Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 196 Hey, gentlemen...
Tang Boyuan was not in the mood or energy to elaborate on the origins of Tang Ququan and the others.
Since Tang Ququan and others are required to work hard, it is only natural to feed them until they are fattened up before slaughtering them.
"My third brother will be back tomorrow." Tang Boyuan watched Tang Xiaotang and the others gradually leave and let out a long sigh. "If we are lucky enough to survive this battle, I will tell you more about Tang Ququan and the others."
"No hurry." Tang Zheng came to Tangjiabao, but was not questioned by Tang Boyuan. He certainly would not ask about the origin of Tangjiabao.
Besides, hearing Tang Ququan and the others keep mentioning "wild veins" and "clear out the family", why would Tang Boyuan need to explain in detail?
Tang Zheng can imagine hundreds of scenarios in his mind.
It was nothing more than the kind of background that he encountered on average once a month in the game in his previous life, such as elopement and house fighting.
A bloody life needs no explanation.
"Well, no rush." Seeing that Tang Zheng did not ask further questions, Tang Boyuan nodded, "If Xiaotang is successfully admitted to Yisu Academy, there are some things that she must know."
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Ouyang Luoluo, the steward of Yisu Academy, seems to be quite optimistic about her. She should have no problem getting into the academy."
A relieved smile also appeared on Tang Boyuan's face.
After Tang Xiaotang's mother passed away, he lost interest in women and had no other children. Tang Xiaotang is his only daughter. It can be said that raising Tang Xiaotang is the proudest achievement of his life.
If Tang Xiaotang can really enter the aristocratic academy, then she should be able to safely pass the three-star hurdle.
You know, when he was lighting up the third life palace, he failed four times before he succeeded!
He succeeded after failing four times. He is still quite talented. At least he can still fail four more times...
Most warriors would either die if they failed to attract the stars once or twice, or their star veins would be severely damaged and would be difficult to repair even after spending half a lifetime.
Of the three brothers of the Tang family, except for the second oldest brother Tang Zhongxing, Tang Boyuan and Tang Shuhong had not entered the aristocratic family academy, nor climbed the Sushiwenxing Tower. The warriors like them who forcefully broke through to the three stars and actually succeeded in the end are one in a million!
In addition to their own efforts, the tenacious nature of their lineage of thorny astrology is probably also one of the reasons.
When thinking of their astrology, Tang Boyuan thought of Tang Xiaotang's astrological talent.
Tang Xiaotang is only sixteen years old. She was born without a lit fate palace, but she was able to light up two fate palaces at this age. No one could refute her when someone said she was a genius.
However, Xiaotang never awakened her talent, which was not only a thorn in her heart, but also made Tang Boyuan very worried.
If he could successfully enter a noble family-level academy, even if it was just a border town academy of a third-rate family, at least Xiaotang's astrological talent could be officially awakened!
…
After Tang Zheng finished his dinner, he went to help Luo Fei.
Luo Fei patted his chest and guaranteed that the smaller version of the blood array could be carved before midnight today. Tang Zheng didn't know whether he was reliable or not, so he went over to help, but in fact he was the supervisor, and he also gave Luo Fei some special treatment.
Tang Ququan and his group of temporary guests have been transferred to the best rooms in Tangjiabao.
The beds in their rooms were all large agarwood dragon wood beds just shipped from Jubao Pavilion, and the thin quilts on the beds were made of water-spun fabric, a natural spun yarn that flowed like water when covered on the body. There was no feeling at all. They had only seen this once or twice in the bedrooms of the elders of the aristocratic families.
Soon, it was dinner time and dinner was delivered to the room, which turned out to be snow salmon, sunflower mushrooms and various delicacies from land and sea.
In inland areas not near the sea, a Snow Shadow Salmon costs as much as ten taels of liquid silver. Even Tang Ququan, a four-star warrior, may not be willing to eat it once a year.
Tang Ququan's eyes fell on the plates and bowls of dinner again...
He turned the bowl over with a twitch in his face, and sure enough, he saw small jade characters on the bottom of the bowl - Yaoshan Tribe.
Even the bowls used for eating are fine porcelain produced by the Yaoshan tribe!
"You lowly bastard, you still have some sense." Although Tang Ququan was shocked, he felt secretly happy when he thought about how Tangjiabao entertained him with such a standard.
He is a four-star expert. In a place like Wulong Town, it is impossible to have a four-star expert.
So, he was secretly happy about the special treatment he received...
But what he didn't expect was that when he walked out of the door and into the yard, he saw that all of his subordinates, three-star warriors, and two-star peak warriors, were supplied with the same supplies!
"Tangjiabao..." Tang Ququan suddenly froze in place.
While he was in a daze, one of his men called him over and whispered to him, "Master Quan, I just heard the maid who brought the food say something when she left. That Tang Boyuan has actually broken through to the four-star level!"
Tang Ququan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment: "Just him? How is it possible!"
The subordinate was completely unaware of Tang Ququan's change of expression, and smiled: "You haven't seen the field formation of Tang Family Fort, and their Star Attracting Pool. Tsk...you should go and have a look. If you can negotiate with them to borrow some of it, I'm afraid I may have a chance of breaking through to three stars..."
Another subordinate also said with a smile: "If I can borrow their field formation and the Star Attraction Pool, and have such treatment every day, I will stay in Tangjiabao without any reward."
"I also heard that we are just a group of helpers they invited. There will be several , and they will all be treated the same way!"
