Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 438: Zhai Muzhi
Chapter 438 Zhai Muzhi
"It turns out to be Brother Xie." Zhao Changhe remained calm, showing the restraint expected of a superior in a royal way, and said calmly: "Wang is tired of staying in the Central Plains and wants to walk around."
Although the movement control has slightly changed the sound, but if you haven’t practiced it before, it doesn’t look too much like the sound in Wangdao.
Fortunately, Xie Ruhai was not very familiar with Wang Daozhong. At most, they had only met a few times in their early years, so the voices could not be distinguished clearly. In fact, in the eyes of real acquaintances, the appearance can also be seen to be different. If someone is mistakenly recognized in the street, it means that they are not familiar with each other.
After hearing what Zhao Changhe said, Xie Ruhai felt a little funny. It was said that this man was caught not long ago and seemed to have been released by the operation. Of course, he would not continue to hang out under the noses of the Yang family and the Demon Suppression Division. Either stay in Langya, or be "dispatched" and go far away.
Now it seems that he has gone far to the southwest.
He said with a smile: "Mr. Daozhong came all the way here, why don't you look for Prefect Zhai? Let us show our friendship as landlords."
Zhao Changhe secretly thought that God knows how close Zhai Muzhi is to Wang Daozhong, so only a fool would go there, let alone where did he get such an unexpected incident? Then he shook his head and said: "Wang has something to go to Miao territory and doesn't want to delay..."
I wanted to say a few polite words, but when I said those words, I suddenly felt that I was an idiot. Why should I be polite to Wang Daozhong? Wouldn't it be nice to offend more people?
So he said proudly: "Besides, Zhai Muzhi is not qualified to let Wang pay homage to him."
Li Si'an next to him showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look at, and secretly mourned for Wang Daozhong.
Wherever Zhao Changhe goes, his reputation as a hero and courageous person is getting better and better, he has more and more friends, and his reputation among the kings is getting worse and worse, with both good and evil being enemies. What kind of evil is this?
Over there, Xie Ruhai felt that he was very used to it. The top aristocratic families had this kind of arrogance. Let alone Wang Daozhong who was on the ranking list, just a random dude might be more arrogant than Wang Daozhong. He didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a low smile: "Then I won't disturb Mr. Daozhong's meal."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and left.
Zhao Changhe looked at the restaurant next to him and asked painfully: "Can we eat this meal?"
Li Si'an smiled and said: "Why do you say that?"
"If he reported back to Zhai Muzhi that Wang Daozhong was eating here, what if Zhai Muzhi really came to see Wang Daozhong, wouldn't it be a revelation..."
Li Si'an smiled and said: "If what we know is correct, Zhai Muzhi has never met Wang Daozhong. People from all over the world, if there is no fate, most people will only hear his name in their whole life and can only have spiritual friendship. Who do you think you are? Are they all wandering around the world like you?"
"Huh? Aren't they about the same age, both from wealthy families, and officials? Didn't they hang out together when they were young?"
"Not everyone has met, especially the Shu area is closed and there are fewer friends. Of course, what we know may not be complete. Maybe we have personal friends that we don't know about." Li Si'an said: "What, do you want it? See you? If you want to investigate the secret of Jianlu’s disappearance, maybe you can get some clues by asking him.”
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and nodded.
The Jianlu incident is too closely related to Yue Hongling. If you have the opportunity to investigate, you have to try it. At worst, the secret will be exposed, and Li Si'an will shirk his ignorance and be deceived.
The two of them entered the restaurant, casually ordered some wine and food, and after eating a few mouthfuls, there was a commotion at the door, and hearty laughter came from the door: "Brother Wang has come a long way, why don't you say something so that I can take care of you?" So see the outside. ”
Zhao Changhe keenly noticed that all the diners in the restaurant turned pale. No one dared to sit still. They all stood up and stepped aside. The boss's legs were shaking and shaking.
This...
It's not like the general people's reverence for officials. I'm afraid they are fearful to the core.
Even Li Si'an stood up and saluted: "Well, Commander-in-Chief."
Zhai Muzhi nodded politely to Li Si'an: "Fourth Master, sit down safely."
As he said that, he sat down next to Zhao Changhe and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, do you like this kind of small shop?"
Zhao Changhe glanced at him.
He is obviously a middle-aged man with elegant appearance, long beard, handsome appearance and temperament, but with the surrounding scene, he has a cold feeling no matter how he looks at him.
Zhao Changhe ate the side dishes leisurely without raising his head: "I'm just passing by and leaving soon. What's the point of going out? Brother Zhai has a lot of things to do, so there's no need to disturb him."
Zhai Muzhi seemed completely unaware that he had just said, "Zhai Muzhi is not qualified to be greeted by Wang." He smiled heartily and said, "Since Brother Wang is here, none of his plans can compare to Brother Wang." Hair. Come on!"
Following the words, dishes were brought out like water flowing from the door.
The table Zhao Changhe was sitting on was just an ordinary small square table. There was only enough room for a few dishes before it was full. The servants stood on the side with other dishes to serve them, holding them steadily without even daring to move.
