Even though Yuan Gang had already made this judgment, he was still quite shocked after hearing the other party's confirmation. It was said that this person was the older sister of the State of Wei's Emperor, and the State of Wei's Emperor was famous for not doing proper work. It was rumored that the true power of the State of Wei was in the hands of this woman.
Yuan Gang didn't know if the rumor was true, but there must be a reason for it. The fact that the eldest princess could become the Prime Minister of a country was proof.
He was surprised that such a person would meet him under such circumstances.
Yuan Gang asked, "Why would the Prime Minister of Wei Kingdom appear in a place like this?"
Xuan Wei could understand the meaning behind his words. When a Prime Minister of a country travels, there should be a large number of people by his side to protect him. She smiled and replied, "I just paid a visit to the Pavilion Master of the Boundless Pavilion, Lan Ming. I crossed the border of another country to come here, so it's not good for me to make a scene." She then raised her hand to introduce the man beside her. "This is my friend, Ximen Qing Kong."
She seemed to be saying that this person's protection was enough.
Yuan Gang stared at the man, "You are Ximen Qingkong, the number one expert on the Alchemy List?"
He might not remember the hundreds of people on the Alchemy List, but he definitely remembered the name of the number one.
Ximen Qingkong said calmly, "Some things are better to just listen to. Don't take it seriously. I don't dare to claim to be number one, and I don't have the strength to claim to be number one. The hat of praise is worn by others, and the ranking of the Pill List is not up to me.
Yuan Gang said, "Thank you for your help."
Ximen Qingkong said, "You don't have to thank me. I didn't help you much."
Yuan Gang wasn't a polite person. He didn't say anything when he was told not to thank him.
Xuan Wei couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yuan, why is the Three Howling Blade in your hands? Why are people from the Waning Moon Pavilion chasing you?"
Yuan Gang said, "It's a long story!"
Xuan Wei didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't press him any further. She changed the topic, "Brother Yuan, can you control sand scorpions?"
Yuan Gang said, "I can't control them. I found it by accident when I was running for my life."
The man and woman looked at each other, both thinking that Yuan Gang didn't want to tell them the secret. It wasn't good to ask.
Xuan Wei changed the topic, "Where are you going, Brother Yuan Gang?"
"To where?" Yuan Gang was at a loss. He didn't know where to go now that Su Zhao was dead. He said to himself, "Back to Green Mountain County!"
He wasn't an arrogant person. After going through this storm and hitting a wall, he realized that he didn't have the ability to handle complicated situations. Even Shao Pingbo, whom he looked down upon and thought of as a so-called commoner, could still live well. How could he, who had the experience of another life, not be able to do the same? Now that he had calmed down and thought about it, he realized that his ability was no match for theirs.
When he was by Daoye's side, there were many things that seemed to be the case. But in fact, it was not the case. That was because Daoye had straightened things out and asked him to do it.
According to the bearded man, if the Taoist master had not left a way out for him and the bearded man had tried to kill him, he would not have been able to live until now.
Previously, he had asked Yuan Feng and the rest to return to Qingshan County.
Xuan Wei's eyes lit up when she heard the uncertainty in his voice. She immediately invited him, "Brother Yuan, would you like to follow me to Wei Country?"
…
Fu Fang Garden. Yu Cang stood under the bamboo forest, listening to Dugu Jing's report.
"Scorpion King saved them?" Yu Cang turned around and asked suspiciously after hearing the report.
Dugu Jing said, "Disciple also suspected that it was an excuse to shirk responsibility. But Elder Bai said that he had witnesses. He met Ximen Qingkong and Xuan Wei who were passing by, and they saw it too. He said that they could be witnesses, and we can ask around to verify it."
Yu Cang was surprised, "Xuan Wei went to that desert?"
Dugu Jing said, "Only Ximen Qingkong and Xuan Wei were riding on a bird. Elder Bai suspects that they went to visit Lan Ming from Boundless Pavilion."
Yu Cang raised his hand and stroked his beard. He nodded slightly as he pondered. "That's a possibility. With Xuanwei's identity, that's the only possibility. There's no need for her to personally go there." He then asked, "In other words, Elder Bai didn't kill Su Zhao?"
Dugu Jing said, "I don't know if he's dead or alive, but Elder Bai is sure that Su Zhao is heavily injured."
Yu Cang said, "He has to take responsibility for what he said. I don't care what method he uses, he must confirm whether Su Zhao is dead or alive."
Dugu Jing said, "Yes, disciple understands. This is the bottom line. Even at the cost, traitors must be eradicated. We must not let them go!"
Yu Cang said, "And that Yuan Gang, we must keep an eye on him. He can actually summon a sand scorpion army and control the Scorpion King. We really underestimated him. I didn't expect him to be an extraordinary person. No wonder he is valued by Niu Youdao! This kind of person, if possible, might as well poach him from Niu Youdao. Didn't he take the Bitter Divine Pill? No matter what, the more talents the better. "
Dugu Jing nodded, "Okay!"
"Sigh, it's a pity for the blind man. We lost a treasure. It makes my heart ache!" Yu Cang sighed.
