Finally, it was not until the evening of the next day that Tang Wanzhuang did not come.
Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, changed into plain clothes, wiped off the scars, picked up a basket of ducks, and walked to the back door of the city lord's mansion honestly.
The doorman didn't question the stranger's face and just asked casually: "Have you changed someone?"
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Yes, several of them have joined the army."
The janitor said that he was eating his own food. He sighed indifferently: "Well, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere... Do you know the road? If you don't know, just go in and find someone to guide you. Follow the rules when you go in, don't look around and don't mess around. Run, go to the back kitchen, hand over the goods, and then return the way you came."
Zhao Changhe agreed very honestly. When he entered the door, he asked a servant seriously, and then he was led straight to the kitchen to hand over the duck.
I watched and listened in all directions along the way, but found nothing. I just noticed that the internal guards were a bit ridiculously strict.
Along the way alone, I met several patrolling guards. Occasionally, I could hear subtle and long breathing, which was the sign of a master, not an ordinary housekeeper who had practiced a lot.
You can see the leopard at first glance. The strength of this backyard alone is enough for an ordinary gang to start a sect.
Although it is strictly understandable for a city lord to guard the backyard, the intensity of this kind of guarding with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry is still a bit abnormal, especially when Lu Shiheng has not returned to his hometown at this time, what are they guarding?
When we got to the kitchen, a steward was complaining: "Why did the duck come so late today? Hey, someone has changed..."
Zhao Changhe apologized and smiled: "I'm not familiar with the road, so I'm a little late..."
"Leave it here." The steward said, "Go back and tell Da Zhou to double the number of ducks delivered tomorrow. The guests especially like to eat his duck, so Da Zhou is doing us a favor."
Zhao Changhe scratched his head with an honest look on his face: "Who in Xiangyang doesn't like to eat our boss's duck?"
"What Xiangyang? I'm a guest from the north. This is called killing between the north and the south." The steward didn't say much and waved his hand: "Go back, you know the way you came from. Don't run around. If you trespass and get chopped down, no one can save you." .”
Guests from the north...
Zhao Changhe slowly left the kitchen and walked out of sight of the guards. He suddenly accelerated and headed towards the guest house.
Who will follow you back the way you came... Isn't it just that if something goes wrong, you can have an excuse for not knowing the way and getting lost...
Even if the evening makeup doesn't arrive today, it will arrive tomorrow... It doesn't matter if we can't find out the situation. At least Li Si'an must be rescued first, otherwise there will be hostages in the hands of others and things will be difficult to do if they are too cautious.
The guest house where Li Si'an was under house arrest was easy to find, because he could often hear servants chatting about Mr. Li who was imprisoned yesterday.
"It is said that the city lord ordered Mr. Li to play with the maid as he pleased... This is so cool."
"However, they didn't touch any of them, and all the maids were driven away... Not to mention the maids, isn't it that they often send concubines to each other among the elegant scholars? What is the so-called romance? It is said that the eighteenth aunt was asked to accompany Mr. Li. I don’t know what’s going on now, have you driven me away?”
"Hiss... if Eighteenth Auntie could even glance at me with her charming eyes, my life would be shortened by eighteen years. I don't believe that Mr. Li is willing to drive her away. She must be in a state of ecstasy!"
"Do you think they are like you? He is the big proprietor who has opened brothels all over Jingchu. What beautiful girl has he not seen before?"
"I don't believe there is anyone more beautiful than Eighteenth Aunt!"
Amidst the discussion, Zhao Changhe arrived at the door of Li Si'an guest courtyard in a hurry. Under the vigilant eyes of a group of guards, he passed by the blind corner of the courtyard wall like the wind, and landed lightly behind a tree and flowers, observing silently.
Sure enough, a charming voice came from the house and murmured: "Sir, why are you doing this? The city lord doesn't even care about giving away his concubine..."
Li Si'an's voice came: "I care."
"Sir, you've played too many games without an owner. Isn't it fun to play with an owner?"
"...I haven't played Masterless either."
"You run a brothel..."
"Yes, I don't like women. Madam, please come back."
The door opened, and a charming and charming woman was thrown out. She staggered a few steps before she stood still.
The door slammed shut, and the woman's pretty face turned red with anger: "A damn rabbit that will kill you with a thousand cuts!"
Zhao Changhe held his breath tightly and his heart jumped violently.
He couldn't see other people's techniques, but he could still feel the characteristics of the techniques he had practiced, such as the evil aura of the Blood God Cult, and... the overwhelming aura of the Bliss Dafa. Those are typical highlights that are different from other practices.
Maitreya teaches the goddess!
No wonder Lu Shiheng was so willing to treat guests with his own concubine. His love had a purpose... He really slept with Maitreya Goddess, and he didn't even know what was going on when he was controlled.
