Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 54: What is your relationship with Mr. Tang?

Views:

I don’t know if this unconventional person is really complimenting you, or if he is implying that you are a rebellious person and no one dares to take you. After the drinkers started talking nonsense, Zhao Changhe now felt that everyone's words were ridiculing, and his balls hurt.

What's even more annoying is that he doesn't know how to answer this question.

What's the relationship with Mr. Tang

how could I know!

"I am the man she will never get in her life. Does this count?"

Cui Yuanyong was a little helpless: "Brother Zhao... Cui is not good at joking. Can we be more serious?"

"To be more serious, in front of her, I killed the person she wanted to save with one knife. She personally issued a wanted arrest for me, and everyone knew it. Since she wants me, can't I claim that she will never be able to catch me? It’s a joke, but it’s not true.”

Cui Yuanyong said slowly: "However... does she really want to arrest you?"

Zhao Changhe said casually: "What the drinker said just now, no one cares about the wanted poster being muddied by the rain? This kind of thing is normal as long as the local government is lazy, the local official wants to kill Mr. Tang."

"No... many wanted criminals can't be caught because they don't know their whereabouts. But she knew you were in Beimang, but she actually sent a naive... um, such an inexperienced girl. I've never seen this before The Demon Suppressor has such a nonchalant attitude towards wanted criminals.”

The little idiot from the Cui family was sent by the Chief Tang, which meant that the Chief Tang already knew that Zhao Changhe was in Mangshan.

Now that we know that he is in Mang Mountain, what if we don't catch him personally? We don't send elite soldiers, but a little fool who has never been in the world

Zhao Changhe knew that this matter really could not be explained, so he did not continue to play tricks and said: "She probably thought Brother Cui would take action?"

"Maybe... But you may not know one thing... I am also careless about this task and don't even want my little sister to do it, so I have been stalling for time to let her break through the third level of the entrance. This time has been delayed for a month or two, There was no response from Chief Tang. Is this the official attitude towards knowing where the wanted criminal is? "

Zhao Changhe: "...Why are you taking time?"

"I was stalling for time because I thought you were not an ordinary gangster and wanted to observe more. But Chief Tang didn't react, which really made me feel a little weird." Cui Yuanyong said lightly: "She shouldn't have no reaction! Because you are not an ordinary gangster." "The wanted criminal, the person you killed was just a local gentry, worth only a hundred taels of reward... But we know that Luo Zhenwu was more than just a local gentry, and the consequences of your stabbing were very serious."

Zhao Changhe was silent.

Cui Yuanyong finally answered the question: "If he is really the prince, she, Tang Wanzhuang, must come to catch you as soon as possible. How can she leave this matter to my little sister? No matter how long I delay it, I will not ask. I am so careless. ? This at least shows that Luo Zhenwu is not a prince at all, and his death is not important. "

It turns out that the first person in the Tang Dynasty was named Tang Wanzhuang... hmm.

Zhao Changhe sighed: "You have already guessed that Luo Zhenwu is not the prince. Otherwise, if you look at me like a hammer, you should catch me as soon as possible? The Cui family is a famous family in Daxia. How many people are there in the family? How come the appointment of Da Xia is treated as if it is only a matter for the head of the Tang Dynasty?"

Cui Yuanyong showed a smile and said nothing.

He just looked at Zhao Changhe with more amusement.

Zhao Changhe looked awkward at him and said speechlessly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Luo Zhenwu is either a prince or a prince. It means that it is normal for him not to be so concerned about my wanted arrest. There is nothing strange about it. "

"But..." Cui Yuanyong said leisurely: "She asked my little sister to catch you... Don't you know that according to normal deduction, the final result will be me and you fighting? Does she want to catch you? Why? I don’t want to catch you, but I just want to kill you?”

Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

Indeed... When Chief Tang received the news that he was in Beimang, it must have been when he had just defeated Deputy Helmsman Huang and boarded the Book of Troubled Times. At that time, it was deliberately leaked by Wang Dashan and others, which attracted a group of fools to challenge the Qianlong List. It was unreasonable that the government had no news. Presumably the local government did not dare to master it, so they quickly reported it to the Demon Suppression Division.

At that time, my strength was at the first level of the entrance hall, and the little sister of the Cui family was at the second level of the entrance hall... No, it had nothing to do with strength. Regardless of whether Tang Shang could guess the rapid development of his strength during this period, that was not important. What was important was that Tang The leader should be able to see that a fool like the Cui family girl will most likely be in trouble even if she enters the most ordinary small village with no masters at all.

