Chapter 23 This Person Is Not Simple

Dong Guo Haoran's closed disciple? Shang and Lan were stunned, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Despite their doubts, before knowing the truth, the two still kept their restraint and etiquette and said: "Master Lao Lao."

After the politeness was over, Lan Ruoting said bluntly: "Forgive Lan for being rude, Lan and Mr. Dong Guo are also old friends. They know each other a little bit. Mr. Dong Guo's personal disciple Lan knows each other. He has never I heard that Mr. Dong Guo has a closed disciple named Niu Youdao."

Niu Youdao wasn't surprised by this at all. He could understand Tang Yi calling him his junior in front of outsiders. He didn't want outsiders to know his existence, so he smiled and said, "Some things are inconvenient to explain. There will be falsehoods, and the internal cause should be announced when there is a suitable opportunity."

Lan Ruoting glanced at Shang Shuqing meaningfully, he knew what kind of woman Shang Shuqing was, she was definitely not an ordinary foolish woman, and he didn't know what Shang Shuqing's intention was for inviting such a person.

Without saying much, the party continued on their way, but Niu Youdao felt that the other party didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about him, and was caught in the middle by the cavalry, as if he was guarding against him.

In fact, Shang and Lan had already guessed what Shang Qingzong was thinking, and they probably sent someone randomly to deal with the matter. At the same time, they were a little worried about Niu Youdao's problems, so they took precautions.

After getting away from Niu Youdao on the way, Shang Chaozong took the opportunity to ask Shang Shuqing, "Qing'er, have you ever asked Shang Qingzong to help remove the birthmark?"

After a while of silence, Shang Shuqing replied: "Brother Wang, there is really no need. Mr. Dong Guo's words are correct. It may not be a good thing to entertain people with sex in this troubled world, not to mention our current situation. If it's too decent, it might cause trouble for us, so what's wrong with being ugly!"

Lan Ruoting shook his head when he said this, there is no reason why women don't love beauty.

Shang Chaozong said solemnly: "You will marry sooner or later, you can't cover your face forever!"

Shang Shuqing: "Brother, I am not a plant, and I also yearn for the love of children, but I was born at an untimely time. In this troubled world, you and I are destined to draw swords and look around. The love of children is too extravagant. Brother, you really don't need to care about the look on my face." Birthmarks, ordinary people, I don’t like them. I pride myself on being a pearl covered in dust. If I can really meet someone who I don’t dislike, that’s the lover I really want. I will treat him like a pearl! Just wait, don't force yourself!" Galloping against the wind, the drape flutters.

Although the words were reasonable, Shang Chaozong didn't say a word, but his cheeks were tense, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. Generally, women are about to marry and have children at sixteen or seventy-eight. They only hate their incompetence for hurting their younger sister. An old girl who has become nearly twenty years old, and the current situation of the business, even if the younger sister doesn't have the birthmark on her face, who would dare to marry her younger sister? As a dignified princess, just find someone? He didn't want to treat his sister badly, and his father had repeatedly told him to take good care of his sister when he was still alive...

Traveling fast or slow along the way, changing horses in turn to give the horses a gap to recover their strength.

In the evening, they set up camp by a river to rest. Some people camped, some fetched water for a fire, some guarded them, and some took care of their horses.

There are tents and bonfires by the river, and the smell of cooking is gradually wafting.

Niu Youdao, who moved a stone and sat on it, took the package, took out the dry food inside, remembered Tuhan's words, pondered for a while, and threw all the dry food into the river beside him.

Shang Chaozong, who was sitting not far away, had been quietly observing Niu Youdao. Seeing this, he couldn't help but snorted, "It's a pity to throw away such fine dry food. In this chaotic world, many people can't eat enough. Of course, These monks are never short of food and drink, I'm afraid they are used to eating well..."

Lan Ruoting, who was poking the fire with a branch at the side, touched Hai Chaozong's foot with the branch, shook his head with a smile, and called someone to ask Niu Youdao to eat hot food at the hot pot on the other side. Niu Youdao vaguely heard people's dissatisfaction, but he didn't take it seriously. Someone came to invite him, and he went happily. What could be more important than filling his stomach?

Looking back, Shang Chaozong asked, "Sir, do you think I've said it?"

Lan Ruoting smiled and said: "Before I was worried that there was something wrong with this person, but now it seems that this person is afraid that he will not be seen by the Qingzong, so he was kicked out to perfuse us. Now I am a little bit convinced that he is indeed Dong Guo Master's disciple."

Shang Chaozong snorted, "How can you see that?"

Lan Ruoting: "Didn't the lord find out? During the day, he also begs for food from us. He can even eat the rough dry food. Instead, he doesn't want to enjoy such fine dry food and throws it away. Isn't that cheap? Plus Being able to be sent by the Shangqing Sect to follow us, I guess he has some doubts about the dry food, so don't watch him so closely tomorrow, why not relax and give each other a chance to get to know each other."

Shang Chaozong looked at Niu Youdao who was eating and drinking with the soldiers, showing a thoughtful expression.

