The messenger did not comment. It was not appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he quickly left in silence.
Shao Sansheng still had a lingering fear. He approached Shao Pingbo with difficulty, "Young Master, you …"
Shao Pingbo knew what he was worried about and said expressionlessly, "Old Shao, I had no choice. If I didn't retaliate, these people would use all means to kill me! We don't know where they have infiltrated. It's impossible to guard against them. "
Shao Sansheng said, "Young Master, since you have a way to resolve it, why did you say something so outrageous? What if you angered them …" He sighed and shook his head.
Shao Pingbo said, "They came to me directly and asked me to instigate a war. They are determined to kill me. They don't take me seriously at all. Their words weren't harsh enough to warn me. The other party should be an outsider of the Misty Pavilion, and I spoke rudely and didn't put the Misty Pavilion in my eyes, that's why they saw me in a different light. I'm not afraid of the Misty Pavilion, that's why they are interested in cooperating with me. "
Shao Sansheng, who was full of worries just now, suddenly understood.
Pointing out the way to find out who was behind Hong Yunfa was not only to threaten them, but also to prove Young Master's ability, or rather, his value. Speaking rudely to the Misty Pavilion was actually to attract their attention. He was recommending himself to them so that they would be willing to cooperate with them.
Shao Sansheng was full of admiration when he understood. "Eldest Young Master is wise! But … the dissidents in the Misty Pavilion are no different from fighting against the Nine Saints. Can they fight against the Nine Saints? Are they really suitable to cooperate with? I'm afraid that I will end up in trouble! "
Shao Pingbo said, "Do I have a choice?"
Shao Sansheng cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, since you have a way to find out who is behind Hong Yunfa, why don't you contact the Saint State directly and offer advice to them?"
Shao Pingbo said, "And then? What happens after that? "
Shao Sansheng was at a loss for words. He said nervously, "With Young Master's ability, you might be valued by the Saint State."
Shao Pingbo said, "Old Shao, you are thinking too much. I am nothing in the eyes of the Nine Saints. The Nine Saints are reorganizing the Misty Pavilion. It is just reorganizing. After that, the Misty Pavilion will still be the Misty Pavilion. Even if it is as you wish, what about now? Do you think those people can help me contact the Saint Realm? We don't even know how powerful these people are in the Misty Pavilion, and we don't even know which side they are from. Who can we contact to ensure that we won't fall into their hands? "
"In order to keep the secret of the Battle of Yongwei a secret, we have always been under strict control by the Imperial Court. We only know that the messenger is from the Misty Pavilion. Who can guarantee that there is no one else? What if Tao Lve is also one of them? This was not impossible. Why did they have to send someone from the Misty Pavilion to deliver my letter? "
"If I dare to act rashly at this time, the other party will definitely kill me at all costs. It is even possible that they will directly kill His Majesty."
"Old Shao, I've already been targeted by those people. Currently, there's no other way but to scare them and make them hesitate in taking action. We're already in a situation where our lives are hanging by a thread. At this time, the calmer we are, the more the enemy doesn't dare to act blindly without thinking. The calmer we are, the less the other party dares to gamble. Moreover, the other party needs this war now. If I die now, the situation at Weiguo's side might become chaotic, and the other party's previous efforts will go to waste! "
Shao Sansheng said worriedly, "If we really cooperate with them, what will we do in the future?"
Shao Pingbo said, "If we lose our lives, what's the point of talking about the future? First, we need to preserve our lives and gain a foothold. We can talk about the future in the future. When the war is over, when I have space to move around, then we can make further plans. "
…
Qi Capital. In the courtyard, Yan Baoru seemed to have changed into a different person. Like a housewife, she was washing a pile of clothes by the well.
The dignified number two on the Pill List was actually doing such chores. If other people in the cultivation world saw this, their jaws would probably drop.
But Yan Baoru, who was familiar with washing, had a peaceful expression. Hiding here, she could be protected by the Ghost Doctor's disciple, far away from those grudges and grievances.
She also knew that this was a rare opportunity. Most people couldn't even enter the door of the Ghost Doctor's disciple, let alone become his follower.
She had experienced too many life and death situations. If she could, she would rather live like this for the rest of her life.
After washing the clothes, she carried a bucket of clothes to the drying area in the backyard. She took out the clothes one by one and hung them on a rope to dry.
After the washed clothes were dried, she collected the previously dried clothes and carried them to the master and servant's room. She folded the clothes one by one and put them in a pile.
After she was done, she went to the special medical hall in the courtyard.
She opened the curtain and entered. She found that the Ghost Doctor's disciple, Wu Xin, was bleeding profusely with a knife. Guo Man, who was at the side, nodded slightly at her.
Seeing that he was busy, Yan Baoru walked to the side and didn't say anything. She quietly watched. She saw that Wu Xin was using a knife to cut open the skin on the chest of a man who was quietly lying down. He made a long bloody wound on the skin. It didn't look like he was treating a disease, but more like he was carving a wound.
