Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 104: Date? Date!
Azhi almost yelled, "How can you fight with such a serious injury?"
This is no time for joking!
Xu Qingyan is a three-star warrior. Even if Azhi fights him head-on, he may not be able to escape unscathed.
Not to mention Tang Zheng, who had just killed Lan Shaoze and was still injured!
But Tang Zheng just smiled.
As if he had no idea that the other person was a three-star warrior, he walked Azhi and took two steps towards Xu Qingyan...
Then his eyes moved up and down as if he were looking at livestock.
And Xu Qingyan did not approach them.
He leaned against the low wall, watching Azhi's troubled face with interest, while allowing Tang Zheng to look him up and down with the eyes he would use to inspect livestock.
"Hey..." Azhi was behind him and poked him with his finger.
Tang Zheng smiled again, ignored Ah Zhi, and said to Xu Qingyan: "Why don't you raise the stars and take a look?"
Azhi’s mind suddenly became foggy!
Rising stars?
Opening your mouth makes people excited. Doesn't this mean inviting the other party to make the first move?
A warrior who has just advanced to the two-star level and whose star power is still unstable challenges a three-star warrior?
He really felt that no matter how great the famous doctor was, he probably couldn't save Tang Zheng's brain!
And Xu Qingyan was not polite either, and directly raised the star sign.
Two-headed Tibetan Mastiff!
This is a very common sea beast hidden in the sea outside the border. However, it is rare to see a star sign with a species from outside the border. Generally, there is only one situation when this star sign appears - hybrid.
Xu Qingyan was very tall, probably over 1.80 meters tall according to Tang Zheng's estimation, but he looked androgynous and his age couldn't even be determined from his face.
His hair is a slightly light brown, and if you look closely at the color of his eyes, you can see that there is a slight and strange color difference.
After the stars rose, Xu Qingyan did not take action, but only sneered: "You won't let me scream twice more, will you?"
"Oh, that's a good suggestion..." Tang Zheng laughed loudly, "I say, are you going to give me the treasure hidden behind your back..."
"Heh." Xu Qingyan shrugged and threw a round object towards Tang Zheng.
Ah Zhi suddenly got nervous, waving his two swords and jumping directly in front of Tang Zheng...
Two swords swish!
The round thing was split into four pieces in one go.
"The kid has a bad temper." Xu Qingyan said.
"That's it." Tang Zheng covered his nose.
A strong fishy smell immediately spread throughout the quiet bamboo forest.
Azhi looked again and saw that what was shattered by his two swords was actually a human head!
Tang Zheng took a look at a blue birthmark on one of the pieces of meat and smiled.
Just less than thirty breaths ago, Tang Zheng saw this birthmark on the forehead of the assassin who came to assassinate him.
"What's this?" Although Tang Zheng had already seen that Xu Qingyan had no intention of killing him, and also saw that he was carrying something behind him, he could not accurately guess what Xu Qingyan meant.
"Invitation." Xu Qingyan answered quietly.
"Oh..." Tang Zheng nodded, "Fancy invitations...are getting more and more high-end. Tell me, why are you inviting me?"
"Drink." Xu Qingyan replied briefly: "Do you dare?"
"You're not inviting me to die. There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you pay... No, it doesn't matter who pays." Tang Zheng slapped his head. He has so much money now, so why should he care about who treats and who pays?
Xu Qingyan threw down a sentence "Three days later, at noon, Wufeng Tavern", and turned and left.
Tang Zheng shrugged, straightened his clothes a little, and went towards Yangxian Tower.
Azhi looked puzzledly at Xu Qingyan who climbed over the low wall and left, then looked at Tang Zheng who seemed fine, and quickly chased after Tang Zheng.
…
"How did you kill Lan Shaoze? Can you tell me now?" Azhi trotted over to catch up with Tang Zheng and asked.
Tang Zheng did not stop, nor did he turn back to look at Azhi.
Under the vast starry sky, his voice sounded very clear and powerful: "Preparation, timing, plan."
These three words are no strangers to any top assassin in Tang Zheng's world.
However, Ah Zhi looked confused when he heard this.
Except for the word "timing", he understood the other two.
"You know how to choose the time, which is very good. However, timing is not the first step in assassination. To assassinate someone, the first step must be preparation." Tang Zheng raised a finger and said as he walked.
"Ready?" Ah Zhi asked, "Is it the teacup?"
"The teacup is just one of them. A good opportunity is not something you can wait for, but something you can create! In order to create a good opportunity to kill someone, you must prepare in advance. For example, drinking tea, going to the purification room, or changing the teacup." Tang Zheng said.
"Good opportunities cannot be found by waiting..." Ah Zhi repeated this sentence silently.
Tang Zheng spent several hours trying to figure out how to serve, drink, and price each type of tea. This way, he would know that Hundred Flowers Morning Dew would be served on the day of the banquet, and that Hundred Flowers Morning Dew would be served seven times, and almost no one would get up and leave during the tea serving process.
No one left Yangxian Tower, which was another way of clearing the area for the purification room he had chosen.
"Then why did you go to the purification room again and again when you were drinking tea ten days ago..." Ah Zhi's eyes widened suddenly when he thought of the road they took from Yangxian Tower to the purification room, "Find the way!"
