Shao Sansheng paused for a moment but still replied, "Yes!"
Shao Pingbo said, "Whether Niu Youdao will go to the Ice and Snow Pavilion or not, send someone to inform the Song family in Yan Jing. Song family will handle it."
Speaking of this, he suppressed his anger. He wasn't sure how much influence the nursery rhyme would have on his father's side. This had become the most important thing for him now and he had to restrain himself in all aspects. Once something unexpected happened here, the attitude of the Great Zen Mountain was very important. Without confirming whether Niu Youdao would go to the Ice and Snow Pavilion or not, he couldn't make use of him. If he made a wasted trip or something unexpected happened, he was worried that people would have a problem with him.
After the nursery rhyme incident, he had to be more cautious.
Shao Sansheng said, "Speaking of the Song family in Yan Jing, I have something to report to Eldest Young Master. Wang Heng, one of the commanders in the capital region of Yan Jing, took back his daughter who was married to the Song family. The Song family also issued a document allowing his daughter to remarry. Wang Heng made this matter public. The Song family in Yan Jing doesn't seem to be in the right direction."
"Oh!" Shao Pingbo was surprised. He pondered and said hesitantly, "Song Jiuming is Tong Mo's confidant, but Wang Heng wants to cut ties with the Song family. It seems that something happened in the Yan Imperial Court. I don't know if it has anything to do with Song Long's death. We need to keep an eye on this matter."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng agreed and asked, "Did you inform the Song family about this? The Yan Imperial Court also wants to deal with him. Moreover, the Yan Imperial Court is more powerful. "
Shao Pingbo shook his head slightly. "I've paid attention to the details of the arrest at the courier station. The Yan Kingdom used these spies very carefully. They didn't let them do anything that would arouse suspicion. All they did was pass a message. How could Niu Youdao know so much about the situation at the courier station? I suspect that someone leaked the information to him. The Yan Imperial Court has many people. We can't figure out the situation. It's better to let the Song family handle it. No matter how useless the Song family is, at least they know more about the Yan Imperial Court than us. "
"Okay." Shao Sansheng nodded.
"Also, in terms of the guards, be more careful." Shao Pingbo reminded with a taut face.
He had no choice. After the nursery rhyme incident, he was pushed to the heart of the struggle. Whether it was the Yan Empire or the Han Empire, those who wanted to get rid of Shao Dengyun, who had a strong military force, would have their eyes on him.
He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Niu Youdao was able to put pressure on him in all aspects with just a casual move, while he could only think about how to hunt down and kill Niu Youdao. This made him feel like the difference between the two of them was clear, and he did not like this feeling at all.
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng agreed. When he saw that Shao Sansheng was fine, he instructed him again, "Eldest Young Master, wash up and hurry over. It's not good to let the Provincial Governor wait for too long."
Shao Pingbo came back to his senses and strode out of the hall, heading straight for the bathroom.
When she reached the bathroom, she immediately stripped naked, lifted the gauze curtain, and went to the back to take a shower. After that, she soaked in the warm water that was poured into the bathtub.
Outside the gauze curtain, maids went in and out to place the clothes.
After the maids left, a graceful figure, a woman in a long green dress, walked in.
The woman held a zither in her arms and placed it horizontally on the table in the room. She sat next to the zither, and her slender fingers moved up and down. Elegant melodies of the zither could be heard.
She had a beautiful face that could outshine the moon and put flowers to shame. She had a charming smile on her face as she tilted her head to look at the shadowy figures soaking in the bath behind the gauze curtain.
The woman's name was Su Zhao, and she was also Shao Pingbo's cousin. She could be considered the only cultivator in the Shao Family.
Shao Pingbo, who was soaking in the water with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the zither. He turned to look at the vague figure outside the gauze curtain and asked with a smile, "When did Sister Zhao come back?"
The sound of the zither stopped, and the figure stood up. With a sweet voice, she said, "As soon as I returned to Han, I heard a nursery rhyme that was detrimental to you, so I immediately rushed back to Beizhou. What happened?"
Shao Pingbo splashed water on his face. "Have you heard of Niu Youdao? He's the one who killed Yan's envoy … "He briefly explained the situation.
Su Zhao's figure paced back and forth outside the gauze curtain. "This Niu Youdao is so vicious!"
Shao Pingbo said, "You don't have to worry about this. You should focus on opening up the State of Qi and the State of Wei. If Beizhou wants to make a difference, a large number of warhorses and provisions are indispensable. When Beizhou survives the disaster and has ample financial resources, I will start working on this matter. Sister Zhao, this matter concerns the future of Beizhou, so you have a great responsibility! "
Su Zhao said, "I know. I've heard so much about it that my ears are growing calluses. I've been working on it and haven't had a chance to relax. Don't worry."
After the bath, Shao Pingbo went to the dressing table in the outer room and sat down. Su Zhao waved her hand to dismiss the maid and personally helped him comb his hair.
"Long time no see. Don't you have something private to talk to me about?" Su Zhao asked with a smile.
Shao Pingbo said, "Let's talk about it later. I've just returned, and I still have to report to my father."
Su Zhao was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Will you marry me?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Do I need to doubt it?"
