222: The beautiful woman presents clothes, all poisons seal the soul
With Tang Yun's current status, dealing with the Marquis of Guiyi would be like a worm on a tree, and the final result would be to suffer a loss.
Coupled with Ou Yang's words, Tang Yun was 80% sure that Gui Yihou would definitely not pay the balance as promised.
If Tang Yun was so foolish as to agree, then after he finished his work, the Marquis of Guiyi would turn his back and deny the person, and then write to the court to exaggerate what Tang Yun had done in Leihuo Prefecture.
Just one thing to say: make the best use of everything.
The emperor will definitely keep Tang Yun in Leihuo Prefecture and will not give him another chance to transfer him back to his old home in Longyang County.
As a result, no one in Longyang County made the decision. If he, Marquis Guiyi, added fuel to the flames at the right time and made clear Ouyang's relationship with Tang Yun, it would be logical to transfer her there.
From beginning to end, it was only Tang Yun who suffered.
Ouyang went to a safe place to retire as he wished, while Marquis Guiyi only paid the price of a pill and successfully found out the truth and avenged the bastard.
What a profound calculation, but it's a pity that Tang Yun didn't let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit.
Abandon Longyang County?
No problem, Tang Yun doesn't intend to support himself with troops. With his strength and progress, it will be a matter of time before he is transferred there, but until he leaves, Longyang County is still his territory.
So, if you want to make him give up, then give him money.
Otherwise~
Don't forget that Longyang County belongs to him, and he also proposed the Warrior Academy. Since Tang Yun is sure of taking care of that place, he is also sure of turning it into a mess.
It's easier to destroy than to create, isn't it?
Glancing at the closed study door, a cold smile appeared on Tang Yun's lips: "It's too slow. I've given you a chance, Nie Yu. There's nothing you can do if it doesn't work."
Nie Yu has not yet figured out the skills left by the city lord, which belong to the seventh-level acupoint-opening realm of Yuehua Tiangu, and Tang Yun's strength has improved far beyond ordinary people.
Breaking through to the Acupoint Opening Realm seems to be just around the corner. Since it is so simple... borrow the hands of Gui Yihou to get the most famous Acupoint Opening Realm technique in the imperial court.
Now that Tang Yun has reached the eighth rank, some people in the court already know it, and it doesn't matter if he reveals it to Marquis Guiyi. Before he sees the real person, he will only think that this is Tang Yun's preparation for the future.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he dared to guess that Tang Yun had broken through to the seventh level, so what?
If he dares to say it, others must also dare to believe it.
If you want to say that Tang Yun is at the eighth level, it is somewhat believable, but at the seventh level... I'm afraid you just want to eat it.
Who in the world can move up a level every year?
When did martial arts become so easy?
——
Tang Yun was not in a hurry. When he took office, he didn't go into too much detail in the document. He just said that it would be a year or so, so it didn't matter if he was delayed for a month or two.
Therefore, he lived here openly.
A few days later.
Tuk Tuk~
Tang Yun and Ou Yang were drinking tea in the courtyard when the housekeeper suddenly came over and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Tsk~, the little girl is chasing me." Ouyang knocked on the table and said to him with a smile: "Do you want me to find an excuse for you to avoid it?"
Tang Yun glanced at her and smiled calmly: "I asked myself, I didn't do anything to regret her, right? Why hide like a thief?"
"Hey~" Ouyang waved his hand to the housekeeper somewhat boredly, gesturing for her to bring the person over.
Not long after, two women with completely different styles, one tall and one small, came up, one was cold and quiet, the other was heroic, and she was holding a sledgehammer in her hand.
The former is Zhang Chuyu, and the latter is naturally a strange woman, Xuan Ziyi, the master of Xuanyun Palace.
Tang Yun stood up, cupped his hands, and waved his hand: "Long time no see. Palace Master, you are fine. Please sit down."
Xuan Ziyi put the sledgehammer aside casually, sat down with a golden sword, and said with a smile but not a smile: "Hey, if this palace lord hadn't been in Tianhai County, I might have really thought that Mr. Tang is the princess here."
Tang Yun smiled and stabbed the other person slowly: "Why did the palace master say this? Oh... I forgot that Xuanyun Palace no longer exists, and there is only Xuanyun Academy."
There is no resentment, her personality is somewhat similar to Qin Yuanxue, so Tang Yun doesn't have much difficulty getting along with her. This kind of conversation is more like a joke between bad friends.
