Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 425: Drink this half cup of tea

Views:

"Tell me, how did you plan to steal someone's property in the middle of the night?"

In Tang Wanzhuang's yard, Tang Wanzhuang brewed tea with her bare hands. The fragrance of tea lingered in the air, floating in the moonlight and dispersing into the void.

How could Zhao Changhe not want to drink tea or wine at this moment? He sat there with a very elegant look on his face, and he was almost shaking his head and reciting a poem.

If Tang Buqi saw this miserable look, his expression would probably turn into sweat.

Tang Wanzhuang seemed to be making tea elegantly, but what she said was not elegant at all, which made Zhao Changhe sweat profusely: "How, how did it become stealing beauty and jade? I can't find Qi to talk to..."

"You're really looking for a fool, aren't you?" Tang Wanzhuang smiled, "Who is supposed to be living in that room in your mind?"

Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's just the commander who's staying here!"

"In fact, His Majesty ordered me to take charge of Jiangnan affairs. I was the one who gave Buqi the position of commander. I am the real commander." Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful eyes moved around his face for a long time: "Don't tell me you don't know?"

"Ah, I forgot." Zhao Changhe took the opportunity to ask: "Then why do you live in this remote corner?"

"I intentionally highlighted Buqi and created his image and status as a coach in the minds of the soldiers. After all, I..."

Zhao Changhe's embarrassment turned into displeasure, and he stared at her without saying a word.

Tang Wanzhuang interrupted her subsequent words and lowered her head to drink tea.

If you want to praise someone, that's fine of course, and it's normal to train the younger generation to be the backbone of the family, but it shouldn't be based on "after all, I won't live long". It makes me angry just to hear that.

At the same time, the two of them cursed in their hearts: "You stinky woman, you dare to open the third secret treasure casually. When you are out of strength, I will show you how I will deal with you! Show it in front of the Suzaku Venerable, the Venerable will definitely be very happy!"

Tang Wanzhuang's face turned red involuntarily, but she couldn't scold him. In order to prevent herself from opening the third secret treasure, the price he paid was that he was stabbed by Fa Chi. If he had a normal body, he would not be able to get out of bed until he had to lie down for a month, so how could he come out to steal jade and fragrance.

She whispered, "How are your injuries?"

"It's OK. Someone has good medicine."

Tang Wanzhuang pursed her lips and said, "It must be the medicine of the Four Elephants Sect... My medicine soup doesn't have such an effect, I know it."

Why does this sound a bit sour

Sure enough, the next sentence was: "The Four Symbols Sect has everything. Is it useless for me to be their teacher? Go with them. It's best to help them, Suzaku Venerable, beat me!"

Zhao Changhe was taking a sip of tea when he heard this and almost choked. He coughed and said, "What are you talking about..."

Tang Wanzhuang said angrily, "How dare you say that one of the topics you came to me about was not to fight for their right to interrogate the remnant soul?"

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe could only say, "This is what I should do. They joined the battle just to gain a deeper understanding of the Ancient Soul. They fought with all their heart and soul, and they fought until their mouths bled. The promised benefits should be paid."

Tang Wanzhuang snorted: "Then I will give it to them myself. Why do I need you to lobby for them?"

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Tang Wanzhuang continued, "In fact, they are interrogating the remnant soul now. I gave it to them directly. They can ask whatever they want. You don't need to say anything. Did you hear me? You don't need to say anything!"

Zhao Changhe was staring at the little girl's behavior.

Tang Wanzhuang shut up and glared at him angrily. In fact, she was a little proud inside. Tang Wanzhuang wanted to paint a picture at this moment, and it was called "Suzaku Asking Ghosts".

Instead, Zhao Changhe began to worry about her: "Hey, if you just ask them casually like this, what if you really get taken away?"

Tang Wanzhuang drank her tea nonchalantly: "Only the ruffians and evil followers of the demon sect regard these ancient souls as treasures. We have seen them before. How can we be as ignorant as these country girls? If they really want to steal, let them steal. I am not the one who will be embarrassed."

Zhao Changhe's expression twitched and he remained silent.

Tang Wanzhuang said, "Yuan Cheng went to see Bu Qi just now. Do you know why?"

Zhao Changhe pondered and said, "Do they want the lotus platform? There is only one lotus platform. Even though they have contributed, it would not be good for them to monopolize it. They would not be able to explain to others."

"Yuan Cheng also knows that he can't take it all for himself. This is the spoils of war of the imperial court. He has helped and can share some of the rewards, but he can't take the lion's share. Unless they are as shameless as the Si Xiang Sect's aunt and steal it?"

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but said: "Hey, I haven't stolen it yet..."

