Zhao Changhe still wanted to show off his face, but he did not publicly attend the grand farewell breakfast banquet with Huangfu Qing. He hid in his yard and ate breakfast because his kidneys were burning hot.
Huangfu Qingcai didn't bother to care so much. He went to the banquet dressed up as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing as usual, as if he didn't know what others were slandering.
Yang Jingxiu also acted as if he didn't know what was going on, and the scene was full of flowers. He thanked the imperial concubine for coming to the birthday banquet.
abundant.
Tang Wanzhuang excused herself from feeling unwell and did not come to eat. Cui Yuanyang was the only one sitting at the table, poking a rabbit-shaped birthday peach with his kuaizi until his buttocks were almost broken.
It’s not pleasant to see Huangfu Qing sitting there looking radiant and refreshed...
It was originally mine. Why are you so proud of it? Isn't it just because you are older and I am afraid that your time will be numbered?
Huangfuqing glanced at her with a friendly smile of a victor: "How about Miss Cui's traveling with me today?"
Cui Yuanyang poked and prodded: "Who wants to go with you..."
Huangfu said affectionately: "I'll let you smell it on the way, it will give you a sense of participation."
Cui Yuanyang(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Huangfu Qing won a great victory and led everyone back to the capital.
The only fly in the ointment is that the man surnamed Tang still dares not come out to meet him. It’s a pity that he lacks the chance to make a few mocking words, so he has to let the scheming little bitch of the Cui family take the blame...
Although she tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit for the first time, she was reluctant to leave right away, but Suzaku is Suzaku after all, and will not be obsessed with being around her face. She wants to do her thing. She doesn't even want to say goodbye, it's so boring and boring.
Well, as long as we treat it as face-to-face, many things will be much easier to accept...
I don’t know if Wang Daozhong was robbed or not. Judging from the situation, at least there was no incident like Xia Longyuan killing Wang Daoning or Wang Daoning killing Qin Dingjiang. On the surface, everything seemed calm.
Huangfuqing is very interested in the changes in this matter... The Wang family, which used to be thought to be a giant, now seems to be leaking out everywhere, worse than the imperial court. Their anti-thief cooperation was originally led by the Wang family, but now
It seems that it is still unclear who is in charge of the ups and downs.
In fact, the little piggy-faced pig just asked herself to "convey to the Lord" that she hoped Suzaku would participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Maitreya. After careful consideration, Huangfu only said that she would report back to the Lord for her to make a decision, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.
Although the Four Symbols Sect and the Maitreya Sect were unable to deal with each other due to their different beliefs, and they even killed each other's Jiangbei Buddha, the attack in this situation was a bit different.
After all, they are all rebels in the general direction, not to mention that in this case, encircling and suppressing Maitreya is simply acting as a thug for the Tang family... Simply saying that Maitreya can be wiped out too easily is not in the interest of the rebels.
But there was one thing about this matter that really concerned her, and Zhao Changhe also used this point to ask her to "convey the message to His Holiness": that was the shadow of the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya.
There is no one who is not interested in following the footsteps of the ancients. The more people are on the Heavenly List, the more interested they are... In the past, I only had various relics and relics. This is the first time to see a real person. How can Suzaku not be a little itchy?
At other times, it is impossible to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with such a "god and Buddha", experience the opponent's strength level with your own hands, or even directly capture him for questioning... This time may be the best opportunity. Can the Four Symbols Sect fall behind?
The queen? Tang Wanzhuang picked everything up and couldn't get anything...
From this point of view, not only do you want to go by yourself, but you'd better ask the dead turtle to go too... Don't say that a good thing is missing out on the sisters.
It's really confusing.
Well... no matter whether she goes or not, it is always right to let the dead turtle come to the capital to meet and chat, and give her a good beating first!
…………
"If you are dating her, will it affect Zhuque's decision-making?" Tang Wanzhuang asked, sitting in the courtyard with a calm look on her face.
The so-called "if you really violate human ethics, I will be very disappointed", the facts prove that it does not exist.
Zhao Changhe sat in front of her like a primary school student and secretly watched her for a long time. He couldn't see her mood or anger, so he answered honestly: "Whether she can influence Suzaku's decision-making is not important, and I don't want to take advantage of her feelings... uh... anyway, the key point is
What's more, Suzaku should be interested in the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya. There is a high possibility that she will take action, and I suspect Xuanwu may be involved. Their sect attaches more importance to this than aristocratic families and other sects."
Tang Wanzhuang seemed not to understand what his pause meant, and said calmly: "Yes, she can influence Suzaku's decision-making."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
Tang Wanzhuang changed the subject: "Actually, judging from the one who tried to scare me off before, you are not so strong that you are so cautious about inviting all the heroes... at least there are big restrictions. Do you know something else?"
of?"
"There should indeed be some restrictions when they come to this world to take action, so that they need to seek agents for many things. But if we want to eradicate the roots and invade his secret realm, his behavior will definitely not be the same as that day. Don't say I am cautious.
, I even want to use all the power I can use to press forward. At this moment, I am thinking whether I should visit the Shenhuang Sect..."
