That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 293 The Jiangbei Jackal Calls Ayu

Ever since Xu Beiyou took the lead in recruiting apprentices on behalf of teachers, a woman from Qizhou named Wu Yu broke into Jiangdu's sight.

Jiangdu is not as good as the imperial capital. If it is said that the emperor is dominated by men, and all the people who turn the clouds and rain there are men, then Jiangdu truly allows women to hold up half of the sky.

Splendid Jiangnan, the bustling Jiangdu, and the ten miles of Qinhuai, there are all kinds of women here, and there are many women who can stand out. Now that there is another Wu Yu, no one is surprised or surprised.

Now everyone in Jianzong knows that Xu Beiyou attaches great importance to this newly recognized junior sister. Although Wu Yu has not yet been in charge of any specific affairs, it will be a matter of time, and Wu Yu's position is also very interesting. The one who was admitted to Jianzong should be the young master's person, but she is also on good terms with the son-in-law Li Qinglian and loves her as a sister. Many people will inevitably ask whether her surname is "Xu" or "Li" .

If the surname is "Xu", that's fine. If the surname is "Li", is it simply "Li" or "Zhang" after the surname "Li"?
This will involve the dispute between the old and the new that is gradually surfacing within Jianzong, because Li Qinglian is no longer Xu Beiyou's opponent, so it has become a dispute between the "new emperor" and the "empress dowager", although the "new emperor" She is still young, and she will not be able to let the "Queen Dowager" feel at ease for a while, but she is pressing every step of the way, showing a slightly aggressive attitude.

Wu Yu didn't want to be involved in the undercurrents of Xu Beiyou and Zhang Xueyao, so he concentrated on practicing sword every day, but hiding from the wind and rain could not stop the wind and rain from coming. Xu Beiyou was fine, but another person came to the door.

Wu Yu followed her mother to believe in Buddhism since she was a child, and worshiping Buddha and offering incense has almost become an unshakable habit. Since she settled in Jiangdu, she would go to Jiming Temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of every Lunar New Year.

Today coincides with the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Wu Yu came to Jiming Temple early in the morning. After offering a stick of incense, he sat quietly in front of the Buddha for half an hour. Seeing more and more pilgrims, Wu Yu lost his mind to stay and came out of the main hall After that, instead of going through the noisy main entrance, he turned to a side entrance with few people, planning to leave from there.

When she walked to the side door, a man less than 30 years old walked up to him. He was dressed in black and had a handsome face, but there was a sinister look between his eyebrows and eyes. When ordinary people saw it, they would inevitably say something. The eagle looks at the wolf and Gu Zhixiang.

The young man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Wen Chun said with a smile: "Miss Wu, it's true that we never meet in life, I never expected to meet you here."

Wu Yu stopped in his tracks, slightly surprised, and said, "It's you?"

The man hummed, and said with emotion: "Back then, when we parted ways in Jeju Prefecture, you and I haven't seen each other for three years. Things are different."

Wu Yu was in a trance for a moment, and then calmly said: "It's just good luck to trick people, by the way, why have you come to Jiangdu?"

The man replied briefly and concisely: "It's official business within the sect."

Wu Yu snorted, and didn't intend to continue asking. The man who was not half sharp today didn't care, and said with a soft smile: "Let's not talk about this, I heard that you have now worshiped under the sword sect, and you are also the young master of the sword sect. My junior sister, congratulations."

Wu Yu was noncommittal and said nothing.

The man suddenly asked: "Miss Wu, you and I are old acquaintances. We met by fate. I happen to want to trouble you with something. Can I agree?"

A coincidence could be fate.

Two coincidences are probably premeditated designs.

Wu Yu thinks that she doesn't have any ingenuity, only being cautious. These years of handling the affairs of Yanyu Building have also made her no longer the ignorant and ignorant boudoir girl she used to be. She has already had her own considerations about people's hearts.

This person's surname is Zhang and his name is Daoshuo, and he is considered a half-acquaintance.

Wu Yu used to be the head disciple of Yanyulou, and Yanyulou was rooted in Qizhou. Kunshan, which happened to be located in Beizhili, was not too far from Qizhou. Zhang Daosuo often went to Qizhou to deal with the affairs of the sect, and met Wu by chance. Yu.

From Wu Yu's point of view, there is no romantic romance between the two of them, nor is there an unforgettable hatred as deep as the sea, they can only be regarded as nodding friends who know each other like water.

This time the two met again in a different place, of course it was not a chance encounter, but the result of Zhang Daosuo's careful planning.

