Chapter 229 Betting

Wei Zicai was very surprised: "Your Majesty, you don't know about this?"

Zhao Changhe pointed to his mask: "Do you see what it is?"

"Pig."

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

"Pfft..." Wei Zicai didn't react at all, but Suzaku behind him smiled and bent over.

Wei Zicai also looked twitching, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty can really joke... Well, I don't know about this. I must be a new employee not long ago? In fact, this matter is not that complicated. First of all, His Majesty does not want to monopolize all ancient secret places. , let everyone take their own chances..."

Zhao Changhe raised his hand: "I know about this. Your Majesty is broad-minded in this matter."

Suzaku glanced at him, half-smiling.

Most people would indeed conclude that Xia Longyuan is broad-minded, but Suzaku disagrees. She prefers to think that this is a kind of testing ground for Xia Longyuan, allowing all parties to brainstorm for an ancient secret.

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

Otherwise, if he marries the White Tiger Saint and stabilizes the Four Symbols Sect, at least the Four Symbols Sect may not be in trouble, and he can also get important help. But his operation ruined this matter, and a sect that could be used as a helping hand turned into a demon sect that only wanted to bring chaos to the world. What disgusted Suzaku the most was that they still did it despite knowing that this was probably what Xia Longyuan wanted.

Wei Zicai hesitated for a moment and replied: "There are many strong people or sects who don't care about other things and only care about exploring ancient secrets. There are often rumors about ancient secret places like Gujian Lake. Many forces are stationed around to explore, but they are restrained by each other. No one can dominate. Many years ago, many wars broke out on the shore of Gujian Lake, and even people from the Tianbang participated. ”

Zhao Changhe got a similar judgment to Suzaku this time. It seems that Xia Longyuan is using these ancient secret places to instigate all parties to fight: "Then what?"

"The parties were fighting in a mess, but they didn't even know whether there was anything in Gujian Lake, which seemed very stupid. There were talks between all parties, and they finally agreed not to camp in person to reserve the place, such as the Cui family or Like the Four Elephant Sect, they come to see whoever finds the place every now and then, without interfering with each other. However, everyone is worried that others will secretly reserve the place, so they all support subordinate gangs to keep an eye on nearby towns, which creates a complex structure of forces. We, the Demon Suppression Division, just inserted some spies to pay attention to the changes here, and the special situation in Jianhu City was born. In fact, there are many similar places in the world, and Jianhu City is a more typical one."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and realized that there were probably countless "Sword Lake Cities" in the world, which were outside the regular court rule and where gangs were entrenched.

Forget it in normal times, once in troubled times, these places may evolve into a kind of separatist land, and chaotic "city lords" may spring up everywhere and become local overlords.

Sure enough, Wei Zicai continued: "After years of evolution, these forces may no longer care about what is in the lake. At the beginning, we knew that the Four Symbols Sect had taken away the things in the lake, but the forces in the city may not know. It can be seen that They have long since deviated from the original intention of stationing here. Instead, they are dividing the territory one by one and competing for interests, especially now that troubled times are approaching, and the gang dispute over who has the final say in this city has become more and more obvious. After the recruitment, Yan Lianping of the Pinghu Society has begun to form a monopoly on this city. Now we are just waiting for the leader to respond and see if it is time to evacuate."

Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "Two questions. What is Yan Lianping's strength and what force is behind him?"

"The eighth level of Yan Lianping's entrance..."

"Then he actually needs the help of others to defeat Han Wubing?"

"Because Han Wubing has reached the seventh level of the Mysterious Pass, and his sword skills are unparalleled. If he were to fight alone, Yan Lianping might not be able to defeat him."

"Hey, how come this guy is faster than me...and what next? Who is the force behind Yan Lianping?"

Wei Zicai was a little embarrassed: "Well... we don't know what force is behind him."

