A Yan Lianshan was shocked when he heard this and immediately said, "If that's the case, then if we go to give him the token, won't that be walking into a trap?"
"No matter how tightly we entangle this net, there are bound to be loopholes, and that loophole is you." Zhao Xiu put his arm around Ayan Lianshan and said, "Who would have thought that the Hu slave in my caravan would be the eagle master of the Turkic falconry division?"
A Yan Lianshan pushed him away in disgust and asked, "So what do you want to do next?"
"Take advantage of their own strategy."
"Are you going to meet Guo Yuanzhen's people?"
Zhao Xiu stood still, crossed his chest, and glanced at him. Then he asked several Turks, "How did he become your Eagle Master? By luck?"
A Yan Lianshan's face was stern, and he said sternly, "If you keep talking dirty, I'll send you to be sacrificed to the Wolf God right now, believe it or not?"
This Turkic barbarian was too stingy and couldn't stand such a joke. However, he was weak now and couldn't provoke him like before. Even if he didn't kill him, a beating would still hurt.
"We knew Lou Yunchun was going to expose me, yet we still went forward. Do we think our lives are too long?" Seeing Ayan's face almost stretched to her feet, Zhao Xiu knew the situation and said, "We don't want to see Deputy Envoy Guo Yuanzhen or anything like that. We want to see General Guo Yuanzhen himself."
A Yan Lianshan was puzzled. "Didn't you just say that Guo Yuanzhen wouldn't come to see you, the target?"
"I won't always be a target, and besides, don't you have me here? Since you have people in Xizhou City, it won't be difficult to pass on a message to Guo Yuanzhen. Then, find someone to pretend to be the one delivering the token for me. Once Lou Yunchun's plan fails and is exposed, we can use our names to lure Guo Yuanzhen to meet somewhere else. Isn't that perfect?"
Seeing that he was still skeptical, Zhao Xiu explained, "Of course he won't come the first time. He will come when Lou Yunchun's plan fails and is exposed."
After hearing this, Ayan Lianshan finally understood what Zhao Xiu was going to do. He wanted to use Lou Yunchun to lure Guo Yuanzhen out.
Once the deputy envoy who knows Zhao Xiu is arrested and Lou Yunchun's plan is exposed, Guo Yuanzhen will definitely be worried about the situation in the capital, and Zhao Xiu's ability will also be demonstrated. At that time, Zhao Xiu will bring up himself, the Turkic Eagle Lord, and specifically ask to see Guo Yuanzhen. Will he be able to resist?
A Yan Lianshan stared at Zhao Xiu's brain and felt his hands itching. He wanted to chisel open this person's head to see how many conspiracies and tricks were contained inside.
Zhao Xiu felt a chill on his forehead. He scratched it uncomfortably, then said to A Yan Lianshan, "Our most urgent task right now is to find Guo Yuanzhen's spies and send a message to him."
The Turkic man was confused by Zhao Xiu's roundabout words. He finally grasped a few words that he could understand and hurriedly said, "Leave this matter to us."
A Yan Lianshan spared Zhao Xiu's head for the time being, gave instructions to several of his subordinates, and made an appointment with them to deliver a message at this time tomorrow, and then told them to return to the city.
Not long after the others left, the sound of a closing drum could be heard in the distance. Zhao Xiu rubbed his arms and looked around, then asked Ayan Lianshan, "You're familiar with this area. Where should we stay tonight?"
A Yan Lianshan was worried, "You are a wanted criminal now, who would dare to take you in?"
Do I have to sleep in the wild?
Zhao Xiu looked around at the vast wilderness and heard the distant howling of wolves, which sent a chill through his body. Now it was just him and the Turkic barbarian, plus two camels. He absolutely could not sleep in the wild. Otherwise, the wolves would devour him and the Turkic barbarian before Guo Yuanzhen could kill him.
He glanced at the Buddha cave and saw the lights flickering inside. His mind suddenly lit up as well. "You're right. I'm a wanted criminal."
A Yan Lianshan said disdainfully, "You've only just realized your own identity now. How belated you are!"
Why did he think this person was smart just now?
Zhao Xiu sighed, "I am a wanted criminal, and you are an idiot." After Ayan Lianshan's men left, he started shaking again.
"What did you say!" A Yan Lianshan gritted her teeth, "Say it again if you dare."
Zhao Xiu pointed at the Buddha cave and said, "Let's go to the Buddha cave tonight and stay overnight."
A Yan Lianshan felt a lump in his chest and said unhappily, "I've already told you that you're a wanted criminal. No one dares to take you in. Monks are also human beings."
Zhao Xiu stared at his brain with regret, "I became a wanted criminal only now?"
Ayan Lianshan was stunned.
Yes, Zhao Xiu had been wanted for five days, but when he announced his name in the Buddhist cave just now, no one reacted unusually. The Hu merchants hadn't yet entered the city and didn't know Zhao Xiu was wanted, but the monk and the Han people couldn't have been unaware of it, yet none of them acted unusually.
Especially the monk, he and Zhao Xiu waited in the Buddhist cave for most of the day, but he did not drive them away.
Are they not afraid, or do they simply not care?
"Let's go." Zhao Xiu touched her belly, "Maybe if we go, we can even get a vegetarian meal."
After saying that, he started walking towards the Buddhist cave. Ayan Lianshan followed behind him, her inquiring eyes falling on his head, and she felt her hands itching even more.
The two returned to the Buddhist cave. Ayan Lianshan went to tie up the camel and set up anti-wolf traps, while Zhao Xiu entered the cave first to negotiate with the monk.
The monk was not surprised to see him turn back.
Zhao Xiu first bowed to him, then saw three cakes in the broken bowl in front of him. He was stunned at first, then said to him respectfully: "Master, I am sorry to bother you tonight."
The monk returned his greeting and said, "Amitabha, I am only here to meditate in this Buddhist cave. I am not the owner of this cave. Please feel free to donate."
Zhao Xiu smiled slightly, walked over and sat on the mat opposite him.
A Yan tied up the camel and went into the cave, where she saw Zhao Xiu sitting opposite a monk and eating bread.
Seeing him coming, the guy shamelessly picked up a piece of bread and handed it to him, "Come and eat."
He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the gluttony in his stomach and stepped forward to take it.
