It was so dense that neither wind nor light could pass through. Zhao Rang was already in a daze, not knowing what time it was outside.
It was already afternoon after they had finished washing up among the guests in green shirts. By the time we arrived at Black Street, it was already evening.
Conservative estimates suggest that it should be late at night now, and there must be no one outside.
"Is it time to meet the princess?"
Zhao Rang couldn't sit still.
Especially after hearing that Amani might have arrived in Shanye King City, he couldn't wait to meet her.
Zhao Rang felt that this princess was different from Amani's letter to Khadiya and Aziz, as well as from the past events that Aziz mentioned twenty years ago. Different from the last time they met, Amani should have reserved a lot. After all, she didn't know Zhao Rang's character. She could only talk to him about the affairs of Lan Mo Junior High School in a matter-of-fact manner, which at most involved the Admiralty Escort Bureau. Arrow and Prince Anzuo.
Later, she must have found out about what Zhao Rang did along the way through other channels. What happened in Chagan Tologai was definitely an important node in changing Amani's attitude towards Zhao Rang.
As the most important trade route between the four countries in the Western Region, the closure of Tongbao Bank for three days and the bizarre fire all revealed something unusual. There must have been businessmen from the Lanmo Kingdom who passed by and told Amani what happened here. After many tests, she was able to draw the most appropriate conclusion.
Although Haidiya, Aziz, and Amani are just narrating, it is not difficult to see their attitudes towards the religion between them. After twenty years of forbearance, I must have made sufficient preparations. All I need is an opportunity.
This kind of opportunity often cannot arise on its own, and a variable is needed to break the original balance.
It is obvious that Zhao Rang and his party are this variable.
However, Zhao Rang was not stupid enough to sacrifice his life for the people of the Western Regions.
Unloading mills and killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges are normal in the world, not to mention that this is the Western Region and they are Dawei people.
Therefore, what Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong have to do most is not only to break the old balance and bring them opportunities, but also to find a new balance. It can not only completely eliminate the divine religion that has been entrenched in the Western Region for more than 20 years, but also allow himself and others to escape intact.
"Master Zhao and Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan, I will send someone to ask in a moment. You two can go downstairs to have a rest. Other friends are also there."
Zhao Rang thought for a while, and both Yuan Mingkong nodded.
We are already on someone else's territory. It is the minimum principle to follow the arrangements and the most basic respect for each other.
Besides, you can take advantage of this time to relax and quiet your mind. When I saw Amani, I didn’t know what the situation was like.
When he just went upstairs, Zhao Rang was so busy with things that he didn't even notice that there was a guest room in Chunhua Building.
This floor is full of spacious and comfortable guest rooms, and there is a large bucket of ice cubes in each room.
Opening the door, the coolness hit my face, which was very comfortable.
In the hall, Ximen Dazhuang was leaning his head on the back of a chair, snoring loudly. Zhao Rang looked around, but did not see Ye Sanniang and Yuan Kexin.
Yuan Mingkong was worried about his sister and asked anxiously:
"Where have they gone?"
Haidiya sent a girl to follow and wait on them. When they were talking in the secret room just now, it was these girls and Aziz's guys who led Ximen Dazhuang and others downstairs.
Seeing Yuan Mingkong's anxious look, Zhao Rang patted his arm, and then pointed at Ximen Dazhuang.
It means don't worry, Yuan Kexin is absolutely fine.
Otherwise, how could Ximen Dazhuang sleep so soundly? Although his reaction is slower and his thinking is very different from normal people, he can still distinguish between good and evil.
Yuan Mingkong glanced at Ximen Dazhuang and felt a little relieved.
Just as the girl from the Western Region was about to explain, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Sanniang led Yuan Kexin in. Both of them were holding baskets with many things in large and small bags.
"Brother! Are you done?"
Yuan Kexin was very happy.
"Well, where have you been?"
Yuan Kexin said:
"The boss lady and I went shopping and bought a lot of things!"
Then he took them out one by one, showing Yuan Mingkong one by one.
What Yuan Kexin bought were mostly trinkets, including bracelets, pendants, and some small shiny objects. She didn't know what they were made of.
"These are all crystals. I heard they are produced in the mountains of Shanye Country. The store hired people to dig them out."
"Brother, look at how good my pair of earrings are!"
Ye Sanniang didn't buy anything. The basket she was carrying was full of food.
"Sugar-coated haws?"
"Don't eat."
"Roasted chestnuts with sugar?"
"Don't eat..."
Ye Sanniang asked several questions in succession, but Zhao Rang refused to eat.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked:
"Why are you buying things from Venus?"
The implication is why not buy some of the unique features of Night Kingdom.
"There is only so much food in the Western Regions, and you can also eat it in Yangguan. But the food made in Dawei here is more authentic than that in Shanye Kingdom!"
Zhao Rang didn't speak anymore, reached out and grabbed a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from the oil paper bag and ate them.
