Chapter 505: Holding Black
The problem is that he has done all the risky things, and there is no room for bargaining, and he can't tear his face with Niu Youdao for this little thing.
I wanted to open my mouth to bite someone but didn't bite it, but someone grabbed my neck, and there is no regret medicine in the world to eat. What he wants to do now is to get that done as soon as possible, and to hold the handle of Niu Youdao in his hand, so that he doesn't dare to call himself around like a dog's leg anymore.
So Chao Shenghuai still went to have a 'chance encounter' with Chen Tingxiu.
Under the old pine outside the courtyard, there is a stone table, Chen Tingxiu sits there drinking tea, looking at the mountains and rivers or people here.
At present, he can only wait here, waiting for the news from his disciples in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and he is also waiting for the summons of the Xihai Hall to pay a visit on behalf of the Tianyu Gate.
He still felt a little bit, the Tianyumen was still a little weak in the eyes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, otherwise Xihaitang would not be so busy no matter how busy he was, at least he didn't feel anything wrong with putting him, the Tianyumen elder, in the back row.
The stone path in the mountains is crooked and oblique, and Chao Shenghuai comes leisurely and passes through the small courtyard.
Chen Tingxiu turned his head to look at him, but found that people just glanced at him arrogantly, and he was not taken seriously and ignored by others.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, who were in charge of entertaining the guests here, respectfully greeted Chao Shenghuai who was passing by, "Senior Brother Chao, why are you here, but what are your orders?"
"Just walk around. Chao Shenghuai replied casually, and raised his chin towards the courtyard, "There are guests here?"
The disciple glanced at Chen Tingxiu under the tree and replied, "A guest from the Tianyu Gate in Nanzhou, Yan Kingdom." ”
Chao Sheng sighed, didn't seem to take it seriously, and continued to pass by.
However, Chen Tingxiu took the initiative to get up and came over, and greeted with a smile, "I don't know which senior disciple is sitting down?"
From the attitude of that disciple, he could see that Chao Shenghuai's identity should be unusual.
Chao Shenghuai stopped, tilted his head and looked him up and down, "Who are you?"
The disciple sweated a little, isn't this a little too much for the guests?
Chen Tingxiu was not angry, he could look down on Niu Youdao's cultivation background and power, but he couldn't look down on the person in front of him, the more arrogant his attitude was, the more he explained that he had a background, and arched his hand and said: "Chen Tingxiu, the elder of Tianyumen in Nanzhou, Yan Kingdom." ”
"Oh, I'm glad I will. Chao Shenghuai seemed to be barely coping and arched his hand.
After going back and forth, they got accosted, and the two finally sat down under the tree together and drank tea.
After learning that Chao Shenghuai's grandfather was Chao Jing, the elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, Chen Tingxiu's attitude naturally became more and more enthusiastic. And Chao Shenghuai seems to enjoy his flattery, and when he hears the flattery, he seems to be unable to control his mouth, and he also says what he shouldn't say......
In the pavilion, Niu Youdao sat at the stone table, a white hand towel wiped the sword body of the bright sword, wiped it very carefully, as if he wanted to wipe it spotlessly.
Yuan Gang watched from the side for a while and asked, "This is a violation of the door rules, will Zhou Tiezi do what you say?"
He was referring to the guest courtyard where Zhou Tiezi was allowed to go to the Tianxing Sect to settle here. Of course, Niu Youdao's saying is to ask Zhou Tiezi to do a small favor.
Niu Youdao focused on wiping the sword in his hand, "It doesn't matter, Chao Shenghuai will give the news over there, I just want to know if he is worth helping." This Ten Thousand Beasts Gate is not a good place, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, if you are not a person in the rivers and lakes, why should you enter this rivers and lakes, helping him will only harm him, it is better to hide and continue to do chores, let him choose by himself!"
