Tang Mingjing keenly captured the heat wave that just passed through his body. Was this... emanating from the secret room? With some doubts, he turned and walked towards the place where Tang Yanshan was retreating. But before he went far, a huge and majestic momentum was like a galloping...
The waves rolled and spread and enveloped the Tang family.
"What kind of thief dares to act so arrogantly in the Tang family!!" Somewhere in the family, Tang Jun, Tang Ba and others suddenly became alert and shot into the sky like sharp arrows. The other Tang family worshipers appeared one after another, staring into the air with shock and anger.
Who is going to be so arrogant in the middle of the night? Is this to provoke the Tang family?!
"Tang Yanshan, you're fine, do you still remember me?" In the magnificent aura, a clear laughter came from a distance.
"Chang Tianzhu? If you don't stay well in Prince Ling's Mansion, why are you coming to my Tang Mansion?" Tang Yanshan's voice came from the secret room and clearly reached the ears of Tang Mingjing and others.
Chang Tianzhu? Is it him?! The chief minister of the Lingwang Mansion! This is a super strong man of the martial arts level! The faces of Tang Jun and others became very ugly. They stared at the old man who came through the air. They wanted to stop him, but they felt a deep feeling.
Deeply powerless.
Tang Mingjing raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm. What was supposed to come had come. Prince Ling's Mansion was indeed coming for the Tang family!
Thick white mist enveloped the sky, and an old man with eagle eyes descended gracefully. Under the vigilant eyes of Tang Mingjing and others, he walked into Tang Yanshan's secret room. "Brother Tang, I have a small matter to discuss with you."
"Say." Tang Yanshan looked indifferent and didn't even look at Chang Tianzhu who walked in.
"According to the order of the prince, I took the princess away and settled some personal grudges." Chang Tianzhu sat down and looked at Tang Yanshan with a half-smile. He was not angry at the other party's arrogance.
"I haven't seen any princess, you can leave."
"Tang Yanshan, since I'm here today, I can be sure that the princess is in your Tang Mansion. Otherwise, I will search it myself?"
Tang Yanshan's face was expressionless: "Whatever."
"I still have the same smelly and hard temper. I won't shed tears until I see the coffin. Three hundred meters to the east, there is a rockery. Eighteen meters down, there is a cage. In the cage, there is a broken wooden bed. The county
The Lord is right there! Humph, you are so rude to put the princess in such an environment."
Tang Yanshan raised his eyebrows: "There is a princess in my prison? Really?! I'm so sorry, I don't know how she got in."
"Don't be so stubborn. This is a fact. No matter how much you argue, it's meaningless. Let's talk about business. Do you know that imprisoning the princess of the empire privately will result in the confiscation of the family and the extermination of the clan."
Tang Yanshan glanced at him coldly and retorted unceremoniously: "Robbing the children of aristocratic families and college students without authorization will make King Zhou Ling a target of public criticism."
Chang Tianzhu sneered: "Robbery? Evidence! You will be charged with one more crime, falsely accusing the prince of the empire!"
"That's the truth. Do you dare to confront me?"
"Save it, you don't have any evidence, you are the one who is going to suffer! Tang Yanshan, don't think that because you are a Martial Lord, no one dares to touch you. As long as I give the order now, the palace guards outside will come in and rescue the princess.
, the Tang family has been convicted of this crime, and will definitely be scrutinized by the empire, and no one can save you by then!
However... Your Majesty is kind and grateful for your contribution to the empire in recent years, so he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. I will take the princess away, and you will keep the secret forever, and by the way... give it to me personally!"
"who?"
"Your grandson Tang Yan! This kid always likes to talk nonsense. The prince is worried that it will have a bad influence, affect the image of the palace and the empire, and may even bring trouble to your Tang family. I will take action to solve the trouble for you.
!”
Tang Yanshan's face turned cold: "Don't even think about it!"
"Don't look at me like that. You'd better think about it seriously. There is no evidence for your false accusations against us, but the evidence for your imprisonment of the princess is conclusive! We even have reason to suspect... the hijacking of the psychedelic forest
The incident was caused by your Tang family! Otherwise, why did you kidnap the princess? Huh? Haha!" Chang Tianzhu's smile became more and more gloomy.
"That's cruel! King Zhou Ling raised a good dog!"
