Zi Pingxiu was silent for a long time. Finally, he stroked his beard and said decisively, "The onlookers see more clearly than the players. Good! We'll do as you say. "
The Prime Minister of a country had to leave a way out. This was not a small matter, but a strategic decision.
He could listen to Fang Yan for such a big matter. It was not only a trust in his own people, but also an affirmation of Fang Yan's ability over the years.
Jia Wuqun nodded. His eyes flickered. He dipped his brush in ink and said, "Hui Qingping must die!"
Zi Pingxiu hesitated. "Do you mean that His Majesty still wants to kill Hui Qingping?"
Jia Wuqun nodded his head and wrote down his prediction: The current generation is vicious and merciless. If there is a chance, how can the love between husband and wife be restrained? He will definitely kill her. It is only because I used the matter of 'killing my brother' as a warning, causing him to have some misgivings. In the future, Hui Qingping will definitely commit suicide in the prison, and the cause of her death will naturally have nothing to do with the current generation!
Zi Pingxiu understood what he meant. Wu Gongling wanted to kill Hui Qingping but didn't want to sully himself, so he wanted Hui Qingping to have an accident. Hui Qingping didn't want to live, so killing herself was the best choice. After thinking it through, he sighed. "As long as the current situation is not too bad, no one will care about it in the future. Sir mentioning this matter, could it be that you still wish to protect her? "
He knew that Jia Wuqun wasn't a person who talked nonsense. Ever since his tongue was pulled out by the Misty Pavilion, it was difficult for him to speak and write, so he didn't want to talk nonsense.
Based on years of communication, he suspected that Jia Wuqun had other ideas about Hui Qingping's funeral, so he asked.
Jia Wuqun asked, "If I don't want to protect her, does anyone want to protect her?"
Zi Pingxiu paused and said suspiciously, "Hui Qingping is all alone now. Even His Majesty doesn't want to protect her, so who would want to protect her? The Goddess Cult … She was a traitor of the Goddess Cult. Now that she had ended up like this, they would probably applaud her. It was already good enough that she wasn't killed, so why would they protect her? The three big sects of Song probably don't want other cultivators around His Majesty. Although the Tongxian Pavilion is close to His Majesty, they are in an awkward situation and probably won't get involved in this matter, so there is no need for them to protect her. She didn't have any strong connections with the civil and military officials in the court, nor did she have any interest in them. After the matter was over, she couldn't say that they had to protect her. As for me, I'm already doing my best to save her life. I won't ask for more! As for whether she has any other connections in the cultivation world, I don't know. "
Jia Wuqun picked up his brush and thought, 'She seems to be all alone, but the Prime Minister hasn't finished counting her connections. She still has a sworn brother!'
At the mention of this sworn brother, Zi Pingxiu instantly reacted and blurted out, "Niu Youdao? Mister, are you talking about that Niu Youdao that you've been paying close attention to? "
Jia Wuqun nodded.
Zi Pingxiu didn't quite believe it. "Niu Youdao is now an Elder of Yan's Purple Golden Cave. His position is high and his influence is indeed extraordinary. However, his swearing of brotherhood with Hui Qingping was a little hasty. Was it worth it to say that he would protect Hui Qingping and expend too much energy for her? The matter between the two countries is not something he can protect just because he says so. "
Jia Wuqun put down his brush and thought, 'Behind the world's storms, it's still the cultivators who control them. All living beings are just pawns. Niu Youdao is an extraordinary person. He has a lot of power in his hands, and he has great ability. He wants peace, but the wind doesn't stop. How can he stay under someone for long? If the storm rises and the people in the storm are counted, this person will definitely not be absent! Shao Pingbo is an outstanding talent of his generation. He's the leader of the Northern Province, but he doesn't know the time. He went to Jin to be mediocre, but it was all in vain. The Prime Minister should take this as a warning!
He pointed at his mouth with his brush, hinting that his tongue was lost because he provoked that group of cultivators.
"It seems that Mister has really put in a lot of effort to ponder over this Niu Youdao." Zi Pingxiu sighed as if he understood something, but his face was still uncertain. "Mister, do you mean to be on good terms with this person?"
