Chapter 84: I Want a Gourd
His Majesty died, not only did Taoliu Lane fry in an instant, the people began to talk about it, and even the big families outside the palace walls began to gather secretly, wandering wildly between the various government offices, like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around.
Lu Yao faced the chaos without warning, and laughed that it was a tree that had fallen, and the monkeys had to find another tree in a hurry.
Sometimes the monkeys choose the wrong tree, and they have to take their own lives for their mistakes, and if they are unlucky, they may be wiped out along with the whole group.
This may be the reason why Lu Yao has not visited anyone's mansion in Luoyang in the past few years, and no one has made friends with any force.
"With the guidance of the Mud Bodhisattva, did you already know that His Majesty would die suddenly?"
At this time, I took a closer look at Lu Yao, and I found that he was so calm that it did not match his own age, and he didn't even look like a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
"The mud bodhisattva knows the heavens, and he can only count the sudden change of wind and clouds, and he didn't tell His Majesty that he would die suddenly."
Lu Yao has been very fond of going to the roof recently, I don't know if he enjoys the process of climbing high and looking into the distance, or if people always have a moment of leisure to look forward when they stand on a high place.
I saw that he looked in the direction of the palace and didn't speak, so I continued: "I don't know if it's an accident to know you and Master Dog, but I think you must have a special intention and expectation for giving each of us a title." ”
My title is the main book, the dog master is a military advisor, the rhubarb who eats and sleeps all day long is the nominal pioneer of this small courtyard, and Zhang Mazi is the tiger general.
"Does it matter?"
Lu Yao glanced at me for no reason, then bent his hands into a cylinder and looked at the courtyard of Mr. Storyteller and Fuji Girl at the corner of Taoliu Lane.
When I came to Luoyang, there was a sentence among the many truths I understood: "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit." The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit", this world can be guided by the situation, and the situation can be guided by the situation.
If I have no value, Zheng Beiyou will not recruit me into the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance, which makes me wonder: "What is my value to you?" ”
Compared with the dog master Zhang Mazi, I am not half a star, as the most dispensable existence in the entire courtyard, I am afraid that my value is not as good as the rhubarb of the gatekeeper!
"The value of people is not just looking at the present, the master has money, and the master is not allowed to invest for a long time?"
This reason is very far-fetched and almost unconvincing to me, but Lu Yao's words are at this point, no matter how much I ask and dig deeper, he will not tell the truth.
"What, don't you believe it?"
I looked at him with questioning eyes, but nodded back against my will: "I believe ......"
Lu Yao continued to look around, his eyes still focused on his most curious place, the advantage of standing on a high place was that he could look down on everything and look far enough.
"Do what you have to do because you believe."
Lu Yao's words made me a little confused, and after adjusting my mind slightly, I didn't shy away from asking him: "You don't seem to care about me joining the Phantom Sword Book Alliance. ”
"If you have the ability to hold the seal of the six kingdoms in the future, and lobby among the princes and the heroes, I can't be glad for this vision today."
I can't afford to wear this top hat: "Mrs. Jiang...... There has only been such a person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I don't have that ability. ”
Lu Yao was obviously avoiding my question, which meant that he didn't care what I was doing right now, he only cared about his own set goals.
Yes, he has his own set goals, and with extraordinary forbearance, he is waiting for the changes in the general trend of the world for his own plan.
Although I still can't understand what Lu Yao wants to do, I know that his vision and heart will not only pretend to be what his eyes can see.
The well-known mud bodhisattva chose to assist him and help him escape from Jing Kingdom, and has been secretly giving him advice, indicating that Lu Yao must have a shocking conspiracy.
In terms of strength alone, Lu Yao has no soldiers and horses, let alone a monstrous power that can shake the sky, if he wants to spy on the world of Kyushu, I am afraid that there are still some idiots who are dreaming and unrealistic.
In the small courtyard under our feet, the only strong person who can handle it is the dog master, although the dog master's strength is very strong, but it is not enough to make Lu Yao unscrupulous in the eastern capital.
Mo said that looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, even in the eastern capital of Luoyang, it is not a fearless existence, and if you want the dog master to make a move, it depends on his own mood, so Lu Yao's perception of his own strength has always been very clear.
Lu Yao couldn't even figure out the scholar in the alley, he now realized his own strength and ability, even with the help of a worldly master like the Mud Bodhisattva, he was still not enough to gain a foothold in Luoyang.
In the final analysis, he is still a proton abandoned by his mother country, with no strong background, no monstrous power, and the only people who can look up to him are this group of peddlers and pawns in the alley.
I saw that Lu Yao had been staring at Mr. Storyteller's courtyard for a long time, and he had always been worried about his loss, so I asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to provoke Miss Fuji and Mr. Stuffy Oil Bottle?" ”
Personality aside, I found that the storyteller who lived in the same alley as us was very similar to Zhang Mazi, acting cautiously and regularly, not talking much and rarely communicating with people, stereotyped like a walking statue, both moody and moody people.
