The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 54 What is the relationship between you and Tang Shouzuo

  This non-human being, I don't know if he is sincerely praising you, or implying that you are born rebellious and no one dares to ask for it. After the drinkers chattered indiscriminately, now Zhao Changhe felt as if there were ridicule hidden in everyone's words, and it hurt extremely.

   What's more painful is that he doesn't know how to answer this question.

  What's the relationship with Tang Shouzuo?

how could I know!

   "I'm the man she can't get in her life, does that count?"

  Cui Yuanyong was a little helpless: "Brother Zhao... Cui is not good at joking, can we be more serious."

"To be more serious, I killed the person she wanted to save with a knife in front of her. She personally issued a wanted arrest for me, and everyone knows it. Since she wants me, can't I declare that she will never catch me? It's a joke, so why not mean it?"

  Cui Yuanyong said slowly: "However...does she really want to catch you?"

  Zhao Changhe said casually: "What the drinker said just now, no one cares about such things when the arrest warrant is blurred by the rain? As long as the local government is lazy in this kind of thing, it is normal. The local officials will let her die for Tang Shouzuo."

"No... many wanted criminals can't be caught because they don't know where they are, and she clearly knows that you are in Beimang, but she actually sent a naive girl like Shemei... Well, this kind of inexperienced little girl. I have never seen it before. Zhenmusi has such a casual attitude towards wanted criminals."

  The little idiot of the Cui family was sent by Tang Shouzuo, which means that Tang Shouzuo already knew that Zhao Changhe was in Mangshan.

  Since we know that he is in Mangshan, it’s fine if we don’t come to catch him personally, and we don’t send elite soldiers, but a little fool who has never been out of the rivers and lakes?

  Zhao Changhe knew that this matter really couldn't be explained, so he didn't continue to play tricks, and said: "She probably thought Brother Cui would make a move?"

"Perhaps... But you may not know one thing... I am also careless about this task and I don't even want my little sister to do it, so I have been delaying the time until she breaks through the third level of the entrance. This time will be delayed for a month or two, Tang There is no response from the first seat, is this the official attitude towards knowing where the wanted criminal is?"

  Zhao Changhe: "...Why are you procrastinating?"

"I procrastinated because I thought you were not an ordinary gangster and planned to observe more. But Tang Shouzuo didn't respond, which really made me feel a little weird." Cui Yuanyong said lightly: "She shouldn't be unresponsive! Because you are not ordinary The wanted criminal, the person you killed is only a local gentry, and he is only worth a reward of one hundred taels... But we know that Luo Zhenwu is not just a local gentry, and the consequences of your knife are very serious."

  Zhao Changhe was silent.

Cui Yuanyong finally asked the question: "If he is really the prince, she Tang Wanzhuang must come to catch you in person immediately, and she can leave this matter to my little sister. I don't care how long I delay it, so I am so careless." ? This at least shows that Luo Zhenwu is not a prince at all, and his death is not important."

  It turns out that Tang Shouzuo is called Tang Wanzhuang...um.

Zhao Changhe sighed: "You have already guessed that Luo Zhenwu is not the prince, otherwise, if you observe me as a hammer, you should arrest me immediately? The Cui family is a famous family in Daxia. How many people in the family are there?" How can it be like this is only Tang Chief's business when Da Xia takes office?"

  Cui Yuanyong showed a smile and didn't say much.

   It's just that the gaze towards Zhao Changhe is more playful.

Zhao Changhe was embarrassed by him, and said speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Luo Zhenwu is not a prince, and he is not a prince. It means that it is normal that he doesn't pay much attention to my arrest. What's so strange. "

"But..." Cui Yuanyong said leisurely: "She asked my little sister to catch you... Don't you know that according to the normal deduction, the final result will be me fighting you? Does she want to catch you? Looking at it, you don’t want to catch it, but at the same time, you want to kill you?”

  Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

really…

   Tang Shouzuo received the news that he was in Beimang, it must have been when he had just defeated Deputy Helmsman Huang and entered the book of troubled times. At that time, it was deliberately leaked by Wang Dashan and others, and a group of idiots were attracted to challenge the Qianlong list. It is unreasonable for the government to have no news. Presumably the local government did not dare to be good at it, so it quickly reported to Zhenmagic.

At that time, my strength was the first level of the Xuanguan, and the younger sister of the Cui family was at the second level of the Xuanguan... No, it has nothing to do with strength, no matter whether Tang Shouzuo can guess the rapid development of my own strength during this period of time, that is not important, what is important is Tang. The first one should be able to see that with a naive criticism like the little sister of the Cui family, even if she enters the most ordinary small cottage with no masters at all, there is a high probability that she will be planted.

  Cui Yuanyong saw his sister in danger, so how could he not take action?

