Chapter 38 One day's plan
Chapter 38 One day plan
September [-]th, Yin hour three quarters.
Not only the people in Qingcheng, but also the faces of people in the Tang Sect also changed.Shen Yuqing is the only son of the head of Qingcheng. The Tang clan kills the prince of Qingcheng, which will trigger a storm in the world.No, storm is not enough to describe it. This will be the biggest war in the martial arts world after the Shaosong War.No matter how weak and fearful Shen Yongci was, he could not just sit back and watch his son being killed without reacting.
Everyone looked at Shen Yuqing.
A few years ago, when Shen Yuqing first started to take charge of Qingcheng's political affairs, people said that he was an embroidered pillow, good-looking but as weak as his father.Many people in the Tang Sect have met him, and just like the rumors, he is a gentle and polite young man with no temper at all.In this peaceful age, at least on the surface, how often have you seen such a battle?Those who are timid may have been frightened to death, but they are already calm and stable if they can find the steps.
However, the rumors from the outside world did not clearly understand the young master of Qingcheng.Shen Yuqing's expression remained unchanged, he drew his sword and raised it high, shouting: "Uncle Bai, protect Mr. Tang!" After giving the order, Bai Dayuan shouted loudly, drew his sword, and shouted: "Protect Mr. Tang!"
The Qingcheng disciples drew their weapons one after another and formed two square formations, with ten people in each formation, forming two fan shapes to guard outside Tang Jue's house, showing that they were well-trained.
Tang Jueyan also said: "Five Poison Sect, protect me!"
The Five Poison Sect disciples also drew their weapons one after another. They were smaller in number, but they stood at the front, right in the middle of the two fans in Qingcheng.The Five Poison Sect is not a sect, and there are many female disciples among them. Seeing them blocking the front, everyone in Qingcheng couldn't help but admire them, thinking: "If we really want to fight, even if the situation is dangerous, we can't lose." These girls!”
Although Yan Qingfeng also held a sword in his hand, he was thinking about how to escape if a war really started.He retreated to Tang Jueyan, seemingly protecting Tang Jueyan, but in fact he thought: "I am the legitimate son of Huashan. As long as I don't hinder them, they will not harm me. If Jueyan wants to join the war, I will take advantage of the chaos." She'll be fine after she's knocked unconscious and exits the battle circle."
Bai Dayuan glanced around. There were many enemies but we were few. If we really wanted to fight, we would definitely capture the thief and the king.But Tang Gu had been famous in the martial arts for a long time, and he thought he might not be able to cope with this old man.
Shen Yuqing said: "Master Qi, if we really want to hurt the old man, if you use weapons, can you not push the old man out as a hostage? You are so reckless and hurt the harmony between the two families. Who will benefit?"
Tang Gu shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Shen Yuqing said: "If you are forced to go to Liangshan, why don't you dare?"
This was already a gentle threat, and the implication was that he wanted to take Tang Jue as a hostage.The situation was at a stalemate, and everyone looked at Tang Gu again.Everyone knows that the leader of the Tang Sect Guards is the most stubborn. No one can stop what he wants to do except Tang Jue.
Just listen to Tang Gu say coldly: "If you dare, I will let you die without a body! Arrest you!"
Although the yard outside Tang Jue's house was large, it seemed crowded with thousands of people crowded at this time.Tang Gu gave an order, and 24 guards, six on each side and four levels at the front and back, square and orderly, pressed forward unhurriedly.
Tang Jue, who was standing at the door, took a step forward and whispered: "Old Qi, do you also want to kill me?"
Tang Jue and Tang Gu's feelings were extraordinary. When Tang Gu saw him coming forward, he said in a deep voice: "I am saving you."
Tang Jue said: "If Mr. Shen hadn't sent his little sister to ambush here first, you would have come a step too late. There are really people in the Tang Sect who want to harm me. They say it is hard to guard against thieves day and night, so it is better to keep me here Be safe here.”
Tang Gu waved and said, "Second brother, come here and talk."
Just as Tang Jue was about to approach, Tang Jueyan stepped forward to stop him and said, "Grandpa, it's dangerous over there. If you have anything to say, let Qi Ye come in and say it. Could it be that Qi Ye is afraid?" She then looked at Tang Gu.
Tang Gu's face was livid: "Second girl, I'm talking to your grandpa, why are you interrupting?"
"Seventh Uncle." Tang Jueyan hooked Tang Jue's arm, as if intimately, and said, "This huge Tang Sect is all our own people, so we have to be careful."
Tang Gu was furious, and suddenly heard a soft voice saying: "Seventh Uncle, Grandpa wants to stay here, just listen to him, he is fine."
Everyone looked around and saw that the eldest lady Tang Jingcai came over with her bodyguard Tang Ying.Not only her, but Tang Yi and Tang Liu also came.Tang Jingcai stepped forward and took Tang Gu's arm, and said warmly: "Seventh Uncle, now is not the time to lose your temper. Please withdraw your troops first, speak slowly, and consider the long term."
Tang Gu said: "You even spoke for them? Where is your father? He is in charge, where did he go?"
Just as he was talking, Tang Jinyang arrived surrounded by a group of guards and asked in a panic: "What happened? Dad?" He looked into the courtyard and saw Tang Jue surrounded by people from Qingcheng and Wudu Sect, and said in surprise , "What are you doing? Are you kidnapping my father? Let him go quickly!"
Tang Gu said: "Your father has been kidnapped, what will you do?"
Shen Yuqing said: "I'm not kidnapping, just protecting."
Tang Jinyang said: "What kind of protection? Don't we have no one to protect us in the Tang Sect? Get out, everyone!"
Tang Jingcai first stopped Tang Jinyang and said, "Dad, calm down." Then he turned to Tang Gu and said, "I'm not talking for anyone, I'm just talking about the matter. We're all family members. There's nothing we can't say. My second sister is not harmful. The reason for the Grandpa is to protect the Grandpa. Seventh Uncle, if there is anything we need to go back and discuss slowly, in this Tang family compound, who is afraid of running away? "
Tang Jinyang shouted: "Dad, don't be afraid! The child will protect you!"
Tang Jue smiled and said, "With your protection, I would have been reincarnated as your son! Come on, step aside!" He then said to Tang Gu, "Old Qi, you go back, I am very safe. Something is really going to happen. , are you afraid that no one will pay for my life?"
Tang Gu was silent for a long time, and Tang Jingcai couldn't help but give advice. Then he glanced at Shen Yuqing and said in a deep voice: "If something happens to the old man, and more than 200 of you can leave the Tang Sect, my surname will not be Tang!"
Shen Yuqing said: "There is one more thing I would like to ask Master Qi to accommodate."
Tang Gu said: "Don't you know that I don't understand the word 'accommodation' the most?"
Tang Jingcai hurriedly comforted him and said, "Seventh uncle, why don't you listen?"
Shen Yuqing said: "Qingcheng Guest Minister Zhu Menshang, Doctor Zhu, is still in prison. Please ask the Seventh Master to return him to Qingcheng."
Although she said the word "please", Shen Yuqing's words were very firm.Although he knew that Tang Gu had a tough temperament, he could only fight head-on to save Zhu Menshang.
Tang Jinyang said hurriedly: "I'm just a doctor. If it's important, just pay him back! Don't hurt my father!" He still couldn't figure out the situation, so he turned to Tang Yi and said, "Hurry and let him go!"
Tang Yi sneered and said, "I haven't known whether I am dead or alive since I was sentenced yesterday."
Tang Jueyan chuckled and said, "I just saw him before, and he wasn't dead at that time."
Shen Yu heard that she had met Zhu Menshang, and her heart suddenly sank. Zhu Menshang was a witness who accused Tang Jueyan, and he was afraid that he would have been silenced long ago.Tang Yi's face changed drastically and he said angrily: "Who allowed you to go to prison? You...you..." He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Tang Jueyan said: "I am the deputy head of the execution hall, so I can't interrogate prisoners? He was still alive when I left. I don't know what he is now."
Tang Jinyang panicked: "If he is still alive, I will bring him here. If he dies, you can't ask my father to pay with your life!"
Shen Yuqing just smiled politely but didn't reply. He knew who had the final say at this time.Tang Gu stretched out his finger, pointed to the northwest corner and said, "Young girl, you know where the prison is. If you want to send someone to rob the prisoner, just go there. Whether you can bring him out or not depends on your ability in Qingcheng."
Shen Yuqing knew that Tang Gu was unwilling to release him, and was still worried about Zhu Menshang's life and death, so she said, "If Dr. Zhu is well, please send a message so that I can feel at ease."
Tang Jinyang said hurriedly: "Of course!"
Tang Gu suddenly shouted: "The guards obey the order!"
The 24 Guardsmen present immediately stood upright, and even the rebels who were tied to the ground could not help but straighten their backs.
