Chapter 362 - Making Claims
The moon rises in the sea, and the waves are waves.
A dark shadow stood on the surface of the sea, a huge reef, and not far away, a large ship sailed by.
The big ship didn't just go by, it went back and forth over and over again.
In the eyes of outsiders, it may have passed through here, but in fact it has been traveling back and forth in this sea area, so it is not easy for people to think that this ship is staying in this sea area.
This ship was the same ship that had been agreed to meet Niu Youdao, but it was not a ship loaded with war horses, but one of the two hundred ships loaded with supplies.
The ship loaded with the war horse has long since left, and Niu Youdao will not let the ship with the war horse stay here, it will be too dangerous, once there is an accident, it is easy to expose the hijacking of the war horse here.
A ship with supplies can be explained in any way.
On the bow of the deck, Black Peony and Gongsun Bu stood side by side, looking out in the direction of the coast.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Black Peony was visibly anxious.
Her anxiety was not without reason, although she didn't know what Niu Youdao was doing in the capital, but from the news from Shen Qiu, she knew that Fu Fangyuan drove out the red sleeves and red whisk, and then got out and got rid of Ling Huqiu, she realized at that time that there was a good chance that Dao Ye and Ling Huqiu had pierced the window paper.
The matter between Niu Youdao and Ling Huqiu, she knew best before, and she also knew Ling Huqiu's identity, and a showdown with Ling Huqiu meant that she was up against Xiaoyue Pavilion.
Although she had long known that Niu Youdao and Ling Huqiu could not go on like this forever, and sooner or later there would be a showdown, but when this day came, she couldn't help but be frightened. Xiaoyue Pavilion is such a terrifying existence, she doesn't know.
Gongsun Bu comforted: "Don't worry, judging from the summons I received before, it should not be very far from here." ”
At that moment, a golden wing pierced the night sky and flew towards the ship, directly into one of the windows of the cabin.
The two of them looked at each other, quickly turned around and left the bow of the ship, came to the cabin, and got into the cabin where the golden-winged message was stored together.
"Is it news from Dao Ye?" asked Gongsun Bu as he closed the door.
The two disciples guarding the cabin had just taken out the secret letter, and they both got up, and one of them replied: "Yes, it's news from the Dao Master." ”
Gongsun Bu said in a deep voice: "Translate it quickly." ”
"Yes!" the disciple responded, quickly translated the contents, wrote them on a piece of paper, and then handed them to Gongsun Bu.
Black Peony immediately stretched out his head to check the contents of the secret letter with him, and after reading it, the two looked at each other.
Gongsun Bu frowned and muttered, "What's the situation? Aren't we meeting here? What do you mean by letting us set off at dawn tomorrow?"
Black Peony said with a tense face: "There must be something wrong, don't want us to be exposed here, immediately interrogate and ask about the situation!"
Gongsun Bu nodded, and immediately ordered: "Reply to the message and ask about the situation!"
"Yes!" the two disciples quickly executed.
A short time later, a golden wing flew out.
For the rest of the day, Gongsun Bu and Black Peony waited anxiously, sometimes wandering in the cabin, sometimes on the outboard deck.
However, this time the waiting time was not too long, and after two hours, I saw a golden wing pierce through the night sky and return.
The two ran back to the cabin again, and Gongsun Bu still said the same thing, "Is it news from Daoye?"
"Yes!" replied the disciple respectfully.
Gongsun Bu stretched out his hand and pointed to the secret letter, "Translate it quickly!"
Looking back at the black peony, "Judging from the time of the golden wing's round trip, if it is counted as a one-way trip, it should not be able to arrive in more than half a day at most, and it seems that what Dao Ye said about sailing before dawn is not unreasonable." ”
Black Peony pursed her lips, in fact, the two of them were not so optimistic in their hearts, the Taoist said that they would let them go at dawn, but he didn't say that he would come here to meet them at dawn.
After getting the translated content and reading it, Gongsun Bu and Black Peony were silent.
The two of them didn't say too many worrying words in front of the disciples of Wuliang Mountain, and left the cabin.
When he got out of the cabin, Black Peony knocked on Duan Hu's room and beckoned to Duan Hu inside at the door.
Gongsun Buduo glanced at the black peony, and didn't know what she meant by recruiting Duan Hu out, the fewer people who should know about this kind of worrying thing, the better.
Duan Hu quickly came out, followed the two of them to the bow of the deck, and asked, "Eldest sister, you don't have a good face, what's wrong?"
Black Peony handed him the secret letter.
After Duan Hu saw it, he was shocked and said, "Didn't you meet here, what does it mean to let another group go to the island on the other side of the Jin Kingdom?"
Black Peony said: "What Shen Qiu said is obvious, his whereabouts have been exposed, and Dao Ye has sensed some danger, so the five of them have split into two groups." ”
Duan Hu looked at Gongsun Bu and then at Black Peony, and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
Black Peony asked: "Come with me, you and I will help Dao Ye lead away possible dangers, are you afraid?"
Duan Hu straightened his chest and said, "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
Gongsun Bu was surprised and said: "Peony girl, what danger is it to provoke? Don't be kidding! Although Dao Ye is young, among the people I have seen, no one is stronger than him in terms of mind and wrist, since Dao Ye has arranged it, he will carry it out according to Dao Ye's arrangement, and you don't need to lead away any danger!"