The man's face was wrapped in a white cloth. Only his eyes, nose, and mouth were gouged out.
After a while, Wu Xin put away the knife in his hand and began to sprinkle medicinal powder on the bloody wound on the patient's chest. Afterwards, he wrapped the wound with a white cloth.
After finishing, Wu Xin checked the patient's symptoms. After confirming that there were no problems, he lifted his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then, he turned around and left.
Guo Man and Yan Baoru naturally took care of the remaining matters.
The two of them tidied up some bottles, cans, and bloodstains. Then, they carried the things to wash.
Wu Xin's treatment was different from the washing of ordinary people's items. They all needed to be soaked in a special medicinal powder.
While the two women were soaking and washing, Yan Baoru couldn't help but ask: "Using a knife to trim a person's face, can it really make a person look exactly like another person?"
Guo Man: "I don't know. It's my first time seeing it. I've only heard Sir mention it before and he said it's possible."
Yan Baoru: "Even if it can become Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao is in the Saint Realm. Now that a fake Niu Youdao has appeared, no matter how similar it is, I'm afraid he'll be able to see through it at a glance."
Guo Man: "Who cares. He was the one who asked for it. If something happens, it's none of our business."
Yan Baoru: "I'm just a little curious. Why did Sir agree to do this?"
Guo Man: "I don't know. When we met, that person was being chased by Niu Youdao's people. He said that his entire family died in the hands of Niu Youdao's people. Perhaps Sir was moved by a moment of compassion and saved him."
Yan Baoru: "Did you confirm his identity? There shouldn't be any problems, right? "
Guo Man: "What problems could there be? Once he leaves this door, if he wants to retaliate against Niu Youdao, that's his business. It has nothing to do with us. The problem is that Sir wants to do this. Even if you dissuade him, will it work? "
Yan Baoru gently shook her head. She did dissuade him, but it didn't work. She sighed softly: "I just don't want Sir to get involved in those disputes. I've fought with Niu Youdao before. He's a scary person. Who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause if we provoke him. Fortunately, Niu Youdao is in the Saint Realm and can't come out. I hope nothing happens to him. "
Guo Man stopped washing and her eyes flickered. She tentatively asked: "Sister Baoru, you seem to be very afraid of Niu Youdao?"
A scene suddenly flashed in Yan Baoru's mind. It was the scene of someone grabbing her hair and pushing her into an ant's nest. She would never forget that feeling for the rest of her life. She pursed her lips and said, "I just don't think you need to provoke him."
Guo Man asked curiously: "Sister Baoru, don't you want to get revenge on Niu Youdao?"
Yan Baoru smiled bitterly: "He's powerful and has a wide network. Now he's an elder of the Purple Golden Cave. There are many masters around him. It's difficult for me to even get close to him. He can force me to be like a stray dog with just a word. How can I get revenge? What can I use to do it? If Sir didn't take me in, if he didn't fear the Ghost Doctor's influence, he definitely wouldn't let me go. As long as he forgets me, I'll let go of the past. Let bygones be bygones. I can't afford to provoke him. "
"It's not a bad thing for Sister Baoru to think like this. It's better to avoid trouble." Guo Man nodded in agreement. However, she also said: "Speaking of this Niu Youdao, I remember that when I heard of him, he was just a small character trapped in a place. I didn't expect that he would manage such a huge force in just a few years. This person is really powerful!" There was a strange light flashing in her eyes.
…
In the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, a Grey-Winged Eagle flew into a mountain forest. Niu Youdao landed on the ground and looked around.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, and a black fox came out. As it walked over, it turned into a human form. It was the Fox Clan's Patriarch, Heiyun.
They were old acquaintances, so there was no need to be polite. Heiyun walked over and asked: "You want to meet me again? What's the matter?"
Niu Youdao: "I want to see Ao Feng. It's about time we meet and talk."
Heiyun was stunned: "If you want to see him, go see him. Why are you looking for me? Don't tell me you want me to accompany you to see Ao Feng? "
Niu Youdao: "No, he's hiding in the Immeasurable Garden. He is hiding in the Immeasurable Garden, and now is not the time for me to enter the Immeasurable Garden. Even if I enter now, meeting him in the Immeasurable Garden will easily arouse suspicion. The Immeasurable Garden is not a place to meet and talk, so I want to ask the fox clan to help me invite him out. "
Heiyun: "I say, Niu Youdao, are you joking? You also know that he's in the Immeasurable Garden. I can't contact him at all, and I can't even see him. Without any way to contact him, how can I help you invite him out? Do you want me to stand outside the Immeasurable Garden and shout? "
Niu Youdao: "People are alive. There will always be a way if you think about it."
Heiyun: "A way? What way? I really can't do anything about this. "
Niu Youdao: "If there's no way to invite him out directly, then I'll invite him out indirectly."
Heiyun: "Then tell me how to do it indirectly."
