On the day that Yan Wu's body was buried, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the new tomb was erected. Tang Junyao felt a rare peace in his heart.
Just as Sai Shenxian said, the little girl from the Xu family has been dead for more than ten years in this life, and she has already been reincarnated. . Now all this is just the peace of mind that the living are asking for themselves.
Tang Huaizhou suddenly stepped forward, solemnly bowed to the newly erected tomb, and silently said 'Thank you' in his heart.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this. Tang Junyao understood what he was doing, but felt that his nose was a little sour, so he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.
Immortal Sai sighed inaudibly, and also went up to salute.
Tang Huaimian was full of doubts. He looked at Tang Huaizhou with a dignified face for a while, and Tang Yunyao with a sad face for a while. After thinking about it, he didn't say much.
"Let's go!" Tang Huaizhou walked back and whispered.
Tang Junyao nodded, the two brothers and sisters walked side by side, Tang Huaimian quickly followed after seeing this, a few people walked a distance, and saw Cao Sheng walking over with two officers and soldiers.
"Two Young Master Tang, Miss Tang." Cao Sheng bowed his hands to them, then pointed to the two behind him and said, "These two people will ensure the safety of several during this period."
"No need, you don't have enough manpower now, you don't need to worry about us, it's enough for us to have a long wind and a smooth flow." Tang Huaizhou shook his head.
"This is what the general has repeatedly instructed his subordinates before leaving, and I also ask Mr. Tang not to refuse. Now is an eventful time, and these are the general's close friends to ensure your safety and save the general's worries." Cao Cao Victory persisted.
Hearing what he said was very reasonable, Tang Huaizhou no longer refused.
Just three days ago, He Shaoting quietly left Anping County with a group of people.
Tang Junyao knew that his departure must be for Xuan Qingfangyi to wait for the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Tang Huaizhou naturally guessed something.
As early as when Tuyi cheated and escaped, He Shaoting knew that these remnants of the previous dynasty had colluded with the Dongdi people. This time, Na Fangyi's power was greatly damaged, and he was like a lost dog in the Central Plains. Therefore, when taking people to Chaoyunguan for a thorough investigation, they did not forget to arrange for people to ambush on the only way to Dongdi Kingdom, waiting for their self-inflicted snare.
After getting the news that Xuan Qingfangyi and the others were indeed heading east, he handed over the matter of Chaoyunguan to Cao Sheng, and rushed over with Fan Guang and others.
But it was said that Fangyi fell into Tang Yunyao's plan on the spur of the moment, and not only lost a large number of good players, but also her confidant maid Tuyi lost her life. What's more, she was also slapped by Tang Yunyao. With the whip, half of his face was drenched with blood, and he almost destroyed one eye.
Originally, as long as this kind of whiplash was handled properly, it would heal after a while without even leaving a scar. But she was on the way to escape, and even her life was at risk.
He Shaoting's desperate pursuit caused the people around her to die one by one. The three surviving guards were also seriously injured, and they could no longer fight against He Shaoting's pursuers. How could she have time to stop and recuperate? The wound on his face was getting worse.
By the time she realized something was wrong, the wound had already started to swell with pus, and the stench of pus seeped out from her face, which almost didn't teach her to faint from nausea.
She knew that if there was no effective treatment, her face would be completely ruined.
"Tang, Yun, Yao, He, Shao, Ting!" She gritted her teeth and squeezed these two hated names out of her mouth, only hating herself for not getting rid of these two scourges earlier.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands clenched tightly. After this time, the only people who could be used by her side were these three wounded guards, and the forces remaining in the Central Plains were almost uprooted, which was simply not enough to support her in any further action.
Although she was very unwilling, she also knew that the Central Plains could not stay any longer, and she had to leave in time, otherwise she would really lose her life in the Central Plains.
However, how can we avoid He Shaoting's pursuit now? She tried her best to calm down, and quickly turned her head to think of countermeasures.
"Master, have a drink!"
"Well, thank you!"
The voice of the conversation outside came in, her eyes flashed slightly, looking at Xuan Qing outside the broken temple, her eyes were a bit strange.
How could she forget, isn't there a good scapegoat, a scapegoat who can lure He Shaoting away from her pursuit
Anyway, Zhe Liu has successfully won Xu Tingruo's trust. No matter whether Xu Tingruo can get to that position in the end, this person is no longer worth using. In fact, from the moment when he failed to move the soul back then, it had no use value.
Furthermore, he was already a stain on the Xun family's royal family, no, to be precise, he was no longer a member of the Xun family's royal family. However, thinking that he once saved his own life, when the emperor's nephew's great cause is successful in the future, he will seal him a false office as a reward.
With an idea in her heart, she reluctantly endured the severe pain on her left face, got up and walked towards Xuan Qing: "Uncle Huang..."
