The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 444 Red Ling Appears

  Unexpectedly, Lei Huo looked at Wang Daozhong, although he was a little cautious, but he didn't see any awe, and quickly laughed: "I have admired him for a long time, a big man on the list, it's rare to see him, and he is full of brilliance, brilliance of velvet...Mr. Wang, please!"

   As he spoke, he took Li Si'an's arm affectionately and entered the account together: "Fourth brother hasn't come here for a long time? Where have you made your fortune all these years?"

  Li Si'an followed in with a smile: "These years, I mainly stay in Jingxiang, and I seldom run around."

  Zhao Changhe followed in with great interest. The other party seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, there was a hint of flabbergasted... It was the first time that he found that the kingly way that Zhongtu is so dazzling everywhere can be so passerby.

  The other party is actually revealing such a meaning: he cares about the strength of your land list, as for King Langya, don't bring it up. It doesn't matter if you are the King of Langya or Qinghe Cui, this is Erhai Lake, your family's hands can't reach so far, only your own strength can be taken seriously, everything else is false.

   But even if it is the local list, the low-ranking Wangdaozhong will not have much deterrent effect in this place where fish and dragons are mixed. Strong dragons will not overwhelm the top snakes.

   Come here to abide by the rules here.

  Everyone was divided into host and guest, Lei Ao waved his hand proudly: "Come here, serve the osmanthus wine to the honored guests."

  Zhao Changhe sat on the side tasting wine quietly, watching Lei Ao and Li Si'an chatting.

  Lei Ao is continuing the previous topic to Li Si'an: "It turns out that they are all in Jingxiang, Jingxiang is good! I feel that the fourth brother has raised a lot of whites...Why are you in the mood to bring the goods this time?"

  Li Si'an smiled slightly and said, "I'll see if Brother Lei has been bullied by others, and if he needs help from Brother Lei."

  Lei Ao said in astonishment: "Why did fourth brother say that?"

  Li Si'an pretended to be surprised: "Is there no problem with Brother Lei's upstream supply?"

  Lei Ao was stunned, and immediately sighed: "It's really unexpected that this kind of thing will cause the fourth brother to come all the way, and it makes the brother feel very sorry."

  Li Si'an wondered: "How do you say this? It's just 'this thing'?"

  Lei Ao said: "Well, it's really not good for us to speak openly."

  He glanced at "Wang Daozhong" and lowered his voice: "After the tax money was intercepted in early spring, the Southwest Xuanwei Department didn't just forget it, but collected it from each family again..."

  Li Si'an's expression moved slightly.

   Accepted it again, but he didn't hear about it... Where did it go after it was accepted? The imperial court didn't see it either... Could it be that he was robbed again?

  Then counting the group that was robbed just now, wouldn’t it be that the tax money was lost three times?

"The fourth brother should also think of, who can afford such a layer of peeling. In this time, it is not only possible to take the goods on hand directly to the hand. What else can we leave ..." Lei Ao sighed: "Mo said that the second brother is perfunctory, it is the best product in our hands now. Now we just hope that this time can be over. Saying emerald jade, I am afraid that the soil can't afford it. "

  Li Si'an pondered for a moment, his face suddenly changed a little.

  This is a bazaar town, and it looks lively here, but it doesn't mean that the situation of all ethnic groups is peaceful.

  If what Lei Ao said is true, then Southwest Bailiao is probably at the limit of his patience... and this time he was robbed again, so it's fine for Xuan Weisi to let it go, in case it happens again...

  Will Southwest be forced to turn back?

  Zhao Changhe was also thinking, could it be that Li Shentong's purpose of robbing silver still has the intention of forcing the Southwest? But whether the Southwest Xuanwei Division will continue to search, that is not something that Li Shentong can remotely control...

  Lei Ao said again: "If fourth brother doesn't believe me, can you follow us to see the warehouse?"

  Li Si'an waved his hand: "Forget it. What do you think about the current situation?"

  Lei Ao tried to say: "Fourth brother is rich and rich in China, at least he has face, and I don't know if he can talk to Xuanweisi, if he can..."

  Li Si'an laughed "ha": "This kind of thing, now that the Buddha is here, if you don't hug your thick legs, what use is it to ask me?"

  Lei Ao's gaze finally fell on "Wang Daozhong", and he smiled: "I reunited with my fourth brother after a long absence, so I said a few more words and neglected Mr. Wang. I don't know why Mr. Wang came to Erhai Lake."

  Actually, Zhao Changhe knew that Lei Ao didn't intend to let him find some kind of comfort department, otherwise his attitude at first meeting would be different.

   It is very possible that these were all nonsense before, and they were all perfunctory for Li Si'an. An old fritter like Li Si'an should also be aware of it, but they are perfunctory.

   Judgment flashed in Zhao Changhe's mind, sipping his wine, and said leisurely: "One is to expand some business routes for the family, and the other is to hear that there are many strange people in the Southwest, so he wants to recruit talents for the family. Mr. Lei has been working here for many years. I wonder if he can teach me?"

  Lei Ao said: "I don't know what kind of strange person Mr. Wang wants?"

   "Of course they know Gu, isn't this the biggest difference between Southwest Bailiao and Central Earth?"

  Lei Ao shook his head: "Those who know how to use voodoo and voodoo are basically the priests of the clan, and they have extremely strict regulations. They will not go out to do things for others, and they will not easily leak voodoo skills. Otherwise, why hasn't anyone gone to the Central Plains after so many years? Mr. Wang should know this truth."

   "One moment and another moment." Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "Now you have been forced into this by the dog officer, and you don't want to find a new way. You still cling to the old rules and stick to the old rules. It's really ridiculous."

