Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 444: The red feather appears
Chapter 444 The Red Feather Appears
Unexpectedly, when Lei Hu faced Wang Daozhong, although he was a little cautious, he did not see any awe. He quickly laughed: "I have admired you for a long time, a big man on the earth's list. It is rare to see him. He is shining brightly. He is shining brightly. Shenghui...Mr. Wang please!”
As he spoke, he held Li Si'an's arm affectionately and entered the account together: "Has the fourth brother not been here for some time? Where have you made your fortune these years?"
Li Si'an followed him in with a smile: "I have been mainly in Jingxiang these years, and rarely traveled around."
Zhao Changhe followed in with great interest. The other party seemed enthusiastic, but in fact, he also had a hint of scorn... It was the first time he discovered that the royal road in Middle-earth, which was so dazzling wherever he went, could be such a passerby. .
What the other party is actually saying is that he cares about the strength of your Earth Ranking. As for King Langya, don’t mention it. No matter whether you are King Langya or Cui Qinghe, this is Erhai Lake, and your family's hand cannot reach this far. Only your own strength can be treated with caution, and everything else is empty.
But even on the local rankings, the lower-ranked Wangdao Zhong will not have much intimidation in this mixed place. The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes. You must have business here, and you cannot rely on it as soon as you come here. If you bully someone, can you still get the job done?
You must abide by the rules here.
Everyone was seated separately by host and guest. Lei Ao waved his hand proudly: "Come here, serve osmanthus wine to the distinguished guests."
Zhao Changhe sat on the side drinking wine without saying a word, observing Lei Ao and Li Si'an having a laugh.
Lei Ao was continuing the previous topic to Li Si'an: "So they are all in Jingxiang. Jingxiang is great! It feels like the fourth brother has grown up a lot... Why are you in the mood to bring the goods in person this time?"
Li Si'an smiled slightly and said: "Let me see if brother Lei is being bullied by others and if he needs help."
Lei Ao said in astonishment: "Why did Fourth Brother say this?"
Li Si'an pretended to be surprised: "Is there no problem with Brother Lei's upstream supply?"
Lei Ao was stunned, and immediately sighed: "I really didn't expect that such a thing would actually make the fourth brother come all the way here, but it makes the brother feel bad."
Li Si'an asked curiously: "How do you say this? Is this just 'this little thing'?"
Lei Ao said: "Well, it's really hard for us to talk openly about this."
He glanced at "Wang Daozhong" and lowered his voice: "After the tax money was intercepted in early spring, the Southwest Xuanwei Department didn't just let it go, but collected it from each family again..."
Li Si'an's expression moved slightly.
It was collected again, but he didn't hear about it... Where did it go after being collected? The court didn't see it either... Could it be that he was robbed again?
Including the batch that was just robbed, wouldn’t it mean that we have lost tax money three times?
"Fourth brother must have thought about it, who can afford to peel off layer after layer like this? This time, we can't just use the goods on hand to pay it directly, what else can we leave behind?" It's fine..." Lei Ao sighed: "Not to mention using defective products to deal with the fourth brother, it is actually the best product we have now. Now we just hope that this time can be completed and return to normal in the future. Don’t talk about jade and jade. I’m afraid even the locals can’t afford it.”
Li Si'an thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
This is a market town. It looks lively here, but that doesn’t mean things are peaceful for all ethnic groups.
If what Lei Ao said is true, then the Southwest Bailiao has probably reached the limit of its endurance... and this time it was robbed again, so Xuanwei Division will just give up on it, in case it happens again...
Will Southwest be forced to rebel?
Zhao Changhe was also wondering, could it be that Li Shentong's purpose of robbing the bank was still to force the Southwest to rebel? But whether the Southwest Xuanwei Division will continue to search, that is not something Li Shen Tong can control...
Lei Ao said again: "If fourth brother doesn't believe it, can you come with us to see the warehouse?"
Li Si'an waved his hand: "Forget it. What do you think about this situation now?"
Lei Ao tried to say: "Fourth brother is a rich man from China and has some face. I don't know if I can talk to Xuanwei Division. If I can..."
Li Si'an laughed out loud: "This kind of thing, now the Buddha is here, if you don't hold your thick legs, what use do you have to me?"
Lei Ao's eyes finally fell on "Wang Daozhong" and smiled: "I reunited with my fourth brother after a long separation. I talked a few more words and neglected Mr. Wang. I wonder what Mr. Wang does when he comes to Erhai?"
Actually, Zhao Changhe knew that Lei Ao did not intend to let him find the Xuanwei Division, otherwise his attitude would not have been like this when they first met.
It is very possible that these were all nonsense before, and they were all done to deal with Li Si'an. An old fritter like Li Si'an should have noticed it, but they were just trying to deal with each other.
Judgment flashed through his mind, Zhao Changhe sipped his wine and said leisurely: "First, I want to expand some business routes for the family, and secondly, I heard that there are many strange people in the southwest, and I want to recruit talents for the family. Mr. Lei is deeply involved in farming here. After many years, I wonder if you can teach me?"
Lei Ao said: "I wonder what kind of strange people Mr. Wang wants?"
"Of course he knows how to use poison. Isn't this the biggest difference between Southwest Bailiao and China?"
Lei Ao shook his head: "Those who know the art of witchcraft and poison are basically the priests of the clan. They have extremely strict regulations and will not go out to do things for others, let alone leak the poison easily. Otherwise, after so many years, Why doesn’t anyone go to the Central Plains? Mr. Wang should know this.”
"This is one moment, and the other is the same." Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "Now that you have been forced into this by the dog officials, you no longer seek new ways, you still cling to the old rules, and it is really ridiculous."
Li Si'an looked sideways.
