The words fell and no response was heard.
Niu Youdao couldn't help but look back and saw Guan Fangyi looking at him with a complicated expression, and said in shock: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Guan Fangyi sighed: "Why do I feel that you are getting more and more playful now? Haven't you noticed that you are getting deeper and deeper into these grievances and grievances?"
"Can I still look back? There's no point in saying this. There's no turning back. I can only keep moving forward." Niu Youdao shook his head, then smiled and joked: "Then again, the bigger you play, the more money you make." The more you earn, isn’t that just what you want?”
"I think the more I spend, the more afraid I am of losing my life to spend my life!" Guan Fangyi said with disdain, turned around and left.
When the guests came, Niu Youdao did not go out to greet them. Instead, he sat in the pavilion and waited on the small clay stove to make tea.
As a result, Yu Cang and others who walked to the door were not allowed to enter, nor were they allowed to enter.
No matter what grievances he had secretly, he was still a famous person on the surface, and he still had to show the minimum etiquette for others to see.
"Here, come in!" Niu Youdao stood in the pavilion, revealed his head from behind the cover of green plants, and waved his hand.
Yu Cang then led several people in, and he and Dugu Jing entered the pavilion.
The rest dispersed around and were told that important matters were discussed here and no one was allowed to come near them.
Yu Cang sat across from him, looking at Niu Youdao who was stirring up the charcoal fire with a stick of squid, and coldly snorted: "How elegant and cheerful."
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "It's just started, the water hasn't boiled yet, please wait a moment."
Yu Cang looked around, "Where is my nephew?"
Niu Youdao: "Of course, he is being attacked by swords and axes, and his life is hanging by a thread!"
Yucang: "Is this how you want to be a teacher?"
Niu Youdao: "My heart is towards the bright moon, but I am afraid that the bright moon will shine on the ditch. It is better to be careful. Only when I sit down can I feel calm."
These words were tantamount to acknowledging who sent the letter to someone's head. Yu Cang's cheeks tightened, "Let the person go. I don't need to pursue the past matters, just pretend they never happened."
"What you say is unfounded."
"Whatever guarantee you want can be discussed."
"It's enough to have something in hand that you can discuss with. No other guarantee is needed. If you are really sincere, just let me take this student away."
"Niu Youdao, don't be ungrateful. It's not good for you to do things absolutely. It really makes me angry. You know our strength. No matter what you have behind you, you can't live in peace in this life. You I can get rid of those people below for you one by one."
"Mr. Yucang, I'm not kidding! The fact that I can come back to you after I have escaped shows my sincerity. I like to make friends and talk about cooperation. If sir, you really want to compromise and not pursue the case, we might as well put the bad things to bed. It's going to be a good thing. I might as well make it clear that a mere Nanzhou cannot satisfy my appetite. I need more help. I am very interested in the strength of Xiaoyue Pavilion. This is the purpose of my coming back to find my husband. Does he really think that I am just Come back to collect a student's bad words? I won't be so motivated in the eyes of my husband, right? After knowing his identity and looking at his past, Xiaoyue Pavilion seems not to want to hide in the dark all his life. Xiaoyue Pavilion's influence on Beizhou If you are interested, are you not interested in my power in Nanzhou?"
Yucang's eyes flickered and he snorted coldly: "When did Nanzhou become yours? You'd better think about how to deal with Tianyumen first."
Niu Youdao shook his head: "Tianyumen is not worth mentioning, they will be kicked out of Nanzhou soon."
Yu Cang was shocked and uncertain, squinting his eyes and saying, "Are you kidding me?"
The tea on the side was boiling. Niu Youdao reached for the pot and poured two cups of tea slowly. Regardless of whether the other party drank or not, he pushed one over. "This kind of thing does not need to be explained, and it is not appropriate to say more now, sir." Let’s wait and see.”
Since he didn't say anything, Yu Cang didn't talk nonsense: "You talk about cooperation, but you have my people in your hands. What kind of cooperation is it?"
