Chapter 371 Talents Are Hard to Come By!
Lan Ruoting said with a smile: "Master Dao is doing things well, since he said that the war horses are here, the 10,000 horses that the prince needs should not be less."
Shang Chaozong nodded again and again: "Not bad!"
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, "That's true. My lord, let's gather people and prepare!"
"Okay! Send the order down, the army is assembled!"
In another courtyard directly behind the Sheriff's Mansion, a group of high-level officials from Tianyumen looked at Peng Youzai, and Bai Yao, who came from the Sheriff's Mansion, handed over the letter brought from Shang Chaozong. superior.
Bai Yao said, Niu Youdao is back, and he brought his horse back!
Because of this, everyone who attracted them stared at Peng Youzai.
Peng couldn't tell the expression on his face again. After reading the secret letter, he was a little silent, and passed the secret letter to the next person, sighing, "Let's take a look."
There is not much content in the secret letter, and it can be read in just one or two glances.
Everyone looked at it one by one, and they were silent one by one, or some people were surprised.
Feng Entai was the one who scratched his head the most. He made a sworn brother, and the youngest in his family did a good job.
Peng glanced at everyone again, probably no one expected that Niu Youdao was detained during the day, and then received a summons from Niu Youdao at night, that he was coming back, it was too coincidental.
Chen Tingxiu suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Feng, you are his nominal sworn brother after all, you have been by his side for so long, you have never heard anything about him getting a horse?"
Feng Entai wondered: "It's not that I didn't hear anything about it, but that he didn't reveal it to me at all."
Chen Tingxiu: "We, Tianyumen, are willing to help him do this kind of thing, but drive our people back instead. What does Niu Youdao mean? Does he not trust our Tianyumen? Can you ruin yourself?"
Feng Entai smiled wryly: "Perhaps it's because our side has repeatedly contradicted what we said, which made him not believe it."
Chen Tingxiu frowned, "Junior Brother Feng, why do I feel that you have an opinion on the decision of the head of the sect?"
Feng Entai: "Senior Brother Chen, don't label me indiscriminately, I'm just standing in his position to compare my heart..."
"Okay, stop arguing." Peng interrupted again, stood up, and sighed: "I've settled the matter without making a sound, I have to obey, but unfortunately I am not a disciple of Tianyumen. It's a pity that those disciples who were killed in Qi State because of this matter, if they knew this, they should have let this guy go to Qi State to handle this matter from the beginning."
Everyone was silent, who would have thought of this? Before Niu Youdao went, who could guarantee that it would be done? Wasn't there really no other way, and the plan to get a share of the drink was the reason why that guy went? Everyone is well aware of this.
"It's a good thing that the war horse is here. If we can't come here and have an accident, we happen to be in Qingshan County. We don't look good when something happens under our noses. It will be difficult to get a war horse later. Take the here Let's arrange the manpower intensively, and let's go to welcome our hero!" Peng waved his hand again.
Feng Entai cupped his hands and said, "Master, his people are still in our hands, what should we do?"
Speaking of this matter, Peng Youzai could only smile wryly and shake his head, since Yuan Fang and others have not been forced to hand over the secret recipe yet.
At any rate, Tianyumen also claims to be a famous and upright school, and it is inevitable to use means for profit, but what they did under the watchful eyes of the public, it is unreasonable to say nothing, it is unjustifiable, and it is agreed to give ten days, and it has not been forced. The monk confided the secret recipe.
Temporary persecution is meaningless.
"The war horse hasn't arrived yet, wait until it's confirmed!" Peng gave his final opinion.
Feng Entai: "Master, will this matter cause Niu Youdao to turn his face?"
Peng Youzai: "You think too much, that kid is a smart person, and he still needs Tianyumen to shield him from the wind and rain, otherwise the big profit will not be given to us, so that we won't turn our face for this little loss. With the current foundation, let him turn his face and give it a try!"
Soon, several factions assembled, together with a large number of Shang Chaozong's troops rushed to the seaside overnight.
Such a large-scale movement could not be concealed, and it also alarmed the spies hidden in Qingshan County from all sides, and news came out overnight...
The boat was rocking in the waves, and several golden wings from Qingshan County pierced the night sky and descended one after another. Qingshan County was finally able to contact this side.
Sitting by the lamp, Niu Youdao read the secret letters with his hand, threw them aside and groaned coldly, "Yumen really has a wicked heart this day!"
After picking it up and looking at it, Guan Fangyi complained, "What's the matter! Can you go back to Qingshan County? Don't trick me!"
Before this person arrived, there was a commotion in Qingshan County. Can you not worry about it?
Niu Youdao raised his chin out of the window and teased, "If you really don't want to go, I won't force you, there is still time to get off the boat and go!"
boom! Guan Fangyi slapped the table, raised eyebrows and raised eyes: "What do you mean, why did you go so early? Xiaoyue Pavilion was offended by my mother, and now you are going to drive her away. After using it, you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, don't you?"
