Huaiyang County has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days. A large number of horse thieves have appeared in Huaiyang County. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes along the way. However, the government remained strangely silent and did not take any measures against the horse thieves.
The horse thieves came and went in a hurry. After plundering in Huaiyang County, they returned to Grangang County with their loaded goods, and a disaster was far away from the people of Huaiyang County.
However, every time the common people talked about the hurricane-like horse thieves, their faces would show a look of fear. The decisiveness of these horse thieves' killings left a deep mark on people's hearts.
In addition, the Tang family, which was originally a large aristocratic family in Huaiyang County, suddenly disappeared, and there was no more news. All the members of the Tang family disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated from the world.
This caused some good people to speculate a little more. The Lin family in Dahuang County had just been unified not long ago. People can naturally easily connect it to the natural disaster more than a year ago. The Tang family suddenly disappeared this time. If it is said that it is the same as the Lin family.
It didn't matter at all, people wouldn't believe anything they said, but the Lin family did it so well that those who wanted to dig up clues were disappointed.
The Tang family completely disappeared overnight. Some families in Dahuang County who were originally suspicious of the Lin family immediately became respectful when facing the Lin family. The Tang family had ten-level peak experts in charge, but they also ended up with their entire family ruined.
, no one is stupid enough to go against the Lin family.
The disappearance of the Tang family is directly related to the gang of horse thieves who suddenly entered Huaiyang County and the Wang family as officials.
As for the other Zhao family entrenched in Zhaojiazhuang, naturally no one will ignore it.
In Zhaojiazhuang, in the attic study room, a skinny old man was standing in front of the window, looking at the books in his hands. His eyes were bright, and he would lick his fingertips with his tongue from time to time, turning the pages of the books.
This posture has been maintained for a long time, but no one dared to disturb the old man.
Because of the old man's identity, he is the real owner of this village, Zhao Yongsheng, a master of the same generation as Tang Zhen.
Zhao Yongsheng has the habit of reading in the library every afternoon. This habit has remained unchanged for decades. The descendants in the family know this habit of his. Whenever the old man is studying, they will stay away from here and give him a copy.
A safe reading environment.
Some people may worry about the safety of the old man staying here alone, but the Zhao family does not worry about this. The old man's realm has already reached the tenth level. In the entire Huaiyang County, only Tang Zhen can match it.
.
In the past, Tang Zhen lived in Tangjia Town and posed no threat to Zhao Yongsheng in Zhaojiabao. But now, the entire Tang family has disappeared without a trace, and that threat is even less worth mentioning.
At dusk, the setting sun gradually sets, and the light shines into the windows of the library and reflects on the books.
Zhao Yongsheng slowly closed the book and sighed: "Old relative, since you are already here, why don't you come out and have a good chat?"
There was silence in the library for a long time, and finally the sound of footsteps sounded.
An old man with a strong physique walked out slowly from behind the bookshelf, his face expressionless, making people wonder what he was thinking.
If Tang Fei were here, he would definitely be surprised, because the old man standing behind Zhao Yongsheng is his grandfather Tang Zhen.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and your hearing is still so sharp..." Tang Zhen said slowly.
Zhao Yongsheng smiled bitterly, turned to look at Tang Zhen, who had a blank look on his face, and said helplessly: "So what, even now, we still can't tell the winner..."
The two looked at each other, with complex expressions flashing in their eyes.
After a long while, Zhao Yongsheng smiled and said: "You came to me this time, probably for some help, right?"
Tang Zhen nodded and said with sadness in his voice: "The Tang family has disappeared, and there are only a few clan members left. I think my old relatives will help me with this..."
Zhao Yongsheng pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked: "My little grandson..."
"There is no news about all the descendants of the Tang family..." Tang Zhen said with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Yongsheng lamented inexplicably and said slowly: "I will find a way to arrange a place for you Tang family members. The power of the Lin family is really terrifying, far beyond your imagination."
Tang Zhen remained silent and did not speak, neither affirming nor denying.
"By the way, I got some news about your descendants of the Tang family..." Suddenly, Zhao Yongsheng seemed to have remembered something and said suddenly.
Tang Zhen's eyes suddenly shot out with blazing light, his body trembled, and he asked: "What news?!"
"I also received a letter from the Wang family yesterday. I heard that the Hu Jun family in Jiangbei County captured Tang Yu and Tang Yuanbao and were taking them to the Lin family in Dahuang County to make the Wang family's journey easier..."
"Yu'er is still alive?!" The old man's heart surged, and his palms trembled slightly.
Zhao Yongsheng nodded and said helplessly: "It should be tomorrow. Tomorrow they will arrive at the boundary of Huaiyang County. There is only so much help I can give you."
Tang Zhen laughed miserably and sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Tang Zhen, would never bow my head all my life, and in the end I would be so depressed. My friends who died in the past would be so cruel now..."
Zhao Yongsheng remained silent and did not speak.
"What I didn't expect is that after arriving in such a field, the person who gave me the Tang family a way to survive would actually be the biggest enemy in the past..." With a self-deprecating smile, Tang Zhen turned and walked back.
Zhao Yongsheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Tang Zhen, I am not doing this for your Tang family. It is for my daughter and my grandson!"
Tang Zhen paused for a moment and finally disappeared into the golden afterglow.
…
On the winding mountain road, two small figures were climbing hard.
Tang Fei looked at Tang Ziyan who was sweating profusely and handed her hand over.
Tang Ziyan put her hand in Tang Fei's palm, and Tang Fei exerted force on his feet, leading Tang Ziyan to run quickly on the mountain road. Tang Ziyan enjoyed the speed, and the cool autumn wind blew on her face, making the girl
The feeling of confusion in my heart was quietly hidden at this moment.
Tang Fei had trained countless times in mountain climbing training. Mountain roads with such a slope were naturally no problem for him. After climbing over a large mountain, he and Tang Ziyan finally avoided the towns around Jiangbei County and appeared on a rather wide road.
on the road.
On the dusty road, merchants passed by at high speed from time to time. Tang Fei bargained for a long time with a caravan before exchanging a good medicinal herb for two sets of robes.
After putting the robes on himself and Tang Ziyan, the faces could no longer be seen from the outside.
Feeling quietly relieved, Tang Fei led Tang Ziyan, asked passers-by for directions, and walked towards Huaiyang County.
Two thin men dressed as business travelers noticed Tang Fei and the others early on. When they saw the two children walking forward, they looked at each other and followed them quietly.
These two people were very experienced, and they kept a long distance from Tang Fei so that Tang Fei would not find out.
Although Tang Fei was vigilant, there were many merchants on the road, so he couldn't completely ignore them. He only occasionally scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes.
