The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 408 Going to Jiangnan again

   This waist is very timely.

  Zhao Changhe still had to show some embarrassment, he didn't go to the grand farewell breakfast with Huangfuqing openly, and hid in his own yard to eat breakfast, his kidneys were hot.

  Huangfu Qing didn't bother to care about so much, he went to the banquet in all his attire as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing as usual, as if he didn't know what others were slandering.

Yang Jingxiu also acted as if he didn't know what happened, and the scene was full of colorful words, thanking the noble concubine for coming to the birthday banquet, the Yang family was full of brilliance, and the old minister was so grateful that he didn't know what to say... and he wished His Majesty a long life in Nanshan, full of greenery .

  Tang Wanzhuang did not come to dinner on the pretext of feeling unwell. Only Cui Yuanyang was sitting in the banquet, poking a rabbit-shaped longevity peach with chopsticks so hard that his **** was almost smashed.

  Seeing Huangfuqing sitting there radiant and refreshed makes me feel uncomfortable...

   It was originally mine, why are you proud of it, isn't it because you are older, and you are afraid that your time is numbered!

  Huangfu Qing glanced at her, with a victor's kind smile on his face: "How is Miss Cui's family going with Ben Gong today?"

   Cui Yuanyang poked and poked: "Who loves to walk with you..."

  Huangfu said affectionately: "I will let you smell the smell on the road, and you will have a sense of participation."

  Cui Yuanyang(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

  Huangfuqing won a complete victory and led the crowd back to Beijing.

  The fly in the ointment is that the surnamed Tang has not dared to come out to see each other. Unfortunately, there is no chance to sneer, so I have to let the black-bellied little **** of the Cui family suffer...

  Although she tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit for the first time, she was reluctant to leave immediately, but Suzaku is Suzaku after all, and she will not indulge in Mian Shou's side, she wants to do her business. I don't even want to say goodbye, it's boring and boring.

  Well, as long as you treat it as a face-to-face, many things are much easier to accept...

   I don't know whether Wang Daozhong was robbed or not. Judging from the fact that the Book of Chaos did not flash, at least there was no such thing as Xia Longyuan killing Wang Daoning, or Wang Daoning killing Qin Dingjiang. On the surface, everything seemed to be calm.

  Huangfuqing is very interested in the changes in this matter... The royal family who once thought it was a giant, now it seems that there are leaks everywhere, and it is not as good as the imperial court. Their anti-thief cooperation was originally dominated by the Wang family, but now it seems that it is not clear who will be in charge of the ups and downs.

  In fact, the face-headed little pig just asked himself to "convey the venerable", hoping that Suzaku would participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Maitreya. After thinking about it, Huangfu only said that he would report back to His Holiness and let her make a decision, he hesitated in his heart.

  Although the Four Elephant Sect and the Maitreya Sect did not deal with each other because of their different beliefs, and even killed the Jiangbei Buddha of the other party, it is a bit different in this situation.

   After all, they are all rebels in the general direction, not to mention that encircling and suppressing Maitreya in this situation is simply acting as a thug for the Tang family... It is not in the interests of the rebels to say that Maitreya is too easy to be wiped out.

   But there is one thing about this matter that she really pays attention to. Zhao Changhe also used this point to let her "convey the venerable": that is the shadow of the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya.

  People who follow the footsteps of ancient times, there is no one who is not interested in this. The more people on the list, the more interested... In the past, there were only various relics. This is the first time seeing a real person. How can Suzaku not feel a little itchy?

At other times, it is impossible to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with such a "God and Buddha", personally experience the strength level of the other party, and even directly ask questions... This time may be the best opportunity. back? Tang Wan's make-up was picked up, nothing can be found...

  From this point of view, not only should I go by myself, but I’d better call the dead tortoise too... Don’t let my sister miss the good news.

   Really tangled.

   Well... No matter whether you go or not, it is always right to let the dead turtle come to the capital to meet and have a chat. It is always right to beat her up first!

  ...

   "You and her are on good terms, will it affect Suzaku's decision-making?" Tang Wanzhuang sat in the courtyard and asked knowingly with a calm face.

  The so-called "If you really disobey human ethics, I will be very disappointed", it turns out that it does not exist.

Zhao Changhe sat in front of her like a primary school student and secretly watched her for a long time. He couldn't see her anger, so he answered honestly: "Whether she can influence Suzaku's decision-making is not important, and I don't want to use feelings... Uh... Anyway, the key is Suzaku should be interested in the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya, she is very likely to make a move, and I suspect that even Xuanwu may be involved. Their sect attaches more importance to this than aristocratic families and ordinary sects."

  Tang Wanzhuang seemed unable to understand what his pause meant, and said calmly: "Yes, she can influence Suzaku's decision-making."

  Zhao Changhe: "?"

Tang Wanzhuang changed the subject: "In fact, judging from the one who shot me back before, the strength is not strong enough to make you so cautiously invite all heroes... At least there are very big restrictions. Do you know some other ?”

"When they come to this world, there should be some restrictions, so that many things need to seek an agent. But if we want to wipe out the roots and invade his secret place, his performance will definitely not be the same as that day. Don't say I am cautious , I can't wait to put all the power I can use on it, and I'm wondering if it's time to visit Shenhuangzong..."