  So Cui Yuanyong will definitely fight Zhao Changhe, but with Cui Yuanyong's strength, how can he take over? Wouldn't it be certain to die!

   If you really want to kill him, Tang Shouzuo can just send any cronies. Why are you beating around the bush?

  Because of the identity of the Cui family? If the Cui family killed the prince, would it be beneficial to the situation? This is only good for the rebels, she almost laughed crookedly, isn't she Tang Shouzuo?

  Tang Chief was sure that Cui Yuanyong would never casually kill a suspicious identity like Zhao Changhe. Did he intentionally let Cui Yuanyong contact Zhao Changhe to confirm something?

  But why didn't she come to confirm it herself, in such an uncontrollable way?

   I can't figure it out.

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and said sincerely: "Brother Cui, I didn't pretend to be confused with you. I don't want to understand this matter now. Can you tell me the whole story of your going to Beimang? Is Lingmei a subordinate of Zhenmagic Division? It doesn't look like it."

"No, I'm going to Beimang first." Cui Yuanyong said: "I want to challenge Yue Hongling, so that people can pay attention to her whereabouts. I learned that she has appeared in Beimang. My sister knew that I was going out, so she couldn't bear it." At home, I wanted to hang out with me... I thought she should go out at her age, and traveling thousands of miles is good for her, so I took her out for a trip, and my family agreed."

   This is indeed normal, Zhao Changhe didn't interrupt, and refilled him a glass of wine, knowing that there was more to come.

"Although my family didn't pass by the capital when I went to Beimang, it wasn't too many detours to turn to the capital, so I naturally took her to the capital for a tour first, and paid a visit to Tang Shouzuo - to be honest, if a woman can learn Tang The demeanor of the first seat is our expectation."

Zhao Changhe thought of that night when the woman's sword was as bright as water, and her sickly body stood in front of the Demon Cult. She was beautiful and quiet but dignified. He could almost imagine how she was working at her desk while coughing, dragging her sick body to support this decaying empire. …Although this feeling may not be true, the first impression is true.

  Even if it’s just superficial, the Cui family’s younger sister can really learn a little bit, I’m afraid the Cui family will all set off firecrackers to congratulate.

  He couldn't help laughing: "And then?"

"As it turns out, my younger sister doesn't admire Tang Shouzuo's demeanor. On the contrary, she is very interested in their business as a magician. They talk about hunting down bandits and doing justice in the world. It's fascinating to think about it. Join Zhenmeng Division."

  Zhao Changhe almost didn't laugh out loud.

The responsibilities of the Department of Magic Suppression are somewhat similar to the modern serious crime team, of course the status is much higher, because this is a fantasy world of martial arts, and the demons "suppressed" by this department are always people in the list of troubled times, and they are basically anti-monsters. Thieves and alien leaders. Tang's first job corresponds to this group of people, and his status is not just as simple as the leader of the serious case team or the captain of the special operations, but the top minister of the court, the first rank in the court.

  A little girl who was spoiled at home said that she was going to face the most **** crime team in the entire empire. You really want to join it, but you can only be a mascot. Do you really want to suppress the devils in the world?

Looking at Zhao Changhe's expression, Cui Yuanyong knew what he was thinking, and sighed helplessly: "Everyone knows that this is unreliable, and to be honest, our family does not want to join this kind of yamen, which is not in line with our purpose... And Tang Shouzuo may not hope that a Cui family member will come to Zhenmagic Division. If she does come, her head will probably swell three times. So she said that if you want to join Zhenmagic Division, you must complete the entry task anyway, and it depends on the completion of the task. To determine whether to enter the job."

  Zhao Changhe gave a "tsk" sound: "What she said is also insidious, she didn't say that she can join the job after finishing it."

"That's right. When I heard that, I thought it was just perfunctory. Just find a mission to let my little girl know that it's not so easy to catch bandits, and they have a tacit understanding with me, knowing that I won't help her complete the mission." Cui Yuan Yongdao: "When she was choosing the task, she chatted with me about the family affairs, and when she learned that I was going to Beimang... At that moment, she froze for a moment, frowning and pondering for a long time."

   "So the mission is to catch me?"

   "Tang Shouzuo said that just after receiving the news, there is a wanted criminal in Beiman, so let him be. That's how things are. Otherwise, how would we know where you are?"

From this point of view, Tang Shouzuo probably didn't think about it before, but when he learned that Cui Yuanyong was coming to Beiman, he didn't know what kind of deduction she was asked to make. into this.

  Zhao Changhe's expression gradually became strange, and suddenly he had an out-of-the-ordinary idea—if Tang Shouzuo can really be sure that Cui Yuanyong will not kill randomly, then why does this arrangement feel like a blind date?

   No wonder what Cui Yuanyong asked was not "your identity", but "what is your relationship with Tang Shouzuo"!