Yuan Gang raised his eyes, only to see Chen Bo come out of the backyard, enter the pavilion, and ask, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Niu Youdao returned the long sword in his hand to the sheath, the scabbard was clubbed, he held the hilt of the sword with one hand, looked at the direction of the backyard, and asked, "Haven't come out of the house yet?"
Uncle Chen: "I knocked on the door, and said that I was meditating and cultivating inside." ”
"It's rare to be diligent in cultivation. Niu Youdao smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the other party, "Please take a seat!" and raised his hand to Yuan Gang again, "Tea!"
Yuan Gang turned around and poured tea and water.
Chen Bo looked at the chessboard on the stone table, sat down slowly, and asked, "You won't ask me to play chess, will you?"
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and broke the chess bowl, looked at the black and white seeds in the two bowls, deliberately turned the two bowls in a different direction, pushed the bowl with white seeds, asked for the bowl with black seeds, twisted up a black seed, "snapped" crisp and fell, and then raised his hand to signal the other party to take the move.
Chen Bo didn't know what he meant, but he knew that it was definitely not as simple as playing chess, there must be something, since he couldn't ask, then he took a look at it next, so he twisted Baizi on the chessboard and responded.
After a few hands, Yuan Gang brought the tea and poured two lamps.
Niu Youdao dropped a sunspot and spoke up, "These two teas, one is poisonous, the other is not poisonous, I don't know which one is poisonous, there is no antidote to this poison." ”
Yuan Gang subconsciously glanced at him, the tea was poured by him, and he didn't know if it was poisonous?
Uncle Chen, who was holding the white son between his fingers, had a flickering eye, not understanding what the other party meant.
Niu Youdao added: "Let's have one lamp per person, you pick first, you can drink whichever one you pick, and I will drink the rest if you pick the rest, which is fair and reasonable." ”
Uncle Chen's pupils shrank suddenly: "What do you mean?"
Niu Youdao: "What do you mean to drink this tea, I will naturally say." ”
Uncle Chen: "Okay, is it necessary for me to gamble with you?"
Niu Youdao: "What about the matchmaker?"
Uncle Chen frowned: "What does this have to do with the matchmaker?"
"If you drink it, I will naturally give you a satisfactory explanation. ”
"What if I don't drink it?"
"Get out of here immediately, and don't appear next to the matchmaker from now on. ”
"I'm not by the matchmaker's side, and it's not your turn to call the shots. ”
"After being together for so long, you should know that I have a way to get you out of the matchmaker's way, such as revealing your background. Not to mention anything else, what will the other people in Fufangyuan think of you, a spy, can you stay any longer? You choose for yourself, the tea is here, I don't force you. ”
Uncle Chen was silent, staring at the two teas for a long time, and then said slowly: "Are you sure that you will give me a satisfactory explanation after I drink it?"
Niu Youdao: "If it's just to kill you, you don't have to wait until now." ”
At this point, Uncle Chen believes that eating and drinking together without defense, the other party has too many opportunities to start, and there is indeed no need to wait until now.
After the white seed in his hand fell, he raised his hand and hesitated between the two teas, and finally took one of them, drank it with his head high, endured the boiling heat, and even the tea leaves went down his stomach, and lit up the empty cup for Niu Youdao to see, "You drink!"
Niu Youdao played with the chess pieces in his hand, stared at the chessboard to find the landing point, and replied: "I said that I don't know which one is poisonous, so there is no need to find death by yourself." ”
Uncle Chen's always expressionless face showed a slight anger, "This is the satisfactory explanation you gave me?"
Niu Youdao: "Okay, I'm kidding you, there is no poison in the tea." Since you don't want to say who sent you, I won't ask again in the future, I believe your words, I just came to protect the matchmaker, and there is no malice. Holding the sword in one hand, and falling in the other, the hand slowly took the tea cup and blew on the lips, and slowly took a few sips.
Uncle Chen stared at the teacup in front of him and was silent.
"It's your turn. Niu Youdao, who put down the teacup, motioned to the other party to continue playing chess.
