This was a battle where the flames of war could not be seen. It was a battle in the dark, and the participants could not see the light of day.
The victors did not dare to make a name for themselves. They could not say what they had done or how many enemies they had killed.
The dead could not build a monument like the soldiers on the battlefield. They could not even say why they had died.
The reason was the same. Otherwise, it would be easy to find the clues.
The living were nameless, and the dead were silent.
Looking at the names of the people who had died in the battle between the intelligence organizations of the two countries, Tao Lue, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Jin State, closed his eyes silently with tears in the corner of his eyes.
He cried, but he did not cry out. The losses were too great. The Black Water Platform was the work of many generations, and the dead had to call him "Old Ancestor". He knew that he had let them down.
"Ancestor, we can't continue fighting like this. That's the home ground of the Qi Kingdom. Our brothers have suffered too many losses. There's no meaning in continuing to fight. We should evacuate the people on the frontlines in time. This way, we can at least preserve some of our followers!" A man who came to report wept. It was too tragic!
"Sigh!" Tao Lue looked up to the sky and sighed. He opened his eyes and wiped his tears with his sleeves. He shook his head and said, "It is not up to you to say whether it is meaningful or not. You will understand soon enough."
"What is the meaning?" The man who came to report spread out his hands and asked for an answer.
Tao Lue shook his head and did not tell him the answer. He could not tell him either. This was a top secret. Apart from a few core members, no one else could know about it.
However, just as Tao Lue said, the man soon found out the answer. He knew the meaning of his brothers' sacrifice …
Not long after the Qi State chased after Shao Pingbo, the Wei State also started a similar search.
Shao Pingbo did not leave the Qi State. Even though he knew that the Qi State was after him, he still took the risk to stay. He had no choice. He had a bigger plan. If he did not personally command it, he would not be at ease leaving it to someone else.
He hid in a relay station not too far away from the capital of the Qi State. He wanted to get as close to the center of the Qi State as possible so that he could grasp any changes in the situation.
This place was prepared for him by the Black Water Platform of the Jin State.
The official in charge of this relay station was from the Qi State. He was a backup spy sent by the Black Water Platform to infiltrate the Qi State. This relay station was a backup plan of the Black Water Platform. Its purpose was to be used in case of a major incident.
For example, if the imperial court of Jin Nation needed it, this place could be used to cover the evacuation of important envoys.
Due to their duties, for the sake of confidentiality, they did not have any contact with other people lurking in the Qi Kingdom. They were directly under the command of the Black Water Station of the Jin Kingdom.
This relay station had never been used before. This time, it was activated for Shao Pingbo.
Shao Pingbo hid in the tunnel beneath the relay station, enduring the darkness and dampness of the tunnel like a mouse.
Under the light, Shao Pingbo looked at the information in his hand and muttered, "It really is him! As expected, you won't give up even if you kill me! "
The report was that Wei Country was searching for Shao Pingbo.
"Who?" Shao Sansheng was puzzled.
Shao Pingbo slowly exhaled, his aura solemn. "Niu Youdao! My guess was right. I knew that the Sage Realm wouldn't be able to stop him. As expected, he has already established a channel to communicate with the inside and outside of the Sage Realm. "
"Niu Youdao?" Shao Sansheng was puzzled. He didn't know what he was talking about.
However, he knew about Niu Youdao. He knew that Niu Youdao had become a thorn in Eldest Young Master's side. In the past, Niu Youdao had angered Eldest Young Master to the point of vomiting blood. Now that Eldest Young Master had rested for many years, he had finally recovered. However, why was he involved with Niu Youdao again?
He was slightly worried. Eldest Young Master had been in seclusion for many years. Was he going to fight with Niu Youdao the moment he came out of seclusion?
To be honest, it wasn't just Shao Pingbo. Even he, who had always been by Shao Pingbo's side, was slightly afraid of Niu Youdao. Whenever he heard the name "Niu Youdao", he would tremble. When Shao Pingbo suffered crushing defeats at the hands of Niu Youdao, he was forced to kill his brother and mother. He was also notorious because of Niu Youdao. He was even chased by Niu Youdao until he almost lost his life. Shao Sansheng had been by Shao Pingbo's side and had experienced it himself.
Shao Sansheng knew that Shao Pingbo had been forced into a corner by Niu Youdao during the most dangerous times.
He had always admired Shao Pingbo's abilities. However, such a capable Eldest Young Master was suppressed by Niu Youdao time and time again!
Just like Shao Pingbo, he knew how terrifying Niu Youdao was!
Shao Sansheng didn't have the confidence to fight with such an opponent again. When he heard that name, he was already a little afraid. He tried to ask, "Isn't he trapped in the Sage Realm?"
Shao Pingbo's heart was heavy. He wasn't in the mood to explain. He looked at the information in his hands again.
In other people's eyes, it was just a piece of information about him being hunted down by Wei Country. However, in his eyes, the information behind the information had a deeper meaning.
Just like what he had said in his conversation with the mysterious person from the Misty Pavilion, he suspected that Niu Youdao was the culprit. However, there were too many other factors. There were all kinds of possibilities. Therefore, he couldn't be sure that it was Niu Youdao.
However, this information proved a problem. The person who wanted to kill him couldn't be sure if he was in Wei Capital or Qi Capital. In other words, it wasn't the Jin Nation that leaked the information. It also eliminated the possibility of other forces spying on his whereabouts.
