Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 608: Nothing today

Chapter 608 No use today

At this time, Jiangnan was almost a year away from Maitreya's defeat.

Although there are also wars between various forces in the south, they are relatively sporadic and not large in scale. Every family is reviving production and licking the wounds caused by Maitreya.

Under the careful thought of all parties intending to separate their territories, they all invariably did not pursue the former Maitreya believers. They basically absorbed them in the name of "refugees" and guided them back to the fields for production. Among them, the Tang family did this the most. Hundreds of thousands of Maitreya sect's defeated soldiers were quietly absorbed and dispersed, and each returned to production. The elite among them were organized into an army.

Once we start to focus on the economy, Jiangnan will recover quickly based on its foundation. In particular, the Tang family's base camp in Suzhou and Hangzhou has recovered a lot. In the context of today's vigorous expansion of sea trade, Ningbo Port is a top priority.

When a family of three went offshore, the scene was bustling with people, vendors were everywhere, and the buildings were full of red sleeves. It was even worse than in Yangzhou before.

In less than a year, Jiangnan, which was once depressed under the iron heel of Maitreya, seems to have been a long time ago...

After all, this place is the center of maritime trade. Not only the Tang family’s caravan, but also other maritime traders came out from here; it was not only Penglai that they went to, but also a lot of small countries that were beaten by Hai Changkong on Dong’an Island. Its column. In places that Zhao Changhe could not see during this trip, and even before the discussion of opening the sea was mentioned, maritime trade was already in full swing, and it became even more intensive after the opening of the sea.

It is ironic that the proposal to open the sea originally proposed not sea trade, but sea transportation... The result of sea transport is still unknown, but it has led to the prosperity of sea trade, which can be regarded as an unintentional one.

"Tang Buqi's methods are not bad." Xia Chichi looked around at the bustling port and admired: "I thought he was very stupid. Is it true that as long as he stands on the wind, a pig can fly? It's like House fire pigs can conquer the mysterious..."

"?" Zhao Changhe interrupted: "I was born in a noble family. I had my aunt smoke me with a broom since I was a child. I haven't fallen behind on what I should learn... What have I done in the past year or so? Isn't it remarkable?" Point."

"I think you only remember my aunt." Xia Chichi said with disdain: "I feel that some people like old people and elders, such as master uncles. And there happen to be some who are disrespectful to the elderly. If we can get together, whatever goes with it will last forever."

Sanniang: "?"

With a "bang" sound, the four-image saintess flying dragon appeared in the sky.

"I disturbed a good thing all the way on the boat. I wanted to beat you and you are still gasping for breath?" Sanniang cursed in the sky, took back her kick to her niece, turned to Zhao Changhe and asked, "Look at you heading straight to the avenue and heading north. I don’t have the slightest feeling of appreciating the prosperity of this place, are you seeing something else?”

"Well, sometimes I feel that things like qi reading or divination... are a bit troublesome. I know clearly that the change in qi numbers does not represent what is happening now. It is a trend and can be reversed, but I know the situation I felt very worried about taking a big step towards that trend, so I lost all the mood to do other things. ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "So I won't think about it. I just want to figure out how to use the power of faith. The other ones? MeiGinGaoHuaLeGeUmbrella?..."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Are you from here?"

Sanniang smiled: "Hangzhou, but it's not interesting. I don't have any relatives anymore. What else is there to see..."

"Ton~" Xia Chichi fell back to the ground, glanced at the old woman, and stopped talking to avoid being kicked again.

Even if you steal my man, you still kick me...were you kissed by me honestly when they were together, how could you be so proud...

It was obvious that the uncle still wanted to visit his old place, but he gave up because Zhao Changhe was not in a high mood. That's how old women are, right? She looks gentle and considerate and obeys her husband when she gets married. Can't you guess that he is thinking about other old women now?

Forget it, Xia Chichi is actually a little worried about her. In theory, the old woman is his wife, okay? Although no one said a word, they were still on guard when they met.

While the three of them were talking, they quickly left Ningbo City.

After I left, I realized that the prosperity was only superficial. After leaving Ningbo and heading north, traces of the former desolation could still be seen along the way.

Villages are sparse. It is rare to see one within a hundred miles. There are less than three or four households in the village. There are occasional signs of bandits and bandits. It can be seen that the previous prosperity was nothing more than concentrating the population in important towns. Just like people who were bright on the outside, they were riddled with holes on the inside.

Wars and massacres are traumas that can never be recovered in a year. Tang Buqi's recovery work has been done well, and time is limited and he cannot ask for more. In a few more years, it should be possible to prosper again and present the Jiangnan that everyone thinks of.

But is there such time?

The current sense of dilapidation and fragmentation is the main reason why the fate of mountains and rivers has been thrown into chaos.

In Xia Longyuan's eyes, there are no ordinary people in the country. In his eyes, they are just NPCs, generating unparalleled data... But it turns out that even data will give data feedback in due aspects.

Zhao Changhe was in a very heavy mood and rushed all the way to Gusu. He needed to understand the current situation in China with Tang Buqi, and he still wanted to pick up his Wu Zhui.

"Stop, Lu Yin... eh?" the city gate guard was shouting, his eyes suddenly fixed: "King Shura..."

Zhao Changhe found that he was so famous now that even if he hid his iconic dragon bird in his ring, others would recognize him at a glance from the scars on his face. Ordinarily, there are many gangsters in COS who have scars. I don’t know why others can accurately know that this is Zhao Changhe...

