Chapter 464 Catching the Wind
Lan Rong did not give Zhao Yushu his answer. Perhaps he had not yet figured out what decision to make.
"Let's have a good New Year. If you have time, ask Mr. San. If the academy has any ideas, they are Nanyang's ideas."
The academy really needs to have some ideas. If it were just a dispute between the two capitals, it would be barely understandable for you to remain neutral. But now that foreign races have invaded Nanfang, if you still remain neutral, you might as well find some deep mountains and old forests to entertain yourself.
After staying in Nanyang for more than ten days, news came from Dongdu that the house for the young lady had been prepared.
After meeting with some old acquaintances including Wang Buzhi a few times, it was time to say goodbye.
"Your father is quite greedy. I heard from Uncle Zhang that the house in Dongdu is not small and is close to the academy."
"Pah, the money was raised from the Yuan family in Xiangcheng, and several local wealthy families in Nanyang divided it up. There wasn't much left for my father."
The Yuan family, the nine brothers of the Yuan family were almost wiped out by Lao Zhao because of their greed. The only one who survived has now become Lan Rong's power bank.
The Yuan family's property was divided among everyone, and the deeply hidden treasure house was also dug out by Lao Zhang. Lan Rong was indeed generous to his daughter. Although the treasures that were previously found from the big monster in Yunmengze were all crushed in the fight against Honglian, after returning to her parents' home, Lan Ling's storage bag was full again.
"We are at Longmen ahead. Let's go find Bujie and treat him to a meal. I don't know how greedy he is lately. Let's ask him to go to Yuezhou."
"Cure?"
"Yes, let's see if the Dragon Ball can replenish his life span."
"I hope so."
Although the war spread to the entire Tang Dynasty, Longmen was as peaceful and prosperous as ever. After all, it was not a place that military strategists must fight for. Although it looked more like the gateway to Dongdu and was one of the eight passes of Dongdu thousands of years ago, with the prosperity of Buddhism and a thousand years of peace, it lost its military significance.
The main part of the Mirage Temple has been repaired.
I don’t know if it’s because there are too many believers here, or if the Bujie Society is trying to create momentum, but such a new temple is actually crowded with pilgrims in the fiercely competitive Longmen.
Bujie listened to Zhao Yushu's stories in Yuezhou with great interest, wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, and ate with relish.
"What a pity! If I were here, I might have had some opportunities."
"What kind of opportunity can you get? Can you beat the leader?"
“That lotus may have a connection with Buddhism, which means it has a connection with me.”
Lan Ling and Zhao Yushu looked up at the same time. How could this monk be more narcissistic than Zhao Yushu?
"What a coincidence! I left the lotus there. After you finish your meal today, go back and make some arrangements and then go over there to see if you have a connection with it. I'll write a letter for you to take with you, and by the way, I'll ask Lao Yang to give you a dragon ball to try."
Bujie nodded: "If it can be cured, that would be the best. If it can be cured and still maintain its current appearance, that would be even better."
Zhao Yushu frowned and looked at Bujie's frail appearance: "Where is good?"
"Compared to young monks, this makes them look more like enlightened monks, and donors are more willing to give them more money."
Zhao Yushu gave a thumbs up, saying, "You are worthy of me."
"Some Liao people came to Longmen recently."
Bujie gave a piece of information: "Although they are all dressed like Tang people and their accents are very similar, when they worship Buddha, haha, there is still a hint in their movements. Master and I have seen Liao people kowtow to Changshengtian before, and some of their small movements are very similar."
Zhao Yushu nodded: "The Liao people are heading south, it seems they are not just borrowing troops, brother, be careful."
"I am fine. When I return from Yuezhou, I will visit the Dabei Temple."
"What are you going to do at Dabei Temple?"
Bujie took out a book and said, "I have made some achievements, but I still need to verify some of the obstacles."
The laws of heaven and earth.
Zhao Yushu took the book. Bujie's talent was terrifying. In just a few months, he had already made some progress in learning the unique skills of the Great Compassion Temple.
After having a good meal and a good drink, the three men said goodbye solemnly and went their separate ways.
The Eastern Capital is within sight.
"Is there a person standing on the tower?"
Lan Ling put her hands on the pergola and looked at the towering city gate of Dongdu from afar, not quite sure.
Zhao Yushu curled his lips and said, "Although I can't see clearly, if there is someone standing there pretending to be cool, it must be Boss Gu."
Gu Changfeng smiled and waved to the two of them.
The welcoming banquet was held in the academy and there were many people coming. The chief priest brought his two disciples and his daughter and was considered the host. Old Ge brought his three brothers and sisters-in-law and was considered the family. Aunt Yun brought Mo'er and Wanqing. What was rare was that Boss Shen also came with his beloved son Qixing. What surprised Zhao Yushu the most was that Princess Li Tong was also present and her seat was not low.
Rulan and Moer sat together, and the looks they gave Lan Ling were not at all friendly. The two girls lived together every day and had long been of one mind, while the princess's expression was mostly one of amusement.
"Hahahaha, the weather in Dongdu is as good as ever. It's snowing in Jiangnan, but it's still sunny here. It's a bit hot, haha."
Zhao Yushu wiped his forehead. The atmosphere felt a little strange.
"It's rare that Lao Liu can come back safely. Let's not talk about other things today. It's time to eat. After dinner, my girl, you should prepare a place for Miss Lan to stay."
Wen Jijiu was the most senior, so he immediately made the decision. Gu's sister-in-law, Wen Jijiu's eldest daughter, quickly agreed. Unexpectedly, Lan Ling laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Jijiu. My father has already bought a house for me. It's not far from the academy. Knowing that Yushu has several elders and brothers and sisters, he specially asked my father to get a bigger one. We are all family, so it's better for us to live together."
Ji Leng and A Yao looked at each other, then at Zhao Yushu, wondering if they should say thank you to their sister-in-law now? Zhao Yushu was eating his meal in silence, and he could ask them to chop people, but he could just forget about dealing with these things.
Mr. Ge smiled and nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Lan Ling's arrangement.
"I, I still want to live with Mo'er."
Rulan quickly expressed her position.
"Then Miss Mo'er can also move in with us."
Lan Ling smiled and looked at Mo'er.
"No need, Rulan's courtyard is fine."
Mo'er's face was as cold as ice.
"Is that so? In that case, I won't force you. The door is always open anyway. You can come over whenever you want. You don't need to ask for permission."
It was unclear whether Lan Ling was calling Rulan or Mo'er "sister", but once the words came out, both of them were speechless. Under the pressure of her brother's authority, Rulan had to bow her head and say thank you.
After all, Lan Ling grew up in an official family. When it comes to controlling the situation, she is not on the same level as the two little girls.
"Ahem, um, Jijiu, I see the academy still hasn't started classes. Will there be any problems if it takes too long?"
Zhao Yushu changed the subject.
“Classes will resume after the New Year.”
Wen Jijiu stroked his beard and said, "The two emperors are making a mess, and I don't intend to indulge them. As for those scholars, if they want to come to Bai Ma, they can come to Bai Ma. If they want to go to Chang'an, they can go to Chang'an. What their parents think, what the emperors of the two capitals think, is up to them. This is an academy, not a government office!"
Zhao Yushu clapped his hands, loudly praising Wen Jijiu for his domineering attitude, and then immediately toasted him with a glass of wine: "What does the Fourth Prince of Liao say?"
Wen Jijiu glared at him, feeling that his words about just eating were completely ignored.
"I have to tell you about this."
