His son had come to deliver gifts, so Hao Yuntu had wanted to meet him. However, something had indeed happened, so he could only put his son aside for now.
A letter arrived. It was a letter received by the administrative desk and was urgently sent to the palace.
Hao Yuntu, who was sitting behind the desk, stared at the letter and pondered. The contents of the letter said that Shao Pingbo had single-handedly planned the civil strife in Wei. It said that Shao Pingbo was currently in the capital of Qi and was likely to target Qi after the war between Jin and Wei.
"Your Majesty!" Two military generals who had been summoned hurriedly came to greet him.
The two had been waiting in the imperial court when a eunuch suddenly called them to the side, saying that the Emperor was looking for them. Thus, they had appeared here.
Hao Yuntu grunted and passed the letter on the desk to Bu Xun. "Show it to them."
Bu Xun passed the letter to the two generals. The two of them looked at it together. After reading it, they looked at each other with serious expressions.
The bearded general cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, who sent the letter?"
Hao Yuntu replied, "I don't know who sent it. What do you think of the authenticity of the letter?"
The dark-skinned general said, "Your Majesty, if this Shao Pingbo really wants to cause trouble in the capital of Qi, it is no small matter at this juncture. The civil strife in Wei is a warning. In this subject's opinion, it is better to believe it is true than not! "
The bearded general nodded. "That's right! This subject thinks so too. "
Hao Yuntu stood up and said in a low voice, "Good! The two generals think the same as me. This is the purpose of calling you here. You two secretly mobilize all the troops in the capital and cooperate with the administrative desk! "
"As you command!" The two generals cupped their hands and accepted the order.
Hao Yuntu turned to look at Bu Xun. "This matter will be under your command. Mobilize all the forces of the administrative desk in the capital. As long as this Shao Pingbo is in the capital, capture him and try to interrogate him alive about Jin's plans!"
Bu Xun hesitated. "Shao Pingbo is Princess Ying's elder brother. If we capture him by force …"
Hao Yuntu interrupted him. "If we can't capture him alive, then kill him. If Princess Ying is involved, she will be dealt with as well. She will not be let off lightly. In short, we must not let what happened in Wei Kingdom happen in Qi Kingdom again! "
Bu Xun understood. When faced with such a matter, he did not need to care about Princess Ying's feelings. He also did not need to care about whether Shao Pingbo was a relative of the Qi Kingdom.
With the emperor's words, he felt more confident. He bowed and said, "Yes!"
…
"Eldest Young Master!" Shao Sansheng hurriedly ran up to the attic. He didn't look too good.
Shao Pingbo, who was standing in front of the window, turned around. "Have we been exposed?"
Shao Sansheng shook his head. "No."
Shao Pingbo stared at him. "Then why are you panicking?"
Shao Sansheng's face was full of fear. "Something went wrong in the palace."
Shao Pingbo was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Every detail of the plan has been sorted out repeatedly. I told you to keep a close eye on it. How could there still be a problem? Haoyun Sheng didn't cooperate? "
Shao Sansheng hastily said, "Eldest Young Master has misunderstood. There is no problem with the big plan. Everything is going smoothly. It's just that … it's just that …" He looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Hearing that there was no problem with the big plan, Shao Pingbo heaved a sigh of relief. His tone also softened. "It's just that what?"
A pained expression appeared on Shao Sansheng's face. "Something happened on Ying Wang Haozhen's side. He entered the imperial court and ate something poisonous!"
Ying Wang Haozhen was indeed the Shao family's son-in-law. He was also Shao Pingbo's brother-in-law. Now that the plan here had poisoned Shao Liu 'er's husband, how could they endure it?
"…" Shao Pingbo was stunned. The shrewdness on his face instantly disappeared. He was even a little confused. He slowly took a few steps back and slowly sat down on a chair. "How could this happen? Didn't we already arrange a plan to lure him away? "
Shao Sansheng replied, "The specific situation is still unclear at the moment. There was news from the ears in the palace that Vast Cloud Diagram was supposed to see the King of Ying and had already arrived at the entrance of the back palace. Who knew that Vast Cloud Diagram seemed to have encountered something important and did not see the King of Ying. As a result, the King of Ying returned to his room and … drank it …"
Bang! Shao Pingbo suddenly slapped the armrest of the chair and said angrily, "Why didn't the palace's eyes and ears stop him in time?"
Shao Sansheng said sorrowfully, "The palace's eyes and ears were only responsible for observing. They didn't know about the plan, let alone the poisoning. Eldest Young Master, this was also your idea. If there are too many insiders, it would be easy for the secret to be leaked. Other than Haoyun Sheng, no one else knew about it. Haoyun Sheng also didn't know that Young Master was behind him and couldn't stop him in time. By the time we received the news, it was already too late! "
"I mean …" Shao Pingbo muttered to himself. His eyes were blank. The usually shrewd Shao Pingbo seemed to be muddle-headed. He also remembered. That's right, everything was arranged by himself. From the beginning to the end, every detail was carefully arranged by him.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he spent a lot of effort on every detail. However, no matter how much he calculated, he didn't expect that Haoyun Sheng would encounter something important during the morning court session. As a result, he didn't see Ying Wang.
It must have been something important. Otherwise, someone like Haoyun Sheng, who was used to handling all kinds of matters, big and small, would have developed a certain level of calmness. Ordinary matters wouldn't be able to affect Haoyun Sheng's normal behavior.
"Could it be that they received the news about the changes in the frontline army? That shouldn't be the case. I have meticulously calculated the time for the various places to take action. At the very least, they would only receive the news at noon today … "Shao Pingbo muttered.
