Chapter 691 Curious
Disobeying the order is a crime.
But this sin can be big or small, depending on the person and the situation.
For example, Mr. Xu had refused the order of Emperor Yongping in order to clear his name with his mother. However, after Yan Jing's explanation of the incident, Emperor Yongping not only did not punish him, but instead praised Mr. Xu.
But now, the one in power is the Grand Princess.
The eldest princess and the Xu family are destined enemies.
Xu Shuo is Mr. Xu’s biological father.
If Xu Shuo disobeyed the order, then the Grand Princess could take advantage of the situation to implicate Old Man Xu and the others.
If Xu Shuo had obediently followed the orders of the Grand Princess and returned to Beijing, he would have become a pawn used by the Grand Princess to deal with Old Master Xu.
It can be said that no matter what Xu Shuo chooses, he cannot escape the result of becoming a pawn.
…
Jiannan Prefecture, Ba City.
Zhao Bingzhao arrived exhausted, but was a step too late. Fubao and Xu Laoer had already left. Jieyundao, who had established the Human Dao Kingdom in Jiannan Prefecture, had completely vanished without a trace.
Zhao Rui was beside Zhao Bingzhao, and the expression on his face was quite interesting.
Before, they all believed that Jieyundao would definitely cause a big move, and even drag the decaying Tang Empire to destruction.
But the actual situation now is that the human kingdom of Jieyun Dao is gone, and the disciples of Jieyun Dao have disappeared as well. It is unknown whether they will come out again after hiding in the rat hole this time, and how they will come out.
However, even if the Human Kingdom of Jieyun Dao was gone and the people of Jieyun Dao were silent, Zhao Bingzhao and Zhao Rui still did not dare to underestimate the means of Jieyun Dao.
This is a Taoist tradition that has survived through dynasties without being extinct, and it must have its own unique features.
"Master, where are we going next?"
They came in a hurry to help, but ended up not having the chance to play at all. Just imagine how frustrating this is!
Anyway, Zhao Rui was quite depressed.
Zhao Bingzhao blinked and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in Jiannan Prefecture and rest in Ba City for a few months!"
Although Jieyundao has been hidden, Zhao Bingzhao does not think that things here are really over.
The way of disaster is that even a centipede dies but its body remains stiff.
The fact that they were able to establish a country in Jiannan Prefecture without triggering a local uprising shows just how capable Jieyun Dao was.
Xu Lao Er and Fu Bao left in a hurry because Longxi Prefecture was in danger. Whether Jiannan Prefecture had truly been pacified or not, Zhao Bingzhao didn't think so.
If the Jieyun Dao, a country founded by the Jieyun Dao, could be completely wiped out so easily, then why did he value the Jieyun Dao so much?
Especially the leader of the Jieyun Dao, he is a real old fox.
There is also the Saint of the Disaster Path, who is also a thousand-year-old fox spirit.
As for the other people in Jieyundao, I guess they are not easy to deal with either.
In Zhao Bingzhao's opinion, something must be happening in Jiannan Prefecture.
He stayed here, waiting for the people from Jieyundao to cause trouble. When Jieyundao tried to send people to capture Fubao, he promised Fubao that he would give the Saint of Jieyundao a good beating.
However, this woman has not been seen since she escaped from the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum. Even with Zhao Bingzhao's intelligence network, she has not been able to find her hiding place.
The assassins he arranged to enter the Jieyun Road also suffered heavy losses.
The imperial court's previous frantic manhunt for the Jieyun Dao not only dealt with the authentic disciples of the Jieyun Dao, but also caused the assassins arranged by Zhao Bingzhao to lurk in the Jieyun Dao to suffer unprovoked disasters.
Although some people were able to escape by reporting the disciples of the Jieyun Dao around them in time, they lost their access to information about the Jieyun Dao after escaping.
Every sip and every bite has its own limit.
"Master, I think that Jieyundao won't pop up again. At least in the short term, Jieyundao won't come out to cause trouble!"
This time, Zhao Rui disagreed with Zhao Bingzhao.
"Tell me!"
Zhao Bingzhao is not a dictator and is willing to listen to different opinions. Especially Zhao Rui, this little apprentice is very smart.
"Master, think about it, if Jieyun Dao wants to cause trouble, they will definitely create some chaos throughout Jiannan Prefecture to let the people below know that they are always there."
"But it's been a few days since we arrived in Jiannan Prefecture, and everything is calm and peaceful. Nothing has happened."
"Although Li Gan, who is stationed in Ba City, is not very famous, in my opinion, this guy is very good at using troops. Even if the Jieyun Dao wants to cause trouble, he will not be able to deal with it."
"Why don't we go to Longxi Mansion as well!"
Zhao Rui's face was full of longing.
"The barbarians in Longxi Prefecture are said to be of the same clan as the northern barbarians. However, they have always lived further north and are wild and untamable. When different tribes fight, the victors even eat the defeated!"
"Disciple wants to go and see these wild beasts!"
Cannibalism!
In the wilderness, even the most ferocious beasts will generally not kill their own kind unless they are faced with a situation where they can no longer survive.
But this group of savages is completely different.
Zhao Rui had never seen such people before. He felt that these guys should not be called human beings.
"What's so good about savages?"
Zhao Bingzhao rolled his eyes at Zhao Rui and said, "It's not like you haven't seen northern barbarians before. The barbarians coming from the north of the barbarians are nothing more than wilder."
"Master, if that's all, then how did these savages defeat the Northern Barbarians?"
The northern barbarians were extremely brutal when facing Da Tang. Even though they were defeated repeatedly, they continued to launch invasions to the south.
These indomitable northern barbarians were actually frightened away to the south by a group of savages coming from the north.
At this time, Zhao Bingzhao and Zhao Rui had not received the latest news from Longxi Mansion, and did not know that the Northern Barbarians had surrendered to Old Master Xu.
"Well, I'm a little curious too!"
Master Zhao Er always thought that he was a very smart person, but such a powerful tribe as the Northern Barbarians could not actually defeat a group of savages. This is simply a joke!
"Master, I'm curious too!"
"Don't you always say that if there's something you don't understand, then go and find out?"
Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow at Zhao Bingzhao and said, "Let's go and take a look at this wild man. It won't take much time anyway."
"If there are any changes in Jiannan Prefecture, we can rush back. It will only take a day or two, it's not a big deal!"
"After all, you just want to go to Longxi Mansion to take a look, right?"
"Hehe, Master, don't you want to go and take a look? Fubao also went to Longxi Mansion!"
Zhao Rui decisively increased his bargaining chips.
