Of course, being able to take on this important position has more to do with his father.
His father, Gao Jiancheng, was the Grand Situ of the Yan State. His position was equivalent to that of Grand Sikong Tongmo's deputy. He also had his own exclusive sphere of power. He could help his son who had failed in the Zhao State to get rid of his responsibilities, and he could also transfer his son back from espionage.
Si Nong came out and was transferred to the envoy of Yan State to Zhao State. It can be imagined that the energy within the Yan State court was, and being familiar with Zhao State was just an excuse for operation.
The old man accompanying Gao Shaoming was also Quanqiao, his housekeeper when he was lurking in Zhao State. Now his name is Guo Ping. He has restored his real name, and he can be regarded as being in Gao Shaoming's favor.
A eunuch soon came out of the courtyard to lead the way. The rest of the entourage did not go in. Gao Shaoming only brought Guo Ping in.
The two waited in the main hall for a while before Zhao Sen arrived slowly.
The two sides greeted each other with courtesy and sat down. Zhao Sen said, "The high envoy is here to see me at this time, but what are your orders?"
Gao Shaoming: "I don't dare to accept the order. I would like to ask, has the government received any orders from Emperor Zhao during this visit?"
Zhao Sen's heart was slightly moved, but there was no emotion on his face, and he asked: "The will? What is the will?"
Since he said this, Gao Shaoming didn't ask whether the other party knew it or not.
In fact, he had only just found out about what Shang Jianxiong and Hai Wuji had secretly agreed upon. He had not even been told by the Yan State court before, but it was he who came here to send Yan the news that Niu Youdao had come to Jinzhou.
Jing only found out about this after getting his father's advice and the imperial court's instructions.
Gao Shaoming changed the topic, "Niu Youdao came to Jinzhou."
Zhao Sen: "I heard about it."
Gao Shaoming: "To be honest with the government, I just received news from Yanjing. This time, I can't let Niu Youdao leave Jinzhou alive."
What happened that year, his brothers suffered heavy losses, but he escaped safely. He was a little unable to face those people, so he has always been brooding about his failed return. He did not expect that he would have to fight Niu Youdao again this time.
Wanting to avenge this hatred, this opportunity was given to him, and he didn't want to miss it.
Zhao Sen understood what Yanjing was thinking. To Yanjing, Niu Youdao was an obstacle in Nanzhou. If he wanted to take action against Nanzhou, he had to get rid of this hidden danger.
However, he still reminded: "You want to take action in this city? I advise you to think twice. The power of Wandong Tianfu here cannot be underestimated. It is not that easy to succeed. Once exposed, Jinzhou will not dare to kill you."
?”
Gao Shaoming: "Of course I won't take action in this city. Yanjing has already mobilized a group of people, so you don't need to bother with the government order. However, Jinzhou in this city has arranged many spies overtly and covertly. The Yan State is here
The power is weak, and it is not suitable for my people to be followed here. I heard that Niu Youdao also has a bird mount. I believe that your country's "star observatory" will not be weak here, so I beg the government to help me.
Give me a helping hand and help me keep an eye on Niu Youdao, don't let him escape."
The so-called star observatory in Zhao State is similar to the Intelligence Department of Yan State...
In another courtyard of Liufang Pavilion, a golden wing descended from the night.
Later, the deputy envoy of the Jin Dynasty Liu Dezheng quickly came to a bedroom, where the envoy Chu Xiangyu was soaking his feet.
The deputy envoy entered, screened his servants away, handed a secret letter to Chu Xiangyu, and whispered: "Your Majesty made it clear that if there is an opportunity, let us wait for an opportunity to get rid of Niu Youdao."
Chu Xiangyu frowned slightly, but he did not expect to receive such a reply after the news of Niu Youdao's presence was sent back to Jin State.
I received the letter and checked it. After reading it, I sighed softly: "This is standing up for that Young Master Shao. It seems that His Majesty really values that Shao Pingbo. Brother Dezheng, what do you think of this?"
Deputy envoy Liu Dezheng thought about it for a while and said slowly: "Your Majesty also said that if there is a chance, there is still the word 'waiting for an opportunity'. If you really can't find the chance, in view of your humble position, there is no need to force this matter, so as not to delay it."
Our business. Of course, since it is His Majesty's will, we still have to try our best to find opportunities."
Chu Xiangyu nodded and said, "Brother Dezheng, please let me leave this matter to you."
…
In Nanzhou, a black jade sculpture was wandering among the mountains. Chao Shenghuai, who was riding on it, took out two gold tickets, each with a face value of one hundred gold, and presented them to two disciples of Wanshou Sect respectively. "Thank you, two senior brothers."
, I hope you don’t dislike it, just a little bit of your thoughts.”
The two of them immediately declined, but they accepted after being so kind. One of the senior brothers warned: "If you are alone outside, be more careful. If you have anything to do, contact the master in time. If you are close, go back early."
"Yes, I have noted it down. Two senior brothers, please take your leave." Chao Shenghuai cupped his hands.
"Take care along the way." The two senior brothers returned the greeting with their hands in hand.
Chao Shenghuai turned around and flew away, gliding into the depths of the vast night.
After flying out of the forest, he flew along the official road, found a post station along the way, got a mount, and galloped away.
He came here to go to Qingshan County to find Niu Youdao, so he found an excuse to travel and took the bird mount of Wanshoumen when he was out on business.