  Li Si'an looked sideways.

  Zhao Changhe continued to criticize violently: "I don't know how many times you have heard about the Middle-Earth turmoil because you are closed in the southwest... I will not hide it from you, my royal family wants to be on the side of the Qing emperor. If someone wants to find another way out, wouldn't my royal family be the best choice?"

  Li Si'an wanted to cover his face.

  Zhao Changhe deliberately paused, and then slowly said: "If anyone wants to stand on their own, you might as well contact my Wang family and help each other."

   Not only Li Si'an couldn't bear to look straight at the hearing, but Lei Ao's expression twitched, and hurriedly said: "This, this matter is too big, it's not up to Lei..."

   "There is no need to decide now, Mr. Lei can go back and ask the head of his family, or other wizards he has made friends with."

  Lei Ao wiped his sweat away and said, "Then please stay a little longer, Mr. Wang, to visit Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Mr. Wang and Mr. Si'an came here just to find a guide. After arriving here, Mr. Si'an has his own business to do. We are not going the same way, so I am sorry to continue to disturb you. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Lei for some followers to be local guides. The price will satisfy these brothers."

  Wanting Lei Ao to help find news about Yue Hongling or Jianlu disciples, obviously he can't say it directly, Zhao Changhe intends to use the entourage guide to inquire, first see if they have seen any red-clothed girls and white-clothed swordsmen before talking. If there really isn't one, find another reason to "remember something" and let Lei Ao mobilize his staff to help find it, it's not so obvious.

  In the end, Lei Ao smiled brightly: "How dare you ask Mr. Wang for money? Who..."

  He circled his fingers, and was about to assign a few attendants, when a cold voice came from outside: "It is said that Mr. Langya King has arrived here...the time for the sword pavilion is uncertain. I have heard the name of Langya Zhenhai Sword for a long time. I hope you will give me some advice."

   Li Si'an was shocked, and Zhao Changhe was also dumbfounded.

  Nima, Lao Wang, can you also cause trouble for me in reverse?

   No, not right...

   Is this joy or worry?

  There is nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron shoes, and the disappeared Lord of the Sword Cottage appeared here inexplicably, and found him in the king's way... If the follow-up can follow him, all mysteries can be solved.

   But the problem is that there is no time to beat it!

  He is sixth on the land list, and his life is gone. Do you still want to follow him afterwards and become a ghost to follow?

   But the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to run out of date, it is better to go out and deal with it, and see if the talk can start to work...

  Zhao Changhe stood up and went out with a "calm face", and responded in his mouth: "Sect Master Shi is too polite...Your Excellency is sixth on the list, and Wang is the last one to accompany him. It should be Wang who asked the Sovereign for advice."

  Li Si'an said anxiously: "Sir!"

   Nima, you can’t die here for no reason. How can I explain to the chief seat when I go back?

  Zhao Changhe waved his hand, opened the tent and came out.

  The guards outside had already dispersed spontaneously, forming an open space. In the middle of the open space, a white-clothed swordsman stood there quietly, with a straight figure, his eyes slightly closed, and his head bowed.

  The whole person looks like a sword... It reminds Zhao Changhe of Han Wubing when he first met.

  Now Han Wubing smiles a little more, not so deadly...

  Seeing "Wang Dao Zhong" come out, the swordsman opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a sharp sword light flashing through the void, making a thunderbolt-like explosion.

  Zhao Changhe held the ancient sword Dragon Emperor in his hand, and cupped his hands at the right time: "Sovereign Shi's demeanor is still the same."

  Whether you recognize it or not, these words can be used as perfunctory. What's more critical is that this handcup actually used the ancient sword Dragon Emperor to silently eliminate the opponent's "Sword of Heart" without showing any fireworks.

  Zhao Changhe didn't learn a few sword skills, but he saw too many.

  He has seen this similar skill in Sword Emperor's inheritance. One of the reasons why I feel that Dao of the Sword is not the end is that I feel that there are too few changes, so few come and go, and there is no style of sword that so many poets of the past have studied.

  Seeing that "Wang Daozhong" easily saw through his power to dismount, and easily resolved it, Shi Wuding finally revealed a serious look in his eyes: "It's too self-deprecating to say that you are the last one in the ranking. With this alone, it is not a problem to get a few places."

  Zhao Changhe smiled: "No matter how advanced you are, you are not the opponent of Sovereign Shi. Sovereign Shi just opened his eyes, and Wang finally raised his hand. I have never heard of the principle of a high-ranking challenge to a low-ranking one. Sovereign Shi and Wang met in a foreign land. They were supposed to have a drink. How did they start a fight? Wang Daozhong just admit defeat, please sit in the restaurant of Sovereign Shi?"

  Shi Wuding said indifferently: "Children of aristocratic families, you are really generous. It is because you are the king, that I want to choose..."

   Before the words fell, the sword energy suddenly shot up in the distance.

  Shi Wuding's face, which had been as flat as a dead man's, finally changed, and he turned his head to look back in surprise.

  A swordsman from his sect flew over: "Sovereign, the consolation envoy was assassinated, and he was dressed in red, but disappeared in a blink of an eye."

  Shi Wuding took a deep breath, and whispered to himself: "What a Yue Hongling... thought she couldn't escape like a bereaved dog, but she had been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack... I underestimated the enemy and neglected..."

  He turned to Wang Daozhong in front of him, cupped his hands and said: "Something went wrong, I need to go back... I will ask Mr. Wang for help at another time."

   After speaking, he disappeared.

   Didn't pay attention to the gentle smile on the corner of Mr. Wang's mouth.

  Setting Sun Hongling, you can't be restrained... Sure enough, no one needs to worry about it.
