Chapter 532 Look at the Bones on the Side of the Road
Disdainful, just as he was about to say something, the servant of the library who had just delivered the letter appeared at the door again and shouted, "Mr. Shao."
Shao Sansheng put the letter in his sleeve, walked quickly to the door, chatted with the guards, and then came back quickly to report: "My lord, Kang He, the envoy of the State of Wei in Qijing, is asking to see you."
Shao Pingbo was silent for a moment, seemed a little surprised, and finally nodded, "Please."
He also wanted to see what the envoy Wei wanted to do.
Shao Sansheng went back to greet him outside the gate and communicated with the guards.
After a while, an elegant man in brocade clothes came from outside the gate, and the several accompanying mages who followed him were stopped by the guards of the three major sects.
Those who were blocked insisted on following in, but those who were blocked were determined not to let go.
The man in Chinese clothes turned his head, seeing how carefully guarded this place was, he became more and more aware of it, smiled slightly, and waved to the person he had brought, signaling not to follow, and the dispute at the door subsided.
Shao Pingbo came to the courtyard to greet him, "Lord Kang, I have long admired you."
"Oh!" Kang He approached quickly, looked up and down and cupped his hands: "Young Master Shao, you really are a good-looking talent!"
"People from Kangda praised it, there are invitations inside!" Shao Pingbo made way sideways, stretched out his hand to invite the guests, and led the guests to the hall to sit down.
When Shao Sanxing served tea, it was inevitable for the guests to be courteous.
After a few polite words, after Shao Pingbo asked for advice, Kang He also had no intention of going around, and clarified his intention, "Master Shao was in Weidu and learned that Young Master Shao was in some trouble, so he specially sent this envoy to rescue Young Master Shao."
Shao Pingbo smiled, "What trouble do I have?" He wondered in his heart, is Wei Guo well-informed, or has the matter already spread?
Kang He actually didn't know the specific situation, and Xuan Wei didn't know much, so how much could he know? But he used words to deceive the other party, "Mr. Shao just left Beizhou, Niu Youdao rushed to Beizhou from Wanshoumen with a bird, and missed. Now Niu Youdao has left Beizhou, and drove to Beizhou with a bird Come to Qijing, you are coming in a menacing way, isn't this troublesome?"
He had no idea that Niu Youdao was on his way to Qijing purely to scare Shao Pingbo.
However, it did hit Shao Pingbo's weakness. Currently, only Niu Youdao could make him fearful. When he heard that Niu Youdao had come to Qijing, his heart sank.
Because based on his understanding of Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao may indeed pursue him, and indeed may take advantage of the situation to pursue him when he is weakest.
He didn't expect that Niu Youdao had a flying mount as his legs. He had basically lost his access to outside news, not to mention Niu Youdao, and he didn't even know what was going on in Beizhou.
"Why did Minister Wei save me?" Shao Pingbo asked.
Kang He was refreshed, and it seemed that Mr. Xiang's judgment was correct, and he immediately said: "Mr. Go, my husband personally promised that he will be treated as a national scholar!"
Shao Pingbo snorted, and asked again: "Then how do we get out of the siege? Could it be that Niu Youdao still listens to Minister Wei, or that Minister Wei wants to kill him for me?"
Kang He: "You don't need to worry about this, Mr. Xiang has his own way to relieve your worries."
Shao Pingbo deliberated for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "Okay! As long as Minister Wei can relieve my worries, I am willing to do my best for him!"
Kang and secretly rejoiced, they didn't expect the other party to agree so happily.
At this moment, an announcement came from outside: "Princess Ying is here!"
Shao Pingbo got up when he heard the sound, and Kang He also stood up, and stepped forward two steps to exhort, "This matter must not be leaked, so as not to cause trouble, I will arrange it for the young master, and the young master will wait for my news. If the princess comes to see the elder brother, I will not Excuse me, please take my leave.”
"Waiting for the good news from Mr. Kang." Shao Pingbo bowed his hands and sent him off.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, the carriage stopped, and Shao Liu'er, who was wearing a jingle bell, got out of the carriage, and entered luxuriously and gracefully, no one guarded the gate to stop her.
As the concubine of the prince of Qi and Shao Pingbo's younger sister, no one would dare to stop the guards here.
Walking to the yard, I happened to bump into Kang He who was leaving.
Shao Liu'er couldn't help but take a second look, and Kang He bowed his hands in salute, and then left quickly.
"I've seen the princess." Shao Pingbo, who also came here, bowed his hands in salute. After all, Shao Liu'er's current identity is here, and the identity is discussed in full view of the public, and the sibling relationship is only seen in private.
"Brother!" Shao Liuer smiled sweetly.
The brothers and sisters entered the hall, and under Shao Liuer's waving signal, a servant girl put down a box on the table, and then all the irrelevant people withdrew.
The hall was a little quiet, and the sound of Shao Sanxing pouring tea was clear.
"But what orders does the lord have?" Shao Pingbo broke the calm, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.
"Yes!" Shao Liu'er nodded, raised her sleeve and pointed to the box on the table, "This is a wish from the prince, let me deliver it."
Shao Pingbo: "Do you have any other orders?"
