Chapter 408 Going to Jiangnan again
This kidney is very timely.
Zhao Changhe still wanted to show off his face, and did not openly attend the grand farewell breakfast banquet with Huangfu Qing. Instead, he hid in his yard and ate breakfast, his kidneys were still hot.
Huangfu Qingcai didn't bother to care so much. He went to the banquet dressed up as if nothing had happened, talking and laughing as usual, as if he didn't know what others were slandering.
Yang Jingxiu also acted as if he didn't know what was going on, and the scene was full of flowers. He thanked the imperial concubine for coming to the birthday banquet, and the Yang family was full of glory. The old minister burst into tears with gratitude and didn't know what to say... He also wished his majesty a long life in Nanshan, full of greenery. .
Tang Wanzhuang excused herself from feeling unwell and did not come to eat. Cui Yuanyang was the only one sitting at the table, poking a rabbit-shaped birthday peach with chopsticks, until his **** was almost broken.
It makes me uncomfortable to see Huangfu Qing sitting there looking radiant and refreshed...
It was originally mine. Why are you so proud of it? Isn’t it just because you are older and I am afraid that your time will be numbered?
Huangfuqing glanced at her with a friendly smile of a victor: "How about Miss Cui's traveling with me today?"
Cui Yuanyang poked: "Who wants to go with you..."
Huangfu said affectionately: "I'll let you smell it on the way, and it will give you a sense of participation."
Cui Yuanyang(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Huangfu Qing won a great victory and led everyone back to the capital.
The only drawback is that the person named Tang still dares not come out to meet him. It's a pity that he has no chance to ridicule, so he has to let the scheming little **** of the Cui family take the blame...
Even though I had tasted the taste of the forbidden fruit for the first time, I was reluctant to leave immediately, but Suzaku was Suzaku after all, and she would not be obsessed with Mianshou, she had to do her thing. I don't even want to say goodbye, it's so boring.
Well, as long as we treat it as face-to-face, many things will be much easier to accept...
I don’t know whether Wang Daozhong was robbed or not. Judging from the fact that the Book of Troubled Times was not released, at least there was no incident such as Xia Longyuan killing Wang Daoning or Wang Daoning killing Qin Dingjiang. On the surface, everything seemed calm.
Huangfuqing is very interested in the changes in this matter... The Wang family, which used to be thought to be a giant, now seems to be leaking everywhere and is worse than the imperial court. Their anti-thief cooperation was originally led by the Wang family, but now it seems that it is still unclear who is in charge.
In fact, the little piggy boy just asked himself to "convey to the Lord" that he hoped Suzaku would participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Maitreya. After careful consideration, Huangfu only said that she would report back to the Lord for her to make a decision, feeling a little hesitant in her heart.
Although the Four Symbols Sect and the Maitreya Sect are unable to deal with each other due to their different beliefs, and have even killed each other's Jiangbei Buddha, the attack in this situation is a bit different.
After all, they are all rebels in the general direction, not to mention that in this case, encircling and suppressing Maitreya is simply acting as a thug for the Tang family... It is not in the interests of the rebels to simply say that Maitreya can be wiped out too easily.
But there was one thing about this matter that really concerned her, and Zhao Changhe also used this point to ask her to "convey the message to His Holiness": that was the shadow of the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya.
There is no one who is not interested in following the footsteps of the ancients. The more people are on the Heavenly List, the more interested they are... In the past, I only had various relics and relics. This is the first time to see a real person. How can Suzaku not be a little itchy?
Other times, it is impossible to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with such a "god and Buddha", experience the opponent's strength level with your own hands, or even directly capture him for questioning... This time may be the best opportunity. Can the Four Symbols Sect be defeated? back? Tang Wanzhuang picked everything up and couldn't get anything out of it...
From this point of view, not only do you want to go, but you’d better also call the dead turtle with you...Don’t say that a good thing is missing out on a sister.
It’s really confusing.
Hmm...Whether she goes or not, it is always right to let the dead turtle come to the capital to meet and chat, and give her a good beating first!
…
"You and her are in good terms, can it affect Zhuque's decision-making?" Tang Wanzhuang asked calmly and knowingly while sitting in the courtyard.
The so-called "If you really disobey human ethics, I will be very disappointed", the facts prove that it does not exist.
Zhao Changhe sat in front of her like a primary school student and secretly watched her for a long time. He couldn't see her mood or anger, so he answered honestly: "Whether she can influence Suzaku's decision-making is not important, and I don't want to take advantage of my feelings... uh... anyway, the key point is Suzaku should be interested in the gods and Buddhas behind Maitreya. She is very likely to take action. I suspect that Xuanwu may be involved. Their sect pays more attention to this than the aristocratic family and other sects. "
Tang Wanzhuang seemed not to understand what his pause meant, and said calmly: "Yes, she can influence Suzaku's decision-making."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
Tang Wanzhuang changed the topic: "Actually, judging from the one who tried to scare me away before, you are not so strong that you are so careful about inviting all the heroes... at least there are big restrictions. Do you know anything else? ?”
