Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 391: The First and the Venerable

Views:

The next morning, Tang Wanzhuang received the new governor who had just been sent by the court. She was too lazy to even attend a lunch banquet, so she took Baoqin and Zhao Changhe and left the city to the north, heading straight for Hongnong.

"Isn't it a bit bad that you didn't even give the new governor any face?" Zhao Changhe couldn't help but ask on the way.

Tang Wanzhuang had a blank expression on her face and said nothing.

She was still whimpering last night, and now she’s pretending again. Zhao Changhe really doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Forget it, let her pretend if she wants to. She’s quite cute…

Baoqin whispered beside him, "Fool. The young lady has always been aloof and silent in front of others, and never attends any social events. Others are used to it, do you think she is the same as she is in front of you?"

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Tang Wanzhuang gritted her teeth secretly: "Hold the zither."

"Ah, miss..."

"You should hurry up and go to the front to take the lead and see if there are any hostages."

"…" Why look for a place to stay in the broad daylight? Besides, everyone is familiar with this road. Baoqin didn't dare to expose it. She sniffed and rode forward quickly, not acting like a lantern.

I just hope that the dark life now will pass quickly. When will the young lady put down her mouth that is harder than the braised duck of Da Zhou? Then we will all feel more comfortable...

Zhao Changhe could roughly understand Tang Wanzhuang's feelings... Before his forceful kiss, they only had a good impression of each other, far from being in love. Originally, she was pleased to see the prince she had created ascend to the throne, and she felt that she could die with a smile on her face. Before that moment, Tang Wanzhuang really had never thought about love.

As a result, when I confessed my feelings, it was obvious that I was doing all these things for you, and I would not do it if you died. How would Tang Wanzhuang feel at that time

No matter how you think about it, it's too complicated to express in words.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to treat her illness, he took the opportunity to kiss her. She didn't react at the time, and he felt ashamed and angry afterwards, but he couldn't bear to kill her. What should he do

It's just domestic violence...

It seems like she's used to it now, but in fact Tang Wanzhuang didn't understand from the beginning to the end whether she was in love or not, so wasn't her acting just tough... To be honest, it couldn't be considered tough at all, but she really felt that she didn't think that way.

That's why I have to become a master and try to suppress the relationship.

Zhao Changhe felt that he could really touch the Heavenly Ranking in this aspect now... Look at what he has been doing these days, accompanying, playing the piano, reading, and having trysts in the garden.

I did everything a couple in love should do, and after more than ten days, I slowly gave her the feeling that we were in love.

Obviously, Tang Wanzhuang didn't need to go to Hongnong. She would be better off resting in Xiangyang. Why did they invite her? It was just to spend more time with her. Besides staying at home, traveling together and doing something serious together was also a great experience.

With this level, let alone the Heavenly Ranking, is there an Earthly Ranking

Sigh, men's progress in this kind of thing is truly rapid.

I've never seen Tang Wanzhuang riding a horse before, and she always looked like a fairy with her light skills and fluttering clothes. This time, she and Baoqin rode a horse each, and suddenly she looked cool, and she looked much younger and more energetic, with a different kind of beauty.

"What are you looking at? How can you stare at people even when you're riding a horse? Look at the road!"

"I have eyes and ears, so I don't need to look at the road."

"You are not allowed to look at me!"

“You are my path.”

"Ugh..."

If she doesn't have any feelings for you, when she hears cheesy love words she will just think, "Who understands? This man is such a loser." But if she likes you, no matter how cheesy the love words are, she will be happy in her heart, no matter how much she wants to vomit on her face, her flustered and embarrassed eyes will reveal everything.

The prerequisite is that she has to bite the bullet and face Baoqin's bear-like look. She really wants to vomit.

Fortunately, Baoqin was sent to explore the way ahead this time... Hey, why hasn’t he come back yet

Suddenly, smoke and dust rose in front of her. Tang Wanzhuang's face changed slightly and she reined in her horse.

Zhao Changhe reined in his horse and looked, his heart also skipping a beat.

In the smoke and dust, someone in red clothes like fire, with a face covered by a firebird, came in the wind and was in front of her in an instant. She held the harp in her hands, like a salted fish swaying in the wind.

The Venerable Suzaku.

Tang Wanzhuang took a deep breath and said calmly, "Suzaku, when did you start lowering yourself to pick a fight with a maid?"

Zhuque looked her up and down, the emotions in his eyes were all kinds of things, so wonderful that it was hard to describe. It was said that it was not strange that I had a problem with this girl. When I was fighting with you, this girl was so sharp-tongued that I wanted to slap her for a long time.

Unfortunately, Zhao Changhe and Tang Wanzhuang were both worried about Baoqin and didn't analyze this wonderful look carefully. Zhao Changhe also clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know how this girl offended you. Please don't bother with her."

I don't care about her, I just want to care about you!

Huangfu Qing became furious when he heard his voice. What do you think I am here for

I knew you would come to Hongnong to attend Yang Jingxiu's birthday party, so I happily waited for you on the road to go with you!

