Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 376: I am here

Views:

Zhao Changhe and Tang Wanzhuang wandered around the city for a while. After making sure that there were no pursuers, they turned into the Da Zhou duck farm.

Hearing that a fierce battle had broken out in the Fairy Palace, Da Zhou was wandering around the courtyard anxiously. Suddenly, a bloody man and a fairy jumped down from the wall. He was stunned: "First, First Seat? Uh, Mr. Zhao..."

Zhao Changhe said: "Your place is not exposed, it is still a good hiding place... Arrange a secret room for us, we need to heal our wounds immediately."

The advantage of having your own people is that you don't have to worry about going out into the wilderness to face unpredictable changes. You can bring your own secret room and your own lookout.

"Follow me." Da Zhou immediately opened a cellar and turned on the mechanism inside, revealing a secret hut with a complete set of bedding. "I'm ashamed. I always felt like I had to hide in there someday. I didn't expect that it would actually make it easier for Mr. Zhao to heal his wounds..."

"It's not me who needs it, it's your Tang Master." Zhao Changhe paused, looked at Tang Wanzhuang, and said seriously, "Have you opened half of your third secret treasure? It seems that you dealt with Maitreya so easily, something is wrong."

Tang Wanzhuang had been smiling as she watched Zhao Changhe and Da Zhou connect. Only then did she smile and say, "It's not fully open, fortunately..."

Zhao Changhe stared at her with a stern face without saying a word.

Tang Wanzhuang was actually a little afraid of his stern face so she didn't look at him and turned her head slightly away: "I'll just take a rest for a while, what's with that expression?"

"Are you sure it's okay to just rest for a while?"

"Um."

"Then I won't go in with you to help you heal your wounds." Zhao Changhe said seriously: "I have something important to deal with."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "Yeah."

She didn't ask Zhao Changhe what he was going to do, nor did she tell him her analysis. Zhao Changhe didn't say much, just said: "Don't be stubborn, you don't need to fight hard now, the world won't stop turning without you."

Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful eyes moved: "Is that so..."

Zhao Changhe glared at her unhappily, said nothing, and disappeared.

Tang Wanzhuang knew what he didn't say - "I'm here."

Ever since he shouted “Li Si’an has been rescued” outside, Tang Wanzhuang felt that Zhao Changhe knew more about the situation than she did.

On the way here, she was still wondering in her heart whether Zhao Changhe would use the excuse of "helping you heal your wounds" to let the two of them fall into that kind of charming atmosphere again... As it turned out, he had never even thought about it.

The chaos in Xiangyang will not improve without you.

I am here.

The prince that was once expected to be like that was becoming more and more like that... When he rode his horse to the northern border, he was already involved in the game.

It’s for the country...

"Master, Master?" Da Zhou's voice awakened Tang Wanzhuang from her deep thought. She coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I need to rest."

Do you need a rest? Da Zhou looked at her speechlessly, and then asked: "When did this Mr. Zhao Wangtang enter the Demon Suppression Division? He should be a master on the Human Ranking, why is he unknown in the world?"

Tang Wanzhuang: “?”

Da Zhou: “?”

Tang Wanzhuang: "What did you call him?"

"Zhao, Zhao Wangtang."

Tang Wanzhuang's face turned red. She didn't reply for a long time. She turned away and went into the secret room, then closed the secret door with a bang.

You say it’s for the country and family, what does this name mean

Da Zhou stood outside and thought for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

What the hell is Zhao Wangtang? This is clearly Zhao Changhe. As for which Tang he is looking at? Seeing someone blushing just now, there is no need to explain it anymore.

… …

"I really didn't expect that a fifth place on the Earth Ranking, two people on the Human Ranking, more than ten top masters at the eighth and ninth levels of the Mysterious Gate, and thousands of powerful bows and crossbows could not even force Tang Wanzhuang to unlock the third level of her secret treasure."

In the Immortal Palace, the familiar Wang Daozhong paced back and forth in the hall: "It's a pity that we dare not take action ourselves. The Book of Chaos will inform the world... Who would have thought that Maitreya would be such a waste and waste such a good opportunity."

It was indeed the only chance. Tang Wanzhuang came to Xiangyang alone because she thought that the Wang and Yang families would never attack her no matter what. Who could have thought that this group of people was planning to kill people through Maitreya

The person who played the role of the matchmaker was Lu Shiheng.

The Wang family thought that Lv Shiheng was cooperating with them, trying to appease Maitreya, and killing someone with a borrowed knife; but Maitreya thought that Lv Shiheng was controlled by the goddess, as for who was right... In fact, neither was true.