Tang Gu ordered: "Stay outside and protect the old man!"
Tang Jueyan suddenly said: "Seventh uncle, it's better to take your people away and keep them here. Who knows how many groups of traitors there are?" She then pointed to the rebels on the ground and said, "Take them back and interrogate them carefully. , let’s see who wants to harm grandma and grandpa.”
Tang Gu didn't want to pay attention to it, but Tang Jingcai also advised him: "Seventh Uncle, don't be careless." Tang Gu thought for a while and said: "Ding Yi, take these traitors to the execution hall! The rest of them evacuated outside. I order you not to enter!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Na Ding Yi was the captain of Team Ding [-] and was a master of using short swords. After listening to the order, he led his men forward to take the assassin away.When Tang Shaomao and Tang Liu saw this situation, they each had their own plans. Tang Jinyang told Tang Jueyan, "Be careful about Grandpa's safety." Tang Jueyan ignored it and everyone dispersed.
Tang Jingcai walked towards Tang Jueyan and called "Second sister".Tang Jueyan asked: "Sister, is there something wrong?"
Tang Jingcai shook his head and said, "If you make things bigger and bigger, I'm afraid it won't be easy to clean up."
Tang Jueyan smiled and said: "The messy situation can be dealt with, sister, don't worry."
Tang Jingcai sighed and said, "Be careful." After that, he followed everyone and left.
Shen Yuqing walked towards Tang Jueyan, raised her hands and asked, "Second Miss has seen Doctor Zhu, why didn't you tell her just now? Is he okay?"
Tang Jueyan said: "You asked me if he was dead, and I said I didn't know. He was not dead when I left. Now, let's wait for the news."
Shen Yuqing asked again: "Can the Second Miss try to rescue him?"
Tang Jueyan said: "Uncle Yi is on guard. There are more than a dozen important prisoners in the prison. It's no longer possible for me to save people." She saw Shen Yuqing staring at her with firm eyes, as if he was not satisfied with the answer. .
Seeing that they were a little stiff, Xie Gubai stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, we are in the same boat now. We need to cooperate and explain Dr. Zhu's affairs clearly so as to avoid any worries."
Tang Jueyan then said: "He can't stand the punishment, so he wants me to give him a killing pill. I will stuff it into the gap between his broken teeth. If he can't hold on, he can kill himself with just a flick of his tongue."
Shen Yuqing's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "You are harming him!"
Tang Jueyan said: "If you really want to harm him, you don't have to go around in circles. Mr. Shen has never been punished, so he doesn't know how difficult it is."
Shen Yu listened to what she said, knowing that Zhu Menshang must have suffered a lot, and was even more worried. Also knowing that Zhu Menshang was not dead, she felt a little relieved, so she asked, "What are the second young ladies' plans next?"
Tang Jueyan said: "My grandpa is in my hands, and my grandma will always wake up. If she survives for a day or two, those people won't be able to play tricks."
Suddenly, Tang Jue, who was standing at the door, shouted: "I've been working hard for most of the night. Second girl, come over and help Grandpa Grandpa rub his back!"
Tang Jueyan chuckled and said, "Here we come!" After speaking, she glanced at Shen Yuqing and said, "You are coming too."
Shen Yuqing nodded and followed in.
In the room, Tang Jueyan was sitting on the side of the bed, beating Tang Jue's back while he was lying on the bed.Tang Jue said: "You have an idea. You even sent people to arrest me, and you are not afraid of breaking my old bones apart."
Obviously Tang Jue had guessed that the person on the night list was sent by Tang Jueyan, but he didn't feel dissatisfied, and his tone was full of praise. The Shen Yuqing brother and sister on the side looked at each other, only thinking that the education of Tang Clan was really different. .He then heard Tang Jueyan laugh and say, "They will deduct money if they hurt you."
Tang Jue said again: "These dead soldiers are not cheap. Where did you get so many private houses?"
Tang Jueyan said: "My grandpa guessed and he knew it well. If my grandpa guessed wrong, I can't correct him."
Shen Yuqing thought to herself that although she was close to Mrs. Tang, she still did not reveal her true feelings in front of him. It was difficult to say whether the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was good or bad.
Tang Jue smiled and said, "You are so much like your mother-in-law. You don't say anything clearly about your plans. That's all. You have to thank them today."
Tang Jueyan said, "I don't need Grandpa's instructions, I've already thanked you." Then she asked, "How did they come?"
Tang Jue said: "The handsome young man next to me, his surname seems to be Xie, came to me with this girl, saying that he was afraid that I would be in danger. This girl is hiding under the bed, her kung fu is very good, I don't think you can beat her. "
Tang Jueyan said: "I'm not the seventh uncle, so I don't need to fight every day."
Tang Jue chuckled and said, "That's right. Lao Qi has a bad temper. Alas..." He sighed, then changed the topic and asked, "Are you not interested in Grandma's letter? Don't you want to read it?"
Tang Jueyan said: "What's there to see?"
Tang Jue said: "The name above may not be yours, don't be too confident."
Tang Jueyan said: "The old lady has her own ideas. At most she will just be treated like a little girl being teased again."
Tang Jue murmured: "The old woman loves to tease people..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, as if he had fallen asleep.
Tang Jueyan covered Tang Jue with a quilt and signaled everyone to leave the room.The group of people arrived in another room, and Tang Jueyan said to Shen Yuqing: "Looking at how polite you are, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Without your help today, there are still variables."
Shen Yuqing said: "It's Mr. Xie's suggestion."
Tang Jueyan looked at Xie Gubai, seemingly very interested, and asked, "Then who should I talk to? You or him?"
Xie Gubai smiled and said, "It's us. Mr. Shen also needs to know if there is any plan."
Xiao Baben, who was on the side, just watched quietly, and suddenly asked: "Does the second lady and the eldest lady not have a good relationship? The eldest lady helped persuade the seventh master today, but the second lady is very cold towards her?"
Tang Jueyan said lightly: "When I was 12 years old, I secretly wore her clothes. After that day, she changed all her clothes. Guess what she was thinking?"
Tang Jingcai once told this story to everyone. It was the same story, but different people had completely different feelings about it.Shen Weichen said: "Maybe the eldest lady knows that she is not as good as you, so she lets you go."
Tang Jueyan was noncommittal: "Maybe, who knows."
Everyone had their own thoughts, and they all felt that Tang Jueyan was trying to save others by herself and had misunderstood Tang Jingcai.
In short, Zhu Menshang is not dead yet. As long as he stays here for a few days, everything will be settled when Mrs. Lengmian wakes up.
Just wait for a few days...
Tang Jueyan said calmly: "Let's talk about business."

September [-], Yin Zheng
Tang Yi hurried back to the prison and arrived at the door. Several guards hurriedly came forward to report: "Master, the second lady came just now." Tang Yi said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed in?"
The guard said helplessly: "That's the second young lady. Anyone who stopped her was beaten." Tang Yi hurriedly opened the door and entered the cell. He saw several guards passed out at the cell door, the cage had been opened, and Zhu Menshang was lying on the ground, dead. Faint or asleep.He stepped forward, kicked Zhu Menshang, and shouted: "Get up!" Zhu Menshang moved slightly. Tang Yi was very surprised and thought, why didn't the second girl kill him?He kicked a few more times and cursed, "Get up!"
Zhu Menshang screamed a few times, turned his back to Tang Yi, and did not get up.Tang Yi scolded: "Are you pretending to be dead!" Just as he was about to send someone to hang him up, he suddenly heard someone coming to tell him that the captured rebels, thirteen in total, had been escorted.Tang Yidao: "Drag them all to the standing cage and see how long they can last!"
The guard replied: "There are only six standing cages, which is not enough."
Tang Yi scolded: "You have to take turns to stand, why do you need someone to teach you? Damn, you're stupid!"
The guard asked again: "There are thirteen people, six out of six and one left. What should we do?"
Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just right if you kill one of them?"
The guard said: "I know, I can kill anyone, right?"
Tang Yi said angrily: "Can't you hear that this is an irony? What a pig!" He glanced at Zhu Menshang, thought for a while, and said, "I will interrogate the prisoner, you keep an eye on him!"
The guard asked again: "Are you going to arrest him and put him in the station cage?"
Tang Yi scolded: "Where are there so many cages? Let's interrogate those traitors!"

While escorting Tang Jueyan back to his room, Yan Qingfeng pondered that if Tang Shaomao's plan failed, he would have to work harder to get this woman.He wasn't sure what to do next, but he knew that if he survived these few days, Mrs. Lengmian would have no hope of wanting this woman, whether she was dead or alive.
He wanted to ask what Tang Jueyan had discussed with Shen Yuqing in the room just now, but he didn't ask because he knew that even if Tang Jueyan told him, it wouldn't be the whole story, so he simply didn't ask. The best way to show your ignorance.
