The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 229 Betting

  Wei Zi was very surprised: "Honored envoy, you don't know about this?"

  Zhao Changhe pointed to his mask: "See what it is?"

"pig."

   "That's right, I don't know what's weird?"

   "Pfft..." Wei Zi didn't react much, and Suzaku behind him smiled and bent over.

Wei Zicai's expression also twitched, and it took him a long time to say: "The envoy can really joke... Well, I don't know about this, I must have just joined the job not long ago? In fact, this matter is not too complicated. First of all, His Majesty does not want to monopolize all the ancient secrets. Let everyone Take your chances..."

  Zhao Changhe raised his hand: "I know about this, Your Majesty has done this with a broad mind."

   Suzaku glanced at him with a half-smile.

  Ordinary people would indeed come to the judgment that Xia Longyuan is broad-minded, but Suzaku disagrees. She prefers to think that this is a kind of testing ground for Xia Longyuan, where all parties can punch out the dog's brains for an ancient secret.

  In Suzaku's eyes, Xia Longyuan's own operations accounted for most of the troubled times.

   Otherwise, if he marries the White Tiger Saintess and stabilizes the Four Elephant Sect, at least the Four Elephant Sect may not be reversed along the way, and can be used as an important help. But his operation completely ruined this matter, and a sect that could be used as a help was forced to become a demon sect that only wanted to mess up the world. What disgusted Suzaku the most was that they knew that this was probably what Xia Longyuan wanted, but they would still do it.

Wei Zi hesitated for a moment, and replied: "There are many strong people or sects who don't care about other things, they only care about exploring the secrets of the ancient times. Similar to the ancient sword lake, there are rumors of ancient secret places, and there are often many forces. Constantly searching around the surroundings, it happens that they restrain each other, and no one can dominate. Many years ago, many battles broke out by the ancient sword lake, and even the Tianbang people participated in it."

  Zhao Changhe got a judgment similar to Suzaku this time, so it seems that Xia Longyuan is using these ancient secret places to instigate chaos among all parties: "Then what?"

"The parties are fighting in a mess, but they don't even know if there is anything in the ancient sword lake. It seems very stupid. Then there are talks between all parties, and finally it is agreed that they will not be stationed in person, such as the Cui family or the Four Elephants. In that way, we will check every now and then, whoever finds it counts, and will not interfere with each other. But everyone is worried that others will come to secretly book the venue, so they all support subordinate gangs to watch in nearby towns, and a situation of mixed forces is formed. Our town magician just inserted some spies to pay attention to the changes here, and the special situation of Jianhu City was born. In fact, there are still many similar places in the world, and Jianhu City is a more typical one."

  Zhao Changhe scratched his head and saw leopards. There are probably countless "Sword Lake Cities" in the world, which are outside the conventional court rule and where gangs are entrenched.

  Forget it in normal times, once it comes to troubled times, these places may evolve into a kind of separatist land, and the messy "city lords" may spring up everywhere like mushrooms after rain and become local overlords.

Sure enough, Wei Zi continued: "After years of evolution, these forces probably don't care about what's in the lake. Back then we knew that the Four Elephants Sect took away the things in the lake, but the forces in the city didn't necessarily know about it. It can be seen that they have deviated from it a long time ago. The original intention of stationing here. On the contrary, it is to divide the territory one by one and compete for interests, especially now that the troubled times are approaching, the gang dispute over who has the final say in this city is becoming more and more obvious. With the Tianyi Gang being incorporated by the Pinghu Society, Pinghu The formation of Yan Lianping dominating the city has already begun to take shape, and now we are waiting for a reply from the first seat, should we evacuate?"

  Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "Two questions. What strength is Yan Lianping, and what is the force behind him?"

   "Yan Lianping Xuanguan Yae..."

   "Then he needs to cooperate with others to fight Han Wubing?"

   "Because Han Wubing has also reached the seventh level of the profound entrance, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. If he really fights alone, Yan Lianping may really not be able to beat him."

   "Grass, why is this guy faster than me... and then? Who is the force behind Yan Lianping?"

   Wei Zi was a little embarrassed: "That...we don't know what power is behind him."

  Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Isn't it? Logically, shouldn't this kind of thing be counted long ago?"

