Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 520: I owe you something

Views:

At the foot of Mount Emei, in a town tavern where Zhao Changhe once lifted weights for a day.

Situ Xiao held a jar of wine and drank it loudly, claiming that he was treating Zhao Changhe to a drink, but he ended up getting himself half drunk first.

Zhao Changhe was speechless and ignored him, secretly filling his wine gourd with wine.

I didn’t have the nerve to ask Sisi for wine to fill this wine gourd. The gourd has been empty for about a month...

This is the first time in a year since the battle to be on the list that no one was injured, and they can even drink together. This is a leap forward for Zhao Changhe, it is really not easy...

"Hey." Situ Xiao finally drank enough and put down the wine jar: "Why don't you drink?"

Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes: "I have never been a drunkard like you, okay."

"You are not a wine lover, why do you hang a wine gourd?"

"Why does liking to drink make you an alcoholic? Are you crazy? Which forum did you graduate from?"

Situ smiled: “?”

Can't understand.

Zhao Changhe said honestly: "Actually it's because with a long sword on my shoulder and a bottle of wine on my waist, I look very handsome and very chivalrous when I walk out."

Situ Xiaoqi laughed. Just this bastard crushed all his peers to the paleness

He said sourly: "You stole my drunken steps and still say you are not a drunkard."

He called him a drunkard, but in fact he was mocking him for learning his own tricks.

Zhao Changhe said, "Hey, we are familiar with each other, but I will sue you for slander if you say anything wrong... I did imitate the Drunken Step in Langya, but I was just pretending. I didn't learn it, okay? How about you teach me? You've taught me the Wind and Thunder Palm anyway, so one more thing won't make a difference."

Situ Xiao was amused by his shameless demeanor: "You really are... Now you are the second-level secret treasure and the first on the human list! You are standing in front of me because I want to ask you for advice, okay? How dare you ask me to learn something."

"Why does it sound sour?"

Did you hear it? Situ Xiao said nothing with a sour face.

"I'll teach you something too." Zhao Changhe casually grabbed the paper and pen on the counter of the tavern, quickly wrote a page of paper, and handed it to Situ Xiao: "Although I have learned the Wind and Thunder Palm but have basically never used it... Well, consider it an exchange."

At that time, Situ Xiao had the intention of helping his friend, and when he saw that Zhao Changhe wanted to learn some boxing and palm techniques, he readily taught him.

But this time it was obviously the other way around, it was Zhao Changhe who was promoting him.

Situ Xiao, with a lot of complaints about how times have changed, took the paper, glanced at it, and spat out all the wine with a "puff".

He didn't dare to spray on the paper, so he twisted his head wildly to spray, his neck almost broke, and he kept coughing.

On the paper was a body-building method that could heal quickly.

If it is said that the aggressiveness of Zhao Changhe's Blood Shura Body conflicts with the invulnerability of their Shenhuang Sect's body-building direction, it would be difficult to combine them together, but this healing property is almost tailor-made for his Shenhuang Sect and there is absolutely no conflict.

This is not an exchange for Situ Xiao, it is a top opportunity that will make the entire Shenhuang Sect ecstatic, the kind that can be placed in the column of the sect's core secret techniques!

"You... cough cough... you..." Situ Xiao coughed hard: "Do you know what level of body building method this is!"

"Yes, it's the second-level secret treasure level."

"You're just going to pour this level of secret technique to me like pouring wine?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Zhao Changhe said, "This is the method I realized on my own. I can teach anyone I want."

Situ Xiao fell silent, and then he sighed after a while: "You should hate rebellion, right? Why can't I see it at all? Instead, you are more friendly to me."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "I thought you were acting weird today. Why are you so entangled in this?"

"If we have different paths, even the best of friends will become strangers."

"But who told you that I hate rebellion? Just like Zhai Muzhi, you have stayed in his territory for such a long time without rebelling, so I look down on you."

Situ Xiao was dumbfounded.

Could it be that the rumors we heard were wrong? What I saw in Langya about the Wang family's attitude towards you was also false? Are you really not the crown prince

Earlier, when Situ Xiao was attacking the village gate, the conversation between Zhao Changhe, Zhai Muzhi and Lu Shouyi was quite close to him, and Situ Xiao heard some of it. Lu Shouyi said that it was Xia Longyuan's intention to protect Zhai Muzhi... In fact, the root of Daxia's character is Xia Longyuan. If we have to rebel against Zhai Muzhi in Zhai Muzhi's territory, then do we have to rebel against Xia Longyuan in Daxia's territory

Zhao Changhe didn't give Xia Longyuan any face at all. He killed him without hesitation, as if he had proved the point with his own actions.

