【Ah, I'll bite you, you tree-pit! Brothers and sisters, please help Guo Guo get the monthly votes up!】
Back at Tang Family Castle, Zheng Qian and his gang of bandits were all thrown into the dark dungeon of Tang Family Castle.
After confirming that the younger generation was settled, Tang Boyuan and the others worked through the night.
They recalled all the forces distributed outside to Tang Family Castle to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the injured Tang Family Castle members and causing even greater destruction.
At the same time, the most important thing was to clean up the traces and seal the news, so that the news of the Tang Family Castle convoy being attacked would not be confirmed in Wulong Town.
If they showed even the slightest weakness, trouble would follow one after another.
The residents of Wulong Town were like sharks; when you were still strong, no one would provoke you, but as soon as they smelled a hint of blood, they would pounce and gnaw you to the bone.
Tang Boyuan and the others worked through the night...
Tang Zheng returned to his room.
It was already morning, and the long-awaited light shining through the small window gave him a strange sense of security.
Last night, when they saw the countless bandits rushing over, Tang Xiaotang and the others were truly ready to protect him with their lives until the end.
"Each one is more eager to show off than the last," Tang Zheng complained, then fell into a deep sleep.
Tang Zheng couldn't remember how many times he had used his martial arts today.
He only knew that no previous physical exhaustion was as severe as this.
At noon, he was woken up by Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang wasn't seriously injured in last night's battle, but she had a long wound on her arm that extended from her upper arm to her hand.
Tang Zheng watched as she carefully held the soup. Her injured right hand was trembling slightly, and his heart seemed to tremble with her.
The bowl of soup was too full.
When Tang Xiaotang's right hand trembled, the soup splashed onto her injured hand, making her wince.
However, the bowl of soup in her hand didn't fall to the ground.
Tang Zheng quickly turned over, took the soup from Tang Xiaotang, and tested the temperature. "So hot, letting an injured person deliver it. You must not be your father's biological daughter!"
"Nonsense. The opportunity to bring hot soup to the teacher should of course be left to the biological daughter," Tang Xiaotang said, shaking her burned hand and smiling. "My father dotes on me the most!"
"Will there be a scar on your arm?" Tang Zheng asked while drinking the soup.
"Is that the point?" Tang Xiaotang blinked.
"Will a long scar on a girl's arm affect her marriage prospects in the future?" Tang Zheng teased her with a smile.
Tang Xiaotang looked at him speechlessly, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Is that so? Well... since it's an injury for the teacher, if I really can't get married, the teacher should reluctantly take me in!"
Tang Zheng almost sprayed the soup on Tang Xiaotang's face.
Tang Zheng then asked about the specific injuries...
Although no one from Tang Family Castle died yesterday, everyone was injured. Tang Xiaotang, who couldn't lift her weapon for ten to fifteen days, was considered lightly injured. Several people had internal injuries.
"Is Xuanxuan awake yet?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Not yet," Tang Xiaotang shook her head. "She's too badly injured. If she doesn't wake up by tonight, Uncle Three will take her away from Wulong Town! As long as we cross Wushan Mountain, it's about a day's carriage ride to the east, out of the Tian Qin Family's territory. The border city of Feishi, between the two families, is guarded by the Red Tassel Army of the Changyuan Leng Family, which is a major rear support for the front line at Tulun Pass... The Changyuan Leng Family has a high level of military doctors because they have a good relationship with the Heavenly Medical Valley. The military doctors of the Leng Family have also helped many residents in the Qin Family's territory."
"Why wait until tonight? Can't we take her away now?" Tang Zheng asked.
"No," Tang Xiaotang shook her head. "It's too dangerous during the day."
Tang Xiaotang didn't specify where the danger was, and Tang Zheng didn't ask further.
After all, the situation in Wulong Town was better understood by Tang Xiaotang and the others.
But Tang Zheng was worried whether Tang Xuan could remain unconscious until night and whether she could survive the long journey to the military camp...
Even if they reached the military camp, if there was no battle, it would be fine, but if the two armies were just changing positions, the military doctors would be too busy treating the wounded from the front lines to have time to care about their lives.
After finishing the soup, Tang Xiaotang took the things away and instructed him not to worry about others and to rest and recover.
When Tang Xiaotang went out, the sunlight outside the door shone in, casting a beautiful shadow of her slender figure on the ground.
Tang Zheng remembered that Lan Yan Yi had said before he died that no one in this generation of Tang Family Castle could compare to Lan Shaoye.
That was true in terms of strength and cunning.
But Tang Zheng felt it was completely different.
Lan Yan Yi couldn't see the potential of the Tang Family Castle's young generation, but Lan Shaoye saw it, which was why he wanted to eliminate them all at once.
The only four-star martial artist in the Hidden Blue Manor was already half-dead.
