The two abyssal envoys finally left.
Tang Zhao insisted on etiquette and sent the two Yuan envoys outside the gate, traveling several miles along the way. With his status, sending Yuanshi actually felt that his weight was too light. In order not to appear too rude to Changfa Manor, Xing Cang, as the general manager, had no choice but to follow him out.
Wait until the raccoon dog and Pipa disappear into the shadows in the sky. The rest of the people stopped.
It's time to return to the manor.
"General Manager, I have to inform the master of this great event." Tang Zhao dragged three heart incense and said excitedly: "I will go down the mountain now and dedicate these three treasures to the master. You go back first, I will set off immediately."
Seeing his pretentiousness, Xing Cang felt disgusted for a while, but he had expected that he would do this - didn't he just leave the manor and not plan to go back, for fear of being imprisoned by himself?
He made a calculation in his mind.
At this time, the two Abyssal Envoys were gone, and the biggest obstacle was no longer there. He could choose to keep Xing Qiqiang behind.
But after some calculation, he did not choose to take action. The best opportunity just now was lost. Now he was outside the manor. If he took action again, there would be many twists and turns. Although he was sure of taking down the slave, he lacked the control means to prevent him from flying. . If it makes the chickens and dogs jump, it will not be beautiful.
Of course, the "care" given to Xingqi by the two Yuanshi Xuan Miaomiao also had some influence on him, and he took it lightly.
The most important thing is that he holds a trump card, and in half a month he will be able to sweep away the opponent with a thunderous force, so he doesn't care about temporary gains and losses.
Little did he know that Tang Zhao had noticed that he was about to make a move and then backed down, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
He came to Zhuliang Mountain once and gained a lot from all aspects. The value of Xingcang has dropped greatly, but the hidden dangers have gradually increased. If the old guy takes action, Tang Zhao will kill him easily, which is very convenient.
Pity.
Forget it, he had a guess. If it was true, Xing Cang would still have some value. Just keep it.
Tang Zhao smoothly invited Xing Cang to go down the mountain with him, but Xing Cang naturally refused. After finally going up the mountain, how could he come back under the nose of the young master? Tang Zhao didn't really invite him, so he didn't force him. The two of them seemed to have forgotten their previous subtle confrontation at the gate of the manor, and had forgotten to push each other's end. They returned to a tie again, joked a few words as if nothing had happened, and said their goodbyes.
Tang Zhao still took Xingwu down the mountain.
Xingwu is relatively weak, his strength is only average, and his swordsmanship is quite interesting. Although he loves the new master, he can't be expected to resist Xingcang. From this point of view, he might as well stay at the foot of the mountain and be stunned. Lucky Thirteen. But Tang Zhao still took him with him and rescued him from Xing Cang's grasp.
One is to consolidate the position, and the other is that there is an experiment that requires Xingwu's cooperation.
The two left the manor, and seeing Xing Cang getting further and further away, Xing Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Zhao said: "Why, you don't like staying in the manor either?"
The word "yes" made Xingwu relax a little more, nodded and said: "Who would like to stay on the mountain? Except the chief manager."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Exactly. I didn't want to go up the mountain in the first place, but now that I have the chief manager, I don't even want to."
Kogo nodded. Although I dare not go too far, it is really pleasant to speak ill of the leader in private with colleagues. He thought of something and said: "Don't tell the master that you entered the video recording industry today. If you tell the master, even if the master trusts you again, he will be afraid, and you will have no reason to exist. Don't worry, we will Neither will tell the master, not even the chief steward. This is a tacit understanding between slaves."
Tang Zhao would not refute such words that were obviously not wrong at all, and said: "I know. But do you think the chief manager will conceal this matter?"
Xingwu sighed: "Yes. The sword slave invades the master's heart and touches the sacrificial treasure. Not only is it a huge crime, but it will also bring the reputation of Changfa Manor into disrepute and be despised by other manors. The chief manager deeply regards the manor as his own. Zhong, will never leak this scandal. You see, he has never entered that place himself."
Tang Zhao said: "He can't get in, right? The old master arranged the locust tree outside the recording circle to prevent his pine trees. It is very clever to use trees to prevent trees."
When Xing Wu heard this, he suddenly paused and said, "Whether it's for defense or not, we slaves don't dare to guess. Lao Qi, do you mean you think the chief steward's sword elephant is a pine tree?"
Tang Zhao asked back: "Isn't it?"
The swordsmen of Gangliang Mountain rarely take action, and outsiders cannot know the condition of their swords. Although Xing Cang has a record of killing people, no one can see clearly how he did it. Wei Changle probed for information and only guessed that his sword elephant might be the manor. Only with the help of the entire manor can he still be able to crush one against many.
But after Tang Zhao went up the mountain and observed Changfa Manor, he still didn't think it was a sword elephant. Based on his inspiration, if it is really a sword elephant, it must be aware of it. Instead, the ubiquitous pine trees look more like sword elephants. Controlling the manor with pine branches and pine needles that penetrate into every tree and stone, doesn't it look like the manor is following orders?
Xing Wu lowered his voice and said: "I dare not say for sure, but you have to know...Xing San thinks so."