Tang Wanzhuang pretended not to hear: "I promised him that he would ask His Majesty for an imperial edict to cancel the previous decree to destroy Buddhism... Although this decree has been relaxed in recent years, and Buddhism has been revived in various places, it is still different whether there is a formal decree or not."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "It just so happens that by using the excuse of the Buddhists helping to destroy the Maitreya sect, we can put the blame on Maitreya for the destruction of Buddhism in the past. We can say that it was because of the Maitreya cult that misled people that the emperor destroyed Buddhism. Now that Maitreya has been decided, the emperor also knows that not every Buddhist sect is like this, so he naturally cancels it..."

Tang Wanzhuang laughed, but did not comment on his statement. She continued, "As for the lotus platform, it is placed in the Demon Suppression Division in the capital. If they want to gain enlightenment, they can go to the capital to gain enlightenment."

Zhao Changhe smacked his lips: "I've got it figured out. This is..."

Tang Wanzhuang's eyes flickered as she said softly, "It's all your credit. Do you want a reward?"

Zhao Changhe looked at her intently.

There was no need to say anything, Tang Wanzhuang's words were tantamount to teasing.

Who doesn't know what reward he wants

Tang Wanzhuang continued, "We studied the lotus platform and found that if we take one or two petals, it will not affect the whole. You can take one..." Zhao Changhe said unhappily, "Why do I need that?"

"The nature of this item must be useful to your Blood Shura Body. Just tell me whether you want it or not." Tang Wanzhuang sipped her tea leisurely: "Otherwise, speaking of the Lotus Platform, what other rewards can it be?"

“…” Zhao Changhe thought to himself that this woman seemed to be starting to learn bad things.

She will tease people maliciously...

But your teasing, aren't you thinking of something wrong... For a shameless person, who would choose this with you

Zhao Changhe asked directly: "Is any reward OK?"

Tang Wanzhuang's eyes flickered: "Of course... any reward is fine."

She spoke charmingly, but in fact her little hand was holding the teacup nervously, and her eyes were threatening, as if she was saying, "If you dare to say anything frivolous, I will splash it in your face."

Zhao Changhe was almost overwhelmed by the cuteness. His eyes rolled around and he smiled, "I'm thirsty. I want some tea."

Tang Wanzhuang said, "Isn't there tea in front of you?"

"What I want to drink is the half cup of leftover tea that the abbot personally feeds me. There is no other like it in the world."

Tang Wanzhuang bit her lower lip and glared at him fiercely.

Zhao Changhe looks up at the sky, letting you tease him.

I didn't say that a kiss from the chief would be good enough... Of course, I would get beaten if I said that, but asking for tea seemed to be just the right way to test her bottom line.

Seeing that lazy look, Tang Wanzhuang almost laughed out of anger: "The treasure of the lotus platform is in front of you, and Yuan Cheng almost knelt down to ask for it, and you want to drink half a cup of leftover tea! Do you think you can't do without you no matter what?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I don't care what the lotus platform is for, I want to drink tea."

Tang Wanzhuang pretended to splash it.

Zhao Changhe stretched his neck and looked at her.

Tang Wanzhuang paused in the action of pouring tea and looked at him with a slight movement of her eyes.

He was still injured and his face was still pale, but there seemed to be flames in his eyes, burning someone's heart.

In front of the flowers in late spring, under the moon at midnight.

Even Tang Buqi knew that it was not the right time for a man and a woman to be alone in the middle of the night... In such an environment and such an atmosphere, it would be easy to create a seductive atmosphere with just any words, not to mention taking the initiative to tease

He was moved, and so was she.

It was just like before, standing in front of his bed, looking at his injured, pale face, unable to move his eyes away for a long time.

Zhao Changhe plucked up the courage to hold her hand holding the teacup.

Tang Wanzhuang's body trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the hand he was holding without saying a word.

It's just a cup of tea, what's the big deal... He has made great contributions from the organization to the final battle, and he was injured again...

Sitting opposite each other across a stone table, it was obviously impossible to feed him.

Tang Wanzhuang gritted her teeth and actually stood up. She moved to his side and said like a child, "I really can't do anything with you... You're just like a child..."

She didn't realize that if they were originally sitting next to each other, she could have just gone with the flow and was reluctant to accept... But the initiative of standing up and walking to his side really couldn't be explained by "the atmosphere was right".

That's what I want to do deep down.

Willing to reward him and willing to meet his little expectations.

Xiangfeng came close to her and whispered softly: "Hey... the half cup of leftover tea you wanted..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a tightness around her waist and Zhao Changhe hugged her waist and held her in his arms.

Tang Wanzhuang subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she was afraid of touching the wound on his chest, so she dared not move. She could only stand there and said angrily, "Who allowed you to touch me?"

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and leaned forward: "The half I want is the half that you drink into your mouth..."

Tang Wanzhuang watched him move closer without even thinking about it. Her lips were already covered, allowing him to grab the remaining tea.

I knew in my heart that inviting him to a late-night "chat" with a single man and a single woman would inevitably lead to this result...

In a secret room somewhere, Suzaku and Xuanwu were surrounding a cloth bag, each squatting on one side with their hands clasped: "Why do I always feel like squatting here is a bit stupid... Why can't we take it out and ask..."
