Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 408: Go to Jiangnan again
Chapter 408 Go to Jiangnan again
This kidney is very timely.
Zhao Changhe still wanted to show some respect, but he did not openly attend the grand farewell breakfast banquet with Huangfu Qing. He hid in his yard and ate breakfast because his kidneys were burning hot.
Huangfu Qingcai was too lazy to care so much. He went to the banquet dressed up as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing as usual, as if he didn't know what others were slandering.
Yang Jingxiu also acted as if he didn’t know what was going on, and the scene was full of flowers. He thanked the imperial concubine for coming to the birthday banquet, and the Yang family was so happy. The old minister burst into tears of gratitude and didn’t know what to say... and respectfully wished His Majesty a long life. ,Greenery.
Tang Wanzhuang excused herself from feeling unwell and did not come to dinner. Only Cui Yuanyang was sitting at the table, poking a rabbit-shaped birthday peach with his kuaizi, until his buttocks were almost broken.
It makes me uncomfortable to see Huangfuqing sitting there looking radiant and refreshed...
It was originally mine. Why are you so proud of it? Isn’t it just because you are older and I am afraid that your time will be numbered?
Huang Fuqing glanced at her with a friendly smile of a victor: "How about Miss Cui's traveling with me today?"
Cui Yuanyang poked: "Who wants to go with you..."
Huangfu said affectionately: "Let you smell it on the way, it will give you a sense of participation."
Cui Yuanyang(??□′)??┻━┻
Huangfu Qing won a great victory and led everyone back to the capital.
The only drawback is that the man surnamed Tang still dares not come out to meet him. It’s a pity that he has no chance to ridicule, so he has to let the scheming little **** of the Cui family take the blame...
Although I had tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit for the first time, I was reluctant to leave right away, but Suzaku is Suzaku after all, and she will not be obsessed with Mianshou. She has to do her thing. I don't even want to say goodbye, it's so boring.
Well, as long as we treat it as face-to-face, many things will be much easier to accept...
I don’t know if Wang Daozhong was kidnapped. Judging from the fact that the Book of Troubled Times has not been flashed, at least there was no incident such as Xia Longyuan killing Wang Daoning or Wang Daoning killing Qin Dingjiang. Everything seems to be on the surface. Calm and calm.
Huangfuqing is very interested in the changes in this matter... The Wang family, which used to be thought to be a giant, now seems to be leaking everywhere and is worse than the imperial court. Their anti-thief cooperation was originally led by the Wang family, but now it seems that it is still unclear who is in charge.
In fact, the face-faced little piglet just asked himself to "convey to the Lord" that he hoped Suzaku would participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Maitreya. After careful consideration, Huangfu only said that she would report back to the Lord for her to make a decision, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.
Although the Four Symbols Sect and the Maitreya Sect are unable to deal with each other due to their different beliefs, and have even killed each other's Jiangbei Buddha, the attack in this situation is a bit different.
After all, they are all rebels in the general direction, not to mention that in this case, encircling and suppressing Maitreya is simply acting as a thug for the Tang family... Simply saying that Maitreya can be wiped out too easily is not in the interests of the rebels.
But there was one thing about this matter that really concerned her, and Zhao Changhe also used this point to ask her to "convey the message to His Holiness": that was the shadow of the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya.
There is no one who is not interested in following the footsteps of the ancients. The more people are on the Heavenly List, the more interested they are... In the past, I only had various relics and relics. This is the first time I have seen a real person. How can Suzaku not have a little bit of it? Itchy?
Other times, it is impossible to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with such a "god and Buddha", experience the opponent's strength level with your own hands, or even directly question him... This time may be the best opportunity. Can the Four Symbols Teaching Can’t fall behind others? Tang Wanzhuang picked everything up and couldn't get anything...
From this point of view, not only do you want to go, but you'd better call the dead turtle to go too... Don't say that good things are missing out on sisters.
It’s really confusing.
Hmm... No matter whether she goes or not, it is always right to let the dead turtle come to the capital to meet and chat, and give her a good beating first!
…………
"If you are dating her, will it affect Suzaku's decision-making?" Tang Wanzhuang asked calmly and knowingly while sitting in the courtyard.
The so-called "If you really violate human ethics, I will be very disappointed", the facts prove that it does not exist.
Zhao Changhe sat in front of her like a primary school student and secretly watched her for a long time. He could not see her mood or anger, so he answered honestly: "Whether she can influence Suzaku's decision-making is not important, and I don't want to take advantage of my feelings... uh... ...Anyway, the key point is that Suzaku should be interested in the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya. It is very likely that she will take action. I suspect that Xuanwu will take this matter more seriously than the aristocratic family and other sects."
Tang Wanzhuang seemed unable to understand what his pause meant, and said calmly: "Yes, she can influence Suzaku's decision-making."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
Tang Wanzhuang changed the subject: "Actually, judging from the one who tried to scare me off before, you are not so strong that you are so cautious about inviting all the heroes... at least there are big restrictions. Are you still Know something else? ”
"When they come to this world, there should indeed be some restrictions, so that many things require agents. But if we want to eradicate the roots and invade his secret realm, his performance will definitely not be the same as that day. Don't Calling me prudent, I even want to use all the power I can use to press forward. At this moment, I am thinking whether I should visit the Shenhuang Sect..."
