What Wu Gui and the others left to Zhou Yunshu was the deployment plan of the Red Lotus Sect in Wolong Mountain and the timetable for patrolling and deploying defenses.
At this moment, the entire Red Lotus Sect was displayed in front of Zhou Yunshu at a glance.
"She will come to see you before three quarters of the hour."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, but he didn't know whether she would pretend to be the envoy who came to deliver supper to Qingfeng, or whether the envoy was just a pretext.
In the evening, before waiting for Wu Gui to come, Zhou Yunshu secretly added another meal for herself, two ham sausages and an apple.
No way, conditions are limited.
There was a pot in her space, but it was just a rice cooker. She had just stuffed it into her space when she came back from camping in modern times.
Before traveling back in time, space was just a place for farming and storing sundries to Zhou Yunshu. If she had known in advance that she would travel back through time, she would have filled the space to the brim.
Although she also has a lot of things stuffed into the space now.
After eating the snack, Zhou Yunshu felt that the hunger in her stomach had eased a lot.
As her belly gets bigger and bigger, she has to prepare some food for herself from time to time in addition to regular meals. Otherwise, she won't be able to hold on at the end of the day. It's really easy to get hungry during pregnancy.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Yunshu turned to look at the window where stones were thrown, and then there were three long and two short knocking sounds outside.
Zhou Yunshu put away the dagger in her hand and struck two short and three long blows on the table.
"Squeak~"
The window was opened, and Wu Gui, dressed in black, jumped out of the window nimbly. The moment she jumped in, Wei Zhong, who had been guarding Zhou Yunshu's door, also opened the door.
He looked at Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui, who were looking at him at the same time, and said, "I'm on guard."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, Wu Gui closed the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?"
When Zhou Yunshu saw Wu Gui looking at her belly, she nodded and said, "Everything is fine with us."
"That's good." Wu Gui naturally sat next to Zhou Yunshu and continued: "When are we leaving?"
"On the day of the birthday banquet."
"There are still three days." Wu Gui suddenly sighed.
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyes and looked at her.
"I..." She curled her fingers, "We can... we can't."
Wu Gui couldn't convince herself, so she rejected herself. It was very unrealistic to take Ansheng away.
When Zhou Yunshu saw that Wu Gui was in such trouble, it was probably because of the child who couldn't live without her. However, Zhou Yunshu looked at her and said, "He is the son of the Holy Mother of Red Lotus."
"I know, but Our Lady doesn't care that much about him."
Ansheng was more like a dispensable kitten or puppy to Our Lady of the Red Lotus. When he remembered it, he would call him over and touch a few of them at will. He would be indifferent for a while, and if he couldn't remember, he would just let his son fend for himself in any corner. destroy.
An Sheng's disappearance and almost being eaten by refugees is a typical example.
"Yuan Ruo misses you." Zhou Yunshu reminded Wu Gui.
Her son needs her care more.
"I know." Wu Gui's heart ached when she thought of her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"We can't make any mistakes in three days. We want to meet them safely."
Wu Gui looked at Zhou Yunshu and assured: "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Zhou Yunshu nodded. Wu Gui was very kind, but she had never failed in major matters. She was willing to believe her.
"I don't have much time. I want to know more about the Red Lotus Sect and the Red Lotus Madonna."
Wu Gui also knew the purpose of his coming tonight, so he immediately said: "The Red Lotus Sect is rumored to have been founded when the drought first began in Luzhou, but the maids around the Holy Mother of Red Lotus and Wu Qianshi's confidants were all members of the Red Lotus Sect. Before the emergence of the Lotus Cult, she had already been arranged beside the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus."
"Then the status of this Red Lotus Virgin is not low."
Wu Gui nodded and shook his head, "It should be said that the person behind the Red Lotus Virgin has a high status."
"Have you seen it?" Zhou Yunshu had already guessed that there was someone behind the Red Lotus Virgin, but she didn't expect to verify it now.
"I haven't seen it, but that person should be An Sheng's biological father. Wu Qianshi and others were also sent here by An Sheng's biological father in the beginning."
Wu Gui continued: "In other words, the Red Lotus Sect is what it is today, entirely because of the single-handed control of the man behind the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus."
If a man, or a man of status, establishes a religion, there must be deep meaning.
Zhou Yunshu didn't believe that he established this religion to save the people. After spending time with the Red Lotus Sect, she didn't think that they were such selfless people.
"Do you know what the Red Lotus does besides taking in followers?"
Wu Gui nodded and said seriously: "Did you know that the Red Lotus Sect is recruiting saints?"
"Know."
There was a touch of sarcasm on Wu Gui's lips, and he continued: "Recruiting saints under the guise of recruiting adopted daughters for Yang Bingtian and Princess Yuyang is actually just to find women for the emperor."
"ah!?"
This reason was something Zhou Yunshu had never imagined before.
"Looking for a woman for the emperor?"
"Yes." Wu Gui took a deep breath and said, "Many people know about this matter. So far, there have been hundreds of girls in Wolong Mountain who have come to participate in the selection of saints, including many daughters of rich and powerful families."
Zhou Yunshu once again thought of the Anshan County magistrate who tried so hard to let his daughter select a saint. Does he know about this?
Also, does Wan Liqing know about this?
The emperor and the saint...
"Are they planning to let Princess Yuyang bring these saints into the palace to sing sutras and pray for the emperor? These saints..." She suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Wu Gui and said, "Want to practice double cultivation with the emperor?"
Wu Gui looked at Zhou Yunshu with bright eyes, "Yes, how did you guess it?"
Zhou Yunshu showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth and said: "Now even the beggars in the streets and alleys probably know that our saint is crazy about wanting to live forever."
After all, he was the only emperor since the Zhou Dynasty who could put Taoist temples, Buddhist halls and other things that could be used to worship gods and Buddhas into the palace.
Zhou Yunshu had no doubt that if someone told the emperor that cultivating with these saints could extend his life, he would definitely accept it with joy.
"In that case, the Red Lotus Virgin and the person behind her have great intentions."
Zhou Yunshu suddenly said: "Tell me, who is the person behind the Red Lotus Virgin?"
Wu Gui shook his head. Zhou Yunshu didn't seem to expect her to give him an answer. He just said to himself: "It can't be Yang Bingtian."
"No way." Wu Gui smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Yang is a strict wife."
"And you also said that the person behind Our Lady of Red Lotus may be An Sheng's biological father, and Yang Bingtian is even less likely. I heard the maid next to Our Lady said before that Our Lady calls Master Yang brother."
Zhou Yunshu touched the cold side of the cup and said, "Brother..."
