The two of them also knew that there might be danger, but they didn't expect it to be so dangerous, and before they arrived in Qi Country, they were chased and killed by masters!

Whether the two of them felt guilty in their hearts or not, whether Niu Youdao's trip could be successful or not, there was a lot of haze in their hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fei Changliu explained: "County Lord, the plan is arranged by Niu Youdao himself, and the disciples of the three factions are also at his disposal. According to his arrangement, the disciples of the three factions had no chance to stop it. After that, he and Zhuo Chao went into the underground struggle, and even if the disciples of the three factions wanted to help him, they couldn't do anything, and they didn't have the ability of the two of them to escape. When the two of them came out of the ground, the disciples of the three sects immediately took action, and the two Jindan disciples died because of this, how can it be said that they let it be inaction?"

"County Lord!" Lan Ruoting reminded and stopped Shang Shuqing from going on, because the matter had already happened and had already passed, and there was no point in dwelling on this again, it was not appropriate to accuse the three factions like this, and the losses of the three factions on the Qi side for the sake of the war horses here seemed to be not small.

Bai Yao spoke up again, "Master Fei, you said that Niu Youdao and Na Zhuo Chao are general, and they both have the ability to escape?"

Fei Changliu was silent for a moment, and bowed his head slightly, "Niu Youdao escaped into the ground first, and Zhuo Chao chased and killed ......."

The sun is scorching, the river is dry, and the ant-like crowd is busy between the two mountains next to the river, digging or picking.

A group of people stood on the embankment, and two local officials pulled the map in front of Shao Pingbo and explained the terrain against it.

An old man carrying a load of dirt slowly came ashore, his feet suddenly slipped, and he fell on the diagonal cloak that came ashore.

This movement caused Shao Pingbo, who was staring at the map, to look up, and then looked up at the parasol overhead, Huo Ran turned around, waved his hand, and directly knocked the parasol in the official's hand to the ground, and said coldly: "The people are working hard under the scorching sun, what are you trying to pretend to be an umbrella here, how do the people look at me?"

The official with the umbrella was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again: "The eldest son, it's the villain who is confused, it's the villain who is confused!"

Shao Pingbo turned his head to look at the porter who fell down and got up, and asked coldly, "Why did he fall?"

The official on the side said carefully: "It should be old, and the legs and feet are not good!"

Shao Pingbo stared at him coldly, "Are you sure that someone is not deducting rations and making the laborers hungry and weak?"

The official hurriedly explained: "There is no such thing, under the strict order of the eldest prince, even if he has ten thousand courages, he will not dare to relax his supervision!"

Shao Pingbo: "I still say the same thing, people are on the ground, people can't keep their territory if they lose their territory, and talent is the greatest wealth of my Beizhou! I also know everyone's difficulties, but these laborers are doing manual work, if they can't eat enough, how can they work? I don't ask you to let them eat dry meals at once, but three meals a day, two thin meals, and one dry meal are the lowest bottom line, if someone colludes with rich households to withhold food supplies, if someone starves to death, this canal is the place where his whole family is buried! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" the official raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Don't worry, the eldest prince will do everything according to the eldest prince's orders." ”

Shao Pingbo waved his hand between the two mountains excavated, "Before the rainy season comes, the diversion node of the canal here must be opened, otherwise the river will rise and the construction will not be possible, and the construction period will be delayed for another year." The irrigation of the plains behind the mountains is all counted on here, affecting the harvest of a large area for a whole year, affecting the rations of many people, and then affecting the settlement of a large number of people, you have a great responsibility!"

The official said: "Don't worry, the next official will get through before the rainy season comes!"

Shao Pingbo squinted coldly, "It's useless to say that you are obedient, how can you guarantee it?"

The official stubbornly said: "Gather laborers from the displaced people again, and send more people to rush to work!"

Shao Pingbo: "The manpower has increased, how can you guarantee the rations of the laborers?"

The official said: "After the canal is repaired and whose fields are irrigated, it is natural who will pay the money and grain, and the officials will have a good talk with those rich households." ”

Shao Pingbo: "That's reasonable! But I have two demands, first of all, there must be no laborers who work to starve to death, and secondly, you can't be arrogant and unreasonable to those rich people, you must be reasonable, and explain the reason clearly to others, if you scare people away, it will cause a bad impact, so that other rich people will retreat, and affect my plans in Beizhou, I will not spare you!"

The official wailed in his heart, but he still stiffened his head and responded: "The lower official has written it down!"

"The progress of the project, every three days, I am waiting for your news in Beizhou. ”

"Yes!"

Shao Pingbo's eyes swept over the local officials present, and said slowly: "You are here to make a living for the people of Beizhou, and I can't treat you badly." He turned back to the general standing on one side and said, "General Xu, gather the families of local officials and send them to the capital of Beizhou for resettlement, and I will support their families and let them run errands here with peace of mind." ”

General Xu clenched his fists and said, "Yes!"

Shao Pingbo said to the officials: "Before the rainy season comes, you must work together to open this canal, I am waiting for you in Beizhou, when the good news arrives, I will personally send everyone's family back and celebrate everyone's success in person!"

Everyone is terrified, this is to take everyone's family members hostage!

This eldest prince's ruthlessness has been heard for a long time, if this cannot be explained, the consequences can be imagined!

Everyone had to respond in unison, "Master Xie!"

After everyone dispersed, Shao Sanxing waved his hand to signal a few people around Shao Pingbo to avoid, and reminded: "Eldest prince, is it a little inappropriate to take these officials' families hostage?"