Shao Sansheng bowed slightly at the side and said anxiously, "Eldest Young Master, what should we do now? There's no antidote for the Jade Corpse Poison. We must think of a way quickly."
Shao Pingbo said with a tired face, "You said that there's no antidote. What can I do?"
Shao Sansheng said, "The Ghost Doctor's disciple. That Ghost Doctor's disciple is in Qi Capital. We must quickly remind Young Mistress and rush to treat her before the poison takes effect."
Shao Pingbo said dispiritedly, "Remind? How can we remind her? It's easy to remind her. If the Ying Wang finds the Ghost Doctor's disciple to treat her before the poison takes effect, have you thought about the consequences? It will cause Liu 'er's death. "
Shao Sansheng was extremely anxious. "What should we do? Are we going to watch the son-in-law die and the Young Mistress become a widow? "
"We can't remind her! They still have a chance to save themselves. The Jade Corpse Poison would cause an ordinary person to die on the spot. If a cultivator helped to suppress it, they could still hold on for a period of time. The Ying Wang is not an ordinary person. If the Ghost Doctor's disciple is always by his side, he will definitely notice his abnormality and help him hold on for a period of time. Since the Ghost Doctor's disciple is in Qi Capital, if they find it difficult to treat the Ying Wang, they will probably seek help from the Ghost Doctor's disciple. There should still be a chance. "Shao Pingbo mumbled," I hope that the Ghost Doctor's disciple can cure this poison! "
Shao Sansheng said, "What if the Ghost Doctor's disciple can't cure it?"
Shao Pingbo remained silent and did not say anything.
Shao Sansheng said again, "I heard that the Ghost Doctor's disciple has the demeanor of a Ghost Doctor. Just like his master, he has an eccentric temperament. Not everyone can ask for his help. I heard that Emperor Qi wanted to see him, but he did not even give face to the Emperor. What if he can't ask for his help?"
Shao Pingbo still did not say anything.
Shao Sansheng said, "If the Ying Wang dies, we won't be able to explain it to the Young Mistress! Young Master, please think of a way. "
Shao Pingbo said, "I don't have a way. It all depends on Liu 'er's luck. If something like this happens, it will save us a lot of trouble. At least Haozhen's suspicion will be cleared and Liu 'er will not be implicated. We won't have to waste our energy to get the couple away. Go. Pay attention to the changes outside and report to me at any time. "
After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and did not say anything else. His complexion did not look too good. His mental state was obviously in an extremely bad state, giving off a feeling of powerlessness and decadence.
It was just on the surface. No one could understand the sadness that suddenly rose in his heart.
In this world, if there was anyone that he cared about from the bottom of his heart, it was only his sister, Shao Liu 'er, whom his mother entrusted to him before she died. As for his father, they were already strangers. He cared more about their status.
He really did not want anything to happen to Shao Liu 'er. For his sister, he did not hesitate to mix his personal feelings into such a big matter. In such a big situation, he purposely helped the Ying Wang again. He bore the risk of exposing the matter. This was unimaginable to someone like him.
However, man proposes, God disposes. In the end, the Ying Wang Haozhen was in trouble.
If the Ying Wang Haozhen died, he really did not know how to face Shao Liu 'er.
In the end, with such a big matter, some of the truth would naturally be exposed.
Once Shao Liuer found out that he had poisoned her husband to death, his younger sister would never forgive him due to old and new enmity.
If his father, Shao Dengyun, knew that he was worse than a beast!
The only reason he could comfort himself was that he could protect Shao Liu 'er's safety.
Desolation, extreme desolation. "Cough, cough." Shao Pingbo clenched his fist and coughed a little hard. After coughing, he waved his hand and signaled Shao Sansheng to leave.
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng replied in a low voice. His face was gloomy as he slowly turned around and left.
However, not long after he left, Shao Sansheng hurriedly returned. "Young Master, the person from yesterday is here again." He added in a low voice, "The person from the Misty Pavilion!"
"Him?" Shao Pingbo suddenly opened his eyes. He propped himself up with the armrest and seemed to have recovered his spirit. He asked, "How many people?" At the same time, he quickly walked to the window and used his finger to pry open the window a little. He looked down and saw the person in the courtyard.
Shao Sansheng replied, "Just him."
Shao Pingbo frowned. He was a little confused. According to his understanding, it was unlikely that a person like that would come to see him.
He couldn't not see him either. The fact that the person could easily find him yesterday meant that his whereabouts were under the other party's control. He couldn't hide. He tilted his head and gestured, "Invite him in! You stand guard downstairs. "
"Yes!"
Not long after Shao Sansheng went down, the person from yesterday came up to the attic.
Shao Pingbo smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "Sir, I'm really surprised to see you here today. Do you have any instructions?"
The visitor said coldly, "You're in a very dangerous situation right now. Leave Qi Capital immediately! If you're too late, you won't be able to escape even if you want to! "
Shao Pingbo tried to ask, "Why?"
The visitor said, "I just received news that Vast Cloud Map learned that you came to Qi Capital early this morning and has already secretly ordered people to arrest you. Fortunately, I stayed a night in Qi Capital. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to send someone to inform you when I received the news. This is also why I personally came here. "
"Vast Cloud Map knows that I came to Qi Capital?" Shao Pingbo's pupils suddenly shrank. "Could it be that he knows my exact address?"
The visitor said, "I don't know. But in order to arrest you, Bu Xun has already awakened all of the School Affairs Station's forces in the capital. You mustn't underestimate this force. In Qi Capital, even the Misty Pavilion can't suppress the School Affairs Station in this aspect. With a target in mind, I believe it won't be long before they find your hiding place! "
