Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 96: Delayed danger

Views:

Originally, Tang Wanzhuang's mind was very conflicted, and her dilemma could be seen from her various actions.

He hoped that the empire would have a stable heir and eliminate some unnecessary undercurrents, but he also did not want an unknown prince to emerge and have to negotiate a marriage again.

Tang Wanzhuang's mind is on the world, and she has no intention of finding someone to marry. She has no interest in either marrying a husband and raising children or finding a son-in-law to make the decisions herself.

Or it can be said that there is no man in the world that is worthy of her attention.

Therefore, it is very rare in this world to survive until one’s twenties without getting married. Especially for aristocratic families, it is even rarer than ancient secrets.

It's a pity that things in the world are not what you want to do. When you are in your twenties, your family is already getting angry. Tang Wanzhuang is in a high position and has strong cultivation, so her family can't force her too much. They can only discuss it. Do you dare to try when you are thirty? Who cares about your status? What about your family, country, and the world? Is it more important than getting married!

What's more, her identity and appearance are truly rare and valuable, and can be exchanged for greater capital for the family. If you leave them alone, it would be a waste of a treasure.

She was already 27 last year. If she didn't get married, no one would want her. It just so happened that the Crown Princess died. Although it was a bit embarrassing to be a successor, she could at least be the Queen. Her family couldn't stand it anymore and started to work on this matter. As luck would have it, the Crown Prince died... Tang Wanzhuang didn't have time to think about her own affairs. The first thing she did was to rush to Luojiazhuang and bring Luo Zhenwu, who was suspected to be the prince, to Beijing before she could think of anything else.

As a result, Luo Zhenwu also died, right in front of him.

Tang Wanzhuang didn't know whether to lament for the empire or to be relieved for herself. Anyway, it was her duty to arrest the murderer first. However, when she took Luo Zhenwu's body back to look for it, there was no token. She took his blood and tested it with His Majesty, but it didn't mix.

Tang Wanzhuang's heart skipped a beat. She searched all the bodies in the ruins of Luojiazhuang, but found no token. Her eyes fell on the two people who survived in Luojiazhuang. Let's not talk about the female one. If it was him... He killed Luo Zhenwu. Could this factor be involved? Did he not want his identity to be used by others

She simply led the Cui family over there, because she knew that the Cui family was a royal party. Let the Cui family take a look first, and if it is suitable, you can go.

As a result, Cui Yuanyang seemed to have made eyes at him, but the Cui family drove him away and even gave her a dragon bird to jump in front of her. Would you like to come in

The choice was placed before her again. Tang Wanzhuang was hesitant and asked her subordinates to consult Zhao Changhe to see what he had to say, but he got angry and insisted on doing it himself.

If he came in person, he would come in person. Nothing else was more important than this. What Tang Wanzhuang thought about most was what would happen to her in the future if he really recognized her as the prince? Would she really discuss marriage with him

But what he said was, don't eat young grass, I'm not interested in you.

The defiant expression is the same as before. The murderer is Zhao Changhe!

Tang Wanzhuang suddenly had an idea - if Daxia really had such a prince, Daxia would be safe. For her personally, if this person became the prince, she would have less trouble. Even if he was really a fake, Tang Wanzhuang was willing to make him the real one.

Tang Wanzhuang's mood gradually became calmer and calmer. She no longer felt angry and wanted to cough. Instead, she smiled slightly: "If I had known this, I should have come to meet you earlier."

Zhao Changhe said, "Did you think I really coveted you before?"

Tang Wanzhuang shook her head: "It's not necessarily that the young master covets it. The situation is that many people go with the flow, and few people can refuse... After all, it's human nature to gain too much."

Zhao Changhe said: "Have you ever thought that I am really not a prince? That's why you don't dare to pretend to be one."

"That's not important." Tang Wanzhuang started to make tea again, regaining her calmness and elegance: "Since Your Highness has always been against this identity, why don't we compromise and discuss a plan that everyone can accept?"

Zhao Changhe simply didn't bother to argue with her calling him "Your Highness". There was no way to argue. You can think whatever you want. The most important thing is to solve the problem. So he said, "I came to see you for this reason. What do you think about this embarrassing situation?"

Tang Wanzhuang said, "You don't acknowledge your identity, but you are willing to do something to pay off the debt to Longque, right?"

Zhao Changhe said simply, "Yes."

