The Book of Troubled Times

Tang Wanzhuang didn't seem to hear Xia Chichi's sour words, and her beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Changhe with joy.

"You really persuaded him..."

Zhao Changhe had never seen Tang Wanzhuang look so happy and energetic, and he felt that even the rejuvenation formula had such a rejuvenating effect.

He sighed helplessly: "I don't know how effective my persuasion was. It feels like he wants to do something himself. Otherwise, Hebei will be pushed, and it probably won't be what he wants. Just based on this Things have indeed made our current tense situation a lot easier, and we can breathe a little sigh of relief...but I suggest you not to have any illusions about the follow-up, he cannot be counted on, and you must rely on yourself."

Tang Wanzhuang didn't care about this. Anyway, this was his commission before Zhao Changhe entered the palace, and he really fulfilled it.

Don't talk about not counting on it in the future, Tang Wanzhuang didn't even count on it this time, but Zhao Changhe never let himself down.

Tang Wanzhuang took the initiative to hold his hand, took Xia Chichi's place just now, and walked with him on the street at night: "Did I disturb you and Xia Chichi?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Chichi originally needed to see Suzaku, but the situation suddenly changed, and they also have a lot of information to exchange."

Tang Wanzhuang: "..."

I also saw Suzaku, we were brought into the palace by Suzaku himself...

Now Tang Wanzhuang felt that the most miserable person in the world was Xia Chichi.

"Then where were you planning to go?"

"Of course I'm going to the Tang Mansion to see if your illness is getting better."

Tang Wanzhuang lowered his head and chuckled. In fact, he didn't really believe what he said. Now he was becoming more and more like a veteran of Hua Cong who just said sweet words without hesitation, but how to put it... he was always happy to hear it.

Zhao Changhe said: "Aren't you arresting the criminal? Why don't you go..."

"There is no need for me to go there in person...Tonight the Tiqi are out and they have to capture at least a hundred households. Which house can I go to? I just can't stay idle and just walk with one house at random. Now that I've seen you, what's the point? What to do?"

Zhao Changhe stopped talking. The affection in his words could be heard even by a deaf person.

And Tang Wanzhuang actually didn't shy away from walking hand in hand in the capital... For her, this might be harder than hiding in the house and taking the initiative to kiss.

However, the medicine she had prepared earlier was indeed effective. Zhao Changhe tried his true energy to probe into the palm of her hand. She was in much better condition now. No wonder she couldn't help but come out to arrest people.

Zhao Changhe sighed and said: "You, finally feel better, why don't you stay at home... I really wasn't saying nice things just now. It's something over here. I really want to go back and see you, firstly to see how your condition is, and secondly if you have any symptoms." I’ll discuss it with you.”

Tang Wanzhuang hesitated to speak, lowered her head, kicked the pebbles on the street, and walked forward.

I originally wanted to discuss it with you now, but for some reason, I didn’t want to say it anymore.

We can walk hand in hand with others. I finally did it on impulse. Can't we just stop talking about business first...

But when I think of this, I feel that it is outrageous... Shouldn't it be what I want for him to be full of business and wrong? How could he have such thoughts... He is really possessed.

No matter how much Zhao Changhe has improved in this area, how can he be able to fully understand the heart of his daughter who has gone through thousands of times?

Seeing that Tang Wanzhuang was silent, he continued to speak: "The chaos in the Wang family cannot be prolonged like that of Maitreya... No matter how powerful Maitreya is, it will not be widely accepted. He will not be able to form an alliance wherever he goes. On the contrary, He is fighting alone. But the Wang family is different. Not only may everyone in the world respond, he may also unite with Beihu. Monan Batu's strength is insufficient, and he may not be able to stop Timur from making a comeback."

Tang Wanzhuang naturally knew this and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation will be... If we want to solve it quickly, it is not enough to deal with the Wang family alone. We must deal with the sea clan behind him first." Zhao Changhe said: "I want to go to sea and have a look. "

Tang Wanzhuang was horrified: "How can this be done? How can you be the enemy of gods and demons!"

Zhao Changhe said: "Don't worry...Although I just said that I can't count on Xia Longyuan, this matter is really OK. Xia Longyuan wants to kill the Sea Emperor of the Sea Clan more than anyone else. I doubt that he will let Chi Chi go overseas. He has the idea of ​​​​catching up the Poseidon... He is Schrödinger's human side, and he may turn into a cold god-demonic perspective at any time."

Tang Wanzhuang didn't understand Schrödinger, but she knew that Zhao Changhe was definitely not guessing. Especially the statement that Xia Longyuan wants to kill the Sea Emperor more than anyone else is absolutely true. You can tell by looking at his fist in the battle of Puyang, he is simply impatient.

"So this is a rare occasion. We and Lao Xia have a common goal and a background of cooperation, so there is no need to regret it. I am not worried about Shan Rang leaving late... plus I also want to see things overseas..."

"Then why discuss it with me?" Tang Wanzhuang sighed: "I can't help with anything. Daxia's overseas tentacles were originally extended through the Wang family, who were the Marquis of Zhenhai. But they turned against us. Overseas people are no different than blind people.”

