Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 857 Planning
When Old Man Lu left the palace, the sun was about to set, Zhao Wou-ki asked him to eat, but Old Man Lu refused, he didn't even think about eating now.

Walking out of the palace gate and getting into the carriage, Old Man Lu sighed long, his gaze became deep, Zhao Wou-ki actually didn't ask him to stay too forcefully, he just asked him to contribute, but the meaning was already obvious That's right, don't let him go!If Zhao Wuji doesn't let him go, where can he go in this world?

"What! The emperor won't let grandpa go?"

Back at the Lu Mansion, at the dinner table, Mr. Lu talked about Zao Wou-ki's attitude, and Xiaosan's expression changed drastically. It didn't seem like this before, didn't he mean to replay people?Why is it changed now?

Of course, in fact, Zao Wou-ki did not express his attitude before, but Mr. Lu felt that he had resigned, so it should be possible to resign his old age and return to his hometown, but who knows...

Su Bai and Xiao Wu's faces were also a bit dignified. This matter was somewhat beyond their expectations, but Su Bai didn't have too much trouble in his heart. Wuji will not let the other party go easily.

Xiao San turned to look at Su Bai and said, "Brother Su, what should we do now?"

Su Bai was taken aback, he couldn't think of any solution now, so he could only shake his head slowly.

Mr. Lu seems to have thought about it, and said: "Boy Su, you go away, the old man stays, and after living a long time, I don't want to move anymore. Since His Majesty lacks a friend like me, how can this old man abandon His Majesty and leave?" Where are you going?"

"No! Grandpa, you can't stay! If something really happened, wouldn't you..." Before Su Bai could speak, Xiao San spoke first.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "What could happen? Besides, even if something happens, the world has really changed. Who can do anything to an old man like me? Don't think too much about it."

Su Bai thought about it carefully, and felt that it was indeed such a ceremony. After all, no matter what the purpose of the four thousand-year-old families competing for the world is, if they really ascended to the throne, the world will still be governed, and they also hope that the world will be peaceful. Well, since that's the case, there seems to be no problem with Mr. Lu staying in Shangjing.

But Xiaosan said anxiously: "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about Zhao Wuji! He asked Grandpa you to stay and let you contribute. This is to make you return to court! Not to mention what other ministers in the court think, once The war is unfavorable, the Wu Dynasty is about to perish, will Zao Wou-ki put down the ministers and generals in the court?"

Xiaosan was very excited, and directly called out Zao Wou-ki's name, which was considered disrespectful, but he, who was always joking, was thinking more and more deeply than Su Bai at this time.

Su Bai frowned, he had forgotten this point, if the Wu Dynasty is over, other people may be fine, but the Zhao family will definitely not have a good end, this is something everyone understands, when that time comes, Zhao Wuji will What it will look like, no one can say for sure, if the other party really wants to make the ministers and generals in the court die, then Mr. Lu will be in danger.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Lu really can't stay. Of course, he himself has concerns about this. After hearing what Xiaosan said, he could only keep silent and didn't refute. He really couldn't refute. Prepare for this consequence.

"You can't stay in Shangjing, let's go! The world is so big, where can't we go?" Xiao Wu suddenly said in a deep voice.

Xiao San nodded and said: "That's right, with the abilities of the few of us, going out of the city is definitely not a problem. After all, the city has not yet been closed, and it is far from the time when the city will be closed. It is not a problem to go now, but... I am afraid of Zhao Wuji." Send someone after him."

Xiaosan stood up suddenly, frowned, turned around twice, and said, "It is true that Shangjing cannot stay, but there is no need to leave immediately. After all, the situation is not clear now. Although the four thousand-year-old families are strong, they cannot Immediately call Shangjing, so Shangjing is still safe for the time being. If they can't fight, then we don't need to leave. Once they really call, Shangjing is in danger, and it will be the time when Wu Chao is in danger. At that time, Zhao Wuji probably won't care about our whereabouts, that is the best time for us to leave!"

