Suppressing all the thoughts in her mind, Tang Yi said, "The number of times I've met Niu Youdao can be counted on one hand. What I know about him is almost all from the rumors outside …"
Suddenly, she found that Xuan Wei was looking at her with a strange look, which made her a little embarrassed.
Xuan Wei smiled, "Before he came out to help Shang Chaozong, he was under house arrest in the Shangqing Sect for five years. What kind of person was he at that time? Can you tell me a little?"
"In fact, I didn't meet him many times in those five years. I met him about once a year, and the time was not long …" Speaking of this, Tang Yi was a little absent-minded. Yes, why did she treat him like that and ask him to help her?
Xuan Wei was a little speechless and looked at Ximen Qingkong. It seemed that the Shanghai Sect was really 'kind' to Niu Youdao in those years. No wonder Niu Youdao refused to help the Shanghai Sect until Zhao Xiongge showed up and forced Niu Youdao to help the Shanghai Sect.
Xuan Wei asked about the cause and effect of this trip, and Tang Yi did not hide it from her. She specifically said that Zhao Xiongge pressured Niu Youdao … This was also what Niu Youdao told her before she came here.
"House arrest, it's understandable." Xuan Wei smiled to dissolve the awkwardness and asked, "What about Shao Pingbo?"
Tang Yi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Shao Pingbo didn't put the Shanghai Sect in an important position. The Shanghai Sect in Bei Zhou is mostly doing odd jobs and has never been in touch with the core affairs. I actually don't know much about Shao Pingbo."
Xuan Wei looked at her and smiled without saying anything. She sighed in her heart. Such a sect could actually get the help of two disciples who were kicked out of the sect and then come here. She didn't know what kind of luck the Shanghai Sect had accumulated.
Since she didn't know, she didn't ask anymore and changed the topic, "Have you chosen the location?"
"I'm still looking."
"Well, this is a big deal. It's better to be careful. By the way, I heard that the news of the divorce has been released? "
"Yes!" Tang Yi nodded her head. This was also what Niu Youdao had instructed her to do. It was impossible for both of them to know the truth. Niu Youdao had forced her to reveal the truth in exchange.
Xuan Wei nodded. It wasn't that she didn't think she should do this, but she felt that it was a little too rushed.
After Tang Yi left, Xuan Wei paced back and forth for a while and muttered, "Shao Pingbo is very talented. If Weiguo can get this talent, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. In the past, he established himself as a feudal lord, and it was useless to try and recruit him. Now that he is in trouble, it is a good opportunity to recruit him. "
Ximen Qingkong said, "You didn't even understand the situation before recruiting him?"
Xuan Wei said, "We can't delay this matter any longer. If we're late, someone else might get it before us. No matter what the situation is, we can test his attitude first before dealing with him."
Ximen Qingkong: "What if Niu Youdao insists on killing us? Are you going to intervene and stop him? "
Xuan Wei lifted her chin towards the door, hinting at Tang Yi who had just left. "Didn't he just owe me a favor? Since he urgently needs it, we can ask Niu Youdao to return the favor now. Zhao Xiongge should still be keeping an eye on the Shangqing Sect. If he's not afraid of trouble, he can try refusing."
…
In the bamboo forest, Dugu Jing walked briskly towards Yu Cang, who was meditating with his eyes closed. "Shao Pingbo is hiding in the building and refuses to come out. There are people from the three major sects guarding him. We can't get in touch with him."
Yu Cang slowly opened his eyes and snorted. "What do you mean by controlling the situation in Qi Capital? He's just using the opportunity to escape. After using him, he needs to keep his distance. What a cruel and unscrupulous person … This guy is indeed powerful. He managed to slip away even when we were in his grasp. We were played by him with our eyes open! But then again, if he doesn't have some ability, I wouldn't be interested in him. "
Dugu Jing: "I will arrange for someone to get in touch with him."
Yu Cang: "There's no need to beat around the bush. Playing tricks with this kind of person will only get you into trouble. Arrange for someone to write him a letter and directly state your intentions. There's only one answer. Ask him if he's willing or not!"
…
In the Ying King's Residence, Shao Liuer, who looked peaceful and gentle, came to Haozhen's study room.
There was a short couch in the study room. Haozhen was lying on it, reading a book. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that he was lazy.
Shao Liuer sat on the edge of the couch and placed her hands on Haozhen's thighs. She gently massaged them and asked, "Prince, do you have any instructions for me?"
Haozhen's fingers touched the edge of the book. He took out a piece of paper from the pages and handed it over.
Shao Liuer received it with both hands and read it.
She saw the words written on it: Even though I've worked hard in the Northern Prefecture and failed at the last moment, I can't bear to do it. However, since the Prince has spoken, I will naturally stop and repay him. Shao Dengyun, I promise the Prince that I will let him go! However, how much does the Prince know about Shao Pingbo? The Prince might be fond of talents, but I still need to remind him. Shao Pingbo has the heart of a snake and scorpion. He disregarded his former master and was disloyal. He killed his own mother and brother without blinking. He is extremely vicious! This time, in order to escape, he did not tell his father about the danger. He used his father as a cover and escaped alone. He left his father in danger and did not care about him. His heart deserves death! If the Prince uses this disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and disrespectful person, has he ever thought about His Majesty's opinion? I know this person very well. He is vicious and heartless. He is not someone who remembers his master's kindness. He has the heart of a tyrant. This is evident from the independence of the Northern Prefecture. If the Prince accepts him, he will definitely suffer a backlash! He is close to the Prince for his own benefit. In order to help his sister, he must kill the Prince's two sons! Is the Prince worried about the Prince's life? That's all I have to say. I hope the Prince will reconsider. If this is the decision, I will definitely stop and obey. I will not go back on my words. Niu Youdao respectfully bows.
