Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 208: No, there is one person missing from the plot
Not only the academy stewards and senior military officers stood up and looked at Tang Zheng in shock. The most shocked person was Lu Tianji, who had been kneeling on the ground and had no reaction when Tang Zheng talked about the first two things!
The route map provided by Xu Feng was actually obtained from the demon tribe?
And they entered the cemetery with Lu Wantang only because Lu Wantang could open the coffin passage in the main tomb chamber!
Tong monster!
Even when Lu Tianji saw that Lu Wantang was half dead, he still maintained the demeanor of a border town lord. However, after hearing Tang Zheng say these three things, he could no longer bear it.
"Kneel down!" Leng Zhan saw him stand up and shouted coldly.
Hearing Leng Zhan's scolding, the two three-star warriors standing behind Lu Tianji simultaneously pushed Lu Tianji back.
Lu Tianji was a high-level five-star warrior and the lord of a city. He had never imagined that one day he would be pinned to the ground and unable to move by two three-star warriors.
He accepted the star power restraints on his hands and feet himself, otherwise, with the strength of Leng Buchen and others, they would have to pay a certain price to subdue him.
Why did he plead guilty and accept punishment without any resistance?
Although Lu Tianji knew that he would die, he still wanted to protect the entire Lu family!
If it was just the first thing, the two heads of him and Lu Wantang would be enough to apologize to Leng Xianyuan. Even if the second charge was confirmed, at most their direct lineage would have to pay the price with their lives. In fact, considering that they are a loyal family, the women and children of the direct lineage would have a chance to be saved.
However, if the crime of colluding with demons is proven, then no one in their family will have any hope of survival!
"You said, there is a demon king suppressed under Leng Xiangyuan's main tomb? Ha, ha ha ha... How is it possible? How is this possible!!" Lu Tianji suddenly laughed up to the sky, "There is a demon king in my Feishi City, and I didn't even know it?"
With just one sentence, Lu Tianji made Tang Zheng realize how powerful the Lord of Feishi City was!
He is indeed a powerful figure in the high-level political circle of the Changyuan Leng family.
If Tang Zheng had answered casually with "But you just don't know", then he could have completely confirmed the fact that he "didn't know".
As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. He didn’t even know the existence of the Demon King, so how could he be a demon?
Seeing that Tang Zheng was young, Lu Tianji asked this question deliberately.
However, he underestimated the thousands of tasks that Tang Zheng had seen in the games of his previous life, and underestimated the experience that Tang Zheng had in struggling with the planners of his previous life.
Any experienced professional player must max out the skills of "fire prevention, theft prevention and planning prevention". If you are not careful, you will be tricked by the plot. How can you have fun if you are tricked too many times?
So, facing Lu Tianji's tempting words, he sneered and replied: "Yes, there is a demon king in your Feishi City, how could you not know!"
Tang Zheng's answer was similar in meaning to the answer Lu Tianji wanted to elicit, but because of the different tones, the meanings were completely opposite!
"Then, may I ask where the demon king is now?" Lu Tianji did not argue, but asked back, "If it really exists, I'm afraid you don't have time to come here now!"
"It's dead." Tang Zheng was about to say that he killed it, but when the words came to his lips, they changed to, "Yisu Academy instructor Li Xiaoren fought with the unformed demon king and both were injured. In the end, because of Lu Wantang's fatal blow, Instructor Li died!"
When he heard the news of Li Xiaoren's death, Lu Tianji's eyes suddenly flashed.
The military generals who had just rushed back to Jade City and had not yet had time to understand the situation were hit .
Li Xiaoren is dead!
Of course, the point is not Li Xiaoren’s death, but...
Lu Wantang’s fatal blow?
"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Tianji's eyes dimmed, and he raised his head with all his might, saying, "How can Li Xiaoren, a four-star warrior, fight against a demon king?"
"I told you, the unformed demon king!"
"This is simply nonsense. Just based on your one-sided statement, you can frame the spirits of our Lu family who have been loyal for generations? That's right, we were blinded by money for a moment, and for the sake of a glamorous business, we offended the tomb of Leng Shuai. This is a serious crime that is unforgivable. My son Lu Wantang and I are determined to die to atone for our sins, but... even if I die, I will never admit to the crime of colluding with a demon!"
Tang Zheng smiled and spread his hands.
What surprised Lu Tianji was that Tang Zheng actually stopped talking.
He was originally planning to follow up Tang Zheng's rebuttal with a few more rounds of arguments, talking about the loyalty and bravery of their Lu family and completely denying the fact of communicating with demons.
Just when he was about to find an opportunity to continue speaking, Leng Zhan, who was sitting at the top, quietly uttered: "Wu, right there."
“…” Lu Tianji was completely stunned.
He glanced at the unconscious Lu Wantang, then at Leng Zhan, his entire face looking as colorful as a color palette.
Tang Zheng sighed. Perhaps Lu Tianji just couldn't understand why Lu Wantang would get involved in communicating with the demon when Leng Zhan was present!
What happened at that time that made Lu Wantang decide to cooperate?
"Wait..." Tang Zhengyi recalled the scene at that time and suddenly realized something was wrong.
He briefly described these three things, only mentioned Lu Wantang and Xu Feng, and basically restored the entire scene.
But, that was obviously not the case at that time!
Not only Lu Wantang and Xu Feng were involved in this matter, but also Li Zhi.
However, Tang Zheng discovered that if he did not mention Li Zhi's existence, it seemed that this "plot" also made perfect sense?
No! This is definitely not right!
Even in the plot of the game, there were very few famous characters who played supporting roles, let alone such an important tomb raiding matter, how could they possibly bring in a supporting role...
Moreover, Tang Zheng seemed to hear Li Zhi mention his brother when they were talking.
In the whole thing, this "Li Zhi's brother" seemed to be transparent.
But in fact, he was probably the original instigator of the whole thing!
Who got the route map from the demon tribe? Who knew that there were goods from the City Lord's Mansion in the main tomb? Who could make all the preparations, such as finding the body of the dead Star-loving Lan Shaoze and resurrecting him?
He is such an important and indispensable person, but he can be completely ignored when restoring the plot!
When Tang Zheng thought of this, his face darkened.
"Commander Wang!" Tang Zhengyi suddenly turned around and asked Wang Danyang, "Quick... If I'm not mistaken, the City Lord's Mansion has one or more independent combat groups that are not affiliated with the City Guard! Please monitor their movements as soon as possible..."
"You!" Two rays of light suddenly shot out of Lu Tianji's eyes.
Wang Danyang stood up suddenly and looked at Leng Zhan who was sitting at the top.
Leng Zhan stared at Tang Zheng for two seconds, then stood up and said, "Do as he says immediately!"
