The shopkeeper retorted, "Are you crazy? I already said that he can't be any more dead, why are you still nagging? "
Shao Pingbo cupped his hands, "Mister, it is not that this one is being unreasonable, but that Niu Youdao is definitely not a mediocre person. I have yet to see anyone who can stop him in his path, so you must not underestimate him. Those who underestimate him have all fallen at his feet, it is too late for regrets!"
"Mister, this person is a monster of a generation, rampaging through chaotic times, he cannot be killed so easily!"
"Mister, once he escapes, once he gets rid of all his shackles, once we give him the chance to stir up trouble, what awaits us will be a tempestuous storm. At that time, I'm afraid it'll be too late for regrets."
"Mister, it is not that this one is trying to scare you, but this is not a small matter, we must be careful!"
The shopkeeper clasped his hands behind his back, "From your words, even if he is dead, you won't let him off even if he becomes a ghost?"
Not only was Shao Pingbo unwilling to relent, he was even more anxious, as if he believed that Niu Youdao's fake death was more dangerous than not being dead, he persisted, "Mister, I only want to know, do you have a confirmed corpse? If the corpse cannot be confirmed, then we cannot eliminate our suspicions! "
The shopkeeper raised his head to look at the sky, chuckling, "So in your eyes, those of the Saint realm are all trash? You can't even tell if someone is really dead or not? The scene of the assassin chasing after Niu Youdao and killing Niu Youdao was witnessed by many people of the Fox Demon Department, they saw Niu Youdao die to the Heavenly Sword Talisman, how could it be wrong? A mere mortal like you has never experienced the power of the Heavenly Sword Talisman, you naturally do not know the severity of the situation, how laughable! "
Shao Pingbo persuaded earnestly, "This one indeed does not have the qualifications to experience the power of the Heavenly Sword Talisman, but according to what I know, during the decisive battle between Yan and Zhao at the Corner Lake, so many experts of the three great sects of Zhao used the Heavenly Sword Talismans to surround and attack, but still failed to kill Niu Youdao. How did he manage to kill Niu Youdao in one blow in that Desolate Swamp Wasteland?"
The innkeeper replied, "In the battle of Corner Lake, Niu Youdao had brought along quite a number of Sky Sword Talismans to defend himself. Their strengths were countered, so he managed to escape. Shao Pingbo, who do the three great sects of the State of Zhao think they are? Do they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as people of the Saint Realm? "
He pointed a finger at Shao Pingbo's nose. "Also, I'm telling you, don't talk about corpses. Niu Youdao was assassinated in front of everyone's eyes, and the corpse was not damaged beyond recognition. The area of injury was not on his face, but on his back. The face is clear, and there is no doubt that it is him! "
"What do you know about the matters of the Saint realm? It's not as simple as you think. Niu Youdao was the inspector of the Saint Land and was appointed by The Lord. When the inspector was assassinated by The Lord, it was impossible to bury him hastily. The corpses had to be transported back for verification. They couldn't just randomly report it. The corpses had been verified repeatedly, and the person who died was Niu Youdao. Even the physical characteristics of Niu Youdao under his clothes had been verified. I've also personally gone to see it, so there's no mistake! "
Shao Pingbo was suspicious. "Even the people of the Saint Land know about the physical characteristics of Niu Youdao's body under his clothes?"
The shopkeeper had an 'I'll teach you' look on his face as he sneered, "The inspectors of the various sects who entered the saint realm are not allowed to bring in any external objects. Even the clothes inside and out are changed. It was a public naked swap. The characteristics of Niu Youdao's body were seen by others."
He raised his hand and made a cut on Shao Pingbo's chest. "For example, there's an eye-catching scar on his chest. It's one of the pieces of evidence. It's a scar left by an old injury, and it was verified during the autopsy. How could it be faked? Are the inspection methods of the cultivators so useless in your eyes? In addition, Niu Youdao's death had alerted the Nine Saints. His body was personally examined by the Nine Saints. Do you think that so many cultivators have better eyesight than you? Who do you think you are? "
The innkeeper's words were irrefutable! Shao Pingbo was speechless. He was at a loss and mumbled to himself, "Dead … Niu Youdao died just like that … How could he die just like that?"
The innkeeper chuckled. "That was his own death. You can also say that he was forced to die by the Nine Saints!"
Shao Pingbo regained his senses. "Sir, what do you mean?"
The innkeeper replied, "I've already said that the matters of the Saint Land are not as simple as you think. Do you think it's easy to be an inspector? It's like a knife in the hands of the Nine Saints. If you can use it, use it; if you can't, then abandon it. You should have heard about the matter of the inspectors being killed outside. That's the logic. It's impossible for Niu Youdao and the others to continue idling around. They should have realized that if they can't come up with anything useful, or if the inspectors can't find what the Nine Saints want, they will die! "
"What kind of place is the Saint Land? It's occupied by all kinds of forces. It's not like the outside world, where you can do whatever you want. It's very difficult to find anything useful. So, these people touched things that they shouldn't touch in order to survive. To be able to mobilize a group of people in the Saint Land and use a group of large flying beasts to hunt down Niu Youdao, how could he be an ordinary person? At that time, he seemed to have obtained some unfavorable evidence against someone and offended someone that he shouldn't have. That's why he was killed! "
Shao Pingbo was silent.