Chang Tianzhu looked at Tang Yanshan coldly: "We have enough reasons to get rid of the Tang family! Tang Yan knows too much and must be eliminated! Although you, Tang Yanshan, are a martial lord, you cannot protect him for life, let alone
It’s impossible to save the Tang family! You should know the powerful relationship between them better than I do!”
"You are dismissed!"
Chang Tianzhu stood up and said coldly: "For a dandy to be buried with the entire Tang family, do you think it is fair to other clan members? Think about it! The day after tomorrow, when Tang Yan returns to the city, we will take action in the city. You
If you block it, it means that you have not accepted the conditions. We will attack the Tang Mansion together and remove you from the empire completely! If you sit back and do nothing, it will be regarded as accepting the conditions, and Prince Ling’s Mansion will be on good terms with the Tang Mansion forever."
Half an hour later, the secret room of the Tang Mansion!
"If I had known this, I would have executed Zhou Linglu directly!" Tang Mingjing clenched his fists angrily. At first, he was somewhat concerned about Zhou Linglu's identity, so he was not so decisive in killing her, and he also imagined that one day he could replace Tang Qiong with her.
I didn't expect that things would evolve to the current situation, let alone that the Lingwang Palace's counterattack would be so sharp! The method of confusing right and wrong would be so smooth!
Tang Mingzhong frowned: "How did they find Zhou Linglu? Was it the fog just now? Is this some kind of martial arts or some kind of magic weapon?"
Tang Mingjing looked solemn: "It may be some kind of sensory martial arts."
Tang Qian sat in the corner, looking a little dazed. The princess Zhou Linglu was actually imprisoned in the house?! How could there be such a secret about the robbery at that time?! Unknowingly, the Tang family was on the edge of a cliff! If not
He couldn't believe the repeated discussions between his uncles.
"What do you think of Chang Tianzhu's proposal?" Tang Yanshan looked at the three people in front of him. This is the most direct core of the family. They have the right to participate in the decision-making regarding the fate of the family.
The three of them fell silent one after another. It seemed most appropriate to use Tang Yan's life to save the comfort of the family, but... the Tang family has always been united and could not do such a cruel thing.
Tang Qian was slightly moved, but he didn't dare to show it in front of them.
Tang Yanshan said: "Yan'er is going to the city the day after tomorrow. We need to make a clear decision as soon as possible. Tell us your suggestions, what you think, how you say it, and don't have any scruples."
"I suggest that you send someone secretly to inform your second brother to turn around immediately and leave the Northern Wasteland forever." Tang Qian was the first to speak. This suggestion would not only arouse his grandfather's favor, but also allow Tang Yan to leave the family forever, killing two birds with one stone.
Tang Mingzhong shook his head: "Since Chang Tianzhu knows that Yan'er will enter the city the day after tomorrow, he should have locked their whereabouts. No matter how we contact him, we can't escape the clutches of the palace's pursuers."
Tang Mingjing clenched his fist and smashed it on the wooden chair angrily: "They just want to take action in Giant Elephant City so that we can watch Yan'er die and watch them brutalize our Tang family. If this kind of thing really happens,
How can our Tang family have the dignity to establish a foothold in the Northern Wasteland? If I, Tang Mingjing, can’t even protect my own children, how can I have the dignity to live in this Giant Elephant City?"
Tang Yanshan's face was expressionless, but his heart was full of bitterness.
Choice? How to choose! I know Tang Yan’s true identity best. His biological father’s kindness to the Tang family can’t be replaced by anyone. I once promised him a comfortable life, how could I just watch it?
He was sent to a dead end? If the news spread to that place, what kind of disaster would the Tang family face?
But if you insist on insisting, the entire Tang family is destined to be buried with you! Chang Tianzhu has been in frequent contact with the Yang family, Li family and Juxiang Academy recently. He should be lobbying them to secretly form a temporary alliance. Once the Tang family resists, not only the people in the palace will be
Will fight in, and the Yang family and others will not let go of the opportunity. He may not care about the Yang family and the Li family, but he has to take care of the old guy in the Giant Elephant Academy.
Chang Tianzhu's words were equivalent to pushing himself to the edge of the cliff, with two choices before him.
Either exchange Tang Yan's life for the fate of the entire Tang family, or use the entire Tang family to bury Tang Yan with him!
