Chapter 439
"I don't believe it. β
Tang Zhong suddenly snorted and said coldly.
"What don't you believe?" asked Tang Shuyan.
"Everything. Tang Zhong stared at Tang Shuyan and said in a deep voice, "I don't believe everything you said. β
Tang Jiaju said: "Ah Zhong ......"
Tang Zhong still stared at Tang Shuyan, and said to Tang Jiaju: "Hall Master, this person cannot be trusted. β
Tang Shuyan calmly looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Ah Zhongβ"
"Don't call him that," Tang Zhong interrupted him expressionlessly, "We're not friends. β
"So, why are you still alive?" asked Tang Shuyan.
Tang Zhong was unmoved, and said coldly: "The reason why I am still alive is because it is good for you. β
"What's the benefit?" Tang Shuyan asked again, "If you are alive, you will run here to report the news, so that the fourth uncle can know about this matter, if you are dead now, no one will know what happened to Tailian Villa." β
"That's the case," Tang Zhong nodded slightly, then asked rhetorically, "But what if it's part of your plan?"
β...... What are you talking about?" Tang Shuyan was slightly stunned.
"Let me come back alive and tell the hall master the truth, and then you will stage such a drama again...... This is all part of your plan, right?" Tang Zhong said as he looked at him.
"You're right," Tang Shuyan bowed slightly, "This is indeed part of my plan. β
"Okay," Tang Zhong nodded, "I didn't expect you to admit it, so let's say, what is your plan?"
"Help you rescue Ruoruo, and then you help me rescue my father. Tang Shuyan said, "This is my plan, I have already told you just now." β
β...... Let's be honest. Tang Zhong's eyes were cold.
"I'm telling the truth," Tang Shuyan said without being humble or arrogant, "You might as well think about it, what good will it do me and the Xuanzhu Hall to get involved in the conspiracy against the Nine Poison Hall? Like you Zimingtang, the Xuancane Hall has been hidden for so many years, and the desire to dominate the rivers and lakes has long been gone." β
Tang Zhong was still unmoved.
"Tang Shuyan, we are the first to salute and then the soldiers, and now, the part of the salute has passed. He said coldly.
"Over the years, have I done anything else besides taking care of my father?" Tang Shuyan said in a deep voice, "I swear in the name of my father, and there is not a word of falsehood in what I just said, if there is, teach me to die without a place to be buried!"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly became high-pitched.
Everyone was stunned.
"You ......," Tang Zhong frowned.
Tang Jiaju said: "It's okay, Ah Zhong." β
"Hall Master......" Tang Zhong looked at him.
Tang Jiaju bowed his head and said: "Just now, I chose to believe Shuyan because I wanted to bet once, for Ruoruo, I think it was worth it." Now, it's a different story. β
Tang Zhong didn't speak, but his expression was still a little suspicious.
Tang Jiaju said: "With my understanding of Shuyan...... Over the years, he has taken care of his family wholeheartedly, which is a fact, and ordinary people can't do this, which shows his filial piety. And now, he swears in the name of Jiaji, and I believe him because it is a renew oath. β
"But ......" Tang Zhong frowned, obviously very entangled, "but he commanded the attack and killed the brothers......"
β...... That's fine. β
Tang Shuyan let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll tell you everything. β
"What do you want to say?" Tang Zhong looked at him, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Ah Zhong," Tang Shuyan said, "First of all, I have to say that I was really forced to participate in this, but the death of those friends is indeed on my head, because I commanded this attack. β
"Shut up!" Tang Zhong shouted in a deep voice, "You are not qualified to call them friends!"
Tang Zhong said: "In that situation, I have to do this, Chihuotang has decided to kidnap Ruoruo, even if I don't go, they will send others, instead of letting them do it, kidnapping Ruoruo to a secret place, it is better for me to come, at least, I can know where she is being held, so that I can also come and tell you, so as to rescue Ruoruo." So I asked the people of Chihuo Hall to participate in this operation, and I was Ruoruo's cousin, and it would be much easier for me to get it, and I used this as an excuse to convince them. β
"You have betrayed the trust of the young lady. Tang Zhong said coldly.
"I don't deny it," Tang Shuyan nodded, "but it is precisely because of this that Chihuo Tang will agree to let me be responsible." In fact, they already have a plan, and I'm just executing theirs. I also carried out this plan as it was, yes, as you know, pretending to be the Nine Poison Hall to launch a surprise attack, and then kidnapping Ruoruo.
"Therefore, from the very beginning, the Red Fire Hall did not intend to stay alive, so that the Nine Poison Hall's attack on the Ziming Hall was a certainty. I know their wishes, but I'm not going to let them get their way, so I've decided to find a way to create something that is not in harmony so that you can see that something is wrong, and also, to save people as much as possible.
