Actually, Shao Pingbo didn't need him to say it. But that wasn't what Shao Pingbo was concerned about. "My coming to Qi Capital is a major secret of Jin! May I ask, how did the Vast Cloud Map know I'm here? "
"Now isn't the time to worry about that. Let's escape first."
Shao Pingbo said in a low voice, "Sir, you're wrong. If I don't know how the Vast Cloud Map knows, I'll be chased no matter where I go if there's a spy here. Please help me! "He cupped his hands in a pleading manner.
The visitor was silent. He had overlooked something. What the other party said made sense. After pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you with that. As far as I know, even the Vast Cloud Map doesn't know where the letter came from. But the problem is that someone who knows you're here must have leaked it. Who else knows you're in Qi? I'm afraid only Jin knows. "
Shao Pingbo said, "You mean there's a spy in Jin?"
The visitor said, "Is it impossible? There aren't many people in Jin who know you're here, but it's not a small number either. It's entirely possible that there's a leak. "
Shao Pingbo said, "I think the possibility of a leak from Jin can be ruled out. Sir, don't overlook this. If someone in Jin knew my whereabouts and wanted to harm me, they wouldn't have waited until today. They could've done it in Wei. Besides, I've been in Qi for a while now. Why did they only leak it this morning? "
Now, he roughly knew why Ying Wang Haozhen had an accident. It was because the Vast Cloud Map had received a huge leak.
This matter implicated Shao Liuer. Who was the informant? He gritted his teeth in hatred. If he didn't find out who it was, he would make the informant regret living in this world!
While he was hateful, he couldn't help but rejoice that it wasn't the Vast Cloud Map that had received an urgent military report and received news of the army being disturbed.
The visitor couldn't help but look at Shao Pingbo again. He found that Shao Pingbo's mind was unusually clear and calm.
He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He muttered, "Now that you mention it, it does make sense." He paused, "Could it be that the Misty Pavilion is behind this?"
Shao Pingbo was shocked, "Sir, what do you mean?"
The visitor replied, "My news came from the people of the Misty Pavilion. Naturally, the Misty Pavilion knows about your situation."
Shao Pingbo: "Sir, do you mean that the Misty Pavilion might start to intervene in this matter?"
This made him very uneasy. Given the background of the Misty Pavilion and its immense power, if the Misty Pavilion decided to secretly intervene in the war, it would basically represent the attitude of the Nine Saints, and the Jin Nation would basically have no chance of success.
The visitor replied, "It's not impossible. Of course, the possibility isn't high. What I'm talking about is whether there's someone like me in the Misty Pavilion who's secretly involved. "
Shao Pingbo hesitated. "Is there such a possibility?"
The visitor said, "You have to understand that the Misty Pavilion is the collective name of the Nine Saints Executive Force. There are many forces inside, and it's not strange for people to secretly interfere for their own interests."
Shao Pingbo said, "According to what you said, if the Misty Pavilion is doing this for their own benefit … If that's the case, then I don't understand. I can understand why they want to get involved in the war, but why do they want to deal with me? I don't think I've offended anyone in the Misty Pavilion. "
The visitor frowned. That's right, if it was because the war had affected the interests of someone in the Misty Pavilion, then they would have attacked the war itself. But this time, it was obvious that they were targeting Shao Pingbo.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nod slightly. "What you said makes some sense. That's strange. If it's not done by a spy in the Jin Nation, and it's not someone from the Misty Pavilion, then who could it be? "
Shao Pingbo: "I think there are two possibilities."
The visitor responded with an 'oh', as if he was willing to listen to his opinion.
Shao Pingbo: "There's one possibility. A spy from another force had just found out about my whereabouts not long ago. This would explain why the news has only reached the Vast Cloud Map now."
The visitor nodded slightly and asked, "What about the other possibility?"
Shao Pingbo was silent and slightly narrowed his eyes. "I hope it's not that possibility."
Seeing him being vague, the visitor couldn't help but be curious. "What do you suspect?"
Shao Pingbo: "I suspect one person, Niu Youdao!"
