were some things that she was well aware of. Based on her daughter's appearance, personality, and temper, the men who were truly willing to marry her were probably because of the Feng Clan's background. It was the same for Shang Chaozong.
