The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 249 Walking in the Rain

  Tang Wanzhuang stepped on the water and Lingbo, floating straight into the balcony.

  During the torrential rain, her body was so foggy that not even a speck of water was stained. The water mist scattered around her, like a fairy driving the mist, with fluttering ribbons, so beautiful.

   Suzaku's teeth itch, and he has to admit that this stinky woman is really beautiful.

  Thinking of the swarming crowd of teenagers of the same age, what kind of Huangfu loves to crown the capital, there are more flies around you, okay?

  Do men just eat fairies?

  It's a pity that almost all the men of the same generation are useless, why didn't any of them take her to the bridal chamber?

  Looking at the current rankings of heaven and earth, none of the men ranked similarly before and after the two of them is not middle-aged, and they are not of the same generation at all. No one of the same generation is better than them at all... The two are secretly competing with each other, who wants to make friends with a weak person first, or find an older generation and be laughed at by the other party for the rest of their lives?

   After so many years of tossing, both of them are single. I don’t know how much it is because they are too proud, and how much they are fighting with each other...

  But for the sake of a big event, I still lost a bit first. Entering the palace to be a concubine, no matter how it is just a name, I am afraid that Tang Wanzhuang's heart is numb from laughter...

With these thoughts in mind, Tang Wanzhuang had already stepped onto the balcony, quickly interposed between Huangfuqing and Zhao Changhe, and hurriedly said: "Don't think that she can have any political cooperation just because she is a noble concubine, this woman can't possibly marry the emperor, There must be a conspiracy! Come back with me!"

  At this moment, Huangfu Qing didn't know what mood she was in.

  There was a slight smile on his face: "Heh... who is he to you, what do you mean go back with you?"

  Facing Huangfu Qing, Tang Wanzhuang's expression became very calm: "He is a good friend, a guest of this seat."

   "You are the inheritor of Bibo Qingyi and Treading Water Lingbo." Huangfuqing continued for her: "Tang Chief has a lot of plans. To be the emperor's teacher? Or the queen?"

  Tang Wanzhuang was expressionless: "No matter what it is, it is better than some people who are still cuddling and flirting here as a married woman. Huangfuqing, do you want to show your face?"

   "What's there to pretend." Huangfu said affectionately: "I don't believe you can't guess that I am a demon girl from the Four Elephants Sect. Have you ever told me, little man like you?"

  Tang Wanzhuang was startled, she really didn't tell Zhao Changhe this.

  Because she always felt that Zhao Changhe would get closer when she heard that it was the Four Elephants Sect. She didn't want Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing to get closer.

   It's not because she's jealous, but because she always feels that Huangfuqing is surrounded by incomprehensible mysteries, and the things involved will be very heavy, at least not something the current Zhao Changhe can bear.

   How courageous are you to get close to her and even kiss her!

Seeing that she seemed to be in the wrong, Huangfu smiled even more happily: "The Holy Cult wants to recruit Zhao Changhe. If the saint is not suitable, then I will come. Anyway, I am married, and I am not as hypocritical as some people. There are You can do it too!"

  Zhao Changhe: "..."

  Tang Wanzhuang couldn't be more shameless than a demon girl, so she simply ignored Huangfu's feelings, glaring at Zhao Changhe and said, "Does her identity make you more exciting? Do you want to die?"

  Huangfuqing sneered: "Why, you still dare to openly invite a man to stay overnight? You have saved face for a lifetime, now you don't want it?"

  Tang Wanzhuang said lightly: "What's the responsibility, personal praise or reputation?"

   Zhao Changhe, who didn't know what to say from the beginning to the end, finally sighed, interrupting Huangfuqing's taunt that was about to speak: "Okay...I'll go with you."

  Huangfuqing closed his mouth, watched Tang Wanzhuang relax, and could almost feel the brilliance blooming, and smiled with relief.

  Huangfu Qing crossed his arms and squinted, feeling no displeasure at being won by Tang Wanzhuang at this moment. Because they seemed to be having a boring conversation just now, but in fact, they have already finished their conversation, and even exchanged opinions on the next step plan. What are you doing? It’s really not going to work?

  Essentially, this man didn't have much thought of talking about love at all, and he made a stinking appearance of pulling the sentiment into the serious matter, and ruined the good atmosphere.

  A boring man.

  He must have something to say to Tang Wanzhuang right now, but I don't know what he will say.

   Speaking of this matter, it seems that Tang Wanzhuang is the most confused and pitiful one. She is the head of the magic division, and the information she has is not even as good as Zhao Changhe, who has just arrived in the capital for less than a day.

  She desperately maintained the empire, but the empire did not give enough feedback, as if the whole world was against her.

  Huangfu Qing could tell that Zhao Changhe was sympathizing with Tang Wanzhuang.

   Sympathize with a woman who is many times stronger than him...

   "Bah, such a strong woman, she pretends to be weak, shameless!" Huangfu angrily kicked the bathtub in the room, and suddenly laughed out loud.

