Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 53: What is your relationship with Mr. Tang

I don’t know whether this is a sincere compliment or a hint that no one dares to want you, a rebellious person. After the drinkers started talking nonsense, Zhao Changhe now felt that everyone's words were ridiculing, and his **** hurt.

What's even more annoying is that he doesn't know how to answer this question.

What’s the relationship with Mr. Tang?

How do I know!

"I am the man she will never get in her life, does this count?"

Cui Yuanyong was a little helpless: "Brother Zhao...Cui is not good at joking, can we be more serious?"

"To be more serious, in front of her, I killed the person she wanted to save with one knife. She personally issued a wanted arrest for me, which everyone knew. Since she wants me, can't I claim that she will never be able to catch her? To me? It’s a joke, but it’s not true.”

Cui Yuanyong said slowly: "However...does she really want to arrest you?"

Zhao Changhe said casually: "What the drinker said just now, no one cares about the wanted notice being muddied by the rain? This kind of thing is normal as long as the local government is lazy, the local official wants to kill Mr. Tang. ”

"No...many wanted criminals cannot be caught because they don't know their whereabouts, but she clearly knows that you are in Beimang, but she actually sent a naive...well, such an inexperienced girl like my roommate. I have never seen the Demon Suppressor with such a nonchalant attitude towards wanted criminals."

The little fool of the Cui family was sent by the Chief Tang, which meant that the Chief Tang already knew that Zhao Changhe was in Mangshan.

Now that we know he is in Mang Mountain, what if we don’t catch him personally? We don’t send elite soldiers, but a little fool who has never been in the world?

Zhao Changhe knew that this matter could not be explained, so he did not continue to play tricks and said: "She probably thought Brother Cui would take action?"

"Maybe...but you may not know one thing...I am also careless about this task and don't even want my little sister to do it, so I have been stalling for time to let her break through the third level of the entrance. This time is dragging on It's been a month or two, but there has been no response from Mr. Tang. Is this the official attitude towards knowing where the wanted criminal is?"

Zhao Changhe: "...Why are you taking your time?"

"I was stalling for time because I thought you were not an ordinary gangster and wanted to observe more. But Chief Tang didn't react, which really made me feel a little weird." Cui Yuanyong said lightly: "She shouldn't be unresponsive! Because You are not an ordinary wanted criminal. The person you killed was just a local gentry, worth only a hundred taels of reward... But we know that Luo Zhenwu was more than just a local gentry, and the consequences of your stabbing were very serious."

Zhao Changhe remained silent.

Cui Yuanyong finally pointed out the topic: "If he is really the prince, she, Tang Wanzhuang, must come to catch you as soon as possible. Can she leave this matter to my little sister? I don't care how long I delay it." , so careless? This at least shows that Luo Zhenwu is not a prince at all, and his death is not important."

It turns out that the first person in the Tang Dynasty was named Tang Wanzhuang... hmm.

Zhao Changhe sighed: "You have already guessed that Luo Zhenwu is not the prince, otherwise you would look at me like a hammer, and look like a gray-grey face, like a rose, and a sedan chair. "Hey, how many people in the family are serving in Daxia? Why do you think this is just a matter for the head of the Tang Dynasty?"

Cui Yuanyong showed a smile and said nothing.

He just looked at Zhao Changhe with more amusement.

Zhao Changhe looked awkward at him and said speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Luo Zhenwu is either a prince or a prince. It means that it is normal for him not to be so concerned about my wanted arrest. What's the point? Weird."

"But..." Cui Yuanyong said leisurely: "She asked my little sister to catch you... Don't you know that according to normal deduction, the final result will be me and you fighting? Does she really want to do this? To capture you, why do I not want to capture you but also want to kill you?”

Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

Indeed...

Tang first received the news that he was in Beimang, it must have been when he had just defeated Deputy Helmsman Huang and boarded the Book of Troubled Times. At that time, it was deliberately leaked by Wang Dashan and others, which attracted a group of fools to challenge the Qianlong List. It was unreasonable that the government had no news. Presumably the local government did not dare to master it, so they quickly reported it to the Demon Suppression Division.

At that time, my strength was at the first level of the entrance hall, and the little sister of the Cui family was at the second level of the entrance hall... No, it has nothing to do with strength. It doesn't matter whether Tang Shouzuo can guess the rapid development of his strength during this period, that's not important. The important thing is that Mr. Tang should be able to see that a fool like the little sister of the Cui family will most likely be in trouble even if she enters the most ordinary small village with no masters at all.

Cui Yuanyong saw his sister in danger, how could he not take action?

So Cui Yuanyong will definitely fight against him, Zhao Changhe, and with how strong Cui Yuanyong is, how can he take on him? Isn’t it certain that he will die?

