Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 439: Loyalty and Tun Changhong

Chapter 439: Loyalty and Tun Changhong

I realized that it was impossible to dig out more information about Jianlu from Zhai Muzhi, and I didn't dare to ask him directly about Yue Hongling.

Then there is nothing more to say... Zhao Changhe did not socialize with Zhai Muzhiduo. He excused himself that it was late and had to catch up with his hostess, so he had a quick meal and left.

The motorcade left slowly. Zhai Muzhi smiled like a spring breeze and gave away the gifts, showing great respect for King Langya. When no one could see him anymore, his smile remained the same.

It’s just the shivering people nearby that make this scene inexplicably weird.

Xie Ruhai stood aside and remained silent. He waited until the convoy was far away and then whispered to Zhai Muzhi: "My lord, it seems that he was really sent to Miao territory. This trip should have nothing to do with us. On the contrary, Li Why is Si An hanging out with him? Do we need to check?"

Zhai Muzhi shook his head and said: "It is impossible for a businessman like Li Si'an to offend King Langya. He will basically refuse to do anything the king asks him to do. There is no point in checking him, but it is the opposite."

Xie Ruhai said: "What do we need to do when Wang Daozhong goes to the southwest?"

Zhai Muzhi pondered for a moment: "First of all, you have only met this person in the early years, so you may not be sure whether it is him or not. Although his demeanor seems correct, ordinary people who are used to seeing people in high positions cannot pretend to do so. Even a wealthy man like Li Si'an would inevitably be cautious when meeting an official. He might even be a little condescending when talking... After all, it's better to be more cautious and go to Langya to make sure."

Xie Ruhai bowed and said: "Yes."

Zhai Mu said: "Everything about the Wang family is strange. They shouldn't have shown their rebellion so early. Secondly, now they have already revealed their rebellion. Even the Cui Yang family sent troops to suppress it, but what did your Majesty do? He didn't say anything, but he still let Wang Daozhong be released... It was clear that he had completely lost his authority and was under the control of the family. I even wondered if this was a play between His Majesty and the Wang family, to lure the snake out of its hole. ? Whoever goes to hook up with the Wang family will cooperate with His Majesty to beat him."

This is a popular judgment in Shuzhong, and similar speculations will not happen overnight.

Xie Ruhai then said: "So Wang Daozhong's coming to the southwest is most likely to test us... We just need to deal with it, and it's all good for you and me?"

Zhai Muzhi showed a smile: "Let's wait and see... If the situation is right, what we should do is maybe capture Wang Daozhong and hand it over to Tang Wanzhuang... Even if Tang Wanzhuang knows something about such loyal ministers as us, Most of the time, you can just hold your nose and turn a blind eye."

Xie Ruhai also laughed: "Don't look at what the Demon Suppression Division is doing is the so-called slaying demons, punishing **** and eradicating evil. After all, she is sitting on this country."

"Let me inform Sect Master Shi that his strength is just right for Wang Daozhong."

"That Yue Hongling..."

"Yue Hongling has a lot of experience in the world. It's hard to find. You can take your time... After all, she is still hiding in Miao territory. She doesn't even dare to show her face, let alone go out... I want to see if she can hide." Until when!”

…………

Zhao Changhe has never thought that Wang Daozhong's status may cause trouble... The family members will not run around all over the world, naturally they have their reasons.

What a coincidence, this matter really has something to do with both Yue Hongling and Jianlu... If he had to choose again, he would still have to pretend to be the king.

Lao Wang is really a lucky star.

However, Zhao Changhe didn't know it at this moment. He and Li Si'an rode side by side all the way out of Shu County. When exchanging opinions, they both felt that Zhai Muzhi's attitude was very normal.

"It's a normal friendship between aristocratic family members. Now that Wang Daozhong is here, he must show some courtesy."

"Well, just like this nouveau riche attitude, there is something wrong with it..." Zhao Changhe sucked his teeth painfully: "Have you eaten a few bites just now, did you eat up my annual income... Oh no, I'm especially No salary."