Even if Tang Family Castle was inferior to the Hidden Blue Manor in every way, the vibrant energy of Tang Xiaotang and the others was already the greatest threat to the Hidden Blue Manor in twenty years!
After Tang Xiaotang left, Tang Zheng stretched and stood up.
He returned to his bedroom and quietly looked at the screen by the window for a long time.
...
Tang Boyuan and the others worked almost a day and a night without rest but finally sorted everything out.
In one day, Tang Boyuan stayed at home, while Tang Zhongxing led people to find and bring back the mother and children of Zhen Jizhi.
Incidentally, the three residences of Lan Shaoye on West Street were also found. One was where Lan Shaoye lived, and the other two were where he kept his mistresses. Tang Zhongxing found and killed the mistresses, and their bodies were thrown into Lan Shaoye's yard.
Even this alone shook the Hidden Blue Manor.
They didn't know what Lan Shaoye had done to Tang Family Castle, but they knew that Tang Family Castle's provocation against the Hidden Blue Manor had started with these two mistresses of Lan Shaoye!
"Once the children have recovered," Tang Boyuan said after listening to Tang Zhongxing's report, "as soon as they regain their strength, we will directly attack the Hidden Blue Manor!"
"Yes, the most important thing now is the children..." Tang Zhongxing understood.
"How is Xuanxuan?" Tang Boyuan asked.
Tang Zhongxing shook his head.
Although Tang Xuan was protected by Old Ghost at the scene and wasn't further injured, the doctors of Tang Family Castle were helpless with her injuries, and her life was slipping away.
"Let Uncle Three take Xuanxuan away as soon as possible," Tang Boyuan sighed. "Have him take enough money to find the Red Tassel Army. As long as Xuanxuan can be saved, money is not a problem. Even if Tang Family Castle goes into debt, it's worth it!"
"Yes!" Tang Zhongxing nodded.
As long as the people were still alive, Tang Family Castle had a future, and they had nothing to fear!
However, they wouldn't forget this debt. The timing and the viciousness of the attack had made them no longer see Lan Shaoye as just a young member of the Hidden Blue Manor.
Thinking about all the "ifs" and "possibilities" from yesterday, they broke out in cold sweat.
It was too dangerous.
If any other outcome had happened yesterday, they couldn't have borne it!
"Brother..." Tang Zhongxing hesitated.
"Speak," Tang Boyuan said.
"I increasingly feel that Teacher Tang is not a simple person," Tang Zhongxing said. "Today, I heard Zixie and the others describe the battle in detail. It was Teacher Tang who first discovered the ambush, preventing them from falling into the trap. Later, during the fight, it was Teacher Tang who maneuvered and saved many people..."
"Yes, his knowledge, wealth, and combat experience are beyond our understanding," Tang Boyuan frowned. "Moreover, Lan Shaoye's hostility towards Teacher Tang at the Dagger Appraisal Conference was also unusually intense."
"Could they have some old grudge?" Tang Zhongxing asked.
Tang Boyuan shook his head. "Why ask so much?"
In the almost certain death battle last night, Tang Zheng still tried his best to protect every student, not letting anyone leave first, which already said a lot.
From "studying for the rise of Tang Family Castle" to the time capsule, to a social practice that brought Tang Family Castle both fame and wealth, Tang Zheng's dedication to the young generation of Tang Family Castle was enough to make Tang Boyuan and the others put aside all other doubts.
However, just as they stopped considering Tang Zheng's issues, a servant immediately came in to report that Tang Zheng had something to find them...
"Please come in quickly," Tang Boyuan stood up immediately.
Seeing Tang Zheng and what he was holding, Tang Boyuan was stunned.
Tang Zheng smiled. "Uncle, are you free now?"
Tang Boyuan's eyes were still fixed on his hand. "Yes... but..."
"Regarding Tian Meng, regarding Lan Shaoye, there are many things that I haven't had the time to explain in detail. If you're free now, can I have the chance to speak my mind?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
"Of course," Tang Boyuan quickly invited Tang Zheng to sit down.
Tang Zheng sat down at the lower seat, and the flower pot he had been holding was placed on the table.
Tang Zhongxing, who hadn't understood what it was for a long time, suddenly stared at it without blinking when Tang Zheng put it down.
"Is... is this the Paper Intoxication of the Lan Family?" Tang Zhongxing asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it's not poisonous, you can touch it safely..." Tang Zheng smiled.
Seeing the Paper Intoxication that Tang Zheng brought out, and thinking about the day Tang Zheng arrived at Tang Family Castle and the initial cause of the Hidden Blue Manor's series of misfortunes...
Tang Boyuan and Tang Zhongxing looked at each other, and a very absurd guess suddenly appeared in their minds!
