Xie Qin was talking to Tang Zhong when the voice sounded again: "What are you talking about secretly! Be honest, where did you come from?"

"What do you say?" Tang Zhong asked rhetorically, "Where did we come from when we appeared here?"

“...... I'm asking you, not you're asking me!" The voice suddenly became angry, presumably because of Tang Zhong's words.

"You're regressing. Tang Li. Tang Zhong said in a deep voice, "It's really disappointing, when I handed over the position of guard chief to you, how did you promise me?"

"How do you know this?" the voice was surprised, "Wait, this voice, you, you are!"

Tang Zhong didn't answer, but still said in a deep voice: "...... Is that how you do your job?"

"Yes, it's Brother Zhong!"

There was a rustling sound in the shadows ahead, and then a man walked out, thin and tall.

"Put them all away!" he said briskly as he walked towards the group, raising his hand as he went.

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, the Zimingtang guards who were hiding in the dark heard Tang Zhong's voice and had already put away the guy.

The man walked up to Tang Zhong, and by the light next to him, Xie Qin saw that this person had a clear face, about early twenties, and was younger than Tang Zhong.

Huh?

Xie Qin looked sideways, and saw a stone lamp standing next to it, he had never seen such an ancient object, so he looked twice, and found that the stone lamp was not a candle, but an electric lamp, or a disposable electric lamp with a battery.

This is really enough to keep pace with the times, and Xie Qin can't remember how many times this is the first time he has expressed this kind of emotion.

Over there, the man stood still in front of Tang Zhong, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhong, you're back!"

Tang Zhong arched his hand and said in a low voice, "Xiaoli, what's the matter with you, you should have found us when we walked out of the dark passage!"

The young man's name was Tang Li, and after listening to Tang Zhong's words, he lowered his head and whispered, "Brother Zhong, it's ...... Indeed, as soon as you stepped out of the tunnel, you found ...... I just didn't say anything right away. ”

Xie Qin secretly thought in his heart, the reason why the voices of these two people became so small was probably because he didn't want the other guards to hear about the secret passage, remembering that Tang Zhong had said before that only a few people knew about the existence of the secret passage.

"Why?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Under ...... I want to see what you want to do. Tang Li replied.

"What are you looking at? This is all in your own backyard!" Tang Zhong said in a deep voice, "What if it's an enemy? If you don't strike right away, won't you lose your precious opportunity? That's how you act as a guard?"

What do you mean by this? Xie Qinxin said, should we be greeted by crossbow arrows as soon as we step out of the dark passage? You can dodge, we can't dodge!

"No...... I ......" Tang Li snorted for a while, unable to think of a rhetoric, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Brother Zhong taught me a lesson!

"Well, I also thought of it suddenly. Tang Zhong waved his hand, "The situation is urgent, I forgot to show my waist card when I walked out of the dark passage, and I am also responsible for this matter." ”

What did you just say? Did you think of it suddenly? Then you can still talk about it confidently? Xie Qin secretly complained.

"But," Tang Zhong said, "you have to keep this matter in mind." ”

"Yes...... I remembered it in the next. Tang Li arched his hand again.

"No," Tang Zhong lowered his voice for a moment, "When you see us coming out of the dark passage, you should know that we are your own family!"

Xie Qin looked at Tang Zhong and said secretly, I think you are too anxious and confused! But then again, you really lowered your voice when you mentioned the secret way, it seems that I guessed correctly.

"Yes, it's wrong!" Poor Tang Li, who had just received a wrong reprimand, was about to admit his mistake again.

"Forget it, just pay attention to it later. Tang Zhong waved his hand, as if he was also a little embarrassed.

"Yes. Tang Li replied again, and then changed the conversation, "Brother Zhong, aren't you still accompanying the eldest lady in Tailian, why are you back?" He looked at everyone again, "These are ...... people?"

“...... It's a long story. Tang Zhong waved his hand, "Let me introduce you to these friends first." ”

"Good. Tang Li responded.

Tang Zhong said: "This is Qi Fuji of the Qi family in Fuzhou. ”

"Oh!" Tang Li hurriedly bowed his hand to Qi Fuji, "I have long admired Your Excellency's name as a 'knife idiot'!"

"Where. Qi Buer returned the salute.

Tang Zhong said again: "The ancestor of the Jinling ancestral family, the ancestor Zuoshi and the ancestor Yuji girl. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Tang Li gave up his hand again.

The grandfather and grandson returned the gift.

Tang Zhong's index finger finally pointed at Xie Qin, and said in his mouth: "This is ......"

When Tang Li saw Xie Qin, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

"You, no, you're ......"

Xie Qin was stunned on the spot, what is the situation with you? This person who looks older than me, why is he still using honorifics on me?!