Chen Bo was already absent-minded, and when he was struggling to be killed in the chess game, Zhou Tiezi came back.
Seeing that Niu Youdao was playing chess with someone, he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should come over and talk about something.
Yuan Gang came out of the pavilion and exchanged a few words with Zhou Tiezi on the side.
After Zhou Tiezi left, Yuan Gang returned, leaned over and whispered in Niu Youdao's ear, "Zhou Tiezi saw Chen Tingxiu enter the courtyard where Tianxing Sect stayed. ”
"It seems to have confirmed my suspicions, and it was really coming at me. Since it has hit me, whether or not he can go back alive depends on the luck of this Elder Chen. Niu Youdao said hehe, his voice did not hide from Uncle Chen on the other side, and he also had something to say to Uncle Chen, "Uncle Chen, please go and help me do something." ”
Uncle Chen said with a straight face: "What's the matter?"
Niu Youdao: "Go find Du Yunsang and help me scold him!"
Uncle Chen: "What are you kidding, why don't you go yourself?"
Niu Youdao: "My life and death involve a bunch of people, and your death is your own death." My life is more expensive than yours, it's not worth it for me to gamble, you're different, you're a dead man. As soon as Uncle Chen wanted to open his mouth, he raised his hand to stop him, "This matter has nothing to do with me, it's just that you, the old man of Fufangyuan, can't stand it, don't mention me from beginning to end, and don't cause me any trouble." After meeting Du Yunsang......"
After listening to what he said, Uncle Chen was a little surprised, "What do you want to do?"
Niu Youdao didn't explain why, he messed up the chess pieces on the chessboard, stood up with his sword, and turned away, "Timing is important, don't delay, go, someone outside will show you the way." ”
......
The person who led the way was Zhou Tiezi, and after Chen Bo and Zhou Tiezi left, Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang walked out of the courtyard.
Standing on the edge of the mountain, watching the two of them go away, Yuan Gang asked: "He ran to stand up for the matchmaker, how could Wen Xinzhao let him go wild?
Niu Youdao: "Chen Tingxiu got the news, Wen Xinzhao beat the matchmaker because she was jealous, it is clear that the matchmaker has a leg with Du Yunsang, how can Chen Tingxiu go to Du Yunsang to deal with me, and the matchmaker's matter does not dare to mention it in front of Du Yunsang, otherwise it is looking for excitement, it must be to see Wen Xinzhao alone, and Wen Xinzhao must avoid Du Yunsang to see him because of his attention to the matchmaker." At this time, Du Yunsang must not be with Wen Xinzhao, it is a good time to meet Du Yunsang. ”
Yuan Gang: "But if you let him do that, his situation will still be very dangerous, once he angers Du Yunsang... Is it necessary to put him at risk in order to confirm your suspicion?"
"Don't let him go, let you go?"
"Daoye, I'd rather you let me go. ”
"Monkey, you're here again. He and Du Yunsang know each other, and he is a witness to the events of the year, as an old man next to the matchmaker, he is qualified to complain about the matchmaker, what is the matter with you? Your identity is my person at a glance, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. ”
"What if he provokes Du Yunsang and dies at the hands of Du Yunsang?"
"Du Yunsang wouldn't kill him if he remembered his old love, and if he didn't kill him with his old love, it would be difficult for me to get back the humiliation suffered by the matchmaker. Chen Bo can hide for many years by the side of the matchmaker behind him, he must be the person trusted by the person behind him, Du Yunsang killed that person's henchman, and invisibly erected a strong enemy, isn't it good to have one more strong enemy to seek justice for the matchmaker?"
"Master Dao, you are really too cold-blooded sometimes. ”
"It's an eventful time, it's hard to take care of everyone, I'm not a god, someone has to make sacrifices. Monkey, you can choose to hold black or white, I don't need to choose many times, I can only hold black in a game of chess!" Niu Youdao threw down his words and slowly turned around and walked away with his sword, expressionless and lonely.