Because Xu Beiyou didn't mention the matter of Kunshan and Zhang Zhaonu to Wu Yu, so Wu Yu didn't think much about it at first, but at this moment, she was startled, but her face remained calm, saying: " Speaking."

This is what Zhang Daosuo admires most about Wu Yu, calm and calm. Although he has never been short of women, he still lacks a wife who can be the main wife of the East Palace. He once planned to propose marriage to Yanyulou at a suitable time, but he did not expect that In an instant, the ashes disappeared, and Wu Yu was nowhere to be found, which made him give up this idea for the time being.

It wasn't until Xu Beiyou held a grand apprenticeship ceremony for Wu Yu to join Jianzong that Zhang Daosuo learned that Wu Yu had changed his school to worship under Jianzong, and that he was also a direct disciple of Gongsun Zhongmou's lineage.

It has to be said that the encounter was wonderful. After getting the news, he followed his adoptive father to Jiangnan, and he might even borrow a helping hand from Wu Yu.

Zhang Daosuo didn't circle around, and cut to the chase: "I came to Jiangdu this time because I was ordered by my adoptive father. I want to meet the young master of the Sword Sect and talk about the Chu Clan's Sword Cottage."

Wu Yu didn't speak.

Zhang Daoshuo went on to say: "Your brother Xu Gongzi is now in charge of the power of the Sword Sect. It's not like I can compare it. If I visit the door rashly, I'm afraid it will be a little abrupt, so I want to ask Miss Wu to pass it on to me." Just a word, I would like to ask Mr. Xu to meet you, I have already selected the place, it is in Tianxiang Tower, how about it?"

Zhang Daosuo spoke calmly, as if he really just came to meet the young master of Jianzong, and the two of them could even talk happily over wine.

Wu Yu said flatly: "My senior brother is very busy."

Zhang Daosuo smiled and said, "How busy are you? Don't you even have the time to see each other?"

Wu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, if I can see him, I'll send you a message."

Zhang Daosuo still had a faint smile on his face, but his tone was a little bit more serious, saying: "It's not if, but it must be done. This is a major event, and there is no delay."

Wu Yu still had a lukewarm attitude, shaking his head and said: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

The smile on Zhang Daosuo's face froze slightly, and he said: "Miss Wu, it's just a meeting, you are his junior sister, you can't even do this little thing, right?"

Wu Yu glanced at him, and said in a cold tone, "How can there be certain things in this world? Senior brother will not let me intervene in the affairs of the sect for the time being, so no matter how big or small, I can only do my best."

Zhang Daosuo's complexion finally became gloomy, "Miss Wu, I advise you not to toast or eat fine wine."

Wu Yu slightly raised his eyebrows, and his tone turned completely cold, "This is Jiangdu, Jiming Temple, not Jiangbei, and it's not a place where you can run wild."

Zhang Daosuo's face changed slightly.

After all, Jiming Temple is a famous Buddhist temple that ranks high among the Buddhist sects. Even if there is indeed an Arhat in the realm of the earthly fairy hidden in the temple, he will not be surprised at all.

It is true that Kunshan is well-known in the Jiangbei area. Relying on the prestige of their adoptive father, these adopted sons dare not say what they want, but they don't have to worry too much about others, but this is Jiangnan after all, and Murong Xuanyin is still going to return here. Zhang Zhaonu I dare not say that everyone will give him a face.

Wu Yu was about to leave.

Zhang Daosuo sneered and said, "Miss Wu, it's true that you are worshiping under the sect of Jianzong now, but don't forget that your former junior sisters are still in Qizhou. I dare not touch you, but it doesn't mean I dare not touch you." Move those junior sisters of yours."

Wu Yu's face changed suddenly, and he pressed the long sword at his waist in an instant.

There was a little smile on Zhang Daosuo's face again, and he said softly: "Miss Wu, don't be impulsive, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, you have to think clearly."

Wu Yu was silent for a long time, and finally let go of the hilt of his sword, and said dejectedly: "I will invite my brother."

The corners of Zhang Daosuo's mouth curled up, and he smiled lightly: "Miss Wu, I advise you not to try to play tricks, after all, it is a matter of human life and nature."

Wu Yu bit his lower lip lightly and didn't speak, which was his tacit consent.

Zhang Daosuo turned and left, and left a sentence, "After this incident, I will entertain Miss Wu in this city of Jiangdu, and I hope that you, Ayu, will give you the honor."

The word "Ayu" was deliberately bitten down by Zhang Daosuo.

Wu Yu stood where he was, his face was like the heavy frost of late autumn.
