Gao gradually followed, closed the door with his hand, and guarded the door.

Above the attic, in the two open windows on the left and right, Che Buchi and Xie Longfei each guarded the fan, observing the outside.

"Niu Youdao, Guan Fangyi, I've seen the prince. The two visitors bowed their hands.

King Hao Zhen smiled casually: "This king has long admired the two of you, sit down!"

Stretching out his hand to invite, the guest and host sat down around the table, and Mu Jiu stood beside Haozhen with his hands tied.

"Why do you have to meet this king?" Hao Zhen asked.

Niu Youdao gestured left and right, metaphorically referring to the presence of outsiders, is it convenient?

Haozhen: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Since this is the case, Niu Youdao will not beat around the bush with him, "There is something I want to ask the prince for help." ”

Hao Zhen: "This king can help the Dingbang." ”

Niu Youdao was surprised, he didn't expect this to be so refreshing, but the other party then added slowly, "But this king will not do anything that violates the national policy, such as a war horse!"

Obviously, Hao Zhen also guessed that Niu Youdao came to Qi Country for the war horse this time, and suspected that he was looking for him for the war horse.

Niu Youdao: "War horse, Your Majesty has given it to me, don't work for the prince." ”

This guy is deceiving people here again! Guan Fang's face was silent, but his heart was secretly muttering.

"You mean that your father gave you a war horse?" Haozhen wondered.

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand into his sleeve, took out a token, and showed it to Hao Zhen on the other side, "The war horse leaving the country, for me, is not a problem, I hope the prince will keep this matter secret." ”

Seeing the token in his hand, Haozhen said "oh", bowed slightly, but his heart was a little surprised, and he was quickly pondering the relationship between this man and his own son.

Mu Jiu on the opposite side naturally also saw the token, and his eyes flashed.

Hao Zhen: "Since it is my father's private intention, this king will not ask, and he should not know about it." But this king wants to ask, you came to see this king today, is it your own intention, or the meaning of your father?"

Gao Wanhou, who was standing at the door, also wanted to see what token Niu Youdao had in his hand, but he couldn't see it.

Guan Fangyi also wanted to see the token in Niu Youdao's hand, but Niu Youdao put it in his hand, so he put the token into his sleeve and only looked at the side of the token.

This move made Guan Fangyi's teeth itch, looking at what Hao Zhen meant, the token in Niu Youdao's hand seemed to have that effect, and this bastard had never leaked it to himself.

At the same time, there are also doubts, since there are hole cards to get war horses, why do you have to make such trouble to rob other people's war horses?

Niu Youdao: "It has nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor, it is my personal private matter." ”

Hao Zhen: "Is there anything that my father can't do, and I need this king to do it?" The implication is that you can contact the emperor directly, and you still need to find me, the prince?

Niu Youdao: "His Majesty the Emperor will not help me with this." ”

Haozhen: "What's the matter?"

Niu Youdao: "I want to ask the prince to help me detain someone, a court official, and hand over the person to me!"

Haozhen quickly looked at Mu Jiu, and asked again: "Are you kidding the court officials in private?"

Niu Youdao: "It's not a joke, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for the prince." ”

Hao Zhen: "I don't know which court official made Brother Niu unhappy?"

Niu Youdao: "The subordinate of the king of the Western Courtyard is named Zhang Xingrui!"

Zhang Xingrui?Haozhen frowned, he didn't have any impression of this name, he was definitely not a big man, otherwise he couldn't have been impressed, and turned his head to look at Mu Jiu beside him, "Does Uncle Huang have this person?"

Mu Jiu bowed and said: "Yes, the idle officials in charge of the registration of the royal family's property in the West Courtyard, the third-grade officials, are very ordinary, very ordinary, and usually inconspicuous. ”

Haozhen became more and more strange, and looked back at Niu Youdao: "A low-key and inconspicuous official, how can he make Brother Niu, who is famous all over the world, so worried?"

Niu Youdao smiled, "The prince is also very low-key. ”

Haozhen said calmly: "What is there to be high-profile about this king?"

Niu Youdao doesn't need to talk to others about this, there are some things to say, everyone knows it, back to the topic: "Ghost Mother of Yin Mountain, I don't know if the prince has ever heard of it?"

Hao Zhen: "I've heard a little, could it be related to this Zhang Xingrui?"

Niu Youdao: "Zhang Xingrui is the descendant of the ghost mother in the world, and he is the great-grandson of the ghost mother!"

When these words came out, Hao Zhen, Mu Jiu, Gao Wanhou, and Che Buchi and Xie Longfei, who were listening upstairs, were all surprised!

Haozhen's lowered eyebrows gradually opened, his gaze became deep, revealing a different momentum, and asked, "Does the king of the Western Courtyard know?"

Niu Youdao: "I know, and I'm keeping it a secret for this!" It can be seen that this Zhang Xingrui seems to be low-key, but in fact it is a kind of protection for him, so that the king of the Western Courtyard can take care of the person who keeps it secret, which shows that the ghost mother attaches great importance to this great-grandson!"

Haozhen was silent for a while, and thought about many things in an instant, and then said: "Regardless of whether that Zhang Xingrui is the great-grandson of the ghost mother or not, this is not important, the important thing is that he is a court official, and no one can afford the responsibility of privately detaining court officials, and this king can't afford this responsibility!"

Niu Youdao: "I won't make it difficult for the prince, but I will detain it for a while, and I will return the person to the prince intact afterwards." And I guarantee that neither the king of the Western Courtyard nor the ghost mother will dare to speak out afterwards, and it will not have the slightest impact on the prince. ”

Hao Zhen: "You promise, what guarantee do you take? It's ridiculous!"