Tang Zhao raised his brows and said, "He once told me this guess in private, asking me to be on guard against those pine trees. Maybe he was right. But then he died silently, which shows that he wasn't very guarded either. Useful, right?"
Tang Zhao frowned and said, "This way..."
Xingwu sighed: "As you know, my sword elephant is the source of life and is particularly sensitive to the breath of life. In my opinion, those pine trees should be real life."
Tang Zhao pondered: Xing Wu’s words also make sense. So...if he guessed wrong and it wasn't a pine tree, then what was Xing Cang's sword elephant?
…
The two of them walked all the way down the mountain and finally returned to the dyeing workshop.
At this time, many of the Xi Peng people around had withdrawn, and the front door became much cleaner.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Shenyi coming out of the door, full of excitement. Seeing Tang Zhao, he was slightly surprised, but immediately became more happy and said: "You're back? Just in time, I have a good thing, a big good thing! Come with me!"
Tang Zhao and Xingwu nodded, then followed Jiang Shenyi to the back.
When Xingwu saw him leaving, he felt a little sad: although he was very cautious in the manor, at the foot of the mountain he was also isolated from his master's close friends, which showed that he could not get along anywhere. This is an ordinary person. I am not the same person. How can I blend in easily?
Fortunately, Qi was able to get along so well with the people on his master's side. I don't know how he did it.
…
Jiang Shenyi pulled Tang Zhao into the inner courtyard. He was obviously eager to announce some big news just now, but at this time he had calmed down. Instead, he straightened his face, showing a vague and mysterious smile, and said: "I have a big news here. Good news. Guess what?”
Tang Zhao said: "Have you solved the problem of the sword species invading the inspiration?"
Jiang Shenyi: "..."
After a while, Jiang Shenyi said angrily: "You actually guessed it... Even if you guessed it, can't you pretend to think about it before guessing? It would be more interesting to guess wrong once or twice before saying it again."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "It's not that I guessed it, it's that I have confidence in senior brother. With your ability, it's not surprising that you have devoted yourself to research these days and solved this unprecedented problem. If I were hesitant, unbelievable, even thinking about it, I don’t dare to think about it because I don’t trust your ability!”
Jiang Shenyi found it helpful and said: "That's true. I'm not that easy either. I'm lucky to have a breakthrough. But it's your subject..." After seeing Tang Zhao's gentle smile, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "You too Is it done?”
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "Look, you're not too surprised. It shows that we brothers trust each other."
Jiang Shenyi paused for a moment and said angrily: "That's nonsense, I'm surprised, okay? I'm not surprised that you are capable of researching the subject, but where do you have the time? I can only look at the flowing mat shed and study with all my strength every day. You are so busy with mundane tasks. Are you studying the greetings, conspiracies, and conspiracies in your dream? Moreover, the study of severing the sacrificial relationship between Gangliang and the Sword Slave must be something you can only study by going up to Gangliang Mountain. You just took a trip, and it’s just a mere trip. It took two or three days to crack it? Is there any truth left to you in this world?"
Tang Zhao said with a smile: "Luck, it's really luck. I was able to crack it not by relying on my own knowledge, but by inadvertently peeking into the secret of Ji Liangshan. I suddenly pierced the window paper and suddenly became enlightened. With Compared to this, liberating the sacrificial sword slaves is a trivial matter. Perhaps this is the key to our dismantling the power of the two mountains. Let’s go see His Highness the Golden Crow and study it together.”
Jiang Shenyi was pushed away by him and grumbled: "Don't be so playful and smiling. It's okay if you look like Ah Zhao. Now you look like this. It's really hard to keep smiling..."
The two of them walked into Jinwu's main courtyard talking and laughing. Because the news of Tang Zhao's return was not kept secret, everyone knew about it by now and would naturally return to the main courtyard. The two of them were not in a hurry and waited in the courtyard.
At this time, the first person who came in was Wei Changle.
Tang Zhao had always been concerned about this old friend who had suffered a terrible fate. He stepped forward to take a look at his condition. He looked better than before, but in just a few days, it was definitely impossible to say that he was completely reborn and refreshed. He could only slowly and slowly After recuperating, he asked: "Changle, how have you been these past two days?"
Wei Changle nodded and said: "Very good. It's very peaceful when you sleep. You won't be awakened by others or yourself." As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger with a clang.
Jiang Shenyi was slightly surprised from behind. He didn't understand why Wei Changle drew his sword, but he was not nervous. This came from his trust in Tang Zhao. On the one hand, he trusted Tang Zhao to accept Wei Changle, which showed that the relationship was reliable, and on the other hand, he trusted Tang Zhao's strength. , even if Wei Changle is close at hand with his sword, he can't hurt a swordsman at all.
Similarly, Tang Zhao was not nervous, just thoughtful. His stability came from his trust in Wei Changle, and he also guessed that this should come from the previous agreement.
But he has forgotten.
While Tang Zhao was waiting calmly, Wei Changle waved his sword:
"Swordsmanship - Solitary Awakening!"
It was as if the boulder holding down the spring was removed, and countless springs emerged. Tang Zhao's memory suddenly became fuller, and he clasped his hands together:
"That's right! Miss Ling, I left her at Sunset Manor."
