Shao Sansheng ran to see him off, but when he came back, he saw people in the hall with their eyes closed and silent, and he stopped talking.
Without him needing to say anything, Shao Pingbo turned around and walked to the table. He reached out and opened the box. When he saw a stack of gold and silver notes in the box, he couldn't help but laugh up to the sky. He laughed "haha" and even laughed.
She burst into tears and shook her head with a look of disgrace on her face, "In their eyes, I am just a person who can only spend money."
"Young Master, don't be as knowledgeable as the young lady, she..."
"What do you know? Her personality is like that of my father, stubborn. Didn't my father always think about Prince Ning? He didn't know that his mother was helping him behind the scenes. If it wasn't for his mother's operation, how could he have attracted Prince Ning's attention? Forget it, follow him
It's no use what the father and daughter said. They didn't believe it even if they exposed it. They thought it was what I wanted."
Bang! Shao Pingbo closed the box, raised his hand to cover his eyes, let go, and exhaled, "Xia Chong can't say anything to Bing, don't say more, Haozhen wrote a letter to Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao
You have probably guessed that I am in Qijing. It seems that I am really coming this way. It is not a good place to stay here for a long time. Get ready to leave."
Shao Sansheng: "Where are you going? Are you going to accept the invitation from the Prime Minister to go to Qi?"
Shao Pingbo took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the tears from his laughter, and shook his head slightly: "Weiguo is rich, the scholar-bureaucrats are greedy for comfort, and the resistance of the people is too great. This alone will consume most of my energy, and there is no place for hard work. Wei Jun is stupid.
He is lost in playing with things, has no ambition to make progress, and is not a wise master. If it were not for Xuanwei's hard work over the years, the country of Wei would have been in danger.
It has laid the foundation for great trouble. Xuanwei has the intention, but I have no intention. Defending the country is beyond my scope."
Shao Sansheng nodded slightly and asked again: "Is it true that the eldest son is interested in Xiaoyue Pavilion..."
Shao Pingbo waved his hand to interrupt, "No matter what their intentions are, they have done all the assassinations and owe a lot of blood debt. They have been in the darkness for a long time. If they can't see the light, they can't see the light. Do you really think that the countries are fools? You can't show it on the table.
People can only hide in the dark forever, and their evil intentions can only be self-righteousness and wishful thinking, which will not lead to success. How can I associate with a group of people who can't see the light?"
Shao Sansheng was stunned: "Where are you going, then?"
Shao Pingbo slowly murmured: "Although Jin is skinny, he has the ambition of a tiger and a wolf, and he can tolerate me."
"..." Shao Sansheng became speechless and said worriedly: "Can the Emperor of Jin accept the young master?"
"Now that I have made a decision, I naturally have a way. I can't afford to delay it. You should find someone to contact the envoys of Jin as soon as possible. Tell them that there is an emergency and invite them to see you immediately. I will ask them to find a way to help me escape from now on."
"Okay!" Shao Sansheng quickly accepted the order and left...
In the evening, four riders came to the east city gate and entered. It was Niu Youdao, Guan Fangyi, Chen Bo and Lao Shisan who were all disguised.
He didn't enter the city on a bird, which would have been too conspicuous. Yuan Gang's figure was equally eye-catching, so he simply stayed in a remote place outside the city to guard Yin'er and the birds, and at the same time, he could take care of them when needed.
Seeing the familiar streets in this city again, Guan Fangyi and others were very moved.
The group came to a remote place in the city and met Wuliangshan's informant here.
As a result, Niu Youdao was a little disappointed. He could not find the whereabouts of Shao Pingbo, but he did not blame him. The people arranged here in Wuliang Mountain could only act as spies or run some well-founded errands, and they had not yet expanded their presence in Qijing.
out the power of search personnel.
After letting the joint's eyeliner continue to search, Niu Youdao looked at Guan Fangyi again, "You have many options here, it's up to you."
Guan Fangyi immediately signaled to Lao Shisan, who quickly left and disappeared into the streets.
"Contact Monkey immediately and ask him to send a message to Haozhen and Xiaoyue Pavilion and ask them directly where Shao Pingbo is." Niu Youdao went on to make arrangements. It can be said that the search was started in several directions.
After the news was sent out, the group also found a suitable inn to stay...
In the Prince's Mansion, Hao Zhen was dining with Shao Liu'er. There were two princes present, and they were served by slaves.
Mu Jiu, the eunuch in charge, entered the hall, asked the slave for a hot and wet towel, and walked to Haozhen and handed it to him.
Shao Liu'er raised her eyes and looked, knowing that something must be wrong with Mu Jiu's sudden behavior.
Haozhen wiped his mouth and hands, stood up and went out.
When they arrived in the courtyard outside, Mu Jiu took out a letter and presented it, "Niu Youdao has written, asking about the whereabouts of Shao Pingbo."
"Another news came so soon?" Haozhen was a little surprised. After receiving the letter and checking it, he sighed and said, "It seems that Shao Pingbo must be put to death!"
He didn't explain clearly how to deal with it. After giving the letter to Mu Jiu, he turned around and left.
Mu Jiu immediately understood what he meant. Niu Youdao had given the prince so much face. If he refused for such a trivial matter, it would be unjustifiable and it would be equivalent to losing the sincerity of the relationship.
However, Shao Pingbo is the prince's uncle after all, and it is difficult for the prince to betray him. There are some things that the master does not need to say, and not expressing one's stance is just a statement.
Mu Jiu already knew what to do.
…
It was getting dark. In Fufang Garden, Yu Cang stood outside the pavilion and looked up at the night sky.
