Chapter 496: Lost Dog

Chapter 496: Lost Dog

"F-f--k!"

Zhao Yushu looked up at the sky. He had never been so shocked when he first entered Dongdu or Chang'an.

What shocked him was not the city's architecture, nor the prosperity and splendor of the largest city in the southwest.

But it is a giant sword hanging alone in the sky.

"Shushan, is he so domineering?"

The phantom of a giant sword can be seen in any corner of Yizhou, whether it is windy or rainy, day or night, as long as you are a cultivator and you look up, you can always see it.

The deterrent power brought by this sword is so strong that Lao Zhao thinks that even if he reaches the inner realm, he may not be able to withstand it.

This is a fucking space-based weapon, the rod of God.

This is definitely not a sound that can be created by an inner scene. It is very likely that Shushan has taken out something like the sect's treasure. Hmm, it must be another heavenly treasure, right? It can't be the legendary purple and green swords.

"Dear Third Senior Brother, I have successfully arrived at Yizhou City. Although there were some setbacks along the way, it was still smooth sailing. The dog emperor Li Huan was so scared by me that he almost peed his pants. The matter of the Liao people borrowing troops should be delayed for a few days. In addition, did you know that Prime Minister Di hired someone to kill someone? Yelu Yan has been killed by me. I encountered the goddess of the Bon religion and their Samantabhadra Tathagata at Jianmen Pass. I didn't lose, but I didn't win either. You can ask the monks from the Great Compassion Temple to come over."

Wei You's already small eyes narrowed even more, making Gu Changfeng doubt whether he could still see the letter.

"Something happened to Lao Liu?"

"No."

"Which inner scene did he offend again?"

"No."

"He wouldn't burn Yizhou, would he?"

Wei You raised his head and looked at the eldest senior brother: "Why do I feel like you seem quite excited?"

"No, I just saw how worried you were."

Gu Changfeng chuckled twice, sat back in the recliner, and blew out a smoke ring, as if it was not him who jumped up excitedly just now.

"My junior brother sent a letter back with his flying sword. I thought it was something big, but he just told me that he had arrived in Yizhou."

"Oh, it's just a small matter. Why waste so much money? That's not right. He should have arrived a long time ago. Why is he walking so slowly?"

Wei You sighed and handed over the letter. The ugly handwriting on it gave him a headache.

"He killed Yelu Yan, broke into the palace and scared Li Huan half to death. I was wondering why Chang'an was looking for assassins like crazy recently, and then fought with the goddess of Bon religion at Jianmen Pass."

Gu Changfeng exhaled deeply: "Why am I not surprised at all?"

"Let's think about how to deal with the Liao people first. Yelu Yan is dead. Originally, Prime Minister Di was going to take the blame himself, but he was killed by an unknown assassin. We have to change our original plan. Ha, how come Junior Brother received the order from the Ghost Market? It's strange."

Gu Changfeng's smile faded: "What are you and that Li Tong planning?"

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Gu Changfeng's eyes flickered for a moment, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"The world is unified."

Zhao Yushu's biggest dream after traveling through time is to become a good cultivator with a good status and a good life, with fertile land, a beautiful house and a lovely wife by his side. What more could a husband ask for?

If he knew that Third Senior Brother had entrusted him with the important task of unifying the world in his heart, no, in reality, he would only have a panicked expression.

I?

The letter has been sent back. Before the academy replies, I don’t have any special tasks for the time being.

Do you want to go and meet Senior Brother Wu?

Zhao Yushu stroked the big beard on his chin and asked, "What should I say when we meet? I saved your junior brother, and then let him run away. Well, my opponent was only at the fourth level, but I didn't get the upper hand."

Shameful.

Moreover, if I go to find people from Shushan myself, what if something happens to me in the city, will they help me or not?

It’s better not to bother them.

Counting the days, his forty thieves would arrive in Yizhou in five or six days. At a time when all the cultivators were being targeted by Sword Saint Dugu, an elite team of forty ferocious mortals following him, a scholar with a thousand faces who could disguise himself as a mortal at any time, would be of great help.

"This guest officer, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"

These days Yizhou is crowded with people of all foreign races, and the waiter even learned a few words of the foreign language.

"Stay in a hotel, get a, well, clean room, and bring some good food first, or more importantly, a bottle of good wine, and then go to bed after you're full."

"Okay, wait a moment, the good wine and food will be here soon."

Zhao Yushu found a table and sat down at random. He first looked for a base and then tried to find out what forces were in the city. Although his third senior brother was smart, he was thousands of miles away after all, and the information he got was only second-hand. He had to adapt to the situation when necessary, and it would be too late to wait for instructions.

As long as the general direction is consistent, the details can be arbitrary.

"My brother, among the thirty-six nations of the Western Regions, which nation are you from?"

A stiff Chinese voice came from the next table. Zhao Yushu turned around and saw two warriors dressed in Western costumes.

"The country is destroyed and the family is ruined. I am too ashamed to mention it again. Which country are you two brothers from?"

Zhao Yushu was cautious and did not reveal his identity first. What if the other party was also from Gumo, or had a feud with Gumo, that would be a big joke.

"We are the same. We are from Pishan, and we are all lost dogs. Let's have a bowl."

Zhao Yushu picked up the bowl and held it up: "Gumo, drink it."

After the wine went down his throat, Zhao Yushu let out a long breath: "If you don't mind, let's fight?"

"Come!"

The waiter hurriedly moved Zhao Yushu's food and wine over. The two Pishan warriors were obviously poorer, and the food and wine for two people were not as sumptuous as Zhao Yushu's alone.

"I am shameless and want to take advantage of you two brothers. I will not be polite to you two."

Zhao Yushu simply stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of the other person's dish, giving enough face to the two obviously embarrassed warriors.

"Hey, brother, please be righteous. After we finish the business and get the money, we will treat you to a drink."

Two foreigners working in Yizhou.

What can two warriors do?

Zhao Yushu looked at the scimitar on the other party's waist and laughed: "I'm lucky. I just finished a deal. I'll take a rest for two days. Waiter, bring some more wine and food. It's my treat today. When you two brothers have good business in the future, I'll introduce you to one or two."

Of course, Zhao Yushu would not directly ask people what kind of business they are doing. Although the people from the Western Regions are generous, they are not stupid. They are obviously doing business involving knives and guns. If you ask about it as soon as you meet them, who wouldn't be on guard against you?

"Brother, we are short of manpower."

"That's right, brother. We hit it off right away. We're both in the same boat. Now there's a good deal. Do you dare to do it?"

Zhao Yushu opened his mouth and said, "I just entered the city and you told me you were going to take me to kill people. I haven't even washed up yet."

"What's the good deal? How much money can I get?"

"Of course it's a business that involves using knives. The Tang people love internal fighting, but they also care about their reputation. There are some things they don't want to do themselves, so of course we have to do some of the dirty work. One night, fifty taels!"

Zhao Yushu's eyes widened. Fifty taels to buy your lives? Did I spend too much in the ghost market in Chang'an?

"Kill someone?"

"Don't you dare?"

"Then it depends on who you want to kill."