"There should indeed be some restrictions when they come to this world to take action, so that they need to seek agents for many things. But if we want to eradicate the roots and invade his secret realm, his behavior will definitely not be the same as that day. Don't say I am cautious. , I even want to use all the power I can use to press it up. At this moment, I am thinking whether I should visit the Shenhuang Sect..."
Zhao Changhe was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have learned the lesson." "I am your master." Tang Wanzhuang raised her tea cup and took a sip of tea gracefully.
Zhao Changhe looked at her again and hesitated to speak.
Tang Wanzhuang put down her teacup and sighed: "It's a pity that a certain disciple-in-law has no etiquette and didn't know how to offer tea to the master before leaving."
Hold the qin and he was about to speak but stopped.
Come on, miss, I don’t know how angry I will be if I meet you, so don’t send it away.
Tang Wanzhuang looked to her left and then to her right. Their expressions were both irritating. She put down the teacup a little harder, making a "clang" sound.
Zhao Changhe was sitting upright.
Tang Wanzhuang said with a straight face: "What I said last night, as long as you are not stupid, you will know that I deliberately provoked her to help you succeed. It's ridiculous that someone thought that he was taking advantage... How come neither of them thought that I didn't Are you happy that you want me to beat you up?"
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically and said, "No, no..."
Tang Wanzhuang didn't seem to hear it and nodded to herself: "Since you asked for it, I will reluctantly satisfy it."
Zhao Changhe: "?"
“Bang!” The next moment he was overthrown, Tang Wanzhuang beat him viciously and walked away.
“Let’s go, Jiangnan!”
…
When they went north to Hongnong, Jiangnan was in full swing to suppress the Maitreya sect.
The rise and fall of Maitreya is very similar to the Yellow Turban in the late Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was huge and sweeping, but after a few rounds of sniping at key points, the momentum visibly weakened.
At first, the effect of linking up with foreign tribes was effective. The court's troops, money and food were all tied up, and they were unable to organize a large-scale southward force.
However, the resistance of the Jiangnan gentry alone caused the Maitreya Sect to fall into a quagmire and make little progress.
It is a trivial matter to collude with the Wang family and be destroyed by Zhao Changhe. In fact, killing the messenger in front of the door cannot be the key to hindering the collusion between the two. The real key is that Wang Daoning despises the Maitreya Cult. The noble family's contempt for this grassroots cult comes from This is the reason that can be seen in the bones, including the resistance of wealthy families in various parts of the south.
It is also for this reason that when the Maitreya Sect gained the upper hand in the early days, there was no other way to massacre the city and exterminate the clan. If the local nobles did not cooperate, if you did not kill them, you would only add chaos to your own rear and stab them at any time.
But the more this happens, the more vicious the cycle becomes, so that the road becomes narrower and narrower.
When the barbarians were repulsed and the imperial court was able to support the south a little, it became increasingly difficult to defeat Maitreya. By the time Tang Buqi defeated Maitreya's main force on the eastern front in Taihu, it was basically possible to declare the countdown to Maitreya's defeat.
In the end, they placed their high hopes on the Xiangyang line, and even had a certain chance to kill Tang Wanzhuang, but Zhao Changhe appeared out of nowhere and brought the Blood God Sect. The whole thing was messed up, and even Maitreya himself was seriously injured and returned.
From then on, Tang Buqi called on the heroes in the south and launched a major counterattack against Maitreya. In just ten months, all the lost ground was recovered, and the troops reached Kuaiji, Maitreya's base camp.
According to many historical deductions, this is called the vanguard of the king. The growing forces in the fight against Maitreya may start a new round of competition, such as the previous Lu Shiheng. The allied commander who led his troops to defeat Maitreya may become the new overlord.
Daxia's good luck is that this commander-in-chief is a product of the Tang family. What's even better is that he has an aunt who doesn't care.
When Zhao Changhe went all the way south, he felt very strange in his heart. He had never thought that Tang Buqi could not even have a chance to compete in the world... Is there something wrong with this world...
If it weren't for Tang Wanzhuang's pressure, he seemed to be able to do it... But then again, without Tang Wanzhuang's prestige and the help of the powerful generals of the Demon Suppression Division, no one would pay attention to Tang Buqi in the early stage, and he wouldn't even have a chance to grow. …
The thing that Zhao Changhe didn't understand the most was that at first it was said that troubled times were coming, but it was obvious that every family was still waiting for an opportunity, and they still are to this day. And where did Maitreya get the confidence to dare to be the first to raise the flag a year ago before it was clear that the time was not yet ripe?
Is it because I am uneducated, have not studied history, and cannot understand the situation clearly?
Or was it forced to advance after the two events in Yangzhou and Suzhou were disrupted?
Or are you too confident in your alliance with the Hu people and too underestimated the power of the southern gentry?
Or is it because of the urging of the gods and demons behind it, and it is a last resort? What are they thinking?
Zhao Changhe is very interested... Not to mention that Suzaku Xuanwu is interested in gods and demons, the person who is really most interested in him is Zhao Changhe. And this is also the first time, except for the blind man, that he has truly faced gods and demons head-on.
