"Splash~" The sword seeker by the lake saw two pig heads emerging from the lake and was so scared that he ran away.
Who wouldn’t run? Not only did two pigs emerge from the lake, but one of them was covered in smoke, a monster!
Zhuque laughed so hard that he fell backwards, finding it very funny.
Zhao Changhe glanced at her sideways, feeling deeply regretful.
When I entered the sword room, I was thinking about Han Wubing and sensing the remnants of the sword intent, and I didn't even think of looking at her. The weather was still hot, and everyone's clothes were very thin. What kind of beautiful sight would it be to see such a hot lady get wet in the water
As a result, she was able to use her Qi to dry her clothes, and it was no longer worth watching...
Is Xuanguan Jiuchong so awesome
Zhao Changhe could only dry his body, not his clothes. Moreover, even if he could dry his clothes after practicing for a higher level, the water vapor would have to evaporate slowly. How could it be dried instantly like her? Was this pumping water or drying clothes
Zhuque asked, "What's that look in your eyes? Are you regretting not taking a closer look in the sword room just now?"
"No, no, I'm just admiring your skills."
"We cultivate fire-type Qi, so of course we are better than the average person in this aspect." Zhuque smiled, "It's not like you and some other people who learn the spring water, which makes you wet for no reason."
Zhao Changhe: “?”
It seems like a car wheel ran over it
Zhuque seemed unaware that he was driving, and said leisurely, "Isn't it uncomfortable to be wet? Do you want me to help you?"
"If you can help, please help."
"Call me good sister."
Waiting here, right? Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing, but he didn't hesitate, and really acted like a spoiled child: "Good sister~"
Seeing a pig-head shouting "good sister" in front of him, Suzaku almost burst out laughing. He tried to hold it back, and finally bent over while holding his stomach: "Hahahaha..."
Zhao Changhe looked at her speechlessly.
This sister loves to laugh more and more, which is different from when I first met her. It seems that after taking off her snake face and putting on a pig head, she seems to have released a lot more under the mask.
Zhuque seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, but he didn't care. He was still laughing and panting. He stood up and patted Zhao Changhe on the shoulder.
The hot true energy surged through instantly, and the clothes dried instantly under the rising mist.
Zhao Changhe was shocked: "Amazing..."
"Want to learn?" Zhuque said with a smile: "Join the sect and I will teach you."
Zhao Changhe said nothing and strode straight into the city.
Suzaku snorted and followed.
Jianhu City has always been a rather special city. Zhao Changhe had learned about it the last time he came here. In the imperial court's system, this city was actually just a town. It was completely due to the prosperity caused by the "tourism industry" that the city became more and more prosperous, but the imperial court did not upgrade the city and it remained a town. There was not even a government office in the town, and it had completely become a "lawless place" where various gangs lived together.
Last time, Zhao Changhe was confused. Without a government office, who would be in charge of the taxation? Could the clerks in the town control these unruly gangs
The Demon Suppression Division did not have an independent office, and for some reason they had their office in a brothel. As time went by, top people like the Four Elephants Sect had guessed what the Wanhua Building was like, but I wondered if the local gangs knew.
In short, this situation is very chivalrous, but very unrealistic. There must be a reason for its formation, but I didn't understand it more deeply last time.
They arrived at the bamboo forest in the backyard of Wanhua Tower with ease. The guard was still the familiar guard, but the pig head was no longer a stranger. As expected, he was stopped: "You two, this is a private bamboo forest, not a place for romance..."
Suzaku: “…”
Why do people say we are in love wherever we go? The robbers also said so. We are just wearing the same pig face, how can that be considered as love
Zhao Changhe did not reveal his face, but quietly took out his jade token and gestured. The guards were startled, looked around, and lowered their voices: "Greetings, Master Secret Envoy. What do you want?"
Tsk, it seems that this brand is really high-level, not a spy, but a secret envoy...
Zhuque glanced at him sideways and said nothing. This card was probably Tang Wanzhuang's unique card, the kind that showed her face to her. This little man had never thought that he represented Tang Wanzhuang from the moment he received the card, and was not a subordinate spy at all.
He doesn't even realize that he's being played around by his elder sister.
Zhao Changhe put on a pig-headed look and acted like a secret envoy: "Take us in. Whoever is in charge here, let him come to see me."
