Situ Yao couldn't help but ponder. After thinking about it, this method really didn't have any problems, so he agreed.
The two discussed the details. After they were done, Niu Youdao stood up and said goodbye. "Recently, I've been pacifying the people of Jinzhou. Sect Master Situ has a lot of things to do, so I won't disturb you."
They all looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact, they had a lot of things to worry about in secret.
After leaving here, Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi left the Provincial Governor's Office and openly wandered the streets, strolling all the way to the courtyard in charge of Nanzhou's liaison in the prefectural city.
When they arrived and saw Old Zhu, Niu Youdao casually asked, "How is he?"
Old Zhu replied, "He's been shouting to see you every day."
"Then let's see him." Niu Youdao waved his hand, indicating for him to lead the way.
When they arrived at the room where the prisoner was locked up, they saw Chao Shenghuai still tied to the beam when the door was pushed open.
Hearing the commotion, Chao Shenghuai looked up. When he saw Niu Youdao, he immediately whimpered non-stop.
Afraid that he would be noisy, he even put a restriction on his ability to speak.
Niu Youdao exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?" He turned around and scolded Old Zhu, "I told you to properly settle the guest, and this is how you do it?"
Old Zhu cooperated and repeatedly apologized, "Daoye, I was just afraid that he wouldn't know what's good for him."
Niu Youdao angrily rebuked, "Why haven't you released him yet?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Zhu repeatedly answered and hurriedly untied Chao Shenghuai tied to the beam.
After being tied for so long, Chao Shenghuai's hands and feet were already numb. Once the rope was loosened, he immediately knelt down.
Niu Youdao was greatly surprised, "Brother Chao, you and I are brothers, why do we have to be so courteous?"
Guan Fangyi turned her head to the side, stifling her laughter. She found that this guy was too evil.
Old Zhu also couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Chao Shenghuai knelt there, unable to get up. He was suffering but couldn't say anything.
Niu Youdao reached out his hand and helped him up. He dragged him to a chair at the side and sat him down. Niu Youdao unlocked the restriction on his voice but did not remove the restriction on his mana.
For a moment, Chao Shenghuai's limbs were numb and it was hard for him to move. He sat on the chair as if paralyzed. It was really because he had been tied up for too long that he didn't have any blood circulation. He first coughed and cleared his throat, saying angrily, "Niu Youdao, what do you mean?"
Niu Youdao waved his sleeves. After Guan Fangyi and Old Zhu left, he sighed and said, "Brother Chao, don't misunderstand. You came to my house and threatened me the moment you opened your mouth. My subordinates might not have controlled their emotions well and neglected Brother Chao. I apologize to Brother Chao here. Today, I found out that these guys are doing things behind my back that I don't know about. Oh, by the way, I told them to bring Brother Chao one million gold coins, did Brother Chao receive it? We have to verify this so that they won't slander us. "
Chao Shenghuai was furious. "Stop pretending. I've received the money. Where is he?"
Niu Youdao: "Who?"
Chao Shenghuai gritted his teeth and said, "Where are my four fellow disciples? If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse! "
Niu Youdao replied, "You're talking about your four fellow disciples. Speaking of this, I still want to ask you. I'm also curious. My subordinates said that they had an appointment with you. But after waiting for a whole night, they didn't show up. They thought that you didn't show up. They were afraid that something bad might happen. So, they didn't dare to stay for long and left first. "
"They didn't show up?" Chao Shenghuai was stunned. He muttered in his heart, what's going on?
In the end, he saw that Niu Youdao didn't seem to care at all. He was calmly looking around the room, as if he wasn't afraid that the four of them would expose the fact that they stole the Black Jade Condor from the Wan Shou Faction. Chao Shenghuai suddenly reacted and said angrily, "Niu Youdao, how dare you trick me? Let me tell you, don't even think about using this against me forever. I've already left a will in the Wan Shou Faction. If I don't return at the appointed time, what happened between us will be exposed. You have to give me an explanation today! "
Niu Youdao who was looking around slowly turned his head and looked at Chao Shenghuai. He had a meaningful smile on his face and asked, "Brother Chao, do you really want to die?"
Chao Shenghuai's sword was already out of its scabbard. The blade of the sword was rubbing against the scabbard as he slowly pulled it out.
Chao Shenghuai's heart started beating faster. He swallowed his saliva and became nervous. He warned Chao Shenghuai again, "If I die, everything will be exposed. The Wan Shou Faction will never forgive you!"
Swoosh! The sword suddenly returned to its scabbard. Niu Youdao held the sword with both hands and said, "Wan Shou Faction? Are you trying to scare me with the Wan Shou Faction? Do you think I'm afraid of the Wan Shou Faction? If I'm really afraid, do you think I would still dare to cause trouble in the Wan Shou Faction? If I'm really afraid, I'll kill you in the illusion world. That would be the end of everything! Besides, what exposure? What have I done? Why would I be afraid of exposure? "
Chao Shenghuai said, "I'm afraid you have no choice but to admit it! Don't forget that you've exposed more than one flying beast outside the Wan Shou Faction's mountain gate. There are more than a few people who know that you suddenly have a flying beast as your mount. Five Black Jade Condors is not a small number. This is not something you can explain. The Wan Shou Faction will never forgive you! "
"Haha!" Niu Youdao laughed and shook his head. Five? Explain? Explain what? Do I need to worry about how to explain? He has a bunch of flying beasts in his house. He can explain however he wants.
