Xia Chichi knew that Zhao Changhe really had no intention of sitting on the throne, and he even gave the little dragon energy in him to Wuzhui.
Although if he really wanted this so-called dragon energy, he could have as much as he wanted, but the fact that he gave Wuzhui away so nonchalantly showed that he really had never thought about it and didn't care at all.
But this doesn't mean that Xia Chichi wants it.
It's not what I want if you give it to me...
But looking at Zhao Changhe's eyes, she didn't say that after all.
Men always have good intentions. Maybe in his heart, father and daughter are always father and daughter. What Lao Xia did before is not that inhumane... Anyway, I can't figure out this kind of thing in my mind, and I don't have a firm idea whether I want it or not. Let's take it one step at a time.
Anyway, I originally wanted to come back to fight the Hu with him, and I didn't want to hang around here... But because the Tang family's ships only knew to return to Ningbo along the established route, they landed in Jiangnan, and there were many things to do on the way north. Just after leaving Jiangnan, the north is the territory of the Cao Gang, which also has a lot of origins.
In the past, the Tang family had a good relationship with the Cao Gang, and Tang Buqi had a close personal relationship with Wan Dongliu, the young master of the Cao Gang. But now, few people from the Tang family dared to go north to Yangzhou, and they would usually take a detour and disembark from other places.
Because of the conflict of interests between the Tang family and the Cao Gang over the issue of opening the sea, they broke up.
The split does not end there, the more crucial thing is that the Cao Gang is a member of the Four Symbols Sect.
Cao Gang was the focus of the Four Symbols infiltration in the early years. Young Master Wan Dongliu was brainwashed into the sect by his elder sister Zhuque when he was young. As for whether Wan Tianxiong knew it or not, he probably knew it in his heart, but he turned a blind eye to it. There were so many poor people at the bottom of Cao Gang, but they were not bewitched by Maitreya. One of the main reasons was that many of them had been led by their young master to believe in the Four Symbols...
When Wan Tianxiong decided to start the rebellion, he obviously joined the sect. Now he has been given a position as a guardian, and is one of the typical forces supported by the Four Symbols Sect. In this respect alone, his position is already in conflict with the Tang family. And the conflict is very serious. The leaders of both sides have been in conflict since their teenage years, and they are still fighting for men now.
If the Tang family intends to go north, Wan Tianxiong, who straddles the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, will be the first barrier. Similarly, if the Jianghuai Army wants to expand, there are only two ways, either to go north to Langya or to go south to seize the Tang family's territory. It can be said that in the current chaos, the most tense and the most likely to bet on by the spectators to start a fight are the Cao Gang and the Tang family.
Now people from Jiangnan go north across the river honestly as merchants. For the time being, the two sides have not yet reached the point of banning trade, but it seems that will happen soon.
The boat of Zhao Changhe's family of three naturally didn't need to avoid Yangzhou on purpose, as there was a venerable and a saint on the boat... So even though Xia Chichi didn't feel like hanging around here, it seemed reasonable for her to go and take a look.
"I wonder if it's Wan Tianxiong or Wan Dongliu who is in Yangzhou right now?" Zhao Changhe looked at the city in the distance. The sun was about to set, and he was hesitating whether to stop and rest.
Xia Chichi muttered, "Maybe they are not even in Yangzhou. Why, do you want to talk to them? What's the matter with you seeing this place?"
"No." Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "How can there be dragon energy everywhere? Besides, even if there is dragon energy here in Cao Gang, it should be on you. You are the real master. I don't have anything to say to Cao Gang for the time being. If I want to say something, I would ask them to explode Wang's chrysanthemum. I don't know if this kind of military operation is the right time. It depends on what Wan Tianxiong thinks. What is our control over Cao Gang?"
Xia Chichi was not quite sure either: "I'll have to ask the Venerable."
Zhao Changhe looked at Sanniang.
Sanniang lay on the black horse and pretended to be dead.
I'm not asking this venerable. Why are you asking me? When have I ever taken care of the affairs of the church except for punishing the saint girl to copy books...
The three of them got off the boat openly, leading their horses. Before they had planned whether to meet Wan Tianxiong and his son, they saw Wan Dongliu waiting in front of them. They didn't know when they received the news that the Venerable Saint was coming.
