Tianfang Yanjing East of the city.

The buildings and mansions located here are all inhabited by influential and influential figures in Yanjing, and the buildings here occupy a wide area, and most of them are owned by some of the children of the Seven Great Powers stationed here.

If these places want to be stationed in a huge family or sect, it is simply impossible to live in the little place where every inch of land is expensive in Yanjing, generally like a century-old family and so on, although they have a mansion in the capital, it is just a cheap residence.

Just like the four major kendo families, they all own mansions in this part of the capital, and they are generally taken care of by the servants of the family, and they usually live temporarily, and most of them still live around the capital, and only one family can constitute the scale of a large town.

It was in the afternoon, the blue sky was blazing, in the surrounding city was already full of flowers and spring, in front of the gate of the Tang Mansion in the east of the city, two carriages drove under the arch guard of the capital guard, and stopped there.

At the gate of the Tang Mansion, an old man with a white beard, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a majestic demeanor, several old men behind him, and a group of middle-aged people immediately greeted him.

This old man, and the people behind him, are the patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Xiuyang, as well as several elders of the Tang family and the core children of the family, and the people who can let the family patriarch and elders personally greet them at the door, naturally have a great background, and after the people who passed nearby saw it, they were all surprised, and after they walked away, they talked about it in private, guessing that the carriage was coming, and these people were accompanied by an important minister from Yanjing.

In the middle of the carriage, two old men in short robes who also looked extraordinary, as well as a middle-aged man with a solemn expression and a heroic young man came down.

After Tang Xiuyang saw the two old men getting out of the car, he immediately stepped forward, with a gentle smile, and arched his hand: "The two envoys of Lao He and the envoys of Zhou have come to my Tang family, and I hope the two envoys will forgive me for the neglect!" As for the details of the heavenly minister next to him, because he knew Tang Xiuyuan, the two sides just nodded.

The messenger surnamed He replied: "It is also our honor for the Patriarch of Laotang to greet him personally, so why not be lazy!"

Tang Xiuyang glanced at the middle-aged man and the young man behind the two envoys, and did not ask immediately, but made a gesture and said, "Everyone, please enter the mansion first, please!"

"Please!" After a few people gave up their hands, they entered the Tang Mansion first.

Several people came to the main hall of the mansion to sit down, and after the maid served tea and snacks and retreated, one of the two envoys from the Eastern Continent Alliance surnamed Zhou first bowed his hand and said: "Patriarch Tang, I was ordered by the leader of the alliance to come to the Heavenly Empire, and then come to your mansion after meeting His Majesty the Emperor, to investigate the phantom poison that was circulating everywhere some time ago, and if you disturb it, Patriarch Tang forgive me!"

Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the expressions of the other Tang family elders and the middle-aged man and young man all changed slightly, but Tang Xiuyang immediately smiled and said: "The alliance sent two envoys to investigate this matter, my Tang family should give strong cooperation, and the rumors that have been circulating recently are indeed extremely unfavorable to my Tang clan, and I still need two envoys to clarify the facts for my Tang clan, I will be grateful!"

However, these are all scenes, the envoys surnamed He and surnamed Zhou first went to see the Emperor of Heaven, and then came to the Tang family to investigate these things, and they did not come entirely for this matter, although Tang Xiuyang and other old foxes couldn't guess their true intentions, but they knew that they were not looking for trouble.

Therefore, after these people said some scenes, because they were accompanied by a close minister of the emperor, some things could not be said directly.

After chatting for about half an hour, when it was time for dinner, the minister took his leave because his subordinates had come to report something.

So Tang Xiuyang led the remaining few people to the back hall, and after letting a few elders retreat from the others, he looked at the middle-aged man and the young man, and said, "The two envoys have not yet been introduced to ...... when they came this time."

When the old man surnamed He heard this, he pointed to the middle-aged man: "This is the young prince from the 'Near Monarch's Mansion' of the Changge Empire, and he is also one of the candidates for the leader of the Eastern Continent Alliance this time!"

As he spoke, the old man surnamed He pointed to the young man with a lofty spirit and said, "This is His Royal Highness Bekun, the third prince of the Luoyu Empire!"

After being introduced, Jun did not regret and said to Bekun: "I have seen the patriarch of the Tang family!"

When Tang Xiuyang heard this, he was a little surprised, seeing the two of them saluting, he just nodded in response, this is not to say that he did not take the two noble people in his eyes, first as elders, and secondly, the Tang family also has a certain influence in the Eastern Continent Alliance, and the status of the Heavenly Empire is higher than that of the Luoyue Empire, so even if the prince of the Luoyue Empire has a noble status, with Tang Xiuyang's identity, they all need to salute Tang Xiuyang in turn.

After the two of them returned to their seats, Tang Xiuyang glanced at the prince of Bekun before he said, "Presumably, when His Royal Highness Bekun met His Majesty this time, he only came as a member of the Eastern Continent Alliance, right?"

Bekun immediately got up again and said, "Patriarch Tang's eyes!"

Tang Xiuyang nodded, and after letting him return to his seat, he said: "This time, the envoy and the envoy of Zhou came, there must be something wrong, if there is any command, my Tang clan should do my best!"

