Zhao Changhe admitted that his face was swollen from being beaten by the book of troubled times.
One second he was still saying that Zhou was bragging about Tang, but the next second his nephew really stood up.
But Zhao Changhe was not depressed about being slapped in the face. Instead, he was very happy. He took out the wine gourd and took a big sip.
It was before his eyes that Tang Buqi cried after drinking, and the waves washed away the sand, but his name was shining brightly in the world.
In addition, Maitreya was defeated in Taihu, and Tang Wanzhuang launched a counterattack. Will they continue to attack Xiangyang? The east and west fronts are different, so I don’t know whether they will be affected or not.
Now I want to communicate with the people from the Demon Suppressing Division even more, hoping that Da Zhou really is. It stands to reason that the people in the Demon Suppression Division would be more interested in communicating with their superiors at this time, so it would be easier to see the clues.
Zhao Changhe quietly followed Da Zhou around and around to an alley. The aroma inside was fragrant, and they really made braised duck... But it was not a small storefront workshop as originally imagined, but the entire alley belonged to his family.
The whole city is not very prosperous, the construction scene here is relatively deserted, and few people come in to buy goods. But there was no need to buy it. Da Zhou directed his clerks to pack the braised goods and deliver them to various restaurants and rich people's mansions one by one.
These businesses have regular cooperative customers, and the recession in the city seems to have relatively little impact on such businesses.
Everything seemed to be normal, Zhao Changhe was not anxious and waited quietly.
It was getting dark, Da Zhou finished his work, changed into the young master's clothes, and left the alley with a sway. Zhao Changhe thought that this might be a meeting, so he secretly followed him.
"Hey~ Brother Zhou is here? Xiao Taohong misses you..."
"I don't miss Xiao Taohong, I miss Fourth Brother."
"Fourth Master is also waiting for Brother Zhou to play with us in Flower Hall No. 1."
"..." Zhao Changhe looked at Da Zhou in the distance and was surrounded by the madams entering the brothel, feeling full of ellipses.
Why do you want to visit a brothel again...
Forget it, I won’t go shopping this time. In the past, I couldn't pretend to be a guest and go shopping. That was because my Qing Gong was average and the knife was too big, which made it unsuitable for secret investigation. Now the problem was solved. Long Que took the ring and combined Qing Gong with Ye Wuji's popularity. Nowadays, it is much easier to detect secretly.
Zhao Changhe spotted Da Zhoujin's flower hall, floated up to the eaves, lowered his barb, and peeped out of the window.
As expected, Da Zhou inside was not here for prostitution at all.
There was another man sitting opposite him, probably the so-called "fourth brother". There was no girl around them at all, they were just drinking together.
"The first one defeated Maitreya. Is there any news recently?" Da Zhou was asking.
Sure enough, people from the Demon Suppressing Division.
Zhao Changhe felt that his intuition was accurate enough to buy lottery tickets...but the title Fourth Brother easily reminded him of the Yingwu Organization...
The fourth brother said: "The war has just ended. Even if we want to send a homing pigeon, it will not arrive at once. You are more anxious than me."
Dazhou said: "I feel excited when I see the book flashing in troubled times... Maitreya has caused trouble in Jiangnan, and finally we can see the signs of peace. Who doesn't want to go back to the old days, peaceful and peaceful, it's great to come here and listen to music if you have nothing to do. Ah. Now that we are engaged in woolen cloth, our business has declined, and listening to music is no longer interesting."
The fourth brother was silent for a moment and sighed: "So the leader thinks that you and I can't deal with Maitreya. Because their goddess came to seduce the soul, so we ran away with him."
Dazhou: "...I was not allowed to go to the Maitreya force. That's because I have always been doing business here. It's different with you. There are so many brothel chains. Staying here is not a stay. Why were you driven here? "
The fourth brother complained: "I don't like women, why should Maitreya seduce me? You don't know anything."
Zhao Changhe: "..."
Dazhou said: "Let's not talk about it anymore. From what I have felt these days, Lu Shiheng should not fall to Maitreya. On the contrary, he is showing signs of becoming more independent. Especially these days, under the pretext of possible changes in the Maitreya sect, they are recruiting troops without regard to spring plowing." , the backlash becomes more and more obvious, has this matter been reported to the Demon Suppressor?"
"No, the information reported all said that Lu Shiheng was actively preparing for the war and was a loyal minister." The fourth brother smiled: "The Chief had long suspected that the Xiangyang Suppressing Demon Division was unreliable, so we needed additional information from our Secret Service. Now it has been confirmed that the Chief You are right to worry, the Xiangyang Demon-Suppressing Division has been abolished. Anyway, I have reported this matter to the chief for her consideration."