Cui Yuanyong saw his sister in danger, how could he not take action

So Cui Yuanyong will definitely fight against him, Zhao Changhe, and with how strong Cui Yuanyong is, how can he take on him? Isn’t it certain that he will die

But if you really want to kill him, Chief Tang can just send any of his cronies. Why are you beating around the bush

Because of the identity of the Cui family? If the Cui family kills the prince, will it be beneficial to the situation? This is only beneficial to the rebels, right? It almost makes me smile crookedly. Is she, Chief Tang

Or was it that the Chief of the Tang Dynasty was sure that Cui Yuanyong would never casually kill Zhao Changhe with a suspicious identity, and was he deliberately letting Cui Yuanyong contact Zhao Changhe to confirm something

But why didn't she come to confirm it herself and use this uncontrollable method

Can't figure it out.

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and said sincerely: "Brother Cui, I'm not pretending to be confused with you. Now I don't understand this matter. Can you tell me the whole story of your going to Beimang? Is your sister a subordinate of the Demon Suppression Division? It doesn’t look like it.”

"No, I want to go to Beimang first." Cui Yuanyong said: "I want to challenge Yue Hongling and ask people to pay attention to her whereabouts. I learned that she has appeared in Beimang. My roommate knew that I was going out, and she couldn't bear it. At home, she wanted to go out with me... I thought it was time for her to go out for a walk at her age. Traveling thousands of miles would be good for her, so I took her out for a trip, and my family agreed. "

This is indeed normal. Zhao Changhe did not interrupt and gave him a glass of wine, knowing that there was more to come.

"Although my family didn't pass by the capital when they went to Beimang, it didn't take too many roads to get to the capital, so I naturally took her to visit the capital first and pay a visit to the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, if a woman can learn from the Tang Dynasty, The style of the first one is what we expect.”

Zhao Changhe thought of that night when the woman's sword was as bright as water, and her sickly body stood in front of the demon sect. She was beautiful, calm, and majestic. He could almost picture her working at the desk while coughing, dragging her sick body to support the decaying empire. …Although this feeling may not be true, the first impression is certainly that.

Even if it's just superficial magnanimity, if the Cui family's little girl can really learn from her, I'm afraid the Cui family will have to set off firecrackers to congratulate her.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Then what?"

"It turns out that my little sister didn't admire the kind of demeanor of Chief Tang. Instead, she was very interested in their business of suppressing demons. They talked about hunting down thieves and suppressing bandits and doing justice in the world. It's fascinating to think about it. As they talked, they actually said that they would do it. Join the Demon-Suppressing Division.”

Zhao Changhe almost stopped laughing.

The responsibilities of the Demon Suppression Division are somewhat similar to those of the modern Crime Squad, but of course the status is much higher, because this is a martial arts fantasy world. The demons "suppressed" by this department are always people from the troubled times list, and they are basically anti-heroes. The leader of thieves and aliens. The responsibilities of Chief Tang correspond to this group of people, and his status is not just as simple as the leader of the serious crime team or the captain of the special operations team, but also the top official of the imperial court, the first rank in the dynasty.

A little girl who was pampered at home said that she was going to face the most bloody and murderous crime squad in the entire empire. If you join the team, you can only be a mascot. Do you really want to control the devils in the world

Looking at Zhao Changhe's expression, Cui Yuanyong knew what he was thinking, and sighed helplessly: "Everyone knows that this is unreliable, and to be honest, our family does not want to join this kind of yamen, it is not in line with our purpose... Chief Tang did not necessarily hope that a member of the Cui family would come to the Demon-Suppressing Division. If he did, her head would probably grow three times bigger. So she said that if she wanted to join the Demon-Suppressing Division, she would have to complete the entry-level tasks and see how the tasks were completed. To determine whether you can get a job.”

Zhao Changhe clicked his tongue and said, "What she said is also sinister. She didn't say that she can join the job after the job is completed."

"Yes, when I heard this, I thought it was just perfunctory. I just found a task to let my little sister know that it is not easy to hunt down thefts and suppress bandits. She also had a tacit understanding with me and knew that I would not help her complete the task." Cui Yuan Yong Dao: "When she was choosing tasks, she was chatting with me about family matters. When she learned that I was going to Beimang... At that moment, she suddenly paused, frowning and thinking for a long time."

"So the mission is to catch me?"

"Mr. Tang said that he just received news that there is a wanted criminal in Beimang. Let him be the one. That's what happened. Otherwise, how would we know where you are?"

From this point of view, the head of the Tang Dynasty probably did not think about this before, but learned that Cui Yuanyong was coming to Beimang. I don’t know what kind of deduction she made, but she actually changed the task of perfunctory the Cui family’s little sister. Like this.

Zhao Changhe's expression gradually became weird, and suddenly an unreasonable thought came to his mind - if the head of the Tang Dynasty was really sure that Cui Yuanyong would not kill someone indiscriminately, then why did this arrangement feel like a blind date

No wonder Cui Yuanyong asked not "your identity", but "what is your relationship with Mr. Tang"!
