Zhao Changhe also knew that teasing the Maitreya Sect like this was like walking a tightrope. The goddess was right. The other party was not a fool. They just wanted to absorb them and never thought that he had ill intentions towards them. Everyone was not on the same channel, which led to this interesting situation.
I don't know how much the Fa Yuan Ranking's strength is exaggerated. Even if it's not, it should be at the level of Yue Hongling. And Yangzhou is full of their followers, so it shouldn't be fake. If one day I realize that I've been fooled, I won't know how I died.
But this is what a "spy" is like... If Zhao Changhe wasn't worried about being controlled by the secret method if he did something, he would have wanted to join the sect for fun. After all, everyone knows that he is a rebel, so he can just betray the sect and be done with it. Unfortunately, he is afraid of being controlled, so he can only walk the tightrope like this.
It’s actually quite exciting…
We have achieved results, at least now we know that most of the Cao Gang members are Maitreya believers, and there is a celestial being around the prefect. Judging from this situation, maybe the prefect himself is already a Maitreya believer, or at least he has been controlled.
Zhao Changhe couldn't help but feel a little worried. According to what he had seen, the Maitreya Sect could start a rebellion at any time. This was not something that the Demon Suppression Department in the city could stop. They just didn't know what opportunity they were waiting for. It was said that the empire had not completely collapsed into chaos at the end of the dynasty, but now it seemed that it could start at any time.
He said that he didn't want to be a prince and that world affairs were none of his business, but... this Maitreya religion was not a good choice. That kind of evil doctrine would only push people deeper into the abyss and serve only to satisfy the selfish desires of the sect's upper echelons.
If she rebelled later, Zhao Changhe felt that she would probably just ignore it, because the world belonged to her according to the inheritance anyway...
He was distracted and thinking all the way, when suddenly, the dragon bird behind him vibrated slightly.
Zhao Changhe was shocked.
Dragon Bird warns!
Since we took the detour to arrive at Jianhu Lake, we have not encountered any difficulties or obstacles. This is the first time that the Dragon Bird has sounded a warning in recent months!
Where is the murderous intent
He quickly looked behind him and soon found a cold light on the roof in the distance behind him.
"Bang!" The bowstring made a sound.
Zhao Changhe just turned around and avoided it, adjusted his direction, paused, and rushed towards the attacker like a cannonball.
The other party was obviously also surprised, and had never expected that Zhao Changhe would actually avoid this fatal arrow as if he had foreseen it. Seeing Zhao Changhe rushing towards him, he moved quickly, and in a few flashes he arrived at a place that looked like a Western Region market, and disappeared into the crowd.
After all, Zhao Changhe was chasing from a distance, and when he arrived at the place, he had completely lost the other party's trace and could not find him.
He stood outside the market town, looking at a group of foreign merchants and tourists, frowning tightly.
Just now, I caught a glimpse of him wearing a mask, but it was too fast, so I only knew the mask was blue, and I didn't have time to see anything else. This shows how cautious he is. He even wore a mask for this kind of sneak attack, just because he didn't want anyone to accidentally see and recognize him.
This was not the style of Tingxue Tower before. When Tingxue Tower carried out assassinations, they were not afraid of people knowing that they were the ones who carried out the assassinations. They were eager to promote their brand. They had never worn masks before. It was their style to disguise themselves as these foreign merchants and launch surprise attacks.
Since it doesn't look like Listening Snow Tower, then where did such an enemy come from recently? It's really strange.
Are the merchants from foreign lands gathered in the market? Could they be foreigners? When did I offend the foreigners? We have never met before.
Could it be that Tang Buqi, who had just offended him, was so low? Zhao Changhe went through his enemies in his mind, unable to figure out why.
Seeing that it was getting late, he grabbed a passerby to ask for directions and found his way to Mingyue Tower.
Maybe the Cao Gang can help find some clues... Hey, could it be Wan Dongliu? But he is the host and receiving guests at this time, how could he come out to assassinate? Send someone? What is the motive
… …
"The spring breeze brings three thousand guests to Langyuan, and the bright moon shines on the first building in Yangzhou."
Regardless of whether it is a cover or not, Mingyue Tower is still the best building in Yangzhou. The bright lights make the dusk seem as bright as day. There are laughter and joy inside, and servants fill the door.
