The door to the courtyard was opened. Shao Sansheng waited for a long time, but no one came. He could only see people coming and going on the street outside.
Although the house was not on the main street of Qi Capital, it was not too remote. There were many people coming and going on the street outside.
Shao Sansheng waited in the courtyard. He would raise his head and look at every person who passed by the door.
On the attic, Shao Pingbo was resting with his eyes closed. The rolling eyeballs under his eyelids showed what he was thinking.
About an hour later, there was a man standing at the door. He was a man who looked like a peddler with a cloth bag on his back. He stared at the courtyard for a while, then walked in slowly while shaking the rattle drum in his hand.
Someone had barged in, and the guards in the surroundings were ready to make a move. Shao Sansheng raised his hand to stop them from making any noise. He went up to the peddler and smiled politely. "What's the matter, sir?"
The peddler looked around, then looked at Shao Sansheng from head to toe. He spat out a word. "Yes!"
After confirming that it was the person he wanted to meet, Shao Sansheng immediately extended his hand. "Please follow me, sir."
He was respectful along the way, and occasionally extended his hand to lead the way. He led the man to Shao Pingbo's attic and reported, "Young Master, he's here."
Shao Pingbo was already looking at the man, but the man did not seem to care about him. He took off his waistcoat and put it on the table. He then sat down on the main seat in the room.
Shao Pingbo, who was observing the man, said, "Old Shao, serve tea."
The man replied, "No need. Those who are not involved can leave."
The man's tone was reserved and dignified. Shao Sansheng was surprised and didn't know who he was. However, Shao Pingbo waved at him. "Keep watch downstairs. Don't let anyone come near."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng took the order and went out. He closed the door and went downstairs to keep watch, looking up from time to time.
Shao Pingbo, who was in the attic, walked to the window and looked out with his hands behind his back. He waited for a while, but there was no response. He walked back to the table and sat opposite the man. He took the initiative to ask, "May I know your name?"
The man replied, "My name is not for you to ask."
Shao Pingbo: "If I can't even figure out your identity, how can I believe the authenticity of your background?"
Visitor: "Let's not talk about the matter of Weiguo. You didn't dare to make too big of a move in the Qi Nation. You didn't dare to make any excessive moves against the important people in the Qi Nation for fear that you would be alerted by the Qi Nation's administrative office. All along, you have been planning and gathering the power of the Great Jin Nation to carry out a small matter. If there is a need, you can swap someone's golden wings at any time. The person who is in charge of watching over Golden-Winged is already under your control. "
"You've already mobilized these people. There's already a problem with the communication between the Qi Kingdom's expedition army and the imperial court. This method won't last long. There are too many loopholes, and it won't take long for them to see through it. However, this is the time you need. As far as I know, three armies have already changed their direction and are rushing towards the capital of Qi Kingdom. Do I need to say anything else? "
Shao Pingbo's eyes flashed, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the Misty Pavilion."
The visitor replied, "Since you know who I am, why are you bargaining with me? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "Under normal circumstances, there's no one who isn't afraid of death. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to see me with your real face."
The visitor replied, "Are you threatening me?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "I'm not threatening you. I want to cooperate with you, or rather, I'm willing to serve you."
The visitor replied, "I don't need you to serve me. I'm just here to tell you that you should do your own thing and play your own games. That way, you can live longer. Knowing too much won't do you any good. When it's time to feign ignorance, you should feign ignorance. Do you understand?"
Shao Pingbo asked, "What if I don't agree?"
Swoosh! The visitor's figure flashed and appeared beside Shao Pingbo. He grabbed Shao Pingbo's neck and said, "Say that again. I didn't hear you clearly."
Shao Pingbo's face instantly turned red from being strangled. He struggled to speak, "Even if I die, you won't be able to escape. I'll leave first. I'll be waiting for you on the underworld."
The visitor's eyes were filled with anger. His five fingers suddenly exerted force. Shao Pingbo's eyes widened and his eyeballs almost popped out. He tried his best to smile at the visitor. However, his twisted face made the smile look strange and ferocious.
Just when his neck was being strangled and he was about to stop breathing, the visitor suddenly let go and pushed him.
Bang! Shao Pingbo staggered backward and fell to the ground. He gasped for breath and then immediately covered his neck and coughed non-stop. Saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
When he finally managed to catch his breath, he heard the sound of footsteps coming upstairs. Shao Sansheng's voice soon came from outside. "Young Master, Young Master …"
"I'm fine. Leave!" Shao Pingbo shouted with great effort.