For the Waning Moon Pavilion, the blind man's gifted ability was a deterrent to those who harbored evil intentions. He could make people not dare to betray the Waning Moon Pavilion easily. Otherwise, they could be found no matter where they hid. It was a great loss to lose a talent like the blind man.
However, no one could avoid accidents when it came to fighting and killing. It was a pity.
…
A group of people stopped outside the Bei Province Provincial Governor's Manor. Shao Pingbo got out of the carriage and stood on the shaft to look around. He looked up at the plaque of the Provincial Governor's Manor before getting out of the carriage.
He had finally returned safely and appeared in public again.
He had just returned to his own house, and before he could wash off the dust, the Provincial Governor's Manor's housekeeper, Yang Shuang, had heard the news.
Shao Sansheng bowed respectfully to Yang Shuang. Although Bei Province's power was secretly controlled by Shao Pingbo, Yang Shuang was the official housekeeper of the Provincial Governor's Manor. Shao Sansheng had been trained by Yang Shuang in the early years and was later taken over by Shao Pingbo.
"Uncle Yang, why did you rush here?" Shao Pingbo asked.
Yang Shuang cupped his hands and said, "Eldest Young Master, Master invites you."
Shao Pingbo said, "I'm covered in dust, it's rude to see my father. I'll go visit him after I take a bath."
Yang Shuang said, "Master wants Eldest Young Master to go immediately."
Shao Pingbo was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and left with him.
The inner house was quiet and secluded. There was a waterside pavilion in the shade of the trees. Shao Dengyun leaned against the railing with his hands behind his back, watching the fish in the pond play.
Yang Shuang came to the side and reported, "Master, Eldest Young Master is here."
Shao Pingbo also went forward and bowed. "Father! Your son is unfilial and has troubled you. "
"Is filial or not important to you?" Shao Dengyun asked with his back to Shao Pingbo. Shao Pingbo's face twitched. Shao Dengyun asked again, "Has the matter of the warhorses been settled?"
Shao Pingbo said, "If there are no accidents, they should reach the Bei Province within two months. There shouldn't be any accidents. Your son has already made meticulous arrangements. With Zhao Huang and Hai Wuji's cooperation, there shouldn't be any problems unless a large faction attacks us. "
"You're really capable of turning the clouds and rain at your beck and call! I, Shao Dengyun, am inferior to you! "Shao Dengyun looked up at the sky and sighed.
Shao Pingbo hurriedly said humbly, "Father, you praise me too much. You are the true pillar of the Bei Province. Without you, I'm afraid …" Shao Dengyun suddenly turned to look at him with anger in his eyes. Shao Pingbo choked on his words.
The father and son stared at each other.
Shao Dengyun said angrily, "What's with Liu 'er getting married? As a father, why didn't I know? My daughter's marriage is an important matter. Since when is it up to you to make decisions while I'm still here? You won't let go of the mother and son, but will you not let go of your own sister? Will you think that I'm a hindrance and won't let go of me? "
Now, not everyone in the world knew that King Ying of Qi had remarried, but the vassal states had definitely paid attention to it. Such a big matter naturally couldn't be hidden from Shao Dengyun.
Shao Pingbo knew that he would have to face it when he came back. He said calmly, "Father, you're being too serious. As her brother, I won't treat Liu 'er's marriage lightly. I'm definitely thinking for her sake."
Shao Dengyun waved his hand. "Don't say such hypocritical words to me. Let me ask you, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Hypocritical words? Shao Pingbo's heart was in turmoil, but he maintained his calmness. Slowly, he said, "I didn't tell you because I knew you would object. You are a general and don't like marriage. You won't use your daughter for marriage."
Shao Dengyun shouted angrily, "Do you think I would agree now?"
Shao Pingbo was silent. His father didn't have the right to refuse now. After a series of actions, the benefits could be seen. Great Zen Mountain had already agreed.
Before he made this decision, he was prepared to face his father's anger. In the end, he knew that his father would be able to think it through. Now that things had reached such a stage, and it concerned the lives of his father's subordinates, his father had no choice but to agree.
"I ask you, tell me honestly, did you kill Princess Ying?" Shao Dengyun almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Yang Shuang saw the father and son like this and felt sad. He didn't understand how a good family would end up like this.
Shao Pingbo said calmly and honestly, "Yes!"
Shao Dengyun said sorrowfully, "Do you think everyone in the world is an idiot? I can see it, but can't others see it? You are pushing your sister into the fire pit! "
Shao Pingbo said with a pained expression, "Father, please believe your son. I will harm anyone but you and my sister."
Shao Dengyun said, "You can even kill your stepmother and brother, how can I believe you?"
Shao Pingbo suddenly said loudly, "Lady Ruan is not my mother, and those two are not my brother. They are your family, not mine! You've seen it with your own eyes. They've already put a knife to my neck. If they don't die, I'll die. Liu 'er will die by their hands sooner or later. Do you care about whether or not they care about our survival? Do you think that the lives of their family are more important than the lives of my brother and sister? Tell me, cough cough, tell me, am I right? "His eyes were red and his emotions were agitated. He covered his mouth and coughed.
The scolding came from the bottom of his heart. Shao Dengyun felt as though he was struck by lightning. He took a step back and leaned against the railing.
Shao Pingbo let go of his hand. He coughed out blood and panted heavily.