Zhao Changhe stepped forward and wanted to say a few words, but he saw Wan Dongliu's expression was extremely gloomy: "Your Excellency, Saint... My father was assassinated the night before yesterday."
The three of them suddenly changed their expressions: "What's going on?" Wan Tianxiong was ranked eleventh on the first edition of the chaotic world book list when Zhao Changhe just traveled through time. Ahead of him were Yang Jingxiu at tenth, Huangfu Yongxian at ninth, Shi Wuding at eighth, He Lei at seventh, Li Gongsi, the head of the Longxi Li family at sixth, Maitreya at fifth, and above them were the bird and the turtle sandwiching the evening makeup, and the top of the list was the thief saint Ye Wuzong.
In the past two years, four powerful men before Wan Tianxiong have died, including Hai Pinglan, Maitreya, He Lei and Shi Wuding. Now Wan Tianxiong is ranked seventh on the Earth List. He is truly one of the top powerful men in the world and a hegemon.
He once injured Wan Dongliu, who said, "If you don't leave, my father will come and beat you to death." At that time, Zhao Changhe was really weak and ran faster than a rabbit.
Now Zhao Changhe thinks that he is about at this level on paper. It is possible that Wan Tianxiong has also improved in the past two years. He cannot judge him by his old impression. He is probably still slightly inferior. But he has the confidence to face it with his strength without relying on freeloaders.
This was an opponent that Zhao Changhe was still wondering whether he could face head-on... And he was assassinated on his own turf, under heavy protection!
Judging from Wan Dongliu's expression, he's probably in great danger!
Zhao Changhe threw all his thoughts out of his mind, and quickly pulled Wan Dongliu's hand and ran into the city: "Let's talk as we walk. To be honest, Brother Wan, Zhao is now quite confident in his medical skills. As long as your father is still alive, there is a chance!"
Wan Dongliu swallowed all his worries and said in ecstasy: "If it can be cured, Brother Zhao will say a word in the future. I will be in trouble and say one more word, and I will be a dog!"
Xia Chichi followed beside him and asked, "Who did it?"
Wan Dongliu's expression darkened again: "It's Wang Daoning."
Wang Daoning...
Zhao Changhe and the other two looked at each other, a little surprised at first, but then they understood: "He has to do other important things and solve the worries in the south first!"
If Wang Daozhong was here, he would understand what Wang Daoning meant when he told him "Langya is worry-free" before he left. There were basically no problems internally, Gui Chen and other powerful Wang family members were in charge, and the biggest variable in the south was solved by him, so Langya was indeed worry-free in the short term.
In fact, it has been a long time since the leader of a faction was eliminated by such a decapitation operation... As long as the strength gap is not too big, even if Wang Daoning is ranked tenth on the Tianbang and compared with Wan Tianxiong, the strength gap is not enough to use this method. Wan Tianxiong is not made of clay, and no one knows the advantage of home court. It is too dangerous to go deep into enemy territory under heavy defense, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back once you go.
"From this perspective, what is Wang Daoning's current level?"
Wan Dongliu said, "Very strong... When father was fighting fiercely, he asked a word of shock, 'Defend'? Wang Daoning smiled but did not answer."
Imperial realm.
The three of them looked at each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.
What the hell, Wang Daoning returned from overseas injured, and when the next news came out, he was already in the realm of the emperor? Is he also a Saiyan
"It was like entering an empty land. All our arrangements, all the formations, and the siege by many masters were useless. He killed everyone with his body all over the ground. My father was hit in the chest by his palm, like a tidal wave, and his chest was flattened. He thought my father was dead, so he slaughtered a lot of people before leaving." Wan Dongliu was still frightened: "Fortunately, I was not there at the time, otherwise I might have died in this battle."
"So your father didn't die?" Sanniang asked in surprise, "Wang Daoning lost his calculations. He didn't confirm the news before the Chaos Book."
"At that time, my father used the turtle breathing technique of the Venerable to deceive Wang Daoning for a while. But in reality, it could only delay the situation for a while, and it couldn't change the fact that he was seriously injured and dying. We invited many famous doctors and they all said that he would not survive. I guess Wang Daoning felt that there was no need to go back and make up for it." Wan Dongliu's expression was extremely gloomy: "If anything happens to my father, I will immediately lead my troops north to Puyang. If he killed my father, I will kill his son. I will wipe out his Wang family!"