It is a great filial piety.

Situ Xiao was lost in his thoughts when he heard Zhao Changhe say, "I do have a question."

Situ Xiao calmed down and said, "You say."

"Now that our respected teacher is in Bashu, will he change his ways?"

“…” Situ Xiao knew what he was talking about and remained silent.

They may not have ambitions when they start a rebellion, but after they become powerful, no one knows whether they will have other ideas. Situ Xiao cannot make such a guarantee for his master. However, the Shenhuang Sect has some confidence because all of them are bachelors. Without offspring, it is difficult for them to have the idea of a family empire.

Situ Xiao can make this kind of guarantee on behalf of the master: he has absolutely no interest in women...

"Instead of thinking about whether I will change, you might as well think about what Xia Longyuan will do now that there is war everywhere." Li Shentong's voice came from outside the door: "When I rebelled, I was prepared for Xia Longyuan to come and take my head off. I never thought about what would happen later."

Zhao Changhe stood up and asked, "Senior, aren't you leading the group to Chengdu?"

"I asked Junior Brother Shi to go." Li Shentong said indifferently, "Do you really think I like fighting? It's better to come and drink."

As he said this, he casually walked in, snatched the wine bowl from his apprentice and drank it all.

Situ stretched out his hand with a smile, looking distressed but not daring to say a word.

Zhao Changhe: “…”

"Bang!" Li Shentong drank the wine happily, put down the wine bowl, and looked at Zhao Changhe with admiration in his eyes: "I didn't complete the task you entrusted to me, which is a bit embarrassing."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Senior, are you referring to the matter where I was asked to take care of Hong Ling?"

"Well... I sent someone to look for it, but they couldn't find it. They were of no help from beginning to end."

"This is not your fault, Senior. Hong Ling is in Miaojiang. I met him by myself, but nothing happened. Senior, you are trustworthy enough to remember this."

"If it's not completed, it's not completed. I owe you one thing, and you can ask for another one." Li Shentong said meaningfully: "Except for letting me surrender to Xia Longyuan."

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment: "What else do you want to surrender?"

Li Shentong smiled: "You?"

Zhao Changhe waved his hand: "I am just a wandering man in the martial arts world... Senior, you are joking."

Li Shentong said leisurely: "It depends on who the other party is... At present, unless Tang Wanzhuang becomes the queen herself, no one else is worthy."

Zhao Changhe's eyes widened. Is there anyone in the world who can think in this direction? Tang Wanzhuang as the empress is simply too beautiful to be seen.

Actually, Li Shentong's implication is that you are not worthy of it now, but it seems to contain some clues for the future... It is impossible to say it directly. He would come to say this on purpose, which seems to have some meaning.

Li Shentong said, "Perhaps you have been in Miaojiang for too long and don't know what is going on in the world right now. Two days ago, the Wang family and the Huangfu family jointly proposed to abolish the canal and replace it with the sea. No matter what the game behind this is, the world will definitely be in chaos. The Wang family will definitely raise the flag. Wan Tianxiong has been in Jianghuai for so many years and is no pushover. The Tang family already has a dominant position in Jiangnan... It is not impossible for the Tang family to compete, so don't look so surprised."

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat. This day had finally come... Thinking that he was the one who proposed this proposal, he felt a little complicated.

Situ Xiao said with a click of the tongue: "I wonder which wicked scholar who has no asshole came up with this evil plan of abolishing the canal and replacing it with the sea..."

Zhao Changhe glanced over and tried to snatch back the skills that had just been given to him.

"No matter what the world is like, the real root depends on what Xia Longyuan thinks, otherwise it's all a monkey show." Li Shentong said, turned around and left: "That's it, I won't disturb you two brothers from drinking..."

Zhao Changhe was no longer in the mood to drink.

I just want to grow wings and fly directly to the capital to meet Tang Wanzhuang... and meet Xia Longyuan.

No, I should go meet Cui Wenjing first.

I once made an appointment with Lao Cui to come back from the southwest to marry Yangyang... Now the world is changing drastically. If the Wang family starts a rebellion, they will generally go in two directions, one is to the west to PY, and the other is to go south to Xuzhou. If they go west, will Lao Cui still have the mind to talk about marriage