—
The saying that Tang Junyao returned to his hometown to prepare for his ancestor's 60th birthday that day was not false, but true. Since the Tang family all moved to the capital, the Tang family's old house in He'an House has been vacant. Fortunately, when Tang Zhangnian went to Beijing that day, he arranged for a family to take care of the house, so that the house would not be abandoned.
After the burial of Yan Wu's remains, Tang Huaizhou, while paying attention to the news of He Shaoting, began to work on his grandfather's longevity. At the same time, he also considered sending a letter to his parents in Beijing to report safety. The letter was naturally about what happened to his sister. Not a word.
When Tang Songnian received the letter, he knew at a glance that his son was writing good news but not bad news, but he didn't take it to heart. In addition to being too busy with political affairs, it was also because his mentor and the head of the hundred officials, Ji Yuan, was seriously ill, and the situation was not optimistic.
Xu Shi knew that his life was not long. Since a few years ago, with the acquiescence of Emperor Tianxi, Ji Yuan had slowly handed over part of his power to Tang Songnian, intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, he suddenly became seriously ill. Zhongshu Province did not see the slightest chaotic event in the matter.
For Emperor Tianxi, Ji Yuan was his loyal minister and good friend, and he was also his lifelong friend. Ji Yuan's illness was no less than a blow to him.
What's worse is that since the two sons were reconciled, the queen's health has improved, but just yesterday, when dealing with various palace matters, the queen suddenly fainted on the ground, although she soon woke up, But the whole person suddenly weakened a lot.
Liang Xiang Qingyou and Ji Fa's wife fell ill one after another, which made Emperor Tianxi anxious and naturally indifferent to political affairs. Fortunately, he has been on the throne for many years, and his roots are very early and stable, and the imperial court is both enshrined and prestige. Things are still proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, the unintentional political affairs of Emperor Tianxi fell into the eyes of King Xin, but it was a golden opportunity. In addition, the current Tang Songnian seemed to be the next Ji Yuan, and after a little thought, King Xin decided to promote his concubine Tang Junrou as a concubine, thereby consolidating the in-law relationship with the Tang mansion.
It was only when he learned that Tang Mansion had split up, and Tang Songnian's mansion was separated, his brows unknowingly tightened, but on second thought, he couldn't write two Tang characters in one stroke, could it be because of split Mansion? This bloodline is broken
Wanting to understand this, he stayed in Tang Junrou's house that night, intentionally or unintentionally asking her to go to Tang Songnian's house more.
Tang Junrou understood what he meant, and there was no reason to refuse. She responded again and again, gave him a coquettish glance, and drew a circle on his chest provocatively.
King Xin was so hot all over by her teasing that he could not wait to use his own means to teach this woman to lie under him and cry more and more. But when she thought of the Tang Mansion behind her, she had to suppress the arrogance, held her little hand and patted it gently, then found a reason and left.
Tang Junrou was embarrassed and annoyed when he saw that he had already provoked his interest, but he still left without looking back.
After marrying into Prince Xin's mansion, Prince Xin has indeed been very gentle and considerate towards her, even between the bed and the bed. At first she was secretly proud of his pity for her, but gradually she became dissatisfied, but no matter how provocative she was, The King of Letters is always trying to stop.
If that's the case, that's fine, but every time the King of Letters left her, he turned around and passed on someone else's bed, so angry that she almost snapped her fingernails.
However, it was not until a certain day in the future that she knew how rare the gentleness of King Xin is now, but at that time, she was half footed into hell, and it was too late to regret it.

When he got the news that He Shaoting had captured Xuanqing alive, Tang Huaizhou and Tang Junyao were playing a game, and Tang Huaimian, who was on the side, watched with relish, and occasionally interjected a few words rather unscrupulously. Begging for mercy.
When Chang Feng came in to report the news, Tang Junyao paused for a moment, his eyes quickly condensed murderous intent, and asked with a sullen face, "What about Fangyi?"
"Let her run away." Changfeng retorted, paused for a while, and couldn't help but say, "That woman's heart is so ruthless, she used Xuanqing's demonic way as bait to escape by herself, it is hard for that demonic way to return. Saved her life!"
Tang Huaizhou sneered: "This is also what the demonic Taoist asked for himself."
He took a few deep breaths and asked again, "Do you know what General He plans to do with that demon?"
"The general has already written a book overnight and sent it to the capital, waiting for His Majesty's instructions!"
Tang Huaizhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly looked at Tang Junyao, both of whom had a plan in their hearts.
He Shaoting captured Xuanqing alive, and when he wanted to chase Fangyi again, he could only watch as she entered the territory of Dongdi under the protection of several Dongdi people, while he was blocked by Dongdi soldiers at the border. , and finally had to evacuate temporarily.