Dugujing came quickly and handed over a secret message, "Master, Niu Youdao is asking about the whereabouts of Shao Pingbo."
Yu Cang answered the question, "Is there any reply from Shao Pingbo?"
Dugujing: "Not yet."
"Don't worry about Niu Youdao. Shao Pingbo will wait until tomorrow morning. If there is no news, give him some clues to see if he knows good from evil." Yu Cang snorted coldly.
…
In the inn, Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi were having a meal. Uncle Chen, who was in charge of waiting for news, came quickly, leaned between the two of them, and whispered: "There is a reply from the palace..."
"As expected, we are in Qijing." Niu Youdao snorted coldly, threw away his chopsticks, stopped eating, and stood up, "As long as you didn't run away, let's go!"
Guan Fangyi quickly stood up and grabbed him, "You are crazy. That is a place for entertaining guests from all over the world. There are monks who are responsible for guarding it. It is not a place for random people."
"I have discretion and go to the palace."
In less than half an hour, the three of them appeared outside the palace. It was impossible to go in directly. They were stopped by guards. There were also monks on the palace gate tower staring down.
After the three of them waited outside the palace gate for a while, the guard who went in to report came out and said, "Follow me, you two stay outside." He pointed at Guan Fangyi and Uncle Chen.
The two of them were not allowed to enter, and only one person, Niu Youdao, entered through a crack in the door.
This was the first time Niu Youdao entered the Qi Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, the guard handed him over to a eunuch to take him away.
The eunuch did not take him further, but led him into a row of houses in a corner of the palace and asked him to wait inside.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with a few benches surrounding a table, which was probably used by the palace soldiers to rest their feet. There was not even anyone serving tea, and the eunuch was watching over it.
After waiting for a while, Bu Xun's figure appeared at the door.
Niu Youdao turned around and stood up, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Manager Bu, it's not easy to meet you. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I miss you so much."
"My mouth has become sweeter." Bu Xun smiled and stepped forward to take a look, "I heard that you were still in Beizhou and suddenly showed up here. I thought it was someone pretending to be courteous for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?
.”
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards the entourage behind him.
Bu Xun raised his hand over his shoulder and waved, and the irrelevant personnel immediately left.
Niu Youdao didn't sit down himself, nor did he invite others to sit down. He was in a hurry and said what he had to say directly, "General manager, I won't talk nonsense. There is something in this capital that I can't hide from you. Shao Pingbo came to Qijing. You should know it, right?"
?”
Bu Xunpi smiled and said: "You are chasing after me! Why do you two have to fight against each other? You kidnapped someone's war horse last time. They haven't settled the score with you yet, right?"
Niu Youdao: "Let's be honest, I have a grudge against him. Do me a favor and let me borrow his head."
Bu Xun: "Is it appropriate for you to come to the palace and play such a big joke on me?"
"Beizhou!" Niu Youdao said loudly, "If you don't want chaos in Beizhou, just give me his head."
His vision and structure are no longer what they used to be. He already understands what the other party meant when he asked him to appease the Shang Chaozong and not cause trouble in Nanzhou. To put it bluntly, Qi State currently needs the stability of the four countries to the east, otherwise the tiger of Jin State may come back.
Come out and take a few bites.
Bu Xun pretended not to understand, "If he is dead, Beizhou will probably become more chaotic even faster."
Niu Youdao: "He escaped here and was driven out of Beizhou by me. To be honest, Shao Dengyun is now under my control. His life is now in my hands. It depends on the boss."
Which one does the general manager want to protect? I believe that with the eyes and ears of the general manager, he will not know anything about the situation in Beizhou."
Bu Xun: "Can I think that you came here to threaten me regardless of life or death?"
Niu Youdao waved his hands quickly, "That's not what he meant! To be honest, he has plotted to kill me more than once or twice. This time he sent people to Wanshoumen to assassinate me, and even colluded with Tianyumen to kill me. For this reason
An elder from the Tianyu Sect has died in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, and I have been forced by him to have no way out. I never thought that I could let Shao Pingbo escape before. Once he escapes, I have no choice. If I can't catch him,
He can only kill Shao Dengyun to mess up Beizhou and cut off his power. I can't let him have the influence of another state to continue to attack me. With the eyes and ears of the chief manager, some things must be serious.
The manager has already made his decision, so I don’t need to elaborate further.”
Bu Xun frowned, "Shao Pingbo is the brother of Princess Ying, how can he kill her without any reason?"
Niu Youdao: "This is simple. The general manager only needs to evacuate the people who protect him secretly, and someone will naturally take action. General manager, I may need to remind you again that Shao Pingbo colluded with Tianyumen to attack me. If I
There is something unexpected. Not only is there going to be chaos in Beizhou, but there is also going to be chaos in Nanzhou. If something goes wrong in the south and in the north at the same time, there might be something big going on over there in Yan State. Shao Pingbo is already a lost dog, is it worth it for Shao Pingbo?
"
…
In the imperial study room, Bu Xun entered. When Hao Yun Tu was reviewing under the lamp and put away the book in his hand, he leaned close to him and whispered a few times in his ear.
Hao Yuntu put down his writing and fell silent. After a long time, he sighed, "Shao Pingbo is a talented person. It's a pity. But this guy is not a peaceful person. I don't know what he is going to instigate Hao Zhen to do if I keep him."
He turned back to Bu Xun and said, "Do you still remember about Mr. Yucang's apprenticeship? I have been so embarrassed. This time this kid bumped into me, so I can give Mr. Yucang an explanation."
Bu Xun leaned over and smiled: "Yes!"
Not long after, a burly eunuch led more than ten people and accompanied Niu Youdao out of the palace.
