Chapter 42 Where are my reinforcements?

Chapter 42 Where are my reinforcements?

The big rooster stood on the roof, looking at the sun rising slowly in the east with a little pride. Today, the sky was brightened by his own crow again.

Zhao Yushu returned to the academy and said he wanted to get some clothes and call for some help.

Mo'er returned to Tianxiang Tower dazed, Yun Gu didn't ask anything and just asked her to go and rest first. Mo'er lay on the bed, feeling seven parts confused, as what happened that night was too weird and she couldn't understand it; two parts excited, as she was going to break into the imperial city tonight, as she had wanted to do so for a long time, but her aunt wouldn't let her; and one part shy, as she said I was the only person she trusted!

Humph, he must be lying. I’ve only known him for four hours!

Humph, go to sleep!

Old Zhao ate the free breakfast at the food court, squatted by the pool and washed his face briefly, then ran to the entrance of the training ground, with his hands in the shape of trumpets, ignoring the looks of the students exercising around him, and shouted loudly: "Meng Yan!"

The people around him disappeared in an instant, and there was a crackling sound next to Zhao Yushu: "Why are you calling me?"

Meng Yan loves to laugh, and he usually has a smiling face in front of everyone. But for some reason, he always feels that he cannot laugh in front of his junior fellow apprentice, who is about to or has already joined the apprenticeship. Because the next moment, he might get so angry at something that fellow said that he won’t have time to suppress his smile, making his pretty face look ugly.

"Lao Meng, I need reinforcements!"

"?"

"I'm going to the Imperial City to rob someone tonight!"

Meng Yan blinked his eyes and said, "Brother, are you so brave? Aren't you only in the first level?"

"I know Shen Laoqi must be there"

"so?"

"So I have to go save people, but I can't beat them."

Then don’t go, isn’t it good to be alive?

Meng Yan tried hard to organize his words: "This little, um, classmate Zhao Yushu, I think this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Old Zhao scratched his head: "But you said, I only have two days, I have to rescue Shen Laoqi before dawn tomorrow."

Meng Yan also scratched his head: "That's what I said."

"So you don't keep your word?"

"That's definitely not the case"

"So you want me to die?"

“That’s definitely not it.”

"So, where are the reinforcements?"

Meng Yan scratched his head even more. Senior Brother didn’t tell me, and I didn’t know that the person was hiding in the imperial city before. No, no matter where the person hides, this kid from the First Heaven can’t deal with him. What does Senior Brother want to do? He and Second Senior Sister have been gone for a whole day. Logically, he should have come back to give some instructions or something. There is no news at all. Where did he go?

The eldest brother is not in Dongdu now. Xijing and Dongdu are separated by nearly 2,000 miles in this world. There are several passes between the two capitals, the most famous of which is Tongguan.

This is the last pass from the east to Beijing. With its unique terrain, it can be said that one man can block the passage of ten thousand men. On the wall above this pass, a man and a woman are sitting on the edge of the wall.

"It's fine if you don't want me to go to Prince Fu's Mansion, but why did you bring me here?" Second Senior Sister Ali looked at the endless stream of caravans and pedestrians with an unhappy look on her face.

"What are you doing at Prince Fu's Mansion?"

"What? Help junior brother? How can he rescue people?" Ali said as if it was a matter of course.

"Ms. Yun, it's okay. The sick scholar looks the craziest, but he's actually the most timid. The detective is the most cunning. As long as they understand the situation, they won't be obstacles, they may even be helpers." The eldest brother took off the flower on his head and began to count the petals one by one.

"Zhang Hong's cultivation is good, but his brain is not good. However, he seems to have some relationship with Junior Brother. All the people in Dongdu who are qualified to take action are on our side."

Ali curled his lips: "The people from Prince Fu's Mansion are not on our side, right?"

The eldest senior brother sighed and said, "I originally thought that I would go to Prince Fu's mansion tonight. As long as Prince Fu is not crazy, everything will go smoothly. I will just let my junior brother get to know the local boss of Dongdu."

Ali heard something wrong: "Originally?"

"Yes, but then I thought, Princess Fu is not stupid, and can even be said to be very smart. Everyone can see through this situation, so why can't she? So, what exactly does she want to do?"

Ali was stunned: "Are you saying that the Shen family's matter is just a cover?"

"I originally thought it was a conspiracy, but now it seems to be an open conspiracy. If no one takes action, Shen Dabao will have to obediently take out two components of the molecules, and if someone takes action..."

The eldest brother stood up and looked at Xijing who was far away and out of reach: "Where did she get the confidence to swallow us all?"

Ali also stood up: "Xijing"

Meng Yan was a little anxious. No matter what, all the disciples of Tianji Pavilion couldn't leave. If the eldest brother and the second sister went to suppress the interior of Prince Fu's Mansion, who would take care of the exterior? He had to look after the house himself.

The academy cannot take direct action. Some things can be beaten to a pulp, but in public they must be friendly. This is the rule.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much." Meng Yan forced a smile: "At least the senior brother has stopped the inner scene for you."

"What about the exterior?"

"It's an outdoor scene, why don't you think of a way yourself?"

I miss you uncle!

Zhao Yushu finally realized that his little test seemed to have gone wrong. It seemed that the omnipotent senior brother had missed something when arranging things.

"I want to give up the mission!" My life is at stake

"If it was yesterday, you would have given up."

"Why not today?"

Meng Yan became serious: "Guicheng, Tianxianglou, and Dongdufu have already expressed their opinions. If we don't take action now, no one will believe what the academy says in the future."

Zhao Yushu exclaimed, "Oh, this is serious! The prestige of the leader has been damaged!"

"What does it have to do with me?"

"???"

"If I join Tianji Pavilion, you will protect me and no one will dare to kill me. But if I go today, I will be killed tonight without your protection. So, what does what happens after my death have to do with me?"

Oh, little junior brother, you have a very clear mind. How can I fool you? No, how can I persuade you?

Meng Yan joined the Tianji Pavilion four years ago. From then on, he no longer claimed to be the only one in the world, but at least no one dared to provoke him in the past four years. With that high and mighty senior brother and an invisible master, Meng Yan felt frustrated for the first time in four years.

"Let's discuss this further."

"Unless you tell me clearly that someone will protect me tonight, there is no room for negotiation."

Meng Yan stood still and clapped his hands with his folding fan: "Do you believe me?"

“Not really”

"·····" "Then you have to trust Senior Brother."

Lao Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Then I will believe it a little bit."

Meng Yan ignored his nonsense: "I believe it. I believe that if the senior brother lets you go, there may be danger, but he will definitely not let you die. If necessary, the senior brother can recall the past."

"What do you mean?"

On the Tongguan tower, the eldest brother watched a carriage approaching from afar. At first glance, it was still a hundred miles away, but at the second glance, it was already at the city gate.

The carriage stopped and two people sat on the imperial throne.

"Ali, go back"

The second sister looked at the eldest brother worriedly, but she didn't say anything or move.

"Stand at the gate of Prince Fu's mansion for me."

The second senior sister was stunned: "What if they really want to attack my junior brother?"

"What would Master do if he were here?"

The second sister laughed: "Beat him!"

The eldest brother also laughed: "Who said that we have to save face when the master is not around?"
