With disdain, just as he was about to say something, the officer who had just delivered the letter appeared at the door again and shouted, "Mr. Shao."
Shao Sansheng received the letter and put it in his sleeve. He quickly went to the door. After talking with the officer, he quickly came back and reported: "My eldest son, Kang He, the envoy of the state of Wei in Qijing, wants to see you."
Shao Pingbo was silent for a moment, seemingly a little surprised, but finally nodded, "Please."
He also wanted to see what the guard wanted to do when he saw him.
Shao Sansheng returned to the gate to greet him and communicated with the guards.
After a while, an elegant man in rich attire came out of the gate, and the following mage followers were stopped by guards from the three major sects.
The person who was stopped insisted on following, but the person who stopped him refused to give in.
The man in rich clothes turned around and saw that the place was so carefully guarded. He knew more and more. He smiled slightly and waved his hand to the person he brought, indicating that he didn't need to follow. The argument at the door calmed down.
Shao Pingbo came to the courtyard and greeted him with his arms raised, "Master Kang, I have looked up to you for a long time."
"Oh!" Kang He quickly approached, looked up and down and said, "Master Shao, you are indeed a talented person!"
"Kangda people are so complimentary, there is an invitation inside!" Shao Pingbo stepped aside to make way, extended his hand to invite the guests, and led the guests to sit down in the hall.
When serving tea in Shaosan Province, guests are bound to be polite.
After a few polite words, and after Shao Pingbo asked for advice, Kang He did not want to go around and made his purpose clear, "My husband learned in Weidu that Mr. Shao was in some trouble, so he sent an envoy here to rescue Mr. Shao."
Shao Pingbo smiled and asked, "What trouble do I have?" He was surprised and wondered, was Wei Guo well-informed, or had the matter already spread?
Kang He actually didn't know the specific situation. Xuan Wei didn't know much, so how much could he know? But he used words to deceive the other party, "As soon as Mr. Shao left Beizhou, Niu Youdao came from behind on a bird."
The Ten Thousand Beast Sect rushed to Beizhou and missed. Now Niu Youdao has left Beizhou and is coming to Qijing on a bird. It is coming with great force. Isn't this trouble?"
He had no idea that Niu Youdao was purely trying to scare Shao Pingbo on his way to Qijing.
However, it really hit Shao Pingbo's weakness. Currently, the only person he could be afraid of was Niu Youdao. When he heard that Niu Youdao had rushed to Qi Jing, his heart sank.
Because based on his understanding of Niu Youdao, it is indeed possible that Niu Youdao will not let go of him, and it is indeed possible that he will take advantage of the situation to pursue him when he is at his weakest.
He didn't expect Niu Youdao to have a flying mount as a foot power. He has basically lost the channels to obtain information from the outside world. Not to mention Niu Youdao, he doesn't even know what is going on in Beizhou.
"Why did Prime Minister Wei want to rescue me?" Shao Pingbo asked.
Kang He was refreshed. It seemed that his husband's judgment was correct, and he immediately said: "My husband appreciates the young master's talents very much. The small area in Beizhou is not enough for the young master to display his talents. The young master is willing to provide a greater place for the young master to display his talents. If the young master can
Go, my husband has personally promised that he will be treated as a scholar of the country!"
Shao Pingbo sighed and asked: "Then how can we get out of the siege? Is it possible that Niu Youdao can still listen to the Prime Minister Wei, or that the Prime Minister Wei wants to help me kill him?"
Kang He: "You don't need to worry about this. My husband has his own way to relieve your worries."
Shao Pingbo thought about it for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "Okay! As long as Prime Minister Wei can relieve my worries, I am willing to work hard for Prime Minister Wei!"
Kang He was secretly happy, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily.
At this moment, an announcement came from outside: "The Princess of England has arrived!"
Shao Pingbo stood up when he heard the sound. Kang He also stood up and took two steps forward to warn, "This matter must not be leaked to avoid anyone making things difficult. I will make arrangements for the young master right now. The young master will wait for my news. When the princess comes to see my brother, I will not
Sorry to bother you, I’ll take my leave now.”
"Waiting for Mr. Kang's good news." Shao Pingbo said goodbye.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, the carriage stopped. Shao Liuer, who was wearing jingle rings, got off the carriage and walked in gracefully. No one guarding the door stopped him.
As the princess of the prince of Qi and the sister of Shao Pingbo, naturally no one from the guards here dares to stop her.
When I walked to the yard, I happened to bump into Kang He leaving.
Shao Liu'er couldn't help but take a second look, and Kang He also bowed his hands in greeting, and then left quickly.
"I've met the princess." Shao Pingbo, who also arrived, also bowed his hands in greeting. After all, Shao Liuer's current identity is here. The identity is discussed in public, but the relationship between brother and sister is only seen in private.
"Brother!" Shao Liuer smiled brightly.
The brother and sister entered the hall. Under Shao Liuer's wave, a maid put down a box on the table, and then all the irrelevant people left.
The hall was slightly quiet, and the sound of Shao Sansheng pouring tea and water could be heard clearly.
"But what is the prince's order?" Shao Pingbo broke the calm, with a little expectation in his heart.
"Yes!" Shao Liu'er nodded, raised his sleeves and pointed at the box on the table, "This is a little thought from the prince, let me deliver it."
Shao Pingbo: "Do you have any other instructions?"
