Su Zhao looked at him and didn't know what to say.
She could understand if he was forced to kill the mother and son to save his own life. But now, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
She didn't know if it was because she was with An Taiping, but she didn't want to say something.
She couldn't help but ask, "Have you considered Liu 'er's feelings? Are you going to force her to marry you? "
Shao Pingbo said calmly, "I won't force her if she doesn't want to."
"Really?" Su Zhaoming didn't believe him.
Shao Pingbo nodded and didn't want to talk about it. He changed the topic, "You can keep it to yourself, but don't let your superiors know."
Su Zhao asked, "What are you worried about?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Waning Moon Pavilion colluded with the king of the West Courtyard, which means that they have been involved in the internal affairs of the royal family of Qi. I don't want any conflict between Haozhen and Waning Moon Pavilion."
Su Zhao said, "You asked us to assassinate Haozhen's wife and marry my sister to Haozhen. It's hard for them not to think too much. They will ask me later."
Shao Pingbo said, "I have enough reasons to cover it up. I need this marriage to put pressure on Yan and Han. They will understand. Sister Zhao, I don't trust Waning Moon Pavilion, but I trust you. I don't hide anything from you. "He suddenly got up and slowly approached her. They looked at each other.
Su Zhao was used to this and felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to step back, but Shao Pingbo reached out and held her hand.
Su Zhao was a little flustered and wanted to pull her hand back. But then she thought of the instructions from her superiors. She couldn't mess up the Northern State's affairs. At least on the surface, she had to maintain her relationship with Shao Pingbo.
After the incident with An Taiping, she realized that her superiors should have realized that even if Shao Pingbo succeeded in the end, he might not marry her. But her superiors had been turning a blind eye to it.
And Shao Pingbo should have known that Waning Moon Pavilion wanted to use him.
Both sides had their own plans, and she was just a pawn in the middle.
There were many things that she couldn't see when she was in love with Shao Pingbo, or rather, she didn't want to wake up from the dream. But now, many things became clear.
After being together with An Taiping, she actually wanted to leave, but it was no longer up to her. If she dared to act recklessly, not to mention that the higher-ups would not let An Taiping off, just based on the antidote for the Bitter Spirit Pill, An Taiping would not be able to pass.
Just as she was hesitating, Shao Pingbo took advantage of her and opened his arms, pulling her into his embrace.
She was hesitating when Shao Pingbo opened his arms and took her into his arms.
"…" Shao Pingbo was stunned. In the past, she was the one who would take the initiative to hug him, and he would tactfully reject her.
Su Zhao also realized something and awkwardly said, "Ping Bo, this place isn't suitable."
"Shao" to say. Shao "Shao" Shao "Zhao said.
Su Zhao dodged sideways, avoiding him. He went around to the back of a table and said with a smile, "Ping Bo, this is a brothel."
"Shao" to to "'t" what to say. "" to "Shao" about it.
He didn't want to stay here any longer, so they left after a discussion.
Once he got out of the white clouds and boarded the carriage, he pulled off the mask on his face. His face darkened.
In the past, Su Zhao had always wanted to be 'together' with him, but he had his reservations. After the incident with the warhorse, he noticed that Su Zhao was acting strangely. This time, he had come in hopes of completing the 'good deed' with Su Zhao, so that he could continue to tie Su Zhao down. However, Su Zhao had changed, and he began to reject him.
Compared to before, it was very abnormal.
Seeing his expression, Shao Sansheng asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Shao Pingbo raised his hand to stroke his hair and asked, "My hair has turned white. Is it ugly?"
"…" Shao Sansheng was speechless. When did Young Master become so shallow? When he came back to his senses, he said, "How can white hair affect Young Master's demeanor? White hair makes you more elegant. How is it ugly?"
Shao Pingbo was silent for a while and said, "Ask the Great Zen Mountain to investigate a tall and strong man with a red face."
Shao Sansheng was suspicious, "A man with a red face? Young Master, this area is a bit big and this is not our territory. Are there any other clues? "
Shao Pingbo said, "A man with a red face who can enter the backyard of the clouds. This is all I know. But I am sure he won't only go this time. You can send people to watch. "
"Okay." Shao Sansheng nodded to show that he remembered.
But he still had doubts. Combined with Shao Pingbo's question about his hair, he had some suspicions …
Inside the palace, on the dragon boat on the blue lake, Hao Yun Tu leaned against the railing.
Bu Xun Lingbo flew over and landed on the deck. She quickly walked up the stairs and arrived beside the Vast Cloud Diagram. After bowing, she stepped forward and reported, "Shao Pingbo has sneaked into the white clouds."
Hao Yun Tu's eyes were slightly sly. He sneered, "It seems that the assassination of my wife is really related to Waning Moon Pavilion."
Bu Xun asked, "Is the marriage of the King of England …?"
Hao Yun Tu raised his hand and waved. "If the new daughter-in-law is not satisfactory, she can be replaced. Is a prince afraid of not being able to find a wife? But the Northern State cannot fall into chaos. The Northern State needs this marriage to stabilize Shao Pingbo and the Northern State. There is a difference in priorities. We can talk about the future in the future … "
In the inner courtyard of the Tofu House, Yuan Gang was hanging upside down in the courtyard with his upper body naked. Two brothers were beating on him with steel rods.
