Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 172 Wow, This Is Really a Big Deal
Feishi City is a military fortress for generations and the first rear base of the Tianqin family. It is of great significance.
Therefore, even Tang Zheng, an alien, knows that the more important administrative organizations in Feishi City are basically hereditary. Only by inheritance can such an important city be under the control of loyal families for generations!
Therefore, since Lu Wantang is called the Young City Lord, he must be the eldest son of Lu Xianji, the Lord of Feishi City, and the future ruler of Feishi City.
"So you are the future city lord?" Tang Zheng looked into Lu Wantang's eyes. Although he was surrounded by his two enemies, he did not look unpleasant.
Of course, his temperament, which comes from being in a high position for generations, doesn't make him very likable.
Lu Wantang smiled and raised his glass: "Young Master Tang is indeed a young hero. Not only did he get into the Yisu Academy with excellent results, but he also surpassed all the other players in the Star Arena and ranked third in just two days. I believe the championship position is just around the corner! Our Feishi City Yisu Academy finally has a day to be proud of..."
He told Tang Zheng's recent achievements without missing a single detail, then raised his head and drank the wine in front of him.
Lu Wantang, who looked like an elegant scholar and could not drink much, finished a bottle of wine effortlessly, which made Tang Zheng laugh. He also filled a glass and drank it.
As expected, on someone else's territory, even the smallest matter can't be hidden.
He himself only found out about his star ranking before leaving the Star Arena, but the young city lord also knew it.
When Lu Wantang was about to pour the wine again, Tang Zheng smiled and raised his hand: "Sorry for bothering you for a long time. We will talk again some other day."
Lu Wantang already had some important matters to discuss with the people around him, so there was no need for him to keep Tang Zheng.
However, when he saw Tang Zheng today, he was still quite interested in "meeting again some other day" and even wrote down his address and gave it to Tang Zheng.
His action was a bit unnecessary because he lived in the City Lord's Mansion. Who didn't know where the City Lord's Mansion was?
Tang Zheng was also unambiguous and also wrote back his address and gave it to Lu Wantang.
Similarly, his actions were a bit unnecessary, because not everyone can enter the famous house in the world.
"Cuihu..." After Lu Wantang looked at the address Tang Zheng wrote back, she smiled knowingly.
There are only two and a half places in Feishi City that the City Lord’s Mansion has no control over. The first is the military camp, and the second is the world’s famous residence!
And that half of the place is the Yisu Academy.
But Tang Zheng happened to live in one of them!
"Mr. Tang...it seems like he has a very deep background." Lu Wantang sighed meaningfully.
"Not as good as the generations of loyalty of the Lord of Fei Shi City." Tang Zheng smiled and bowed. Although he didn't like Li Zhi and the others very much, he still had a certain respect for these capable ministers and generals who had guarded Fei Shi City for generations.
Hearing the words "generations of loyalty", Lu Wantang's eyes, which had never changed, flickered slightly. Although it was only a fleeting fluctuation, it did not escape Tang Zheng's eyes.
However, after all, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and Tang Zheng certainly would not have the leisure to care about what happened to Lu Wantang. After they bowed to each other again, he waved his sleeves and left without taking his chair with him.
…
When they arrived outside the door, Ning Mo had been waiting there without any nonsense. He glanced at the names of the private rooms on both sides and took the two of them to the shopkeeper's office downstairs.
"Boss, is there anyone in the Peony Pavilion and the Rose Pavilion?" Tang Zheng went downstairs, threw out a purple gold Tongbao , and asked with a smile the boss who was busy counting the accounts.
The shopkeeper took a look at the purple gold Tongbao in Tang Zheng's hand and his eyes lit up.
After all, their Chunxiao Restaurant is not a well-known restaurant in Feishi City, and it is rare to see customers paying the bill with purple gold Tongbao.
However, after hearing clearly the two private rooms Tang Zheng wanted, he licked his lips and shook his head regretfully: "Sir, I'm sorry, these two rooms are already occupied..."
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes, and Xu Qingyan also glanced at him subconsciously.
Just now they deliberately "passed by" the two boxes and were very sure that there was no one inside.
Ning Mo laughed outright: "Is there a way you do business? We just went up to see where the person came from?"
"Master, how can I not do business? Those two rooms have been reserved by the customer from Furong Pavilion. Although I don't know why they want three rooms, but..."
The shopkeeper actually knows the identities of Furong Pavilion’s customers.
However, he has been running the restaurant for so many years, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
What you shouldn’t say, you should insist that you don’t know if you know it. What you should say, you should find out if you don’t know it!
Although the truth is very confusing, it is also a way of survival for businessmen.
"Okay, boss, just give us a private room on the second floor, as long as it's quiet." Ning Mo said as a compromise.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. Xue Er, take the three gentlemen to the Lily Pavilion upstairs." The shopkeeper gave Ning Mo a look of gratitude and immediately ordered the waiter to take the three of them to the private room.
