Chapter 289 The visitor is evil

The highest level one can enter into the imperial mausoleum is determined by the strength of the opponent one will face after snatching the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.

First of all, we can rule out the external scene of Great Perfection, because the aura that forced himself out in the first place was Great Perfection. If we can get in, it will be enough to just send a Great Perfection.

The probability is the seventh or eighth heaven.

And there is also the issue of number of people. If there is only one Seventh Level Zhao Yushu, he might have a chance to escape, but if there are two, they will probably be suppressed and unable to move.

The wolf girl who was originally planned to be used to deal with the masters can now not enter the imperial mausoleum directly.

What does it mean that plans cannot keep up with changes? Weak intelligence capabilities led to huge loopholes in our plans.

We can only hope that the wolf girl can bring good news.

In the imperial study of Daming Palace, the prince severely criticized the commander of Jiangnan who was not doing well in the battle. He was considering whether to replace him with a capable fighter after ascending the throne. Even if Jiangnan could not win, at least it had to be stabilized so that the Red Lotus Sect would not continue to advance. No matter what, Qiantang River had to be saved.

At least Southeast is still paying taxes on the surface, it’s just a matter of how much.

"Your Majesty, the list of names for the high priest ceremony has been delivered."

A eunuch handed in a memorial, and the prince waved his hand to let him go, then picked up the list and began to review it.

"I can't enter the imperial mausoleum. Are you sure you don't want me to transfer a few people from the underworld to protect you?" The figure of the messenger from the underworld appeared behind the prince, and the person who was guarding the prince personally now was not the old eunuch.

"No problem, I already have a candidate. You in the underworld have some skills, but compared to this person, I'm afraid you are still a little behind."

The underworld messenger immediately became interested: "Who is this great talent?"

The prince smiled and said, "He has already touched the threshold of the seventh heaven, just enough to enter. And this trip to the imperial mausoleum may help him make a breakthrough. In a sense, he and I are also relatives."

The prince stood up, took down a gorgeous box from the bookshelf beside him, and opened it in front of the messenger from the underworld. The messenger subconsciously took two steps back.

"Please ask the little master."

In the box, a peach wood sword only one foot long lay quietly inside.

The wolf girl left early, and now she has a heavy task.

Zhao Yushu had nothing to do today. He was thinking about whether to continue studying or go for a stroll in Chang'an, when he heard footsteps outside the door.

Soon, the courtyard gate was knocked. Zhao Yushu opened the door and saw Fang Zheng standing outside with a man who looked like a servant.

"This is it, Mr. Bai, someone is looking for you, you two can chat."

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Bai Jintang?" The servant moved steadily, and his every move exuded the aura of a battlefield.

"It is me, may I ask who you are?"

"On the orders of my master, please invite Mr. Bai to our house for a chat." The servant took out the invitation and handed it over respectfully.

"General Xue?"

"That's right. The carriage is just outside the workshop. Sir, would you like to get ready?"

Zhao Yushu thought about it. General Xue was the father of Young Master Xue. Theoretically, he should have no ill will towards him. He probably just wanted to see what kind of person his silly son's new friend was. There was no need to leave any secret message for the wolf girl. So he just locked the door and got into the car with the servants.

Before, Zheng Pan said that the old man of the Xue family was the pillar of the country and it was not empty flattery. He was indeed a second-rank general who assisted the country. Later, in order to help his son ascend to the throne, he took the initiative to step back on the grounds of injury and old age, and made General Xue the Zhuangwu General and the General of the Zuolongwu Army. Although his rank was only fourth-rank, he was a real powerful general. The Xue family was considered a first-class wealthy family in Chang'an.

From Young Master Xue's cleverness last night, we can tell that even though the Xue family are all military generals, they understand the situation well, so there shouldn't be any attempt to win over or test him today.

The Xue family's residence is in Qinrenfang. In the past, two very famous people, or rivals, lived here: Guo Ziyi and An Lushan...

The Xue family is much more imposing than the Chen Mansion of Mr. Chen. After all, they have been a family of nobles for generations, and their ancestors followed Taizu to conquer the world. Not only have they not collapsed for hundreds of years, but they are still powerful bosses today. This shows that this family has not produced any useless people for hundreds of years.

Then who are you, Young Master Xue, acting like a playboy for outside? Who could be your family's big enemy?

Zhao Yushu was just a commoner and a junior, so he was not qualified to have the Xue Mansion open the main door to welcome guests, so he followed the servants and walked in through the side door.

"Mr. Bai, please wait a moment. The master will be here soon." The maid put down the fruits and tea, and left Zhao Yushu alone in the living room.

"Excuse me, young lady, is Master Xue here?" Zhao Yushu hurriedly called out to the other party. If Master Xue was not here, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to face him alone?

When the maid heard the words "Young Master Xue", the corners of her mouth suddenly rose, as if she wanted to laugh, but she held it back: "Young Master is talking to the Master."

Zhao Yushu thought, let's just talk, why are you laughing?

The wait was a bit long this time.

Zhao Yushu didn't dare to use his ears to listen casually. Since he entered the door, at least three different spiritual lights have swept over him. There are many cultivators in the Xue Mansion.

So he could only wait.

After half an hour, footsteps were finally heard outside the hall.

An elegant-looking middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked in with his hands behind his back, smiling. Zhao Yushu's sharp eyes saw a bamboo whip as thick as a thumb sticking out from behind him.

Zhao Yushu shuddered, finally understanding how Young Master Xue talked to his father, and quickly put on a smile: "My junior is Bai Jintang, nice to meet General Xue."

The middle-aged man sat down at the main seat and waved his hand for Zhao Yushu to sit down. "You are my son's good friend. There is no need to be so polite. Just call me uncle."

The word "good" was emphasized very strongly. Zhao Yushu wanted to cry. He guessed wrong again. If he had known this, he would not have come here.

"I heard that nephew Bai made us Tang people proud at Siyue Pavilion yesterday."

Zhao Yushu stood up and said, "It's just a joke among young people."

"After winning, why did you just have a drink and leave?"

Zhao Yushu forced a smile and said, "It's just to show off. After all, he is the Liao envoy. If we really offend him, we will be in trouble."

General Xue laughed loudly, "You knew that the woman was Yelu Yan's man, and you were not afraid when she started the incident, but now you say you are afraid of causing trouble. Bai Jintang, I am a rough man and I don't know how to beat around the bush, so I ask you directly, and you answer honestly, what exactly do you want to do by doing this?"

Zhao Yushu felt that he had overestimated his own political skills again. Before coming here, he thought that the Xue family would remain neutral and had a silly son who acted like a dandy outside all day long. They would never test him, a princeling who seemed to be in the limelight. He didn't expect that the other party would not even do foreplay and directly show a knife.

Following General Xue's words, Zhao Yushu once again felt a spiritual power enveloping him. If he made any rash move...

It would be a bit disrespectful to pretend to be stupid at this time, so Zhao Yushu smiled and sat down again: "Uncle, may I ask why you hit Brother Xue? It can't be because of me, right?"

Zhao Yushu's answer was irrelevant, but General Xue was not angry. He just weighed the bamboo whip in his hand and asked, "What do you think, nephew Bai?"

Zhao Yushu pretended to think for a moment and said, "Could it be that the precious sword I used to pay off my debt is not worth a hundred taels?"

General Xue laughed: "The old man likes it very much. Just for the old man's happiness, it's worth a thousand gold."

"Is that so? That can only be because, although I am clearly a member of the Crown Prince's party, my actions seem to be detrimental to the Crown Prince."