"Smart!" Tang Zheng smiled.
After going down to the backyard from Yangxian Tower, there is a winding and quiet stone path leading to the purification room.
That’s the path Lan Shaoze took.
Tang Zheng was going to go downstairs after Lan Shaoze, but he had to reach the purification room before him. What should he do?
Of course, take a shortcut.
Roads are made by people walking on them. No path can appear out of thin air, especially in such a complex garden design. If you are not prepared in advance, you may run into a wall when you get out of the dense bamboo forest!
"Then...what about that cup? What exactly are you in that cup?" This is what confuses Azhi the most.
"Of course it is... a good thing for detoxification, diuresis, and beautification..." Tang Zheng laughed.
Not only was there no poison in the cup that Tang Zheng replaced, there wasn't even any laxative in it.
Because laxatives are also harmful to the body.
Once he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, Lan Shaoze would inevitably be alert. And when he was alert, even if he had to go to the clean room, he would not go alone!
Therefore, what Tang Zheng prescribed was just a detoxifying and diuretic drug.
Very healthy, safe and harmless.
But the dosage is indeed a bit high.
Ah Zhi was stunned: "You made so many preparations just for the stab in the purification room? But there are three purification rooms in total, how do you know which one he will go into?"
"Because I have the ability to predict the future!" Tang Zheng smiled and walked into the door of Yangxian Tower.
“Ahhhhh…” Ah Zhi grabbed him and said, “Don’t use the same excuse you used to fool Zheng Qian to fool me. Explain yourself clearly!”
Tang Zheng walked upstairs, smiling, and said, "If that stab had killed him directly, I would have told you how I knew it, but, if it failed... I can't tell you."
Azhi really wanted to chop him with a sword.
Why can you say it when you succeed but not when you fail? There is no logical connection at all!
"Well, you just finished explaining what 'preparation' is, and there are two more - timing and contingency plan..." Ah Zhi asked quickly.
"You can't digest too much. I'll teach you next time!" Tang Zheng returned to the tea party with a smile.
…
Azhi was still thinking about the words "Good opportunities cannot be waited for", and he sat back in his seat silently, without noticing that Ghost Grandpa came back to the tea party after him.
As soon as Tang Zheng sat down, Lu Huang's eyes stared at him.
If it was any other six-star expert, no matter what he saw, he would not ask directly. But Lu Huang was obviously not an "other" six-star expert. As soon as he saw Tang Zheng sitting down, he asked, "What have you been doing for so long?"
Tang Zheng had never expected that he would ask a direct question. He was stunned and subconsciously uttered two words: "Pee."
Lu Huang was also stunned for a moment: "How is it possible? Just peeing can get me one star..."
Halfway through his words, he looked at Tang Zheng's dazed gaze and suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate for him to ask this question.
Since Tang Zheng said he was going to pee, why did he have to ask about it?
He is not Tang Zheng’s father!
"Well, have some tea." Lu Huang awkwardly pushed Tang Zheng's teacup over.
“Thank you, Master…” Tang Zheng saw that Lu Huang, this EQ-loser, finally reacted, so he smiled and picked up the cup.
However, he did not drink the tea in the cup.
A teacup that has been out of sight for such a long time, who knows what has happened to it?
However, the coolness of the teacup in his hand seemed to penetrate into Tang Zheng's body.
A cup of tea, from hot to cold...
It actually took much longer than he expected!
Assassination should be a matter of a split second.
Tang Zheng subconsciously took out the [Unsheathed] dagger that Lu Huang gave him and stroked it. This dagger was a good dagger with a high degree of star power resonance, but it was not the most suitable secondary weapon for him.
If he had been holding a secondary weapon that he was satisfied with today, the two consecutive stabs in the clean room would have been more continuous, and there would not have been just a line of blood left on Lan Shaoze's neck, but a direct cut in the throat!
"Hehe." Tang Zheng smiled and put the dagger back into his sleeve.
It's already late at night.
This rare tea party hosted by Bailianfang was finally coming to an end.
Before leaving, the guests were still reluctant to leave.
"Master Lu Huang, do you have time tomorrow? I would like to invite you to have a simple meal at our shop?"
"Master, Master, I have admired Bailianfang for a long time. I wonder if I can send my son to Bailianfang as an apprentice?"
"It is a great honor to meet Master Lu Huang today. I would like to buy one..."
Lu Huang was surrounded again.
Tang Boyuan, who was about to see him off, was also surrounded with him.
Tang Zheng looked at their reactions, just like he was seeing the fans who were reluctant to leave after the concert in his previous life.
It’s just that fans ask for autographs and photos, while these guests ask for more.
Of course, for fans, their idols’ concerts will still take place, but for the guests in Wulong Town, it will be absolutely impossible for them to receive an invitation from a six-star expert again!
There is only one group of people...
They had no feeling at all about staying with Lu Huang any longer.
As soon as the tea party ended, Tang Xiaotang stood up.
She had her hair tied up in a neat ponytail. She looked at Tang Zheng quietly and nodded.
Tang Zheng smiled and nodded to them as well.
Afterwards, the young men from Tangjiabao who came to the banquet left Yangxian Tower one after another and disappeared into the misty night...
