Chapter 405 Borrowing Troops
After returning to the courtyard safely, Zhao Yushu stroked the wound, which had already scabbed over due to the power of the mountain god. In an hour at most, not even the scar would be visible. He lay in bed, unable to sleep.
The leader of the Red Lotus Sect sent a very powerful person to Yuezhou overnight. This leader Yang is definitely not only powerful in martial arts.
In terms of military force, there are at least three guardians and one inner scene. His coming is just icing on the cake, but the leader obviously wants to provide timely assistance.
Considering that he saw through his hiding place today, the other party's strength at least includes finding people.
The leader wants to catch this mysterious man in black.
Are there still grades for the fleeting glimpses? Did the academy only get the lowest grade? As a disciple of the academy, my face is a little red. I will write back to ask if there are any left.
I don't know if my reputation as the Saint Thief will spread to Longhu Mountain. When the little Taoist priest hears about it, will he rush over to ask me for Chengying overnight? I wonder if this silly boy saw me using Chengying when I was in the imperial mausoleum?
You didn't see it but pretended not to know.
Captain Yang did not enjoy the welcoming banquet very much. After taking a few quick bites, he made an excuse that he could not eat anymore in the middle of the night and went straight back to the room he had specially cleaned to rest.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean, but he couldn't fall asleep.
I couldn't even leave behind a sixth level of heaven!
The Fleeting Shadows technique is extremely unpopular and difficult to practice. I have been able to practice it to this level thanks to my special physique and the help of the leader. This is the result after obtaining two complete volumes of the technique.
It was obvious that the opponent had only practiced the yellow-level introductory scroll. He had enough mobility but not enough speed, and he didn't know the most critical move. Unfortunately, the sword energy at the opponent's fingertips was so terrifying today that he didn't dare to be distracted and had no time to use that move.
The Thief Saint, isn’t he just a thief? How can you call him the Thief Saint? Humph!
Captain Yang became angrier the more he thought about it and couldn't sleep all night.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Yushu was called up.
"Master Zhu, you are not young anymore. Can you bear this every day?"
Zhao Yushu yawned and looked at Zhu Xian, who had dark circles under his eyes. It must be not an easy job to be a garrison commander.
"Sir, please stop joking. I am here today to introduce you to a talented person from my school."
After he finished speaking, he turned to the side, and a young man in a red robe came over from behind him. He pulled down his hood, revealing the handsome face of Captain Yang.
"Who is this handsome guy?"
Captain Yang wondered what the word "handsome guy" meant, but it should be a good word, and he couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards Mr. Six of the academy.
"My name is Yang He. I am the current leader of the Qiantang branch."
"Qiantang has been taken?" Zhao Yushu was stunned.
Yang He was a little embarrassed: "It's only a matter of time. Once we take it down, the leader will be crowned emperor, and Qiantang will be the capital of our Red Lotus Sect!"
"Captain Yang, be careful with your words!" Zhu Xian suddenly stopped him, and then turned to Zhao Yushu: "Captain Yang has always been by the leader's side and is deeply trusted by the leader. When the rebellion started, he promised to make Captain Yang the leader of Qiantang."
Oh, the prince of the Red Lotus Sect! Yes, much better than the one in Xijing.
Zhao Yushu suddenly wanted to ask if your leader had no children, but he was afraid he would get beaten if he asked.
However, Qiantang is not particularly suitable as the capital, it is not as good as Jiangning.
"Haha, Captain Yang is young and promising. Congratulations. What do you want from me?"
Yang He stepped forward and bowed: "Mr. Liu is famous all over the world, Yang is not as good as him, I must find an opportunity to learn from him some other day."
As a courtesy, Zhao Yushu also bowed in return, and then Yang He and Zhu Xian looked at the back of their hands.
Very smooth.
Zhu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang He shook his head slightly without comment.
With Protector Jiang watching over Zhao Yushu, there was no way he could sneak away quietly and become a thief.
It seems that there really is a man in black robe outside.
Zhao Yushu couldn't help but admire Captain Yang's sharpness. Even without any evidence, the other party still chose to come here to find out the truth. This mentality of not letting go of any possibility would be very difficult to deal with if he were an enemy.
He believed that if he went out again tonight, he would definitely be stopped by Yang He.
"Master Zhu, I want to borrow someone from you."
Yang He suddenly spoke.
Zhu Xian was stunned for a moment and said, "If there is anyone capable in the government office, Captain Yang, please feel free to use him."
Yang He laughed: "I want to borrow Mr. Liu."
Zhu Xian's face changed, and Zhao Yushu's face also changed.
"Captain Yang, Zhao Yushu is now a suspect in the murder of the old captain, so it's better not to act rashly."
Yang He smiled slightly: "It can't be said to be a light move. I fought with the man in black robe last night. If this man is the murderer of the old helmsman and he put the blame on Mr. Liu, and let Mr. Liu come forward, maybe he can lure this man out."
Zhu Xian shook his head: "What if he is Mr. Liu's friend?"
"That's even better. We can kill two birds with one stone. Mr. Liu, do you think I'm right?"
Zhao Yushu laughed: "Exactly, letting me out is really a brilliant move."
Zhu Xian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yang He: "I have heard of Mr. Liu's name in Qiantang area. Such a person was forcibly locked up in such a small courtyard at a time when people's hearts were in turmoil. If outsiders knew about this, they would think that we, the Red Lotus Sect, dare not face the murderer who killed the old helmsman openly. If Mr. Zhu is afraid that I can't keep an eye on him alone, you can ask Protector Jiang to come along as well."
Jiang Lao shuddered, remembering how he had been so suspicious that he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in the past two nights. He waved his hands hastily, "I'm old, and I can't stand you young people tossing me around."
Although Zhu Xian was the governor of Yuezhou, his status was obviously inferior to that of Yang, the prince with a promising future. However, Zhu Xian was indeed a very good official. When he saw that things were not going as he expected, he changed his tone almost without hesitation.
"With Captain Yang here, I have nothing to worry about. Since Captain Yang has made up his mind, all the people in the government office will be under his command."
Yang He was very satisfied with Zhu Xian's performance: "Since Lord Zhu said so, then I do have another person to borrow."
"Who?"
"Master Zhu's son, Zhu Huo."
Zhu Xian looked up suddenly, looking stunned.
Zhao Yushu was released and followed Yang He with his hands behind his back. On the other side was the confused Zhu Huo.
"Mr. Zhu, I've been away from Yuezhou for too long. I don't know where to get a good breakfast. Let's go have breakfast first. The most important thing is that it's clean."
Zhu Huo thought for a moment and said, "That's easy to say. Just follow me."
Yang He smiled and turned to look at Zhao Yushu: "Mr. Liu, do you know why I want to let you out?"
Zhao Yushu spread his hands and said, "I know. You just said it in the government office. But I didn't expect you to know how to transfer Zhu Huo so quickly."
Zhu Huo was stunned when he heard this and was a little confused.
Yang He's smile froze on his face: "As expected of Mr. Six."
Zhao Yushu chuckled: "It's not too late to regret now."
Yang He raised his head: "There are not many people who can make me regret."
