Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 125 Someone is here to cause trouble
Seeing that Tang Zhenglian had already activated the star power vortex, Tang Xiaotang and the others, although puzzled, immediately drew out their weapons, all of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
But the next moment, Tang Zheng's double Kaio-ken directly hit the earth wall in front of him, and the soil splashed. Everyone felt that the whole cellar shook, and the soil on the top kept falling down.
If the cellar structure was not stable enough and had no internal supports, it would be in danger of collapse.
Tang Zheng didn't care about these at all. Instead, he looked at the huge dent in front of him that was created by the double Kaio-ken. He was stunned for a moment, then continued to dig relentlessly.
Because Xu Qingyan had previously dug down on the empty ground and unearthed a half-demon skeleton of a ling carp whose origins are still suspicious, when Tang Xiaotang and the others saw Tang Zheng also starting to dig frantically, they subconsciously walked over to help him.
Fortunately, this time there was no skeleton found underground like before. They dug five or six meters deep before they found something unusual. A big hole was created on the wall by Tang Zheng's Kaio-ken. When they dug about three meters, they found something unusual.
However, this time, what was dug out was no longer the suspicious white bones, but a gradually expanding black hole.
As Tang Zheng cleared the dirt around the dark hole, a perfectly round and neat hole suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Tang Zheng followed the faint light of the stars and took a quick look at the depth of the cave entrance, but the only thing that was certain was that this pitch-black hole was extremely deep, even beyond the depth that a hole should reach, and should instead be called a tunnel.
Looking at this equally strange and suspicious dark cave, Tang Zheng couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Has Wu Xie and Brother entered this cellar to protect the treasure? Or has Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang explored it?"
Tang Xiaotang and the others were speechless when they heard Tang Zheng's irrelevant words, but knowing Tang Zheng for so long, they had long been accustomed to his daily out-of-touchness.
"Master, this... is a secret passage?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
Tang Zheng nodded: "Well, if it's not a robbery hole, it must be a secret passage."
"It's so long, where should it lead to... Who is so generous... " Tang Xiaotang ignored Tang Zheng's nonsense and was too lazy to ask what a "stealing hole" was. She just muttered to herself.
Tang Zheng shrugged and said, "Who knows, maybe it's the Cloud Top Palace? Or... the Jingjue Ancient City? Or maybe it's some otherworldly thing?"
"Master?! Please, be normal. This tunnel might be closely related to the case!" Tang Xiaotang couldn't stand Tang Zheng's antics any longer. She waved her hands in front of him, trying to help him get his IQ back online.
After hearing what Xiaotang said, Tang Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Haha, it's not that it might be related, it must be related . All the puzzles have been almost solved. Now, we are just waiting for Qingyan's feedback."
When Ning Mo heard Tang Zheng's words, a look of surprise and excitement suddenly appeared on his face. After suppressing his emotions for a long time, he finally couldn't help but was about to ask. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the cellar.
Tang Zheng originally thought that it was Xu Qingyan who came back, but soon, he narrowed his eyes, activated the Cloud-Stepping Step directly, and rushed out of the cellar entrance.
The other people couldn't find anything wrong either. The footsteps coming from the cellar were chaotic, but it was certain that there was definitely more than one person coming.
So, everyone picked up their weapons and rushed to the cellar entrance with Tang Zheng.
Sure enough, a group of people had surrounded the gate of Ning Mo's stone residence and were confronting Xu Qingyan from a distance.
When Tang Zheng saw the group of people, he snorted in his heart, but with a warm smile on his face, he walked past the cold-faced Xu Qingyan and went to greet them: "Hey, isn't this our commander Xu Feng? What brings you to such a remote place?"
Seeing the exaggerated smile on Tang Zheng's face, Xu Feng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he arched his hands to Tang Zheng and said in a very familiar manner: "My dear nephew Tang, you are not only brave and resourceful, but also keep your promises. You have caught the murderer who assassinated you in the street last time so quickly. I, the commander, would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Feishi City. My dear nephew Tang, you have done a great deed for me. I will definitely treat you to a good meal someday. From now on, in Feishi City, as long as there is anything I can help you with, just ask!"
Hearing Xu Feng's words, Tang Zheng sneered and thought to himself, this Xu Feng is indeed an old fox. He started by praising me very highly, then promised to treat me to a meal, and hinted that he has considerable power in the city and that the right thing to do is to make friends with him.
If it were an average, thin-skinned person, he might have really fallen into his trap .
But am I the kind of person who is thin-skinned? !
Not to mention that Ning Mo was a talent that Tang Zheng had his eyes on and that he owed him a lot of money, just the fact that Xu Feng ruthlessly interrupted Tang Zheng when he had been reasoning for a long time and was about to say "there is only one truth" and was enjoying solving the mystery and pretending to be cool was enough to make Tang Zheng very unhappy. How could he realize his intentions if he didn't give him a good bet?
"Haha, Big Brother Xu really understands me. Saying I'm brave and resourceful may be an exaggeration, but this promise is worth a thousand gold, and I think I'm worthy of it." As soon as Tang Zheng opened his mouth, he unashamedly took the compliment from Xu Fengfa and put it on firmly.
When Xu Feng heard Tang Zheng's tone, he thought he had fallen into his trap. His face was smiling like a chrysanthemum in full bloom in September. With a pair of hawk-like eyes, he looked at Ning Mo, who was staring back at him like a tiger or wolf behind Tang Zheng. He rubbed his hands and smiled, "Then... nephew Tang, how about you hand over the murderer to our city guards, so that you can avoid the danger of being with this murderer?"
Hearing Xu Feng's words, Tang Zheng's eyes widened, and he looked completely stunned: "Commander Xu, you are such a joke! Haha, this Ning Mo, he is my personal property now, how can I hand him over to the city guards?"
When Xu Feng heard Tang Zheng's words, his bright smile froze on his face, and his tone suddenly became low: "Nephew Tang, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten our agreement? When I sent you out of the city guard's mansion that day, you promised in person that you were sure that you could determine the identity of the assassin the next day and hand him over to us!"
After hearing what Xu Feng said, Tang Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was not until Xu Feng and the soldiers behind him turned pale that he spoke again, "Really? Is that so? No way, there is no such thing! Commander Xu must have made a mistake. I remember it very clearly. My original words at that time were, 'Commander Xu, rest assured. With your assistance, I will definitely solve this case. I will let you know tomorrow who the assassin is'!"
"Look, it's clearly stated. I promise you all will know who the assassin is. Look, it's the one behind me. Come here, Ning Mo, come closer so that these people can see clearly who you are. Don't let people stab me in the back and say that I don't keep my word." Tang Zheng waved at Ning Mo behind him and said with a smile on his face.
Xu Feng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He stared at Ning Mo gloomily for a long time before slowly saying to Tang Zheng, "So, my nephew Tang has made up his mind not to hand over this murderer Ning Mo to my City Guard for disposal?!"
