Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 221 Got it!
Leng Jianqi, Leng Buchen, Liu Ruiqi and all the senior officers, deacons, instructors and others present all stared at Lu Tianji and Lu Wantang, father and son.
Lu Tianji was stunned for a while. He had already prepared this substitute when Lu Wantang was only seven years old.
He thought to himself that he had always provided him with good food and drink, and apart from regularly "repairing" his face and body shape, he had not treated him harshly in any way. All of this was so that one day he could die for Lu Wantang.
This time, things happened too suddenly and Lu Wantang had to be abandoned. So, this substitute was the Lu family's way out.
Lu Tianji has done a perfect job. In the past few days, the City Lord's Mansion has reported even the entry and exit of a fly. Even if someone wants to investigate this fake Lu Wantang, they will not have the chance!
Could it be that...
Is he losing his mind?
"Wantang, we are the blood of loyal righteous people for generations, and we will not allow such insults! You step back." Lu Tianji scolded.
"Father, then your innocence will always be tarnished, and this is not what your son wants to see..." Lu Wantang's words were quite interesting, but there was no ups and downs in his tone, which made Tang Zhengzhi stroke his forehead.
Lu Tianji's eyes twitched violently.
He didn't know whether he was confused or the substitute was confused. He remembered that he had told this fake son what kind of medicine he had taken so that he could cheat and possess the strength of a peak two-star.
Moreover, he remembered that he had also reminded them not to engage in fighting!
Because once a move is made, this false strength cannot be sustained, and there is about a 30% chance that it will be discovered.
As a result, Lu Wantang seemed to have forgotten about this matter and actually accepted the test of the gas-dispersing water. Once he took the gas-dispersing water, there would not be a 30% chance of being discovered, but he would definitely be exposed...
"Since the young master has such awareness, I will also be a good person." Leng Jianqi spoke at this time, "If the young master really proves your and his innocence here, then I will definitely make appropriate compensation for his sacrifice..."
" Impossible !" Lu Tianji's heartbeat slowly accelerated. "If any doubt can force the son of a loyal minister to take the dispersing water, then can this be done... I now suspect that the future prince above is a fake, so let him take the dispersing water first to prove his innocence?"
"How outrageous." Leng Buchen frowned.
"Am I presumptuous? Or is this kid of unknown origin presumptuous? Who is his identity, that he can force my son to take the de-gassing water so easily... After all, I am the descendant of a loyal and good family. Is forcing the son of the Leng family to take the de-gassing water presumptuous? It's the same, both are insults! I will never accept it!" Lu Tianji clenched his fingers tightly, turned his head and gave Lu Wantang a fierce look.
In fact, Leng Jianqi didn't think that the Lu family would really rebel from the beginning, but now he remained silent.
Because Lu Tianji's reaction was too strange, so strange that he couldn't pretend not to see it!
Leng Jianqi had been scheming all his life and had risen to the position of patriarch of an aristocratic family. Naturally, he knew that at this moment, all he should do was wait. Regardless of whether things were developing in the direction he hoped for or not, it would be best for him to keep quiet.
He remained silent, but Tang Zheng did not remain silent. He smiled and said, "I just said it. I didn't ask you whether you accept it or not. I only sought Mr. Lu's opinion."
As he said that, he handed the degassing water in his hand directly to Lu Wantang.
When Lu Wantang was about to reach out to take it, Lu Tianji's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he actually reached out to Tang Zheng, trying to take the Qi-dispersing water from Tang Zheng's hand...
His palm wind, carrying a fierce murderous intent, made everyone present stand up.
However, Tang Zheng stepped on his toes, and with a flash of starlight under his feet, he turned lightly and came behind Lu Tianji. By the way, he handed the Qi-dispersing water in his hand to Lu Wantang safely...
"Oh, this is the step." Liu Ruiqi thought to himself. That day in the heavy rain, he saw the starlight shining under Tang Zheng's feet.
However, he didn't expect that without deliberately controlling the speed , the martial arts move would actually make his eyes dizzy.
Facing Lu Tianji, a five-star peak warrior, Tang Zheng's control of his footwork was still so easy!
"This boy has a bright future." Liu Ruiqi whispered.
"I'm looking forward to his performance in the Star-Seeking Tower." Leng Buchen replied in the same low voice.
While the two were talking, Lu Tianji's attack missed and he quickly turned around. Unfortunately, when he turned around , he saw Lu Wantang had already raised his head and drank the whole bottle of carbonated water...
Afterwards, the stars behind him floated up involuntarily and then quickly changed!
"This... this is really the reaction of the Ti Ling Dan !" Leng Jianqi stood up.
Without waiting for Lu Tianji to make any move, Liu Ruiqi made his move after hearing Leng Zhan's shout of "Get him". Although both sides were equally strong, Liu Ruiqi, who had fought on the battlefield many times, was much better than Lu Tianji in terms of reaction and combat experience.
The two men had barely fought a few rounds when Lu Tianji was held by Liu Ruiqi's hand. His eyes, spitting fire, were pointed at Tang Zheng and Lu Wantang who were already standing aside.
"Framed! This is... a frame-up! I want to report it to the head of the family personally..." Lu Tianji was about to retort, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.
That voice came from Tang Zheng's hands.
A sound with a hint of noise came from the black crystal that Tang Zheng had been holding in his hand since he came in.
