Although he had met Yang Bugui once, Zhao Changhe said, "So it was you... I met Brother Zhixing a few days ago, and he mentioned you."
Yang Zhixing, the head of the Yang family, Wang Daozhong’s identity must be connected to the head of the family...
Yang Qianyuan thought that "Wang Daozhong" must be aware of his appearance and that's why he didn't dare to hide it. God knows this guy has never paid attention to what the wanted poster looks like
Instead, Zhao Changhe himself felt guilty at the moment. Hasn't Yang Qianyuan ever met Wang Daozhong? His makeup was just the usual yellow-faced one, mainly to cover up the scar. He still looked like a young man, which was very different from Wang Daozhong.
How could Yang Qianyuan, a concubine's son, be qualified to meet Wang Daozhong, although he also felt that Wang Daozhong was too young... However, the Earth Ranking masters might have the secret to maintain their youth, so he dared not act rashly no matter how suspicious he was, and could only smile: "Because it is the senior who is here, I dare not hide anything. In fact, everyone here hides their real names, and most people don't know who is who. It is possible that a passerby on the street may be the great demon who once terrified the world."
Zhao Changhe sneered, "Just say it, it's no big deal, don't worry, I'm not here to catch you anyway."
"That's right, that's right. The Yang family is not qualified to ask Senior to come all the way to catch someone." Yang Qianyuan said: "But it is really rare for someone like Senior to come to a place like this..."
Zhao Changhe said, "Why? Are all those who can't make it here running here to seek refuge? Kunlun has been a place of many legends since ancient times. As far as I know, many people have come here to look for treasures. Yuxu Palace can only manage nearby mountains, can it manage such a large area around it?"
"There were more in the past, but now there are fewer and fewer. Who would dare to come here so easily when there are so many demons rampaging around? Well, at first we thought that you were just a man of the world who came here to try his luck in treasure hunting, but since you are Senior Wang, you shouldn't come to a place like this to hunt for treasure in person. Could it be that you are looking for someone?"
"Why not?"
"First, you have many people to command, so you don't need to go into danger yourself. Second, given your status, you can go directly to Yuxu Palace to pay a visit. Why do you have to come to this transit city at the foot of the mountain?"
"Transfer..." Zhao Changhe asked, "What does this mean?"
"Da Xia is easy to bully, but Tang Wanzhuang is not. Who dares to ignore the Demon Suppression Division that she presides over? For example, they set up a plot, portraying their trusted subordinates as unforgivable people, escaping here, and acting as an insider. This is a very normal method. In the past, someone was sent in to get acquainted with a big demon, and then he was deceived out with great trust. As a result, Tang Wanzhuang was lurking outside, and the Demon Suppression Division rushed over and captured her. By the time Yuxu Zhenren found out, the people were already hundreds of miles away."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Yang Qianyuan sighed: "So not everyone can enter Kunlun. All new refugees must stay in the city and be observed. Only after their identities are confirmed can they be accepted into the mountain."
Zhao Changhe nodded and said, "I see... That's quite interesting. We wouldn't know this if we hadn't been there in person."
"Every place has its own ways, it's normal for the outside world not to know." Yang Qianyuan said: "In fact, over time, as more people live in the city, there is no need to go into the mountains. Life in the city is convenient, with food, drink, whoring and gambling. Anyway, there are many bad people gathered here, and the government and enemies dare not come easily. There is no difference, so why go into the mountains? So now most of the refugees stay in the city."
"It's still a little different, isn't it?" Zhao Changhe said, "If you all go into the mountains, you'll be considered a group and organized into a force. That's what the reason for accepting villains is. What's the point of you killing each other in the city like this to Master Yuxu?"
"It's almost the same now, except that outsiders are not treated as human beings. Once they can stay in the city, they won't attack each other for no reason. Everyone needs such a place to live, so what will happen if they just kill people randomly... Of course, no one has ever set up such rules, it all depends on one's own grasp. However, if someone wants to do something to unify the whole city, Yuxu Zhenren will chop off his head that day, because that is his reverse scale. He doesn't ask about other things, just collects taxes and resources, and sometimes drives people to work, just like a king."
"So..." Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "But why would Master Yuxu go to so much trouble? Even if he declares himself as the emperor, what can Tang Wanzhuang do?"
Yang Qianyuan seemed to understand: "So the reason why you came here is to communicate with Master Yuxu."
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment by what he said, thinking to himself that he was worthy of being born in a noble family. I didn't expect such a way of thinking. Thank you for providing a good excuse, which made it very reasonable for Wang Daozhong to appear here.
He said with a reserved look: "Yes, this is exactly why I came here. I just want to go into the city and take a rest first."
