Start from the thief

"My senior brother said that after the fifth senior sister returned to the academy, she suddenly went mad and became bloodthirsty and murderous. The fourth senior brother tried his best to control her. The eldest senior brother has gone to Mount Shu to ask the Sword Saint Dugu for help. I believe this is a strategy that the national teacher had already decided on in order to tie up the two inner scenes."

Zhao Yushu put down the first letter with a solemn expression. The national teacher had been planning for who knows how many years, and then he made great efforts to release it. If the academy wanted to deal with it calmly, it would be impossible.

"Third Senior Brother also told us to be careful. If we feel that things are impossible, we should return to Dongdu first and come back to deal with it after we have regrouped. Is he planning to give up on Second Senior Sister to a certain extent?"

Zhao Yushu frowned deeply.

"Third Senior Brother just doesn't want you to throw yourself into the trap of the Imperial Master for nothing. Besides, the Liao Kingdom has just been defeated, so they dare not do anything to Second Senior Sister."

Lan Ling put her hand on Zhao Yushu's shoulder and comforted him softly.

"No, I'm afraid you are wrong about this. The national teacher is probably the second uncle of the fifth senior sister. He doesn't care about the Liao Kingdom. He just wants revenge. As for who he will take revenge on, I'm not sure."

After hearing his words, Lan Ling was a little surprised: "Isn't it Teacher Xiang?"

"Not necessarily. Not necessarily."

Zhao Yushu was a little anxious and turned around twice. "I always feel that he is very strange. If he is the Lord of the Underworld, the Underworld must have accumulated such a huge momentum for at least ten years. Why didn't they move before?"

"Do you think it has something to do with you?"

"Maybe, but it would be unreasonable to ask for revenge against me. Both me and Jade Rat were still little kids when he got into trouble. So I wonder what he wants to do after enduring for so many years. Combined with the blood pills from the underworld and their ridiculous dream of immortality, what is his ultimate goal?"

Zhao Yushu shook his head. There was too little information to analyze.

"This letter was sent by Yun Gu. To be honest, I never thought that Yun Gu would send me a letter. It said that she was going to take Mo'er to Chang'an, and that Tianxianglou was going to be handed over to Wanqing to manage. But she didn't say why she was going to Chang'an."

Zhao Yushu spread his hands.

Lan Ling rolled her eyes: "Stay away from someone who is affectionate, otherwise what will Mo'er do if he is always thinking about him?"

Zhao Yushu suddenly felt that he had gone deaf and could not hear anything. He pretended to make a few "ah" sounds and quickly opened the last letter.

As expected, it was written by my father-in-law.

Lan Rong used extremely harsh words at the beginning of the letter, asking Lan Ling to go back immediately, whether to Chang'an or Dongdu, in short, to leave the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible, and if possible, bring Zhao Yushu back as well.

But in the middle of the letter, his tone softened and he said that he had already told Li Tong that the delegation would arrive in Linhuang Prefecture soon and that they would use diplomatic means to bring Li Li back. If that didn't work, Li Tong would send troops again at any time. Even Yang He's secret letter had reached Li Tong, stating that as long as Li Tong attacked the Liao Kingdom, the Red Lotus Sect would never do anything shameful like stabbing him in the back.

The meaning of this sentence is to let them go back quickly and not worry about Li Li. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will solve this problem.

At the end of the letter, Lan Rong only said one sentence: Your mother passed away early and your father is old. I just hope you are safe.

There were tear marks on the end of the letter paper, I don’t know if it was from Lan Ling or Lan Rong.

Zhao Yushu sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Lan Ling won't leave now.

"No matter what traps the Imperial Master sets, they are basically aimed at the teacher. No matter how much he values ​​me, he won't spend too much time on a small outdoor scene, so my chances of breaking the situation here are greater than the teacher's. However, the first step is to rescue the second senior sister so that the teacher and the eldest senior brother don't have to worry. In addition, I also want to know what happened to Zhang Tianshi."

It cannot be said that Zhang Tianshi is miserable now. After all, he is one of the top five masters in the world, the Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and one of the leaders of Taoism. Even if he becomes a prisoner, his treatment is not much different.

For example, now, Zhang Tianshi lives in a quiet courtyard, where he has high-quality food, clothing and other necessities. His servants are specially hired Taoist children who can talk to him and relieve his boredom when necessary.

But he could not be called a good person, because no matter who it was, no one would be happy if they were stabbed a dozen times every night.

But Zhang Tianshi was not idle. Even though his spiritual power was leaked every day and even though his inner elixir was broken a little, he was still silently accumulating spiritual power.

What if, what if he can’t come one day, then I will have a chance to break out.

In addition to desperately accumulating strength for a very slim chance, he was also observing, observing the sky, observing the ground, observing everyone's clothes, expressions, and movements.

Then I listened. Listen to the sound of people talking, the sound of carriages and horses passing by outside the wall, the chirping of insects in early summer, and the sound of long swords being unsheathed, which sounded a little later than my own every day, just across the wall.

Someone next door was also having his spiritual power drained away using the same method.

What is worthy of being treated in this way is at least an inner scene, and a very strong one at that.

Who's next door?

"Master, what would you like to eat tonight?"

The little Taoist boy who was in charge of serving the daily life bowed and asked respectfully.

Even though he had earned enough delicacies for Longhu Mountain to last him ten lifetimes, he was indeed frugal. On weekdays, Zhang Tianshi would have porridge and pickles every night, and occasionally he would be a bit extravagant and replace the pickles with salted eggs.

Therefore, the Taoist child’s daily routine inquiry is just to confirm whether there will be pickles or salted eggs tonight.

"Oh, tonight, I am hungry and want to try some seasonal delicacies from Linhuang Prefecture."

The Taoist boy was stunned, raised his head and said subconsciously in surprise: "Don't you want to drink the porridge?"

Zhang Tianshi laughed: "Why, this old Taoist can only drink porridge? Then let's have porridge."

"Master, please forgive me!"

The Taoist boy knelt down with a plop: "I am sorry for the rudeness. I will ask someone to prepare it right away!"

Zhang Tianshi nodded and motioned him to go down. He believed that the man must be suspicious of what he had done suddenly. Would he come over to see what was going on?

Master Zhang Tianshi is very idle, but that person is very busy. He comes here every day to release his spiritual power in a hurry. How much time can such a busy person spend with him?

As long as I keep using some tricks and consume a little more of his time and energy every day, how many times can he insist on coming to investigate every day?

Zhang Tianshi's talent is not top-notch. Not only is he not as good as his eldest senior brother, he is even not as good as his master's son, his second senior brother. The reason he could become a Tianshi is just one word: diligence.

I am best at this kind of slow and laborious work. Boy, can you do it?

Zhang Tianshi smiled quite complacently, and even looked at the little Taoist boys serving beside him with more favor. He immediately waved his hand and said something that made everyone's eyes light up.

"Do you want to learn the thunder method of Longhu Mountain?"
