Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 866: There are some things that you can’t stop no matter how hard you try.

The next day, in the wilderness outside Wudu.

There are not only Yang Jiao, Ren Ruyi, Gao Yao and Ning Yuanzhou, but also a sunny and warm young man.

Gao Yao cupped his fists and said:

"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. Brother Ning, after you have settled down and found a local inn, you and I will have a chance to meet again."

Ning Yuanzhou cupped his fists and replied:

"Don't worry, how could I forget that you, a wealthy businessman who has been doing business for generations, have an inn in your family, which can be found all over the nine countries. After I settle down, I will send a message as soon as possible."

He turned sideways and faced Yang Jiao:

"Brother Yang, although we have only known each other for a short time, since you are Brother Gao's best friend, you are my friend. I look forward to the day when we can have a good chat over wine."

Yang Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly:

"It's better not to say goodbye so quickly. There is a large number of people from the Six Paths Hall ambushing not far away."

Gao Yao said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that the Zhu Yiwei branch in Wudu was destroyed by Liudaotang a few days ago. In recent days, Zhu Yiwei has planned to take revenge. Will these two groups of people happen to collide? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a person with sharp ears and eyes, and could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting.

However, within a few breaths, a large number of archers appeared, all pointing their bows and arrows at a few standing people, and then an old man walked out.

Ning Yuanzhou bowed his head and said, "Prime Minister, long time no see."

The old man was Prime Minister Zhang Song and said with a smile:

"Ning Yuanzhou, please stop crying like a cat and pretending to be compassionate." The seriously injured man, Lou Qingqiang, said, covering his chest.

Gao Yao replied angrily:

"Since Zhao Ji can't invite you, I have no choice but to take action myself."

"Lou Qingqiang, it's you. I didn't expect that you would be beaten so badly after not seeing each other for two days. Looking at your posture, you should be preparing to intercept and kill. Unfortunately, you were plotted instead." Ning Yuanzhou walked up to In front of a man covered in bruises.

When everyone arrived at the place where the sound of fighting came from, they saw figures lying on the ground everywhere, and a few people were seriously injured, but the murderers were nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Gao, you."

"Hall Master Ning, you are fine."

At the same time, when Ren Ruyi saw Lou Qingqiang, a coldness appeared in his eyes.

He took the lead and walked forward: "Let's go and see if these people want to intercept and kill you, or if they want to keep you and continue to make you work for them."

Gao Yao waved his hands repeatedly: "You must never wrong a good person."

Ning Yuanzhou shook his head and laughed:

"The Gao family is a well-known existence in the Nine Kingdoms. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Moreover, it has been able to thrive in the troubled times of many countries, and the royal families of all countries will take advantage of it. You are the only direct descendant of this generation of the Gao family. If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be three hundred taels of silver in this place.”

"You must not be ignorant of good people's hearts. If it weren't for me, you are sure you would be able to fly far away today and live in seclusion."

He raised his hand and said, "Please have a cup of tea."

Ning Yuanzhou turned his head and glanced at Gao Yao, saying that he should be calm, and then walked towards Zhang Song.

Almost at the same time, a leaf appeared on Ren Ruyi's hand, and a bloody wound suddenly appeared on Lou Qingqiang's neck, and he died. "The first one." Ren Ruyi said three words indifferently.

"Don't move." Zhang Song saw that the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense and immediately shouted.

Yang Jiao watched with cold eyes, understanding that Ren Ruyi had faked his death and sneaked into Zhu Yiwei. Just a few days ago, a sister who treated her very well, the woman she called Linglong last night, died tragically at the hands of Lou Qingqiang. This is revenge.

Gao Yao showed no sign of nervousness at all, and praised with a smile on his face:

"Miss Ren, I really can't tell. Your skills are so good. Sure enough, my eyesight is not as good as Brother Yang's."

There was a glint in Zhang Song's eyes. He didn't expect that Ning Yuanzhou's friends were not only direct descendants of the Gao family, but also highly skilled women. One of them, the man in black robe who didn't look like a mortal, might not be that simple.

Immediately, he ordered:

"You all listen to me, don't be rude to Hall Master Ning's friends."

Not far away, Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou were sitting opposite each other in a temporary pavilion.

"Brother Yang, it seems that Zhang Xiangguo is planning to set a trap for Ning Yuanzhou." Gao Yao curled his lips.

"There are some things that you can't stop no matter how much you try." Yang Jiao said casually.

"Brother Gao, will something happen to Ning Tou'er?" The young man, Yuan Lu, asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, your head Ning will be fine." After Gao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Jiao:

"I can't stop something, but I can still save other people's lives."

On the other side, Ning Yuanzhou saw Zhang Song personally making tea for him and said directly:

"Ning is well aware of the Prime Minister's intentions, but he is too weak to take on this important task."

Zhang Song pushed the cup filled with tea in front of Ning Yuanzhou and said:

"Is his talent weak? Wouldn't that make me a zombie?"

He turned his head and looked at the many people from the Six Paths Hall who were not seriously injured standing outside the pavilion, and said:

"Tell me, in the minds of you Six Paths Hall Tiqi, what exactly is Jianke?"

One of them replied respectfully:

"Surveillance, assassination, and bribery of traitors."

"These small things can be done by Jiedushi with a few rangers, but why does the court spend one-sixth of the annual military salary to support you Six Paths Hall?" Zhang Song didn't wait for anyone to answer, and then said:

"Ning Yuanzhou's martial arts may be a little higher than yours, but his cleverness and scheming are a hundred times better than yours. There are thousands of people in Liudao Hall, and he is the only one who knows the real role of Jianke in the imperial court."

"It's not assassination or theft, but collecting and sorting out information that is truly useful for national affairs."

"However, after your Hall Master Ning left, Zhao Ji idled the Hell Realm and abolished the Senluo Hall. Nine out of ten pieces of information obtained by the Holy Lord before he went on the expedition were false. Why?"

Zhang Song looked at Ning Yuanzhou intently and said word by word:

"It's because Anguo's Zhu Yiwei is not a vegetarian. He will also send out false news. Information without multiple verifications is just nonsense."

He turned his head again:

"Zhao Ji's confidant Lou Qingqiang died just now. I am unmoved because in my eyes, he can't even compare to a hair of your Hall Master Ning."

After hearing this, Ning Yuanzhou just smiled:

"The Prime Minister is overly praised."

"Actually, I don't put a high hat on you. This time the Holy Emperor was captured, one of the reasons for the defeat was the Six Paths Hall." Zhang Song said with a sincere face:

"To tell you the truth, I have admired your talents a long time ago, but you have never been willing to use them for me, so I can only stand by and let Zhao Ji frame you again and again."

Ning Yuanzhou pushed the tea in front of him unmoved and said:

"The Prime Minister's words are nothing more than a wish to show kindness and power at the same time. I have long been tired of the strife in the court. Moreover, due to being imprisoned, my body has already been injured from overwork. It is really difficult for me to bear this important responsibility."
