Chapter 50: Divide the spoils on the spot?
The little Taoist priest returned to the guest room prepared for him. Although it was called a guest room, its size and interior decoration were no less than that of a palace. In other words, it was originally a palace.
He took off his dirty and torn Taoist robe, revealing a pair of exquisite soft armor. A trace of heartache flashed in the little Taoist's eyes. The software that should have been full of spiritual light was now gray and dead.
What on earth was that dagger that could destroy this lower-grade earth treasure with just one strike?
This was the gift from the old Taoist priest. There were only a handful of masters in the world, and the gift from the head of a top sect when accepting a disciple naturally had to be at the Earth level.
And this soft armor that had accompanied him for six years and was strong enough to block Neijing's attack, was turned into an ordinary object by the blow of the dagger.
White jade soup, white jade soup!
Who would have such a strange name?
There was no one around, so the little Taoist cried secretly.
The top floor of the library, the night breeze is cool
This was the first time Zhao Yushu went up to the top floor of the library. Of course, he didn't walk there, but was brought here directly by Meng Yan's Liuli pretense. Old Zhao asked Meng Yan what was the difference between his move and the teleportation of his senior brother. Old Meng replied very implicitly that his was a barrier that only had an omnipresent effect within the academy. Outside the academy, it was his senior brother who was the most impressive.
At this time, there were already several people on the top floor. Wen Jijiu, who was the most senior, was sitting behind the desk, and Liu Jijiu was accompanying him. An extremely beautiful woman in red was standing by the window, looking out the window. Her profile was very attractive.
Zhang Hong was left at the gatehouse. Although he was allowed to enter the academy, he was definitely not allowed to enter the confidential areas.
Looking at Shen Qixing who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, Wen Jijiu glanced at him with lightning speed, stroked his white beard and smiled with satisfaction.
The woman in red turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yushu: "Well done."
Zhao Yushu clapped his hands suddenly: "This sound, ah, you are Yu..."
With a bang, Zhao Yushu was pushed to the ground, his mouth was covered tightly, and the man in red grabbed his collar and pulled him up: "Call me Second Senior Sister!"
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him, "Second Sister"
"Good~"
Meng Yan pretended not to see it and looked up at the roof.
Zhao Yushu coughed twice: "That Feng, um, where is Boss Feng?"
"Boss Feng? This title is quite unusual." Second Senior Sister A Li chuckled, "It's time to go to Prince Fu's Mansion and let that lovely little princess calm down and not do anything wrong in a moment of impulse."
The eldest brother did go to Prince Fu's mansion, but he didn't just take a look around. Instead, he sat in the living room with a swagger.
The steward respectfully served tea, and Prince Fu chatted with the eldest brother for a few irrelevant words, and then the eldest brother stood up and said goodbye.
The princess did not show up from beginning to end
The little master didn't show up either.
The matter is over, let's continue to be harmonious
The eldest brother, Prince Fu, used a cup of tea to put an end to this farce that had stirred up all the forces in the entire East Capital. Yes, it was a farce. The plan of plundering wealth or eliminating dissidents that Prince Fu had been planning for a long time was just a test or training for the younger junior brother in the eyes of the eldest brother.
Let him meet some people and see some things, and the purpose will be achieved.
Then the petals fell, and the eldest brother came to the top floor of the library.
"Well, this is Shen Qixing." The eldest brother walked around Shen Qixing and patted him lightly on the head. Shen Qixing fell to the ground with a plop.
Lao Zhao ran over to take a look and asked: "Are you injured?"
Shen Qixing sat up with difficulty: "My legs are numb"
"Old Four, send him back." Meng Yan nodded, waved his folding fan, and pulled Shen Qixing into the glass world. Shen Qixing tried to look back and take a look at his savior, but his vision was eventually blocked by the cracks in the glass.
Zhao Yushu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Is my mission completed? Is the next step the battle settlement?"
Everyone looked at each other. This guy started talking again, saying something incomprehensible.
"First of all, I must say that you did a great job this time, which exceeded my expectations." The eldest brother found a stool and sat down casually. "I didn't expect that someone in Xijing would take action and force me to go to Tongguan. I also didn't expect that they would send the little Taoist priest. I am really surprised that you were able to rescue people from the little Taoist priest's hands."
Lao Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you don't have everything under control. I was able to come back alive this time only because of luck."
The eldest brother continued, "Emotionally speaking, I regard you as my younger brother, but since Master hasn't come back, I still can't make the decision for him, but it's not a big problem."
Old Zhao glared and said, "So, what Meng Lao Si said before that Tianji Pavilion would protect me may not be true?"
"Since the academy's words have been spoken, they must be counted. Regardless of whether the master accepts you or not, I guarantee as the eldest disciple of Tianji Pavilion that as long as I am here, no one can touch you, unless you become an enemy of the academy." The eldest brother's words are naturally trustworthy, and Lao Zhao dare not disbelieve them.
Zhao Yushu bowed solemnly and thanked the senior brother
"Well, Shen Dabao has offered a high price for this matter, but the credit is not just yours. Do you understand what I mean?" The eldest brother meant that all the forces in the entire Dongdu had contributed, and the benefits that should be given must be given. You can't take it all by yourself.
"I understand. It's all up to you, Senior Brother."
"Okay, I will deposit Shen Dabao's reward into the academy's treasury, and the academy will compensate the others. I'll let Uncle Master decide on the specific compensation matters." The eldest brother stood up and saluted Wen Jijiu, who waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
"Well, this matter has come to an end. Zhao Yushu, you should go back to class."
Class? I am the hero who broke into the treasure house of King Fu, and you want me to go to class?
"Yes, Senior Brother," Zhao Yushu nodded obediently.
After Zhao Yushu left, there were only four people left upstairs. Wen Jijiu glanced at the eldest brother and asked, "Did you see anything?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I was in Tongguan, so I didn't have the chance to see it. However, although the young master is a sixth-level cultivator, if they really fight, with his Longhu Mountain secrets and countless treasures, he can't lose to an ordinary eighth-level cultivator. How did the young brother, a first-level cultivator, snatch someone from him? I just went to Prince Fu's mansion to see that the young master was seriously injured."
The second sister was still leaning against the window: "He was severely injured by Zhang Hong's punch before."
The eldest brother was stunned: "He dares to fight Zhang Hong?"
The second sister shook her head: "He was chasing someone, but was stopped by Zhang Hong. I was far away and couldn't see clearly."
The eldest brother closed his eyes and counted, his brows furrowed: "The person doesn't match up."
Wen Jijiu looked at his eldest brother with a bit of gloating. It had been a long time since he saw his son-in-law frowning. "Okay, don't worry about it. Anyway, the result is very good. It is exactly as we expected, or even better. However, Prince Fu suffered a big loss this time, so who knows what tricks he will do."
The eldest brother thought for a while and said, "Prince Fu did not suffer any loss. He just bribed a shopkeeper of the Shen family. He did not suffer any substantial loss. At most, he did not gain any advantage. What I can't understand is, what is the purpose of Prince Fu doing this? Is it just for money? He has enough money. What does he want to do with so much silver? Why does he want to integrate the forces of Dongdu?"
Wen Jijiu pondered for a moment: "What do you think?"
"I thought of the Jade Rat"
When the eldest senior brother said this, not only Wen Jijiu, but also Liu Jijiu and the second senior sister looked over. It was obvious that they didn't understand how the Jade Rat was related to this matter.
"I was wondering why the princess wanted to catch the jade rat."