Shao Liu'er said calmly: "Your lord, he has always done his duty, and he can't do things like using power for personal gain. You are my brother and his brother-in-law. It is really inconvenient for the lord to hire my brother. He is afraid that people will gossip, and he doesn't know how to speak to him, so he has to let me do it." Convey."
Shao Pingbo stared at her coldly for a while, then suddenly said: "I want to see the prince."
Shao Liuer: "That's not necessary, why make it difficult for the prince."
Shao Sansheng who stood by had a complicated expression. Looking at the two brothers and sisters, the young lady had changed, and she no longer looked afraid when she saw the eldest son.
Shao Pingbo: "Is it because the prince doesn't want to see me, or you don't want the prince to see me? Could it be that if I bid farewell, I won't be able to meet Yili?"
Shao Liu'er: "Brother, let me ask you a question, tell me honestly, did you lure the enemy with your father, and ran away without your father?"
Shao Pingbo was slightly angry: "That doesn't mean disregarding father's life and death, that means taking care of the overall situation. Father holds the military power in Beizhou. No matter who intervenes in Beizhou, he will not watch Beizhou in chaos, and naturally he will not embarrass father."
Shao Liu'er: "Where is Niu Youdao? Does he need to take care of the overall situation of Beizhou? He is afraid that he wants the chaos of Beizhou controlled by the Shao family? Are you afraid that he will kill his father?"
Shao Pingbo was silent for a while, and then argued with reason: "That's impossible, Dachan Mountain won't let him mess around, and if Beizhou is in chaos, Dachan Mountain will have no way out."
"I don't understand these things. Things have already happened. I am too careful to worry about this." Shao Liu'er got up and wandered in the hall, "The prince wanted to protect you at first, so he wrote a special letter to protect you." The letter was sent to Niu Youdao, but after Niu Youdao replied the letter, the prince immediately changed his attitude. The prince specially showed me the letter to test my mind..."
She described the content of the letter, and her memory is quite good. After reading the things once, not only the words are good, but the retelling is almost the same.
Shao Pingbo's chest rose and fell rapidly when he heard it, and his face turned red. There was no doubt that it was fake. This seemed to be Niu Youdao's method. Back then, the nursery rhymes of the king of Beizhou made him see Niu Youdao's sharp ability to spread rumors. Today, he learned it again , the letter is full of heartbreaking words!
As soon as he heard it, he knew that even if Hao Zhen wanted to, he wouldn't dare to use him anymore.
One letter cut off his way and made him so angry!
Shao Sansheng on the side looked at him extremely worried, worried that his old illness would relapse.
Because I know that it's okay to face others, but when a pair of bullies have the right way, this young master is easy to get angry.
It's just because this arrogant young man has few opponents, except that he has been repeatedly defeated by Niu Youdao, it's a little difficult for his arrogance to face this kind of humiliation.
To his relief, the eldest son seemed tense this time.
Shao Liu'er walked up to Shao Pingbo, "Brother, our family is naturally helping our own family. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely intercede for you at the prince's side. But I really didn't expect that the prince actually had a connection with Niu Youdao secretly. I don't know the relationship between them, but one thing I do understand is that it is difficult for me to open my mouth if Niu Youdao is in the way."
Shao Pingbo closed his eyes tightly, finally took a deep breath, opened his eyes and stood up, met his sister's eyes for a while, then smiled slightly, "Do you want to use my hand to get rid of Niu Youdao, or do you want us to fight and lose both? "
Shao Liuer blinked, "Brother, you misunderstood, I am doing this for your own good, otherwise he always bites your words, how can you survive?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I will get rid of him when I have a chance. You can live your own life in the future. Well, I know your intentions and the prince's intentions. You can go back."
When Shao Liu'er said goodbye and walked to the door, Shao Pingbo suddenly said something again, "Liu'er, believe it or not, I still want to tell you that I never thought of hurting you, the entrustment of my mother before she died, I've always kept it in my heart."
"Since I was a child, I have tried my best to keep those messy things away from you, and I don't want you to see those disgusting things. I want you to live a pure and happy life. You don't know what happened during that time. Now that I think about it, maybe I It would be a mistake to do that, and it would lead to a difference in our understanding of people and things."
"In your opinion, I am doing evil by separating you from that pedantic scholar and marrying you here. But in my opinion, in this troubled world, it is more important for a woman to talk about love, or to live well. Important? Look at the bones on the side of the road, how many people died without a place to bury them, how many people endured humiliation and lived without enough food! You and I, and many, many people, are not qualified to talk about love in this troubled world. Yours Many ideas are too naive, wouldn't it be good for you to become the princess of England? What many women dream of!"
"Do you think I really have nowhere to go except to go to Haozhen? If you really think so, then you are too underestimating your elder brother. To put it bluntly, the current Haozhen doesn't have enough for me Heart-moving, a power that you must rely on. I am just worried that Beizhou will fall, that you will lose that piece of influence because of my loss, and that you will be bullied if you lack the power of your natal family to rely on, so I just came here."
"Liu'er, all I do is to hope that you can live a good life. In this world, I can hurt anyone, but I won't hurt you."
Shao Liu'er, who was standing at the door with her back turned to listen, had a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth. Are you still trying to impress me with such words at this time?
The hem of the skirt fluttered, and she just left without looking back.
Shao Pingbo, who was standing in the hall watching, slowly closed his eyes, his face deteriorating and miserable, standing like a rotten tree.
