"Wait." Tang Wanzhuang finally sighed, stood up and said, "I am sorry for being so rude. You are not a ungrateful person. This is a good thing... If you are not in a hurry to go back, you may come in and have a cup of tea."

Zhao Changhe did not go in, and said coldly: "I now suspect that you are monitoring my inn. Please cancel it, otherwise it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Tang Wanzhuang shook her head: "There is no surveillance, but there are people guarding the outer roads. Sir, do you know why?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Tang Wanzhuang smiled and said, "Your horse is too valuable, and you are often away from home. If there is no one to protect it, it would have been stolen long ago. Jianhu City is a very chaotic place, and the inn is not that reliable. You haven't experienced it much these days because the Demon Suppression Division is here."

"Okay." Zhao Changhe sighed, thinking it was a favor, and finally he didn't act so stiffly. He went into the room and sat opposite her: "First Master, speaking of this, the Demon Suppression Division is helping me protect my horse, and I can't be ignorant of good and bad. But to be honest, not experiencing the chaos of Jianhu City is not a good thing for me. On the contrary, it is a pity."

Tang Wanzhuang said nothing, but quietly made tea, seeming to be thinking about what he said.

Zhao Changhe simply asked: "Do you know when was the most enjoyable time during my trip to Jianhu Lake?"

Tang Wanzhuang said: "He traveled thousands of miles, galloped on horseback, and drew his sword to save Han Wubing."

Zhao Changhe clapped his hands and said, "Not bad!"

His voice got louder as he spoke: "That would be great! Right? The fight Han Wubing and I had agreed to have should have been great... Unfortunately, the Demon Suppression Division and the Demon Cult have been a farce these days, and it has dulled our interest. Even though Wubing got the sword and learned a special move, it seems like he has gained a lot, but I think he is also not interested and feels uncomfortable."

Tang Wanzhuang finally couldn't help but argue, "This matter was caused by the Four Symbols Sect's desire to find the magic sword. Even if there was no Demon Suppression Division, you would have been disturbed. The Maitreya Sect was even after Xia Chichi's head, and the Demon Suppression Division prevented the situation from getting worse. You might as well blame Xia Chichi..."

As he said this, he seemed to feel that saying this would be misunderstood as being sour, so he kept silent and just handed Zhao Changhe a cup of tea.

Zhao Changhe shook his head and said, "I don't blame anyone. I'm not saying this to you to blame anyone... I just want to say that I'm grateful for protecting me, but that's not what I need... Maybe you think I'm doing this for the so-called 'refined taste', but that's not the case. It's just that Zhao Changhe, who is being protected, may never grow up again. It's not what I want, and it may not be what you want to see either."

Tang Wanzhuang sighed: "But it's dangerous to let you wander around the world without paying any attention."

"So if you really think of me as a prince, then I suggest that you help me cover up the suspicion of being a prince, just like the wanted order. As long as the top rebel leaders like Suzaku Maitreya still think that Prince Luo Zhenwu is dead, I won't be in the irresistible danger you imagine. As for other Jianghu turmoil, you must go through it. I believe you also went through it many years ago, otherwise there wouldn't be Tang Wanzhuang ranked third on the Earth Ranking."

Tang Wanzhuang couldn't hide her admiration in her eyes, and slowly said, "What if he died?"

"It's better to die." Zhao Changhe said calmly: "The chaotic world is coming, you can't hold up the building alone, the world will be bloody. If I am still mediocre at that time, I won't survive for many years in the chaotic world. What difference does it make if I die early in the world?"

At this point, he suddenly added: "Perhaps your emperor also thinks so, otherwise why didn't he say a word?"

Tang Wanzhuang finally raised her teacup and gestured for a toast: "Wanzhuang has figured it out. Let me toast to Your Highness."

"..." Zhao Changhe was speechless. You didn't think I was going to come back to help you guys, did you? You're overthinking, sister. He held the teacup and thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever thought that what the prince wants is not necessarily to inherit the throne, but to ignore this day?"

After saying this, he raised his glass and clinked it together, not caring that it was hot, he drank it all, then strode out.

He didn't say "turn the world upside down", otherwise it would be easy to sell out Xia Chichi. At the end, he changed the word to "ignore", which unconsciously was his true meaning.

I don't want to be a rebel, nor do I want to be a royalist, and I don't want to be constrained. The way I follow is nothing more than the morality in my heart.

I can do a few things with your skills and dragon bird. If I really feel constrained, I won't even blink when I talk about resigning. At worst, I'll just give up my skills and return the sword. I'll still be me.

Not to mention interfering with my feelings, it's just funny.

The maid was beside him the whole time, and she was also pretty and charming, but Zhao Changhe didn't seem to notice her, and his eyes didn't stop for a second. Tang Wanzhuang thought about his performance and suddenly laughed. How come people always think that he is popular with women? His mind is not on this at all...

Seeing Tang Wanzhuang laughing to herself, the maid said angrily: "This Zhao Changhe really dares to say anything... It's true to say that he has a traitorous mind."

"Yes." Tang Wanzhuang stretched and continued to sit at the desk to write the unfinished letter.

That was a report to the emperor, about the two great evil sects gathering at Jianhu Lake and the owner of the ancient sword.

Among them, Zhao Changhe, who gave the key report, had previously been stuck on the evaluation and had stopped writing.

