Chapter 242: Poisoning
Half a month later, Tang Lang was finally able to get up from the bed with his own strength, and he was still a little afraid when he recalled the battle of that day.
Under the threat of Li Jingsheng, everyone around them pointed the finger at Tang Lang, the most threatening of which was the two teams of Xuanjia Army under the command of Quan Yang and Gao Cailiang.
Although Tang Lang, who was blessed by the power of blood, could see through everyone's attack lines, it did not mean that his body could withstand such a tragic battle, at most he could only avoid some deadly attacks, and after a few moves, he had been torn like a tattered puppet, and blood gushed out from all over his body.
In the end, Tang Lang, who had nothing to do, could only turn on the power of time, dodged several attacks without permission, and the whole person rose into the sky, looked at the direction, and fled towards the side of the left Xiaowei camp.
In mid-air, Tang Lang could barely dodge any attacks, relying on his eyesight to continuously send out various martial arts spells to defuse the attacks on the ground one by one, and he also had to be distracted to observe Li Jingsheng's actions.
If not, just when Tang Lang was only more than ten zhang away from the ground, the other party was really ready to drive the spell of shifting and transposing-Dou Zhuan Xing Shift.
Just when the other party was halfway released, Tang Lang's legs widened, and the whole person accelerated towards the ground, and at the same time turned on the power of time again, which avoided the attack of the opponent's spell.
But because of his best efforts to dodge the Dou Zhuan Xingxing, Tang Lang was no longer able to dodge the attacks of others, "Poof...... Poof" twice, two sharp arrows with spiritual light pierced through his chest, and when he fell to the ground, he broke into several pieces and broke several adjacent ribs, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Li Jingsheng made a look, and one of his subordinates wanted to rush in and catch Tang Lang, but a thunderous roar came from a distance: "Who dares to make trouble on my left Xiaowei?" A sturdy figure flickered in, blocking Tang Lang behind him.
"Check ...... Lord Cha!" When Quan Yang and Gao Cailiang saw that the other party was Zha Hongtu, they unconsciously wanted to dodge, where did they dare to be presumptuous.
Li Jingsheng was unwilling to fail, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Zha Qianhu, even if Tang Lang has entered the Zuo Xiaowei camp, he has not yet handed over the seal letter, so the test is not over yet, please don't intervene." ”
He saw that Tang Lang was already paralyzed on the ground motionless, and deliberately squeezed Zha Hongtu to prevent him from blocking it, and at this moment, a faint voice came: "Boss Cha, I have already taken the seal letter, please check it!"
Tang Lang actually woke up, sat up strongly, took out the mission seal letter from the ring, and handed it out tremblingly, as weak as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
Zha Hongtu was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly: "Good boy, from now on, you are the head of the ten households of my Zuo Xiaowei, if anyone dares to bully you again, he will not give me face, he will never let him go, and he will fight to the end!"
Behind him, there was a majestic call sign from Sergeant Zuo Xiaowei: "Knock to the end, knock to the end......"
Tang Lang was still reminiscing about the scene of that day, but was interrupted by a knock on the door: "Who? Come in by yourself, the door is open!"
The door opened, and Shen Zilan walked in with a bowl of steaming soup, and said softly: "Today's complexion is much better, and after a few days of cultivation, you should be able to recover!"
Tang Lang turned over and sat up, although there was still some faint pain in his chest and abdomen, but it was no big deal, he drank the thick soup in three or two sips, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The soup cooked by Zilan is really delicious, it is even more effective than the elixir, my waist doesn't hurt anymore, my back is not sore, and everyone is in good spirits!"
"Poor mouth!" Shen Zilan's eyes were full of doting smiles, since the third daughter knew that Tang Lang was seriously injured because of the test, she immediately came to visit, but because of Zhao Feiyu's special status, Hang Xiaoyu had to take care of the entire Chamber of Commerce, so she was the only one left to take care of Tang Lang's injuries and diet.
"Dali, what are they doing these days?" Tang Lang put down the soup bowl and asked casually.
"A few of them, they train with Brother Hu and them every day, don't worry about it, hurry up and heal your injuries! Every time you work so hard, do you know how worried we will be......" These days, no matter what Tang Lang says, within three sentences, Shen Zilan will be rounded to the conclusion that he is worried and afraid.
Tang Lang knew that the third daughter cared about him, stood up and hugged her in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Zilan, I promise you, I will not be so reckless in the future, in fact, this time it is ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Zilan: "I understand, you are also forced to do so, but you must know that if you are injured, there will be three people who will suffer as much as you, so no matter what you do, you must remember that there are still us!"
Tang Lang's heart warmed, and he held Shen Zilan tightly in his arms before parting for a long time.
"Well, that's right! Master Cha asked you to go to him!" Shen Zilan remembered the purpose of this trip and hurriedly informed Tang Lang.
Tang Lang wondered in his heart, since he began to recuperate, Zha Hongtu had only come to visit once, and there were no other arrangements, why did he suddenly pass the word today, I don't know why, with the support of Shen Zilan, he moved to Zha Hongtu's usual office step by step.