However, Black Peony knows the situation better in his heart, and he also understands Niu Youdao better than others, this time the situation is different, it may be Xiaoyue Pavilion!
Even if it wasn't Xiaoyue Pavilion, there must be an extremely dangerous situation that might occur, otherwise after walking all the way, he wouldn't have temporarily split into two groups when he was about to meet, and it stands to reason that there should be more people to resist the risk.
Black Peony: "Brother Gongsun, you and I actually understand in our hearts that Dao Ye divided the manpower into two at this juncture, indicating that once something happens, it doesn't matter if there are too many people!"
Gongsun Bu: "That's why you can't go! You still run away knowing that there is danger, if you can't even cope with the Dao Master, what's the use of you going?"
Black Peony: "Brother Gongsun, we have been with Dao Ye for so long, has Dao Ye treated any of us badly under such a complicated situation? Take good care of all of us! If Qingshan County gives us the same conditions as Dao Ye, we don't have the prestige and maneuver to go around, and the forces of all parties will not take us in their eyes at all, only Dao Ye's prestige and skill over there can control all parties! Dao Ye is born to be at the helm, without him, I can't, you can't, we can't, we can't, immediately fall apart, where will you go from Wuliangshan? So even if it's for our own sake, Dao Ye must not have an accident!"
Gongsun Bu sighed: "You don't need to say the truth, how can you get this situation?"
Black Peony: "There's a way, isn't Dao Ye with that matchmaker?" Duan Hu and I happen to be a man and a woman!"
Gongsun Bu understood what she meant, but his face was entangled.
Black Peony comforted again: "Don't worry, first of all, the situation is not necessarily what we think, maybe it is a false alarm." Secondly, if you really encounter any trouble, it is very likely that the other party does not know the two of us, and at a glance, you will know that we are not the Taoist master and the matchmaker, and the two of us can completely pretend to be confused. Besides, the two of us will get out of the way as soon as we make a move, and we won't wait for the other to find us. ”
Gongsun Bu persuaded bitterly: "Don't make trouble, Dao Ye said that he will set off at dawn, you know the rules of Dao Ye, you can't wait!"
Black Peony: "If we can't come back before dawn, even if you leave according to Dao Ye's wishes, we will rush to the place where Shen Qiu went to meet you!"
Gongsun Bu: "Sister, don't make an assertion, let's contact the Taoist master and listen to the Taoist master's decision!"
Black Peony: "There is no communication Golden Wing around Dao Ye now, how can I contact him?"
"......" Gongsun Bu was speechless.
In the end, Gongsun Bu could only watch Black Peony and Duan Hu fly away from the ship.
He can't stop him, now the person in charge of the command is the black peony, in the absence of Niu Youdao, the black peony represents Niu Youdao, what she said counts......
In the hazy night of the grassland, two figures flew by, stopped outside a pasture, and shouted to open the fence.
"What's wrong with the two of you?"
The man who opened the door of the ranch asked suspiciously, and looked at the man and woman in front of him, who were still wearing gauze hats at night.
"Buy two horses!" the woman pulled out a golden ticket.
Rich and talkative, the people in the ranch quickly moved up and prepared horses for the guests.
The two horses were brought in, and after the woman checked it, she said to the man, "Master Dao, it's okay!"
The two then turned on their horses and galloped away in the night.
As soon as he got out of the ranch, the man asked, "Is this okay?"
The woman said, "It should be possible, if the other party really wants to search, they should inquire when they see the ranch......"
When the fire was finally extinguished, the ranch was in ashes, and the herders searched for their lost livestock under the moonlight.
Xu Yong, who was standing quietly in the ashes, suddenly looked up and saw several large birds passing by one after another under the moonlight in the night sky.
After a while, a golden wing pierced through the night sky and landed on Xu Dehai's hand, and Xu Yong walked quickly when he saw this.
Xu Dehai, who took out the secret letter and read it, looked dissatisfied.
Xu Yong approached and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Dehai said: "There is a reply from above, in the direction of Jiudaochuan, it seems that there is a trace of Niu Youdao." ”
Xu Yong: "Why does it look like it?"
Xu Dehai: "The letter did not explain the reason, the above asked to convey to Mr. Xu, please wait patiently for the news, since it is the capital that has spoken, I will do my best, and I have sent someone to verify it nearby......"
The night sky was slanting, and two figures flew across the sea, first landing on the towering reef and looking around, and finally flying towards the distant ship on the sea.
The two are none other than Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi.
Flying down on the boat, Niu Youdao made a signature move in front of his sword.
The hatch opened, and Gongsun Bu showed up to take a look, but the other party happened to be backlit, and he didn't seem to dare to confirm it.
Seeing Gongsun Bu, Niu Youdao ripped off the beard on his face.
Gongsun Bu suddenly ran out happily and arched his hand: "Dao Ye, you are finally here!"
Niu Youdao looked around, let out a long breath and said, "Yes, it's finally here." Let's go, let's go!"
"Uh..."Gongsun Bu looked embarrassed, "Dao Ye, Black Peony and Duan Hu have come ashore and haven't come back yet!"
