Inside the embassy of Jin State, it was quiet. Occasionally, there were vigilant guards patrolling back and forth.
Under the old tree, the moonlight was sparse. A lamp shone on an old man who was reading a book. He was Bai Kuanyuan, the ambassador of Jin State in Qi State.
The door was opened, and an old servant came in. He leaned over and whispered, "Sir, he has been safely sent away."
Bai Kuanyuan stared at the book and said, "Nothing unusual happened, right?"
The old servant said, "The report said that everything went well. There should be no more problems."
Bai Kuanyuan relaxed and put down the book. He stroked his beard and leaned back in the chair. He laughed, "Mr. Shao is really powerful. He deserves his reputation. Hmm … Jin Tu's last resort? I'm looking forward to what he can offer to His Majesty. Will it really help me make a contribution? What happened in the Guard Club? "
The old servant said, "It was very dangerous. Bu Fang took people into the Guard Club to catch him. Fortunately, we left in time. If we were late, we would not have been able to leave. No wonder Mr. Shao was in a hurry to leave."
"Bu Fang was alarmed?" Bai Kuanyuan was a little surprised. He pondered for a while and suddenly laughed, "There will be a good show. I'm afraid Kang He will have to put on a show tomorrow."
When Shao Pingbo found him, he couldn't intervene without the permission of the imperial court of Jin State. He couldn't bear the responsibility if something went wrong.
But Shao Pingbo couldn't wait for him to ask for instructions. He said that he wouldn't let him get into any trouble and only needed to arrange for him to be sent away.
Therefore, he easily sent Shao Pingbo away, and the Guard Club wouldn't dare to tell the truth, so they had to swallow it. Tomorrow, they would have to hold back their anger and pretend to ask Emperor Qi for an explanation.
And the Qi State must have believed that it was Weiguo who took Shao Pingbo away. If they wanted to investigate, they would definitely target Weiguo. They could cover Shao Pingbo's safe departure.
The key dispute and trouble were all in the Guard Club. They couldn't find him in the Guard Club.
The one who did it didn't have to do anything and acted as if nothing had happened.
How could he not find it funny that the person who clearly knew that he had messed up still had to brace himself to act and cover for the real culprit?
It was precisely because of this that Bai Kuanyuan couldn't help but sigh at Shao Pingbo. It seemed like a simple method to escape, but it was actually not simple at all.
If he couldn't keep himself out of the matter and move him, he wouldn't agree to Shao Pingbo's request without the approval of the Jin Nation.
When he thought about it carefully, he was amazed by the entire process!
…
The moonlight shone on the vast land. Two giant birds flew rapidly in the night sky.
Shao Sansheng, who was standing on the eagle's back, heaved a sigh of relief as he looked back at the brightly lit capital that had already disappeared from his sight. He turned around to look at Shao Pingbo, who was standing on the other bird. He was truly impressed by this Eldest Young Master once again.
Previously, he was still thinking that it wouldn't be easy for him to leave in a hurry with a group of cultivators watching him. Would the envoy of the Jin Nation who was stationed in the Qi Nation help him?
What he thought was impossible was easily accomplished by the Eldest Young Master. It only took a short conversation for the envoy of the Jin Nation to urgently cooperate with him.
He had listened to the contents and the process of the conversation.
He presented a treasure to the Jin Emperor and requested to mobilize the forces of the Jin Nation to help him escape, but the envoy was vague.
Thus, the Eldest Young Master casually said, "Xuanwei has ordered the envoy to take me away from the Qi Capital to the Wei Nation tonight. Does the envoy want me to join the Wei Nation or the Jin Nation?"
The Jin Nation was surprised and doubtful.
The Eldest Young Master asked the envoy to be a witness. If the envoy doesn't take me away tonight, the Jin Nation can just stand by and watch. If the Jin Nation doesn't take over, I will follow the arrangements of the Wei Nation!
In the end, the Jin Nation mobilized the birds and sorcerers of the Jin Nation to help them successfully escape from the Qi Capital.
Shao Pingbo, who was silently gazing at the stars, looked calm. To him, there was nothing to be happy about. After all, he had been through so many trials and tribulations. If he didn't even have this ability, he wouldn't have lived until today.
Not only was he unhappy, but he also felt humiliated. To him, he was being chased like a stray dog!
He didn't feel happy at all, nor did he feel lucky.
…
In the guest house, Bu Fang personally guarded the courtyard where Shao Pingbo was staying. She mobilized the forces of the cultivators in the city, as well as the Administrator's Office, to wait for news from all sides.
After waiting for more than two hours, there was still no useful news. Niu Youdao knew that there was no point in waiting any longer. With Shao Pingbo's ability, it was unlikely that he would be able to catch him after waiting for so long.
"With Eunuch Bu here, I will take my leave first." Niu Youdao bade farewell. He was ready to go back and think about whether he should go to the Wei Nation to continue the hunt.
Bu Fang, who was tall and sturdy, stood in the courtyard under the moonlight. She slowly turned around and looked at him. "Where are you going?"
Niu Youdao: "Back to the guest house first. You can contact me anytime if you need anything. With the Administrator's Office's ability, I won't be able to escape your eyes."
Bu Fang: "I think it's better not to go back and forth. Let's just stay here."
Niu Youdao understood the hidden meaning in Bu Fang's words. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
Guan Fangyi and Uncle Chen also became vigilant.
Bu Fang added, "It's the Head Chief's idea."
Niu Youdao: "I don't understand the Head Chief's good intentions."
