Chapter 228 Rumors

“Crash~” The sword hunter on the lakeside saw the two pig heads emerging from the lake, and ran away in fright.

Who can not run! Even if two pigs emerged from the lake, one of them was still covered in smoke, looking like a monster!

Suzaku laughed so hard that he thought it was very funny.

Zhao Changhe glanced sideways at her, feeling regretful in his heart.

When he entered the sword room, he was thinking about Han Wubing and sensing the remaining sword power, but he didn’t even think of taking a look at her. The weather is still hot, and everyone’s clothes are very thin. What kind of beauty will the wet body of such a **** lady look like after entering the water?

As a result, the water came out, and she was able to use her Qi to dry her clothes, which made her forget all about it…

Is the ninth level of the entrance hall so awesome?

Zhao Changhe can only dry his body, but he is far behind in drying clothes. Even if he can dry clothes in the future with advanced cultivation, the water vapor will still have to evaporate slowly. How can he be like her? It dries instantly. Is this pumping or drying?

Suzaku said: “What’s that look in your eyes? Are you regretting not taking a second look in the sword room just now?”

“No, no, I admire your cultivation.”

“The fire we cultivate belongs to the true qi, so of course it is better than ordinary people in this aspect.” Suzaku smiled: “It’s not like the spring water spirit you and some people learned, which makes you wet even if you don’t do anything.”

Zhao Changhe: “?”

It seems like a wheel ran over it?

Zhuque seemed not to know that he was driving, and said leisurely: “Don’t you feel uncomfortable being wet? Do you want me to help you?”

“Please help if you can.”

“Call me good sister.”

Waiting here, right? Zhao Changhe couldn’t help laughing, but he didn’t hesitate. He actually said coquettishly: “Good sister~”

Seeing a pig’s head in front of him squeezing his throat and shouting “Hello sister”, Suzaku almost burst out laughing. He endured it again and again, and finally bent down while holding his stomach: “Hahahaha…”

Zhao Changhe looked at her speechlessly.

This sister is becoming more and more smiling, and she is different from when we first met her. It seems that after taking off the snake face and replacing it with a pig head, a lot of things are released under the mask.

Zhuque seemed to be aware of his gaffe, but didn’t care. He still laughed and panted, stood up and patted Zhao Changhe on the shoulder.

The hot Qi surged through instantly, and under the steaming mist, the clothes dried directly.

Zhao Changhe was stunned: “Awesome…”

“Want to learn?” Zhuque said with a smile: “Join the religion, I will teach you.”

Zhao Changhe said nothing and strode straight into the city.

Suzaku hummed and followed.

Jianhu City has always been a rather special city. Zhao Changhe learned about it last time he came here. In terms of the imperial establishment, this city is actually just a town regulation. It is entirely due to the prosperity caused by “tourism” that the city is expanding. , but the imperial court did not upgrade the city and it was still a town. There is not even a government office in the town, and it has completely become a “lawless place” where various gangs and gangs live together.

Zhao Changhe was confused last time. There was no government agency, so who was in charge of taxation… Can the subordinate officials in the town suppress these unruly gangs?

The Demon Suppressing Division does not have an independent office, and for some unknown reason, it set up its office in a brothel. Over time, top concerned people such as the Four Elephants Sect have more or less guessed the nature of Wanhua Tower. I wonder if the local gangsters know it.

In short, this situation is very martial arts, but very unrealistic. There must be a reason for its formation, but we didn’t understand it more deeply last time.

We arrived at the bamboo forest in the backyard of Wanhua Building with ease. The doorman was still a familiar doorman, and the pig head was an unfamiliar pig head. As expected, he was stopped: “You two, this is a private bamboo forest, not a place for romance… …”

Suzaku: “…”

Why do I get talked about being in love everywhere I go? The same thing was said by those who robbed me before.

Don’t you just wear the same pig face? How come you are in love?

Zhao Changhe did not reveal his face, but quietly took out his jade token to signal. The guards suddenly became excited, looked around, and lowered their voices: “I have seen the secret envoy. What are your orders?”

Tsk, it seems that this brand is really high-level, not a secret agent, but a secret envoy…

Suzaku looked at him sideways and said nothing. This brand is probably Tang Wanzhuang’s unique brand. The brand is like face to face. This little man never thought that from the moment he picked up the card, he represented Tang Wanzhuang and was not a subordinate spy at all.

I don’t know yet that I am being manipulated by my eldest sister.

