"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step." Niu Youdao bowed slightly to him, then turned to Yuan Cong and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Yuan. Please be careful on the road."
Yuan Cong nodded slightly and said "Yeah".
Jia Wuqun cupped his hands and bowed to see him off. After watching the figure disappear, Fang slowly straightened up and muttered in his heart, "Prince...Wang Xiao..." A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The three people did not stay and later left the place.
…
"Mr. Tao, please. The young master is in the Xuan Pavilion."
Jin Jing Shao Mansion, Shao San Province respectfully led Tao Lue, the general manager of the palace.
Tao Lue looked around and saw Shao Pingbo, with gray hair on his temples, wearing white clothes and a black cape. He was leaning on the railing in the pavilion facing the pond. He looked melancholy at the sky. He couldn't help but smile and followed Shao Sansheng's words, "Young master is like jade!"
It is a compliment, and Shao Pingbo's appearance can indeed stand up to this compliment. He must have good looks, a tall figure, and a temperament. The gray on his temples also makes him more masculine and tranquil.
Possessed by Yongrong, one can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.
This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated by ordinary people.
When I boasted about this, I knew that this man was about to become the husband of the seventh princess.
Shao Sansheng liked hearing this, smiled, and extended his hand to invite me again.
Shao Pingbo thought a lot and nothing else. He thought about his family, his deceased mother, his father far away in Beizhou, and his sister from Qi State. He was going to marry the seventh princess.
I wonder what the family will think of such a tainted woman when they hear the news.
The younger sister is a woman, and her position is naturally on the woman's side. She may not feel too bad about it, but what about his father? He can even think of his father's mood. He is now the only son of the Shao family. In his father's eyes, he is afraid that
I'm sorry to all the ancestors of the Shao family.
"Master!"
Shao Sansheng's shout brought him back to his thoughts. When he saw Tao Lue coming, he quickly turned around and left the railing, quickly walked out of the pavilion to greet him, and bowed his hands in greeting, "Mr. Tao!"
"Hello, Mr. Shao." Tao Lue also bowed his hand politely, then called the young eunuch to come forward, took out a medicine bottle from the tray and offered it, "Master Shao is ill, and your Majesty sent this old slave to deliver some miraculous medicine.
"
This was just an excuse. The real reason was that Tai Shuxiong saw that this man had not left Beijing to go to the front line to study, so he asked Tao Lue to find out the truth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Shao Pingbo saluted in the direction of the palace, he took the medicine bottle with both hands and handed it to Shao Sansheng for collection.
Tao Lue smiled and said: "Every time I came here before, I saw Mr. Shao busy, but this is the first time I see you so leisurely."
Shao Pingbo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Tao Lue looked around and said, "I have been here many times, but I have never been in Shao Mansion."
This person didn't have the time to wander around. Shao Pingbo understood what he had to say and immediately extended his hand to invite, "If the chief executive is free, Shao will accompany him around."
"Okay!" Tao Lue agreed happily and raised his hand, and the two of them strolled side by side slowly.
Not far away, Tao Luohu asked: "How is Master Shao's injury?"
Shao Pingbo: "Thank you, Chief Manager, for your concern. It doesn't matter."
Tao Lue said: "Master Shao is an official of the imperial court after all. Master Zhao has gone too far. But don't worry, the Black Water Tower is not a decoration. It will give the Zhao family some color. They have already made the sons and daughters keep an eye on the people of the Zhao family.
, I’m going to cause some trouble for the Zhao family, so I’ll give Mr. Shao a little vent.”
Shao Pingbo: "The matter has passed. There is no need for this."
"Hey!" Tao Lue waved his hand, "I want it."
He insisted on doing this, so Shao Pingbo didn't say anything more. He knew very well in his heart that if he had to argue, it might be His Majesty's intention.
On the path along the way, there were flower branches growing across the path. Shao Pingbo raised his hand and moved them to help Tao Lue.
After walking out of the spacious room, Tao Lue said again: "The fighting on the front line is at a stalemate. I wonder when Master Shao plans to go to the front line?"
Shao Pingbo: "I'm afraid my body won't be able to withstand running around in the short term, and my energy won't be able to keep up. I may have to rest for some time."
"That's right, your health is important." Tao Lue chuckled.
Shao Pingbo: "You can't be careless when marrying a princess. You need to make proper preparations. Everything else will have to wait until you are married to the princess."
Tao Lue smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay." It was hard to say anything bad.
After casually strolling around Shao Mansion, Tao Lue left.
After seeing off the guests and quieting down, Shao Sansheng asked for instructions, "Is this old slave going to prepare for the eldest son to go to the front after he gets married?" He heard the previous conversation.
Shao Pingbo: "The front line? I'm not going. Stay in the capital and be your own prince-in-law with peace of mind!"
"Ah!" Shao Sansheng was surprised, "This... Young Master's ambition is like a man who can be content in his little nest."
"You will understand later." Shao Pingbo paced and said, there were people around, so he had no intention of saying anything more.
There are some things he knows best in his heart. The situation has changed. Someone is targeting him. He doesn't know when the danger will strike. The shopkeeper behind him shrinks again. Without the help of Piao Miao Pavilion's power, he now has no one of his own.
Due to the power, it is difficult to do anything to the outside world, and some things cannot be done using Blackwater Tower.
On the battlefield, the Jin State's strategy has been formulated, and the Jin army is gathering momentum to crush them. If nothing goes wrong, Qi and Wei will not be able to hold on for long. With their absolute strength, they will be defeated sooner or later.