"Almost..." Tang Wanzhuang said: "The more people, the better... Just like your former Green Forest, if the alliance does something big, the final division of the spoils may lead to internal strife. Now Ying Wu needs a secret realm, The Yang family owes you a favor and needs your treatment. The Cui family's uncle and the Four Symbols sect may want to pry into the secrets of gods and Buddhas. It can be said that there is no conflict with each other. Once they are reconciled, everyone will be happy. Once you pull in Li's supernatural power, you don't know. What he wants may not be appropriate. If there are still colluding forces in the future, you need to take this into consideration."
Zhao Changhe was stunned, nodded and said: "I have learned a lesson."
"I am your master." Tang Wanzhuang raised her tea cup and took a sip of tea gracefully.
Zhao Changhe looked at her again and hesitated to speak.
Tang Wanzhuang put down her tea cup and sighed: "It's a pity that a certain apprentice daughter-in-law was so rude that she didn't know how to offer tea to the master before she left."
Bao Qin also hesitated to speak.
Come on, miss, I don’t know how angry I will be if I meet you, so don’t send it away.
Tang Wanzhuang looked to the left and then to the right. Their expressions were both irritating. She put down the tea cup with a little more force, making a "clang" sound.
Zhao Changhe sat at attention.
Tang Wanzhuang said with a straight face: "What I said last night, as long as you are not stupid, you will know that I deliberately provoked her to help you succeed. It's ridiculous that someone thought that he had taken advantage... How could one or two You think I’m unhappy? You want me to beat you up, right?”
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "No, no..."
Tang Wanzhuang seemed not to hear, and nodded: "Since you asked so, I will reluctantly satisfy you."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
"Bang!" The next moment he was overthrown, Tang Wanzhuang beat him viciously and walked away.
"Let's go, Jiangnan!"
…………
When they went north to Hongnong, Jiangnan was in full swing to suppress the Maitreya sect.
The rise and fall of Maitreya is very similar to the Yellow Turban in the late Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was huge and sweeping, but after a few rounds of sniping at key points, the momentum visibly weakened.
At first, hooking up with foreigners had some effect. The imperial troops, money and food were all tied up, and they were unable to organize a large-scale southward force.
However, the resistance of the Jiangnan nobles alone caused the Maitreya Sect to fall into a quagmire and make little progress.
It is a trivial matter to collude with the Wang family and be destroyed by Zhao Changhe. In fact, killing the messenger in front of the door cannot be the key to hindering the collusion between the two. The real key is that Wang Daoning looks down on the Maitreya Cult. The wealthy family has no regard for this grassroots cult. The contempt comes from the bottom of his heart, including the resistance of the wealthy families in the south. This is the reason.
It is also for this reason that when the Maitreya Sect gained the upper hand in the early days, there was no way to massacre the city and exterminate the clan. If the local nobles did not cooperate, if you did not kill them, you would only create chaos in the rear and stab them at any time.
But the more this happens, the more vicious the cycle becomes, so that the road becomes narrower and narrower.
When the barbarians were repelled and the imperial court was able to support the south, Maitreya became increasingly difficult to defeat. By the time Tang Buqi defeated Maitreya's main force on the eastern front in Taihu, it was basically possible to declare the countdown to Maitreya's defeat.
In the end, they placed high hopes on the Xiangyang line, and even had a certain chance to kill Tang Wanzhuang. However, Zhao Changhe appeared out of nowhere and brought the Blood God Sect. The whole thing was messed up, and even Maitreya himself was seriously injured and died. Return.
From then on, Tang Buqi called on the heroes in the south to launch a major counterattack against Maitreya. In just ten months, all the lost territory was recovered, and the troops reached Kuaiji, Maitreya's base camp.
According to many historical deductions, this is called the vanguard of the king. The growing forces in the fight against Maitreya may start a new round of competition, such as Lu Shiheng before him. The allied commander who led his troops to defeat Maitreya may become the new overlord.
Da Xia's good luck is that this commander-in-chief is a product of the Tang family. What is even better luck is that he has an aunt above him regardless of his decision.
When Zhao Changhe went all the way south, he felt very strange in his heart. He never thought that Nima's Tang Buqi almost had a chance to compete in the world... Is there something wrong with this world...
If it weren't for Tang Wanzhuang's pressure, he seemed to be able to do it... But then again, without Tang Wanzhuang's prestige and the assistance of the powerful generals dispatched from the Demon Suppression Division, no one would pay attention to Tang Buqi in the early stage. He could not even grow. There is no chance...
What Zhao Changhe didn't understand the most was that when it was said that troubled times were coming, it was obvious that every family was still waiting for an opportunity, and they still are to this day. And where did Maitreya get the confidence to dare to be the first to pull the flag a year ago before it was clear that the time was not yet ripe?
Is it because I am uneducated and have not studied history, so I cannot understand the situation clearly?
Or was it forced to advance due to the destruction of the two events in Yangzhou and Suzhou?
Or is he too confident in his alliance with the barbarians and too underestimated the power of the southern gentry?
Or was it because of the urging of the gods and demons behind it that it was a last resort? What are they thinking?
Zhao Changhe is very interested... Not to mention that Suzaku Xuanwu is interested in gods and demons, the person who is really most interested in him is Zhao Changhe. And this is also the first time, except for the blind man, that he has truly faced gods and demons head-on.