The contents of the letter made Shao Liuer's heart jump.
However, her gaze was fixed on the person who signed the letter. Although she had never seen this person before, she was not unfamiliar with him.
She was present when Lu Shengzhong was captured. She even had a battle of wits and courage with Lu Shengzhong. It could be said that Lu Shengzhong had indirectly died by her hands. That was why she knew that Tan Yaoxian had been used by the people sent by Niu Youdao.
Regardless of whether Tan Yaoxian had been used or not, she was clear about one thing. Tan Yaoxian was not a shrewd person. He was absolutely sincere towards her.
It was easy to find a priceless treasure, but difficult to find a lover.
The scene of Tan Yaoxian crying and leaving to protect her had always pierced her heart. That foolish man. He couldn't even protect himself, yet he still wanted to protect her.
That was why she could not forgive Shao Pingbo for killing her lover. The other person she could not forgive was the main culprit, Niu Youdao.
"This letter was written by that Niu Youdao from the Southern Prefecture, Yan County?" Shao Liuer asked softly.
Haozhen, who seemed to be engrossed in the book, grunted and asked, "What do you think of the evaluation of your brother in the letter?"
Shao Liuer was silent for a while. "The Prince has his own judgment."
Haozhen said, "How can an outsider's words confuse the ears? I would like to hear your opinion."
Shao Liuer replied after some deliberation, "It's true!"
Haozhen's eyelids, which were hidden behind the book, suddenly opened. He shifted the book away and looked at her with a burning gaze. "He is your brother. How can you evaluate him like this?"
Shao Liuer stood up and bowed before replying, "After reading the contents of the letter, I know that the Prince must have pleaded for mercy on behalf of my father and brother. The Prince did this quietly. I am grateful that he is so considerate towards me. If I still have selfish motives, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace. I will not be able to face the Prince. The Prince's actions have made me understand one thing. As long as the Prince is well, he will naturally take care of the Shao Family. My brother is sinister and unfathomable. I am also afraid that he will bring disaster to the Prince. If the Prince's Residence is unstable, how can I survive? I can only be well if the Prince is well. As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. The Prince is the foundation for me to survive. I dare not conceal my brother's character. "Her eyes were filled with tears and her tone was choked with sobs.
I feel sorry for him! Haozhen threw down the book and stood up. He held her face and said emotionally, "I already understand Princess's feelings. I am the one who has put you in a difficult position."
Shao Liuer shook her head slightly.
Haozhen said, "How about this? Since he is your brother, I will not put him in a difficult position. Bring some valuables and give them to him. Let him find a way to survive on his own. As for the future, there is no need to see such a vicious brother. What do you think? "
Shao Liuer nodded with tears streaming down her face. "I will listen to the Prince's arrangements."
Haozhen helped her wipe her tears …
After Shao Liuer left, Mu Jiu, Che Buchi, Gao Jianhou, and Xie Longfei came in one after another to see Haozhen's reaction.
Haozhen lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand. When he first saw the letter, he was also afraid. Not to mention the safety of his two sons, the sentence 'If the Prince uses this disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and disrespectful person, has he ever thought about His Majesty's opinion?' was enough to make him shudder.
If not for Niu Youdao's analysis in the letter, he would not have known that Shao Pingbo used his father as a cover and abandoned his father to escape. Thinking about it, it was entirely possible.
Because of that sentence, he did not dare to use Shao Pingbo anymore.
As for letting Shao Liuer read the letter, it was not because he wanted to hear her opinion, but because he wanted to take the opportunity to see Shao Liuer's standpoint.
"Fortunately, I received Niu Youdao's reply after asking, which made me realize my mistake. Otherwise, I would have made a mistake!" Haozhen looked up to the sky and exhaled.
The people present cupped their hands and bowed together. "We were foolish!"
Haozhen waved the letter in his hand, "Niu Youdao is a man of his word. At least, he promised not to hurt Shao Dengyun after seeing my letter. He spent so much effort to hurt the Shao enterprise. He must have put in a lot of effort to stop. If he can really do that, I will accept this favor. "
…
"Mr. Shao, there is a letter from Young Master Shao."
At the gate of the courtyard, a servant appeared and shouted into the courtyard.
Shao Sansheng heard the voice and came to the door to receive the letter. He saw that the letter was sealed and there was no handwriting on either side. He asked, "Who sent it?"
The servant replied, "I've never seen him before. I don't know who sent it."
Shao Sansheng took out a silver coin from his sleeve and gave it to the servant. The servant smiled and thanked him.
Shao Pingbo also heard the voice and appeared under the eaves. When Shao Sansheng came over, he asked, "Whose letter is it?"
"The envelope is unsigned," Shao Sansheng said as he opened the envelope.
Shao Pingbo closed his eyes and then snorted, "It must have something to do with Waning Moon Pavilion."
Shao Sansheng took out the letter and read it. He looked up speechlessly and then replied, "Young Master Shao has a good foresight. It's really them."
Shao Pingbo opened his eyes and said, "They sent a letter here directly. At this time, it can't be anyone but those shady things. There's nothing strange about it. I'm afraid they are up to no good!"
"They want to recruit Young Master Shao!" Shao Sansheng informed in a low voice. He held the letter in his hand and showed it to Shao Pingbo.
Since he knew that Waning Moon Pavilion was up to no good, he didn't check the letter carefully. He didn't dare to let Shao Pingbo see it directly. He knew that Waning Moon Pavilion had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. An assassination organization was sometimes hard to guard against.
