Tang Xi led the people back depressedly, and happened to return to the Duke's Mansion at the same time as Tang Shao.
"Uncle Ten!" Seeing his expression, Tang Shao had already guessed, "Didn't it succeed?"
He looked at the people following Tang Xi. They didn't look like they had gone through a hard fight, and said, "Did they go another way? Impossible! Didn't Xiuyi notice?"
Tang Xi sighed: "I took another road. That road is useless even if I find it." As he said that, he pointed to the sky.
Tang Shao was puzzled: "Is there a road... in the sky?"
"Hmm. I don't know where they got a few big birds, but they flew away like this."
Tang Shao was extremely puzzled. He had not seen it with his own eyes and could not imagine that scene.
Tang Xi cheered up: "Forget it, if you don't catch me, then you don't catch me. Your safe return is the most important thing."
Tang Shao nodded.
This revenge for killing my father is a bit complicated to talk about.
Yang Shu took half, and Emperor Tiancheng also had to take half.
They all know in their hearts that they are not Jianghu people and cannot settle the matter with a fight. Revenge will probably have to be planned slowly. If it doesn't work this time, then save it for next time.
Emperor Tiancheng's imperial edict was sent to the Duke's Mansion soon after.
The imperial edict did not mention anything about the events in the palace that night. It only said that Tang Jing, the Duke of Dai, died unexpectedly. The Holy Heart felt sorry for him and issued an edict to express his condolences.
With this imperial edict, this matter is finally over.
The Tang family will not be liquidated at the moment, but can slowly sort out its internal affairs and make a comeback.
This is a good thing for both parties and the Chu State.
After all, no one is sure of defeating the other, and if they break up, the Chu country will inevitably be in turmoil.
Others in the Tang family who were watching were a little convinced when they saw that Tang Shao had solved the matter so beautifully. When they discussed the matter again, the Second Master Tang and the Third Master Tang did not compete with them for anything and quietly handled Tang Jing's funeral.
In such a peaceful place, a piece of news came in.
"The eldest son is back! The eldest son is back!"
Mrs. Tang was overjoyed. In the days since her husband died, she had been tormented by grief and hatred every day. Now that she heard that her eldest son was back, she finally became happy.
"Quick, go and greet us!"
Mrs. Tang went out impatiently, and everyone else looked at each other and followed her out.
In the past, as elders, they didn't need to be so polite.
But now that the eldest brother has passed away, if there is no accident, this nephew will succeed as the Duke of the country. In the future, if he is at the helm of the Tang family, he still has to give some face.
Tang Xi and Tang Shao also went out.
It's just that the two of them were not active and fell at the end.
Tang Xi saw that Tang Shao looked unhappy and spoke to him in a low voice: "Now and then, you two didn't get along well when you were young. Now that you are older, the elder will not make things difficult for you. In the future, brothers will support each other!"
"
Tang Shao's eyes flashed slightly and asked him: "Uncle Ten, do those words you said before still count?"
Tang Xi knew that what he was asking was what Tang Jing had confessed before his death. If the Tang family was in turmoil, he would assist him in taking over the Tang family.
Tang Xi did not hesitate: "Of course it will count. If you think about it, Uncle Ten will help you."
Tang Shao smiled and said, "Uncle Ten said that, I have no regrets. The crisis in the Tang family has been over for the time being. Those ambitions do not necessarily require tens of thousands of people to be realized. I can also assist my elder brother."
Tang Xi was very pleased: "It's good if you think about it this way. To be able to be harmonious between brothers, we must be harmonious."
"Uncle Ten, don't worry, I understand."
Tang Shao calmed down and went with everyone to welcome his returning brother.
There is nothing wrong with this. He said to himself that if his father thinks about him, he should also think about his father. Presumably his father would not want their brothers to turn against each other.
…
Mingwei and others landed and rushed to the meeting point.
Yang Shu's manpower has been arranged long ago.
They immediately disguised themselves and left Chu.
This journey was not easy. By the time they set foot on the land of Northern Qi, autumn had already entered.
We took a boat when we went there, and they took a boat when we came back.
But the mood here and there is completely different.
When they went there, Mingwei and Ji Xiaowu thought about how to save their lives all day long, while Yang Shu thought about how to find someone.
I felt much happier when I came back and spent all day thinking about how to eat and play.
It's just that Yang Shu would be in a daze from time to time.
I don’t know if Hou Liang found Awan.
That day, Ah Xuan received the news from the carrier pigeon and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Yang Shu hurriedly ran over: "What's wrong? Is it news about Ah Wan?"
"Yes." Ah Xuan handed it over, "It came from Mr. Hou."
Yang Shu took it and looked at it, and was stunned. After looking at it for a long time, he asked Ah Xuan: "What does this mean? Is Ah Wan safe or not?"
Mingwei walked over, took the note, and read: "The situation is complicated, please come in person."
She thought for a while: "Hou Liang is very smart. If something happens to Ah Wan, he will remind him. Moreover, he knows the seriousness. It is not an unusual situation and he will not ask you to go."
Yang Shu was troubled: "So I don't understand, what happened to Ah Wan? If nothing happened, he wouldn't say a word, right?"
"I can only say that the situation is really complicated to the point that he feels there is nothing he can do about it, so he can only handle it personally."
The two looked at each other.
"Then let's go directly to the northwest?" Yang Shu asked, "If we go now, we will arrive just in time before winter. But this way, we will delay our return to Beijing."
Mingwei nodded: "If you delay, just delay, Ah Wan is important." She asked Ji Xiaowu, "Cousin, do you want to go home first, or go to the northwest with us?"
Ji Xiaowu actually missed home, but they had just rescued him. It seemed not good for him to go back first, so he said: "I'll go to the northwest too, I haven't been there yet!"
"Okay, let's go together then. My cousin will write a letter later to say he's safe."
"Okay!"
After two years, they headed to the northwest again.
When they reached the end of the canal, the group switched from water to land and rode horses for nearly a month. Finally, in late autumn, they arrived at Liangchuan Pass.
Zong Rui quietly came out to pick them up.
When he saw Yang Shu, he grabbed him into the woods and scolded him: "Are you desperate for your life? You actually sneaked to the northwest. Do you know what the consequences will be if you let the Holy One know about it?"
Yang Shu spread his hands: "I know, so he came 'secretly'!"
"Haha!" Zong Rui twitched the corner of his mouth and said to himself, sure enough, the familiar feeling came again. My hands were so itchy that I really wanted to blow his head off!
"Wait a minute!" Zong Rui turned his head, took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and then turned back, "Then what are you going to do when you come? Are you really going to Beihai?"
Yang Shu asked him: "I wanted to ask what was going on. Hou Liang said that the situation was complicated and asked me to come in person, so I came!"
"This old boy!" Zong Rui cursed and told him, "He is personally responsible for this matter. The only thing our Northwest Army has discovered is that the people from the Snow Wolf Division are missing." (To be continued)
