Chapter 468 Coincidence is also an opportunity
Speaking of which, Mr. Xue, it’s been nearly half a year, why can’t you change your habit of drinking in broad daylight?
When he was in Chang'an, the only two young people he knew were Zheng Pan, the prince's vanguard, and the other was this seemingly rough but actually meticulous young master Xue.
Not long after Young Master Xue met Zhao Yushu, he implicitly reminded him not to take sides easily, which greatly increased Zhao's favoritism towards him.
"Fanzi, you can speak Chinese, what's your name?"
Young Master Xue was lying on his side, and a beautiful girl beside him was pouring wine for him. She had no intention of letting Zhao Yushu sit down.
“Alibaba.”
"What the hell is this name? Never mind. I am too lazy to remember it. You said you are from Gumo?"
"Yes."
"You speak Chinese quite well."
"I have Tang ancestry. Although I have been wandering in the Western Regions, I have been learning Chinese since I was young. On the contrary, I don't know many words of Gumo language because no one teaches me."
Young Master Xue nodded and said, "That's right. It's been more than ten years since your Gumo country was destroyed. It's good enough that you can survive until now. What else do you want? I ask you a question. You answer it honestly. If you answer it well, Young Master will reward you."
"Yes."
Zhao Yushu became more and more confused. It seemed that Young Master Xue knew Gumo quite well. Perhaps he knew her better than Zhao Yushu did. He should not reveal the secret to him.
"Where is your princess?"
"Ok?"
Zhao Yushu was stunned. Princess, what princess? Wait a minute!
Damn, no wonder!
The bullet of childhood hits right between my eyebrows now!
"The princess is still alive!?"
The time has come to test his acting skills. Zhao Yushu took a step forward with an excited expression.
Two burly men in blue immediately stood between him and Young Master Xue, each holding down Old Zhao's shoulders with one hand.
Young Master Xue's eyes revealed an undisguised disappointment, and he waved his hand to let his men go.
"Looking at you, you have indeed been wandering for too long, but you are also a loyal man. I have good news for you. Your princess is still alive, but there is bad news. She used to live in this building, but she suddenly disappeared a few days ago. This young master comes here every now and then to see if she has returned. Alas, back then, Brother Bai and I teamed up to beat the three of you Gumo warriors to a pulp. We were famous in Chang'an, but now Brother Bai is also missing. Alas, life is full of regrets."
Young Master Xue's shameless boasting will probably turn into a battle between him and three Gumo warriors soon. Then he will kiss Mei Ji on the face with deep affection, throw out a silver ingot and tell Zhao Yushu to get out.
From Young Master Xue, Zhao Yushu learned that the Hu princess he met here that day was Princess Gumo. This princess had disappeared, and Wei You had arranged an identity for himself as a Gumo person. It would be unbelievable if he were to say that there was no connection at all.
Zhao Yushu felt that Wei You was playing chess, and this game was probably not small.
Once we get to Jiannan Road, these questions will naturally have answers. Now I should find an opportunity to mess with Li Huan.
Qiulong made a fixed version of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains map in the palace, and if you force your way in, you'll be rewarded.
It is unrealistic to lure Li Huan out and kill him in just two or three days. This guy probably won't leave the palace even if the sky falls.
The idea of scaring the emperor was a spur-of-the-moment one, and Zhao Yushu didn't have any particularly rigorous plan. After lunch in Siyue Pavilion and drinking two glasses of wine, he was just about to give up if it didn't work when a figure rushed in at the gate with great momentum.
"Xue Gu!"
Following the shout, Zhao Yushu heard the sound of something heavy falling above his head. As expected, it was Young Master Xue rolling off the couch.
A woman in tight clothes walked in from the front door, pushed away Aunt Xu who was trying to greet her with a shy face, looked around, glanced at Zhao Yushu, and then looked towards the second floor.
Young Master Xue poked his head out and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
"go home!"
The woman threw down two words and turned to leave.
"No, you should at least tell me what's going on. Even if I get beaten up, I have to know how to beat you, right?"
"His Majesty has held a banquet and asked Dad to go. Dad asked us to go along to see the world, go back and pack up, and then go to the banquet in the evening."
Zhao Yushu's ears moved, and he sat down again when he was about to stand up. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip without saying a word.
Miss Xue is making such a big fuss about it, so this banquet must be no secret, and it may even be a kind of honor. You have to know that there are many children of officials in Siyue Pavilion now. If it is a secret, this girl would not shout like that no matter how bold she is.
And it certainly wasn’t a particularly important banquet, because the emperor actually allowed his subjects to bring their children with them.
A banquet with a large number of people and loose management, do I have a chance to sneak in?
I am just a mortal now. As long as I pay attention to the limits, I shouldn't attract other people's attention.
"I, I won't go. I feel uncomfortable when I enter the palace."
Young Master Xue shrank his head, leaving only a pair of eyes visible outside the guardrail.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Miss Xue obviously didn't want to have a good chat with this dissolute and useless brother. Her tone became obviously impatient within three sentences.
"Go back quickly!"
Miss Xue turned around and left. Young Master Xue wailed and walked downstairs reluctantly. Seeing that Zhao Yushu had not left yet, he pointed at him.
"Um, what's that Aba Aba?"
“Alibaba.”
"What do you care about? I have to go to the palace for a banquet. You just sit here and see if the princess comes back. If you have any news, go to Xue Mansion and tell me."
"I'm leaving right now."
Young Master Xue narrowed his eyes and said, "You, a foreigner, should understand your own identity. I am honoring you by letting you do this."
Zhao Yushu stood up and said, "I dare not. I just heard what you said, and I was wondering why the princess disappeared for no reason. This is the Tang Dynasty, the center of all nations, Chang'an. My Gumo has been destroyed. Even if the princess wants to leave, where can she go?"
Young Master Xue raised his head slightly, as if thinking about what the foreigner said.
"What did you think of?"
"I can't think of anything. If the princess left on her own, you would have found some clues long ago with your ability. I was wondering, if the princess didn't leave voluntarily, who could have taken her away without a trace? I just arrived in Chang'an, so I really don't know who those people are."
Young Master Xue opened his mouth and said, "You are not a fool. You just happen to think the same as me. Yes, I think so too. Chang'an is not small, but it's hard to keep it secret for a month or two without leaking a single word. Hmm..."
Young Master Xue seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously looked at the sun outside the door. It was still early, so maybe he could find some friends to show off, no, to discuss something.
Zhao Yushu bowed deeply and said, "I am terrified. Please tell me who has the ability to do this. I will sacrifice my life to save the princess from the sea of fire!"
Young Master Xue was stunned for a moment, smiled mockingly, ignored Zhao Yushu, and walked straight towards the door.
Then he suddenly stopped at the gate and said, "You are just a bastard, and you still want to touch my noble in Chang'an? I tell you, do you dare to go to the palace? This time, I will let you go because of your loyalty. If there is a next time, I will chop you to pieces!"
Zhao Yushu continued to bow and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Xue, I really need to go to the palace to make some noise. By the way, I'll use your mouth to make the second generation circle suspicious of the person in the palace. The majesty of the royal family is declining, and perhaps more people will take the opportunity to visit the palace tonight."
