Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 33: The Bandit Living on Paper
Tang Boyuan was really angry this time.
The joke about the burning flower fields at Yinlan Villa happened earlier.
The Tang Family Fort was even more powerful. It wasn't that their property was attacked, but someone broke into their territory and committed crimes!
"Who is it? Has his identity been found out?" When Tang Boyuan rushed to Meng Fenghua's courtyard, he was so angry that he listened to it three times before he understood what was going on.
After hearing this, I was even more furious.
What if the people living in the secluded corner of Tangjiabao were not the Meng sisters?
Could it be that the assassin really got away?
If the news of Tangjiabao, one of the two major forces in Wulong Town, being able to be freely come and go like this gets out, not only will they not be able to keep the shops they just acquired on West Street, I'm afraid even those on East Street will be ready to make a move.
Where is Wulong Town?
Once people think that there is something wrong with your ability, it will only take overnight !
Some of the disciples of the Tang Family Fort who were often away from home, except Tang Xiaotang who was still nursing and repairing her star veins, all rushed over to carefully identify it...
"Wulong Town is so small. If there really is a warrior who has reached the peak of one star at the age of seventeen or eighteen, there is no way we don't know him."
"Yeah, not only have I never heard of it, I've never even encountered it by chance on the street."
"Uh, could it be Hidden Blue Villa?"
"Come on, a warrior of the one-star intermediate level or above from Hidden Blue Villa, I can tell you the names of the dishes one by one..."
No one had ever seen the assassin.
Tang Boyuan asked around but got no result, so he could only throw his sleeves and say, "Zixie, arrange more manpower to strengthen the defense of the side gates and the Master's courtyard."
Tang Zixie nodded and accepted the order.
"But, if it's not Yinlan Villa, then who could it be?" A disciple from Tangjiabao asked in confusion.
After the incident at Yinlan Villa, Tangjiabao became almost the only dominant force in Wulong Town!
No force has any reason to cause trouble for Tangjiabao at this time.
"I think today's assassination is very targeted. Could it be... Master Tang's old enemy?" Tang Zixie said.
"Old grudge...?" Tang Zheng calculated that he had only been in Xingyao Continent for about a month. How old could the grudge be?
It seemed that the only destruction he had caused in Xingyao Continent was setting fire to the flower fields in Yinlan Villa.
But haven’t the children of Tang Family Castle already said that they don’t know this assassin, that this assassin is not from Yinlan Villa, or even from Wulong Town?
"Hmm! Master, have you remembered any enemies?"
"Although I tried very hard to think about it, it seems that there is really no such thing." Tang Zheng smiled and held up two fingers. "In fact, there are two possibilities. The first is that she is a thief who came to steal things."
"..." All the disciples of Tangjiabao shook their heads. A top-level one-star warrior didn't try to attack the second life palace, but came to steal things? It was a pity that he could think of that.
"That's the second possibility..." Tang Zhengdao.
"Hmm! What is it?" A row of expectant eyes.
"That girl passed by Tangjiabao and saw that I was quite handsome, so she wanted to capture me and take me back to be her chief..."
"Haha!" Uniform contempt.
The pungent smell of blood was still spreading in the air. Tang Zheng just wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he was despised by a group of little bastards. Tang Boyuan seemed to be inspired by him and suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket!
Tang Zheng recognized that piece of paper very clearly.
That was the handwritten letter that Tian Meng asked him to bring to Tangjiabao before he left!
"Attack the stronghold... Attack the stronghold..." Tang Boyuan suddenly realized, "That's right! It must be the bandits who attacked Master Tian and Master Tang before, and they came to Tangjiabao to seek revenge!"
Due to lack of time, Tian Meng did not explain the situation in Fengmen Village in detail in the letter. He only said that he encountered bandits on the road and was rescued by Tang Zheng. He was seriously injured and needed to go to Tianyi Valley as soon as possible, so he temporarily entrusted Tangjiabao to Tang Zheng...
Tang Zhongxing on the side also obviously agreed with his elder brother's idea, and snorted coldly: "How can this be absurd! A group of bandits actually bully Tangjiabao!"
"Master, do you still remember where the bandits' lair is?" Tang Boyuan turned to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was completely fooled by their crazy imagination.
They are simply a group of bandits that only exist in letters. Where could they be?
"I guess there is no old nest at all..." Tang Zixie shook his head. "These bastards in Wulong Town, some go up the mountain to collect herbs, some go hunting, some go chopping wood, three or five of them get together, and as long as they come across a fat sheep, they will turn into bandits..."
In a place like Wulong Town, how could there be any professional bandits? It would be strange if they didn't starve to death.
Anyone, as long as the conditions are right, can immediately become a bandit. It's absolutely a one-click change of clothes!
"Investigate!" It was obvious that Tang Boyuan was not going to let it go.
No matter whether they are real bandits or just temporary bandits, he will catch them!
Tang Zheng stroked his forehead and sighed, without saying anything more.
Go ahead and investigate. They are just a bunch of non-existent bandits, so you probably won't find anything out.
"In that case, Master, since you are injured and frightened, just take a few days off. There is no rush for your studies." Tang Boyuan waved his hand and gave Tang Zheng a few days off.
