Gu Liubai also frowned.
Shangguan Zhaoyi said with a frown locked, "Pei Yushen is the third son of Yunqi's fourth uncle. Yunqi's fourth uncle Pei Ji and eldest son Pei Yuzhong have already died in battle. The second son has lung disease. This third son Pei Yushen is brave and good at fighting, and has a strong cultivation level. He is one of the leaders of the Pei family's secret sect."
"If this person really has a strange intention, it really means to defend against it day and night, and it is difficult for a family to defend against it." Gu Liubai sneered and said, "But it is true that if the so-called Duke Pei hides firearms and a large amount of private money minting happens, people in every link will be investigated. If Pei Yushen insists that it was Duke Pei who asked him to hide firearms and private money minting and then take some evidence, then the emperor will not be able to protect Duke Pei."
Chen Ruoruo sighed inexplicably.
She knew the secrets of Li's family better than anyone else. In her opinion, if the family of Chang'an was like a cancer of the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty, continuously extracting blood from various states of the Tang Dynasty, then the confidentials of Li's family were the parasitic monsters dormant in the shadows created by Li themselves.
There can only be one person in the Li family as emperor, but after experiencing layers of selection and countless tests, the rest of the Li family's most elite children end up being owned by Li family confidentiality.
If everyone abides by the ancestral teachings and follows their own rules in this confidential situation, the organization set up by Li to supervise the emperor can indeed prevent the emperor from being foolish and defeating the Li family's country, but the rules are dead and the human heart is alive. Sleeping pigs always turn over, let alone monsters that can swallow the country in one bite.
After the emperor was forced out of the true Dharma image during the Tiantian Ceremony, she vaguely felt that Li was worried about the emperor before, but now she was not just worried.
In the past, there were third-party forces such as Wang Yehu and Changsun Wuji reconciled them, but now Wang Yehu is dead and Changsun Wuji is dead. Chang'an seems to have no power to reconcile third-party forces. Originally, Gu Liubai might have become an emerging third-party force, but because Duke Pei is obviously an emperor's party, Gu Liubai had already become a pair with Miss Pei Er when he came to Chang'an. Now the third-party forces are obviously facing the emperor's side, and Li's secrets are beginning to break the rules, which seems to be understandable.
Emperor, Duke Pei and Gu Shiwu, she had no doubt about the strength of the circle of these three people, but who could know what kind of power the Li family had?
...
Pei's secret sect is the direct lineage of Pei's family and is also the elite among the elite.
The number of elite teams, which are almost all composed of practitioners, often does not exceed fifty people. What they do is actually somewhat similar to what Gu Liubai did.
Going deeper into the enemy's territory even earlier than the scouts of the army. In addition to spying on the movements of the opponent's army, it is also necessary to prevent some of the opponent's elite squads from insidious designs made by the army, such as polluting water sources, poisoning, spreading rumors, etc.
The whereabouts of these people are difficult to determine, but Shangguan Zhaoyi and Shishan Academy planned early. As a holy place in the hearts of those who are unable to enter the official career, Shishan Academy itself has contacted private schools in various places. In particular, it was used quietly to convey information. It was arranged by staff around the rivers in Fufeng County. Gu Liubai and Shangguan Zhaoyi's group had been in constant contact with Duke Pei's aides. Although the military information was slow to be transmitted, the group of people from Shishan Academy still had the ability to gather and analyze military information, so Shangguan Zhaoyi also knew a rough idea of ​​the movements of Duke Pei's many small military forces.
Houjia Village and Nanyang Town are not close, but this is the military situation two days ago. If the stings controlled by Pei Yushen came to these Tubo people, then this team should be not far from Xiguan Mountain at this time.
Gu Liubai asked Tianshu and three elders to walk from the small path towards Houjia Village and Nanyang Town, and his group of people walked on the high path. After more than an hour, Elder Tianshu and others on the small path did not hear the news of Pei's secret sting. Instead, Gu Liubai saw the smoke of smoke on the road in the distance.
The smoke was very light, not a wolf smoke for military information. It was almost noon again. It was probably someone who buried a pot to make rice by the road.
Gu Liubai chose a high place nearby and looked out, and saw a convoy of trains, with dozens of carriages.
He looked carefully for a while and found that these carriages were trucks used by the caravan to transport things. The carriages were airtight, but they looked empty at this time. The horses walked slightly by the road and dragged the carriages very easily.
Chen Ruoruo also saw it and couldn't help but mutter, "Can it be that the whole thing is broken into pieces, and each car is loaded with less things, so the car marks are not deep, so it is not easy to arouse people's suspicion?"
Shangguan Zhaoyi suddenly felt that it was very possible.
"We'll go straight to meet them."
Gu Liubai was too lazy to guess. Anyway, he saw that the people in this convoy had no good arrangements. He joined forces with his master and had nothing to worry about.
