Chapter 548 Meeting with Tang Shen, the only choice
"You can't say that. I sincerely invite you to help us this time."
Tang Tian solemnly said: "Compared to us, you are the most suitable. It is precisely because of your relationship with them that I made such a request."
"Please help us once more."
But Liu Laoqi didn't buy what he said. He asked, "Tang Tian, isn't Tang Shen a member of your Tang clan?"
"As the young master of the Tang family, wouldn't it be better for you to go than for us?"
Hearing this, Tang Tian didn't hide anything and said bluntly: "Uncle Qi, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."
"Why not? Tell me this. If it makes sense, we will help you this time."
Liu Laoqi looked at Tang Tian indifferently. He wanted to hear what kind of reason Tang Tian would give him.
After thinking about it, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Then what role does Uncle Qi think I should have in order to order Tang Shen?"
"What is the identity of the young master of the Tang family?"
"If this is the case, then should Tang Shen join me, Tang Tian, or Zhenhai College?"
"Or is it that Zhenhai College is owned by the Tang family?"
Tang Tian looked at Liu Laoqi and saw that he was silent and looked thoughtful, so he continued:
"Uncle Qi, I, Tang Tian, have the ability to make Tang Shen surrender directly, but is this really good?"
"Wu Ze is the master of Zhenhai, not me."
"Even if Wu Ze doesn't care about it afterwards because of his temper, there are some things I can do and some things I can't do."
After hearing this, the indifference on Liu Laoqi's face disappeared, and his expression became serious and serious.
Tang Tian's words were true. He was indeed not suitable to use his status as the young master of the Tang family to make Tang Shen surrender.
If you do that, it will give others the perception that you have exceeded your authority or that Tang Tian wants to seize power.
The consequence of this is that even if Tang Tian doesn't want to, he will be affected by many factors and have to stand opposite Wu Ze.
"Okay, we will accept this matter. We can go to Tang Shen and Long Ye's place for you."
"It's just that, have you figured out how to deal with the other two forces?"
Liu Laoqi made a decision.
"Thank you very much Uncle Qi. I will go to Xinen City in person. As for King Zhi..."
Tang Tian shook his head and said solemnly: "King Zhi is very mysterious. I hope that after we have solved the other three parties, we can face King Zhi together."
"What do you think?"
Thinking about the area covered by vegetation, no one objected and all nodded.
Next, everyone discussed some details, then stood up and left, each starting their own actions.
…
Tangcheng, inner city.
In the city lord's palace, an entourage welcomed Jiang Rong into the hall.
Tang Shen saw Jiang Rong arriving and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Oh, what kind of spring breeze has brought my little friend here, please come quickly, please come quickly."
Jiang Rong took his seat, and Tang Shen ordered the servants to serve tea. The two exchanged pleasantries and got down to business.
"City Lord, I am here for Zhenhai College."
"I hope that the Lord of Tang City can join Zhenhai Academy and restore Tang City to its original order as soon as possible."
Jiang Rong took a sip of the flower and said calmly.
Hearing this, Tang Shen's movements stopped slightly. He slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and said in deep thought:
"My friend, I agree with the idea of restoring the original order in Tangcheng, but there is one thing I want to ask clearly."
"City Lord, please speak." Jiang Rong said.
"Then I'll make it clear. I am the Lord of Tang City. To restore order in Tang City, I, Tang Shen, should be the main one, not Zhenhai College."
"What do you think, little friend?"
Tang Shen said.
No matter from which aspect, he, Tang Shen, is the legitimate master of this city.
Even if the world has changed now, Tangcheng is still one of the seven administrative cities under Yunzhou. It is owned by the Tang family and his Tang Shen lineage.
Good guy, now you tell me that you want to focus on Zhenhai College, isn't this trying to take away his ancestral property?
It’s strange that he agrees!
"this……"
Jiang Rong had a look of embarrassment on his face.
He knew that things would not be that simple, and this was really not a good thing.
Jiang Rong originally didn't want to come, but Liu Laoqi told him that he had to do this, so he reluctantly agreed.
But when we really have to face this matter, the difficulty is more difficult than imagined.
It is really not an easy task to persuade Tang Shen to give up the power of Tangcheng.
Fortunately, Liu Laoqi had anticipated Tang Shen's reaction and gave Jiang Rong a way to deal with it.