"It's almost..." Tang Wanzhuang said: "The more people, the better... Like the green forest you used to be, if the alliance does something big, the final distribution of spoils may lead to internal strife. Now Yingwu needs a secret realm, and the Yang family owes you favors." And you need to heal the disease, the Cui family helps the uncle, and the Four Elephant Sect may want to pry into the secrets of gods and Buddhas. It can be said that there is no conflict with each other. After reconciliation, everyone can be happy. Once you pull Li Shentong, you don’t know what he wants, say It’s inappropriate to be uncertain. If there are still collusion forces in the future, we need to take this into consideration.”

  Zhao Changhe was stunned, nodded and said: "I have been taught."

   "I was your master." Tang Wanzhuang raised her teacup and took a sip of tea gracefully.

  Zhao Changhe glanced at her again, hesitant to speak.

  Tang Wanzhuang put down the teacup and sighed: "It's a pity that a certain apprentice daughter-in-law has no manners, and she didn't know to come to offer tea to Master before leaving."

  Holding the piano also hesitated to speak.

   It's better, Miss, I don't know how I will be angry with you when I really meet, so don't send it off.

  Tang Wanzhuang looked to the left and then to the right. The expressions on both of them made people angry, and they put down the teacup a little harder, making a "clang".

  Zhao Changhe sat upright.

Tang Wan said with a stern face: "What I said last night, as long as you are not stupid, you will know that I deliberately provoked her to help you succeed. It's ridiculous that someone thinks it's a big advantage... how come one or two think I'm not good enough? Happy? You are only satisfied if I beat you up, right?"

  Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "No, no..."

  Tang Wanzhuang didn't seem to hear it, and nodded in self-consciousness: "Since you asked so much, I will reluctantly satisfy you."

  Zhao Changhe: "?"

   "Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

   "Let's go, Jiangnan!"

  ...

  When they went north to Hongnong, Jiangnan was in full swing to eliminate the Maitreya Sect.

  The process of Maitreya's rise and fall is very similar to that of the Yellow Turban in the late Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was huge and showed a sweeping momentum, but it was sniped for a few rounds at key points, and the momentum weakened visibly.

   At the beginning, the alliance with other races was effective. The imperial court’s military force, money and food were all involved, and it was unable to organize a large-scale southward movement of troops.

  However, the resistance of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River alone caused the Maitreya religion to fall into a quagmire, with little progress.

Colluding with the Wang family and being destroyed by Zhao Changhe is a trivial matter. In fact, the beheading messenger in front of the door cannot be the key to hinder the two from colluding. The real key is that Wang Daoning despises the Maitreya Sect. This is the reason for the resistance from the bones, including the resistance of the wealthy families in various parts of the south.

  It is also because of this reason that when the early Maitreya Sect gained the upper hand, there was no way to massacre the city and exterminate the clan. The local gentry did not cooperate. If you don’t kill them, you will only add chaos to your rear, and stab them at any time.

   But the more so, the more vicious circle, so that the road gets narrower and narrower.

  When the Hu people were repelled and the imperial court was able to support the south with a little free hand, Maitreya became more and more difficult to fight. When Tang Buqi broke Maitreya's main force on the eastern front in Taihu Lake, it could basically declare that Maitreya's failure had entered the countdown.

  In the end, they focused on the Xiangyang line, and even had a certain chance to kill Tang Wanzhuang, but Zhao Changhe who appeared out of nowhere brought the Blood God Sect, and the whole thing was messed up, and even Maitreya himself was seriously injured.

  From then on, Tang Buqi called on the heroes of the south and launched a major counterattack against Maitreya. In just ten months, all the lost land was recovered, and the front of the army had reached Kuaiji, Maitreya's base camp.

  According to many historical deduction, this is called the pioneer of the king. In the process of fighting against Maitreya, the forces of all parties that are constantly growing may have a new round of competition. For example, Lu Shiheng before is one of them. And the Allied commander who led the crowd to defeat Maitreya may become the new overlord.

  Big Xia's luck is that the commander is a product of the Tang family, and the luck is even better because he has an aunt on top.

  When Zhao Changhe went all the way south, he felt very strange in his heart. He never thought that Nima's Tang Buqi almost had a chance to compete in the world... Is there something wrong with this world...

Without Tang Wanzhuang's pressure, he seems to be able to really do it... But then again, without Tang Wanzhuang's prestige and the dispatch of powerful generals to assist him, Tang Buqi was ignored at the beginning, and he didn't even have a chance to grow up. …

  What caught Zhao Changhe the most was that when it was said that troubled times were about to rise, it was obvious that every family was still waiting for an opportunity, and it still is. And where did Maitreya get the confidence to be the first to raise the flag a year ago before the time was clearly ripe?

   Is it because I have no culture, no history, and no understanding of the situation?

   Or was it forced to advance because of the destruction of the two incidents in Yangzhou and Gusu?

   Or is he too confident in his alliance with the Hu people, and underestimates the power of the southern gentry?

   Or because of the urging of the gods and demons behind, it was a last resort? what are they thinking

  Zhao Changhe is very interested... Don't say that Suzaku Xuanwu is interested in gods and demons, the person who is really most interested is Zhao Changhe. And this is also the first time other than the blind man to really face the gods and demons.
