"Although my Tang family is in Gusu, the surname in Gusu is not Tang, and it is different from the Cui family in Qinghe." In the carriage, Tang Buqi leaned in the arms of the maid and drank wine leisurely, and briefly introduced the situation in Gusu to Zhao Changhe:
"My Tang family is not a top-notch family like the Cui family. It's hard to compare. I suggest you keep an eye on Cui Yuanyang more. Ah, don't think about anything else."
Zhao Changhe was speechless and leaned against the wall of the compartment, one leaning against the maid and the other against the compartment wall. He was already upset, but he was even more upset by these words: "Introducing Gusu, just introduce Gusu, why are you talking about the Cui family?"
Tang Buqi felt quite comfortable: "Isn't this convenient for you to make an intuitive comparison?"
"I don't need you to compare. Everyone has heard of Qinghe Cui. Has anyone heard of Gusu Tang? The rookie seems very proud of it."
"...The Tang family was at least a famous family in the current dynasty! It has the merit of following the dragon! How could others not have heard of it? Who is the novice that the Beimang bandits said?"
"I think if there hadn't been a Tang Wanzhuang, who was ranked among the top three at a young age and was a first-class member of the dynasty, he was able to support this family... If they are all like you... sne, in the future, the former Yan of the Tang family will fly into
A house of robbers is not unimaginable..."
Tang Buqi glared angrily: "Every family has someone who specializes in studying, but they don't rely on martial arts to govern the country!"
"Really? Why is your aunt so eager to break through that she hurts the lung meridian? I suggest your family think about it carefully. Don't take advantage of others' hard work and leisurely lean on the little maid to eat grapes. You are simply doing this.
Drink her blood."
Tang Buqi was stunned for a moment, his scowl gradually disappeared, he looked at the wine in a daze and stopped talking.
Zhao Changhe looked at him sideways for a long time, and finally said nothing more, turning to the main topic: "So there are many large and small families in Gusu, right. The Tang family, by virtue of its position as the head of the Demon Suppression Division, should be considered the leader in the local area."
"……good."
"By the way, is there Gusu Murong? I think they are more famous than the Tang family."
"I've never heard of it. How did you hear all this nonsense?"
"Do you have any clues about the suspected evil place? Is it the Tiger Hill Sword Pond?"
Tang Buqi was a little surprised: "Hey, where do you know about Gusu? Haven't you been in the north all your life?"
"Hmm, is that right?"
"That's right! The Tiger Hill Sword Pond is on the hill behind my house!"
Zhao Changhe: "Grass."
"But having said that, a long time ago, oh, let's say in the last era, there was indeed talk about the problem of evil spirits in the Tiger Hill Sword Pond, and there might be evil swords hidden in it. But my family has already circled this place, and generations before and after have been here for a long time.
I felt it clearly and found nothing, so what I said this time should have nothing to do with it."
Zhao Changhe rubbed his chin and pondered. It may not be irrelevant. Judging from the previous experience in Gujian Lake, there might be a copy. It's just that a group of strong men in your family were patrolling and the copy was closed.
"Are there any rumors about haunting in your family? Has anyone been attacked by evil spirits? Could your aunt's illness be related to this?"
"I know what you are thinking...but unfortunately, no. My aunt's illness was caused in the capital last year, not at home."
"..." Zhao Changhe still feels that the possibility exists. According to current experience, the rumors related to the "last era" are beyond the understanding of the low-level martial arts people at that time. It is normal for them to be confused.
Of course, this is only a possibility and does not represent a fact. You still have to go to Suzhou to explore for details.
"What about other rumors? How does Fa Yuan judge that the thing is more likely to be in Suzhou?"
"How do I know what Fa Yuan's judgment is based on? The reply was not finished yet."
During the discussion, the maid who had been feeding Tang Buqi wine and grapes hesitated to speak: "There were rumors before going out that someone suddenly went crazy and started killing people in the south market of the city, and was killed on the spot by a passing young master of the Lu family.
I originally thought it was an accidental incident, but then Mr. Lu suddenly went crazy, and people said he was possessed. Then we went out, and we don’t know what happened next.”
Tang Buqi was startled: "Young master of the Lu family, is he Lu Shaoxiong? This guy and I are still friends, why didn't I hear about it?"
