Shao Pingbo was startled and smiled. "I'll be fine. You can keep it for Niu Youdao!"
Su Zhao shook her head. "You are different from him. He has a degree of relaxation. It's evident from how he can cultivate for so long. Also, he is a cultivator. He can regulate his qi and blood and is immune to all diseases. His body is not something you can compare to! "
She pressed her hand on his chest. "Remember! If you want to win, you must take care of your body. Whoever collapses first loses. Only when you are alive can you have the last laugh! "
Shao Pingbo placed his hand on her chest and pressed on the back of her hand. "I cherish my body more than you do!"
"That's good! But I want to ask you, is killing Niu Youdao more important or getting the warhorse? Should I go and get rid of Niu Youdao first or get the warhorse? "Su Zhao stared at him and asked.
Shao Pingbo was silent and seemed to be in a dilemma. "Are the two things conflicting?"
"Of course, if killing Niu Youdao is more important, I will go and get rid of him personally. If the warhorse is more important, I will go to Qi and get someone to deal with Niu Youdao."
Shao Pingbo's eyes flickered. Slowly, he said, "Of course it's the warhorse. The warhorse is the most important thing right now. If something happens to the warhorse, it will affect the entire Northern Continent. Compared to the importance of the warhorse, Niu Youdao's matter can be delayed. Moreover, Niu Youdao's main purpose for this trip is likely to be the warhorse. He shouldn't have the time to care about me for the time being, so it shouldn't be a problem to delay it.
"Okay!" Su Zhao nodded and smiled. She heaved a sigh of relief.
Actually, the two matters did not conflict with each other. She was just testing him. She was afraid that he was too obsessed and saw Niu Youdao as more important than the entire Northern Continent.
Little did she know that Shao Pingbo had already determined that Niu Youdao was the biggest threat to the Northern Continent in the future.
Yan Country, Han Country, Great Zen Mountain, he didn't care about them at all. After so many years, he was very familiar with how to deal with them. The fact that he could survive in Bei Zhou was already proven by the facts. Up until now, the only person that he was wary of was Niu Youdao. He knew what Niu Youdao was thinking. He would not let him go!
There were some things that others might not believe even if they said it out loud. Only when the two sides were evenly matched could they understand each other's thoughts without saying anything.
If he could guarantee that Su Zhao could get rid of Niu Youdao, he would definitely get rid of Niu Youdao first. But he did not think that Su Zhao would succeed so easily.
Just like what he said to Su Zhao before, since Niu Youdao dared to come out, he would definitely be prepared.
He was worried that Su Zhao would be entangled with Niu Youdao. Although the organization behind Su Zhao was very powerful, he felt that Niu Youdao was too dangerous and not easy to deal with. Once he was entangled with Niu Youdao, Su Zhao would be in trouble. If anything happened to Su Zhao, Shao Pingbo's warhorse might be ruined.
After weighing the pros and cons, he naturally chose the safer direction.
Su Zhao left through the side door. He put on the black cloak and left through the side door.
Shao Pingbo only sent him to the side door and did not send him out. He was afraid that it would attract too much attention.
After seeing Su Zhao disappear with his followers, Shao Sansheng moved to Shao Pingbo's side. "Young Master, are we going back to the Provincial Governor's residence?"
Shao Pingbo turned around and led him back to the study. His gaze fell on the map again and he pointed at South Korea. "We might need to use this waterway. Can you guarantee that there won't be any problems along the waterway?"
Shao Sansheng replied with a serious expression, "Young Master, rest assured. We have already sent people to investigate the matter. There shouldn't be any problems."
"Shouldn't?" Shao Pingbo suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk to me about should. Once the waterway is activated, there must be no mistakes. Once the waterway is seized by South Korea, they will not return it to us. That means the waterway will be exposed and can no longer be used. That will be a huge blow to us. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng replied. "I will send people to check."
Shao Pingbo looked at the map again. "Not only do we need to check, we also need to test it out. Arrange for a batch of ships to make a trip and see if there are any problems."
Shao Sansheng: "I will arrange it right away!"
"You must be careful with the details. There cannot be any mistakes in this!" Shao Pingbo turned around and stared at him. "After this trip, immediately solve any problems you find. You must ensure that the waterway is smooth and that there won't be any problems when it is activated."
"Understood …" Shao Sansheng nodded and said hesitantly, "If I really encounter a problem that needs to be solved, it is best to have the cooperation of cultivators if I want to solve it quickly and not make a big commotion. Can Eldest Young Master send some people from the Great Zen Mountain to me?"
"Fool!" Shao Pingbo scolded, "Why did I hide this from Great Zen Mountain from the start? Great Zen Mountain has been asking me for money, and I have been saying that I am poor. You know that! If Great Zen Mountain finds out about this, they will definitely find out what I want to do. How can I hide it then? "
"Once they know that I have a large sum of money to buy warhorses, how do you want me to explain? If Great Zen Mountain asks me to give the money to them to handle this, can I refuse? This matter can only be resolved after the deed is done and the money has been spent. Only then can we find a good reason to explain and not delay the matter. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves to these vampires! "
"Moreover, there are many people in Great Zen Mountain. Once this spreads within Great Zen Mountain, who can guarantee that the secret won't be leaked? This waterway definitely cannot be exposed! "
"Then …" Shao Sansheng said with difficulty, "The relationship between Shangqing Sect and Niu Youdao is not clear, and it is not convenient. How about we find some suitable people from the smaller sects?"
