Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 170: Enemies Meet Again, All My Enemies Meet Again
Tang Zheng walked towards Tang Xiaotang and the others. Of course, Tang Xiaotang had already seen Xu Qingyan in the carriage.
"Why is Xu Qingyan waiting for you here?" Others don't understand Xu Qingyan, but Tang Xiaotang knows Xu Qingyan. This person is very purposeful in doing things and he would definitely not come to Tang Zheng to have a drink or a meal or something.
Xu Qingyan’s appearance means something must be wrong!
As soon as Tang Xiaotang saw Tang Zheng coming over, she immediately asked, "Master, is there something urgent?"
"There's no rush." Tang Zheng replied with a smile.
"No hurry, then it's very dangerous?"
"It's still uncertain whether it's dangerous or not." Tang Zheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go back first. I'll go back to the academy after dinner."
"How about... I go with you?" Tang Xiaotang vaguely felt that Tang was doing something very dangerous.
Tang Zheng shook his head slightly.
Tang Xiaotang lowered her head and said, "Then be careful!"
Generally speaking, Tang Xiaotang would rarely insist on something that Tang Zheng refused. She nodded, turned around to look at Tang Zheng's carriage again, and then got on the carriage of Yisu Academy.
On the way back to the academy, no one spoke.
Just as the carriage entered the gate of the academy, Jiang Wuyan suddenly spoke: "For the next two days, I suggest that you don't go to the Star Arena. Just summarize the gains of the past two days in the academy and consolidate your martial arts. By the way, report the progress of the past two days to Instructor Li."
Jiang Wuyan's sudden words attracted the attention of everyone in the car.
"Why?" Tang Xiaotang looked suspicious.
"Do you still remember what happened yesterday when Tang Zheng was dazzled and saw Lan Shaoze?" Jiang Wuyan looked out the window quietly. It was already the familiar view of the academy.
Tang Xiaotang's eyes suddenly widened!
Lan Shaoze!
"Could it be that the Master is not dazzled, and Lan Shaoze is really back from the dead? Then wouldn't our Master be in danger..." Tang Xiaotang became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly wanted to ask the coachman to stop, and she wanted to turn back.
"When has Tang Zheng ever been dizzy?" Meng Fenghua stopped her.
"So...you knew yesterday that he was right. Lan Shaoze came back to life...but how is this possible?"
"Then, how is it possible that your Phoenix Blood Thorn?" Meng Fenghua turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang's face froze slightly. That's right, her Phoenix Blood Thorn was also a kind of resurrection from the dead!
She even came back to life with all her star veins broken, which is much more serious than losing her head!
Tang Xiaotang sat down immediately: "Then...we..."
"We should conserve our fighting power and then just wait. When he needs us to take action, he will naturally come to us... just like the first time he killed Lan Shaoze!" Meng Fenghua recalled the evening banquet that Lu Huang invited her to.
Tang Zheng and Azhi defeated Lan Shaoze, while Xiaotang and the others went out together to cut off all the water and food routes of Yinlan Villa. They took a two-pronged approach and coordinated seamlessly, catching Yinlan Villa off guard.
That was also the beginning of the rapid decline of Hidden Blue Villa.
Meng Fenghua's implication was very clear. Tang Zheng was able to challenge Lan Shaoze once, so was he afraid of sending him to hell again?
She glanced at Jiang Wuyan and nodded, "Got it. We won't go out for the next two days... Although, I don't think the resurrected Lan Shaoze is that scary."
Meng Fenghua was also born in the inner sect of Xuantian Yinyue Sect. If she had not been born with an evil star, her status in the sect would probably not be much different from Jiang Wuyan's in Zhaixing Sect.
Whether in terms of talent, foundation or determination, he naturally would not be afraid of Lan Shaoze.
However, the enemy's situation is unclear now, and Meng Fenghua also feels that keeping the troops in place and conserving combat power is the best option.
"Then it's decided." Leng Zhan folded his hands, opened his eyes and said, "But there's no need to stay indoors completely. If you want to go out, just call me."
