The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 240 Huangfu

Zhao Changhe looked at Master Dai meaningfully for a long time, wondering if this person was shouting like that because he was simply not thinking straight, or if there was another meaning. He hadn't thought about where to stay, so he could just stay in an inn. No one else knew that Zhao Changhe had come to the city, so what difference did it make where he stayed?

But Master Dai's shouting was known to the world... An inn, a place that was in the public eye, didn't seem to be very suitable.

However, if he really stayed at his house, wouldn't everything he did be under the eyes of the Dai family?

He couldn't stay at Tang Wanzhuang's house, the signal that would be released was a bit outrageous, and Tang Wanzhuang's face probably wouldn't stand it, and there was a high probability that she would kick him out...

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "Brother Dai, you are too polite, Zhao has his own place to live."

Master Dai asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, do you have any old friends in the capital? Uh, is it the Cui family? I feel that it is not appropriate for Brother Zhao to live there, and he might even be driven away."

"..." Both the Tang and Cui families might be driven away, and Zhao Changhe realized that he was so unwelcome.

But he really had a place to go: "Brother Dai, since you are familiar with the capital, do you know where the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion is?"

Mr. Dai was stunned: "Brother Zhao has an old relationship with Jingyuan Marquis?"

"No, but I have military intelligence to report." Zhao Changhe ignored him and asked the city gate guard directly: "I have military intelligence, can someone take me to the Marquis' Mansion?"

At this time, nothing was more important than military intelligence. As expected, the city gate guard immediately arranged for someone to take Zhao Changhe straight to Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Mr. Dai was stunned in place, and after a long while he said to his followers: "This Zhao Changhe, I have good intentions, why does he avoid me like a snake and scorpion? I originally wanted to invite him to Yihong Tower tonight..."

The follower sighed and said nothing.

When is this time? Do you think everyone is just thinking about playing like you rich young men... You shouted Zhao Changhe to enter the city in public, and he didn't think you were a ghost.

When troubled times come, I don't know if these young masters can adapt. It is said that they are latent dragons, but how many people can really come out of the abyss?

Zhao Changhe went all the way to the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion and shouted openly: "Zhao Changhe has an important matter from the Hu people to report. Who is in charge of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion?"

"Squeak~" The middle door opened wide, and a bearded man hurriedly came out: "I am Huangfu Shaozong. The military situation of the Hu people is greater than heaven. Brother Zhao, please come in."

Zhao Changhe was surprised: "You are really not afraid that I will come to harm you, so you come out like this."

Huangfu Shaozong laughed: "Brother Zhao wants to harm me, but it may not succeed."

Huangfu Shaozong, Qianlong eleven. Although the bearded man seems to be quite old, he is actually the same age as Zhao Changhe, twenty.

Langya Sword Contest said that all the Qianlong were invited, but it was far from the truth. Many people did not come because of "something", such as this Huangfu Shaozong.

It is said that the Qianlong List has a magical characteristic. It seems that being on the same list naturally adds a layer of relationship. It is natural to call each other brothers before meeting. Or it can be said that being on the same list naturally makes people look up to each other.

Zhao Changhe followed Huangfu Shaozong into the palace and asked casually, "Brother Huangfu, why didn't you go with your father? It's also for training."

"Because I am the only descendant of the Huangfu family, when conscription encounters a single-line family, only the father will be conscripted, not the son..."

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe thought to himself that the major families he had seen were all prosperous, and this single-line family of generals was really rare.

But Huangfu Shaozong continued: "Originally I had three brothers... They all died on the battlefield these years, leaving only me and my sister."

Zhao Changhe was stunned, stood up in awe, and bowed: "Sorry for the inconvenience."

"Nothing." As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the living room. Huangfu Shaozong waved his hand to have someone serve tea, and asked directly: "What is the military situation?"

"He Lei is the leader of a tribe on the grassland, right?"

"Yes, the War Lion Tribe. They have a share in the Battle of Yanmen at this time. He Lei's disciple Batu brought 10,000 people to serve under the Khan."

"He Lei was seriously injured... If he is killed, will this tribe be in chaos? Or will it be swallowed up by the Khan without any waves?"

"There will definitely be chaos... If he can be killed, whether there is chaos or not, it will eliminate a major problem. "

"Yes."

Huangfu Shaozong said: "The Demon Suppression Division reported that about 20 days ago, He Lei was pierced through the shoulder blade by Han Wubing in Jianhu City. In addition, the wound he was originally hit by Taoist Guichen has not healed yet, and he is now at his weakest. We have also sent people to search for him, but there is still no whereabouts. Could it be that Young Master Zhao has a clue?"

Zhao Changhe touched his chin and said to himself: "It seems that Wei Zicai dare not hide it too much... Or should we say that this is his credit?"

Huangfu Shaozong: "..."