"Stay. The Head Chief will come to see you personally tomorrow morning." Bu Fang left after saying this. Niu Youdao and the others didn't leave, but he did.
Niu Youdao and the others couldn't leave even if they wanted to. There was already a group of cultivators guarding the courtyard. They couldn't leave.
Shao Pingbo had run away from the place where he was staying. Now, the three of them were trapped here.
"What's going on?" Guan Fangyi asked. She was on tenterhooks.
Niu Youdao frowned. He didn't understand what Bu Fang meant. He couldn't figure out why Bu Xun wanted to deal with him.
…
"He ran away?"
In the imperial palace, Hao Yuntu, who had finished reading the memorials, was soaking in the pool. He was about to take a bath and rest when he heard this.
Bu Xun, who was standing beside the pool and reporting the situation, nodded. "Yes, he ran away. We were a step too late."
"He ran away during the banquet? Did someone at the administrative desk leak the news? " Hao Yuntu's gaze was treacherous. His first thought was whether there was a mole on his side. Relatively speaking, whether Shao Pingbo ran away or not was secondary.
Bu Xun: "That can be ruled out. According to the guard who accompanied him, Shao Pingbo should have left the banquet before we made our move. In addition, Guan Wei's actions were obvious. They wanted to help Shao Pingbo escape. Before Guan Wei set up the banquet, Niu Youdao hadn't entered the palace, so there wasn't any leak on our side. "
"Guan Wei wanted to help Shao Pingbo escape …" Hao Yuntu muttered as he sank into deep thought. Wei Guo had taken Shao Pingbo away. Now, he regretted not killing Shao Pingbo. He raised his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Use all your strength to capture him. Once you find him, kill him immediately!"
Previously, it was because it wasn't worth it for Niu Youdao's reputation. But now, he no longer had any misgivings about killing King Ying's brother. Wei Guo's actions had triggered the Emperor's killing intent.
"Yes!" Bu Xun bowed and accepted the order.
…
King Ying's Mansion. Bu Fang brought people to King Ying's Mansion in the middle of the night and woke up King Ying, Hao Zhen, who was already asleep.
Hearing that they had come with his imperial father's edict, Hao Zhen didn't dare to not get up.
When they met, Hao Zhen immediately asked, "Eunuch Bu, what is Imperial Father's edict?"
The tall and sturdy Bu Fang swept her cold gaze over everyone. Slowly, she said, "Why don't I see the King Ying?"
"Tell the King Ying to stop dawdling and come immediately." Hao Zhen immediately urged someone to hurry Shao Liu 'er. She was a woman, so it was more troublesome to dress and tidy up.
Soon, Shao Liu 'er, who hadn't even combed her hair properly, hurried over.
Bu Fang didn't bother them too much. With a wave of her hand, someone behind her carried a small box and presented it to the King and Queen Ying for them to take a look.
Hao Zhen didn't understand and was a little confused.
Shao Liu 'er, on the other hand, was alarmed. Wasn't this the box that she had tidied up to give to her brother? What did it mean to send it in the middle of the night?
The box was opened again, allowing the two to see what was inside.
Seeing the gold and silver notes inside, Shao Liu 'er was even more certain. Her heart tightened. She didn't know what had happened to cause such a scene.
Bu Fang asked, "Prince, King Ying, do you recognize this item?"
Shao Liu 'er replied, "This is a present I gave to my brother, Shao Pingbo, when I went to the guest house outside yesterday."
Hao Zhen immediately reacted. However, she found it strange. After all, he was her brother-in-law. What was wrong with giving him some money? Was it wrong to do so?
Bu Fang said, "His Majesty is asking if you know where Shao Pingbo went. If you know, tell me immediately. Don't hide anything. "
They only knew that Shao Pingbo was in the guest house outside and didn't know anything else.
After a round of questions and answers, Bu Fang took out the letter left by Shao Pingbo and gave it to the King. She then bowed and excused herself. She didn't want to say anything more.
After all the guests from the Imperial Palace had left, Gao Jianhou, who had just returned from making sense of the situation, came to report that Niu Youdao had come to the Qi Capital and entered the Imperial Palace. Later on, he and Bu Fang had gone to capture Shao Pingbo, but they had failed. Shao Pingbo had escaped, and it was the Guard Club who had helped him escape.
Hao Zhen pulled out the letter from the envelope and read it. After reading it, she passed it to a few of her confidants. Finally, it landed in the hands of Shao Liu 'er, who was bewildered.
Seeing the letter, Shao Liu 'er almost broke out in a cold sweat. She was afraid that something would happen and almost didn't admit it. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. She thought that since they had come looking for her with something, they wouldn't speak without thinking.
Eunuch Bu had a letter but didn't take it out first. It was obvious that he wanted to see their attitude. If she didn't admit it just now, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Shao Liu 'er's legs turned to jelly. She was scared. She realized that in the royal family, every step was cautious. Fortune and disaster could be decided by a single thought!
She also understood after reading the letter. Shao Pingbo didn't take her money. He returned it to her and left without saying goodbye!
Hao Zhen was a little confused. Why did Bu Fang go to capture Shao Pingbo personally? After pondering for a while, she wanted to find Niu Youdao. She asked, "Where's Niu Youdao?"
Gao Jianhou replied, "He's under Bu Fang's control in the guest house."
"Under control?" Hao Zhen was stunned and even more confused. She looked at her confidants. In the end, all of them shook their heads. They couldn't understand what was going on.
