Fei Changliu, Zheng Jiuxiao, and Xia Hua were also waiting here.
When the two sides met, Niu Youdao asked, "Is everything ready?"
Fei Changliu pointed at the fifteen people waiting. "We've each sent an elder to lead the team. They're all experts from the three sects. The people in Qi will also cooperate with you."
Niu Youdao tilted his head and gestured. Gongsun Bu nodded and left two disciples with Niu Youdao, while he led three people to the fifteen experts from the three sects. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, follow me first!"
The fifteen people were stunned. They looked at Niu Youdao, then at Fei Changliu, as if they had doubts.
Fei Changliu helped them ask, "They're responsible for protecting you. Aren't they going with you?"
"There's no need to follow me." Niu Youdao replied and turned to look at the group of people. "Follow him. He'll tell you what to do."
The group of people didn't know what he was up to. He was acting mysterious and didn't give any explanation. In the end, the group of people followed Gongsun Bu. They didn't take the main path, but escaped through the depths of the forest.
After a brief exchange with Fei Changliu and the others, the two sides bid farewell and bid each other farewell. After that, Niu Youdao left and went straight to the exit of the valley.
Linghu Qiu, Hong Xiu, and Hong Fu were already waiting here. Hei Peony and Duan Hu were also there. The two of them accompanied Linghu Qiu this time, while Wu Sanliang and Lei Zongkang stayed behind to watch over the residence.
As they mounted their horses, Linghu Qiu looked around and asked with a smile, "Brother, you didn't bring more people with you? I heard you've made quite a few enemies. "
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "There's no need. There are several sects in Qi. Moreover, I have Elder Brother with me. Who would dare to touch me? If there's any trouble, I'll just mention Elder Brother's name! "
This guy wouldn't go around announcing that he was his sworn brother, would he? Linghu Qiu's mind spun, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He laughed dryly and didn't comment.
Standing on the hillside, Shang Shuqing watched as the group galloped away. He didn't move for a long time, and his face looked even more ferocious under the sunlight. The birthmark on the eyelid caused people to make a visual mistake, making one eye look bigger and the other smaller.
The group galloped out of the valley and onto the main road. Niu Youdao pointed in the direction of the county capital and led the group there.
Surprised, Linghu Qiu called out, "Brother, do you have business in the city?"
Niu Youdao said, "Brother, you're here. I haven't had a good look around Verdant Mountain County yet. Let me show you around."
Linghu Qiu replied, "There's no need for that. I've been there before I came here. This county city is very crowded. It's not suitable for sightseeing. Let's hurry."
Niu Youdao: "To buy some things for the road."
Just like that, several riders entered the city and strolled around. Black Peony casually bought a few things, and the group once again left the city, galloping away.
Along the way, Linghu Qiu glanced at Niu Youdao from time to time. He had a feeling that Niu Youdao didn't enter the city to buy anything.
He paid attention to the things Black Peony bought. There were relay stations along the way, so there was no need to buy these things. Moreover, Niu Youdao had many subordinates under him, so he could easily prepare them in advance. Why would he wait until they set off and then personally buy them?
Moreover, just to buy these things, they had to stroll around the city. He felt that Niu Youdao was purposely strolling around the city, but he couldn't see through Niu Youdao's intentions …
Northern Prefecture, Lingbo Manor. Shao Pingbo received the notice and rushed over to see Su Zhao off.
As soon as he met Su Zhao in the inner chamber, Shao Pingbo immediately asked, "Is there something wrong? It's not easy for you to make a round trip. If there's nothing urgent, why don't you rest for a few more days? "
Su Zhao sighed. "So what if there's nothing? You're busy with work all day. Even if I stay, you won't have time to accompany me. "
Shao Pingbo looked slightly apologetic. He grabbed her hand and smiled bitterly. "I really can't get away for the time being. In the future …"
Su Zhao pressed a finger on his lips, stopping him from continuing. "Don't make any promises to me. Tell me yourself. How many times have you said the same thing? Have you ever fulfilled your promise? All these years, have you ever properly accompanied me for a day? Even when you were locked up last time, you were still busy with work. "
Shao Pingbo sighed. "Give me a few more years!"
Su Zhao stroked his cheek. "In a few more years, I'm afraid I'll be an old man. Will you still like me?"
"Sister Zhao …"
Su Zhao covered his mouth again and smiled. "I'm just joking with you. I really have something to do. It's your business. I have to hurry to make arrangements."
Shao Pingbo's eyes lit up. "War horse?"
Su Zhao shook her head. "The informant in Qingshan County, Niu Youdao. He has been holed up in the mountains for so long and he finally came out. It seems that he's leaving Qingshan County. This time, I'll help you remove this thorn in your side!"
Shao Pingbo's spirit was lifted. "This guy is difficult to deal with. Sister Zhao, you must not be careless!"
Su Zhao nodded slightly. "He's not easy to deal with. I'm afraid it'll be troublesome to make a move."
Shao Pingbo focused his attention and asked, "Did you notice anything wrong?"
Su Zhao raised her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Shao Pingbo asked, "Is there something you can't tell me?"
Su Zhao sighed. "Linghu Qiu! Linghu Qiu went to Qingshan County and stayed with Niu Youdao for a few days. This time, Niu Youdao is out of the mountains and Linghu Qiu is with him. It's not easy to make a move! I've been in contact with Linghu Qiu and was discovered by the organization. They specifically told me that Linghu Qiu has a complicated background and warned me not to provoke him! "
Shao Pingbo's cheeks tightened. He clenched his fists and coughed. His face turned red and white.
