Lu Shiheng's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "The words of the leader are serious. Lu has been preparing for war these days, training soldiers day and night, recruiting masters... Unless Maitreya comes in person with a large army, he will rely on this to get rid of his few troops and horses to defeat me.
Xiangyang is not that easy."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled: "Really? The prefect is indeed a capable minister."
"I don't dare to accept this praise." Lu Shiheng said: "If there is something wrong with Xiangyang, it is the lack of money and food. Can the chief help transfer some to Jiangnan... Oh, the road is impassable, why not transfer some to Heluo?
There is plenty of food over there.”
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "I can't control Heluo."
Lu Shiheng was stunned: "Why? The leader is going south this time. It is said that His Majesty has given him great authority..."
Tang Wanzhuang said: "Because Hongnong Yang no longer listens, my power is invalid against them."
Lu Shiheng pretended to take a breath: "The Hongnong Yang family has been very low-key these years, isn't it just because Wang Daozhong helped them capture Yang Qianyuan? Just for this trivial matter?"
"You and I don't know the specific details... but this is at most just an introduction to contact. The contact may not be the Wang family, but also the Four Symbols Sect." Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful eyes turned on Lu Shiheng's face and said calmly: "
So if the Yang family goes south and attacks the Maitreya Sect from both sides...or if the Suzaku Xuanwu attacks the palace, will the prefect still have confidence?"
Tang Wanzhuang did not know that Lu Shiheng was colluding with the Maitreya Sect. She hurried to Xiangyang because she was worried that Lu Shiheng would join the alliance between the Wang family, the Yang family, and the Sixiang Sect.
Because Lu Shiheng was an old official of the Wang family, he had been taught swordsmanship by Wang Daoning and promoted him.
On the surface, Lu Shiheng was on the opposite side of Xiangyang and Langyatian. After the Wang family's attempts to test the world, Lu Shiheng had no contact with the Wang family and was his loyal minister of Great Xia. But once the power of the alliance reached this point, he could change flags casually.
A matter of words.
This kind of force is a hundred times more troublesome than the Maitreya Sect. The biggest reason is that they will not encounter resistance from various forces like the Maitreya Sect. For example, Lu Shiheng in front of him faces the Maitreya Sect and the Wang family and the Yang family, which are completely different.
Performance.
Before the Battle of Taihu, Tang Wanzhuang heard about the changes in the Yang family, and wanted to come to Xiangyang at that time. With her here, there was still a chance to shake Lu Shiheng's tendency, and she should at least give it a try... So just after the war,
Come here at starry night and seize the day.
That's why she reminded Li Si'an and Da Zhou that too many carrier pigeons would be exposed. This sentence was aimed at the city lord. Apart from the city lord, what other forces were qualified to pay attention to the carrier pigeons in the city? Once Lu Shiheng changed
, Li Si'an, Dazhou and others will be in great danger.
It's a pity that when I came here, I found that the situation in Xiangong Garden had changed, Li Si'an had been arrested, and Lu Shiheng's rebellious intentions had been revealed.
It's still too late... How can I repair the cracked sky all by myself?
At this moment, Lu Shiheng was saying: "The Northern Army needs to cross the river when it goes south, but it is not that easy... If the leader is worried about this, it is better to contact the capital. If the Yang family moves, attack their back, and the danger of Xiangyang will be solved. I think Yang
My family doesn’t have the guts.”
Of course, the Yang family does not have the courage. What they want is to take the important land of Xiangyang directly into their pockets without spending a single soldier.
Tang Wanzhuang sighed, and when she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed slightly.
Zhao Changhe's spiritual perception of the moon reflected in the water was taught by her. Even Zhao Changhe could often use this to sense dangers in the distance, let alone Tang Wanzhuang?
She clearly felt the sounds of more and more powerful people inside Xiangongyuan. The surrounding roofs were filled with powerful people forming formations, and powerful bows and crossbows surrounded the brothel.
When Lu Shiheng came to make these simple remarks, he actually arranged to be surrounded by people inside and outside. Was Lu Shiheng just waiting for him to come and dig into this trap?
Where did he have the courage to risk the disapproval of the world and openly hunt and kill the leader of the Demon Suppression Division in Xiangyang? Even the Wang family did not dare to do this, how could he, Lu Shiheng, dare?
Did he think he could control the whole city and conceal this matter? But the Tang family knew that he was here, and whether something happened was reported or not, you couldn't hide it from the Tang family. What were you doing?
Tang Wanzhuang's thoughts were racing, and she pretended not to know anything. She swallowed all the words she wanted to persuade as a lobbyist, and sipped her tea slowly: "Since the prefect said so, it seems that Wanzhuang is overly concerned. What the prefect said
It makes sense, I should go to Beijing immediately."
Lu Shiheng smiled and came over to give her tea: "It's already getting late, so there's no need to travel day and night like this. You might as well rest in Xiangyang for the night and hit the road again tomorrow morning. In fact, you can also send messages, and you don't need to run around in person.
.”
