Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 238: Go north

Views:

Zhao Changhe didn't know why the young lady, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly got angry.

The atmosphere seemed like they could even touch mouth to mouth with the piglets, and they almost did.

As a result, she covered the pig's mouth with her hand and beat the pig's head.

Zhao Changhe crouched down with his head in his hands, feeling wronged: "Why are you hitting me for no reason..."

Zhuque didn't know how to explain his sudden outburst, so he could only be unreasonable: "Are you not convinced? If you have the ability, you can beat me first. Little brother is so weak that he can only be bullied, you know!"

Zhao Changhe held his head and glanced at her: "What you mean is, if I can beat you, then you will fight pigs against pigs?"

"Ha!" Zhuque sneered with his arms crossed: "You can beat me, but I'll take off my mask and fight you. Do you have what it takes?"

"I don't believe your bet anymore."

"Believe it or not!" Zhuque angrily grabbed his ears and lifted him up: "Stop pretending to be pitiful, we should leave now, how long do you want to stay in this shabby inn?"

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe thought to himself, if you hadn't suddenly gone crazy, we could have had another sweet night.

But we can really go now.

The main purpose of coming to Jianhu City was to verify whether the Heavenly Book could analyze some of the ancient plots in the Sword Room. Now it seems that there is no plot, but there is a lot of analysis of the sword meaning. I don’t have the opportunity to study it for the time being. But fortunately, I don’t need to take it out now, I can think about it when I have time.

Although I didn't accomplish my original purpose of coming to Jianhu City, I was able to dispel rumors by accident and help the Four Symbols Cult find the traitor. I can say that I have gained a lot. Now I can leave. Why should I stay here? Do I really want to compete with Sha Qi for the city lord

Staying longer would be dangerous...

Zhuque was also saying, "We entered the city unexpectedly, and the Wang family's pursuers or those from Tingxue Tower couldn't find your whereabouts. Yan Lianping secretly notified them, but they only had time to catch Qin Ruhui. Logically, there should be a stronger person arriving soon, maybe Wang Daozhong himself. It would be very dangerous to stay any longer."

He paused here and snorted again: "If it weren't for the fact that I was by your side, Yan Lianping would not have wanted to act rashly. He should have killed you immediately. It was clearly me who protected you, and you still said that you helped me..."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Changhe held her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Good sister, please continue to protect me."

After they finished speaking, they both froze for a moment, then looked down at their holding hands at the same time.

Suzaku actually didn't know why he never thought of dodging until he grabbed it and felt something was wrong.

Because he's so natural

Zhao Changhe also realized that it seemed like the first time he held this young lady's hand, but how could it be so natural...

I have to say that in this kind of martial arts fantasy world, having internal strength is a rip-off. In the modern world, if a young lady wields a sword, her hands must be rough, but not here. Whether it is Chi Chi or this person, their hands are soft and boneless, tender and smooth like fat...

“Bang!” While Zhuque was still savoring the experience, he finally reacted and threw him over his shoulder viciously: “Die, pervert!”

"Fuck..." Zhao Changhe covered his waist and said, "It's just a handshake. Are you guys still in the underworld? And you're a witch..."

"Does a demon girl have to let you touch her hand?" Zhuque squatted down and said in a friendly voice, "Then should I go out and shake hands with someone else?"

"you dare!"

"Bang!" A pile of books on the table hit Zhao Changhe on the head. "You are a witch to me, but a saint to others, right? Go to hell!"

Zhao Changhe twitched twice and then lay still.

"Stop pretending to be dead, and get out before night falls!" Zhuque picked him up and said, "The Venerable asked me to protect you, not to flirt with you!"

"Wait a moment." Zhao Changhe sighed and stood up: "I have to write a letter to Master Tang first."

Zhuque immediately felt uncomfortable and glanced at him sideways: "Just to report Wei Zicai's incident? You are really a diligent and good spy."

"No, my rumor cannot be limited to this place. It should be spread to many places. The court should have rich experience and sufficient resources to deal with such incidents. I have to let her deal with it. This is the most important gain from this trip to Jianhu..."

Zhuque stopped talking. Although he was upset when he saw him writing a letter to Tang Wanzhuang, he also knew that this matter was important.

