Chapter 505 Joining the gang
Zhao Yushu understood early on that reality is different from games. In reality, no one can just hang a faction symbol above their head and avoid friendly fire with one click. There are countless cases where a friend one second becomes an enemy the next.
With the exception of a few trusted people, anyone can stab you in the back at the most critical moment.
So even though I was surprised how the Bon religion, which was incompatible with life and death, was related to the Tibetan Buddhism, I was still surprised, but not unbelievable.
During the 400 years of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo never gave up its covetousness for the Tang Dynasty. The two countries fought and stopped fighting again. Now there is a rare opportunity to take over Jiannan Road, and all internal conflicts can be temporarily put aside.
Everyone can only have a share of the cake if it is made bigger. As for how to fight after the fight, or even whether to fight before the fight, that is another matter.
Zhao Yushu changed back into Alibaba's costume and returned to Lai Fu Inn. The two Pishan brothers had already returned.
"Brother Alibaba, how are you doing there?"
"It's not easy. I saw the person I wanted to kill near the palace, but he looked very high-ranking."
"Very high?"
"Yes, there are at least twenty Liao warriors guarding us, all of them are strong and sturdy, wearing iron armor. I am not afraid of them if I fight them alone, but I will not be able to handle at most three of them."
The two old men from Pishan looked at each other, and worry appeared on their faces.
"Brother, did you gain anything from going to the market?"
"Yes, I met a few Yanqi people. One of them was the one we had met in the Western Regions before. He was the one selling dates. He said someone was recruiting warriors from the Western Regions recently. The price was very good, but he was too timid to go. He didn't know the details."
"Probe again and report again."
"Ok?"
"Ahem, it's okay. I mean, this clue is very important. If it's really the same job, we might meet our opponents. We are both from the Western Regions, so it's better for us to work together to get the job done."
"Brother Alibaba, what you said makes sense. How are you doing, brother?"
The second brother of Pishan scratched his head and said, "I didn't see anything. There were quite a few people going in and out of Shengci Temple. There were also a few Liao people, but there were no Liao women. However, I saw a few Tibetan lamas going in in the morning and coming out in the afternoon."
Right.
Zhao Yushu clapped his hands secretly. The Bon goddess went to the Tibetan Buddhist sect's headquarters, the Tibetan Buddhist sect's lamas went to the Shengci Temple of Central Plains Buddhism, the Liao royal family married the Central Plains prince, and then people who believed in the grassland's Changshengtian also liked to go to the Buddhist temple to worship.
It turns out that several known forces are all connected, and the intricate relationships have formed a big net. As to whether this net is simply chaos or intended to catch a big fish, everything is still unknown.
Zhao Yushu touched his chin and said, "Second brother, let's change tomorrow. I'll go to Shengci Temple."
Pishan's second brother didn't understand: "Why do we need to change?"
"Because we have shown our faces once, if we show up in the same place every day, wouldn't it be easy for people to find us?"
The eldest brother Pishan slapped the second brother on the head and said, "Look how thoughtful Brother Alibaba is. Let's do this. I will go to the palace tomorrow and you go for a walk on the street. Remember, listen more, watch more, and talk less."
I must sort out all the clues as soon as possible. Once my forty villains arrive, there will be a lot for me to do and a lot of things I can do.
As night fell, although there was a curfew in Yizhou City in name, due to the lack of war for hundreds of years and the prosperous business, the curfew was just verbal.
The lights illuminated most of Yizhou City. The February wind was no longer particularly cold, and night owls began to go out into the streets, waving their folding fans and swaying with every step.
The two elder brothers from Pishan cordially invited Zhao Yushu to go to the gathering place of the foreign races to have some fun, but Zhao refused with righteous words.
Going to a brothel is just like going home, but I have never taken any real advantage. Now that I have a partner, I can't indulge myself.
"I'll go look around and see if the two brothers are having fun."
Zhao Yushu walked out of the inn, found a dark place to change back into his scholar's clothes, and walked towards the Drum Tower, fanning himself with a folding fan.
The night market at Gulou is very lively and is the most lively place in the whole Yizhou at night.
Zhao Yushu came here today with no particular purpose, he just wanted to stroll around. If he was lucky, he might meet some unexpected people. Of course, if he didn't meet any, it didn't matter, he could just take it as a chance to relax.
However, he didn't know whether it was good luck or not. He did meet an acquaintance, but this acquaintance shouldn't be here now, or rather, being here meant that things were heading in the worst direction.
Fu Yun.
This naughty kid is getting drunk at this moment.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yushu's current body is no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, but the memories and thoughts of his past life make him look much older.
As for Fu Yun, he is only fifteen or sixteen at most, but people in this world mature relatively early, so it is time for him to get married at this age.
Fu Yun was wearing an ordinary Tang Dynasty suit, without the storage bag around his waist and the sword behind his back.
He was expelled from the sect.
Zhao Yushu sighed and walked over.
This is an ordinary open-air food shop, mainly selling warm wine and side dishes for midnight snacks. It does not sell meat or fish, but fortunately most of the customers here do not need them.
Zhao Yushu first looked around the crowd, and when he didn't find anyone suspicious who was staring at Fu Yun, he recovered his sixth-level spiritual power and sat down opposite Fu Yun.
"you····"
Fu Yun looked at a stranger who suddenly sat down in front of him. His hazy drunken eyes woke up instinctively, and then he was stunned.
"Senior Brother Zhao?"
"I made a little disguise, but you were kicked out?"
Zhao Yushu has never been good at comforting others, and he always opens his mouth to expose the wounds.
"Oh, I chose it myself."
"Then why don't you go find Miaoyinhai? If you don't know the way, you can ask me."
Fu Yun shook his head: "No, no."
Zhao Yushu asked the waiter to heat up another pot of wine, ordered some cold dishes to go with the wine, and poured a full glass for the naughty kid: "Then what do you want? Aren't you just an idiot?"
Fu Yun opened his mouth wide. Although he didn't quite understand what "idiot" meant, it was definitely a vulgar insult. From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that no one had ever insulted him like that except Senior Brother Zhao. The most important thing was, shouldn't Senior Brother Zhao have an angry expression when he insults someone? How could he use the word "idiot" so lightly?
"Is it still possible to return to Shushan?"
Fu Yun shook his head, picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "Shushan has never had a precedent of a disciple who was expelled from the sect returning."
Zhao Yushu didn't pretend to be the first one in history, but just poured him another cup: "After drinking this pot, find an inn and have a good sleep. After waking up, go to Miaoyinhai or travel around the world to relax. Wait until you wake up. As for the money, don't worry about it."
Fu Yun raised his head and said, "Brother Zhao, are you going to do something big in Yizhou?"
Zhao Yushu chuckled, "When has your senior brother ever done something that wasn't a big deal?"
"Can I follow you? I want to do something."
Zhao Yushu looked deeply at Fu Yun, who had a hopeful look on his face.
"it is good."