Xiangyang was just a city, sandwiched between the Wang family and the Maitreya sect. Lu Shiheng knew that it was impossible for him to be independent, so he could only choose one of them. The two sides competed for Xiangyang, and whoever had a greater chance of winning would win, so he cooperated with both sides and completed the task very well. Until now, both sides still regarded him as their own.

And if they can achieve a situation where both sides suffer losses, then it is not impossible for him to take advantage of the situation and rise. It all depends on how the situation evolves. No matter how it changes, if Tang Wanzhuang dies, it will be a great benefit to these ambitious people.

As long as Tang Wanzhuang falls, who will support Da Xia

Some people don't want a chaotic world where people's lives are as miserable as grass.

Some people just hope that troubled times will come soon.

Wang Daozhong was still complaining: "I don't know why this woman Zhuque is so reserved. 'The victory between me and Tang Wanzhuang will not be decided by a rat'. Damn it, you have such a warrior's heart, why don't you challenge Tang Wanzhuang! You are hiding your head and showing your tail, who is the rat!"

Lu Shiheng thought to himself, if you have the guts to say this, just say it in front of her. I also want to know who the rat is.

He finally couldn't help but interrupt Wang Daozhong's complaints: "Second Master, what should we do now?"

Wang Daozhong said, "Wait. Yang Jingzheng is crossing the river. When he arrives, we can stop the troops stationed outside. It is impossible for them to break through the fortified city of Xiangyang."

There are actually quite a lot of soldiers here. At least Xiangyang City alone is not easy to defend. The defeat at Taihu Lake basically broke the momentum of Maitreya. Now the only hope is to occupy Jingchu. It can be said that the whole army is betting here.

But if the Yang family goes south and joins forces with the Xiangyang troops, then Maitreya's troops will not be enough.

What Lu Shiheng wanted to know was not this, so he asked, "What about Tang Wanzhuang? She ran away... I really did hit her! When the time comes, if they investigate... can I just stand on my own?"

"Anyway, I haven't been exposed. When the time comes, you just need to say that you are controlled by Maitreya. The court will naturally oppose you, and she can't pursue anything. In fact, at a certain point, she won't be able to pursue it..."

Lu Shiheng frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. Just as he was about to say something, a personal soldier outside came to report: "City Lord! Stop the night attack by the army, it is already 20 miles away from the south gate!"

Lu Shiheng nodded and said to Wang Daozhong: "Second Master, please sit down. I will personally go to guard the city."

Whether to defend the city or open it will be decided when the time comes.

Before anyone left the house, another soldier came in a hurry to report: "Lord of the city, a large number of boats appeared on the Han River and are crossing the river!"

Wang Daozhong said: "It's the Yang family's troops. It's just right to let them come to assist in defense..."

Before he finished speaking, another soldier rushed in: "City Lord! A group of people came out from somewhere upstream and rushed into our camp on the shore, killing everyone they saw, like a group of lunatics!"

Lu Shiheng looked at Wang Daozhong in surprise, and Wang Daozhong also looked at him in surprise.

Where do these troops come from

Wang Daozhong also made a prompt decision: "You go guard the south gate, I'll go to the north to see what's going on."

… …

On the south bank of the Han River, flames shot up into the sky.

Before the civil war broke out completely, the banks of the Han River did not serve as a defense. The camps here were just symbolic naval camps. Only in recent years did Lu Shiheng begin to secretly develop them and quietly prepare for civil war.

But in the end, it never reached a large scale and there was no war.

When Xue Canghai led the Blood God Cult followers like a group of tigers out of a cage, they razed the camp to the ground in a short while.

A bunch of psychopaths from the Blood God Cult were ecstatic about killing: "Is there anyone else? My blood evil is about to break through. Hahaha, killing people is really the best way to cultivate evil!"

The remaining soldiers only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs, and they ran towards the city in a panic.

Where did these bloodthirsty demons come from? They are not here to fight at all, they are here purely to kill!

"Stop chasing us, you bastards! We said the doctrine will be changed, but you are still clinging to the old calendar!" Instructor Sun cursed angrily, "No chasing, no attack on the city! Head north and block the river bank!"

Xue Canghai's voice spread throughout the army: "Search the camp, there must be rockets in the water camp! Do you see those dark ships over there? Shoot them for me!"

Yang Jingxiu, the head of the Hongnong Yang family and the tenth on the Earth List, stood at the bow, frowning as he looked at the fire.

Has something changed

The Maitreya Cult actually colluded with another gang in advance to seize the camp and block the river bank... Judging from this momentum, the Blood God Cult, Xue Canghai

Yang Bugui, the eldest son beside him, whispered, "Father, it's Xue Canghai."