  Zhao Changhe wanted to take a bath wherever he went, but he couldn't do it anywhere.

  Won't you wash Tang Wan's makeup together?

  ...

  It seems that a lot of things happened, drinking and making troubles, becoming famous in Jinghua, going to the gambling house and coming to the lakeside, talking a lot, but in fact, it took two or three hours in total, and it has not yet passed.

  The street on a rainy night was already deserted. Tang Wanzhuang, holding an oil-paper umbrella, quietly walked home with Zhao Changhe.

  There is a difference in height between the two, and she looks a little hard and cute when she raises her hand to hold an umbrella. Zhao Changhe glanced at her and reached out to take the umbrella.

  Tang Wanzhuang froze for a moment, but didn't refuse, letting him take it.

   The feeling of "who is taking care of whom" is instantly reversed, and any bystanders must admit that the current appearance is more like a copy of the picture scroll that should be.

  But in fact, Tang Wanzhuang's clothes are not wet, so she didn't need an umbrella.

  The two stepped on the bluestone slabs of the capital with one foot high and the other low. In the night, every step was so clear, and gradually synthesized into a synchronized rhythm.

  Like a heartbeat.

   "Have you noticed..." Tang Wanzhuang said suddenly, breaking Zhao Changhe's silent counting of beats.

   "Huh?" Zhao Changhe seemed to have just woken up from some contemplation.

   "Huangfu Qing took you back, right? You are still wet, but she is dry."

   "You mean... Genguan Kunou can't do this?"

"Xuanguan Jiuzhong can do it, but I instinctively feel that she is more than that. She was so amazing and gorgeous back then, how could she get stuck here and not make an inch?" Tang Wanzhuang said with a sigh: "But as a noble concubine, she has long been a concubine. I haven't fought with anyone a few years ago, and no one knows the real strength, unless I try it out with her for real, but it's not suitable... The imperial concubine is always the imperial concubine, and I am a courtier. I just shot in anger, which is already very uncomfortable appropriate."

"Um…"

"Speaking of which, I also want to remind you that even the book of troubled times may not be credible. After all, it speaks according to the record, and there are many people without record. If you meet someone who is not on the list in the future, don't be as arrogant as today's restaurant , Nameless is not necessarily weak."

   "Well. But I think there is a limit to how strong a person without actual combat experience can be. Those who are challenged by leapfrogging are the ones."

"Not necessarily..." Tang Wanzhuang said in a low voice: "Back to Huangfuqing... No matter what her strength is, she will never be wrong if she is a member of the Four Elephant Sect. Don't trust the Four Elephant Sect too much because of Xia Chichi's relationship, Xia Chi Chi is Xia Chichi, and the Four Elephant Sect is the Four Elephant Sect. Her personal friendship with you will not affect the tendency of the sect, and if Suzaku wants to kill you, she will definitely not care about Xia Chichi's feelings."

"Know."

   "You are so arrogant in the restaurant, is there a purpose?"

   "Yes, the more trouble I make, the more likely Xia Longyuan will pay attention to it. If he pays attention, others will dare not move. The wind and rain that might have been caused by entering Beijing will simply disappear. Everything is as simple as that."

   "I'm afraid it's more than that. You hope His Majesty will meet you. It's a pity that the queen is here."

"Um…"

   "Do you dare to see him? Just keep your mouth shut or call him by his first name?"

   "It's nothing... because he doesn't care. But I don't dare to see him now. I learned something in Anle Casino, and I feel that my previous guess was a bit off. It's better not to meet him rashly."

  Tang Wanzhuang didn't ask him what he learned in the casino, but just said: "It feels like you know Your Majesty better than I do."

   "Because you are a courtier, I am not."

   "You have your own opinion, it seems that I was in a hurry... forcibly pulling you away, did it destroy your plan?"

   "No, the matter between me and her is actually over... I am very happy, and you will be anxious about it."

  Tang Wanzhuang stopped talking.

  The lanterns of the buildings on the left and right are swaying in the rain, reflecting the men and women under the umbrellas, dragging long shadows on the long street on a rainy night.

  The two talked as they walked, their tone was very flat, and they chatted casually, as if an old couple took a walk after dinner, so natural.

  It is completely different from the template of Huangfuqing just now, and it is even different from the intersection when I was in Gusu.

  Zhao Changhe knew why there was embarrassment between himself and Huangfuqing.

  Because of the lack of sincerity and fairness, the precipitation of time is also lacking.

   "If you want to leave, don't go by yourself." Tang Wanzhuang finally said: "Go to my side and rest first. I'll find someone to raise suspicions. More than a dozen Zhao Changhe left from different directions."

   "Afraid of the queen?"

   "No..." Tang Wanzhuang's voice was so soft that she couldn't hear her: "I'm afraid of Your Majesty."

  Zhao Changhe suddenly felt that Tang Wanzhuang didn't know everything, at least he knew no less than the people in the casino.

  She just doesn't want to know.
