People should be self-aware.

You can cook as much food as you have the pot; you can do as much work as you have the ability.

If you do not know your own capabilities, you will only bring about your own destruction.

There is a saying in the art of war: if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

If a person does not have self-knowledge, how can he know himself and the enemy?

The most difficult thing to understand in the world is often oneself, so self-knowledge is not something everyone has.

Everyone in the world knows that Xue Qianhe, the head of the Kunlun Sect, is a very greedy person. Of course Xue Qianhe himself knew this.

But what he didn't know was how capable he really was. Therefore, he had no idea what things he could do and what things he couldn't touch at all.

Although the Kunlun Sect has always been regarded as a well-known and upright sect in the world, by the time it was passed into the hands of Xue Qianhe, it had completely become a third-rate sect. Not only are they unable to fight against the four great clans of the world, but even Qingcheng Emei and his ilk are far more famous than Kunlun.

Li makes the mind dim, that is for the wise. For a person who is already very stupid and incompetent, interests will only accelerate his demise.

Xue Qianhe got the help of the temple and had the courage to rob the court of the disaster relief official's money. This was already a treasonous crime of beheading. But he succeeded after all. Although it was not perfect, it was still safe for the time being. As a result, his courage grew again and his ambition began to expand.

He learned from a friend that there was a unique painting in the palace - "Five Cows" by Han Huang. As soon as his mind moved, he had the intention to take possession of it. But he knew that there were many masters in the palace, and he would never have the ability to get it.

At this time, he thought of one person, his only son-in-law - the Slow Sword God Hu Daiwei.

Xue Qianhe has only one daughter, named Xue Qingrou. Xue Qingrou and Hu Daiwei met by chance, fell in love at first sight, and soon became private for life. Because Xue Qianhe couldn't get along with his son-in-law at all, he originally strongly opposed the marriage. But Xue Qingrou didn't care, and in a rage she and Hu Daiwei flew together, and finally lived in seclusion in the cold forest of the capital.

Xue Qianhe naturally knew that he could not persuade Hu Daiwei to steal the painting for him, but he could persuade his daughter. It happened to be August 15th next month, which was when his birthday was approaching, so he used this as an excuse to let Xue Qingrou steal the painting to celebrate his birthday. Xue Qingrou had no choice but to blow the pillow wind and persuade Hu Daiwei to enter the palace to steal the paintings.

Hu Daiwei is actually a meticulous person. He naturally knows what it will mean if it happens? That would be a disaster for everyone!

He also knew that this idea must have come from his money-grubbing father-in-law, because Xue Qingrou was not very interested in these money and silk items.

He had no intention of taking this risk, but he had always been very fond of Xue Qingrou and could not bear to go against her will, so he agreed. Moreover, in his opinion, as long as he does it carefully, he can definitely come and go without a trace, leaving no clues at all.

The theft of the painting was naturally very smooth, and even the most powerful master in the palace, the Jinyiwei commander Wang Jinghao, could not find any trace at all.

Hu Daiwei knew that his father-in-law Xue Qianhe's sixty-fifth birthday was approaching, so he thought that Xue Qingrou would present the painting in person on his birthday, so he handed the painting to Xue Qingrou for safekeeping without thinking.

After all, Xue Qingrou was a member of the female stream. She didn't know the stakes, so she blatantly handed over the painting to the Tianwei Escort Bureau and asked them to escort it to the Kunlun Sect. Although Yang Fuyou, the head of the Tianwei Escort Bureau, knew the stakes, he finally took the risk and agreed because of Xue Qingrou's promise of a large sum of money.

However, the secrets of Tianwei Escort Bureau were not kept secret, and the truth was discovered by King Xiao's secret agent, and the incident happened.

Although King Xiao knew that the Five Oxen Painting was at the Tianwei Escort Bureau, he had no idea who the person who stole the painting was because he could not find any clues at all. Moreover, he was sure that the painting theft case must be somehow related to the official bank case, so he decided to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish, pretending not to know anything, and generously let Tianwei Escort out of Beijing.

The Tianwei Escort Team was robbed and none of the escorts survived. This incident sent shock waves, and everyone involved in the incident immediately became nervous.

As for why the Thousand Chong Church got this news, it was actually King Xiao who was doing something strange, because he deliberately released this news.

Prince Xiao was able to discover the location of the treasure painting because there was one of his spies among the Tianwei bodyguards. He deliberately spread this news quietly to the world, just to make the person who stole the painting confused and exposed his flaws. The case of painting theft is not a trivial matter. Once it becomes known to the world, the mastermind must know that a disaster is coming, so he is likely to lose control.

The development of the matter was all expected by King Xiao. Even the Shengling people in the temple, who had nothing to do with the painting theft case, became panicked because of this. If the Xue Qianhe incident happened, then Sheng Lingren and the entire temple would also be implicated in the official bank case.

On the Kunlun Mountains, Sheng Zhiqiang, who had been singing and dancing all day long and had no idea what was going on, suddenly received a letter from his father. In the letter, he was scolded, and he knew the stakes of the matter.

So he turned over and climbed up, went directly to Kunlun Hall, found Xue Qianhe and asked, "What's going on with the Five Oxen Picture?"

Xue Qianhe said with some embarrassment: "I thought it was a trivial matter, so I asked my son-in-law Hu Daiwei to steal it, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big mess."

"At this juncture, you have caused this trouble for me. I think you really don't want to live anymore." Sheng Zhiqiang said angrily.

"Don't worry, Young Master, maybe there is a way to remedy this?" Xue Qianhe persuaded him kindly.

"What's the remedy? Do you want to use your head to fix it?" Sheng Zhiqiang still didn't look good on him.

"Look, isn't the painting in my hands yet?"

"Where?"

"I heard that the Thousand Chong Sect robbed the Tianwei Escort Agency, so the Five Oxen Pictures naturally belong to the Thousand Chong Sect." Xue Qianhe said in a low voice.

"But how did I hear that Luo Baikong, the leader of Thousand Insect Cult, has suddenly disappeared?" Sheng Zhiqiang said in a questioning tone.

"That's good, let's just throw the blame on him." Xue Qianhe suddenly smiled evilly.

"Do you think it's possible?" Sheng Zhiqiang asked sharply.

When Xue Qianhe was asked this question, he immediately thought about it carefully, and then said: "This doesn't seem very appropriate."

"Nonsense. To put it bluntly, Luo Baikong is just a robber who robbed the escorts, and your son-in-law Hu Daiwei is the real culprit who entered the palace and stole the paintings. You are the mastermind of this matter. Since some people in the world already know that it is Tianwei Escorts Do you think no one will know that it was you and your son-in-law who stole the painting of Five Cows?"

"this……"

Sheng Zhiqiang's words left Xue Qianhe speechless.

"There is no airtight wall. Now that the incident has happened, you should find someone more reliable to take the blame, right?" Sheng Zhiqiang then said meaningfully.

"I'm sorry to be frank, but I don't quite understand what the eldest son means." Xue Qianhe is not a smart person at all. He has not fully understood the profound meaning of Sheng Zhiqiang's words.

"Then let me remind you again. Who did you ask to do these two things?"

"Yun Dayou...Oh! I understand. The eldest master is letting..." Xue Qianhe immediately woke up.

"Hey! This is what you mean, it has nothing to do with me; what you want to do has nothing to do with me. There is one more thing, I have to go back tomorrow, and the rest is up to you. If there is a little fork , I'm afraid your daughter and son-in-law... Haha! You know my father's temper, and those who offend him never end well." Sheng Zhiqiang's words were very threatening.