Su Zhao said, "Okay, give me an exact time."
Shao Pingbo frowned. "Are you kidding? If I marry you now, once your identity is revealed, how are you going to work in Qi State? Have you forgotten the great feud between uncle and aunt? "
Su Zhao said, "I think you've fallen for that Tang Yi!"
Shao Pingbo sighed. "Tang Yi is a married woman. You know why I'm pursuing her. Do I still need to reiterate Zhao Xiongge's value to you?"
Su Zhao smiled with a hint of worry, but her hands did not stop. "I understand the reason, but I really don't have any confidence in my heart. I'm doing dirty things. If that day comes, will you still marry someone like me?"
Shao Pingbo raised his hand and grabbed her hand. He looked at her in the mirror. "Don't think too much. Why haven't I married? Sister Zhao, I'll only marry you in this life! "
Su Zhao sighed faintly. "I hope so!"
Shao Pingbo strode into the Beizhou Provincial Governor's Mansion. The butler of the mansion, Yang Shuang, heard the news and came over. He personally led Shao Pingbo away.
As the two of them chatted, a beautiful and cheerful girl hopped out of the garden. She looked similar to Shao Pingbo. She was his younger sister, Shao Liuer, who came from the same mother.
Seeing her eldest brother, Shao Liuer immediately retracted her cheerfulness and walked over like a well-behaved lady. She was obviously afraid of her eldest brother.
"Eldest brother!" Shao Liuer half-squatted and bowed. She stood up and was about to slip away.
"Stop!" Shao Pingbo said coldly.
Shao Liuer's body froze. She said timidly, "Eldest brother, do you have any instructions?"
The butler, Yang Shuang, smiled. The siblings were all afraid of their eldest brother.
Shao Pingbo said coldly, "I heard that you guys started a poetry club recently. You seem to be hanging out with a bunch of foppish people all day. Do you still look like a girl?"
Shao Liuer said, "Eldest brother, your words are unpleasant. We're just exchanging poems. How did it become foppish?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Can poems be used to make a living or to kill enemies? Can't you take a look at the current situation? There are so many commoners in the Northern Province who don't even have enough to eat. You guys spend all day drinking and swaggering around. What will the commoners think of you? "
Shao Liuer said, "Eldest brother, you're right. I'll tell them to restrain themselves in the future."
Shao Pingbo leaned forward and stood in front of her. "From what you're saying, you're going to continue hanging out with them, right?"
Shao Liuer mumbled, "Eldest brother, what do you mean by 'hanging out'? Poems are elegant things that can cultivate one's mind. They're all like-minded people."
Shao Pingbo said, "Like-Minded people? You're just an ignorant and fearless little girl. If you weren't the daughter of the provincial governor, how many people would be like-minded like you? You're happy being flattered every day, aren't you? In the future, you should just stay at home and study, write, and learn things that women should learn. Don't try running around again! "
Shao Liuer said, "I only went because second mother agreed."
Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes. "I heard that you're quite close to Tan Yaoxian from the poetry club? When are you free to bring him over to see me? "
Shao Liuer immediately looked terrified. "Eldest brother, he's my friend. Don't mess around!"
Shao Pingbo said, "Let me tell you, a girl's marriage is decided by her parents. You can't mess around. If you don't want to harm him, then control yourself!" He turned around and strode away.
Yang Shuangguai shook his head and followed.
Shao Liuer's eyes reddened. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
The government hall was where the provincial governor's residence handled official affairs.
The second son of the Shao family, Shao Wubo, was discussing government affairs with a few officials.
The third son of the Shao family, Shao Fubo, was still wearing his armor. He leaned against the window with a leaf in his mouth and looked out of the window in boredom. His gaze suddenly paused. He moved away from the window and came to Shao Wubo's side. He tugged on Shao Wubo's clothes. "Second brother, he's here. He's here."
Everyone in the room looked outside and saw Shao Pingbo striding over. However, he didn't enter the room. Instead, he went to the other side with Yang Shuangguai.
Seeing that they had left, Shao Fubo snorted, "Fake Cloud King, True Wave King …"
Shao Wubo nudged him with his elbow and made him shut up.
There was a loft next to the government hall. The burly Shao Dengyun was standing in the loft. When he saw his son walking down the stairs, his gaze was a little complicated.
He thought of the past. When King Ning was still alive, this son of his tried his best to persuade him to give up the prosperous capital and volunteered to be stationed at the border of Beizhou. Later on, when King Ning died and the imperial court purged King Ning's former subordinates, Shao Dengyun was pushed by his son to rebel against the country. He escaped the calamity and became a feudal lord.
At that time, he was very hesitant about whether to rebel or not. It was King Ning who single-handedly promoted him from a small centurion to a general who held great authority over the army. He was deeply indebted to King Ning. Secondly, after you commit treason, the enemy country might not treat you well.
However, when the incident happened, he realized that his son had prepared many things for him.
After that, he realized that from the moment he persuaded him to leave the capital, his son didn't think well of King Ning. He had been planning for this day to come.
This son of his was not like him. He was like his intelligent mother. Unfortunately, his mother passed away when she was young.
