The Book of Troubled Times

It was not easy until the evening of the next day, when Tang Wanzhuang didn't come.

Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, changed into plain clothes, wiped off the scars, carried a basket of ducks, and went honestly to the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.

The janitor didn't have any doubts about the freshman's face, he just asked casually: "Swapped?"

Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Yes, several of them have joined the army."

The janitor is called eating melons and eating his own house, and sighed indifferently: "Well, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere... Do you know the way? If you don't know the way, just go in and find someone to take it with you. Go in and observe some rules, don't look around and don't mess around Run, go to the back kitchen to deliver the goods, then return the same way."

Zhao Changhe responded honestly, and asked a servant honestly when he entered the door, and was led straight to the back kitchen to hand over the ducks.

Along the way, I watched six roads and listened to all directions, but I didn't find anything, but I could feel that the internal guards were a bit ridiculously strict.

On this road alone, I met several patrolling guards, and occasionally I could hear subtle and long breathing, which is a sign of a master, not an ordinary housekeeper who has practiced a few hands.

Seeing the spectacle and seeing the leopard, the strength of this backyard alone is enough for an ordinary gang to establish a sect.

Although it is understandable that a city lord's backyard guards are strict, this kind of guarding strength of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry is still a bit abnormal, especially when Lu Shiheng has not returned to the mansion at this time, what are they guarding?

When we arrived at the back kitchen, a steward complained: "Why did the duck come so late today? Hey, it's been replaced..."

Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "I'm not familiar with the road, so I'm a bit late..."

"Let's put it here." The steward said, "Go back and tell Da Zhou that we will double the number of ducks that will be delivered tomorrow. The guests especially love his ducks, and Da Zhou is doing us good looks."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head with a simple and honest face: "Our boss's duck, who in Xiangyang doesn't like to eat it."

"What about Xiangyang? It's a guest from the north. This is called North-South Tongsha." The steward didn't say much, and waved his hand: "Go back, go back, you know the same way, don't run around, you will be hacked and no one can save you. .”

Guests from the North...

Zhao Changhe left the back kitchen in a leisurely manner, walked to a place where the guards could not see, suddenly accelerated, and walked towards the direction of the guest courtyard.

Who will go back the same way with you... Isn't it just in case something goes wrong, can you have an excuse to get lost if you don't know the way...

Even if Wanzhuang doesn't arrive today, she will definitely arrive tomorrow... It doesn't matter if you can't find out what's going on, at least you have to rescue Li Si'an first, otherwise there will be hostages in other people's hands, and things will be difficult to do.

The guest house where Li Sian was under house arrest was easy to find, because he could often hear servants chatting about Mr. Li who was locked in yesterday.

"It is said that the city lord ordered Mr. Li to play with the maid casually... This is so cool."

"However, they didn't touch any of them, and all the maids were driven away...Let's not talk about the maids. Didn't they say that they often send concubines to each other, what is so-called flirtatious? It is said that the eighteenth aunt went to accompany Mr. Li, I don’t know what’s going on now, have they been driven away?”

"Hiss...Eighteen aunt's winking eyes could glance at me, and my life would be shortened by eighteen years. I don't believe that Mr. Li is willing to drive him away, he must be dying!"

"You are the same as you? That's the big proprietor who has brothels all over the land of Jingchu. What kind of beautiful girl have you never seen?"

"I don't believe anyone is prettier than Aunt Eighteen!"

Amidst the discussions, Zhao Changhe arrived at the gate of Li Si'an's guest courtyard in a hurry. Under the vigilant eyes of a group of guards, he swept across the blind corner of the courtyard wall like the wind, and landed lightly behind a tree of flowers, silently observing.

Sure enough, a charming whisper came from the room: "Why do you have to do this, sir, the city lord doesn't care about sending concubine Ji..."

Li Si'an's voice came: "I care."

"Sir, you play too many unowned ones. Isn't this owned one fun?"

"...I haven't played Masterless either."

"You run a brothel..."

"Yes, I don't like women, madam please go back."

The door opened, and a charming woman was thrown out, and she staggered a few steps before standing still.

The door slammed shut, and the woman blushed with anger: "A dead rabbit that kills a thousand knives!"

Zhao Changhe held his breath tightly, his heart skipped a beat.

He can't see the exercises of other families, but he can still feel the characteristics of the exercises he has practiced, such as the evil spirit of the Blood God Sect, and... the sluggish aura of the Ultimate Bliss Dafa. Those are typical highlights that are different from other practices.

Maitreya teaches the goddess!

No wonder Lu Shiheng is so willing, he really treats his concubine to guests, the daring has a purpose... Zhen has sex with Maitreya's celestial girl, and he doesn't know what's going on when he is controlled.

But isn't Lu Shiheng's attitude very against Maitreya? In Xiangyang City, one can scold the emperor, but it is taboo for anyone to mention welcoming Maitreya.

