Chapter 424 The Second Kit
On the official road, Peng galloped again in a row. After arriving at a post station, they all entered and took a rest.
Tianyumen disciples, some quickly entered the inspection, and some were on the defensive inside and outside. For a while, people and horses sneezed and sneezed, causing dust to rise in the enclosed post station.
Peng who jumped off the horse looked back at Shang Chaozong again.
He had already discovered that Shang Chaozong seemed to have something on his mind along the way.
With a smile on his face, he went over and asked: "Your Highness is concerned about Meng Shuai? Don't worry, just let Meng Shuai stay to help Feng Lingbo temporarily. When the situation in Nanzhou stabilizes, Meng Shuai will naturally come back."
Before Nanzhou is completely stabilized, and before the people of the Shang Dynasty are thoroughly cleaned and integrated, it is not appropriate to rashly move the Shang Dynasty. If it can be stabilized, he still wants to stabilize the Shang Dynasty as much as possible. It is best to solve the problem without any trouble s Choice.
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and led the accompanying senior officials into the station for a rest. There was no need for him to stay by Shang Chaozong's side to flatter and curry favor, one or two nice words were enough.
However, he didn't know that Meng Shanming had intercepted the news that he would stay with Feng Lingbo, and he didn't let Shang Chaozong and others know, he thought Shang Chaozong and others knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
Shang Chaozong and the others were a little stunned, and didn't realize what they meant for a while. When they realized what Peng was saying, their faces changed dramatically.
From the very beginning, they knew that their lives were in danger, and they knew from the very beginning that Tianyumen might attack this side, but they were just careful not to pierce it. Knowing that Meng Shanming was transferred away, they immediately understood that this was going to kill Meng Shanming!
Shang Chaozong was going to chase him on the spot, and he was asking for clarification if he wanted to catch up with Peng.
Lan Ruoting grabbed his arm, Shang Chaozong suddenly turned his head, his cheeks were tense and his face was angry.
"My lord, don't be reckless!" Lan Ruoting also had a look of grief and indignation in his eyes, but he tried his best to maintain his composure, and shook his head slightly at Shang Chaozong, signaling not to ask further questions.
Shang Shuqing bit her cherry lips tightly with her white teeth, her expression was gloomy and her eyes were red.
Bai Yao came out of the inn room and saw that the expressions of the three people were a little bit suspicious, but he still said calmly: "My lord, the room is ready, drink some water, wash off the dust on your face, try to hurry up, you can't rest for a while, We will continue on our way soon.”
Lan Ruoting was afraid that Shang Chaozong would be impulsive, so he hurriedly answered with a smile, "Okay!"
Several people entered the post house, and a room was arranged for three people to enter.
Lan Ruoting motioned for the two accompanying guards to guard the door, and then quickly closed the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Shang Shuqing couldn't control her emotions any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, she covered her mouth, and sobbed, not daring to cry out for outsiders to hear.
Not even daring to cry, the mood and pressure in this situation, it is difficult for outsiders to put themselves in to understand, and their situation is indeed difficult.
Snapped! Shang Chaozong slammed his fist into the palm of his hand, venting his grief and indignation with his palm.
"My lord, princess, at this time, the more you need to be calm and calm, we can't mess around." Lan Ruoting persuaded the two of them in a low voice, not daring to speak out.
Shang Shuqing shook her head with a look of embarrassment, and sobbed in a low voice: "Uncle Meng has been nagging after the war. He is not a person who likes nagging. He was nagging about my marriage yesterday. I should have seen it a long time ago. It's right, it's my fault, it's all my fault. He didn't hesitate for us...but I didn't even notice his abnormality, and I didn't take it to heart at all. I'm sorry for Uncle Mong."
Lan Ruoting persuaded again: "Princess, now is not the time to talk about this."
Shang Chaozong was short of breath, his chest heaved violently, and he was angry, "A bunch of dogs, I'll go find them, if they dare to touch Meng Shuai, I'll go all out and die with them!"
"My lord!" Lan Ruoting hugged Shang Chaozong's arm with both hands, tightened it, not letting him go, and said anxiously: "Don't be reckless!"
"Let go!" Shang Chaozong was furious, "They are going to kill Meng Shuai, don't you want to watch Meng Shuai die?"
But Lan Ruoting refused to let go, begging earnestly: "My lord, I don't know that Meng Shuai's life is in danger, but the lord thinks about it, why did Meng Shuai do this without telling us? He is afraid that the prince will be impulsive! Shuai's move to attack means that the other party doesn't want to touch the prince yet, but just wants to cut off the prince's wings. Meng Shuai obviously knows this well, and Meng Shuai deliberately hides it from us, just to sacrifice himself to protect the prince!"
"Once the prince finds them to make trouble, and once the two sides tear their faces apart, not only will they not be able to keep Meng Shuai, but they will do nothing without stopping. If they are like this, they will turn their backs on the left and right, and they will simply solve it with the prince. The post station may be the burial place of the prince! Meng Shuai is sacrificing himself to buy time for the prince and a chance to come back. If the prince also smashes in, we will completely lose the chance of making a comeback. Meng Shuai is willing to sacrifice his life. The prince is fighting for the opportunity, how can the prince ignore it?"
Shang Chaozong said sadly: "Can I swallow this opportunity?"