"Well, fortunately, I wasn't frightened." Tang Zheng felt something was wrong as soon as he opened his mouth, "Ahem, I was frightened."
"That's good. Master, just rest assured and recover. Leave the rest to us at Tang Family Castle!" Tang Boyuan patted Tang Zheng on the shoulder, turned around and left with a group of Tang Family Castle disciples.
…
The battle between Tang Zheng and the Night Raider could be considered a battle between two assassins.
Therefore, compared to the last battle in the alley of West Street in Wulong Town, although the opponent this time was as high as the peak of one star, Tang Zheng suffered almost no injuries. There was only a scabbed wound on his palm. He didn't even need to use the petals of the Drunkenness.
The assassin's body had been cleared away.
Because of Tang Zheng's special request, the pair of boots worn by the assassin were left to him.
Because of this, he was attacked by the mocking eyes of the little bastards again.
"Big brother, how long are you going to stare at those boots?" Little Bell's voice came from beside him.
"How long have I been watching?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Half a quarter of an hour..."
"Then come on for another quarter of an hour."
No matter how you look at it, this is just a pair of ordinary black light boots. Although they have a little bit of girl's body fragrance, but with such a strong smell of blood in the air, any body fragrance can be completely ignored.
The fabric and the buckle were all very ordinary. The only thing that made Tang Zheng feel special was the thread used to sew the boots...
Of course, the line itself is a very ordinary line, but the direction of the line always gave Tang Zheng a very awkward feeling. He thought about it carefully for a long time before he figured out what that feeling was.
Such an ordinary pair of boots uses a series of very complicated stitching...
If Tang Zheng from his previous life saw a pair of boots with so many threads used, he would only have one comment to make - rich guy, you think the material is too cheap, right?
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and tried to inject star power into his boots...
However, when the star power hit the boots, it was as if it was bounced back by something and was unable to reach the intricate stitching at all.
It seemed as if there was something between the boots and other things, isolating the star power, even the sound and dust.
This is also the reason why the pair of boots made only a subtle sound like apricot blossom rain when they stepped on Tang Zheng’s roof …
That's because the assassin's footwork was not very good. If it were Tang Zheng, even if he was dancing Little Apple on the roof wearing these boots, he probably wouldn't make any sound.
Tang Zheng squatted in front of the boots for a long time, and suddenly, a bright light came on.
He looked back and saw that Meng Fenghua had raised the star image just to illuminate him...
With a "whoosh" sound, the constellations behind the little bell also rose up.
"Green and low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally friendly!" Tang Zheng smiled, and the stars also rose.
So the three of them sat there, staring at a pair of boots.
Under the bright light, Tang Zheng's eyes also lit up...
It turns out that the stitching in the boots has different colors at the intersections!
"Well, this circuit... the long line goes in and out of the three short lines, three in and three out, well, this place is the node..." Tang Zheng muttered to himself, carefully cutting the stitches one by one, almost like defusing a bomb!
Tang Zheng probed into the star power at the place where the stitches were torn, and there was no obstruction.
In just a few breaths, he had torn a pair of boots into a pile of rags...
"The Xingyao Continent... is indeed full of wonders!" Tang Zheng took a few deep breaths.
If someone else looked at the complicated wiring in this pair of boots, they would just think it was some kind of formation. However, with Tang Zheng's eyesight and experience of having all life skills at the maximum level, he could definitely find the first line and start from the very beginning, then analyze the principle of the star power arrangement of the entire pair of boots, and finally find a few places where extra silk threads were wasted.
This pair of boots that he got by accident was like a new window opened for him in this strange world...
"Have you finished reading?" Meng Fenghua looked at the pile of rags on the ground and asked Tang Zheng who stood up.
"Yeah, I've finished reading it." Tang Zheng nodded happily.
"Are you going to start practicing the Blood Shadow Escape Technique tomorrow?" Meng Fenghua stopped looking at the pile of useless rags and said, "First, let me remind you that although the martial arts book is precious, practicing it is very harmful to your body..."
In fact, without Meng Fenghua telling him, Tang Zheng had also seen with his own eyes that the female assassin used her own blood to release the Blood Shadow Escape Technique. So, even if he wanted to practice this martial art, he had to practice it slowly, otherwise he would die of blood loss before he could master the skill.
Tang Zheng shook his head: "Tomorrow, I will go to Wulong Town to buy a good dagger, and then see if there are any basic martial arts."
"Well, your roof has been blown off again. Where are you going to sleep tonight?" Meng Fenghua asked with a frown.
"Tragedy...why 'again'..."
"Eh?" A little bell on the side interrupted, "Big brother, you can sleep with me. I'm still very young, and there's still a lot of space on the bed for you. Besides, I'm already a one-star intermediate, so I can... uh... why are you glaring at me, sister?"
"Hehe, children should not mind what they say, children should not mind what they say..." Tang Zheng saw Meng Fenghua's anger rising and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Uh." Little Lingling had no idea what she had said wrong, and added with a bewildered look on her face, "Well... Actually, my sister isn't fat..."