"Meng Dujiang is dead." Tang Jueyan suddenly said, "Who saw through my plan?"
"Maybe he's not dead, but just betrayed." Yan Qingfeng said, "He knew he couldn't get you, so betraying you would be a good idea." "Oh? Why?" Tang Jueyan asked.
"There used to be a businessman who liked to collect antique calligraphy and paintings. Once he went to Nanjing for business and passed an antique shop and saw an authentic work by Wang Ximeng." Yan Qingfeng changed the subject and told the story, "He He was very rich, but not rich enough. The painting was too expensive, so he used the excuse of buying a painting and asked the store to take out the painting for appreciation. When the store wasn't paying attention, he grabbed a few silverfish in his hand and stuffed them into the scroll. Here, we made an appointment to pick up the painting in a month."
"When he came back a month later, the beetles had eaten away the painting, so he had to sell it at a cheap price." Tang Jueyan said, "What a good idea."
"When you really want something you can't afford, you can only make it worthless." Yan Qingfeng said, "You are too expensive and no one can afford it."
"Then will you betray me?" Tang Jueyan asked, "In order to get me."
"I can do it too," Yan Qingfeng said, "Everyone who wants to get you will betray you."
"If you had his courage, I would appreciate you more." Tang Jueyan asked, "When will you betray me?"
"I can afford the price. I am the legitimate son of the Yan family in Huashan. Who else can pay a higher price than me? Is Shen Yuqing?"
Tang Jueyan was noncommittal.
"Why didn't you kill Zhu Menshang?" Yan Qingfeng stopped, "Have you long wanted to join forces with Qingcheng?"
Tang Jueyan also stopped and looked back at Yan Qingfeng.
"I gave him a killing pill."
"That's not your style."
"I changed my mind." Tang Jueyan said, "Shen Yuqing will not let me let go if he dies."
Yan Qingfeng suddenly realized that he disliked Shen Yuqing, even to the point of hatred.If a man who is better than him in every aspect appears in front of the woman he wants, he will definitely be disgusting.
Yan Qingfeng knew that this was jealousy.
They returned to Tang Jueyan's room.
"Go back." Tang Jueyan raised her eyebrows slightly and unconsciously stretched out her hand to wipe it on her eyebrows. "If anything happens, I will send someone to notify you."
Yan Qingfeng suddenly remembered something and said, "Go in. It's almost dawn. I'll wait until dawn before leaving."
"It's up to you." Tang Jueyan opened the door and went in, but didn't latch it. Yan Qingfeng knew that this was her habit.She didn't care that Yan Qingfeng and Meng Dujiang were peeping outside the door because they didn't dare.
Yan Qingfeng stood outside the door, waiting quietly for something to happen.Maybe it won't happen, anyway, he is waiting.

September [-]th, Yin Zheng.
Tang Jingcai has been following Tang Gu since he left Tang Jue's room.Tang Ying followed the two of them, keeping a distance of seven or eight feet, as if he didn't want to disturb their conversation.
Tang Gu knew that Tang Jingcai had something to say and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tang Jingcai said, "I won't tell you until my seventh uncle loses his temper."
Tang Gu said: "If I want to lose my temper, I will lose my temper. Your grandpa can't stop me. What the hell are you doing, little girl? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
His tone was stern, even to his grandniece.Tang Jingcai pursed his lips and said, "You lost your temper before you even said anything. How do you say that?"
When Tang Gu saw her acting coquettishly, he couldn't lose his temper and said, "Just tell me, I'll try my best not to lose my temper."
"The second girl will not harm the grandpa. Everyone guesses that she is the one appointed by the grandma. If the grandpa dies earlier than the grandma, she will have no hope. Seventh uncle, let me tell you the truth. You are biased against the second girl. If you believe that she will It was because of the murder of the grandma that the grandpa was assassinated."
Tang Gu snorted coldly, his expression serious.Indeed, he believed Tang Yi's advice and was worried that Tang Jueyan would assassinate Madam Lengmian, so he left most of the guards at Madam Lengmian's residence so that the assassin could easily break into Tang Jueyan's residence.As for the Night List Killer's attack, he didn't see it and no one told him about it. Although he was unhappy at the moment, he couldn't refute it.
Tang Jingcai said: "I think as long as the grandma is fine, the affairs in charge can be discussed again. Now it is obvious that there is a traitor in the door. First, he plotted against the grandma and then assassinated the grandpa. This is the top priority, and the second girl's trouble is secondary. There are things to do. Prioritize, seventh uncle, don't keep targeting the second girl."
Tang Gu said: "It's your uncles who want to drive away the second girl, not me. You go talk to them."
Tang Jingcai said: "Don't you think that there is a traitor who wants to harm the second girl to cause such a big trouble?"
Tang Gu frowned and said, "Do you have any clues?" He knew that his niece was smart and careful, so she must have some ideas when she suddenly said this.
"It's just an idea, I don't know if it's right or not." Tang Jingcai whispered a name in Tang Gu's ear.Tang Gu was surprised and said: "You said your Uncle Fei?"
Tang Jingcai said: "I had doubts about others, but that person can buy two teams of guards, which is a big expense. Who else can buy the entire team of guards besides him?"
Tang Gu said: "He is just the accountant, he has no role in taking charge, so why should he cause such a big disaster?"
Tang Jingcai said: "I didn't doubt him at first, but I heard that the second girl went to see him yesterday."
Tang Gu said: "You mean the second girl conspired with him?"
Tang Jingcai shook his head and said: "Second girl and grandma have a good relationship, so there is no need. Seventh uncle, think about it, who in the entire Tang family doesn't know that my uncle doesn't like second girl? Grandma is injured, who should second girl ask for help? Yi Uncles Liu, Shaomao, and Uncle Seven, none of you will help her, so Uncle Fei will be the only one left? I guess the second girl came to him because she originally just wanted his support, but he became interested and wanted to Pushing the second girl to take advantage of the opportunity, he also has the merit of supporting her."
Tang Gu shook his head and said, "I don't believe he has such a plan."
Tang Jingcai said again: "Yesterday at the ancestor worship ceremony, who among the uncles helped the second girl speak? Wasn't it Uncle Fei?"
Tang Gu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, and asked again: "Do you think the second girl knows?"
Tang Jingcai said: "Maybe I didn't know it at first, but I can guess it, and the second girl should be able to guess it too. She pretended not to know, but she was riding a tiger and wanted to save her grandpa first, and then pursue the case later, so she invited people from Qingcheng. To protect the Grand Duke, I really don’t know anyone in the Tang Sect who has been bribed, so I don’t dare to act rashly.”
Tang Gu said: "If what you said is true, if my sister-in-law doesn't die, he will still fail."
Tang Jingcai said: "I don't think so. Not to mention that he can bribe two groups of guards, and he can bribe eight guards. He is an accountant and has a lot of money. In fact, as long as the grandmother is fine, the second girl can't He also hooked up. As long as the matter becomes an unsolved case in the future, he will be in an advantage. Even if the second girl knows that he harmed the great-grandfather and grand-in-law, only Uncle Fei supports her in the entire Tang family, and she will not be able to expose it. This is what I call riding a tiger with difficulty. .”
Tang Gu sneered and said, "He didn't see what his sister-in-law was doing. It would be strange if he didn't overturn the Tang clan's territory when she wakes up."
Tang Jingcai said: "There is no basis for my inference. In short, Er Yatou has no intention of harming the Grandfather and Grandma. That is for sure. It is the traitors in the Tang Sect who need to be careful." She paused and then said, "Er Girl's My life experience is just a rumor, don’t believe it. Seventh Uncle, you have preconceived ideas, and you have gone against other people’s path.”
Tang Gu said: "I understand. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."
Tang Jingcai gathered his clothes and saluted, "Seventh uncle, be careful."
After Tang Jingcai left, Tang Gu remembered that Tang Fei was not present during the chaos just now.
He frowned and walked towards Tang Fei's residence.
He knocked on the door, and the guard who was keeping watch at night was startled when he saw him coming, and said hurriedly: "Master Fei is asleep, Master Qi has something to do, please come early tomorrow." Without saying much, he pushed the guard aside and walked directly to In Tang Fei's room, how could the guards dare to stop him?He knocked on the door and heard Tang Fei's wife ask, "Who is it?"
Tang Gu said: "It's me, Master Qi."
The people in the room seemed taken aback and didn't reply for a long time.Tang Gu asked: "Something happened in the inner courtyard. Where is Tang Feiren?"
The timid niece-in-law did not reply. Tang Gu became even more anxious and shouted: "Where is Tang Feiren?!"
After a while, I heard Tang Fei's wife reply: "My husband... went out at night."
"It's so late, where has he been?"
"Business..." the timid voice replied, "He said it was business, nothing else."
Tang Gu turned around and left.When he left Tang Fei's residence, he happened to meet Tang Shaomao coming towards him.
