Lanxiang Academy, outside the cafeteria.
Tieniu looked at his master who was looking like a dog, and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
I didn't expect that my master, who was so cold in the past, would have such an unknown side.
But that ordinary-looking cafeteria aunt was so cold to her master!
Even at this age, we are still being pushed back and forth like this. It's really immature at all!
Tieniu thought this and was planning to find a cool place to stay to reduce his own consumption and wait for dinner.
Suddenly, he saw his master walking towards him with a wicked smile on his face.
Tieniu instinctively felt that a crisis was approaching. He subconsciously wanted to run away, but was stopped by his master.
"Tieniu, my master has something to discuss with you."
"Are you interested in traveling far away with me?"
"I'm not interested, I don't want to go!"
Tieniu bluntly rejected Shi Zixin's request.
Are you kidding me? The food at Lanxiang Academy is so delicious, and I’m not crazy. How could I possibly travel far away?
Moreover, given Master's economic conditions, it is normal to be hungry for eight meals in three days.
Although Tieniu is naive, he is not stupid. He still figured it out clearly about this kind of transaction.
But he still underestimated his master.
He saw Shi Zi smiling, his body flashing past, and he appeared directly in front of him.
He stretched out his palm and easily grabbed Tieniu's collar and said:
"Tie Niu, tell me what I asked you to do, and when did you discuss it with me?"
Tieniu's expression changed, and he said with a puzzled look on his face:
"But Master, it was clearly you who took the initiative to ask me."
"Ahem... I'm just asking a casual question, you don't have to pay attention."
Shi Zixin was not shy about his words and finished speaking without squinting, then subconsciously looked towards the canteen not far away.
Sure enough, he saw a figure staring at him in that direction.
Suddenly, he felt a little more energetic.
"Tieniu, you said you were eating and drinking from Mr. Yang all day long, are you embarrassed?"
Hearing this, Tieniu could not help but feel a flash of embarrassment in his eyes.
"To be honest, Master, I don't think it's appropriate either. But the food at Lanxiang Academy is not only delicious, but also filling. You also know how much I eat. If I leave Lanxiang Academy, won't I starve to death outside?"
"Well...what you said does make some sense."
Shi Zixin nodded slightly, and then continued:
"But now Mr. Yang is going to Youzhou to discuss a business deal. Now Da Zhou and Hou Jin are at war. Since you have received favor from Mr. Yang, shouldn't you do something?"
"Mr. Yang is going to Youzhou?"
Tieniu's expression paused, and then he immediately said:
"If this is the case, I must follow Duke Yang to protect him no matter what. Duke Yang is a good man, and he cannot die in the hands of the Hou Jin people."
Hearing this, the smile on Shi Zixin's face became even brighter.
"So I want to send you to go to Youzhou with Yang Dong. Do you understand?"
Tieniu nodded slightly, but immediately his eyes became filled with doubts.
"Master, but my strength is not as good as Mr. Yang. If I encounter an enemy that Mr. Yang cannot handle, even if I go up, it will be in vain. So..."
"So we need to take action for our teacher, right?"
Shi Zixin seemed to have figured out Tieniu's idea and continued:
"Don't worry, I will go with you on this trip to Youzhou."
"Is this true!?"
When Tieniu heard this, an overjoyed expression burst out on his face.
Shi Zixin turned his attention to the aunt in the cafeteria.
This time, I really spent a lot of money. She should be able to forgive herself at the Spring Equinox...
As for Yang Dong, what kind of character is this kid?
To think that the Spring Equinox is so valued...
…
Shangqing Palace,
There was a hint of worry in the empress' eyebrows.
She looked at the blue bird and asked reluctantly:
"What did Mr. Wei say? Are you still unwilling to take action?"
There was also a hint of confusion in Qingniao's eyes.
"Your Majesty, Wei Gong said that he is currently practicing cultivation and at a critical moment, he cannot escape. Therefore, he cannot escort Xiaodongzi to Youzhou. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Is that so..."
The empress rubbed her brows worriedly, and after pondering for a moment, she asked unwillingly:
"Then Mr. Wei said, which disciple can be sent to escort me?"
The blue bird hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei's disciples are closely monitoring the movements of Guyuguan. Therefore, he has no time to spare..."
When the empress heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in her phoenix eyes.
"I know it. If that's the case, then forget it."
On the other side, Qingniao opened his mouth, intending to defend Mr. Wei, but found that he couldn't get a word in.
She was brought up by Mr. Wei since she was a child, and her feelings towards Mr. Wei are like that of a father and daughter.
"That's all, you go down first, I want to be alone."
The empress waved her hand a little tiredly, asking the blue bird to retreat. Immediately he sat alone at the desk and fell into deep thought.
Mr. Wei, Mr. Wei, what do you think?
The Houjin Iron Cavalry is coming south, do you have other plans, or...
On the other side, Yang Dong, who had arranged everything, was making the final plan.
On this trip, I took Zhu Qing and Zhu Yu with me, especially the rampaging loli Zhu Yu, who was an indispensable person for this trip.
Shen Laosan wants to take charge of Liuli's business in the capital, so he won't be taking him with him this time.
Shu Xiaoxiao insisted on himself and took it with him.
Wanyanyue is Houjin's little princess, so she has to be brought along...
By the way, I have to say hello to Ma Bufan and ask him to send a brave army to support him. If you encounter any trouble, you should have backup plans.
The only thing missing now is high-end combat power.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong couldn't help but feel worried.
Without Hong Laoliu, his own safety would not be guaranteed. From this point of view, how important it is to have an expert protecting you.
In fact, even Yang Dong himself didn't realize that the great martial artist's cultivation level was basically already strong in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Unless he meets a reclusive expert, he can even walk sideways.
That's all, let's keep a low profile along the way.
Yang Dong sighed lightly, and at this moment, he heard Shu Shushu's report.
"Mr. Yang, there is news from Lanxiang Academy that there is a man named Tieniu who wants to see you."
tractor?
Yang Dong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he remembered who the other party was, and immediately patted his forehead.
Really, how could I forget him!
Tieniu is considered a martial arts wizard and has a lot of health.
If I take him with me on this trip, he might be able to help with some of the damage.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he said:
"It's not convenient for outsiders to enter the palace, so I'd better go to Lanxiang Academy in person."
"Mouse, you come with me."
Some people died, but not completely...
