Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 5: The way of the world
On the way out of Zhao Mansion, Zhang Tianliu kept looking around.
Tang Jingcheng, who was always paying attention to him, frowned slightly and whispered: "Be honest."
Zhang Tianliu smiled and stopped watching.
Only Zhao Yongdang saw him off along the way. He said that his daughter was really reluctant to leave her, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but chase after Tang Captou when he saw him leaving.
In Zhang Tianliu's opinion, acting is a tiring job, understandable.
"It's a small thought, but it's not respectful. If Brother Tang comes to Lianshan again, he will definitely stay in my house for a while, so that Zhao can repay his gratitude."
"Definitely meeting." Tang Jing accepted the brocade bag and said goodbye, turned around, patted Zhang Tianliu and shouted: "Let's go."
Zhang Tianliu staggered a few steps, raised his hands high and put them behind his head, and said as he walked: "People like you were poisoned by TV dramas. You just leave. No matter what you film, if you don't film, I won't leave? Don't follow me. You are the one who is not aware of it. Just because you saw the brave side of the police on TV when you were a child, you think the police are just, but in fact they are just dogs in front of the law, wow."
Tang Jingcheng ignored it and calmly followed Zhang Tianliu towards the main road.
As soon as the two of them got on the main road, Zhang Tianliu glanced at it and walked towards a beast cart not far away. He opened his mouth and said: "Master driver, can you take us to the inn in Shengjing? We are not short of money." ”
"Go, go, go, even if you don't recognize the elegance of this car, can't you recognize the family crest on the car? This is the Lu family's car. My master is meeting friends upstairs..."
Before the coachman finished speaking, Zhang Tianliu curled his lips and said: "The family emblem is such a backward thing that only the barbarians still use it. If you want to prove yourself, a surname is enough. Officer Laitang told him, we Zhang There are several times more families than the Lu family.”
Tang Jingcheng naturally remained silent, but the driver was annoyed and waved his hand: "Where are you from, a mountain villager? Get lost."
Zhang Tianliu said angrily: "Shanye! I think you don't even know where Shengjing is."
"Hey, you are still not convinced, boy. Let me tell you, my young master is practicing in the Holy Capital. Last year, I sent him all the way north. The beautiful scenery he saw in the cities he passed was beyond your imagination. The magnificence of Haoshan Mountain, Puhu Lake The three delicacies, the beauties of Jiu Ge, tsk tsk..."
The driver's face was full of aftertaste, and he kept describing vividly. Finally, he glanced at Zhang Tianliu with a contemptuous smile and said, "How can you kid understand this?"
Zhang Tianliu smiled, turned around and walked away under the astonished gaze of the coachman.
Tang Jingcheng followed closely. The main reason why he did not interrupt Zhang Tianliu this time was to find out the location of the Holy Capital.
If they were monitored by the Zhao family, Zhang Tianliu's method would be very effective. In Tang Jingcheng's eyes, this guy was a genius in counter-reconnaissance. He could live freely in a world full of surveillance for six years, and it would be easy for him to get rid of just the eyes and ears.
Tang Jingcheng always felt that Zhang Tianliu's actions were not random, but part of a careful plan!
He specializes in choosing exquisite beast carts. The older cart driver believes that the cart driver has been to many places and has far more knowledge than ordinary cart drivers. He is often a servant of such a wealthy family, and his favorite thing is to brag to ordinary people. Talk about things that ordinary people have never seen, describe food that ordinary people have never eaten and beauties that cannot be described, so as to gain the envy of others and comfort a heart that relies on others.
Tang Jingcheng never considered all of this when he started to focus on Zhang Tianliu. When he first arrived, he just thought of it as a simple pursuit. If he found the person, he would rush over and arrest him and that would be it.
But it took him six years to catch him. It is undeniable that he learned a lot from Zhang Tianliu through his failures one after another!
We finally took a plane with him, but before he could arrest him, the plane deviated from the track and entered this strange world, almost making Tang Jingcheng lose himself.
It was Zhang Tianliu who made him realize that his mission was not over.
"Twenty years, up to twenty years for honesty. If you behave well, I can reduce your sentence." Tang Jingcheng said suddenly.
Zhang Tianliu paused, looked back, and said calmly: "Officer Tang, you are the first person I admire. There were three other police officers on the plane. Their departure without saying goodbye did not waver you. You must always complete your mission." Mission, responsibility, people like you should not just be a policeman, you should go further and higher. Unfortunately, people like you are destined not to have such a path, because you can't pass your level.