But why do I feel more and more unhappy the more I watch it

At that time, she stabbed Luo Zhenwu to death with a knife, and she was on the opposite side of Tang Wanzhuang, and she was obviously on my side first. "Forget it." Zhuque curled his lips: "I will also write a letter to the Venerable. The Four Symbols Sect will also help you deal with the rumors. Our potential power spreads all over the world. Don't think that only Tang Wanzhuang can help you!"

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Who are you looking for to send a letter to the Venerable? People in Pinghu Society can no longer be trusted."

Is it okay that Your Excellency has received the letter? Zhuque stiffened his neck and said, "It's none of your business. Just take care of yourself. Other people in the Demon Suppression Division here may not be trustworthy. Who are you going to send the letter to? Oh, right..."

She suddenly remembered the best excuse for her to go to the capital: "I think Tang Wanzhuang will not stay in the south for long. She is likely to have returned to the capital by now. You have to go north anyway, so you might as well go to the capital to meet her in person."

Zhao Changhe never thought that this guy wanted to go back to Beijing to reveal his true identity. Hearing this, he felt that it made sense: "Yes, we are going north anyway, why not go to the capital first."

Zhuque had tricked him into going, but after hearing this, he hesitated: "Are you... really suitable to go? Do you need to disguise yourself?"

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "I was just passing by to do something. If this can arouse reactions from all parties, it would be too radical. To be honest, I don't like to disguise myself. This is just for the convenience of doing specific things such as investigating a case, not because I want to live under another identity. My parents gave me this face, and it's not shameful to show it to others."

Suzaku felt like an arrow had hit his knees, but he didn't say anything in rebuttal.

If the situation permits, who wouldn't want to appear before the public openly

In the afternoon, Wuzhui, carrying two pig heads, left Jianhu City and galloped northward.

Less than half an hour after the two men left, a swordsman in white appeared in the yard of the inn like a ghost. He frowned slightly when he saw the empty house, and soon disappeared in a flash.

A moment later, at Kangle Casino.

"Zhao Changhe? Of course he's gone. Do you think he's stupid?" Sha Qi leaned back in his chair and said, "You guys came too late to Tingxue Tower this time. The flowers are already cold."

The swordsman in white said, "It took some time to change people temporarily. As usual, I came to you to buy information. Where did he go?"

Sha Qi smiled and said, "Okay, it's the same old rule, one thousand taels."

The swordsman in white frowned, "Since when did even the information of people at the fifth or sixth level of the Xuanguan cost one thousand taels?"

"Then you might as well ask yourselves, since when did even a person at the fifth or sixth level of the Profound Gate need the help of the top fifty on the Human Ranking? You have opened a secret treasure, do you have any shame in bullying a person at the fifth or sixth level?"

The swordsman was silent for a moment, then handed over a banknote: "One thousand taels then."

"No problem, no problem." Sha Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "He went south."

The swordsman was stunned for a moment: "Why is he heading south again? Didn't he just leave from there?"

"This is what is meant by false and true. Did you guess that it was still Zhao Changhe? Anyway, I don't know the specific reason. I only know that he went south, and it is very likely that he went to Hangzhou. I guess he is going to the Maitreya Sect's base camp to cause some trouble?"

The swordsman nodded, as if trusting the credibility of his long-term partner, and disappeared without saying a word.

Finally someone couldn't help asking Sha Qi, "Master, you..."

"What's the matter? Are you afraid that we will lose our credibility? The South is so big, if he can't find anyone, he is a waste. What does it have to do with us?"

The subordinates thought to themselves that you are too... It would be fine if you could just fool others, but you even fooled yourself

If Zhao Changhe causes some trouble in the north in a few days, others will obviously know that they have been fooled. How can it be such a deception? What's the difference between this and falling out

The subordinate had no choice but to ask politely: "Young Master, why did you abandon your allies to protect Zhao Changhe?"

Sha Qi said: "Because I want to watch a show."

"Well?"

"Whether they go north to the capital or Yanmen, there will be drama everywhere. If Tingxue Tower is cut down halfway, where can I go to have fun?"

The subordinate was silent for a moment: "Master, he almost strangled you to death."

Sha Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up: "Where is that Eagle Frost just now? Quickly tell him to go north! I forgot!"

However, with the speed of the assassin on the Human Ranking, who can find him
