Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 108: An ally of Maitreya?

Views:

Not counting the visit to Tang Wanzhuang, this was the first time Zhao Changhe had been to a brothel in his life.

At this moment, he should thank Xia Chichi. After all, he had been intimate with a woman. Although he didn't do it seriously, it was almost the same. If he had come to the brothel a few days ago, the girl would have tensed up as soon as she came close to him. Even Han Wubing could see that she looked like a virgin.

Han Wubing is a friend, so it's okay to be laughed at by him. But he can't show his cowardice in front of outsiders. After all, he is a notorious bloodthirsty Shura, right? If people find out that this so-called fierce man is actually a loser who blushes when touched by a woman, the whole world will laugh their teeth off tomorrow. This guy has a wife, no wonder he wants to run away.

How can I survive in the underworld in the future

"This is Miss Ruyan, the top girl in our Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Wan Dongliu said with a smile, "Ruyan, serve Mr. Zhao well and make him satisfied. You will definitely get some benefits."

Ruyan looked like a quiet and shy lady. She sat down beside Zhao Changhe with her head bowed. She looked very kind and made people want to conquer her. Then she bit her lower lip shyly, clinked the cup with her bare hands, and said softly: "Ruyan toasts to you, you are a hero, and your name is known all over the world. Ruyan has always admired you..."

The fragrant wind blew over her soft jade shoulders. Normally, Zhao Changhe would have tensed up, but now he barely reacted. He raised his glass and drank. He didn't follow Wan Dongliu's example of hugging the girl's waist, nor did he avoid her like a snake. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, looking like an old driver who was too familiar with your tricks, and acted like an old man in the world.

It's not just a matter of saving face, but he is very clear that people in the world are good at judging people by their appearance. If you act like a novice, any trouble might happen to you. But if you are an experienced person, people will not have any bad ideas about you.

As expected, Wan Dongliu hugged his girl and said with a smile: "Ruyan, Brother Zhao has been the leader of a mountain village. He has played with all kinds of good women. It's better to be direct. Who are you doing this for?"

Zhao Changhe thought to himself, I really fall for this, but although this Miss Ruyan is pretty, she is far inferior to Tang Wanzhuang, I have immunity... But he waved his hand and said, "Hey, Brother Wan, you also know that I have played with women too much, these don't mean much, just create an atmosphere."

Wan Dongliu laughed: "That's right, Brother Zhao, the one you covet must be Yue Hongling, or Cui Yuanyang? Compared to them, this brothel is indeed less interesting..."

Grass.

"But then again, even if Brother Zhao gets what he wants in the future, they won't be able to serve him as tenderly as Ruyan. This is different."

"That's right, that's right." Seeing Ruyan's resentful look, Zhao Changhe couldn't talk about this anymore. He coughed twice and changed the subject: "Brother Wan, it's strange. My reputation should be more spread in the north. In the south of the Yangtze River, at most people read books about troubled times. How come you seem to know me better than people in the north? You even gave me a nickname?"

Wan Dongliu said leisurely, "In a place where the canal transportation gathers, information spreads more frequently than in other places. It is also easy for people to become famous here. This is the first reason. The second reason is that the Maitreya Sect actually supported Brother Zhao, although in our analysis, Brother Zhao has nothing to do with the Maitreya Sect."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "They? Praising me?"

"That's right." Wan Dongliu smiled and said, "The Maitreya Sect and the Four Symbols Sect don't have a good relationship. This involves the fundamental doctrine, but the pros and cons outweigh the cons. This conflict may be more serious than the conflict with the righteous path or the court. Brother Zhao is a traitor to the Blood God Sect, which is a subordinate of the Four Symbols Sect and is hostile to the Four Symbols Sect. He also killed Luo Zhenwu, who was suspected to be the prince, and was wanted by the court. The warrant was revoked because he saved the Cui family girl... In every sense, he can be regarded as an ally that Maitreya Sect can win over."

Zhao Changhe almost spit out his wine.

I came here with the intention of causing trouble for Maitreya Sect, but God knows that Maitreya Sect actually considers me an ally.

It does make sense when you think about it, especially at the Ancient Sword Lake. In the eyes of the Maitreya Sect, it was him and Han Wubing who held Xia Chichi hostage, and the Four Symbols Sect was almost dying of anxiety... From the Maitreya Sect's perspective, this is of course the enemy of the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe looked at Wan Dongliu with a playful look. You are so enthusiastic towards me, is it because you are a member of Maitreya Sect

Maitreya is active in Jiangnan, and the Cao Gang is the local boss here. It is impossible that the two sides have no intersection. They are either mortal enemies or their people. And from this brothel, Tang Wanzhuang said that Maitreya is quite obscene, so it is very likely that the people belong to Maitreya.

