Chapter 563 Red Boy
Of course, being able to hold this important position has more to do with his father.
His father, Gao Jiancheng, is the Grand Situ of the State of Yan. His position is equivalent to the deputy of Grand Sikong Tongmo, and he has his own exclusive sphere of authority. Si Nong came out and became the envoy of Yan State in Zhao State. It is conceivable that he has power in the Yan State court, and being familiar with Zhao State is just an excuse for operation.
And the old man who accompanied Gao Shaoming was also Quan Qiao, his housekeeper when he was lurking in the Zhao country. Now he is named Guo Ping, and his real name has been restored, so he can be considered to be in Gao Shaoming's honor.
Soon an eunuch came out to lead the courtyard, the other entourage did not go in, Gao Shaoming only brought Guo Ping inside.
The two waited in the main hall for a while before Zhao Sen arrived without haste.
The two parties greeted each other and sat down. Zhao Sen said, "The high envoy is here to see me at this time, but what is your order?"
Gao Shaoming: "I don't dare to obey the order, I want to ask, did the government order get any orders from Emperor Zhao?"
Zhao Sen's heart moved slightly, without any emotion on his face, he asked, "Will? What purpose?"
Since he said so, Gao Shaoming didn't care whether the other party knew or not.
In fact, he just found out about Shang Jianxiong and Hai Wuji's secret agreement. He didn't even tell him about the Yan Kingdom's court before, but he came here and sent Yan the news that Niu Youdao had come to Jinzhou. Beijing, I only knew about it after I got my father's suggestion and the imperial court's instruction.
Gao Shaoming changed the subject, "Niu Youdao came to Jinzhou."
Zhao Sen: "I heard."
Gao Shaoming: "To tell you the truth, I just received news from Yanjing. This time, I can't let Niu Youdao leave Jinzhou alive again."
What happened back then, his brothers suffered heavy losses, but he escaped safely, and was a little unable to face those people, so he has always been brooding about the failure to return back then. He didn't expect to fight Niu Youdao again this time. Wanting to avenge his hatred, this opportunity was presented to him, and he didn't want to miss it.
Zhao Sen understood Yanjing's thinking. For Yanjing, Niu Youdao was an obstacle in Nanzhou. If he wanted to attack Nanzhou, he had to get rid of this hidden danger.
However, he still reminded: "Do you want to do something in this prefecture? I advise you to think twice. The power of Wandong Tianfu here should not be underestimated. It is not so easy to succeed. Once it is revealed, you dare not kill you as Jinzhou." ?”
Gao Shaoming: "Of course I won't do anything in this prefectural city. Yanjing has already dispatched a group of people, so you don't need to bother with the government order. However, Jinzhou in this city has laid out a lot of eyeliner, and Yanguo is here. The power is weak, and it is not suitable for my people to follow me here. I heard that Niu Youdao also has a bird mount. I believe that your country's "star observatory" will not be weak here, so I beg the government order to help me Help me keep an eye on Niu Youdao and don't let him run away."
Zhao Guo's so-called star observation platform is similar to Yan Guo's intelligence department...
In another courtyard of Liufang Pavilion, a golden wing landed from the night.
Later, Liu Dezheng, deputy envoy of Jin State, walked quickly to a bedroom where envoy Chu Xiangyu was soaking his feet.
The deputy envoy entered, screened the subordinates back, handed a secret letter to Chu Xiangyu, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty expressly stated that if there is a chance, let us wait for the opportunity to get rid of Niu Youdao."
Chu Xiangyu frowned slightly, he did not expect to get such a reply after hearing the news that Niu Youdao was here and back to Jin.
After receiving the letter, I checked it, and sighed softly after reading it: "This is to stand up for that young master Shao. It seems that His Majesty really values that Shao Pingbo. Brother Dezheng, what do you think of this matter?"
Deputy envoy Liu Dezheng thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty also said that if there is an opportunity, the word 'waiting for an opportunity' will be at the bottom. If you really can't find an opportunity, from my humble position, you don't have to force it, so as not to delay it." Our business. Of course, since it is His Majesty's will, we still have to try our best to find opportunities."
Chu Xiangyu nodded, "Brother Dezheng has a good opinion, let you handle this matter."
...
In Nanzhou, a black jade carving was wandering among the mountains. Chao Shenghuai, who was riding on it, took out two gold tickets, each with a face value of a hundred gold, and presented them to two Wanshoumen disciples, "Thank you, two senior brothers , a little heart, I hope you don't feel disgusted."
The two declined immediately, but finally accepted the kindness. One of the senior brothers warned: "Being alone, be more careful. If you have anything to do, contact the master in time, and go back early when you are almost there."
"Yes, I've made a note. Two senior brothers, let's take my leave." Chao Shenghuai cupped his hands.
"Take care all the way." The two senior brothers bowed their hands in return.
Chao Shenghuai turned around, flew away, and glided to the depths of the vast night.
After flying out of the forest, he flew along the official road, found a post station along the way, got a horse, and galloped all the way.
He came here to go to Qingshan County to find Niu Youdao, so he did not hesitate to find an excuse to go out for a trip, and took the bird mount that Wanshoumen went out to do errands.
If Niu Youdao didn't give him a definite answer about those four fellow students, he would have trouble sleeping and eating, and would be in constant panic all day long.
