Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 437: Entering Shu
Chapter 437 Entering Shu
Yue Hongling said that after going to Jianlu, she planned to go to Miao territory.
At that time, the Battle of Xiangyang had not yet broken out, and Yue Hongling did not know that Zhao Changhe was close to Chi Chi. If she ran for her life, her normal mentality would be to go in the direction of Miao territory. Generally, there was no need to consider other options, it should be right there.
I just don’t know if I have left after so long...
No matter what, I can at least find some clues in the past. It would be best if they are still there.
In fact, if these things did not happen, Yue Hongling would normally go to Jianlu and the Miao Territory, and Zhao Changhe would also normally go to Jianlu and the Miao Territory... I don’t know what would happen if they met. Doesn't it count as "people from far apart can meet in the same place because of different goals"?
Maybe it's barely enough... In short, Zhao Changhe no longer has such a mood in his heart at the moment.
The Miao territory is huge...finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I just hope that since both Yue Hongling and Shi Wuding are celebrities, it will be easier to receive clues if they go to visit...
Especially now that I am no longer alone, it is easier to find someone than before.
Zhao Changhe entered Shu from Ba and entered Tianfu. Then he immediately went straight to a famous local jewelry shop, which was the meeting place agreed with Li Si'an. I didn't know if Li Si'an had already arrived.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that Li Si'an was looking at the jadeite inside: "The water in this batch of goods doesn't look good... Is there something going on over there recently? It doesn't taste right. The goods that came here don't taste right." It’s all a little weird... Huh? You came so early?”
Zhao Changhe stepped inside: "I was afraid you didn't come, it'll be fine if you come."
"You look like... something is wrong?"
"The people in Jianlu in Bashan have left their buildings empty, and the Ju sect has moved. Do you know?"
"I just learned the news..."
"Why is this information so lagging behind?"
Li Si'an put down the jade and sighed: "Jianlu is a group of serious swordsmen. Think about Han Wubing's temperament... Although most people in Jianlu are not as withdrawn as him, the basic template is still similar. In short, There is little communication with the outside world. It is very normal for people to come and go in the world... For such a semi-reclusive sect, even if it was suddenly wiped out, not many people would know about it."
Zhao Changhe sneered: "There is little external communication. Could it be that most of them are unable to do other things?"
Li Si'an asked curiously: "Why do you say this?"
Zhao Changhe said directly: "The guess may be Tingxuelou's bright-faced vest... The guess may not be accurate, but Yue Hongling had battles with them, and some people died under Yue Hongling's sword. This is what I found through personal autopsy."
Li Si'an's expression changed slightly: "This..."
He glanced around and pulled Zhao Changhe into the inner room: "In Bashu, you should pay more attention to these words... Although Jianlu disciples rarely travel in the rivers and lakes, there are many high-ranking families in Bashu, and even in the army and town. There are people from the Demon Division who have gone to Jianlu to seek advice, and they are almost anonymous disciples. Therefore, Jianlu is not very impressive but has a wide influence."
Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes: "There are very few external exchanges, but many people go to them to communicate..."
"Create your own style, right?" Li Si'an said with a smile: "If you do this, it will look like the Holy Land of Bashu Swordsmanship."
"Then their relocation..."
"I don't know how true your Tingxuelou judgment is... Assuming that Yue Hongling spreads this unfounded judgment, it will not have much impact on Jianlu. Even if Yue Hongling's reputation has always been very good, After all, she is just a young star in the world, and it is difficult to shake such a famous person with strong roots. You see, even if you tell me, I am willing to believe you, but it is of no use, and I can't directly. Just watch it seriously, and that’s why I feel so confident.”
Zhao Changhe nodded: "That's right. So this is not the reason for the relocation?"
"It is possible that the enemies of Tingxue Tower from all sides will come to spy, which will greatly increase the possibility of something going wrong. For this reason, relocation is still possible..." Li Si'an pondered: "But I don't feel like it. Like the main reason, at most one of the reasons? It would be a bit too much to relocate just for this reason..."
Zhao Changhe calmed down and felt that it made sense.
Li Si'an said: "Based on this, maybe Yue Hongling didn't fight because she discovered the secret of Tingxue Tower. There may be other factors. You don't even know whether the fight happened before or after the move. ”
"Well..." Zhao Changhe suddenly felt a little funny.
Before leaving the fortress, I thought Yue Hongling was in danger. After I left in a hurry, I realized that she was actually not in great danger. It was so vast outside the fortress that it was not possible to be blocked so easily.
It’s the same this time, the first judgment is always like this, but after careful analysis, it doesn’t seem to be the case. Even if you are really being chased by Shi Wuding, as long as you can get away from him on the road, hiding in the Miao border is not much easier than outside the Great Wall...
Normally, Yue Hongling does not need others to worry about her. She has much more experience in the world than he does. However, Zhao Changhe is always inexplicably worried about something happening to her...
Perhaps it is this kind of wandering person who gives people the most feeling of being a duckweed. They always feel that they are wandering between life and death at any time, which is the most worrying.
