Chapter 118: Xuanjia Chang'an is coming(2/2)
When she was young, her grandson had done something wrong and stood quietly in front of her.
"I'm not seeking any benefit for me."
"I just love to drink some turbid wine, I like to talk to my neighbors, I like to walk in the streets and alleys, and I can go to one of them to have a meal at any time. I have no great ambitions. I just want the Zou family to continue to live in this land, and I just hope that these old houses will still be there when I close my eyes."
Similarly, like when he was very young, Zou Shengchuan, who made mistakes, did not admit his mistakes.
Looking at the white frost on his temples, Mrs. Zou raised her head with some emotion and said, "Don't I know what you said?"
Zou Shengchuan was silent for a while and then said, "Then why would you rather sacrifice the Zou family than protect Zou Jianan?"
Mrs. Zou laughed, "That's the destiny of entangling the Zou family. Do you think you can avoid it? Do you think we can get rid of the destiny of those monks of the Buddhist sect that they can't get rid of?"
"You might as well change your mind and protect him to protect the Zou family and everything you cherish."
Mrs. Zou looked at Zou Shengchuan who was silent again, and her tone became as stern as she was when she was young. "And he is Zou Jianan, the blood of the Zou family. You must understand that the reason why our Zou family has today's foundation was not for sacrificing someone from the Zou family. On the contrary, it was accumulated by our Zou family after adhering to our way of dealing with the world."
"No matter whether he is a Buddhist son or not, he is your nephew."
"If you want him to die, it will not be in line with the Zou family's way of dealing with the world. If your father is still alive, he will definitely hit you with his own hands."
"The Zou family's way of dealing with the world is gone, and the Zou family's way of dealing with the world is gone. Even if these houses and even the wealth accumulated by the Zou family are gone, there will be still in the future. Many families of aristocratic families are not much deeper than our Zou family when they become powerful, but they even fight against their own people and fall into defeat very quickly."
"If you think you are right, then you mean that the ancestors of the Zou family were all wrong, and the ancestors of the Zou family who were killed on the Panlong Pillar were all wrong."
...
When Gu Liubai arrived at the old Zou family house, he heard the sound of rattan whipping meat.
Mrs. Zou looked at the dusty Gu Liubai and Zhou Lu'er and smiled kindly, "That's the seventh house of the Zou family being beaten."
Zhou Lu'er was very happy, "It sounds very painful, it's good to beat him up."
Mrs. Zou asked Zhou Lu'er to come and hug her, and then smiled and stuffed him some candied fruits, "My good-natured grandson, he plotted with outsiders and wanted your life. Don't you hold a grudge against him, don't you want him to die?"
"It's all my family. The key is whether he will have a memory after eating it." Zhou Lu'er smiled and started eating candied fruits, and also stuffed them to Gu Liubai. "It's all for him to die. Anyway, grandma and fifteenth brother are considering it, so I don't need to waste my brain. By the way, grandma, do you believe it or not, I can let the mice line up?"
"Go and go, don't always make you dirty mice." Gu Liubai scolded him, but Mrs. Zou smiled and said, "Of course I believe it, how could my good-god grandson lie to me."
Zhou Lu'er immediately laughed, "Great grandma, I thought I didn't believe it, I wanted to cheat you out of money."
"You kid, my grandmother's money is yours, why are you cheating me?" Mrs. Zou couldn't help but be happy when she saw him like this. She didn't have to guess that her good-natured grandson must have cheated others for a lot of money by queuing up to cheat others.
"Zhou Lu'er, go, let me talk about the matter first." Gu Liubai pulled Zhou Lu'er away with one hand, making Zhou Lu'er more tired of it, and he became more and more busy.
"Okay!"
Zhou Lu'er sat aside to eat candied fruit.
"I have made some progress in this matter about the Headless Bodhisattva Temple." Mrs. Zou talked about it with Gu Liubai, but her eyes were reluctant to leave Zhou Lu'er.
"The restaurants and pawn shops you asked me to check. I found out that there were some problems with the three people. I have tried to catch them and handed them over to Chen Tu to ask."
