Fortunate Young Gentleman

Zhao Tianshi is not in the Liang family, nor has she returned to her and Zhao Yun'er's home. It is not known whether she is hiding somewhere in the city or has escaped from Wanzhou.

Gamblers are very scary. The wife of a former official was reduced to selling her daughter to pay off her gambling debts. Whatever she does, it is not so difficult to understand.

Where she went had nothing to do with Tangning, so he naturally wouldn't bother looking for her.

However, Mr. Wu who was hiding in the Liang family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There was no trace of him, which was hard to understand.

Tang Ning must find the senior member of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. This will save him a lot of trouble and also provide some added security for this trip to Guizhou.

Liu Zheng walked into the room, with a troubled look on his face, and said: "Prime Minister Tang, I have sent people to search the city several times, but nothing has been found yet. Our actions have affected the people. If the city gates are closed again, there may be irritation." There was a civil uprising..."

Wanzhou is the hub of the southwest. The daily flow of people in the city is huge. In addition to businessmen from various places, people inside and outside the city also have to live. It is not advisable to close the city gate for a long time.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Temporarily open the two southeastern city gates and strictly interrogate those who leave the city."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

If the city gates are sealed and people are not allowed to come in or out, public resentment will accumulate soon. Even he cannot bear the responsibility of arousing public resentment.

In Wanzhou City, government officials from several major government offices went door to door to search for the Liang Guo rebels. When the city gates were also conducting strict checks on the people coming in and out, an old man walked into an ordinary house in the city, closed the door, and came to the courtyard. , looked at the middle-aged man and said: "The southeast city gate has been opened, but the search is still strict, and it is not easy to leave through the city gate."

"Then let's stay in the city for the time being." The middle-aged man was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "I don't believe that they can continue to investigate so strictly... By the way, what happened to the Liang family?"

The old man sat opposite him and said: "The Liang family is finished. Shannan Xidao was punished. Liu Zheng led his troops to surround the Liang family and captured the governor of Wanzhou... The matter is more serious than we imagined."

He looked at the old man and asked, "What happened?"

Until now, he didn't know that Elder Sun came back from outside in a hurry. He didn't even have time for him to pack his luggage, so he took him away from the Liang family and passed through a secret passage in the city to the house they purchased in Wanzhou City. What is the purpose of a secret mansion?

"I saw a person in the city." The old man said with a look of fear on his face, "He is the culprit that caused the collapse of our sect. He stole the Ten Thousand Poison Scriptures, humiliated the ten elders, and defeated the Saint. As a result, the saint became obsessed with her martial arts, and her body and soul disappeared, making the Wan Gu sect, which was once flourishing, become what it is today..."

"What happened..." The middle-aged man stood up after hearing the secret information from his mouth, and said in shock: "Could it be that he has a grudge against the Wan Gu Sect and came to Wanzhou to arrest us?"

"Probably not." The old man shook his head and said: "I guess it was me who solved Liang Tao's poison and accidentally exposed our identities, which attracted the attention of the government. Since the prince of Guizhou rebelled in Jiangnan, Chen The state is always vigilant about us, otherwise it would not have been possible to launch a city-wide search like this..."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and asked: "The King of Guizhou is dead, and the Crown Prince of Guizhou rebelled and was executed. Is this true?"

The old man said: "Senior Nephew Gongsun's autographed letter cannot be false. Unexpectedly, we have been worried for so long, but King Qian was finally taken away by God. As a result, Senior Nephew Bai has no choice. When they fight for it, The day the Saint succeeds will be the day His Highness returns to the throne..."

"Let's avoid the government's search first." The middle-aged man sat down again and said calmly: "If the current ten elders are like you, why do I have to wait until today?"

The old man said: "After so many years, the Wan Gu Sect is no longer the Wan Gu Sect before. The positions of the ten elders are constantly changing. They have no intention of returning to the country. They only want to compete for the saint, unify the sect, and take charge of Guizhou. If they are allowed to obtain the title of saint, it will be very detrimental to His Highness's great cause..."

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said, "Success or failure depends on Gongsun and the others..."

The conversation between the two gradually became quieter. Half an hour later, Wan County police officers searched the courtyard. Seeing that no one was in the room, they quickly left...

…

The officials and defenders of the major government offices in Wanzhou searched for three days in Wanzhou City, but could not find the elder of Wan Gu Sect.

