Chapter 387: Qi Jing's Smoke Cloud

In the early morning, by the lake, there is a little dew on the grass blades.

As soon as the curtain was opened, Haozhen walked out to bathe in the morning light, took a deep breath, and smelled the fragrance of green grass.

The palace eunuch Mu Jiu who was waiting outside the tent bowed slightly, "My lord's condolences!"

Che Buchi from Daqiumen, Xie Longfei from Xuanbingzong, and Gao Jianhou from Tianhuo Sect all stood silently beside them.

Sorry? Hao Zhen, who was spreading his arms and expanding his chest, was taken aback, and slowly turned his head to look at him, waiting for the next sentence.

"My lord, I received a letter from home that the princess was assassinated in the palace..." Mu Jiu expressed the sad news with a heavy expression.

After hearing the news, Hao Zhen, who has always been low-browed and pleasing to the eye, seemed to be a different person. His eyelids were wide open, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he could feel a murderous intent emanating from his body. The momentum was overwhelming!

The King of England at this time is completely different from the King of England that everyone sees in ordinary times.

Hao Zhen, with a tense face, just said, "Who did it?"

Mu Jiu: "It's not clear yet, His Majesty is furious and has set off a bloody investigation in the capital!"

Hao Zhen snorted and sneered, and suddenly shouted: "Prepare your horse, go back to Beijing!"

"Wait a minute!" Che Buchi suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "My lord, you came out on business at His Majesty's order, so it's not right to return to Beijing rashly! The death of the princess is certainly sad, but the lord has endured it for so many years, how can you do it now? ? This is not what the princess wants to see, please think about the overall situation!"

Mu Jiu waved his hand, "Mr. Che, what is forbearance? There are small hermits and great hermits for forbearance. Everyone can check the little hermits. The real forbearance is that everyone doesn't know how to forbear. If such a thing happens, the prince will not be impulsive." Last time, everyone from His Majesty to the ministers could see that the prince is a person who is good at forbearance. The prince's decision is correct, he should go back, and it doesn't matter if he makes some mistakes. Although it is easy to be criticized, but at this time , Your Majesty will be tolerant! A prince who is prone to making mistakes is a prince who can make some people feel at ease!"

Hearing this, the car was not too late to be silent.

Xie Longfei nodded and said: "The manager is right, and I agree to go back."

Gao Jianhou also nodded, "Niu Youdao's request to the lord has been completed, Qi has a vast territory, and the investigation of the imperial property cannot be completed in a year or so. It may not be a good thing to be away from the capital for a long time. You can take the opportunity to go back."

Mu Jiuchao Haozhen cupped his hands, turned around quickly and left, and ordered people to prepare the mount.

It didn't take long before the tents stationed were set up, and the early troops headed by Hao Zhen had already galloped away...

Qingshan County, thatched cottage.

Niu Youdao's villa has never had a name, and the thatched cottage was named by Guan Fangyi, which means contempt for this poor country.

Contempt is nothing but contempt, but you still have to live here honestly, and it is indeed much more free than when you were in Qijing, and you don't have to play tricks on every occasion, and you are at ease.

Hou Niu Youdao thought the name "Maolu" was good, so he used it, and hung up the plaque, which is the word "Maolu" written by him.

Among the pavilions and pavilions, Duan Hu came back from the cage with a golden wing, Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi wandered around.

This golden wing was sent by someone sent by Xiaoyue Pavilion. The other party accepted Niu Youdao's suggestion and established a direct contact channel with Niu Youdao. If you have important matters, you can use this golden wing to contact. Of course, this side also gave the other party the same gift in return.

"There's no need to send this one to Mount Wuliang, let's keep it here." Niu Youdao rejected Duan Hu's suggestion.

Speaking of Mount Wuliang, Gongsun Bu came, bringing the news of Princess Ying's assassination, and the turmoil caused by this incident in Qijing.

