Chapter 1342: Similar Smells

Shao Pingbo, who was staring at the scenery in the pool, squinted coldly, "I can't say I'm brave, I was forced to do so by my husband."

Jia Wuqun: Your Excellency doesn’t want to come. These things are not enough to kill you, and we cannot force you to do so.

Shao Pingbo stared at Yuan Congduo who spoke on his behalf, "Didn't you lure me to kill him?"

Jia Wuqun: Sir, you are here with the title of envoy of Jin. How dare I kill you indiscriminately?

Shao Pingbo: "Now that I'm here, sir, can you tell me why you harmed me before?"

Jia Wuqun: Intentional harm, intentional testing! If you, sir, can't avoid even a minor catastrophe, then you will die. How would you be qualified to stand here or discuss the world with me?

Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered and he understood what he meant. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "On the world?"

Jia Wuqun nodded: Jia has been paying attention to the Lord since he was in Beizhou. Are you so ambitious that you are willing to just be a teacher?

Shao Pingbo was noncommittal and said coldly: "What can we say?"

Jia Wuqun: If the Nine Saints do not fall, the world will be unfair!

As soon as these words came out, they were shocking and shocked Shao Pingbo. He suddenly turned around to face him, looked up and down, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

Jia Wuqun looked calm: The only true heroes in the world are your Excellency and Jia! If you and I join forces, we can do a lot!

Shao Pingbo was secretly frightened, "How dare you, a mere mortal, compete with the Nine Saints? As far as I know, sir, you have never had any ambitions. Why are you so ambitious?"

Jia Wuqun opened his mouth, pointed at his tongueless mouth, and then continued to write behind Yuan Cong: If I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human being! You are an adult alone, and I am willing to give you a helping hand!

Tongue-pulling hatred! Shao Pingbo's eyes flashed again, thoughtfully, and asked: "How can we help?"

Jia Wuqun: If you want to take over the Song Dynasty in the future, Jia is willing to help!

Regarding this point, Shao Pingbo did not doubt the opponent's ability, but was quite moved, but sneered, "You want to compete with the Nine Saints?"

Jia Wuqun: If you don’t try your best, how will you know it won’t work? If you and I join forces, great things can be expected!

Shao Pingbo asked tentatively: "What do you want me to do, sir?"

Jia Wuqun: I want to know who the person behind you is, that is, the person from Piaomiao Pavilion.

Shao Pingbo's heartstrings tightened, "There are no people from Piaomiao Pavilion. Sir, you are overthinking."

Jia Wuqun: Sir, it’s boring to be like this. Do you really want me to tell you what the letter says?

Shao Pingbo: "Are you threatening me?"

Jia Wuqun: It’s not a threat. I have no interest in the world. I just want to bring down the Nine Saints. The person behind you must have a high status in Piao Miao Pavilion. I want to use him to find someone.

Shao Pingbo was confused, "Who are you looking for?"

Jia Wuqun: Zhuge Chi, the former chief internal officer of Zhao State, is a Nascent Soul monk. The Nine Saints have spun a trap and he will be caught at any time. I need to rescue Zhuge Chi.

"Monk Nascent Soul?" Shao Pingbo was slightly shocked. He had never heard of this matter. He looked him up and down, "How do you know?"

Jia Wuqun: My management of the spiritual world is far beyond your imagination.

Yuan Cong, who spoke on his behalf, was speechless. He glanced briefly at the pavilion not far away. There was a person standing there, none other than Niu Youdao.

After the disguise, Niu Youdao was standing on the pavilion staring at the two people talking by the pool.

Yun Ji, who also changed her appearance and disguised herself as a man, went up to the pavilion, walked to Niu Youdao who was leaning on the railing, looked in the direction he was looking, and asked lightly: "Can Shao Pingbo agree?"

Niu Youdao: "The strength that Jia Wuqun showed is exactly what he needs. It can ensure his safety, allow him to run his own business with peace of mind, relieve his worries, and subdue the people behind him. There are so many Why didn't he agree to the benefits? The two of them are 'like each other' and great things are expected. They should hit it off right away."

Yun Ji: "Can he trust Jia Wuqun?"

Niu Youdao: "It doesn't matter whether you can believe it or not. Don't expect him to believe you easily. Just make him feel at ease. As long as Jia Wuqun intervenes, let him think that he can also take advantage of Jia Wuqun. He thinks that Jia Wuqun is also If you don’t dare to do anything to him, you can still use Jia Wuqun, and he will do it. Don’t forget, Jia Wuqun also killed people in Pianmiao Pavilion. In fact, this is true, Jia Wuqun does not dare to betray him. "

Yun Ji sneered, "The one who did something shady with the traitor in Piaomiao Pavilion behind his back, and the person who killed Piaomiao Pavilion was also shady. The two of them are really like each other." She looked back at him, "Aren't you always afraid of him? How dare you let such a leverage fall into his hands?"

Niu Youdao: "When he knows that I am still alive, do you think I will still care about this? My layout in the world has been completed, do you think he is still qualified to be my opponent? I need him now, so I will use him , that’s all, he is not qualified to jump out of the chessboard, if he jumps out, he is out!”

The banquet at Zi Mansion was very sumptuous. After the guests had a good time, Shao Pingbo and his wife left.

On the way back to the Jin embassy, ​​in the swaying carriage, Taishu Huan'er noticed that her husband's expression was unusually solemn, and tried to ask: "What's wrong?"