"Uh..." Li Si'an thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Actually, you are paid... You seem to be a secret agent of the Demon Suppression Division, with a very high level, second only to the first one."

Zhao Changhe: "Where can I get the money? This will delay my salary for at least a year."

Li Si'an looked at the road ahead intently: "If you receive a salary, you must recognize the person in charge as your boss. Are you sure?"

Zhao Changhe was overjoyed: "Is there such a good thing?"

Perverts or you are perverts? Li Si'an rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to him about this. He said instead: "He is not necessarily a nouveau riche, but he is used to it. He does this all the time, and he also feels that the Wang family The Cui family did the same thing."

Zhao Changhe said: "How is his official reputation? I think the people are afraid of him to the core."

"Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow is extremely serious." Li Si'an said: "Let's not talk about anything else. In the past few months, the forced conscripts dug canals in the winter. I don't know how many people died. There was a mourning in Shu. . Reporting to the imperial court is a great benefit to people’s livelihood and is highly praised.”

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "How is Shenhuang Sect?"

The most powerful sect in the world, the God Huang Sect, is located in Emei, Shu.

I don’t know how these righteous and powerful sects balance the behavior of the government. Will they cut off the heads of dog officials when they act chivalrously? From the current point of view, it seems that they are like light and dust, so it is called "the right way". To put it bluntly, Guichen is no different to the Wang family.

Situ Xiao’s temperament probably can’t stand this kind of thing. I haven’t heard anything about Situ Xiao since I left Yanmen. Maybe it has something to do with it? Self-imposed confinement, or going to a more remote place.

Li Si'an shook his head: "I don't know. The Shenhuang Sect is known as the best sect in the world, but it is actually very low-key. Except for the direct disciple Situ Xiaoyou, there is very little news about them."

"Why is it just like Jianlu, no external communication?"

"Most of the habits in the land of Bashu are like this..." Li Si'an said: "What's more, for Li Shentong, the significance of his town of Bailiao in the southwest will be greater, and he will be less involved in the affairs of the Middle Earth."

Zhao Changhe said: "Will we pass by Emei when we go here? I was entrusted by someone to bring something to Li Shentong, but there were too many things before and I really couldn't run so far away. This time we arrived in Bashu , just in time to meet."

Li Si'an said: "It takes several days, so I'll take the Emei road. What did you bring?"

"A pot of wine."

Li Si'an: "?"

You have a lot of troubles here, but you still have the thought to give someone a bottle of wine?

Zhao Changhe said: "I am already very ashamed. I have been putting it off for several months. To be honest, if I hadn't been on the road this time, I wouldn't have even thought about going there. I would probably wait until I finished my work and returned... Sometimes I think about it, when I first came out of the world, my ambition to travel thousands of miles just for a promise seems to have weakened a lot without knowing it. It's really better to be free."

Li Si'an smiled: "Who knows how Han Wubing is doing today? Time in the world makes people grow old, and a lot of things are pressing on them. Who can stay young forever?"

Zhao Changhe's eyes sparkled: "Everything will be done eventually. I also believe that Han Wubing is still Han Wubing today."

Just as he said this, golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The two of them looked up in surprise, and saw a new chapter in the Book of Troubled Times:

"April, the beginning of summer."

"When Han Wubing was in Yanmen, he noticed that the Tingxuelou assassin was trying to find out information about his friends. He pursued it for thousands of miles, from winter to summer, searching for May. In May, the Tingxuelou assassin Yingshuang was on the Jiange plank road. Before he could complete his work, Yingxue Frost escapes."

"Win or lose in the rankings, the rankings will be reversed."

"Thirty-three on the list, Han Wubing."

"I came to the banquet to bow to the breeze and swallow the rainbow with loyalty."

――――

PS: Some book friends reminded me that Maitreya also died on the list, and Zhai Muzhi should have been fourth.

The list changes in real time, my mind is confused, it has been modified, thank you for catching insects~ I can do more like this kind of catching insects~