Although he failed to catch Fangyi, he did not return without success, because this time he was sure that the imperial power of the Xun clan of the previous dynasty had been integrated into the interior of the Dongdi royal family.
He turned his head and looked at Xuan Qing, who had lost his look of virtuous and respected immortals, and had a murderous look on his face since he knew that he had been betrayed by Fang Yi as a scapegoat.
"Should this general call you Daoist Xuanqing, or Daoist Kong Wu?"
Xuan Qing, who was originally sluggish and silent, changed his face when he heard the word 'empty' and looked over in horror, his voice was hoarse: "How did you know about the emptiness?"
He Shaoting did not answer his words, and said with a sneer: "Ziyang Daoist is highly respected and has a heart of compassion and compassion.
Xuan Qing's composure could no longer be maintained, his face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.
He really wanted to say that he was not an empty Daoist, and he didn't know any Ziyang Daoist, but that was the only pure land in his life, teach him how to be willing to deny it!
He Shaoting didn't have the heart to say anything to him, so he asked with a gloomy face: "How did you collude with Yu Niefangyi and others from the previous dynasty to kill Xu Boru's family in Huaiping County, take their daughter, and then how did you bury her alive? , I want to move my soul and continue my life as a demon. All these years, I have conspired with Fang Yi and Wu Yingniang to conspire with Fang Yi and Wu Yingniang in the name of wandering all these years.
When he asked these questions, he did not think that the other party would definitely cooperate and recruit them, so he prepared a large punishment early in the morning. He will never show mercy to such villains who, in order to achieve ulterior motives, do not spare even infants.
How could he have thought that Xuan Qing's mind has been in chaos since he heard the words 'Ziyang Taoist' and 'empty', and because he was betrayed by Fang Yi, he was completely distraught, and he knew everything.
Although the truth about Xu Boru's case has been investigated for seven or eight years, but now it has been confirmed from Xuanqing's mouth, He Shaoting is still so angry that he clenched his fists to calm himself down.
"I thought that the sky was endless, but unexpectedly taught a poor Taoist to know that the birth date of Master Tang's youngest daughter's birth date is actually very compatible with the youngest daughter of the Xu family, Ting Ruo..."
"What Master Tang? Which Master Tang's little daughter?" He Shaoting was horrified and suddenly interrupted him.
"At that time, Mr. Tang Songnian, the magistrate of Anping County, Mr. Tang. Mrs. Tang's daughter was a little weak because of premature birth. Mrs. Tang asked Pindao for the safety of her granddaughter." Xuanqing has recovered his calm. , his voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
It's Baoya, it's Baoya! The soul they wanted to detain turned out to be Bao Ya's! ! He Shaoting trembled all over, shouted violently, suddenly rushed forward and punched him so hard that he slammed into the wall and bounced back to the ground.
He rolled with qi and blood, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes darkened, and he fainted immediately.
Fan Guang, who was waiting outside the door, heard the movement, pushed the door open and came in to see that his general was grabbing Xuanqing's clothes, who had fallen unconscious, and was about to hit him with a fist. No, if you want to fight or kill, you must first interrogate it clearly!"
He Shaoting only felt that there was a mass of anger burning in his heart, and it seemed like thousands of ants were biting his heart, making him sore and aching.
"Take water to wake him up!!" He clenched his fists loosely, loosened them and then clenched them tightly. After going back and forth a few times, he managed to suppress the anger that was burning more and more, and forcefully shook Xuanqing away, and ordered in a deep voice. .
Fan Guang hurriedly asked people to prepare.
Xuan Qing was splashed with cold water, and his body was in severe pain, as if all the bones in his body were about to shatter. He coughed heavily, and then coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
"And then? You took advantage of Madam Tang's trust in you to set up a murderous plan to detain her granddaughter's soul?" He heard the murderous and vicious voice of the young general.
He wiped his face indiscriminately and took a few breaths, but he didn't know where the wound was affected, and the pain caused him to sweat coldly on his forehead, and he almost couldn't breathe.
"… Yes, it is."
He took a few breaths, struggled to get up, and sat down with his back against the wall.
"I handed the soul arresting talisman as a safety talisman to Mrs. Tang, knowing that she would definitely put this talisman on the little girl, and then set up a soul-locking formation on the secret path to restrain the soul of the little girl of the Xu family and prevent her from leaving. body."
"Everything was ready, but unfortunately it failed in the end. This is nothing to be surprised by, it is against the sky..."
Having said that, he spat out a mouthful of blood again.
That approach failed, and his cultivation had been destroyed by seven or eight out of ten, and his body had been severely injured, so he had to retreat to recuperate.
