Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 174 I believe you, but I don’t believe this
"Me." Tang Zheng touched his nose and walked in from outside the yard.
After all, eavesdropping is immoral, and he actually eavesdropped halfway through and then came out to applaud, which is quite thoughtful.
Hearing the familiar voice, Leng Zhan relaxed his guard: "What's the matter?"
"What do you think? He is not those little girls in the academy. Why would he come here so late for no reason..." He smiled calmly, his eyes full of ridicule.
If Leng Zhan were still in the capital at his age, he would already have a house full of wives and concubines.
But in this bitter and cold borderland, he has not paid the slightest attention to his lifelong affairs and is still single.
No matter how cold Leng Zhan's personality was, he was still a legitimate descendant of the Changyuan Leng family, one of the eighty-one aristocratic families! Therefore, it was normal for those little girls in the academy to come here in the middle of the night to have an encounter or something. Not to mention that Leng Jing could already make a joke of this, even Tang Zheng, who didn't come here very often, had bumped into them twice.
Leng Zhan listened to the calm words, shook his head indifferently, turned to Tang Zheng and said, "Tell me?"
"Is it convenient?" Tang Zheng pointed at Leng Jing.
"Convenient! Convenient!" Leng Jing quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't live here. You guys talk, I'll leave now."
"Uh, that's not what I meant..." Tang Zheng thought that Leng Jing was also a direct descendant of the Leng family. It didn't matter even if Leng Jing heard what he was going to say. He just wanted to ask Leng Zhan if it was inconvenient for his sister to hear it. It wasn't inconvenient for him, Tang Zheng.
Leng Jing whistled, and a furry figure in the bushes suddenly jumped into her arms, its pointed little head nudging the groove on her chest...
Without waiting for Tang Zheng to finish his words, she waved her hand and said, "Okay. Xixi is back, so I'm leaving now."
She disappeared into the night just as quickly as she did when she first met Tang Zheng during the assessment.
There was silence in the yard.
Leng Zhan leaned against the door and had no intention of inviting Tang Zheng to come in and sit down.
After a moment, it was Tang Zheng who broke the silence: "Something might happen."
"Hmm?" Leng Zhan raised his eyelids and stared at him quietly.
"Do you know Lu Wantang?" Tang Zheng did not rush to tell everything, but narrowed his eyes and asked his question first.
"I don't know. However, the Lu family is a prominent figure in Feishi City. They have been guarding the border for generations. Although they are civil officials, they have played a role that is no less important than that of soldiers in several key battles to defend the city."
"How many years ago was that?"
"When Feishi City was still a frontier city."
"Then do you think it's possible that they have ulterior motives now?"
Leng Zhan did not answer, but stared at Tang Zheng with an inquiring look.
He didn't know Lu Wantang, but he knew Tang Zheng. Someone like Tang Zheng wouldn't come over here late at night just to ask him an irrelevant question.
Tang Zheng just stared at him straight and repeated his question firmly without any intention of explaining.
Leng Zhan shook his head: "Impossible."
When Tang Zheng heard what he said, he turned around without saying a word.
Leng Zhan watched him walk outside, and only spoke when one of his feet had stepped out of the gate: "At least you should explain clearly why you suddenly ask this."
Tang Zheng turned around and glanced at Leng Zhan with a smile: "You don't seem like a curious person."
Leng Zhan looked like a sculpture in the dim night, standing motionless in the corridor, and said quietly: "This is related to the Leng family, so I have to be curious."
Although there was still no sign of interest on his face, as one of the candidates for the succession of the Changyuan Leng family and very likely to become the eldest son of the Leng family, some things had nothing to do with his curiosity but were a kind of responsibility.
Of course, not many people in the Changyuan Leng family can see his responsibility.
In the eyes of many elders in the capital, Leng Zhan has become a rebellious son who insists on his own way, is stubborn and confident, and does not care about the Leng family.
"I have to be curious..." Tang Zheng smiled, unable to complain about this weird statement, and stopped at the door and said, "Today, I met Lu Wantang."
"Then?"
"He and two other people were planning to do something big."
"Lu Wantang is only seventeen years old, it's normal for him to be thinking about doing big things."
"Unfortunately, my enemy followed him and seemed to be going to do this big thing with him."
"The one called Lan Shaoze?" Leng Zhan actually still remembered Lan Shaoze's name .
"Lan Shaoze is already dead. I'm talking about Li Zhi and Xu Feng. Of course, you probably don't have much impression of them."
Li Zhi was a failed student and was unable to enter the Yisu Academy.
Xu Feng is the deputy commander of the city guard on the outer street, and he doesn't have much interaction with Leng Zhan.
Leng Zhan really didn't remember these two little people. Of course, he didn't care about them either. He skipped them indifferently and said, "Continue."
"If the big thing they are going to do is something else... such as recreating the glory of "Thunder God Technique"... then it is indeed quite normal..." Tang Zheng glanced at Leng Zhan, whose mouth twitched, and said in a deep voice: "But, what they are going to do is... robbing tombs!"
"That's a serious crime." Leng Zhan uttered these four words in a low voice.
"If it was just an ordinary felony, there would be no need for me to make a trip in the middle of the night." Tang Zheng yawned, and when he looked at Leng Zhan again, his eyes were already cold, "The tomb they want to rob is Leng Xianyuan's!"
"..." Leng Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his reaction was not much better than Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan at that time.
This was the first time that Tang Zheng saw such complex fluctuations on Leng Zhan's face.
It was not anger, sadness, indifference, confusion or inquiry, but an expression that Tang Zheng had never seen before and could not be described in normal words.
Tang Zheng simply did not hide a single word and told him in detail how his men investigated Lan Shaoze, how they found the restaurant where they were staying, how they went in to provoke them, and how they came out to use the little bees... He explained everything in detail.
"I don't believe it." After Leng Zhan heard everything, the conclusion he came to was these three words.
"I don't believe it either." Tang Zheng also said he didn't believe it.
Leng Zhan's eyes were slightly surprised.
Tang Zheng had personally experienced the whole thing, heard it with his own ears, and described it to him in person, so why did he say didn't believe it?
Leng Zhan frowned slightly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe this! They guard the border for the Changyuan Leng family. In the hundreds of years when they were in charge of the government affairs of Feishi City, the Expeditionary Army, the Linyin Army, the Black Flag Army, the Dragon Tooth Army, the Red Tassel Army, the Golden Platform Army... more than 20 armies have been replaced, and they have provided the military with long-lasting border support... They have been loyal for generations and are the border pillars of my Leng family!"
For a loyal family like theirs, if anyone tried to touch Leng Xiangyuan's tomb, they would be the first to jump up and shout for killing!
Whatever happened, it couldn't have been them going off to rob the grave.
Leng Zhan would not analyze those big principles. He only believed that these were the loyal people of their Leng family, and he would not doubt them casually.
After listening to Leng Zhan's opinion, Tang Zheng nodded and said, "I don't believe it because... with their strength, I'm afraid they can't even enter the gate of Leng Xiangyuan's cemetery, right?"
"The cemetery... the gate..." Leng Zhan frowned again when Tang Zheng mentioned this, "Where is Leng Xiangyuan's cemetery? Even I don't know!"
"..." Now it was Tang Zheng's turn to be speechless, "How much of a homebody are you!!"