"Concubine Ying was assassinated..." Niu Youdao muttered, a little confused, Wang Hao was really not in the capital, and the assassination was clearly aimed at the concubine.

What's the use of killing the princess? Who is going to kill the British princess? This question lingered deeply in Niu Youdao's mind...

In the 525th year of the military calendar, the princess of Qi Guoying was assassinated in the palace. Qi Huanghao Yuntu was furious and bloodbathed Qijing. Many officials, merchants, civilians, and monks were innocently involved. Hundreds of people ransacked their homes and thousands were slaughtered , Tens of thousands of people were fined to serve as labor labor in the frontier army.

Although the truth of some things cannot be found out, any suspect will have no good fruit to eat.

Xiaoyue Pavilion also suffered heavy losses, and the Emperor Qi took action with lightning speed. Wherever the emperor's order went, the large and small practice sects in Qi State cooperated one after another, causing many strongholds of Xiaoyue Pavilion in Qi State to be destroyed. When it was removed, many of the stalls below were bloodbathed. Xiaoyue Pavilion was terrified. At this moment, he knew that many people on his side were already under the surveillance of the imperial court.

Good fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing! In addition to being terrified, Xiaoyue Pavilion could only comfort himself in this way. Although he suffered a heavy blow, the hidden danger was exposed. It may not be a bad thing, and it may avoid future troubles.

A few months later, the turmoil gradually subsided.

A carriage came out from the side entrance of the palace, and there was occasional coughing in the carriage.

The carriage was driving on the streets of the capital, turning seven turns and eight turns, and entered a courtyard.

A man in a black cloak got out of the car, and when the hat was lifted, it was Shao Pingbo.

Shao Sansheng greeted him and accompanied him back to the inner courtyard.

After returning to the room to help take off the cloak, Shao Sansheng asked, "Eldest Young Master, have you seen Emperor Qi?"

Shao Pingbo nodded, "It's done. It's no problem for 30,000 war horses to go out. You should immediately arrange for someone to purchase them."

"Great!" Shao Pingbo was very excited, and he was convinced that this eldest son can be said to be admirable. He had already settled Zhao Huanghai Wuji in Zhao Jing before, and this time he settled Hao Yuntu again. Thirty thousand horses can drive straight into Beizhou. , saving the risk of transportation, it will not cost much to purchase war horses in Qi country alone.

He cupped his hands in worship and said: "The ability of the eldest son, this old servant is convinced."

Shao Pingbo couldn't be happy, and said indifferently: "It's too good to be true. Water without a source is hard to live on. In the end, they can agree to the value of Beizhou. I don't want Beizhou to collapse so quickly. I just follow the trend. Forget it, it’s nothing to talk about, it’s far worse than Niu Youdao’s no-cost business.”

If he knew that Niu Youdao not only did business without capital but also made a fortune, if he knew that Niu Youdao helped Shang Chaozong with business and sold money, he might vomit blood again.

Shao Sansheng hurriedly said: "That's not what I said, it might not be possible if someone else came, at least not so smoothly, otherwise why would the eldest son come here in person."

"Ahem!" Shao Pingbo coughed twice, waved his hands, and signaled not to talk nonsense, "There is something you should prepare in advance. I proposed marriage to Hao Yuntu, and Hao Yuntu also agreed."

"Uh..." Shao Sansheng was stunned, and asked with a puzzled face: "Propose marriage? For whom?"

Shao Pingbo walked to a pair of maps, and after examining them, he calmly said: "Ying Wang Haozhen has lost his wife, and it is impossible to stay single forever. There will always be a time for a reunion, so I proposed marriage for Liu'er."

"Ah!" Shao Sansheng was taken aback. At this time, Fang really realized that the purpose of killing Princess Ying before was to prepare for the young lady. "This...this...Eldest Young Master, can Missy agree?"

Shao Pingbo: "An elder brother is like a father, and the marriage of a daughter's family is naturally decided by the family."

