Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 450: This is another way to test the cadres

Views:

Now the situation is beginning to become clear.

Sisi's side was the one that "opposed rebellion", or was unwilling to fulfill others' ambitions to integrate Miao territory. Their assassination of the envoy was not a rebellion, but on the contrary, it was to eliminate others' excuses for rebellion.

Since the Xia people who exploited us have been assassinated, it will be difficult for you to rebel with this reason.

And the murderer was Yue Hongling, who was also a Xia person. If a Xia person killed a Xia person, what does it have to do with us? Even if the court holds us accountable, we can stay out of it.

If it were a normal situation, Sisi's idea might be considered a bit naive. If they really came to hold the locals accountable, wouldn't they still have to plow the land? But the current situation is a little different...

The current Daxia is really unable to pursue the responsibility, and most likely they can only issue a wanted order for Yue Hongling and be done with it. It really has nothing to do with the local ethnic groups. As for the wanted order, it is basically okay to just blow the wind to Wanzhuang...

The chief concubine of the Demon Suppression Division is here, with his hands on his hips! Uh, no... The Jade-branded spy of the Demon Suppression Division is here!

The assassinated envoy was an official who exploited the people and almost caused a civil uprising, but the assassination actually eliminated the disaster. How should we view this? Wanzhuang also has a balance in her heart...

Thinking of this, Zhao Changhe looked at Sisi in surprise: "Hey, why didn't you think of unifying Miao Territory by yourselves, but instead just destroyed it?"

"Yeah..." Sisi rubbed her cheeks again: "The Xia people were so mean to me, hugging, kissing, pressing, touching, and even using disgusting things to hit my face. In the end, they turned their backs on me and turned their backs on me. Should I put up a sign that all Xia people in the world can be killed?"

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "Strictly speaking, I am not a Xia person."

"Oh, so someone knows that he is the bad guy? He has some self-awareness."

"… "

Sisi leaned back in the recliner and sipped her wine. She looked him up and down for a long time before she suddenly chuckled, "Master Tang is very good to me. I don't want to see her coughing to death when she heard that I was rebelling. If it weren't for you, don't be so complacent."

"When did I become complacent?"

"Besides, the one who would be really upset about this kind of thing is her, not you. I see that you don't care much about the rebellion. You only care about the purpose of the rebellion, whether it is really against tyranny or for more ugly ambitions. After all, you are a bandit leader yourself."

Zhao Changhe was stunned and remained silent.

Sisi smiled and said, "Hey, do you think I know you well... Don't be complacent, this is Sister Yue's analysis, it has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Changhe simply shut up and drank.

This girl is now full of sarcasm, and she wants to start a fight two out of three sentences... It's better to let her finish her spray and feel comfortable, and then it's over...

Sisi got back to the point: "I rely on the ancient heritage of my tribe. Although I am somewhat lacking in martial arts, I want to learn more about Central Plains martial arts. But in terms of witchcraft, we are the ancestors of everyone here. Once we really leave the secret realm and take root in this world, we will have the reason and strength to establish ourselves as kings."

Zhao Changhe said: "Yes, so I asked you why you don't want to."

"Because we are only a small group of people coming out, with me as the leader." Sisi said with a smile: "I told you that coming to Central Plains to learn martial arts was a bet between me and my clan. It was proven that my idea was indeed beneficial, so the clan would naturally consider officially establishing a base in this world and try to communicate more widely with this world. Now this is it. Hey, in this matter, the swordsmanship you gave was meritorious, do you want me to reward you?"

Zhao Changhe had a blank expression on his face. “That’s what you deserve. Your experience and knowledge played a huge role in exploring the Sword Emperor’s Mausoleum. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to obtain these inheritances. You were supposed to have a share of this.”

"You..." Sisi was very surprised: "Why are you so boring now? Is it because you are hooking up with Sister Yue that you have changed your mind?"

Zhao Changhe said seriously: "That's right. A man who has a family and a career must be more stable..."

