Chapter 372 I’m letting you
Lu Shiheng’s expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: “My words are serious. Lu has been preparing for war these days, training sergeants day and night, recruiting masters… Unless Maitreya comes with an army in person, I will rely on this to get rid of my few soldiers and horses. It’s not that easy to destroy Xiangyang.”
Tang Wanzhuang smiled: “Really? The prefect is indeed a capable minister.”
“I dare not accept this praise.” Lu Shiheng said: “If there is something wrong with Xiangyang, it is the lack of money and food. Can the chief help transfer some to Jiangnan… Oh, the road is impassable, why not transfer to Heluo Is there enough food over there?”
Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: “I have no control over Heluo.”
Lu Shiheng was stunned: “Why? The leader went south this time. It is said that His Majesty gave him great authority…”
Tang Wanzhuang said: “Because Hongnong Yang has refused to listen, my power is invalid against them.”
Lu Shiheng looked like he was taking a breath: “The Hongnong Yang family has been very low-key these years, isn’t it just because Wang Daozhong helped them capture Yang Qianyuan? Just for this trivial matter?”
“You and I don’t know the specific details… but this is at most just an introduction to contact. The contact may not be the Wang family, but also the Four Symbols Sect.” Tang Wan’s beautiful eyes turned on Lu Shiheng’s face, and he was stunned. Said: “So if the Yang family goes south and attacks the Maitreya Sect from both sides…or if the Suzaku Xuanwu attacks the house, will the prefect still have confidence?”
Tang Wanzhuang did not know that Lu Shiheng was colluding with the Maitreya Sect. She hurried to Xiangyang because she was worried that Lu Shiheng would join the alliance between the Wang family, the Yang family, and the Sixiang sect.
Because Lu Shiheng was an old official of the Wang family, he had been taught swordsmanship by Wang Daoning and promoted him.
On the surface, Lu Shiheng was on both sides of Xiangyang and Langyatian. After the Wang family’s attempts to test the world, Lu Shiheng had no contact with the Wang family and became his loyal minister in Great Xia. But once the power of the alliance reaches this point, he can change the flag with just a word.
This kind of force is a hundred times more troublesome than the Maitreya Cult. The biggest reason is that they will not encounter resistance from forces from various places like the Maitreya Cult. For example, Lu Shiheng in front of him, facing the Maitreya Cult and the Wang family and the Yang family, that is Completely different performance.
Before the Battle of Taihu, Tang Wanzhuang heard about the changes in the Yang family, and wanted to come to Xiangyang at that time. With her here, there is still a chance to sway Lu Shiheng’s tendency, and he should at least give it a try… So as soon as the war ended, he came here at night to seize the day.
That’s why she reminded Li Si’an and Da Zhou that too many carrier pigeons could easily be exposed. This sentence was aimed at the city lord. Besides the city lord, what other forces were qualified to pay attention to the carrier pigeons in the city? Once Lu Shiheng changes, Li Si’an, Dazhou and others will be in great danger.
It’s a pity that when I came here, I found that Xiangongyuan had changed, Li Si’an had been captured, and Lu Shiheng’s rebellious intentions were revealed.
It’s still too late… If I repair everywhere alone, how can I finish patching up the cracked sky everywhere?
At this moment, Lu Shiheng was saying: “The Northern Army needs to cross the river to go south, but it is not that easy… If the leader is worried about this, it is better to contact the capital. If the Yang family makes any move, attack its back, and Xiangyang’s danger will be solved. I I don’t think the Yang family has the courage.”
Of course the Yang family does not have the courage, what they want is to take the important land of Xiangyang directly into their pockets without spending a single soldier.
Tang Wanzhuang sighed, and when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
She taught Zhao Changhe how to perceive the soul like the moon reflecting in the water. Even Zhao Changhe could often use this to sense dangers in the distance, let alone Tang Wanzhuang?
She clearly felt the sounds of more and more powerful people inside Xiangongyuan. The surrounding rooftops were filled with powerful people forming formations, and strong bows and crossbows surrounded the brothel.
When Lu Shiheng came to make these simple remarks, he actually arranged to be surrounded by people inside and outside. Was Lu Shiheng just waiting for him to come and dig into this trap?
Where did he have the courage to brave the disapproval of the world and openly hunt down the leader of the Demon Suppression Division in Xiangyang? Even the Wang family dare not do this, how dare he, Lu Shiheng?
Does he think he can control the whole city and hide this? But the Tang family knows that they are here, and if something goes wrong, no matter whether the Book of Troubled Times broadcasts it or not, you can’t hide it from the Tang family. What are you doing?
Tang Wanzhuang’s thoughts were racing, and she pretended not to know anything. She swallowed all the words she had originally wanted to say as a lobbyist and sipped her tea slowly: “Since the prefect said so, it seems that Wanzhuang was overly concerned. What the prefect said makes sense, I should go to Beijing immediately.”
Lu Shiheng smiled and came over to give her tea: “It’s getting late, so there’s no need to travel day and night like this. You might as well rest in Xiangyang for a night and hit the road again tomorrow morning. In fact, you can also send messages, and you don’t need to travel here and there in person. Let’s go.”
