Chapter 40: Threats
It was nearly dawn before there was a knock at the door. Tang Chao glanced at his sister, who was already asleep, and gently got up and walked out.
"Young Master Tang, the assassins have all been killed. Lord Banner, please come to the study and talk. One of the guards bowed.
Tang Chao nodded and walked towards the study. It's just that he didn't just sigh in his heart: the dignified Martial King was dressed as an ordinary guard, responsible for informing and guarding the door.
Passing through the courtyard, a row of black-clad corpses lay on the ground, guarded by a group of guards. Tang Chao glanced at it, didn't stop under his feet, and walked over directly.
"Here, sit down. Unexpectedly, in this troubled autumn, the old man's afterlife has been implicated. The old man orange in the study said slowly.
"Who is so bold?" asked Tang Chao with an unsuspecting expression.
"Heh, apart from the City Lord's Mansion, who else has the courage to do this. Old, really old. I heard that the second child is also missing, and eighty percent of them will not come back. These eight flags seem to be in chaos. The orange old man sighed, looked at the teacup on the table, and said. His tired face seemed to be really much older.
"It's all the kid who caused trouble, and the old man was affected. Tang Chao said.
"Don't get in the way, even if it doesn't have you, I'm afraid Black Flag will do it. For so many years, there have been a lot of open and secret battles. I called you here to remind you to be careful. Xiao Feng has been arrogant and domineering for many years, and he is the most intolerable, I am afraid that he will do something to you. As long as I am alive for a day, he will not dare to touch you openly, beware of hidden arrows. The orange old man waved his hand and asked Tang Chao to step back.
"The boy went out first. Tang Dynasty withdrew from the study, feeling quite strange in his heart. He sensed that the old man orange was indeed a little lacking in qi and blood. Could it be that he was really exhausted and wanted to find a successor to protect the orange flag? Tang Chao was puzzled, shook his head and went back to his courtyard.
Looking at the newly replaced Danfang door, Tang Chao did not rush in. With a flick of his fingers, a porcelain vase appeared in his hand. A burst of white powder was gently sprinkled out and scattered around the doorway. Soon, three rows of faint footprints appeared on the ground, two in and one out. Tang Chao waved his hand lightly, and a strong wind blew away the thin powder of medicine. Before leaving, he sprinkled a special potion on the ground, which would be dry, colorless and odorless in a few moments.
Tang Chao slowly walked into the Dan room, took the pills in the Dan furnace, and put them directly on the table. After doing this, he was already exhausted, and immediately fainted, and fell asleep in bed.
After a long time, a shadow slowly enlarged from the ground in the corner of the wall, and finally formed a human figure. The figure glanced at Tang Chao on the bed, and finally gently picked up the three pills on the table and walked towards the door. From the beginning of the capture of the Assassins, the additional guards standing outside the window did not know anything.
Tang Chao heard a slight knock on the door, he opened his eyes and slowly closed them, and even his breath did not change in the slightest.
"Young Master Tang, Young Master Tang ......" After Tang Dynasty woke up in the morning, he sat on the bed and cultivated. Near noon, shouts were heard outside.
After the Tang Dynasty finished his work, he glanced at the pill on the table and put it in the jade bottle, and deliberately put it in his arms. After doing this, Tang Chao pushed the door and walked out, looked at the person who came and said, "What's the matter? ”
Wan Jin was stunned for a moment, looked at the smiling Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly replied: "Young Master Tang, you are a little tormented." The adults asked you to go to the front room, and it is said that a guest came and asked to see you by name. ”
"It can alarm the old man, it seems that the origin is not small. Tang Chao said and walked slowly towards the front hall.
Wan Jin followed behind Tang Chao, watching his unhurried steps, and couldn't help but look helpless.
"Yo, isn't this the city lord, how can you have time to visit our Afterlife Mansion?" As soon as Tang Chao entered the door, he saw Xiao Feng, who was wearing civilian clothes, sitting opposite the orange old man, and asked with a smile.
"Brother Tang, I haven't seen you for some days. Another voice came from the side, directly interrupting Xiao Feng, who wanted to speak.
"The owner of the green flag, I don't know that the owner of the flag is coming, and I am far away. Tang Dynasty turned to one side, only to see the elegant man in Tsing Yi, bowed and said.
"You're welcome. I heard that there were assassins in your mansion last night, so I came over to take a look. I happened to bring two guards with me, and I lent them to you. Tsing Yi smiled and took the folding fan, and nodded at the two young men in Tsing Yi at the door.
"How embarrassing is this...... Tang Chao waved his hand and continued: "Don't accept it." Thank you for your kindness. ”
"Tsing Yi, you are slapping the old man in the face. The old man orange sat on the throne and said with a smile.
"At first sight, Qing is also a person who loves talents. Tsing Yi Yashi slapped the folding fan in his hand twice.
"Qingqi Lord, I'm afraid this is not very good, the palace master's meaning, I'm afraid it's different, right?" Xiao Feng put down the teacup at this time and said.
"That's what Big Brother means. I'll stay soon, you talk. Tsing Yi said with a smile, got up and walked to Tang Chao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "When you walk at night in the future, you must see clearly." ”
"The teachings of the Blue Banner Lord, the kid remembered. It's a little bit of caution. Tang Chao took out a bottle of pill that had just been baked last night from his arms and handed it over.
Tsing Yi smiled and turned to leave, and a person came out behind him and took the jade bottle in Tang Chao's hand.
"By the way, I don't know if City Lord Xiao came over this time, what advice do you have?" Tang Chao looked at Xiao Feng directly from the original seat of Tsing Yi, ripped off the hem of his clothes, and then asked.
"I'm here to bring a message to the owner of the orange flag. The bones of the Blue Banner Lord were found on the boulder slope in the north of the city, and he died from a sword wound. The palace master passed the word, on the occasion of sacrificing to the sky, life and death have a fate, and the destiny of heaven returns. I hope that the orange flag lord will mourn and prepare by the way to prevent the bad guys from sneaking up. ”
"Life and death have a life, hehe, a good life and death. Bingyun and the old man are like brothers, he is my younger brother. We have fallen into this desert land together, and now that his bones are still cold, the old man will not stop there. The old orange man smiled sadly, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. He got up and carried a long jade stick and walked slowly back to the inner courtyard.
"Private matters should be looking for me, right? Tell me, what's the matter, how are you going to settle it?" Tang Chao leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, looked at Xiao Feng and asked.
"The Blue Flag Lord Bingyun appeared in the Sealed Land with the Orange Flag Lord at the beginning. A hundred years later, they inherited the Blue Flag and the Orange Flag, respectively. As the owner of the orange flag said, they are like brothers. Xiao Feng drank tea and said slowly. "And his brother died on the boulder slope, and you went there that night and took my things. ”
"Aren't you afraid, he suspects that you killed his brother?" asked Tang Chao.
"If you don't know the roots, you can at least know eight or nine points. The Orange Banner Lord knows that I don't have the ability to kill the Blue Flag Lord with the Eighteen Guards. But you're different, you can sneak attack. As soon as you came to Tianshui City, you killed a group of Jianghu people. Coincidentally, the corpse was still there, placed with Bingyun. In case, if there is anything in common with the wounds, I am afraid it will be difficult to say. The main thing is, you seem to have reached the Martial King, right? ”
"What do you want?" Tang Chao asked lightly.
