Chapter 380

Fufang Garden.

In the pavilion, there are a pile of books and classics, and Yu Cang stands among them, holding one of them to read.

Dugu Jing came, and across the long table, he presented a letter with both hands, "Master, a letter from Niu Youdao."

Startled, Yu Cang raised his head suddenly, "He knows my identity?"

Dugu Jing hurriedly said: "No, the letter was delivered to the stall below and passed up step by step. There is no signature to anyone, but this letter should be for you, and only you can make the decision."

Suspicious on his face, Yu Cang reached out to take the letter, shook it away, his eyes suddenly focused, and said slowly: "He actually knows what we are looking for."

Dugujing: "Linghuqiu's arrest proves that he knew Linghuqiu's identity in advance, so what he said is probably nonsense on Zhao Xiong's singer. In this way, there are two possibilities. The things were given to him. After all, he was the only person Dong Guo Haoran saw when he was dying. The end-of-life entrustment is normal, and this is the direction we aimed at at the beginning. Second, Linghu Qiu was arrested, opened his mouth, and confided in him It was for that thing, and then the Qi State court told him. However, it is unlikely that the Qi State court would tell Niu Youdao about this kind of thing, so the disciple suspects that the possibility of the thing in Niu Youdao's hands is very high .”

Yu Cang pondered and said: "If Dong Guo Haoran really entrusted the things to him, he should also give them to Shang Qingzong. He went to Shang Qingzong, and he didn't give the things to Shang Qingzong after several years in Shangqingzong. , hum!"

Dugujing: "This son is young, but we have already experienced his cunning. It seems that it is not difficult for him not to hand it over to him like the Emperor Qingzong did."

Yucang: "This is trying to negotiate with us. The fleet killed 300 of us, and they still want to negotiate."

Dugu was silent and looked at him.

Yu Cang pondered for a while, then asked again: "Do you think he will sincerely hand over the things? Is there any fraud?"

Dugujing: "This guy is very cunning, his methods are unusual, and there are all kinds of possibilities."

Yucang: "Then who will be sent there?"

...

Beizhou Governor's Mansion.

Shao Sansheng was dozing off on the table, personally guarding his master on the sickbed, sleeping soundly, when a faint cough came from his ears, which woke him up suddenly.

Looking up, I found that the patient on the couch was gone, and there was another "cough cough" sound from the side, and I saw a hunched back coughing figure holding a lamp in his hand, standing in front of the map and watching.

Maps are hung everywhere in Shao Pingbo's study and bedroom, so that he can use them at any time.

"Eldest son, are you awake?" Shao Sanxing was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Shao Pingbo, who had been in a coma for a few days, woke up. He hurriedly got up and saw him coughing with a handkerchief covering his mouth, and his eyes were still staring at the map. Holding the oil lamp in one hand, he said anxiously: "My lord, you are sick. Mr. Zhong told you that you need to rest and rest. You can't be tired. You should lie down and rest."

Shao Pingbo let go of his handkerchief and waved his hand, "It's okay, there are a group of monks taking care of me, I can't die."

Shao Sanxing saw the splotches of blood coughed up on the handkerchief he loosened, and stamped his feet anxiously, "My lord, you coughed up blood and still said you're fine? Lie down and rest!"

Shao Pingbo coughed twice, and looked back at him, "What's really going on now is Beizhou. If Han and Yan perish, I will never stop Beizhou. There is no use value in the practice world, and the Shao family will abandon me like a shoe in Dachan Mountain, then it will be a real thing. Time is running out, and there is not much time left for us, how do you want me to rest?"

Shao Sansheng mournfully said: "Eldest Young Master..."

Shao Pingbo interrupted with a wave of his hand, covered his mouth and coughed again, stared at the map and said: "I have seen the general situation of all countries, and feel that it is very necessary to go to Qi State in person, and I want to meet Hao Yuntu in person."

Shao Sansheng was surprised and said: "My lord, how can you travel long distances with your body? Why don't you send someone who can do it?"

Shao Pingbo shook his head: "There is really not much time left for us. The war horse was robbed by the sea, which means that the waterway in South Korea is not safe. I am going to lobby Hao Yuntu to give me the war horse, and I also want to lobby Zhao Huanghai Wuji to give me the war horse. I have opened up a channel so that the war horse can be delivered to our northern state as soon as possible. At the same time, we must strive to form an alliance with the two countries, put pressure on Han and Yan, and buy time for our northern state, otherwise Han and Yan will learn that the war horse will arrive soon. There may be a violent attack on Beizhou. These things cannot be delayed, and it is difficult to achieve them as soon as possible unless I go there in person."

The eldest son's body is like this, and he is still worrying about it. Shao Sansheng, who holds the lamp in both hands, has a complicated expression, especially when he sees Shao Pingbo's hair under the lamp, he can't help crying bitterly.

He was in a coma for a few days, during which Shao Pingbo lost most of his hair, more white hair than black hair.

"Cough cough!" Covering his mouth and coughing, Shao Pingbo pointed to Qi Jing's position again, "Which prince do you think is most likely to take over Qi after Hao Yuntu?"

Shao Sansheng freed one hand, raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, and said: "Everyone knows that Jin Wang Haoqi is the eldest son of Hao Yuntu, and Jade King Haohong is the eldest son of the current empress. The two must have a duel, and the winner will aspire to the kingdom of Qi The throne, the other princes are not as powerful as these two."

