Chapter 371 Evening makeup is here
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 his 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 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 run around. , delivered the goods to the back kitchen and returned the same way.”
Zhao Changhe agreed very honestly. When he entered the door, he asked a servant seriously, and then he was led straight to the back kitchen to unload the duck.
Looking in all directions and listening in all directions along the way, I found nothing. I just noticed that the internal guards were a bit ridiculously strict.
On this journey alone, I encountered several rounds of 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.
Seeing the leopard, the strength of this backyard was alone, and the gangs were all open.
Although it is strictly understandable for a city lord to guard the backyard, the intensity of the guards 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..."
“Let’s 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 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.
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. Didn't it mean that the elegant scholars often sent concubines to each other? What's the so-called romance? It was said that the eighteenth aunt was asked to accompany Mr. Li, no. Do you know what’s going on now? Have you driven me away?”
"Hiss...if the eighteenth aunt 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 I’m the same as you? He’s the big proprietor who has opened brothels all over Jingchu. What kind of beautiful girl haven’t you seen?”
“I don’t believe there is anyone more beautiful than the eighteenth aunt!”
Amidst the discussion, Zhao Changhe arrived at the door of Li Si'an Guest House 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.
As expected, there was a flattering whisper in the house: "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 have played too much with the ownerless ones. Isn’t it fun to play with the ownerless ones?”
“…I haven’t played Masterless either.”
“You run a brothel…”
“Yes, I don’t like women, please come back, madam.”
The door opened, and a charming woman was thrown out. She staggered a few steps before she stood still.
The door slammed shut, and the woman's face turned red with anger: "A rabbit that can be killed with a thousand cuts!"
Zhao Changhe held his breath tightly and his heart jumped violently.
He can't see other people's skills, but he can still feel the characteristics of the skills he has practiced, such as the evil aura of the Blood God Sect, and the overwhelming aura of the Bliss Dafa. Those are typical highlights that are different from other practices.
Maitreya teaches the goddess of heaven!
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 happened after he was controlled.
What’s even more outrageous is the exact news from Zhao Changhe’s side: Maitreya has united 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 is going on?
Zhao Changhe looked up and saw that the sun had completely set. The Maitreya Goddess was greeting her subordinate maids: "Come, please tell Lu Shiheng that you can no longer be hesitant. I'm going to be tough here. I'm afraid it won't be late."
…
Shortly after Zhao Changhe entered the city lord's palace, Tang Wanzhuang arrived in Xiangyang under the setting sun and 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 did not expect Tang Wanzhuang to come so quickly. The ideal situation is 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 unable to make any progress and made no progress at the end of the day. However, Tang Wanzhuang had already arrived.
Fortunately, Xiangongyuan has already changed people and has made sufficient preparations. It is impossible for Tang Wanzhuang to know what every subordinate looks like in Xiangyang, so he can fool him 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 new faces, where is Si'an?"
"Fourth brother has something to do outside. 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 woman 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 did not dare to take any medicine. He was ranked third in the rankings and first in the Daxia Suppression Division. It is really not something that ordinary medicines can solve. It may also be seen as a problem.
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 at the side carefully: "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 Lord 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 Suppression Division will definitely be shocked by the idea of "asking the city lord to come to our agent's 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 didn’t think 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 from Lu Shiheng, not from Li Si'an.
Tang Wanzhuang's expression did not change, and he drank 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 to save Li Si'an... Even if a message could be sent secretly to notify Da Zhou, Da Zhou was not strong enough and was 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 and come to the brothel instead? It won't be nice to spread the news."
Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "Nothing else, it's just because Mr. Si'an is an old friend of the Tang family and is here to visit a friend. Please have a seat, Governor."
Prefect, this is the real official position. There is no "city lord" in Daxia.
However, Lu Shiheng intentionally or unintentionally only asked people to call him the lord of the city. Over time, people even forgot that he was the 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 a little 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 is so non-stop, but what is 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 be in the possession of Daxia."