If Niu Youdao didn't give him a definite answer about the matter about the four fellow disciples, he would have trouble sleeping and eating, and would be in panic all day long. This time he was willing to take the risk...
Even though the sun is shining and the sky is clear, it is difficult to dispel the invisible haze shrouding the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion.
Niu Youdao was calm and composed, meditating quietly indoors.
Guan Fangyi knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that he could still practice peacefully at this time, she admired his character. Unless the knife was put to his neck, he would always do whatever he had to do in an orderly manner.
She had followed Niu Youdao for so long. No matter whether she was at home or away, as long as she had time, she found that Niu Youdao had never relaxed about his cultivation. She knew that he had a lot of things, but he seemed to be quite relaxed.
"What's the matter?" Niu Youdao asked with his eyes closed.
Guan Fangyi: "There's news over there. Based on the symptoms and possible poisoning process provided here, I guess I was poisoned by the 'Red Boy'."
Journey to the West? Niu Youdao opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt a sense of confusion. He came back to his senses and asked: "Now that we know what the poison is, is there any way to cure it?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head: "It is said that this poison is different from ordinary poisons. It is said that it is a strange poison that is born in the earth. It can only grow in poisonous swamps with special conditions. It looks like ginseng and is deep red. This is
Before the object becomes spiritual, it is a great tonic. It does not have this toxicity. It only becomes toxic after it becomes spiritual and becomes a spirit. It can turn into a red and tender child playing in the swamp, and those who see it will get close to it without knowing it. Once it is caught,
If he is scratched, he will definitely die, hence the name 'Red Boy'."
"Later, some people hunted it based on its toxicity and used it to make poison. There was a precedent of concubines in the palace using this substance to murder their opponents and compete for favors. However, few people outside use it and it is difficult to find. Therefore, poison and blood only meet each other.
It will produce a strange poisonous effect and is of no use to normal people unless the other person is injured. And women have menstruation, which gives this thing an opportunity to take advantage of, so this thing is usually targeted at women. It is very rare, over there
I’ve only heard of it, never seen it, and said there’s nothing I can do about it.”
"Can't do anything?" Niu Youdao tilted his head and snorted coldly, "He is indeed used to assassination. He will know what it is as soon as he hears the symptoms. Remember to be careful in the future, there may be something like this on his hands."
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "How can you see it?"
Niu Youdao: "I've only heard of it, never seen it, and haven't even tried it. How do they know that they can't do anything? If I look at it, they either don't want to save it, or they have this thing on their hands and know that they can't do it."
Even if I come here, I can't save them. They won't ruin my business at this time, and the latter is most likely."
Guan Fangyi was thoughtful.
Niu Youdao did not dwell on the matter, stood up decisively, grabbed the sword in his hand, went out, and went directly to Situ Yao.
"Red Boy?"
After Situ Yao heard about this thing, he was a little confused.
Niu Youdao nodded: "Maybe he was poisoned. Master Situ, think about it, who can detoxify this poison?"
Situ Yao immediately called for fellow disciples who were good at healing and asked everyone if they had heard of this thing. In the end, they all shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of it and still had no idea how to start.
Niu Youdao's hope in Xiaoyue Pavilion was shattered.
Seeing no solution, Situ Yao dismissed the others, leaving Niu Youdao alone, and whispered, "I'm afraid they will leave early, so we have made preparations as soon as possible. Two days later, we will arrange a meeting at Liufang Pavilion."
Invitations have been sent out for the banquet."
Niu Youdao knew the meaning as soon as he heard it. Knowing that they were going to take action in two days, he nodded: "Okay!"
After leaving here, not long after returning to her room, Guan Fangyi came to tell her again, "There is news from home, saying that Chao Shenghuai has been looking for him."
Niu Youdao, who was wandering around the house and pondering, stopped and said, "Bring the person here secretly."
Guan Fangyi reminded: "Chao Shenghuai said that he left a will at Wanshoumen. Once he cannot go back, everything you did will be exposed."
He even threatened him! Niu Youdao chuckled: "If he can go back, I will definitely let him go back well and just send the person here."
Guan Fangyi: "There is one more thing. You can see this for yourself." A secret letter was handed to him.
When Niu Youdao opened his hands with shaking hands, he saw the news coming from Dachan Mountain. Ga Miaoshui from Yanting Palace had personally gone to Dachan Mountain to ask Dachan Mountain to cooperate with Yanting to rectify Nanzhou and use coercion and inducement.
Huang Lie clearly informed this side, neither agreeing nor rejecting, and sent Gamiaoshui away perfunctorily.
The summons came to tell Niu Youdao that Yan Ting seemed to be really going to take action against Nanzhou, and asked Niu Youdao how he was going to deal with it.
Guan Fangyi reminded: "Dachanshan is waiting and watching."
Niu Youdao shook his hand and lit the letter. He stared at the fire and said casually: "It's human nature. If we can't handle it here, Dachanshan won't accompany him to death. It's not surprising to see the wind. He didn't agree at all.
It’s already pretty good since it didn’t cause any trouble inside Nanzhou.”
Guan Fangyi: "What's going on with Huang Lie?"
"No return!"
"No return?"
"It's enough to say it once, why don't you coax him like a three-year-old child? As long as I don't die, even Huang Lie will not dare to act rashly!"
Guan Fangyi looked at him up and down, clicked her tongue twice, and suddenly felt her domineering power leaking out.
