Chapter 227 Gathering

Chapter 227 Gathering

Mo'er was allowed to ride a horse due to her status as Yun Gu's maid. Zhao Yushu thought he could also go back to the carriage to drink tea, but he was driven out by the old eunuch.

"Prisoners must have the consciousness of prisoners."

So Zhao Yushu squatted obediently in the prison van, staring at the two monks.

Mo'er was riding on his horse and looking at Zhao Yushu who looked aggrieved, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What did he teach you?"

Zhao Yushu glanced at the carriage and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing."

"You lied to me too?" Zhao Yushu widened his eyes. Mo'er has become bad.

"I really didn't teach you anything." Mo'er blinked, "I just gave you some suggestions on what Yun Gu taught you."

"for example?"

"secret!"

Mo'er raised his head, turned around, rode his horse around to the back, pulled open the carriage curtain and went to chat with the old eunuch, leaving Zhao Yushu alone scratching his head.

Dongdu Academy has received many visitors recently.

"The last time I saw you, you were still a kid. Now you are in the eighth level. I guess you have only been able to achieve inner vision in the past few years." Gu Changfeng stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Wu Ziheng's head, but Wu Jianxian glared at him rudely and he retracted his hand.

Gu Changfeng chuckled: "I'm older now, and it's not easy to bully me. But my junior brother is in Jiangning, thanks to you for taking care of him."

"According to the rules of Shushan, I have not and cannot provide any practical help. The situation in the southeast was indeed created by Junior Brother Zhao himself. His courage and wisdom are much stronger than yours back then."

Wu Ziheng's words made Gu Changfeng quite disdainful: "That's because I look down on the welcoming banquet at Wangjiang Tower, otherwise the entire Southeast would not be enough for me to kill alone."

Wu Ziheng was too lazy to pay attention to him: "I won't talk to you about this. This time, I came here for two things. One is to send a few people over, and the other is to ask you what you want. As far as I know, they are almost in Dongdu."

Gu Changfeng rarely covered his face with his hands: "The teacher ran to Xijing without saying a word, leaving me with such a mess. I really don't have any way to deal with it."

Wu Ziheng hesitated for a moment: "If it's a normal internal scene, I might be able to buy some time for Junior Brother Zhao, but I don't have any confidence in the one in the palace."

"Not to mention you, Ali and Meng Yan can't do it either. And once we take action, the academy will be in trouble, unless..."

"Unless Junior Brother Zhao can escape by himself." Wu Ziheng gave the answer.

"As long as he can get into the academy, if Xijing wants him out, he has to issue an imperial decree to get him out. There will be delays in the process. The old eunuch has a high generation and high cultivation, but he is a palace servant after all. My rogue father-in-law has a hundred ways to make him leave honestly."

"But, he can't possibly give Junior Brother Zhao a chance."

“Opportunities are created by people.”

"Opportunities are created by ourselves." Lan Ling was walking in the night market of Dongdu. She picked up a hairpin and inserted it into Sanniang's hair, looking at her carefully.

She declined Ali's invitation and strolled around with Sanniang. After figuring out some things, she realized that some things should only be said to her own people.

"What chance? No matter how much we prepare, we can't win against an inner scene." Sanniang looked in the mirror. The hairpin was very beautiful and she was a good person too. She grew up in the Red Lotus Sect since she was a child. She was either rebelling or on the way to rebel. She never had a chance to clean herself up.

"If I were planning to attack an inner scene, I wouldn't bring you with me. I'm different from him. I'm not stupid." Lan Ling took out her purse, counted out a dozen copper coins, and decisively bought the hairpin.

"How can we save him if we don't do anything to Neijing?"

"Of course, let the academy save us."

"But you said this afternoon that the academy might not be saved." Sanniang felt that her brain was not enough. How come you are all so smart?

"The academy won't take the initiative to rescue him, but if he can run into the academy, I don't believe the academy will tie him up and send him out again."

"Ah!" Fang Sanniang suddenly realized: "We just need to create an opportunity and let him run into the academy!"

Lan Ling smiled slightly: "Isn't this quite clever!"

Sanniang blushed in embarrassment: "But even so, it's not easy to create an opportunity for him to run into the academy, right?"

"It's difficult. I thought about it for a long time. It's impossible for the two of us to do it, but fortunately, we still have plenty of time."

Sanniang wanted to scratch her head, but she felt that this action was not very elegant: "There is another very important thing you haven't thought about."

Lan Ling pulled her and continued to shuttle between the stalls: "What's the matter?"

"What if that old eunuch doesn't even come into Dongdu and just leaves?"

Lan Ling smiled, very happily.

"Don't make fun of me all the time. I'm asking seriously. Dongdu is so big. If they go directly outside the city, he won't be able to run back."

Lan Ling pointed to the distant east, as if she was pointing her finger at the forehead of a person thousands of miles away: "If you don't have the ability to trick the old eunuch into coming to Dongdu City, just wait for me to bring you a pot of good wine next year."

Gu Changfeng was in a dilemma holding a storage bag. The storage bag was given to him by the clever kid in front of him. The kid was a younger brother that his junior fellow apprentice took in in Nanyang. He brought him all the way to Jiangning, and before he went to Wangjiang Tower to kill people, he sent the person and the things to him as if entrusting an orphan to him.

There were several books and some silver bills in the storage bag. The silver bills were the belongings of his junior brother. Gu Changfeng had no interest in how much they were, but those books were very likely to be important evidence to confirm one of his previous ideas.

And since Zhao Yushu chose to give it to him, it means that he doesn't mind knowing the secret.

With a long sigh, Gu Changfeng put the storage bag into his arms: "Your name is Mu Yao?"

Ah Yao nodded: "Brother Shenxian, will you save Brother Zhao?"

"I can assure you that as long as the academy is still there, he will be fine. These things are very valuable. I will help you put them away first. You can stay in the academy before he comes back, okay?"

How many times have you lied today?

Unexpectedly, A Yao shook his head and said, "Brother Zhao said that I have a brother and a sister, and I want to go find them."

Brother and sister? Gu Changfeng thought for a long time but couldn't remember that Zhao Yushu had relatives in Dongdu.

"Are you clever?" Wei You asked from the side.

"Ji Leng." A Yao nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you there in person later, Ayao, go and have a rest first."

Ah Yao nodded obediently and left. Wei You looked at his receding figure and said, "Let this child come with me first. If he becomes smart in the future, you can take care of him. How about that?"

Gu Changfeng frowned: "Do you think Junior Brother won't be able to come back?"

Wei You shook his head: "According to my guess, he probably won't die, but it's unlikely that he can teach A Yao freely. The best outcome is that he will be locked up in the academy for a few years and not allowed to go out. Of course, the more likely outcome is that he will be punished to serve in the border army for three years."

"What's the worst possible outcome?"

"Destroy the Snow Mountain Qi Sea and throw it back to the academy."

Ji Leng usually works and studies in the academy, but after Zhao Yushu got into trouble, he was temporarily recruited by Yun Gu and was not in the academy at this time. So A Yao politely declined Mr. San's escort and decided to go to Yun Gu first with Miss Wanqing. After all, her sister also had a great relationship with Yun Gu.

When the carriage reached the night market, there was a traffic jam. Wanqing, who was wearing a veil, simply took A Yao out of the carriage and walked over, and also visited the night market.

She placed Zhao Yushu's folding fan at her waist and did not dare to leave it for a moment. In the crowd, she held A Yao with one hand and held the folding fan tightly with the other hand to prevent it from falling accidentally.

Then she suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. It was clearly summer but she felt like she had fallen into an icy cave in the coldest days of winter...