Niu Youdao: "Then what are you talking about, I just ask you, will you come with me?"
boom! Guan Fangyi slapped the table and stood up, "I'll see how I feel!" She turned around and left with her hips twisted.
Niu Youdao shook his head and muttered, "I heard that many men held her up like a goddess in the early years, how many men must be blind."
Gongsun Bu couldn't help laughing beside him...
The seaside, the pier, are heavily guarded, the flags are flying, and the sea is flying.
The shore was empty, and all ships, large and small, were emptied to make room for the coming horse transport ships.
Shang Shuqing, Lei Zongkang, and Wu Sanliang were on the shore, looking at the surrounding sea from time to time, but Niu Youdao didn't say where they came from.
Lei Zongkang and Wu Santwo wandered around, while Shang Shuqing stood quietly looking at the sea, with a pair of bright eyes looking forward, her skirt fluttering in the wind, and the waves beat against the shore under her feet.
As for the others, they either rested in the station on the dock, stayed in the inn, or waited in the warehouse.
Niu Youdao did not say the exact time of arrival, only said that he would arrive today, and a group of people arrived here in the middle of the night, but there was no sign of anyone until dawn, and there was still no one after waiting half the morning. They found places to wait one after another, lest they all wait on the pier.
Lei Zongkang looked at the sun in the sky, walked up to Shang Shuqing and said: "Princess, the sun is very bright, why don't you go back to the house and rest, I will notify you immediately when the boat arrives."
After a whole night of traveling and traveling, Shang Shuqing looked tired, but her spirits looked good, she shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm not tired." Her bright eyes continued to look at the sea, and suddenly her eyes fixed.
I saw a person flying over the sea, it was a disciple of Liuxianzong who was visiting the sea, the person flew ashore and said loudly: "The boat is here."
Shang Shuqing hurriedly asked, "Where did it come from?"
The visitor pointed to the southwest direction.
Shang Shuqing immediately looked to the southwest, but couldn't see anything.
Boom boom boom boom...
Drums suddenly sounded fiercely on the pier, sending out a signal.
Soon, people in the post station, inn, and warehouse ran out one after another. Shang Chaozong, who was wearing a cloak, ran all the way to the shore and asked, "Where is the boat?"
"There is still a distance, and I can't see it yet." Someone replied and pointed in a direction.
The senior officials of the three factions arrived without haste, the senior officials of Tianyumen also came, Lan Ruoting and Meng Shanming who was sitting in a wheelchair also came, and they were all watching from the pier.
Shang Chaozong turned his head and shouted: "Burning smoke!"
With a few buzzing sounds, the braziers on several simple stilt buildings were lit, and thick smoke rose up, drifting with the wind, guiding the direction of the approaching ships.
Not long after, a shadow of sail appeared on the sea, and many ships were obviously coming.
As the ships on the sea got closer and closer, the big ships could already be seen clearly, but at that scale, the big ships were crowded towards this side.
Few people have ever seen such a magnificent sight.
Peng asked again, "My lord, how many war horses did you tell Niu Youdao to handle?"
Emperor Shang Dynasty: "Ten thousand horses!"
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said: "Looking at this scale, there may be four or five hundred large ships. It seems that ten thousand war horses can't use so many ships of this size."
Lan Ruoting said: "Master Dao is safe, maybe he is accompanying the supply ship just in case."
Everyone nodded slightly, thinking about it, it stands to reason that getting 10,000 war horses is already embarrassing enough, and it is unlikely that they will cause trouble for themselves.
To be precise, it was not a troublesome matter, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the more war horses were made, the greater the noise would be, which meant the greater the risk.
However, after seeing the momentum of this huge fleet approaching, everyone seemed to wake up a lot.
There is a difference between not seeing it and seeing it with your own eyes. At this moment, everyone understands that they have created such a large fleet and want to transport the war horses out of the country of Qi. They want to hide it from the eyes of many people. It takes a lot of energy and painstaking effort to prepare, just to manage these ships.
The top management of Tianyumen, you look at me, I look at you, I heard news that Niu Youdao was dawdling on the road, and he stayed in Qijing for a long time, so everyone still has ideas and criticisms.
At this moment, they thought they understood that Niu Youdao had been dawdling there for no reason, and they did not know how many detailed and thorough preparations they had made in secret.
Now no one would think that Niu Youdao wasted his time. The senior officials of Tianyumen thought it over and knew it well. It is almost impossible to quietly build such a huge fleet in such a short period of time, the difference between the abilities of the two sides is judged!
This time, they were really convinced!
Feng Entai was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Niu Youdao would make such a big fight right under his nose, and he didn't even know about it.
Peng exhaled softly again, and sighed: "This man has the right way, a rare talent!"
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, "Sect Leader Peng is right. The spies of various countries are not blind. With this fleet alone, I don't know how much effort and risk he took. Now I understand why he wants to cut off and All the contacts with the outside world are really unbearable! This matter is really too difficult for him!"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting, who were staring, were moved.
What she saw in front of her eyes and what she heard in her ears made Shang Shuqing's nose sour and her eyes flushed.
