Chapter 257: Layout the world should be done early
The atmosphere in the inn is unusual, although the guest rooms are full of guests, but there are no guests in the front hall, and even the shopkeeper Xiao Er's face is uncertain, and he looks worried.
Zhao Yu and Tong Baitao found a private room by the street, ordered some wine and food, and chatted a few words while waiting. And the two people of the Haisha Gang were guarding the door of the elegant room like door gods, their eyes widened and they were full of vigilance, and even the little second who delivered the food was frightened and didn't dare to stay for a long time.
Sitting at the same table with the Demon Lord, even if the two sides are now grasshoppers on the same rope, Tong Baitao still feels a little uncomfortable. Although there are some considerations of good and evil, it is more because of the current status of the Demon Lord. Looking at the handsome and even somewhat delicate young man in front of him, and thinking of his huge power in calling the wind and rain and ruling the army, Tong Baitao was very restrained.
Today's Yangzhou City street is still a noisy look, not far away a team of heavily armed Miao soldiers cruising through the street, ordinary pedestrians extinct.
Zhao Yu picked up the wine glass, signaled to Tong Baitao, and sighed after drinking it all: "I really don't know when this chaotic world will come to an end!"
Tong Baitao didn't know what to say, and suddenly saw the Demon Monarch's fingers dipped in the tea on the table, and he made up his mind, moved the chair with his back to the door, and then responded casually, but wrote with tea on the table: "What are the plans of the Demon Lord?"
"Out of town. After Zhao Yu finished writing, he pointed to the door.
Tong Baitao thought about it for a while, and then he understood that the Demon Lord was planning to go out of the city with the convenience of the Yuan Chief Helmsman. He also knew that the atmosphere between the Chuzhou army and Zhang Shicheng was tense, and he wrote with a little worry: "Is there a hidden danger in this? Is it too risky?"
"Probably not. Zhao Yu planned in his heart, and it was inconvenient to share it carefully with Tong Baitao. This invitation to Tong Baitao had another idea, and while chattering, he wrote: "Yangzhou may have a real military disaster, and the head of Tong must be cautious." β
When Tong Baitao saw this sentence, his heart jumped, and he secretly said that Chuzhou was going to use troops to attack Yangzhou? This idea was immediately denied by him, although he was just an ordinary person from the rivers and lakes, he stayed here for a while, and he also had some understanding of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. For Chuzhou. Although Jiqing is a goal, it is also a bone spur in the throat, and the situation is extremely difficult if it does not go down for a day.
Now the family members and disciples are all trapped in Yangzhou City. Tong Baitao had to be cautious. asked Zhao Yu why he said this. Although the Miao army is notorious, the foreign soldiers besieged Yangzhou. But he definitely didn't dare to really attack Yangzhou for no reason. This is also the reason why although the situation in Yangzhou City is not good, it has not really been in chaos.
When Xiao Er exited the door, Zhao Yu wrote: "Yang Wan will die!"
At a glance. Tong Baitao's face changed suddenly. He really couldn't figure it out, Yang Wanzhi was now in the midst of heavy soldiers and sanitation, where did the Demon Lord get such confidence? Although he was curious in his heart, he no longer asked questions about this matter, but just nodded lightly in a deep groan, but he had already begun to think about what the situation would be in Yangzhou City if Yang Wanzhi really died, and how he and his disciples would be preserved.
Zhao Yu also had a slight understanding of Tong Baitao's concerns, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "I have to help the head of Tong, and I should have something in return." It's just that it's hard to protect yourself at the moment, and it's inconvenient to make empty promises. I still have some help lurking in Yangzhou City, if it is really urgent, I should help Tong to avoid this misfortune. Now there are other things to ask about. β
After Tong Baitao saw it, he looked at Zhao Yu with a little doubt, and then saw Zhao Yu continue to write: "I don't know what the plan of Master Tong is after leaving Yangzhou City?
Tong Baitao pondered for a moment, a few wry smiles appeared on his face, and he sighed and wrote: "This is a bit embarrassing, originally Wudang sent Zhang Zhenren to personally send a letter to invite, but it was disrespectful. It's just that the twists and turns in Yangzhou make me happy. To tell the Demon Lord, now I only hope that I can lead a group of disciples to return to their hometown safely, and from then on, I will close my business and never set foot in this chaotic world again. β
When Zhao Yu saw this, he couldn't afford to make fun of it in his heart. Since ancient times, the people do not fight with the officials, it has been deep-rooted, whether it is the small people or the rich families, or even the people in the rivers and lakes, there is no exception. Although the Mengyuan court is about to run out, it is still the master of the world after all, and although Yang Wanzhi's Miao army is tyrannical and cruel, it is also a real official army. This alone is enough to calm the hearts of the vast majority of the people. This taboo idea has nothing to do with the level of skill. Zhao Yu still remembers that when he first met Zhang Sanfeng on the bank of the Khan River, although this old man was transcendent in the spirit of the gods, he was still not exempt from vulgarity. It is not surprising that Tong Baitao had such a thought.
Putting aside these thoughts, Zhao Yu continued to write on the table with tea: "Even if you have the intention to escape the world, but today, where is the paradise?"
Tong Baitao saw this line of handwriting, and the description was slightly self-deprecating and sad, as if he had a deep sense of understanding. After pondering for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Can the demon and white brothers teach me?"
When Zhao Yu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a low smile: "My bottom line, Master Tong understands best." You are confused in your heart but come to ask me, don't you already have some ideas in your heart?"
