Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 878: The wind rises

Chapter 878 The Wind Rises

As Tang Wanzhuang entered the hall, the originally noisy hall fell silent for an instant, and many people held their breath.

It’s not the oppression caused by status, it’s the appearance.

She is so beautiful.

It’s almost like Wu Yue’s beautiful mountains and rivers come together into one body. It seems that as long as she stands there, she represents Jiangnan.

It used to be a plus for her to have a sickly temperament. Although she is no longer sickly and frail now, her grace is still as beautiful as ever and her charm has not diminished. Coupled with the fact that he has been in power for thirty years, his majestic demeanor is truly breathtaking.

That eternal face seems to be God saying that this kind of good fortune should not pass away, and ordinary people do not need to be jealous. It is God who does not allow her to see her hair grow old.

The uniform greetings from the young people came from the hall, breaking the silence: "My great-nephew says hello to my aunt."

Guests: "..."

The mountains and rivers of Wuyue suddenly collapsed and turned into bamboo fences in the countryside, where chickens and dogs heard each other.

Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful eyes rested on Zhao Changhe for a short moment, then turned a few times on Baoqin's bun, and responded softly: "There is no need to be polite. Baoqin, this is the husband you are looking for. Son-in-law?"

She smiled like a dog and didn't answer.

"It's still early, let's talk about the dinner later. Let's not wait for the guests first, take the piano and accompany me back to the old house for a chat, and take your husband with you."

"Yes."

Tang Wanzhuang went out as soon as he entered, and Zhao Changhe followed behind silently. Ling Ruoyu subconsciously reached out her hand. She also wanted to meet her beloved Prime Minister Tang, but she didn't know where to stand.

If Queque did not lie, then the beloved prime minister might be a love rival with his master.

Tang Buqi coughed dryly, sat back down and spoke in a majestic tone: "Little girl, is that a dragon bird you are holding in your arms?"

Ling Ruoyu woke up and could only answer: "Yes, junior Ling Ruoyu will protect the sword and go south, and deliver the holy sword to Wu Hou. I hope Wu Hou will organize people to **** him back to Beijing."

There was a slight noise in the hall: "She is Ling Ruoyu! She is so young."

"The book of troubled times is flashing in a day, and at the age of sixteen, he has reached the top of the list of eighteen people. There is no one in the younger generation today who can surpass him."

"Even if the Sunset Divine Sword reappears in the world, I should be ashamed of it."

Ling Ruoyu: "..."

Stop talking, I'm afraid of getting beaten when I go back.

Tang Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth. Most people didn't know that Ling Ruoyu was Yue Hongling's apprentice, and he, Tang Buqi, didn't know either, but he just needed to know who was with Ling Ruoyu just now. The real master is with you and you want to hand over this broken knife to me?

The guy surnamed Zhao is really having fun now. Is this some new type of trick to pick up girls?

Tang Buqi calmed down and said seriously: "Young people should not give up halfway when doing things. You have protected this sword for so long, and you should continue to bring it to the capital. It is not the swordsman's fault to leave it to outsiders."

Ling Ruoyu opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong with his words. The reason why I went south to protect my sword was to give it to you. Otherwise, why would I go south?

If Tang Buqi had made such a statement yesterday, Ling Ruoyu would have dropped the knife and turned around and left. Anyway, it was none of my business once the knife was delivered. But today, I feel a little relieved. Before I walked in, I was still thinking that I didn't want to give him the knife, but in the end, Wu Hou really didn't want it... As expected of a respected senior, he was considerate.

It’s really strange, why can’t she let go of that broken knife with such a nasty and stinky temperament... Well, it must be so that she can take it with her to see the galaxy.

The girl was sitting in the corner holding the dragon bird in confusion, watching the guests congratulating one after another and giving gifts. Her thoughts were a little distant and she didn't know where she was going.

Kenshin seemed to instinctively sense that there were malicious glances from the crowd of guests. The girl suddenly raised her head and looked around, but she couldn't find him.

"Quieque, do you feel any malicious intent?"

"Yes, I am the most sensitive to this. I shared the responsibility with the alliance back then..."

"Okay, okay, don't be so stupid about your past. Do you know which one it is? Wu Hou's birthday banquet is crowded with heroes, but some people dare to covet you..."

