Chapter 411 The Storm Is Coming
Hearing this, Lan Ruoting and Meng Shanming exchanged glances, fearing that if this person who is afraid of Tianyumen doesn't intervene, the whole Shang Chaozong will be held in the hands of Tianyumen. There was no room for resistance, only obedience. Seeing that this man was ready to demolish Feng Lingbo's platform, it was obvious that he had made a plan before making a move. Since they knew it well and planned it, the two of them could be said to be at ease.
After a while, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao who had bid farewell as the head of the sect also came, and Feng Entai sent the three of them off on behalf of Tianyumen.
After sending people out of the mountain gate, Feng Entai pulled Niu Youdao aside again, and what he said was nothing more than farewell words, saying that the distance is closer now, and it will be convenient to travel in the future.
After the formalities, Niu Youdao smiled and asked: "There is no good banquet, there is no good meeting. I said, brother, this is a joint set up to put us inside. I don't believe that you, as the elder of Tianyumen, didn't know it beforehand." Why don't you let the news out?"
Feng Entai sighed and said: "Third brother, don't blame my brother, I also have my brother's difficulties. Between us, public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs, and public affairs cannot be abolished because of personal interests."
Niu Youdao nodded: "Okay, I will remember what Eldest Brother said. Public is public, private is private. If there is a chance, I will return this sentence to Eldest Brother, and I hope Eldest Brother will not blame you when the time comes."
Feng Entai shook his head with a wry smile, and waved his hands. He didn't want to talk about it anymore. As a disciple of Tianyumen, he couldn't bend his elbows around some things, so it would be useless to talk more.
After a while, Shang Chaozong and Feng Ruonan also came back, and Feng Lingbo and Peng Yulan sent them out in person.
In front of everyone, Peng Yulan told her daughter to abide by women's morals and take good care of her husband in front of everyone.
Most of the onlookers heard something different. This is because they knew that their plot to seize power was not authentic, so they said something nice and apologized to appease Shang Chaozong or something?
In fact, Feng Lingbo and his wife also knew that they were jointly suppressing and bullying Shang Chaozong, but their daughter was married to Shang Chaozong. If Shang Chaozong really wanted to take revenge on their daughter, her life would be difficult. But some things can't be controlled so much, there is always a choice, the daughter is married after all, but the future of the two sons is in front of them.
The only thing that can comfort me is that I can take care of my daughter when my family is well.
Feng Ruonan felt very bitter. Her family's doing this made her feel so embarrassed. She really didn't know how to face Shang Chaozong in the future. If Shang Chaozong had a few concubines, what could she say?
Feng Lingbo stood in front of Niu Youdao, and said with a smile: "Niu Youdao, long time no see, he is indeed older, a little less youthful than before."
Niu Youdao replied with a smile: "It's been a long time. Feng Dudu's complexion is much better than when we met in the past. It really is a happy event. Speaking of which, I am really Feng Dudu's lucky star."
Feng Lingbo snorted, and asked, "How?"
Niu Youdao: "Think about Feng Dudu. The first time I met Dudu, the Dudu married his daughter. It was a great joy. Seeing Dudu again this time, and witnessing that the Dudu holds the power of commanding troops and horses in the five counties, this is another joy. Like this After thinking about it, am I not Feng Dudu's lucky star? It seems that Feng Dudu should see me more often."
Feng Lingbo smiled, but he groaned in his heart. At the time, he was overjoyed to marry his daughter, but when he turned around, he found out that he had been cheated. Does this guy still have the face to mention that?
At the beginning, he always thought that Lan Ruoting was planning to do good deeds. It wasn't until he heard about Niu Youdao's deeds that he realized that he had been deceived by Niu Youdao. What kind of Lan Ruoting was it? It was clearly this guy who did it good thing.
The two looked at each other and smiled, with meaningful expressions in their eyes.
A group of people from Qingshan County went down the mountain and left. Feng Entai also gave face and sent the group down the mountain.
The other three sheriffs didn't leave so quickly, and stayed at Tianyumen for a while before leaving.
When the few people left, it was already evening, and Feng Lingbo and his wife had no intention of leaving for the time being, and wanted to stay for a few days.
Some things have to wait for the final coordination on Tianyumen's side, and the things that have been negotiated need to have a plan for implementation.
The sky was full of sunset clouds, and the landscape was the same color. Feng Lingbo and his wife, accompanied by Peng Youzai, walked up to the top of the mountain to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Looking at the red sun halfway down the sky, Peng said again: "Your son-in-law may have a problem with you and his wife."
Peng Yulan said: "Even if father dismisses him completely, he can only admit it."
"Recognized?" Peng tilted his head and glanced at her again, and then looked at Feng Lingbo, "The two hundred thousand horses in the hands of Shang Chaozong, let you start immediately, can you control it?"
"This..." Feng Lingbo hesitated a little, and finally replied: "If the Shang Dynasty Zong can cooperate, he can control it naturally, if he is not willing to cooperate... After the Shang Dynasty Zong established a foothold in the two counties, some of the lost or hidden old tribes of King Ning Shang Jianbo Led by Meng Shanming, they all showed up one after another to join the Shang Dynasty. These people are all experts in commanding the army. They were loyal to Shang Jianbo, and now they are naturally loyal to the Shang Dynasty. The 200,000 people are probably not so good. control."
