Chapter 152 Come and Not Reciprocate

Turn around and ask Duan Hu and the others, "Is the journey going well?"

"Successful!" The three of them nodded, and they all took out the maps they carried with them, and all the stations they checked along the way were marked on it.

Niu Youdao asked the three of them to put the marks on the three pictures together on one picture, and asked about the situation carefully.

The three of them touched more than seventy post stations in the past three days, and there were only a dozen or so post stations that new postmen joined recently.

Even so, it also attracted Niu Youdao's attention. Recently, not only Zhao Da joined the station, but the stations on these three routes alone have more than a dozen newcomers!

There didn't seem to be many people, but for Niu Youdao who paid attention to this matter, it was enough to arouse vigilance!

Niu Youdao took a charcoal pencil and put eye-catching marks on the positions of the dozens of post stations, staring at them carefully, wondering whether it was because of looking for him to recruit people into the post station, or because of him. There is a big difference between the two, the difference lies in the number and density of manpower.

At the beginning, I didn't see any tricks. The locations of those post stations were not all like the one where Zhao Da was located, they were near the fork in the road!

Gradually, however, some clues were seen, and the charcoal pencil drew a circle on the area that the three people investigated, and then smeared on the map with the charcoal pencil horizontally, erasing most of the area in the circle, leaving only a narrow route area.

The visually messy interference is eliminated, and only the obvious route is presented, and the situation becomes clear at once.

Even other people gradually saw some clues, and Black Peony pointed at the map and said, "The location of these points is very particular. Daoist, look, these points are distributed, no matter how the nearby routes intersect, as long as you go to this area, you will inevitably pass through one of the stations. The same is true for other points. In this way, there is no need to set up people at each station, which can save a lot of manpower."

Niu Youdao nodded slightly, and he could see it. In this way, it was not for adding manpower to the post station, but for him.

This is in line with his doubts. If every post station is equipped with manpower, how many people will the country of Yan have to invest in this matter? The spies of the country of Yan can't abandon other bigger things for the sake of him.

Yuan Fang blinked, "It's much more convenient. We only need to figure out the post stations that may be staffed on the route, and we can bypass them, instead of having to stop and go around every post."

Niu Youdao: "This is unrealistic. First of all, we are not familiar with the situation on the road, and we don't know the location of each post station on the road. You can only see the post stations when you get close. You see, there are three post stations on this road..." Pointing to a longer route, "If it wasn't for the one on the left after investigation, can you tell which one it is? Also, along the way, many post stations are located at the riverside bridge. , then you don’t need to ride, it’s better to plunder on foot.”

Yuan Fang scratched his neck, hehe smiled, and wanted to say that he hadn't thought about it so carefully for a while.

Hei Mudan and the others were a little puzzled, they didn't know where he was going, and he refused to go on foot all the time, why did he insist on going through these post stations? This was clearly a preparation for a long journey, how far would he go, and where would he go?

"There is another situation. Who can guarantee that every place is exactly as we judged, and who can guarantee that there will be no redundant staffing in a certain place?"

Black Peony: "Master Dao, what do you mean?"

Niu Youdao said indifferently: "It's not rude to come here and not to go. If you don't know, it's fine. Since you already know, then remove all these eyeliners."

Duan Hu said suspiciously: "Master Dao, I'm afraid it won't work if only a few of us want to do this?"

Niu Youdao: "Of course we can't rely on us. Facing this kind of organization, we are not capable of fighting against this kind of organization. The financial and human resources they can use behind them are beyond our imagination. A few people from Liuxianzong, Lingxiu Mountain and Fuyunzong can force us to flee in embarrassment. The forces behind them can drive more than these three sects of practice, and they can send far more than these few people. At most, you can touch this net to frighten the snake, and you will not bite a few."

Black Peony: "Then what should I do?"

"Let those who have the ability to check and balance do it." Niu Youdao raised his finger to Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang, "I have to work harder for you two."

The two replied: "Master Dao, please tell me."

Niu Youdao: "Immediately rush to the capital of Zhao State, without stopping all the way, to Zhao Jing with the fastest speed, and look for five people, South Korean envoy Zhuge Xun, Song State envoy Tu Huaiyu, Jin State envoy Chu Xiangyu, Wei State envoy Sui Pai, and Qi State envoy Zuo Annian. !"

Originally, he was only worried about South Korea, because his destination was in South Korea, but if he targeted South Korea all the way, he would be suspected of revealing his whereabouts, so he didn't care if he was in other places, and he would cover it up, since he didn't need to contribute anyway.