Maybe the aura is really different.

King Shura enters the city!

These five words spread quietly throughout Suzhou, and the whole city was shaken in an instant.

When Zhao Changhe stepped into the city, he felt the evasive eyes around him. Everyone including the city gate guards seemed to be holding back their words. The whole city was filled with a strange emotion.

As soon as we reached the first street into the city, Tang Buqi came out like a gust of wind: "You have done a great thing!"

Zhao Changhe stopped and said with a half-smile, "I don't seem to be as old as you."

Tang Buqi was not frightened by these words. He just glanced at Sanniang and Xia Chichi with a slight hesitation, and said with a straight face: "Slaying God is amazing, now you have two of them, right?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I suggest you be polite to them, otherwise I won't be able to stop them from being torn alive."

Tang Buqi roughly knew who these two people were, so he didn't dare to say anything and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go, let me catch the wind for you."

Zhao Changhe did not follow him and stood still on the street. He glared at Tang Buqi and said, "As soon as I set foot on land, the first thing I wanted to do was rush to Beijing. It would be better for you to sit in Gusu and be in the mood to treat guests to drinks. ?"

Tang Buqi sighed helplessly: "Isn't it because it's you? If it were someone else, do you think I would have ignored him or not?"

Zhao Changhe just looked at him steadily and said nothing.

The sky was filled with light snow, the north wind was blowing, the long street was deserted and silent, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing and awkward for a while.

After a long while, Tang Buqi said helplessly: "I did have a quarrel with my aunt, but this is a family matter... Can we not talk about it on the street?"

Zhao Changhe suddenly smiled, as if the flowers were blooming in spring: "Then let's drink."

It was just a quarrel. You can use your buttocks to figure out what the quarrel was about. It was actually not bad.

What Zhao Changhe is most worried about is that Tang Buqi secretly hopes that his aunt will be killed and even takes action for it. That is the coldest, most vicious and most in line with his interests. He hopes that today's Buqi will not become such a person. .

Everyone entered the roadside wine shop. Tang Buqi had a guard to follow, but Tang Buqi waved him away: "What are you doing here? King Shura is in front of you. Lord Xuanwu is here, and there are still assassins who can kill him." Me?"

The guard hesitated to speak, you also know that there is Xuanwu here... I am afraid that it is Xuanwu who will kill you...

But Tang Buqi seemed to have great authority now, and the guards did not dare to say anything and retreated outside the door.

The roadside wine shop soon left an empty hall. The shopkeeper ran away quickly after bringing the wine and food. It always felt like there was some vortex aura here that could squeeze people into a pulp.

Until everything was quiet and only four people were left sitting on the square table, Tang Buqi took the wine flask and refilled the wine for the three of them. He shook his head while pouring the wine: "I don't know what you are nervous about. That look in your eyes is like the one you saw at the beginning." Like Chili, full of wariness and distrust. When did you and I have this kind of relationship? Is it something you can’t understand that I don’t want to sacrifice my life for Xia Longyuan? Is it true that you support the Four Symbols Sect and Li Shentong? Is it fake? I thought you would support me, my aunt is the only one who is loyal."

Zhao Changhe said: "That's it?"

Tang Buqi was confused: "Otherwise, what else would there be?"

Zhao Changhe knocked his head and let out a long sigh.

It seemed that he was stupid. Tang Buqi didn't know that there might be something wrong with the evening makeup caused by the qi-gazing technique. How could he have thought that something was going to happen to his aunt? He was clearly still in the stage of asking for support, that is, now that he had strong wings and dared to argue a few words and say that his aunt was stupid and loyal, that was the so-called "quarrel".

This technique cannot be learned, it will cause confusion.

Seeing that Zhao Changhe seemed to look better, Tang Buqi also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "To be honest, the whole Jiangnan thinks that we will separatist rule, and everyone on the road knows about the so-called lack of Qi. Seeing you enter the city, The atmosphere is of course solemn. Do you know what your status is in people’s minds now? That’s a legend!”

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Do you know the value of God Killer?" Tang Buqi said: "I won't fight with you, just say whether you support it or not. If you don't support it, I will give up... Don't get me wrong, it's not me. I respect you because if you don’t support me, I won’t be able to do it.”

Zhao Changhe sipped his wine and said lightly: "I don't support it."

Tang Buqi was stunned: "Why? Don't tell me that you are also a loyal minister."

"Because Jiangnan is a separatist territory, and there are huge thunders buried under the ground in Gusu. I think you have been here for a long time and have forgotten why your family moved to the capital."

"..." Tang Buqi straightened his eyes, he really forgot.

After a long while, Qiqi Ai Ai said: "If, if you can solve it..."

"Am I your father?"

"What if it's your country? Do you want to solve it?"

"If it were my kingdom, would you still have any dissatisfaction?"

Tang Buqi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "If it were you, I wouldn't dare."

Dare not... Zhao Changhe chewed on this word for a long time: "How dare you, Xia Longyuan? He can kill you with just one finger."

"When there are so many forces in the world, he has not raised his finger to suppress them, so it is destined to happen. People may not have ambitions, and ambitions need soil to grow. If we say who has the greatest responsibility for today's chaos, it must be It's Xia Longyuan himself." Tang Buqi looked at Zhao Changhe seriously: "If it were you, I also hope you can remember this. Whatever you rely on to maintain your kindness, righteousness, and legality are all empty. There is only one in the world. Tang Wanzhuang."