"Otherwise!" Shao Pingbo shook his head, stared at Qi Jing's position and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I feel that Ying Wanghao really has a sign of a hidden dragon in the abyss. If he doesn't make a name, he will be amazing!"

Shao Sansheng was surprised, "Why?"

Shao Pingbo didn't answer why, staring at the map and said slowly: "For Qi State, Hao Yuntu can be regarded as a generation of heroes. The power of the princes of Qi State was almost wiped out by him. He did what Qi Emperors failed to do in the past. The hands are gradually becoming stronger, but people will eventually die. Although Hao Yuntu's body has been assisted by a group of monks, it seems to be in the prime of life, but after all, it is nearly sixty years old. Nearly seventy, even if an ordinary person is an emperor, what does it mean to be nearly seventy?"

Shao Sansheng: "It means choosing an heir."

Shao Pingbo covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed, "That's right! At that time, many things will not be up to Hao Yuntu himself. The prince below has been waiting for his position for too long, and he is already impatient to wait. At that threshold, no one will be nervous anymore. Let's live, and those who should jump out. Hao Yuntu is old, and it is inevitable for those practice sects to start looking for heirs for the imperial power, and they have to make choices among the princes. The mentality of the princes has changed, and the mentality of the practice sects It has also changed, even if Hao Yuntu is ambitious, he will not be able to help himself, and his mentality will also change accordingly. I predict that in another ten years or so, chaos will inevitably arise within Qi."

Then he turned around and said, "You contact sister Zhao and tell her that she must help me get rid of Princess Ying at any cost!"

"Princess Ying?" Shao Sansheng was quite surprised, "Kill Wang Haozhen's wife?"

Shao Pingbo stared at the map without saying a word, didn't tell him why, silence was the answer.

"Yes!" Shao Sanxing agreed, and then tentatively asked again: "Would you like to ask me what happened to the horse being robbed by the way?"

Speaking of this, Shao Pingbo coughed violently again, as if he was going to cough up his lungs, and the handkerchief was loosened again, and another spot was stained with bright red.

He waved his handkerchief and waved his hand, "The war horses have already arrived in Qingshan County. None of us can go to Qingshan County to gather the war horses and send them back. There is no need to keep targeting them. In the current situation, Niu Youdao The accounts can only be put aside first, and the urgent matters need to be settled first. We still need sister Zhao’s help. Now is not the time to hold her accountable. When explaining, she will naturally tell us that if she doesn't say anything, it's useless to ask. Let her feel guilty for now, so that she can do her best to do things well for us!"

"Okay, this old slave knows what to do." Shao Sanxing agreed.

...

Qingshan County, in the villa, Guan Fangyi walked gracefully to the pavilions.

As soon as I entered, I saw that almost all the dozens of people in my Fufang Garden had arrived. They were all sitting there in their own places. Each person had a bowl of porridge, and in the other hand he took a golden yellow stick and bit into it to make a crispy sound. movement.

Even Chen Bo and Xu Laoliu were no exception.

"When I was in Qijing, I didn't see you eating so neatly. It's embarrassing." Guan Fangyi sneered.

In the eyes of everyone, many people laughed.

Xu Laoliu swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Sister, don't tell me, the food here is changed every day, which is quite exciting. The taste is really good. I am used to eating here. In the future I’m afraid I won’t be able to swallow the food outside. Here, fried dough sticks, sister, let’s try it.” Pointing to a pile of golden sticks on the table.

"Fried dough sticks?" Guan Fangyi sat down and muttered, another name she had never heard of.

Someone had already made a bowl of porridge and put it in front of her. She had just taken a deep-fried dough stick in her hand when she suddenly saw Yuan Fang leading two monks who had brought a pot of porridge to her. She immediately turned her head and said, "Monster, did you poison?"

Yuan Fang immediately stared and said, "Fart! Is the signboard of my Nanshan Temple capable of doing such a thing?"

Guan Fangyi giggled immediately, just to tease him, she opened her mouth and took a bite of the fritters, and found that the fritters were crispy and fragrant, the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became, the taste was really good, and then she drank some white porridge, and instantly felt that her taste buds were all opened up.

The others also laughed.

A group of people thought it was quite interesting. The Taoist actually got a group of monks to serve him. It looked a bit strange, but it seemed to have a unique style. Seeing this group of monks haunting from time to time, it seemed that people’s mentality followed. It calmed down.

If these people knew what Yuan Fang was doing leading the monks of Nanshan Temple, they might not be able to laugh again, and they probably had to check the food carefully.

After Yuan Fang signaled the two monks to put things in order, he snorted coldly and headed towards Niu Youdao's yard.

In front of the dressing table, Niu Youdao sat quietly with his eyes closed.

Shang Shuqing combed his hair carefully from behind, and said aloud later: "Master Dao, there are people from Jinzhou who said they want to buy a batch of war horses from us, my brother asked me to ask what you mean. "

Niu Youdao said slowly: "I don't care about this matter, let the prince discuss it with Tianyumen."

"En!" Shang Shuqing hummed.

"Master Daoist!" Yuan Fang shouted from outside, came in, cupped his hands at Shang Shuqing again, and said with a smile, "Prince Princess."

He is used to this scene of combing his hair.

Yuan Fang walked to Niu Youdao's side, leaned over and reported: "There is a reply over there, saying that I understand."