The maid looked at him carefully: "Young master, you were drunk in Xunhua Lane for five days at that time, and young mistress was crying at home... When you came back, you were scolded by the master, so you were kicked out to practice."
Tang Buqi's face turned into a pig's liver.
Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked out the car window.
There was no more conversation along the way, the chat had been killed.
Originally, it was just an incident of madly slashing people and going crazy. It was a common thing and didn't mean anything. But since the two incidents are related, and it happens in the context of the Maitreya Sect looking for this evil place, it makes sense.
It's worth exploring.
…………
Yangzhou is not far from Suzhou. The group speeded up and arrived quickly.
On the contrary, I felt that the closer I got to Suzhou, the less weird the atmosphere of Maitreya Religion became. I never saw any scenes of worshiping Buddha or Maitreya, and I never heard people talking about "Buddha" or "Bodhisattva" wherever I went.
There are temples, but they are also very deserted.
It seems that even if the Maitreya religion spreads all over the south of the Yangtze River, at least in Suzhou, the base camp of late Tang Dynasty makeup, it still dare not easily bubble up. Even if it does exist, it is developing and infiltrating in secret, which is much better than the situation in Yangzhou.
But Zhao Changhe still intuitively felt that the Maitreya Sect would not wait until everything was ready.
The Incident in Yangzhou will definitely be a huge blow to the Maitreya Sect. If the list of names and various information found out continues, the Maitreya Sect's many years of development near Yangzhou will probably be in vain soon. Most likely the leader of the Maitreya Sect will not sit back and watch.
If this situation continues, there is a great possibility that it will start early.
During the Yangzhou Incident, Maitreya was looking for evil spirit treasures in Jinling. He didn't know what happened, but he must know it now, and he has most likely returned to the main altar to prepare for operations. The opportunity to start may be Chili's information connection after he returned.
If people go south, the Maitreya Sect in Jiangnan will definitely cause trouble.
This is a deduction on the surface.
During this process, the Maitreya Sect will not let go of Gusu, a pure land surrounded by Jiangnan that has not been invaded by the Maitreya Sect, and will definitely take action. If no corresponding precautions are taken, the disaster of the Tang family may come unexpectedly.
At this moment, Gusu is most likely to have its last peace.
I don’t know if Tang Wanzhuang will have thought of this after receiving the report from Yangzhou. In short, it seems that Tang Buqi has not thought of it now, let alone the Tang family.
When we arrived at Tang's house, we couldn't even see the solemn atmosphere of the impending mountain rain. Servants came and went. When we walked in, we heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the attic in the distance. A large group of people nearby were surrounding Tang Buqi to inquire about his welfare:
"The young master is back?"
"Young master has been working hard out of the house...Oh, I'm already tanned."
"I heard that the young master killed barbarians with force, outsmarted the assassination of the prefect, and thwarted the Maitreya Sect's conspiracy in Yangzhou!"
"Young master really makes us proud!"
If Zhao Changhe was not around, Tang Buqi would definitely hold his head high and enjoy the admiration. But feeling Zhao Changhe's squinting eyes and half-smiling expression beside him, Tang Buqi just wanted to cover his face: "Okay.
Okay, what's the point of bragging about a small thing? Let's prepare a whole guest house and greet my guests."
The servants looked at Zhao Changhe, knowing clearly that this was Qianlong Thirty-eight, who was much more powerful than everyone present, but there was some invisible contempt in their eyes.
The young master is really able to play with anyone. I used to suspect that a certain old beggar was a peerless master, and even invited someone to his house to greet him. In the end, it was confirmed that he was the real old beggar, which made the master very angry. This time he brought a new man to the world.
Bandits...
Of course, I don't dare to show this attitude in front of Tang Buqi. The young master can hit people if he acts violently.
Then a housekeeper nodded and bowed: "Mr. Zhao, please come with me to the quiet guest house. Mr. Bao is satisfied."
Zhao Changhe took in all the people's expressions and smiled slightly.
The aristocratic family...the home maintained by Tang Wanzhuang.
He was too lazy to care about this, and just said: "It's okay to live wherever you like. It's serious to look after my horse. Then someone will take me to the back mountain. I want to see the Tiger Hill Sword Pond first."
