The Book of Troubled Times

Zhao Changhe admitted that his face was swollen by the book of the chaos.

One second he was still talking about Da Zhou's embarrassment, and the next second his eldest nephew really stood up.

But Zhao Changhe was not depressed about being slapped in the face, on the contrary he was very happy, took out the wine gourd and took a big gulp.

At the beginning, Tang Buqi was still crying after drinking, and the big waves washed the sand, and his name was shining in the world after all.

In addition, Maitreya was defeated by Taihu Lake, and Tang Wanzhuang launched a counterattack. Will they continue to attack Xiangyang? The east and west fronts are different, so I don't know if it will affect or not.

Right now, I want to communicate with the people from Zhenmensi even more, and I hope Da Zhou really is. It stands to reason that the people in Zhenmagic Division should also want to communicate with their superiors at this moment, and it is easier to see the clues.

Zhao Changhe quietly followed Da Zhou around to an alley, where the smell was very fragrant, and he really made braised duck... But it was not a small shop and workshop as originally imagined, but the whole alley belonged to his family.

The whole city is not in a good mood, and the construction scene here is relatively deserted, and no one comes in to buy goods. But there is no need to buy it, Da Zhou ordered his staff to pack the marinated goods and send them to various restaurants and rich man's mansions one by one.

This is a business with regular cooperative customers. The depression in the city seems to have relatively little impact on such businesses.

Everything seemed to be normal, Zhao Changhe was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

It was getting dark, Da Zhou finished his busy work, changed into a set of young master's clothes, and swayed away from the alley. Zhao Changhe felt that this might be a meeting, so he followed secretly.

"Yo~ Brother Zhou is here? Xiao Taohong misses you..."

"I don't want Xiao Taohong, I miss my fourth brother."

"Fourth Master is in No. 1 Flower Hall, waiting for Brother Zhou to play with him."

"..." Zhao Changhe watched Da Zhou entering the brothel surrounded by old bustards in the distance, feeling full of ellipses.

Why do you want to visit brothels again...

Forget it, don't go shopping this time. In the past, there was no way to pretend to be a guest to go in. It was because my qinggong was generally too big and the knife was too big, so I was not suitable for spying. Now that the problem is solved, Longque has received the ring, and qinggong combined with Ye Wuzong's popularity It is much easier to investigate secretly now.

Zhao Changhe spotted Da Zhoujin's flower hall, floated up to the eaves, lowered his barb, and peeked out the window.

Sure enough, as expected, the big Zhou inside didn't come to prostitute at all.

There was another man sitting opposite him, most likely the so-called "fourth brother". There was no girl around the two of them, and they were just drinking relative to each other.

"The first seat defeated Maitreya, is there any news recently?" Da Zhou was asking.

Sure enough, the people from the Town Magic Division.

Zhao Changhe felt that his intuition was right enough to buy a lottery ticket... But the name Fourth Brother makes it easy to think of the Yingwu Organization...

The fourth brother said: "The war has just ended, even if you want to send a pigeon, it will not arrive immediately. You are in a hurry than me."

Da Zhou said: "I was so excited when I saw the book about troubled times... Maitreya's chaos in the south of the Yangtze River has finally seen the signs of peace. Who doesn't want to go back to the old days, it's safe and sound, it's good to come here and listen to the music. Ah. Now that we are engaged in woolen work, the business is bad, and listening to music is boring.”

The fourth brother was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's why the chief thinks that you and I can't deal with Maitreya. Because their celestial daughters came to seduce their souls, we ran away with them."

Da Zhou: "...I wasn't allowed to go to the Maitreya faction, that's because I've been doing business here, okay? It's different for you, there are so many brothel chains, it doesn't matter where you stay, why are you driven here? "

The fourth brother complained: "I don't like women, why does Maitreya Tiannv seduce me, the first one knows nothing."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Da Zhou said: "Let's talk gossip, from what I feel these days, Lu Shiheng should not fall to Maitreya, on the contrary, he is more self-reliant, especially these days, using the excuse of Maitreya's possible changes, he wants to recruit troops regardless of spring plowing , the reverse is becoming more and more obvious, has Zhenmagic reported this matter?"

"No, the reported information is that Lu Shiheng is actively preparing for the war and is a loyal minister." The fourth brother smiled: "The first officer had doubts that the Xiangyang Zhenmai Division was not credible, so we needed an extra report from our spy division, and now it is confirmed by the first officer. You are right to worry, Xiangyang Town Magic Division has been abolished. In short, I have reported this matter to the chief, and let her consider it."

