Chapter 9 This Man Came to the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 This Man Came to the Tang Dynasty

Before Aunt Liu could react, Lao Wang beside her hurriedly pulled his sleeves.

"Brother, please be careful with your words. How can you discuss the affairs of the imperial palace in public? However, among the more than ten emperors of our Tang Dynasty, it seems that none of them had the temple name Xuanzong. As for Yang Guifei, please forgive my lack of knowledge and I don't remember so many concubines in the past dynasties."

Tang! This dynasty is Tang. How lucky! However, this Tang seems to be different from the Tang in the previous life. There are already more than a dozen emperors, but it's not Xuanzong yet?

"Well, sir, does this poem have anything to do with what you are talking about?" Aunt Liu thought to herself, I am only asking about poetry, why are you asking me about history books? I can't even read a few words.

"Ahahaha, it is somewhat related, but it doesn't matter now. In this case, there are only four lines left in this poem. Listen carefully: If life could always be like the first meeting, why does the autumn wind make the painted fan sad? The hearts of old friends change easily, but it is said that the hearts of old friends are easily changed. Remember it?"

Aunt Liu was embarrassed: "I, I can't remember"

Zhao Yushu's face darkened. What are you asking? Why don't you change Sister Yun? She's pretty and speaks well.

"What a good poem! Ma'am, please bring me some pen and ink so I can write it down for you. Wow, if such a talented poet were to appear in the world, who would dare to say that my Tang Dynasty poetry is not famous?" Old Wang shook his head, a little excited.

Zhao Yushu was even more excited than him. Tang Dynasty! Poetry and prose are not prominent! ? Are you kidding? This world is a bit messy.

Madam Liu ran back again. This time she was smart and asked two servants to bring out the table and chairs. Old Wang took up his pen and wrote: "Brother, are these the words?"

"That's right, Madam Liu, take it now, and don't forget to tell Aunt Yun that this was written by Nalan Rongruo and inscribed by my brother."

Old Wang was overjoyed, knowing that it was Zhao Yushu who made him famous. After all, Mr. Nalan was a mysterious person, but he was standing here alive. "Excuse me, I am grateful for your kindness. I am Wang Yuan, and this is my fellow countryman Ouyang Wen. We are both scholars from Pingjiang. I have not asked for your name yet."

"Zhao Yushu, from Xijing"

"Brother Zhao, the three of us hit it off right away. It's really fate. We'll stay at the Yuelai Inn, which is not far from here. Please come in!"

Little Clever hurried to call a carriage. Although it was not far, Lao Wang was half drunk and had been beaten, so it was better to walk as little as possible.

The carriage was not expensive and the distance was not far, so the starting price was only one hundred coins. Little Smart followed along at a trot, and the ride was over in an incense stick of time.

"I didn't expect that Brother Zhao had just arrived in Dongdu today and he rushed to Tianxianglou. It turns out that he is also a man of temperament, haha," Ouyang Wen filled a glass for Lao Zhao and started to joke

Old Zhao glanced at Xiao Jingling who was standing behind him. You ruined my reputation. "If not for this, how could I have made friends with you two?"

Wang Yuan laughed: "Brother Zhao probably hasn't found a place to stay yet."

Zhao Yushu nodded: "I was just thinking of going to look for it after dinner."

Ouyang Wen and Wang Yuan looked at each other and said, "Why bother looking for me? Tonight, I will live in the same room with you, leaving one room for you. But don't mistake me for Miss Rulan when you are drunk."

Wang Yuan blushed: "Ouyang Wen! I will tell my sister-in-law about your prostitution in Dongdu when I get back!"

Everyone laughed, Zhao Yushu bowed and thanked them: "Thank you for your kindness, I will open a shop by myself."

Wang Yuan shook his head: "I'm not being polite to you, but Brother Zhao, do you know that the college exam will be held in five days?"

“Of course I know.”

"Brother Zhao, do you know that half a year ago, scholars from all over the country began to come to the Eastern Capital one after another, and they have never stopped coming until today?"

Zhao Yushu was a little confused. Half a year in advance?

"So, brother Zhao, let alone how rich and luxurious it is, even if it is just a quiet inn, it was full a month ago. Our fellow countrymen from Pingjiang Prefecture all come here to live permanently after the New Year. You just arrived today, and I'm afraid there are only a few weed beds in those inns full of rough men."

At this point, Xiao Jiling followed up: "Master Wang is right. At this time, there may not be any empty rooms in the whole city. I was thinking that if tonight is not possible, you can pay more money and find a girl in Tianxianglou to stay with you for one night."

You bastard, thank you so much for your kindness. Zhao Yushu wanted to curse.

Zhao Yushu wanted to refuse. After all, it was not in line with his introverted and lazy personality to bother others when he first arrived. But he thought that he had no other choice but to nod and thank him.

"Then you take a rest first, I will come back to listen to your orders tomorrow morning." Seeing that the three of them had almost finished drinking, Xiao Jingling left at the right time. He was very sensible.

After the three of them said goodnight to each other, Zhao Yushu returned to his temporary room and paid a little extra money to ask the waiter to prepare a large bucket of hot water for him. He soaked himself in it. The wounds on his body had already scabbed over and he felt a little numb and itchy in the hot water.

Was I being a little too nosy today at Tianxianglou?

Zhao Yushu closed his eyes. If he did nothing, Wang Yuan would be ruined.

Although the matter was suppressed by Yun Gu in the end after he showed up, would the son of the second manager of Prince Fu's Mansion, a complete playboy, be willing to let it go like this?

If he is determined to take revenge on me, I don't seem to have anything to fear, but will it attract the attention and suspicion of some smart people?

Zhao Yushu wiped his face, his eyes became firm again. He didn't want to regret it since it had already happened. He did the right thing. If it happened again, he would still do the same thing.

Furthermore, if even the foolish son of the second steward of Prince Fu's Mansion is kept at a distance, how can one have the courage to seek revenge on Princess Fu?

Low profile is the exclusive property of Jade Rat, but it turns out that low profile can't save his life

I, Zhao Cheng, no, I, Zhao Yushu, not only will I not keep a low profile, I will also sing all the way, forge ahead all the way, and stand on the top, looking down at you royal nobles who treat human life as worthless. Let me tell you, I am Zhao Cheng, I am Yushu, and I am back for revenge!

Zhao Yushu, feeling refreshed after taking a bath, sat on the bed and picked up the three secret books left by the Jade Rat.

The first one is also Jade Rat's famous trick, which is naturally the Cloud-Exploring Hand. This is a secret book for practicing hand skills, which mainly trains the speed and flexibility of fingers. In the words of the secret book itself, when practiced to the highest level, the moves are as fast as thunder, so fast that they are invisible to the naked eye, and the ability to steal is a bonus.

Obviously, the Jade Rat is not a person with great ambitions, and is mainly used for theft.

The second book is Shadow Stepping. This skill is already in the realm of fantasy, because it is no longer about speed, but about teleportation that breaks through the physical rules of the previous life. As long as the shadows are connected, it can travel thousands of miles in an instant. It is indeed a magical skill for night thieves.

The last book, "A Hundred Solutions to Tricks", is Jade Rat's special skill, but Zhao Yushu does not want to practice it. He does not intend to follow Jade Rat's path again, which is a dead end. Facing a real master, he may be able to protect himself, but he will never win.

First learn the Shadow Steps, then the Cloud-Seeking Hands. One saves life, the other kills the enemy. Stealing is put aside for now. With flexible fingers, a short weapon is the most suitable. And I happen to have such a short weapon.

With a thought, Madam Xu took shape in her hands.