The sun was shining and the sky was clear, and it was difficult to dispel the invisible haze that shrouded the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion.
Niu Youdao was calm and calm, meditating indoors.
Guan Fangyi knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that he could cultivate with peace of mind at this time, she admired his character. If the knife didn't hit this man's neck, this man would always do what he should do in an orderly manner.
She has been with Niu Youdao for so long, whether at home or away, as long as she has time, she finds that Niu Youdao has never relaxed about his cultivation. She clearly knows that he has a lot of things to do, but it seems quite leisurely.
"What's the matter?" Niu Youdao asked with his eyes closed.
Guan Fangyi: "There is news from over there. According to the symptoms and the possible course of poisoning provided here, it is estimated that they have been poisoned by 'Red Boy'."
Journey to the West? Niu Youdao opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, felt a sense of confusion for a moment, came back to his senses and asked: "Since we know what the poison is, is there a way to cure it?"
Guan Fangyi shook her head: "It is said that this poison is different from ordinary poisons. It is said that it is a strange poison that grows naturally. It can only be bred and grown in poisonous miasma swamps with special conditions. It looks like ginseng and is dark red all over. Before the thing has spirituality, it is a great tonic. It has no such toxicity. It has this toxicity only after it has spirituality and becomes refined. It can turn into a red and tender child playing in the swamp. Those who see it don't know how to get close to it. Once it is caught If he is scratched, he will surely die, hence the nickname 'Red Boy'."
"Later, some people caught and hunted it according to its toxicity, and used it to make poison. There was a precedent that concubines in the palace used this thing to murder their opponents and compete for favor. It is rarely used by outsiders, and it is difficult to find. That's why poison meets blood. It will produce a very poisonous effect, and it is useless to normal people, unless the other party is already injured. And women have menstruation, and this thing can be used to take advantage of it, so this thing is usually targeted at women. Things are very rare, over there I’ve only heard of it, but I haven’t seen it, so I can’t do anything about it.”
"Powerless?" Niu Youdao tilted his head, and snorted coldly, "Sure enough, he is used to assassination. You can tell what it is by hearing the symptoms. Remember to be careful in the future, there may be something like this in your hand."
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "How can I see that?"
Niu Youdao: "If you've only heard about it, haven't seen it, and haven't even tried it, how do they know that they can't do anything? Let me see, they either don't want to save it, or they have this thing in their hands and know that they can't do anything." It can’t be saved even if it comes. They won’t spoil my affairs at this time, and the latter is more likely.”
Guan Fangyi was thoughtful.
Niu Youdao didn't bother with this matter, he got up decisively, grabbed the sword in his hand, went out, and went directly to Situ Yao.
"Red boy?"
Situ Yao was a little puzzled when he heard about it.
Niu Youdao nodded: "Maybe he has been poisoned, Master Situ thinks about it, who can cure this poison?"
Situ Yao immediately asked people to recruit colleagues who are good at healing, and asked everyone if they had heard of this thing, but they all shook their heads there, they had never heard of it, and they still couldn't do it.
Niu Youdao's hopes for Xiaoyue Pavilion were shattered.
Seeing no solution, Situ Yao pushed the others away, leaving Niu Youdao alone, and told him in a low voice, "I'm afraid they will leave early, and we have made preparations as soon as possible. Two days later, we will arrange an event at Liufang Hall." Banquet, an invitation has been sent."
Niu Youdao understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, and knew that this side was going to start in two days, so he nodded: "Okay!"
After leaving here, not long after returning to her room, Guan Fangyi came to tell her again, "There is news from home that Chao Shenghuai has been looking for her."
Niu Youdao, who was wandering around in the house thinking about it, stopped, "Bring people here secretly."
Guan Fangyi reminded: "Chao Shenghuai just said that he left a will at Wanshoumen. Once he can't go back, everything you did will be exposed."
Also threatened! Niu Youdao chuckled: "If you can go back, let him go back properly, just send him here."
Guan Fangyi: "There is one more thing, you can read this for yourself." A secret letter was handed to him.
Niu Youdao shook his hand and saw that it was the news from Dachan Mountain. Ga Miaoshui from Yanting University had already gone to Dachan Mountain in person, and asked Dachan Mountain to cooperate with Yanting to rectify Nanzhou, using threats and lures.
Huang Lie made it clear to this side that he neither agreed nor refused, and perfunctorily left Ga Miaoshui.
The message came to tell Niu Youdao that Yan Ting seemed to be really going to attack Nanzhou, and asked Niu Youdao how he planned to deal with it.
Guan Fangyi reminded: "Dachan Mountain is waiting and watching."
Niu Youdao shook his hand, lit the letter paper, stared at the fire light and said casually: "It's human nature, if we can't deal with it here, Da Chan Mountain will not accompany you to death. It's not surprising to see the wind. They didn't agree to it. It’s already pretty good if there’s no trouble in Nanzhou.”
Guan Fangyi: "How about Huang Lie?"
"No return!"
"No return?"
"It's enough to say it once, why don't you coax him like a three-year-old? As long as I don't die, Huang Lie won't dare to act rashly!"
Guan Fangyi glanced at him up and down, clicked his tongue twice, and suddenly felt domineering leaking out.
PS: Recently, I keep seeing people asking me to draw a map of the Seven Kingdoms. Well, I will show it on the VX public account later. Don’t think my drawing is ugly.
