The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 439 Loyalty and Swallowing Changhong

  I realized that it was impossible to dig out more information about Sword Cottage from Zhai Muzhi, and I dared not ask him directly about Yue Hongling.

  Then there is nothing to talk about... Zhao Changhe didn't socialize with Zhai Muzhi much, excused that it was late and had to catch up with the host, so he left after eating something casually.

  The convoy left slowly, and Zhai Muzhi smiled like a spring breeze and gave the gift there. He looked very respectful to King Langya, and when no one could see him, his smile remained the same.

  It’s just the people shivering nearby, which always make this scene inexplicably weird.

  Xie Ruhai stood on the sidelines and remained silent. When the convoy had gone far, he whispered to Zhai Muzhi: "My lord, it seems that he was sent to Miaojiang. This trip should really have nothing to do with us. But why did Li Si'an hang out with him? Does this need to be investigated?"

  Zhai Muzhi shook his head and said: "A businessman like Li Si'an is unlikely to offend King Langya. He will basically not refuse to do something in the king's way. It is meaningless to investigate him, but it is a good idea."

  Xie Ruhai said: "Then what do we need to do to go to the southwest in the king's way?"

  Zhai Muzhi pondered for a moment: "First of all, you have only met this person in the early years, so you may not be sure if it is true. Although the attitude is correct, the attitude that is used to seeing the superior is something that most people can't pretend. Even Li Si'an, who is rich and wealthy, is unavoidable to be cautious. He talks eloquently and is even a little condescending. It should be...After all, you should be more cautious, trust Langya, and make sure."

  Xie Ruhai bowed and said, "Yes."

  Zhai Muzhi said: "Everything about the Wang family is strange. They shouldn't have expressed their dissatisfaction so early in the first place. Secondly, they have already revealed their rebellion. Even the Cui and Yang families sent troops to suppress it, but His Majesty didn't say anything. He actually let the king's way out... It's clear that he has completely lost his authority and is being controlled by the aristocratic family. I even wondered if this is His Majesty and the Wang family. If you hook up with the Wang family, the Wang family will cooperate with His Majesty to fight someone."

   This is a marketable judgment in the middle of Shu, and similar speculations did not happen overnight.

  Xie Ruhai said: "Therefore, Wang Daozhong came to the southwest, it is very likely that he came to test us... We just need to perfunctory, hello and me are fine?"

  Zhai Muzhi showed a hint of a smile: "Let's wait and see... If the situation is right, maybe what we should do is to capture Wang Daozhong and hand it over to Tang Wanzhuang... For a loyal minister like us, even if Tang Wanzhuang knows something, most likely he can only pinch his nose and close his eyes."

  Xie Ruhai also laughed: "Don't look at what Zhenmeng is doing so-called slaying demons and demons, punishing **** and eradicating evil, after all, she is sitting on this country."

   "Let me tell Suzerain Shi, his strength is just right for Wang Daozhong."

   "Na Yue Hongling..."

   "Yue Hongling has a lot of experience in Jianghu. It's hard to find. You can take your time... After all, she is still hiding in Miaojiang. She doesn't even dare to show her face, let alone mention it... I want to see how long she can hide!"

  ...

  Zhao Changhe never thought that the status of Wang Daozhong might cause disaster... The family members will not run around all over the world, naturally there are their reasons.

   What a coincidence, this matter really has something to do with both Yue Hongling and Jianlu... If he had to choose again, he would still have to play the kingly way.

  Old Wang is really a lucky star.

  But Zhao Changhe didn't know it at the moment. He left Shu County all the way, and rode side by side with Li Si'an on the road. When exchanging opinions, he felt that Zhai Muzhi's attitude was very normal.

   "Normal family friendship, Wang Daozhong is here, he must show courtesy."

   "Well, it's the attitude of an upstart. It's a bit of a thing..." Zhao Changhe sucked his teeth painfully: "Just took a few bites, did I eat my income for a year... Oh no, I don't have a salary."

