At night, there were very few pedestrians on the road in Yunjing City. Ling Li had already prepared, and no outsider could see the road they were traveling on.
In the blink of an eye, the jade chariot stopped outside a large house.
Su Li looked up and saw the bright words "Tang Mansion" shining brightly even in the dim moonlight.
Tang Xiang's mansion? !
Su Li was slightly shocked, why did Ling Li come here with so much fanfare.
The Hidden Demon Cult members did not hide their whereabouts, and the movement outside was soon discovered by the people of Prime Minister Tang's Mansion. The timid concierge saw the dark crowd outside through the crack in the door, and his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately went in to report.
At this moment, Ling Qinglan's disguised voice came into the house through the wall, clear and loud.
"The leader of the Hidden Holy Cult has arrived, why don't the master of this mansion come out to receive him?!"
Tang Xiang, who had already fallen asleep, was woken up. He had no time to put on his clothes and opened the door wearing only a white lining. The panicked concierge immediately fell in and said, "Master, something is wrong! There are many men in black coming outside. They have already taken care of him." The mansion is surrounded!"
When Tang Xiang heard this, there was no panic on his wrinkled face. After all, he was a veteran who had gone through two dynasties. He was calm in the face of danger and called the housekeeper, "Quickly, arrange for Madam and the others to leave through the secret passage!"
The housekeeper smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Master, the secret passage suddenly collapsed a few days ago and is being repaired. Not to mention Madam and the others, not even a sparrow can get out!"
"What?!"
Tang Xiang was horrified, and his lips couldn't stop trembling. "When did it collapse? Why didn't you tell me before it was so important?"
The housekeeper looked confused when he heard this, "Isn't it your order to renovate the secret passage? Why..."
Tang Xiang's body trembled violently, and he couldn't stop stumbling. If the housekeeper hadn't stepped forward to help him when he saw that the situation was bad, he might have fallen a big somersault.
"Master, we..."
The butler looked worried. Tang Xiang waved his hand feebly and sighed: "I'm fine. Just open the door to welcome the distinguished guests."
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper was worried and ran towards the door. Tang Xiang followed slowly, his face neither happy nor sad.
The other party was obviously well prepared. In this case, it was a blessing rather than a curse. It was a curse that could not be avoided, so there was no need to struggle anymore.
Boom boom
The tall and heavy door was pushed open by two concierges, making a heavy sound, which was extremely harsh in the quiet night.
Seeing this scene, Ling Li waved, and the man carrying the jade chariot immediately started to walk in. Ling Mo and Ling Qinglan were on one side of the jade chariot. Such a formation made Tang Xiang shocked.
The two red figures on the jade chariot were blocked by curtains, so he couldn't see clearly, but the identities of the people on both sides of the jade chariot were easily identifiable. They were clearly the two generals of the Hidden Demon Sect, Qing Hu and Xue Lou.
Those who are qualified to sit in the jade chariot don't have to guess.
The leader of the Hidden Demon Cult, Gongzi Li!
"I, Prime Minister Tang, would like to pay my respects to Master Li!"
As Tang Xiang said this, he knelt down with the help of the butler. The leader of a great sect had a status no less than that of the leader of the country like Dongfang Xiaona. There was nothing wrong with him kneeling down to greet him.
"Ha ha… "
Hearty laughter came from the jade chariot, and a voice as gentle as jade sounded, "Mr. Tang, there is no need to be polite. It would be bad if Dongfang Xiao misunderstood something."
When Su Li heard this sentence, her eyes flashed slightly, as if she understood something.
Tang Xiang found that he was halfway kneeling, and a force came out of thin air under his knees. He could no longer kneel down. He immediately straightened up without forcing himself, but he was filled with inexplicable fear in his heart.
What frightened him was not Gongzi Li's force, but his intentions!
With so many people from the Hidden Demon Sect appearing in the Tang Mansion, if there were no casualties in the Tang Mansion, and this matter fell into the ears of the Dongfang Family, with Dongfang Xiao's suspicious temperament, how could the Tang Mansion end well
The change of expression on Tang Xiang's face could not escape Ling Li's eyes. His laughter remained the same, and his slightly plain voice reached Tang Xiang's ears:
"It seems that Mr. Tang is a sensible person, so I am too lazy to show off. I am here in person this time to inquire about something. If Mr. Tang's answer satisfies me, I might be able to protect your Tang Mansion." It’s safe up and down.”
Tang Xiang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "You are plotting against me like this, how can I trust your sect?!"
"No, no, no, Mr. Tang misunderstood."
Ling Li stretched out his hand and waved. Ling Mo immediately led people into the backyard with Tang Xiang's frightened expression. After a burst of frightened screams, all the female relatives of the Tang Mansion were gathered in the front yard and controlled by the Hidden Demon Cult. , shivering.
Among them, the one who shook the most was Tang Lei. His fat body was shaking quite rhythmically. The boy next to him who looked one or two years younger than Tang Lei did not react much better. Although he tried his best to maintain He had a gloomy and calm expression, but the blood on his face had completely faded, and he was as pale as paper.
Su Li covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking that if she kept shaking like this, Tang Lei might be able to lose a lot of fat.
