Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 191 Those who believe in me, stay
After seeing the miserable condition of Manager Li, Tang Zheng left with a smile!
He had a relaxed look on his face and walked with a whirring sound, which was totally out of place with the atmosphere of the entire Tang Family Castle which was dominated by the blood sacrifice.
"Hey, Master?"
"Master, what are you so happy about?"
"Uh... Master, what happened?"
Tang Xiaotang and the others who had just arrived thought that something good had happened to Tang Zheng when they passed by him...
But when they went to the woodshed they saw...
Where is the good news?
The blood sacrifice has entered its final level, and there are only seven days left before the old man from the Lan family comes out of seclusion.
This is definitely bad news!
"What is the master still laughing at?" Tang Xiaotang felt creepy just by looking at the aged appearance of Manager Li. When she thought of Tang Zheng's laughter, she felt even colder.
However, Tang Boyuan could not answer this question for her.
A Tang Family Fort steward on the side looked at Tang Boyuan, sighed, and said, "Xiaotang. Ask someone to call Tang Zheng, Fenghua, Zixie, Xuanxuan, and all the brothers and sisters of your generation in Tang Family Fort to the hall. We have something to discuss."
Tang Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat.
Gathering all the young people in the middle of the night did not sound like a good thing.
However, when she saw the calm and serious looks of Tang Boyuan and the others, she nodded and did as they asked.
In just a moment, all the juniors gathered in the hall again.
The only one missing was Tang Zheng.
"Where is Tang Zheng?" Tang Boyuan asked.
"The master is not in the room. The tribesman guarding the door said that he just left on horseback alone."
"Leaving on horseback? Without any luggage?" asked a steward with a frown.
"Uncle Tang Jian, the teacher would not leave without saying goodbye." A seven-year-old girl next to the steward pulled his sleeve and said.
Not bringing any luggage clearly showed that Tang Zheng was not planning to leave Tangjiabao.
But Tang Boyuan smiled bitterly: "I hope he leaves without saying goodbye. There are only seven days left, whoever leaves is a winner!"
Strictly speaking, Tang Zheng was not his blood relative, but after spending several months with them day and night, Tang Boyuan had already treated him like his own son.
Although emotionally, Tang Boyuan hoped that Tang Zheng would flee as far away as possible to save his life and plan for the future, but rationally speaking, based on his understanding of Tang Zheng, it was unlikely that Tang Zheng would just pack up and run away without saying a word.
After spending a long time with Tang Zheng, Tang Boyuan even always felt vaguely that Tang Zheng's attitude towards danger was a little different from theirs.
Therefore, what he saw in Tang Zheng was that he was always proactive in solving problems, and he could not see any sign of being "afraid of trouble".
"Since Tang Zheng is not here, Xiaotang will tell him later." Tang Boyuan looked at the younger generations who had gathered together, "I am useless. The Tang Family Fort has been based in Wulong Town for nearly a hundred years, but in my generation, it is facing such a crisis of life and death... Just now, we have confirmed that in seven days, a five-star expert will come out of Yinlan Villa. In the face of the power of a five-star expert, evacuating the entire fort, you should also be able to judge that it is not a very realistic thing!"
"Dad..." Tang Xiaotang's heart sank even more when she heard Tang Boyuan's words.
"Yinlan Mountain Villa blocked the news in order to wipe out our Tangjiabao in one fell swoop. So, this time, as long as we can keep the seeds , it will be a victory! A big victory!" Tang Boyuan said.
Tang Xiaotang and the others were all staring at Tang Boyuan's face, and everyone's expression was gloomy.
Although Tang Boyuan tried his best to describe this victory as more exciting, the effect was obviously not very good, and no one was moved by the word "victory".
Tang Boyuan sighed and could only continue: "For this victory, we need to make some sacrifices. Now, the people I called here, as well as Tang Zheng, are the flames of our Tang Family Fort. As long as there is a flame, there is victory and hope... So, I want you to go back and pack your luggage now, only bring the necessary things, bring enough purple gold, and nothing else. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for you to leave Tang Family Fort in batches!"
Tang Xiaotang bit her lip and said nothing.
The other disciples of Tang Family Castle also showed no surprise or surprise on their faces.
Some of them couldn't help but shed tears, but no one raised any objection.
Tang Boyuan looked at them standing still, smiled and waved his hand: "Go ahead. The entire Yinlan Mountain Villa is sealed off, and no one should notice it within seven days. However, you only have seven days..."
One after another, the young men from Tangjiabao nodded and went back to pack their luggage.
They knew that this departure might mean saying goodbye to their elders forever.
However, they are still too young and have not yet grown up to be qualified to live and die with Tangjiabao!
Even the little kids who were only a few years old didn't cry and make a fuss and say they must stay...
There was silence in the hall for a long time.
People were returning to their rooms one after another.
Tang Xiaotang bit her lips for a long time. She finally made up her mind and raised her head: "Dad."