Xiaosan's eyes became brighter and brighter. What he said was also very reasonable. After walking around twice, he continued: "But this also needs to be grasped. You can't leave too early, and you can't leave too late. If you leave too early, Zhao Wuji will not let us go, if the time is too late, it may not be easy to leave Shangjing, so we must leave at an appropriate time, and this appropriate time is determined according to the changes in the battle situation between the two sides, unfortunately , We are afraid that we will not be able to get first-hand information, the court is the first to get the information, so the court may react first!"

Xiao San kept thinking, and said what he thought. At this moment, he didn't have the usual playful smile at all. Instead, there was a kind of wisdom in his expression. Looking at Xiao San at this time, Mr. Lu's eyes flashed with relief.

Xiao San suddenly raised his head and said: "So what we need most now is to grasp the situation on the western battlefield. If the war changes, we need to respond early, and leave Shangjing before the court reacts! What do you think? ?”

Su Bai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, he could only nod his head, expressing his agreement with the other party's method, after all, in his mind, this is indeed the best way now, what the other party said is very reasonable.

Mr. Lu's expression became relaxed instead, and he said, "Then the key to the problem now is the grasp of information. Third boy, tell me, how can we know the news on the battlefield in advance before the court gets the information?"

Xiao San couldn't answer this question. After all, if there was a change in the war, the news would definitely be delivered to Shangjing as quickly as possible. Presumably, the imperial court knew the information earlier, which is almost impossible.

He shook his head and asked, "Grandpa, what can you do?"

Mr. Lu sighed and said: "There is no way. The imperial court has many eyes and ears. Not to mention the spies who report the news, there are also many people who secretly investigate the news. There is a complete intelligence system. The old man was in the official department before, and has nothing to do with these It doesn't matter, our family doesn't have its own source of information, and some of the news I know was told to me by His Majesty, and it is impossible to know the information in advance."

"Grandpa, do you want to call him 'Your Majesty' now?" There was disdain in Xiaosan's words.

Mr. Lu frowned, with a displeased expression on his face. He is a loyal minister. Although he is not a foolish loyal minister, he will not be able to say anything that is disrespectful.

Xiao Wu was also trying to find a way, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said: "Is the 'Jiugong Gate' still there? The 'Jiugong Gate' has its own intelligence system. Can we find a way from the 'Jiugong Gate'?"

Xiaosan's eyes lit up when she heard the words, this is a solution, "Jiugongmen" does have its own intelligence system, and it is very complete!At the same time, he and Xiao Wu are both headhunters of the "Nine Palaces Gate", and even Su Bai is a headhunter of the "Nine Palaces Gate"!They were indeed able to get information from the "Nine Palace Gate".

Mr. Lu shook his head when he heard the words: "Although the 'Jiugongmen' has a complete intelligence system, the intelligence that the other party has is mostly information from the market. After all, the 'Jiugongmen' is originally an organization that manages the world. I'm afraid I don't know much about the things on the battlefield."

Xiao San's expression darkened. He had to admit that the "Jiugongmen" was indeed an organization established to deal with various incidents in the Jianghu, and it was indeed not compatible with the war.

But Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "You can't say that. After all, if the battle situation changes, there is no way to hide it. The 'Jiugongmen' spies are all over the world, and almost every big town has 'Jiugongmen' spies. They may not know the matter, but they still know the news about the fall of the city, and what we need is actually just such news."

Xiaosan regained her spirits and said, "That's right, we don't need too detailed information, we just need this kind of information! Anyway, I'll go to the headquarters of 'Jiugongmen' to have a look tomorrow!"

This can be regarded as a solution. Mr. Lu didn't say anything more, and things can only be done in this way for the time being. It is impossible to leave Shangjing immediately, so let's stay, check the situation first, inquire about the news, and wait for the battle situation change.

So Su Bai and the others stayed in Lu's residence like this. When Su Bai told Qin Junrong that he could not leave Shangjing yet, the other party's expression changed immediately. She was worried that she would not be able to leave Shangjing, and she was even worried that she would leave too late. After all, she There is a mission to go to Zhejiang Province, not to mention that something happened in Chang'an City, maybe the Fang family and the Qin family have already gone to Zhejiang Province. If she can't be found by then, wouldn't the two families be very worried?

