Chapter 28 Do You Have Supper?

After some exchanges, Yuan Fang resigned, and Song Yanqing sent Xu Yitian to accompany him, in fact, to watch over her and not let Yuan Fang run away. For Song Yanqing, whether Yuan Fang would accept the recruitment was another matter, at least he couldn't let Yuan Fang spoil his good deeds, and he wanted to control the Nanshan Temple in his own hands for the time being.

After Yuan Fang left, Song Yanqing couldn't help laughing and cursing, "This bear demon is interesting."

Chen Guishuo approached him, blinked, and said: "Bear, golden hair, hair is invulnerable! Brother, do you have any impression?"

Song Yanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slightly: "As soon as he took off his clothes to reveal his golden hair, I could tell. The golden king bear in the book of strange beasts, the armor woven with its hair has strong defensive power, which is very rare. We actually met him here. Looking at him like that, he probably has no contact with people in the cultivation world, otherwise how would he dare to expose himself so easily with such a weak cultivation base. Don't worry, we will talk about the future, let's see him If you don’t know what to do, do what you need to do first.”

Chen Guishuo said "Yes", and found that this bear demon was also considered to be very lucky. If he hadn't successfully transformed into a golden retriever to resist, he might have been slaughtered by them at the beginning of the attack.

Afterwards, Chen Guishuo accompanied Song Yanqing to walk around Nanshan Temple to observe the environment for preparation.

After the three of them left Shang Qingzong, they drove almost non-stop all the way, just for the early arrangement. This journey benefited from Song Yanqing's background, and they could find post stations along the way to change horses, otherwise the three people's mounts would not be able to withstand such a journey...

The bright moon shines on the river, and there are tents on the riverside, and the rolling waves of the river reflect the moon.

A gazebo on the bank of the river looked dilapidated, and Shang Dynasty Zong leaned on the railing with his hands behind his back to look at the moonlight on the river.

Lan Ruoting came from not far away, walked into the pavilion slowly, and asked, "Does the lord have something on his mind about Jiang Mian?"

Shang Chaozong sighed softly, "Although I am full of confidence to boost my morale, we know our situation well. We don't have powerful mages around us to protect us, so we don't know if we can reach the fief safely. After passing Guangyi County, we are not far from Cangwu County. I'm getting more and more worried towards the end."

Lan Ruoting comforted: "Don't worry, my lord. Before we get the hundred thousand crow generals, there won't be too much risk on our journey, and we should arrive safely. I'm worried about the fief. The court may have done it beforehand." Prepare."

Shang Chaozong turned his head and said, "I'm thinking, under the current situation, is it necessary for us to go to Cangwu County?"

Lan Ruoting looked solemn, waved his hands again and again and said: "My lord, absolutely not, there must be eyeliners arranged by the imperial court along the way. If we go honestly, we can still be safe. If we lose control and deviate from the direction, I am afraid that people will be provoked immediately." Hunting down. In addition, the subordinates tried their best in the capital to plan and push them to set the place of exile of the prince in Cangwu County for no reason. When the late king was alive, Cangwu County was prepared to have a family. The last hope, we don't have any available resources, so don't give up!"

Shang Chaozong silently nodded and said, "I hope I can give an explanation to these brothers who swear to follow!"

At this moment, Guan Tie, one of the five centurions, came striding forward, followed by a gray-haired old man with a limp.

The two entered the pavilion one after the other, and Guan Tie clasped his fists to report, "My lord, Uncle Fang is here."

The white-haired old man knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said with trembling voice: "The villain Fang Ping sees the little prince... no, sees the prince!"

"Uncle Fang, please get up quickly!" Shang Chaozong rushed forward and helped the old man up with his own hands.

This old man was originally a member of Ning King Shang Jianbo's army, but he was injured on the battlefield and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he retired and returned to his hometown, where he lived in this area.

When he stood up, Lan Ruoting asked, "Fang Ping, are you ready for the tools for crossing the river that I sent someone to prepare?"

Fang Ping shook his head in shame and said: "The villain is incompetent, so far he has only prepared a few rafts."

Lan Ruoting frowned, "Dozens of people, these days only prepared a few wooden rafts, what's the matter?" Back then Shang Jianbo released some soldiers to retire, and it was not for nothing that they placed them in this area, just in case needs.

Fang Ping sighed: "Mr. Lan doesn't know something. After Feng Lingbo, the prefect of Guangyi County, supported his troops, he had several conflicts with the imperial army, which inevitably affected the nearby villages. In addition, the young and strong were forced to serve as soldiers. Half of the people died, and the other half were captured by Feng Lingbo's people, it's unknown if he was dead or alive, but the villain was too old, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so people looked down on him, so he escaped the catastrophe."

Lan Ruoting fell into silence.

"That's it! Uncle Fang, don't worry too much, it's no fault of you." Shang Chaozong comforted him, then turned his head and pointed along the upper reaches of the river, "If I remember correctly, there is a bridge in the narrow part of the upper river. Let's take a long way around."

Lan Ruoting smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know. His subordinates have paid attention to several conflicts between Feng Lingbo and the imperial army. In order to prevent the imperial army from attacking, all the ships along the river were controlled by Feng Lingbo. All the bridges to and fro were destroyed by Feng Lingbo. If we really wanted to take a long detour, we would have to detour at least 800 miles away. We people might not be able to make the detour in a few days. The gain outweighs the loss, it is better to cross the river with Zhamu Pai!"