…
A carriage pulled by two snow-covered war horses was strolling leisurely in the outer streets.
In the carriage, the incense made by Miss Tianxiang was burning, which was refreshing and pleasant.
There was only a low table in the small carriage, with four seats on both sides of the table. On the table was the fragrant tea that Daji had prepared and placed on the table before the carriage set off. At this moment, the tea was just warm, the most suitable temperature for drinking.
The tea is "Wangyue" produced by the Yaoshan tribe, and the water is "Ganling Tianshui" from the Tianchi of Lingshan Mountain of the Tianqin family.
In an environment like this, Ning Mo always felt that it was a bit of a downer to use it to discuss things involving fighting and killing.
However, they found out so much in that one day that if they didn't hurry up and tell everyone, they would not be able to finish by the time they got home.
"Mr. Tang, we have split into two groups today to mainly find out two things. The first is Lan Shaoze's situation, and the second is who he is with. Which one do you want to hear first ?" Ning Mo asked.
"Let's talk about Lan Shaoze's situation first." Tang Zheng smiled without thinking, "Other people's affairs, that depends on how much it affects me, we'll talk about it later."
When Tang Zhengxian heard about Lan Shaoze's situation, it was not surprising to the other two.
Xu Qingyan raised his eyelids slightly, and spoke in a deep voice, getting to the point: "He is Lan Shaoze."
Tang Zheng nodded slightly: "Then what?"
"But, it's not Lan Shaoze." Xu Qingyan said again.
Ning Mo wiped his sweat immediately after hearing Xu Qingyan's words. He couldn't stand Xu Qingyan's way of speaking anymore, so he took over the conversation directly: "Mr. Tang, from your description yesterday, it can be seen that although this Lan Shaoze was born in a powerful place - Yinlan Villa, he said that Wulong Town is too small to accommodate him, Yinlan Villa, and you, Mr. Tang... This shows that he is a person with high self-esteem and great ambitions. However, from our tracking today, it doesn't seem like that."
Tang Zheng hummed: "So, this is what Xu Qingyan said, he is Lan Shaoze, but he is not Lan Shaoze!"
The person is Lan Shaoze himself. Xu Qingyan will definitely not make a mistake.
Because, that was the person he had originally poured his efforts into, preparing to assist him in breaking through the Nine Stars and becoming a Star Lord!
"What did he do to make you sure it wasn't him?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Too many." Xu Qingyan counted expressionlessly, "Others got on the carriage first, but he got on later. Others sat down to eat, but he stood. Others talked, but he kept silent. Others told him to do something, but he did it..."
Although they were all trivial matters, in Xu Qingyan's opinion, each one seemed so out of place.
There is no ambiguity in Xu Qingyan's words. If it is yes, it is, and if it is no, it is no. He rarely says "yes and no".
But when it came to his old master Lan Shaoze, he failed.
"Okay, then what about the second thing? Who is he with?" Tang Zheng became interested in the second thing after listening to Xu Qingyan's words, "In other words, who is the 'someone else' that Xu Qingyan mentioned?"
Lan Shaoze is not the kind of person who can bend and stretch particularly well. If he were an ordinary small character, he would definitely not be able to be driven!
Seeing Tang Zheng asking with interest, Ning Mo spoke again: " This year, there is a failed student in Yisu Academy named Li Zhi."
As he spoke, he handed the written report on Li Zhi to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng laughed when he heard this. He thought that the person who could control Lan Shaoze must be some extraordinary figure, but he didn't expect it to be Li Zhi.
If Ning Mo's information hadn't been too detailed, he would have almost forgotten about this person... This warrior who almost eliminated all the warriors in the last round of the academy assessment with a pyramid scheme-like battle, snowballing into an opportunity.
He is not very strong, but he is very smart.
"Li Zhi... Li Zhi..." Tang Zheng looked at Ning Mo's intelligence, replaying the scenes of the academy assessment at that time, and smiled and shook his head: "Haha. This person can't control Lan Shaoze!"
