Tang Qian knocked on Tang Mingjing's door and saluted respectfully: "Father."
Tang Mingjing put down the file in his hand and smiled happily: "Qian'er, why are you free to come to my place today?"
"I just came back from the martial arts field. I saw that the light in the study was still on, so I came over to see. Is my father troubled recently?"
"It's not because that little bastard Yan'er ran out without making a sound and left for half a year without any news, which caused me to be severely punished by your grandpa."
"There's no news about my second brother?"
"Yes, in the evening, the falcon sent out found their traces outside the psychedelic forest. It is expected that they will come back in a few days." Tang Mingjing had no choice but to deal with Tang Yan, and now he was a little nostalgic for the past. , although he gets into trouble everywhere he spends his days and nights, it is always a small matter and can always be settled easily. Now it is better that he no longer teases girls and is interested in monsters instead.
Tang Qian smiled and said: "It's good to come back. This time, people have to keep an eye on him."
"I have made arrangements. When he comes back this time, he will go to the academy and let the instructors wear down his temper."
"There are a few iron-blooded mentors in the academy, and they will like the second brother very much. By the way, I saw Tang Ba and the others came back a few days ago. Are there any more difficult things to deal with?" There is a person in the Tang family. As an unwritten convention, the five great butchers each perform their own duties. Tang Jun assists the old man, Tang Qiong is responsible for the internal affairs of the Giant Elephant City, and Tang Ba, Tang Qing and Tang Hao are responsible for family properties in other areas, as well as cleaning up certain specific threats. Unless there are extremely serious threats. Special circumstances, otherwise the five great butchers would not all gather together in the family.
Tang Qian suddenly discovered this strange phenomenon a few days ago. Not only Tang Ba is back, but Tang Qing and Tang Hao are also back. In addition to the 'passed' Tang Qiong, the four great butchers gathered together in the family.
Something must have happened! This was the main purpose of his coming here today, to try to get involved in the family's internal affairs.
Tang Mingjing looked a little solemn: "Your grandfather felt a special energy fluctuation some time ago, similar to a powerful person, somewhere in our Giant Elephant City."
"Martial Master?!" Tang Qian was surprised.
"That's right, he is a powerful man of the highest level, and his aura is no weaker than your grandfather's. We were worried that something unexpected would happen, so we called back Tang Ba, Tang Qing and Tang Hao."
"Has the family provoked other forces recently?"
"It's not clear yet, so take precautions and be careful in everything. In recent days, there has been some instability in the Giant Elephant City. If you are fine, stay home for the time being and don't move around."
"Well, I will. Father, please go to bed early and don't be too tired." Tang Qian stood up and left.
Tang Ming leaned on the seat admiringly, worry slowly creeping up between his brows. In recent times, strange and powerful people have frequently appeared in the Giant Elephant City, and they behave suspiciously. They have been in contact with the Yang family, the Li family, and then moved into the Giant Elephant Academy. , but never had any intention of visiting the Tang family.
After careful investigation, it has been initially determined that the identities of these mysterious people are from the Lingwang Palace of King Zhou Ling!
One powerful person at the respect level, five powerful people at the king level, or more than ten powerful martial arts masters! Their sudden arrival made Tang Mingjing feel a bit of crisis. Who are they here for?
For Zhou Linglu! The robbery incident was almost forgotten!
But...is it really just like that?
Tang Mingjing thought carefully for a long time. He was alert and at the same time a little puzzled. Half a year had passed. Why did King Zhou Ling not think of his daughter until now? Was he ready to eliminate the hidden dangers of the robbery? Could there be some hidden secret?
If this were not the case, was King Zhou Ling suddenly sending such a powerful lineup and frequently contacting other aristocratic families just to discuss cooperation? Or was he simply targeting the Tang family? There is no reason! Although the Tang family's acting style is a bit arrogant,
But it has never touched the interests of Prince Ling's Mansion, and it is impossible to target the Tang family without any reason.
The most important point is, how can he be sure that Zhou Linglu is in the Tang family?! Is it possible that he can search her so blatantly? As long as Tang Yanshan doesn't die, no one in the Zhou Empire will dare to come to the Tang family!
Tang Mingjing was silent for a long time, still unable to find a clue. His intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
Fortunately, Tang Ba and others have returned. No matter what King Zhou Ling wants to do, he must think twice before doing anything!
What needs to be done now is to hide Zhou Linglu and not reveal any flaws.
With his heart full of thoughts, Tang Mingjing left the study and strolled along the gravel path.
The night is desolate, and the white mist is vast, covering the heaven and earth, soaking all things.