"It's not just one, it's many."

Ling Ruoyu was horrified and stood up: "I must inform Marquis Wu about this."

"Did Tang Bucry let you get close? You run over now, don't get caught as an assassin first."

Ling Ruoyu turned to look in the direction of Tang Buqi. There was a young man bending down and saying to Tang Buqi: "That Miss Ling is so beautiful and powerful, I want to..."

With a "pop" sound, Tang Buqi slapped his son and spun him around: "That **** is either your aunt, or your aunt!"

Son: "???"

Ling Ruoyu didn't hear clearly what was said there, and shuddered when she saw Wu Hou beating his son.

He is indeed the legendary majestic and solemn person, so fierce.

Tang Buqi was holding his forehead: "Why do you feel that my birthday will be very tragic... Please go and check the guards of the Hou Mansion and check if there are any special circumstances."

"My aunt and grandma are here, who else dares to cause trouble?"

"Just because she came here looking for nothing, it means someone is causing trouble." Tang Buqi lectured his son: "Otherwise, do you think she can really come all the way for my birthday banquet, and the majestic Prime Minister has nothing to do? But? Having said that, if something happens to them here, it will be fine. The reason why we have done enough homework is to avoid being embarrassed and have our aunt wipe our butts when we are old. Do we want your father and me to jump into the river?"

Tang Buqi still had something left in his stomach. Of course, his aunt might not necessarily be here for something. She could just be here to find a man. But wherever that man is, nothing good ever happens.

Thinking of the young man who was as youthful as ever in those green years, the past of singing and drinking while riding horses in the rivers and lakes flashed through his mind. Tang Buqi sat there in a daze, and the birthday congratulations of the guests in front of him became very distant and could not be heard clearly. .

"I didn't expect you to be here." In the waterside pavilion where Tang Wanzhuang once lived, Tang Wanzhuang made tea with bare hands and sat opposite Zhao Changhe with a calm voice. Holding the piano and standing aside, it's like playing back a cassette tape, flashing back to the past.

The cicadas are still chirping in the flowing water as before, but what has changed is that the little maid holding the piano has combed her hair into a bun, and the moss marks at the foot of the bamboo building confirm the mottled traces of time.

"So you came here for the galaxy?"

"Yes, it's Buqi's birthday, and I wanted to come and see my family...but I didn't expect to see you." Tang Wanzhuang glanced at Baoqin with her beautiful eyes, half-smiling: "I've grown my skills, so I won't send any messages. , just to steal food?”

Baoqin apologized: "Baoqin knew that the lady would come this time and there was no need to send a message, so I stole the day."

How could Tang Wanzhuang really blame her? She felt soft in her heart, as if saying to herself: "It's pretty good..."

Baoqin sniffed: "Miss..."

"Okay, now you are the chief minister of my prime minister's office and my right-hand man."

"That won't work. Without me, who will help the lady carry the piano?"

"Give me the piano."

Handing over the qin, Tang Wanzhuang placed it on the table, reached out and stroked a string of clear sounds, then raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Changhe: "What music do you want to listen to?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Whatever you want, as long as you play, I will listen."

The sound of the piano sounds like mountains and flowing water, only telling the story of a close friend.

Zhao Changhe sipped tea and listened to the music quietly. Looking at Tang Wanzhuang's soft and smiling expression, he felt that tea was more intoxicating than wine.

After meeting evening makeup, it can be said that I have changed the most. On the outside, he has restrained his recklessness, but in fact, he has seen the country from a corner of the rivers and lakes, and has reached the world.

Wanzhuang himself has also gone from the Demon Suppression Division that suppresses the world's demons to the more extensive government affairs of the government and the opposition. Even when Xia Chichi was "camping in person", Wanzhuang had been presiding over the stability of the political situation between the government and the opposition, putting away all his sharp edges and just being the woman behind the scenes.

After being overtaken by Huangfu Qingxu, who had been fighting for her whole life, she stopped chasing him.

Those are meaningless... For the rest of my life, I will only live for you.

Cooking tea with her husband playing the piano in the backyard may be the picture that Tang Wanzhuang looks forward to the most.

"Zheng", Tang Wanzhuang stretched out her hand to press the strings, and the lingering sound lingered with the fragrance of tea.