Zhao Changhe continued to make outrageous remarks: "I don't know how many troubles you have heard about Middle-earth since you are isolated in the southwest... I won't hide it from you. Our Wang family wants to clear your side. If someone wants to find another way out, how can I, the Wang family, Isn’t it the best choice? ”
Li Si'an just wanted to cover his face.
Zhao Changhe paused deliberately, and then said slowly: "If anyone wants to be independent, you might as well contact my Wang family and help each other."
Not only Li Si'an couldn't bear to look at what he heard, Lei Ao even twitched and said hurriedly: "This, this matter is too big, it is not something Lei can decide..."
"There is no need to decide now. Mr. Lei can go back and ask the head of his family or other wizards he has good friends with."
Lei Ao's previous arrogance was gone, and he wiped his sweat and said: "Then please Mr. Wang stay a little longer and visit Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake."
Zhao Changhe said: "Wang and Mr. Si'an came here just to find a guide. Once here, Mr. Si'an has his own thing to do. We are not all together, so naturally we feel embarrassed to continue disturbing him. I wonder if I can ask Lei The husband wants some followers to be local guides, and the price will satisfy these brothers."
If you want Lei Ao to help find information about Yue Hongling or the disciples of Jianlu, you obviously can't tell them directly. Zhao Changhe plans to use his entourage and guides to sneak in and see if they have seen any girls in red and swordsmen in white. If there really isn't one, then if you find a reason to "remember something" and ask Lei Ao to mobilize people to help find it, it won't be so obvious.
Lei Ao smiled heartily: "How dare you ask Mr. Wang for money? Who is this..."
He circled his fingers and was about to assign a few attendants when a cold voice suddenly came from outside: "It is said that Mr. Langya King has arrived here... The sword pavilion is uncertain. I have heard about the name of Langya Sea Sword for a long time. May Mr. Don’t hesitate to teach me.”
Li Si'an was shocked, and Zhao Changhe was also dumbfounded.
Nima, Lao Wang, can you also cause trouble for me?
No, that's not right...
Is this a joy or a sorrow?
After breaking through the iron shoes and finding nowhere, the disappeared Lord of the Sword House appeared here inexplicably, and even found Wang Daozhong... If the follow-up can be followed by him, all mysteries can be solved.
But the problem is that there is no certainty in defeating the times!
You are sixth on the list and your life is gone. Do you still want to follow them and turn into a ghost to follow them?
But the matter has come to this, and it is impossible to outrun the situation by running. It is better to go out and deal with it and see if the words can have an effect...
Zhao Changhe stood up and went out with a look of indifference, and responded in his mouth: "Sect Master Shi is too polite... Your Excellency is sixth on the ranking list, and Wang is accompanying the last one. It should be Wang who seeks advice from Sect Master Shi."
Li Si'an said anxiously: "Sir!"
Nima, you can't die here for no reason. How will I explain to the chief when I go back?
Zhao Changhe waved his hand and walked out.
The guards outside had already dispersed spontaneously, forming an open space. In the center of the open space, a swordsman in white stood there quietly, his body upright, his eyes slightly closed, and his head bowed.
The whole person looked like a sword... It reminded Zhao Changhe of Han Wubing when they first met.
Now Han Wubing smiles a little more and is less faceless...
Seeing "Wang Daozhong" coming out, the swordsman opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a sharp sword flashing through the air, making a thunder-like explosion.
Zhao Changhe held the ancient Dragon King sword in his hand and handed it over at the right time: "The style of the master is still the same."
Whether you recognize it or not, these words can be used to deal with it. What's more important is that this surrender actually used the ancient sword Dragon Emperor to silently eliminate the opponent's "Sword of the Heart" without showing any trace of fireworks.
Zhao Changhe didn’t learn a few swordsmanship moves, but he saw too many.
He had seen similar techniques in the Sword Emperor's inheritance. One of the reasons why I feel that the path of swordsmanship is not the end of the road is that I feel that there are too few changes. There are only a few things that come and go, and there is no style of swordsmanship that so many scholars of all ages have studied.
Seeing that "Wang Daozhong" easily saw through his own power and defused it easily, Shi Wuding finally showed a solemn look in his eyes: "It is too modest to say that your Excellency is the last one on the list. With this one hand alone, It’s not a problem to get a few.”
Zhao Changhe smiled: "No matter how much we advance, we are still no match for Sect Master Shi. Sect Master Shi just turned a blind eye, and Wang finally raised his hand. I have never heard of the principle of a high-ranking person challenging a low-ranking person. Sect Master Shi and When Wang met in a foreign land, he was supposed to have a drink, so why did Wang Daozhong just admit defeat and invite him to sit down at the Sect Master's restaurant?"
Shi Wuding said calmly: "You are a member of an aristocratic family, you are indeed magnanimous. It is precisely because you are among the kings that I have to choose..."
Before he finished speaking, a sword energy suddenly shot into the sky in the distance.
Shi Wuding's face, which had always been as calm as a dead person, finally changed, and he turned his head to look back in surprise.
A swordsman from the sect flew over and said: "Sect Master, the ambassador of Xuanwei was assassinated. He was dressed in red and disappeared in a flash."
Shi Wuding took a deep breath and whispered to himself: "What a Yue Hongling... I thought she could not escape like a lost dog, but it turned out that she had been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack... I was underestimating the enemy and was negligent... ”
He turned to Wang Daozhong in front of him, cupped his hands and said: "Something went wrong. I need to go back... I will ask Mr. Wang for help another day."
After saying that, he disappeared.
I didn’t notice that Mr. Wang had a smile on his face and a gentle look on his face.
The red feathers in the setting sun cannot be restrained... As expected, no one needs to worry.