Shao Pingbo's sideburns were extremely conspicuous in the sun, staring at the busy place of work, and sighed lightly: "How can I not know that something is wrong, but in this troubled world, people's hearts are like water, and they should be curbed with heavy punishment... It is not a bad thing that the decree comes from me, and that is lenient and severe, and sometimes they are afraid of me, so that the decree can be carried out quickly!"

Shao San was silent for a while, and then said: "Eldest son, for Niu Youdao, Miss Su missed!"

Shao Pingbo Huo Ran turned around, "What's the matter?"

I couldn't say a word or two about this, so Shao Sanxing took out the translated secret letter from his sleeve and put it on for him to see.

After Shao Pingbo received it in his hand and looked at it, he said slowly: "It's no wonder that I missed, I told Sister Zhao a long time ago, Niu must be prepared if you have a way, don't do it rashly!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at the paper in his hand and frowned and pondered, muttering in his mouth, "Such a master, he actually missed... A group of people suddenly appeared around him......"

After a long time, the paper was handed back to Shao Sanxing, and he advised: "Send a message to Sister Zhao, I want to know all the details of Niu Youdao's journey out of the mountain, remember, details, I want details!"

"Yes!" Shao San responded.

"Ahem..."Shao Pingbo coughed violently.

A few days later, in the Beizhou capital city, in the Thorn History Mansion, in the study, Shao Pingbo was under the lamp, reading official documents and writing instructions.

Shao Sansheng entered, and another secret letter was presented, "Eldest son, Miss Su's reply is here." ”

Shao Pingbo didn't look up, and when he finished approving an official document in his hand, Fang put down his pen and took the secret letter in his hand and read it carefully.

There are several contents of this secret letter, and after reading it for a long time, Shao Pingbo slowly put the things on the table, stared at the lights on the table and was silent for a long time, Fang Youyou sighed, "Sister Zhao is careless, Niu Youdao is afraid that he already knows that the killer is from Xiaoyue Pavilion, and Ling Huqiu's identity is afraid that it has also aroused his suspicions." ”

Shao Sansheng asked: "How do you say it?"

Shao Ping** issued a secret letter, "Look at the beginning of the secret letter, the description of Niu Youdao when he came out of the mountain. ”

Shao Sanxing took the secret letter in his hand, but he didn't read it, "The old slave of the secret letter has already seen it, and the beginning is that Niu Youdao went out of the mountain to purchase some things in Qingshan County..."

Shao Pingbo leaned back in his chair and said: "A little accompanying thing, how can he personally come forward to procure, and a group of masters of the three factions who suddenly appeared around him, how can they suddenly appear in a concentrated manner, it is obvious that he has been prepared for a long time, he is using his example as bait, and he has already set a trap, wanting to lure people who are not good for him to take the bait." Even a master like Zhuo Chao can't kill him, which shows that he is well prepared!"

"With such the ability to protect himself, why do you have to let people secretly accompany him, why do you still show weakness to the outside world? What is it that you don't deliberately lure people who want to be unfavorable to him? What is your intention to deliberately make trouble for yourself? It is not difficult to understand, he has a great deal to do with this trip to Qi State, and he wants to know in advance what is unfavorable to him, so that he can act later, so he wants to catch alive and find out who made a move against him, so that he can deal with it! Xiaoyue Pavilion is afraid that someone has already fallen into his hands!"

Shao Sanxing: "Miss Su said in the letter that she had been reprimanded by Xiaoyue Pavilion for this matter, and when Xiaoyue Pavilion reprimanded her, the accusation proved that the five people who did it had all died, and it should have not fallen into the hands of Niu Youdao alive. ”

Shao Pingbo sneered, "This proves that Ling Huqiu is the person from Xiaoyue Pavilion!"

Shao Sanxing was stunned, he really couldn't keep up with this son's train of thought.

"Niu Youdao planned and then moved, and the secret entourage was not exposed before he started. How many people did Niu Youdao use to ambush him, and how he killed Zhuo Chao, it is still a mystery, Sister Zhao and Xiaoyue Pavilion can't figure out what happened, and none of the assassins have returned, how can Xiaoyue Pavilion know the specific casualties?"

"Zhuo Chao has a group of seven people, one is responsible for transferring Ling Huqiu, one is responsible for watching the wind in the Boundless Pavilion, and five people are responsible for doing it, this is the general idea of the action. And Ling Huqiu has been inseparable from Niu Youdao before, after the incident, do you think Niu Youdao will doubt Ling Huqiu? If this can't arouse Niu Youdao's suspicion, then Niu Youdao is not the Niu Youdao I am familiar with. Already suspicious of Ling Huqiu, Niu Youdao is unlikely to tell Ling Huqiu that he has a live mouth in his hand, after the incident, Niu Youdao must tell Ling Huqiu that all five assassins are dead!

"Niu Youdao is deliberately setting up a situation, just to catch a live mouth, even Zhuo Chao died in his hands, do you think it is very difficult for him to catch a live mouth?"

Shao Sanxing seemed to have an understanding, and then wondered: "Xiaoyue Pavilion's cruel methods to deal with traitors are not child's play, even if there are those who are caught, they should know the consequences of betrayal, can they confess so easily?"

Shao Pingbo sneered, "You also underestimate Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao is not one of those self-righteous horsemen in the cultivation world who only knows how to fight and kill, with his means, unless it is a dead person, as long as it falls into his hands, I will not be surprised at all." Most people can't get his hands at all, and they can't run away from the people he tosses in front of him, and he has a way to pry open the other party's mouth! If he can leave the Boundless Pavilion, it means that he has already succeeded!"