   "Uh..." Li Si'an considered it for a while, and then said: "Actually, you are paid... You seem to be a secret agent of the Town Magic Division, and the rank is still very high, second only to the chief."

  Zhao Changhe: "Where do I get the money? This is at least a year behind my salary."

  Li Si'an looked at the road ahead without squinting: "If you receive a salary, you must recognize the boss as the first seat, are you sure?"

  Zhao Changhe was overjoyed: "Is there such a good thing?"

   Perverted or you perverted, Li Si'an rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to him about this, and instead said: "He is not necessarily an upstart attitude, but he is used to it, he always does this, and he also thinks that the Wang family and the Cui family do the same."

  Zhao Changhe said: "How is his official reputation? I think the people's fear of him is down to the bone."

   "It's extremely serious." Li Si'an said: "Not to mention anything else, but in the past few months, the forced conscripts dug the canal in the winter, and I don't know how many people died. The people in Shu are in mourning. Reporting it to the court is still a great benefit for the people's livelihood, and it is quite commendable."

  Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "How is Shenhuangzong?"

  The most powerful sect **** in the world, Huangzong, is in Emei, Sichuan.

   I don’t know how these righteous and powerful sects balance the behavior of the government. Will they cut off the heads of dog officials if they act chivalrously? From the current point of view, it seems to be in the same dust as the light, so it is called "right way". To put it bluntly, Gui Chen is similar to the Wang family.

  Situ Xiao's temperament, I guess he can't stand this kind of thing. Since Yanmen, I have never heard of Situ Xiao. Maybe it has something to do with it? Self grounding or something like that, or going to a more remote place.

  Li Si'an shook his head: "I don't know. The Shenhuang Sect is known as the number one sect in the world, but it is actually very low-key. Except for the direct disciple Situ Xiao who travels around the world, he rarely hears about them."

   "How come it's the same as Jianlu, doesn't it communicate with the outside world?"

   "The land of Bashu, the habits are mostly like this..." Li Si'an said: "What's more, to Li Shentong, his township of Bailiao in the southwest will be more meaningful, and he will be less involved in the affairs of Central Earth."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Will we pass by Emei on this trip? I was entrusted by someone to bring something to Li Shentong, but there were too many things before, and there was really no way to go so far. This time I came to Bashu, so I just went to see him."

  Li Si'an said: "It's been several days, choose the Emei one. What did you bring?"

   "A jug of wine."

  Li Si'an: "?"

   You have a lot of troubles here, and you still have the mind to give someone a pot of wine?

  Zhao Changhe said: "I'm already very ashamed, and it's been delayed for several months. To be honest, if I didn't go along the way this time, I might not even think about going once, and I would probably wait until the return trip after the work is done...Sometimes when I think about it, when I first came out of the rivers and lakes, my spirit of only running for promises seems to have weakened a lot unconsciously. It's better to be free."

  Li Si'an smiled: "How do you know what's wrong with Han Wubing today? The rivers and lakes make people grow old, and a lot of things weigh on them. Who can be young forever."

  Zhao Changhe's eyes were shining: "There is always a time when things are done. I also believe that Han Wubing today is still Han Wubing."

   Just as he was saying this, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky.

  The two looked up in surprise, and a new chapter in the book of troubled times came down:

   "April, Lixia."

   "When Han Wubing was in Yanmen, he noticed that the Xuelou Assassin was inquiring about the information of his friends. He searched thousands of miles, from winter to summer, searched for May, and spied on the Xuelou Assassin Yingshuang on the Jiange plank road. Before he could do his best, Yingshuang fled."

   "The winner of the list, the ranking will be reversed."

   "Thirty-three on the list, Han has no disease."

   "I come to the banquet to bow to the breeze, and swallow the Changhong with loyalty."

  ——

  PS: Some book friends reminded that Maitreya died in the list, and Zhai Muzhi should have been fourth.

  The list changes in real time, my mind is messed up, it has been modified, thank you for catching bugs~ you can come more like this kind of catching bugs~