As for whether the Yan Kingdom has made such an arrangement in Zhuguo, he doesn't know, at least once Zhuguo's action, not to mention helping him to scare off possible dangers, at least it can scare the snake away and shrink all the eyeliners that may exist along the way, so that he can travel smoothly without worrying about this aspect.

Otherwise, looking in front of him, just because of this little trouble, he has already delayed his schedule for several days and dared not move. The power behind the other party is too huge. No matter how confident he is, he can't be arrogant enough to think that he can collide with such a weak person.

Hei Mudan and the others were a little surprised. They couldn't figure out who the envoys of various countries were, because they were not in their usual focus, but they found that Niu Youdao was very clear, and everyone reported smoothly. It seems that people who have been in the officialdom have different knowledge.

Wu Sanliang was rather worried: "Master Dao, with our two identities, people may not necessarily meet us, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter their door."

Duan Hu followed suit and nodded. This worry is not unreasonable. These people are not ordinary people. They are surrounded by expert guards, and it is difficult to get close to them openly or secretly.

Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, when you come to the door, you can just give my name, just say that Niu Youdao asked you to take the message, and they will naturally meet you."

Hei Mudan and the others looked at each other, do you have such a big face?

In fact, it was not a matter of shame, they all had a face-to-face meeting. Everyone was there when the incident happened in Jinzhou that night. Niu Youdao knew in his heart that it might not be possible to ask those people for help, but they must be curious and willing to meet if they meet and give a message.

Black Peony asked: "Master Dao, why did they meet us later?"

Niu Youdao pointed to the map and clicked on a location, "Beishan County, after you two come out of the capital, go directly to this place and wait for us at the largest inn in the county."

"Okay!" The two nodded in response.

Niu Youdao turned around and asked for paper and pens again, and wrote a letter in front of several people that no one could understand, and then handed it to Yuanfang, "You put on a disguise, and immediately go to the Star City, find the shop in Wandong Tianfu, find the shopkeeper, tell me my name, and let them pass the letter to Jinzhou Governor's Mansion. After that, don't come again, just go back to the prince and wait for me."

Hei Mudan and the others quietly looked at each other. This is the Wandong Tianfu, the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion, and the prince's. It seems that there is still a lot of background. No wonder you can see the envoys of the Five Kingdoms with the registration number.

It's just that a few people don't understand, Wandong Tianfu is one of the most famous sects in Zhao Guo, why are they being chased away by those three sects with such a relationship?

In any case, the information revealed in these words made Hei Mudan and the others secretly uplifted and full of hope for the future. As long as they followed the Taoist closely, the background revealed just now would naturally become their background.

This is better than establishing a sect. It is difficult for those small sects who have established a sect to integrate into these backgrounds, and they will be rejected by other forces.

Now it seems that they have found a shortcut by mistake, and they are secretly delighted.

Only Lei Zongkang lowered his head slightly, a little ashamed, he was short-sighted, blind-eyed, and regretted not listening to Hei Mudan!

But in fact, he was being targeted by Liuxianzong at that time, and judging from his situation at the time, he had no choice.

And for Niu Youdao, revealing these backgrounds in front of several people also has a deliberate meaning in it. He wants to send them out to do things, let them understand what to do when they see hope, so that they will not be prone to accidents!

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, "Master Dao, I'd better come to you directly when I turn around."

He has become more and more confident in Niu Youdao's ability, and he doesn't think there is any danger in following Niu Youdao's side. This trip has opened his eyes, and he wants to continue to expand his horizons.

Niu Youdao shook his head: "Did you forget the book Yaoyue Inn showed you? I won't stay here to wait for you. After we leave, it will be inconvenient to communicate on the way, and it will be difficult to meet each other for a while, and the people in this area will not know how hard they are. I don't worry about you running around alone. Also, take out the money on your body, and I will use it for errands on the way."

Thinking of "Alien Beast", Yuan Fang trembled in his heart, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay! But how can I give you feedback?"

But when he heard that the other party wanted to spend money, he groaned again in his heart. Just thinking about how this person spends money makes his heart ache. He is a complete prodigal!

But he couldn't help it, so he took out the money reluctantly.

"I have my own arrangements in the letter, so you don't need to worry about it." Niu Youdao ordered eighty round gold tickets and handed them to Hei Mudan for safekeeping, leaving the rest to Yuan Fang with him. After everything was arranged, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, do as I said, leave immediately when you are full!"

"Yes!" Several people took orders.