After saying this, he walked into the courtyard as if he was familiar with the place, and went straight to the bamboo building where Tang Wanzhuang lived. However, the guards thought it was natural and quickly went to report to the person in charge.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a strong suit hurried upstairs and saluted, "I am Wei Zicai, the purple-handed commander of Jianhu City. What do you want from me, the special envoy?"
"I want the whole story of Han Wubing's incident."
Wei Zicai said very straightforwardly: "He had a conflict with Ji Yinan of the Tianyi Gang and killed Ji Yinan during the fight. The Pinghu Gang stood up for the Tianyi Gang and the two gangs worked together to capture Han Wubing. Han Wubing was finally overwhelmed by the combined strength of the two parties and was forced to flee. The Tianyi Gang was incorporated into the Pinghu Gang."
Zhao Changhe's first reaction was that something was wrong: "Recruited?"
Wei Zicai smiled: "Right... So it is still unknown whether Ji Yinan was killed by Han Wubing. Maybe it was Yan Lianping who did it. It can not only frame Han Wubing, but also gather the strength of the two gangs to capture Han Wubing, force out the location of the ancient sword and the source of Han Wubing's new swordsmanship, and at the same time, it can also take over the Tianyi Gang in a logical way, killing two birds with one stone."
This is a true story of the martial arts world. Zhao Changhe and Suzaku, who had just escaped from the Wang family's affairs, almost simultaneously felt a sense of going from the court to the martial arts world, as if they had changed into a different world.
But to be honest, this is what they like more. At least Zhao Changhe is more interested in this kind of thing than in the world affairs from a high vantage point.
Hearing that Han Wubing had just escaped and nothing had happened, Zhao Changhe felt relieved. He then asked, "How could Han Wubing, who was in seclusion, reveal some new swordsmanship and get involved in gang fights? Was it because he was seen around the city and aroused suspicion from others?"
"It's normal for Han Wubing to appear in the city occasionally to purchase food. He behaved the same way when he lived in seclusion by the lake, and no one paid attention to him." Wei Zicai said, "He was exposed because he helped Zhao Changhe."
“?” Zhao Changhe was stunned. “Why did you bring Zhao Changhe up? Tell me in detail.”
"Someone spread rumors that Zhao Changhe's physique and broadsword didn't look like someone from the Central Plains, and that he might be a spy from the grasslands, or the illegitimate son of the mad lion He Lei. Han Wubing was shopping when he heard it and flew into a rage. When he fought with the other party, he revealed other sword techniques that far surpassed what he had learned in Jian Lu, and that's when people suspected that he had mastered the secrets of Jian Hu."
Zhao Changhe fell silent for a moment.
Zhuque glanced at Zhao Changhe. This buddy is really loyal... Originally, Han Wubing just ran away and didn't die. This matter might not need to be investigated to the end. But now it is impossible for Zhao Changhe to ignore it.
Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty used this kind of sword in the past. How can the so-called grassland style come from? How can anyone believe such a thing?"
"There are many fools in the world. If someone says something, someone will believe it." Wei Zicai said, "This rumor may have a deeper purpose. I wrote to the chief two days ago. Now that the special envoy has arrived, it's even better..."
Zhao Changhe frowned. Yes, bringing up his background as an issue was actually a very sensitive matter. They wanted to fundamentally shake his legal rights as the heir of Daxia. This sounded like something done by the Four Symbols Sect.
He turned his head and looked at Zhuque, who looked back at him coldly. Zhao Changhe smiled and shook his head. Of course it wasn't the Four Symbols Sect. Times had changed. The Four Symbols Sect was planning to accept him as a member. Doing this would no longer be good for the Four Symbols Sect.
It could be the Wang family, the Maitreya sect, or simply a foreign race
"when did it happen?"
"Three days ago."
Three days ago, the Wang family was the most likely candidate, and this place was not far from Langya.
But then again, Han Wubing exposed his martial arts because of this incident, but the fact that Tianyi Gang Pinghu would cause trouble for him may not be directly related to this. There may be other circumstances, and Han Wubing may be involved in other fights.
Because Jianhu City is a complete freak, there must be secrets inside.
Zhao Changhe pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Why is Jianhu City governed in this way now? Can Wei Zishou tell me more about it?"