After exchanging a few complimentary words, Xuan Ziyi suddenly sighed: "I still remember, the last time you came to Tianhai County, you took away my mother's apprentice's heart when you left. We were treated with admiration after three days apart. Who could have guessed that you have now reached this level?"
The Tongmai Realm is truly the most talented person in the world."
Tang Yun filled the tea and looked at Zhang Chuyu calmly: "Don't talk nonsense. If he really took away her heart, would she still be sitting still like this?"
Xuan Ziyi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "You weren't here later, how did you know that Chu Yu was crying every day?"
"Master~" The corner of Zhang Chuyu's mouth twitched, and a glow appeared on her jade face. Even if she grows up, no one would like to be exposed in front of her, and she, a girl, is no exception.
"Okay, okay, master, I won't say anything anymore."
Xuan Ziyi rubbed her head and responded lovingly. When she looked at Tang Yun again, she changed the topic: "I have something to ask of you, sir."
"Should your Excellency say this to Mr. Ou?" Tang Yun was a little confused.
"No, it's you."
Xuan Ziyi shook her head and said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask your Lordship to allow us to send some warriors to serve in Longyang County and open a Xuanyun branch."
"Interesting." Tang Yun gave her and Ouyang a meaningful look, gesturing for her to continue.
Sure enough, when she saw that Tang Yun was not in a hurry and didn't even show any pretense of refusing or agreeing, Xuan Ziyi's eyes flashed with helplessness and she gave Zhang Chuyu a wink.
Zhang Chuyu was stunned for a moment, and then his pretty face turned red. Qiqi Ai Ai slowly took out a folded black cloak from the package he carried with him, and said hesitantly: "This, this is silk spun by the Ice Soul Silkworm Demon
, I knit it with my own hands.
Mr. Wen is going to Leihuo State, where the climate is hot and dry. Although warriors are not afraid of cold and heat, it is more convenient to wear this piece of clothing than to circulate the true energy.
Moreover, this thing is not only invulnerable to cold and heat, but also has extraordinary defensive effects. It can be used to restrain the monsters in Leihuo State. I hope you will accept it."
Tang Yun took the clothes, and his fingertips felt silky and cold when he touched them. He stood up and threw them on his body, only to find that the size was quite suitable...
"You really have good intentions. Even if you are so kind, I can't bear to ignore his good intentions."
Tang Yun acted vigorously and resolutely, beckoning his servants to get pen and ink, picked up the pen and wrote a secret letter, stamped it and handed it to Xuan Ziyi: "I wonder what your name is? Imperial court or private?"
After exchanging glances with Ouyang, Xuan Ziyi smiled slightly: "It's the former."
"Good." Tang Yun then released his fingers from pressing on the letter and raised his glass with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Xuan Ziyi put it away, breathed a sigh of relief, raised her glass and drank it in one gulp.
Tang Yun turned his gaze to Ouyang: "How is Mr. Ou doing?"
Ouyang smiled: "There will be news soon. The wrestling between blood coagulation realm warriors is still extremely fast."
"I hope so." Tang Yun nodded and did not ask again.
——
Ten days later.
Tang Yun got on the carriage and said goodbye to Ouyang and others happily.
He lay lazily in the carriage, pulled out the panel and looked at it, with a smile on his lips: "Marquis Guiyi? I'm really curious about the background of that bastard mother, which makes you miss her so much."
Tang Yun was a little surprised by Guiyi Hou's frankness. He thought that even if the other party would agree, he would still bargain, but who would have thought that he would be so frank.
Originally, Tang Yun thought that there was something wrong with the elixir or the technique, but after asking someone to check it, he found that there was no problem. This not only did not dispel his doubts, but made his curiosity even more intense.
He became a little curious about the origin of that bastard Marquis Guiyi, or that bastard mother.
What kind of woman deserves to be so deeply remembered by Marquis Guiyi?
"Interesting, I'll have some fun this time." Tang Yun smiled, looking through the crack in the window and looking at the scenery outside, feeling lost in thought.

The effect of the elixir lived up to expectations. It was indeed a treasure made from rare things. After refining, it brought him two points of physical improvement. Now he is only two physical points away from reaching the acupuncture point realm.
Just a stone's throw away.
As long as a copy is triggered, Tang Yun can reach a new level.
Zhang Wei's voice suddenly sounded: "Sir, there is a village ahead. Should we go there to rest today?"
"Yes." Tang Yun responded, opened the car curtain and looked out, just in time to see the faint smoke from the kitchen in the distance.