Niu Youdao boasted about the tea soup: "If we don't detain people, you and I won't be able to sit together, and Mr. Yu Cang won't reveal his identity to talk to me. There must be a basis for cooperation in everything."
"Don't say those useless things. Let me ask you, how can you let him go?"
"I have no intention of letting him go! I must take him away."
Yu Cang was furious, and Dugu Jing on the side also had an angry look on his face.
Niu Youdao immediately raised his hand to signal for peace of mind, "Of course, the cooperation is also sincere."
Yu Cang said angrily: "You are holding my person captive and talking to me sincerely?"
Niu Youdao: "Do you think I like to keep your people hostage? Your Xiaoyue Pavilion is not a good person. You don't know your reputation? It won't be long before everyone knows about my admission of students. , I don’t need to remind you of the pros and cons, right? This is the basis of cooperation! If it’s just to kill him, there’s no need for me to come back. If you let him go now, you won’t let it go, and I’ll have to hold a hostage in my hands. So, I don’t want to come back now. Maybe let him go! As for the future, if everyone really cooperates to a certain extent and is deeply involved, do you think I still need to hold him captive? "
Yu Cang frowned and was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "How much does Bu Xun know?"
Niu Youdao: "How much he can know depends on how much you and I are willing to let him know. If you are willing to expose the matter, I have no objection."
…
Inside the palace, Bu Xun stood under the eaves outside the imperial study room, where Hao Yuntu was handling government affairs.
Bu Fang arrived, went up the steps, walked to him and whispered: "Yu Cang went to Tongfang Garden and met with Niu Youdao for about an hour before leaving."
Bu Xun looked far away, "What the hell are these two people doing? They actually got me involved. There must be something wrong. Keep watching!"
He himself couldn't tell what the problem was. In short, he felt vaguely that he was being used. However, the present was different from the past. The Niu Youdao of today was no longer the Niu Youdao of the past. His wings were getting richer and it was difficult to act rashly.
Before, he could just grab Niu Youdao and pry open Niu Youdao's mouth.
We can't fight hard now. If Niu Youdao is caught, the conflict between Tianyumen and Shang Chaozong in Nanzhou is about to break out. Maybe there will be problems and the whole body will be affected.
As for Yu Cang, it was even more impossible for him to catch him by force.
"Yes!" Bu Fang agreed.
…
In Tianwei Mansion, Xuan Wei slowly raised his head after the case, his eyes moved away from the document on the case, and fell on the face of Jiang Shiji opposite, and asked in surprise: "Why did you go to Jin? Are you sure Shao Pingbo is in Jin? "
Tang Yi, who had become a bodyguard at the side, also looked over.
Jiang Shiji said: "You can't be wrong. The middle door of the Jin Palace was wide open. Tai Shuxiong came out of the palace to greet him. He took off his royal robe with his own hands, joined Shao Pingbo, and entered the palace holding hands with Shao Pingbo. Many people witnessed this scene. See, you can’t go wrong.”
"The Jin Kingdom is so militarily violent and so impoverished that it abandons our country to recruit people and settles down in that poor place, haha!" Xuan Wei laughed angrily, "Are you insulting me?"
What really made her angry was that it proved her previous judgment that Shao Pingbo was not optimistic about Weiguo. What made her unbearable was that Shao Pingbo actually chose the poorest country among the seven countries to seek refuge.
The Jin State was aggressive in military affairs and launched conquests whenever there was an opportunity, wasting people and money. Many wise men and talents were afraid to avoid it, but Shao Pingbo went against the current. Was he blind or had extraordinary vision
What shocked her even more was what Tai Shuxiong did. He treated Shao Pingbo so favorably and gave Shao Pingbo such extraordinary treatment!
After all, Wei Guo is still a little afraid of the Jin State. Although the Jin State is poor among the seven countries, it is better because of the integration of politics and religion, and the unity of the people. The Qiyun Sect was founded by members of the Taishu clan. The past leaders were also members of the Taishu clan. The current sect leader is Taishu Xiong's grandfather in terms of seniority.