Tang Jingcheng actually smiled and said calmly: "What you call lofty is because you think that if you stand low, it will appear out of reach and full of temptation. Your hatred of rich people once proved this point. So you went astray. Did you ever regret it when you felt that you were just rich?"
Zhang Tianliu also laughed.
"You can't see what I see, but I may not be able to see what you see. You will never give up, and I will never compromise."
The two of them walked on the road one after another. Zhang Tianliu would talk to people from time to time and get a lot of information.
Lianshan City has three gates. One side is from the direction they came from, facing the west gate of Quelong Mountain Range, which is also the place leading to the crash.
At that time, Zhang Tianliu was also escaping in the west, but he didn't know when he would reach Xiguan, the pilgrimage country.
The other two gates lead to the northeast and the southeast. The northeast is a vast land, which is also the hinterland of the pilgrimage country. The southeast is mountains and ridges, with many rare birds and animals inside. As for what is on the other side of the mountain? This is a world that no one knows about.
"Missed?" Zhao Anxiao frowned.
The Zhao family steward said cautiously: "Yes, miss, they suddenly disappeared in the north of the city."
"Did you come into contact with anyone along the way?" Zhao Anxiao asked again.
The steward hurriedly replied: "Yes, but there are too many. Porters, horsemen, storekeepers, waiters, etc., most of them are ordinary people. If there is any doubt, the only one is the Lu family coachman."
"The Lu family!" Zhao Anxiao felt bad.
The Lu family is a wealthy family in Luxi County with a history of thousands of years. However, Lianshan City was only established a hundred years ago and it was only incorporated into Luxi County thirty years ago. In the eyes of the Lu family, this is a barbarian land and they should not bother to come here. .
Zhao Anxiao thought for a moment and said to the steward: "Send more people to the north of the city. I will keep an eye on all the streets and alleys. As soon as they appear, they will notify me as soon as possible."
She didn't send anyone to follow them because the Zhao family's spies were all over Lianshan City. As long as Zhang and Tang didn't leave the city, they would be back under her nose sooner or later.
Mrs. Zhao walked into the hall, sat upright with her skirts stroking and said: "The two of them are dressed in weird clothes and have short hair. They are unforgettable wherever they go. They disappear! I'm afraid they are too distinct. Who can think of them when they suddenly become ordinary?" Can you pay attention?"
Zhao Anxiao revealed immediately: "Mother said they are planning to disguise themselves!"
To describe the person you want to pay attention to, you naturally choose characteristics to describe, look for Shuyuan wwww. zhaoshuyuan.com Tang Jingcheng and Zhang Tianliu's hair and clothing are two bright lights in this world. Previously, Zhao Anxiao used this to remind his subordinates that it was definitely good, but now it seems that he is still young.
Zhao Anxiao thought again and said: "Eagle dogs have always been domineering and don't bother to pretend. Is Tang Jingcheng's identity fake?"
Mrs. Zhao sipped her tea and said, "If you're not afraid of fake things, you're just afraid of the truth."
"My daughter made a mistake and wanted to keep him under our surveillance. If he is true, he will definitely be suspicious and will keep an eye on our Zhao family."
"The mountains are going to be in chaos, hurry up and get ready." Mrs. Zhao stood up and left after saying that.
At night, in the dimly lit Zhao Mansion, Zhao Yongdang sat under the moonlight, drinking rice wine. The more drunk he became, the more upset he became. Scenes from the past kept lingering in his mind, and before he knew it, he had tears streaming down his face.
"The master is regretting it again." Mrs. Zhao came over and sat next to Zhao Yongdang.
"I don't regret it. If I hadn't come to this point, how could the Zhao family prosper today? I'm afraid everything would have ended in the catastrophe."
Seeing that her husband wanted to drink again, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly took the jug and said, "As a chess piece, you have to know your destiny. One life of glory cannot buy a life of peace, but how can there be true peace in the world? Our clan has gone through thousands of years, and although there are often civil strife, It's just a small fight. A fight between my own brothers will leave no bones or limbs injured. When the Human Emperor comes, the once million people are now less than one in ten thousand. If you don't rely on the county governor, you will be the alien bastard. You will be burned at the stake. We are all human beings, and my wife is really becoming more and more incomprehensible to me!"
Zhao Yongdang looked at the bright moon longingly, took Mrs. Zhao's hand and folded it between his palms, and replied quietly: "I know your heart, how can you give away the foundation you have built with great difficulty? Leave, I'll wait and see what happens with you."