The innkeeper said, "In the future, if there's nothing urgent, don't bother me with such trivial matters." He was about to leave.
"Sir, please wait." Shao Pingbo hurriedly stopped the innkeeper. "I still have a request."
The innkeeper stopped and asked coldly, "What is it?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Huyan Wuhen! This person is the biggest threat to my Jin army. With the pervasive net in your hands, if I can get your help, it won't be difficult to get rid of Huyan Wuhen! "
The innkeeper sneered, "You have a lot of things to do. You're ordering me around in all kinds of matters. What, are you going to use your weakness to threaten me for the rest of my life? Let me tell you, enough is enough. Pushing me into a corner won't do you any good! "
Shao Pingbo hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed, "I don't dare! I'm sincerely asking for your help. "
The innkeeper said disdainfully, "Why should I help you?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Why do you want me to run Hong Yunfa? No matter how strong you are, you still need people to work for you, especially those who work in the dark. "
"Although I don't know the depth of the Saint State or the internal situation of the Misty Pavilion, there are bound to be restrictions and rules. I'm sure there will be times when it's inconvenient for you to use the people of the Misty Pavilion. Hong Yunfa had to die, but he still got investigated. That's a lesson."
"Sir, think about it. If the Jin State can wipe out Qi and Wei, and I can be used by you, in the future, you only need to tell me if you need anything in the three western countries."
The innkeeper said indifferently, "If the Jin State can really control the three western countries, there will be many people with a higher status than you. I can use anyone, but you?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Sir, you're right. There are the Cloud Equipment Sect and the Jin Emperor Tai-shu Xiong. But is it really suitable for you to go to them directly? Whether it's in the name of the Saint State or the Misty Pavilion, it can't be considered as your private affairs. If you use these two names to conduct private affairs, not to mention whether you will be exposed, do you think they will dare to do things behind the Misty Pavilion's back? "
"Whether it is the Cloud Equipment Sect or Tai-shu Xiong, with their current status, they won't do anything for you. Between you and the Misty Pavilion, there is no need to think about which side they will stand on."
"Of course, there are still hundreds of officials who can be used. However, there are many constraints and conflicts among the officials. If you get involved, I don't know if it will help or harm you. I'm just a little different. I'm confident that I can control them. As long as I can get your support, I will not let you down! "
The innkeeper was silent for a while. He looked at Shao Pingbo up and down. He had to admit that Shao Pingbo was indeed capable, which had been tested by many things. The important thing was that Shao Pingbo was not afraid of the pressure of the Misty Pavilion. Of course, the most important thing was that Shao Pingbo did have something on him.
Seeing that the innkeeper seemed to be moved, Shao Pingbo bowed deeply and cupped his hands. "Shao Pingbo is untalented, but I am willing to serve you."
The innkeeper did not directly agree. Slowly, he said, "It's not that easy to kill Huyan Wuhen. Huyan Wuhen's housekeeper, Cha Hu, was defeated by Ximen Qingkong years ago, but it was a defeat that caused his ranking to drop. He is not even in the top ten of the Pill List, but in a real fight, even Ximen Qingkong may not be his match."
"This person has a high cultivation base, but he is willing to be Huyan Wuhen's lackey. He follows Huyan Wuhen almost never leaves his side. With this person around, it is impossible to simply assassinate him, unless a large number of masters surround him. Huyan Wuhen's bodyguards are not weak. Moreover, he is in the army, so it is difficult to even get close to him. It is impossible to assassinate him by force. "
Shao Pingbo said, "If we can't do it openly, we can do it secretly."
The innkeeper said, "Now that the high ranks have the advantage, haven't they already forced Huyan Wuhen to retreat step by step?"
Shao Pingbo said, "It is only temporary. How can mere hostages bear the threat of a nation's annihilation? Right now, the State of Wei is in a difficult position. But if the State of Qi is in danger, Huyan Wuhen will roam the battlefield and kill decisively. Even if blood flows like a river and corpses are strewn everywhere, how can he be merciful? Ming of Yan Mountain, Qi Wuhen, his reputation is not for nothing. I fear that the high ranks may not be Huyan Wuhen's match! "
The shopkeeper slowly said, "The seven servants that Cha Hu has trained are all loyal and devoted. Moreover, they are all experts. These people have complete control over Huyan Wuhen's daily life. They don't give any opportunity for outsiders to take advantage of them. It's impossible to assassinate them. Think about it, there are countless people within and outside of Qi who want to kill Huyan Wuhen. If it were that easy, how could Huyan Wuhen still be alive today? "
Shao Pingbo said, "Even the Misty Pavilion's secret forces can't do it?"
The innkeeper shook his head, "If the Misty Pavilion wants to kill Huyan Wuhen, it won't be a problem. But the problem is that assassinating him will also have to face the same problem I just mentioned. They can't do it openly, can they? Without an order from the Misty Pavilion, who would dare to do it? If I force it, when the time comes, will you be able to escape, or will I? "
