Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

The sky was pouring rain, and from time to time a thunderclap sounded.

A thunderstorm raged in Yizhou City, and the people moved their things into the house one after another.

A barefoot woman, wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, hurried past the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The bead-like rain covered her sight, and her face and figure could not be seen clearly.

The woman walked quickly across the street, turned around and entered an alley.

Residents nearby closed their doors to prevent rainwater from entering their homes.

The woman went to the depths of the alley, pushed open a door, and then poked her head out vigilantly to look around.

After confirming that she was not being followed, the woman closed the door.

It was dark inside, with only a little light from a dim oil lamp.

The woman hung the bamboo hat on the wall and took off the coir raincoat.

Under the light, one can see a rather delicate face.

Under the oil lamp, sat an elderly woman with a wrinkled face.

A headscarf was wrapped around his head, and he was wearing a black cloth with several patches.

"Mom, I'm back."

the woman said.

The old woman was fiddling with some small pitch-black jars, and when she saw the woman came back, she covered the jars.

"Water girl, what about the Governor's Mansion?"

asked the old woman.

This young woman is called Shui Yatou. Although she calls the old woman Grandma, she is not her real mother.

This old woman is her superior.

"The emperor of Tang Dynasty and that Su Yu have both entered the city today, and they brought in five thousand troops."

"Those men carried a stick without a gun point on their backs, and a canister like ours hung from their waists."

Water girl said.

In her opinion, the gunpowder jars in Shenji Camp are like jars for Gu worms.

She had never seen gunpowder, nor muskets.

It is no secret that Datang has Shenji Camp.

But no one has ever seen a musket except on the battlefield.

Su Yu said that guns should be strictly controlled, and private individuals are absolutely not allowed to carry guns.

The old woman knew better, and said, "That's not a Gu worm jar, that's a gunpowder jar. What you saw was the Datang Shenji Camp, that army of demons that killed countless people."

The Musketeer Shenji Battalion is too powerful. In the eyes of foreign enemies, the Shenji Battalion is the devil's army.

There was a flicker in Shui Yatou's eyes, it was fear.

She had listened to it for a long time in Liuzhao, and she always said that Shenjiying could kill people from a hundred steps away.

People were killed and nothing was seen.

"So that's the Divine Machine Camp."

The water girl muttered.

The old woman turned her head to see Shui Yatou's frightened expression, and said, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if they have the Shenji Camp."

"This is not Chang'an City, this is Yizhou, the territory of our Gu Sect."

"What are you afraid of them doing?"

"The worms taught by our Gu are not human beings, no matter how powerful their muskets are, it's useless."

The old woman said coldly.

Water girl nodded.

The Gu religion never confronts directly, they attack secretly like assassins, killing people invisible.

"Grandma, that Su Yu and Emperor Tang just flew over from the sky."

Water girl said.

When the hot air balloon landed, Shui Yatou watched the excitement from the crowd.

She had never seen anything that could actually fly.

Such a big hot air balloon flying over from the sky feels very shocking.

What is even more shocking is that there are still people on the hot air balloon.

Moreover, when Li Shimin walked out, smoke was blown out of his mouth and nose, and his appearance was very mysterious and terrifying.

Water girl was really shocked at that time.

Li Shimin would never have imagined in his dreams that he compared Su Yu's Huazi costume to the people of Yizhou City, but he frightened Liuzhao's Gu Sect.

The old woman was taken aback when she heard what Shui Yatou said.

"From the sky? Can they fly?"

asked the old woman.

Flying is just a legend, in reality she has never seen anyone who can fly.

Before the invention of the engine, flying into the sky was just a dream.

The Land of the Six Edicts is far behind the Tang Dynasty, and the matter of flying is even more out of reach.

So, when she heard that Su Yu was flying over, she was very shocked.

"Yes, it came from the sky."

Water girl said.

There was light in her eyes, she didn't know whether it was surprise, envy, or fear.

"And, that Su Yu is very powerful."

"Things that big are things that fell from the sky. There are... some... the size of dozens of rooms. As soon as he stretched out his hand, that thing disappeared."

The water girl said while gesturing.

She had never seen such a big hot air balloon, and she really couldn't describe the size of the hot air balloon.

In the end, it can only be described as the size of dozens of houses.

The old woman was originally very calm, but she was taken aback by Shui Yatou's words.

"Water girl, if you lie, we will deal with it according to the canon."

said the old woman sternly.

She thought Shui Yatou was exaggerating.

Shui Yatou knelt on the ground and swore: "Grandma, really, I didn't lie."

"If I have a half-truth, I am willing to die from the heart of all worms."

This is the most poisonous oath of the Gu religion.

To be able to say such a thing is absolutely not lying.

The old woman was even more shocked.

"I heard that Su Yu, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, was born from an evil god. It seems that this legend is true."

said the old woman.

Datang is their rival country.

In the eyes of the people of Tang Dynasty, Su Yu is the god descending from heaven and the patron saint of Tang Dynasty.

But in the eyes of Liuzhao, Su Yu is an evil god.

"Mom, I'm afraid this evil god Su Yu is not something we can deal with."

Water girl said worriedly.

The old woman got up, nodded and said: "Don't be afraid, this is Yizhou, we are blessed by Gu God."

In fact, the old woman herself was also very panicked.

Su Yu can fly, and can make an object as big as dozens of rooms disappear instantly.

This ability is too terrifying.

"How about the thing you asked to inquire about?"

asked the old woman.

Water girl quickly untied a cloth bag from her waist and put it on the table.

Open the cloth bag, inside is a small jar.

Open the jar and hold it up to the light.

Inside was a worm without feet, much like a silkworm.

This silkworm is green all over and looks like a caterpillar.

The bug's body was slightly bent, and it seemed very frightened.

"Grandma, it's scared."

Water girl said.

The old woman said happily: "That's right, the Ice Silkworm Gu King is indeed on Su Yu's body."

The Ice Silkworm Gu King is the king of ten thousand Gu, and the holy object of Gu religion.

The last time the Saintess of Liuzhao was too confident, she brought the ice silkworm into Chang'an City alone, and died in Su Yu's hands in the end.

The whereabouts of the Ice Silkworm Gu King, the sacred object of the Gu religion, has since disappeared.

Later, the disciples of Gu Sect from Liuzhao went to Chang'an City to search for it, but found nothing.

There are rumors that the Ice Silkworm Gu King is in Su Yu's hands, but it is like an iron bucket in Sujiazhuang.

People from Liuzhao can't enter Sujiazhuang at all, so it is impossible to determine whether Su Yu took the ice silkworm.

This time when Su Yu arrived in Yizhou, the water girl took the green worm Gu to test it.

The ice silkworm is the king of ten thousand Gu, and any Gu insect who feels its breath will be terrified.

Judging from the trembling of the green worm Gu, the Ice Silkworm Gu King is on Su Yu's body.
