Chapter 364: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (2-in-1)
While saying such incomprehensible words, accompanied by "Bang Dang! With a bang, these family members have already closed the door of the Oriental Family.
"Hehe......"
Zuo Yang turned around and stared thoughtfully at the vermilion lacquer door.
It seems that the Oriental family has really encountered some trouble, and it is not a small trouble......
Through the two keywords of "accompanying the king like a tiger" and "surnamed Zhu", it is not difficult to judge that this trouble is related to today's royal family, because the background of this game is the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor at that time was Zhu Di, who was called "Yongle Emperor" by later generations.
It's just that although he has got such an important clue now, Zuo Yang knows that this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the void, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the method of taking advantage of the void, otherwise it may be self-defeating if he is not careful...... After all, so far, he didn't know where the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace] was hidden, and he had to find a way to establish a good relationship with the people of the Dongfang family, and carefully find out the whereabouts of the treasure before proceeding with the next plan.
And he may only have one chance, otherwise once he is startled, the people of the Dongfang family will immediately strengthen their vigilance, and it will be even more difficult to find other opportunities at that time.
So everything still needs to be considered in the long run.
Zuo Yang felt that the best way was to inquire about the trouble encountered by the Dongfang family through other channels, and then prescribe the right medicine to approach the Dongfang family as a savior, so as to be able to get twice the result with half the effort...... Fortunately, he is now in Yanjing City, and it is much easier to inquire about the news, and the other identity is the leader of the "Outer Heaven" related to the Oriental Family, which is a more favorable condition.
I thought so in my heart.
Zuo Yang was not in a hurry at this time, he looked at the door of the Dongfang family twice, and then took a big stride and went straight to the "Louwailou......
……
The location of the "Louwailou" is closer to the center of the Imperial City than the Oriental Family, on a bustling street on the east side of the Forbidden City.
There are countless restaurants, green buildings, teahouses, and opera troupes on this street, although I don't know the detailed layout of Yanjing City when I first arrived, but through the location and scale, Zuo Yang can also see that this should be regarded as the entertainment center of the entire Yanjing City, whether it is a high-ranking official or a noble person, as long as you have money in your arms and want to have fun, there will be no mistake in coming to this street.
Of course, such an entertainment center will naturally become the distribution center of important news in the entire imperial city, whether it is anecdotes in the palace, or unverifiable rumors, or even if you are lucky and willing to spend money, it is not difficult to find out the major wind trends in the imperial court and the rivers and lakes recently......
The building outside the building is crowded into such a street, and it is the tallest building on this street.
Of course, it is still a cut short compared to the buildings on this street, and compared to the Forbidden City, which is not too far from here...... It's not that you can't fix it, but you have to bow to the imperial power.
Passing through this street full of ambiguous fragrances, as well as many temptations such as "Guest officer come to have fun~", "Guest officer, we have a few new cards, please come inside~" and many other temptations, Zuo Yang finally walked into the building outside the building.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The shopkeeper with a hat and a rag greeted him with a smile.
“……”
Zuo Yang ignored him, and came directly to the large counter on the right side of the door, looking at an old man sitting inside who was "crackling" and extremely skillfully fiddling with this copper abacus and quickly entering the account, raised his hand and tapped it lightly with his fingernails a few times, making a "tuk tuk" sound.
"Guest, what's the matter with you?"
When the old man heard the voice, he finally raised his eyes to look at him.
"What's the weather like today?"
Zuo Yang smiled and asked.
The old man's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly replied solemnly: "The weather is so sunny. ”
"Potpourri everywhere."
Zuo Yang smiled and continued.
"Whoa!"
The old man immediately shook the abacus again, zeroed all the abacus, and then stood up and looked left and right, and after finding nothing abnormal, he made a gesture of invitation to Zuo Yang, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”
"Please."
Zuo Yang followed with a slight bow.
The two came to the fourth floor of the "Louwai Building" together, and there was a private room at the end of the corridor, called "Caiyun Room".
