Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 171 Young City Lord Lu Wantang
Tang Zheng's gaze was on Lan Shaoze from the very beginning.
Lan Shaoze used to be in charge of a flower field in a mixed place like Wulong Town. He had powerful private armed forces both in the light and in the dark under his command, and three-star warriors devoted themselves to him. How proud and ambitious he was!
At that time, Lan Shaoze didn't even take the disciples of the two major sects seriously.
He said that Wulong Town could not accommodate him, and that the Yinlan Villa he was going to lead might really be able to obtain the fiefdom order, establish a new family, engrave the powerful power into their blood, and pass it down from generation to generation...
But now, Lan Shaoze, who was regarded as a future threat by all the elders of Tangjiabao, was just standing quietly behind Li Zhi?
His features remained the same, but his eyes were dull.
Just as Tang Zheng was looking at Lan Shaoze, Lan Shaoze was also looking at Tang Zheng. All Tang Zheng saw in his eyes was strangeness. His gaze did not stay for long, just a glance before turning away.
Tang Zheng sighed.
This is definitely not Lan Shaoze!
Who is Lan Shaoze? He was the only one who dared to come alone to challenge the party hosted by Tang Zheng at Bailianfang.
Seeing Tang Zheng, his mortal enemy, his reaction would never be such forbearance, let alone unfamiliarity.
The only explanation is that Lan Shaoze standing here doesn’t know Tang Zheng at all!
"Tang Zheng! What...what are you doing?" A voice at the table finally pulled Tang Zheng's gaze away from Lan Shaoze.
Tang Zheng came here to meet his old enemy, but who would have thought that the old enemy had completely changed. What's more coincidental is that there was also a new enemy at the table?
Li Zhi had no idea what grudge he had with Lan Shaoze, and he didn't even know that the person behind him was called Lan Shaoze. The scene he saw was that a person suddenly broke in, brought a chair, sat down by himself, and looked like he was about to eat.
Originally, when he saw someone suddenly break in, Li Zhi wanted to go up and scold him, but after seeing that it was Tang Zheng, he was like he had seen a ghost.
It’s him, it’s him. If it weren’t for him, I would have entered Yisu Academy long ago.
All the painstaking planning was destroyed by him.
He worked so hard in acting and lobbying. Was it easy for him?
Even in his dreams countless nights, he dreamed of how his plan was ruined by Tang Zheng.
Nightmare, Tang Zheng is his nightmare!
It had been so long since the academy assessment, and when he had finally come out of the nightmare and was starting his new life, Tang Zheng appeared again!
Moreover, today is a very important day for him!
Today in the Furong Pavilion of Chunxiao Restaurant, he met up with two big shots from Feishi City and was preparing to discuss a major event that might make him go down in history. If he could accomplish it, even if he, Li Zhi, could not be remembered for eternity, he would at least be remembered for eternity!
As a result, they just started chatting...
A thought just flashed through Li Zhi's mind: "Maybe I can take advantage of the opportunity to help the big shot do this important thing to teach Tang Zheng a lesson." However, a moment later, Tang Zheng actually broke into the room!
It's really fucking hell!
Can he read minds or teleport?
It was absolutely true that he had only thought about it for a moment, and he hadn't even had time to think about what to do specifically. After all, the matter they were discussing today was of great importance, and he couldn't forcibly cause any trouble just to discipline Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zheng was pulled back into his sight, smiling like an old friend, and waved at him: "Hi, Li Zhi? Long time no see."
Li Zhi's mind suddenly saw the colorful alpacas running past with cheerful little steps.
He just wanted to yell out, "Do I know you well? I don't want to see you!"
Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened, but he did not cause any reaction from Tang Zheng. Instead, he made Xu Feng, the commander of the Feishi City Guard, look at him fiercely.
What the hell? Didn't Tang Zheng come here to cause trouble for Xu Feng?
Of course, Li Zhi was paying too much attention to Tang Zheng before, and he didn't notice at all that when Tang Zheng came in carrying a chair, someone's expression changed slightly like his.
Of course it’s Xu Feng!
However, when Xu Feng saw Tang Zheng’s intrusion, the displeasure in his eyes only flashed by for a moment, and he continued to hold the wine glass in his hand and sip it.
He can never forget Tang Zheng's face!
Not long ago, Ning Mo tried to assassinate Tang Zheng in the street and was caught by Tang Zheng. However, he was unwilling to hand the person over to their city guards and even played tricks on him for a long time, causing him to be stabbed in the back by his subordinates for several days in a row.
As the chief of security in a city, he could get anyone he wanted. But Tang Zheng, a kid from some remote village, was ignored just because he was admitted to Yisu Academy. He couldn't swallow this humiliation.
He saw Tang Zheng's performance in breaking into the door. Although he was a little bit stronger than Li Zhi, his thought process was almost exactly the same as Li Zhi's!
I finally want to do something big and get close to a big shot...
Of course, we have to use a knife to kill someone!
Moreover, he had been investigating for a while and finally caught some clues about Tang Zheng. He was going to bring up Tang Zheng's case "in passing" after finishing the business and solve it together with the help of the big shot. But, as soon as his mind had just popped up, Tang Zheng suddenly appeared in front of him...
Looking again, it seemed that he was not the only one who saw a ghost. Why did Li Zhi also have an expression as if he had seen a ghost?
"Hi, Commander Xu, long time no see." Tang Zheng pointed at Ning Mo behind him and said with a smile, "I am a man of my words. Once he pays off his debt, I will immediately return him to Commander Xu!"
Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and cupped his hands with a forced smile.
Li Zhi and he looked at each other again, and there was confusion and bewilderment in the look between the two of them.
Of course, the most confused and chaotic person was not Li Zhi or Xu Feng, but the young man sitting in the third seat, which was the main seat.
