Chapter 139 The Tang Family in Gusu

“Although my Tang family is in Gusu, Gusu’s surname is not Tang, and it is different from the Cui family in Qinghe.” In the carriage, Tang Buqi leaned in the arms of the maid and sipped wine, briefly introducing Gusu to Zhao Changhe. Situation: “My Tang family is not a top-notch family like the Cui family. It’s hard to compare. I suggest you keep an eye on Cui Yuanyang. Ah, don’t think about anything else.”

Zhao Changhe leaned against the wall of the compartment speechlessly, one leaning against the maid and the other against the compartment wall. He was already upset, but he was even more upset after hearing these words: “Introduce Gusu, just introduce Gusu, talk about the Cui family What?”

Tang Buqi felt quite comfortable: “Isn’t this convenient for you to make an intuitive comparison?”

“You don’t need to compare me to know that everyone has heard Qinghe Cui. Has anyone heard of Gusu Tang? The rookie seems very proud of it.”

“…The Tang family was at least a famous family in the current dynasty! It has the merit of following the dragon! How could others not have heard of it? Who do the Beimang bandits say is a noob?”

“I think if it weren’t for the late Tang Dynasty makeup, who was ranked among the top three at a young age and one of the best in the dynasty, he was able to support this family… If everyone is like you… sne, in the future, the Tang family will be the first Yan , it’s not unimaginable to fly into a bandit’s house…”

Tang Buqi glared angrily: “Every family has people who specialize in studying, and they don’t rely on martial arts to govern the country!”

“Really? Why is your aunt so eager to break through that she hurts the lung meridian? I suggest your family think about it carefully and don’t take advantage of her hard work to leisurely lean on the little maid and eat grapes. You are literally drinking her blood.”

Tang Buqi was stunned, his scowl gradually disappeared, he looked at the wine in a daze and stopped talking.

Zhao Changhe looked at him sideways for a long time, and finally said nothing more, turning to the main topic: “So there are many large and small families in Gusu, right? The Tang family should be considered the leader in the local area by virtue of its position as the head of the Demon Suppression Division. ”

“…not bad.”

“By the way, is there Gusu Murong? I think they are more famous than the Tang family.”

“I’ve never heard of it. How did you hear these nonsense?”

“Do you have any clues about the suspected evil place? Is it the Tiger Hill Sword Pond?”

Tang Buqi was a little surprised: “Hey, where do you know about Gusu? Haven’t you been in the north all your life?”

“Hmm, is that right?”

“What a hammer! The Tiger Hill Sword Pond is on the hill behind my house!”

Zhao Changhe: “Grass.”

“But having said that, a long time ago, oh, let’s say the last era, there was indeed talk about the evil spirit problem in the Huqiu Sword Pond, and there might be evil swords hidden in it. But my family has already circled this place, and generations before and after have already I checked this place clearly and found nothing, so what I said this time should have nothing to do with it.”

Zhao Changhe rubbed his chin and pondered. It may not be irrelevant. Judging from the previous experience in Gujian Lake, there might be a copy. It’s just that a group of strong men in your family were patrolling and the copy was closed.

“Are there any rumors about haunting in your family? Has anyone been attacked by evil spirits? Could your aunt’s illness be related to this?”

“I know what you are thinking…but unfortunately, no. My aunt’s illness was caused in the capital last year, not at home.”

“…” Zhao Changhe still feels that the possibility exists. Based on current experience, the rumors related to the “last era” are beyond the understanding of low-level martial arts people at the time. It is normal for them to be confused.

Of course, this is only a possibility and does not represent a fact. You still have to go to Suzhou to explore for details.

“What about other rumors? How does Fa Yuan judge that the thing is more likely to be in Suzhou?”

“How do I know what Fa Yuan’s judgment is based on? The reply was not finished yet.”

During the discussion, the little maid who had been feeding Tang Buqi wine and grapes hesitated to speak: “There were rumors before going out that someone suddenly went crazy and stabbed people in the south of the city. The young master of the Lu family was passing by. He was shot dead on the spot. It was originally thought that it was an accident, but later the young master of the Lu family suddenly went crazy. People said that he went out of his mind and didn’t know what happened next.”

Tang Buqi was startled: “Master of the Lu family, is he Lu Shaoxiong? This guy and I are still friends, why didn’t I hear about it?”

