Chapter 72: White Mist
Giant Elephant City, Tang Mansion!
Tang Qian knocked on Tang Mingjing's door and saluted respectfully: "Father." ”
Tang Mingjing put down the file in his hand and showed a rather relieved smile: "Qian'er, why do you have time to come to me today?"
"I just came back from the martial arts arena and saw that the light in the study was still on, so I came over to take a look. Has your father been troubled lately?"
"It's not because Yan'er's little bastard ran out quietly, and it was half a year after he left, and there was no news, so I was bloodied by your grandfather's dog. ”
"Second brother, he hasn't heard from him yet?"
"Yes, in the evening, the falcons sent out found their tracks on the outskirts of the psychedelic forest, and it is estimated that they will be back in a few days. "Tang Mingjing has nothing to do with Tang Yan, and now he is a little nostalgic for the old days, although he spends all his time drinking and making trouble everywhere, it is always a small matter, and it can always be settled lightly. It's good now, I don't tease the girl, I'm interested in monsters instead.
Tang Qian smiled and said, "It's good to come back, this time you have to keep an eye on him." ”
"I've arranged everything, and I'll let him go to the academy when I come back this time, so that those tutors can spend 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 them all back a few days ago, is there any tricky matter to deal with?" "The Tang family has an unwritten convention, the five major butchers perform their own duties, Tang Jun assists the old man, Tang Qiong is in charge of the internal affairs of Giant Elephant City, and Tang Ba, Tang Qing and Tang Hao are in charge of the family industry in other regions, as well as cleaning up some specific threats. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, the five butchers will not all gather in the family.
Tang Qian suddenly discovered this strange phenomenon a few days ago, not only Tang Ba came back, Tang Qing and Tang Hao also came back, except for the 'deceased' Tang Qiong, the four major butchers gathered in the family.
Something must have happened! This was the main purpose of his visit today, to try to get involved in the internal affairs of the family.
Tang Mingjing's expression was a little solemn: "Your grandfather felt a special energy fluctuation some time ago, similar to a supreme-level powerhouse, somewhere in our Giant Elephant City. ”
"Wu Zun?!" Tang Qian was taken aback.
"That's right, he is a powerhouse of the honorable level, and his aura is not weaker than your grandfather. We were worried that there would be some accidents, so we called Tang Ba, Tang Qing and Tang Hao back. ”
"Has the family provoked other forces recently?"
"It's not clear for the time being, take precautions, and be cautious in everything. In the last few days, the Giant Elephant City has been a little unpeaceful, if you are okay, stay home for the time being, don't move around. ”
"Well, I will, father, you rest early, don't be too tired. Tang Qian got up and said goodbye.
Tang Mingjing leaned back in his seat, and slowly climbed between his eyebrows to wipe his worries. Recently, strange powerhouses have frequently appeared in Giant Elephant City, and their appearance is suspicious, they have contacted the Yang family and the Li family, and have stayed in the Giant Elephant Academy, but they have never meant to visit the Tang family.
After careful investigation, the identity of this group of mysterious people has been preliminarily determined, and it turned out to be from the Spirit King Mansion of King Zhou Ling!
A venerable-level powerhouse, five king-level powerhouses, or more than a dozen powerful martial arts sects! Their sudden arrival made Tang Mingjing feel a bit of a crisis, who are they here for?
For Zhou Linglu!
Can...... Is that really just that?
Tang Mingjing thought carefully for a long time, vigilant and a little puzzled at the same time, half a year had passed, why didn't King Zhou Ling think of his daughter until now? Only then did he prepare to eliminate the hidden danger of the looting incident? Could it be that there was another hidden reason in it?
If this were not the case, King Zhou Ling suddenly sent such a powerful lineup and frequently contacted other families, was it just to discuss cooperation? Or did he simply want to target the Tang family? There is no reason! Although the Tang family's style of acting is a little arrogant, it has never touched the interests of the Spirit King's Mansion, and it is impossible to target the Tang family for no reason.
The most important point is that how can he be sure that Zhou Linglu is in the Tang family? As long as Tang Yanshan does not die, no one in this Great Zhou Empire will dare to come to the Tang family to be presumptuous!
Tang Mingjing was silent for a long time, and he couldn't find a clue, and his intuition was not simple to tell him about this matter.
Fortunately, Tang Ba and the others had already returned, no matter what King Zhou Ling wanted to do, he had to think twice!
What needs to be done now is to hide Zhou Linglu and not show any feet.