Most of the dishes were of the kind that required a certain amount of rare birds to make a few hearty dishes. Zhao Changhe thought of the desolation along the way.
The sufferings of aristocratic families and the people have always been two worlds.
In fact, Cui Wang Yangtang and other families are probably not doing much better, but they have not made it so obvious, at least they will not show it deliberately. When Wang Zhaoling hosted a banquet for Qianlong, although the food at the banquet was good, it made people think that this is what wealthy people are like, but it was not too much... Maybe their family has already passed this pattern of being suspected of being a nouveau riche.
But in reality they are not much different. Just look at Zhai Muzhi's attitude towards Wang Daozhong and you will know that they are all the same.
Dharma Chi and others followed Maitreya to rebel. At least they were not all deceived in the beginning... That was true, and there were people in the Maitreya sect. The bandits and bandits in various places may not really want to be thieves. When Xue Canghai established a stronghold in Wushan, his followers were like an army, and he was sharpening his sword. He was really waiting for an opportunity.
How many people in the world are similar to Dharma-mad Xue Canghai...
So although Zhao Changhe respects Tang Wanzhuang's loyalty to the empire and his desire to stabilize the world, what he really agrees with in his heart is that Zhuque Chichi's rebellion is justified, and he hopes that Tang Wanzhuang will disarm and return to his hometown. This has never been concealed from Tang Wanzhuang. Zhuang, she knew... Wan Zhuang didn't really give it to him. Seeing that he was almost healed from his injury, he ran very fast. Maybe this was the main reason.
Yes, why didn’t I think of this before? This is the main reason...
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and I pretended to be well-informed, and said calmly: "Brother Zhai is making it very difficult for me..."
Zhai Muzhi smiled and said: "What? Do you think Zhai didn't treat you well?"
Zhao Changhe shook his head: "Wang is going to Miao territory, so he has to be prepared to endure hardships. What if Brother Zhai whets his appetite and makes him reluctant to go?"
Zhai Muzhi clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Wang, you are worrying too much. People like you will never endure hardship anywhere."
"Oh?" Zhao Changhe said: "Brother Zhai is familiar with Miao territory, right? Brother Zhai seems to be in charge of the Xuanwei Department over there?"
"Not directly, not directly." Zhai Muzhi said with a smile: "Of course, if Brother Wang wants to go, Zhai's side can still be of some use."
Zhao Changhe asked deliberately: "Wang caused some trouble in Hongnong. Brother Zhai is not afraid of causing trouble?"
It is said that it is Hongnong's matter, but in fact it is the Wang family's rebellion. What does he, Zhai Muzhi, want to do when he is so affectionate?
Zhai Muzhi seemed not to understand, and said with a smile: "Who has not done anything sinful... In the future, Brother Wang will help the Yang family, and maybe it will be over. The iron-clad Langya King, who can do it? Do you really have trouble with Brother Wang?”
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly and raised his glass: "Then please give Brother Zhai a chance to make a difference."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhai Muzhi raised his glasses and clinked them, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang went to Miao territory, why? Is there anything that Zhai needs help with?"
"That is to say, I want to get to know Southwest Toast and see if I can expand the family business. If Brother Zhai can match up, that would be great."
"Easy to say." Zhai Muzhi handed over a belt: "Brother Wang takes my belt to the Southwest Xuanwei Division, and they will always give me some face."
Zhao Changhe took the waist badge and said with a smile: "Brother Zhai's favor has been recorded in my royal decree. If you come to Langya in the future, Wang will do his best to entertain you."
Li Si'an almost spit out a mouthful of wine.
However, Zhao Changhe changed the subject and asked as if in a casual conversation: "Speaking of which, Wang passed by Bashan here and wanted to visit Shi Wuding, but found that Jianlu was empty. What's going on?"
"We are also investigating this matter. Jianlu quietly disappeared at some point. Bashu was stunned. No one knew what happened." Zhai Muzhi said with a smile: "In fact, it is not surprising. If someone is found, This excellent secret realm serves as a sect's base, and it is normal for the sect to move around... If after some time, Jianlu disciples come out to travel around the world, the truth will naturally be revealed. This kind of thing is not worth spending any energy on. "
Zhao Changhe was thoughtful.
There are not many people in Jianlu. If the sect is really moved, there will be a lot of noise. It is impossible for such a powerful combat force to move on a large scale as the prefect of Shu County without making noise. Moreover, it is said that many of you are unnamed disciples of Jianlu. Is abnormal movement so unimportant?
Zhai Muzhi's statement must be a cover for Jianlu.
Maybe Jianlu could disappear so silently, and the Demon Suppressor took such a long time to get wind of it, maybe because there was official cover behind it.
Looking at it this way, the relocation may have nothing to do with Yue Hongling... On the contrary, it was Yue Hongling who encountered something unusual after their relocation and wanted to be silenced, so they started fighting...
Is it really not Tingxue Tower?
Why has it become complicated...
