Although Yuan Gang has never met Shao Pingbo, the word "Shao Gongzi" is enough to arouse his alarm. It is easy for people who know the inside story to associate Shao Gongzi with Su Zhao.
Qin Mian approached Su Zhao, his eyes filled with accusations and questions.
Shao Pingbo, who followed him in, was not blind. He also saw Yuan Gang sitting in the room drinking tea, and looked at the red-faced man with some curiosity.
Then he quickly glanced at Su Zhao's room. It was his first time here. Judging from the furnishings in the room, this should be Su Zhao's boudoir.
He was a little surprised by the man's identity that could appear in Su Zhao's boudoir.
Shao Pingbo nodded slightly to Yuan Gang, then smiled at Su Zhao and said, "Sister Zhao."
The sound of "Sister Zhao" made Yuan Gang stand up slowly, and he almost confirmed the other party's identity. He was quite surprised. That person actually came here. Someone who could be called dangerous by the Taoist priest was enough to make him highly vigilant.
He could tell that the other person was wearing a mask to hide his true appearance.
Su Zhao smiled a little awkwardly. She always called Shao Pingbo "Pingbo", but she couldn't say it out in front of Yuan Gang for fear of revealing Shao Pingbo's identity.
Since Yuan Gang was here, she couldn't say anything. She could only say to Yuan Gang: "Mr. An, I have guests to entertain, so I won't send them off."
The implication is that you have also seen that this is not the King of the West Courtyard. You can leave, right?
The reasons and excuses were shattered, and he knew it in his heart. Yuan Gang nodded slightly, "Farewell!"
Shao Pingbo also politely returned the gift.
After watching Yuan Gang leave, Qin Mian also took the initiative to leave and said, "Master, Mr. Shao, please chat, I have some guests in front of me to entertain."
"Thank you." Shao Pingbo said politely.
When Qin Mian went out, he closed the door.
At this time, Su Zhaofang calmed down, his eyes fell on Shao Pingbo's hair, and he asked in surprise: "How come your hair is so white?"
Shao Pingbo didn't want to mention the sad thing and asked instead: "Who was this red-faced man just now?"
Su Zhao once said, "The object of development from above."
Shao Pingbo said "Oh" lightly, reflecting on the embarrassment on Su Zhao's face before, and why this development partner would stay until he came to meet him. This was not normal.
A person like him has extremely sharp thinking, and some abnormalities can easily trigger his alertness. In front of him, under his nose, it is difficult to hide some things from his eyes.
But he didn't say much. He knew very well that he deliberately concealed his affairs, and there was no point in asking too many questions.
However, some things need to be asked clearly, "What happened to those war horses? Why did they fall into Niu Youdao's hands? Is there something wrong with me or something wrong with you? Is it right?
Did you cause trouble for Niu Youdao and made Niu Youdao aware of your existence?" He asked a series of questions, paying attention to the other party's reaction.
Su Zhao smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood. It was purely an accident. It was the ghost mother trapped in Yinshan who rebelled. No one thought that Niu Youdao would collude with the ghost mother..." He told the general story.
Hearing that Niu Youdao escaped even Xiaoyue Pavilion's attack, Shao Pingbo sighed: "I told you before, Niu Youdao should have known Linghuqiu's identity a long time ago, you..." He
I really don’t know what to say to the other person. Things have already happened, and there is no point in blaming them anymore. I can only say this.
Instead, he comforted him: "But it's okay, if something like this happens, your boss won't let him go, so it saves trouble."
Who would have thought that Su Zhao looked confused: "I don't understand the attitude of the higher-ups."
Shao Pingbo asked alertly: "What do you mean?"
Su Zhao: "A warning has been issued from above. No one is allowed to act rashly. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Ahem..." Shao Pingbo was stunned for a moment, and then coughed repeatedly. He coughed and bowed, his face turned red. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and covered his mouth.
Su Zhao quickly stepped forward to regulate his breath. When he let go of the handkerchief, he was shocked to see a bright red color on it, and said in surprise: "What's the matter with you? You're not feeling well yet?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Shao Pingbo waved his hand, walked to a chair aside and sat down. While he closed his eyes and took a breath, his cheeks were tense.
He thought that Xiaoyue Pavilion would not let Niu Youdao go if something like this happened, but who would have thought that Xiaoyue Pavilion would actually issue an order to protect Niu Youdao.
This kind of thing is unreasonable and will never happen for no reason. He believes that Niu Youdao must have done something behind it.
The key is that he doesn't have many cards to deal with Niu Youdao. Beizhou and Nanzhou can be said to be one south and one north, separated by the vast area of Yan State. It is unrealistic to directly send troops to attack. And he has nothing in the world of cultivation.
Being able to deal with Niu Youdao's forces, Dachanshan restrained his rash actions to some extent. He just thought that Niu Youdao had gotten into such big trouble as Xiaoyue Pavilion that it would be difficult to get out of it, but who knew that things turned around too quickly?
And it turned around so completely.
Now even Xiaoyue Pavilion has given up, which makes him quite shocked. Niu Youdao and Xiaoyue Pavilion have obviously reached some kind of agreement.