Now they have left Tianhai County and are in a mountain range, which is the junction of Tianhai County and Leihuo State. After passing here, they have completely reached the boundary of Leihuo State.
Next, Tang Yun had to go to the prefectural city to report, and then he could go to Xianghuo County. Now he could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature had risen.
Correspondingly, the surrounding vegetation is becoming increasingly scarce, and those that can survive are those that are more drought-tolerant.
The forbidden area here is called Thunder Flame Hell. Unlike other forbidden areas, the forbidden area is completely an active volcano group, and there are eruptions from time to time.
The volcano in the center is where the Balrog was suppressed. There used to be no volcanoes.
However, with the fall of the Balrog, the spilled demon blood and broken true body, coupled with the demonic energy rushing through the sky, gradually turned this place into a terrifying active volcanic area.
Many of the creatures living nearby have been soaked in demon blood and turned into monsters with flames all over their bodies. From the surface, they are actually very similar to the so-called Fire Demon Hell in Western fantasy mythology.
Squeak.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the village. Zhang Wei apologized, got off the car and went into the village to communicate with the village chief. After a while, he came up sweating profusely and drove the carriage to a remote earthen yard.
Zhang Wei opened the car curtain: "Sir, we are here, get off the car?"
"Um."
When Tang Yun walked out of the carriage, he felt a wave of heat coming towards his face, and the large cloak on his body emitted a burst of coolness, blocking the heat wave. It was magical.
An old man with a cane, a slight hunchback, and white beard and hair came forward and said: "Sir, this little old man is the head of this village. I will have food for you later. The house is simple and in poor condition. I hope you can understand me."
indivual."
Tang Yun smiled, took the money from Zhang Wei, and put it in the village chief's hand: "It doesn't matter, it's a blessing to have a shelter from the wind and rain when you go out. Why should you pay so much attention to it?"
"Thank you, thank you so much, sir." Feeling the weight of the silver, the village chief couldn't help but feel a little excited, and bowed repeatedly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tang Yun dismissed: "Village chief, please go and do your work. Let's clean up first."
The village chief nodded, turned around three times and said, "Then, the little old man will bring the food later."
"Then it's time to work." Tang Yun nodded with a smile, turned around and entered the house.
Zhang Wei came over with his baggage and sighed: "Sir, the conditions here are poor, so we can only make do with it."
"Tsk, I can't do it." Tang Yun shook his head and sat casually on a chair, looking at the surrounding furnishings with wandering eyes: "This place is interesting."
"Huh? What did you find, sir?" Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment and then became serious.
Tang Yun said faintly: "That villager looks a little strange. His face looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, but the skin on his hands is very different. It looks more like the skin of a middle-aged man."
"Sir, what do you mean, he is in disguise?" Zhang Wei felt a sudden thought and subconsciously grasped the weapon.
The corners of Tang Yun's lips curled up, he stood up and walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "Not only is he pretending, but he is not a good person. He has exposed too many flaws.
The village chief looked shabby, but his lining was made of silk. In a small, remote village, how could an old man over fifty years old be able to travel far and travel across mountains and rivers to a prosperous place to buy such luxury goods?
If you really have such ability, why would you still stay in this poor place? Wouldn't it be better to just settle there? There are many other things that don't make sense."
Zhang Wei is about to go out: "How about I go..."
Tang Yun shook his head: "Don't worry, they have already set up the stage. It would be too much for you to ruin the stage without waiting for them to start singing. Why don't you sit down and wait patiently to see what play they want to sing."
He was really curious, could he have inadvertently provoked another enemy?
It's a pity that Tang Yun searched his mind and found that he had many potential enemies, but none of them had any reason to kill him in this situation.
Since there is no past, could it be the future?
Tang Yun changed his mind and soon thought of one thing - the death of Yuan Fenglong.
Ouyang said, and also mentioned in that letter, that Yuan Fenglong, the illegitimate son of Marquis Guiyi, died in an unknown manner, which is very strange. If so, could it be... haha.
Life is truly full of surprises.
…
The village chief left here and got into a house. His rickety body instantly became upright, and he laughed and said: "Boss, the arrangements are made."
The big man nodded with a sinister smile and said: "Okay, we will poison the food later. After they finish eating, we will attack them in groups after the poison is released in the middle of the night."
A subordinate came over and asked with some confusion: "Captain, is Tang Yun worthy of using Ten Thousand Poison Soul-Sealing Powder? We got this thing with great difficulty."