"Before the operation, I investigated Ruoruo's situation behind the back of the Red Fire Hall, and although the people of the Red Fire Hall were watching closely, I still found an opportunity to contact the mahjong house. β
Mahjong House? Tang Shuyan found Sun Liuguan? Xie Qin secretly wondered in his heart, why didn't he mention this matter when he saw Sun Liuguan before?
Tang Shuyan said: "Naturally, I also investigated the people around Ruoruo, so I will know your situation." β
I see, everyone was stunned.
Tang Shuyan continued: "Then, my plan can be formed, but I can't save everyone, then I will definitely be discovered by the Red Fire Hall, and I can't take this risk." So, it's a matter of trade-offs, I can only save one person, who can I save? There is no doubt that I will save you, Ah Zhong. β
Tang Zhong's expression was no longer as cold and hard as it was just now, and it became very complicated.
Tang Shuyan said: "The time is almost up, I stared at your villa, through eavesdropping, I knew that you were going to have a party that day, so I decided to act on that day, and you also know what happened later, as planned, I saved Ah Zhong and took Ruoruo away, and I also knew where Ruoruo was kept, but on the other hand, as planned, all the guards of the villa died, and many of them were my friends." Ah Zhong, I know you think I'm hypocritical, but I'm telling the truth. β
Tang Zhong didn't say anything.
Tang Shuyan said in a deep voice: "In this case, I have to make a trade-off, even if it is human life, but if I don't do this, I can't go deeper...... I'm sorry for those friends, I'm sorry for them, even if I pay for my life, it's not enough to pay off this blood debt...... But I think I'm doing the right thing...... I have to be right. His expression was very painful, "If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to do it this way." β
The crowd was silent.
"Since my father was kidnapped by Chihuotang, I can't stay out of it," Tang Shuyan's face trembled slightly, "I can only go deeper step by step." β
Everyone invariably thinks of a question: If the same situation happens to them, what should they do? Is it a decisive choice like Tang Shuyan? Or is it ......
In fact, there is only one option, time is a luxury, and it cannot be used to hesitate, hesitation means losing opportunities, and losing opportunities means that those guards die meaninglessly.
Yes, from the time the Red Fire Hall decided to do this, those guards were already mortal.
And Tang Shuyan, the person who was involved and coerced to walk, is there any other option?
Life can't be trade-offs, but what if the time comes when you have to make trade-offs?
Thinking of this, Xie Qin couldn't say a word, Tang Shuyan's approach was blameless, and it could even be said to be very decisive.
But what about the guards?
...... No answer, can't think of it.
Can't think of it!
Xie Qin felt his head start to hurt.
Not only him, but everyone is like this, even if it is an old man like Tang Jiaju, who is used to seeing wind and waves, he can't think of a better choice.
Tang Zhong looked at Tang Shuyan fixedly, with a tangled expression, he was also facing the same dilemma.
"Those brothers, my brothers, are they going to die?"
His voice was very low, even a little hoarse.
β...... There's nothing I can do. β
Tang Shuyan's tone was as weak as his words.
The only thing he can do is not to do it himself.
Such a thought suddenly popped into Xie Qin's heart.
Although Xie Qin was not present at the time of the villa raid, he listened to Tang Zhong's description, and Tang Shuyan seemed to be watching the killing calmly at that time.
In fact, only he knows how much pain he has buried deep in his heart.
Xie Qin shook his head secretly, it was really unfortunate, how could this kind of thing happen.
However, then again, isn't that true of all the people involved in this?
Thinking so, there is only a sigh.
β...... Good. Tang Zhong looked at Tang Shuyan, he regained his indifferent expression, but he still showed a trace of pain.
"Good. Tang Zhong took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions,
"Okay," Tang Zhong nodded and said, "I believe you, let's go rescue the young lady and destroy this conspiracy." And then ......," he gritted his teeth, "make that real man behind the scenes pay!"
"Thank you. Tang Shuyan said, "After all this is over, I will also be responsible for what I did." β
...... It won't be self-judging, right? Xie Qin listened and looked at Tang Shuyan.
Tang Shuyan's expression was very serious and heavy.
Tang Zhong looked at Tang Shuyan with a complicated expression, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, in fact, Tang Shuyan was right just now, the two were no longer friends. Since Tang Shuyan was involved, the two have never been able to return to their former best friendship.
Therefore, Tang Zhong didn't say anything in the end.
"So be it. Tang Shuyan said to everyone, "It's almost time." β
