Start from the thief

Chapter 545 The troops are divided into two groups

In the history or legend of previous lives, another transliterated name of Arthur is more widely known.

Arthur.

The legendary king of the Knights of the Round Table, a conceited tragic hero.

But Zhao Yushu had no idea what era he was from. He knew more about this old man from Daimao in a certain game...

But Zhao Yushu was at least certain of one thing, that many legends of the previous life were still reflected in this world. Similarly, Europe west of the Western Regions did exist in this world.

"Brother Zhao, this scabbard?"

Gao Xu was a little nervous. It would be a shame if the things he brought back from thousands of miles away were useless, but it would be too annoying if they had side effects.

"Very good, this thing helps me a lot."

Although Zhao Yushu didn't know what the scabbard was used for, judging from the current tests, it was not an ordinary item, and it might even be the key to his advancement to the seventh level.

But here comes the problem. Previously, the upgrade could be done by just touching the sword, but this time it doesn’t work. Is it because the items don’t match or for some other reason?

If I took the legendary sword in the lake instead of the scabbard, would I be able to upgrade directly?

Zhao Yushu couldn't figure it out, but it didn't matter. He had been stuck in the sixth level for a long time. He also gave the only harvest from Yuezhou, the red lotus seeds, to Lao Yang. Now any improvement in strength would be good.

It can also be used as a shield when necessary, after all, you are invulnerable to swords and guns.

Zhao Yushu pulled Madam Xu out of the scabbard. Both of them were undamaged, but the other swords still couldn't be stuffed in.

"Brother Zhao, I heard on the way that Yizhou is in chaos. You are the sixth master of the academy. I don't ask what you want to do, but if you need my help, please don't hesitate."

Zhao Yushu hooked Gao Xu's shoulder with a snap. "I'm not being polite to you, but the situation is really chaotic right now. It's so chaotic that I don't know where to start. I'll take you to see someone later, and you two can help me with some advice."

Zhao Yushu brought Gao Xu to the vicinity of the Cao family temple and asked the doorman to go in and pass the message. Soon, Fu Yun and Miao Yinhai came out together.

"Brother is here, why don't you come in and sit down, but wait here instead? Isn't this embarrassing for me and Fu Lang?"

After seeing Zhao Yushu's previous performance of knowing when to advance and retreat, Miao Yinhai became much more polite and behaved very appropriately towards this senior brother who was not in any danger at all.

"Haha, a friend of mine happened to come to Yizhou, so I wanted to invite Junior Brother Fu to get together and get to know each other. Why don't you come along, young lady?"

"You two men are chatting, so I won't go. After we finish chatting, please come over for a cup of tea."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Fu, let's go."

The three of them went together. The Miaoyinhai spiritual light circled around Gao Xu. He was just a cultivator of the second level of the heaven. There was no danger at all.

"Let me introduce you. This is Fu Yun. He has a kind heart and excellent swordsmanship. He is a good friend of mine."

Zhao Yushu did not mention that Fu Yun was a former disciple of Shushan.

"Hello, Young Master Fu. I don't need Brother Zhao to introduce me. My name is Gao Xu. I am a casual cultivator and also a businessman."

"My friend too."

Zhao Yushu added: "It's rare to meet an old friend, let's drink together today!"

The three of them raised their glasses, drank the food and chatted about daily interesting things. Gao Xu, in particular, talked about his experiences in the Western Regions. Not to mention Fu Yun, who had hardly ever left the mountain in his life, even Zhao Yushu was very interested. After all, he had never really traveled to the Western Regions in his previous life.

"But Brother Zhao, before I left last year, you warned me not to engage in human trafficking. I listened carefully. It's a pity that so many Hu girls whose countries were destroyed and whose families were ruined wanted to come to the Central Plains to beg for food. This is not considered a trade. They volunteered, so I had to refuse."

