Chapter 15 Someone Poisoned

"Contradictory?" Tang Susu scolded, "Is this how you talk to the elders of the master?"

Song Yanqing faintly couldn't hold back his anger, shook his head and said: "Disciple can't figure it out!" As he said that, he knelt down, kowtowed and begged: "I really like Senior Sister Tang, if there is even half of my disobedience, there will be a thunderbolt, I implore the elders to help this disciple! "

Tang Susu let him kowtow a few times, Fang looked down and said, "It's not impossible to fulfill you, are you willing to be the head of the Shangqing Sect? As long as you agree to be the head of the Shang Qing Sect, Niu Youdao doesn't need to think about it. How about asking Tang Yi to marry you immediately?"

"This..." Song Yanqing raised his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched. It's not like he didn't think about it, but his father in Beijing had already warned him that the relationship between Shang Qingzong and Ning Wang Shang Jianbo was unclear, which would easily provoke His Majesty the Emperor. The Song family occupies a high position and cannot touch this position.

It's not that he can't tell which is more important, besides, with his family background, he can't afford to be so honored, so why bother to cause trouble for himself.

"The disciple's ability is limited, and he can't take on this important task." Song Yanqing bowed his head weakly.

Tang Susu said calmly: "Since that's the case, you might as well try to convince your father that as long as your father is willing to take over the head of the Qing sect, I will marry Tang Yi to you as well."

"How can a son be the master of the father's affairs." Song Yanqing replied with a guilty conscience. He could not sit in the position of head, let alone his father. How could he not understand this.

Tang Susu's eyes flickered and said: "Okay, this kind of thing will not force you father and son. Let me ask you again, do you want Tang Yi to be the head?"

Song Yanqing raised his head suddenly, and said anxiously: "Of course, I certainly hope that my senior sister can be the head of the sect. If the senior sister can be the head of the sect, I will be very happy."

Tang Susu secretly scolded the idiot in her heart, your father and son don't want to touch this position, how could the Song family allow you to marry the head of the Shang Qingzong? From the moment you decided to let Tang Yi inherit the headship, you are doomed to miss Tang Yi!

However, she still asked patiently: "The successor designated by the head Tang Muxian before his death was Dong Guo Haoran, and now Dong Guo Haoran has also died. According to the rules of the sect, who should take over the head?"

"This..." Song Yanqing hesitated for a while, and reluctantly uttered a name, "Niu Youdao!" Fu Youdao argued sonorously: "But Niu Youdao has already voluntarily given up the position of head!"

Tang Susu: "I don't need to say more about how he gave up. Everyone knows it well. Everyone keeps silent because they know that he is not suitable to be the head of the Shangqing sect. In this way, who else has the prestige to be in charge of the Shangqing sect?" Shangqingzong? Everyone is optimistic about the background of your father and son, and hope that your father and son can lead the revitalization of Shangqingzong, but for some reason, your father and son are unwilling to take over. We three old guys have this prestige, but Shangqingzong himself There are rules to check and balance us old guys. Those who have retired to the position of elders are not allowed to come back to take over the position of head. Originally Wei Duo was the most suitable, but he stuttered. Being the head will only make people laugh that I have no one in the Qing Dynasty. What's more, Wei Duo was so obsessed with sticking to Tang's master's last order, yelling that when the rules are broken, the disaster will start. He was talking nonsense there, so he had to be punished to go to the back mountain to face the wall and think about his mistakes! What about the others? ? Niu Youdao abstained under such circumstances, no one wants to stand out and bear the infamy, everyone is wise and safe!"

Speaking of this, she herself couldn't help but secretly sighed. In the final analysis, it was because the Shang Qingzong was down and precarious, and the future was full of dangers. It was not so easy to be a leader. A bunch of people are willing to take the lead, vying to be the leader.

Song Yanqing said: "So this disciple thinks that Senior Sister is the most suitable to take over!"

Tang Susu hummed, "Tang Yi is the daughter of the head of the sect. At this juncture, if she doesn't come out to shoulder the heavy burden, who will come out? But how did the inner disciples come to this position? How can she prove that Tang Yi is not selfish? She has to pay the price to take this responsibility. Do you think she is willing to marry Niu Youdao? If she wants to take this position, she must give Niu Youdao an explanation. She sacrificed herself It is also to give an explanation to the Shang Qingzong inside and out, do you understand?"

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and threw it in front of Song Yanqing's knees, "This is the letter your father just sent from the capital, you can read it yourself."

Although Song Shu is her disciple, Shang Qingzong still needs to communicate with Song Shu about some matters. Seeking Song Shu's opinion is related to the Song family's support for Shang Qingzong, so it is a last resort. And Song Shu's reply also agreed that Tang Yi would take over as the head.

Song Yanqing picked up the letter and opened it, and immediately looked distressed. His father Song Shu sternly warned him not to do anything wrong, and asked him to obey Tang Susu's discipline, otherwise he would be severely punished.

Seeing this letter, Song Yanqing sat completely paralyzed on the ground, saddened and bleeding from the heart...