"Uncle Qi!" Tang Shaomao said, "I'm looking for you."
Tang Gu asked: "What's the matter?"
Tang Shaomao looked solemn, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, and whispered: "Come to me and tell me." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Tang Gu noticed something strange and followed up and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Tang Shaomao said: "Second girl has been taken advantage of. I'll show you something."
Tang Gu was suddenly startled. Seeing Tang Fei's absence, he became suspicious and immediately followed Tang Shaomao to the outside of the military hall where he worked.Tang Shaomao reached out and patted Tang Gu on the back and said, "Uncle Qi, please don't get angry after seeing the evidence. We will make a decision before we act."
Tang Gu glared at Tang Shaomao. He had always been a dignified figure in the Tang sect. Who would dare to go hand in hand with him except Tang Jue?Tang Shaomao's shot was really offensive.But he was impatient at the moment and didn't pursue it. Just when he opened the door, he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind him.
He was the top master of the Tang Sect. He knew it was Tang Shaomao's sneak attack and it was coming with great force. Before he could turn around, he tiptoed forward and ran forward.He entered the house and had ambushed the killers on both sides. They slashed at him with knives at the same time. Tang Gu made a "yeah" sound, and clasped his hands into claws, grabbing the wrists of the two of them. The latter would strike first. If the two killers hadn't followed If you withdraw, you will definitely suffer damage.Kankan forced the two of them away, but Tang Shaomao missed a single blow from behind and chased them in. Someone else closed the door.
Tang Shaomao shouted: "Turn out the lights!"
Tang Gu felt his eyes darken and heard the sound of wind approaching. He dodged quickly and shouted angrily: "Tang Shaomao, what are you doing?!"
He didn't hear a reply, but felt a chill in front of his eyes. It was Tang Shaomao who hit him in the face with a folding fan. Tang Gufang retreated, and there was another sound of a knife behind him.
Although there are windows in the military hall, the hall is spacious, and the lights outside the windows are very weak. It is almost impossible to see in the darkness at this time, but for some reason, the opponent's sword is slashing at Tang Gu's vitals, and it is exactly the same, as if he can see it. Like him.Although Tang Gu was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't see and could only identify his position by listening to the wind. He didn't know how many killers there were. He rolled to dodge and tried to get closer to the window, but was blocked and entangled by Tang Shaomao.Tang Shaomao was indeed a first-class master, even if Tang Gu wanted to force him back during the day, it would take several moves.
Hearing the sound of swords and swords, Tang Gu retreated quickly. He noticed that there was a weapon stabbing him from behind. He dodged sideways, kicked the man far away with a flying kick, and hit the wall with a "Boom" sound. "A loud noise.But this retreat forced him back to his original position, and the assassin immediately attacked. He listened to the direction and punched out.The punch hit the chest, and there was the sound of broken bones and a miserable scream.As soon as he killed the intruder, he heard the commotion of the wind, and there were swords attacking all around him.
This situation was extremely dangerous. Tang Gu bent down to avoid the knife, took out the caltrops from his arms, and shot them in all directions without taking the right shot.He expected that the opponent would be so close that they would be huddled together, with limited space to dodge, and he heard several screams.With the strength of his iron thorns, if he hits the chest and abdomen, he will be seriously injured even if he is not dead. Even if he hits the hands and feet, it is enough to paralyze the combat power.
However, although a few people fell down, it was unknown how many people remained.He had finished shooting the caltrops, and another knife came to cut him. He listened to the wind, grabbed the knife from his wrist, and then buried himself inside.He was always ruthless in his attacks, and now he was even more merciless. He struck with elbows and knees, beating the man until his chest was broken and his bones were broken. He waved his knife wildly and tightly protected his body.With his superb skills and matching weapons, the assassins were swept away by him, and they were about to approach the window——
Tang Shaomao shouted: "Use hidden weapons quickly!"
In an instant, countless hidden weapons were shot at Tang Gu at the same time. Tang Gu could not distinguish the sound of breaking the wind one by one, so he could only protect his body with his sword.Only dozens of "ding-dong-dang-dang" sounds were heard, the subtle ones were like ox-hair needles, the sharp ones were iron caltrops, and the thick ones were iron bodhisattva.A flying knife hit his arm. Although he held on hard, the force of the knife slowed down. As soon as the force of the knife slowed down, there was a gap. A dart knife hit his back. Then he felt pain in his lower abdomen and was hit by a sleeve arrow. .
He sighed inwardly, knowing that he had fallen into a trap and would die here in the blink of an eye.He is not afraid of death, but if he falls here, who will protect his second brother and sister-in-law?
Tang Gu suddenly roared and threw himself out the window. He felt a sudden pain in his calf. He couldn't help but fell to the ground.Tang Shaomao rushed forward and struck an important point on his chest with his folding fan. Tang Gu listened to the wind and used his sword to block.The two of them survived a few moves, but Tang Gu was covered in wounds. He was hit in the chest by Tang Shaomao's palm and fell to the ground.An assassin rushed up to him and slashed him with a knife. Tang Gu was seriously injured and could not dodge, so he instinctively raised his left arm to block.
With a "snatch" sound, the Tang Sect Iron Palm, which was so powerful in the martial arts world, was cut off like this.
Tang Gu didn't groan. He had been hard-working all his life, and he couldn't be discouraged when he was about to die.He used his remaining strength and punched the assassin who had taken his arm away from him in the chest.He felt that the bones and muscles at the tentacles were penetrated by him with great force. He even felt that he had touched the other person's heart, as if he could dig it out with just one dig.
He dug as he was told. With his fingers spread out, he grasped the man's heart and took it out smoothly.
He heard a scream and avenged his left hand.
Tang Gu fell to the ground, feeling intense dizziness and sleepiness, and slowly closed his eyes.
Is Tang Shaomao the mastermind behind everything?How could he bribe the guards?Although this issue is important, it is no longer what Tang Gu is thinking about at this moment.
The last thing he thought about was one thing.
"Second brother, take care of yourself..."
※ ※ ※
September [-], Mao hour.
Tang Shaomao closed the door when he walked out of the military hall, with the guard's military talisman hanging on his waist.
He didn't want to do this, but he had to.The captured rebels would testify against him early today, and he would never be able to escape from Tang Gu's hands.
He didn't bribe those guards because they were all his people.He relied on his position in the military hall to transfer his own people to the same team. It took him five years to replace four of the guards with his own people.
It was difficult to surround and kill Tang Gu, and he was not completely sure until he succeeded.Just after counting the number of people, Tang Gu killed six and injured eight.
"Uncle Qi is really a mountain in the Tang Sect." Tang Shaomao couldn't help but sigh and regret at the same time.Tang Gu didn't know that the pat he gave him on the back before entering the door actually contained phosphorus powder. The phosphorus powder can emit a faint light in the dark night, so the killer can accurately identify his location.
From the moment the cold-faced lady fell to the present day, it has been less than twelve hours, so much has happened.Then, there is more to do.
Tang Yi must be recruited before Tang Yi Xing reveals the truth.Since Mrs. Lengmian and Tang Gu were not here, the guards were under their own control.
Everything will be settled before noon today.
Is it going to be dawn soon?Tang Shaomao raised his head.The sky dawned slowly in September, and there was no dawn yet in the sky. Tang Shaomao took a breath, he still had time.
Mao Shi, he likes this time because his name is Tang Shaomao and this is his time.
He walked to the execution hall.
※ ※ ※
September [-], Mao hour.
Tang Liu just went to bed. After a busy day, he was mentally nervous. He couldn't sleep well due to tossing and turning, not to mention that this bed was not what he was used to sleeping on.
Regardless of Tang Liu, Tang Yi, and Tang Shaomao, they all have their own mansions outside the compound.Of course, there is also a room in Tangmen for them to rest in during their free time.Tang Fei was not a close relative and lived far away, so his family moved into the Tangmen compound.As for Tang Gu, the Tang family compound is his home and he has never left it since he was a child.
Normally, Tang Liu would have gone back home to rest, but at this time, he felt it was better to stay in Tangmen. Who knows what will happen when he wakes up?
He was still thinking about what happened today. He knew that the second girl had united with Qingcheng, but he couldn't figure out why there were traitors in the guard.
He heard a knock on the door, and a servant came in to tell him that someone was here to see him.
"Damn it, who is it so late?" he cursed angrily.
"He calls himself Xie Gubai."
From Qingcheng?Tang Liu was suspicious, guessing that he was here to be a lobbyist, so he said: "Let him in."
"Isn't it too early to be a lobbyist now?" Tang Liu looked at the tall young man in front of him, wondering and listening to what he had to say.
"It's not early, it will be dawn in a little while. The sky is first bright and its color is so white," Xie Gubai bowed and said, "My name is Xie Gubai, and now is my time."
(End of this chapter)
September [-]th, Yin hour three quarters.
