As he said, there were some records of Niu Youdao's situation in the Saint State. It was not very detailed, but it was enough to explain some problems.
After reading it, Shao Pingbo fell into deep thought.
When he came back to his senses, he found Shao Sansheng was already by his side. After a while, Shao Sansheng asked, "Does His Majesty have a new decree?"
Shao Pingbo shook his head, "It has nothing to do with His Majesty. That person is from the Misty Pavilion."
"Ah!" Shao Sansheng was shocked, "Why … is someone from the Misty Pavilion looking for Young Master?"
Shao Pingbo did not hide it from him and showed him the paper.
Speaking of which, he, Shao Pingbo, could be considered to be a feudal lord in the past, and he'd once held great authority over an area, yet he'd fallen to such a state and only had a trusted aide by his side.
After reading the paper, Shao Sansheng asked, "Young Master, do they want you to help them deal with Niu Youdao?"
Shao Pingbo laughed at himself, "I lost to Niu Youdao and Niu Youdao is in the hands of the Misty Pavilion. I am trapped here with no power or influence. If they really want to deal with Niu Youdao, they won't even think about me."
Shao Sansheng showed him the paper, "Then this is …?"
Shao Pingbo said, "They don't want me to help them deal with Niu Youdao. They want to help me deal with Niu Youdao."
Shao Sansheng was confused, "Why would someone from the Misty Pavilion suddenly show up?"
"It would be strange if he had good intentions. Of course, he's up to no good. He has conditions. He wants me to instigate a war …" Shao Pingbo explained the situation.
Shao Sansheng was confused, "Young Master doesn't have the right to decide?"
Slowly, Shao Pingbo said, "There are conflicts in places with many people. I think there is internal strife in the Misty Pavilion."
"Internal strife in the Misty Pavilion?" Shao Sansheng was surprised, "Why do you think so? Did he tell Young Master? "
Shao Pingbo shook his head, "Do you think there are other people from the Misty Pavilion hiding in the palace?"
Shao Sansheng hesitated and said, "The Misty Pavilion controls the world, how could a country's central government let go of surveillance? There should be some, more or less."
Shao Pingbo said, "Rumor has it that the Misty Pavilion has infiltrated every nook and cranny. I'm afraid that not only the imperial palace of the Jin Nation, but also the Cloud Equipment Sect. Since that's the case, why bother looking for me? The members of the Misty Pavilion in the palace can go to His Majesty directly. As long as they reveal their identity as members of the Misty Pavilion, both His Majesty and the Cloud Equipment Sect would be more than happy to have the Misty Pavilion's support, and the Jin State would immediately start a war. "
"There's an easy way, but you didn't use it. I don't believe that you're trying to keep it a secret. If you really wanted to keep it a secret, as long as the Misty Pavilion gave the order, how would Your Majesty dare to reveal that it was the Misty Pavilion who instigated it? Naturally, His Majesty had to keep it strictly confidential. But the people from the Misty Pavilion had to sneakily find me. What did this mean? This means that this is not the Misty Pavilion's intention. "
Shao Sansheng was alarmed, "Young master, are you saying that this person is a fake member of the Misty Pavilion? That's not right … "Thinking that Fang Zhengzhi was talking about the internal strife of the Misty Pavilion, he quickly changed his words.
Shao Pingbo reached out to take back the paper in his hand and looked at the contents. "Some of the information here should have come from the Saint Realm. If it's not someone from the Misty Pavilion, then it must have something to do with the Misty Pavilion. There shouldn't be any problem with the other person's identity. It's just that the nine powers of the Misty Pavilion coexist together. I'm afraid that someone is doing this behind the Misty Pavilion's back. They don't want the Misty Pavilion to know, so they naturally wouldn't dare to alert the other members of the Misty Pavilion in the palace. "
"If this is the reverse, then it can explain why they found me. I was the one who set the stage for the war against the Kingdom of Wei, and I have always been eager to push for the war against the Kingdom of Wei. With me pushing for this matter, it is only natural that the Misty Pavilion wouldn't suspect anything. "
Shao Sansheng said, "Since the other party knows that Young Master has been pushing for this matter, then they should know Young Master's difficulties. It's not that Young Master doesn't want to, but the Imperial Court has never agreed to it. They know that it's not possible, but they still force it. Isn't this making things difficult for Young Master?"
Turning the paper upside down on the table, Shao Pingbo smiled coldly. "Of course they know my difficulties, but they still want to do it. This means that they are confident, and it can only mean that they have people in the palace or the Cloud Weapon Sect supporting them. I am just going with the flow. My appearance is just a cover, a cover to hide the people supporting me from the Misty Pavilion. So this time, I'm afraid it will be different. As long as I give a suitable reason, the war against the Kingdom of Wei will be unavoidable. The time has come! "
What he said made sense! Shao Sansheng nodded slightly, but then hesitated. "Pushing for the war against the Kingdom of Wei? Why would they do this?"
Shao Pingbo said indifferently, "According to the Misty Pavilion's usual style of doing things, they would look on coldly from the sidelines when there are conflicts between countries. They would not directly intervene unless they have no other choice. Looking at how they secretly found me, this shows that there is a problem. There are people in the Misty Pavilion who are secretly violating the rules. As for why, our knowledge of the Misty Pavilion's internal situation is limited. It is hard for us to make a judgment and understand what is going on. "
"However, there is one thing that we can be sure of. There must be a reason why some people would not hesitate to push for the war against the Kingdom of Wei. This matter is too abnormal … From what we know, the biggest possibility is that the Nine Saints are trying to reorganize the Misty Pavilion … Although I don't know why some people are pushing for the war against the Kingdom of Wei, there must be someone who is desperate because of the Nine Saints. "
Shao Sansheng could not determine the truth of the matter, but he was concerned about the situation in front of him. "Young Master, what should we do now?"