The maid glanced at him carefully: “Young master, you were drunk in Xunhua Lane for five days at that time. Young mistress was crying at home… When you came back, you were scolded by the master, so you were kicked out to practice.”

Tang Buqi’s face turned into a pig’s liver.

Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked out the car window.

No more words were spoken along the way, the chat had been killed.

Originally, it was just an incident of madly slashing people and going crazy. They were commonplace and did not mean anything. But since the two incidents are related, and they happen to be in the context of the Maitreya cult looking for this evil place, it is worth exploring.

…………

Yangzhou is not far from Suzhou. The group speeded up and arrived quickly.

I feel that the closer I get to Suzhou, the less weird the atmosphere of Maitreya Religion becomes. I have never seen any scenes of worshiping Buddha and Maitreya, and I don’t always hear people talking about “going to the Buddha” wherever I go. Buddha”.

There are temples, but they are also very deserted.

It seems that even if the Maitreya religion is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, at least in Suzhou, the base camp of late Tang Dynasty makeup, it still dare not easily spread. Even if it exists, it is developing and infiltrating in secret, which is much better than the situation in Yangzhou. .

But Zhao Changhe still felt intuitively that the Maitreya Sect would not wait until everything was ready.

The Incident in Yangzhou must have been a huge blow to the Maitreya Sect. If the list of names and various information found is followed, the Maitreya Sect’s many years of development near Yangzhou will probably be in vain soon. The leader Maitreya will probably not sit back and watch this situation continue, and there is a great possibility of launching it in advance.

During the Yangzhou Incident, Maitreya was looking for evil spirit treasures in Jinling. He didn’t know what happened yet, but he definitely knows it now, and there is a high probability that he has returned to the main altar to prepare for operations. The opportunity to launch the attack may be the connection of information after Chi Li returned. Once the barbarians go south, the Maitreya Sect in Jiangnan will definitely start trouble.

This is a deduction on the surface.

During this process, the Maitreya Cult will definitely not let go of Gusu, a pure land surrounded by Jiangnan that has not been invaded by the Maitreya Cult, and will definitely take action. If corresponding precautions were not taken, the Tang family’s disaster might come unexpectedly.

At this moment, Suzhou is likely to have its last peace.

I don’t know if Tang Wanzhuang will have thought of this after receiving the report from Yangzhou. In short, it seems that Tang Buqi has not thought of it now, let alone the Tang family.

When we arrived at Tang’s house, we couldn’t even see the solemn atmosphere of the impending mountain rain. Servants came and went. When we walked in, we heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the attic in the distance. A large group of people were surrounding Tang Buqi nearby. Asking questions:

“The young master is back?”

“Young master has been out working hard… oh, I’m even tanned.”

“I heard that the young master killed barbarians with force, outsmarted the prefect’s assassination, and thwarted the Maitreya Sect’s conspiracy in Yangzhou!”

“Young master really makes us look good!”

If Zhao Changhe was not around, Tang Buqi would definitely hold his head high and enjoy the popularity. But feeling Zhao Changhe’s squinting eyes and half-smiling expression beside him, Tang Buqi just wanted to cover his face: “Okay, okay, what’s the point of bragging about a small thing? Let’s greet the whole guest house.” Hello my guest.”

The servants looked at Zhao Changhe, knowing clearly that this was Qianlong Thirty-eight, who was much stronger than everyone present, but there was some invisible contempt in their eyes.

The young master is really able to play with anyone. He used to suspect that a certain old beggar was a peerless master, and even invited people to his house to greet him. In the end, it was confirmed that he was the real old beggar, which made the master very angry. This time I brought another gangster…

Of course, I don’t dare to show this attitude in front of Tang Buqi. The young master can beat people if he acts violently.

A butler nodded and bowed: “Mr. Zhao, please come with me. It’s a quiet guest house. Mr. Bao is satisfied.”

Zhao Changhe took in all the people’s expressions and smiled slightly.

The aristocratic family…the home maintained by Tang Wanzhuang.

He was too lazy to care about this, and just said: “It’s okay to live wherever you like. It’s serious to look after my horse. Then someone will take me to the back mountain. I want to see the Tiger Hill Sword Pond first.”