Zhao Changhe said: "I do have a clue. At this time, He Lei is about to arrive at Beimang, where I used to stay. Going north, it will be difficult to find him in the mountains. "

Huangfu Shaozong was shocked: "Is the news accurate?"

"I dare not say it is 100% accurate, but I am 80% to 90% sure."

Zhao Changhe does know He Lei's whereabouts.

Because he and Miss Yihuoshe passed many branches of the Four Elephants Sect along the way, and saw with his own eyes that Yihuoshe gave orders to let the Four Elephants Sect members search for He Lei's whereabouts extensively.

He Lei tried to kill Yihuo She. Although his sister didn't say it, she was holding a grudge in her heart.

The Four Symbols Sect has a huge potential in the north. The issuance of the order of the Twenty-Eight Mansions is also a major matter. The huge underground machinery is fully operational. The characteristics of a wounded Hu man are too clear. It is not too difficult to find him. His whereabouts were transmitted to Yihuo She yesterday evening.

Saying 80% or 90% is just not enough. In fact, Zhao Changhe thinks it is 100%. He also has an inexplicable trust in the Four Symbols Sect. After all, Chi Chi is the mother's family.

It seems that Yihuoshe hesitated for a while between chasing He Lei and returning to Beijing, and finally chose to return to Beijing first. After all, if she stayed in Beijing for a day or two to deal with some things, she would still have time to chase him. If she went to chase him first, she would be away from Beijing for too long, which was extremely inappropriate.

It seems that Yihuoshe was really eager to return to Beijing, so much so that she didn't care about the clues of her enemies... I really don't know what her true identity is.

Seeing Zhao Changhe's firm words, Huangfu Shaozong didn't waste any words and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quickly inform Tang Shouzuo and let the Demon Suppression Division cooperate with our people to search for Beimang Zuojing. We must not let He Lei return to the grassland alive!"

Before he finished speaking, the guard outside hurriedly reported: "Yang Yaowu from the Demon Suppression Division came to visit and said that Tang Shouzuo asked Zhao Changhe to question him."

Zhao Changhe took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "If she asks me to go over, I will go over. If there is anything to say, let her come in person to talk."

Huangfu Shaozong twitched his mouth.

But Zhao Changhe looked at him expectantly: "Brother Huangfu..."

"Hmm?"

"For my military intelligence, I will stay at your place this time when I come to Beijing, okay?"

Huangfu Shaozong didn't really want to host Zhao Changhe here.

Others might not recognize the knife on Zhao Changhe's back, but his Huangfu family was very familiar with him. As a typical general family, they didn't want to be involved in such things at all. I'm a single-line successor now...

But Zhao Changhe openly proposed this, and it didn't seem to be very good to refuse. Huangfu Shaozong's mind was racing, and he was just about to find a reason to shirk it, when a hurried announcement came from outside: "The imperial concubine has arrived!"

Zhao Changhe was stunned.

Huangfu Shaozong greeted her with a happy face: "I haven't heard from my sister for so long, I was just worried that something might have gone wrong, and I came out of the palace. It turns out that blood is connected and the mind is connected."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

What about political stance? It turns out that the Huangfu family is also a foreign relative.

The so-called death of the prince... is a bit intriguing.

There was a continuous sound of greetings from outside: "Greetings to the Empress."

"May the Empress be well."

"Sister, how come you have time to leave the palace today?"

"What do you care when I leave the palace? What kind of shitty beard do you have? Shave it off, it's so ugly."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

But Huangfu Shaozong smiled and said: "This beard is masculine."

"Masculine is reflected by this thing? Why don't you carve a scar on your face?"

"What a coincidence, there is really a man with a scar on his face and a green beard visiting the house."

"Oh?" The female voice smiled: "Let me see, you have made some bad friends and messy things again."

"Oh, it's really not this time!"

As the voice spoke, a palace-dressed beauty walked into the hall leisurely.

Zhao Changhe half opened his mouth, damn it...

Miss Yihuoshe, no wonder you are always in a hurry to return to Beijing. If you disappear for a little longer, the imperial city will be blown up, right? No wonder you only dare to call General Huangfu Marquis Jingyuan, he is your biological father.

Uh, no, why are you the Imperial Concubine?

If the technique of observing women inherited from the Maitreya School of Paradise is fine, then you are obviously a virgin, right?

The Imperial Concubine looked at Zhao Changhe with a smile, and said after a while: "Who is this person? He is so rude sitting on the chair, and he said he is not a bad friend? Someone, kick him out!"

Zhao Changhe had not yet reacted to what attitude he should use to speak, and a female voice came from outside the door again: "Since the Imperial Concubine does not welcome you, you should go to the Demon Suppression Division with me. What are you doing here?"

As the voice was spoken, Tang Wanzhuang floated in.

The Imperial Concubine yawned and said lazily: "Who said I don't welcome you? I changed my mind, Shaozong, treat this young man well? Otherwise, others will say that our Huangfu family has no manners."

Zhao Changhe's jaw gradually dislocated.