"Xiao Li!" Tang Zhong interrupted him, "This person is not the other person!"

Xie Qin looked at Tang Zhong again, what kind of person is this contemptible, what are you talking about!

"Ah......" Tang Li was also a little confused.

Tang Zhong said: "This little brother's name is Xie Qin. ”

"Thank you......"

Tang Li's expression became strange again, which made Xie Qin feel very strange.

Tang Zhong said again: "Xie Qin is not a person with the Jianghu chase and kill order, he was originally a commoner, but because of this appearance, he was involved in it, and he only started to practice martial arts during this time. ”

"Ah...... Commoners of the world?"

Tang Li's expression changed again, he looked at Xie Qin, then at Zu Yuji and the others, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Brother Zhong, can you take a step to speak?" Tang Li made a gesture.

Tang Zhong nodded, and the two walked aside, and then they talked in a whisper.

Although Sechin had excellent hearing and it was not difficult to hear their conversation, he was reluctant to do such a sneaky thing, so he did not prick up his ears suspiciously to listen.

As a result, his ears are so good that even if he doesn't listen, he can hear a rough idea.

This is embarrassing! Xie Qinxin said, he wanted to cover his ears, but thinking that there were so many guards staring around, it was too embarrassing to do this in front of the public, and there was also the suspicion of mocking Tang Li and them many times, so he still gave up.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, Xie Qin thought, but my ears were too good!

Over there, Tang Li asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhong, what are you doing with so many outsiders coming back? Also, why are you taking them to the secret passage? Don't you know that the location of the secret passage is a secret of my hall?!"

Tang Zhong replied: "There is a reason for this. ”

"What made you do such an outrageous thing?" Tang Li asked, "You are violating the law! Do you know that it is a serious violation!"

"I know," Tang Zhong said, "but I have a reason why I have to do it!

When Tang Li heard this, his expression was solemn.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhong, I won't let you in, take outsiders through the secret passage without permission, your behavior is really out of line. ”

"Are you suspicious of me?" asked Tang Zhong.

"You must have a reason why you have to do this, right?" Tang Li asked rhetorically.

“...... Be. Tang Zhong responded.

"So, please state your reasons. Tang Li said.

There was no movement around at all, but Xie Qin knew that those guards must still be in the shadows, and when Tang Zhong said, "Are you doubting me?" according to normal development, those guards should pick up crossbows again and face us......, right? Or did they not hear Tang Zhong and Tang Li talking at all?

What the hell, can't anyone hear them but me?

Xie Qin turned his head to look at everyone, and saw that they also looked as usual, so he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems to be true, except for me, everyone can't hear it.

But I didn't feel much pride in this ability, it was so embarrassing. He thought.

Tang Zhong was silent for a moment and then spoke, and now he lowered his voice further, and Xie Qin was almost unable to hear clearly.

"Tailian's stronghold was attacked, and everyone was killed. ”

There's a reason his voice is so low.

"What?!" Tang Li was taken aback.

"Little gift!" Tang Zhong shouted in a low voice, "You be quiet! Now everyone in the hall is still in the dark, and I don't want everyone to know." ”

Listening to his words, Tang Li calmed down and said in a low voice: "I understand, then what does this have to do with those outsiders?"

"Listen to me. Tang Zhong said, "The people who attacked the stronghold also kidnapped Miss, I was seriously injured because of a sneak attack, those are all friends, and Miss is in Tailian, and they are helping me find Miss's whereabouts together." ”

"Miss was actually kidnapped?" Tang Li said in disbelief, "You are also seriously injured, won't you?!"

Tang Zhong said: "The one who started was someone we knew. ”

"Who?" Tang Li asked in surprise, "Is it someone from the hall?"

Tang Zhong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's Tang Shuyan, the young master of the Xuanzhu Hall!"

"He, how could he?" Tang Li was even more shocked, "The Xuanzhu Hall has been friends with my hall for generations, how can it be ......?"

"I don't know why," Tang Zhong shook his head again and explained to Tang Li, "Originally, because of some circumstances, I planned to investigate in secret, but there were some changes, and I had to come back." As for taking the dark passage, it is also forced - because there are likely to be people watching here, and if I take the main road to enter, I will be seen. ”

"I understand," Tang Li nodded, "Those friends ......" He still has some scruples.

"These friends have helped me a lot, and they are young lady friends, and naturally they are also friends of Zimingtang," Tang Zhong comforted him, "Xiaoli, you can rest assured, they are not bad people." ”

"Since you said so......, Brother Zhong," Tang Li nodded, "Okay then." ”

"Well," Tang Zhong replied, "I must ask to see the hall master right now." ”

"It's too late," Tang Li's face was embarrassed, "The hall master has already gone to bed......
