375 The Enemy of My Enemy, Is My Friend (1/2)

Ouyang Shuo walked in front of Qing Sikou. Then, he only said one sentence, ”Take care!”

She nodded; the two of them had formed a tacit understanding.

Saying anymore would just be a waste of words.

After this simple goodbye, Qing Sikou brought Thread and teleported to Yashan City. At this point, Sun Xiaoyue was already waiting besides the teleportation formation.

Ouyang Shuo did not follow along to Yashan City, as Shanhai City still had some matters for him to handle. He also believed that Yashan City, with both Sun Xiaoyue and Bai Nanpu, could temporarily handle things.

As this matter came to an end, the smart players knew that the animosity between the two men would create future developments.

Jingdu was destined for a lack of peace and quiet.

After he sent away Thread, Ouyang Shuo walked back toward the tea house. Ouyang Shuo felt that the white shirt scholar was not a simple person, and he wanted to get to know them.

Unfortunately, when Ouyang Shuo rushed back to the tea house, he did not see any signs of the scholar.

”Waiter, did you see a white shirt scholar?”

Ouyang Shuo handed over a piece of gold, as he asked one of the waiters in the tea house.

When he received the gold, the waiter smiled widely; this gold coin was equal to two months of his pay, ”There's such a person, but he has already left.”

”How long? And in which direction?”

”He just left. As for which direction, I do not know!”

Ouyang Shuo felt disappointed, but he did not want to give up. As such, he said to his four Guards, ”He should not be far away. Let's split up and chase, quickly!”

”Lord, this....” the Guards were faced with a difficult situation.

”What?”

”Lord, if we all leave, what will happen to you?”

After the Jingdou assassination incident, Wang Feng had chosen eight of the finest Guards from the Guards Regiment—the current palace guards—to work in two shifts to protect Ouyang Shuo twenty-four seven.

”It's fine. I'll follow the lord!” White Snake stepped out.

The Guards wanted to say something, but Ouyang Shuo interrupted them. He asked them to quickly give chase.

Ouyang Shuo, on the other hand, brought White Snake and chased toward the east.

Compared to Shanhai City, Jingdu was bustling. The roads intersected one another, and there were numerous streets and alleys. Amongst the sea of people, Ouyang Shuo did not manage to see the white shirt scholar.

”Forget it. Let's stop chasing!”

Ouyang Shuo sighed. Half an hour had passed, and all clues were lost.

His stupid luck stat. It really did not give him any opportune moments.

Ouyang Shuo was pretty sure that the scholar was a historical figure from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.

As for whether he was from a period before that, he would have either come out already or became a hermit, so it was not possible. Even the Shang Dynasty famous figure Yiyin was recruited by a player known as Chen Hang.

Based on the sources, Chen Hang was a strong lord in Jianye. After he recruited Yiyin, his reputation in the area bloomed, and he became the leader of an alliance in the area.

Not just the Shang Dynasty, even a large portion of the figures from the Spring and Autumn Era had already taken up roles. The players tried to keep many of them a secret, but as more and more alliances were built, they were slowly revealed on forums.

The current territories basically all had one to two historical figures, either civil servants or generals.

In regards to this point, Gaia was very fair.

The most stunning one was Wuqi, who had taken up a role in King County. Who knows what Xiongba, that old fox, did to convince Wuqi.

Wuqi could be said to be a presence equal to Sun Bin. In fact, he might even be better.

When White Snake noticed the lord’s disappointment, he said, ”Lord, I feel that we might find clues if we return. With the nature of scholars, since they chose one tea house, they would frequent it.”

When Ouyang Shuo heard these words, his eyes brightened, and he face palmed, ”Why didn’t I think of that!”

”Go, let's return to the tea house!”

When they returned, all of the other guards had also gotten back.

As expected, they did not manage to find anything either.

Ouyang Shuo was not dejected. He found the waiter and asked, “Does that white shirt scholar frequent this tea house?”

The waiter knew that he was speaking to a lord, so he did not dare to tarry, ”Lord, you've asked the right person. That fellow does not come everyday; he only comes when the tea house has chess games.”

”Chess games?”

”That's right, to attract customers, the tea house will hold five chess games a month. Customers can drink tea and watch the games at the same time,” the waiter proudly introduced.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, “When's the next one?”

”In five days!”

When Ouyang Shuo heard this, he took out another gold coin and passed it to the waiter, ”Five days later, I'll come once more. Help me book a room. If that mister arrives earlier than me, lead him to that room. Do you understand?”

”Do not worry, I'll do it!”

After he received this reward, the waiter was elated. Such generosity, as expected from a lord.

After he left the tea house, Ouyang Shuo arrived into the little courtyard that was the Jingdu Office.

White Snake followed and asked, ”Is the lord prepared to wait all the way in Jingdou, or?”

Ouyang Shuo thought about it, ”I'll just wait here. In the meantime, I'll deal with the Star Alliance.”

”Your intention is?”
