Tang Yan returned to the guest room, but opened a crack in the window and continued to look at King Zhou Ling and his guards in the hall, his eyes somewhat strange and wary.
"Haven't you seen enough? Is she so beautiful?" Tang Ying's face turned red with anger.
"Don't you feel that that woman is familiar?" Tang Yan looked at Tang Ying seriously. When he followed Tang Qiong out just now, he was attracted by the appearance and temperament of the sisters, but soon he noticed a sense of familiarity.
This feeling comes from the eldest daughter of King Ling of Zhou.
"I'm not familiar with it, but you must be familiar with it!"
"Huh? Why?"
"When you see a beautiful woman, it's like seeing a relative. You must be familiar with her."
Tang Yan rolled his eyes angrily: "Am I so shameless?"
"Don't you know yourself?"
"Okay, you win, let's talk about some serious business. What's the relationship between Tang Qiong and King Zhou Ling?"
"Not too sure."
"Then tell me the clear part."
Tang Ying thought hard and said, "Uncle Tang Qiong came to our Tang family six or seven years ago. It is said that he was picked up by his grandfather."
"Is there any secret?"
Tang Ying recalled while saying: "I heard from people that Uncle Tang Qiong was a soldier with a military rank in the past. He seemed to be the captain of a thousand men in the Falcon Army. King Zhou Ling once entered the army when he was still a prince.
After training in the Falcon Army, he first served in his thousand-man team.
The border wars were chaotic and crises were often encountered. Tang Qiong saved King Zhou Ling at least twice. King Zhou Ling and Tang Qiong were considered brothers. Later, King Zhou Ling came to the Northern Wasteland to proclaim himself king and secretly controlled Falcon.
The group army intended to promote Tang Qiong to the rank of captain of ten thousand people. At that time, Tang Qiong's martial arts had a breakthrough and he officially entered the realm of King of Martial Arts. King Zhou Ling had an excuse for promotion.
However, before the appointment was sent out, the Falcon Group Army was ambushed by the northern Salo Empire during a military operation and suffered heavy casualties. Uncle Tang Qiong's thousand-man army was wiped out, but he himself escaped by chance and fell into the Hengshui River.
He floated away along the river, but was accidentally rescued by his grandfather Tang Yanshan, who taught him the Tang Family's Fierce Flame Technique. Tang Qiong was grateful for his grandfather's life-saving kindness, so he stayed in the Tang Family and served as a worshiper."
"King Zhou Ling hasn't looked for Tang Qiong?"
"Uncle Tang Qiong was seriously injured at the time. It took him half a year to recover. Later, he changed his name. No one knew his original identity. It was not until King Zhou Ling went to the Giant Elephant City to do business that he accidentally discovered Tang Qiong.
, I tried hard at that time, but Uncle Tang Qiong refused, and has stayed in the Tang family since then. Why do you ask this?"
Tang Yan was noncommittal and continued to ask: "Do you know those two girls?"
"Of course, Zhou Linglu and Zhou Lingxue are the two daughters of King Zhou Ling's principal wife. Zhou Linglu is only 20 years old this year, but she has already reached the level of the second-level martial arts master and is considered a leader among the younger generation of the empire. Zhou Lingxue is twelve years old this year and has just been baptized.
The spiritual pulse activation rate is 70%, which is five percentage points higher than Zhou Linglu's back then." Tang Ying looked at Tang Yan steadily and said in a bad tone: "You are not really interested in them, are you?"
"She's twenty and I'm fifteen. What do you think they match? Don't think too much, I'll ask you again, do you feel that Zhou Linglu looks familiar?"
"No."
"Think carefully, have you seen it somewhere?"
"I've only heard of it, never seen it. Today is the first time we meet. What exactly do you want to ask?"
Tang Yan thought hard, shook his head, and said nothing else.
The sky gradually darkened. Tang Qiong and King Zhou Ling drank six jars of fine wine and were both drunk and unconscious. The hotel returned to calm. Perhaps because all major colleges and aristocratic families had left Shenquan Town, this night... was extraordinarily special.
peaceful.
Tang Yan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, still unable to sleep, and there was always an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart.
Familiarity? He could vaguely judge that this familiar feeling came from the girl in white in the dense forest. The bodies of Zhou Linglu and the girl in white were so similar. During the day, when they deliberately tested each other, the spiritual power that the other party inadvertently revealed was also of the ice attribute.
,Is this just a coincidence?
But the more I think about it, the more contradictory I feel. Zhou Linglu is the princess of the royal palace, and it is unlikely that she would personally commit such a vicious killing. Furthermore, the indifferent look that Zhou Linglu looks at her is very natural, unlike the look of the girl in white in the dense forest.
Coldness and murderous intent are completely different.
If you think about it seriously, that familiar feeling seems unreal again.
The next morning, King Zhou Ling led everyone to bid farewell to Shenquan Town, and the team entered the psychedelic forest. Under the influence of the powerful aura that was deliberately emitted, almost all the monsters chose to avoid it.
For the next four consecutive days, everything was very calm. King Zhou Ling was cheerful and kind, without the slightest air of a prince. He even hunted and barbecued himself many times, making the originally dangerous journey a little more lively and energetic.
Along the way, Zhou Linglu and the guards who were alerted by Tang Yan did not behave abnormally. Their hesitant guesses began to waver. From the third day onwards, they stopped paying careful attention and began to concentrate on studying the martial arts skills given by Tang Qiong——
Fiery Flame Technique.
The Fiery Flame Technique is far more complicated than Tang Yan imagined. Not only is the way to draw the sword limited, but the corresponding spiritual power operation also needs to match the corresponding frequency and strength. If it can be successfully wielded according to the recorded method of the Fierce Flame Technique.
