Chapter 71 The So-called Crisis

Zhao Yu is not a fool. How can the Liao people not guess the sinister intentions? But what if you know, refuse to accept it?

Zhao Yu knew very well that once he accepted the reward from the Liao Kingdom, he would inevitably be slandered and abused by the Song Dynasty court, and even be criticized for stolen the country. After all, the Song and Liao Dynasty had been fighting for more than a hundred years, and countless soldiers and civilians died because of this. Not to mention the deep hatred, it would be almost the same.

If Zhao Yu was from this era and was influenced by Confucianism, he might have really refused to go to Liao Kingdom.

But Zhao Yu is not those Taoist priests who speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Moreover, after a thousand years, whether it is the Jurchen or the Khitan, they all have a unified name, called the Chinese nation.

Zhao Yu may not be able to change anything, but he will do his best to prevent the people of the Central Plains from being poisoned.

Those so-called kind-hearted and ambitious people who can only shout slogans will be just a joke in the end.

In this era of the strong prey on the weak, no matter what you do, the first thing you must have is power. Only by mastering greater power can you fully display your ambitions in your heart.

Fortunately, although Zhao Yu received the imperial edict from Emperor Tianzuo, it was almost the same as the one who snatched it, otherwise the people around him would probably leave him.

Although the envoy of the Liao Kingdom wanted to urge Zhao Yu to get off as soon as possible, Zhao Yu ignored him because there were too many things to arrange, so how could he leave in such a hasty way?

After checking into the inn in the evening, Zhao Yu first found Liu Heizi, Fat Hu and Song Zhong.

As soon as they entered the door, the three little brothers fell to the ground, but their eyes turned red before they could speak.

"Your brother is not dead, why are you crying? Don't embarrass me, stand up quickly."

Before I was exposed, I had fought with others a lot, which was a life-long friendship.

After the three brothers stood up, Liu Heizi took the lead and said: "It turns out that as your highness expected, Li Yan, the bastard, immediately drove all of us out after learning that you were demoted."

Fat Tiger took over and said, "Also, the dog thieves on Bianliang Road have also begun to smash our field. The foundation you have worked hard to build is over."

"Fortunately, Your Highness has foresight. During this period, all the money we saved through gambling games has been hidden, otherwise the losses will be really big."

"Boss Jiang is not reliable anymore. After something happened here, I went to find him, but he actually disappeared. This ungrateful mess, when I see him again, I have to chop him up."

The three brothers said to Zhao Yu all the things that happened in the capital after Zhao Yu was demoted.

Zhao Yu just listened quietly, with no turbulence on his face. To be honest, he did not blame anyone. Human nature is evil and there is nothing to be angry about.

Whether it is Li Yan or Boss Jiang, everyone gathers together, but they all use each other. Now they have no value for their use. It is normal for them to draw a clear line between themselves for their own interests.

"What are your three plans in the future?"

"Of course we are following His Highness."

Liu Heizi reacted quickly. As soon as Fat Hu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that according to His Highness’s instructions, there were still more than one million taels of silver buried in Bianliang. Could it be that His Highness plans to go back again?

Zhao Yu nodded at Liu Heizi and smiled and said, "It seems that Heizi understands my thoughts. It's good. I will go back one day sooner or later, so before that, I hope someone is lurking in Bianliang. First, I will inform me of the news at any time, and also be prepared to welcome me."

Zhao Yu's words seemed to have opened another door for the three brothers, making their hearts suddenly bright.

Although Zhao Yu still has a noble status, he went to a foreign country after all. If it were not forcibly, who would have left his hometown?

The three brothers can stand out among the many gangsters and are very smart, so when Zhao Yu finished speaking, the three brothers quickly reacted.

After taking a look at each other, they bowed and said, "I wish to die for Your Highness."

"No one is allowed to die. Some are glory and wealth waiting for you. You are my most trusted brothers. Only by leaving such a dangerous task to you can I feel most at ease. After you disguise yourself, you will go find someone and stay with her. In this way, even if there is any accident, she can protect you."

After hearing Zhao Yu's words, Liu Heizi couldn't help asking: "Who is your highness talking about?"

"Li Shishi! If you find her, just say I asked you to surrender to her."

There is no reason, Zhao Yu believes that Li Shishi will definitely help him based on his intuition.

The brothers and the others planned until dinner, and the three brothers left quietly. At this time, the Taiyuan Prefect Liu Wenguang had been waiting outside for a long time.

Zhao Yu had no intention of seeing him at all. He said he was unwell and asked Yan Qing to send him away. Now he was thinking about getting close, it was too late!

The matters in the capital have been arranged, and there is still Taiyuan.

After dinner, Yang Xu, Lu Zhishen, Shi Qian and Yan Qing were brought in.

The Liao king's robe, golden crown and other items brought by the Liao envoy were placed on the table. After Yang Xu came in and saw it, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "I didn't expect this to be the ending. Your Highness's life will be even more difficult."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yang is knowledgeable and talented, I don't know how to explain the word crisis?"

"Crisis! Danger and opportunity coexist, but your highness's reputation is probably going to be ruined."

"Can reputation be eaten as a food? There are so many famous scholars in the court in the world. Who can make the people full? Who can fight against the enemy on the battlefield?"

Zhao Yu sneered and shook his head, and turned his eyes to Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian, and continued: "Sometimes I really envy Brother Lu and Shi Qian and others, who are all in the world, enjoy the revenge, and how free and happy it is. Unfortunately, my identity is destined to be able to do these things secretly."

"If brothers are unwilling to go to Liao Kingdom, we brothers will find a place to occupy it. With the talent of brothers, we may not be able to achieve great things in the future."

Lu Zhishen was outspoken and said whatever he thought. If he hadn't recognized Zhao Yu, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to the people in the court!

Zhao Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Yang Xu again: "What are your plans for Brother Yang next?"

"Your Highness is so unrighteous to ask this. I have your mark on me. If I don't follow you, will I have a way out?"

After spending a long time with Zhao Yu and his gang, Yang Xu also brought the breath of the world inside and outside.

"Haha! It's mine, it's not. I'm sorry to Brother Yang here."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu's face turned aside and said, "This is my root. One day I will come back, so I'll ask Brother Yang to take care of the backyard for me. Brother Lu and Brother Shi Qian, I can't force you anything. If it's convenient, please help me."

Zhao Yu's posture is a bit like entrusting an orphan, but the three of them are not ordinary people after all. From Zhao Yu's arrangements and attitudes, they have already understood Zhao Yu's thoughts.

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "I have recently found a few loyal and righteous people. After I have straightened out the situation here, I will go to Beijing to find you and let Shi Qian follow you! He is fast and it is most appropriate to pass messages back and forth."