The old man took Zuo Yang to the door of this private room, and then looked around, and then knocked on the door gently, "Knock! Knock knock! It is still the rhythm of the nature of the code that is unique to "Outer Heaven".
A moment later.
"Squeak!"
When the door opened, there was a pungent smell of wine, which made Zuo Yang frown slightly.
In addition to this, there is a familiar pretty face.
This person was none other than the eccentric little girl he had met several times in the "Outer Heavens" and asserted that her identity was definitely not simple.
"Is that you?"
Zuo Yang couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect this little girl to arrive first, and he didn't understand why this little girl didn't just go with him if he was coming, but he wanted to meet again when he got here?
"Come in and talk."
The little girl still looked cold, glared at him and said coldly.
"Okay."
Zuo Yang answered, and walked in directly, and then heard the door behind him close gently, and by the way, he also set up the deadbolt.
Zuo Yang knew that this little girl was his own, but he didn't care about these small actions, but took this opportunity to observe the layout of the whole room.
This is a very high-standard guest room, and there is a vertical screen at the entrance, which is used for the "shadow wall", and after bypassing the screen, there is an extremely spacious living room......
"Huh? Anyone else? ”
When he came to the living room, Zuo Yang knew where the pungent smell of wine came from.
I saw that in the center of the living room was a table of eight immortals carved from mahogany, which was full of leftovers, as well as several large wine jars, and there were many wine jars on the ground, in addition to a few broken plates, and no one cleaned up the food that was spilled on the ground.
In such an environment, a young man who looked quite handsome was lying on the table, half of his face was in close contact with half of a sweet and sour carp, constantly making a sound of "hum mmmm" and sleeping deeply, and he chirped a few times from time to time......
“?”
Zuo Yang turned his head to look at the little girl, saying that he didn't quite understand why there was such a second goods here, and he didn't understand why the little girl would "open a room" with such a second goods.
"He is the fifth young master of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Ling Shao, and our commission this time is related to him."
The little girl introduced in a cold tone.
"I see."
Zuo Yang responded calmly on the surface, but in fact, he was already overjoyed in his heart.
When he came here just now, he was still thinking about how to establish contact with the Dongfang family next, and finally gain their trust and inquire about the whereabouts of the [Mixed Yuan Casting Furnace], but he didn't expect that Tianwaitian sent him to Yanjing City to solve the problem of the Dongfang family, which is much simpler.
Murong Qing, this kid, really didn't lie to himself, he wrote down this credit first, and then rewarded him well when he had the opportunity to do so.
Thinking like this, Zuo Yang saw that the little girl had already found a chair to sit down, but she didn't seem to continue to say anything to herself, so she took the initiative to throw bricks and lead the jade again: "Speaking of which, on the way I came just now, I happened to pass by the mansion of the Oriental Family, and when I saw that the door of the Oriental Family was closed and the door was crowded, I was already a little strange in my heart, this depressed scene...... I wonder if it is also related to our commission this time? ”
"You're looking closely!"
The little girl rolled her eyes and reprimanded, "As a killer outside the sky, you are now the head of the dragon, you need to know that you don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is the way to live and live in the 'outside the sky'." ”
"Taught."
Zuo Yang saw that throwing bricks and attracting jade had no effect, and knew that her identity was not simple, so he pretended to bow his eyebrows and thanked him.
Thereupon.
There was silence for a moment.
Only Dongfang Lingshao's snoring could be heard in the entire room......
……
After a long while, Dongfang Ling Shao still had no intention of waking up.
"Hmph, you're well-behaved, forget it, while he hasn't woken up yet, I'm also boring, so I'll introduce you to the content of this commission in advance, so as not to waste time."
The little girl seemed to be very satisfied with Zuo Yang's performance this time, although she snorted coldly, but her face finally showed a stiff smile, and said, "But before that, I must solemnly warn you, as a top-secret commission, what you hear next is very important, not even a word is allowed to pass it out, otherwise you will not be just an enemy of the 'Outer Heavens', no matter how big the Central Plains Martial Arts is, you will no longer have a place to hide, do you understand?" ”
"Naturally, I understand."