Shao Pingbo sighed. "I don't know where they are or how powerful they are. If they find me, do I have a choice? If I don't do it, they will not let me go. If I do it, I'm afraid they will kill me afterward. "
"This …" Shao Sansheng's heart was burning with anxiety. He realized that a disaster had fallen from the sky.
Shao Pingbo stood up and paced back and forth in the pavilion. "However, they have underestimated me and bullied me for my ignorance. Do they think that I will obey them obediently by using the Misty Pavilion? They want to make use of me. I have been troubled by the lack of progress since I was trapped here. Now that they have come to me, I can borrow them. Want to kill me? I would like to see if they have the guts to do so! "
He turned back to the documents on the table. "Pack up. I am going to the palace." He turned around and strode away.
The carriage escorted the Emperor to the palace. Taishu Xiong was dealing with the state affairs, so he had to wait.
When Taishu Xiong found the time to summon him, Shao Pingbo entered the imperial study and bowed before reporting, "Your Majesty, the war against Wei cannot be delayed any longer."
Taishu Xiong knew that Shao Pingbo would talk about this matter. He sighed and said, "Lord Shao, you know the situation. If the Cloud Equipment Sect doesn't give in, I can't do anything about it. Don't mention this matter anymore. I will inform you when the time is right. You can leave now!"
Shao Pingbo wasn't willing to leave. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report. The situation in Wei cannot be delayed any longer. Wei Junxuan Chengtian was insensible before, but he is not a fool. Now that he has started to come into contact with state affairs, he will gradually understand the pros and cons. Once he is enlightened, he will lose the chance to incite them. We will lose a golden opportunity! "
Taishu Xiong was silent, his heart heavy.
Shao Pingbo continued, "Your Majesty, I know the worries of the Cloud Equipment Sect. Elder Taishu Shan City was killed in the Saint Land, and Elder Taishu Shan Hai's situation is unknown. Every action of the two elders in the Saint Land represents the Cloud Equipment Sect. Before the situation is clear, the Cloud Equipment Sect will not dare to act blindly without thinking. However, they are worrying too much. How can the Great Jin influence Elder Taishu Shan Hai's situation in the Saint Land? It won't help! "
"If Elder Taishu really wants to implicate the Cloud Equipment Sect in the Saint Land, the Cloud Equipment Sect will not be able to escape. Since that is the case, what is there to be afraid of? How can they have a future if they are overcautious? If they miss this golden opportunity, the Great Jin will never have the chance to advance eastward. They will be in poverty for a long time. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How can you be willing to be like this … "
…
In the open space of the Misty Pavilion on Heaven Capital Peak, a group of people surrounded. Some of them had ugly expressions and some were whispering.
Surrounded by the crowd, there was a person lying in a pool of blood. His neck was slit, and he died with his eyes wide open.
Among the crowd, the Elder of the Goddess Sect, Qi Bisang, had an ugly expression on her face. She stared at the dead man and her face tensed up. The dead man was one of the three deacons of the Bank of the World, Hong Yunfa.
Hong Gaitian rushed over. He heard that something had happened and rushed over.
After squeezing into the crowd and seeing the dead man on the ground, he quickly moved to Qi Bisang's side and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Who killed him? "
Qi Bisang was indifferent. She was in a daze and didn't seem to hear what he said.
It wasn't anyone who killed him, but Hong Yunfa killed himself. He suddenly appeared in the open space and laughed maniacally. After attracting the attention of the people around him, he suddenly pulled out his sword and sliced his neck. Blood spurted out and he fell just like that.
The people from the Misty Pavilion were naturally shocked and didn't know what had happened.
Qi Bisang had been investigating Hong Yunfa in secret and after finding out something, she reported it to the Saint. This matter should have been kept a secret and not many people in the Misty Pavilion knew about it. In the end, before they could investigate Hong Yunfa, he killed himself.
She had been paying attention to Hong Yunfa in secret and the moment something happened to him, she rushed over right away.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hong Gaitian asked the people from the Misty Pavilion. Only then did he know that Hong Yunfa killed himself. Why did he kill himself?
Hong Gaitian slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Bisang. After seeing her reaction, a weird expression appeared on his face.
The two of them were inspectors stationed in the Bank of the World and due to the situation, they were working together. He knew that Qi Bisang was investigating Hong Yunfa. Looking at Qi Bisang's reaction, he guessed that Hong Yunfa's death had something to do with the Goddess Sect.
Li Changsheng's expression was ugly as he stared at the corpse on the ground. He was Ding Wei's Right Emissary, who was in charge of the Misty Pavilion. This meant that he was Ding Wei's right-hand man. The Left Emissary stayed in the Dayuan Sacred Ground for a long time, while he stayed outside. In terms of status and importance, he was even higher than Huang Ban and Xuan Yao. When Ding Wei wasn't around, he was in charge of the Saint Land for Ding Wei. Now that such a thing had happened, how was he going to explain it?
"Right Envoy, this was found in Hong Yunfa's room." A member of the Misty Pavilion came over and handed over a letter.
The moment something happened to Hong Yunfa, Li Changsheng immediately ordered for the Misty Pavilion to be locked down and forbade anyone from entering or leaving. He also ordered for people to search for clues about Hong Yunfa's death. A person couldn't have killed himself for no reason.
