Seeing that Shao Pingbo had helped his army greatly in battle, he wanted to help Shao Pingbo.
If he was willing to throw caution to the wind and help, the tricks of the people in the imperial court would definitely be foiled by him. There was no other reason than that he was now the commander-in-chief of this war. With the war in his hands, it meant that he had a lot of authority.
Just as he had said, he had climbed step by step from a small soldier to his current position. Only he knew what he had experienced. If he threw caution to the wind and helped Shao Pingbo, he would be opposing the entire court. He could not do that.
He knew very well that the Emperor stood behind Shao Pingbo. As long as Shao Pingbo did not act rashly and did not give the people in court something to use against him, those people could only do this. They did not dare to act too rashly. Otherwise, the Emperor would kill them.
If Shao Pingbo did not act rashly, those people in court would have no reason to act rashly. If it was the other way around, it would be a different situation.
Those people knew that they could not stop the Emperor from helping Shao Pingbo ascend the throne. Left and right, they might as well force Shao Pingbo into a mess. Once Shao Pingbo could not swallow this anger and did something, those people would have achieved their goal.
He was leading the army in battle and did not wish for there to be internal strife in the court behind him. Regardless of whether Shao Pingbo acted rashly or those people in court acted rashly, it could affect the battle of his army. He hoped that the two sides would stop here and not continue to deepen the conflict.
When the battle was over, the two sides could do whatever they wanted. At worst, he would stand in court and not make a sound. He would not offend or help either side.
They had suddenly met, and the difference in their ranks was not small. It was not without reason that he had repeatedly called out "little brother" in hopes of persuading this person.
Shao Pingbo's eyes flashed. He had sensed something was wrong earlier. Now, the other person's strange words made him even more aware. He asked probingly, "Has something happened in the capital? Commander, if you have any advice, please enlighten me! "
Gao Pin chuckled and did not say much. He waved his hand and indicated for the messenger to enter.
Then, he sat back down at the table and flipped through the documents on the table, appearing to be busy with other matters.
Soon, a member of the Black Water Platform who had followed Shao Pingbo entered the tent. After saluting, he handed a secret letter to Shao Pingbo.
Shao Pingbo retracted his sidelong glance at Gao Pin and looked at the paper in his hand. He glanced at the contents and saw that the Seventh Princess, Taishu Huan 'er, had trespassed into the imperial court. He was immediately attracted by the content.
However, the more he read, the hand holding the letter gradually trembled. His expression also changed. Then, his entire body seemed to be trembling.
But as he read, his hand holding the letter began to tremble. His expression also changed. His body seemed to be trembling as well.
Gao Pin, who was sitting behind the desk, also stopped what he was doing and stared at Shao Pingbo's reaction. He found that Shao Pingbo's face had turned pale, almost losing its color in the blink of an eye.
She sighed in her heart. Those people in the imperial court were too ruthless. This kind of thing would be hard for anyone to accept. Even if Shao Pingbo agreed, it would plant a hidden danger in Shao Pingbo. If he disrespected the Princess in the future, it would make His Majesty suspicious.
Even if His Majesty was not suspicious, someone would immediately make a fuss about it. He could even imagine what some people would do. Why did they disrespect the Princess? To the emperor, or to Chen Changgong. In short, as long as Shao Pingbo continued to climb, there would be people stabbing him with cold knives. How long could Shao Pingbo endure it? Shao Sansheng Shao even blamed Yin Chu for being muddle-headed. Why did he kill Chen Changgong? This would not have happened if Chen Changgong had not been killed.
But he could not blame Yin Chu. In order to defend Xiping Pass and stabilize the army, Yin Chu did not hesitate to offend the emperor. As a general, he could not say no.
But he could not blame Yin Chu. In order to defend Xiping Pass and stabilize the morale of the army, Yin Chu had not hesitated to offend the Emperor. As a general, he had done so much for him. As the commander-in-chief, he could not say the word "no."
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng suddenly screamed. He rushed over and supported Shao Pingbo.
Shao Pingbo, who had finished reading the letter, suddenly clutched his chest. His breathing was obviously disordered. Shao Sansheng knew him too well. He knew that Shao Pingbo must have suffered a great shock and was showing signs of illness again.
Shao Pingbo shifted his gaze away from the paper and met Gao Pin's gaze. At this moment, he finally understood what Gao Pin meant. His hand that was holding the letter was trembling, and so was his voice. "Minister of War, I've been working my heart out for Dajin at the frontlines, but someone in the imperial court is trying to harm me behind my back.
Shao Sansheng supported him with one hand and took the letter with the other. After reading it quickly, he was shocked!
Gao Pin stood up, raised his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice, "What treacherous official? Brother, there are some things that you can say in my big tent, but you can't talk nonsense when you're out of here. You have no evidence. Where did the traitor come from? If your nonsense is spread, you will be asking for trouble. No matter what you and I know, the princess's marriage was done out of kindness. Even His Majesty can't say anything bad about them. You should understand this! "
Shao Sansheng interrupted rudely. He cried sadly, "Minister of War, don't say anymore!"
Gao Pin did not know Shao Pingbo's illness. He was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood.
"Pfft …" Shao Pingbo suddenly made a muffled sound. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth. His eyes rolled back, and he fell backward.