After dismissing Song Yanqing, Tang Susu went to the courtyard behind, and saw Luo Yuangong and Su Po who were sitting in the pavilion playing chess and waiting.

Seeing her coming, the two stopped their hands together, Luo Yuangong looked at her and asked, "Have the Song family calmed down?"

Tang Susu glanced at the winners and losers on the chessboard, and said: "Song Yanqing was sent away just now, as long as Song Shu has no objections, it represents the Song family's attitude, and everything is easy to handle. The problem now is that Song Yanqing is very emotional, He couldn't bear to suffer this loss from Niu Youdao. This dude might dare not dare, but secretly he didn't know what he would do to Niu Youdao. In short, the matter is about to be finalized, and Niu Youdao is here There must be no accident at this time. If something happens, none of us will be able to explain it to the disciples. When Tang Yi sits there, even if she has a hundred mouths, she will not be able to explain it clearly. Everyone will suspect that she did it. There will be endless troubles. Brother Su, you need to arrange reliable people to take care of this matter, Song Yanqing can no longer control Taohuayuan!"

"Yes!" Luo Yuangong also nodded to Su Po to express his agreement.

Su Po didn't say anything, got up silently and left.

Tang Susu watched her leave with calm and firm eyes. In order to help Tang Yi clear all obstacles to ascend the throne, she took great pains. Her husband died for Shangqingzong, her son died for Shangqingzong, and now her nephew is for Shangqingzong. Zong died, her family has paid too much for Shangqingzong, she has already regarded Shangqingzong as a family property to protect...

"I'm Tuhan! Starting today, I will take care of your diet and daily life."

Taohuayuan, Chen Guishuo and Xu Yitian were all gone, and a one-eyed strong man on crutches appeared in front of Niu Youdao. Daoming himself, his voice was hoarse and dull, and his throat seemed to be broken. If you look carefully, you can find a scar on his neck, like a vocal cord. lossy. .

Niu Youdao couldn't help but look at this lame man on crutches. He has dark skin and beard and gills. I don't know if it's because of a scar on his face across one eye. .

"If you work, please!" Niu Youdao politely took the food box from the other party.

Tuhan asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Niu Youdao tried to ask: "Why did you change people?" He was worried that Song Yanqing would be unfavorable to him. At this time, did Song Yanqing mean to change people or something?

Seeing and asking about this, Tuhan didn't say anything, turned around and left on crutches.

Niu Youdao was speechless, it seemed that he had encountered another person who didn't want to talk to him.

A few days later, the Taohuayuan began to be decorated with lanterns and festoons, and a group of disciples of the Qing Dynasty were busy inside and outside the Taohuayuan, preparing for the auspicious day two days later.

Song Yanqing, who was standing on another cliff and looking out, was burning with jealousy. Because of Tang Yi who had guarded this mountain and wild place for so many years, she was about to eat meat, but someone suddenly stepped in and snatched it away. If he is a son of a famous family, he will recognize it, but he is a country bumpkin, so he can't bear it.

Do you have to watch them get married later? The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow the breath, and finally turned around and went down the mountain.

The time for delivering food boxes to Taohuayuan is regular. A disciple just crossed a wooden bridge with a food box when he was stopped by Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo who were walking out.

"Senior Brothers, the higher-ups have explained that I won't bother the two of you with food delivery." The disciple said politely. He had misunderstood that these two people had been sending food to Taohuayuan alternately for a long time.

Song Yanqing turned around from behind the rock, walked up to him and stretched out his hand, "Here, let me check."

"This..." The disciple was a little embarrassed.

Song Yanqing reached out and grabbed the food box into his hand, turned his head and walked behind the rock.

"Senior Brother Song..." The disciple hurried to keep up, but was stopped by Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo at the same time. He hesitated to speak, but he didn't dare to offend Song Yanqing. Even the elders are afraid, how dare he provoke him.

Fortunately, Song Yanqing seemed to just check it casually, and soon turned out from behind the rock, handed back the food box, and waved away the person, "I've seen it, there's nothing wrong with it, send it over!"

The disciple obediently carried the food box and left.

However, he was still a little worried. After walking far away, he found a place where people were carrying people, opened the food box and looked at it. He was relieved when he saw that the things inside were intact and seemed untouched.

All the way to the mountainside under the Peach Blossom Spring, there is a stone cave where Tuhan lived temporarily. After the food box was handed over to Tuhan, the disciple went back.

Tuhan opened the food box, found a silver hairpin, dipped it into the food with white powder from a porcelain bottle, and inserted it into the food for inspection. As soon as the silver hairpin was pulled out, the part where the food had been inserted turned black.

Someone poisoned! Tuhan's face changed dramatically, his already ferocious face became even more ferocious, he dodged out of the cave, and the nearly 20-foot-high cliff turned over and floated down, blocking the way down the mountain, just blocking the disciple who delivered the food , grabbed his skirt, and said in a deep voice, "Did anything happen on the way the food box was delivered?"

The disciple was startled, he didn't know what was going on, and after being repeatedly pushed and questioned by him, he had no choice but to tell the story of meeting Song Yanqing on the way.

"Follow me!" Tuhan pulled him away.