Tang Wanzhuang handed over a jade token: "This is the spy token of the Demon Suppression Division. The jade token is of a high level. You can use it to call on the resources of the Demon Suppression Divisions in various places, whether you need intelligence information or to get someone to take action."

Zhao Changhe knew that this was not a gift but a job, so he took it calmly and asked, "What should I do next?"

"There are undercurrents everywhere now. Some of them are caused by the alien races, and some are caused by the devil cults. You wander around the world, far away from the affairs of the alien races, but you happen to have a lot of contact with the devil cults, and even hang out with the Blood God Cult... If I let you be a hidden man of the Demon Suppression Bureau and be responsible for dealing with the devil cult on weekdays, what do you think?"

Zhao Changhe choked for a moment, his face turning green: "The Demon Sect refers to the Four Symbols Sect and the Blood God Sect?" If I really had to fight with Chi Chi, it would be too bloody. I won't do it. Does it count as dealing with the Demon Sect witch by holding her down and biting her? If it counts, it's ok.

But Tang Wanzhuang said: "Not only them, there are other demon sects, such as the Maitreya Sect that borrowed the skin of the ancients and called itself... You have been in the martial arts world for too short a time, and there are many things you have not seen yet. You will encounter them in the future."

Zhao Changhe heaved a sigh of relief. It would be better if I was not asked to deal with the Four Symbols Sect. Otherwise, how can I live like this? If there are other demon sects, I can just go after them and avoid the Four Symbols Sect. There is really no psychological barrier to dealing with demon sects. There is basically no good thing in demon sects. Anyway, as long as I have the credit, I can give an account to the skills and Longque at hand. You don't care which demon sect I deal with.

Thinking of this, he said, "That's fine. But I still need to confirm one thing..."

Tang Wanzhuang nodded and said, "Please go ahead."

"How high is this jade token? I don't want any superiors to tell me what to do. I'm a rebel. If I kill you, don't say I didn't warn you."

Tang Wanzhuang stared at him for a long while before pointing at her nose: "You only have one direct superior, and that's me. Even I won't order you around at will, I can only discuss it with you. If you're willing to admit it, you might be able to order me around."

“… It’s okay.” Zhao Changhe said, “Anyway, I’ve taken on this matter, so you won’t bother me with my identity anymore, right? Don’t trick me into doing something and then say I’ll be a prince.”

Tang Wanzhuang said: "I can make this guarantee for myself, but I can't do it for others. For example, if the Cui family and the Wang family come to you for this matter, I can't order you to do it."

"That's fine. Those noble families think differently. Dynasties come and go, but noble families remain forever. It doesn't matter to them who sits on the throne. It's not like your job, which requires a result." Zhao Changhe said, "Okay, let's settle this matter first. My friend and I are shopping here. It's not good if someone goes missing."

"Wait." Tang Wanzhuang stood up and stopped him from turning around and escaping: "The Demon Cult is in Jianhu City right now, and we know what they are going to do. Your first mission is to destroy this."

Zhao Changhe returned the jade token silently: "I resign."

There seemed to be a smile in Tang Wanzhuang's eyes: "Because Xia Chichi and you have a past? Have you even slept together?"

Zhao Changhe took a breath as if he had a toothache: "Be more elegant, Aunt Tang, you shouldn't say such things."

Tang Wanzhuang's smile disappeared and her face became expressionless.

Can you shout again

Zhao Changhe simply gave up: "Xia Chichi and I have known each other since childhood. We are people who can trust each other's backs. You want me to cause trouble for her? I can't do it. I resign."

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "What if destroying this mission is actually saving her life?"

Zhao Changhe's scalp numbed for a moment, and he asked hurriedly, "Explain it more clearly?"

Tang Wanzhuang sat back down and drank her tea leisurely: "You have already resigned, why should I tell you?"

"Uh, that, Tang Ah... No, Master, Sister Tang, I didn't resign, I didn't resign, I was just joking." Zhao Changhe snatched the jade token back and said with a smile: "Just tell me the details of the mission, Zhao Changhe promises to complete it!"

PS: There is another one in the evening, probably around 12 o'clock.

Thanks to the little fan girl Chengfeng for joining the alliance, muah~

I recommend another book, "I built a 10 billion empire after taking over the business with no other choice"

In the summer of 2002, when He Tianyuan had no choice but to take over his father's small, shabby company, no one expected that in just twenty years, he would be like a tiger returning to the forest and a dragon entering the sea, redefining the rules of the game for the entire industry and creating a business empire with a market value of tens of billions of dollars!
