Chapter 230 Who Should Take the Blame?

Early the next morning, Yulu Jushi did not go to Soshin-dang to meet his disciple as usual, but went directly to the west gate of Kyoto to wait.

He found a restaurant and had morning tea. As the tea went from colored to colorless, he noticed a carriage parked in front of the west gate.

This carriage was different from those used by freight transporters. The driver was fully armored and was obviously a figure from the palace. The top of the carriage was also covered with steel plates, making it look like a heavy chariot.

When he saw the carriage, Mr. Yulu knew that the real owner had arrived.

He just winked at the waiter in the hotel, and the latter immediately walked towards the carriage.

After arriving at the carriage and having a brief conversation, the soldiers turned their attention to Mr. Yulu who was in the hotel.

After confirming, the soldiers removed the reins and rode away with their horses, leaving only the iron carriage on the road.

The waiters, customers and the owner of the hotel all changed their clothes and dressed like clerks. They closed the door of the hotel and tied the reins directly to the iron box.

Another man dressed like a gangster came with a large piece of cloth in his hand and covered the iron box with it.

When the iron compartment was covered with cloth, it immediately became an ordinary truck, which others could not see or understand.

Mr. Yulu got on a carriage nearby.

Whip up and set sail.

The convoy moved forward for half a day and finally arrived at a town near Kyoto before the sun set.

After arriving at this town, I saw many young scholars riding horses and holding books, bowing to each other, calling each other brother, and looking full of joy:
"Brother Chang! I didn't expect to see you here!"

"Brother Guo! What a coincidence! You also listened to the call of the Lu family and gathered here to deal with the blind villain in Xuzhou?"

"That's natural."

All discussions in the town were about this matter. Apparently, these scholars were gathered together by the Lu family, who wanted to go to Qingzhou together to support Prince Shou.

The motorcade of Mr. Yulu also attracted a lot of attention, but the motorcade was so grand and imposing that no one dared to step forward and get in the way, and they all dispersed.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the gate of a large mansion. Mr. Yulu got off the car and arrived at the door of the mansion.

Immediately, several servants came forward and welcomed him into the mansion.

Take a seat, drink tea, and wait.

After half an incense stick of time, a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wearing gorgeous clothes, came from the backyard. He was obviously from a wealthy family.

When he saw Yulu Hermit, he burst into laughter and stepped forward to shake his hand:
"I heard yesterday that you were planning to come here, and I thought it was great! I didn't expect that you were also dissatisfied with those Xuzhou thieves!"

Yulu Jushi also showed a kind smile:

"Look at what you said, Master Lu. Those people in Xuzhou are evil villains. Helping Prince Shou to fight against them is a great merit to the world! This is a great thing!"

"You have a point." Young Master Lu sighed, "As the saying goes, don't be content to starve to death, but be a mantis that fights with its arms. If the refugees in Xuzhou had starved to death quietly, the nobles would have pitied them. I didn't expect them to rise up in resistance and kill His Royal Highness Prince Kang! It's really disrespectful!"

"That is, they should have been killed long ago."

The two exchanged a few polite words, and the second young master Lu also sat down and asked with a smile:
"Layman, what name do you want to use when you come here this time?"

As expected, you asked this.

Mr. Yulu sneered in his heart.

A few days ago, there was a disturbance of refugees in Xuzhou, and the momentum was so great that King Kang was killed directly! This incident angered the gentry, and they criticized the gang of thugs in Xuzhou, but few people took action themselves.

Later, King Shou of Qingzhou thought that he could swallow up the land of Xuzhou, so he led a large group of troops to attack the Xuzhou Pass, but was stopped by a fierce general. They fought for most of the day and failed to break through the pass.

The two sides continued to fight like this.

Most of the noble families were watching from the sidelines, observing how events would develop. Until today, the Lu family of Fanyang could no longer bear it, and sent their second son to come forward and summon scholars from all over the world and a group of talented people from bookstores to go to Qingzhou to support Prince Shou.

but……

How can a group of people who play with pens provide support?

These guys regard supporting Qingzhou as a gilded achievement!

Now that Mr. Yulu has interfered, the second young master of the Lu family is naturally suspicious.

I thought I was here to gain some fame.

In his heart, he looked down on the second young master of the Lu family, but on the surface he looked eager: "I came here this time, all for the purpose of helping you, the second young master."

"Oh?"

"You don't have to tell others that you are accompanied by a lay Buddhist on your trip to Qingzhou. If you encounter any trouble, I will do my best to help you solve it."

Hearing what Yulu said, the second young master of the Lu family was also greatly surprised:

"This? Is there something wrong?"

"What's wrong with that? Just order me around."

The second young master of the Lu family nodded in understanding.

I could probably guess in my heart that this lay Buddhist was probably invited by my family through connections.

This person is here to protect me!

Good thing!

With a smile on his face:

"You are right. You are my senior, so you should take the seat. If I really encounter something I cannot handle, I will entrust you to help me."