Yuan Feng quickly entered the inner courtyard and waved to the two brothers, signaling them to leave.
Yuan Gang, whose feet were hooked on the iron rod, curled his legs and hung his whole body up. He flipped in the air and landed on his feet. He stood firmly on the ground and strode into the house. Yuan Feng followed.
The two entered and stood in front of the map. Yuan Feng pointed to a place. "After coming out of the clouds, he went to a courtyard in the west of the city. It's not too far from the palace. I've asked around. He recently rented here. "
"Tell the brothers to keep watch at all the street intersections. Don't make any strange movements and don't expose yourself," Yuan Gang said while staring at the map.
After leaving the clouds, he did not take the boat back to the Tofu House. Instead, he disembarked halfway and pretended to ask about the sale of the street tofu stalls while secretly issuing the task of keeping watch.
Although he did not have many men, he had formed a net in the streets of the capital. It was still useful to keep watch on someone …
A few days later, Yuan Feng hurried back to the backyard of the Tofu House and stood in front of the map with Yuan Gang again.
"The target has set off. He left from the east gate in a carriage. It seems that he is taking the official road. I've already sent brothers to change their clothes and follow him." Yuan Feng pointed at the map.
Yuan Gang said, "The official road? This person is cunning. Have you confirmed that the target has really left? "
Yuan Feng nodded. "Yes, I've sent someone to pretend to be delivering vegetables to verify. The courtyard is empty. Only the servants sent by the landlord are cleaning. Those servants also said that they have just checked out and left. They saw a white-haired young master get into the carriage with their own eyes."
Yuan Gang stared at the map and traced the route with his finger. Finally, he stopped at a mountainous area and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Immediately inform those who have not set up stalls to gather!"
"Yes!" Yuan Feng quickly ran out.
Soon, the group of people from the morning exercise in the Tofu House came back one after another.
When everyone arrived, Yuan Gang had already prepared a pile of packages of the same size. After the packages were distributed, the group of people quickly left.
Outside the courtyard, Yuan Dahu and Gu Younian stopped Yuan Gang. Yuan Dahu asked with a smile, "Boss, are we still going out of the city for riding training today?"
"Yes!" Yuan Gang answered.
The two of them were about to go together when Yuan Gang added, "You don't have to go today."
Looking at Yuan Gang striding away, the two old men were stunned. They looked at each other.
Yuan Gang did not hide it at all. He led hundreds of people all the way out of the city. The passersby did not seem to be surprised.
The group went out of the city and found the horse farm where they usually rented horses for training. They rented hundreds of fine horses and galloped away.
When they reached the depths of the prairie, the bags of hundreds of people were gathered on the bodies of fifty people. The rest of the people were led by Yuan Huo and Niu Shan to continue their training. They were used to deceive others, while Yuan Gang led the fifty people carrying the bags and galloped away.
Along the way, they found the horse farm. Yuan Gang did not hide it at all and openly used the Huyan Clan's name to change horses.
Half a day later, they caught up with one of their brothers who had changed their appearance again on the official road.
"Are they still going along the official road?" Yuan Gang asked.
That brother replied, "Yes, it's not far ahead. Da Yong is still following us. If it weren't for the fact that we are on the official road and it's normal for people to come and go, we really wouldn't dare to continue."
"You guys continue with what you are doing." After Yuan Gang responded, he quickly took out a map and found his position. After checking the route, he quickly put away the map and said to everyone, "They have carriages and can't run fast. We'll take a shortcut and go ahead. Let's go!" He turned his mount around and took the lead to rush down the official road.
Dozens of mounts immediately followed after him.
In the evening, in the mountain forest area, an old man rode alone into the official road in the mountain forest. From time to time, he would let out bird cries as he looked left and right.
"Shh … shh …" A bird's cry suddenly came from the side of the mountain forest.
The old man quickly stopped his mount and found a gentle slope to rush up. He ran all the way to the depths of the mountain and tied his horse before running back.
As he ran to the side of the road and looked left and right, a clump of grass moved and turned over. Yuan Gang, who had grass on his head and mud on his face, appeared and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"
The old man was none other than Da Yong. Da Yong replied, "Fifteen minutes at most."
Yuan Gang tilted his head and gestured, "Get ready!"
Da Yong quickly straightened the grass on the ground and retreated. Someone called out to him from behind. He turned around and saw a jingling bag thrown at him from an unknown place.
He caught it and quickly retreated into the valley. He opened the cloth bag, revealing a pile of scattered items. He quickly put the scattered items together. His movements were practiced, and he quickly assembled them into a set of nine repeating crossbows. Then, he quickly disguised himself.
Just as he said, about fifteen minutes later, dozens of mounts escorted two carriages through the official road into the mountain.
Seeing that the group of people was approaching, Yuan Gang, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly pulled on the rope buried in the ground.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering noise. Flames burst out and the mountain shook. The ground on the official road exploded into the sky and directly tore the two carriages connected in front and back. In an instant, people and horses were thrown off their feet.