Lily Pavilion is far away from Hibiscus Pavilion. Even Tang Zheng cannot hear clearly what is being said in Hibiscus Pavilion.
After all, it's not that he can hear much farther than others, he just can clearly distinguish what he wants to hear in a noisy environment.
Originally, Tang Zheng just wanted to take one of the two adjacent private rooms, have dinner with the three of them, and listen to what Lu Wantang and the others were talking about. But since Lu Wantang and the others were so cautious and had already booked all the adjacent private rooms, he gave up the idea .
Unexpectedly, Ning Mo booked an unrelated private room.
"I'll treat you to dinner today." Ning Mo smiled and started ordering food right away.
While waiting for the food to be served, Ning Mo carefully took out a round plate from behind him. He looked so precious with it, as if he was afraid it would fall to the ground and break.
Tang Zheng looked at the palm-sized disc. It had some similarities with the star-pointing needle he had made, but he didn't see anything special about it.
Ning Mo silently used the star power, and a faint star power suddenly surrounded the disc.
If Tang Zheng hadn't been close to it, he would have thought it was just an ordinary decoration.
"What is this?" Tang Zheng asked.
"This is the 'Little Bee II' that I made after many improvements based on the military's reconnaissance surveillance device."
"Little...bee?" Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched.
Ning Mo's naming ability really needs to be improved!
"What's wrong?" Ning Mo looked at Tang Zheng, "What's the problem?"
"It's okay, it's okay, just continue." Tang Zheng finally managed not to laugh out loud, but his smiling face showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Ning Mo nodded and wiped the disc gently as if he was caressing a child.
As he wiped it, he said, "Compared to the previous 'Little Bee Generation', it is more stable, stealthy, and has a longer effective distance. The sound it receives is clearer and less susceptible to interference."
When Tang Zhengchu heard the word "Little Bee", he didn't understand what it meant at first.
However, after listening to Ning Mo's simple description, he immediately understood - isn't this the alien version of a bug?
"When we entered Hibiscus Pavilion just now, didn't you notice that they were very alert, Mr. Tang? They must be discussing something important! So, I deliberately let Xu Qingyan find an opportunity to draw his sword, and I quietly released the 'Little Bee' in their room. The star power fluctuations of Xu Qingyan just covered up the star power fluctuations when the Little Bee was activated."
Tang Zheng glanced at Xu Qingyan, who was standing aside with his hands clasped around his sword and an indifferent expression on his face.
No wonder he suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Li Zhi when he was in Furong Pavilion.
The pressure from a three-star warrior almost scared Li Zhi to death!
Now, Tang Zheng realized that Xu Qingyan was using his own star power fluctuations to cover up the star power fluctuations when Ning Mo activated the little bee.
"Excellent cooperation!" Tang Zheng gave a thumbs up.
Just now in Furong Pavilion, although he attracted almost all the attention of Lu Wantang, Li Zhi and Xu Feng, seeing that they had booked all the private rooms around them, it was clear that they were being quite cautious, and any fluctuation in star power would definitely divert their attention.
However, Ning Mo couldn't say anything to ask Xu Qingyan to cooperate with him.
The two people completed such complex communication with very simple gestures, which really showed their tacit cooperation.
Ning Mo's fingers left the disc, and there was still a hint of star power faintly shining at his fingertips. Looking closely at the disc, many lines could be seen on it, and ripples began to form layer by layer like water waves.
Soon, a rustling sound came from the disc.
It was like the soft but somewhat muffled sound that someone makes when throwing a stone into the water.
But after a while, a cough was heard.
Tang Zheng immediately glanced at Ning Mo: "Li Zhi's."
Ning Mo nodded, and the star power he injected changed slightly, and the voice inside seemed to become clearer.
"Hehe, let's listen to what big thing they are planning to do." Tang Zheng leaned back in his chair, quietly waiting for Ning Mo's adjustments.
This little bee was made by Ning Mo himself, so it was of course quick to debug.
In just a few breaths, a completely clear sound came out from the disc...
However, just this first sentence almost caused Ning Mo to lose control of the star power that was controlling the little bee!
"Young City Lord, don't worry. If we succeed in robbing Leng Xiangyuan's tomb this time, our star power will be greatly improved. If we fail, our names will be recorded in history. We will definitely go all out." Xu Feng's voice was very low, but the impact on Tang Zheng and the others was not low at all!
"Well. Once you have memorized the map, burn it! From now on, don't talk about failure again. You only have one chance in your life to steal Leng Xianyuan's tomb. You can only succeed, not fail."
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.
Xu Qingyan's brows were tightly furrowed.
Leng Xiangyuan, the icy yet fiery statue in the center of Yisu Academy, used hundreds of years of his youth to create this beautiful blue city. He used his blood to defend the border that was on the verge of collapse. He used his own strength to exterminate a powerful race outside the border directly on the Xingyao Continent!
Li Zhi and his crew were going to rob the tomb of such a great man?