Jia Wuqun thought, 'As the Prime Minister, if there are any signs of befriending someone, the Song Nation will not tolerate it. You will definitely suffer a calamity, but you can still form good karma!'
Zi Pingxiu hesitated. "Hui Qingping? Mister, are you sure that he will protect Hui Qingping? "
Jia Wuqun shook his head, indicating that he could not guarantee it. However, he raised his brush and mentioned something to Zi Pingxiu: During the war of Zhao, at the Horn Lake, he risked his life to save the prince. He was a person who sacrificed himself for justice! The Shang Family gathered their army to fight against the three Yan sects, and returned the favor with loyalty!
Zi Pingxiu thought for a while and said, "Mister, are you saying that Niu Youdao will take action because of his relationship with Hui Qingping?"
Jia Wuqun thought, 'Just to test his character again, and to consider the Zi Mansion's path of retreat. If he is really a righteous person, we can prepare for the future. If there are any mishaps in the future, it is better to rely on a righteous person than a heartless person.'
Zi Pingxiu sighed in his heart. This person really does not care about the ways of a ruler. First, he asked Zi Pingxiu to overthrow Mu Zhuozhen. Now, he wants Zi Pingxiu to prepare another path of retreat. Other than ensuring the Zi Mansion's safety, he does not care about anything else.
Zi Pingxiu stroked his beard and said, "Mister's words are reasonable, but I really cannot save Hui Qingping for him."
Jia Wuqun: There is no need for the Prime Minister to do anything, just a letter to remind him.
Zi Pingxiu hesitated. "If I leave a letter to him, won't he have something to use against me?"
Jia Wuqun: No name, no background, just a reminder. The Prime Minister only needs to remember the contents of the letter and verify it in the future. If he values his friendship and protects Hui Qingping, the Prime Minister will be able to form a good relationship with him. If a storm was imminent, it meant that lightning was about to strike. There was nothing wrong with planning for an escape route.
"Oh!" Zi Pingxiu nodded and understood. If this is the case, then he really does not need to take any risks and can give it a try. He stood up and said, "I will remember Mister's words. If there is nothing else, I will make the arrangements now."
Jia Wuqun shook his head, indicating that there is nothing else.
Before leaving, Zi Pingxiu said, "Oh yes, Mister likes river prawns. I have specially asked the housekeeper to find some fresh ones. I will send them to you later."
Jia Wuqun smiled bitterly and wrote a few more words: 'Tongueless, tasteless!'
"Sigh!" Zi Pingxiu sighed regretfully. He knew that he could no longer taste food and had lost the taste of life. How could a tasteless life care about a ruler and his subjects?
…
The Saint Land, as its name suggests, was a wonderful place. Coupled with the fact that it was sparsely populated, there were few traces of human modification.
The Daluo Sacred Land, the residence of one of the Nine Great Masters, Luo Qiu, was like a land of immortals.
In a pavilion on a high cliff, Sha Rulai leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. From time to time, he would glance at the people coming and going at the foot of the mountain.
A beautiful woman with a light veil walked from the corridor at the end of the pavilion and stood beside Sha Rulai. She was Luo Qiu's daughter, Luo Fangfei.
Luo Qiu's early years were rough and he did not want to have a burden. After gaining his status, he seemed to have lost interest in childbirth and was more interested in pursuing the Dao. Later on, for unknown reasons, Luo Qiu let a woman give birth to this daughter. It was said that the woman was extraordinarily beautiful. It was said that the woman was later killed by Luo Qiu.
Luo Qiu only had this one daughter. She had never heard of the legend of her father killing her mother. Some things might be known by everyone except her.
Luo Fangfei was also Sha Rulai's current wife, the stepmother of Sha Huanli, the City Lord of Star picking City.
After Sha Rulai's wife disappeared, he married Luo Fangfei. To a certain extent, the two of them had not been together for too long. Sha Huanli also benefited from this and became Luo Qiu's maternal granddaughter.
Actually, even if she did not benefit from this, Sha Huanli would not be too sad. After all, her father was the disciple of Luo Qiu, one of the Nine Great Supremes.