Su Zhao hurriedly put his hand on his back and cast a spell to calm his breathing. "You! I know I shouldn't have said it. You'll be irritated if I did. This Niu Youdao has really become a sore point for you! "
Shao Pingbo, who had calmed his breathing and stopped coughing, said with hatred, "This guy had the same idea as me. He's also plotting against Linghu Qiu, but he's one step ahead of me! Cough cough … "He had lost to Niu Youdao time and time again. This time, it was indeed intolerable for him.
Su Zhao said, "Don't worry. One Linghu Qiu won't be able to protect him. I'll find an opportunity to get rid of this big trouble for you!"
Shao Pingbo asked, "This guy has been hiding for a long time. He won't come out of the mountains for no reason. He must have a purpose. Do you know what it is?"
Su Zhao rolled his eyes. "How would I know?"
Shao Pingbo said, "You should know which way to go, right?"
Su Zhao nodded. Shao Pingbo immediately turned around and left.
Su Zhao was stunned. He didn't know what he was going to do. He followed him all the way to his original study.
Shao Pingbo stood in front of the map hanging on the wall. Su Zhao understood his intention. He shook his head helplessly and pointed at the map. "There's a road in the northwest of Qingshan County. It goes northwest."
"Northwest …" Shao Pingbo muttered while staring at the map. Obviously, he was in a state of contemplation. His hand slowly fell on the map, "If we go northwest, we will go in the opposite direction of Guangyi Prefecture. Guangyi Prefecture can be ruled out. He has been hiding all these years because he's afraid of the Yan Imperial Court or me. He won't go anywhere easily. There shouldn't be too many places he can go. There's a possibility that he's heading to Jinzhou in the northwest. Did your spies report back? Did he bring a golden wing with him? "
Su Zhao nodded. "Yes. Two of his men brought two cages of golden wings, six in total! Linghu Qiu's men brought two golden wings. "
"It's not strange for Linghu Qiu to bring the necessary communication equipment with him. We can rule out the golden wings! Six … "Shao Pingbo pointed at Jinzhou." Qingshan County is adjacent to Jinzhou. It's not worth bringing so many golden wings to Jinzhou. So, the possibility of him going to Jinzhou can be ruled out … Then, where is he going? "
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at a certain country in the northwest. He said in a deep voice, "He might be heading to Qi!"
Su Zhao was surprised. "Why do you think he is going to Qi Kingdom?"
Shao Pingbo gritted his teeth. "Warhorses!"
Su Zhao was surprised. "You mean he is going to Qi Kingdom to buy warhorses?"
Shao Pingbo slowly moved to the location of Qi Kingdom on the large map. He stared at the national road of Qi. "The two counties of Shang Chaozong are in a similar situation as Northern Province. They will face the same crisis. I don't believe that Shang Chaozong can't see it and is in urgent need of warhorses! Even if Shang Chaozong can't see it, Lan Ruoting can. "
"In the past, Luo Shaofu, who was by King Ning's side, was a talented man. Unfortunately, he died in an accident! Lan Ruoting was accepted as Luo Shaofu's inner disciple and taught him military strategies. He is not a mediocre man. Otherwise, Luo Shaofu would have looked down on him. Lan Ruoting can't even see this. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Shang Chaozong to escape from the capital. I have known Shang Chaozong since he was young. He joined the army when he was young but has never been involved in internal affairs. The rapid development of Shang Chaozong's two counties must be the work of Lan Ruoting! "
"With Lan Ruoting's strategy, it is impossible for him not to predict the future crisis. He should have sent the Heavenly Jade School to Qi Kingdom to collect warhorses. However, I have not heard of any results. He must have encountered some difficulties. The two counties are Niu Youdao's foothold. How can he just sit back and do nothing? Linghu Qiu went to see him. I have thought of using Linghu Qiu, but the Heavenly Jade School has been fruitless. Now that the situation has forced him, how can he not make use of Linghu Qiu's connections? "
He raised his hand and pointed at the map. "With the imminent crisis, he has finally come out of hiding after hiding for a long time. He is heading northwest, not toward Jinzhou. Linghu Qiu is personally accompanying him. With this series of clues, even if he can't confirm it, the possibility of him going to Qi Kingdom to obtain warhorses is very high. Unless there is an accident that we are unaware of. However, the possibility of that is very small. Since he has the intention of hiding, he will not easily provoke any trouble. Therefore, the possibility of him coming out of hiding to solve other problems is not high. The highest possibility is that he will go to Qi Kingdom to obtain warhorses! "
He suddenly turned around and stared at Su Zhao. In a deep voice, he said, "You can set up an ambush along the route to Qi Kingdom. According to my deduction, the possibility of him being stopped is very high!"
"…" Su Zhao was speechless. She had to admit that what he said made sense. Because of this, even though she knew that this cousin of hers was smart, she was still a little shocked. He was able to determine where Niu Youdao was going and what he was going to do with just a few seemingly unrelated clues. She really didn't know what to say.
Even she felt that it was a little scary for Niu Youdao to provoke such an opponent!
She couldn't help but sigh. "You worry too much. Since I have found his tracks, I naturally have a way to find him. You don't need to worry so much. If you continue like this, when will your illness be cured?"
Shao Pingbo smiled. "It seems that I have worried too much. However, I will still say the same thing. This person is very dangerous. Since he has come out of hiding, he will not be unprepared. He will not be easy to deal with. You must be careful."
Su Zhao stared at him. "Pingbo, there is a saying in the secular world that I want to give to you!"
Shao Pingbo smiled. "I'm all ears!"