After the envoy He and the envoy of Zhou glanced at each other, the envoy surnamed Zhou arched his hand and said: "As far as the old man knows, last time the Snow Mountain Treasure, the Tang Clan obtained a thousand-year-old sword lotus lotus, but it was given to the Sword Poison Sect of the Luoyu Empire, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Tang Xiuyang remained silent and said: "This is indeed the case, the son of the sect master of the Sword Poison Sect has a strange disease, and it is ineffective to take all kinds of medicinal stones, and even the elixir prepared by the Medicine King is useless, it just so happens that the sect master of the poison has a relationship with the old man, so the old man will give it away, I don't know why the envoy of Zhou has such a question?"

After the envoy surnamed Zhou nodded, he said: "Since the Tang Patriarch has a relationship with the Sect Master of the Sword Poison Sect, then please forgive the old man for saying bluntly, the Tang family's phantom poison incident this time, the main members of the alliance have already suspected that the Sword Poison Sect was secretly developed, and they also sent other people to the Sword Poison Sect to investigate, this matter is probably not good for the Tang family!"

When Tang Xiuyang heard this, his face condensed slightly, he didn't know what the envoy surnamed Zhou meant when he said this, and what the other party's intentions were, so he said, "I don't know what the envoy of Zhou has to say, but it's okay?"

The old man surnamed Zhou glanced at Jun Buregret next to him before he said: "This phantom poison incident started because of the Tianfang Sword Boy Challenge, spread all over the Eastern Continent, and has a great impact, and as we all know, this phantom poison is something strictly forbidden by the mainland, once it is found, it will definitely be attacked by a group, so this time the Tang family's children used the phantom poison, but for some reason, it was known by the Shenmang Empire!"

Hearing this, the faces of several elders of the Tang family changed greatly, and Tang Xiuyang's originally calm expression finally fluctuated, and said, "Your Excellency means that the Shenmang Empire also wants to take the opportunity to intervene in this matter?"

The old man surnamed Zhou nodded and said, " The Tang patriarch must know that the Shenmang Empire has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is very powerful, and it has always had the ambition to get involved in the Eastern Continent, which is something that everyone knows, but there are checks and balances of the Eastern Continent Alliance everywhere, so there are some things, and they don't dare to do it blatantly, but this time, after the Shenmang Empire learned about the phantom poison, it was very tough to negotiate with our Eastern Continent Alliance, and asked us to give an explanation, otherwise they would send someone to the Celestial Empire to investigate, but this matter has been suppressed by the leader, we are here this time, and we also want to reach a consensus with the Tang Patriarch, no matter how to say that this matter is a matter of my Eastern Continent, the Shenmang Empire of the Western Continent has no right to interfere, but......”

After Tang Xiuyang heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and somewhat understood the intention of these two people, as if he wanted to get something from the Tang family, money, exercises, Tang Xiuyang thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely, so he said: "Since this matter has annoyed the leader of the alliance to personally come forward to defend the Tang clan, the Tang clan is grateful, Zhou Envoy has something to say, please speak up, if the old man can do it, he will never refuse!"

The envoy surnamed Zhou glanced at Jun Buregret and said, "Don't regret it, you can come and talk about it!"

After Jun did not regret giving his hand, he said: " Because of the phantom poison, the Shenmang Empire has been clinging to the rules in the continental convention recently, trying to interfere in vain, but the ancestor has repeatedly stated that this is a matter of the Eastern Continent, and it has its own Eastern Continent Alliance to deal with it, but Shenmang is still tough, so the ancestor and the envoy of the Shenmang Empire have some conflicts, and the two sides have a fight, although the other party was injured by the ancestor of the family, and the battle was defeated, but it also made concessions, asking the Eastern Continent to immediately punish the source of the phantom poison according to the mainland convention, and prohibit the phantom poison from appearing on the mainland, but the leader of this matter still can't choose between the Sword Poison Sect and the Tang Clan, so... ...”

Tang Xiuyang frowned at this time and said, "What Jun Shaofu means is that Shenmang interfered forcefully and made a concession to make a trade-off between the Sword Poison Sect and the Tang Clan?"

Jun did not regret it: "This time we have consulted with His Majesty the Old Emperor of your country before, and the old emperor means that the Tang Clan has risen together with the Heavenly Empire and has made contributions, so between the Tang Clan and the Sword Poison Sect, the Old Majesty means the Sword Poison Sect, but the Old Majesty also knows that the Tang Patriarch has a very close relationship with the Sword Poison Sect Master, so he allows us to come and consult with the Tang Patriarch in person!"

After Tang Xiuyang heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, although he had already hated his own children to death in his heart, let alone eat his flesh and bones, but everyone had already been killed by Nie Lin, and he had reached a reconciliation with Jian Weng and calmed down.

He didn't expect that this matter would be used by the Shenmang Empire, and make a big fuss through this matter, intending to threaten the situation in the Eastern Continent, if this matter is not handled well, the ambition of the Eastern Continent Alliance to curb the strong intervention of the Shenmang Empire, if the Sword Poison Sect makes a move, then in the end, the Tang family may be used as a sacrifice.

After thinking about it, Tang Xiuyang asked, "I wonder if the Sword Poison Sect knows about this matter?"

Jun did not regret and said: "I don't know about this matter for the time being, although the Tang patriarch has a relationship with the sword poison sect master, but this matter involves the life and death of the Tang clan, so the Tang patriarch can't have the kindness of a woman, and the leader is also more optimistic about the Tang clan, after all, the sword poison sect has always had some bad deeds that people despise, so the incident has been clarified for the Tang clan, but the ancestor was injured because of the fight, so there is a reluctant request below?"