Sha Huanli also did not seem to have any interest in Daluo Sacred Land. After leaving, she rarely returned and stayed in Star picking City.
As Luo Qiu's daughter, she was able to marry Sha Rulai, who was married twice. It was obvious that she liked Sha Rulai. It was obvious from the way she looked at Sha Rulai. Her starry eyes were filled with affection. She asked, "Senior Martial Brother, what are you looking at?"
Sha Rulai was not too outstanding, but it was hard to explain the relationship between people. Many people could not understand why Luo Fangfei liked Sha Rulai.
"I'm not looking at anything." Sha Rulai slightly raised his chin at the people coming and going at the foot of the mountain. "There seems to be more people coming in and out suddenly."
Luo Fangfei said, "Because of the experience of the Saint Realm. After all, this is a place where no one dares to be careless. The names reported by the sects are being checked again. Senior Martial Brother, have you finished handing over the things in Celestial Capital Peak? "
Misty Pavilion took turns to be in charge. The term of Daluo Sacred Land's management of Misty Pavilion had passed, so it was replaced by another Supreme Martial Artist.
Sha Rulai nodded. Speaking of the names reported by Celestial Capital Peak and other sects, he seemed to think of something and asked, "This is under your management, right? Who are the three people reported by Yan Zijin Cave?"
Luo Fangfei hesitated. "I really didn't take it to heart." Although she was in charge, some things were naturally done by her subordinates. She would not remember so many names by herself. She was a little puzzled. "Senior Martial Brother, why do you care about Zijin Cave?"
Sha Rulai said, "I thought of someone I paid attention to before. It's a little interesting. I heard that he sought refuge with Zijin Cave. A person who joined Zijin Cave halfway. I don't know if he will be squeezed by Zijin Cave. If he comes, I would like to take this opportunity to have a closer look. "
Luo Fangfei was interested to know that her senior martial brother paid attention to her. "Which person?"
Sha Rulai said, "You are always in the Saint Realm, so you may not have heard of him. His name is Niu Youdao!"
Luo Fangfei smiled. "How could I not have heard of the person who was forced to take the first place by you in Celestial Capital Mystery Realm? I heard that he even painted a portrait of Huan Li in his early years …"
The first sentence was okay, but the last sentence made Sha Rulai suddenly turn around and stare at her coldly. Slowly, he said, "Are you monitoring Huan Li?"
Luo Fangfei knew that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly explained, "Senior Martial Brother, don't get me wrong. I just care about Huan Li. I don't mean anything else."
She didn't know whether Sha Rulai heard her or not. He turned around and left expressionlessly.
Luo Fangfei watched him leave with a complicated look.
Feelings were complicated. Even if her father was Luo Qiu, it was impossible for him to force the relationship between the two of them.
After coming back to her senses, she turned around and leaned on the railing. She looked at the people at the foot of the mountain. Thinking of what her senior martial brother had said, Luo Fangfei suddenly flew down and landed in the attic of the office. She walked in and asked the manager, "Give me the name list of the Saint Realm trainees."
Naturally, the name list was respectfully handed to her.
She found the three names reported by Zijin Cave and looked at them. Then, she threw the name list back on the table. "Niu Youdao of Zijin Cave, add him!"
"This …" The manager didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Pavilion Master, we can't do this. The rule is that each family should send three people. If we add one more, it will become four. We can't explain it!"
Luo Fangfei, who was not in front of her senior martial brother, said with a cold face, "Don't you know how to be flexible? Cross off one and replace it with Niu Youdao. "
The manager said, "Pavilion Master, as far as I know, Niu Youdao is an elder of Zijin Cave. Is it appropriate to add him? What's more, we have to inform the other eight families to change the name list. I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome. "
Luo Fangfei said, "Aren't the people who can become elders the elite disciples of the sect according to the rules? There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just do as I say. You don't need to explain anything. I will do it myself. If Zijin Cave has any objections, tell them to come to me. "
"Yes!" The manager had no choice but to agree. He thought, "It would be strange if Zijin Cave dared to come to you."
