Chapter 439: Being Recruited
At the Baima Academy in Dongdu, Wei You was holding a letter with his brows twisted into a knot, which made him look even uglier with his closed eyes.
"Don't tell me something happened again. No one who ran away from the academy is worry-free. I have secretly run around most of the Tang Dynasty these days. My legs are broken. Hey, why can't I blow out this smoke ring perfectly?"
Gu Changfeng slumped on a soft couch in an ungraceful manner, watching the tobacco in the pipe becoming less and less, but the smoke ring could never form a perfect circle, and he felt a little anxious.
"What's the matter this time?"
Unexpectedly, there were not only two brothers here, but also a woman sitting by the window, reading a notebook carefully.
Princess Li Tong.
Even a smart man like Wei You had to admit that he had benefited a lot from the princess' suggestions on some major issues since she moved into the academy. After all, he was the only one who used his brain in the Tianji Pavilion of the entire academy. He usually didn't even have anyone to help him, and he had to take care of a group of fellow disciples who would kill people at any time. It was really tiring.
So Li Tong obtained the right to freely enter and exit the top floor of the Book Tower.
"Yuezhou, but he is not one of ours. This letter was sent by Feijian to Li Jian. When he entered Dongdu, our people got it and copied a copy."
Li Tong paused as she turned the page: "Mr. Liu got into trouble again?"
"Hey girl, you have a prejudice against Lao Liu!"
Gu Changfeng took the last puff of his cigarette reluctantly, then helplessly blew out another failed smoke ring, feeling quite dissatisfied.
Wei You laughed: "It counts, and it doesn't count. This letter said that Yuezhou was suddenly locked down, and it is suspected that the leader was assassinated."
Gu Changfeng sat up with a plop: "Who organized Li Jian's spies? Are they so useless?"
"it's me······"
Li Tong blushed: "But I haven't taken care of it for a long time."
Gu Changfeng immediately turned to Wei You: "So, what happened?"
"Combined with the last letter sent by Junior Brother, the lockdown of Yuezhou was partly to deal with Master Yan Hui, and partly to deal with you."
Wei You looked at Gu Changfeng: "The leader of the Red Lotus Sect may not intend to hand over Junior Brother, but he must have decided to turn against the academy. Considering the current situation faced by the Red Lotus Sect, I'm afraid that this leader is closely related to the underworld."
"how do I say this?"
Gu Changfeng subconsciously moved his legs and looked like he was about to run again.
"The Red Lotus Cult has strong secular power and is supported by the people. Frankly speaking, he has done much better than the two princes of our Li family."
Li Tong stood up and poured a cup of tea for each of the two academy bosses. "But they only have two inner scenes. Even if there are hidden ones, there are at most three or four. If the leader doesn't have the underworld behind him, he won't open the formation to lock the city, but will directly take Mr. Liu back to Dongdu. For the sake of face, the academy has to block Yan Hui's threats no matter what he uses."
"By doing this, he is directly making enemies with Yan Hui and the academy. The underworld won't be so confident."
Yinsi had come close to success once before, but if it were a head-on confrontation, even if Yinsi's five or six inner scenes came together, they might not be a match for the old man in his prime.
Wei You and Li Tong looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
"Speak out your thoughts. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. I want to know what the possible results are."
"Mr. San, you go ahead and speak."
Wei You nodded: "The best outcome is that they are sure to take down either you or Yan Hui head-on."
"What's the worst?"
"In the worst case scenario, they can eat you and Yan Hui together."
Zhao Yushu looked at the fiery red formation covering Yuezhou and was still somewhat puzzled.
"How can a turtle shell kill people?"
Apart from threatening his own life, Zhao Yushu couldn't think of any way the leader could force Boss Gu to break into the formation. The formation required the leader to hide inside to open it. Apart from the leader, who else in Yuezhou could leave him powerless to resist?
A religious mother-in-law?
Dharma Protector Wang?
Lan Ling?
The leader sacrificed himself in order to open the Red Lotus Formation. Who else can he send to do things for him outside?
Who is that red mask? Is he from Yuezhou City, or is he really a pure outsider?
The result that Zhao Yushu fears the most is that the red mask, or the current red mask, is Yang He.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sanniang walked into the yard and handed him a note: "Zhu Huo has sent a letter."
Now, a whole day and night has passed since the search began. Zhu Huo would send back the intelligence he had screened every once in a while, listing all the suspicious people and reasons.
I have to say, this guy is indeed a character.
However, early on the third day, Zhu Huo sent another note. The note was very short, but it made Zhao Yushu unable to sit still.
"I feel a little unwell, come quickly."
Zhu Huo is a good second-generation with many flaws, but he is not a pure playboy. Based on his father's good teaching, his abilities are relatively good among all the second-generations. It can also be said that there are very few useless second-generations who can make a name for themselves in this world, especially mortals.
At the same time, Zhu Huo is also a very strong-willed person. Facing Yang He and Zhao Yushu, two gifted children, he tries hard not to bow his head easily. This kind of tough guy will not be easily defeated by a little discomfort.
Something happened to Zhu Huo.
Zhao Yushu rushed to the government office as soon as possible, and Zhu Huo was there now.
"Zhao Yushu."
Zhu Huo was sitting in a closed room, surrounded by Hengjiang Archers, the top archers trained by the Red Lotus Cult over several years. Under the powerful bows and crossbows of hundreds of archers, not to mention mortals, even low-level cultivators had to avoid their sharp edges.
Seeing Zhao Yushu coming in, Zhu Huo stood up from his chair, his face flushed frighteningly.
"what happened to you?"
Zhao Yushu looked at Zhu Huo who was trying hard to suppress his chaotic aura. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was fluctuating obviously, and even Zhao Yushu, an outsider with little common sense, could see it.
Zhu Huo is about to come to his senses.
If it was a normal awakening, it would be a great thing, but Zhao Yushu knew that this was not normal.
“I might have been tricked.”
Zhu Huo laughed miserably: "Someone put drugs in my tea, and I have already caught the person. Ha, according to what you said, I still have a few days to live, but I will lose my mind soon, right?"
Zhao Yushu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Why are you looking so stinky? I'm just going to become a monk. Don't you feel happy if I can be a monk for two days?"
"Red Fire..."
"That man wanted to commit suicide, but I held him down. You were too soft-hearted to do it, so I came to interrogate him while I was still conscious. I called you here just to tell you to promise me one thing."
Zhao Yushu tightened his fingers and said, "I once forced a cultivator who was forced to advance to the fifth level back to the fourth level. If you want, I can try again."
A gleam of light flashed in Zhu Huo's eyes: "Are you sure?"
"No, and he is a monk, his body is much better than yours. If I force you, the most likely result is that I will break your tendons and veins, and you will become a cripple."
The light in Zhu Huo's eyes disappeared instantly: "For someone like me, becoming a useless person is worse than death, right?"
Zhao Yushu lowered his head.
"You know what I want you to promise, right?"
"Lord Zhu and your mother will know that you are a martyr."
"it is good."