Wei Zicai coughed dryly: "Theoretically, the Pinghu Society should belong to the Sixiang sect, but we found that the last time the White Tiger Saintess came here, we didn't have any contact with them. There are two reasons for not contacting them. One is that the White Tiger Saintess We feel that the Pinghu Society has been watched by us, and she doesn’t want to be exposed to our sight, so she deliberately doesn’t get in touch with the Pinghu Society. The second is that the Pinghu Society may have become incompatible with the Four Elephant Sect, and the White Tiger Maiden doesn’t trust them.”

  Zhao Changhe glanced at Suzaku, unable to see his expression because of the pig's face.

This matter is very fun, going around and getting involved with the young lady around me, including the previous rumors, and also getting involved with Zhao Changhe, it is no longer a matter of Han Wubing alone .

  This time came by coincidence.

  Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then asked: "Why do you have the second suspicion? What will Pinghu do to make you think so?"

"Helei, the wild lion, was injured and left Mount Tai. Passing through this place, he lived quietly in Pinghu Society to recuperate. We think that Pinghu Society may have an affair with the barbarians. We just don't know if the Four Elephants Sect knows about this situation, and we don't know what the Four Elephants Sect has to say about it. Hu people's attitude is not easy to analyze."

   "Understood." Zhao Changhe felt a lot more relaxed, and patted Wei Zicai's shoulder with a smile: "Yes, the information is complete and well organized. I will talk to the chief seat later."

   Wei Zi showed joy: "Thank you for your support."

"last question."

   "Sir, please speak."

   "Where did Han Wubing find out where others spread Zhao Changhe's words?"

   "Kangle Casino, Han Wubing was passing by, and heard someone say this loudly in the casino."

   "Who is the Kangle Casino?"

   Wei Zi showed a strange expression: "The subordinates didn't find out."

  Zhao Changhe stared at him for a long time, then smiled suddenly: "It's okay, no one can know everything, just work harder in the future."

   Wei Zi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Respectfully send the special envoy."

  Leaving Wanhualou, Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look at Zhulou, thoughtful.

   Suzaku wondered, "What are you thinking?"

"According to the theory that each family assigns subordinates to station here, it is impossible not to know who is behind the Kangle Casino. Ask, why do you need to hide it from me?"

   Suzaku said leisurely: "Kangle Casino came later, not the original ones. It's not surprising that they couldn't be found out, but if there is no guess, it shouldn't be. Our holy religion guesses that it should be the person from Ying Wu."

  Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat: "Eighth on the list!"

   "Not bad... But it doesn't sound like they have anything to do with it, does it?"

   "What do you think about the Pinghu meeting?"

"Yan Lianping is Wei Yueyan from twenty-eight nights. I didn't contact him at that time because I didn't want to reveal that he was one of us. I didn't expect Zhenmasi to know him..." Suzaku said, his tone was a little cold: "We should I don't know that he actually has contact with the barbarians, Zhenmensi helped a lot."

  Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Is there a traitor?"

   Suzaku's tone relaxed again: "Who doesn't have a few traitors? It's good to find out early. But this matter can't be taken as the truth just by Zhenmasi's words. I still need to investigate one or two times."

  Zhao Changhe asked: "What do you think?"

   "You and I will work separately. I will look for Yan Lianping openly and aboveboard. Why do you want to go? I will quietly go to the inn to find you tonight."

   Suzaku said, and suddenly smiled: "It's an odd number. Originally, I just wanted to get in touch with you more, and protect you from being killed by the Wang family. Unexpectedly, the matter was related to myself, and it turned out to be cooperation between you and me."

  Zhao Changhe laughed: "This is the favor that the heavens don't want me to owe to the Four Elephant Sect... Maybe on the contrary, if this matter goes wrong, you have to accept my favor."

   "Cut." Suzaku sneered: "Just you? The little man at the sixth level of the entrance? Or do you want the clues from Zhenmensi to be your favor?"

  Zhao Changhe snorted and said, "Then let's take a gamble? If you help me more, I will call you good sister in the future."

  Suzaku's beautiful eyes turned around, and he smiled lightly and said, "If I lose, will you be my brother?"

   "If you lose, can you take off your mask in front of me in the future?"

   Push a copy of "The Savior is busy forking"

   An awkward book that only others can’t see why they complain, but nothing else