Seeing Zhao Changhe slowly approaching, someone immediately shouted loudly: "Young Master Zhao Changhe is here!" Zhao Changhe temporarily shifted his attention away from the assassin and found it quite interesting - it seemed like it was the first time that he was called "Young Master"
It seems to be quite difficult to get this title... Although it is just a courtesy at the moment, and it is good enough if others don’t call you Shao Fei in their hearts, it is still quite interesting to hear.
He bowed and strode inside.
It was said that the dinner was being hosted in Mingyue Tower, a landmark high-rise building, but at this time neither the host nor the guests had gone upstairs. They were all sitting in the lobby downstairs chatting.
Seeing Zhao Changhe coming in, a group of people looked at him. Wan Dongliu greeted him with a big smile: "Brother Zhao is here, please take a seat!"
Zhao Changhe glanced around, but didn't see Yue Hongling. He didn't know if she hadn't come yet, or if Wan Dongliu hadn't invited her. But there was a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat for no apparent reason, and he didn't know if he was Wan Dongliu's father.
Zhao Changhe bowed his hands and said, "Zhao Changhe greets you all. Brother Wan, can you introduce me?"
Wan Dongliu led him to the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Let Brother Zhao know that this is our Governor Qian! Hearing about the Jianghu Hidden Dragons Meeting, Governor Qian is quite looking forward to it, so he came to meet you all."
Zhao Changhe lost all his thoughts. Who the hell has the patience to entertain a nobody? How is your goddess
With this in mind, he casually raised his hand without being too respectful: "So it's you, the prefect. Nice to meet you."
Prefect Qian looked Zhao Changhe up and down and sneered, "He is indeed a bandit."
Zhao Changhe looked at Wan Dongliu expressionlessly. Wan Dongliu quietly pulled him aside and said, "Brother Zhao, this is really my fault. I don't know why the prefect knew that I was hosting a banquet for the heroes and insisted on joining in the fun. I can't refuse, and it's really annoying."
Zhao Changhe patted his shoulder and said, "I understand. I'll just ignore him. Can you introduce the others?"
Wan Dongliu pulled him to the guest seat: "Brother Tang, you two have already met... This is Taoist Xuan Chong from Taiyi Sect, who ranks twelfth among the Hidden Dragons."
Zhao Changhe took a look at the young Taoist in front of him. He looked ordinary and there was nothing memorable about him, but his Potential Dragon Twelve was real. He was only thirteenth, just like Wan Dongliu. These people were ranked Potential Dragons very early. Who knows what level they are now
Zhao Changhe did not look down on him. He politely bowed and smiled, "Nice to meet you."
Taoist Xuan Chong was quite polite. What he said surprised Zhao Changhe: "Nice to meet you. Brother Zhao rebelled against the Blood God Cult and killed the leader of the Demon Cult. He really eliminated a great harm to the martial arts world. He is one of us."
Zhao Changhe blinked his eyes and thought to himself, no wonder... Since leaving Beimang, he has been arrested by the government, wanted by the evil cult, and assassins have tried to kill him, but from beginning to end, no righteous sect has come to cause trouble, and he has no sense of existence at all. It seems that in their eyes, this is a way to kill the devil and get rid of harm, and they don't want to make things difficult for him.
All right, all right. You are the righteous ones, but it seems that you don't give much respect to the imperial wanted order. Tang Wanzhuang's work at the Demon Suppression Bureau seems to be more difficult than imagined.
Zhao Changhe felt much better after being assassinated and encountering a stupid bureaucrat. He continued to ask, "What about the others?"
"These are all the local talents of Yangzhou. This one is the Jade-faced Divine Sword Little White Dragon Su..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud laugh came from outside the door: "Introduce, introduce, what nonsense are you introducing! I am the hidden dragon of the Central Plains, and I am just vainly famous. The hero of Jiangnan is all bullshit!"
As he spoke, the door slammed open and the two gatekeepers were smashed inside, lying on the ground groaning in pain.
Wan Dongliu's expression, which had always been generous, hospitable and smiling, suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Who is this dragon from across the river, causing trouble in my Cao Gang's territory?"
More than ten men came in from outside the door. They all had exotic braids and wore foreign robes. It was obvious that they were not from Middle-earth.
Zhao Changhe's heart moved slightly.
Interesting, the person who just assassinated him hid in the alien market, and not long after that, Wan Dongliu's place was also kicked out by the aliens...
He turned around and glanced at Prefect Qian behind him. So, why was this person standing here today
