Start from the thief

At this time, Li Kui was still running towards Tiexiang Temple without stopping. His legs were almost broken after running all day and all night.

There was nothing I could do at Master Li Hai's place. If I stayed there all the time, how would I know if this was a strategy of the leader to tie me up?

Don't do what your enemy wants you to do.

Zhao Yushu stopped suddenly. Sifang Pavilion was almost razed to the ground. An hour had passed since the incident. Li Qi only took away 200 cavalrymen. If a fight had broken out, it would have ended by now.

What can I do at Tiexiang Temple now?

Save people? Or kill people?

Neither. The person I want to save is not allowed to save, and the person I want to kill is not in Tiexiang Temple.

Ye Rudoji, where are you?

Fu Yun told himself that if he wanted to hide Nong Shouguang, he must have a local tyrant to cover him up. This local tyrant was naturally Cao Zheng. Cao Zheng might not have hidden Nong Shouguang himself, but it was reasonable for the person he hid to hide Nong Shouguang.

Still Doggie.

Zhao Yushu turned to Cao's mansion.

He didn't know that Cao Zheng was currently at Tiexiang Temple. When the gatekeeper said that the master had gone out last night, he realized that he had missed him again.

"May I ask, is Master Cao here?"

"exist!"

When Li Qi heard the words "Li Kui from Chang'an Academy", he felt extremely absurd.

I have been in Chang'an Academy for so many years. Although I can't guarantee that I can remember the name of every Li family member, if there is such an outstanding fifth-level cultivator, I will never forget it. In fact, there are not many cultivators in Chang'an Academy.

Naturally, there wouldn’t be anyone named Li Kui among them.

Moreover, the academy is a staunch supporter of imperial power. It took a direct and resolute stand on the side of Li Huan. How could it possibly send someone to cause trouble?

"Mr. Cao, please withdraw your troops."

Cao Zheng nodded and said, "Now that things have come to this, please do not blame me for speaking clearly. If Your Majesty does not dare to use military force against Tubo, it is better for the angel to leave now."

"I will tell Mr. Cao on behalf of His Majesty that if the Tubo dare to come, they will not be able to return with a single piece of armor."

Cao Zheng raised his head and looked into Li Qi's eyes, seeming a little unconvinced.

"Similarly, if Yizhou wants to be cautious, it can just move a million households from Chang'an here."

Are you willing to save Yizhou even at the cost of giving up Chang'an?

Is this Li Huan’s attitude or your Li Qi’s attitude?

Retreat or kill?

"My father went out to do some work last night. He sent someone to report that he was safe this morning. If you have nothing to do, Mr. Li, please sit down and wait for a while."

"I really have something to do. Mainly, Cao Gong said last time that he wanted to have a chat with me and Ye Ruduoji to see if we can ease the situation. I thought we really need to talk, so I came here as soon as possible."

Zhao Yushu decisively started to deceive people.

"Yeru Dorje?"

As the legitimate son of the Cao family, he was naturally trained by Cao Zheng at an early age. Such a major event involving the survival of the family would definitely not be hidden from his son.

If Zhao Yushu had only said that he wanted to talk to the Tibetans, Master Cao might have been suspicious, but Zhao Yushu decisively gave Doji's name. If his father hadn't told him, he would not have known it.

"If you want to find Ye Ruduoji, I can take you there."

"That's not right. Cao Gong hasn't come back yet. If you and I go alone, I'm afraid it would be impolite."

Zhao Yushu drank a cup of tea and shook his head to refuse.

Retreat to advance, simple psychology.

"Mr. Li, you're worrying too much. Ye Ruduoji is about the same age as you and me. Let's not pay him a formal visit. Just treat it as my younger brother inviting him out for fun. I'll introduce you to each other during the meal. Isn't that polite?"

"Hahaha, that makes sense, that makes sense."

"Then I'll send someone to the Du Mansion to inform them."

So they were at the Du Mansion. Zhao Yushu smiled calmly and nodded in agreement. The two of them went out together. Just as they reached the gate of Cao Mansion, a servant came back on horseback.

"Master, the master will be back home soon. I'll ask you and Mr. Cai to make arrangements. The angel will be here soon."

Angel? Li Qi is here.

"The angel is here. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Let's talk about it next time."

Zhao Yushu bowed, and Master Cao had no intention of trying to keep him, so after the two said goodbye, Zhao Yushu immediately went to the Du Mansion.

No one knows what happened at Tiexiang Temple that led to the confrontation between Li Qi and Cao Zheng, but it is 80% to 90% likely related to Doji who sent Baima to attack Sifang Pavilion. Sowing discord and sitting on the sidelines to watch the fight are the least that can be done.

Now that Cao Zheng has brought Li Qi back, it means that the two did not fight, or the fight has been suspended. If they check their accounts, will the fake Li Qi be identified?

It is very likely that he would. After all, Li Qi has the real royal flag, imperial edicts and troops. He only has a fake and shoddy swordsmanship and can deceive people temporarily.

I can't go to the Cao family anymore. Fortunately, Mr. Cao was not on guard and directly revealed Doji's residence.

As soon as Cao Zheng gets home, he will immediately know that I am here to inquire about Doji, and it will be very dangerous for me to do anything at that time.

time is limited.

Zhao Yushu stopped outside the Du Mansion. This was Du Wu's private residence, and the security was originally very tight, but Du Wu had dispatched several groups of personal soldiers there last night, so the security had been relaxed a lot.

Of course, there should be monks in the residence of the Jiannan Jiedushi, but most of them have been transferred away, and now there is only one left to stay with his family.

Zhao Yushu went straight into the Du Mansion as if he was in an empty place.

The Du Mansion is very large, and it is not easy to find someone. However, since my identity has been exposed and I don’t intend to hide myself, it will be much easier to find someone.

The surging spiritual energy immediately swept through the entire mansion.

A spiritual force rolled back almost instinctively, trying to use the seventh level of cultivation to shock this ignorant sixth level person.

Zhao Yushu gathered his spiritual power and rushed towards the source of it.

Bai Ma, I found you.

Doji watched helplessly as the door in front of him exploded and broken wood chips flew like sharp arrows. Bai Ma's reaction was extremely fast. Black mist rose up and reversed all the attacks in an instant, and then a flash of sword light appeared in front of him.

Zhao Yushu, dressed in black, didn't say any nonsense. His sword flashed continuously, and Bai Ma, who was suppressed by his mere sixth-level cultivation, could only defend himself.

If Bai Ma had reached the great perfection of the outer scene now, with her strange skills and sophisticated killing methods, she might be able to force Zhao Yushu away head-on, but she was only at the seventh level.

If it were her, she might have a chance to escape even if she sacrificed half her life, but she still had to protect a mortal.

When Mr. Liu wanted to kill a mortal, not to mention Bai Ma, the entire Wangjiang Tower could not be saved.

"Sir, save me!"

Doji was thrown backwards by Bai Ma and fell to the ground screaming. Zhao Yushu felt a surge of blood, the wall collapsed, and a pair of sharp claws grabbed him out of thin air.

Nong Shouguang, so you are here.

It’s just right, let’s kill both of them today.

It only took Nong Shouguang two days to become a fourth-level cultivator. No one knew how much blood and essence he had absorbed from other cultivators.

But if an ordinary fourth-level god of death met a sixth-level god of death, he would just turn around and run away. However, it was not known whether Nong Shouguang's sanity was eroded by blood or he had some other support, but he actually rushed straight towards him.

Courageous or reckless?

Darkness fell, and Zhao Yushu appeared behind Bai Ma, with the sword pointed at her neck.

First.