Li Si'an said: "As for Tingxue Tower, I will write to the chief to let her know. If you go to Miao territory, is there anything you need my help with?"
Zhao Changhe said: "The main thing is to help find clues about Yue Hongling. I can't catch it all by myself."
"No, didn't you go to Miao territory to find the entrance to the secret realm?"
"...How can you help with this matter? You can find it. Ying Wu went in by himself a long time ago."
"I can at least arrange an identity for you that makes it easier to live there, otherwise do you think that even a Xia native can get in there like a fish in water?"
"Caravan?"
"Yes, I have a long-term business relationship with Lei Ao, the big toast over there. If you didn't say you were a VIP in the past, at least it wouldn't be a big problem to have someone do some small favors. If you find someone, you need them even more. As for how? When it comes to finding secret realms, your level is higher than ours..."
"Okay..." Zhao Changhe thought for a while: "Is this caravan's identity casual? Can I pretend to be someone else?"
Li Si'an asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"You introduced me as the famous Wang Daozhong of the Wang family, do they believe it?"
"Yes... yes, it's okay." Li Si'an couldn't laugh or cry: "Maybe it would be better. If you are a member of my gang, if you cause trouble there, I will still be involved. If Wang Daozhong asked me to introduce business channels, and I did it out of face, I can tell you what you did there."
Zhao Changhe was very satisfied: "Then it's settled."
Li Si'an said: "Because Wang Daozhong got into trouble with the Yang family, he couldn't stay in Langya after being rescued from prison. He was sent to Miao territory to open up new paths. It is very reasonable..."
"Yeah."
"But you should at least put on a little makeup, and don't treat people like fools...for example, at least get a beard?" Li Si'an looked him up and down: "I'll also change you into a Confucian scholar's shirt..."
Zhao Changhe sighed: "Someone once told me that if I behave in such a mess in the future, he will beat me, don't worry."
At this moment, Zhao Changhe has long forgotten that he said in his early years that he was unwilling to live in the face of others.
I can’t help it, pretending to be a king is too emotional.
Li Si'an found a set of clothes that Wang Daozhong usually wore, and also helped find some fake beards. Zhao Changhe took out bottles and jars and put on makeup. He looked in the mirror and realized, oh, he really looks like a king...
Li Si'an was loading the truck on the side and said: "We mainly transport Shu brocade here and exchange it for jadeite from them. However, the quality of these recent batches of jadeite is very poor, and I originally planned to go and see it in person. At a glance, I can see what is going on... Is Lei Ao starting to play tricks on me, or are our people stationed in the Miao border trying to line their own pockets and pass things off... I happened to bring Mr. Daozhong with me on this trip to introduce me..."
Zhao Changhe looked at the people accompanying the car outside. There were quite a lot of them: "Are they all from the Demon Suppression Division? Or are they from your Brotherhood of Thieves?"
"How can there be so many people in the Demon-Suppressing Division... Some of them are members of the Brotherhood, and some of them are people recruited from the local area. What, you can't believe it?"
"Well..." Zhao Changhe put the dragon bird into the ring, took out the ancient sword Dragon Emperor and put it on his waist: "From now on, you will call me Mr. Daozhong."
Longque squatted in the ring and was a little dumbfounded.
A few days ago I felt like I was going to reuse it, but why did it start to get dusty instead?
You won’t cherish it if you get it, right?
Just when he was about to rebel, Zhao Changhe's comfort came from his mind: "I'm just pretending to be someone else now. When there is an important war, you will be my trump card."
Longque snorted twice but did not respond.
It's really strange. This man really knows how to explain things to a knife... He's really different from Xia Longyuan.
Li Si'an smiled and said: "There is still some time to load the car. Let's go to dinner first? Get used to your status as Mr. Daozhong."
Zhao Changhe looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong, then followed Li Si'an out to a nearby restaurant.
Having barely taken two steps out of the house, a voice of surprise came from the street: "Isn't this Mr. Daozhong? When did you come to Bashu?"
Zhao Changhe turned around and saw a long-robed Confucian scholar passing by with a few followers. He was obviously very surprised to see Wang Daozhong here.
Zhao Changhe had a string of ellipses in his heart, "I don't know you at all. How do you say hello like this?"
I heard Li Si'an's secret message: "The governor of Shu County, Zhai Muzhi, is the chief of the palace, Shi Xie Ruhai."
Zhao Changhe's heart moved slightly.
Just like Xie Ruhai, Zhai Muzhi, the governor of Shu County, in addition to being a local prince, also has an identity that interests people in the world.
After Here Caiwen Que Maitreya and other local rankings fell one after another, the top people on the human rankings were added to the local rankings. Today's goalkeepers on the local rankings are no longer kings, and the number one on the human rankings is no longer the vulture hunter they used to be. It’s a shame, but the number four that year ranked number one.
Whether you are lying down or not, as long as you are at the top of the list, you will become very dazzling.
The fourth person on the previous list and the first on the current list is Zhai Muzhi, the prefect of Shu County.