Not only the people in Qingcheng, but also the faces of people in the Tang Sect also changed.Shen Yuqing is the only son of the head of Qingcheng. The Tang clan kills the prince of Qingcheng, which will trigger a storm in the world.No, storm is not enough to describe it. This will be the biggest war in the martial arts world after the Shaosong War.No matter how weak and fearful Shen Yongci was, he could not just sit back and watch his son being killed without reacting.
Everyone looked at Shen Yuqing.
A few years ago, when Shen Yuqing first started to take charge of Qingcheng's political affairs, people said that he was an embroidered pillow, good-looking but as weak as his father.Many people in the Tang Sect have met him, and just like the rumors, he is a gentle and polite young man with no temper at all.In this peaceful age, at least on the surface, how often have you seen such a battle?Those who are timid may have been frightened to death, but they are already calm and stable if they can find the steps.
However, the rumors from the outside world did not clearly understand the young master of Qingcheng.Shen Yuqing's expression remained unchanged, he drew his sword and raised it high, shouting: "Uncle Bai, protect Mr. Tang!" After giving the order, Bai Dayuan shouted loudly, drew his sword, and shouted: "Protect Mr. Tang!"
The Qingcheng disciples drew their weapons one after another and formed two square formations, with ten people in each formation, forming two fan shapes to guard outside Tang Jue's house, showing that they were well-trained.
Tang Jueyan also said: "Five Poison Sect, protect me!"
The Five Poison Sect disciples also drew their weapons one after another. They were smaller in number, but they stood at the front, right in the middle of the two fans in Qingcheng.The Five Poison Sect is not a sect, and there are many female disciples among them. Seeing them blocking the front, everyone in Qingcheng couldn't help but admire them, thinking: "If we really want to fight, even if the situation is dangerous, we can't lose." These girls!”
Although Yan Qingfeng also held a sword in his hand, he was thinking about how to escape if a war really started.He retreated to Tang Jueyan, seemingly protecting Tang Jueyan, but in fact he thought: "I am the legitimate son of Huashan. As long as I don't hinder them, they will not harm me. If Jueyan wants to join the war, I will take advantage of the chaos." She'll be fine after she's knocked unconscious and exits the battle circle."
Bai Dayuan glanced around. There were many enemies but we were few. If we really wanted to fight, we would definitely capture the thief and the king.But Tang Gu had been famous in the martial arts for a long time, and he thought he might not be able to cope with this old man.
Shen Yuqing said: "Master Qi, if we really want to hurt the old man, if you use weapons, can you not push the old man out as a hostage? You are so reckless and hurt the harmony between the two families. Who will benefit?"
Tang Gu shouted angrily: "How dare you!"
Shen Yuqing said: "If you are forced to go to Liangshan, why don't you dare?"
This was already a gentle threat, and the implication was that he wanted to take Tang Jue as a hostage.The situation was at a stalemate, and everyone looked at Tang Gu again.Everyone knows that the leader of the Tang Sect Guards is the most stubborn. No one can stop what he wants to do except Tang Jue.
Just listen to Tang Gu say coldly: "If you dare, I will let you die without a body! Arrest you!"
Although the yard outside Tang Jue's house was large, it seemed crowded with thousands of people crowded at this time.Tang Gu gave an order, and 24 guards, six on each side and four levels at the front and back, square and orderly, pressed forward unhurriedly.
Tang Jue, who was standing at the door, took a step forward and whispered: "Old Qi, do you also want to kill me?"
Tang Jue and Tang Gu's feelings were extraordinary. When Tang Gu saw him coming forward, he said in a deep voice: "I am saving you."
Tang Jue said: "If Mr. Shen hadn't sent his little sister to ambush here first, you would have come a step too late. There are really people in the Tang Sect who want to harm me. They say it is hard to guard against thieves day and night, so it is better to keep me here Be safe here.”
Tang Gu waved and said, "Second brother, come here and talk."
Just as Tang Jue was about to approach, Tang Jueyan stepped forward to stop him and said, "Grandpa, it's dangerous over there. If you have anything to say, let Qi Ye come in and say it. Could it be that Qi Ye is afraid?" She then looked at Tang Gu.
Tang Gu's face was livid: "Second girl, I'm talking to your grandpa, why are you interrupting?"
"Seventh Uncle." Tang Jueyan hooked Tang Jue's arm, as if intimately, and said, "This huge Tang Sect is all our own people, so we have to be careful."
Tang Gu was furious, and suddenly heard a soft voice saying: "Seventh Uncle, Grandpa wants to stay here, just listen to him, he is fine."
Everyone looked around and saw that the eldest lady Tang Jingcai came over with her bodyguard Tang Ying.Not only her, but Tang Yi and Tang Liu also came.Tang Jingcai stepped forward and took Tang Gu's arm, and said warmly: "Seventh Uncle, now is not the time to lose your temper. Please withdraw your troops first, speak slowly, and consider the long term."
Tang Gu said: "You even spoke for them? Where is your father? He is in charge, where did he go?"
Just as he was talking, Tang Jinyang arrived surrounded by a group of guards and asked in a panic: "What happened? Dad?" He looked into the courtyard and saw Tang Jue surrounded by people from Qingcheng and Wudu Sect, and said in surprise , "What are you doing? Are you kidnapping my father? Let him go quickly!"
Tang Gu said: "Your father has been kidnapped, what will you do?"
Shen Yuqing said: "I'm not kidnapping, just protecting."
Tang Jinyang said: "What kind of protection? Don't we have no one to protect us in the Tang Sect? Get out, everyone!"
Tang Jingcai first stopped Tang Jinyang and said, "Dad, calm down." Then he turned to Tang Gu and said, "I'm not talking for anyone, I'm just talking about the matter. We're all family members. There's nothing we can't say. My second sister is not harmful. The reason for the Grandpa is to protect the Grandpa. Seventh Uncle, if there is anything we need to go back and discuss slowly, in this Tang family compound, who is afraid of running away? "
Tang Jinyang shouted: "Dad, don't be afraid! The child will protect you!"
Tang Jue smiled and said, "With your protection, I would have been reincarnated as your son! Come on, step aside!" He then said to Tang Gu, "Old Qi, you go back, I am very safe. Something is really going to happen. , are you afraid that no one will pay for my life?"
Tang Gu was silent for a long time, and Tang Jingcai couldn't help but give advice. Then he glanced at Shen Yuqing and said in a deep voice: "If something happens to the old man, and more than 200 of you can leave the Tang Sect, my surname will not be Tang!"
Shen Yuqing said: "There is one more thing I would like to ask Master Qi to accommodate."
Tang Gu said: "Don't you know that I don't understand the word 'accommodation' the most?"
Tang Jingcai hurriedly comforted him and said, "Seventh uncle, why don't you listen?"
Shen Yuqing said: "Qingcheng Guest Minister Zhu Menshang, Doctor Zhu, is still in prison. Please ask the Seventh Master to return him to Qingcheng."
Although she said the word "please", Shen Yuqing's words were very firm.Although he knew that Tang Gu had a tough temperament, he could only fight head-on to save Zhu Menshang.
Tang Jinyang said hurriedly: "I'm just a doctor. If it's important, just pay him back! Don't hurt my father!" He still couldn't figure out the situation, so he turned to Tang Yi and said, "Hurry and let him go!"
Tang Yi sneered and said, "I haven't known whether I am dead or alive since I was sentenced yesterday."
Tang Jueyan chuckled and said, "I just saw him before, and he wasn't dead at that time."
Shen Yu heard that she had met Zhu Menshang, and her heart suddenly sank. Zhu Menshang was a witness who accused Tang Jueyan, and he was afraid that he would have been silenced long ago.Tang Yi's face changed drastically and he said angrily: "Who allowed you to go to prison? You...you..." He was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Tang Jueyan said: "I am the deputy head of the execution hall, so I can't interrogate prisoners? He was still alive when I left. I don't know what he is now."
Tang Jinyang panicked: "If he is still alive, I will bring him here. If he dies, you can't ask my father to pay with your life!"
Shen Yuqing just smiled politely but didn't reply. He knew who had the final say at this time.Tang Gu stretched out his finger, pointed to the northwest corner and said, "Young girl, you know where the prison is. If you want to send someone to rob the prisoner, just go there. Whether you can bring him out or not depends on your ability in Qingcheng."
Shen Yuqing knew that Tang Gu was unwilling to release him, and was still worried about Zhu Menshang's life and death, so she said, "If Dr. Zhu is well, please send a message so that I can feel at ease."
Tang Jinyang said hurriedly: "Of course!"
Tang Gu suddenly shouted: "The guards obey the order!"
The 24 Guardsmen present immediately stood upright, and even the rebels who were tied to the ground could not help but straighten their backs.
Tang Gu ordered: "Stay outside and protect the old man!"