It is extremely difficult to use a knife, let alone use it smoothly and quickly.
In the words of Tang Qiong - practice hard!
The Fiery Flame Technique is difficult or simple, but it has only one purpose - practice makes perfect!
On the first day he came into contact with the Fierce Flame Jue, Tang Yan spent half a day familiarizing himself with the trajectory of the sword and the operation of spiritual power. By the time he was able to smoothly swing a coherent sword, it was already that night.
It took three minutes.
'Fire Flame Technique' and 'Mild Shadow' have something in common, that is, the use of spiritual power is extremely demanding. It must be clever, flexible, and extremely proficient. According to the description of Lie Flame Jue, if you want to display the 'Double Layer of Fierce Flame'
To strike, you need to slash twice continuously within two seconds, and the spiritual power circulates for two days. For Tang Yan, who took three minutes to slash for the first time, it was simply out of reach.
If you want to use the 'Three Strikes of Flame' to triple the power, you need to slash three times in a row for three weeks. Compared with the double strike, it is simply a breakthrough.
The time required for the 'Four Strikes of Flame' is also one second, but from three swords to four swords, it is another extreme leap. It requires continuous training over and over again, and it cannot be relaxed at any time.
Tang Yan did not spend money because of the difficulty, but through constant contact, he became more and more proficient in the use of spiritual power, and he became more and more clearly aware of the principles and methods of how spiritual power is transformed into martial arts.
After training again and again, slashing again and again, with the help of the Immortal Evolution Art, Tang Yan almost reached the level of selflessness that kept him awake all night. Sometimes, in order to digest the occasional inspiration, he might even sit still for a long time, causing harm to his body.
The team had to stop and wait.
This tenacity and persistence not only made Tang Qiong secretly nod, but even Du Yang was a little surprised. Some questions flashed in the minds of the palace guards-is this little guy not tired? How can he stay awake for four days and nights?
So much energy?!
On the evening of the seventh day after going deep into the dense forest, everyone set up camp relying on the stream. Tang Yan was immersed in the practice of Lieyan Jue. He practiced without stopping for four consecutive days, which allowed him to deepen his understanding of Lieyan Jue again and again. The speed of swinging the sword
From the three minutes at the beginning, it was once compressed to five seconds. Although there is still a lot of room for the two-second barrier, the four days can be compressed to this extent, which has turned Tang Ying's small mouth into an O shape.
.
"Wake up." Alinda suddenly found Tang Yan and sat down next to him.
Tang Yan woke up from his thoughts and looked at Alinda who was close to him in surprise. The two of them were almost skin-to-skin contact. He could smell the light body fragrance and could also see the fine hairs on the ears and along the neck.
Looking down...
"Where are you looking!" Alinda glared at him in shame.
Tang Yan smiled coquettishly: "I moved it subconsciously, don't mind. Teacher Alinda, what are you..."
"Something's wrong."
"If you have something to say, please tell me something. This kind of ambiguous behavior can easily cause misunderstandings. You know that I am not a strong-willed person. If I make an unexpected move, wouldn't you..." Tang Yan was unceremonious and took advantage of the situation.
She leaned on Alinda's shoulders and took a deep breath.
It's just that... the proud and arrogant Alinda only stiffened slightly and then stopped responding.
"Are you worried?" Tang Yan felt strange. He looked at Alinda carefully and found that she was obviously much haggard and her face looked very poor.
Aelinda leaned towards Tang Yan's shoulder and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly: "You must believe me, the person chasing us in the dense forest... is King Zhou Ling!"
"Huh?" Tang Yan's face changed slightly.
"Do you still remember the woman in the group of people in white? I had a guess at that time that she was probably Zhou Linglu, the Princess of the Royal Palace! When I saw her in Shenquan Town, I was even more sure of my judgment."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tang Yan and Alinda leaned on each other gently and communicated with each other only in small voices that they could hear.
"How can I say without conclusive evidence? If I say it, who will believe it? How will they deal with me? She is the princess of the empire, and her father is the master of the Northern Wasteland!" Elinda's face was a little bitter, and her own judgment
It's just a guess. In the absence of conclusive evidence, accusing Zhou Linglu is equivalent to accusing King Zhou Ling and the real master of the Northern Wilderness Territory!
If the other party turns around and makes false accusations, he is likely to be directly destroyed.
"Why did you tell me now!"
"From the time I left Shenquan Town until now, King Zhou Ling's guards have been surrounding me, not giving me a chance to speak. Starting this evening, they will no longer monitor me. I think... it's time to take action.
Already."
Tang Yan's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, almost twisting into a knot!
It turns out that the guess is true, that woman is Zhou Linglu!
Organized front to back, everything becomes coherent and smooth.
King Zhou Ling suddenly appeared in Shenquan Town, not to reminisce with Tang Qiong, but to use Tang Qiong to take away the Juxiang Academy, leaving behind Tang Yan and other people who might know about it, and then frame him. Even King Zhou Ling deliberately
Giving Du Yang a big promise was also to give him an excuse to keep him.
Tang Yan's eyes were changing with uncertainty. If he were King Zhou Ling, what would he do next?
The most likely plan is... to arrange for a group of men in white wearing fang masks to attack the team, causing chaos, and kill Alinda, himself and Du Yang in the chaos.
In this way, hidden dangers can be eliminated, and Tang Yan's "seen" can be used to confirm to the world that he has nothing to do with the man in white.
If King Zhou Ling could be injured, the effect would be even more perfect!