"No help is needed... Before a husband goes on a business trip, he always has to talk to his wife."

"You!" Tang Wanzhuang immediately lost her dignity and tried to pull out the hand that was being held, but was held tightly and couldn't pull it out.

Tang Wanzhuang suddenly realized that with her current physical condition, she might not be his match.

He is really strong now...

But I heard Zhao Changhe whisper: "At the same time, I also want to give you something to worry about... 'He hasn't come back, I at least want to see him one last time'... This way you won't be so easy and don't take your life seriously. .”

Tang Wanzhuang listened blankly, her strength in struggling getting weaker and weaker, and finally she was powerless.

The two of them said nothing again and walked slowly through the night in the capital.

After a long time, Tang Wanzhuang finally said: "If we go to sea, the Tang family has the best ship. I will dispatch a group of Tang family sailors. They have a lot of experience."

As for her husband telling his wife before he went on a business trip, she finally did not refute.

…………

Over there, Xia Chi arrived at the Four Elephants Sect Villa, where Suzaku sat leisurely drinking tea.

Seeing Xia's late return, Suzaku said calmly: "Why, you left the palace so early, why are you here at this time? What time has it been? Do you still have free time to fall in love with Shi Huo Zhu?"

In fact, I'm saying in my heart that it's a good thing you've been in love for so long, otherwise I would have gone to Huangfu's Mansion to talk to Shaozong, changed my hair and clothes, and rushed here to wait for you. I was afraid it would be too late...

"Uh..." Xia Chichi felt that the Venerable's current attitude was indeed less confrontational than before, so he did not contradict him. He did not even answer the question and decisively changed the subject: "The Winged Fire Snake said to the Venerable Have you heard about what happened in the palace?"

"I told you, it's very detailed." Suzaku leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely: "You want to go to sea, I'm sure."

Xia Chichi: "?"

This winged fire snake lied about the military situation. He only wanted to go because Zhao Changhe had just said he wanted to go to sea. When had he said he wanted to go to sea before?

But at this moment, he didn't have any objection. Xia Chichi just complained to Huangfu viciously: "Your Majesty asked the Winged Fire Snake to be fully responsible for the affairs of the palace. Not only did this person not keep a close eye on Xia Longyuan, he also wanted to mess up the palace. It greatly increases our exposure risk."

Suzaku: "..."

Seeing that Zhuque did not express his position, Xia Chichi added: "And this guy is not shy or ashamed on weekdays. He doesn't even wear clothes, so that the rest of the congregation can see it. The reputation of our holy religion is ruined by being so showy. No more. He should be severely punished!"

Suzaku still didn't respond.

Xia Chichi secretly glanced at the Venerable. The Venerable was looking at her intently, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

Xia Chichi was confused and waited strangely for a while. Suzaku finally sighed: "You are right, I will definitely punish the Winged Fire Snake."

Punishing her to sleep with your man is a painful lesson, isn't it?

Xia Chichi looked overjoyed when Suzaku continued: "But Chichi, as a saint, you knew that what she did was inappropriate and failed to stop her on the spot, which was also a dereliction of duty."

Xia Chichi said: "Your Majesty asked me to obey her completely. There is nothing I can do about her using chicken feathers as arrows."

And she also turned into my mother inexplicably...

"If the Holy Maiden Society of our religion does not uphold justice because of this kind of thing and is manipulated by subordinates, it would be a huge disappointment to me." Suzaku said lightly: "I heard from Winged Fire Snake that Xia Longyuan said that you are more than fierce. Insufficient majesty... These words are very precise, perhaps because you are too young, you should reflect on it."

Xia Chichi scratched her head and felt that the venerable was right. She should be tougher. How could she be defeated by that stinky snake saying "I am your mother"...

Suzaku looked at her little appearance, feeling angry and amused, sipping tea and said: "And... you have kept your identity secret from me for so long, what crime should you deserve?"

Xia Chichi said: "I didn't deliberately hide it from Your Majesty... What's the use of that identity? I don't recognize it. I'm against him. Your Majesty wouldn't be so narrow-minded... Shouldn't Your Majesty be planning how to use it?" Is this the right identity? But I still advise the venerable, don’t use it, he will not be bound by such a thing at all."

"Oh, you still educate me?"

Xia Chichi stood obediently.

Zhuque said: "In short, the two things are punished together. Do you admit it?"

Xia Chichi muttered: "As long as the Winged Fire Snake is punished, I will admit it."

"Of course they will be punished. Will I still lie to you?" Suzaku put down the tea cup, but suddenly changed the subject: "This time you go to sea is different from the last time... You didn't have any enemies last time. What if treasures are involved this time? Or the fight for the secret realm, the reaction of the Sea Clan is unpredictable, I don’t trust you to go alone. I will write to you Uncle Xuanwu later and ask her to go out to support you if she is free. Don’t look at her squatting outside the wall and playing in the sand every day. In fact, her water attribute is extremely strong."

Xia Chichi didn't know why she suddenly came here, so she could only say: "I know."

Suzaku nodded with satisfaction: "Then before I contact Xuanwu, just copy the scriptures, concentrate on meditation, and reflect carefully."