Zhao Changhe put on a pig-like head and acted like a secret envoy: “Take us in, who is in charge here now, let him come to see me.”

After saying that, he went straight into the courtyard and went straight to the bamboo house where Tang Wanzhuang lived. The guards took it for granted and quickly went to report it to the person in charge.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in well-dressed clothes hurried up the stairs and saluted: “My subordinate, Jianhu City Zi, is awarded the title of Wei Zicai. What are your orders to the special envoy?”

“I want the whole story about Han Wubing.”

Wei Zicai was very straightforward: “He had a conflict with Ji Yinan from the Tianyi Gang, and killed Ji Yinan during the fight. Pinghu would stand up for the Tianyi Gang, and the two gangs worked together to capture Han Wubing. Wu Bing was finally defeated by the combined strength of the two parties and was forced to flee, and the Tianyi Gang was absorbed by the Pinghu Society.”

Zhao Changhe’s first reaction was that something was wrong: “Incorporated?”

Wei Zicai showed a smile: “Yes… So it is still unknown whether Han Wubing killed Ji Yinan or not. Maybe it was Yan Lianping who did it. Since he could be framed by Han Wubing, Gathering the strength of the two gangs to capture Han Wubing, forcing out the location of the ancient sword and the source of Han Wubing’s new swordsmanship, and at the same time naturally taking over the Tianyi Gang, kill two birds with one stone.”

This is a true Jianghu matter. Zhao Changhe and Suzaku, who had just separated from the Wang family, almost simultaneously felt a feeling of going from the court to the Jianghu, as if they had changed the world.

But to be honest, this is what they like more. At least Zhao Changhe is far more interested in this kind of thing than the world affairs that dominate the world.

Hearing that Han Wubing just escaped and nothing happened, Zhao Changhe felt a lot more at ease, and asked again: “Han Wubing was living in seclusion, why did he reveal some new swordsmanship and get involved in a gang fight? Is that so? Because his presence in the city aroused suspicion?”

“It is normal for Han Wubing to occasionally appear in the city to purchase food. He also behaved like this when he lived in seclusion by the lake, and no one cared about it.” Wei Zicai said: “What was really exposed was that he helped Zhao Changhe came forward.”

“?” Zhao Changhe was stunned: “How did you get involved with Zhao Changhe? Please tell me in detail.”

“Some people spread rumors that Zhao Changhe’s physique and broadsword were not like those from the Central Plains. He might be a grassland spy or the illegitimate son of the mad lion He Lei. Han Wubing was shopping when he heard this and became furious and started fighting with him. It was only then that he was exposed to other sword techniques that were far beyond what Jian Lu had learned, and he was suspected to have mastered the secret of Sword Lake.”

Zhao Changhe fell silent immediately.

Suzaku glanced at Zhao Changhe, this guy is really loyal… Originally, Han Wubing just ran away and did not die. This matter really does not necessarily need to be investigated. At this moment, I am afraid that Zhao Changhe will not care about it. It’s possible.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath: “Your Majesty used this kind of knife in the battle. Where did the so-called prairie style come from, and do some people believe this kind of thing?”

“There are many fools in the world. If someone says something, someone will believe it.” Wei Zicai said: “This kind of rumor may involve a deeper purpose. I also wrote to the chief two days ago. Now that the special envoy has arrived, That would be better…”

Zhao Changhe frowned. Yes, talking about his origin is actually a very sensitive matter. Wanting to fundamentally shake his legal principles as the successor of Daxia, this sounds like something done by the Four Symbols Sect. of.

He turned his head and glanced at Suzaku, who looked at him coldly. Zhao Changhe smiled and shook his head. Of course it was not the Four Symbols Sect. Times had changed and the Four Symbols Sect was planning to accept him as a sect. This would no longer be beneficial to the Four Symbols Sect.

Maybe it’s the Wang family, the Maitreya sect, or simply a foreign race?

“When did this happen?”

“Three days ago.”

Three days ago, the Wang family was the most likely, and this place was not far from Langya.

But having said that, Han Wubing exposed his martial arts knowledge because of this incident, but why Tianyi Gang Pinghu caused trouble for him may not be directly related to this. There may be another situation here, and Han Wubing may Was involved in other fights.

Because this Sword Lake City is a freak from the bottom up, there can be no secrets inside.

Zhao Changhe pondered for a long time and suddenly said: “Why does Jianhu City have the current regulations? Can Wei Zishuo explain in detail?”