Niu Youdao repeatedly resolved crises in Qijing, escaped Xiaoyue Pavilion's pursuit, and even kidnapped his war horse. Now he defeated Xiaoyue Pavilion again. Even he found all these behaviors unbelievable. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed.
He shouted, "This person is too dangerous, he is actually a powerful enemy of Shao!"
When he said this, there was a trace of sadness in his heart. Under the situation that his power could not suppress Niu Youdao, he found that he had a huge inherent weakness in facing Niu Youdao.
If someone is good to him, no one will want to associate with him, unlike Niu Youdao who can deal with people across two worlds.
"This person is indeed very dangerous." Su Zhao nodded solemnly and agreed, "But don't worry too much. The higher-ups will still find ways to help you regarding the war horse. After all, we made a mistake in this matter, and the higher-ups
My attitude is always supportive of you."
"I've already taken care of the war horse matter."
"solved?"
"This is why I came to Qijing. I have already met Haoyuntu, and he agreed to let me bring 30,000 war horses out of the country."
"Then how do you transport it back?"
"I have also seen Zhao Huang, Hai Wuji. With Hai Wuji's help, the 30,000 war horses can choose a route and pass through the Zhao Kingdom without any hindrance."
"..." Su Zhao was speechless, or he was surprised. He was surprised at this person's ability, and he was able to deal with the two imperial courts so quickly without saying a word.
She poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "It's us who have caused trouble for you this time."
"You have helped me enough." Shao Pingbo brought tea to moisten his sore throat after coughing, put down the teacup and said: "There is one more thing I need you to help me with. Liu'er has no friends in Qijing, and I don't have much influence here.
Help her. After she comes, try to help and take care of her without affecting anything."
Su Zhao was surprised, "Liu'er also came to Qijing?"
Shao Pingbo shook his head: "Not yet, but it will be soon. I have proposed marriage to Haoyun Tu, and Liu'er will marry her soon."
Su Zhao was surprised, "You want Liu'er to marry Haoyuntu as your concubine? This... Haoyuntu's harem is full of beauties, how can you make Liu'er feel embarrassed?"
Shao Pingbo said calmly: "You misunderstood, it's Haozhen, Haozhen continues the string!"
"..." Su Zhaoning was choked and speechless. The superiors had strong support for this person. They didn't know the cause of the matter, so they found a way to help him solve the matter. The organization paid such a heavy price, and the organization didn't say anything. Now
Only then did I finally understand the reason why Princess Haozhen wanted to be killed.
Just because he understood, he couldn't help but pointed out: "Are you crazy? Hao Yuntu is not stupid. Princess Ying was assassinated on the front foot, and you married your sister on the back foot. I'm afraid it will be difficult not to doubt you."
Shao Pingbo: "I proposed marriage because his son lost his wife. If I have to doubt, I can't help it. What's the point of doubting something without evidence? What if you know it was me? Don't worry, as an emperor, it's
You will not distinguish between right and wrong, you will only see whether it is beneficial to him. When it is time to turn a blind eye, you are more realistic than us. Your worries are unnecessary. You have seen the results, Haoyun Tu agreed.
This is the marriage."
Su Zhao: “Where is Haozhen?”
Shao Pingbo: "Hao Yun Tu has agreed, does Hao Zhen have room to refuse? Does he dare to refuse? Compared to other princes, he is not valued by Hao Yun Tu. Hao Yun Tu is a male lord and only values sons he admires or has ability.
, Haozhen's performance was too mediocre, and he never caught Haozhen's attention. From the wife who pointed out Haozhen, it can be seen that he was born as a minor official and his family had little influence. Haoyuntu had no hope for Haozhen at all.
I don’t give Haozhen any hope, I just hope that Haozhen will stay calm.”
Su Zhao shook his head: "I don't believe you married Liu Er to Hao just to keep him safe?"
"An Fen?" Shao Pingbo shook his head, "A tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. Haoyun Tu is the hero. It is when he is young and strong. The entire Qi Kingdom bows to him and can call the wind and rain. Who of his sons can withstand his majesty?"
?The fight is thought to be a competition between princes. In the final analysis, what is fought for is the power in the hands of Hao Yuntu. Little does anyone know that the Lion King cannot delegate power until he is old, weak and incompetent."
"Sister Zhao, do you think Hao is really a good person? He is a man who accumulates strength quietly and silently. He can advance to attack and retreat to defend. This is a truly smart man. He knows that it is not yet time to exert his strength.
Haozhen's wife can't help Haozhen, but Liu'er is different. Behind her is my brother. Marrying Liu'er means that she can interfere with the situation of one party, and to some extent, she can also control the situation.
The big picture affects Hao Yuntu's thoughts. For his wife's death, Hao Zhen should thank me because I helped him do what he didn't dare to do."
Su Zhao secretly felt frightened, Yin Ya bit his lip, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Shao Pingbo: "But it doesn't matter."
Su Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you forgotten that Liu Er and Tan Yaoxian don't seem to be perfect anymore. If they marry Haozhen, will it happen to Haozhen?"
Shao Pingbo: "Don't worry too much. I am just a sister. I will not treat her badly. As long as I show Liu'er's influence on me, Haozhen will definitely treat Liu'er well in the future. As for some flaws, they are easy to solve, I will
Find a way to help Liu'er cover it up so that Hao Zhen won't have any grudges."