"But, when he was taking the exam in the academy..." When Ning Mo collected information about Li Zhi, he was shocked by his greedy thoughts and actions at that time.
The purpose of setting up a trap is not just to get his own ten number plates, but to eliminate all the warriors participating in the assessment in the final round!
Moreover, he almost succeeded.
Tang Zheng still shook his head: "Li Zhi is very good at deceiving people, but Lan Shaoze grew up in a place like Wulong Town, and he is not as easy to deceive as the warriors who come to apply for Yisu Academy... Li Zhi, he can't do it."
Seeing Tang Zheng was so sure, Ning Mo could only say, "Then I'll go into details..."
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and tried to stop him: "Where are they now?"
"Chunxiao Restaurant." Xu Qingyan replied solemnly.
"Uh... why are you asking this?" Ning Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Dear." Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, suddenly lifted the curtain, and said to the driver outside: "Turn around and go to Chunxiao Restaurant."
Ning Mo stared at Tang Zheng as if he was staring at an idiot.
Tang Zhengjian had seen this kind of look at idiots many times. While opening the information about Li Zhi written by Ning Mo, he kindly advised him: "Confucius said that idiots are the father of funny people, and idiots are the mother of awesome people. Don't look at a young man with ideals, dreams, fantasies, and wild thoughts in this way! Thank you!"
Ning Mo continued to stare at Tang Zheng, as if he was staring at a hopeless idiot.
…
However, Xu Qingyan did not react at all to Tang Zheng's jumping way of doing things. No matter which direction the carriage went, it did not cause him any emotional fluctuations.
It was not until the carriage stopped at the entrance of Chunxiao Restaurant that Tang Zheng put the information in his arms, got off the carriage, and led the way in.
"Three of you, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" A man dressed as a waiter greeted Tang Zheng and others enthusiastically.
"We want..." Ning Mo was about to ask for a private room, but saw Tang Zheng waving his hand and quickly stopped himself from saying the second half of the sentence.
"It's okay, a friend is waiting inside." Tang Zheng waved the waiter away, turned to Xu Qingyan and asked, "Where is the person?"
"Hibiscus Pavilion."
"Haha, Furong, you are really elegant."
"Wait a minute..." Ning Mo was not as used to Tang Zheng's way of doing things as Xu Qingyan, after all. "Even if you want to go in and cause trouble for them, you should make a plan first, right?"
"Plan?" Tang Zheng smiled slightly, "That makes sense!"
"Then what should we do?" Ning Mo asked.
"Hmm..." Tang Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Then please help me find a chair first."
Ning Mo immediately went to find a chair for Tang Zheng: "And then?"
Tang Zheng smiled, picked up the chair, and pushed open the door of Furong Pavilion...
In the Hibiscus Pavilion, there was a large table filled with dishes. The aroma of the food and wine filled the air, making one's mouth water.
However, there were only three people sitting at such a large table.
Unfortunately, Tang Zheng knew two of them!
One of them was naturally Li Zhi, the failed student in the academy examination who had a great grudge against him.
The other was Xu Feng, the commander of the Jade Stone City Guard, who was humiliated by Ning Mo when Ning Mo assassinated him in the street.
The third one was wearing a golden crown and jade belt. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was the only person at the table that Tang Zheng did not recognize.
As for Lan Shaoze...
Just as Xu Qingyan said, he stood behind Li Zhi without saying a word.
Tang Zheng smiled again, put the chair next to the table, and sat down directly.
"Chairs...chairs are used...to sit?" Ning Mo lowered his voice and looked at Xu Qingyan in shock.
When Tang Zheng asked him to help find a chair, he also imagined various uses for the chair...
The only thing I didn’t expect was that Tang Zheng came in with a chair and sat down.
It would have been fine if he just came uninvited, but he also brought his own chair, the only thing missing was bringing his own tableware!
How big is this face?
Xu Qingyan glanced at him instead: "Chairs are not for sitting, so what are they for?"
Ning Mo suddenly felt that there was nothing he could say in response to this.