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

Wei Zicai coughed dryly and said: "Theoretically, the Pinghu Society should be from the Four Symbols Sect, but we found that the last time the White Tiger Saint came here, she did not have contact with them. There are two reasons for not contacting them. One is The White Tiger Saint feels that the Pinghu Society has been watched by us, and she does not want to be exposed to our sight, so she deliberately does not have contact with the Pinghu Society. The second is that the Pinghu Society may have become estranged from the Four Symbols, and the White Tiger Saint does not trust them. ”

Zhao Changhe glanced at Suzaku, his expression obscured by his pig face.

This is a lot of fun, going around and around, and getting involved with the young ladies around me. Including the previous rumors, it also got involved with him, Zhao Changhe, and he is no longer Han Wubing. People things.

This time came by chance.

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and asked: "Why is there a second suspicion? Will Pinghu show anything to make you think so?"

"He Lei, the mad lion, was injured and left from Mount Tai. Passing here, he quietly lived in Pinghu Hui to recuperate. We think that Pinghu Hui may have had an affair with the barbarians, but we don't know whether the Four Symbols Sect knows about this situation, nor does Si Xiang know about it. The Xiangjiao’s attitude towards the Hu people is difficult to analyze.”

"I understand." Zhao Changhe felt much more relaxed. He smiled and patted Wei Zicai on the shoulder: "Okay, the information is complete and organized. I will have a few words with the leader later."

Wei Zi showed joy: "Thank you, sir, for your support."

"Last question."

"Sir, please speak."

"Where did Han Wubing find out that others were spreading Zhao Changhe's rumors?"

"Kangle Gambling House, Han Wubing was passing by and heard someone saying this loudly in the gambling house."

"Whose power is Kangle Gambling House?"

Wei Zicai showed a strange look: "My subordinates didn't find out."

Zhao Changhe looked at him steadily for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "It's okay, no one can be omniscient and omnipotent, just work harder in the future."

Wei Zi then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Congratulations on seeing off the special envoy."

Leaving Wanhua Tower, Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped again, turned his head and glanced at the Bamboo Tower, thoughtfully.

Zhuque asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

"According to the theory of each company assigning subordinates to station here, it is impossible not to know who is behind the Kang Le Gambling House. This makes no sense. And if it is deliberately concealed, this matter has nothing to do with the Kang Le Gambling House itself. I will Just ask me casually, why do you need to hide it from me?"

Zhuque said leisurely: "Kangle Gambling House came later, not the original one. It's not surprising that we can't find out, but we shouldn't do it if we don't have any guesses. Our holy sect guessed that it should be Ying Wu's person ."

Zhao Changhe’s heart skipped a beat: “Eighth on the Heavenly List!”

"Yes...but it really doesn't sound like it has anything to do with them, right?"

"What do you think about the Pinghu meeting?"

"Yan Lianping is Wei Yueyan from Twenty-Eight Sustaining. Chi Chi didn't contact him at that time just because he didn't want to reveal that he was one of ours. I didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division had already known it..." Suzaku said, his tone was a bit cold. : "We didn't know that he actually had contact with the barbarians. The Demon Suppression Division was a great help."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Is there a traitor?"

Suzaku's tone became more relaxed again: "Who doesn't have a few traitors in their family? It would be good if they could be discovered early. However, this matter cannot be taken seriously just because the Demon Suppressor said it. I still need to investigate a little or two. ."

Zhao Changhe asked: "What do you think?"

"You and I will go our separate ways. I will go to Yan Lianping openly. You can do whatever you want. I will quietly go to the inn to find you tonight."

As Suzaku said, he suddenly smiled: "What an anomaly. Originally, I just wanted to get to know you more and protect you from being killed by the Wang family. I didn't expect that the matter actually related to me, and it became a cooperation between you and me. ."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "This is the favor that God doesn't want me to owe to the Four Symbols Sect... Maybe on the contrary, if this thing goes wrong, you have to accept my favor."

"Exactly." Suzaku sneered: "Is it just you? A young man from the sixth level of the entrance hall? Or do you want to treat the clues from the Demon Suppressing Division as a favor?"

Zhao Changhe hummed and said: "Then let's take a gamble? If you help me more, I will call you good sister from now on."

Suzaku's beautiful eyes turned around and he chuckled: "If I lose, will you be a good brother?"

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