Chapter 322 Much Ado About Nothing
Niu Youdao walked out of the house, stood under the eaves and stretched his waist, with a sword in his hand, his head shook from side to side, moved his shoulders and neck, and then went down the steps and walked towards Ling Huqiu's room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Second brother!" Niu Youdao shouted at the door of Linghu Qiu, and the tail of the sword in his hand waved and knocked on the door under the door frame.
There was no reaction in the house, Shen Qiu flashed out, showed his face and said, "Master Dao, people are out." ”
Shen Qiu is the one who was recruited by Wuliang Mountain in the capital last night.
Niu Youdao looked back and said suspiciously: "Went out?"
Shen Qiu: "Yes, I went out early in the morning." ”
"Where?"
"I don't know. ”
Niu Youdao turned around and came, "All gone?"
Shen Qiu: "Red Sleeves is on duty at the gate and watching." ”
"It's a bit condescending to let a big beauty watch the door. Niu Youdao laughed, at first he thought that Ling Huqiu and the others had run away, and the red sleeves were still there, which meant that he hadn't run yet, and then asked: "When the news from the capital was summarized to me, did you participate?"
Shen Qiu: "I sorted it out." ”
Niu Youdao: "I saw that the information said that there is a monk named Hongniang here, who is quite mixed up in Qijing." ”
Shen Qiu: "Yes." ”
Niu Youdao: "How much do you know about this matchmaker?"
Shen Qiu: "I haven't been in contact with it, but I often hear people here mention that if you want to buy or sell anything, you can find someone through her, and this person's reputation is still good." ”
Niu Youdao nodded, turned around and left, and shook to the gatehouse.
The red sleeves sitting in the gatehouse immediately came out to say hello, "Master Dao, do you want to go out?"
"Second brother is out?"
"Yes!"
"Where?"
Red Sleeves pretended to be confused and said, "I didn't tell me, I don't know." ”
Niu Youdao: "There is a monk named Hongniang in this capital, do you know?"
Red Sleeves wondered in his heart, could it be that this man already knew the whereabouts of the gentleman? How could he be so well-informed?
She pretended to think and squeaked, "I've heard of this person, but I'm not familiar with him. ”
Niu Youdao: "When will the second brother come back?"
Redsleeves: "I don't know, you didn't tell me." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside, and the red sleeves quickly entered the gatehouse, looked out of the small window inside, and quickly came out to open the door.
Ling Huqiu happened to walk up the steps, and saw Niu Youdao standing in the door with a pestle and a sword, and was stunned for a moment.
Niu Youdao looked at the carriage at the door, "Where did the second brother go?"
Ling Huqiu immediately came over and invited him into the porter, "Brother, come here, I have something to tell you." ”
However, the people in the carriage were not very cooperative, and while no one was paying attention in the streets and alleys, Wei Jie flashed out of the carriage directly, flashed into the door with a swish, and landed beside the two of them, and then quickly ran a few people to surround this side.
Niu Youdao in front of the sword pestle looked left and right, and the hand on the hilt of the sword moved slightly to the position of the hand, "Second brother, what does this mean?"
Wei Ji lifted his chin inward.
Ling Huqiu immediately smiled at Niu Youdao and said, "Brother, this is not the place to talk, go in and talk." ”
As soon as a few people moved inside, Redsleeves shouted, "Sir." ”
Ling Huqiu immediately motioned for the red whisk to lead the people to go in first, and he stayed.
After a few people walked away, Red Sleeves said in a low voice: "Just now, Niu Youdao suddenly came to me and asked me if I knew the situation of the matchmaker?"
Ling Huqiu was surprised, "He knows that I met with the matchmaker?"
Redsleeves: "I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I said that, you came back." ”
When Niu Youdao and a few people arrived at the main hall, Ling Huqiu also hurried back, and quickly let people serve tea when they entered.
"You're welcome, let's get down to business. Wei Jie raised his hand to stop the tea, waved his hand, and the people who came with him immediately went outside to guard.
Niu Youdao has been observing this person's words and deeds.
Ling Hu Qiu first introduced: "Brother, this is Mr. Wei Wei of the Golden Palace, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Niu Youdao gestured with his hand, in fact, he hadn't heard of it at all, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of this one, first Bu Xun, then the princess, and now there is a Jin Wangfu, this one after another, I don't know if this is Bu Xun again.
Wei Jie: "Don't say polite words, you ask." He gestured to Ling Huqiu.
Ling Huqiu clenched his fists and coughed dryly, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, that's the case, Mr. Wei wants to know what the chief manager and the Jade Princess talked about when they came to you yesterday." ”
Niu Youdao suddenly became alert in his heart.
There were two judgments in his heart in an instant, this Wei Jie was either fake, or Ling Huqiu didn't know where to get it to fool him and wanted to come to his bottom.
Either it's true, he'd rather be fake, if it's true, it's a bit troublesome, ordinary people don't ask about this kind of thing, and it's self-evident who the other party represents.
Niu Youdao's mind turned, and he said with a surprised expression: "Second brother, don't you know what you talked about? Why do you ask me? You just tell Mr. Wei and it's over." ”
Hongfu, who was listening, was instantly dumbfounded, and looked at Niu Youdao in disbelief, this is talking nonsense with his eyes open!