Tang Jueyan suddenly said: "Seventh uncle, it's better to take your people away and keep them here. Who knows how many groups of traitors there are?" She then pointed to the rebels on the ground and said, "Take them back and interrogate them carefully. , let’s see who wants to harm grandma and grandpa.”
Tang Gu didn't want to pay attention to it, but Tang Jingcai also advised him: "Seventh Uncle, don't be careless." Tang Gu thought for a while and said: "Ding Yi, take these traitors to the execution hall! The rest of them evacuated outside. I order you not to enter!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Na Ding Yi was the captain of Team Ding [-] and was a master of using short swords. After listening to the order, he led his men forward to take the assassin away.When Tang Shaomao and Tang Liu saw this situation, they each had their own plans. Tang Jinyang told Tang Jueyan, "Be careful about Grandpa's safety." Tang Jueyan ignored it and everyone dispersed.
Tang Jingcai walked towards Tang Jueyan and called "Second sister".Tang Jueyan asked: "Sister, is there something wrong?"
Tang Jingcai shook his head and said, "If you make things bigger and bigger, I'm afraid it won't be easy to clean up."
Tang Jueyan smiled and said: "The messy situation can be dealt with, sister, don't worry."
Tang Jingcai sighed and said, "Be careful." After that, he followed everyone and left.
Shen Yuqing walked towards Tang Jueyan, raised her hands and asked, "Second Miss has seen Doctor Zhu, why didn't you tell her just now? Is he okay?"
Tang Jueyan said: "You asked me if he was dead, and I said I didn't know. He was not dead when I left. Now, let's wait for the news."
Shen Yuqing asked again: "Can the Second Miss try to rescue him?"
Tang Jueyan said: "Uncle Yi is on guard. There are more than a dozen important prisoners in the prison. It's no longer possible for me to save people." She saw Shen Yuqing staring at her with firm eyes, as if he was not satisfied with the answer. .
Seeing that they were a little stiff, Xie Gubai stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, we are in the same boat now. We need to cooperate and explain Dr. Zhu's affairs clearly so as to avoid any worries."
Tang Jueyan then said: "He can't stand the punishment, so he wants me to give him a killing pill. I will stuff it into the gap between his broken teeth. If he can't hold on, he can kill himself with just a flick of his tongue."
Shen Yuqing's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice: "You are harming him!"
Tang Jueyan said: "If you really want to harm him, you don't have to go around in circles. Mr. Shen has never been punished, so he doesn't know how difficult it is."
Shen Yu listened to what she said, knowing that Zhu Menshang must have suffered a lot, and was even more worried. Also knowing that Zhu Menshang was not dead, she felt a little relieved, so she asked, "What are the second young ladies' plans next?"
Tang Jueyan said: "My grandpa is in my hands, and my grandma will always wake up. If she survives for a day or two, those people won't be able to play tricks."
Suddenly, Tang Jue, who was standing at the door, shouted: "I've been working hard for most of the night. Second girl, come over and help Grandpa Grandpa rub his back!"
Tang Jueyan chuckled and said, "Here we come!" After speaking, she glanced at Shen Yuqing and said, "You are coming too."
Shen Yuqing nodded and followed in.
In the room, Tang Jueyan was sitting on the side of the bed, beating Tang Jue's back while he was lying on the bed.Tang Jue said: "You have an idea. You even sent people to arrest me, and you are not afraid of breaking my old bones apart."
Obviously Tang Jue had guessed that the person on the night list was sent by Tang Jueyan, but he didn't feel dissatisfied, and his tone was full of praise. The Shen Yuqing brother and sister on the side looked at each other, only thinking that the education of Tang Clan was really different. .He then heard Tang Jueyan laugh and say, "They will deduct money if they hurt you."
Tang Jue said again: "These dead soldiers are not cheap. Where did you get so many private houses?"
Tang Jueyan said: "My grandpa guessed and he knew it well. If my grandpa guessed wrong, I can't correct him."
Shen Yuqing thought to herself that although she was close to Mrs. Tang, she still did not reveal her true feelings in front of him. It was difficult to say whether the relationship between the grandfather and grandson was good or bad.
Tang Jue smiled and said, "You are so much like your mother-in-law. You don't say anything clearly about your plans. That's all. You have to thank them today."
Tang Jueyan said, "I don't need Grandpa's instructions, I've already thanked you." Then she asked, "How did they come?"
Tang Jue said: "The handsome young man next to me, his surname seems to be Xie, came to me with this girl, saying that he was afraid that I would be in danger. This girl is hiding under the bed, her kung fu is very good, I don't think you can beat her. "
Tang Jueyan said: "I'm not the seventh uncle, so I don't need to fight every day."
Tang Jue chuckled and said, "That's right. Lao Qi has a bad temper. Alas..." He sighed, then changed the topic and asked, "Are you not interested in Grandma's letter? Don't you want to read it?"
Tang Jueyan said: "What's there to see?"
Tang Jue said: "The name above may not be yours, don't be too confident."
Tang Jueyan said: "The old lady has her own ideas. At most she will just be treated like a little girl being teased again."
Tang Jue murmured: "The old woman loves to tease people..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower, as if he had fallen asleep.
Tang Jueyan covered Tang Jue with a quilt and signaled everyone to leave the room.The group of people arrived in another room, and Tang Jueyan said to Shen Yuqing: "Looking at how polite you are, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Without your help today, there are still variables."
Shen Yuqing said: "It's Mr. Xie's suggestion."
Tang Jueyan looked at Xie Gubai, seemingly very interested, and asked, "Then who should I talk to? You or him?"
Xie Gubai smiled and said, "It's us. Mr. Shen also needs to know if there is any plan."
Xiao Baben, who was on the side, just watched quietly, and suddenly asked: "Does the second lady and the eldest lady not have a good relationship? The eldest lady helped persuade the seventh master today, but the second lady is very cold towards her?"
Tang Jueyan said lightly: "When I was 12 years old, I secretly wore her clothes. After that day, she changed all her clothes. Guess what she was thinking?"
Tang Jingcai once told this story to everyone. It was the same story, but different people had completely different feelings about it.Shen Weichen said: "Maybe the eldest lady knows that she is not as good as you, so she lets you go."
Tang Jueyan was noncommittal: "Maybe, who knows."
Everyone had their own thoughts, and they all felt that Tang Jueyan was trying to save others by herself and had misunderstood Tang Jingcai.
In short, Zhu Menshang is not dead yet. As long as he stays here for a few days, everything will be settled when Mrs. Lengmian wakes up.
Just wait for a few days...
Tang Jueyan said calmly: "Let's talk about business."
※ ※ ※
September [-], Yin Zheng
Tang Yi hurried back to the prison and arrived at the door. Several guards hurriedly came forward to report: "Master, the second lady came just now." Tang Yi said angrily: "Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed in?"
The guard said helplessly: "That's the second young lady. Anyone who stopped her was beaten." Tang Yi hurriedly opened the door and entered the cell. He saw several guards passed out at the cell door, the cage had been opened, and Zhu Menshang was lying on the ground, dead. Faint or asleep.He stepped forward, kicked Zhu Menshang, and shouted: "Get up!" Zhu Menshang moved slightly. Tang Yi was very surprised and thought, why didn't the second girl kill him?He kicked a few more times and cursed, "Get up!"
Zhu Menshang screamed a few times, turned his back to Tang Yi, and did not get up.Tang Yi scolded: "Are you pretending to be dead!" Just as he was about to send someone to hang him up, he suddenly heard someone coming to tell him that the captured rebels, thirteen in total, had been escorted.Tang Yidao: "Drag them all to the standing cage and see how long they can last!"
The guard replied: "There are only six standing cages, which is not enough."
Tang Yi scolded: "You have to take turns to stand, why do you need someone to teach you? Damn, you're stupid!"
The guard asked again: "There are thirteen people, six out of six and one left. What should we do?"
Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just right if you kill one of them?"
The guard said: "I know, I can kill anyone, right?"
Tang Yi said angrily: "Can't you hear that this is an irony? What a pig!" He glanced at Zhu Menshang, thought for a while, and said, "I will interrogate the prisoner, you keep an eye on him!"
The guard asked again: "Are you going to arrest him and put him in the station cage?"
Tang Yi scolded: "Where are there so many cages? Let's interrogate those traitors!"
※ ※ ※
While escorting Tang Jueyan back to his room, Yan Qingfeng pondered that if Tang Shaomao's plan failed, he would have to work harder to get this woman.He wasn't sure what to do next, but he knew that if he survived these few days, Mrs. Lengmian would have no hope of wanting this woman, whether she was dead or alive.
He wanted to ask what Tang Jueyan had discussed with Shen Yuqing in the room just now, but he didn't ask because he knew that even if Tang Jueyan told him, it wouldn't be the whole story, so he simply didn't ask. The best way to show your ignorance.
