Chapter 256
Niu Youdao, who was staring at the desktop map, nodded slightly, "I can't think of anything else worth taking such a big risk to sneak around in South Korea other than war horses."
Black Mudan asked: "Did you get it from Qi State?"
Niu Youdao: "The general environment remains the same, and the major difficulties that everyone faces are naturally similar. In fact, there is no extra choice in the general direction. The needs of the horses in the two counties of the king and the prince still depend on Qi, and there is no other choice for the needs of a land as large as Beizhou."
"This route almost runs through the entire South Korea. Beizhou is so courageous!" Hei Mudan stared at the map and exclaimed.
"Can you swallow Beizhou if you are not brave enough?" Niu Youdao tapped the location of Beizhou with his fingers, hehe said: "This is someone who dared to fight against South Korea and Yan Kingdom from the very beginning. It is nothing to them to borrow South Korea's waterway. This waterway cannot be dredged in a short time, and I dare not let South Korea know. I can only do it quietly and slowly. I guess they have worked hard on this waterway a long time ago. That is to say, they have made plans a long time ago, and they were not afraid of it at the beginning. They are simply bullying. There is no one in Korea!"
Hei Mudan raised her head and asked: "So, Dachan Mountain is sure to get the war horse from Qi?"
"I'm afraid it's not just Dachan Mountain, there may be a bigger and more mysterious force behind him..." Niu Youdao squinted his eyes and said to himself.
There is a reason for this judgment. During the Lu Shengzhong incident, Chen Guishuo urgently issued a warning, and later reported the details when he had time.
Chen Guishuo made it clear that he witnessed a group of mysterious people appearing around Shao Pingbo. Lu Shengzhong was not so easy to be caught. It was precisely because of the appearance of this group of mysterious people that Lu Shengzhong was quickly captured.
Not to mention anything else, just three flying mounts made Niu Youdao secretly startled.
The price of flying mounts is not low, one can easily cost tens of millions of gold coins, and the Great Zen Mountain cannot afford such a luxury.
Apart from the courts of various countries, the forces that can afford to use flying mounts are basically the only forces in the Cultivation World Alliance that have a seat in the "Piaomiao Pavilion" and are qualified to speak in the "Piaomiao Pavilion".
What's more, it's not just one flying mount, but three of them popping up at once!
After that incident, he deeply realized that there was still an unfathomable force hidden behind Shao Pingbo.
Black Peony was surprised: "Master Dao, are you saying that behind Shao Pingbo there is a greater force than Dachan Mountain? This is impossible, if it really exists, there is no way that there will be no movement on the Beizhou stage, and how can Dachan Mountain monopolize the benefits on the ground in Beizhou? There really must be such a big force behind Shao Pingbo. If Daoist opposes him, how can that force just sit idly by?"
Niu Youdao pondered and said: "That's why I think this force is very mysterious, and I don't seem to dare to surface it. In short, this force must exist, but I know little about it. I just feel that the relationship between this force and Shao Pingbo is a bit awkward. As you said, I can't figure out what's going on."
Hei Mudan didn't know how he knew about the existence of this mysterious force, and couldn't help but look at the secret letter in his hand, wondering if the news came from the same person behind the secret letter.
She was very curious about this, and wondered when Niu Youdao had placed such a deadly spy beside Shao Pingbo, and this spy had simply inserted into Shao Pingbo's vitals.
The reason is very simple. The waterway that Shao Pingbo secretly operates in South Korea must be top secret. It is impossible for people who are not trusted by Shao Pingbo to check this waterway. It seems reasonable to have access to the mysterious forces behind Shao Pingbo.
Because of this, Hei Mudan suddenly secretly rejoiced that Master Dao really regarded her as one of his own, otherwise he would not let himself know the existence of this top-secret spy.
In an instant, Black Peony was suddenly in a good mood!
Niu Youdao continued: "People like Shao Pingbo, the first time I met him, I knew what kind of person he is. He is definitely not an easy person. No matter how powerful or mysterious that force is, Shao Pingbo will never be manipulated by others. Sooner or later, the two sides will compete!"
Black Peony suddenly gave a "puchi" smile.
Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said cheerfully: "You seem to be in a good mood!"
Hei Mudan gave him a wink, "I'm happy, who is the spy next to Shao Pingbo? Don't worry, I won't tell if I'm killed!"
Niu Youdao finally understood why she was happy, and changed the subject, "Is this worth your laughing?"
Hei Mudan contemptuously cast a contemptuous glance. When there were no outsiders, this woman was a little presumptuous towards Niu Youdao, such as playing a little ambiguous and so on. This is a woman's advantage. A man who winks at Niu Youdao will probably be beaten to death.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hei Mudan didn't press the question any more. Knowing that there were some things that were difficult to clarify, she sighed and said, "I'm just sighing, aren't you and Shao Pingbo dead enemies? I have a feeling after hearing what you said just now."
She is a person who has participated in spreading nursery rhymes and rumors. She knows the relationship between Niu Youdao and Shao Pingbo, so she won't talk about the Bingxue Pavilion.
Niu Youdao was suspicious, "What does it feel like?"
Hei Mudan sighed and said, "Why do I feel that you two rivals are all eyeing that mysterious force, as if you don't like him!"
Niu Youdao was also happy, "Is there any?"
Hei Mudan nodded, "Shao Pingbo, I don't know, anyway, you must find that mysterious force not pleasing to your eyes!"
