Heavenly Genius

Chapter 369: Old rival

Views:

Yuan Gang was surprised by the powerful and physical feeling filling his whole body, especially the explosion of energy generated from the inside out.

He didn't understand many things at all, and no one before him taught him any experience. He had always been groping by himself, so he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The brothers who were on guard duty that day were also alerted by the "bang" and immediately came over to see what was going on.

I saw the boss standing naked on the steps, wondering what was going on.

There is no such thing as being ashamed of Yuan Gang. For people like them who live in a collective life, it is normal for a bunch of people to take off their clothes and take a bath in the bathhouse.

What makes a few people feel strange is why the skin on the boss's body has become red

Yuan Gang walked down the steps naked, walked to the well in the yard, sat on a small bench, "Help me get water to rinse!"

Several people immediately ran over and fetched water from the well one after another, bucket after bucket, rushing over him.

Yuan Gang lowered his head and pondered what happened just now, letting the water from the well pour on him.

After rinsing, Yuan Gang also realized something was wrong. He thought his skin was just temporarily red, but now there is no change at all even after pouring the cold well water on it. It still looks like it has been scalded by boiling water...

In Beizhou Governor's Mansion, Shao Pingbo walked into the study and looked at Shao Sansheng standing in front of the map.

Shao Sansheng stood on a stool, pulled out the silver needle on the map on the wall, moved it forward a little, and then stuck it on the map. The position of the silver needle is the approximate position of the fleet at sea. It will be adjusted every half a day. If the adjustment fails, it means that the fleet is not moving smoothly enough.

When an outsider enters the study, it is difficult for an uninformed person to notice what the little silver needle on the map means.

Shao Sansheng jumped down from his stool and bowed his hands in greeting, "Young Master."

Shao Pingbo stared at the map and said in a solemn tone: "We are almost at the entrance to the waterway on the Korean side. Sister Zhao's mission has been completed. The next step is up to us."

Shao Sansheng: "Don't worry, Sir, we have been operating on that waterway for many years, so there should be no problems."

Shao Pingbo turned around and walked back to the desk and sat down. Shao Sansheng took out a secret report from his sleeve before he started to deal with official business, and said to him, "The monks secretly sent to Qijing have received news."

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Dazen Mountain, a lot of care was taken here. If you are not careful, you have to do something that Dazen Mountain strictly prohibits you from doing. It would be very bad if you were discovered.

"Oh!" Shao Pingbo suddenly became interested, picked up the secret message, opened it and looked at it, frowning as he looked at it.

After closing the secret letter, there was silence for a long time, and Fang slowly said: "Niu Youdao caused so much trouble in Qijing, but Sister Zhao didn't tell me. Sister Zhao is hiding something from me!"

After Shao Sansheng saw the contents of the secret letter, he also realized this and tried to say: "Miss Su may not have been able to hold it back, and she may have taken action against the cattle thief. Regarding the challenge of Fei Waterfall Platform, Yi Laonu thinks, In all likelihood, it was Miss Su who did it."

Shao Pingbo nodded slightly, "Niu Youdao set out from Qingshan County. Sister Zhao knew the whereabouts along the way, and passed through the vast desert. Most people would not bother to keep an eye on it. As a result, as soon as Niu Youdao arrived in Qijing, he immediately Someone leaked the news to cause trouble for him, and judging from the motives and sneaky behavior, it is unlikely that there would be anyone other than Sister Zhao."

Shao Sansheng: "Miss Su didn't succeed either, she was easily defeated by the cattle thief."

"It's something that was expected. How can this little thing trouble him? If he could succeed easily, Niu Youdao wouldn't be able to survive today despite being in the limelight. Sister Zhao won't listen to my arrangements!" Shao Pingbo sighed and opened his hand again. I scanned the secret letter a few times and said, "Boundless Pavilion punishes Zhuochao... The waterfall platform shocks Xiaoxiao, Tianjing Lake defeats Kunlin trees, and Fufangyuan picks flowers. All obstacles are cleared along the way. No one can stop it. It is the person who can do what others cannot." My fierce rival!" His face was a little solemn.

Shao Sansheng: "It fell into the hands of the Qi court. Linghu Qiu and he were both arrested."

Shao Pingbo: "But I always feel something is wrong. His goal is very clear. After leaving Qingshan County, he went through all the obstacles, just to rush for the war horse. What's going on with that matchmaker in Qijing? We have been fighting with him for so long. , don’t you know a little bit about what kind of person he is? He is a person who misses business for the sake of women. His behavior is more like hiding from others, or waiting for the opportunity! If he is not safe, how can he be together? How could you be suddenly arrested by the Qi court while you were enjoying your time in Beijing?"

Shao Sansheng: "Then what do you think is going on?"

Shao Pingbo shook his head. The situation he knew was limited and he could not make a judgment. "In short, something is wrong. With Niu Youdao's ability, it is not so easy to be caught. Also, Linghuqiu is from Xiaoyue Pavilion, Niu Youdao should I also know his identity. The two of them have been hanging out together in Qijing for so long. They probably have their own agendas and neither of them has any good intentions for the other. Linghu Qiu was caught, so there might be something wrong."

Shao Sansheng: "Does Niu Youdao dare to move even if he knows he is from Xiaoyue Pavilion?"