They also deliberately said, "In our analysis, Brother Zhao has nothing to do with Maitreya Buddhism." Of course, you know that there is no connection.

Wan Dongliu was saying, "So it's quite normal for Maitreya to promote Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao, don't think the name Shura sounds bad. Maitreya seems to be very good. Of course, this promotion is mainly to embarrass the Four Symbols. In their mouths, the new Saint of the Four Symbols is someone Brother Zhao is tired of playing with, and the leader of the Blood God can be killed at will, and even the leader can't stop him, and so on. In the process of this promotion, Brother Zhao's image has been infinitely elevated. He is indeed well-known in this area..."

Zhao Changhe: "I really want to thank them on behalf of Master Xue."

Wan Dongliu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about Maitreya. I wonder why Brother Zhao came to Jiangnan as a fierce tiger? Is there anything the brothers can help with?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I just helped you catch a thief. I am a little uncomfortable with your enthusiasm."

Wan Dongliu shook his head: "Caught a thief? Brother Zhao, do you know who this thief is?"

"I really don't know anyone from Jiangnan. I hope Brother Wan can give me some advice."

"That's the famous Kong Kong Master Ji Chengkong."

Zhao Changhe thought for a while, but there was no such name in the book about troubled times: "Sorry, I still haven't heard of it." "... Anyway, he is a thief who is very troublesome in Jiangnan. He has a characteristic that he not only likes to steal things, but also likes to pry into people's privacy. If he can steal evidence and spread it, he will like it the most." Wan Dongliu sighed and said, "So, Brother Zhao, do you know why I am quite powerful, but I catch thieves alone..."

"Did he reveal some of your private information?"

"That's right. This may seem like a trivial matter to Brother Zhao, but in my eyes, it is no less important than saving a life. Of course, please forgive me for not saying more about what it is specifically."

Saved you from social death, right?... Zhao Changhe thought it was quite interesting. Jianghu is so big that there are all kinds of people. Ji Chengkong is quite interesting. So he asked, "Brother Wan, how do you deal with Ji Chengkong? Do you want to kill him?"

"It hasn't caused any impact yet, and I'm not that bloodthirsty. But I'm worried that he might relapse, so I can't let him go. I was planning to lock him up for a while..." Wan Dongliu looked at Zhao Changhe thoughtfully, "Brother Zhao, are you trying to plead for him? He just wanted to steal your money."

Zhao Changhe waved his hand and smiled, "No, I just think Jiangnan people are very interesting and I learned a lot. Come on, have a drink."

Wan Dongliu laughed: "Ruyan, it's up to you."

Ruyan, who had been listening to Zhao Changhe's words with seemingly great admiration, finally smiled and came over: "Sir..."

Zhao Changhe acted like a seasoned driver, accepting everyone who came and smiling, but he found it more and more interesting in his heart.

Wan Dongliu must have some ideas about himself, and it would definitely not be as simple as helping him catch a thief.

If he was a member of the Maitreya sect, would he really pull himself onto the chariot

The host and the guests began to drink and chat, talking about meaningless topics, mixed with the girls' giggles and flattery. The host and the guests were very happy after drinking, and it was already dark.

Wan Dongliu tactfully hugged his girl and said goodbye, smiling, "Ruyan, serve Mr. Zhao well tonight."

Ruyan's eyes were full of charm and she lowered her head shyly.

Zhao Changhe also looked like he was going to try something new tonight, so he put his arm around her and went to the guest room with a smile on his face.

The door closed, and Ruyan asked shyly, "Sir... do you want Ruyan to help you bathe?"

Zhao Changhe couldn't wait to hug her and jump onto the bed: "There's no need for so many tricks, I'm in a hurry to get it!"

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, be gentle, you are so impatient..."

The person outside the door listened, shook his head and walked away.

It's not advisable to listen too much. Zhao Changhe is a hidden dragon with sharp ears and eyes. It would be bad if he finds you.

No one knew that as soon as the person outside the door left, Zhao Changhe pointed his finger at Ruyan's sleeping point and stood up.

How could that clear and bright look be so impatient

"Only an idiot would do that with a woman who looks like she's from the Maitreya sect. I don't know how she's controlled... Besides, as I said before, it's dirty." Zhao Changhe quietly took out a set of night clothes from his bag and put them on. Suddenly, he went out through the window and disappeared into the night.

The biggest problem is that people might think there were only three seconds in the room... Never mind, big things are more important.

Target, track Wan Dongliu.

PS: I'll take a break tonight. I've added too much recently and my brain is a bit stiff. I'll add more tomorrow.

Thank you Jiuzhou Huoshangmeng, muah~