"If I can't wait for such Qincha in thirty years, can I do it in the future?" Tang Wanzhuang asked.

Zhao Changhe said: "Soon."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly, stood up, and walked to the waterside pavilion window to look at the scenery.

Zhao Changhe also stood beside him. No matter how noisy the main hall in the distance was, this place was just a garden outside the world, with a stream of water and a field of flowers.

Tang Wanzhuang looked at the bees running around among the flowers and said casually: "Come for a walk with me?"

"Yeah."

The two walked side by side among the flowers, but did not speak for a long time.

Is it a wonderful expectation to visit the park quietly side by side, or is it because it has been so long that I can't find the topic?

Zhao Changhe didn't look for a topic, but just stretched out his hand to hold Tang Wanzhuang's hand. His delicate hands were still as smooth as grease, but they were no longer as cold as before. After holding each other gently for a long time, each other could feel the warmth transmitted by the other, and the hearts that had been silent for a long time began to beat together rhythmically.

"After so many years of quietness and all my energy devoted to managing the country, I thought I would soon forget you." After a long time, Tang Wanzhuang said in a low voice: "But once we meet, the memory will disappear quickly. Climb full and occupy the hearts of the people. ”

Zhao Changhe remained silent and did not apologize again. These words have been said too much recently, and what they want is not an apology, but a longer-term future.

"When I saw me before, I could not wait to be frivolous. I just liked to see the shy and shy look of Wanzhuang with her hairpin on her temples. Why are you such a gentleman today?" Tang Wanzhuang glanced at him and said with a smile, "Yes. We, King Zhao, also feel guilty, sorry?”

Zhao Changhe said: "How can we only think about that kind of thing after meeting for so long... What do we think of you..."

"But I want to." Tang Wanzhuang said calmly.

Zhao Changhe paused, Tang Wanzhuang turned around, hugged his waist with force, and buried her head in his arms.

The handcuffs were so hard that even Zhao Changhe's body felt the pressure. Only then did he know what a turbulent torrent was hidden under the calmness of playing the piano and cooking tea.

"I was a little afraid before..." Tang Wanzhuang buried her head in his arms and whispered softly: "Although I know that it is just a matter of time for you to wake up, I always wonder whether you will be ruthless in thirty years. No matter what. Will you wake up and find that we are all sixty years old and old women? It sounds scary and unpleasant, and a young man about your age is calling grandma... Will you just shrink away from it? In the hall, I can’t wait to shut the mouths of those bastards.”

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Changhe kissed her and blocked her mouth first.

Tang Wanzhuang swallowed everything she said and opened her teeth submissively to meet his fierce kiss.

The lips parted for a long time, Zhao Changhe gasped slightly and whispered: "This is the punishment for doubting me."

"Well..." Tang Wanzhuang leaned softly into his arms: "Actually, when I saw Baoqin's bun, I felt very happy... You don't dislike Baoqin, and of course you don't dislike us either. ”

Zhao Changhe said: "Not to mention that you are still as beautiful as before, even if your hair is really gray, I am willing to stay with you, playing the piano and making tea together."

"Really?"

"Really. It's really unfair not to tell me... But I think it's good for him to do that... I also want to have a family full of children and grandchildren. How many do you want to give me?"

Tang Wanzhuang's face glowed: "I just want a son and a daughter."

"Then one son and one daughter."

Tang Wanzhuang regained her sense of joy as a girl. She took his hand and walked to the river to sit. She leaned her head on his shoulder and looked at the water together without saying a word.

It seems that he is already planning in his heart, if there is any breakthrough today, he will come soon, and after the fight, he and his husband will go to bed and make a baby. But will others come tonight...

Hey... Actually, it's still early now. Is it possible to take advantage of the opportunity... Or maybe I will look too hungry, lose my grace, and be laughed at?

Tang Wanzhuang gave Baoqin a vicious look at Baoqin who was hiding in the waterside pavilion and peeking.

Bao Qin: "?"

What happened to me? Didn’t you say that you were quite happy that I stole away and ate you? I'm hiding in the pavilion and won't bother you anymore. How can there be such a sensible maid like me...