In other words, it confirmed his speculation about the mysterious person!
After thinking for a while, Shao Pingbo raised his head and said, "Send a message to the person who was sent to contact us. Tell him that I have confirmed that it is Niu Youdao. Ask him to send me the details of Niu Youdao's situation in the Sage Realm as soon as possible!"
Did he really fight with Niu Youdao again? Shao Sansheng was a little alarmed. He tried to remind him, "Young Master, did you mean that Niu Youdao contacted the outside world behind the Sage Realm's back? If that's the case, why didn't Young Master report the situation to the Sage Realm and make Niu Youdao suffer? "
Shao Pingbo coldly said, "Childish!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng said awkwardly, "I will send the message now." Then, he turned around.
"Wait." Shao Pingbo stopped him and asked, "How is Haozhen?"
Shao Sansheng said, "After leaving the Ghost Doctor's disciple, I didn't see any abnormal movements from the Ying King's Residence. It seems that she is out of danger."
Shao Pingbo nodded slightly, "It seems that the Ghost Doctor's disciple lives up to his name."
He was indeed relieved. If Shao Liuer became a widow, he really didn't know how to face his sister. The person who poisoned Haozhen would be exposed sooner or later. As long as Haozhen was fine, he didn't care how much Shao Liuer hated him in the future.
As long as Shao Liuer could live well, then so be it. Keeping an appropriate distance between the siblings was also a form of protection for Shao Liuer.
However, Shao Sansheng reminded him, "The Black Water Platform's letter seems to be dissatisfied with Young Master's actions."
The Black Water Platform found out that they had missed the Ghost Doctor's disciple in such an important plan. They didn't manage to get rid of the Ghost Doctor's disciple. As a result, the Ghost Doctor's disciple saved the poisoned people. This caused the poison that they had painstakingly succeeded to be ineffective. The Black Water Platform was very dissatisfied with this result.
The Black Water Platform hoped that many members of the royal family in the Qi Kingdom's imperial court would die. They hoped that it would cause more internal strife in the Qi Kingdom.
Especially after they found out that Shao Liuer was the first person to beg the Ghost Doctor's disciple to save her, the Black Water Platform became even more suspicious of Shao Pingbo's actions. They suspected that Shao Pingbo had mixed his personal feelings in such an important plan.
However, it was also true that he had mixed his personal feelings. He had used the Black Water Platform's power in the Qi Kingdom to set up a trap for Haozhen. It was just an accident. How could such a thing be hidden from the Jin Kingdom?
Shao Pingbo was silent. Slowly, he said, "Didn't I already give them an explanation?"
Shao Sansheng said, "I'm afraid that they won't believe this explanation. This time, because of Young Master's plan, too many of the Black Water Platform's spies in the Qi Kingdom died."
Shao Pingbo said, "As long as the plan succeeds, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Send a message to the Black Water Platform. We must delay the Qin Kingdom. Tian and Ma should put more pressure on them. It's almost time to spread the rumor that Luo Zhao wants to replace them! "
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng accepted the order and left.
… …
When the last member of the royal family was carried out of the courtyard, the courtyard was finally quiet. Wu Xin, who was unbearably tired, finally laid down on a recliner to rest.
He continued to save the poisoned members of the royal family. Wu Xin didn't sleep for three days and three nights.
Originally, the remaining members of the royal family wouldn't have lasted this long. It was Wu Xin who first used medicine to temporarily suppress the poison. Then, with the help of a group of cultivators, he had time to save them one by one.
Originally, he only wanted to save Haozhen. He didn't care about the lives of the others.
However, because of Yan Baoru's words, Wu Xin used all his strength to save the poisoned members of the royal family.
After Yan Baoru detoxified Haozhen's poison, Yan Baoru looked at the noblewomen kneeling outside and said, "This time, Haozhen escaped a calamity. If the others can't escape this calamity, I'm afraid these women will hate Shao Liuer to death. Shao Liuer will become a target for everyone!"
Yan Baoru's words weren't unreasonable. Women definitely understood women's thoughts better than men.
Because of this sentence, Wu Xin showed great mercy and saved the lives of the poisoned members of the royal family.
However, Wu Xin, who was lying on the recliner, was utterly exhausted.
"Sir, you've done immeasurable good deeds this time. I'm afraid the entire royal family of Qi has to thank you. Sir, you can rest in peace." Guo Man smiled as she covered him with a blanket.
"Immeasurable good deeds? I didn't listen to Master's advice. I'm afraid this is the beginning of trouble. "Wu Xin sighed tiredly.
Guo Man was flabbergasted. "Trouble? Why do you say that? "
Wu Xin shook his head slightly. He didn't want to say it, and he couldn't.
When he wanted to leave the mountain, his Master, the Ghost Doctor, disagreed. She said that people's hearts were sinister. The more skilled one was in medicine, the more dangerous it would be for oneself.
Even if it was his master himself, the so-called eccentricity that was hated by many people, or the mysterious dragon's head and tail were also forced to do so. He understood his master's difficulties.
In his Master's words, when faced with external demands, don't get involved with any power. Be harmless to any power and keep your distance. This was the best way to protect yourself!
Although the Ghost Doctor's influence was great, to some people, it was nothing!