If the cultivation base is destroyed, there is no possibility of recovery, so is the damage to the body. All of this was his retribution for forcibly changing his life against the sky. He had already thought of such an end beforehand, and there was nothing to complain about.
"Because of the failure of the method, the little girl of the Xu family, whose life is on the line, is even more in danger. But Qingping and the others are unwilling to give up..."
"Qing Ping? Fang Yi is Princess Qing Ping from the previous dynasty?" He Shaoting asked with a cold face.
"Yes, she is Princess Qingping, and the one who died in her place was just her maid." Xuan Qing said in a low voice.
"What happened later? She was unwilling to fail, so how did you do it?" He Shaoting did not expect that they would be so unwilling to give up, which shows that he believed in Xu Tingruo's destiny very much.
"My first teacher once had a spiritual jade weapon left behind. If the poor Dao sacrifices his life to try, he may have another chance. It's a pity..." He sighed in a low voice, "It's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill the wishes of the people. Jade was smashed into the sewage by the little girl Tang, and her spiritual power was completely lost, and it is useless. Maybe this is the will of God, and it is also a warning from God."
At that moment, he knew that Xun Shi was indeed exhausted, and there was no possibility of recovery, but unfortunately he was blinded by the obsession in his heart, woke up too late, and had committed an unforgivable sin.
He Shaoting clenched his teeth desperately, his eyes were red, the veins on his forehead were beating frequently, and his body was filled with terrifying killing intent.
Just a little bit, just a little bit, if it wasn't for the little girl being pampered and naughty, if it wasn't for...
He didn't dare to imagine it any longer, he only knew that it was only a little short, and there was no such thing as that crippled little girl in this world, and there was no such girl who could easily make him sleepless at night.
"You pretended to be wandering for more than ten years, and you have been helping Na Fangyi with things?" He took a few deep breaths before trying to squeeze such a sentence out of his teeth.
Xuan Qing only felt dizzy, and there was a pain all over his body, and he was almost unable to sit still.
"No, no, I haven't seen her again for more than ten years, and I haven't had any contact with her people until I accidentally met her in Tongzhou City last year who was being chased by officers and soldiers." His voice became weaker and weaker as he said At this point, he tilted his head and fainted again.
Fan Guang stepped forward to check his pulse: "General, don't worry, people are still alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Shaoting turned around and strode away. After a while, he heard a loud 'bang' from outside the door, as if something had collapsed.
He sighed, knowing that this must be his general venting his anger.
He Shaoting was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he pulled out the guard's long sword and danced around in the empty courtyard, finally punching heavily on the low wall.
The low wall that was crumbling and crumbling, how could it withstand the punch that he threw in his rage, and finally collapsed after being overwhelmed.
He Shaoting was panting heavily, but his anger did not subside. At this moment, he just felt that as long as that person was alive and well, it didn't matter how bad, how naughty, and how worried he was.
All her strange behaviors have finally had a reasonable explanation. She must have found out about it early in the morning, knowing that she had been so viciously calculated when she was a child, so she will deal with Fangyi Xuanqing and others at all costs. would know so much about them.
On the way back to Anping County, in the name of interrogation, he used the prepared torture instruments on Xuanqing's body one by one, and watched his screams from the beginning with indifference, and gradually became unable to even scream in pain. .
"General, he has suffered so many punishments and has not recruited anything. For the more than ten years he wanted to come to Yunyou, he really did not participate in the remnants of the previous dynasty." Fan Guang saw that he was scarred, but he recruited again. If nothing was useful, he hesitated for a moment before whispering.
He Shaoting took a few steps forward and kicked Xuanqing, who had fainted many times on the ground. In the end, he was afraid that he would die if he couldn't stand the torture, so he had to order the torture to stop, and asked a doctor to take care of him. Be sure to save his life for the time being until the Holy Judgment.
He naturally did not let Tang Junyao know about the series of things he did after arresting Xuan Qing.
On the day He Shaoting returned with Xuanqing in custody, Tang Junyao found a reason to go to see him, in order to first find out what the court wanted to do with Xuanqing, and also wanted to find out if Xuanqing had a confession and confessed. what.
Unexpectedly, she fell into a generous and warm embrace as soon as she entered the door. She was stunned for a while, and then she showed a shallow happy smile, leaned meekly on her thick chest, and asked narrowly, "Brother Ting, is this what you want? Am I?"
I thought that someone with a restrained temperament must be vague again, but I never expected to hear him reply in a low voice: "I thought about it, I thought about it a lot, I thought about it all the way, I want to come back to see you earlier, and I want to be with you all the time. never parted."
"Bao Ya, I miss you so much!" He couldn't hold back the longing in his heart any longer. He gently pinched her chin, lowered his head and covered the flower-like lips that were slightly open in surprise.
