Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 438: Enter Sichuan

Views:

Yue Hongling said that after going to Jianlu, she planned to go to Miaojiang.

At that time, the Battle of Xiangyang had not yet broken out, and Yue Hongling did not know that Zhao Changhe was so close. If she were to escape, she would naturally go to Miaojiang, and generally would not need to consider any other options, so she should be there.

I just don't know if I've left after so long...

No matter what, at least we can find some clues after we get there. It would be best if they are still there.

In fact, if these things hadn't happened, normally Yue Hongling would have gone to Jianlu and Miaojiang, and Zhao Changhe would have also gone to Jianlu and Miaojiang... I wonder if if they met, would this count as "people from different places meeting in the same place for different goals"

Maybe it could be considered as such... Anyway, Zhao Changhe no longer had that feeling in his mind.

Miao territory is huge... Finding a person here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I just hope that Yue Hongling and Shi Wuding are both celebrities, so it would be easier to get clues if I visit them...

Especially now that I am not alone, it is relatively easier to find someone than before.

Zhao Changhe entered Sichuan from Ba and then Tianfu. Then he went straight to a famous local jewelry store, which was the meeting place agreed with Li Si'an. He didn't know whether Li Si'an had arrived.

When we got there, we saw Li Si'an looking at the jadeite inside. "The quality of this batch of jadeite doesn't look that good... Is there something wrong over there recently? I feel like something is not right. The jadeite that came here all looks a bit crooked... Huh? You came so early?"

Zhao Changhe strode in: "I was worried that you hadn't come, now you're here."

"You look like... is there something wrong?"

"The Bashan Sword House is deserted and the entire sect has moved. Did you know about this?"

"I just heard the news..."

"Why is the information so delayed?"

Li Si'an put down the jade and sighed, "Jianlu is full of a group of solemn swordsmen. Think about Han Wubing's personality... Although most people in Jianlu are not as aloof as him, the basic template is still similar. In short, they seldom communicate with the outside world. It's normal that we haven't heard of their people in the martial arts world... Even if such a semi-secluded sect was suddenly destroyed, I guess not many people would know about it."

Zhao Changhe sneered: "There is little external communication. Could it be that most of them are unable to split themselves up and are doing other things?"

Li Si'an asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Changhe said directly: "I guess it might be a disguise of Tingxue Tower... I might not be able to make a correct guess, but Yue Hongling fought with them, and some people died under Yue Hongling's sword. This is what I found out from my personal autopsy."

Li Si'an's expression changed slightly: "This..."

He glanced around and pulled Zhao Changhe into the inner room: "In Bashu, be careful about what you say... Although Jianlu disciples rarely travel around the world, many of the noble families in Bashu, even the military and the Demon Suppression Division, have people who have gone to Jianlu to seek guidance. They are almost considered anonymous disciples. Therefore, Jianlu does not show off its influence, but it has a wide range of influence."

Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes: "They rarely communicate with the outside world, but many people go to them to communicate..."

"Let's create our own style?" Li Si'an said with a smile, "This way it will look like the Holy Land of Bashu Swordsmanship."

"Then their relocation..."

"I don't know how true your judgment of Tingxue Tower is... Assuming Yue Hongling spreads this unsubstantiated judgment, it actually won't have much impact on Jianlu. Even though Yue Hongling's reputation has always been good, she is just a young talent after all, and it is difficult for her to shake such a well-known figure who has taken root in a place and flourished. You see, even if you tell me that I am willing to believe you, what's the use? I can't take it seriously. I just have this confidence in my heart."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "That's right. So the relocation is not actually due to this?"

"It is possible that the enemies of Tingxue Tower will come to spy on us, and the possibility of something going wrong will increase greatly. Relocation is still possible for this reason..." Li Si'an pondered, "But I don't think it is the main reason. It is at most one of the reasons? Relocation just for this reason is a bit too much..."

Zhao Changhe calmed down and felt that it made some sense.

Li Si'an said: "Based on this, maybe Yue Hongling didn't fight because she discovered the secret of Listening Snow Tower. There may be other factors. You don't even understand whether the fight happened before or after the relocation."

"Hmm..." Zhao Changhe suddenly found it a little funny.

When I went out to the frontier before, I thought Yue Hongling was in danger. After I rushed out in a hurry, I realized that her danger was not that great. The frontier is so vast, how could she be blocked so easily

This time was the same. The first judgment was always like this, but after careful analysis, it seemed that it was not the case. Even if he was really being chased by Shi Wuding, as long as he could get rid of him on the road, hiding in Miaojiang would not be much easier than hiding outside the Great Wall...

Normally, Yue Hongling was someone that no one needed to worry about. She had much more experience in the martial arts world than Zhao Changhe did. However, Zhao Changhe was always inexplicably worried about her getting into trouble...

Perhaps it is these people who wander around the world who give people a feeling of being like a floating duckweed. They always feel that they are wandering between life and death at any time, which is the most worrying.