But if you really want to kill him, Chief Tang can just send any of his cronies. Why are you beating around the bush?

Because of the identity of the Cui family? If the Cui family kills the prince, will it be beneficial to the situation? This is only beneficial to the rebels, right? It almost makes me smile crookedly. Is she, Chief Tang?

Or is it that the Chief of the Tang Dynasty is sure that Cui Yuanyong will never casually kill Zhao Changhe with a suspicious identity, and is he deliberately letting Cui Yuanyong contact Zhao Changhe to confirm something?

But why didn't she come to confirm it herself and use this uncontrollable method?

I don’t understand.

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and said sincerely: "Brother Cui, I'm not pretending to be confused with you. I don't understand this matter now. Can you tell me the whole story of your going to Beimang? My sister is a subordinate of the Demon Suppression Division. Down? It doesn’t look like it.”

"No, I want to go to Beimang first." Cui Yuanyong said: "I want to challenge Yue Hongling and ask people to pay attention to her whereabouts. I learned that she has appeared in Beimang. My sister-in-law knows that I am going out, so she I couldn't bear to stay at home, so I wanted to go out with me... I thought it was time for her to go out for a walk at her age. Traveling thousands of miles would be good for her, so I took her out for a trip, and my family agreed.

This is indeed normal. Zhao Changhe did not interrupt and gave him a glass of wine, knowing that there was more to come.

"Although my family didn't pass by the capital when they went to Beimang, it didn't take too many roads to get to the capital, so I naturally took her to visit the capital first and pay a visit to the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, if a woman It is our expectation to learn from Tang Shouzuo’s style.”

Zhao Changhe thought of that night when the woman's sword was as bright as water, and her sickly body stood in front of the demon sect. She was beautiful, calm, and majestic. He could almost picture her coughing while working at the desk, dragging her sick body to support this decaying body. The feeling of empire... Although this feeling may not be real, the first impression it gives people is indeed that.

Even if it’s just superficial magnanimity, if the Cui family’s little girl can really learn from her, I’m afraid the Cui family will have to set off firecrackers to congratulate her.

He couldn't help laughing: "Then what?"

"It turns out that the little girl didn't admire the style of Chief Tang. Instead, she was very interested in their business of suppressing demons. They talked about hunting down thieves and suppressing bandits and doing justice in the world. It was fascinating to think about it. He actually said he wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division."

Zhao Changhe almost stopped laughing.

The responsibilities of the Demon Suppressing Division are somewhat similar to those of the modern Crime Squad. Of course, the status is much higher, because this is a martial arts fantasy world. The demons "suppressed" by this kind of department are always people from the troubled times list, and basically That is, the rebel leader and the alien leader. The responsibilities of Chief Tang correspond to this group of people, and his status is not just as simple as the leader of the serious crime team or the captain of the special operations team, but also the top official of the imperial court, the first rank in the dynasty.

A little girl who was pampered at home said that she was going to face the most **** and murderous crime squad in the entire empire. If you join the team, you can only be a mascot. Do you really want to conquer the devils in the world?

Looking at Zhao Changhe's expression, Cui Yuanyong knew what he was thinking, and sighed helplessly: "Everyone knows that this is unreliable, and to be honest, our family does not want to join this kind of yamen, and it is different from ours. The purpose is not in line with the purpose... And Chief Tang may not hope that a Cui family member will come to the Demon Suppressing Division. If it does come, her head will probably grow three times bigger. So she said that if she wants to join the Demon Suppressing Division, she must complete the entry mission. Judgment of employment will be based on task completion. ”

Zhao Changhe clicked his tongue and said, "What she said is also sinister. She didn't say that she can join the job after the job is completed."

"Yes, when I heard this, I thought it was perfunctory. I just found a task to let my little sister know that hunting down theft and suppressing bandits is not that easy. She also had a tacit understanding with me and knew that I would not help her complete the task. Cui Yuanyong said: "She was chatting with me when she was choosing a task. When she learned that I was going to Beimang...she suddenly paused for a moment, frowning and thinking for a long time."

"So the mission is to catch me?"

"Master Tang said that he just received the news that there is a wanted criminal in Beimang. Let him be the one. That's the way it is. Otherwise, how would we know where you are?"

It seems that Mr. Tang probably didn’t think about it before, but learned that Cui Yuanyong was coming to Beimang. I don’t know what kind of deduction he made, but he actually changed the task that he originally planned to perfunctory the Cui family’s little sister. It just happened to be like this.

Zhao Changhe's expression gradually became weird, and suddenly an unreasonable idea came to his mind - if the Tang leader was really sure that Cui Yuanyong would not kill someone randomly, then why does this arrangement feel like a blind date?

No wonder Cui Yuanyong asked not "your identity", but "what is your relationship with Mr. Tang"!
