Chapter 35: Surfacing
The next day, Wang Dali returned home early and brought some breakfast for Tang Xu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Tang Xu had no appetite, so he only ate a few chopsticks and put it down.
"Boss, why don't you eat a little, your body is important." The king urged him.
"Lan Jun's whereabouts are still unknown, how can you tell me to eat it." Tang Xu felt that Wang Dali was a little too calm.
"Don't worry, I'll be investigating that yard today." Wang Dali said in a good voice.
"How can you be so calm? When you finish investigating, I don't know what will happen to Lan Jun, I really don't understand. Tang Xu still couldn't help but vent, Wang Dali was stunned, sighed, and was still silent.
"Forget it, I'll find it myself." Tang Xu lost his temper.
"Owner, you can't go by yourself, it's too dangerous." Wang vigorously dissuaded.
"I'm dangerous, am I in danger of Lan Jun?" Tang Xu almost roared.
"The owner, I promise you, even if I lose my own life, I will definitely bring Lan Jun back intact." Wang Dali immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Xu three times.
"Who wants you to pay for your life? I want you all to be well! Tang Xu seemed to have been generalized, and he was speechless.
"Owner, you must rest assured, I won't let Lan Jun have an accident." Wang Dali knelt straight.
"Get up, I'm dizzy too." Tang Xu was very ashamed, it was clear that Wang Dali was no longer his servant, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Yes." Wang Dali got up and told Tang Xu that he had something to do, but Tang Xu nodded and let him go.
"Boss, what do you think this is?" Before Wang Dali left the yard, he saw a short arrow in the yard and was nailed to the tree in the courtyard, this is not an ordinary thing, so he hurried back to find Tang Xu.
"Do you see who it is?" Tang Xu was startled when he saw the short arrow.
"I don't see it." Wang shook his head vigorously.
"Tea." Tang Xu took off the note tied to the arrow, and there was only one word on it.
"Sure enough, it's because of this." The mystery was finally revealed, but Tang Xu's heart was panicked, he couldn't bear to see those people who had drug addiction go bankrupt and die in pain, and he didn't want Lan Jun to be in danger because of himself.
"It's so hateful, for the sake of money, I don't care about other people's lives." Tang Xu hatefully crumpled the note and threw it to the ground.
"Let's go to that tea shop." Tang Xu stood up suddenly.
"Yes." Wang Dali didn't stop him this time, since he had already shown his hole cards, he just wanted Tang Xu to find the past, it was impossible not to let Tang Xu go over, and he could only protect his safety with all his heart.
Tang Xu and Wang Dali got into the carriage and hurried to the tea shop, and when they arrived at their destination, the dilapidated gate was still closed. Tang Xu walked over, stretched out his hand and just wanted to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself with a babble. There was a person standing inside the door, and Tang Xu didn't know him.
"Tang Gongzi?" The man asked.
"I'm Tang Xu." Tang Xu said angrily.
"Tang Gongzi, the little one has been waiting here for a long time, please come inside." The man opened the door for Tang Xu and behaved very respectfully. Tang Xu looked at him again in surprise, secretly raised his vigilance, and led Wang Dali into the door.
"But Tang Gongzi is here?" As soon as Tang Xu stepped into the courtyard, a pretentious woman's voice sounded inside.
"Who?" Tang Xu stopped and looked left and right.
"Let's go inside, it's cold outside." Still only hearing the sound and seeing no one, Tang Xu thought about it and walked into a room in front of him with the curtain ajar. The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, Tang Xu decided to follow her first.
"Tang Gongzi, please take a seat." The light in the room was very dim, and there was a woman sitting in the shadows, and Tang Xu couldn't see her face.
"Who are you?" Tang Xu tried hard to see her clearly.
"We met for the first time today." The woman leaned against the small table, her posture quite amorous. However, Tang Xu was so focused on Lan Jun that he had no intention of looking at it.
"But I was fortunate to witness Tang Gongzi's demeanor a while ago." The woman's tone was extremely ambiguous, and Tang Xu was about to get goosebumps when he heard it.
"You were in the yard at the time." Tang Xu used a declarative sentence, he had already guessed that when he and He Xiaochuan entered the hospital, this woman must have been there, but he couldn't understand why he was targeted.
"Exactly." The woman simply admitted.
"It is inevitable that people will be curious when they appear with a fresh face, but at that time, I didn't know that Tang Gongzi's medical skills were so skillful." The woman continued.
"Oh." It turned out that Tang Xu was thinking too much, but this was not the point.
"Since Tang Gongzi is here, he must have seen the message I left." The woman said.
"Where is Lan Jun?" Tang Xu didn't want to continue this boring conversation anymore and went straight to the point.
"In less than a day, the entire Lanzhou City has been turned over, and Tang Gongzi is really an anxious person." The woman laughed.
"What the hell do you want?" Tang Xu was very crazy and wanted to go up and pinch the woman's neck.
