"Kaifeng deserves to be the capital city, and the evil stars are more powerful than elsewhere. Look at these red dots. They are big and bright. I think they are probably not easy to mess with."
Li Yu held the booklet and hesitated, looking forward and backward. Among the more than a hundred evil stars, there was no fuel-efficient lamp.
The white hair on his shoulders chuckled and said: "With your ability, no one is easy to mess with. I think it's better to find a place and prepare to run away."
"Where to run?"
"Go to Shu or Wei. These two places are in short supply of talents like you."
It was the first time that Li Yu heard Baimao praise himself as a talent. Although he knew that it was probably nothing good, he still couldn't help but ask: "Can my talent be appreciated in these two countries?"
"There is a gold-touching captain in the Wei State who is responsible for digging up the tombs of Taoist masters and obtaining the treasures of martial arts. You are an alchemist and you are good at Feng Shui. You are not a good at finding tombs? A group of ambitious people in the Shu State do not say it openly.
But everyone knows that they are thinking about unifying the six dynasties and building up the Han Dynasty every day. They are recuperating and accumulating national strength. Your Shui Jue can irrigate the ground, and your Earth Jue can plow the fields, which will be of great use."
Li Yu trembled with anger. He knew that this thief had nothing good to say, but he went up to the pole to ask questions. He was simply asking for humiliation.
But he reminded himself that if it didn't work, he could still run.
As long as he escapes from the Song Dynasty, he doesn't care about Shenxiao Palace.
When Jiang Wei asked him to go to Chengdu, Li Yu was the first to refuse. Even Baimao knew about Shu Han's ambition to unify the six dynasties. After going there, he would definitely have a busy and tiring life.
Zhuge Liang was exhausted, not to mention himself. The national power of Western Shu was too weak compared to the others. Unifying the six dynasties was just a talk.
Xiao Jinlian pointed to the distance and said, "Brother Li Yu, there is an inn ahead. Do you want to go in and rest for a night?"
Li Yu took a look and saw that the sun was setting in the west. It was already dusk in a blink of an eye, and he was feeling a little hungry.
"Okay, this inn can't be a black shop, right? Let me read the brochure first."
There were no red dots on the booklet, so Li Yu felt a little relieved. Many of the black shops in the Song Dynasty were run by evil stars, and they would peel off the skin and eat the meat at every turn.
Bai Mao jumped off his shoulders and ran to the roof in front of him in a few steps. Li Yu slowly walked in. The inn was not very big, but it was the only one on the official road, so there were many guests.
At the entrance of the store, there is a banner sign with the four characters "an inn" written on it.
As soon as the two people entered, a waiter bent forward and said with a smile: "Sir, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
"Eat!" Li Yu rolled up his sleeves, "Then stay at the hotel."
"Okay, you came at the right time. There is only one guest room left. If you come a step later, I'm afraid it will be occupied by someone else."
Xiao Jinlian blushed, looked down at her toes, and then secretly looked up at Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't realize it and said: "Really or not, you didn't mean to rip off customers, did you say that on purpose?"
"The guest officer was joking. Although the shop is small, it never bullies customers, otherwise there wouldn't be so many repeat customers."
Li Yu said with a smile: "Take us to the room first, put down the courtesy, and then prepare a table of wine and food. I want a plate of plain-cut chicken, a plate of refreshing vegetables, and half a bottle of sake."
When she got to the room, Xiao Jinlian filled a basin of water and washed her face.
She was exhausted along the way and was sweating all over. If Li Yu hadn't been there, she would have wanted to change her clothes.
Li Yu held the money bag, poured it out, counted it, and said: "Lian'er, we don't have much money with us. I don't know if we can sell a few amulets on the way. We have to make some calculations. Let's squeeze in tonight. I
Just make a bunk on the floor, don’t worry.”
"Yeah." Xiao Jinlian blushed and immediately fainted.
The two took a short rest, went to the lobby on the first floor, and found a secluded place to sit down.
"Have you heard that our Song Dynasty has sent money to people again, and this time it's on Soochow's head." On the table next to him, a black-faced escort sat in the middle towards a fat old man who looked like a merchant.
asked.
"Why haven't you heard that the man who went to the Song Dynasty was called Lan Congxi? He was a famous idiot. He got to power by flattering Cai Jing. As soon as he arrived in Jiankang, he made a deal with Lord Wu, saying that he wanted Gan Xingba to lead the army.
, help the Song Dynasty eliminate Fang La."
"Has Sun Quan agreed?" The people around him became nervous and asked with their heads stretched out. Although Fang La's Mingjiao worships fire, his territory is crisscrossed by rivers and lakes, and there are many water villages. And Ganning of Soochow was a water bandit, so it should be an experience to deal with the Mingjiao.
Very sufficient.
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Promise? What a promise! Sun Quan said directly that Gan Xingba is a general of Soochow and cannot leave easily."
"Oh, it's so embarrassing."
Most of the people present were from the Song Dynasty, and they all sighed in unison.
"Fang La made trouble in Tokyo this time because he made a name for himself. Many unruly people who were dissatisfied with the imperial court went to Qingxi Cave to defect to him. The Mingjiao became more and more powerful."
Li Yu also sighed. The people of the Song Dynasty hated their own court so much.
If the voices of the people never reach the temples and the suffocation accumulates to a certain extent, the Song Dynasty may be the first to perish within the Six Dynasties.
The dark-skinned bodyguard picked up a mouthful of food and brought it to his mouth. He chewed it slowly and said, "Let me tell you, our great Song Erlang is no worse than anyone else. Instead of asking Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, it's better to share the money with others."
Generals, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, but I don't believe that Fang La can survive a year."
Everyone nodded and felt that what he said made sense, but the dark-skinned bodyguard just gave up and continued to chatter: "I hate that there are treacherous ministers in the court!"
"All the high officials in the world have been appointed by these incompetent people. It shows that His Majesty the Emperor is not very sober either."
The waiter who had been standing by the side bent forward and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, let's not talk about state affairs. Let's not talk about state affairs."
This is the foot of the emperor. Before we even leave Kaifeng Mansion, there are so many people criticizing the imperial court.
In a state capital where the imperial court has even lower control, wouldn’t it be necessary to curse the civil and military officials, kings and emperors of the dynasty?
No wonder the Song Dynasty was full of rebellious strongmen. The imperial court was obsessed with amassing wealth and would always give money to neighboring countries in exchange for help from others. How could it win respect?
After a while, the food and wine were served, and Li Yu ate in small bites, still thinking about what those people had just said.
I said that I also worked as a temporary worker in the Ghost Hunting Department of the Imperial City Department for a few days. The system of the Song Dynasty was bloated and overstaffed, and it had reached the point where it could not be cured.
"Little brother, are you going out with just two of us?"
The old man came over with a smile. Li Yu didn't like such an uninvited guest, so he said, "Is something wrong?"
The old man was just eating and drinking at the escort at the next table. When he saw that the wine was gone, Li Yu brought half a new bottle and wanted to drink some.
"I see that you are depressed after listening to what we said. You must be someone who is worried about the country and the people. Just to do this, you have to be confused and have a drink!" After the old man finished speaking, he reached for the wine pot.
Li Yu firmly held down the wine pot and said, "I don't think this is necessary?"
