Shao Pingbo, who was staring at the lake, looked at him coldly. "I don't have guts. I was forced by you."
Jia Wuqun: If you don't want to come, these things are not enough to kill you.
Shao Pingbo stared at Yuan Congduo. "You didn't tempt me to come here to kill you?"
Jia Wuqun: You are here in the name of the Jin. How would I dare to kill you?
Shao Pingbo: Since I am here, can you tell me why you tried to harm me?
Jia Wuqun: I purposely harmed you to test you! If you can't even avoid such a minor tribulation, then so be it if you die. You don't have the qualifications to stand here, nor do you have the qualifications to discuss the world with me.
Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered as he understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrows. "Discuss the world?"
Jia Wuqun nodded: When you were in the Northern Region, I had been paying attention to you. Could it be that with Sir's ambition, he was willing to be a teacher?
Shao Pingbo didn't say anything and said coldly, "What is there to discuss?"
Jia Wuqun: As long as the Nine Sages are alive, the world will not be peaceful!
As soon as these words came out, it could be said to be earth-shattering, and it shocked Shao Pingbo quite a bit. He suddenly turned around to face her, and after sizing her up, he said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Jia Wuqun's expression was calm: Only you and me are the true heroes of the world! If you and I work together, we can achieve great things!
Shao Pingbo's heart skipped a beat. "You are just an ordinary man and you dare to compete with the Nine Sages? As far as I know, you have never been ambitious. Why are you so ambitious? "
Jia Wuqun opened his mouth and pointed at his tongueless mouth. Then, he continued to write on his back: If I don't take revenge, I am not a man! Daren is alone, Lao Ai is alone. I am willing to lend Daren a helping hand!
Revenge for my tongue! Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered and he asked thoughtfully, "How can I help?"
Jia Wuqun: If you want to take over the Song Kingdom, I am willing to help you!
Shao Pingbo didn't doubt Jia Wuqun's ability. In fact, he was quite tempted. He sneered. "You want to compete with the Nine Sages?"
Jia Wuqun: If I don't try my best, how will I know? If you and I work together, we can achieve great things!
Shao Pingbo asked tentatively, "What do you want me to do?"
Jia Wuqun: I want to know who the person behind you is. That person from the Misty Pavilion.
Shao Pingbo's heartstrings tightened, "What Misty Pavilion? You're thinking too much."
Jia Wuqun: Your Excellency, this is meaningless. Do you really want me to reveal the contents of the letter?
Shao Pingbo: "Are you threatening me?"
Jia Wuqun: It's not a threat. I'm not interested in the world. I just want to overthrow the Nine Saints. The person behind you must have a high position in the Misty Pavilion. I want to use him to find that person.
Shao Pingbo was puzzled. "Who?"
Jia Wuqun: The former Minister of Internal Affairs of the State of Zhao, Zhuge Chi, is a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Nine Saints have already set up a trap and he will fall into it at any time. I need to help Zhuge Chi.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator?" Shao Pingbo was a bit startled. He had never heard of this before. He looked him up and down. "How did you know?"
Jia Wuqun: My knowledge of the cultivation world is far beyond your imagination.
Yuan Cong, who was speaking on Jia Wuqun's behalf, was speechless. He glanced at a pavilion not far away. A person was standing there. It was none other than Niu Youdao.
The disguised Niu Youdao was standing on the pavilion, staring at the two people talking by the pool.
Yun Ji, who had also disguised herself as a man, went up the pavilion. She walked to the side of Niu Youdao, who was leaning against the railing. She looked in the direction he was looking at and asked calmly, "Will Shao Pingbo agree?"
Niu Youdao: "The strength that Jia Wuqun has shown is exactly what he needs. It can ensure his safety, allow him to manage his affairs with peace of mind, solve his worries, and subdue the person behind him. There are so many benefits, why wouldn't he agree? The two of them are birds of a feather, and great things are in store. They should be able to hit it off. "
Yun Ji: "Can he trust Jia Wuqun?"
Niu Youdao: "It doesn't matter whether he can trust him or not. Don't expect this kind of person to trust you easily. It's fine as long as he can feel at ease. As long as Jia Wuqun interferes, as long as he thinks that he can get hold of Jia Wuqun's weakness, that Jia Wuqun won't dare to do anything to him, and that he can still make use of Jia Wuqun, he will do it. Don't forget, Jia Wuqun also killed someone from the Misty Pavilion. In fact, Jia Wuqun won't dare to betray him. "
Yun Ji sneered, "One of you did something shameful behind the scenes with the Misty Pavilion, and the other killed someone from the Misty Pavilion, which is also shameful. The two of you are really birds of a feather." She turned around and looked at him. "Haven't you always been afraid of him? How dare you leave such a weakness in his hands?"
Niu Youdao: "When he knows that I am still alive, do you think I will still care about this weakness? My plan in the human world is complete. Do you think he is still qualified to be my opponent? I need him now, so I will use him. That's all. He doesn't have the qualifications to jump out of the chessboard. If he does, he will be out of the game! "
The banquet in the Zi Mansion was very sumptuous. After the guests enjoyed themselves, Shao Pingbo and his wife took their leave.
On the way back to the embassy of the Jin Kingdom, inside the swaying carriage, Tai-shu Huan 'er noticed that her husband's expression was unusually solemn. She tried to ask, "What's wrong?"
Shao Pingbo grabbed her hand and shook his head. "Nothing."
In the depths of the Zi Mansion, Jia Wuqun, who had just returned from seeing off the guests, walked to the side of Niu Youdao, who was playing with his writing board, and wrote on Yuan Cong's back.