"I don't know what's going on right now, and there's nothing pleasing to the eye. Since the other party didn't openly help Shao Pingbo deal with me, he must be afraid. It's unlikely that he will openly deal with me in the future." Niu Youdao shook his head, and his eyes fell on the map again. "Can the forces of Dachan Mountain get horses from Qi so easily? I'm just worried that the mysterious forces will help Shao Pingbo!"
Hei Mudan said: "It's not easy? South Korea must prevent foreign enemies from driving straight into their stomachs. There must be inspection checkpoints in important places on the waterway, and there must be garrisons. It is easy to stop Shao Pingbo from succeeding. As long as the news is revealed to the Korean court, Beizhou will definitely suffer! I don't believe that mysterious forces can make South Korea indifferent to this matter. If they are really capable, they can't pretend to be mysterious."
Niu Youdao remained silent. He did have this idea at the beginning, but he quickly rejected it. Once he did this, Chen Guishuo might be exposed!
He knew very well that to some extent, he and Shao Pingbo were the same kind of people.
When people face problems, the biggest difference lies in their logic of thinking. Some people think point-to-point, while others think in a fan-shaped way. But he and Shao Pingbo both have a cobweb-like thinking logic. If a bug touches it, there will be an immediate reaction.
Something happened to Lu Shengzhong, and Wei Duo cut off the clues in time, but Shao Pingbo couldn't catch him. If the waterway incident was exposed again this time, Shao Pingbo might be able to identify the target of betrayal immediately. No matter how many people are involved, no matter how many people may leak the secret, it is useless to hide it. Niu Youdao believes that Shao Pingbo has that ability.
It is not easy to put eyeliner around Shao Pingbo. This kind of person is too vigilant and his logical thinking ability is too strong. He can even be described as terror. He still can't figure out how Shao Pingbo quickly deduced that he was going to the Bingxue Pavilion to find Chiyang Zhuguo.
It can be said that the Rainbow Inn was humiliated by Chu'an Tower thanks to Shao Pingbo!
He was silent for a long time, and planned a backhand blow, but Shao Pingbo escaped by killing Ruan's mother and son with an incredible method!
To deal with this kind of person, he knows very well that the possibility of finding another existence similar to Chen Guishuo and sending him there is very slim.
But the grievances between Chen Guishuo and Niu Youdao started at the end of the day, starting from the Shang Qingzong, when he and Shao Pingbo didn't know each other; at Nanshan Temple later, he and Shao Pingbo still didn't know each other; when they arrived in Jinzhou, they still didn't know Shao Pingbo.
Even if Shao Pingbo is a god, it is impossible for him to think that the grievances in the Shang Qingzong were arranged for him, nor that the interception of Nanshan Temple was arranged for him, and he would not think that Jinzhou's envoy who killed Yan made such a big thing was arranged for him.
Chen Guishuo's grievances with Niu Youdao were ups and downs with the Song family, and they were tied to the Song family until the Song family's Miemen went to Shao Pingbo with Song Shu. Chen Guishuo's foundation was impeccable, so perfect that it could withstand any scrutiny and suspicion.
Looking at it now, the role played by Chen Guishuo is also huge.
If it wasn't for the news from Chen Guishuo, he would have no idea that there is such a mysterious force hidden behind Shao Pingbo. If he doesn't know this, he may suffer a lot in the future!
If it wasn't for the news from Chen Guishuo, it would be impossible for him to grasp such top-secret information about the waterway of Shao Pingbo, and he could deal a heavy blow to Shao Pingbo at any time!
"No!" Niu Youdao shook his head: "If necessary, I would rather let Shao Pingbo get a large number of war horses than expose his waterway!"
Hei Mudan was surprised: "Why? Daoist, do you know that once Shao Pingbo gets a large number of war horses and possesses a powerful deterrent of force, Beizhou will easily become big!"
Niu Youdao still shook his head, "There's no need! There's no dispute about the length of time!"
"..." Hei Mudan was speechless, she had to give up such a chance to seriously injure her opponent!
There are some things that Niu Youdao can't explain to her. In fact, the reason is very simple. He doesn't think that Shao Pingbo will be lost forever if he loses those horses. With Shao Pingbo's ability, it is completely possible to make a comeback.
As for him, there was absolutely no way to take Shao Pingbo now. In fact, he failed every time he tried to take Shao Pingbo.
For him, the most dangerous thing about Shao Pingbo was that he didn't care how many war horses Shao Pingbo got, the most dangerous thing was Shao Pingbo himself!
If he can't find a chance to strike a fatal blow, he won't expose Chen Guishuo easily.
"Master Dao, are you afraid that the spies over there will be exposed?" Hei Mudan still couldn't help persuading her earnestly, "You can definitely arrange for the spies to get away when the incident happens!"
Niu Youdao waved his hands and said: "Okay, don't mention this matter anymore, it's rotten in my stomach. I'm not a piece of wood, I know what he's going to do, and I won't sit back and watch him succeed. As long as the war horse is still on the territory of Qi State, South Korea will take it!"
Hei Mudan was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, yes, Qi Guo is not dead!
Niu Youdao looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and slowly muttered: "Whether the rivers and lakes are moving, it doesn't matter whether it's wind or rain! What I'm wondering now is why the guests I'm waiting for haven't come. It's so strange. Does Linghu Qiu really have such a great deterrent power?"