Shao Pingbo grabbed her catkins and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Deep inside the Zi Mansion, Jia Wuqun, who was returning from seeing off his guests, also walked up to Niu Youdao, who was playing with his writing board, and wrote in his hand on Yuan Cong's back.

As a result, Yuan never spoke in time, but instead let out a "cough cough" sound.

Niu Youdao, who was sitting, looked up and saw that it was him. He felt a little guilty and quickly stood up.

Both Yun Ji and Jia Wuqun were slightly surprised and noticed the abnormality of this scene.

Yuan Cong then spoke on his behalf: "Fortunately, you have fulfilled your destiny and joined forces with me."

Niu Youdao smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter, sir. I can definitely handle it. It's something that's expected. There are so many people here and it's not convenient for me to stay for a long time. I'll say goodbye and wait for the good news from sir." He bowed his hands and saluted, focusing on Yuan Cong. , and then waved to indicate that there was no need to see each other off.

He turned around and left with Yun Ji. When he passed by Wei Duo, he only glanced at Wei Duo a few more times and never said a word to Wei Duo from beginning to end.

Jia Wuqun's look on his face was a bit complicated. Some of the things he told Shao Pingbo were not just for Shao Pingbo. He also clearly felt that the people in Nanzhou were indeed fighting against the Holy Land. .

It was unbelievable to him that a mere Nanzhou could have such strength and skill...

Niu Youdao returned to Nanzhou, but Shao Pingbo was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed in Songjing for a few days and visited the learned scholar Fang Changqu several times.

Fang Changqu refused to leave with Shao Pingbo, saying that Shao Pingbo killed his brother and his mother, and was an immoral person, so he was unwilling to follow him.

Shao Pingbo no longer cares about these insults.

In the end, it was Jia Wuqun who helped. How could Fang Changqu, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, be able to compete with his energy? Although Fang Changqu was a learned scholar, he was not a true saint with no selfish desires. He still had a small family to live on, so he had to give in...

After returning to Jinjing, Shao Pingbo took a bath and changed clothes. After washing, he got into the study. He stood in front of the map and stared at the location of the boundless desert. After a while, he pulled the rope on the wall and the bell rang outside the study.

Soon, Shao Sansheng strode over and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

Shao Pingbo: "The person who summoned the shopkeeper told him that I will meet you on the island in the middle of the lake at Wolf Lake, twenty miles south of the city, in the afternoon three days later. If you don't come, don't regret it!"

Shao Sansheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing that he had made up his mind, he finally accepted the order, "Yes!"

As planned, three days later, at noon when the sun was shining brightly, Shao Pingbo, who was traveling in disguise, appeared on the shore of Lang Lake, twenty miles south of the city.

There was no extra person with him, only one guard.

Found a fisherman by the lake, Shao Pingbo threw money to the fisherman, boarded the boat alone, leaving a guard on the shore, and took a small boat to the island in the middle of the lake.

After leaving the ship and landing, Shao Pingbo walked slowly along the path in the forest with his hands behind his back, surrounded by tranquility.

There are several simple pavilions on the island. This place was originally one of the places where some wealthy people visited in their free time. However, after the war started, some entertainment activities were consciously curtailed, so it is now very quiet.

Walking to one of the pavilions, Shao Pingbo swept the dust on the stool, slowly sat down, and took off the mask on his face.

While waiting for the person to come to the appointment, he suddenly saw the fisherman who had been driving the boat coming with a bamboo pole. He walked straight to the pavilion and placed a gourd on the stone table.

Shao Pingbo stared at him with narrowed eyes.

The fisherman explained, "I saw that my husband was alone and didn't have anything with me. I was afraid that he would be thirsty, so I gave him some water for later use."

Shao Pingbo's eyes fell on the mask he had taken off, and he suddenly laughed dumbly, shaking his head slightly: "Every time the shopkeeper shows up, he always appears and disappears. I didn't expect that the shopkeeper would personally drive a boat to see me off."

The fisherman raised his face, his eyes were cold, and he finally regained his previous voice, "I think you are tired of living!"

Shao Pingbo said calmly: "Does the shopkeeper want to kill me? Don't forget, once I die, your secret will not be kept."

"Really?" The fisherman sneered, suddenly took action, grabbed Shao Pingbo's neck instantly, and pinched a red pill with his other hand, "Give a shameless thing, take this pill, and those who have tasted it After you taste it, you will naturally become honest!"

Shao Pingbo, who was being pinched by the neck and almost lifted up, couldn't help but open his mouth, and the mask in his hand also let go and fell to the ground.

The fisherman's eyes suddenly flashed, and he quickly turned around and found that a hand had been placed on his shoulder, which made it difficult for him to exert any more strength. He only heard a soft voice behind him: "Let go!" His arm shook, and a huge force A strong force surged through his fingers, and he immediately let go of Shao Pingbo involuntarily.

"Ahem..." Shao Pingbo covered his neck and coughed repeatedly.

boom! In an instant, the fisherman was swept away by another palm. Bang, he broke a tree and fell to the ground.

He quickly stood up again, looked up again, and found that the person who easily injured him was actually the guard who escorted Shao Pingbo to the shore before. He had a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't know who the other person was, but he clearly noticed the other person's strength. Much higher than myself.

Without any unnecessary reaction, he immediately moved away, trying to escape.

Uh-huh! The guard shot out instantly and was at the fisherman's side in the blink of an eye.

The fisherman looked horrified, bang! He was hit with another palm in the chest, and he flew back with a puff of blood. He rolled on the ground and coughed up blood.

Shao Pingbo, who had regained his composure in the pavilion, watched this scene quietly.