However, Yuan Cong didn't speak on time. Instead, he coughed.
Niu Youdao, who was sitting down, raised his head. When he saw that it was Yuan Cong, he felt slightly guilty and quickly stood up.
Both Yun Ji and Jia Wuqun were slightly surprised. They both noticed that something was wrong with this scene.
Only then did Yuan Cong speak, "Fortunately, he did not disappoint me. He has joined hands with me."
Niu Youdao smiled. "It's just a small matter. Mister will definitely be able to handle it. It's within my expectations. There are too many people here, so it's not convenient for me to stay for long. I'll take my leave now and wait for Mister's good news. "He cupped his hands and bowed, focusing on Yuan Cong. Then, he waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to send him off.
He turned around and left with Yun Ji. When he passed by Wei Duo, he merely glanced at Wei Duo a few more times. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Wei Duo.
Jia Wuqun's expression was somewhat complicated as he watched them leave. Some of the things he had said were not just for Shao Pingbo to hear. He also clearly felt that the Southern State was indeed fighting with the Sage Realm.
He found it hard to believe that a mere Southern State had such power and means …
Niu Youdao returned to the Southern State, but Shao Pingbo wasn't in a hurry to leave. He lingered in the Song Capital for a few days and visited the learned scholar Fang Changqu several times.
Fang Changqu refused to leave with Shao Pingbo, saying that Shao Pingbo killed his brother and mother. He was a man without virtue, so he wasn't willing to follow him.
Shao Pingbo didn't care about these curses anymore.
In the end, it was Jia Wuqun who helped him. The power of the Prime Minister of the Song Empire wasn't something that Fang Changqu could contend with. Although Fang Changqu was a learned scholar, he wasn't a true saint without selfish desires. He still had a family to support, so he had no choice but to submit …
After returning to the Jin Capital, Shao Pingbo took a bath and changed his clothes. After washing up, he went into the study and stood in front of the map. He stared at the position of the boundless desert for a while before pulling the rope on the wall. The bell outside the study rang.
Soon, Shao Sansheng strode in and asked, "What orders does Young Master have?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Send a message to the shopkeeper. Tell him to meet me on the island at the center of the Wolf Lake, twenty li south of the city, three days later in the afternoon. If he doesn't come, don't regret it!"
Shao Sansheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing that he had made up his mind, he finally accepted the order. "Yes!"
As planned, three days later, the sun was shining brightly. Shao Pingbo, who was in disguise, appeared at the lakeside of the Wolf Lake, twenty li south of the city.
He didn't bring any extra people with him, only one bodyguard.
Shao Pingbo found a fisherman by the lakeside. He threw some money to the fisherman and boarded the boat alone. He left the bodyguard on the shore and leisurely arrived at the island in the center of the lake on a small boat.
After leaving the boat and landing on the shore, Shao Pingbo slowly walked along the small path in the forest with his hands behind his back.
There were a few simple pavilions on the island. This was originally one of the places where some rich families would play during their leisure time. However, after the war started, some entertainment activities had been consciously reduced, so it was very quiet now.
Shao Pingbo walked to one of the pavilions and swept the dust off the stool. He slowly sat down and took off the mask on his face.
Just as he was quietly waiting for the person to come, he suddenly saw the fisherman who had previously driven the boat. He came over with a bamboo pole and walked straight into the pavilion. He placed a gourd on the stone table.
Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
The fisherman explained, "I saw that you were alone and didn't bring anything with you. I was afraid that you would be thirsty, so I brought some water for you as a backup."
Shao Pingbo's gaze landed on the mask he had taken off. He suddenly laughed and shook his head slightly. "Shopkeeper, you appear and disappear mysteriously every time you appear. I didn't expect you to personally drive the boat to send me off."
The fisherman raised his face, his gaze cold. He finally recovered his previous voice. "I think you're tired of living!"
Shao Pingbo said calmly, "Shopkeeper, are you thinking of killing me? Don't forget, if I die, your secret will be exposed. "
"Is that so?" The fisherman sneered and suddenly made a move. He instantly grabbed Shao Pingbo's neck with one hand and took out a red pill with the other. "I gave you face, but you don't want it. Eat this. After you have a taste of it, you will naturally be obedient!"
Shao Pingbo, who was almost lifted up by the neck, could not help but open his mouth. The mask in his hand also fell to the ground.
The fisherman's eyes suddenly flashed and he quickly turned around. He realized that a hand was already on his shoulder, making it hard for him to exert any more strength. He heard a soft shout behind him. "Let go!" His arm shook and a huge force surged through his five fingers. He immediately let go of Shao Pingbo.
"Cough cough …" Shao Pingbo held his neck and coughed continuously.
Bang! In the blink of an eye, the fisherman was sent flying by another palm strike. "Kuang!" He crashed into a tree and fell to the ground.
He quickly flipped over and stood up. When he looked up again, he realized that the person who had easily injured him was actually the guard who had escorted Shao Pingbo to the shore. He revealed a shocked expression. He did not know who the other person was, but he could clearly feel that the other person's strength was far higher than his.
Without any other reaction, he immediately flashed away, wanting to escape.
Swoosh! The guard shot out instantly and reached the fisherman's side in the blink of an eye.
The fisherman was shocked. Bang! His chest was hit again. He spat out blood and was sent flying. He fell to the ground and rolled, coughing out blood continuously.
Shao Pingbo, who had recovered from the shock, watched this scene quietly in the pavilion.