Xiao Zhen slightly broke a small branch and let Taoist Pu and his group walk along the way like a duck.
During this period, he had completely figured out the details of the Taoist Park and the zombies he controlled.
Whether it is Pu Taoist or these zombies, they need to absorb the qi and blood of the living or the dead corpse to replenish their own vitality. If they cannot obtain the qi and blood for a long time to replenish their vitality, their realm will fall and their physical bodies will also decline.
He had tried it before. After a sixth-grade monk turned into this kind of zombie, his strength was at most not as high as the sixth-grade level. When his vital energy was full, he was at the upper level of the fifth-grade level. However, if he could not replenish his qi within three days, his strength was even worse than the fourth-grade level. If he did not replenish his vital energy, he would completely turn into a rotten corpse and die in less than seven days.
If they suffer damage, these zombies will consume a lot of energy to heal their injuries. Therefore, they did not kill much on Xiguan Mountain this time. Except for Taoist Pu who looked not too sluggish, the zombies he followed looked a little sluggish.
The less energy the body of these zombies is, the stronger the rotten smell of flesh and blood, and a stinking smell will be emitted from time to time.
These zombies absorb qi and blood and transform them into their own vitality. The higher the level of the cultivators, the more vitality they gain. For example, although the Tubo warriors have trained a lot of meat, their methods of cultivation are actually very poor. They are all fourth-grade monks. Even if these zombies kill more than a dozen or twenty such Tubo warriors, it is probably difficult to reach the peak state.
Xiao Zhenwei’s idea now is to make the best use of everything, and the more effort he saves, the better.
Taoist Park and these zombies are so useful. He saw that there were many people in the train from afar. He hoped that there were many powerful monks in the convoy, so that Taoist Park and other zombies could be restored to their state, and it would be nice to collect a few more powerful zombies.
Although he didn't say this, Gu Liubai had already seen through it. Gu Liubai was now worried that his master would not be the first swordsman of the Tang Dynasty, but he would have created a corpse-raising sect.
However, when he got closer, Xiao Zhenwei sensed the aura of the people in the convoy, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Among the dozens of people in this train fleet, there were only four practitioners. Except for one sixth grade, the rest were also fifth grade monks.
The train convoy was not like in a hurry. When Gu Liubai and others came over, these people had just cooked things and had not started eating or drinking.
Although Chen Ruoruo was the eighth grade that he picked up for free, he was still a serious eighth grade. Her sense of smell was much better than that of ordinary people. From a distance, she could smell the sweet smell from the pots on the fire pits.
She was surprised, "These people eat so strangely, cook sugar water for rice?"
At this time, Gu Liubai saw most of the people in the convoy gathered next to the pots, looking like he was swallowing and helpless.
It is obvious that you are hungry and you need to eat it, but using this thing to make you full is obviously not a serious meal.
"Hey, hey, who are you? Look around and stare at our pot?"
Before Gu Liubai could speak, a barefoot man in white dressed in front of the car holding a bowl in the convoy was shouting at them.
The white clothes on this man were silk clothes, which were very valuable, but the wrinkled balls on his body were covered with mud and covered with mud. It seemed that he just didn't care much about the clothes.
When he didn't speak, he looked like a smart businessman, but when he opened his mouth, he had rotten teeth, and it was so rotten that he had only two rows of black gums on the upper and lower sides.
Gu Liubai was stunned when he thought of the Zheng Wuya that Zhou Erniu mentioned before, "Can you be Zheng Wuya?"
The man in white was also stunned, "Where have you heard of my name?"
At this moment, a man in a green uniform came over one side, lowered himself and whispered a few words in his ear. The man in white was shocked and his voice became respectful, "Are you?"
The man in green was the sixth-grade practitioner in the convoy. He obviously saw something at this time and reminded the man to be careful.
Gu Liubai smiled faintly and said, "My name is Lu Letian. Have you heard of it?"
When Chen Ruoruo heard the three words Lu Letian, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Why does Gu Shiwu like to report this name?
The man in white was Zheng Wuya. He was originally unruly and even threw his boots on the top of the carriage to bask in the sun. When he heard the words Lu Letian, he almost fell from the front of the carriage, and the bowl in his hand also fell to the ground with a squeak.
His bowl is not something boiled with sugar water, but a bowl of meat soup.
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "Such coincidence? Are you going to transport those firearms and privately minted coins on Xiguan Mountain?"
When Zheng Wuya heard this, he was trembling all over. He was not stupid, and instantly felt that something was wrong. Lu Letian seemed to have already gone to the mountain.
When Gu Liubai saw Zheng Wuya's expression at this moment, he knew that the convoy was indeed going to Xiguanshan. He smiled again and said, "What's wrong with you? Eat meat by yourself and give them sugar water?"
Chapter completed!