Tang Mingjing looked ugly, and he also had something unspeakable. If Tang Yan was really his son, he might stand up and express his attitude now, sacrificing his children to preserve the fate of the family. But... Tang Yan's true identity... he knows best.
!The only ones in the entire family who know Tang Yan’s identity are himself and his father.
It is for this reason that he cannot make a decision because the implications are too great!
Tang Mingzhong's subconscious choice was to give up Tang Yan. After all, the overall situation was the most important thing. However, his eldest brother did not express his position, his father did not express his position, and it involved the family's face issue. It was even more difficult for his uncle to say anything more.
The secret room fell into a long silence.
After a long silence, Tang Mingzhong seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Actually..."
Tang Yanshan and Tang Mingjing both looked at him.
Tang Mingzhong opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he suppressed another bitter smile.
Tang Yanshan looked unkind: "If you have anything to say, just say it! Hesitating!"
"Uh... I... Father, if we really give up on Yan'er, how will the Tang family gain a foothold in the Northern Wasteland!"
"What I asked you to say is your opinion." There was no emotion in Tang Yanshan's voice.
Tang Mingzhong looked at Tang Mingjing bitterly: "I...I am just a suggestion...Brother, don't blame me..."
"Say it." Tang Mingjing waved his hand feebly.
Tang Mingzhong took a deep breath: "I suggest that Yan'er be expelled from the house and the relationship be cleared before Prince Ling's Mansion takes action. This can slightly reduce the negative impact on our Tang family. By the way, make a condition with Prince Ling's Mansion and kill him.
Yan'er, you can, but you can only use warriors from the Wu Sect, and King Wu is absolutely not allowed to interfere. In this way, you can leave more or less a way for Yan'er to survive."
Tang Mingjing said angrily: "Isn't it the same as if you didn't say anything? Yan'er is only in the Martial Spirit Realm. Any Martial Sect can kill her without any need for the King of Martial Arts to do anything."
Tang Mingzhong smiled: "What else can we do? Ask them to only use third-level martial arts? They must have known about Yan'er's defeat of Dong Leiming, and they definitely won't just send some martial arts to deal with Yan'er? Besides, Tang
Yan has Alinda by his side, and she is a genuine second-level martial arts master. Since we are raising conditions, we have to raise some reasonable conditions, some conditions that they think are insignificant and can bring Yan'er a way out."
Tang Mingjing's anger turned into entanglement, then into pain and bitterness, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Tang Qian whispered: "My second brother can escape now, how can he escape for the rest of his life? The world is so chaotic, and he has provoked the Lingwang Mansion, he actually... won't live long."
Tang Mingjing sighed heavily: "If I had known that things would develop to this point, I shouldn't have let Yan'er attend any baptism with the academy!"
Tang Yanshan's eyes suddenly flashed with light. He hesitated for a long time and said: "For the sake of the whole family, I have to give up Yan'er. Mingjing, go talk to Chang Tianzhu. We are willing to expel Yan'er from the family and accept them in the Giant Elephant City." To intercept and kill Yan'er, the prerequisite is that no King of Martial warriors are used. Also... no matter what the outcome is and what kind of accident may occur, after this incident, Prince Ling's Mansion can no longer take any hostile actions against the Tang family. "
Tang Mingjing frowned: "Father, have you really thought it through?"
"That's it. I can't bury the entire Tang family with him just for him. Yan'er has grown up. If he survives this disaster, let him go to the outside world."
Tang Mingjing and Tang Mingzhong looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed feebly. At this moment, they hesitated, as if something was blocking their hearts, and they felt uncomfortable.
At dawn, Tang Mingjing went to Juxiang Academy in the dark, handed Zhou Linglu into their hands in person, and made it clear that he was willing to expel Tang Yan from the house.
Chang Tianzhu readily accepted the conditions and made it clear that he was willing to have good relations with the Tang family.
In fact, King Zhou Ling really wanted to uproot the Tang family, but the Tang family has a huge power in the Northern Wasteland, and the old family leader Tang Yanshan is a warrior-level powerhouse and has a deep influence in the empire. Once things are done, it will inevitably This caused a strong counterattack by the Tang family. By then, the Northern Wasteland would become the focus of the empire, and he would also be questioned by the royal family.
In order to preserve the secret, he could only do the next best thing, make a good relationship with the Tang family, shut their mouths, and get rid of the only evidence - Tang Yan! Du Yang! Alinda!
