Chapter 402 Subconscious
There is no one in the yard.
Although Zhao Yushu's luck is good, it is not so amazing that clues will be automatically delivered to him wherever he goes. It was already a rare opportunity for him to hear the conversation between the two people here yesterday.
However, Zhao Yushu's purpose of coming here was not to try his luck.
With a whoosh, the small charcoal stove was lit. Zhao Yushu took a pot of water from the water tank and boiled it, then took out tea leaves and made himself a pot of tea.
A pot and a cup were placed on the table, and then Zhao Yushu went straight out of the yard.
A soft whistle was heard, and the patrolling yamen runners nearby were all startled and hurried over here.
They watched helplessly as a man in a black robe jumped down from the helmsman's courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Yushu rushed back to the clinic as quickly as possible, put all the props back to Lan Ling, and then went back to the government office without stopping. Under the almost neurotic gaze of Old Jiang, he put away Kunwu and replaced it with himself.
In just an incense stick of time, Zhu Xian, with a frosty face, rushed over with the patrolling yamen runners.
Old Jiang didn't sleep at all. He was a little uneasy all night, and his spiritual sense scanned the entire courtyard almost every few breaths, just in case something happened that he himself didn't know about.
The moment Zhu Xian came in, Old Jiang opened the door to greet him.
"Master Zhu, what's wrong?"
"Protector Jiang, what's going on here?"
Old Jiang frowned and said, "Master Zhu, you came to see me. Shouldn't you tell me what happened? It's fine here."
Zhu Xian's question clearly showed that he did not trust him, but Old Jiang, a master of the eighth level, responded bluntly.
Zhu Xian realized that there was something wrong with his tone and hurriedly explained: "Protector Jiang misunderstood. The night patrol just reported that a man in a black robe was found at the helmsman's house. The man ran away when he saw them. They left a few people to guard and sent someone to report to me. I just came back from there."
Guardian Jiang was stunned: "The man in black robe? The captain's body is still warm, who is so bold? What is he doing in the captain's house!"
"He made a pot of tea, seemed to drink a cup there and then left. Guardian Jiang, is there any movement from Zhao Yushu?"
"I didn't make any noise, but Lord Zhu made quite a lot of noise, disturbing people's sleep."
With a creak, the door opened, Zhao Yushu stretched and walked out, looked at the moon whose outline was obscured by the dark clouds, and then looked at Zhu Xian: "Master Zhu, you don't think that I hid it from Elder Jiang, put on the so-called black robe, and went to the captain's house to drink a cup of tea, right?"
This sentence sounds like a joke, but there is only one type of person who will not think it is a joke.
Yinsi.
Back then in Xiangzhou, a man in black robe assisted Zhao Yushu, or rather, Zhao Yushu assisted the man in black robe in defeating Jin Chongyun, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect. This news was passed on to the ears of the chief priest through Duan Tiezhu.
The underworld's plan in Xiangzhou failed miserably, and not even a single person escaped intact. They will definitely try their best to review what happened in Xiangzhou.
There is a high probability that the chief priest leaked this crucial information.
Therefore, Zhao Yushu was locked up in Yuezhou, while a mysterious man in black robe was still wandering beyond everyone's sight, which would make the people in the underworld terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
You have to know that this person is a master who was able to kill the veteran Ninth Heaven Master Jin Chongyun, and there is a high probability that he has reached the Great Perfection in the External Scene.
If the Red Lotus Cult had not reached a cooperation with the Underworld, then it would be impossible for the Underworld's interior to exist in Yuezhou, because the Red Lotus Cult would definitely have an interior secretly stationed, and people from the Underworld would not dare to come.
This mysterious man in black robe who has achieved great perfection in external scenery is the strongest fighting force in Yuezhou City.
The people of the Red Lotus Cult will regard him as the initiator of the whole plan, while the underworld will regard him as Zhao Yushu's trump card.