If it was before, he wouldn't have dared to do something like this. But it's different now.
There's no such thing as an unchanging situation. Things are always changing. He has been adjusting his plans according to the situation. As the leader of the faction, there's nothing he can do about it. He has to worry about it.
In short, he realized that Niu Youdao was a funny guy. As a disciple of the faction, he knew that what he did was not tolerated by the faction. He knew that it would be hard for him to borrow the faction's power. He knew that he, Niu Youdao, had a lot of power. But he still dared to jump out and threaten him?
Isn't he overestimating his own abilities? Did he stay in the Wan Shou Faction for too long? Did he think that the Wan Shou Faction was in charge?
Did he think that he was in the Wan Shou Faction and that he could use his background to do whatever he wanted?
He didn't need to mention this. He laughed and sighed. "Brother Chao, you're right. How about this? You help me with one more thing and we'll let this matter go."
Chao Shenghuai, who had recovered a little, sat up straight and said angrily, "Don't try to threaten me. At worst, we'll die together!"
Niu Youdao sneered and said, "Brother Chao, you might not know about the situation outside. The Yan Imperial Court is going to attack the Southern Prefecture. The Southern Prefecture is going to be destroyed. I'm going to lose my life. Anyway, I'm either going to die or I'm going to escape. What's the point of threatening me? Brother Chao, I'll die together with you. If you don't believe me, I'll let you go. You can ask around yourself. "
"…" Chao Shenghuai was speechless. Really? He really didn't know about the situation outside. Wasn't he being kidnapped?
Niu Youdao sighed and said, "Brother Chao, it's like this. As long as we can get through this, I'll cherish my life. I don't want to die. I don't want to cause trouble for those four people. As long as you can help me get through this, I'll definitely find those four people. I'll hand them over to you. That way, you'll be able to see them alive and their corpses. I don't have any evidence to threaten you anymore. You'll be safe. "
Chao Shenghuai said angrily, "Don't give me that!"
Niu Youdao pretended that he didn't hear him and continued, "If you don't want to help me, I don't have a way out. It doesn't matter whether the Yan Imperial Court or the Wan Shou Sect takes care of me. Before I get into trouble, I'll definitely let the Wan Shou Sect find those four people. Brother Chao doesn't need to threaten me. I'll let the Wan Shou Sect know what's going on. I'll also drag your grandfather down with me. "
"There's one thing I need to clarify. It's just a small favor from Brother Chao. There won't be any danger. Alright, that's all I have to say. Brother Chao, think about it carefully. Once you've thought it through, you can tell the people here. I want an answer before the sky turns dark. It's too late. Brother Chao, prepare your own coffin! "Niu Youdao said and left.
"Niu Youdao!" Chao Shenghuai stood up angrily. He couldn't circulate his Qi to clear his meridians. His legs were still numb and he fell back down.
Niu Youdao couldn't be bothered with him. He walked out of the door and came to the courtyard. He said to Zhu Laoba, "Let him go."
Zhu Laoba was surprised. "Let him go just like that?"
"Don't worry. He'll be back before the sky turns dark. Let's go! " Niu Youdao said and signaled to Guan Fangyi. Both of them left the place and returned to the Provincial Governor's Mansion.
… …
Jinzhou Prefecture? Chao Shenghuai, who had disguised himself, wandered the bustling streets. He didn't expect that he would be kidnapped and brought here.
The most important thing was that the situation was tense. Even the street peddlers were whispering to each other.
It wasn't hard to find out if what Niu Youdao said was true or false. What Hai Ruyue was poisoned? What Zhao State wanted to attack Jinzhou? What Yan State wanted to attack Nanzhou?
It turned out that Niu Youdao wasn't just scaring him. He was really forced into a desperate situation. It was really possible that he would drag Chao Shenghuai down with him.
Chao Shenghuai actually provoked this kind of person who could capsize at any time. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He was very depressed.
Before the sky turned dark, he returned to where he came from. He stood at the entrance and knocked on the courtyard's door.
The door opened. Zhu Laoba invited him in with a smile. He had been waiting.
The door closed. Chao Shenghuai gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want me to do?"
… …
The sky turned dark and the sky turned bright. Life was like this every day.
The Ghost Doctor's disciple, Wuxin, was about to leave. Li Wuhua rushed to Fragrant Pavilion to send him off.
He was also trying to persuade him to stay for a few more days. He was afraid that the mother and son's illness would relapse.
However, he couldn't make him stay. He had already made up his mind to leave.
Situ Yao and the others didn't go because the other party didn't appreciate his kindness and didn't want them to send him off.
The bird descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard. Wuxin walked over.
Li Wuhua hurriedly followed and asked, "Teacher, where are you going?"
Wuxin didn't return.
Li Wuhua hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that the mother and son's illness will relapse. It will ruin Teacher's reputation. If there's an accident, how should I contact Teacher?"
Wuxin stopped in front of the bird. He was silent for a while before replying, "It should be easy to find me in Qi Capital."
"Alright. Teacher, do you want me to send someone to escort you?" Li Wuhua said some nonsense.
Wuxin ignored him and jumped onto the bird's back. With a wave of his hand, the bird flew up and soared into the sky.
… …
Guan Fangyi knocked on the door and entered. She walked up to Niu Youdao who was meditating and said, "The Miracle Doctor's disciple left. He said he was going to Qi Capital."