Gao Xu's eyes were blurry. It was impossible for such a small amount of wine to make a cultivator drunk. He must be recalling the good times in the Western Regions.

"Haha, Senior Brother Zhao has a good wife at home, so he doesn't dare to do anything reckless."

Fu Yun made a teasing remark, which instantly caused the two men to sneer together.

"When we came to you just now, it was Miao Yin Hai who was talking all the time. Junior Brother Fu, now you dare not even speak without the beautiful lady's nod?"

Zhao Yushu proudly poured a glass of wine and said, "You dare to say that to me? Let me show you how I can insult you."

"Yes, Master Fu, I think that girl should be from Tibet, but in Tibet, men are also the head of the family, you, haha."

Fu Yun's face suddenly turned red: "I, I just don't want to compete with her!"

Zhao Yushu and Gao Xu laughed so hard that Fu Yun was so angry that he forced them to drink three glasses of wine.

"Brother Zhao, we've almost finished drinking, and it's quiet here. Just now you said you had something to ask us for advice, what is it?"

Gao Xu put down his wine glass, told the waiter not to disturb him, then closed the door of the private room and asked.

"You two are my best friends, so I won't hide anything. This is actually the case."

Zhao Yushu cut to the chase and told them all about what he had done while constantly changing his identity in Yizhou. The two men's faces kept changing as they listened. They were both worried about Zhao Yushu's boldness, but also admired his wit and courage.

"So, I'm stuck now. With the leader here, I can't kill Duoji and the people from the underworld. The day of competing for Yanhui's corpse is coming soon. The leader will definitely do something, but I haven't found his flaw yet. I can't even figure out what he's going to do. Sigh."

Fu Yun and Gao Xu looked at each other. They did not ask Zhao Yushu what they could do. If Zhao Yushu knew what they needed to do, he would definitely not be polite.

"Brother Zhao, Young Master Fu, you mentioned earlier that there are some warriors recruited from Chang'an?"

"Yes, although they are all mortals, they are also considered masters, but they are all evil people. Senior Brother Zhao said that they must be eliminated after the incident."

Fu Yun interjected.

"Well, they are still looking for Nong Shouguang's whereabouts, but they probably can't do anything about it. How about leaving it to me?"

Zhao Yushu and Fu Yun looked at Gao Xu at the same time.

"What does Brother Gao want them to do?"

"Not only them, Her Highness Yue Ji has also arrived in Yizhou. I have done business with her in the Western Regions, and I plan to visit Yue Ji again."

Zhao Yushu became more and more interested in Gao Xu's purpose. Although this person's cultivation was not high, his eyesight and adaptability were first-class. Back then at Longmen, Gao Xu was the first person to see the real purpose of the ghosts and Buddhas blocking the door.

"Okay, Brother Gao, just do whatever you want to do, but do you need our cooperation?"

"I really need the help of Master Fu. My cultivation is not high, and I am afraid I can't suppress these people. My purpose is not to keep them in the city, but outside the city."

"Outside the city?"

"That's right, Brother Zhao is trapped in a situation where he has to deal with top monks, but he seems to have forgotten that Yizhou originally had two lines. One is that the leader tried to use the dispute over the Buddha's bones to turn the monks here into blood food, and the second is that secular forces wrestled with each other to decide the ownership of Yizhou. These two lines seem to intersect, but they are actually different. Have you ever thought about this? No matter how the nobles of Yizhou make decisions, the real winners and losers are the armies that are nowhere to be found."

Zhao Yushu's eyes lit up: "Brother Gao, that's a good idea, but what can a few dozen mortal warriors do against tens of thousands of troops?"

"A sharp knife, whether it can stab someone or not, as long as it is exposed, it is enough to scare the opponent, and fear will make him hesitate. A moment of hesitation can determine the direction of a war. Brother Zhao, leave it to me."

Zhao Yushu slammed the table and said, "Okay! Not only that, I want to introduce someone to Brother Gao."