Li Si'an said, "I will write a letter to inform the headmaster about the matter of Tingxue Tower so that she can know what's going on. When you go to Miaojiang, is there anything you need my help with?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Mainly help find clues about Yue Hongling, I am not capable of doing it alone."

"No, didn't you go to Miaojiang to find the entrance to the secret realm?" "... How can you help me with this? You can find it. Ying Wu has already entered by himself."

"I can at least arrange an identity for you that will make it easier for you to get along there. Otherwise, do you think any Xia person can thrive there?"

"A caravan?"

"Yes, I have a long-term business relationship with the chieftain Lei Ao over there. If you go there, even if you are not a VIP, at least you can ask them to do you some small favors. If you need to find people, you will need them even more. As for how to find the secret realm, you are better than us..."

"Okay..." Zhao Changhe thought for a moment, "Can this caravan identity be easily assigned? Can I pretend to be someone else?"

Li Si'an asked curiously, "What's up with you?"

"If you introduce me as the famous Wang Daozhong of the Wang family, will they believe it?"

"Should... I guess, okay." Li Si'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Maybe it's even better. If you are a member of my gang, I can't get rid of the connection if you cause trouble there. If Wang Daozhong asked me to introduce a business channel, and I did it out of face, I can deny anything you did there."

Zhao Changhe was very satisfied: "That's settled then."

Li Si'an said: "Because Wang Daozhong got into trouble with the Yang family, it was not appropriate for him to stay in Langya after being rescued from prison. He was sent to Miaojiang to open up new paths. This is very reasonable..."

"Uh-huh."

"But you should at least put on some makeup and don't treat people like a fool... For example, at least grow a beard?" Li Si'an looked him up and down: "I'll also change you into a set of scholar's clothes..."

Zhao Changhe sighed, "Someone once told me that if I ever make such a mess of my disguise again, he'll beat me up, don't worry."

At this moment, Zhao Changhe had long forgotten what he said in his early years that he was unwilling to live his life under the guise of others.

There is no way, I am too emotional in playing Wang Daozhong.

Li Si'an found a set of clothes that Wang Daozhong usually wears, and also helped find some fake beards. Zhao Changhe took out bottles and jars and put on makeup. When he looked in the mirror, he really looked like Wang Daozhong...

Li Si'an was loading a car nearby, saying, "We mainly transport Shu brocade over here and exchange it for jadeite from them. However, the quality of the recent batches of jadeite is very poor. I was planning to go and take a look myself to see what's going on... Is Lei Ao playing tricks on me, or are our people stationed in Miaojiang lining their own pockets and passing off inferior goods as good ones... I happened to bring Mr. Daozhong with me on this trip to introduce them..."

Zhao Changhe looked outside at the people accompanying the vehicle. There were quite a lot of them. "Are they all from the Demon Suppression Division? Or are they from the Bandit Brotherhood?"

"How can the Demon Suppression Division have so many people? Some of them are from the Brotherhood, and some are recruited from the local area. Why, you don't trust them?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Changhe put the dragon bird into the ring, took out the ancient sword Dragon King and wore it on his waist: "From now on, call me Mr. Daozhong."

Longque squatted in the ring, a little dumbfounded.

I felt like I was going to reuse it a few days ago, but why is it starting to gather dust

You don't cherish it now that you have it, right

Just when she was about to rebel, she heard Zhao Changhe's words of comfort: "I am just pretending to be someone else now. When there is an important battle, you will be my trump card."

Longque snorted twice and didn't respond.

It's really strange, this guy really knows how to explain things to a knife... He's really different from Xia Longyuan.

Li Si'an said with a smile: "There is still some time to load the car, why don't you go eat first? Get used to your identity as Mr. Daozhong."

Zhao Changhe looked around and saw nothing was wrong, so he followed Li Si'an out to a restaurant nearby.

I had only walked a few steps outside when I heard a surprised voice from the street: "Isn't this Mr. Daozhong? When did you come to Bashu?"

Zhao Changhe turned around and saw a scholar in a long gown and a few followers passing by. They were obviously surprised to see Wang Daozhong here.

There were a string of ellipsis in Zhao Changhe's mind. I don't even know you, how can I greet you like this

Li Si'an's voice came to my ears: "Xie Ruhai, the chief official of the residence of Zhai Muzhi, the governor of Shu County."

Zhao Changhe's heart moved slightly.

Xie Ruhai would be fine, but the Shu County Governor Zhai Muzhi, besides being a local prince, also has another identity that arouses great interest in the people of Jianghu.

After He Lei, Cai Wenque, Mile and other people on the Earth List fell one after another, the top few people on the Human List were promoted to the Earth List. Today's goalkeeper of the Earth List is no longer Wang Daozhong, and the number one on the Human List is no longer Vulture Lieya, but the fourth place in that year who became the first.

No matter whether you got there by accident or not, as long as you are at the top of the list, you will become dazzling.

Ranked fourth on the list of previous people and first on the list of present people, is Zhai Muzhi, the prefect of Shu County.