"Almost..." Tang Wanzhuang said: "The more people, the better... Just like your former Green Forest, if the alliance does something big, the final division of the spoils may lead to internal strife. Now Ying Wu needs the secret realm, and the Yang family owes
You are a favor and need your treatment. The Cui family is helping my uncle, and the Four Symbols Sect may want to pry into the secrets of gods and Buddhas. It can be said that there is no conflict with each other. Once they are reconciled, everyone can be happy. Once Li's supernatural power is used again, you don't know what he wants.
, maybe it’s inappropriate. If there are still colluding forces in the future, you need to take this into consideration.”
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've been taught a lesson."
"I am your master." Tang Wanzhuang raised her tea cup and took a sip of tea gracefully.
Zhao Changhe looked at her again and hesitated to speak.
Tang Wanzhuang put down her tea cup and sighed: "It's a pity that a certain apprentice daughter-in-law was so rude that she didn't know how to offer tea to the master before she left."
Baoqin also wanted to speak but stopped.
Come on, miss. I don’t know how angry I will be if I meet you. Don’t send it away.
Tang Wanzhuang looked to her left and then to her right. Their expressions were both irritating, and she put down her tea cup with a little more force, making a "clang" sound.
Zhao Changhe was sitting upright.
Tang Wanzhuang said with a straight face: "What I said last night, as long as you are not stupid, you will know that I deliberately provoked her to help you succeed. It's ridiculous that someone thought that he was taking advantage... Why do both of them think that I am
Not happy? You want me to give you a good beating, right?"
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically and said, "No, no..."
Tang Wanzhuang seemed not to hear, and nodded to herself: "Since you asked so, I will reluctantly satisfy you."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
"Bang!" The next moment he was overthrown, Tang Wanzhuang beat him viciously and walked away.
"Let's go, Jiangnan!"
…………
When they went north to Hongnong, Jiangnan was in full swing to suppress the Maitreya Sect.
The rise and fall of Maitreya is very similar to the Yellow Turban in the late Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was huge and sweeping, but after a few rounds of sniping at key points, the momentum visibly weakened.
At first, the attempt to connect with the foreign tribes had some effect. The imperial troops, money and food were all tied up, and they were unable to organize a large-scale southward force.
However, the resistance of the Jiangnan nobles alone caused the Maitreya Sect to fall into a quagmire and make little progress.
It is a trivial matter to collude with the Wang family and be destroyed by Zhao Changhe. In fact, killing the messenger in front of the door is not the key to hindering the collusion between the two. The real key is that Wang Daoning despises the Maitreya Cult. The noble family's contempt for this grassroots cult comes from
This is the reason that can be seen in the bones, including the resistance of wealthy families in various parts of the south.
It is also for this reason that when the Maitreya Sect gained the upper hand in the early days, there was no way to massacre the city and exterminate the clan. If the local nobles did not cooperate, if you did not kill them, you would only create chaos in the rear and stab them at any time.
But the more this happens, the more vicious the cycle becomes, so that the road becomes narrower and narrower.
When the barbarians were repelled and the imperial court was able to support the south, it became increasingly difficult to defeat Maitreya. When Tang Buqi defeated the main force of Maitreya on the eastern front in Taihu, it was basically possible to declare the countdown to Maitreya's defeat.
In the end, they placed great hope on the Xiangyang line, and even had a certain chance to kill Tang Wanzhuang, but Zhao Changhe appeared out of nowhere and brought the Blood God Sect. The whole thing was messed up, and even Maitreya himself was seriously injured and returned.
From then on, Tang Buqi called on the heroes in the south and launched a major counterattack against Maitreya. In just ten months, all the lost ground was recovered, and the troops reached Kuaiji, Maitreya's base camp.
According to many historical deductions, this is called the vanguard of the king. The growing forces in the fight against Maitreya may start a new round of competition. For example, Lu Shiheng was one of them. And led the allied forces to defeat Maitreya.
The commander-in-chief may become the new overlord.
Daxia's good luck is that this commander-in-chief is a product of the Tang family, and what's even better luck is that he has an aunt above him regardless of what he said.
When Zhao Changhe went all the way south, he felt very strange in his heart. He had never thought that Nima's Tang Buqi almost had a chance to compete in the world... Is there something wrong with this world...
If it weren't for Tang Wanzhuang's pressure, he seemed to be able to do it... But then again, without Tang Wanzhuang's prestige and the help of the powerful generals of the Demon Suppression Division, no one would pay attention to Tang Buqi in the early stage, and he would not even have a chance to grow.
No……
What Zhao Changhe didn't understand the most was that at first it was said that troubled times were coming, but it was obvious that every family was still waiting for an opportunity, and they are still waiting for the opportunity. And where did Maitreya get his confidence? A year ago, it was clear that the time was not yet ripe.
Dare you be the first to pull the flag?
Is it because I am uneducated, have not studied history, and cannot understand the situation clearly?
Or was it forced to advance after the two events in Yangzhou and Suzhou were disrupted?
Or is he too confident in his alliance with the Hu people and too underestimating the power of the southern gentry?
Or was it because of the urging of the gods and demons behind them that they had no choice but to do it? What were they thinking?
Zhao Changhe was very interested... Not to mention that Suzaku Xuanwu was interested in gods and demons, the person who was really most interested in him was Zhao Changhe. And this was also the first time, except for the blind man, that he had truly faced gods and demons head-on.