After Tong Baitao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back without spinning his heels. The Demon Lord's words are straightforward, but the meaning is really intriguing. Ask yourself, although Tong Baitao has reached the age of no confusion, half of his life in the rivers and lakes, and there are no scenic deeds, but he still has some restless thoughts in his heart.
If the blood is really cold, he doesn't have to go through this because of an invitation from Zhang Sanfeng. Although Zhang Sanfeng is famous in the rivers and lakes, it is not worth the sacrifice of his life to follow irrelevant people. In the final analysis, I still haven't completely broken off my thoughts about this river and lake.
After thinking for a long time, Tong Baitao sighed and said, "Let Brother Bai laugh." The world is sinister, even the six major sects that are the mainstay of the martial arts in the Central Plains can't avoid the collapse of the halberd and sink into the sand, and the little tricks of the Laoshan faction are really not worth it......"
Zhao Yu waved his hand and smiled: "In the first life of a man, there must always be some injustice and unwillingness in his chest. We must seek the way of this world! Whether it is for fame or profit, if we do not have these thoughts, we will be born in vain! Cao Di said that meat eaters are despised, and the big men who are glamorous inside and outside may not be genuine heroes! Before Zhang Shicheng was excited, he was a pawn in the rivers and lakes, even if Corporal Lixian Sai Mengwei tasted it, he was afraid that he would not take a look at it. And today, who dares to despise him? Martial arts. The prince has no seeds, and he is reckless today, and he may not be able to guide the country on another day!"
Seeing Zhao Yu's intimidating gaze, he listened to the lowly but sonorous bytes. Tong Baitao's heart suddenly surged with a strange emotion. After a long immersion. Fang suddenly woke up. subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, just shook his head and said: "Brother Bai's words, although they are deafening. It's a pity that I was born foolish. I'm afraid that I have the heart and I can't do it......"
It's easier said than done to reverse a person's deep-seated thoughts. However, Zhao Yu didn't originally plan to confuse Tong Baitao with just one conversation, so he didn't care about Tong Baitao's answer. Skipping this verse, he added: "In the next few days, this inn may become a place of right and wrong." I'm going to be a villain who occupies the dove's nest and borrow this cross-courtyard from Master Tong. Later, I will arrange for my subordinates to properly settle the head of Tong and your party, and when the time is right, I will send you out of the city, okay?"
Tong Baitao nodded without thinking about it and said, "There is Brother Lao Bai." "He is also an old man, far from being a gullible person, especially since the other party is a big devil with a bad reputation all over the world. However, he can also see that this Four Seas Inn will become a place of right and wrong, not only the Demon Lord is here, but also the Sea Sand Gang, if he can stay away from right and wrong, it will naturally be the best. Second, after spending a moment with the Demon Lord, he already felt that this young man was very different from the rumors, and he did have an extraordinary bearing that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. Besides, he felt that he didn't have any value worthy of the Demon Lord's calculations at such a critical juncture, and it would be really difficult for him to get out of trouble by relying on his own strength.
Next, Zhao Yu didn't go into what to say, only talked about some interesting things about the rivers and lakes with Tong Baitao, and occasionally commented on various martial arts.
Tong Baitao was a little distracted, occasionally frowning and thinking, obviously after Zhao Yu's words, there was some indelible impact on his state of mind. However, he was soon attracted by some anecdotes and martial arts insights told by Zhao Yu. Talking all the way, I couldn't help but secretly admire in my heart. He is also an old man, but in front of Zhao Yu, listening to those interesting and insightful content, he can't help but feel an eye-opener.
Zhao Yu and Tong Baitao talked about those words, but they didn't do it casually, and they had already thought about it in their hearts. Although he is currently sitting in the city of sorrow, he has already begun to think about the plan he will face and spread after winning Jiqing.
At present, the land of Shandong can be regarded as extremely chaotic, this place is very close to the capital of the Yuan court, in addition to the power of the Yuan court, there are still the remnants of Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng also shows undisguised covetousness for Shandong. Although Zhao Yu can't directly intervene in Shandong at the moment, if he can leave a secret hand, it will be beneficial and harmless.
Although Tong Baitao and the Laoshan faction are not well-known in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Yu can still see some extraordinary things after careful observation. The disciples of the Laoshan faction, although their martial arts skills are not worth mentioning, everyone's temperament and cultivation are considerable. Among them, in addition to Tong Baitao's teaching, it is not unrelated to the temperament they have cultivated since childhood, which shows that the disciples of the Laoshan faction should be from extraordinary backgrounds, and their respective clans should have a strong influence in the local area. Moreover, in the current state of Yangzhou, the Laoshan faction can occupy an entire cross-courtyard in the inn, and its own financial resources are not weak.
Zhao Yu did not have the idea of seeking the entire Laoshan faction, but if he could use the influence of the Laoshan faction in Shandong, then the Chuzhou army would naturally have a lot of convenience for extending and developing in Shandong.
With such a thought, and Tong Baitao is also kind to himself, Zhao Yu will definitely protect them. However, he didn't have that leisure himself, but fortunately, it was not difficult for Wei Yixiao and Li Chengru to do this with the help of the secret camp.
After eating, the two were about to get up and leave, when there was a sudden sound of fighting on the street outside. Zhao Yu's heartstrings tightened, and he walked quickly to the window and followed the prestige. (To be continued......)
