Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 512: Arrival
Chapter 512 The Arrival
Even though she knew what was going to happen sooner or later, Sisi was still so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
She knew that their days of living together and flying together had ended because of this war. No matter how long it took to end the war, it was impossible for Zhao Changhe to come back and continue living.
He has completed his phased practice. Perhaps there are still some secrets hidden here that have not been revealed, but they cannot be revealed at this stage. Maybe the day of return will be at the turn of next summer and autumn, and I will take Suzaku and White Tiger with me to see if I can unlock deeper secrets.
"I will come again." Zhao Changhe lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Don't look like that, let's work first."
Sisi pursed her lips and muttered: "Lei Zhentang is recovering well, but if he insists on jumping out, I think he is looking for death!"
Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly. It seems that Zhai Muzhi is here to suppress you. Lei Zhentang is in alliance with you, okay? You scolded Lei Zhentang... It can be seen that Sisi has identified Zhai Muzhi and Lei Zhentang as a group. , but Zhao Changhe felt that he could not make any arbitrary conclusions yet.
Having said that, regardless of whether they are a group or not, there will be a struggle for Miao hegemony in the future, and Sisi and Hei Miao will have a battle. It's normal for Sisi to throw heat at Lei Zhentang.
Zhao Changhe stood up and said, "Let's go, I have to go out and check the situation... In this state, I don't even know who to hit."
I really don’t know who to hit...
Theoretically, Zhai Muzhi sent troops because he received news about the summer arrangement in Miao territory. It took more than a month to arrive. It was surprisingly slow, but it was still very reasonable. Zhao Changhe could not say that he was from Shu County. What's wrong with coming out to open eyes for Xia people?
Perhaps this was because Li Si'an and other secret agents of the Demon Suppression Division reported the situation here to the imperial court. After the imperial court issued an order, Shu County slowly took action.
But it is impossible to join Zhai Muzhi's side to suppress the Miao territory... Why did the Miao territory rebel? Although it was driven by the ambition of the black seedlings, the most fundamental factor was that Zhai Muzhi's exploitation aroused widespread public indignation. Otherwise, just It was Heimiao's ambition, and it was impossible for other Bai and Yao tribes to cooperate with him. No matter how ambitious Lei Zhentang was, he would have to swallow it.
Zhao Changhe knew very well who the imaginary enemy he was eager to break through the second level of secrets during this period was.
It's not Lei Zhentang, but Zhai Muzhi.
Whether Zhai Muzhi has a conspiracy or is just greedy and vicious, if a knight sees something like this, he will be the first to kill him.
But Zhai Muzhi is no ordinary dog official, he is number one on the human list.
Perhaps the previous number one on the list was just a secret treasure, such as the Vulture Hunter's Tooth back then, and his entry into the list was purely a fill-in.
However, it is also conceivable that this kind of character is only one step away from the second secret treasure, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough at any time. After such a long time, I am making rapid progress, and it is impossible for others to stay still. There is a great possibility that Vulture Hunting Tooth is already a second-level secret treasure.
Similarly, Zhai Muzhi's ranking on the popular list has not changed for many years... It has been at the top of the popular list for a long time, but now?
To treat him as a first level secret treasure is obviously underestimated and must be treated as a second level.
With my previous level, let alone the Xingxia Killing Dog Officer, if I dare to make a random move, I will have to pay for it.
But it's different now... Zhao Changhe is confident enough in his current strength.
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment: "Well, let's prepare the army for war. I'll go see Zhai Muzhi first."
Sisi was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Zhao Changhe was not from the Miao ethnic group. He was from Xia... or a Xia person holding the Secret Agent Card of the Suppressing Demon Division. He was fully qualified to meet and talk to Zhai Muzhi.
Sisi scratched her head: "Isn't it possible that you have been doing this for a long time and you want to help Zhai Muzhi beat us?"
Zhao Changhe slapped her on the butt: "Good boy, just wash it off and wait for the master to slap her on the bed."
Looking at the blushing queen, the maids who reported the news turned their heads.
The posture I saw from afar when reporting the message just now is still circling in my mind. His Majesty was still wiping the corners of his mouth when he stood up... Zhai Mu Zhilei Zhentang's interruption this time seemed to have disturbed a very important place.
…………
Sisi did not bring many people from the Secret Realm Spirit Clan, but only brought some young people who yearned for the colorful world outside, which could be regarded as neutralizing the proportion of Xia people in Taoyuan Town outside.
In fact, there is no need to rely on the support of the secret realm. The people in Taoyuan Town alone are already a force that Miaojiang cannot ignore.
