Chapter 387 Crow
The name of Mr. Liu is indeed useful. At least except for Mr. Zhu, everyone was a little confused after hearing it, including the young man who should be called Brother Huo.
The academy is not an enemy, and after returning from Nanyang, Sanniang also told the story of Mr. Liu. To a certain extent, he is a friend of the Red Lotus Sect.
Master Zhu looked at his men's reactions and his expression immediately changed. He laughed loudly, "So it was Mr. Liu who came to visit. Why didn't you inform me, Ah Huo!"
The young man cried out, and hurried forward: "Father."
"Hold a banquet at noon to welcome Mr. Liu."
Ah Huo looked up at his father, seeming a little unconvinced, but seeing that Master Zhu had no intention of changing his mind, he lowered his head again: "Yes!"
Zhao Yushu didn't comment and glanced at Lan Ling.
Master Zhu immediately understood: "We are all friends. I hope Miss Lan and Mr. Black Deer will also show some favor."
Lan Ling nodded, and Zhao Yushu laughed: "That's good, see you at noon."
Master Zhu hummed, "I won't bother you guys anymore, let's go."
Everyone left the courtyard in a rush, and Zhao Yushu's smile faded: "This Lord Zhu is not easy to deal with."
Lan Ling smiled slightly: "That's right, if you hadn't come, I would have been in great danger."
Zhao Yushu was shocked: "Is it so serious?"
"Of course it's not that serious, but after I said that, isn't Mr. Zhao a little proud?"
Zhao Yushu's face turned dark. This woman still loved playing tricks on him as always.
"Okay, it's still early before noon, we can sit down now and have a good chat about what happened to you in Yuezhou."
Lan Ling put the hairpin on her head, and she instantly felt brighter.
"Does it look good?"
"nice."
"Well, I'm also very curious about what happened to you along the way. Why don't you tell me first?"
"Then I'll go first."
The two of them just sat in the yard. A-Dong sneaked in with a pot of tea, pretending to deliver water, and sat with Hei Lu.
After Lan Ling implicitly expressed that she could be trusted, Zhao Yushu asked Adong to pour him a bowl of tea, and then began to tell them in detail about the earth-shaking things he had done in recent days.
When he talked about how he had made a great name for himself in Chang'an under the pseudonym Bai Jintang, Hei Lu and A Dong's eyes widened. Lan Ling listened to the couplets he made and smiled without saying a word.
When talking about the prince who was killed by him in Taizong's mausoleum (actually it was the little Taoist priest who did it), Hei Lu was fascinated by the divine horses, while Lan Ling was curious whether she could really become the emperor if she could get the sword of the emperor.
When talking about the first half of the lives of the two big men he had experienced in the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, Hei Lu's brain could no longer keep up, and A Dong lost his awe of the inner scene. There was nothing he could do, just like a poor man, one hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money, but one million taels of silver is nothing to him; and Lan Ling asked Master Zi Xiao with a sly smile whether he had a homosexual relationship with Long Yang, and was glared at by Zhao Yu Shu.
Speaking of Prince Fu who was alone in the palace and died together with the emperor holding his sister's spirit tablet, the three listeners sighed in unison. The imperial family was the most ruthless. Who would have thought that Prince Fu, the most noble person in the world, was such a loyal and affectionate man?
Then he talked about how he killed his way all the way from Dongdu to Xiangzhou, with countless heads rolling and blood flowing like a river. When Lan Ling knew that her father had sent people to Xiangcheng, her face looked a little unnatural. She was very smart and naturally knew that her father had gone to take her dowry, but this dowry was won by Zhao Yushu, which felt a little weird.
"Then, I ran all the way here. The family of the Xiangzhou spearman and swordsman is still behind. You can arrange some work for them when the time comes, so that we can have a complete conclusion."
Lan Ling nodded: "It's winter soon, and Adong's grandfather may be too busy to take care of it. It's better to let them help take care of the patients first. Adong, you have been lazy for so long, why don't you go and help?"
A-Dong stuck out his tongue and pulled up Black Deer: "Brother Lu, come and help too!"
Black Deer followed with a silly grin. Zhao Yushu smiled and said, "This silly boy is so lucky. Okay, now that everyone has left, what do you want to ask?"
Lan Ling glanced at the gate and said, "I can't hide it from you. I can't see through your cultivation, but your aura is stronger than in Chang'an. You didn't say when you made another step forward."
Zhao Yushu raised a finger in front of her eyes: "Don't blink."
Green light surged, and for the first time Lan Ling couldn't hide her shock and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
Another expressionless Zhao Yushu stood beside him. Both of them were at the sixth level of cultivation, but one was cold and the other was laughing foolishly.
"Put it away quickly!" Lan Ling waved her hands hurriedly. Zhao Yushu took Kunwu back into his body and told him what happened in the back mountain of the Yuan family.
Lan Ling covered her forehead and said, "Since I met you, more miracles have happened to you than I have read in books. What do I mean by witnessing a legend with my own eyes?"
Zhao Yushu said seriously, "Without you, even if I didn't die on Jiufeng Mountain, I would have died in the granary outside Nanyang City. You are half of this legend."
"Bah! You're not ashamed." Lan Ling blushed and turned her head away.
"Okay, I've finished talking about my story. Now it's your turn. You were fine when you went to Chang'an before, so how did you end up under house arrest today?"
Lan Ling sighed and said again: "It's a long story."
This clinic has a great connection with Sanniang. The owner, Adong's grandfather, is the younger brother of the old helmsman who died in Nanyang that day.
Strictly speaking, Lan Ling's father killed the owner's brother, so they had a blood feud.
However, the owner of the inn was very open-minded and thought that her brother's death was worthy. She even admired Lan Ling's decisiveness and righteous deeds outside Nanyang City. She and Sanniang stayed here together, helping to save people on weekdays and learning some medical skills by the way.
Logically speaking, this kind of life could last for a long time. The Red Lotus Cult also welcomed and respected Lan Ling's arrival, and everything was peaceful.
Until the two capitals were separated.
The Red Lotus Sect decisively and wisely chose to temporarily cease hostilities and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between the two tigers. The Tang Dynasty was divided into two. As long as the fighting between the two capitals continued, the Red Lotus Sect could almost certainly sit firmly on half of the country. As long as the Tang court was not careful, the Red Lotus Sect could sweep across the river and establish a new dynasty.
Although the armed fighting stopped, the verbal fighting became more intense. Spies from the three parties surfaced one after another, went deep into the top management of each company and used intimidation and inducement, using endless means.
At this time, Lan Ling, who should have been ignored, was suddenly put on the table. How could he ignore the only daughter of the Nanyang prefect?
The location of Nanyang is too important. As long as Lan Rong surrenders, they can immediately join forces with Jingzhou to attack from the north and south and capture Xiangzhou. From then on, the Red Lotus Cult has a nail deeply embedded in the north of the Yangtze River, and this nail can point directly to the Eastern Capital in the north and lock down Xijing in the west.
It would be fine if there was nothing we could do about such an important position, but now that we have the prefect's beloved daughter in our hands, how can we let Nanyang fall into the hands of others?
If you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences!
No one knew what the top leaders of the Red Lotus Cult were thinking, but the local leaders in Yuezhou took decisive measures. They tried to persuade them at first, and when that didn't work, they did not hesitate and directly placed them under house arrest.
If Zhao Yushu hadn't come yet, Lan Ling's words might not have been a joke. After exhausting Yuezhou's patience, things might really get dangerous.
All crows are black.
Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a chill.