"Sure enough, it's an urgent child, I still want to talk to Tang Gongzi more." The woman stood up and walked slowly forward.
Tang Xu watched her gradually come out of the shadows, such a beautiful woman, about 20 years old. Every move is full of charm, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are a little sharp.
"Tang Gongzi is really handsome and chic, which makes the little girl fall in love at first sight." The woman threw a wink at Tang Xu, Tang Xu was a little panicked, and quickly avoided her eyes.
"Don't beat around the bush, you have something to say." Wang Dali's words broke this strange atmosphere. Tang Xu came to his senses in an instant and secretly scolded himself for being unproductive.
"It's a disappointment." The woman glanced at Wang Dali, but Wang Dali's angry gaze also made her restrain a lot.
"Hey, I invited Tang Gongzi over because I wanted to make a deal with Tang Gongzi." The woman was coquettish.
"What a sale." Tang Xu asked.
"This deal is just a gesture for Tang Gongzi." The woman clapped her hands, and at this moment a man came in from outside the door, carrying a large plate, covered with a blue cloth, and beneath the blue cloth there seemed to be something bulging.
"What is this?" Tang Xu looked at the plate.
"A little greeting is not a tribute." The woman lifted the covered blue cloth, and down was a plate full of gold and jewels.
"Do you want me to stop treating tea poison for the people of Lanzhou City?" Tang Xu asked.
"Tang Gongzi is really smart, and he is really likable." The woman put her hand on Tang Xu's shoulder, so frightened that he stepped back.
"As long as Tang Gongzi agrees to this deal, I will prepare more thanks, or Tang Gongzi can also want something else." The woman's whole body was about to stick to Tang Xu.
"If I don't save him from death, I can't do it." Tang Xu was very flustered, but he still rejected her.
"Then I want to ask Tang Gongzi, is it more important to those who are looking for death by themselves, or is it more important to be as handsome as a little girl?" The woman was even more energetic.
"The owner." Wang Dali suddenly stopped Tang Xu and gave him a look.
"You... Let me think about it. Tang Xu hesitated and looked at Wang Dali, for fear that he would say the wrong thing.
"Of course you can, but I don't have a lot of patience, Tang Gongzi don't think about it for too long." The woman's face changed slightly, and she returned to her chair and sat down.
"I want to see Lan Jun." Tang Xu said to the woman.
"Not yet, but that little brother is born with a pitiful appearance, and I am reluctant to hurt him, but if Tang Gongzi makes me wait too long, it will be difficult to say." The woman was still languid.
"If I can't see Lan Jun today, I won't leave." Tang Xu insisted.
"Okay, I hope Tang Gongzi's final answer won't disappoint me." The woman gave in, clapping her hands again.
"Lan Jun!" Tang Xu turned around and saw Lan Jun being carried in by two people, the whole person looked very haggard, Tang Xu was so distressed that he hurriedly ran over, and Wang Dali also walked over.
"Tang Gongzi, I..." Lan Jun couldn't help crying, he hated himself for causing so much trouble to Tang Xu and Wang Dali.
"Don't cry, I'll take you back." Tang Xu's hand to wipe his tears trembled a little, and he was a little choked.
"I didn't lie to you, he's fine." The woman was impatient to look at their period Ai Ai, and with a wave of her hand, Lan Jun was taken down again.
"You!" Tang Xu couldn't hold back, and let Lan Jun leave him again.
"Don't worry, Tang Gongzi, when you give a satisfactory answer, I will naturally send the little brother back to the house unscathed." The woman said.
“。。。” Tang Xu's mind was very messy, and he really didn't know what to do.
"Tang Gongzi is also tired, let's go back to the house to rest first, and give you three days to think about it." The woman stood up and turned into a nearby room, apparently not saying anything more.
"Boss, let's go back too." Wang Dali said to Tang Xu.
"Yes." Tang Xu sighed and left the courtyard with Wang Dali.
On the way home, Tang Xu was very silent, this was a dilemma, which one Tang Xu was absolutely unwilling to choose, and there was no answer after thinking about it. Wang Dali thoughtfully accompanied Tang Xu home.
"Boss, I don't think it's easy." Wang Dali said to Tang Xu.
"Huh? What do you think of? Tang Xu asked.
"There is a mark on the woman's neck, if I remember correctly, I saw it in the General's Mansion, it is the family symbol of a Khitan tribe." Wang Dali continued.
"What? Khitan? Tang Xu was a little confused, isn't Lanzhou City the territory of the party?
"The Khitan has been coveting the Central Plains for many years, and in recent years it is even more imminent, Lanzhou to the east is the boundary of the Central Plains, if you can take Lanzhou City, you can form a situation of encirclement." Wang Dali said.
"But Lanzhou City has a strong defense, if you want to fight..." Tang Xu figured it out as he spoke.
"I understand, so they want to use tea poison to disintegrate Lanzhou City, and over time, this place will become a dead city." Tang Xu sensed that a big conspiracy was brewing.