Zhao Changhe nodded secretly. Tang Wan's makeup made people think that she was coughing like sister Lin. In fact, she was the prime minister's template and never needed to be worried by others. There are two lines of light and dark in Zhenmasi. For example, Zhao Changhe himself is a secret agent. According to the situation of Da Zhou who has been doing business here for a long time, this is a dark line that has been laid out many years ago, and basically no one will guess. Da Zhou, who has been here for so many years, is a secret agent.

With the current situation in Xiangyang, Tang Wanzhuang has long distrusted the superficial government office, and activated the spy line behind the scenes, which is just in time.

"Then let's report this in advance." Da Zhou was worried: "Damn it, Maitreya hasn't settled yet, and every family has another disagreement. When will this chaos come to an end?"

The fourth brother said: "Don't think so far... I have received new news from the west, do you want to listen?"

Da Zhou wondered, "What news?"

The fourth brother smiled and said: "Wang Daozhong entered Kunlun, he went to prostitutes on the first day, and then he thought women were boring, so he went after a beautiful boy. The news of Kunlun has been spread these days, and it has reached here... you say Do you want to report it to the first seat?"

Da Zhou almost spit out the wine: "Are you sure it's Wang Daozhong? Does he have a wife and children?"

"It's boring, it's normal, the family is big..." The fourth brother raised his hands: "This is a trivial matter. The real big thing is that I heard that Wang Daozhong helped the Sixiang Sect to bring Yang Qianyuan back from Kunlun. Now Hongnong Yang position is beginning to blur.”

Da Zhou shook his head with a headache: "If I were the first seat, I might be coughing up blood now."

"But it may be because Wang Daozhong captured Yang Qianyuan and broke the rules of Kunlun. Later, he was besieged by Kunlun people and fled in a panic." The fourth brother sighed: "Tsk, Kunlun is indeed a dangerous place, and the people on the list went in. They can only run away in a hurry."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

The story in this kingly way was actually strung together by everyone, and the logic of the whole story was sorted out, which is epic.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the fourth brother went to open the door, and the person at the door whispered: "Fourth brother, I received a message from the first flying pigeon that she is already on her way to Xiangyang, and I want you to be careful, the pigeons come and go. If there are too many, there is a possibility of exposure... Try to avoid it in the future, don't do anything, it is best to evacuate."

Both of them were stunned, even Zhao Changhe, who was eavesdropping outside, was also stunned.

Listening to this, it doesn't seem like a large army is going to aid Xiangyang, but more like Tang Wanzhuang sneaked in alone.

If she analyzed from various clues that the Maitreya Sect was planning to attack Xiangyang, then she should have sent troops to help. Why did she come here alone?

Is it because Da Zhou and the fourth brother reported Lu Shiheng's objection and came here to stop it?

I have to say that it might have a certain effect, but this approach is not very in line with Tang Wanzhuang's style. Every time I hear that there is a rebellion in a place, I will run over to be a lobbyist to dissuade it. How is it possible...

What was the reason for her to come here?

Zhao Changhe was glad for a moment that he didn't go directly to Gusu, otherwise he would have missed the chance. No matter what she is here for now, she can always make an outpost by squatting here.

The two people in the flower hall looked at each other, the first one said that it would be better to avoid as much as possible or even evacuate, how could they still have the mood to continue drinking and talking?

Da Zhou hurriedly said goodbye and left: "Anyway, I have to go back and make arrangements. You can leave at any time. Since the first seat said, go quickly. The brothel is nothing but property. If you lose it, you lose it."

The fourth brother sent Da Zhou away, still scratching his head, what's going on, did the chief know something that none of their local spies knew? Suddenly seemed very nervous.

While hesitating, there was a knock on the door, and a person slowly walked into the hall, middle-aged and elegant, with long beard fluttering, like a well-educated gentleman, with a warm smile.

The fourth brother was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat: "City... the city owner?"

Lord of Xiangyang City, Xiaoxiang Excalibur Lu Shiheng.

"I didn't expect that the Zhenmagic Division had spies here, let alone our Mr. Si'an." Lu Shiheng chuckled: "Unexpected, unexpected."

Si'an took a deep breath: "What is the city lord talking about..."

Lu Shiheng said very warmly: "It's nothing...just want Mr. Si'an to cooperate with us in Xiangyang to do something."
