Nangong Jin and the man in black looked at each other.
There was an eerie silence.
Nangong Jin's movement with the fan to pick people's chins was so stiff: "..."
The man in black's eyes were full of anger, and his voice was hoarse: "Have you seen enough?"
As if being electrocuted, Nangong Jin suddenly retracted her hand, with an expression of shock and disgust on her face: "Tantai Jue, how could it be you?!"
Nangong Jin suddenly felt extremely regretful and wanted to chop off the hand that used the fan to pick people off.
No, throw away the fan first.
I touched something dirty.
That's right, this man in black who looks embarrassed and sinister is Tantai Yao's cousin, Tantai Jue.
At the same time, he is also Tantai Hao’s half-brother.
A few months ago, Tantai Jue and Nangong Yi secretly intercepted and killed Tantai Yao on her way from home to practice. Just when she was about to succeed, they were unlucky enough to be bumped into by Yun Luo, who was just returning from Guniuling.
Rescued Tantai Yao, causing the conspiracy between the two to collapse.
After Tantai Yao returned to the family, she complained about this matter to her mother, Mrs. Tantai.
Mrs. Tantai was furious.
Among aristocratic families, killing clan members in private is a serious crime!
Even if Tantai failed to intercept and kill him, what he wanted to kill was Mrs. Tantai’s only daughter, and she was also his cousin. If he knowingly commits a crime, he will be punished with an additional penalty!
No one dares to intercede for Tantai Jue, not even his biological father, Mrs. Tantai’s biological eldest brother.
However, unexpectedly, when Mrs. Tantai ordered the Tantai Jue to be dealt with, he defected from the family dungeon, injured the clan members guarding the dungeon, and disappeared without a trace.
Furious, Mrs. Tantai issued a "killing order" to Tantai Jue, expelled him from the family, and pursued him throughout the continent.
This incident caused a lot of commotion. The three major families and the four countries knew about it, and the death orders against Tantai Jue were posted everywhere.
But the strange thing is that since then, Tantai Jue has disappeared from the world, and no one has found any trace of him.
Later, as Mrs. Tantai's condition worsened and she fell into a coma on the way to Cangyun Country, the Tantai family was leaderless, and the pursuit of Tantai Jue reached a deadlock.
Of course, this is only a superficial reason, and the real reason is much more complicated.
Tantai's ability to escape from the family dungeon is inseparable from the secret release of water by some members of the Tantai family.
In addition, Mrs. Tantai is unconscious and has no one to take charge.
Nangong Jin and others knew in their hearts that under such circumstances, Tantai would never be captured easily.
If Mrs. Tantai is seriously ill and dies, Tantai Hao is the only heir who can convince all the clan members.
Tantai Yao has no identity now. In terms of strength and means, she is far from Tantai Hao's opponent.
Therefore, when Mrs. Tantai is unconscious and Tantai Hao is likely to become the next head of the family, many people within the Tantai family are not willing to really offend him, let alone just for Mrs. Tantai's words.
His only biological brother hunted him to death.
Everyone has selfish motives.
As an emperor and as a courtier, even if you are a clan member connected by blood, it is difficult not to make plans for your future situation.
If Mrs. Tantai is still conscious, her killing order against Tantai Jue is real and effective.
But if she is not conscious, or even her life is in danger, the tribesmen will stand in line to wait and see, and the death order will naturally become a dead letter.
This kind of thing is not uncommon within the family.
However, Nangong Jin never expected that he would see the long-missing Tantai Jue here.