So you're wearing Tang Wan makeup

Look at those two walking side by side, with their little greed almost overflowing from the corners of their eyes... Tsk.

I could have used Huangfu Qing's identity, but now I don't dare to do that. Zhao Changhe might not be that sensitive, but Tang Wanzhuang definitely knew that Huangfu Qing's identity made it impossible for him to go to Yang Jingxiu's birthday party in person. Huangfu Qing couldn't show up, so it had to be Zhuque.

Being Suzaku means that he can only watch him and Tang Wanzhuang "face the enemy side by side", and he himself is the enemy.

The feeling is really indescribable.

She leisurely lifted Baoqin, and with her other hand she touched and pinched Baoqin's body here and there, and then slapped Baoqin's butt viciously, saying, "The little girl is young, but she's starting to show some potential."

Tang Wanzhuang: “?”

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Zhuque stared into Tang Wanzhuang's eyes, his gaze becoming fierce: "I wonder if Lord Tang can guess that Yang Jingxiu's troops entered Xiangyang at my invitation."

Tang Wanzhuang said: "Yes, Xiangyang cannot stop Maitreya, and the Wang family is out of reach, so they invited the Yang family to go south to help defend... They also used the favor of capturing Yang Qianyuan. Your Excellency's move to help resist Maitreya is very righteous."

Zhuque was furious. I am not loyal to you, Yuntian!

If we really want to talk about righteousness, this wave is actually helping the Wang family. After all, the Four Symbols Sect is still the rebel alliance of the Wang family. Previously, because of Zhao Changhe's incident, the Wang family repeatedly obstructed their work and beat Wang Daozhong, which led to a crack in the alliance relationship. This is also a chance to make up for it. And the subsequent plan is to change the mountains and rivers and blossom in multiple places, among which Xiangyang is an important link, of course it cannot be occupied by Maitreya.

Originally, Zhuque himself wanted to go south to beat Maitreya, but the Wang family planned to use Maitreya to kill Tang Wanzhuang first...

Zhuque would be happy to see Tang Wanzhuang being killed, but there is one thing: I will not join others in attacking Tang Wanzhuang. Even if I kill her, it will prove that I am weaker than her. She is just dreaming!

So she said, "The victory or defeat between me and Tang Wanzhuang will not be decided by the hands of a rat," and she did not participate in the entire Battle of Xiangyang.

As a result, we heard that Zhao Changhe rode into the city alone, rescued the spy, and met Tang Wanzhuang, and was later beheaded in the battle. He also killed Lu Shiheng in front of Wang Daozhong. Xiangyang changed color and the name of the city was changed to Zhao.

Upon hearing the news, Zhuque felt both relieved and troubled. He was relieved that his vision was correct, but he was troubled because what this little man did seemed to be in a royalist way. Everyone had conflicting positions. What should he do in the future

That’s right, he is the prince.

And the Blood God Cult listened to him, it was really weird... Of course, this cannot prove that the Blood God Cult betrayed, after all, I did not issue any instructions to the Blood God Cult in this matter. The Blood God Cult has the power of church autonomy, and it is very normal for them to welcome the Son of God and change their doctrines. But it can basically prove that it is only one step away from betrayal.

I, I have already helped you with that, and you turn around and steal my girl

It was not until now that I realized that there was actually no other reason, whether it was to protect the emperor or to poach talents, it was because Tang Wanzhuang personally took action and seduced him!

"I don't have any sense of loyalty, and if I did, I wouldn't use it against Lord Tang... Lord Tang, don't you know that Xiangyang is what I want?" Zhuque's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth: "They tried to frame Lord Tang, and I didn't participate because I didn't want to lose my status. I didn't expect Lord Tang to go out of Xiangyang alone. Did you really think I wouldn't kill anyone?"

Zhao Changhe raised his hand.

Zhuque glanced over and said, "Are you trying to say that I am not alone with you here? I will slowly settle the score with you. You can choose whether to be skinned or torn apart."

She has reached the third level of secret hiding... Zhao Changhe really can't interfere with her battle.

Tang Wanzhuang had a serious look on her face, thinking to herself that it was quite normal for Suzaku to come and kill her. Fortunately, she came out with Zhao Changhe, because if Zhao Changhe was intercepted by Suzaku alone, he would be doomed.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since Your Excellency is aware of my identity, then let the little girl go first. If you want to give me some advice on my evening makeup later... I will accompany you!"

Zhuque threw the zither at Tang Wanzhuang.

Tang Wanzhuang stretched out her hand to catch it, and the next moment the Vermilion Bird soared into the sky like a phoenix, with raging flames swooping down.

Just as the decisive battle was about to begin, Zhao Changhe's voice suddenly came from the side: "Venerable Suzaku, let me show you something."

Suzaku glanced over.

A pitch-black token that looks nothing special at first glance.

But Zhuque urgently retracted his energy and turned to the side of the road before confronting Tang Wanzhuang. With a "bang", the trees on the roadside were destroyed and smoke and dust filled the sky.

Zhuque stood there in shock, unable to believe: "Where did you get the Night Emperor's order!"
