Chapter 497 Situation

Chapter 497 Situation

Three Western warriors stood in a row, in front of them was a man with no hair on his mouth. He raised his index finger, picked up a winter date, threw it into his mouth, and bit it so hard that the juice flowed out.

"Pooh."

A date pit was spat out.

"Just the three of you?"

Oh, it’s a eunuch, but the eunuch should be in the palace. Is there a palace here?

Zhao Yushu suddenly realized that it should be from the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

After Li Huan ascended the throne, the cunning King of Shu ran back to Yizhou from Chang'an. He closed the door of the palace, covered himself with a quilt, and shrank his head, pretending to be an ostrich, saying, "You can fight yours, don't touch me, I'm just a useless waste."

Then he took the initiative to disband all 5,000 guards, leaving only 500 personal guards. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Chang'an Dongdu, stating that the fiefdom was too large and he was not talented enough to manage it. He did not want the fiefdom anymore. The ancestral property of the palace was enough for him to live on, so he could do whatever he wanted.

For a time, the emperors of the two capitals were too embarrassed to take action against this brother and simply acquiesced in his defensive tactics.

Now it seems that this guy is not so stupid.

"Your Excellency."

The eldest brother of Pishan organized his words: "He is one of the most powerful warriors in our Western Region. With the three of us, well, that's enough."

"Come on, stop bragging. Last time you boasted to us that you could bring a hundred people. We gave you two days, and you only brought three."

"We Western Region warriors are all capable of fighting a hundred men at once. Sir, rest assured. Leave the most dangerous places to us."

Zhao Yushu patted his chest and nodded to the two Pishan brothers who were staring at him with wide eyes to show his confidence.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, that's interesting. You people from the Western Regions are really cute in your recklessness. OK, it's only fifty taels. Where do you live now?"

"Sir, we are staying at the Rifle Inn."

"Okay, don't run around these few days. At least leave someone squatting at the door, waiting for our letter. Go back."

The eunuch waved his hand and told them to go away. The Pishan brothers hurriedly saluted and pulled Zhao Yushu away.

Zhao Yushu blinked. Where is the mission? Are you leaving now?

"I didn't say what I was doing."

"Didn't I tell you to wait for the news?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to kill someone?"

"Yeah, that's what you said when you came to me before."

"Who are you going to kill?"

"Didn't I tell you to wait for the news?"

Zhao Yushu couldn't help but retreat tactically. He was really stupid. Why did he think that just by accidentally meeting two down-and-out Western warriors, he could directly participate in a major event that would determine the direction of the world?

It's not impossible that in the end this eunuch just wants him to chop down two drunkards who are sleeping at the gate of the palace.

"Brothers, please wait in the inn. I'll go around and see if there are any good guys. You can use this money first. There's no need to refuse. Both of you are willing to help me make a fortune. Five taels of silver is nothing. Goodbye."

Zhao Yushu stuffed a silver ingot into Brother Pishan's pocket and ran away. The mission here was most likely just an ordinary daily task or a side quest, so he should focus on the main quest. The kind of good thing that could trigger the core plot by just strolling around the street only existed in games and novels.

Zhao Yushu found an inn nearby, changed into a white nobleman's attire, checked into a new room, and spread out a piece of paper on the desk.

After grinding the ink, Zhao Yushu picked up the pen and drew a large square on the paper, and then drew a small sword in the middle.

This is the Shushan Sect that is responsible for guarding Yizhou. With the Sword Master Dugu here, the Red Lotus Sect Leader that he is most worried about will not be able to cause too much trouble, at least he won't be able to sneak into Yizhou silently to cause trouble.

So a mask pattern was painted outside the city. Even if the Red Lotus Sect Leader did not enter the city, he must have arrived near Yizhou by now, but he just hadn't shown up yet.

Then came the main force in the fight for Yanhui's corpse.

A lama hat and a bald head were painted in the city, with a check mark on the bald head and a question mark on the lama hat.

The people from Dabei Temple haven't arrived yet. As long as I am willing, I will definitely know where they will stay. I don't need to do anything in advance. The first priority now is to find where the people from the Tubo Buddhist Sect are.

There are secret sentries in the academy in Yizhou. If you really can't find them, you can go and ask, but that will increase the risk of exposing yourself.

Then Zhao Yushu wrote the word "Bon". The Bon religion was the most mysterious force he knew about, but it was the first to fight against him. Even the leader of the Bon religion had joined in the fight. They risked their lives for this matter. They definitely didn't just want Yan Hui's corpse. Even if they were given to them, they didn't have the strength to keep it. Their ultimate goal was currently unknown.

Next is the secular forces of Tubo. Their purpose is very clear. They want to use Jiannan to spy on Jiangnan. If they have enough power, they can even touch Chang'an. In this case...

Zhao Yushu thought about it and drew a line between Tubo and the mask.

Third Senior Brother said that the leader of the Red Lotus Cult may not want to see the Red Lotus Cult destroyed, so if it is handled properly, although these are all enemies, the enemy of my enemy may not be my friend.

Who says dogs are not allowed to bite dogs?

And Chang'an.

Zhao Yushu wrote the word Chang'an in the city. Will Li Huan take action against Yizhou? Of course he will. He must take action. Otherwise, Jiannan Road will fall into the hands of others. No matter who it falls into, Chang'an will be surrounded on three sides, with only Guanzhong and Longyou left. If Li Huan does not want to go to the Western Regions to eat sand, he must do his best to Yizhou.

Who will he send?

The underworld? The dragon? Ye Ruduoji claimed that he had no dealings with the underworld. In other words, he knew about the existence of the underworld. What did the underworld talk to him about?

Zhao Yushu scratched his head. Although Yizhou City was big, it suddenly didn't seem that big at this moment. There were too many people involved, but it was not over yet.

There are also Liao people.

The Liao people are easy to guess, the King of the Southern Court, Yelu Rang.

If he had not killed Yelu Yan, the Liao cavalry would probably be on their way to Jiannan Road now.

The death of Yelu Yan caused Li Huan and Yelu Rang to distrust each other, which temporarily halted the Liao army's advance southward, but it was only a temporary halt.

If he were Yelu Rang, he would order a large army and several top monks to appear in the most dangerous place when the battle is most stalemate, and secure victory in one fell swoop. If he retreats, he can gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, and if he advances, he can occupy a dominant position in Jiannan and have a glimpse of the world.

Zhao Yushu put down his pen, looked at the paper that was already densely written on, then he released his spiritual power and shattered the paper into pieces.

The fragments were so small that they could not be restored, and instead of turning into ashes, they fell to the ground.

There is one last force.

Zhao Yushu opened the window and looked at the prosperous Yizhou City.

There are also the local bullies in Jiannan Road.

What exactly are they planning now? Are they going to change their flags and sell themselves for a good price, or are they trying to profit from the chaos and establish their own country?

Zhao Yushu thought of the third letter that Lan Rong asked him to read in the Nanyang government office.

After reorganizing his thoughts in his mind, Zhao Yushu walked out of the inn, fanning himself with a folding fan.

He already had a clear idea of ​​the forces that might be involved, but they knew nothing about his arrival.

It's time to give these people a little college shock.