Of course, Qin Junrong didn't know that the two families had indeed left Chang'an City and were already on their way to Zhejiang Province.

But when something like this happened, Qin Junrong had no choice but to smile wryly: "Brother Su, when do you think we can leave Shangjing?"

Su Bai shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to say now, just wait and see, you..."

Why did Su Bai not say, he wanted the other party to leave first, but after all, the other party is a woman who does not know martial arts and has a child with her. What if she encounters danger on her way to Zhejiang?Didn't he let the other party be with them just because he was worried about such things, so Su Bai opened his mouth, but didn't continue.

Qin Junrong was still in a trance, so she didn't pay attention to Su Bai's unfinished words, and she could only choose to stay in Shangjing temporarily.

In the next two days, Xiaosan and Xiaowu all went to "Jiugongmen" to report. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still the head arresters of "Jiugongmen", but they were not fired. This had a lot to do with their identities. The other two are also good, Xiao Wu is a first-class head arrester, and Xiao San is a famous arrester. Of course, "Nine Palaces" will not reject such talents.

Su Bai didn't go to the "Nine Palaces Gate". His identity is a bit special. Although he is also a head catcher, if it is based on his strength, with his current strength, he is definitely a god catcher!But he was a member of the fifth prince after all, and the fifth prince Zhao Yan was a rebel!

Besides, Su Bai didn't have any sense of belonging to "Jiugongmen". It was a bit of a coincidence when he joined "Jiugongmen". He learned martial arts in high school, but as his martial arts improved later, after he learned martial arts from other places, he no longer had this need. In addition, he felt that he was not the material to handle the case, so he didn't plan to be the head arrester.

Regarding Su Bai not going to the "Jiugongmen", Xiaosan and Xiaowu didn't say anything. Both of them knew that Su Bai didn't want to be a head arrester, and they went to the "Jiugongmen" this time to inquire about news, or to talk to him. Some probe joints, it doesn't take too many people, two of them are enough.

After a few days, thanks to the hard work of Xiaosan and Xiaowu, they also gained results. They took a line from Shanzhou. If something happened in Shanzhou, they would get news soon, which made the two of them heave a sigh of relief.

However, Shanzhou is still too far away from Shangjing. Even if there is a problem in Shanzhou and the imperial army is defeated, the four thousand-year-old families will not be able to come to Shangjing immediately. , the development of the battle situation, but this is only the first step, and of course they will find other spies to contact.

However, during the past few days, Zhao Wuji did not come to the Lu residence to chat with Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu said that Zhao Wou-ki did not come often, and it was normal if he did not come for a few days, but the other party said that he wanted Mr. Lu to contribute. , but there was no news after that, and he didn't ask Xiaosan Xiaowu and others.

Of course, Xiaosan Xiaowu might not be taken seriously by Zao Wou-ki, but Mr. Lu is different. Zhao Wou-ki obviously attaches great importance to Mr. Lu. Since he said to ask Mr. Lu to contribute, then there shouldn't be any movement. Yes, this can't help but make Su Bai and others wonder, what exactly is Zao Wou-ki going to do?
If there is no need for Mr. Lu to contribute, why not let Mr. Lu leave Shangjing?Judging from the current situation, it seems that Zao Wou-ki just wanted Mr. Lu to stay in Shangjing, and it was just an excuse to contribute!

This made Su Bai and the others very uncomfortable and even more worried, always feeling that Zhao Wou-ki had bad intentions!

There is another thing that makes Su Bai and others puzzled. Through the information of "Jiugongmen", they know that the war in Shanzhou seems to have calmed down again. After the sneak attack was successful and the imperial army was forced to Chang'an City, there was no follow-up offensive. According to the news, there was no enemy army outside Chang'an City!

This made everyone at a loss, what exactly was the other party going to do?What the hell are you doing?