"Young Master!" Shao Sansheng exclaimed. Fortunately, he held Shao Pingbo with one hand. He did not let Shao Pingbo fall to the ground. The messenger from Black Water Platform rushed over to support him. He found that Shao Pingbo had fainted.
"…" Gao Pin was shocked. He was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he shouted, "Guards! Guards! "
Cultivators and soldiers immediately rushed in from outside.
Gao Pin pointed at the person who had fainted and shouted angrily, "Save him! Save him! If anything happens to Lord Shao, I will hold you responsible!"
A group of people hurriedly examined Shao Pingbo. They quickly helped him to sort out his breath. This big tent was not a good place to manage, so they hurriedly carried him out.
Shao Sansheng, who ran out with them, was wiping his tears!
Outside the tent, the headmaster of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Linghu Qiu, suddenly became alert. He stared at the person carried out by a group of people in surprise.
He saw Shao Pingbo descending from the sky. He was quite concerned about this person who had tried to recruit him and was also Niu Youdao's opponent.
He did not expect that he would be carried out. He did not know what happened.
Now the entire Heaven and Earth Sect was brought to the battlefield to fight with the Jin army.
The death of Niu Youdao had a great impact on him and the Heaven and Earth Sect. When Niu Youdao was alive, he was even received by Emperor Taishu Xiong. After he followed the army, his position was not that dangerous. Once Niu Youdao died, he seemed to have lost his value. During the battle, the Heaven and Earth Sect was driven to the frontline.
Later, he took the initiative to leak the news that Chuan Ying was from the Heaven and Earth Sect. So, he was transferred to the central tent, where it was safer to follow the center of the army.
He did not want to use Chuan Ying's identity. However, in the face of the cruel battle between the two armies, the Heaven and Earth Sect, a newly established sect, would not be able to bear the losses. He had no choice but to make use of it …
"How can he be so narrow-minded?" Gao Pin stamped his feet and sighed. Then, he paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.
A general who heard the news rushed in and asked anxiously, "Marshal, did Lord Shao … offend you?" He thought that Gao Pin had tortured him.
Gao Pin waved his hand and did not want to talk about it. Suddenly, he saw a piece of paper on the ground. He bent down and picked it up. Yes, it was the letter sent to Shao Pingbo from the capital.
Shao Sansheng was so focused on Shao Pingbo that he did not have time to care about this. He did not even know when he dropped the letter.
"A letter from Black Water Platform …" Gao Pin muttered while stroking his beard after reading the letter. He was a little surprised by the content of the letter. It only described what happened in the court and did not mention anything about His Majesty's attitude.
Theoretically, Black Water Platform was under His Majesty's control. It was impossible for Black Water Platform to help Shao Pingbo monitor the court.
In an instant, he nodded thoughtfully and understood something.
Seeing that the general beside him was still trying to figure it out, Gao Pin handed the letter to him. "Read it yourself."
The general quickly took over the letter. After reading it, he was speechless for a while. Finally, he sighed and said, "About the Seventh Princess, alas, Lord Shao really shot himself in the foot! Marshal, does this count as retribution? "
Gao Pin glanced at him coldly. "You know nothing!"
Everyone could blame Shao Pingbo for what he had done, but they could not. Shao Pingbo had helped them a lot and reduced the losses of the Jin army.
The general was a little embarrassed and scratched his face.
…
In the secret chamber of Nanzhou State, after reading the message from Wei Duo, Niu Youdao seemed to understand something. He put down the letter thoughtfully.
Guan Fangyi asked tentatively, "What if Shao Pingbo does not want to be humiliated and runs away?" She brought the letter. Based on her character, there was no reason for her not to read it. She already knew the content of the letter.
Niu Youdao shook his head and smiled faintly. "It's good that he can run away. Without the protection of the power of Jin, it will be much easier. He can't run away. The reason why I ordered Jia Wuqun to force Shao Pingbo to marry Taishu Huan 'er is to put a rope around Shao Pingbo's neck. He can use the power of Jin to protect himself, but I can also use the power of Jin to suppress him. This kind of person is too dangerous. Once he finds a fulcrum, it may not be a good thing for him to run away. I have suffered a loss from him in Qi Capital. "
"This kind of person is not so easy to kill. I have put him to death many times, but he still managed to escape. Use the power of Jin to force him to show up, and then use the power of Jin to keep an eye on him. First, we can prevent him from colluding with other forces. Only then will we have a chance to kill him. Otherwise, Jia Wuqun may not be able to kill him! "
Guan Fangyi was puzzled. "Jin to keep an eye on him?"
Niu Youdao laughed. "Who is Shao Pingbo? He is a Poison Warrior! At this point, how can Taishu Xiong not see it clearly? He will not let Shao Pingbo run away. He would rather kill him than let him go to someone else! "
Guan Fangyi suddenly understood.
…
In the Imperial Study of Jin Imperial Palace, the lights were brightly lit. Sitting behind the desk, Taishu Xiong, who saw Shao Pingbo vomiting blood and fainting, was silent.
After a long silence, Taishu Xiong said Slowly, "Tao Lue, he can refuse the marriage, but he can't leave!"
Tao Lue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Lord Shao is a capable subject. This old servant has already ordered that he will be taken care of!"