There are tens of thousands of members of the Wan Gu Sect, but there are only those ten elders, which shows how powerful they are. Even if they dig three feet into the ground of Wanzhou City, it will not be easy to find him.

With his ability, he might have escaped from the city.

The tense atmosphere in Wanzhou City had already affected the normal lives of the people. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Tang Ning found Liu Zheng and said, "Tell them to stop looking for him."

Liu Zheng has actually been waiting for this order for a long time. In the past few days, the people in the city have been boiling with resentment. If this continues for a few more days, he may be unable to control it.

Unable to find the elder, Tang Ning could only follow the original plan to find the branch that Zhao Yun'er mentioned, and then use this branch to inquire about the details of their fight for the Saint.

Because of the old beggar and the Liang family, he had been delayed in Wanzhou for several days. Now that the Liang family's matter was over, he also had clues about Guizhou. Tangning was going to go into the mountains with the old beggar tomorrow.

As for Chen Zhou, he planned to keep him in Wanzhou to ensure that he would have no worries in Wanzhou.

Tangning simply packed her bags and was about to go to bed when there was a sudden knock on the door.

He walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Zhao Yun'er standing outside the door with a dazed expression.

Tangning invited her into the room, closed the door, and asked, "Have you found your mother?"

Zhao Yun'er shook her head and said, "I don't know where she went. Maybe she left Wanzhou because she was worried that the Liang family would cause trouble for her."

Regarding this matter, Tang Ning didn't know how to comfort her. It was indeed a sad thing to have such a mother.

Tangning took out a few banknotes from her sleeves, changed the topic and said, "She lost all the money last time. You can keep these banknotes."

These banknotes were enough for her to open a small shop in Wanzhou and start a small business, so that she would have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Zhao Yun'er did not accept the banknote this time. She shook her head and said, "Yun'er has her own hands and feet and can support herself. How can I always use your money..."

When she said this, Tangning no longer insisted.

After the incident with the Liang family, Wanzhou's officialdom will undergo some big changes. When the time comes, he will ask Liu Zheng to take care of her. From now on, at least in Wanzhou, no one will dare to bully her.

Zhao Yun'er looked at him and said: "If I hadn't met the adults this time, Yun'er would have been in trouble long ago..."

Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, Miss Yun'er. If Xiaoyi knows that I'm just sitting back and watching you, you'll definitely blame me."

Zhao Yun'er smiled slightly and said, "I really envy Sister Zhong to have a husband like you."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Sooner or later you will find the right man, but the time has not yet come."

He looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I'll take Miss Yun'er back."

Zhao Yun'er turned around, took two steps, and suddenly raised her head, as if she had made a difficult decision.

She bit her lip and said softly: "Yun'er can't repay your kindness and kindness. All Yun'er has is this clean body. If you don't dislike it, Yun'er is willing to dedicate it to you..."

As her voice fell, her clothes also fell off.

Tangning was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said hurriedly: "Miss Yun'er, the weather is cold, you'd better put on your clothes quickly..."

Zhao Yun'er saw his expression without any nostalgia or greed, and also saw his decisive back without any hesitation.

Her face gradually turned pale, and she slowly squatted down, picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground, bit her lips, and whispered: "I'm sorry, it was Yun'er who was abrupt..."

Tang Ning heard the sound of the door opening and closing. When she turned around, Zhao Yun'er was no longer in the room.

He sighed softly, but did not chase after him.

He is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a gentleman. However, most of the time, he still has his own bottom line and will not rely on the impulse of one part of his body regardless of the consequences.

Zhao Yun'er was not Zhong Yi, Su Ru, Tang Yaoyao Su Mei, Zhao Man and Li Tianlan. To Tang Ning, she was just an old friend, nothing more.

Zhao Yun'er was walking down the street in despair. She had nothing to offer, so the only thing she could repay Tang Ning for was this relatively clean body.

However, she mustered up the courage to take that step, but he still rejected her.

The man who once existed in her dream was always in her dream.

He was the prime minister of the current dynasty and a close minister of the emperor, but she was just the daughter of a prisoner. This was a chasm that she could not overcome.

Zhao Yun'er sniffed and stopped thinking about something. She returned to her dilapidated yard, looking forward to seeing him again when he returned to Wanzhou.

However, this wish never came true throughout her life.