It’s been a long time since I took a quiet walk, and maybe I haven’t been here to appreciate my favorite thorn garden for a long time.
Since the robbery of the psychedelic forest, things have happened one after another, without a moment of leisure.
In fact, there is another troubling matter recently, which is about Tang Qian.
About half a month ago, Tang Mingjing unexpectedly received a secret report from the intelligence shadow, suspecting that Tang Qian was the mastermind behind the mercenary interception and killing of Yan'er!
Tang Mingjing tore up the intelligence at that time, and even angrily rebuked the intelligence shadow for its random suspicions. There was no real evidence, how could he arbitrarily make false accusations? He was still his favorite son!
But half a month had passed since the incident, and the report sheet still lingered in my mind and could not be let go for a long time.
Tang Qian harmed Tang Yan? Tang Mingjing was very reluctant to believe it, and could not accept the fact that brothers killed each other in his family. But after careful consideration afterwards, he felt more and more that this possibility actually existed. Tang Qian
Talented, experienced and decisive, with a bit of ruthlessness, this is the evaluation recognized by everyone. Normally, this evaluation is a compliment, but when it comes to certain sensitive matters, it has a special meaning.
In the two months since Tang Yan returned home, his performance was too eye-catching and he was deeply loved by his old father. His performance has steadily surpassed that of the former 'proud son' Tang Qian! In this case, what would Tang Qian think? And
What will be done?
Tang Mingjing did not dare to think deeply!
Yan'er will be back soon. This time, she went to the psychedelic forest to practice privately. It lasted for half a year. She didn't know what kind of growth there would be. Assuming that she could break through the second-level barrier and enter the third-level martial spirit, wouldn't it be possible?
Fight against Qian'er?!
How should the relationship between these two children be handled?
The more Tang Mingjing thought about it, the more upset he felt. He took a deep breath, put aside these distracting thoughts, and prepared to go back to his room to sleep. The boat would naturally go straight to the bridge. It would be better to wait for Yan'er to come back and call the two children to his side to be serious.
Talk once.
The family still values harmony!
But before I took a few steps, I was surprised to find that the fog today...had gotten heavier?!
When I just left the study, the fog was thin and light, and there was a poetic and artistic conception under the glistening moonlight. Not long after, the fog was almost so dense that I couldn't see my fingers, and it was completely white, and nothing could be seen.
The secret room and prison of the Tang family.
Zhou Linglu was huddled in a corner of a simple wooden bed, wrapped in chains, with a tattered dress and a blank expression on her face. In just a few months, this once magnificent imperial princess had become haggard, with messy hair and pale face.
He was so thin that he was almost out of shape.
In the highly hierarchical Zhou Empire, privately imprisoning the imperial princess was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan!
The Tang family's behavior obviously smacked of contempt for the empire, but Tang Yanshan had lived a life of madness and never had any scruples. What's more, this was the secret room of the Tang family, and no one knew about it, so he was just imprisoned. There was nothing wrong with it!
At the beginning, Zhou Linglu cried, made trouble, and struggled wildly, but the response she received was always silence, not even the expected interrogation.
She had imagined that her father would come to save her soon, but she was repeatedly disappointed.
One month...two months...three months...
Time passed day by day, quiet, quiet, still quiet, Zhou Linglu curled up alone on the wooden bed, no one came over, it seemed that the whole world had forgotten her.
She hates! She hates the Tang family! She hates Tang Yan even more!
But the dark life of more than half a year has destroyed her body and mind, and has worn away all her edges. In the past, she always wanted to perform tasks and enjoy passion and excitement, but now what she wants most is to go home, return to the palace, and return to herself.
A cozy room and a comfortable hot bath.
In a trance, a hint of coolness penetrated the body, and the spiritual power in the body began to flow rapidly as if it was being pulled.
Zhou Linglu opened her eyes drowsily, looking at the increasingly dense white fog in the cell. Are you dreaming? She slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch the hazy white fog, but...
The white mist danced lightly, lingering around her fingertips.
Condensed into ice crystals, cool and real.
Really?! Zhou Linglu's delicate body trembled slightly, she was completely awake, her swaying eyes fixed on the thick fog.
Water curtain Tianhua! This is water curtain Tianhua!
At the same time, Tang Yanshan, who was in the family's forbidden area, suddenly opened his vicissitudes of eyes, and a hot breath burst out of his body, violent and manic, instantly filling the stone room and dispersing all the white mist.
The breath surged, like a spatial ripple across the entire Tang Mansion compound, and the thick white mist dispersed completely.
Suddenly the thick white fog dissipated suddenly. This unusual situation made the people in the Tang family who noticed this scene full of doubts.