Although the absolute number of troops is not very large, the Xia people basically all practice martial arts and are very elite; and the Miao Territory's witchcraft and Gu magic spirit tribe can also do it, and they are even more sophisticated. Combining the two aspects, Taoyuan Town is definitely one of the strongest separatist forces around Dali.
As soon as Sisi came out of the secret realm, she immediately mobilized her troops and rushed to Dali to participate in the coalition meeting.
Zhao Changhe rode north, passing through the paths filled with miasma poisonous insects, and headed straight to the north where Zhai Mu's troops gathered.
Zhai Mu's soldiers and horses were already very close to the Miao border. It is not known whether his march deliberately avoided the Emei line where the Shenhuang Sect was located and went farther west. At this time, he was heading south along a river in the west. The name of this river made Zhao Changhe very kind, and he wanted to touch a cigarette and smoke it.
This river is called Litang River, and its northwest upper reaches pass through Litang... But now it has reached the lower reaches and is about to enter Miao territory.
The army marched until dusk, drank from the Litang River and set up camp.
Zhao Changhe hurriedly traveled for two days and caught up with the army and horses setting up camp. He observed it from a distance and shook his head.
This lazy look, which took a long time to set up camp, is incomparable to that of Jiangnan, let alone Yanmen. Among them, the one who looks like a forward general is leaning against a tree to gather a crowd to drink, and from time to time he scolds: "Why the **** are you writing something quickly? The central army of the prefect will be here in a minute. I can't beat you to death!"
The soldiers were all sallow and thin, and dressed in rags. Some of them took out their dry food and drank water. Zhao Changhe found that the dry food seemed to be rancid.
Someone pulled out a waist knife to cut the stake, and Zhao Changhe keenly discovered that the knife had been chipped and had rust.
Go to war with just these soldiers and horses?
Let's send them to the Miao border. Whether you can survive the poisonous miasma ahead is a question mark.
He immediately watched from a distance for so long, and then a team of scouts noticed and gathered around: "Who!"
Zhao Changhe looked at a group of sallow-looking scouts and sighed: "I am a secret agent of Daxia Town Magic Division. I have something important to see Governor Zhai. Please pass the message."
"The governor is still behind...he will not move in until we finish setting up camp..."
The general over there noticed the conversation and shouted: "What's going on?"
"General Zhai, some people here say that he is a secret agent of the Demon Suppression Department."
"People from the Demon Suppressing Division? Let's take a look at the brand."
Zhao Changhe took out the jade token from a distance.
"Pfft..." The general couldn't see the brand clearly, but he saw the color at a glance. He spit out a mouthful of wine and coughed: "He's a **** Jade Agent..."
Following the words, the lieutenants and guards around him hid things and tried to pull away the soldiers beside him.
The general waved his hand carelessly: "What are you hiding? Please invite this colleague from the Demon Suppression Department to come over and talk."
Zhao Changhe rode his horse closer and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Those soldiers that the guards wanted to hide were clearly women.
Not only was the woman's eyes dull and stained with blood, but she was accompanying her with great fear.
Zhao Changhe's eyes glanced at the things they had not had time to hide before...
Those were the heads of Xia people, and the blood stains were particularly fresh.
"Oh, this secret agent has a great surname? You don't see many jade medals. This level is comparable to that of our prefect." General Zhai didn't care about these things being seen, and stood up to greet him with a smile: "Come on. Come, have a drink together... Our governor will be here soon."
"Since he is a secret agent, of course it is not convenient for him to be named." Zhao Changhe got off his horse with an expressionless face.
"Oh, that's right, we can't turn the corner, haha." General Zhai seemed to come over to help him, but he quietly handed over a piece of gold in his hand.
Zhao Changhe picked up.
Seeing that he accepted the answer, General Zhai smiled even more. He directly pulled a woman beside him and pushed her into Zhao Changhe's arms: "Let's just say they are all colleagues..."
Zhao Changhe felt the woman's trembling fear and pressed the handle of the knife with one hand. There was a horrifying murderous intention hidden under his calm eyes.
Smoke and dust rose in the distance, and Zhai Muzhi's Chinese army arrived.
Zhao Changhe slowly let go of his hand, not wanting to alarm the snake for the time being, he laughed: "I have important things to do, so I really don't have the time to have a banquet with the general. After I see Prefect Zhai and hand over my duties, I will go back to have a drink with the general. I will be drunk." Drink from the underworld."
How come these words are just like that uneducated Situ Xiao, who kept drinking until he was drunk...
The general felt quite unlucky and waved his hand: "Since the prefect is here, I am also going to the banquet. Let's go together."

PS: I may have had a bad stomachache last night, but I’ve been having stomachaches for the whole day today, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
