Chapter 53 – What is your relationship with Tang chancellor?

This non-resident, who knows if he is sincerely praising Zhao Changhe or implying that he is a rebellious person that no one dares to accept. After the drinkers talked endlessly, Zhao Changhe feels that everyone's words are full of sarcasm, very annoying.

What's even more annoying is that he doesn't know how to answer this question.

What is his relationship with Tang Chancellor?

How would I know!

"I am the man she can never have in her life, does that count?"

Cui Yuanyong is a bit helpless: "Brother Zhao... Cui is not good at joking, can we talk seriously?"

"Seriously, I killed the person she wanted to save in front of her, and she personally issued a wanted order to catch me, which is well known. Since she wanted me wanted, can't I claim that she can never catch me in her life? Is it a joke, or is it true?"

Cui Yuanyong slowly said, "However... does she really want to catch you?"

Zhao Changhe said carelessly, "The drinkers just said that the wanted order was washed away by the rain and no one cared about it. It's normal for local officials to be lazy and not care about it. The local officials should go die."

"No... many wanted criminals cannot be caught because of their whereabouts, but she knows that you are in Beimang, but she sent a silly... um, an inexperienced little girl. I have never seen the Town Demon Division be so indifferent to wanted criminals."

Cui's little fool was sent by Tang Chancellor, indicating that Tang Chancellor already knew that Zhao Changhe was in Xiangshan.

Since she knew he was in Xiangshan, she didn't come to catch him personally, and she didn't send elite soldiers, but sent a little fool who had never been out of the rivers and lakes?

Zhao Changhe knew that this matter could not be explained, so he didn't continue to be funny and said, "Maybe she thought Brother Cui would take action?"

"Maybe... but you may not know one thing... I was also indifferent to this task and didn't want the little sister to do it, so I have been dragging it, waiting for her to break through the third level of the Xuan Guan. This time has been dragging on for one or two months, and there has been no reaction from Tang Chancellor's side. Is this the official attitude towards knowing where the wanted criminal is?"

Zhao Changhe: "...why did you drag it?"

"I dragged it because I thought you were not an ordinary bandit and I planned to observe you more. And Tang Chancellor's lack of response really made me feel strange." Cui Yuanyong said lightly, "She should not have no response! Because you are not an ordinary wanted criminal. The person you killed on the surface was just a local tycoon, worth only a hundred taels of silver... but we know that Luo Zhenwu is not just a local tycoon. The consequences of your knife are very serious."

Zhao Changhe remained silent.

Cui Yuanyong finally got to the point: "If he really is a prince, Tang Wanzhuang must come to catch you personally at the first time, and she can't just leave this matter to my little sister and be indifferent to me dragging it for so long. This at least proves one thing, Luo Zhenwu is not a prince at all, and his death is not important."

So Tang Chancellor's name is Tang Wanzhuang... hmm.

Zhao Changhe sighed, "You guessed long ago that Luo Zhenwu is not a prince, otherwise, why didn't you catch me first if you were observing me? The Cui family is a famous family in Daxia. How did it become like it's only Tang Chancellor's business?"

Cui Yuanyong showed a hint of a smile and said nothing.But the look in Zhao Changhe's eyes became more playful.

Zhao Changhe felt uncomfortable being looked at like that and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? If Luo Zhenwu is not a prince, then it's normal that he doesn't care about me being wanted. What's so strange about that?"

"But..." Cui Yuanyong said slowly, "She asked my little sister to catch you... Don't you know that, according to normal deduction, the ultimate result will be me and you fighting? Why does she seem like she doesn't want to catch you, but also wants to kill you?"

Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

Indeed...

When Tang Chancellor received the news about himself in Beimang, it must have been when he had just defeated Huang Vice Leader and climbed onto the Chaos Chronicles. At that time, he was intentionally leaked by Wang Dashan and others, attracting a group of idiots to challenge the Hidden Dragon List. It was unreasonable that the government had no news, so the local government must have reported to the Demon Suppression Department as soon as possible.

At that time, his strength was Xuan Guan First Layer, and Cui's little sister was Xuan Guan Second Layer... No, it had nothing to do with strength. Whether Tang Chancellor could guess the rapid development of his strength during this period was not important. What was important was that Tang Chancellor should be able to see that with Cui's little sister's idiocy, even if she entered an ordinary small mountain stronghold without any masters, she would most likely fail.

How could Cui Yuanyong not help when he saw his little sister in danger?

So Cui Yuanyong would definitely fight him, Zhao Changhe, and with Cui Yuanyong's strength, how could he respond? Wouldn't he be doomed to die?