"Meng Dujiang is dead." Tang Jueyan suddenly said, "Who saw through my plan?"
"Maybe he's not dead, but just betrayed." Yan Qingfeng said, "He knew he couldn't get you, so betraying you would be a good idea." "Oh? Why?" Tang Jueyan asked.
"There used to be a businessman who liked to collect antique calligraphy and paintings. Once he went to Nanjing for business and passed an antique shop and saw an authentic work by Wang Ximeng." Yan Qingfeng changed the subject and told the story, "He He was very rich, but not rich enough. The painting was too expensive, so he used the excuse of buying a painting and asked the store to take out the painting for appreciation. When the store wasn't paying attention, he grabbed a few silverfish in his hand and stuffed them into the scroll. Here, we made an appointment to pick up the painting in a month."
"When he came back a month later, the beetles had eaten away the painting, so he had to sell it at a cheap price." Tang Jueyan said, "What a good idea."
"When you really want something you can't afford, you can only make it worthless." Yan Qingfeng said, "You are too expensive and no one can afford it."
"Then will you betray me?" Tang Jueyan asked, "In order to get me."
"I can do it too," Yan Qingfeng said, "Everyone who wants to get you will betray you."
"If you had his courage, I would appreciate you more." Tang Jueyan asked, "When will you betray me?"
"I can afford the price. I am the legitimate son of the Yan family in Huashan. Who else can pay a higher price than me? Is Shen Yuqing?"
Tang Jueyan was noncommittal.
"Why didn't you kill Zhu Menshang?" Yan Qingfeng stopped, "Have you long wanted to join forces with Qingcheng?"
Tang Jueyan also stopped and looked back at Yan Qingfeng.
"I gave him a killing pill."
"That's not your style."
"I changed my mind." Tang Jueyan said, "Shen Yuqing will not let me let go if he dies."
Yan Qingfeng suddenly realized that he disliked Shen Yuqing, even to the point of hatred.If a man who is better than him in every aspect appears in front of the woman he wants, he will definitely be disgusting.
Yan Qingfeng knew that this was jealousy.
They returned to Tang Jueyan's room.
"Go back." Tang Jueyan raised her eyebrows slightly and unconsciously stretched out her hand to wipe it on her eyebrows. "If anything happens, I will send someone to notify you."
Yan Qingfeng suddenly remembered something and said, "Go in. It's almost dawn. I'll wait until dawn before leaving."
"It's up to you." Tang Jueyan opened the door and went in, but didn't latch it. Yan Qingfeng knew that this was her habit.She didn't care that Yan Qingfeng and Meng Dujiang were peeping outside the door because they didn't dare.
Yan Qingfeng stood outside the door, waiting quietly for something to happen.Maybe it won't happen, anyway, he is waiting.

September [-]th, Yin Zheng.
Tang Jingcai has been following Tang Gu since he left Tang Jue's room.Tang Ying followed the two of them, keeping a distance of seven or eight feet, as if he didn't want to disturb their conversation.
Tang Gu knew that Tang Jingcai had something to say and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tang Jingcai said, "I won't tell you until my seventh uncle loses his temper."
Tang Gu said: "If I want to lose my temper, I will lose my temper. Your grandpa can't stop me. What the hell are you doing, little girl? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
His tone was stern, even to his grandniece.Tang Jingcai pursed his lips and said, "You lost your temper before you even said anything. How do you say that?"
When Tang Gu saw her acting coquettishly, he couldn't lose his temper and said, "Just tell me, I'll try my best not to lose my temper."
"The second girl will not harm the grandpa. Everyone guesses that she is the one appointed by the grandma. If the grandpa dies earlier than the grandma, she will have no hope. Seventh uncle, let me tell you the truth. You are biased against the second girl. If you believe that she will It was because of the murder of the grandma that the grandpa was assassinated."
Tang Gu snorted coldly, his expression serious.Indeed, he believed Tang Yi's advice and was worried that Tang Jueyan would assassinate Madam Lengmian, so he left most of the guards at Madam Lengmian's residence so that the assassin could easily break into Tang Jueyan's residence.As for the Night List Killer's attack, he didn't see it and no one told him about it. Although he was unhappy at the moment, he couldn't refute it.
Tang Jingcai said: "I think as long as the grandma is fine, the affairs in charge can be discussed again. Now it is obvious that there is a traitor in the door. First, he plotted against the grandma and then assassinated the grandpa. This is the top priority, and the second girl's trouble is secondary. There are things to do. Prioritize, seventh uncle, don't keep targeting the second girl."
Tang Gu said: "It's your uncles who want to drive away the second girl, not me. You go talk to them."
Tang Jingcai said: "Don't you think that there is a traitor who wants to harm the second girl to cause such a big trouble?"
Tang Gu frowned and said, "Do you have any clues?" He knew that his niece was smart and careful, so she must have some ideas when she suddenly said this.
"It's just an idea, I don't know if it's right or not." Tang Jingcai whispered a name in Tang Gu's ear.Tang Gu was surprised and said: "You said your Uncle Fei?"
Tang Jingcai said: "I had doubts about others, but that person can buy two teams of guards, which is a big expense. Who else can buy the entire team of guards besides him?"
Tang Gu said: "He is just the accountant, he has no role in taking charge, so why should he cause such a big disaster?"
Tang Jingcai said: "I didn't doubt him at first, but I heard that the second girl went to see him yesterday."
Tang Gu said: "You mean the second girl conspired with him?"
Tang Jingcai shook his head and said: "Second girl and grandma have a good relationship, so there is no need. Seventh uncle, think about it, who in the entire Tang family doesn't know that my uncle doesn't like second girl? Grandma is injured, who should second girl ask for help? Yi Uncles Liu, Shaomao, and Uncle Seven, none of you will help her, so Uncle Fei will be the only one left? I guess the second girl came to him because she originally just wanted his support, but he became interested and wanted to Pushing the second girl to take advantage of the opportunity, he also has the merit of supporting her."
Tang Gu shook his head and said, "I don't believe he has such a plan."
Tang Jingcai said again: "Yesterday at the ancestor worship ceremony, who among the uncles helped the second girl speak? Wasn't it Uncle Fei?"
Tang Gu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, and asked again: "Do you think the second girl knows?"
Tang Jingcai said: "Maybe I didn't know it at first, but I can guess it, and the second girl should be able to guess it too. She pretended not to know, but she was riding a tiger and wanted to save her grandpa first, and then pursue the case later, so she invited people from Qingcheng. To protect the Grand Duke, I really don’t know anyone in the Tang Sect who has been bribed, so I don’t dare to act rashly.”
Tang Gu said: "If what you said is true, if my sister-in-law doesn't die, he will still fail."
Tang Jingcai said: "I don't think so. Not to mention that he can bribe two groups of guards, and he can bribe eight guards. He is an accountant and has a lot of money. In fact, as long as the grandmother is fine, the second girl can't He also hooked up. As long as the matter becomes an unsolved case in the future, he will be in an advantage. Even if the second girl knows that he harmed the great-grandfather and grand-in-law, only Uncle Fei supports her in the entire Tang family, and she will not be able to expose it. This is what I call riding a tiger with difficulty. .”
Tang Gu sneered and said, "He didn't see what his sister-in-law was doing. It would be strange if he didn't overturn the Tang clan's territory when she wakes up."
Tang Jingcai said: "There is no basis for my inference. In short, Er Yatou has no intention of harming the Grandfather and Grandma. That is for sure. It is the traitors in the Tang Sect who need to be careful." She paused and then said, "Er Girl's My life experience is just a rumor, don’t believe it. Seventh Uncle, you have preconceived ideas, and you have gone against other people’s path.”
Tang Gu said: "I understand. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."
Tang Jingcai gathered his clothes and saluted, "Seventh uncle, be careful."
After Tang Jingcai left, Tang Gu remembered that Tang Fei was not present during the chaos just now.
He frowned and walked towards Tang Fei's residence.
He knocked on the door, and the guard who was keeping watch at night was startled when he saw him coming, and said hurriedly: "Master Fei is asleep, Master Qi has something to do, please come early tomorrow." Without saying much, he pushed the guard aside and walked directly to In Tang Fei's room, how could the guards dare to stop him?He knocked on the door and heard Tang Fei's wife ask, "Who is it?"
Tang Gu said: "It's me, Master Qi."
The people in the room seemed taken aback and didn't reply for a long time.Tang Gu asked: "Something happened in the inner courtyard. Where is Tang Feiren?"
The timid niece-in-law did not reply. Tang Gu became even more anxious and shouted: "Where is Tang Feiren?!"
After a while, I heard Tang Fei's wife reply: "My husband... went out at night."
"It's so late, where has he been?"
"Business..." the timid voice replied, "He said it was business, nothing else."
Tang Gu turned around and left.When he left Tang Fei's residence, he happened to meet Tang Shaomao coming towards him.
