When Zhao Zongyang got off the Xantian Sect and returned to Yanbei City, he immediately felt that the entire atmosphere had undergone subtle changes. Especially when returning to the Hou Mansion, you can clearly feel the tension in the air.
"Master Hou, you are finally back, so we can wait easier." Zhao Xun came forward out of breath, his face full of anxiety. .
"What happened, are you so anxious?" Zhao Zongyang said calmly: "Is it possible that someone else dared to knock on the door while I was away?"
"That's not so bad" Zhao Xun muttered, and then followed up: "But it's almost the same."
Zhao Zongyang dismissed this. It is true that Yanbei City is turbulent now, but everything is still in the calculation of the Marquis. How big a wave can it make if he has not been in the city for a day?
"Little pretty boy uh, no, brother Zong Yang" As soon as Zhao Zongyang stepped into the main hall, he was immediately deeply shocked by this title.
Ran Dongye seemed to have returned to her lolita state now. As soon as she saw Zhao Zongyang, she immediately drove away the servants of the Hou Mansion, then took off her purple veil and hugged Zhao Zongyang's arm.
She is now determined to have a fight with Lin Xinyu.
Zhao Zongyang can be considered a person who has seen strong winds and waves, but he was still frightened by Ran Dongye's performance. He quickly pushed her away and muttered: "Don't stain the innocence of Mr. Hou."
"What innocence? You spread those rumors intentionally. Do you think I don't know about it?" Ran Dongye smiled slyly, which shocked Zhao Zongyang: This is not a loli state. It's a lolita disguised as a witch.
A deep question suddenly came to mind: Why does the witch disguise herself as a loli? Could it be to get closer to Mr. Hou more naturally
The more Zhao Zongyang thought about it, the more frightened he became: when he was in Xuantian Sect, Ran Dongye provoked Lin Xinyu to compete, but he didn't take it seriously at all. But now it seems that this witch is not serious, right?
"Brother Zongyang, do you know that you are going to be in trouble?" Ran Dongye didn't know if he didn't realize that Zhao Zongyang had noticed that she was pretending, or if he already knew but pretended not to know. Continue to pretend, lest you completely lose your reserve and self-esteem. Her current expression and tone are still that of a loli. Perhaps only in this way could she hold the pretty boy's arm more naturally and show the intimacy that she couldn't usually show.
Zhao Zongyang retreated subconsciously: Ran Dongye was just pretending, he couldn't follow the pole. Xinyu had unconditional trust in herself, and he couldn't let her down by doing one thing to her face and another behind her back.
¡°But, it¡¯s not good to hurt Ran Dongye too directly. After all, this rumor spread by himself Sigh. What a hassle. The best way at the moment is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances and let time fade away.
A woman with this kind of personality should just take a gamble and not be entangled all the time. The charm of the Marquis. Is it really invincible? Not so much
"What kind of disaster?" In order to make the situation less embarrassing, Zhao Zongyang followed her words and asked.
"As for Dazhou, many people have come, and most of them are here with the goal of destroying you. The three major families in Yanbei are trying to take this opportunity to get rid of you. The two sides are close to each other, and they are afraid that they will start a fight. Cooperated." Ran Dongye's eyes suddenly became complicated: "Logically speaking, for the benefit of Dazhou, I should hope that you will be destroyed by them, but I am worried about you in my heart, and I can't lie to myself."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation can they have?" Zhao Zongyang said disapprovingly: "People like Dazhou came all the way here, it's impossible just for me. Although I am very good, I don't have such a big reputation. The three major If the family doesn¡¯t provide some benefits, who will cooperate with them?¡±
"You are really right. The three major families are really bleeding this time." Ran Dongye looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "They are ready to give up the iron ore in the west of the city."
Zhao Zongyang was shocked when he heard this: The three major families are too crazy! Iron ore is a country's most important strategic material, and it is much more precious than gold mines. In order to deal with themselves, they even risked the disapproval of the world and handed over the iron ore to Kaiyuan's biggest enemy. They were really courageous!
"They have such courage? Aren't they afraid of being poked in the spine and scolded by all the Kaiyuan people?"
"Do you think they are so stupid? Are you sending them away blatantly?" Ran Dongye said: "They have forced many people to work in the mines. Starting tonight, they will start working overnight, and then secretly send all the ore out."
"Send it out secretly? How could it be so easy?" Zhao Zongyang said disapprovingly: "Do they think that everyone in the world is blind and deaf? Those who wereCan the people who were conscripted by force keep their secrets? "
"No, so they will kill all these people, and then continue to recruit new people, and then continue to kill."
"With so many people dead, how can they still cover it up?"