What's even more outrageous is that according to Zhao Changhe's own definite news, Maitreya and the Blood God Sect are planning to attack Xiangyang City from both sides! The Blood God Sect that the Maitreya envoy I saw with my own eyes couldn't be wrong.

What's going on here?

Zhao Changhe looked up, the sun had completely set.

The Maitreya celestial maiden was calling to her subordinate maid: "Come here, tell Lu Shiheng, stop being indecisive, I'm going to be tough here, I'm afraid it won't be too late."

…………

Not long after Zhao Changhe entered the City Lord's Mansion, Tang Wanzhuang arrived in Xiangyang under the setting sun.

She didn't go through the city gate, she floated lightly over the towering city wall, and went directly to Xiangong Garden.

In fact, Lu Shiheng didn't expect Tang Wanzhuang to come so quickly. The ideal state is to control or instigate Li Si'an, and let Li Si'an come to cheat Tang Wanzhuang by himself, then it will be safe.

This is also the reason why Lu Shiheng didn't directly attack Li Si'an, he needed Li Si'an to do something.

As a result, Li Si'an didn't make any progress, and made no progress in the whole day, but here Tang Wanzhuang had already arrived.

Fortunately, Xiangongyuan has already changed people and made sufficient preparations. It is impossible for Tang Wanzhuang to know what each of his subordinates in Xiangyang looks like, so he can fool around for the time being.

The steward arranged by Lu Shiheng wiped his sweat to welcome Tang Wanzhuang: "Senior, why are you here?"

Tang Wanzhuang looked around and frowned slightly: "Why are they all faces, what about Si'an?"

"Fourth brother has something to do, he should be back in the evening, let's take a break first, have a meal?"

Tang Wanzhuang narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled brightly: "Okay, let's have something light."

This smile really made everyone around them go numb.

Some people say that if there is a selection of the most beautiful woman in the world, Tang Shouzuo is very likely to be at the top of the list. People who haven't seen it think it's bragging, but after seeing it in person, it's really well-known, and immediately feel that the whole fairy palace is full of vulgar fans? Including some of the maidens of the Maitreya sect that Lu Shiheng secretly replaced, they are said to be fascinating, but compared with Tang Shouzuo, that's nothing.

The steward arranged a light meal, and didn't dare to prescribe medicine. He was the third place on the list and the first place in the Daxia Town Magic Division. It really couldn't be solved by ordinary medicine, and it might be seen as a problem.

It's a pity that Tang Wan's makeup came too fast, and many arrangements were too late to be arranged.

He arranged everything as usual, and carefully waited on the side: "What do you want to order, sir? Do you want to see City Lord Lu?"

Tang Wanzhuang drank the porridge leisurely, and said with a smile: "Well, tell me about City Lord Lu, come here and meet..."

The steward didn't find anything wrong with what he said, so he backed away with a smile, and flew to report to Lu Shiheng... In fact, he didn't need to report, the first time Tang Wanzhuang came here, someone flew to report to Lu Shiheng.

Tang Wanzhuang watched his retreating back, a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Something went wrong here...

The real subordinates of Zhenmasi's secret agents will definitely feel astonished at the matter of "letting the city lord come to our spy station to talk about things". Isn't this directly exposing the secret base we have operated for so many years to the city lord?

But the manager didn't think about it at all...

It can only prove that either this place has been exposed long ago, and they all know that they have betrayed... or this person is directly from Lu Shiheng's people, not Li Si'an's people.

Tang Wanzhuang's expression did not change, she drank the porridge calmly, thinking in her heart that it was still a bit late, if Li Si'an was caught, it would be difficult to do things by herself.

It's a pity that in this situation, no one can help to save Li Si'an... Even if he can secretly send a sound transmission to inform Da Zhou, Da Zhou doesn't have enough strength, instead he will be exposed for nothing.

Forget it, let's see Lu Shiheng first, and see what he is doing.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Shiheng smiled heartily, and stepped in: "The first person came to Xiangyang, why didn't he go to the city lord's mansion, but came to the brothel? It doesn't sound good to hear it."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "No one else, but Mr. Si'an is just a visiting friend because Mr. Si'an is an old friend of the Tang family. Please sit down, prefect."

Prefect, this is the real official position, and Daxia does not have the position of "city lord".

But Lu Shiheng intentionally or unintentionally let people only call him the city lord. Over time, people even forgot that he was the prefect of Xiangyang in Daxia, as if he was really the lord of the city.

Tang Wanzhuang's first sentence made the atmosphere in the whole hall a little stagnant.

But Lu Shiheng didn't seem to feel it, and he cupped his hands and smiled naturally: "The first one defeated Maitreya in Taihu Lake yesterday, and today he has arrived in Xiangyang. He is so non-stop, but what is the military matter?"

"Not bad." Tang Wanzhuang said lightly: "If I come a day late, I'm afraid Xiangyang will be a great blessing, and it will no longer be owned by Daxia."