Tang Wanzhuang thought about it silently for a while, but still couldn't ask for **** at this time. In fact, she actually enjoyed the feeling of sitting quietly by the stream with him leaning on her shoulders, so she gave up that thought and turned around. But when it comes to business: "We have never met you, and we haven't asked you what the results of that arrow were. They just acted based on analysis. I don't know if it is right."

Zhao Changhe said casually: "Ye Wuming has gone through two eras to wipe out all the ancient demons born by Heaven, and minimize the influence of Heaven on this world. If her last fatal blow succeeds, she will be with The way of heaven dies, and the so-called will of heaven is left alone, and can no longer interfere with anything, including the presentation of the book of troubled times, which can only be passive, and this world will be free. But if it fails, the law she represents will be controlled by the way of heaven again and be transformed. In today's various demonic energies, the three thousand demon gods of the early years were reborn. Those things were originally created by heaven, and they can definitely create another round."

"Yeah."

"My arrow shot over. Ye Wuming was not a cerebral palsy, so he naturally canceled his original skills and instead cooperated with my arrow attack. The way of heaven was attacked by this attack, and he was injured and escaped far away. Ye Wuming used the heavenly book to isolate this world, but Let Tiandao take advantage of the loophole. So the current situation is actually very simple. It's just that the two sides have rested and recovered. After the injury is healed, I have repaired and made up for the flaws. It's time to restart the decisive battle."

"It's really simple, and it's exactly what we guessed." Tang Wanzhuang said: "Fortresses are always breached from the inside. Tiandao is trying to mobilize the 'demon energy' still lurking inside to get the galaxy, from the inside Break through this realm. And we also want to take this opportunity to wipe out the remaining demonic energy and eliminate internal worries. At the same time, we can also use this demonic energy to trace the location of Heavenly Dao, and then we will see how to counterattack. The battle is not complicated at all. Now that Tian Dao doesn’t know that you are awake, we have an advantage.”

"But if we don't reach an agreement with Ye Wuming, we can't counterattack. No matter how much you think of her, these things can never be avoided by Ye Wuming."

"We don't have much opinion about her. We don't even know her. The only ones who have opinions are Jiuyou and Piaomiao." Tang Wanzhuang said leisurely: "But from the perspective of power, His Majesty should also conquer Ye Palace."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment before he realized that "Your Majesty" refers to himself. In Wan Zhuang's heart, the emperor was always Zhao Changhe, and Xia Chichi was just an escrow. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Seeing his smile, Tang Wanzhuang also smiled: "Anyway, you are the Night Emperor now, and the Night Palace was originally yours. Even Ye Wuming himself said that he wanted you to be the Emperor of Heaven and live in the Night Palace. I think you can come to the door openly. She wants a house. If she doesn’t move out, she will become a concubine in it.”

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her.

Tang Wanzhuang finally had a slight blush on her face: "What's the matter? Taking a concubine for your husband, isn't it good to gain a reputation for not being jealous?"

"It's nothing." Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "But I think if someone is peeping, she will be furious right now."

"What's the matter, she just bullied Ruoyu, but she also wants to bully us?" The moment she saw Zhao Changhe, Tang Wanzhuang guessed that the deeds of Ling Ruoyu written in the previous troubled times were caused by Nameless Ye. A child.

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "How much do you know about Ruoyu's situation?"

Tang Wanzhuang said: "You know, Hong Ling likes to be alone in the world of knights, and has little contact with everyone. No one knows when he took this apprentice, and they have never seen him. He just last year After being released to practice, the little girl did not reveal to the outside world that her master was Yue Hongling. It was not easy to work her way up to the world on her own. During this period, both Yangyang and Baoqin came into contact with her, and she received a lot of praise."

"That's it?" Zhao Changhe asked: "Is there anything special?"

“I don’t know if there is something special or not... Ever since she appeared in the world last year, news of the looming Galaxy began to spread in various places. However, since the rumored location does not correspond to her behavior, normal analysis I still think it’s a coincidence.”

Zhao Changhe nodded slightly and was about to say something when Tang Wanzhuang's accompanying bodyguard suddenly came to report from outside the hospital: "Prime Minister, it is said that Tiger Hill is in turmoil, the sword spirit appears in the void, and Wu Hou has led the crowd to rush there."