"Xiaoyue Pavilion is nothing! That guy even dares to attack the Ice and Snow Pavilion secretly. Do you think he has any daring? As long as the opportunity comes, he will even dare to lift the Piaomiao Pavilion!" Shao Pingbo said with disdain and raised the secret message in his hand. , "Immediately send a message to Sister Zhao, tell her the information we have, and ask her how many things are being hidden from us... No, don't say anything, send a message to her and ask her to come over in person as soon as possible. I want Ask her face to face what is going on..."

After a violent storm and a rough sea, the wind calmed down, the waves became smaller, and the haze in the sky gradually faded away.

Guan Fangyi followed Niu Youdao out of the cabin and onto the wet deck.

Looking at the angry sea just now, Guan Fangyi sighed, "The weather at sea is really moody."

At this time, Gongsun Bu also got out of the cabin, and said solemnly: "Master Tao, there is news from the fleet ahead that six ships have capsized, four of which are mounted on horses. Some people have rescued some, and they are locked up." The horses in the cabin basically sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship."

Niu Youdao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. This was not the first time that he had encountered such a thing.

On the ship, the crew got busy again. After escaping the storm, they pulled up the lowered sail again and used the wind to sail the ship.

After walking around outside, Niu Youdao returned to the cabin where the Wuliangshan disciples sent messages.

There is a map hung on the wall. This map also marks the fleet's original course, with red dots on the ink pen forming a dotted line.

Niu Youdao pointed to the latest red dot at the mouth of a certain river in South Korea and asked: "Based on the time above, how long will it take to get to this mouth?"

Gongsun Bu: "It looks like half a month."

Niu Youdao moved his hand downward again and pointed at the coast of Qingshan County, "How long will it take for us to reach Qingshan County?"

Gongsun Bu: "The old man running the boat said that it will last for a month at most."

Niu Youdao shook his head, "This won't work. The upper route needs to be towed. Our ship must go to Qingshan County first, and then the fake route above can reach the seaport. That guy Shao Pingbo is not a good person, he must be there. There are manpower arranged at the seaport. When the message is sent, the ship cannot see it, so the secret will inevitably be exposed. The half-month time difference is too dangerous for us. Xiaoyue Pavilion can organize manpower to go to sea at any time. Come intercept."

Gongsun Bu: "I understand. I just used the excuse that there were successive storms at sea that slowed down the journey."

Niu Youdao hummed, indicating that it was okay.

Guan Fangyi asked curiously: "How come Shao Pingbo knew you had taken away the horse before he saw it, and would come to intercept you?"

Niu Youdao chuckled: "If my position is reversed with his, and my horse disappears, he will be the first person I suspect. I will immediately organize people to intercept on the sea road to Qingshan County. No need to rely on credentials." What."

Guan Fangyi was a little puzzled.

Gongsun Bu smiled slightly. Only those close to Niu Youdao knew that the two were old rivals.

Niu Youdao reminded: "Matchmaker, this Shao Pingbo is not simple, he is very dangerous. If you meet him in the future, be careful."

Guan Fangyi murmured, a little disapprovingly and said: "How extraordinary can it be?"

Niu Youdao: "If you can tear Beizhou out of the Yan State with one hand, you can also resist South Korea and the Yan State. Being sandwiched between the two countries will make them helpless and make Beizhou's business prosperous. You can also Do you think it would be easy for someone like this to ask the people from Xiaoyue Pavilion to help him get such a large group of war horses?"

Guan Fangyi: "Isn't it Shao Dengyun who supports the troops in Beizhou and respects himself?"

Niu Youdao shook his head: "Shao Dengyun is an old subordinate of Prince Ning Shang Jianbo. The old subordinates of Prince Ning who are close to Prince Yongping know him very well. Shao Dengyun is a general. He may be good on the battlefield, but he definitely doesn't have the ability to control the various countries. . All these are the good deeds of his son. The current situation in Beizhou was planned and promoted by Shao Pingbo. Shao Dengyun was just pushed to the forefront. Among the forces in various countries, there are probably only a handful of people who can outsmart this person. countable."

Guan Fangyi was shocked.

Niu Youdao said to Gongsun again: "I guess this guy didn't do anything about Qi Jing this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get these horses so easily, and we wouldn't be able to get away so easily. I don't know if it's because of Linghu Qiu's reason. Yuege suppressed it, or for some other reason. Maybe Dazenshan was frightened and restrained himself, and it is very possible that he had some control and intervention. In short, I feel that his information this time is very closed, otherwise some Things can't be hidden from him. When he sees the opportunity, he will definitely attack me. I was even ready to fight him in Qi State, but I never felt that he had the strength to let Dazenshan escape. What a pity!”

Gongsun Bu probably understood what he meant. He wanted to do something to destroy Dachan Mountain, which Shao Pingbo relied on behind him. However, Dachan Mountain did not give him a chance to take action.

Guan Fangyi said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, I'm afraid I can't keep this Shao Pingbo. You've stolen his horse again, which will easily cause trouble in the future. We have to find a way to get rid of him."

Niu Youdao went out as if nothing had happened.

Gongsun Bu smiled.

Seeing the two of them like this, Guan Fangyi was stunned: "What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"

Gongsun Bu whispered to her: "It's not that I don't want to get rid of him, but I can't get rid of him. Shao Pingbo has always wanted to get rid of the Taoist master. Do you think the Taoist master is willing to make such a big splash in Bingxue Pavilion? Do you think Shao Pingbo is willing to shoulder the burden of killing his mother?" Reputation for killing your brother?"

Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that she understood that these two are old rivals...