Yang Qianyuan said: "In the past, Xia Longyuan had a high deterrent power, so Yuxu Zhenren acted cautiously, which was understandable. But now Xia Longyuan is like this, but Yuxu Zhenren still doesn't dare to do it. He still does things in the same style as before. We don't know what he is afraid of. Maybe I haven't entered the mountain yet and don't know the inside story."
Zhao Changhe frowned slightly: "In this case... I can go directly into the mountain, so I won't be unable to see anyone, right?"
Yang Qianyuan smiled apologetically and said, "I don't know about this. After all, I have never been to the mountain."
Zhao Changhe nodded: "You seem to be doing well here. You haven't been here for long, right? You look like the leader of a faction?"
Yang Qianyuan said, "Well, what kind of leader am I? I just came in and offered the Yang family's skills to seek shelter under the East City Jinqian Gang. Gang leader Qian saw that I had some skills, so he gave me a small business to take charge of. In fact, as I said just now, there are basically no outsiders here. This business is bland and tasteless. Sometimes I can't even have enough to eat." Zhao Changhe looked like an elder and asked, "Then what? You have been doing this tasteless business to make a living. Is it worse than staying at home? Do you regret it at all?"
Yang Qianyuan had a blank expression on his face: "There is always a price to pay for doing things. Now is the price, I know it clearly. Anyway, the road is not blocked yet. What if I can be favored by Yuxu Zhenren and taught a few tricks? Who knows if I won't be able to fight back one day? Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west."
Zhao Changhe laughed, "That's interesting. Now I am your guest. You can arrange for me to be a guide. If you can serve me to my satisfaction, at least you won't go hungry this month. If you meet Master Yuxu, I can also say a few good words for you if it's appropriate."
After saying this, he flipped his wrist and a piece of silver fell on the table, embedded perfectly in the surface, neither concave nor convex, as if the table was originally designed like this.
Yang Qianyuan's last bit of suspicion disappeared after seeing this.
This kind of force control is fine, he can do it himself, but he is not so calm. The real key is that he recognized that this is the meaning of Wang family's Pai Tian Zhen Hai Palm.
Yang Qianyuan bent his waist even more: "Senior, do you want to go for a walk in the city? Where do you want to go first? I will lead the way."
Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any prostitutes here?"
Yang Qianyuan smiled like a fellow traveler: "Of course there is, senior, please follow me."
In fact, what Zhao Changhe wanted to find was not a brothel, but a casino, but he didn't want to get too straight to the point and had to take a few detours. Most of the time, brothels and casinos are inseparable. Where there are brothels, there are always casinos, at least nearby.
The natural purpose of going to the casino was to find Ying Wu's forces. It was not enough to just listen to Yang Qianyuan's words, he had to find someone to verify it. Moreover, he did not dare to ask Yang Qianyuan about his true intentions. Yang Qianyuan was just a guide and stepping stone for him to find trustworthy people.
The main problem is that the people from Yingwu are not necessarily here to run a casino openly. Yuxu Zhenren is not an idiot. Accepting villains is useful to him, but why would he accept another Tianbang force? Would it make him uncomfortable
Even if Ying Wu's people were here, they would only hide their identities and use other methods. Sanniang didn't even say how to find them, which only proved that at that time Sanniang didn't think of Zhao Changhe as her own. This kind of situation of lurking in other people's forces was a secret, and it was indeed not easy to disclose it casually.
But on the other hand, when I showed up riding on a black horse and carrying a broadsword, no one expected that this was Zhao Changhe. The people from Yingwu should have known about this and would come to contact me, right? As long as I acted like I was looking for a casino, I would be noticed by the people from Yingwu.
Just as I was thinking this, we arrived at the brothel.
The beautiful girls immediately surrounded him, each soliciting customers: "Sir, come over to our side..."
"Master, don't listen to her, our kung fu is better..."
"We have a girl getting dressed tonight, don't you want to come and see her?"
Zhao Changhe looked around with an expressionless face.
He didn't see the casino he wanted to see. Instead, the whole street was full of brothels, where people were soliciting customers from each other. The mountains and hills were about to fall on his face.
Zhao Changhe finally got out of the turbulent waves and hugged someone at random: "What the hell! It's you!"
The words froze in his mouth before he could finish them.
At the corner of the street, a young man dressed in men's clothes and patting a folding fan was leisurely entering another brothel surrounded by a group of prostitutes. His posture was extremely relaxed and it was obvious that he was an experienced person.
But that's a shitty old driver.
Even if he turned into ashes, Zhao Changhe could recognize him, the senior brother of that year, Luo Qi of that year.