Seeing Tang Lang coming, Zha Hongtu put down the file he was reviewing, looked up and down, nodded and said, "Yes, the body is recovering quickly! What are your plans for the future?"
Tang Lang pointed his fingers, and said slowly: "First, I haven't received Dabi's reward yet, I will pick the spirit weapon and martial arts spell in a few days, and second, I don't know when the Dragon Pool will open, what I need to do now is to improve my cultivation quickly, otherwise I won't be so miserable this time!"
"Is that all?" Zha Hongtu stared at him with interest.
"In the end, it is to settle the accounts slowly! No matter how big the forces are behind it, the Peng family, the Wu family, and the Li family, I will take back the debts you owe one by one! Brother Mantis is not a master who can be manipulated at will, I am a hedgehog!" Tang Lang said word by word.
"In this test, they did go too far, and I support you to retaliate, but there is one thing, don't make too much of a fuss, just save face! After all, those are the pillars of the empire and cannot be easily shaken!" Zha Hongtu instructed.
"Also, the Dragon Pool you just said is ready, just waiting for you to recover, the emperor has already sent someone to urge you a few times, you know what to do!" Zha Hongtu couldn't help but wink at Tang Lang when he spoke, so that he could comprehend.
After going back, the lights in Tang Lang's hut were not extinguished all night, and the next day there was bad news.
"Do you know? The leader of the Imperial Dabi was actually poisoned on the blade during the test of joining the Xuanjia Army, and the poison has caused his injuries to worsen in the past few days, and his life may be worrying!"
"What's more, my eldest uncle's second cousin's cousin's son, who was on an errand in the Xuanjia Army, is said to be at the scene at the time, I don't know why, this test has changed a little, it's all ruthless, that one is called Tang or something, his face is covered with blood, and his stomach is pierced, not to mention how ......miserable it is."
Similar rumors spread in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, and they became more and more intense, and finally even Emperor Liu Wei heard about it: "It's so bold!
And the initiators behind it, Wu Shi and Peng, were also a little flustered.
Peng Anyan hurriedly found Peng Mingde to discuss: "Uncle, I asked Quanyang and them for help at that time, but I just said that I was a little heavy, and I didn't arrange poisoning at all, I don't know what happened, it will evolve like this!"
Peng Mingde also had a gloomy face, he had just been complained about by his old friend Li Jingsheng, and he was so angry that he suddenly jumped like thunder: "It's not all because of the trouble caused by your kid! Dealing with an ant, making such a big disturbance, it really makes Peng's shame!"
"Uncle, please stop your anger!" Peng Anyan was completely panicked, knelt on the ground, and pleaded bitterly.
"You contacted Quanyang and these people at that time, did you go in person, or did you send your subordinates?" asked Peng Mingde in a gloomy voice.
Peng Anyan calmed down, and recounted the experience of the time word for word: "It was my subordinates who came forward, and my uncle told me at that time that I couldn't show my head by myself!"
"Well, it's not stupid to go home!" Peng Mingde twisted his beard and said: "Now I can only sacrifice these chess pieces, lose the car to protect the handsome, and let them take the blame! And warn them that if they dare to talk nonsense, their families will not be able to save their lives!"
With several major clans operating behind the scenes, things quickly came to a conclusion: Quan Yang, Gao Cailiang and others deliberately intervened in the enlistment test because they were jealous of Tang Lang's talent, and Li Jingsheng was deceived into participating in politics and was removed from the post of head of ten households and demoted to an ordinary sergeant, while Li Jingsheng did not know people clearly, was used, and was fined for three years.
Tang Lang, who knew the result, sneered twice: "Shake the pot crisply and beautifully! However, this is not over......
The next day, the emperor sent someone to visit Tang Lang's injury, and once again euphemistically expressed his intention to open the Dragon Pool as soon as possible, but Tang Lang was still seriously injured and needed a lot of rare spirit grass to recover.
It didn't take long for a dense list to be placed in front of the Wu family and the Peng family, so angry that Peng Mingde almost overturned the table, Tang Lang made it clear that he wanted to take the opportunity to extort benefits, but the emperor ignored it, and the intention of sending the list was also obvious, that is, to ask them to hurry up and pay for it.
No matter how reluctant they were, Wu and Peng could only pinch their noses and admit it, prepare the spirit grass listed on the list, and send it to Zuo Xiaowei's camp.
It may be that these spirit grasses really have magical effects, Tang Lang announced to the public the next day that he had recovered from his injuries and was ready to enter the Dragon Pool at any time, and gave the other party a resounding slap in the face.
Therefore, Peng Anyan, who was severely scolded by the family, had already hated it to the bone, and roared with blood-red eyes to the sky: "Tang Lang, I don't share the sky with you, I won't take revenge, and I won't be a man!" You think that the Dragon Pool is a great opportunity, you really think that you can soar into the sky, I want to turn the Dragon Pool into a tomb to bury you!"