Otherwise, Jiang Rong really didn't know how to answer Tang Shen.
Tang Shen drank tea slowly and chose to turn a blind eye to the troubled look on Jiang Rong's face.
He didn't want to offend Jiang Rong, who had mysterious power and an incredible thing like the 'Awakening Source Crystal'.
Therefore, letting Jiang Rong retreat is his best choice.
After a moment, Jiang Rong said: "City Lord Tang, let me tell you the truth. I am here at Tang Tian's request this time."
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't bother to come to you and say these embarrassing things to you."
"Oh? Is this the young master's intention?"
Tang Shen's expression condensed, and then he solemnly said: "If so, Tang Shen should obey his orders."
"But I want to ask, is it the young master who makes the final decision about Zhenhai Academy now?"
"If so, then we are all one family. Whatever the young master says is whatever he says. Tang Shen will never complain."
Tang Shen waved his hand and agreed happily without any ambiguity at all.
He is a member of the Tang clan, and Tang Tian is in Zhenhai Academy, so he naturally knows this.
But one thing he knew was that Tang Tian was not the master of Zhenhai.
I heard that the Lord of Zhenhai is a young man.
But he didn't find out who it was.
Tang Tian was convinced. He was the young master of the Tang clan and the future head of the Tang clan.
No matter what the world is like, the Tang family is still the Tang family. Even if he, Tang Shen, has some strength now, he has not strayed away from the Tang family's desire to be independent.
Naturally, as long as Tang Tian gives an order, Tang Shen will definitely obey it.
But right now, Tang Tian is not the master of Zhenhai.
Tang Tian had already explained everything without sending his cronies over.
When Jiang Rong heard this, he said to himself that it was true.
"Sure enough, Tang Tian's concerns are not groundless. If Tang Shen wants to join Zhenhai Academy, he really can't do it with the status of 'Young Master of the Tang Family'."
Jiang Rong secretly thought, luckily before coming here, Liu Laoqi also taught Jiang Rong how to deal with it.
Jiang Rong slowly raised the teacup in his hand, staring at the clear tea soup with his eyes. He shook his right hand slightly and said slowly:
"City Lord Tang, you should also know that if Tang Tian is the Lord of Zhenhai, then the person who comes here should not be me, but Tang Tian or the people around him."
"Everyone knows this, but now that I'm here, will City Lord Tang really not consider my proposal?"
Hearing this, Tang Shen put down the teacup in his hand. He looked at Jiang Rong seriously and said, "I want to ask, who is the Lord of Zhenhai?"
"I want to know even more, who can make the young master willing to do it."
After Jiang Rong listened to Tang Shen's question and thought of Wu Ze, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"Tell him, if you have the chance, you will know." Jiang Rong said.
"Oh? When will there be a chance?"
"If possible, I would like to ask my friend to introduce me to this strange man."
Tang Shen said with great interest.
"Well, this is possible, but the prerequisite is that you must join Zhenhai College."
Jiang Rong nodded.
"Why? Is it necessary?"
Tang Shen said doubtfully.
"No, but there is one thing that I think it is necessary to talk to the city lord."
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"Please speak, Tang is all ears."
Tang Zao extended his hand to invite him, his expression serious.
"As for who it is, let me tell you the truth. The power we have and the 'Awakening Source Crystal' belong to that person."
"It can be said that without that person, I am afraid there would be no Tangcheng today."
"Without the 'Awakening Source Crystal', City Lord, do you think Tangcheng will still be what it is now?"
Jiang Rong asked.
"Won't!"
Tang Shen shook his head, he could imagine the terrible consequences.
Without the 'Awakened Source Crystals' that Jiang Rong traded to him, there would be absolutely no way that the less than ten awakened Sources among them would be able to achieve what they are today.
Not to mention conquering the entire inner city, it's already pretty good to be alive now.
If it weren't for the help of the 'Awakened Source Crystal', which allowed him to have enough source awakeners, Tangcheng would have turned into a dead city a month ago.
"It's good that the city lord knows. If you want to see the one who has the same power as us, joining is the best way."
"As for the rest, I won't say much. You will never know some things if you don't join."
"How specific it is, City Lord, please think about it carefully."
At this point, Jiang Rong has said everything he can say, and he won't care whether it succeeds in the end.