Ye Sanniang is not greedy, she just misses this unique taste of Dawei.
"It is too sweet!"
I ate one candied haws and put it down. Instead, he and Zhao Rang ate fried chestnuts with sugar.
The chestnuts are still steaming when you peel them open, and you can't help but breathe when you put them in your mouth.
After eating several in one breath, Zhao Rang finally freed his mouth and said:
"Amani is here."
"Um."
"The leader of Shan Ye Kingdom is fake. Twenty years ago, this country began to be controlled by the Broken God Religion!"
"Um."
Zhao Rang said a lot of things that shocked him just now, but Ye Sanniang was always tepid and only responded lightly after he finished speaking.
"You don't seem interested at all?"
Ye Sanniang peeled another roasted chestnut, threw it into her mouth and said:
"You are too interested, and it is easy for others to lead you around."
"Of course, you still have to make your own judgment."
Zhao Rang immediately calmed down and was completely immersed in his own spirit. Nothing from the outside world could interfere with him.
Suddenly Ye Sanniang touched him with her elbow, and Zhao Rang suddenly came back to his senses, only to see Haidiya and Aziz standing in front of him.
"Can you go?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Haidiya nodded.
With Ye Sanniang's reminder just now, Zhao Rang was not in a hurry and continued to ask very calmly:
"Where to go?"
Haidiye and Aziz obviously felt that Zhao Rang's attitude was different from before. They looked at each other and looked at Ye Sanniang implicitly.
Just now, the girl and the waiter reported to the two of them that Zhao Rang and Ye Sanniang talked a lot together, but they didn't hear clearly what they said.
It seems that what Amani warned in the letter is indeed correct. They must be careful about this woman, otherwise something bad will happen if they are not careful. Zhao Rang was anxious to see Amani just now, but now he was leisurely and leisurely, as if he was fine. Ye Sanniang's words must have played a big role in this.
Seeing that the two of them were speechless for a moment, Zhao Rang felt generally confident. It seems that Ye Sanniang is right! If you are too interested in something, you will be taken advantage of by others.
Although he didn't know if his performance was going too far at the moment, anyway, as long as these people from the Western Regions knew that he was not the one holding the rope, it would be fine.
"Go to a place deep in the dark streets."
Aziz thought carefully before answering.
"Deep in the dark streets? What's in that place?"
Zhao Rang asked one question after another.
In fact, this kind of question is not important, but it is the best way to hone your own patience and wear down their patience!
"There is a strange man in the depths. Princess Amani is also on her way here. We have agreed to meet there."
After hearing this, Zhao Rang continued to ask without thinking:
"How strange."
Every word he spoke was filled with questions, but his tone had no ups and downs, as if he was just reading from the book.
"Master Zhao, do you think it is possible for one person to know all the truths, secrets, and solutions to problems in the world?"
Zhao Rang shook his head and said:
"There is absolutely no such person!"
Haidiya showed a strange smile, bent down, and said mysteriously to Zhao Rang:
"If such a person really exists, what should Mr. Zhao do?"
Zhao Rang glanced at Haidiya's strange expression and thought, isn't this the fortune teller sitting on the street in Daweili?
It seems that everything is correct, but in fact it is nonsense, and everything it says is specious and ambiguous.
Dawei Zhong calls this kind of people "generals of the mediocre sect" because they only know how to "distribute troops randomly". By using this method, they can hold people back and prevent them from leaving.
Just say to the people surrounding him:
"Don't look at the people in our circle. There are quite a few people who have something on their mind! I can tell at a glance who has something wrong! Among them, two people's lawsuits have not been settled. There is another person who just finished their quarrel!"
If any of the people gathered around him were involved in a lawsuit or just came out of their homes too angry to go out, hearing this, they would definitely think that this person had some skills. As long as the mind moves, the shape will appear on the face, and then it will become the focus of the "Mediocre General".
People who have something on their mind will become more anxious the more they talk. I went on and on, pouring out all the pain in my stomach sooner or later, but I thought it was someone else who figured it out!
After going back and forth like this, everything is known, who can still have no idea?
But now people have to set rules again!
Zhao Rang replied coldly:
"If there really is such a person, he will never give me a trick for free. He will definitely make three rules, such as not speaking when a deaf person cannot hear, not speaking when a child cannot understand, and not speaking when an angry person has no brains."
Haidiya took the wine on the table, poured a glass, handed it to Zhao Rang, and said politely:
"Master Zhao seems to be very angry."
Zhao Rang took the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and said:
"I'm not angry, I'm just a little tired. Coming from Chagan Tologai, you have to climb a mountain!"
"But Songtao Mountain is not high, and it is not difficult to walk!"
Seeing that Zhao Rang really didn't want to go, Haidiya suddenly became anxious.
"I'm going back to Qingshan Guesthouse to have a good sleep now. Since you said, everyone who lives here are friends. I think you won't embarrass your friends, right?"