"Niu Youdao?" The visitor was stunned and confused. "Why are you talking about him again? How can you prove that it's him? "
Shao Pingbo suddenly said decisively, "Because it's targeting me personally! Because I know him very well. Conversely, he also knows me to a certain extent. As soon as I made a move in the Battle of Jin and Wei, it's not strange at all for him to detect my presence and intervene. It's not impossible for him to deduce that I'm in the Kingdom of Qi! "
"If that's the case, then it would explain why even the Vast Cloud Map doesn't know who sent the letter. Logically speaking, if a spy from another force provided help to the Kingdom of Qi, it's not normal for the Vast Cloud Map to not know who it was. This is a good thing to do a favor. "
"And calculating the time, it's entirely possible. This also explains why he didn't make a move against me in the Kingdom of Wei. Because the Kingdom of Wei's internal strife broke out suddenly, the news spread from the Kingdom of Wei to the Saint Realm and then to his ears. Moreover, it takes time to grasp and analyze the situation. Only now did the news reach the Vast Cloud Map, so there's a certain degree of coincidence. "
The visitor looked at him with a strange expression as if he was listening to a heavenly book. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What are you thinking? Is there such a far-fetched explanation? Niu Youdao is currently trapped in the Saint Realm and has no way of contacting the outside world. "
Shao Pingbo's voice grew louder. "This explains why the Vast Cloud Map didn't know who was expressing goodwill. It's precisely because Niu Youdao is in the Saint Realm that people can't know that he can communicate with the outside world. Sir, can you guarantee that he can't contact the outside world while he's in the Saint Realm? "
The visitor couldn't guarantee this. He pondered and said, "According to what you said, someone in the Saint Realm is helping him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to send the news to the outside world. Based on my understanding of the Saint Realm, who would be so free to help him do such a thing? Risking being exposed just to deal with you? "
Shao Pingbo said, "This is only my guess. There are other possibilities. I hope I'm wrong. Otherwise, this is the situation I don't want to see the most. If there's really someone in the Saint Realm helping him, it means that he has a certain degree of control over the situation in the Saint Realm. It'll be even more difficult to deal with him!"
As he said this, he cupped his hands at the visitor and said, "It's hard to say whether he did it or not. If he did it, he'll show his fox tail sooner or later. Sir, you must get hold of the details of Niu Youdao's situation in the Saint Realm and inform me as soon as possible! "
The visitor was silent. He had to admit that there was some truth in the other's words. Was it really Niu Youdao? If it was, then there must be someone in the Saint Realm who helped him. Who was it? He also wanted to know who it was.
Thinking of this, the visitor nodded slightly. "I understand."
He then came back to his senses and reminded, "Don't waste any more time. Evacuate as soon as possible. Try to evacuate from the North City Gate. I've arranged people there. If anything happens, it'll be convenient for us to escape."
Shao Pingbo said respectfully, "I'll follow your instructions."
The visitor did not say anything more. He quickly turned around and left.
After the visitor left, Shao Sansheng quickly came up again. "Young Master, what is he doing here again?"
"Tipping off someone …" Shao Pingbo roughly explained the situation.
Shao Sansheng was quite surprised after hearing this. He was very glad and said, "Fortunately, he's still here. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable."
"Still here?" Shao Pingbo sneered. "What do you mean by coincidence? It'd be strange if it was by coincidence. Do you think he purposely came here just to meet me and then leave? I've said it. He wants to know where my backup is. Since he's here, he must have made arrangements. He doesn't dare to let me die yet. He'll naturally inform me when he finds out about the situation here. "
So that's how it is. Shao Sansheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright." Shao Pingbo waved his hand and said, "Since Hao Yun Tu has already mobilized the power of the School Affairs Platform to capture me, we can't stay here any longer. Tell them to quickly prepare and evacuate immediately!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng accepted the order and left.
…
At the South City Gate, a small group of people followed the King of the West Courtyard, Hao Yun Sheng, and galloped out.
The Prince had an imposing manner. It looked like he was going out to hunt. In addition, the Emperor's younger brother had a bad temper, so the guards at the city gate did not dare to provoke him.
The court meeting was delayed and ended late. After the meeting, Hao Yun Sheng immediately brought his men out to hunt.
Hunting was an excuse. He was in a rush to escape. He knew what he had done. He would be courting death if he stayed, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
After leaving the city, Hao Yun Sheng, who was galloping on his horse, turned back to look at the majestic Capital of Qi. He did not know when he would be able to return.
The main family members of the family had left a few days ago under the pretext of going out to play. He had nothing to worry about on this trip.
"Go!" Hao Yun Sheng, who was turning back, whipped his horse. He sped up and rushed to the designated meeting point.
…
After the court meeting, he arrived at the office where he handled his official duties. Jade King Hao Hong, who was writing something, felt a little uncomfortable. He put down the pen and rubbed his chest from time to time. When he felt that his breathing was smooth, he picked up the pen again and repeated the process.
Eventually, he started coughing. The coughing was not normal. The eunuch at the side saw it and immediately went to get the mage outside.
When the mage arrived, he saw Hao Hong, who was coughing non-stop, was coughing so much that his face was pale.
"Prince, where are you feeling unwell?" The mage opened his mouth and his eyes widened.
"Pfft!" Hao Hong, who was coughing, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood stained the white paper on the table. He was shocked.
The mage immediately grabbed his arm and checked his condition. He was shocked when he did so. It was a sign of poisoning. He immediately shouted, "Guards!"
…
On the streets of the Capital, Ying King Hao Zhen, who was swaying slowly in the horse carriage, did not go to work. Instead, he took a leave to return to his residence. The gift he gave to the Emperor had attracted a lot of gossip. He guessed that some people would go to the place where he was on duty to mock and ridicule him.
Hearing the coughing coming from the horse carriage, Che Buchi, one of the three Great Mages of the Prince's Residence, opened the side curtain of the window and asked, "Is the Prince unwell?"