"Hmm?" Tang Boyuan's lips trembled a little, but he forced a smile on his face, "Anything else?"
"If this had happened a year ago, I would have listened to my father, but... now I can't..."
"Xiaotang?" Tang Boyuan didn't expect that it was his own daughter who raised the objection.
"Dad also said that once you are a teacher, you are a father for life. Now, I know your opinion, but I will not make a decision immediately before hearing the Master's opinion!"
"..." Tang Boyuan stared at Xiaotang for a long time, then changed his mind and smiled again, "Okay."
He understood Tang Zheng and knew that Tang Zheng was not an emotional person.
The relationship between Tang Zheng and his students is deeper than that between him and Tang Boyuan and others. As long as it is the right decision, Tang Zheng should not oppose him.
Tang Xiaotang also knew that Tang Zheng would not act on emotion...
However, she understood Tang Zheng better, and she would only give up on his suicidal ideas when he completely bowed his head and admitted that he was at a dead end.
Otherwise... hehe...
"I'll go back and pack my things first." Tang Xiaotang looked at Tang Boyuan deeply, "If this is our last farewell... I can make a promise to Dad."
"No need to tell me, I know." Tang Boyuan smiled, and several managers also smiled, "Tangjiabao will definitely be stronger in your hands than in my hands!"
Tang Xiaotang nodded, shook her hair, and turned away.
The moment she turned around, the tears that she had been holding back in front of Tang Boyuan began to fall.
She doesn't want to leave!
If she were given the chance to choose, she really wanted to die here. She wanted to stay with Tang Boyuan and the elders of Tangjiabao and rest in peace next to her parents!
But she grew up in Wulong Town, and she knew very well that she had no choice in many things.
Responsibility is responsibility. There is no room for picking and choosing when it comes to responsibility!
If Tang Zheng really had the same opinion as Tang Boyuan, then the moment she packed her bags and walked out of the gate of Tang Family Castle, she would have become the lord of Tang Family Castle, and no longer the little girl who had someone to rely on when something happened.
"Master, Master..." Tang Xiaotang gritted her teeth, walked faster and faster, and called Tang Zheng's name over and over again in a low voice, "But I'm not ready yet..."
…
Tang Zheng did not return home all night.
He left alone at night, but came back the next morning with four people.
In addition to Tang Zheng, there are Xu Qingyan, Luo Fei... and Hua Yingxiu!
Moreover, as soon as they came back, before Tang Boyuan and Tang Xiaotang had a chance to announce the decision to temporarily evacuate, they just hid in the courtyard and closed the door.
"You said that you will be responsible for three meals a day while I live in Tangjiabao doing research." Luo Fei licked his lips and said.
"Yes, yes, you don't need to emphasize it anymore." Tang Zheng said unhappily, "Besides, there is no such 'period'. It's a total of five days. Whether you can handle it or not, you can leave."
"Fuck! I haven't even learned to read yet, but I'm already learning formations. Do you think I've learned everything I can think of? I can design the formation you want in three days, at most! But I must stay for five days!" Luo Fei patted his chest and was not polite at all when he made the request.
"It's up to you. Once you figure it out, you can live here for the rest of your life, and no one will stop you." Tang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to Hua Yingxiu, "Xiu'er, is it possible to realize what I said last night?"
"If Luo Fei's formation is designed and I can get the blood of the Yinlan Villa's bloodline, I can start making the Gu..." Hua Yingxiu nodded with a smile.
"Okay!" Tang Zheng got their unequivocal promise and looked at Xu Qingyan, "Luo Fei and Xiu'er will be responsible for treating the root cause, and the temporary solution... will be left to you."
"Yeah." Xu Qingyan simply responded.
"Then you go first...and pay attention to your own safety." Tang Zheng added.
Xu Qingyan nodded, stayed for a short while and then left.
Tang Xiaotang waited for a long time before Tang Zheng came out of the courtyard.
She hurriedly followed him: "Master...last night, my father and the others made up their minds to...send us away. We are all ready, but I still want to hear your opinion."
Tang Zheng looked at Tang Xiaotang in surprise: "Let's go?"
When Tang Xiaotang saw Tang Zheng's expression, her heart leapt with joy: "Master? Master, do you mean... not to leave?"
"Tangjiabao is a place with beautiful scenery. Why would you want to leave?"
"..." Tang Xiaotang's forehead was covered with black lines again, "Who is discussing the scenery with you!"
The focus now is Yinlan Villa, the old man of the Lan family, and the blood sacrifice.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can be completely destroyed in front of a five-star strongman!
Tang Zheng looked at Tang Xiaotang who was about to laugh and cry because of him, and gently touched her head: "You can go, take a walk, travel, relax, it's not impossible. If you trust me, you can stay."
"I believe you, so I'll stay." Tang Xiaotang's eyes, which had been dark all night, suddenly brightened up.