"So fast?"
Gu Liubai was stunned. He didn't expect that the progress would be so great.
At that time, the Wuai spirit was like a ghost. When he saw the scene of the Headless Bodhisattva Temple, he was a little excited and had to chop Wuai in one go.
So at that time, I just asked the nobles in Chang'an that they contacted Wuai by leaving their letters in the restaurant and picking up letters by pawnshops.
Just these little clues are difficult to find.
"Our people are not capable of following your people, but fortunately there are many people." Mrs. Zou smiled. Her smile looked a bit similar to Zhou Lu'er. "Strictly speaking, most of the people in Youzhou City have some relationship with our Zou family. If you use more money, it is easy to find out which shopkeeper's business is not equal to the usual cost."
Gu Liubai immediately felt a little distressed for Zhou Lu'er.
It is obvious that money can make the devil push the mill.
It is estimated that the Zou family has spent a lot of money this time.
"The owner of a restaurant and the owners of two pawn shops have some business problems and they all interact with people outside. I asked someone to catch them, but I didn't alarm the neighbors around them. No problems should happen. Chen Tu will sooner or later be able to pry out their secrets." Mrs. Zou was as dull as if she was chatting about family matters. "I was anxious to ask Jianan to come over to you, but it happened to happen to me that the wax stones in our Youzhou area were out of stock. In recent days, it was not the military's work. You should know better than me when you come back from outside the pass. In this winter, the border army has already prepared the goods, and there is no need."
Gu Liubai did not respond for a moment, but his brows frowned deeply.
Talismania has only one purpose.
Used for the maintenance and transportation of weapons and armor of practitioners.
The weapon of a practitioner, whether it is a sword, gun, spear, or carcass, is generally very special and will not be easily damaged. However, the runes formed by seal carving or casting are easily destroyed due to collision and wear. Some runes are extremely small and may not be noticed even if they are damaged. However, when fighting, the true energy is pulled over, and the weapon does not have a good use, so the problem will be great.
As for the Xuan Armor of the Tang Empire, in order to have amazing defense capabilities and durable combat, the material of the armor is even more special, both thin but very tough. Moreover, unlike ordinary weapons, a pair of Xuan Armor is connected with many armor pieces, which are easy to rub and collide with each other. Many Xuan Armor runes will automatically swallow vitality, and it is easy to make some strange noises during the transportation process.
For example, the Fengming Xuan Armor used by the Tang Dynasty border army is named because after putting it on, even if you don’t use your true energy, the sound of a roaring wind will be made in the runes on the Xuan Armor.
If various movements are made during the transportation process, it will be extremely unfavorable for confidentiality work.
The material of the wax stone is unique. Once it is slightly baked with fire, it can be turned into grease. A thick layer is applied to the weapon and the black armor. When cooled, it becomes a layer of extremely elastic frozen. Not only does it have no obstacles to collision, it will not allow the runes to absorb vitality and make strange sounds.
Moreover, this wax stone has another characteristic that it does not hinder the infiltration of true qi.
Even if you have to use these weapons and Xuan armor immediately, the true energy of the practitioner can still communicate with the weapons and Xuan armor. However, when fighting, being stimulated by the true energy will naturally peel off.
There are some of these types of army, almost all of which are used to transport black armor or to marches with black armor.
Seeing Gu Liubai's expression solemn, Mrs. Zou knew that he had already known that he was powerful. She continued, "I had asked Hua Cangming before and knew that the people from the Headless Bodhisattva Temple planned the mysterious armor of Youzhou. I also sent someone to carefully check it out to confirm that no matter whether it is the mysterious armor used by the Youzhou military or in the process of circulation, the mysterious armor that was secretly seized was not lost. Moreover, I have asked someone to check it out. Whether it is Youzhou, Yunzhong County, or Yuyang County, all workshops that are capable of making Xuan armor pieces and some accessories have no signs of private casting of Xuan armor."
"So it was the foreign Xuan Armor, the border army came here?"
