Dark Fairy

Chapter 156
A few days after waking up, Bailang received treatment from Dr. Zhang, and at the same time healed his injuries with his wood nourishing technique, and his recovery speed was pretty good.From the second day onwards, acquaintances came to visit him one after another.

Liu Xu, Zhang Xun, Zhang Wu, Wang Bing and Zhou Dong all came.Even Qianfang Treasurer Yu Ping came to visit with some nourishing medicinal materials.

Bailang also learned about the recent situation in the knife shop through the chats with these people who visited him.It can be described in one word, that is: danger is everywhere.

Bailang was not the only one who was attacked in the knife shop that night.The focus isn't even on him, but on Twine Alley.

It's just that just like Bailang himself didn't think he would be intercepted here, no one else in the knife hall thought that the other party would make great efforts to target a town hall.After all, according to Bai Lang's description, the last time he encountered interceptions on his way home were only sixth- and seventh-level warriors.Mostly just the other party's temptation.Although this concealed his own strength, it also lowered the sword hall's judgment on Bai Lang's safety.

You must know that the last time Bailang was attacked was not a sixth or seventh grade warrior, but a third or fourth grade strongman!That's why this time the opponent directly called in the Qi Refiner to intercept and kill him.

The Rope Lane is much better.In Liu Xu's words, even if the tip of the needle is against the wheat awn, no one pleases.

Bailang felt puzzled when he heard this at the time, the people who attacked him were all Qi refiners, and the one who attacked Hemp Rope Lane must also be Qi refiners.But Tang Yan hadn't healed from his serious injuries before, how many Qi refiners in the knife hall can withstand the opponent's attack?
However, these things followed Liu Xu's words, "Although it took a lot of money, the people hired still did not disappoint." Bailang's doubts were solved directly.

A helper hired at a price?

This reminded Bai Lang of the man in black who almost killed him.At that time, the man in black said the word "business".Now I think that the man in black should belong to the same category as the "helpers" Liu Xu mentioned.Casual cultivator?The kind of person who takes people's money to help them out of trouble?

Then all aspects of the knife shop were affected.Not only was the Qianfang where Bailang was located attacked again, but the East Market covered by Zhang Xun was also smashed.

More dead people died.In Liu Xu's words, it was a "heavy loss."

Looking at the gauze on the heads and arms of Zhang Wu and Wang Bing, and the 16 or so waist knives that the Qianfang has just replenished, and now only [-] people are left in a few days, you can understand the tragedy.Fortunately, the Qianfang has not been broken, and the gamblers in the place are still safe and sound.But business will be affected, that's for sure.But not at the worst.

"The other side also tried their best, but they didn't get what they wanted. Now the city lord's mansion has started to bubble up. It seems that they have gained some upper hand. Yesterday, Mr. Zhou Zhonghao and Mr. Zhou came to Hemp Rope Lane and had a long secret talk with Zuo Dao. I want to come this time The turmoil should be over soon." Liu Xu said at the time.

The whitecaps hit the ground today, and I was able to move slowly.Doctor Zhang, who had been greeted a long time ago, checked Bai Lang's condition while marveling, and while nodding, told Bai Lang that Zu Dao wanted to see him.

"Zu Dao wants to see me? What's the matter?"

"I don't know. If you can leave, you'd better go there today. The guards from Zuodao will check on you every day these days. I feel like they have something important to ask you."

When Bailang faced Zuo Dao, he had no room for bargaining.In the knife shop, it is about high and low.

"I'm going over here."

Doctor Zhang gave Bailang a pestle, put on a loose coat, and walked step by step towards Tang Yan's small courtyard at the entrance of the main hall.

On the way, he met Tang Yan's guards, and without a word, he waved to two attendants at the entrance of the main hall, let Bailang sit on a soft chair, and the two attendants carried Bailang forward.

"Is that bad?"

"Hehe, Bai Zhentang worked hard for the knife shop first, and now he is seriously injured and cannot move, so he deserves to enjoy this convenience. So Bai Zhentang should not mind."

The bodyguard's surname is Chen, and he is Tang Yan's close bodyguard, so he can be said to be his confidant.

When Bailang came to see Tang Yanshi before, he also met this guard Chen many times.But the other party has always been cold and unsmiling, it is said that it is the same for everyone.Didn't expect to be so enthusiastic today?

Bailang knew very well that Chen Shiwei's attitude represented Tang Yan's attitude.From this it can be seen that Tang Yan also has a big change in his opinion?Is it because he survived the ambush this time?Or something else?
It is naturally faster and easier for someone to carry it.

"Bai Zhentang, please!"

Chen Shiwei went in first to report, and then came out to lead Bailang in.This time it was not in Tang Yan's office, but in his study.I heard that this place is usually not used as a reception place.I don't know why I made an exception today.

Bai Lang nodded to Chen Shiwei and thanked him.Afterwards, he tidied up his toga a little bit before walking into the study with a stick.

After entering the door, Bailang saw that there was no one on the table on one side of the study, and on the opposite side of the table, there was a stone platform for meditation. Tang Yan was sitting on it in cotton and linen clothes, and the smoke was slowly lingering on his body, and he was gradually absorbing it.This seems to have just paid off.

"Subordinates refer to the seat knife!"

"Well, tea is served. Sit by yourself."

Chen Shiwei served Bailang a cup of hot tea, then withdrew and closed the door.Bailang was sitting on the soft chair beside the coffee table.

"I heard from Dr. Zhang that your survival this time is all due to luck. He also said that you are the toughest person he has ever seen. The injuries you suffered, someone else would have died. So it seems that you are indeed It's different, and it hides a lot of unknown survival methods, right?"

Bai Lang's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he suddenly felt that Tang Yan's words seemed not quite right.

But before Bailang could answer, Tang Yan collected the smoke from his body and returned it to his body, and then continued, "When I saw you for the first time in the woods outside Dongcheng, you were the one who reported to Li Jiang, the blood guard chief of the state capital, and his deputy chief. The matter of death. You were the first to find out. I doubted you at the time and used the method of sedation on you, and you had no problem dealing with it. Suspicion in the matter.

Looking at it now, the deaths of Li Jiang and the others may have something to do with you, right?It is even possible that the two of them appeared in the woods for you.Am I right? "

While talking, Tang Yan picked up a wooden box beside the stone platform and handed it to Bailang, motioning for Bailang to open it.

Bai Lang was in a nervous mood at this time, he thought that the matter that had been completely turned over would be brought up again by Tang Yan, and his words were firm, without even giving him a chance to defend himself.

After taking the box from Tang Yan, Bailang opened it with apprehension.Inside was a black dagger.

"This is?"

"A magic weapon called the Black Night Blade. It belongs to a well-known assassin in the black market. This thing should look familiar to you, right? It's the weapon of the man whose head you chopped off a few days ago."