There were three people at the table, but this was the only one Tang Zheng didn't recognize.
Although this person is young, he naturally exudes the aura of a superior. He must be either rich or noble.
He just raised his head and looked at Tang Zheng, Li Zhi and Xu Feng with interest, but did not ask any questions.
Tang Zheng had been playing games all day and felt his throat was a little dry. He smiled and reached out to take a wine glass from the table, filled it up, and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at the calm and composed Tang Zheng, Li Zhi felt a fire burning in his heart.
Tang Zheng saw the flesh on Li Zhi and Xu Feng's faces twitching, and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter? I just drank a glass of wine from you guys?" Then he looked down at the wine glass, "Is this wine expensive?"
The young man who had been sitting in the main seat had a smile on his lips.
Li Zhi finally couldn't help it and stood up.
"Enough!" He pointed at Tang Zheng and yelled, "You are fucking sick. Who invited you in? What's your business if we eat? Also, who told you to move around? Did you drink our wine without our consent?"
After Li Zhi's yelling, he realized that this was not his home court. He secretly glanced at the young man in the middle and saw that he was just smiling and there was nothing unusual. Then he let out a frustrated breath towards Tang Zheng.
Xu Feng frowned slightly, glanced at the young man sitting at the main seat, and held the wine glass in his hand without saying a word.
Li Zhigang only said one sentence, but it seemed like he had spent a lot of effort. He took a long time to say, "If you are just passing by, no one here wants to say hello to you. If you are here to cause trouble, we will also accompany you... If you are neither of those, you f*cking get out of here right now..."
clang!
Before he could finish his words, a sword suddenly appeared next to Tang Zheng's left shoulder, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Li Zhi, shining with light and chilling.
Li Zhi's words "get out" were forcibly suppressed by the sharp sword light!
The sword flashed like flowing water, but it was filled with murderous intent.
Li Zhi shuddered with fear and looked towards the person who drew the sword.
What kind of eyes are those?
Although there was no sign of anger on his face, the dark eyes and the cold light in them made Li Zhi feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"..." Tang Zheng turned around and glanced at Xu Qingyan.
When he didn't speak, Xu Qingyan rarely did anything extreme. What happened today?
What's even more bizarre is that Xu Qingyan seemed to have only used his sword to scare Li Zhi? Because after Li Zhi shut up, Xu Qingyan took back the sword.
If it was really Lan Shaoze standing behind Li Zhi, he would definitely be able to see at a glance that Xu Qingyan's behavior was very abrupt, so abrupt that it didn't seem like Xu Qingyan at all. Unfortunately, facing such an abnormal Xu Qingyan, Lan Shaoze did not react at all.
Xu Qingyan silently put the sword back to his waist and glanced at Lan Shaoze without making any sound.
But Li Zhi and the others didn't know that Xu Qingyan was acting abnormally. They only thought that he was eager to protect his master. Li Zhi didn't dare to say anything else and sat back in his chair softly. His chest kept rising and falling, and it was not difficult to tell that he was very panicked.
He wanted to reach out to take the wine glass to hide the embarrassing fact that he was frightened by one of Tang Zheng's followers, but his trembling arms betrayed his inner fear.
"Nephew Tang, you came here uninvited. I guess it must be because of something important?" Xu Feng snorted coldly. He thought that Li Zhi, who could sit at the same table with such an important person, must be a talented young man. But he didn't expect him to be so unbearable.
He was so scared when Tang Zheng kicked the door that he looked like he had seen a ghost. Then he was frightened into submission by one of Tang Zheng's followers. Although he looked a bit arrogant on the outside, he was actually a fool at heart.
On the contrary, the "house slave" standing behind Li Zhi, although he never said a word, made Xu Feng feel that he was no ordinary person!
However, based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Xu Feng still stood up.
"Oh, Commander Xu, I happened to pass by. I saw an old friend of yours inside, so can't I come in and say hello?" Tang Zheng's face was so warm that at first glance, people would really think it was Xu Feng's nephew who was saying hello.
The young man sitting in the main seat smiled even more broadly, and turned his head to glance at the lattice door of Furong Pavilion.
The door is not made of crystal or glass, so how can you "see" an old friend inside?
He is telling lies with his eyes open and he is not even blushing!
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, nephew Tang Zheng, but if you were coming, you should have informed your uncle in advance so that I could book a private room for you. Look, your sudden intrusion is a bit too abrupt, isn't it?" Xu Feng said that he was taking care of Tang Zheng, but in fact he was just mocking Tang Zheng for not being able to afford a private room.
"Haha, thank you for your concern." Tang Zheng certainly understood the implication of Xu Feng's words, but, wasn't it a bit of ?
Seeing them talking nonsense back and forth, the young man sitting in the main seat couldn't stand it anymore.
He could see that Tang Zheng was quite free at the moment and could probably sit here all night.
But the problem is, they still have business to talk about!
If they continue to talk like this, we won't be able to talk about serious matters.
"So you are Mr. Tang Zheng, who is very popular in Feishi City recently. I have heard of you for a long time. You were admitted to Yisu Academy with excellent results, and also served as a casting instructor, solving assassination cases... Recently, your name has often sounded in the ears of my father and me..." The young man stood up deliberately, looking elegant, humble, polite and well-educated.
"That's right. I haven't asked yet... who are you?" Tang Zheng looked at the other person, unsure of who this person was.
"Do you know the name of the young city lord? Don't you look at your own identity?" Li Zhi muttered in a low voice in annoyance, and secretly praised the young man with the golden crown and jade belt.
The young man smiled, pretending not to hear what Li Zhi said, clasped his fists towards Tang Zheng, and said with a smile: "I am Lu Wantang!"