Sisi's expression was as if she had eaten shit. She looked at him with disdain and yawned in boredom. "Anyway, our main focus is still on our own secret realm. We have very few people outside, so we don't want to participate in the competition. It is beneficial for us to maintain the status quo of the autonomy of the 100 tribes. As for whether they will rebel after they have taken root, I don't know. Do you want to eliminate this trouble in advance?"

In fact, if we follow this statement, there are still a lot of things going on inside the Ancient Spirit Tribe. It has been said before that there are some "people coming from the forbidden land" with a lot of bad debts. If they want to form a scale in this world and even threaten Daxia, I don't know how far it will be. Who would consider the consequences of such a distant thing? It would be a waste to borrow strength now. What's more, Zhao Changhe's purpose of coming here is to go to the Ancient Spirit Tribe. There are a lot of things to seek in it, not to entangle in worldly affairs here. In fact, as long as he knows that Yue Hongling is fine, there are not many things that need his attention in the southwest...

Zhao Changhe said seriously: "I even support Batu, let alone you. I only see what is beneficial to the current situation. What happens in the future has nothing to do with me. I am not a loyal minister of Daxia. Who would work hard for the court to make long-term plans?"

"Oh, support, this tone..." Sisi came over with a smile, her voice once again becoming coquettish: "I need the support of a great man in the Middle-earth, I wonder what it will take for Lord Zhao to take care of me?"

"If you can speak properly, I will take care of you."

"Really..." Sisi didn't comment, and sat back again, saying leisurely: "Okay, I think I've learned almost everything you want to know, and my interest in you has been worn out by your seriousness. Go back to your guest room and rest. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything."

It was indeed late at night. Zhao Changhe had just been cursed and poisoned, and he felt a little tired. He had a basic understanding of the matter, so he did not insist any more and stood up to say goodbye: "Saint, you should also go to bed early. We will discuss it tomorrow."

Sisi waved her hands, as if asking him to go away out of boredom.

Zhao Changhe didn't care and turned to leave the big tent. There were a few maids guarding outside. They were quite surprised to see him leave in a serious manner. They smiled and said, "Guest, please follow us."

Although there are not many people, the village is actually quite large. The guest tent is in a remote corner far away. Inside the tent is a huge bathtub with bubbling hot steam. There are also unknown flower petals floating in the tub, which has a pleasant fragrance.

The maids asked with a smile: "Sir... do you want to help me take a bath?"

"Why are you in the same tune as your Saint Lady..."

"Hee... The Saint actually said this to you?"

"No, it's just the tone. Do you understand the tone?"

"Tone of voice... hehe." The little maid said nothing and retreated with a smile.

Of course, the young maids didn't know about Sisi's tragic past when she pretended to be a maid and was molested. If she were a saint, she would speak to people in a charming tone, which meant she either had murderous intentions or she had some affection for that person and was testing his character.

But it doesn't look like she has murderous intentions. How could the Saint have a crush on Xia Ren whom she just met? This is not right...

How could the maids possibly imagine the complicated relationship and mentality between the two? In fact, neither of them knew what attitude to use when talking to each other. Until now, they were all confused and their behavior was instinctive.

Zhao Changhe was tired at the moment and didn't bother to think too much. Finally he could take a good hot bath and he was in tears.

I squatted comfortably in the bathtub and closed my eyes to rest for less than half a cup of tea. Suddenly, I opened my eyes and thought to myself that something was wrong.

A warm current surged up from his lower abdomen, and his heart was beating hard. The faces of Sisi and the pretty maids just now kept turning around in his mind, followed by their exposed waists and crystal-like little feet. The images flashed in his mind frame by frame.

I took an aphrodisiac.

Zhao Changhe looked inside himself, and just like before when he checked the weakness curse, he could not find anything. He had to rely on the Qinghe Mirror to check. But at this time and place, taking out a mirror would be too conspicuous...

Zhao Changhe gave up the idea of taking out the mirror and relied on Tang Wanzhuang's Moon Reflecting Water method to suppress it. He sighed and said, "Can you guys let me take a good bath..."

A fragrant breeze blew by, and Sisi, with her slender waist and bare feet, quietly appeared beside him, whispering seductively: "Master, do you want me to serve you..."