Zhao Changhe nodded secretly. The cough on Tang Wan's makeup made people think that she was like Sister Lin. In fact, she was a model of the prime minister and never needed others to worry. There are two lines of light and dark in the Zhenmo Division. For example, Zhao Changhe himself is a secret agent. Judging from the situation like Da Zhou who has been doing business here for a long time, this is a hidden line that was laid out many years ago. Basically no one will guess. It turns out that Da Zhou, who has been working here for so many years, is a secret agent.
With the current situation in Xiangyang, Tang Wanzhuang had long since distrusted the official government and launched a secret espionage line at the right time.
"Then please report this in advance." Da Zhou was worried: "Damn it, Maitreya has not yet been settled, and everyone has different intentions. When will this chaos end?"
Fourth Brother said: "Don't think so far... I have received new news from the west. Do you want to hear it?"
Da Zhou asked curiously: "What news?"
The fourth brother smiled and said: "Wang Daozhong entered Kunlun. He went to whore on the first day, and then he thought women were boring and chased a beautiful young man. The news about Kunlun has spread over the past few days, and it has reached here... What do you think? Do you want to report it to the chief?"
Da Zhou almost spit out his wine: "Are you sure that's Wang Daozhong? He has a wife and children, right?"
"I'm tired of it. It's normal. It's a big family..." The fourth brother said with his hands: "This is a small matter. The real big thing is that I heard that Wang Daozhong helped the Sixiang Sect to snatch Yang Qianyuan back from Kunlun. Now Hongnong Yang The position has also begun to become blurred.”
Da Zhou pinched his head with a headache: "If I were the leader, I might be coughing up blood now."
"But it may be because Wang Daozhong captured Yang Qianyuan and broke the rules of Kunlun. Later, he was besieged by the Kunlun people and fled in panic." The fourth brother sighed: "Tsk, Kunlun is indeed a dangerous place. People from the Dibang entered it. They can only run away in panic."
Zhao Changhe: "..."
The stories in this royal way were actually connected by everyone, and the logic of the whole story was figured out, which was very touching.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. The fourth brother went to open the door. The man at the door whispered: "Fourth brother, I received a message from the first flying pigeon. She is already on the way to Xiangyang, and she asked you to be careful. Pigeons come and go. Too much, and there is a possibility of exposure... In the future, try to stay hidden, stop doing things, and it is best to evacuate."
Both of them were stunned, even Zhao Changhe, who was eavesdropping outside, was also stunned.
This does not sound like a large army going to aid Xiangyang, but more like Tang Wanzhuang sneaking in alone.
If she analyzed various clues and found out that the Maitreya Sect was preparing to attack Xiangyang, then she should have sent troops to help. Why did she come here alone?
Could it be that Da Zhou and Fourth Brother reported Lu Shiheng's objections and came to stop him in person?
I have to say that it may have a certain effect, but this approach is not very in line with Tang Wanzhuang's style. Every time I hear that there is a rebellion in a place, I personally go there as a lobbyist to dissuade it. How is it possible...
Was there any incentive that led her to come here?
Zhao Changhe was glad for a moment that he did not go directly to Gusu, otherwise he would really have missed the chance. No matter what she is here for now, she can always serve as an outpost by squatting here.
The two people in the flower hall looked at each other in confusion. The leader said that it would be better to hide as much as possible or even evacuate. How could they be in the mood to continue drinking and talking at this moment?
Da Zhou hurriedly said goodbye and left: "Anyway, I have to go back and make arrangements. You can leave at any time. Since the chief has said so, just leave quickly. A brothel is nothing more than an asset. If you lose it, you will lose it."
The fourth brother was scratching his head as he saw off Da Zhou. What's going on? Did the chief know something that even their local spies didn't know? Suddenly he seemed very nervous.
While he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door, and a person slowly walked into the hall. He was middle-aged and elegant, with a long beard, like a well-educated gentleman, and a warm smile.
But the fourth brother stood up in shock and broke into a cold sweat: "The city...the city lord?"
The Lord of Xiangyang City, Xiaoxiang Divine Sword Lu Shiheng.
"I didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division would have a secret agent here, let alone our Mr. Si An." Lu Shiheng chuckled: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
Si An took a deep breath: "What is the city lord talking about..."
Lu Shiheng said very warmly: "Nothing... I just want Mr. Si'an to cooperate with us in Xiangyang to do something."