"Cover up? They have never thought about covering up. When the disappearance of the grassroots reaches a certain number and makes people panic, they will take the initiative to reveal the news and make it public. At that time, the people of Dazhou will stand up and confess, saying that it is Marquis Shun, you colluded with Da Zhou and did a good deed."
Damn it, what kind of rhythm is this? How could such a stupid person pour dirty water on the Marquis?
"Isn't this too exaggerated? Who among the people in Yanbei still doesn't know what their three major families are? Who can believe what they say? If you want to frame me with empty words, you are wrong!"
"If it is the testimony of the three major families, no one will believe it. But if the news is revealed by Da Zhou, it will be difficult to say. You know, what you Kaiyuan people like most is to catch wind and shadow." Ran Dongye suddenly smiled sweetly. , said with some pride: "What's more, they will claim that you are doing this kind of traitorous thing for me and want to be the prince's consort for Zhou. It's well-founded and reasonable. Do you think anyone will believe it?" Hehe, who asked you to spread rumors? Now let others catch you by your pigtails."
Zhao Zongyang slapped the table angrily: "What a bastard. It's a shame they could even think of such a thing that is worse than a beast!"
Ran Dongye said: "You can never imagine what kind of evil things the powerful people in Kaiyuan can do for the sake of power!"
To be honest, Zhao Zongyang has always had a relatively deep understanding of the so-called dignitaries of Kaiyuan, and has never been afraid to speculate on the dignitaries of Kaiyuan with the greatest malice. Although he always believed that these people had no bottom line, he still couldn't imagine that they could do such a natural thing that was inferior to pigs and dogs.
Zhao Zongyang is really a little out of anger. There is no need to elaborate on the seriousness of this matter. If they really succeed, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will the reputation of the Marquis be seriously affected, but more importantly, the entire Yanbei will be completely alienated. If Dazhou makes any more messy things, Yanbei will definitely fall into pieces.
With the virtues of the three major families, it is completely expected that they will surrender to the enemy and become the watchdog of the Zhou Dynasty With the salary of Kaiyuan, they will suck the blood and sweat of Kaiyuan's grassroots, but they will bow to Kaiyuan's biggest enemy. To reach this level as a human being, I have to say it is a wonderful thing!
But what makes people laugh or cry is that in Kaiyuan Kingdom, there are not just one or two such weirdos. Even the current emperor of Kaiyuan is like this.
"Want to frame the Marquis? It's not that easy!" Zhao Zongyang said seriously: "I originally just wanted revenge and had no unnecessary ambitions, but now, I have changed my mind."
"Oh? Lord Zongyang, do you really want to use your own strength to save the world?" Ran Dongye's tone was strange and unpredictable. Is she sarcastic or encouraging?
"I don't know if we can turn the tide. I only know that if Kaiyuan doesn't change and maintains its current state, it will take at least twenty years" Zhao Zongyang said firmly: "Twenty years later, Kaiyuan will still be the same. Glitz, drunkenness and dreams. But the land under our feet no longer belongs to the Kaiyuan people."
This is an experience that Zhao Zongyang has witnessed with his own eyes in his nine previous lives. Twenty years later, Kaiyuan still looks so wealthy, and Zhao Tianyun is still so carefree, but only people in the top circles know that Kaiyuan's imperial power has ceased to exist in name only, and everything depends on the eyes of Zhou and Tianluo.
There is almost no difference from a client state
"Do you think that you can change the current situation by yourself?" Ran Dongye asked quietly.
"I don't know if it can be changed, but I understand that if I don't do it, no one will ever think about changing it." Zhao Zongyang sighed and said slowly: "If I don't have the last name Zhao, I can let go of many things. To be honest, as long as I live a good life, how much does the life of the Kaiyuan people have to do with me? However, my surname is Zhao. The Kaiyuan Kingdom is the country of my grandfather and me. Father, what I fought back with my life with one sword and one sword is the inheritance of my ancestors. I can't just watch this inheritance fall into the hands of that scumbag Zhao Tianyun!"
Ran Dongye suddenly wanted to praise Zhao Zongyang. The women of Dazhou have been influenced by heroism since they were young. They are not so polite and coquettish. What they admire most is this kind of man with lofty ideals. However, when he thinks that his opponent is himself, Our motherland can¡¯t help but feel a little sad again.
"It would be great if you were not from Kaiyuan!"
"I am very proud that I am a Kaiyuan person, just like you are a greatZhou felt honored. Although I hate Dazhou, I respect Dazhou people. It is no accident that Dazhou can develop into what it is now from a wilderness land. "Zhao Zongyang said slowly: "It is only when I have such a powerful enemy that my efforts are meaningful! "
"Then how hard are you going to work?"
"Take advantage of tonight to go to the mine and help the three major families with their opening ceremony!"