Shao Liu'er said calmly: "The prince has always been a responsible person and would not do anything to seek personal gain with power. You are my brother and his brother-in-law. The prince is really inconvenient to hire my brother. He is afraid of people gossiping and doesn't know how to talk to him, so he has to let me do it."
Convey.”
Shao Pingbo stared at her coldly for a while, then suddenly said: "I want to see the prince."
Shao Liuer: "It's not necessary, why make it difficult for the prince."
Shao Sansheng, who was standing nearby, had a complicated expression. Looking at the two brothers and sisters, the young lady had changed. She no longer looked afraid when seeing the eldest son.
Shao Pingbo: "Is it because the prince doesn't want to see me, or you don't want the prince to see me? Isn't it okay for me to say goodbye and meet you as per the courtesy?"
Shao Liu'er: "Brother, let me ask you, tell me honestly, did you not care about your father's life or death, took your father to lure the enemy, and abandoned your father and ran away?"
Shao Pingbo looked a little angry: "That doesn't mean not caring about my father's life or death, that means caring about the overall situation. My father holds the military power in Beizhou. No matter who intervenes in Beizhou, they will not watch the chaos in Beizhou, and naturally they will not embarrass my father."
Shao Liuer: "Where is Niu Youdao? Does he need to take care of the overall situation of Beizhou? He is probably eager for the chaos in Beizhou under the control of the Shao family? Aren't you afraid that he will kill his father?"
Shao Pingbo was silent for a moment, then argued with reason: "That's impossible, Dachan Mountain will not let him mess around. If Beizhou is in chaos, Dachan Mountain will have no way out."
"I don't understand these things. The matter has already happened. I have been very cautious myself, but I really don't have the ability to worry about this." Shao Liuer stood up and wandered in the hall, "The prince wanted to protect you at first, so he wrote a special letter for this purpose.
The letter was written to Niu Youdao, but after Niu Youdao replied to the letter, the prince immediately changed his attitude. The prince specially read the letter to me to test my mind..."
She recounted the contents of the letter, and her memory was quite good. She read what she read once, and although she didn't say a single word correctly, she repeated it almost as well.
Shao Pingbo's chest rose and fell rapidly when he heard this, and his face turned red. He did not doubt that it was fake. This seemed to be Niu Youdao's method. Back then, the Beizhou King's nursery rhymes showed him Niu Youdao's sharp ability to spread rumors. Today, he learned it again.
, the letter is full of heartbreaking words!
As soon as he heard this, he knew that even if Haozhen had the intention, he would not dare to use him again.
One letter cut off his path and made him so angry!
Shao Sansheng looked at him with great worry, worried that his old illness would relapse.
Because I know that it's okay to face others, but when it comes to courting an ox, this young man will easily get angry and angry.
Just because this arrogant and arrogant young master had few opponents and was repeatedly defeated at the hands of Niu Youdao, it was a bit difficult for him to face this humiliation with his arrogance and arrogance.
What made him relieved was that the eldest son seemed to have calmed down this time.
Shao Liu'er walked up to Shao Pingbo and said, "Brother, our family naturally helps our own family. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely intercede for you on the prince's side. But I really didn't expect that the prince would secretly have contact with Niu Youdao.
I don’t know what the relationship between them is, but I do know one thing. If someone is trying to get in the way, it’s hard for me to speak out.”
Shao Pingbo closed his eyes tightly, finally took a deep breath, opened his eyes and stood up, looked at his sister for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly, "Do you want to use my hand to get rid of Niu Youdao, or do you want us to fight and lose both sides?"
"
Shao Liuer blinked and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. I am doing this for your own good. Otherwise, how can you live in peace if he keeps biting your words?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I will naturally get rid of him when I have the chance. You can live your own life in the future. Okay, I know your thoughts and the prince's wishes. You can go back."
When Shao Liu'er said goodbye and walked to the door, Shao Pingbo suddenly said something again, "Liu'er, whether you believe it or not, I still have to tell you that I never thought of hurting you. My mother's entrustment before her death.
I always keep it in my mind.”
"Growing up, I tried my best to keep those messy things away from you, and I didn't want you to see those disgusting things. I wanted you to live a simple and happy life. You don't know what happened during that period. Now that I think about it, maybe I
It would be a mistake to do so, which leads to different understandings of people and things."
"In your opinion, I am doing evil by separating you from that pedantic scholar and letting you marry here. But in my opinion, in these troubled times, for a woman, whether it is more important to fall in love or to live well,
Important? Look at the bones on the roadside. How many people died without a burial place, how many people endured humiliation and lived without food! You, me, and many, many people are not qualified to fall in love in this troubled world. Yours
Many of your ideas are too naive. Wouldn't it be better for you to become the Princess of England? It's something that many women dream of!"
"Do you think I really have no other choice but to defect to Haozhen? If you really think so, then you are looking down on your elder brother too much. To put it bluntly, the current Haozhen doesn't have enough for me.
Heartbeat, a force that must be relied upon. I am just worried about the fall of Beizhou. I am worried that you will lose that piece of influence due to my loss. I am worried that you will be bullied here without the influence of your mother's family to rely on. So
I just came here."
"Liu'er, everything I do is really just hope that you can live well. I can hurt anyone in this world, but I will not hurt you."
Shao Liu'er, who was standing at the door with his back turned to listen, had a hint of sarcasm on his lips. At this time, are you still trying to impress me with such words?
The hem of her skirt swayed and she just left without looking back.
Shao Pingbo, who was standing in the hall and watching, slowly closed his eyes, his face faded and miserable, standing like a rotten tree.
