Chapter 528 Coincidence
Looking at Zhao Yushu who was sitting beside the bed, Zhu Huo's eyes were as complicated as his heart.
Is my current half-crippled body due to him?
If Zhao Yushu had not gone to Yuezhou, would his future be different?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
"Master Yang said you would definitely come, and asked me to try to contact you when I couldn't bear it anymore. However, I have been searching for more than a month and couldn't find you. When did you arrive?"
Zhao Yushu scratched his head: "Although it may be a blow to you to tell you, it has been more than half a month."
Zhu Huo snorted, "How did you find me? Did Master Yang tell you?"
"No, I followed you here directly."
Zhu Huo's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to curse, but he finally sighed: "You are still so annoying."
Zhao Yushu shrugged: "What are you doing in Yizhou?"
Zhu Huo hesitated for a moment, considering whether to tell Zhao Yushu.
"If it's inconvenient, then don't tell me. I can probably guess that they just want to see if there is a chance to take advantage of the chaos and hinder the eastward advance of Tubo. After all, the future of Jiannan Road is directly related to the future of the Red Lotus Sect, right?"
"It's not inconvenient, it's just that you have your things to do and I have mine to do. I don't want to get you into trouble until the last minute."
"Come on, Lao Yang and I have a life-long friendship, why are you talking to me about this?"
Zhu Huo sat back in his chair: "Whether Jiannan Dao surrenders to Tubo or Chang'an, our Red Lotus Sect will not have an easy time."
"But Jiannan Dao must take sides. They don't have the capital to be independent, and they can't stand with you to block Tubo and Chang'an for you."
"I know."
Three words, helpless and realistic, both of them were silent.
"Will the academy support us?"
Zhu Huo suddenly asked.
"Emotionally speaking, at least I personally support it. But do you think Old Yang is fit to be an emperor?"
Zhu Huo burst out laughing: "His biggest dream is to travel around the world with Sanniang after everyone can live a good life. Let him become the emperor? Hahaha, let him go."
Zhao Yushu also laughed. If the leader of the Red Lotus Sect had not despaired and had not betrayed the sect, perhaps the Red Lotus Sect would still have a chance to conquer the world. But now, unless the people of this world could accept the new political system in a short period of time, or Yang He completely changed his personality, it would be good enough for the Red Lotus Sect to survive.
Regardless of whether it was the dignitaries in the East and West Capitals, or the common people, or even the academies, no one wanted the world to be torn apart.
It would be fine if the whole world was full of heroes, but now those who are at the pinnacle of power in the world, whether from the Tang Dynasty, Tubo or Liao, are all wastes compared to their predecessors. As long as an heir with outstanding abilities appears, this division is doomed to not last.
"I'm leaving something for you. This thing should be a sound transmission talisman or something like that. It's a disposable consumable. If you run into an emergency, just tear it up. As for whether I can save you in time, it depends on luck."
Zhao Yushu threw a piece of paper over and stretched himself: "Don't let your people know that I'm here yet. I'm leaving."
"Zhao Yushu!"
Zhu Huo called him in a low voice and Zhao Yushu stopped.
"If possible, who would you like to be the emperor?"
Zhao Yushu shook his head: "There is no candidate, but I think that sometimes it is a good thing to have no emperor. I hope the next generation can do it."
Zhu Huo did not see clearly how Zhao Yushu left. It seemed that he lost sight of him in just a blink of an eye. Only the sound transmission note in his hand represented that he had been there.
Zhu Huo put away the information on the table. He already knew who had kicked the Liao people out, so he could sleep well tonight.
Zhu Huo might be an ally, but he has too few people and can't do much to help. I just hope that this poor child won't get into trouble here again.
Zhao Yushu strolled on the street. Even though the curfew was in name only, there were basically no people still shopping at this time.
So Old Zhao looked very abrupt, and the shadow that sneaked past him was even more abrupt.
In the novels of his previous life, the plot was basically driven by chance encounters. Zhao Yushu used to sneer at it, but now he doesn't dare to do so anymore.
Perhaps due to his professional habit, Zhao Yushu particularly likes to walk in the shadows when walking at night. This is also the reason why he was not discovered immediately by the familiar-looking figure in front of him.
What are you doing on a dark and windy night? Especially since I feel like you are familiar, you must not be a good person.
Zhao Yushu followed without hesitation. In the darkness, except for the shadow lord whose life or death was unknown under the Beimang Mountain, he was the undisputed king.
The man in front had a clear route, heading west, accurately avoiding the patrolling Wu Hou of the Right Guard, and was about to reach Qingyuan Gate.
The man stopped, took out a tinderbox, lit a small Kongming lantern, and then hid behind a mud house.
This guy is in contact.
Zhao Yushu, who was squatting on the roof, made the first judgment. In the dark night, the Kongming lanterns were very conspicuous. How could he be sure that the guards of Qingyuan Gate would not see them and come over to search?
The guards at Qingyuan Gate did see it. A sergeant came over with several soldiers. To Zhao Yushu's surprise, the man whistled, and the people who were hiding immediately came out.
In the light of the soldiers' torches, the man removed the hood of his cloak, revealing a familiar face.
Nong Shouguang!
This person is Xiao Qing's right-hand man and the official manager of the tea bureau. This time he joined forces with the Cao family and Tubo to suddenly attack the Liao people, but he did not expect that he could escape.
If Li Qi were here, he would definitely sigh and say, "You are so good at running that even the Five City Guards and the Yizhou Prefecture Army can't catch you. It's obvious that you have bribed the city gate officer of Qingyuan Gate and are about to slip out of the city."
"grown ups."
The sergeant bowed and said, "Follow me."
If Zhao Yushu takes action now, he can easily capture Nong Shouguang, and then throw him to the Cao family or Li Qi, but it will not be of any benefit to himself.
The Liao people are gone. Nong Shouguang left the city from the west. Where did he want to run to?
A bamboo basket was quietly lowered from the Qingyuan Gate. Nong Shouguang jumped off the basket, rode on a horse that had been prepared long ago, and galloped towards the northwest.
At the same time, Zhao Yushu appeared in a shadow outside the city, and moved quickly, following the horse like a shadow.
It was pitch dark and the road was unclear, and he was riding a horse that was good at short-distance running rather than a slow horse that was good at long-distance traveling. Nong Shouguang was not trying to run away, at least not far.
What's in this direction?
With endless doubts, the horse turned onto a mountain road and climbed up the not-so-high slope, panting heavily.
Nong Shouguang jumped off his horse and patted the vermilion gate.
The door was opened almost immediately, Nong Shouguang squeezed in, and the door was then closed heavily.
Zhao Yushu stood in front of the door, looked at the plaque on the door, and touched his chin.
Senpukuji Temple.
It's another Buddhist temple.