Wei Except for a face that had darkened, he stared at Ling Huqiu.
Ling Huqiu was shocked, looked at Niu Youdao dumbfounded, and had the urge to strangle Niu Youdao alive, so he was anxious, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Second brother, when did I know? I asked you, but you refused to say, why did it become that I knew?"
Niu Youdao paid attention to Wei Jie's reaction, and found that it didn't look like a pretend, and sighed in his heart, afraid that it was the second possibility he didn't want to see.
Looking at Ling Huqiu again, the two of them stared at each other, Niu Youdao suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Oh, I remembered, I remembered, I remembered it wrongly, second brother, you don't know, I didn't tell you at the time, I was confused." ”
Ling Huqiu's expression twitched, and he wanted to ask him, admitting that I don't know, why did you pretend to be suddenly enlightened, as if I was colluding with you, isn't this deliberately misunderstood?
Sure enough, Wei Jie already sneered gloomily, "Hmph, the two of you have played a good trick!" Ling Huqiu, I don't care what you are playing, let's talk about yesterday's events." "Looks like I don't have time to play with you.
Niu Youdao raised his chin to Ling Huqiu, "Let you say it." ”
Ling Huqiu was furious, "I don't know anything, what do you want me to say?"
Niu Youdao turned around and asked Wei Jie, "Since Mr. Wei is from the Golden Palace, if this matter is not over if you go directly to ask the general manager of Bu Xunbu, why bother us?"
Wei Jie: "The boss, we will naturally ask when we should ask, and I am asking you now." ”
Niu Youdao nodded, unwilling to provoke this person, and happily explained: "The chief manager and the princess came to me, in fact, they are all the same thing, hoping to promote peace between the king of Yongping and the court of Yanguo." ”
Naturally, he won't talk about giving him tokens, and here he finally gave out that batch of documents, how can he make trouble for himself again.
Wei Jie: "It's that simple?"
Niu Youdao was surprised: "This is not simple, is it?"
Wei Jie: "Naturally, there are envoys to do the things to promote peace, so you can use the chief manager and the Jade Princess to come to you in turn?"
Niu Youdao couldn't explain, Haoyuntu gave in to find a token and asked the princess to promote peace, even he was confused about this matter, how could he tell what was going on, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wei, that's all I know, if you ask again, I can't say anything." ”
Wei Ji stood up and slowly walked up to him.
Niu Youdao also stood up, and the two looked at each other.
Wei Jie: "Niu has a way, and you have to bear the consequences if you talk nonsense." ”
Niu Youdao: "I have said everything that should be said, if Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, I can't help it, if you don't believe it, you can find the chief manager or the princess to confront you." ”
Wei Jie: "Are you using the chief manager to suppress me?"
Niu Youdao: "I don't mean that, I just don't want to make any misunderstandings." ”
Wei Jie slowly raised his hand, and poked a finger in Niu Youdao's chest, and poked it several times, "Are you trying to go against the prince? Don't forget what kind of place this is, this is the Qi country, not your Yan country, not a place where anyone can go wild! I advise you to think clearly before speaking." ”
In a way, his action was extremely rude.
Niu Youdao looked at the hand poked in his chest, and said calmly: "Mr. Wei, I will never dare to go against the prince, I have already honestly explained what I should say and what I shouldn't say." ”
Wei Jie's fingers moved to Niu Youdao's shoulder, and his palm slapped on his shoulder, "So, aren't you going to say anything else?"
Niu Youdao: "I can't lie to Mr. Wei with nonsense, right?"
"Hehe!" Wei Ji smiled and patted Niu Youdao on the shoulder a few times, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't want anyone else to know about today's conversation, otherwise I will bear the consequences!"
Niu Youdao: "Sir's reminder, I must take it to heart." ”
Wei Jie, who had a cold face, put down his hand, turned his head and left.
Ling Huqiu hurriedly followed and sent people away.
Niu Youdao went out and stood under the eaves, with the pestle and sword in front of him, watching the guests leave, his brows furrowed slightly.
Outside the gate, the carriage left, and Ling Huqiu was also watching, accompanied by red sleeves and red whisks.
When the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Ling Huqiu slowly lowered his hand, turned his head and said to Hongfu: "This person is arrogant, send a message to ask the above, and find out where this Wei is coming from." Then he turned and went back.
When he returned to the main hall and saw Niu Youdao under the eaves, Ling Huqiu walked up quickly and said angrily, "What did you mean just now?"
He was referring to Niu Youdao's deliberate misleading of Wei Ji just now.
What else does Niu Youdao mean, naturally he wants to drag him into the water in case of something, but he asks rhetorically: "You ask me? I want to ask the second brother what do you mean? I know this person's background, and you brought him to see me, are you deliberately looking for trouble for me?"
Ling Huqiu was blocked by this, saying that he was not righteous first, and then sighed and said: "I don't want to do nothing, you know what his background is, he suddenly found me this morning, I have to inquire about yesterday, what do you think I can do?"
Niu Youdao: "You said you didn't know that it was over, why did you bring it to me?"
Ling Huqiu said blindly: "It's not that I want to bring it, it's he who wants me to bring him, can I refuse?"
Niu Youdao: "Do you say that if I'm not there, it's over?"
Ling Huqiu rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? People even know who they have seen you, can you know if you are in him?"
