When we returned to the inn, the sky in the east was already bright, and the heavy snow was about to begin.
Yu Zhi walked to Po Meng's body and pulled at it. After a while, many things were obtained from the corpse.
Entering the hall, Ye Qinghuan and Wang Dafu looked at Yu Zhi. Old Huang still looked drunk and confused.
"It's almost dawn. You two should take a rest first." Yu Zhi said, "I won't be on the road today. Let's rest here for a day."
Immediately, Ye Qinghuan closed his eyes again and rested his mind, as if he could fall asleep just leaning on the pillar like this.
Wang Dafu rolled his eyes, approached Yu Zhi, and said, "Young Master Yu, are you going to go up and find the man upstairs?"
Yu Zhizheng had this intention. The other party is protected by a great cultivator of the ninth level of the Monument, and he comes from Kyoto. Yu Zhi already had some guesses about the identities of those people.
However, if it was really him, why should he show kindness to himself?
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
This statement cannot kill everyone with a stick, but it does make sense. Especially at such a sensitive time, Yu Zhi had to be more cautious.
Yu Zhi looked at Wang Dafu and asked, "Have you known the identity of Xiao Yao for a long time?"
Wang Dafu scratched his head and smiled, still looking that simple and honest. "I have been on duty at the gate of Kyoto for many years. The most I see are the people coming and going. When I see some noble people, I will pay more attention. It happens that I have met one of them upstairs."
As he spoke, Wang Dafu whispered a few words in Yu Zhi's ear.
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yu Zhi scolded. Wang Dafu has never met the current prince, but
Wang Dafu said aggrievedly: "The commander of the guards of the East Palace is here, and that young master must be His Highness of the East Palace. I have never seen the true appearance of the prince, but the commander of the guards of the East Palace, Yan Zimu, often goes in and out of the capital."
Yu Zhi joked: "Hey, Wang Dafu, I think with your sharp eyesight, it shouldn't be difficult to get into a good place. Why are you still just a small city guarding hundreds of households?"
Since meeting Wang Dafu, Yu Zhi has clearly felt that Wang Dafu's ability to observe words and expressions is outstanding, coupled with the ability to talk to people and ghosts that he has honed over the years at the city gate guard station.
The city gate of Kyoto is not an ordinary place. There are traffickers, lackeys, and dignitaries who are welcomed and escorted there. If someone is hit in the eye, he may lose his head. Therefore, before going on duty every day, Wang Dafu would polish his skills, lest he offend that noble nobleman.
Wang Dafu sighed leisurely and said: "Master Xiao Yu, you don't know something. I was born in a poor family, and I only relied on some military achievements to reach the position of a hundred households. In this life, I just want to find a comfortable job. There is no one like me. When a person from a background becomes a high official, sooner or later he will be involved in the whirlpool of the court, and he may end up losing his head."
"As the saying goes, the three greatest blessings in life are getting promoted, getting rich, and killing your wife. I, Wang Dafu, think about it. I am afraid that the last two things will make me hopeless in this life. I just ask Master Xiao Yu to find a stable job for me in front of Miss Ruoruo. Take good care of your life."
Yu Zhi smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is right in front of you. If you behave well, wouldn't it be easier to do this if you flatter His Highness more?"
Wang Dafu shook his head and said: "Young master is joking. I can't hold the prince's thigh, nor dare I hold it. The higher you stand, the worse the fall will be. I know my destiny, and I don't dare to ask for it."
Yu Zhi smiled bitterly, and now he understood why Qiu Ruoruo had to let Wang Dafu follow him.
This person is truly a human being.
Just as Yu Zhi was about to go upstairs, Wang Dafu said again: "Master Yu, if you want to go with that person, I advise you to think clearly. After all, the relationship in that person's family is quite complicated."
When Yu Zhi heard this, he smiled indifferently.
The relationship in the family is complicated, isn’t it the third prince Xiao Jingyu we are talking about?
Who doesn't know about the current situation in the court that the third prince is bound to win the position of crown prince. With his achievements over the years and the support of many influential ministers, the situation is enough to threaten the current prince Xiao Jingyao.
The battle for the crown prince has been a long and cruel bloody storm in all dynasties.
The old and the new alternate, countless people die, and countless families rise and fall, and are lost in this storm.
Wang Dafu was reminding Yu Zhi not to get involved in this dispute.
But how could Yu Zhi care about this? He had no intention of getting involved, but given the current situation, Xiang Jinghao would never let him go. Xiang Jinghao is the eldest son of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu is a staunch supporter of the third prince.
Even if he was not close to the prince Xiao Jingyao, Yu Zhi had naturally stood on the opposite side of the third prince.
In the guest room on the second floor, Yu Zhi sat opposite Xiao Jingyao. Although he already knew the other person's identity, Yu Zhi did not reveal it clearly.
The other party was still Xiao Yao, not Xiao Jingyao, not His Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace.
"Thank you Brother Xiao for trying to save me," Yu Zhi said.
Xiao Jingyao was drinking tea. The teapot beside him made a gurgling sound. The water had just boiled.
Xiao Jingyao seemed to have expected that Yu Zhi would definitely come, and had been waiting for Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi also appeared.
Xiao Jingyao signaled Wan'er to pour Yu Zhi a glass.
"Brother Yu, you're welcome. As Brother Yu said before, I'm just returning a favor to Brother Yu."
Yu Zhi took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "At that time, anyone would have taken action, so it was not considered a favor. Moreover, Guo Songxian and I also had some grudges, so I just taught him a lesson."
When you asked me to take action, you were talking about returning a favor.
Xiao Jingyao didn't care, "Brother Yu, did you come here specifically to say thank you?"
Yu Zhi shook his head and said without any embarrassment: "I agree to your proposal at the mountain temple."
Xiao Jingyao:? ? ? What offer? When did I propose it?
"Brother Xiao and I hit it off right away, so it's hard to refuse. So we happily decided that we would go north together and take care of each other."
"But hasn't Brother Yu already refused?"
"Is there any?" Yu Zhi scratched his head and pretended to be stupid, "I don't remember. I only remember that I said that I could think about it. Now I have thought about it. Let's go together, big hands and small hands, we all They are good friends.”
I'm not an idiot. Now there is a great cultivator of the ninth level of the Monument as a bodyguard. This advantage will not be used in vain!
Xiao Jingyao smiled helplessly, and Wan'er joked at the side: "You are really shameless. You are worthy of the "shame of asking."
"Thank you for the compliment." Yu Zhi clasped his fists and agreed happily.
I don't know what the situation is, and I don't want to know.
All I know is that if I don’t find some way to save my life, I’ll be in trouble next time.
Besides, there are so many people who want to kill me, not least the third prince, nor the prince of Chu. If the third prince Shilaozi dares to kill me, I will kill him.
When Yu Zhi came out of Wenwen Academy, he didn't care about these monarchs and ministers. He only knows that if anyone bullies me, I will beat them up.
If I can't beat him, I'll look for Qing Huan. If Qing Huan can't beat me, I'll look for my uncle.
Does Yu know that there are still people in the world that a tenth-grade grandmaster cannot beat?