This time Ling Li accurately grasped the handle of Tang Xiang, and there was no possibility of failure in the operation. Therefore, in Tang Xiang's view, this "Leader Li" seemed to be a murderous demon, but in fact, Ling Li could not do it alone. Will not kill.
The third elder has been paying attention to Su Li's movements. Seeing that she can still laugh now, he feels slightly relaxed. He thinks that although this woman is a mortal, she is indeed extraordinary and can accept the beatings and killings of the martial arts world. , it is the best for the holy religion.
Tang Xiang's face was ugly and pale, and he cursed himself for being stupid for trying to trust a devil.
Of course it doesn't matter if he dies alone, but all the direct blood relatives of the Tang family are here. If they are really slaughtered by the people of the Hidden Demon Sect, then his Tang family will be cut off. How will he deal with the Tang family after his death? Ancestors and ancestors explain
Soon, Tang Xiang gave up his inner struggle, relaxed his whole body, and accepted his fate: "What does Master Li want to ask?"
"Mr. Tang really knows the current affairs."
Ling Li lightly praised and then asked: "Fourteen years ago, Mr. Tang was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so he should know a lot about the Yi family's extermination."
When Tang Xiang heard "fourteen years ago", his expression immediately changed. Whether it was the time or the words "Minister of Punishment" and "Yi Family", they were all taboos that he could not mention at all.
Tang Lei looked at Prime Minister Tang in confusion. His grandfather had been the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment before, why didn't he know that
"This matter should have nothing to do with your sect. Why would the leader be interested in something that happened fourteen years ago?" Tang Xiang took a deep breath and asked, barely calming down.
"Why do I need a reason for my actions? Even if I have one, Mr. Tang, you are not qualified to ask, so while I am in a good mood, it is wise to tell the murderer of the Yi family."
What Ling Li said
, extremely arrogant, clearly not taking anyone in the Tang family seriously.
The boy next to Tang Lei was so angry that he even forgot his fear, but his reason still told him not to talk back.
This existence does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
Tang Xiang was silent, trapped in endless struggle.
Ling Li stopped Ling Qinglan from stepping forward to ask questions several times and waited slowly. At times like this, he should not be anxious. If the people of the Tang Mansion saw the clues, they would not be able to ask anything.
The expression on Tang Xiang's face changed, and he looked at his wife and children who were full of hope from time to time. But if he told Dongfang Xiao, the Tang family would not be able to escape death, and they would also be charged with treason. The family is disgraced!
"Mr. Tang, please think clearly. If you don't say it, you will also be regarded as a thorn in the Dongfang family's side. With me secretly adding fuel and jealousy, you can imagine the consequences. If you say it, the result will be completely different. …”
Ling Li continued to be tempting, but this sentence hit the target.
That's right!
Dahan Country was infiltrated by the Hidden Demon Sect for more than a day or two. If the Hidden Demon Sect uses today's events to spread the word, all the oaths he swore in front of Dongfang Xiao will be invalid!
He, the Tang family, is not a retainer of the Dongfang family. He is just keeping secret to save his life. In the current situation, does he still want to keep the secret and go to hell? !
"I said!"
After saying these two words, Tang Xiang seemed to have put down a heavy burden, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed. "I believe that Master Li, who is famous in the martial arts world, would not bother to deceive me."
"Tang Xiangguo really understands current affairs!"
Ling Li chuckled and signaled to Ling Mo, who immediately understood and took all the female heirs of the Tang family back to the backyard to take care of them.
At the same time, he also took Su Li's hand and got off the jade chariot, dressed in red like fire. The two of them looked like they had just been married.
"It turns out that the leader's wife is here, and I am really scared."
Tang Xiang was surprised and quickly saluted. It was rumored in the world that Gongzi Li had no partner. So he was the first outsider to know this information, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of honor in his heart.
Su Li nodded lightly in return. Such a cold reaction was unexpected by Tang Xiang.
The third elder also nodded secretly. It was rare for a mere mortal from Dahan State to be so calm in the face of the prime minister of a country. I believe that even if she meets Dongfang Xiao, her behavior will not bring shame to the sect. This fact is worthy of her status as the "mistress of the holy sect".
Soon, Tang Xiang, Ling Li and Su Li sat down in the front hall. Except for Ling Qinglan who stood behind Ling Li and listened, Ling Mo and the third elder did not come in, but stood guard outside the door to prevent any unexpected events.
"The leader and his wife are so loving."
Tang Xiang sighed when he saw Ling Li's hand that had been unwilling to let go. He was sure to tell the secret in his heart. He was a little too relaxed at the moment. The notorious big devil opposite him didn't have much fear.
Ling Li coughed dryly and acquiesced to what Tang Xiang said. He didn't dare to look at Su Li's reaction and changed the subject: "Mr. Tang, let's talk about the Yi family."
"That's fine."
Tang Xiang didn't notice Ling Li's embarrassment, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of life in his eyes, "I have kept this secret for fourteen years, and it's time to let them see the light of day. Back then, I made a selfish choice to save my life, but... General Yi You have lived an upright life, and you don’t deserve to die in such an unclear manner!”