Shao Sansheng said with a bitter face: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate. The eldest miss still misses Tan Yaoxian. You know the temper of the eldest lady. If you really want to marry into the Prince of England's mansion and make trouble, I'm afraid that good things will happen." become bad."

Shao Pingbo: "I know Liu'er's temper better than you, and I know what to do better than you. Don't worry, I have my own way to make her marry as soon as possible, and live in harmony with King Ying's husband and wife."

Shao Sanxing hesitated and said: "After all, the daughter is getting married, should I discuss this matter with the master?"

Shao Pingbo looked back at him slowly, "Discussion? Is he satisfied with the death of all the Shao family? I have obtained the support of Dachan Mountain for this matter, and he has to agree if he does not agree! Tens of thousands of war horses are transported to Beizhou openly like this , When South Korea and Yan are blind and deaf? How can Yan and Han give us a big chance when such a movement comes out? The two countries are likely to be unable to bear it and launch an attack on our North State in advance. Hao If Yuntu announces the news of the marriage at this time, the two countries' attack will be a slap in the face of Qi. With the support of Hao Yuntu, Hai Wuji can express his support for Beizhou without any worries. Do you know that this marriage will have a great impact on Beizhou? How important is it?"

Shao Sansheng bowed his head sadly, he understood the reason, but in this case, it is really a bit...

Shao Pingbo saw what he was thinking, and after coughing twice, he slowed down his tone, "Liu'er is my own sister, and I am the only one. My mother entrusted her to me before she died, and I will not harm her. Everything I do is for her own good. Well, I will give a satisfactory explanation to all aspects of this matter, you don't have to worry, just help me change my face, and I should go see Sister Zhao." After that, she walked to the dressing table and sat down.

...

After a bloody turmoil, with the king of the West Court as the backstage, the white clouds are still very lively.

A carriage stopped, and several people got out. The leader was a young man with half-white hair who stopped at the door of Baiyunjian, looked up at the signboard, and walked in. It was Shao Pingbo, but he wore a mask on his face.

Qin Mian was wandering around in the front hall, when he saw Shao Pingbo and others coming in, his eyes moved, he immediately stepped forward to greet them warmly, and personally led a few of them upstairs.

Each had their own arrangements. After Qin Mian led Shao Pingbo into a single room, he quickly closed the door, then pushed open a cabinet, revealing a secret door behind him, and stretched out his hand to greet him.

The two entered the secret door one after another, and the cabinet was pulled from the secret door to cover it...

At this time, Su Zhao was flustered. She didn't know that Shao Pingbo came to Qi Jing, but she was startled by the news that Shao Pingbo was coming to Baiyunjian. No wonder she heard that Shao Pingbo hadn't shown up in Beizhou for a long time. Qi Jing.

What really made her flustered was Yuan Gang who was on the side. Hearing that there was a visitor, Yuan Gang refused to leave.

She said all the good things, it's useless to talk softly, even if Yuan Gang didn't leave, what to do with her, she couldn't turn against Yuan Gang.

Yuan Gang sat quietly and drank tea.

Of course he wouldn't leave easily. He and Su Zhao did this because he wanted to find out something. He bumped into him and saw that Su Zhao was a little panicked. He immediately realized that the visitor might be unusual, so he refused to leave.

Su Zhao had nothing to say when he was blocked by a reason, "But you want to have a private meeting with the king of the West Court?"

no? If not, let me see if it is.

"Boss, Mr. Shao is here..." Qin Mian led Shao Pingbo into the door, and just as soon as he reported, he was shocked to see Yuan Gang still there.

Can't help looking at Su Zhao, wondering what the hell this guy is doing, why this guy still doesn't let Yuan Gang leave, and let Yuan Gang sit here and drink tea in peace, is he not afraid of big troubles or is he trying to provoke Shao Pingbo? Are you crazy?