Gu Liubai feels a sense of absurdity.
Pei Yunqi's speculation seems to have become a reality.
In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, using a large amount of mysterious armor to kill powerful practitioners is the most unlikely method, but it seems that Xie Wan has such strange ability, and he seems to be able to do the most unlikely thing.
Such enemies are particularly difficult to deal with, but they have to guess from the most impossible points.
"I guessed at the beginning like you that it would be more convenient and the most likely thing to transport black armor from the border army. If it really doesn't work, I tried to get some black armor from the Uighurs or elsewhere." Mrs. Zou shook her head slowly and said, "But it is not the case. Those wax stones should be flowing towards Chang'an."
"Come from the Bingzhen around Chang'an?" Gu Liubai secretly called Xie Wanhao to do something.
This is another weird angle.
"There are many powerful characters in the Chang'an official family. No matter how clever the means are, it is impossible to bring out a large amount of wax stones from Chang'an. This kind of thing will be strictly controlled." Old Woman Zou said, "It should be that he has saved a part of it, but the amount is definitely not enough, so he adjusted it from Youzhou. He used it almost on the way there. The ones from Youzhou will be sent to you, and it will be useful."
Gu Liubai took a deep breath and said, "Calculate the route and consumption, can we infer about how many Xuan armors are there?"
Mrs. Zou saw that he was not afraid, so she smiled and said, "I'm afraid after I say it, you will think I'm old and confused. It's estimated that it's no less than a hundred."
Gu Liubai was so angry that he smiled.
Is Xie Wantong Tian?
The several military towns around Chang'an combined, there are no more than one thousand Xuan armors that can fight with sixth-grade and seventh-grade cultivators, more than one hundred thousand army, and only one thousand Xuan armor soldiers!
Get a hundred black armors over, you're crazy!
"Do you think in Youzhou, where can a hundred mysterious armors be surrounded by several powerful practitioners to kill them?"
Gu Liubai didn’t think Mrs. Zou was too confused, but he just thought that everyone was in the same Tang Dynasty? It’s like everyone was playing chess, and everyone had to follow the rules of playing chess, but can Xie Wan ignore the rules?
No one cares about it?
"I have also heard about Heishawa's things. The young man became a hero... But some of your styles naturally fell into the sight of others. You can stand up for Xu Tuibei once, but you may not be able to stand up for the second time?" Mrs. Zou said with a smile.
"That's sure." Zhou Lu'er also interrupted with a smile, "If you come ten more times, your fifteenth brother will stand up."
"One or two times is not enough, ten more times!"
Gu Liubai immediately bowed to Mrs. Zou, then turned around and walked out.
This is the real reason why Mrs. Zou is anxious to find him!
Mrs. Zou reminded me that if he doesn't understand, he will be a pig.
The situation in Youzhou is so complicated, and the Hua family is here to control it. It is impossible to get a hundred mysterious armors to fight in Youzhou City.
If you want to limit the seventh or eighth level practitioners to somewhere, the best way is to find someone to force you to go over and save them?
Gu Liubai brought everyone who needed to be cared for, except Xu Tuibei.
Mrs. Zou obviously means that if she was Gu Liubai's opponent, according to her conjecture about Gu Liubai, if something happened to Xu Tuibei, Gu Liubai would definitely have to save him.
Then the biggest possibility of Xie Wan is naturally to find a way to take Xu Tuibei off!
Xu Tuibei, dangerous!
As soon as Gu Liubai met Pei Yunqi, he said to Pei Yunqi, "Military Pei is here again, please accept my knees. You are as good as a god. You are the best in the world!"
Pei Yunqi was amused by him and giggled, "Gu Shiwu, why are you doing well?"
Gu Liubai said, "You are right and right, Xie Wan has brought at least one hundred mysterious armors."
"You little cutie, what a joke!" Pei Yun was stunned, "Do you think I'm old and confused?"
"What we have to do now is to gather people and save that fat man Xu." Gu Liubai looked like he couldn't explain to you.
Chapter completed!