"Of course that doesn't make sense if he's really my son!"
"My own son, whom I do not know?"
"This is just too ridiculous, Wan Tang, let's go..."
"I'll say it again, my son, I know him better than you do. I've been with him for seventeen years, and I can tell whether he's real or fake at a glance!"
"If you let him take the gas-dispersing water, his life will be ruined. How could I agree to you doing such a thing?"
"I agree!"...
The black crystal in Tang Zheng's hand repeated all the questions he had asked Lu Tianji from the beginning. Every time Lu Tianji confirmed, and then his shock and regret, could be heard clearly!
Lu Tianji was stunned: "What... is this thing?"
"It's a live recording." Tang Zheng looked at Leng Jianqi who was also dumbfounded. "My friend made it himself. What do you think? It looks pretty bad, right? I was thinking that when he comes back, I will find a girl from the Yaoshan tribe to match the color for him, and then..."
"Tang Zheng, that's not the point." Leng Zhan said.
"..." Tang Zheng put his index finger in front of his mouth, smiled and made a gesture to keep quiet. After a while, he said, "I'll have someone send a copy of today's recording to everyone present later, so that we don't have to waste time on him."
Leng Zhan has already stood up: "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Liu with the rest."
Liu Ruiqi lowered his head: "Yes."
…
Leng Jianqi set off that night and returned to the capital. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
Of course, a small part of it was because such a big mess actually happened in the border town of the Leng family, but a bigger part of it was because he didn't find any place that Leng Zhan could use to attack.
The Cold War is like a heavy stone sculpture. It doesn't speak or act easily, but it just stands there motionless, which is really a headache for people.
"Leng Zhan... Leng Buchen, Liu Ruiqi..." Leng Jianqi sat in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more distressed he felt, "Because of a damn Lu Tianji, now, the Leng family border and the Red Tassel Army should have completely fallen into Leng Zhan's hands."
He shook his head irritably.
Then, another figure appeared before his eyes...
"Tang Zheng. That kid's name is Tang Zheng." He didn't care about this kind of little person, but he found that he couldn't ignore him, because the most critical point that turned the whole thing around seemed to be in his hands!
…
The streets and alleys of Jade City were covered with notices overnight.
All the crimes of the Lu family were made public, and afterwards, the Red Tassel Army encountered much less resistance. Knowing that the Lu family had committed such shocking things, no one would want to die with them.
The entire Jade City was completely under military control.
There is no City Lord's Mansion in Feishi City anymore. All affairs of the City Lord's Mansion are jointly undertaken by the Red Tassel Army Logistics Group and Yisu Academy.
However, there are a large number of people in the City Lord's Mansion, and detaining and counting them is a huge task. If we want to really execute them, we probably have to wait until the battle with the demon clan is over this winter.
As the war approaches, Tang Zheng and his men will be further away from the border!
Because, for a warrior who has been admitted to a noble family academy, the most important moment is about to come.
They will set out for the capital and climb up the Sushiwenxing Tower - the place that symbolizes the biggest difference between the warriors of the aristocratic academy and other warriors!
There should be a standard teaching method for how to ask the stars, how to understand the stars, how to pick the stars... and so on. However, the departure time is approaching and Tang Zheng and his friends obviously do not have the time.
However, when Tang Zheng returned to Tianxia Minglu to pack his things, Xiao Daji hugged him and he cried for a while.
"Alright, alright, you're crying like I'll never come back." Tang Zheng pinched the little fox girl's nose and said with a smile, "If there's anything delicious in the capital, as long as Xiao Lingling gets one, there will definitely be one for you, okay?"
Daji did not burst into laughter, but twisted her waist and said: "I...I am not a child anymore."
Tang Zheng laughed, shook his head, turned to Xu Qingyan, and said, "When Xiaotang and I go to the capital, you can go back to Wulong Town."
"Yeah." Xu Qingyan waited for Tang Zheng's next words.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to go to Tangjiabao and ask if there are any letters from old friends when I leave." Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Just ask. If there are none, forget it."
"Yeah." Xu Qingyan nodded.
"Then I'll get ready to leave. I'll be back...bye." Tang Zheng went back to the room and checked his personal belongings before leaving.
A stay-at-home guy has very few personal belongings, but he has to bring several large bags of tissues. He looked through them all and thought that judging from the luggage that Daji had packed, there shouldn't be any problem.
He simply put the bag aside, and when he turned his head, he saw a diary on his bedside table.
Tang Zheng then remembered that they had been busy since they left Leng Xiangyuan's tomb and had forgotten that they seemed to have brought out a lot of things from the Underworld Palace.
The box of pills in Leng Zhan's hand, the engraved necklace given to Tang Xiaotang, and the exclusive gift given to Tang Zheng, the "Son of the Sun" - it looked like a lot, but it was a box of purple gold coins that were of little use to him.
In addition, Tang Zheng also found a small notebook in the Underworld Palace.
Now, he finally had time to open the notebook and take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the title page, a scent of a young girl wafted into his nose. The signature on the notebook was the same as the one on the box of gold coins he had received as a gift - Huangfu Xuanluo.
"Who is she?" Tang Zheng did not forget the name, but after leaving the cemetery, a series of things happened and he could only put aside this name that he had some impression of.
I wonder what kind of owner this exquisite underworld palace, which existed long before Leng Xiangyuan's death, had?