When the footsteps came down the stairs again, Shao Pingbo held onto a chair at the side and climbed up with great effort. He sat on it and looked as if he was paralyzed on the chair. He smiled and said, "My life is worthless. It's not worth it for you to use my life to implicate Mister's life! You're a smart man. You know what to choose. "
The visitor slowly walked up to him and looked down at him coldly. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out a hand and patted Shao Pingbo's cheek. "Not bad, not bad. You're quite brave. You're qualified to cooperate with me."
The visitor's face changed quickly. Shao Pingbo laughed and said, "You flatter me, Sir!"
The visitor turned around and walked back to his original seat.
Shao Pingbo gasped for breath and tried his best to recover. He then left the chair and walked back to sit opposite the visitor. He looked at the waistcoat bag that the visitor had thrown on the table. "I've been waiting for you. I thought you'd show up soon. I didn't expect you to show up after so long. Judging from your attire, you seem to be very cautious. It seems that the pressure from the Saint Realm is not small. "
The visitor said, "It's a bit troublesome. I wanted to meet you earlier, but Hong Yunfa's death … The Nine Saints have targeted everyone who is related to Hong Yunfa."
Shao Pingbo nodded to show that he understood. Being targeted, the visitor would not dare to move around unless he found a suitable opportunity.
The visitor said, "You want to cooperate with me? Why do you want to cooperate with me? What do you have that is worth my cooperation? Tell me."
Shao Pingbo said, "Didn't we start our cooperation a long time ago? You wanted me to promote the war against the Nine Saints and I've done it. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. "
The visitor said, "You want to know about Niu Youdao's situation in the Saint Realm?"
Shao Pingbo nodded. "Yes."
The visitor seemed to be puzzled. "Niu Youdao is trapped in the Saint Realm. There's no way for him to come out. Perhaps, he will never come out. You're in two different realms and have nothing to do with each other. Why are you still thinking about him?"
"Never come out?" Shao Pingbo asked and then shook his head. "You've underestimated him. I know his capabilities too well. If he wants to come out, it's not impossible. The Saint Realm might not be able to do anything to him. Once he comes out, he won't let me go! "
The visitor said sarcastically, "It seems that you're very afraid of him."
Shao Pingbo said, "To me, there's no such thing as fear or not. You should know who I'm going against by cooperating with you. Do you think I'm afraid? Niu Youdao is a problem to me. He's a nuisance. I have to get rid of him. "
The visitor was silent for a while. Slowly, he said, "I know a little about his situation in the Saint Realm. However, the situation in the Saint Realm is more complicated. I can't keep an eye on him every day, so I don't know much about his situation. If you want to get rid of him, that's easy. I'll find a chance to help you get rid of him in the Saint Realm. "
Shao Pingbo said, "Although I don't know your identity, I'm sure you're not one of the Nine Saints. Am I right?"
The visitor didn't understand his meaning and snorted. "If I'm one of the Nine Saints, do you think I'll be sitting here and meeting you?"
Shao Pingbo said, "You're not one of the Nine Saints. You can't make such a big decision. So, forgive me for being blunt. As long as you don't dare to attack him openly, you might not be able to get rid of him."
The visitor said, "Are you trying to goad me into doing something?"
Shao Pingbo said, "I'm not trying to goad you into doing something. If you can help me get rid of him, I'd be more than happy to do so. However, I still have to remind you. Don't make a move unless you're absolutely sure. Once you make a move, kill him. Don't give him a chance to retaliate."
"Once he's alerted, once he notices something, his retaliation and revenge won't be easy!"
"Niu Youdao is an expert in this field! I can guarantee that once you fight him, it'll be hard to tell who'll be the one to kill who! "
The visitor snorted, expressing his disdain. Based on his status, he really wouldn't take Niu Youdao seriously. He said indifferently, "Summer insects can't talk about ice. You don't know the situation in the Saint Realm. I don't blame you."
Shao Pingbo frowned. "I don't know the situation in the Saint Realm. However, there's one thing that's common. Whether it's in the Saint Realm or outside the Saint Realm, people are always interconnected. I advise you not to act rashly. Don't alert the enemy. For so many years, there have been too many people who want to kill him. At least, there are more people who want to kill him than there are people who want to kill me. However, he's still alive and well. This speaks volumes. "
"People like him are very vigilant, especially in an environment like the Sage Realm. His vigilance must be completely open, and he will be alerted if anything goes wrong. Before you're properly prepared, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, you'll be playing with your life. "
"Sir, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm not joking with you either! Sir, you must be very careful! "
It wasn't clear if the visitor heard him or not. He asked, "What do you want to know about him?"
Shao Pingbo said, "He's not someone who would sit and wait for death. I believe that he's already made preparations to survive in the Saint Realm. I want to know all his movements. The more detailed, the better."
The visitor said, "I've already said that the situation in the Saint Realm is complicated. I can't keep an eye on him all the time."
Shao Pingbo said, "With your ability, can't you place a spy around him?"