I don’t know if it’s because of blood relationship, but the descendants of Taishu’s clan can easily possess the physique for cultivation. Taishuxiong himself is the only monk among the emperors of the Seven Kingdoms.
Precisely because of the integration of politics and religion in the Jin State, other sects that were excluded had limited interest space in the Jin State. In order to obtain greater benefits, they continued to promote Jin's foreign invasion.
However, a poor country does not mean that the country is the weakest. Qiyun Sect is good at refining weapons, so Jin's armor is the sharpest among the seven countries.
Having such an ambitious neighbor nearby gave Wei and Qi a headache. You couldn't drive them away, and you couldn't move away either. They had to join forces to suppress them many times to contain Jin.
Shao Pingbo actually abandoned his wealth to become poor, and Tai Shuxiong treated him so kindly, which gave Xuan Wei a feeling of complicity and panic.
She didn't know if it was her misunderstanding, but she was keenly aware that she needed to strengthen surveillance over the Jin side.
Tang Yishao was slightly surprised, not only by the courtesy of Jin State to Shao Pingbo, but also by Xuan Wei's words. Only now did she know that Xuan Wei also intended to recruit Shao Pingbo. She couldn't help but be secretly afraid, and almost bumped into Shao Pingbo's hand again. Shangqing Zong has been suppressed by Shao Pingbo for many years, and she is a little afraid of Shao Pingbo subconsciously.
…
In a few days, a piece of news came out from the Jin Kingdom, shocking the world.
The Emperor of Jin decreed that Shao Pingbo be the governor of Beizhou!
This is clearly a false position. The Jin State conferred official positions on other countries' territories through other countries. Isn't this a joke and a hooligan
But the meaning and ambition are intriguing.
Of course, it was also because Shao Pingbo had little qualifications within the Jin State and had no merit. He rashly held a high position and was unable to explain internally, so he was given a false position.
Yan State and South Korea immediately quit. They both believed that Beizhou belonged to them and immediately denounced it!
The State of Jin doesn't care about this. You can denounce me as much as you like. Come and beat me if you can!
The Yan State and South Korea had no choice but to treat the Jin State, and it was rude to come and go without going back. Later, they also appointed officials in the Jin State's territory, just like child's play, this is all a thing for the future.
…
At the Prince's Mansion, Haozhen returned from the palace. Shao Liu'er greeted him and took off his cloak with his own hands.
Seeing that Haozhen seemed to have something on his mind, Shao Liuer put his cloak on his arm and tried to ask, "My father suddenly invited you into the palace, are you okay?"
"Do you have any contact with your brother?" Haozhen asked seemingly casually.
Shao Liuer shook his head, "No contact yet."
"After all, they are brothers and sisters, and they have to communicate with each other as they should." Haozhen advised him and then remained silent, then added, "If there is no communication channel, the letter can be sent directly to the envoy stationed in Jin for delivery on his behalf. "
Shao Liuer was stunned for a moment, and then understood that her husband was usually cautious and did not dare to use public weapons for personal use. This time he entered the palace, he may have received His Majesty's permission. It seems that his brother's defection to the Jin Kingdom has attracted His Majesty's attention.
"Oh, that brother of yours is extraordinary and awesome!" Haozhen sighed again after sitting down, which undoubtedly showed his thoughts.
Shao Liuer was in a daze, remembering what Shao Pingbo said before leaving, do you think I really have no other choice but to defect to Haozhen
The words came true. She didn't expect that not only Weiguo helped her brother escape, but also the Emperor of Jin would treat him so politely, which made her feel a little disappointed.
Hao Zhen, who was sitting there with his head bowed and silent, felt lost. Tai Shuxiong's extremely high courtesy made him vaguely feel that he had missed something, and he could not help but compare his own mind with Tai Shuxiong...