In the past, he was eager to win on the battlefield in order to get the power he wanted as soon as possible, but now he is facing off against the whole dynasty, and everyone in the dynasty is the enemy.
After being taught a lesson by those people, he realized that the power of those people in the court was too huge. Even the emperor had to give in three points. He was not able to stop them at the moment. If they went head-to-head, he would not lose.
, it is also a lose-lose situation. If we continue to entangle, we don’t know how long we will be entangled.
He was rushing in front, but someone stabbed him from behind. The knife came down, and the pain was heart-piercing. He had already suffered a big loss.
There are strong enemies in front of you, strong enemies behind you, and hidden enemies everywhere!
After hibernation, I was full of ambition to come out again, but I didn't want to fall into a situation where I was surrounded by enemies on all sides. It was already very dangerous, and I faced a situation of losing everything at any time.
He himself doesn't know why it's like this. This situation is not what he wants.
But he is a person who is good at thinking and questioning. After thinking about it all, he can only say that there is something wrong with his strategy and he must adjust it.
To fight against the outside world, one must first settle the inside. What he has to do now is to stabilize the rear area, first resolve the hostility of the entire court, and relax the vigilance of the entire court so that those people will no longer target him.
For this reason, he made a major strategic change and decided to give up the power he wanted to fight for and concentrate on being his consort.
Of course, this does not mean that he has given up completely, but the resistance is too great and he has to take a detour. He is waiting for another opportunity, and he believes that opportunity will come soon.
I am weak, facing something with huge power, I have to go hard and suffer a loss, I quickly adjust my tactics and prepare to use flexible means to moisturize things quietly, turn the enemies in the court into friends, and then start again, maybe I can get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as the secret force of Piaomiao Pavilion missed, the secret force of Piaomiao Pavilion shrank up in shock. They were afraid of being targeted, and they were also shocked. Who was the other party looking for?
In short, because of Piaomiao Pavilion, Shao Pingbo and Niu Youdao had almost the same reaction, and they both reacted very quickly, and they all made strategic adjustments quickly.
The two men's strategic adjustments changed the fate of many people.
And Shao Pingbo suddenly became more relaxed. At least in the eyes of outsiders, he began to appear indifferent to the world.
Only Emperor Tai Shuxiong of the Jin Dynasty looked a little depressed. This was not the Shao Pingbo he wanted. He was someone who had nothing to do with the world. Why did he recruit him?
…
There is a visitor coming from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and the visitor is Gong Lince, the head of the Zijin Cave. Naturally, Xihaitang, the head of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, comes to greet the guest in person.
After sitting down to have tea and saying a few polite words, Xihaitang asked with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Gong is here suddenly, what are your orders?"
"I don't dare to obey the order." Gong Lince waved his hand, looked around, waved his hand, and the entourage withdrew, leaving only one person behind.
The Zijindong disciples who retreated did not know who the person behind the master was. In short, they met on the way. The master said they were friends.
Looking at it like this, it seemed that he had something private to talk about. Xihaitang smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal, and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also retreated.
Gong Lince looked around for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Xihai, let's find a quiet room."
Xihaitang smiled, "Why is it so mysterious?" But knowing that the other party was so cautious, there must be a reason, so he stood up and said, "Follow me."
He led people to the quiet room where he practiced, but when he saw that there was always someone following Gong Linche, and he also saw that the other party was hiding his true appearance, he approached the door with a slight intention of blocking him, "Who is this?"
Gong Linche: "It's just the two of us, in the center of Brother Xihai's heavily guarded territory, why are we still worried about something happening? Don't worry too much, you won't regret it later."
Xihaitang said oh and reluctantly let him in.
After entering the quiet room and closing the stone door, Xihaitang was obviously wary of unknown people.
The unknown person simply raised his hand and tore off the mask, revealing his true face.
"You..." Xihaitang was quite surprised when he saw the other person's true appearance. He took a breath and pointed at the other person with a look of disbelief on his face.
The person who came was none other than Niu Youdao.
Gong Lince smiled and said: "Brother Xihai, you must be familiar with the elders of our sect."
Xihaitang: "Niu Youdao, aren't you already in the holy realm..."
"Shh!" Niu Youdao pointed to his mouth, signaling to whisper, then took out a stone ball from his sleeve, crushed it on the spot, and threw a heart-shaped object infiltrated with red light at the opponent.
Xihaitang didn't dare to reach out to pick it up directly. He cast a spell to freeze the object in front of him. He looked at it and asked suspiciously: "What is it?"
Niu Youdao said word for word: "Immeasurable fruit!"
"Ah!" Xihaitang was almost startled. He cast a spell to suck the thing nearby and checked it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Fang grabbed it in his hand and checked it repeatedly. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. Looking at Niu Youdao again, he thought that the other party should be dead. He was in the Holy Land, but he appeared here. He probably guessed the origin of the thing. He held the thing in both hands and did not dare to let go. However, he came closer, lowered his voice very low, and whispered: "You Stolen from the Holy Land?"
Niu Youdao: "Isn't the head of Xihai asking knowingly? If I want it, can they give it to me? I can only steal it."
Xihaitang: "Aren't you dead?"
Niu Youdao: "If you get this thing, what else will you do if you don't die?"
Xihaitang looked at the thing in his hand, his eyes shining, "Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao, you are really impatient, you even dare to touch this thing."
Niu Youdao: "If the master accepts this thing, he is seeking death. I just want to ask the master, do you dare to die with Niu?"
PS: Thanks to "Brother Cangshui" Dahonghua for supporting me! There may be another chapter in the evening.