Zong Lue of the Shang Dynasty thought for a while, and then said decisively: "In that case, cut the wood after dawn!"

The matter was settled like this, Guan Tiegang sent Fang Ping away to rest, Shang Shuqing, who was wearing a gauze hat, came with Gu Guqin in her arms, followed by several people carrying food boxes.

Looking at her situation, Shang Chaozong couldn't help saying happily: "Qing'er, it seems that she has a taste for elegance."

Shang Shuqing shook her head and said: "Brother, I'm afraid those two don't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with us. It's such a beautiful day, why don't you invite us to have a few drinks. Qing'er is willing to play the piano for everyone. If you are interested, maybe it will solve the knot in your heart .”

Shang Chaozong hesitated and said: "I want you to play the piano for fun? The majestic princess is so condescending, Qing'er, do you value them too much?"

Shang Shuqing said: "Brother, it's not shameful to be courteous to a virtuous corporal. Even if the other party is not a virtuous man, we are in such a state, how can we talk about condescending or not, it should be treated as a guest, and there is nothing wrong with it. If the other party is really a sage, it would be even better to get his help. Brother, in our situation, we are not afraid of making more friends, but we are afraid of not having friends. Let’s take a step back and say that it’s good to get together and get away without one enemy. What do you think? ?”

Lan Ruoting secretly sighed in his heart, this princess is extremely intelligent, and has a heart that is unmatched by a man, but it's a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise she can accomplish a lot!

"It's my shallow eyelids, I'm taught!" Shang Chaozong cupped his hands sincerely, as if being taught, which made Shang Shuqing giggle.

Shang Chaozong also smiled, turned his head and nodded to Lan Ruoting, motioning him to invite him.

Unexpectedly, Shang Shuqing said: "Let's invite them together, it seems to be more sincere."

Shang Chaozong nodded, "Alright!"

So Shang Shuqing set up the guqin, and ordered the soldiers to set up the food and wine, and then went with Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting.

The three of them found the tent where Niu Youdao was resting, and just approached, Shang Chaozong, who was walking in front, paused, feeling something tripped on his feet.

This side has not yet realized what is going on, a figure has turned out from under the curtain, Yuan Gang's strong body suddenly appeared and blocked the outside, a dagger was held upside down behind his wrist, staring at the three of them covetously .

Both Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting noticed the abnormality of Shang Chaozong, and looked along his feet, only to find that Shang Chaozong tripped over a silk thread.

The three of them couldn't help looking at each other. Someone had quietly set up an early warning device in the shallow grass. Once someone approached the tent, they would be spotted by the people inside the tent. The former Niu Youdao would not do this thing around the tent. They had come into contact with it earlier and didn't realize it. Needless to say who arranged this device, the three of them looked at Yuan Gang together.

Shang Chaozong looked at Yuan Gang with more and more interest in his eyes. With so many people under his command staring at him, no one noticed that Yuan Gang had secretly tampered with it.

Seeing that it was them, Yuan Gang's voice was as cold as his face, "What's the matter?"

Shang Dynasty Zong said: "I have been traveling all the way, and the hospitality is not good. It is rare to meet such a beautiful day like today. I prepare a little wine and food by the river. Please invite Master and Brother Yuan to have a few drinks together!"

Yuan Gang said coldly: "No need, the mage is already asleep!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had stumbled on their noses, but a Niu Youdao voice suddenly came out of the tent, "Is there any supper?"

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Niu Youdao got out, brushed the ponytail that was crooked on his shoulders, looked at the three of them, his eyes flickered, and added cheerfully: "Is there any supper?"

"Ye... supper? Oh, there is supper, and it's in the pavilion by the river, please let the mage appreciate it!" Shang Chaozong stretched out his hand to invite.

Niu Youdao looked towards the pavilion by the river with his head full, then turned back and asked Yuan Gang: "Are you hungry? If you're not hungry, I'll go to bed with you." After that, he replied to Shang Chaozong: "If you have work, you have work. please!"

Several people turned around and left, Yuan Gang flashed back into the tent.

The three of Shang Chaozong thought that Yuan Gang had really gone back to sleep, but Yuan Gang quickly appeared again, with an extra sword in his hand, which was Niu Youdao's portable sword. He didn't say whether he was hungry or not, and followed Niu Youdao silently, his eyes vigilantly watching the surroundings.

When he arrived at the pavilion by the river, Niu Youdao swayed back and forth for a while, and finally stopped to lean on the railing, looked at Mingyue Jiangbo, and sighed, "It is indeed a beautiful day!"

"Master, please sit down!" Shang Chaozong stood in his seat and warmly invited.

Niu Youdao took his seat with a smile on his face, and Lan Ruoting also took his seat as a foil. On the contrary, Yuan Gang didn't mean that, and held his sword behind Niu Youdao.

"Brother Yuan, please!" Shang Chaozong gestured with his hand.

Yuan Gang said coldly: "Not hungry!" He didn't give any face, which made Shang Chaozong a little embarrassed.

But Niu Youdao helped him out and said: "He is just such a person, single-minded, unsophisticated, I don't know how many times I have told him, but it is still useless, the prince don't care about him."