Shang Shuqing came back from washing by the river, she took off her gauze hat at night, her hair was unfurled, flowing in the night wind, exuding a tenderness like water, when she arrived here, Lan Ruoting asked Said: "The princess is smart, not a reckless person, can't you see that this person is too young and has no mana cultivation, why did you agree to let this person accompany you?"

Shang Shuqing sat on the horse tie beside her, stroked her hair on her shoulders, and pondered: "Brother and Mr. Qinger understand their thoughts, how should I put it, first of all, I think it is better than nothing. Secondly, I think This person is not simple, brother is in need of people, even if there are more than half able people to help, it is better than none."

Hearing this, Lan Ruoting immediately asked with great interest: "Why does the princess think this person is not simple?"

Shang Shuqing had a beautiful sitting posture and side face, but under the trance of the bonfire, that face really looked like a grimace. After a little thought, she rationalized her thoughts and said, "Tang Yi is the current head of the Shangqing sect. Even if the disciples in the sect are Disciples of the older generation were respectful when they saw her, but Niu Youdao was respectful when he saw Tang Yi, but there was an indescribable feeling in it. Treating Tang Yi as an equal. The strangest thing is that I faintly found that Tang Yi was a bit stern and inward facing him. She seemed tough and superior, but in fact she seemed a little guilty, and would always intentionally or unintentionally avoid eye contact with Niu Youdao. "

"Guilty?" Shang Chaozong asked strangely.

Shang Shuqing: "Brother, don't forget that I am also a woman, and I can understand some inner manifestations of women's subtle reactions."

Lan Ruoting asked curiously: "Tang Yi is the head of the Shang Qing sect, this person looks young, how can Tang Yi feel guilty when facing him?"

Shang Shuqing shook her head and said: "Sir, I am also very surprised at this point. At first I thought I was wrong. Fortunately, I was wearing a gauze hat to observe carefully. After paying attention repeatedly, I think there is nothing wrong. Yi should feel guilty when facing him."

Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting glanced at each other, and couldn't help turning their heads to look at Niu Youdao, who sat cross-legged on the ground beside the bonfire not far away, drinking hot soup and dry food in one hand, drinking and gnawing and laughing with others, he seemed quite a carefree person.

"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Blossom Immortals plant peach trees, and pick peach blossoms for wine money..."

Qing Wan's voice of reciting poems pulled the two of them back to look at Shang Shuqing, both of them were a little stunned.

Shang Shuqing frowned slightly, and read out the entire poem in memory with a thoughtful look: "When drunk, I only sit in front of the flowers, and when I am drunk, I come to sleep under the flowers. Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fade and bloom year after year Years. I hope that I will die of old age, and I don’t want to bow before the chariots and horses. The dust of the chariots and the horses are full of power, and the hermits are destined to be hermits. If you compare the conspicuous person to the hermit, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky. If you compare flowers and wine to the chariot Horse, why don’t you be busy with me? Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through. I don’t see the tombs of heroes in the five tombs, and I don’t have any flowers or wine to hoe to make a field!”

She is talented and intelligent, has the ability of photographic memory, and her memory is naturally excellent. She only listened to the poem that Niu Youdao read once, and she actually recited it.

After reading, he looked up at the reaction of the two of them.

Shang Chaozong hehe said: "Is this your new poem, Qing'er? You only sit in front of the flowers when you wake up, and you come to sleep under the flowers when you are drunk... Hehe, good poems, you can feel free when you listen to them, but they are a little lazy and negative. Qing'er, is the life you are looking forward to?"

Shang Shuqing shook her head, then looked at Lan Ruoting's reaction.

After pondering for a while, Lan Ruoting said slowly: "I have visited Mr. Dong Guo's place of cultivation. There is a thousand-year-old peach tree in front of the gate. No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, the peach blossoms are as brilliant as clouds and never fade. It is very magical and true. It is impressive. The princess suddenly read this poem, could it be the first impression when seeing Niu Youdao?"

Shang Shuqing continued to shake her head: "I didn't write this poem. This poem was written by Niu Youdao. At that time, I followed Tang Yi to Taohuayuan, and Niu Youdao lazily slept on a recliner under the peach tree. After pointing to our mage’s retinue, I’m actually not happy. From Niu Youdao’s age, I can see that he is perfunctory to us. Dao stretched his waist and recited this poem casually like a dream, which gave me a sense of amazing talent on the spot, and the other party even claimed to be a hermit in his poems, which seemed to be underappreciated. I continued to watch patiently, and then I noticed Tang Yi's abnormality, and finally made up my mind to wait for this person to come down the mountain with me. By the way, this person obviously didn't want to come down the mountain with me at first, but later I don't know what Tang Yi said to him before he agreed. When he left, Shang Qingzong didn't even give him a proper farewell, so he just sent a young disciple to dismiss him. I can feel his have no choice."

"Oh!" Lan Ruoting stroked his beard and glanced at Niu Youdao, "From what the Princess said, there is indeed a taste in this poem that he claims to be a hermit. Now think about it, this person His temperament is not extraordinary, he is a bit free and easy, and he has such a talent for poetry, unlike the disciples of the Shangqing sect that I have seen before, it is indeed a bit interesting. Let me find a chance to try him and see how good he is ..."