"If you stay here one more night, my head may be hanging on the city gate tomorrow morning." When the word "head" was mentioned, Tang Wanzhuang suddenly took action and grabbed Lu Shiheng's throat!
Lu Shiheng happened to lean over to refill the tea, and the blow was too fast to cover his ears. He only had time to tilt his head subconsciously, and Tang Wan's makeup had already hit his shoulder, causing a numbness all over his body.
Lu Shiheng regretted it too much. He knew clearly that this woman was ridiculously strong and acted vigorously and decisively, but her appearance was too deceptive. No matter how much he warned himself every time he faced her, he still wasn't so vigilant. This distance shouldn't be
He moved forward by himself. Poor Tangtang Renbang No. 48, he couldn't even block her attack, and had already been pinned down by acupoints.
Fortunately, the arrangement had been completed. As soon as Tang Wanzhuang made his move, the man who had been ambushing for a long time suddenly broke out of the wall and struck Tang Wanzhuang's back with a terrifying sword light.
Tang Wanzhuang was well prepared, her body turned around, her delicate hand brushed over, and she hit the opponent's knife side.
Then there was a "Hey" sound, and both sides shook slightly. The sword light disappeared, revealing Maitreya's fat body, shaped like a mountain of meat.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the makeup on the face was as heavy as water.
I never thought it was Maitreya!
How could it be Maitreya?
Tang Wanzhuang took a deep breath and said coldly: "I didn't expect it to be you... Can you give me an explanation, Prefect Lu?"
"What's the explanation?" Lu Shiheng, who had his acupoints tapped, became even calmer: "Didn't the leader see that he doesn't care about my life or death at all, he just wants your life? It's meaningless for you to use me as a pledge."
Maitreya didn't succeed in his move, but he was not in a hurry. He said with a smile: "Master Tang, I can't believe that we met again after only a day apart."
Tang Wanzhuang frowned slightly. Maitreya was injured by himself before and escaped in Taihu Lake, but he didn't expect to recover so quickly. Now he doesn't seem to be injured at all. Yesterday's victory seems to be illusory... Is the dual cultivation technique of Bliss Dafa really so magical?
She took a deep breath and said coldly: "Buddha thought he had a plan, but he never thought that as the leader of one party, going deep into the enemy's territory, this kind of behavior... not only is the situation low, but also actually becomes someone else's chess?"
"Chess?" Maitreya said with a smile: "It's nothing more than giving the blame for the death of the Tang Dynasty leader in Xiangyang to me, Maitreya Cult. But in fact, if I want to take over this city, there will be others in the palace who will get in the way, either Wang Daoning or Yang Jingxiu... But
So what? I am not afraid of taking the blame for killing you, and the plan of the Wang and Yang families may not come true. After killing you, I will play chess with them again."
Tang Wanzhuang asked: "Could it be that Prefect Lu has actually been controlled by your goddess?"
"What do you think?" Maitreya smiled and said, "Including you...these famous families are aloof and think that selling face is more useful than anything else. That's all fucking fake."
Tang Wanzhuang didn't answer, but there was some truth in what he said. He also overestimated his own face, so he came here alone... Of course, it wasn't all about face, but the power, background, and various aspects. There were many considerations behind it, but the skills
The brainwashing and control are enough to make these things become nothing.
This is the unique advantage of cults such as Maitreya Sect and Four Symbols Sect, which makes everyone's usual thinking go into misunderstandings.
Maitreya said with a smile: "Master Tang, you and I have fought against each other several times before, and I have actually suffered a lot. The first time at the Sword Lake was the dispute between us and the Four Symbols Sect. You intervened suddenly, and I don't want to fight you. The second time
The second time in your Tang family, Zhao Changhe and Tang Buqi ruined my big event. The power was not mine, and I had no intention of fighting. Yesterday in the battle of Taihu Lake, you and I were evenly matched, but Tang Buqi took advantage of it and defeated our army.
Formation. And today..."
He pointed to the outside of the house where a group of Maitreya believers were surrounding him: "This situation belongs to me."
Then he pointed to the location of the prefect's mansion in the distance: "Your right-hand man, Li Si'an, who is even considered the source of the Secret Service's money, is in the hands of my Goddess at the moment. Not only does his life depend on me, but even his money belongs to me.
It belongs to my holy religion.”
After saying this, he looked up and down Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful body, showing a strange smile: "Do you want the Chief Tang to just abandon your arms and go away? This Xiangyang, this Jiangnan, this reputation, this heart. You...
…Do you still want it?”
Tang Wanzhuang knew that his words were nothing more than offensive.
Everyone is always on par, and as long as one party is confused, he will lose. It was Maitreya who was confused before, but this time it seems that it is his turn.
Tang Wanzhuang slowly drew out the Spring Water Blue Wave Sword and pointed it at Maitreya, with a calm expression: "Maybe you don't know something."
Maitreya smiled and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"You and I have been evenly matched several times. That's because... I'm letting you."
Maitreya's expression changed slightly, and then he sneered: "Then let's try, see if you cough to death first, or can you explode and kill me first?"