Zuo Yang nodded, and then suddenly realized that just now, he had actually experienced a big or small test, and sure enough, the girl's mind was the most difficult to guess, even the NPCs in the game were the same.
"Well, listen carefully."
The little girl organized her language slightly, and finally said, "If you want to talk about the Oriental family, you have to start with the current emperor Zhu Di." ”
"Zhu Di is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who was named the King of Yan in the early years, and was in Yanjing City for a generation, and Zhu Yuanzhang made a rule a long time ago in order to prevent future generations from fighting for the throne, and the throne can only be inherited by the eldest son, so Zhu Di has no real dragon son life."
"As a result, people are not as good as heaven, when Zhu Yuanzhang did not die, his eldest son Zhu Biao had unfortunately died, in desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to establish a formal rule for the succession to the throne, he insisted on passing the throne to his eldest son and grandson Zhu Yunwen, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the year name 'Jianwen'."
"After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, many vassal kings supported their own troops, committed many lawlessness, and the court was lonely, so they secretly implemented the policy of cutting feudal domains."
"After three years of fierce fighting, Zhu Di finally captured Jinling City, the palace caught fire, Emperor Jianwen disappeared, known as the 'Battle of Jingyan'."
"The original intention of the 'Qing Jun side' was only to clear the traitorous ministers around Emperor Jianwen, so he could get the support of many supporters, but at this time, Zhu Di finally showed his true face, regardless of the repeated persuasion of his supporters, and insisted on announcing the succession to the throne, but not to inherit the throne of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, but to inherit the throne of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and the year name was changed to 'Yongle'."
"After that, Zhu Di began to tamper with historical accounts again, destroying all those records that contradicted his remarks, and establishing the East Factory and the West Factory and Jinyiwei to hunt down and kill loyal people and martial arts people who dared to tell the truth, trying to steal the beams and change the pillars, and cover up the fact that the rebels usurped the throne!"
Speaking of which, this little girl, who had always been cold, was actually a little excited, and even clenched her fists, as if this matter had a lot to do with her.
"However, what do these things have to do with the Oriental Family?"
Zuo Yang saw the abnormality of the little girl, but he didn't bring it up, but continued to guide and ask.
After all, as a physiognomy teacher, he often has to learn from history, so if this period of history is told by him, he can tell it in more detail than this little girl, and it is okay not to listen to it.
"Before the 'Battle of Jingjing' took place, Dongfang City, the current head of the Oriental family, determined that Zhu Di was not a thing in the pool, and after Zhu Di raised his army, he stood up for support as soon as possible, providing a large number of sharp weapons for Zhu Di's army...... After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was also rewarded by the imperial court for his meritorious support, and until now, the Oriental family will also provide unique weapons for the generals stationed at the border passes. ”
When the little girl said this, the expression on her face was very disdainful and disgusted, and she seemed to disappreciate what Dongfang City had done, but ......
It doesn't seem to be quite like that.
If this little girl doesn't look down on what Dongfang City is doing, why should she come to help the Dongfang family...... How could there be news in the rivers and lakes that the outer heavens are related to the Oriental family?
So, what kind of relationship is there between the Outer Heaven and the Oriental Family?
"Since the relationship between the Oriental family and the imperial court is so close, and Yanjing City, which lives at the foot of the Son of Heaven, why do you still need our help from the outside world? If there are any problems, can't you just solve them with the imperial court? ”
Zuo Yang asked deliberately.
"Hehe, maybe this should be called 'seeking skin with the tiger', right?"
The little girl sneered even more disdainfully, and even showed an expression on her face that could be called schadenfreude, and then continued, "The 'casting technique' of the Oriental family is unique in the world, and the control over the whereabouts of its weapons is extremely strict. And Zhu Di is a wolf with ambition, and he has long wanted to take the 'casting technique' of the Oriental family as his own, so as to control the Central Plains martial arts, which have always been under the control of the imperial court! ”
"So, what do you think?"