Yang Jingxiu glanced at him and said, "Haven't you always said you wanted to challenge Master Xue? Now he's in front of me, do you want to give it a try?"

Yang Bugui said, "This is not the right time, father. There is something fishy going on in this situation. The Blood God Cult is a subordinate of the Four Symbols Cult. We are in alliance with the Four Symbols Cult. Why would the Blood God Cult attack us?"

Yang Jingxiu frowned tightly, he was also puzzled by this matter.

If it weren't for the Four Elephants Sect doing Yang Qianyuan a favor, he actually didn't want to send troops. Fighting for hegemony in troubled times was not in the interests of his family. He didn't want to occupy Xiangyang, and it didn't matter to him whether Xiangyang was conquered by Maitreya.

It was just that the Wang family wanted to keep the important place of Xiangyang, and they were too far away to reach it, so they wanted him to send troops to help defend it. This was purely to help the Wang family. Before, Zhao Changhe also felt that Yang Qianyuan was not enough to make the Yang family form an alliance. It was indeed not the case. It was just to exchange this for sending troops to help defend it, which was still acceptable.

But what are you saying now? The Four Elephants Sect helped us catch the traitor in exchange for our sending troops to assist in the defense, but your own subordinates from the Four Elephants Sect blocked us at the shore and wouldn't let us pass

The Yang family father and son were confused, but unfortunately the people from the Four Symbols Sect claimed that they "would not team up with rats to deal with Tang Wanzhuang", so they ran away... Now following behind him was an ordinary representative of the Four Symbols Sect, who was also dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, Wang Daozhong rushed in from the city, like an eagle striking the palace, and went straight to Xue Canghai in the formation: "So you are the world-famous Blood God Sect's leader Xue, I will exorcise the demon today!"

Xue Canghai looked up at Wang Daozhong flying under the moon, with a deep murderous look in his eyes: "Fuck you, you all think I'm a soft persimmon, go home and surrender to your mother!"

The people who were transmitting their skills and guarding the Dharma surrounded Xue Canghai and quickly formed a formation.

This is the Blood God Formation developed in imitation of the sacred array, arranged by humans. It is filled with blood and evil, and its power is extremely brutal.

The Blood God Sword flew up and slashed upwards. Xue Canghai, who was blessed by the formation, and Wang Daozhong fought fiercely. The loud sound of the swords clashing spread throughout the Han River.

Xue Canghai fell backwards, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Second level secret treasure, is that it?"

Wang Daozhong was knocked back in mid-air, looking extremely shocked.

This fierce sword force, this fearless aura, is this person Xue Canghai

Isn’t it Zhao Changhe who is pretending to be him

Just as I was thinking of Zhao Changhe, I heard his voice from a distance: "Hey, Mr. Wang is practicing moves with my friend?"

Wang Daozhong turned his head suddenly and saw Zhao Changhe slid over from behind and directly slipped into the Blood God Cult's army formation. He protected himself tightly, then poked his head out and said with a smile: "Mr. Daozhong, Uncle Yang, you have spared no effort to fight against Maitreya. We, the Demon Suppression Division, know about this righteous act."

Li Si'an's head suddenly popped up behind Xue Canghai: "Yes, our Demon Suppression Division will spread the news to the world and praise your righteous deeds."

Zhao Changhe continued like a crosstalk: "Maitreya is attacking the city from the south gate. I think Uncle Yang and Mr. Daozhong can hold him off if they join forces?"

Wang Daozhong looked at Zhao Changhe and Li Si'an who were hiding in the military formation like turtles, with anger in his eyes that he had no way to vent.

How did this turn out

Being put on the spot by public opinion, are they really going to fight against Maitreya...

By the way, Yang Jingxiu won’t listen to your nonsense. He will turn around and leave. Let’s see what you will do

But Zhao Changhe shouted into the river: "Uncle Yang, I was the one who caught Yang Qianyuan. This is just a small token of my respect."

Yang Jingxiu: "...Brother Daozhong, if you and I attack Maitreya together, it will be a very satisfying thing. How about we go together?"

Wang Daozhong had a lot of swear words in his heart, but he didn't know how to say them.

It was you who captured Yang Qianyuan, right? Then what does it mean to capture Yang Qianyuan in the Legend of Kunlun

It seems like there's a case about to be solved.

But there was no point in solving the case at this time. The more crucial thing was that Yang Jingxiu and his son had already reached the shore. Under their witness, he had to beat the Maitreya in Wang Daozhong.

"You two are indeed righteous." Zhao Changhe's laughter came from the army formation: "Blood God Cult, listen to my order, all troops will go around the south gate, target - Maitreya's flank!"