In the final analysis, this is Zhenhai College's matter, not Wu Ze's opinion.
Based on Jiang Rong's understanding of Wu Ze, Wu Ze would not pay attention to such trivial matters.
Success or failure is irrelevant.
With Wu Ze's many incredible skills, it would be easy for him to capture Tangcheng.
If Wu Ze wasn't here now, there would be no need for such trouble.
With Wu Ze's ability, the four forces will never have a chance to resist.
Surrender is their only choice when facing Wu Ze.
Tang Shen picked up the tea cup and stared at the tea in the cup, his eyes dull as he fell into deep thought.
Think about the shock when they first met Jiang Rong and others that day, and the terrifying energy and pressure coming from Zhenhai Academy.
Think about it again, what Jiang Rong said to him today, or maybe it was advice.
Think about the magical 'Awakening Source Crystal' and the mysterious power that exists in Jiang Rong and even the entire residents of Liuju Community.
After much thought, Tang Shen finally made a decision.
Today, the world has changed.
The previous peaceful era is gone forever. In the unknown future, only strength is their strongest guarantee.
This seems to be a general trend. Without strong power and only looking forward to the kindness in human hearts, this is simply impossible!
"How is it? Has the city lord made a decision?"
Seeing the look in Tang Shen's eyes, Jiang Rong smiled slightly and asked softly.
"Alas! Do I have any other choice?"
Tang Shen sighed and slowly put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Yes, but it's a matter of sooner or later, but listen to me, it's much better to do it sooner than later."
Jiang Rong said firmly.
"Oh? Is this understandable? Is there something you haven't told me?"
Tang Shen became interested and asked aloud.
"Hahaha, don't say it, don't say it, don't say it!"
"I believe the city lord will know about it later."
Jiang Rong laughed, stood up and said goodbye and left.
Looking at Jiang Rong's leaving figure, Tang Shen shook his head and sighed again:
"I don't know if my choice is right or wrong."
"Alas! That's it, that's it. As of now, that's it. What choice do I have when facing those guys?"
After sighing, Tang Shen called his two sons and daughters, and after giving instructions to them, they took ten origin awakeners and headed towards Zhenhai College.
At the same time, south of the inner city, in the Gusong Community, Master Long led a group of subordinates to the open space of the community.
In the center of the open space, there were two figures facing each other.
Although it was a confrontation, there was no hostility or murderous intention between the two people, and there was only a surging fighting spirit.
These two are none other than Mo Jiu, the strongest man under Lord Long, and Li Jun, who agreed to come to Tang Tian.
Of course, Li Jun did not come alone.
As for Tang Shen, Jiang Rong entered the city alone to show respect to Tang Shen.
But here, facing Master Long, who had a certain reputation before the great changes in the world, Li Jun would not bet that this 'big man' would not embarrass him for the sake of his previous friendship.
Zhang Liang's ten men were not far behind Li Jun. If something went wrong, their eleven men would be enough to overthrow the entire Gusong Community.
Li Jun is not as easy to talk to as Jiang Rong. Before the world changed, Jiang Rong was just an ordinary person, while Li Jun was a retired soldier engaged in security work.
The two are inherently different.
What's more, Tang Shen and Long Ye are different. The former is the apparent lord of Tang City.
And the reputation of this Lord Long is not very good. When you think of it, he is as domineering as thunder.
If it weren't for the fact that after the world changed, he didn't do things that made everyone angry, but instead did many good deeds, it's hard to say that they would have killed him long ago.
"I, Mo Jiu, please enlighten me!"
In the field, Mo Jiu bowed his hands slightly to Li Jun and said.
Then, he gently brushed his hands by his side, and he took two extremely black daggers in his hands.
Darkness flowed above the dagger, covering its edge and making the dagger in his hand obscure.
Like a hidden poisonous snake, waiting to deliver the most fatal blow to his enemy at any time.
Even though this battle is just a sparring match, there are quite a lot of methods involved.
At most, show mercy in time.
Speaking of which, this is also a comparison of the control of one's own power.
If you really can't even control your own strength freely, then even if you defeat the opponent, you will still lose.
"Li Jun."
Li Jun also bowed his hand.
When he lowered his hand, he didn't see him taking out his weapon. He just grabbed it lightly with his right hand, and the flames surged out and turned into a flaming sword, which he held in his hand.