"Tsk, Tangjiabao is too modest. They are not just hiring people to guard the fort. I think they are planning to swallow up Wulong Town in one gulp!"
Tang Ququan's face turned red and white as he listened to their discussion. In his eyes, how could Tang Boyuan and his friends reach the four-star level? How could their family afford to build a good formation?
Could it be that Tang Boyuan and his men really have a strong foundation behind them, and they are just a tiny force that was invited here, and there will really be an independent corps arriving tomorrow?
Before he could scold his men, he saw a young man coming to the gate of the yard, followed by Tang Xiaotang, Tang Zixie and Tang Xuan.
Tang Ququan recognized the three of them; they were the eldest son and daughter of Tang Boyuan, Tang Zhongxing and Tang Shuhong.
However, the young man who led them was the first one he saw in the hall today.
"Please welcome Uncle Tang Ququan, Uncle Tang Qingshan, and Uncle Tang Chongshan. Will the three of you start to fight as agreed?" Tang Zheng was standing at the gate of the yard and did not come in, but the three calls of "Uncle" became louder and louder.
Tang Ququan's face twitched a little.
If he didn't know that Tang Boyuan was already four stars, he might be able to maintain his arrogance as a strong man, but Tang Boyuan, whom he despised as a bastard, was already four stars, so what qualifications did he have to be called "uncle"?
He said nothing, but couldn't get angry, so he followed Tang Zheng out of the door with the other two "masters" and asked, "Are there enemies attacking? Or where do you want us to attack?"
"You guys just arrived, how can you do such heavy work right away?" Tang Zheng smiled, "We are just activating a formation for us tonight..."
"Do we need to take action just to activate the formation?" Tang Ququan sneered.
But, they should be grateful for what they have received. They have paid for Tangjiabao, provided them with good food and drink, and called them "uncle". They can't just shirk their responsibilities for the first thing, right?
Besides, it’s not a big deal, it’s just activating a formation!
…
"Huh..." Luo Fei stretched.
He finally completed the finishing touches of the miniature blood array on a vacant space of less than five square meters in front of his house .
When Tang Zheng and Tang Ququan and the other two came here, the stars on his six-pointed star plate were gradually fading away.
When Tang Ququan saw his horoscope, his expression changed slightly: "Is this a six-pointed star-fixing disk? May I ask which branch of the Luo family of Bailianfang you are from?"
When Tang Ququan saw the six-pointed star plate, he was so shocked that he felt dizzy.
Even though the Star Hunters traveled around the continent, wherever there were Auxiliary Star Crusher Stones, they would be there, but could the Tang Family Castle easily invite anyone from the Star Hunters Family at Bailianfang?
Luo Fei looked Tang Ququan up and down, and asked in confusion: "Do you know the six-pointed star plate? I am Luo Fei, the descendant of the Luo family. Who are you?"
Direct bloodline!
Tang Ququan almost pulled his ears off.
How could the direct descendants of the thirteen core branches of Bailianfang be here!
Tang Ququan said quickly: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, I am from the Qingshu Tang family, and I am Old Tang from the Seventeenth Family..."
Luo Fei was completely stunned: "You? The Patriarch of Qing Tang?!"
"...'s twenty-second son, Tang Yuqing..."
"..." Luo Fei was speechless for a while.
"Yes, my father is Tang Yuqing, and I am from his twelfth room." Tang Ququan bowed and finished his words with great difficulty, "I am the second child in the twelfth room, and my name is Tang Ququan."
It's so hard for them to introduce themselves.
If you were like Luo Fei, you could just use two words, "direct lineage", to explain it clearly.
Luo Fei blinked several times.
He knew that the Qingshu Tang family - the famous "five aristocratic families with one surname, and two top-level families from the same lineage" in the mainland - meant that among the eighty-one aristocratic families in the Xingyao Continent, there were five families with the surname Tang, and the Qingshu Tang family was one of these five families.
Among the eighty-one aristocratic families, their ranking is similar to that of the Changyuan Leng family, but they are not a border-guarding family. Their territory is between the Changyuan Leng family and the Qiantang family, and it is not large. They have had the enfeoffment order for less than three hundred years, and there are probably only a few tens of thousands of aristocratic family members.
However, the Qingshu Tang family has their own secret martial arts of hidden weapons, which is very amazing. Even the noble families ranked above them will not provoke them easily.
Luo Fei scratched his head. There were tens of thousands of disciples in a noble family. Even their head of the family might not remember them all. How could he figure it out? So he didn't ask directly and turned to Tang Zhengdao: "What is he doing here?"
"He has four stars, and he is here to activate the formation." Tang Zheng found it funny and spread his hands.
Tang Xiaotang and the others who were following behind Tang Zheng all looked puzzled.
They had no idea what Tang Ququan was saying, but they also vaguely felt that they seemed to have some relationship with Qing Tang.
"Oh, it's these three?" Luo Fei nodded, "Okay, leave them to me. You can set off now!"
"Should I take action when I see Xinhuo?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Well, when you see my signal fire, it means the formation has been successfully activated, and you can start..." Luo Fei nodded seriously, holding a colorful little wooden man in his hand, and led Tang Ququan and the others into the formation.
Tang Zheng handed the person over to Luo Fei, waved to Tang Xiaotang and the others, patted his butt and left.
Tang Ququan frowned and said silently in his heart: "His name is Tang Zheng... Who is Tang Zheng? He has a good relationship with the direct line of Bailianfang... Could he be the heir of some new Tang family?"
