My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

The convoy headed north.

After entering the rugged road between the mountains, the convoy could not move faster.

We walked along the mountain stream road for five days, but no accidents occurred.

Dongfang Xun was extremely alert.

There are thirty shadow guards in two teams exploring ahead.

There were ten shadow guards at the rear, always keeping a distance of more than 300 feet from the team and on guard.

There were also twenty shadow guards led by him who were guarding Bai Shaoqiu's carriage.

Zhao Poshan's fifty-plus guards were at the front and rear of the team.

Eunuch Wei rarely got off his carriage these days except to eat or go to the bathroom, but his carriage was right in front of Bai Shaoqiu's carriage.

Behind Bai Shaoqiu was Dongfang Meng, who was walking with a stick on his shoulder.

With this kind of scene and configuration, not everyone in the martial arts world would dare to provoke them easily.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the team walked out of the mountain road and entered the Hexi Corridor.

This place is called Hexi Corridor.

It is similar to the Hexi Corridor in the previous life.

This place is still within the territory of Hexi Road.

The topography here is also composed of mountains, plateaus and basins.

But the direction is different from the previous life.

In the past, the Hexi Corridor started from Wushaoling in the east and ended at Yumen Pass in the west, running east-west.

But this so-called Hexi Corridor...it runs northwest.

It got its name simply because it is an important passage from Hexi Road to the capital Chang'an.

It's sunset again.

The convoy stopped in an area with lush grass and water.

Those who need to set up camp should set up camp, and those who need to cook should cook.

Bai Shaoqiu stood in the autumn breeze under the setting sun, letting the not-so-bitter wind blow his long hair and his clothes.

Eunuch Wei also got off the carriage.

He looked around, came to Bai Shaoqiu, pointed to the place where the camp was set up, and said:

"Six years ago, the King of Zhenxi led his troops to Beishan and reached here."

"He met Shang Junhou here."

"The next day, he returned to Xiling City and never left Xiling again."

Bai Shaoqiu heard about this from Lao Yu.

At that time, I felt that this father-in-law was not a hero after all.

He actually gave up his plan to go to Kyoto and do the biggest thing in his life just because of one person's words.

Old Yu did not say what Shang Shu said to the King of Zhenxi. Bai Shaoqiu thought that it was probably just a huge pie in the sky.

Or perhaps he could use the so-called righteousness to make the King of Zhenxi think about the people of the world.

"This is the source of the discord between the Emperor and the Prince of Zhenxi. However, I have served the Emperor for many years, and I haven't heard him express any dissatisfaction with this..."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess once had a long conversation with the Emperor about this matter at the Princess's residence. As for what they discussed, no one knows, not even I, who am guarding the Princess's residence."

"I guess the princess must have persuaded the emperor, which is why Xiling City has been peaceful for more than six years."

"As for the Emperor granting the marriage, it is indeed a bit absurd. Perhaps this is the Emperor's attitude towards the matter."

"He remembered this account, but he couldn't settle it with the King of Zhenxi, so he had no choice but to use this matter to make things difficult for the King of Zhenxi."

"Once you go to Kyoto and meet the Emperor, you'll probably know what kind of person he is... I shouldn't say these things, but for some reason I still have to tell you today."

"I won't go into the rest of the story. You must understand that the Emperor has no intention of harming you... I will be by his side when you go to see him."

"Don't use those things on you on the emperor!"

This is the warning from Eunuch Wei!

He had seen what Bai Shaoqiu did to the assassin at Changting. He knew it was poison, and he could even guess who gave Bai Shaoqiu the poison!

He was a little worried about this.

The young man in front of him was calmer than he had imagined.

Even more cruel!

And... cold-blooded!

If the poison he had was really given to him by the imperial physician who once worked in the palace... then no one except that imperial physician could cure it!

If he poisoned the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable to Eunuch Wei.

He needs Bai Shaoqiu to show him his attitude!

Bai Shaoqiu gave him a very good attitude——

"Don't worry, sir. I know some things too. Although they are not detailed, I can still distinguish right from wrong."

"I had no other intentions when I went to Kyoto. I told you on the way there that I really just wanted to ask the Emperor to retract the imperial edict."

"It's a request, not a force!"

"It's just that someone wants to kill me, and I definitely won't tolerate that."

"For example, Fengyu Tower."

"I will really kill everyone in that building and burn it down."

"As for those people behind the scenes who I'm still unsure about... Father-in-law, you told me not to be soft-hearted!"

"I found that my heart had become much harder. I didn't intend to ask those people in Fengyu Tower about the real culprit behind the incident at Changting Station."

Bai Shaoqiu looked at the bare mountains in the distance on the plateau. In the afterglow of the setting sun, his white clothes seemed to be coated with a faint golden glow.

"If I had established a reputation as a villain when I entered Kyoto, perhaps I would have been safer in Kyoto."

Eunuch Wei's heart tightened, he looked at Bai Shaoqiu and pondered for three breaths:

"Who are you going to attack?"

Bai Shaoqiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Xuan Jing Si, Shangshan!"

Eunuch Wei was shocked!

"His grandfather is Shang Junhou!"

"I don't care who his grandfather is, father-in-law, if you tell me to go to Kyoto, I will kill Shangshan..."

Eunuch Wei waved his hand and interrupted Bai Shaoqiu:

"The miscellaneous scholars believe that the incident at Changting Posthouse has nothing to do with Shangshan."

Bai Shaoqiu looked at Eunuch Wei and smiled slightly: "Then who do you think it is?"

Eunuch Wei didn't say anything.

He also smiled slightly: "Let's go and sit over there."

Over there, it's by the pond.

Sitting by the pond, Eunuch Wei did not mention anything about Changting Posthouse.

"Give me your hand. Tell me you've been practicing Qi. I'll show you how much Qi you have in your Dantian."

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths, reached out to lift up his sleeve, and extended his left hand.

His right hand had already hidden a little poison the moment he lifted his sleeve.

That is... the Nine-Hearted Begonia, one of the four most poisonous insects in the world!

colorless,

Tasteless.

According to Zou Kongqing, only a tiny bit of this thing is needed to easily knock down a second-grade master!

Unfortunately, the medicinal materials used to prepare the four most deadly poisons in the world are extremely rare.

In learning these things, he used up all the medicinal herbs that Zou Kongqing had collected over the years, and only got a tiny bit of each.

If Eunuch Wei wanted to harm him, Bai Shaoqiu believed that Eunuch Wei would die before him.

Eunuch Wei seemed unaware.

He was really taking Bai Shaoqiu's pulse.

After a moment, his sparse eyebrows frowned.

He withdrew his hand and looked at Bai Shaoqiu with doubt in his eyes:

"What kind of martial arts are you practicing?"

"The Supreme Qi Training Technique."

Eunuch Wei was stunned: "The Supreme Qi Training Technique?"

"Yes, it is said to be the best internal martial arts method in the world. Have you heard of it, father-in-law?"

Eunuch Wei paused for three breaths before nodding, "Of course I've heard of it. It's indeed the best internal martial arts technique in the world, but... but it seems no one in the world has ever mastered it."

Bai Shaoqiu was also stunned. Old Yu never told him that!

Could it be that I am really the chosen one who can master this world's best internal martial arts technique that no one has mastered yet?

Bai Shaoqiu, hoping for a lucky break, also asked:

"With such high skills, eunuch, you must be... a first-class one?"

"Where do so many first-grade masters come from? My family is only lower second-grade, and there is no hope of breaking through to first-grade in this lifetime."

"Oh... then what kind of internal martial arts technique did the father-in-law practice?"

"Sunflower Collection."

Bai Shaoqiu: “…”