Lan Ruoting's eyes were red, and she grabbed his arm and shook it, "If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it, even if it is the humiliation of the crotch, you have to bear it, someone must avenge Meng Shuai? Does the lord want Meng Shuai to sacrifice in vain? Does the lord want Meng Shuai to die with peace of mind?" There were also tears in his eyes, the pain was palpable, and the emotion was obviously agitated.
Shang Chaozong clenched his fists and trembled, looking up to the sky with tears streaming down his face.
Involved in the turmoil of this world, it is mighty, and no matter how many tears a man sheds, it is not worth mentioning. How many heroes and strong men, how many princes and generals have been buried in this turmoil, how many deep-seated tenderness have been submerged, and how many heroes of the world have repeatedly died. Nothing can be done!
"No! Uncle Meng will not have an accident." Shang Shuqing suddenly remembered something, reached into her sleeve and fumbled for a while, her mouth flustered and anxious, "There is still a chance, there must be a way, Uncle Meng will definitely not Something is wrong, here, I found it, here, there should be a solution."
She took out another brocade pouch from her sleeve, and held it in front of the two of them with both hands.
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting, who had tears on their faces, wiped away their tears and stared at the kit in her hand together, a kit tied with a white ribbon.
Lan Ruoting asked: "Princess, what is this?"
Shang Shuqing also raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said with a sob: "Master Dao, it's the bag that Master Dao left for me back then. Master Dao left two for me, one with a black ribbon tied around the mouth and one with a white ribbon. Tie the mouth. The one with the black ribbon has already been given to my brother, and the one with the white ribbon has been told by the Daoist that when your life is in danger, you can open it for emergency!"
Lan Ruoting lifted his spirits, and the light of hope appeared in the eyes of the kitten.
Shang Chaozong stomped his feet, snatched the bag into his hands, and got angry, "Qing'er, what the hell are you doing? How could you forget such an important thing, and how could you just take it out now? You are so confused!"
Shang Shuqing was also angry with herself, and she couldn't help but shed tears again, "Brother, I'm sorry! I'm the one who's sorry for Uncle Meng. But Master Dao has repeatedly explained that it's about the future of the entire Nanzhou, and it's about everyone's hard work over the years. This kit cannot be opened easily, only when one’s life is in danger, it can be opened as an emergency! I don’t know that Uncle Meng would sacrifice himself without telling us..."
"Okay!" Lan Ruoting pressed his hands between the siblings, "My lord, there must be a reason for the Daoist's order, and we can't blame the princess. It is not wrong for the princess to obey the Taoist's instructions. But Meng Shuai's current The situation is already facing the threat of life, so it should be possible to open it. My lord, it’s not too late, it may be too late, open the bag and see what tricks Daoist has left in the bag to deal with life worries."
Shang Chaozong immediately tore off the white ribbon on the kit, opened it, and took out a letter with two sheets of paper folded together.
The letter was spread out, and Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing leaned their heads together to read the contents of the letter, regardless of the rules.
There are only a few words on the front page: If you are in danger of your life, you can hand over the cover letter to Tianyumen, and you will be able to tide over the crisis!
That's all, the three of you look at me, and I look at you.
Shang Chaozong quickly opened the top page and read the cover letter below.
I saw it said: Urgent report! Jinzhou assembled 300,000 troops to attack Nanzhou! Niu Youdao!
The content of the cover letter was simple enough, and the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.
Shang Chaozong was suspicious: "Do you want to rely on this fake news for emergency? Tianyumen is not stupid. Neither Jinzhou nor Wandong Tianfu can send troops for us. Jinzhou and Nanzhou are fighting, and it can only be cheap Yanguo With Zhao Guo, Zhao Huanghai and Wuji will definitely take the opportunity to take down Jinzhou, how can Jinzhou send troops to attack Nanzhou? This... this... Tianyumen can believe it?"
Lan Ruoting also looked bored, and felt that the content of this letter was of the level of Daoist means, relying on this news can only be fooled for a while at most, playing Tianyumen like this, there is a suspicion of dying, and Tianyumen will check it later If the news is wrong, it is tantamount to piercing the window paper, letting Tianyumen know that this side is not willing to be female, and I am afraid that it will provoke Tianyumen to make a quick attack.
Now, Tianyumen wants Nanzhou to take over smoothly and excessively, and doesn't want to cause trouble with too drastic methods. They also want to survive here, at least to maintain a fragile balance.
Shang Shuqing also hesitated about the content of the letter, but in the end she persuaded: "Since Daoist arranges it like this, there must be a reason, so you might as well follow Daoist's wishes!"
Lan Ruoting hesitantly said: "We have experienced Taoist's methods many times, and it's not that I don't believe in his abilities, it's just that...even we can't fool us, and we can't fool Tianyumen at all!"
There was a flash of firmness in Shang Shuqing's eyes, "Brother, Mr. Lan, I have been with Master Dao for many years. I know and believe in Master Dao. Take a step back and say that you want to save Uncle Meng. Do we have another way? If we have a chance to try, can we still watch Uncle Meng go to his death? Brother, Mr. Lan, just do what Daoist said!"
Speaking of saving Meng Shanming, Shang Chaozong immediately made up his mind, nodded vigorously and said: "Okay!"
"Ah!" Lan Ruoting knew that it was meaningless to say anything else, and couldn't help but sigh, "This Daoist, always does things so unpredictable, and always makes others panic."
PS: Attached is a reader's words: Lao Yue, you dare to write Meng Shanming to death, see what it is, tear it up! The monthly pass is gone! Tear it! The recommendation ticket is gone!
All I can say is, beast!