"Uncle Qi!" Tang Shaomao said, "I'm looking for you."
Tang Gu asked: "What's the matter?"
Tang Shaomao looked solemn, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, and whispered: "Come to me and tell me." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Tang Gu noticed something strange and followed up and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Tang Shaomao said: "Second girl has been taken advantage of. I'll show you something."
Tang Gu was suddenly startled. Seeing Tang Fei's absence, he became suspicious and immediately followed Tang Shaomao to the outside of the military hall where he worked.Tang Shaomao reached out and patted Tang Gu on the back and said, "Uncle Qi, please don't get angry after seeing the evidence. We will make a decision before we act."
Tang Gu glared at Tang Shaomao. He had always been a dignified figure in the Tang sect. Who would dare to go hand in hand with him except Tang Jue?Tang Shaomao's shot was really offensive.But he was impatient at the moment and didn't pursue it. Just when he opened the door, he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind him.
He was the top master of the Tang Sect. He knew it was Tang Shaomao's sneak attack and it was coming with great force. Before he could turn around, he tiptoed forward and ran forward.He entered the house and had ambushed the killers on both sides. They slashed at him with knives at the same time. Tang Gu made a "yeah" sound, and clasped his hands into claws, grabbing the wrists of the two of them. The latter would strike first. If the two killers hadn't followed If you withdraw, you will definitely suffer damage.Kankan forced the two of them away, but Tang Shaomao missed a single blow from behind and chased them in. Someone else closed the door.
Tang Shaomao shouted: "Turn out the lights!"
Tang Gu felt his eyes darken and heard the sound of wind approaching. He dodged quickly and shouted angrily: "Tang Shaomao, what are you doing?!"
He didn't hear a reply, but felt a chill in front of his eyes. It was Tang Shaomao who hit him in the face with a folding fan. Tang Gufang retreated, and there was another sound of a knife behind him.
Although there are windows in the military hall, the hall is spacious, and the lights outside the windows are very weak. It is almost impossible to see in the darkness at this time, but for some reason, the opponent's sword is slashing at Tang Gu's vitals, and it is exactly the same, as if he can see it. Like him.Although Tang Gu was highly skilled in martial arts, he couldn't see and could only identify his position by listening to the wind. He didn't know how many killers there were. He rolled to dodge and tried to get closer to the window, but was blocked and entangled by Tang Shaomao.Tang Shaomao was indeed a first-class master, even if Tang Gu wanted to force him back during the day, it would take several moves.
Hearing the sound of swords and swords, Tang Gu retreated quickly. He noticed that there was a weapon stabbing him from behind. He dodged sideways, kicked the man far away with a flying kick, and hit the wall with a "Boom" sound. "A loud noise.But this retreat forced him back to his original position, and the assassin immediately attacked. He listened to the direction and punched out.The punch hit the chest, and there was the sound of broken bones and a miserable scream.As soon as he killed the intruder, he heard the commotion of the wind, and there were swords attacking all around him.
This situation was extremely dangerous. Tang Gu bent down to avoid the knife, took out the caltrops from his arms, and shot them in all directions without taking the right shot.He expected that the opponent would be so close that they would be huddled together, with limited space to dodge, and he heard several screams.With the strength of his iron thorns, if he hits the chest and abdomen, he will be seriously injured even if he is not dead. Even if he hits the hands and feet, it is enough to paralyze the combat power.
However, although a few people fell down, it was unknown how many people remained.He had finished shooting the caltrops, and another knife came to cut him. He listened to the wind, grabbed the knife from his wrist, and then buried himself inside.He was always ruthless in his attacks, and now he was even more merciless. He struck with elbows and knees, beating the man until his chest was broken and his bones were broken. He waved his knife wildly and tightly protected his body.With his superb skills and matching weapons, the assassins were swept away by him, and they were about to approach the window——
Tang Shaomao shouted: "Use hidden weapons quickly!"
In an instant, countless hidden weapons were shot at Tang Gu at the same time. Tang Gu could not distinguish the sound of breaking the wind one by one, so he could only protect his body with his sword.Only dozens of "ding-dong-dang-dang" sounds were heard, the subtle ones were like ox-hair needles, the sharp ones were iron caltrops, and the thick ones were iron bodhisattva.A flying knife hit his arm. Although he held on hard, the force of the knife slowed down. As soon as the force of the knife slowed down, there was a gap. A dart knife hit his back. Then he felt pain in his lower abdomen and was hit by a sleeve arrow. .
He sighed inwardly, knowing that he had fallen into a trap and would die here in the blink of an eye.He is not afraid of death, but if he falls here, who will protect his second brother and sister-in-law?
Tang Gu suddenly roared and threw himself out the window. He felt a sudden pain in his calf. He couldn't help but fell to the ground.Tang Shaomao rushed forward and struck an important point on his chest with his folding fan. Tang Gu listened to the wind and used his sword to block.The two of them survived a few moves, but Tang Gu was covered in wounds. He was hit in the chest by Tang Shaomao's palm and fell to the ground.An assassin rushed up to him and slashed him with a knife. Tang Gu was seriously injured and could not dodge, so he instinctively raised his left arm to block.
With a "snatch" sound, the Tang Sect Iron Palm, which was so powerful in the martial arts world, was cut off like this.
Tang Gu didn't groan. He had been hard-working all his life, and he couldn't be discouraged when he was about to die.He used his remaining strength and punched the assassin who had taken his arm away from him in the chest.He felt that the bones and muscles at the tentacles were penetrated by him with great force. He even felt that he had touched the other person's heart, as if he could dig it out with just one dig.
He dug as he was told. With his fingers spread out, he grasped the man's heart and took it out smoothly.
He heard a scream and avenged his left hand.
Tang Gu fell to the ground, feeling intense dizziness and sleepiness, and slowly closed his eyes.
Is Tang Shaomao the mastermind behind everything?How could he bribe the guards?Although this issue is important, it is no longer what Tang Gu is thinking about at this moment.
The last thing he thought about was one thing.
"Second brother, take care of yourself..."
※ ※ ※
September [-], Mao hour.
Tang Shaomao closed the door when he walked out of the military hall, with the guard's military talisman hanging on his waist.
He didn't want to do this, but he had to.The captured rebels would testify against him early today, and he would never be able to escape from Tang Gu's hands.
He didn't bribe those guards because they were all his people.He relied on his position in the military hall to transfer his own people to the same team. It took him five years to replace four of the guards with his own people.
It was difficult to surround and kill Tang Gu, and he was not completely sure until he succeeded.Just after counting the number of people, Tang Gu killed six and injured eight.
"Uncle Qi is really a mountain in the Tang Sect." Tang Shaomao couldn't help but sigh and regret at the same time.Tang Gu didn't know that the pat he gave him on the back before entering the door actually contained phosphorus powder. The phosphorus powder can emit a faint light in the dark night, so the killer can accurately identify his location.
From the moment the cold-faced lady fell to the present day, it has been less than twelve hours, so much has happened.Then, there is more to do.
Tang Yi must be recruited before Tang Yi Xing reveals the truth.Since Mrs. Lengmian and Tang Gu were not here, the guards were under their own control.
Everything will be settled before noon today.
Is it going to be dawn soon?Tang Shaomao raised his head.The sky dawned slowly in September, and there was no dawn yet in the sky. Tang Shaomao took a breath, he still had time.
Mao Shi, he likes this time because his name is Tang Shaomao and this is his time.
He walked to the execution hall.
※ ※ ※
September [-], Mao hour.
Tang Liu just went to bed. After a busy day, he was mentally nervous. He couldn't sleep well due to tossing and turning, not to mention that this bed was not what he was used to sleeping on.
Regardless of Tang Liu, Tang Yi, and Tang Shaomao, they all have their own mansions outside the compound.Of course, there is also a room in Tangmen for them to rest in during their free time.Tang Fei was not a close relative and lived far away, so his family moved into the Tangmen compound.As for Tang Gu, the Tang family compound is his home and he has never left it since he was a child.
Normally, Tang Liu would have gone back home to rest, but at this time, he felt it was better to stay in Tangmen. Who knows what will happen when he wakes up?
He was still thinking about what happened today. He knew that the second girl had united with Qingcheng, but he couldn't figure out why there were traitors in the guard.
He heard a knock on the door, and a servant came in to tell him that someone was here to see him.
"Damn it, who is it so late?" he cursed angrily.
"He calls himself Xie Gubai."
From Qingcheng?Tang Liu was suspicious, guessing that he was here to be a lobbyist, so he said: "Let him in."
"Isn't it too early to be a lobbyist now?" Tang Liu looked at the tall young man in front of him, wondering and listening to what he had to say.
"It's not early, it will be dawn in a little while. The sky is first bright and its color is so white," Xie Gubai bowed and said, "My name is Xie Gubai, and now is my time."