Peng looked at his daughter again, his eyes seemed to say, did you hear that? He sneered and said, "Two hundred thousand horses are not a bowl of rice. Do you think anyone can eat it? A bad appetite will kill you! If you are forced to jump the wall, Shang Chaozong can make the five counties chaos with a single word. Behind him And that Niu Youdao, that guy is not a good person."
Peng Yulan: "Father, according to what you said, even if Nanzhou is defeated, he has 200,000 horses in his hands, and we will still have trouble."
Peng Youzai: "Now the territory cannot be deployed, and it is indeed difficult to use his military power. Moreover, in order to ensure a smooth attack, he has to rely on his troops, especially Yingyang Wuliewei, so we can't force it too much. , you have to stabilize him. When the battle starts, Ling Bo will be in charge of the command of troops and horses, and all the tough battles will be handed over to his people to fight, which will consume part of his strength. During the war, he dispatched his men and horses everywhere, Ling Bo can mobilize his men and horses to cut and control his troops, as long as his troops are cut and controlled, and he can no longer gather crowds to make trouble, he can remove his military power."
Peng Yulan suddenly realized.
Peng turned around again, "So now you and your wife should do your best to appease him, stabilize him, reassure him, don't provoke him, and lower your posture. Everything will have to wait until Nanzhou is conquered, understand?"
"Yes!" The couple nodded in response, and Feng Lingbo then asked: "Father also said that Niu Youdao is not a good stubble, how will Niu Youdao deal with it afterwards?"
Peng said coldly again: "You don't have to worry about this, you just do your own thing."
For Tian Yumen, as long as they win the Shang Dynasty after the war, as long as the overall situation is settled, and as long as Niu Youdao has no influence on the overall situation of Nanzhou, Niu Youdao's affairs will be easy to handle.
When the couple left, Feng Entai and Chen Tingxiu came and passed the couple.
Walking to Peng You's side, Feng Entai looked back at the couple who were descending the mountain, and sighed, "Senior brother, let me tell you something that you are not happy with. In all fairness, Feng Lingbo may not be as good as Shang Chaozong in terms of ability." Over there." The implication seems to be asking, is Nanzhou really going to be handed over to Feng Lingbo to sit in charge?
Chen Tingxiu snorted, "Junior Brother Feng, after conquering Nanzhou, what we need is a successful person, not an ambitious and militaristic person like the Shang Dynasty. You should understand the reason!"
...
In the fifth year of the Wuli calendar, the end of the year.
In the county city of Qingshan County, every household began to clean, making preparations for getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.
Another good year came to the end of the year. Under the rule of King Yongping, the people had enough food, clothing and well-being, which made the whole county a festive atmosphere at the end of the year.
The adults are busy, the children are playing and chasing in the streets, and there is an endless stream of traffickers and pawns.
On the attic of the Sheriff's Mansion, the big Feng Ruo Nan, dressed in daughter's make-up, leaned on the railing and watched alone. Hearing the noise outside the mansion, people kept shouting to thank Shang Chaozong.
The Chinese New Year is coming, and the two counties have conducted a comprehensive review and report, and distributed some food to all registered residents with special difficulties, at least so that the people can have a meal during the New Year, not asking for good food, at least they can have a full meal.
The food distribution point of Qingshan County County City is just outside the county guard's mansion.
The voices of thanks from outside couldn't resolve the sadness in Feng Ruonan's brows. There was one thing she never expected, that her natal family found a pair of beautiful maidservants to give to Shang Chaozong...
In the courtyard, Shang Chaozong personally pushed the wheelchair, and Meng Shanming on the wheelchair walked around, accompanied by Shang Shuqing and Lan Ruoting who had gone home for the New Year.
After hearing the movement outside, Meng Shanming asked, "My lord, is there still no movement at Niu Youdao?"
Shang Chaozong shook his head: "I have never left, and I have not seen any contact with anyone outside. Qing'er can't see that he is prepared there. He still said that one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer. Let us Follow the wishes of Tianyumen."
Meng Shan sighed and said: "This Taoist is really holding his breath, I hope he is really holding his breath."
This sounded a bit contradictory, but Shang Shuqing knew what it meant, and said: "Uncle Meng can rest assured, since Daoist said he would help, he should not just sit idly by. I think he has nothing to do but is It shows that he is sure, if there is too much movement, I will be on my guard instead."
Meng Shanming: "Princess, it's not that you don't trust him, but that you put the future of 200,000 brothers on trust in him. This is tantamount to gambling! As a general, is it appropriate to do this? Logically speaking, we We should have made preparations for the other move earlier, but he didn't let us make rash moves."
Shang Shuqing was silent...
In the thatched cottage, in the courtyard, Niu Youdao watered a black peony in the pot with a sprinkler. The dust on the leaves made him frown, and he looked back at the gray sky in the distance.
"Why are you frowning?" Guan Fangyi walked over.
Niu Youdao: "The gray is much bigger."
Guan Fangyi: "The craftsman camp over there is burning fire day and night to rush to make weapons."
After pouring the water and putting down the shower, Niu Youdao walked out of the villa, stood outside the villa and looked towards the direction where the smoke rose, muttering to himself: "I can't bear it after a few years, it seems that the wind and rain are coming soon. !"