Shao Pingbo said in a deep voice, "Still the same words, we must be very careful. We cannot let people we don't know get involved. How about this, Song Shu and Chen Guishuo, there won't be any problems. Don't worry and use them. I will let them listen to your orders. "
Shao Sansheng frowned. "Young Master, if there really is a problem, I am afraid I can't handle it with just the two of them! If it really can't be done, ask Young Mistress Su for help! "
Shao Pingbo said in a deep voice, "I have considered this, but the organization behind Sister Zhao is too complicated. Even Sister Zhao doesn't know the depth of it. It is okay to help, but we have to keep an appropriate distance. We can't give them all our trump cards. Therefore, before the matter in Qi Kingdom is completed, they must not know about this waterway. I have also instructed Sister Zhao."
"Small problems can be solved by Song Shu and Chen Guishuo along the way. If we really follow your plan, there won't be any problems. The two of them are enough to handle it. If they really encounter something they can't solve, we can find an excuse to send someone else to solve it. As long as we don't expose the entire line and split it into individual cases, without knowing the other situations, others won't think of what we want to do. "
"Yes, Young Master, don't worry. I know what to do." Shao Sansheng nodded …
As the sun set, the five riders rushed into a relay station and stopped. After changing horses, they rushed out of the relay station and continued to gallop at full speed.
There was a horse carriage charging in front of them. The five riders quickly formed a line and brushed past the horse carriage. Then, they quickly changed their formation and advanced in a row. The expressionless Yuan Gang was the one in the middle.
Yuan Feng, Niu Lin, Yuan Huo, and Niu Shan followed on the left and right.
Yuan Huo shouted, "Brother Gangzi, it's going to be dark soon. We haven't slept for two days and everyone is tired. Let's find a relay station to rest first!"
The people who came out of Little Temple Village had changed. If it was in the past, he would not have said anything about resting at a relay station. The idea of resting at a relay station was something he did not even dare to think about when he was in Little Temple Village.
Yuan Gang looked back and asked, "Is eight hours enough for you to rest?"
Yuan Huo chuckled. "Enough, enough. Eight hours is enough."
Yuan Gang said, "Then we'll rest when it gets dark and we can't see the road anymore. We'll set off tomorrow morning at first light. We'll use the time we have to travel."
"Okay!" Yuan Huo nodded in agreement. However, he asked with some curiosity, "Brother Gangzi, if we travel like this, Daoye will definitely not be able to keep up with us. Is there a need to rush like this?"
Yuan Gang said, "I don't feel at ease with the rest of the people. We need to reach our destination as soon as possible and have enough time to understand and investigate the situation there in case Daoye needs it. We can also make arrangements for our brothers who arrive later. Otherwise, something will definitely happen if we are all gathered in an unfamiliar place."
Hearing him say that, the expressions of the four turned solemn and they immediately had no objections.
Niu Lin also began to criticize Yuan Huo. "Look at that cowardly look of yours. You think this is tiring? We have food and water along the way. Think about the other brothers. They lack money and food. If they want to reach their destination in the given time, they will have to put their lives on the line! "
Niu Shan said, "They will indeed suffer a great deal for running around like this!"
Yuan Gang looked around and said in a deep voice, "Although it's cruel, this is just a training. Let them unleash their full potential. The various hardships along the way are the best training for them, and also the precious wealth that they can obtain for themselves! With this experience and the skills they have been taught, they will be able to directly carry out the mission when they arrive at the destination.
"For each of them, this is also a process of seeing their true nature! Seeing the results and understanding the process is also a way for us to understand them. Only in the future will we know what they are suitable for, and it will be easier for us to assign them missions in the future!
"More than a year of high-intensity training has taught them a lot of skills. As long as there are no major accidents, there should be no problems. If they can't even cope with the journey after learning so many things, then it is better to be eliminated as soon as possible, lest they lose their lives in the future! If there are people who are afraid of hardship and tiredness, or have weak willpower, and give up halfway, then they should be eliminated as soon as possible. Our group cannot tolerate such people! "
The four of them became serious again and said in unison, "Yes!"
Amidst the rumbling sound of horse hooves, undulating mountains appeared in front of them. The road clearly went straight into the mountains. Yuan Gang shouted, "What is the terrain in front?"
Yuan Feng quickly said, "The place is Great Man Mountain! The map shows that the official road is about 15 miles long. The terrain is complicated, and there are narrow and long areas that are convenient for ambushes! "
Yuan Gang waved his hand and wielded his Zhanmadao. He held it diagonally in his hand and kicked the horse's abdomen with his heels, speeding up to the front.