"The emperor is burping, they haven't moved at all, isn't this very unconventional?"
The people often say that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, and I think the reason why the second girl is living outside the palace and is not tolerated by the royal family also shows that her identity is not important to the great dynasty.
After all, she was born of a merman, and shemales have different paths, even if she looks no different from ordinary people, she can't be accepted by humanity after all.
"Maybe she doesn't feel like her father at all, and she's used to her current situation."
Lu Yao pursed his lips: "You're talking about yourself, right?" ”
I was noncommittal and smiled bitterly: "You care so much about the second girl and the storyteller, do you also want to recruit the storyteller into your command?" ”
Lu Yao's ambition is not small, although I don't know exactly what he is going to plan, but with his unfathomable financial resources, it is obvious that he will not be willing to be just a proton who wanders in a foreign land for his life.
He once said that he would change his life against the sky, and I would like to know how he went against the sky and how he staged the change of life he said.
"I want a gourd!" Lu Yao replied speciously.
Lu Yao's words came from a short story in Mr. Baimei's commentary, saying that there was an old man who planted gourds at the foot of Taihang Mountain, because the gourd vine leaves gave birth to aphids, so he wrapped the gourd growing on the vine tightly with cloth, and a fellow villager saw it and asked him why he didn't kill the aphids, and only cared about protecting the gourd.
The old man's reply to the villagers was this: "I want a gourd."
Although this is just an interesting fable, it also illustrates Lu Yao's attitude.
I directly debunked Lu Yao's true thoughts and said: "What you want is not a gourd, you want to watch the fire from the other side and sit on the Diaoyutai from afar." ”
Lu Yao smiled slightly, probably thinking that my heart has changed a lot now: "Since you know everything, why do you knowingly ask." ”
"I just want to be sure." Saying that, I asked Lu Yao: "What are your plans next, continue to look at the situation in Luoyang and wait for an opportunity?" ”
"When did you see me stirring up trouble?" Lu Yao stopped looking and slowly walked down the ladder from the roof: "I said that I want a gourd, as for whether this gourd is usable or not, and whether it is bitten by aphids, I don't care, what I want is a gourd." ”
These words made me a little confused, it seems that I still overestimate my ability to judge the situation, and at the same time I am overconfident in my own knowledge of people, Lu Yao does not seem to be what I imagined, he has no intention of stirring up the situation in the Eastern Capital, and he does not plan to participate in the competition between various forces in the battle for power.
In the past few days, Yi Diandian's eyes were very strange when he looked at Lu Yao, I can't tell me about that feeling, I just feel that he is now a little uncertain whether it is for the dog master or the treacherous and changeable demon boy, to be precise, his divination skills are completely inaccurate for people's hearts and human nature.
When I got off the roof, Yi Diandian asked me curiously, "Does Lu Yao have a big move next?" Don't we have to nest in this small courtyard to show our strength in Luoyang? ”
I don't know if it's a person who has been practicing in the mountain gate for a long time and wants to make a name for himself in the secular world, whether it's Feng Tang Xiuji or Yi Diandian, they seem to have an almost crazy obsession with making a name for themselves.
I was a little dazed by Yi Diandian's inquiring eyes, so I had to scratch my head and say, "He just told me that he wanted a gourd." ”
Yi Diandian's eyes were dull when he listened, and he also learned that I began to scratch my head: "Gourd? ”
"The kind of gourd that my little uncle wears around his waist?" Yi Diandian continued to ask me: "What does he want the gourd to do?" ”
I don't know how to explain to Yi Diandian that the gourd that Lu Yao said is not something he knows, because what this kind of metaphorical words refer to, I don't seem to understand it now.
The only thing I can be sure of is that the opportunity that Lu Yao has been waiting for has not really appeared, which means that the wave caused by His Majesty's death has just begun, and the general trend of the entire court has not really shown its horror and edge.
From this, I seem to be able to understand the expectation and secret happiness in Zhao Qiansun's expression when he learned that His Majesty had died, I don't know if this is the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty or misfortune?
At this time, Zheng Beiyou has not yet summoned the guest Qing in the book alliance to offer advice to His Royal Highness the Prince, which also shows that they are also waiting for an opportunity, at this moment everyone seems to be very patient, and the quieter Luoyang is at this time, the more uneasy it makes me feel.
I am worried that if I am not careful, I will become an innocent monkey under the power tree, and if the two princes really fight for the throne, it will not only be the losing party that will suffer in the end, but also many innocent people.
Looking back at his original intention of joining the Book League, and then looking at his delicate situation at this time, Lu Yao is a bystander who stays out of the matter but always grasps the dynamics of the situation, this is really a master.
I couldn't help but look up at the blue sky above me, and I was filled with a series of confusions.
"What the hell are these people around me up for?"
"What secrets do they have?"
……
No one could answer me, and no one told me all about their complex thoughts, so it seemed that I had to dig up these secrets little by little.