Now Tang Wanzhuang took up her pen and dipped it in ink. After a moment of hesitation, she wrote down her comment: "Aspirations are like Kunpeng, yet it has not yet left the North Sea; power is like a dragon or a tiger, yet its claws and fangs are still young."

After thinking for a while, he added eight more words: "Love and justice, lawlessness."

… …

When Zhao Changhe returned to the inn, he saw the black horse in the yard. It had been washed clean and was eating grass leisurely.

Zhao Changhe laughed, walked forward and hugged the horse's neck: "I've ignored you these days, but you have someone to protect you, and you're fat, so you won't be dissatisfied with your thigh meat so soon, right? Oh, that's for people, what do you call this?"

He scratched his head, unable to describe it because he was uneducated, and patted Wuzhui's head: "I'll take you out to hang out tomorrow. I'm busy today because I have important guests." After saying that, he returned to the house and smiled without even looking at him: "Don't hide on the beam, I know you are there."

Xia Chichi floated down, extremely surprised: "When did you reach this level? The Book of Chaos didn't report it. I am now at the sixth level of Xuanguan. Can you detect my restrained aura? Don't tell me about the fragrance or something like that."

"No." Zhao Changhe hugged her with a smile: "Someone tried to get me to go to the brothel, so I knew that their city demon exorcism was not implemented very well. At least they knew you didn't go far, so they did this to provoke us. I even suspected that they were monitoring my inn because of this, and I almost had a falling out with them."

Xia Chichi's eyes flashed with a smile: "Let you go to a brothel? Give you a woman? Why don't you want it?"

"I guess that if the Demon Suppression Division gets serious, it's unlikely that you can hide quietly. The most likely place is with me. They know it, but they're afraid that I'll be alienated, so they dare not act rashly. It's better to coax me to a brothel, and you wait for me here all night. If I end up going to a whore, you might be so angry that you won't talk to me anymore."

Xia Chichi thought for a while and laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist: "Tang Wanzhuang is so funny... Ha, hahahaha... She might as well take it off to seduce you, maybe it will work hahahaha..."

Zhao Changhe just looked at her without saying anything.

Xia Chichi smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Changhe pointed at his old face and said, "Don't you think I performed well? Do you want a kiss to encourage me?"

Xia Chichi really stood on tiptoe and kissed her softly, saying softly: "Changhe..."

"Um?"

"If you sleep in a brothel today, I will be unhappy. After all, I came here specifically to see you... But if it's any other time, it's okay. It's best to find a clean prostitute. Others that are a bit dirty are not good."

Zhao Changhe: “?”

Xia Chichi smiled: "You have been single for many years, and you are full of vigor and vitality. You always need something. It is better to go to a brothel to solve it than to be seduced by Cui Yuanyang... I can't give it to you, so why should I keep holding it back? I don't think it makes sense."

Zhao Changhe was stunned.

Xia Chichi smiled and said, "Don't say I am a demon girl from the Demon Sect. As for the children of Jianghu, no one would care about such a small matter. I don't know how you developed such a thought. You avoid ordinary things that can be seen everywhere in this world. On the contrary, you repeatedly speak rudely to Tang Wanzhuang, who is respected by ordinary people as a goddess."

"Well… "

"Could it be that because Tang Wanzhuang is pretty, you are speaking rudely to attract her attention?"

"No!" Zhao Changhe immediately stated: "Absolutely not!"

"Okay..." Xia Chichi said softly, "Whether you want to be a prince or not, the Zhao Changhe in my mind is a man of unparalleled ambition, who can take any woman in the world. This is what I said in the Water Curtain Cave. Whether it's Cui Yuanyang or Tang Wanzhuang, I may be jealous, but if you really want it, then take it. What's the big deal?"

Zhao Changhe was dumbfounded: "Hey, who possessed you today?"

Xia Chi Chi shook her head slightly: "I am not qualified to let you do this. I have never done anything for you. On the contrary, you have been taking on the things that I don't want to take on regarding the prince's affairs."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head: "Not really, I am often ambiguous about this identity, because it is useful, and I am not a conservative person. So it is not completely a responsibility..."

Xia Chichi laughed: "That's another matter... Anyway, if the river is flowing, it is unstoppable. Today, I have become the riverbank that makes you worry. I don't want to do that."

Zhao Changhe was silent.

It seems like there is a little bit.

But this riverbank is not her, but her own modern thinking, and the thinking of an innocent college student... She is unwilling to let go, because once she lets go, it seems that there will be no difference between her and the people of this world.

But we must realize that today, this strange way of thinking has become very awkward. Not only does Xia Chichi find it strange, even Han Wubing can see it.

"I knew that the Demon Suppression Division was searching the entire city, but I still took the risk to come here today, just to push down the dam in your heart." Xia Chichi slowly pushed him to the edge of the bed, gently kissed his cheek, then slowly kissed his neck, kissed his chest, and whispered softly: "Even at this point, I dare not give you everything, for fear that I will be discovered after I go back. You see, what qualifications do I have to ask you? I don't even understand it myself."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

"I can't give it to you, but can we leave it like this for now..." Xia Chichi kissed while moving her slender hand slowly down to look for the Kappa.

Zhao Changhe hissed and was speechless for a long time.

"I've been holding it in for half a year since we started living together in Beimang. It's too late for the river to burst its banks today..." Xia Chichi looked up and saw that Zhao Changhe was obviously at a loss. She smiled brightly, grabbed his hand and put it in her arms: "Do you understand it now? Remember in the future, don't wrong yourself for me. That shouldn't be you."
