book of troubled times

Chapter 229 Bet
Wei Zicai was very surprised: "Your envoy, you don't know about this?"

Zhao Changhe pointed to his mask: "See what it is?"

"pig."

"That's right, I don't know what's weird?"

"Pfft..." Wei Zi hadn't reacted yet, Suzaku behind him smiled and bent over.

Wei Zicai's expression also twitched, and he said after a long time: "Your Majesty can really joke... Well, I don't know about this, I must have just joined the job not long ago? In fact, this matter is not too complicated. First of all, His Majesty does not want to monopolize all the ancient secret places. Everyone takes their chances..."

Zhao Changhe raised his hand: "I know about this, Your Majesty has done this with a broad mind."

Suzaku glanced at him with a half-smile.

Ordinary people would indeed come to the judgment that Xia Longyuan was broad-minded, but Suzaku didn't take it seriously. She preferred to think that this was a kind of testing ground for Xia Longyuan, where all parties could get their brains out for an ancient secret.

In Suzaku's eyes, Xia Longyuan's own operations accounted for most of the troubled times.

Otherwise, if he marries the White Tiger Saintess and stabilizes the Four Elephant Sect, at least the Four Elephant Sect may not be reversed along the way, and can be used as an important help.But his operation completely ruined this matter, and a sect that could be used as a help was forced to become a demon sect that only wanted to mess up the world.What disgusted Suzaku the most was that they knew that this was probably what Xia Longyuan wanted, but they would still do it.

Wei Zi hesitated for a moment, and replied: "There are many strong people or sects who don't care about other things, they only care about exploring the ancient secrets. Similar to the ancient sword lake, there are rumors of ancient secrets, and there are often many forces They are constantly searching around, and it happens that they restrain each other, and no one can dominate. Many years ago, many battles broke out by the ancient sword lake, and even the Tianbang people participated in it."

Zhao Changhe got a judgment similar to Suzaku's this time, so it seems that Xia Longyuan is using these ancient secret places to instigate chaos among all parties: "Then what?"

"The parties are fighting in a mess, but they don't even know if there is anything in the ancient sword lake. It seems very stupid. Then there are talks between all parties, and finally it is agreed that they will not be stationed in person, such as the Cui family or the Four Elephants. In that way, we will check every now and then, whoever finds it counts, and will not interfere with each other. But everyone is worried that others will come to secretly book the venue, so they all support subordinate gangs to watch in nearby towns, and a situation of mixed forces is formed. Our town magician just inserted some spies to pay attention to the changes here, and the special situation of Jianhu City was born. In fact, there are still many similar places in the world, and Jianhu City is a more typical one."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head, seeing leopards in sight. There are probably countless "Sword Lake Cities" in the world, which are outside the conventional court rule and where gangs are entrenched.

Forget it in normal times, once in troubled times, these places may evolve into a kind of separatist land, and the messy "city lords" are afraid that they will spring up everywhere and become local overlords.

Sure enough, Wei Zi continued: "After years of evolution, these forces probably don't care about what's in the lake. Back then we knew that the Four Elephants Sect took away the things in the lake, but the forces in the city didn't necessarily know about it. It can be seen that they have deviated from it a long time ago. The original intention of stationing here. On the contrary, it is to divide the territory one by one and compete for interests, especially now that the troubled times are approaching, the gang dispute over who has the final say in this city is becoming more and more obvious. With the Tianyi Gang being incorporated by the Pinghu Society, Pinghu The formation of Yan Lianping dominating the city has already begun to take shape, and now we are waiting for a reply from the first seat, should we evacuate?"

Zhao Changhe nodded and said, "Two questions. What strength does Yan Lianping have, and what forces are behind him?"

"Yan Lianping's Xuanguan eightfold..."

"Then he needs to cooperate with others to beat Han Wubing?"

"Because Han Wubing has also reached the seventh level of the profound entrance, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled. If he really fights alone, Yan Lianping may not be able to beat him."

"Grass, why is this fellow faster than me... and then? Who is the force behind Yan Lianping?"

Wei Zi was a little embarrassed: "That...we don't know what power is behind him."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Isn't it? Logically, shouldn't this kind of thing be counted very early?"

