Start from the thief

"I looked around and found that there are many people who might be Golden Wolves here. After all, this is the capital of Liao. But there are not many I am sure of. There is only one old man who is about to die. I went to his house and wanted to scare him directly, but I was afraid of scaring him to death. Sigh."

Zhao Yushu sighed and drank a glass of water.

"You are indeed a soft-hearted person."

Lan Ling wiped the sweat off Zhao Yushu's forehead with a towel and said, "I'll go."

Zhao Yushu forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I won't be hypocritical when necessary. What's the difference between you going and me going? Today is just to explore the way. I will go and give it a try tonight. What do you think today?"

Zhao Yushu looked at the pieces of paper on the table. Some of them were densely written, while others had only a few small words on them.

"I thought about it for a long time and came up with an idea. Then I wrote a letter to Third Senior Brother and told him about our plan. I also asked him for all the information about Fifth Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister before they disappeared. I wanted to verify something."

Zhao Yushu frowned, realizing that his future partner seemed to be suspicious of something.

"You doubt my brother?"

"No, if I suspected Third Senior Brother, I wouldn't have told you about this. I'm wondering now if Third Senior Brother has also been kept in the dark."

"Who could have hidden it from him?"

"I don't know, but think about it, Second Senior Sister's direct combat power is not even inferior to that of the First Senior Brother, and Fifth Senior Sister is first-class in both reputation and cultivation in the grassland. Maybe someone can kill them, but I don't believe that anyone can make them disappear silently without even a trace of information."

Zhao Yushu felt something was wrong: "But even if True Man Zixiao and Zhang Tianshi took action, they couldn't do this."

"Yes, so I want Third Senior Brother to think about whether there is anyone who knows everything about the academy, especially Second Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Sister."

"How could there be such a person in Liao?"

"This kind of person may not only be found in Liao."

Zhao Yushu took a deep breath: "I understand."

"I wrote another letter to my father and asked him to present it to Li Tong on my behalf."

"Li Tong?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you the details of this matter, because I don't know whether she will agree or not."

"Then I won't ask."

Lan Ling smiled, and her smile was unexpectedly a little tired.

"Take a rest. You still have things to do tonight."

Zhao Yushu was not a gentleman, but he would not misunderstand the hidden meaning of Lan Ling's words. Seeing Lan Ling's expression, he did not want to make a joke, so he simply meditated and adjusted his breathing to restore his best condition.

This is already the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and there are heavy troops on the side. Almost all the monks are concentrated nearby. If I am not careful, I might be surrounded by a group of great monks. I don't even need to use the inner scene. Three or five high-level outer scenes are enough to trap me. If there are one or two people with special inheritance, such as Miao Yinhai, I am afraid that one of them can entangle me, and then wait for the inner scene to come and reap the rewards.

The population of the Liao Dynasty at this time exceeded 20 million, and there were definitely quite a few monks.

It's better to be careful.

Zhao Yushu was dressed in black, sitting on the roof of the lobby of a mansion in Liaoyang Prefecture. The owner of the mansion was hosting a small banquet.

The owner is a person of the Liao emperor's grandfather generation. In a confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, he led a dozen cavalry guards to break the spear formation of the Youzhou governor. At the age of sixty, he saved the life of the Liao emperor who had just succeeded to the throne and was young, hot-tempered, and reckless. The probability of obtaining the Golden Wolf is very high.

Of course, all this news is hearsay. After all, the Liao Kingdom did not have such a complete document management system as the Tang Dynasty. And so many years have passed since the incident, so we don’t know whether it is true or not. We can only give it a try.

As for how to try it, it was also very simple. The old man who could hardly walk properly was just smiling as he watched a group of dancers performing a dance that was considered immoral in the Central Plains. When he was about to pick two young ones to warm his feet, a cold wind blew by.

The almost inaudible sound of breaking air was completely drowned out by the ending singing and dancing, and then all the lights went out at the same time.

"What's going on! What's going on! You idiot! How could you let the lights go out!"

The old man was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed, but unfortunately Zhao Yushu didn't understand a word he said. He had to seriously think about whether he should learn from Old Yang and learn a few foreign languages.

A group of servants hurriedly ran in with lanterns and relit all the lamps whose wicks had been cut off by something, and then exclamations rang out one after another.

A small table appeared in the middle of the hall. A golden wolf stood quietly on it, howling towards the sky.

"Golden Wolf!"

"Why is the Golden Wolf here?!"

The guests shouted and the old man stood up in shock: "Who took out my golden wolf?"

Before he could get over, the sky suddenly became dark again, and even the light of the lantern in the servant's hand disappeared.

Fortunately, this darkness lasted for a very short time, and the light returned in almost the blink of an eye. The old man blinked and almost fainted.

The golden wolf is gone.

"what's the situation?"

The old man was not a cultivator, and his brain was a little out of control due to his age. He stood there for a long time without being able to make any meaningful or even meaningless decision, which made Zhao Yushu a little anxious.

This tried and tested method of alerting the enemy by making them scare them away would not fail just because this old man is stupid enough.

Fortunately, not all the people present were stupid. Immediately, the children and grandchildren rushed up to the old man and chattered excitedly. The old man looked as if he had just come back to life, and immediately led a group of people to rush towards his own small treasury.

Zhao Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. The Liao people were impulsive and liked to show off. If it were a high-ranking official from the Central Plains, he would have definitely ordered his subordinates to leave and went to check it out carefully by himself.

Following the large group on the rooftop, Zhao Yushu watched the old man carefully open the not-so-clever locks one by one, then take out a golden box, and then hold up a golden wolf to show it proudly to the guests. He covered his forehead with his hands, and suddenly he became dozens of times more confident in his future treasure-stealing plan.

There is no other reason, the Liao people are just too unprofessional.

The lights went out again. The old man was so numb that he even forgot to curse.

The lights came on again, and the old man looked at his raised hands, as if in his previous life, a Taobao customer service representative had asked him to take a photo of the goods he had not received.

The old man blinked and reacted a little slowly.

"what's the situation!"

Ignoring the chorus of wailing and cursing in the yard, Zhao Yushu sat motionless in the night sky like a shadow, watching the chaos below.

From tonight on, no matter how many golden wolves there are in Liaoyang Prefecture, there will be someone to lead the way. Zhao Yushu put his hand into his arms. The soft touch of pure gold was very good. The proud wolf head now felt particularly comfortable, like a walnut.

Come on, a few more.