"Can the prince take a step to speak?" Niu Youdao stood up and made a gesture of extending his hand to ask for help.

Haozhen stared at him with a treacherous gaze, and finally slowly got up.

The door opened, and the two walked out of the water pavilion one after another, crossed the bridge, and went to the shore, wandering side by side in the courtyard.

The others stood on the side of the water pavilion and watched, I don't know what the two were talking about there, in short, they saw Hao Zhen suddenly looked at Niu Youdao, and his face was surprised.

The two finally stopped on the shore, and Hao Zhen sighed, "There are many people who can do this kind of thing, why are you eyeing this king?"

Niu Youdao: "It seems like a lot, but it's not much, Zhang Xingrui is standing behind the ghost mother and the king of the Western Courtyard, ordinary people don't dare to face them, for fear of retaliation." And the prince is different, behind the prince is His Majesty, and the ghost mother has not dared to do anything to the prince. As long as the prince made a move, the ghost mother knew that she couldn't help the prince, and for the safety of Zhang Xingrui, she didn't dare to speak out. Before this matter was completed, I didn't want to show any rumors, so I had to ask the prince for help. ”

Haozhen: "What the hell are you going to do to the ghost mother?"

Niu Youdao: "It's inconvenient to disclose this matter to the prince for the time being, but I can promise the prince two things." First, after the matter is completed, I will send Zhang Xingrui back safely, and I will not embarrass the prince, the prince only needs to find a reasonable excuse to transfer him away for a while. Second, I guarantee that this matter will not infringe on the interests of Qi State. ”

Hao Zhen was silent, and then said: "Aren't you related to my second brother? Why don't you look for him, his strength is more suitable for doing this." ”

is different from the reason he said to Guan Fangyi, Niu Youdao changed his rhetoric: "Because I am more optimistic about the prince and want to make friends with the prince, I think the king of Yongping County will have a time to deal with Qi in the future." I think I'm like the prince, looking at the long term and the future!"

Hao Zhen smiled, "Zhang Xingrui is a person under Uncle Huang, and if you don't arouse suspicion, it's not easy for you to do this!"

"If it's easy to do, I won't look for the prince, but I believe that this matter will not be difficult for the prince. Niu Youdao arched his hand to him.

Being able to find this head is indeed the result of Niu Youdao's careful consideration.

Su Zhao's side has been confirmed by Chen Guishuo, it is Shao Pingbo's sister Zhao, combined with the information provided by Guan Fangyi, it can be 100% confirmed that the person who made this batch of war horses for Shao Pingbo is Su Zhao, and it may even be Xiaoyue Pavilion behind it!

And to kidnap Zhang Xingrui, first of all, you can't alarm the king of the Western Courtyard, otherwise it will alarm Su Zhao and even Xiaoyue Pavilion. In this way, it is almost certain that once the king of the Western Courtyard is alarmed, even if the war horse is in hand, it is unlikely that it will be successfully transported back to Qingshan County.

Haozhen turned his head to look at him, "The guarantee you gave is good, but this king doesn't dare to use this to blackmail you easily, in the end, it's actually useless." ”

Niu Youdao: "But the prince can't deny it, once the prince has something, I don't dare to see death and not save it, otherwise I will be looking for death!" I still say the same thing, as long as the prince helps me this time, in the future, I will try my best to help the prince!"

Haozhen: "Since you are optimistic about this king, why don't you come to this king's side to help this king!"

Niu Youdao: "The prince has people from the three major factions around him to help, and when I come here, what am I in front of the three major factions, don't I have to look at people's faces? ”

Haozhen: "Could it be that Tianyumen can be so good at talking?"

Niu Youdao: "At least Tianyumen can't help me?"

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"King Yongping treats me well!"

"Alas, the Shang Dynasty Sect is more blessed than this king, I hope you remember your promise!" Hao Zhen sighed and gestured towards the Water Pavilion, Mu Jiu and the four people quickly flashed over, Hao Zhen turned around, "Let's go!"

When the four of them passed by Niu Youdao one after another, they all looked Niu Youdao up and down again.

The four of them also wanted to ask Hao Zhen what Niu Youdao had said, but the four of them knew that Hao Zhen would naturally tell them what he was willing to say, otherwise there was no need to ask.

The cow has a way to give it away.

Guan Fangyi quietly came to the side and asked, "He agreed?"

Niu Youdao: "It should be regarded as a promise." ”

Guan Fangyi was surprised, she had objected to Niu Youdao coming to King Ying before, and felt that it was impossible for the other party to agree to this kind of thing, and she also saw the attitude of the other party just now, so she asked suspiciously: "What did you tell him, can he agree to this?"

"Just make a friend sincerely. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with me!"

Some things are not easy to tell others, Niu Youdao stared at the back of Hao Zhen leaving, and diverted the topic: "Who are the other three?"

Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes, knowing that it would be in vain to ask again, "Mu Jiu, the chief eunuch of the British Palace, and the other two are the cars of Daqiumen, Xie Longfei of the Xuanbing Sect." ”

"This King is really not simple!"

"You think too much, the prince is protected by the three major factions around him. ”

"Did I think too much? Although King Jin has people from the three factions around him to protect him, he only dares to use Wei Ji in private, but this disciple of the three factions has become his henchman!" Niu Youdao exhaled lightly, turned around and said, "Let's go!"

Hearing this, Guan Fangyi suddenly realized, revealing a thoughtful look.