But if Tang Chancellor really wanted to kill him, he could just send a trusted subordinate. Why beat around the bush like this?

Because of Cui's identity? If it was Cui's family who killed the prince, would it be beneficial to the situation? It would only be beneficial to the rebels. She, Tang Chancellor, was simply grinning from ear to ear.

Or was Tang Chancellor convinced that Cui Yuanyong would never casually kill someone with a suspicious identity like Zhao Changhe, and intentionally let Cui Yuanyong come into contact with Zhao Changhe to confirm something?

But why didn't she come to confirm it herself and use this uncontrollable method?

He couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Changhe scratched his head and said sincerely, "Brother Cui, I'm not pretending to be confused with you. I really don't understand this matter. Can you tell me about your trip to Beimang? Is your sister under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Department? It doesn't seem like it."

"No, I was going to Beimang first," Cui Yuanyong said, "I wanted to challenge Yue Hongling, so I paid attention to her whereabouts and found out that she had appeared in Beimang. My little sister knew I was going out, and she couldn't stay at home, so she begged me to take her out to play... I thought it would be good for her to travel a long distance at her age, so I took her out to travel, and our family agreed."

This was indeed normal, and Zhao Changhe didn't interrupt him, pouring him another cup of wine, knowing that there was more to come.

"Although my family is not passing through the capital on the way to Beimang, it's not too far off the track to turn to the capital. So we naturally went to the capital first to visit and pay our respects to Tang Chancellor... To be honest, if a woman could learn Tang Chancellor's style, it would be our expectation."Zhao Changhe remembered the night when the woman's sword light was like water, her weak body blocking the demonic cult, beautiful and calm yet dignified, almost able to imagine her coughing while working at her desk, dragging her sick body to support this decaying empire... Although this feeling may not be real, it was the first impression she gave.

Even if it was just a superficial demeanor, the youngest Miss Cui was really able to learn a thing or two. The Cui family might as well set off firecrackers to celebrate.

He couldn't help but laugh, "And then what?"

"As a result, the little sister didn't admire Chancellor Tang's style, but was interested in their demon suppression business, saying that catching thieves and bandits, upholding justice in the world, just thinking about it was fascinating. She even said that she wanted to join the demon suppression department."

Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud.

The demon suppression department's duties were somewhat similar to modern criminal investigation units, but their status was much higher because this was a world of martial arts and fantasy. The "demons" that this department "suppressed" were often people on the chaotic world rankings, and basically rebel leaders and leaders of other races. Chancellor Tang was responsible for dealing with these people, and her status was not just that of a head of a criminal investigation unit or a special forces captain, but a top minister of the court, a first-rank official.

A spoiled little girl who had been pampered at home said she wanted to face the most powerful criminal investigation unit in the entire empire, you could only be a mascot if you were allowed in. Do you really want to suppress all the demons in the world?

Seeing Zhao Changhe's expression, Cui Yuanyong knew what he was thinking and sighed helplessly, "Everyone knows this is not feasible, and to be honest, our family doesn't want to join this kind of department, which is contrary to our purpose... and Chancellor Tang may not want a Cui family member in the demon suppression department either. If she does come, her head will probably swell three times larger. So she said that to join the demon suppression department, she must first complete an entry task, and her ability to complete the task would determine whether or not she could be hired."

Zhao Changhe clicked his tongue, "She's so cunning, she didn't say that completing the task meant she could be hired."

"Right, I thought it was just a perfunctory statement, to find a task to let the little sister know that catching thieves and bandits is not so easy, and we were in agreement. I knew I wouldn't help her complete the task." Cui Yuanyong said, "When she was choosing a task, she chatted with me about my trip to Beilang, and at that moment, she suddenly fell silent and frowned in thought for a long time."

"So the task was set to catch me?"

"Chancellor Tang said that she had just received news that a wanted criminal was in Beilang, and it was you. That's how it happened. Otherwise, how would we know where you were?"

It seems that Chancellor Tang didn't think of this before, but after learning that Cui Yuanyong was going to Beilang, who knows what kind of deduction she made, unexpectedly turning the task that was originally intended to perfunctorily give to the Cui family's youngest into this.

Zhao Changhe's expression slowly became strange, and a thought that was out of place suddenly came to mind - if Chancellor Tang was really sure that Cui Yuanyong wouldn't kill indiscriminately, then this arrangement, why did it feel like a blind date?

No wonder Cui Yuanyong didn't ask about "your identity", but "what is your relationship with Chancellor Tang"!