But isn't Lu Shiheng's attitude very resistant to Maitreya? You can scold the emperor in Xiangyang City, but it is taboo for anyone to mention welcoming Maitreya.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhao Changhe has confirmed news from his own side that Maitreya has joined forces with the Blood God Sect to attack Xiangyang City from both sides! The Maitreya Messenger who I personally saw joined the Blood God Sect, so it couldn't be wrong.
What's going on?
Zhao Changhe looked up and saw that the sun had completely set.
The Maitreya Goddess was greeting her subordinate maids: "Come here, tell Lu Shiheng that you can no longer be indecisive. I'm going to be tough here. I'm afraid it's too late."
…………
Shortly after Zhao Changhe entered the city lord's palace, Tang Wanzhuang arrived in Xiangyang under the setting sun, covered with dust.
She would not go through the city gate, but would float over the towering city wall and go directly to the Immortal Palace Garden.
In fact, Lu Shiheng didn't expect Tang Wanzhuang to come so quickly. The ideal situation was to control or instigate Li Si'an and let Li Si'an trick Tang Wanzhuang himself, then everything would be foolproof.
This is also the reason why Lu Shiheng did not take action directly against Li Si'an. He needed Li Si'an to do something.
As a result, Li Si'an was out of luck and made no progress all day long, but Tang Wanzhuang had already arrived.
Fortunately, Xiangongyuan had already changed people and was fully prepared. It was impossible for Tang Wanzhuang to know what every subordinate in Xiangyang looked like, so he could fool them for the time being.
The steward arranged by Lu Shiheng wiped his sweat and greeted Tang Wanzhuang: "First Officer, why are you here?"
Tang Wanzhuang looked around and frowned slightly: "Why are they all strangers, where is Si'an?"
"Fourth brother has something to do out of town. He should be back in the evening. Let's take a break and have a meal first?"
Tang Wanzhuang narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly: "Okay, let's have something light."
This smile really made everyone around him feel numb.
Some people say that if there was a selection of the most beautiful people in the world, Tang Shouzuo would most likely top the list. People who have never seen it think it is bragging, but if you see it in person, you will immediately feel that this entire fairy palace is full of vulgar fans? Including some Maitreya sect goddesses secretly replaced by Lu Shiheng, they are said to be charming, but compared with the Tang leader, they are nothing.
The steward arranged a light meal and didn't dare to take any medicine. He was third on the ranking list and first in the Daxia Demon Suppression Division. It was really something that couldn't be solved by ordinary medicine, and the problem might be revealed.
It's a pity that Tang Wan's makeup came so quickly that many arrangements were not made in time.
He arranged everything as usual and waited on the side cautiously: "What are your orders, sir? Do you want to see Lord Lu?"
Tang Wanzhuang sipped her porridge leisurely and said with a smile: "Well, tell City Master Lu for me to come here to meet..."
The steward didn't find anything wrong with this, so he walked away with a smile and reported it to Lu Shiheng... Actually, he didn't need to report it. As soon as Tang Wanzhuang came here, someone went to report it to Lu Shiheng.
Tang Wanzhuang watched him exit with a hint of gloom in her eyes.
Something happened here...
The real subordinates of the secret agents of the Demon Suppressing Division will definitely be shocked by the idea of "asking the city lord to come to our spy station to discuss matters." Doesn't this directly expose the secret stronghold we have operated for so many years to the city lord?
But the steward never thought about this at all...
It can only be proved that either this place has been exposed a long time ago, and they all know that they have rebelled...or this person is simply Lu Shiheng's person, not Li Si'an's person.
Tang Wanzhuang's expression did not change and he drank his porridge calmly. He secretly thought that he was a little too late. If Li Si'an was caught, he would not be able to do things well.
It's a pity that in this situation, no one can help save Li Si'an... Even if he could secretly send a message to Da Zhou, Da Zhou would not be strong enough, and instead he would be exposed in vain.
Forget it, let's meet Lu Shiheng first to see what he is doing.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Lu Shiheng smiled heartily and stepped in: "The first one is coming to Xiangyang, why don't you go to the city lord's palace instead of coming to the brothel? It won't be nice to spread the news."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "Nothing else, but because Mr. Si'an is an old friend of the Tang family and is here to visit a friend. Please sit down, Grandmaster."
Prefect, this is the real official position. There is no "city lord" in Daxia.
But Lu Shiheng intentionally or unintentionally only asked people to call him the Lord of the City. Over time, people even forgot that this was the Grand Governor of Xiangyang in Daxia, as if he was really the Lord of the city.
The first sentence Tang Wanzhuang spoke made the atmosphere in the entire hall feel stagnant.
But Lu Shiheng seemed to have no feeling, and smiled naturally: "The first one defeated Maitreya in Taihu Lake yesterday, and today it has arrived in Xiangyang. It's so non-stop, but what's the important military matter?"
"That's right." Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "If I were to arrive a day late, I'm afraid Xiangyang would no longer belong to Daxia."