The three forces of the underworld, the Red Lotus Sect, and the Academy will be wary of each other from now on, and everyone will be in danger.
Zhao Yushu took advantage of this information gap and turned the disadvantage into a victory.
As long as Zhao Yushu can maintain this situation well, he can last until the Red Lotus Sect Leader returns.
Zhu Xian heard what Zhao Yushu said, and realized that this guy was doing it on purpose, trying to sow discord between him and Old Jiang. He immediately snorted, "I am just worried that this person coming to the government office will be bad for Mr. Liu, so I came to see him. Since everyone is fine, I will leave now."
Zhu Xian was just about to leave when Zhu Huo rushed in from outside the door and almost tripped him.
"Dad! I looked for you all over the place. Mom said you went to the helmsman's house. I finally caught up with you!"
"How can you yell so loudly?" Zhu Xian held down his son who was running out of breath and said, "What's the matter?"
"That man in black robe appeared on Folding Fan Street!"
Zhu Xian opened his eyes and said, "What black-robed man?"
Zhu Huo gasped, "He's dressed in black, with his face covered, and his spiritual power is very strong, very strong!"
Zhu Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
A group of people left in a hurry. Old Jiang looked back at Zhao Yushu and said, "Mr. Liu, why did this man in black robe show up in public when the situation is so tense?"
Zhao Yushu touched his chin and said, "I think he is provoking me."
"Provocation? Why?"
"Let the situation become more chaotic. After all, it is easier to fish in turbulent waters."
Old Jiang nodded, not quite understanding, and then touched his head which was almost the same size as Bujie's. "I am not good at thinking of these conspiracies and tricks. Forget it, I just need to keep an eye on you. It's still early in the morning, Mr. Liu, do you want to go back and get some sleep?"
"Of course. I hope Mr. Zhu can gain something. I also hope that he won't bother me again before dawn."
Of course Zhu Xian could not gain anything. He deduced through the testimonies of several parties that the mysterious man in black robe first went to Zheshan Street, left immediately after being discovered by his son, and then went to the helmsman's house.
His son's words made Zhu Xian fall into deep thought.
"Didn't your parents tell you who I am? Go back and ask your parents."
Should I know who he is?
Could this person be a member of the Red Lotus Sect?
What was he doing at the captain's house? Was he related to the captain?
Zhu Xian could no longer sit still, so he rushed to the Red Lotus branch overnight and woke up the other two guardians.
Things are becoming more and more chaotic. If not handled properly, the Red Lotus Cult may be forced to go to war with the academy. No matter what, the situation must be suppressed until the leader returns.
The sky was just getting light and Zhao Yushu opened the door. It was a bit foggy today.
"Mr. Liu, why don't you get some sleep? There's nothing else to do."
Old Jiang was practicing a set of slow and weird sword techniques in the yard, which reminded Zhao Yushu of the old men who practiced Tai Chi sword in groups in the park in his previous life.
"Which sword technique do you use? When I learned Shushan sword technique, it felt similar to yours."
Fortunately, Old Jiang didn't know that when Zhao Yushu practiced Shushan swordsmanship, he was evaluated as a mess of moves. Now he thought that Mr. Liu was praising him.
"Haha, I learned to play with some old Taoist priests a few years ago. I can't sleep because of my age, so I just play a few times when I have nothing to do. Alas, the weather is getting colder and colder. Fortunately, it won't snow in the south for a while, otherwise the road will be difficult to travel, and the leader will have to delay for a few days."
Zhao Yushu was puzzled: "I thought the leader must be an inner scene, so why are you afraid that the road will be difficult to walk on?"
"It's not like the leader is coming back alone. They should be close to Pengze. It will only take ten days at most for the leader to come back."
"Yes, when the leader comes back..."
Zhao Yushu paused and frowned.
Why, it seems that everyone, whether it is the Red Lotus Sect, myself, or even the actions of the underworld, seem to think that it would be fine if the leader came back?