Wei Zicai coughed dryly: "Theoretically, the Pinghu Society should belong to the Four Elephant Sect, but we found that the last time the White Tiger Saintess came here, we didn't have any contact with them. There are two reasons for not contacting them. One is that the White Tiger Saintess We feel that the Pinghu Society has been watched by us, and she doesn’t want to be exposed to our sight, so she deliberately doesn’t get in touch with the Pinghu Society. The second is that the Pinghu Society may have become incompatible with the Four Elephant Sect, and the White Tiger Maiden doesn’t trust them.”

Zhao Changhe glanced at Suzaku, but his expression was blocked by the pig's face.

This matter is very fun, going around and getting involved with the young lady around me, including the previous rumors, and also getting involved with Zhao Changhe, it is no longer a matter of Han Wubing alone .

It was a coincidence this time.

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why do you have the second suspicion? What will Pinghu do to make you think so?"

"Helei, the wild lion, was injured and left Mount Tai. Passing through this place, he lived quietly in Pinghu Society to recuperate. We think that Pinghu Society may have an affair with the barbarians. We just don't know if the Four Elephants Sect knows about this situation, and we don't know what the Four Elephants Sect has to say about it. Hu people's attitude is not easy to analyze."

"Understood." Zhao Changhe felt much more relaxed, and patted Wei Zicai's shoulder with a smile: "Yes, the information is complete and well-organized. I will talk to the chief later."

Only then did Wei Zi show joy: "Thank you for your support, sir."

"last question."

"Sir, please speak."

"Where did Han Wubing find out where others spread Zhao Changhe's rumors?"

"Happy Casino, Han Wubing was passing by, and heard someone say this loudly in the casino."

"Who is the power of the Happy Casino?"

Only then did Wei Zi show a strange look: "This subordinate didn't find out."

Zhao Changhe stared at him for a long time, then smiled suddenly: "It's okay, no one can know everything, just work harder in the future."

Wei Zi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Respectfully send off the special envoy."

Leaving Wanhualou, Zhao Changhe stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhulou, thoughtful.

Suzaku wondered, "What are you thinking?"

"According to the theory that each family assigns subordinates to station here, it is impossible not to know who is behind the Kangle Casino. Ask, why do you need to hide it from me?"

Suzaku said leisurely: "Kangle Casino came later, not the original ones, so it's not surprising that they couldn't find out, but if there is no guess, it shouldn't be. Our holy religion guesses that it should be the person from Ying Wu."

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat: "Eighth on the list!"

"That's right...but it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with them, does it?"

"What do you think about the Pinghu meeting?"

"Yan Lianping is Wei Yueyan from the 28th night. I didn't contact him at that time because I didn't want to reveal that he belongs to us. I didn't expect Zhenmasi to know him..." Suzaku said, his tone was a little cold: " We didn't know that he actually had contact with the barbarians, Zhenmensi helped a lot."

Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "A traitor?"

Suzaku's tone relaxed again: "Who doesn't have a few traitors? It's good to find out early. But I can't just listen to what Zhenmensi said and take it seriously. I still need to investigate."

Zhao Changhe asked, "What do you think?"

"You and I will work separately. I will look for Yan Lianping openly and aboveboard. You can do whatever you want. Tonight I will quietly go to the inn to find you."

Suzaku said, and suddenly smiled: "It's really strange. Originally, I was purely to get in touch with you and to protect you from being killed by the Wang family. Unexpectedly, the matter was related to myself, and it became your cooperation."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "This is the favor that the heavens don't want me to owe to the Four Elephant Sect... Maybe on the contrary, if this matter goes wrong, you have to accept my favor."

"Cut." Suzaku snorted, "Just you? The little man at the sixth level of the entrance? Or do you want to take the clues from Zhenmasi as your favor?"

Zhao Changhe snorted and said, "Then let's take a gamble? If you help me more, I will call you good sister in the future."

Suzaku's beautiful eyes turned around, and he smiled lightly: "If I lose, will I be like a big brother?"

"If you lose, can you take off your mask in front of me in the future?"