“If you stay here one more night, my head may be hanging on the city gate tomorrow morning.” When the word “head” was mentioned, Tang Wanzhuang suddenly took action and grabbed Lu Shiheng’s throat!
Lu Shiheng happened to lean over to refill the tea. The blow was so fast that he only had time to tilt his head subconsciously. Tang Wan’s makeup had already hit his shoulder, and his whole body felt sore and numb.
Lu Shiheng regretted it too much. He knew clearly that this woman was ridiculously strong and acted vigorously and decisively, but her appearance was too deceptive. No matter how much he warned himself every time he faced her, he was still not so vigilant. This distance You shouldn’t move forward on your own. Poor Tangtang Renbang No. 48, he couldn’t even block her attack. He was already pinned down by his acupuncture points.
Fortunately, the arrangement has been completed. As soon as Tang Wanzhuang made a move, he was pulled and the person who had been ambushing for a long time suddenly broke out of the wall. The terrifying sword light struck Tang Wanzhuang’s back.
Tang Wanzhuang was already prepared. He turned around, brushed his delicate hand, and hit the opponent’s knife side.
Then there was a “Hey” sound, and both parties shook slightly. The sword light faded away, revealing Maitreya’s fat body, shaped like a mountain of flesh.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the makeup on the face was as heavy as water.
I never thought it was Maitreya!
How could it be Maitreya?
Tang Wanzhuang took a deep breath and said coldly: “It’s you, I didn’t expect it… Can Mr. Lu give me an explanation?”
“Explanation?” Lu Shiheng, who had his acupoints tapped, became even calmer: “Didn’t the leader see that he didn’t care about my life or death at all, he just wanted your life? It’s meaningless for you to use me as a hostage. ”
Maitreya failed to succeed in any of his moves, but he was not in a hurry and said with a smile: “Master Tang, I can’t believe that we meet again after only a day apart.”
Tang Wanzhuang frowned slightly. Maitreya was injured by himself in Taihu Lake before and escaped, but he didn’t expect to recover so quickly. Now he doesn’t seem to be injured at all. Yesterday’s victory seems to be illusory… Is the dual cultivation technique of Bliss Dafa really so magical?
She took a deep breath and said coldly: “Buddha thought he had a plan, but he never thought that as the leader of one party, going deep into the enemy’s territory, this kind of behavior… not only is the pattern low, but also actually becomes someone else’s chess piece. ?”
“Chess?” Maitreya said with a smile: “It’s nothing more than giving me the blame for the death of the Tang Dynasty leader in Xiangyang to the Maitreya Sect. But in fact, if I want to take over this city, there are other people in the house who are in the way, either Wang Daoning or Yang Jingxiu. …But so what? I am not afraid of being blamed for killing you, and the plan of the Wang and Yang families may not come true. After killing you, I will play chess with them.”
Tang Wanzhuang asked: “Could it be that Prefect Lu has actually been controlled by your goddess?”
“What do you think?” Maitreya smiled and said: “Including you…these famous families are so high and mighty, they think that just to show off their face is more useful than anything else. That’s all **** fake.”
Tang Wanzhuang didn’t answer, but there was some truth in what he said. He also overestimated his own appearance, which is why he came here alone… Of course, it was not all about appearance, but many considerations in various aspects of power and background. But the brainwashing and control of the exercises are enough to make these things become nothing.
This is the unique advantage of cults such as Maitreya Sect and Four Symbols Sect, which makes everyone’s usual thinking fall into misunderstandings.
Maitreya said with a smile: “Master Tang, you and I have fought against each other several times before, and I have actually suffered a lot. The first time at the Sword Lake, it was a dispute between us and the Four Symbols Sect. You intervened suddenly, and I don’t want to fight with you. Fight. The second time in your Tang family, Zhao Changhe and Tang Buqi ruined my situation. The power was not mine, and I had no intention of fighting. In the battle at Taihu yesterday, we were evenly matched, but Tang Buqi took advantage of it. Break our military formation and today…”
He pointed to the outside room where a group of Maitreya believers were surrounding him: “This is my fault.”
He then pointed to the location of the Prefect’s Mansion in the distance: “Your right-hand man, Li Si’an, who is even considered the source of the Secret Service’s money, is in the hands of my Goddess at the moment. Not only does his life depend on my words, but also his money. They should all belong to our holy religion.”
After saying this, he looked up and down Tang Wanzhuang’s beautiful body, showing a strange smile: “Is the Tang leader willing to just abandon his arms and leave? This Xiangyang, this Jiangnan, this reputation, this heart . Do you… still want it?”
Tang Wanzhuang knew that his words were nothing more than offensive.
Everyone is always on par. As long as one party is confused, he will lose. Maitreya was the one who was confused before, but this time it seems that it is his turn.
Tang Wanzhuang slowly drew out the Spring Water Blue Wave Sword and pointed it at Maitreya, with a calm expression: “Maybe you don’t know something.”
Maitreya smiled and said: “Please tell me, sir.”
“You and I have been evenly matched several times, and that’s because… I’m letting you.”
Maitreya’s expression changed slightly, and then he sneered: “Then try, will you cough to death first, or will you explode and kill me first?”