"That's good." Mr. Yulu could also see that the second young master of the Lu family had fallen into the trap, so he smiled with satisfaction.

Now I have two people to take the blame for me. Good thing!

……

Bai Tang rode on an iron horse, observing the soldiers in front of him.

He did not bring many people with him on this expedition, only a thousand elite soldiers.

If logistics are included, there are probably more than 5,000 people.

After all, Yuzhou's military strength is far inferior to Youzhou's. Prince Jing has spent a lot of effort to protect his town from being disturbed by evil spirits, and he cannot mobilize the main force, so this is the number of troops he can dispatch.

But this is not a big problem. After all, the main purpose of this team is not to kill, but to serve as a cover to cover up Zuo Chen's whereabouts.

The selection of troops and generals was almost complete, and Bai Tang nodded and looked at Zuo Chen and Cai Yi who were sitting on the donkey cart beside him:
"Master, Fairy, the Yuzhou White Robe Army is ready and can set off at any time."

"Let's go." Zuo Chen nodded, and the donkey cart moved along the road.

Bai Tang waved his whip high and shouted:
"My boys, follow me!"

He rode his horse to the front of the team.

Someone in the army blew a trumpet, the horse-drawn carriages pulled drums, and the hammers struck hard, making a heavy thudding sound.

The elite soldiers gathered together and rode forward on horseback, while the logistics and ordinary soldiers protected the carriages as they moved forward. The team was huge and mighty.

Seeing that Yuzhou City was getting farther and farther away, Zuo Chen's mind couldn't help but become a little distracted.

Guan Jinping did not go with them. She stayed in Yuzhou City temporarily, planning to practice the Taoist scriptures left to her by Zuo Chen so that she could scare the old man when she went to Kyoto.

Zhu Lao Ba still didn't come to the city. He was probably busy helping the young couple to appease the parents of his murdered apprentice. Zuo Chen told Li Yu about Zhu Lao Ba's affairs, and Li Yu would tell Zhu Lao Ba about Zuo Chen's whereabouts.

"Master, we haven't been back to Xuzhou for a while. I wonder what Xuzhou has become like now."

Caiyi was also quite emotional.

She still remembered that when she first followed Zuo Chen, it was just to learn a few more skills from him so that she could earn more food in the future.

However, he didn't expect that while hanging out with Zuo Chen, he somehow became a peak innate level.

She also got the title of great aunt.

Now let’s not talk about anything else, as long as we don’t touch anything related to the Sea of ​​Bitterness and throw Caiyi into the world, she can be regarded as one of the best masters.

However, after following Zuo Chen for so long, Caiyi's temperament has also changed.

In troubled times, if you can help others reunite, do good deeds, and achieve virtues, isn't this a good thing?
Caiyi estimated that if she were to leave Zuo Chen and travel the world on her own one day, she would probably do something similar to what Zuo Chen was doing now.

"I've been away for a while."

Zuo Chen was also a little disappointed.

If you count carefully, he came down from Gray Mountain in the spring, and now it is the beginning of the second year.

The walk was not long, but there were many things to see.

The world is bustling with people, there are disasters, tragedies, and sad things, but there are also kind people, good people, and people who protect life.

After this experience, it can be considered as a tempering of one's soul in this world.

Now when I recall it again, I have more understanding.

My mind became much more relaxed, and even my internal breath became more harmonious.

Zuo Chen glanced inward at his dantian.

The five qi are already in the chest, and the three flowers on the top of the head are complete.

The baby, who was originally dangling, has become much more solid.

Two paintings have been engraved on the scrolls floating around it, and the remaining scrolls are still slowly floating.

Zuo Chen sensed that it would probably take three more "paintings" before his Nascent Soul could be officially formed.

And next to this Nascent Soul, there was a ball of "liquid" floating, emitting a wonderful and wild Qi.

It was like the sun and the moon, wandering in Zuo Chen's dantian.

Zuo Chen felt that he might have practiced incorrectly.

But his Taoism is indeed profound.

No problem!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Bai Tang riding his horse back to Zuo Chen and the others.

"Master, is it okay to make noise while following the army?"

"No problem. The voices in the army are quite uniform and pleasant to the ears." Zuo Chen waved his hand and said, "But what do you know about the Qingzhou Army?"

"Yes, there are some." Bai Tang said with a smile: "Prince Shou's strength is relatively weak among the princes, but he occupies a land of plenty, and has a lot of gold and silver. He also learned from Prince Chang to accept many retainers, but compared to Prince Chang accepting individual wanderers, he is more willing to deal with those families. Because of this, he has a good reputation among the gentry, and many literati are willing to speak for him.

"As for his army... I don't know if you've heard of it, but recently a general has emerged from his army, called Tian Dao. It's said that he holds a precious sword ranked second in the Divine Weapon Chart, which he got half a year ago. It can cut off all the divine weapons in the world! It's truly a divine weapon. This guy should be the most difficult to deal with."

Zuo Chen: “???”

This Heavenly Sword of General Tiandao...

Could it be that it was the one I gave to Liu Laizi back then?