With a full heart, Tang Mingjing left the study and strolled forward along the gravel path.
The night is bleak and the white mist is vast, enveloping the heavens and the earth, infiltrating all things.
It's been a long time since I've taken a quiet walk, and I haven't seen this favorite wattle garden for a long time.
Since the Psychedelic Forest Raids, things have been going on almost one after the other, and there hasn't been a moment of leisure.
In fact, there is another annoying thing 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 original command of the mercenaries to intercept and kill Yan'er!
Tang Mingjing tore up the intelligence at that time, and even angrily reprimanded the random suspicion of the shadow of the intelligence, without real evidence, how could he be slandered at will, and he was still his favorite son!
But half a month has passed, but the report sheet has always lingered in my mind and has not been dispersed for a long time.
Tang Qian's harm to Tang Yan? Tang Mingjing was very reluctant to believe it, and he could not accept that the matter of fratricide had appeared in his family. But after careful consideration, I felt more and more that this possibility actually existed. Tang Qian is talented, sophisticated and decisive, and a little ruthless, which is recognized by everyone. Normally, this evaluation is a compliment, but when it comes to some sensitive matters, it has a special significance.
In the two months since Tang Yan returned home, his appearance has been too eye-catching, and he has won the love of his old father, and his edge has steadily overshadowed Tang Gan, who was once a 'proud son'! Under such circumstances, what will Tang Qian think? What will he do?
Tang Mingjing didn't dare to think about it deeply!
Yan'er will be back soon, this time she went to the psychedelic forest to experience for half a year, I don't know what kind of growth there will be, if you break through the second-order barrier and step into the third-order martial spirit, wouldn't you be able to compete with Qian'er?!
What about the relationship between these two children?
The more Tang Mingjing thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt, he took a deep breath, put aside these distracting thoughts, and prepared to go back to the room to sleep.
The family still values harmony!
But before I took a few steps, I was surprised to find today's fog...... Getting heavier?!
When I just left the study, the fog was thin and shallow, and there was a kind of poetic and painterly artistic conception in the bright moonlight, and it didn't take long for the fog to be so dense that I couldn't see my fingers, and I couldn't see anything in the white expanse.
The Tang family is imprisoned in a secret room.
Zhou Linglu curled up in the corner of the simple wooden bed, wrapped in chains, her skirt was tattered, and her face was expressionless in a daze. In just a few months, the once peerless Imperial County Lord was already emaciated, with messy hair, pale face, and almost no emaciation.
In the hierarchical Great Zhou Empire, privately imprisoning the imperial county lord is a felony of stealing the family and exterminating the clan!
The Tang family's approach obviously has the flavor of contempt for the empire, but Tang Yanshan has been crazy all his life, and he has never scrupled about anything, not to mention that this is the Tang family's secret room, and no one knows about it, so he will be imprisoned, which is understandable!
At the beginning, Zhou Linglu cried, made trouble, and struggled frantically, but the response she got was always silent, and she didn't even have the expected arraignment.
She had imagined that her father would soon come to her rescue, but she was repeatedly disappointed.
One month...... Two months...... Trimester......
Time passed day by day, quiet, quiet, still quiet, Zhou Linglu curled up alone on this wooden bed, no one came, as if the whole world had forgotten herself.
She hates! hates the Tang family!
But more than half a year of dark life has destroyed her body and mind, and even more consumed all her edges and corners. In the past, I always wanted to carry out tasks and enjoy passion and excitement, but now I want to go home, return to the palace, return to my own warm room, and take a comfortable hot bath.
In a trance, the slightest coolness infiltrated the body, and the spiritual power in the body flowed rapidly as if it was being pulled.
Zhou Linglu opened her eyes in a daze, and looked at the white fog in the cell that was getting thicker and thicker......
The white mist fluttered lightly, lingering around her fingertips.
Condensed into ice crystals, cool and real.
Really?!Zhou Linglu's delicate body trembled slightly, she was completely awake, and her shaking eyes looked at the thick fog fixedly.
This is the water curtain Tianhua!
At the same time, Tang Yanshan, who was in the forbidden place of the family, opened his vicissitudes of life, and a scorching aura burst out of his body, violent, manic, and instantly filled the stone room, dissipating all the white mist.
The aura was agitated, like a spatial ripple across the entire Tang Mansion compound, and the thick white mist was completely dispersed.
Suddenly, the thick white fog dissipated suddenly, and this abnormal situation made the people of the Tang family who noticed this scene full of doubts.
