"Brother, if you stay, I will stay with you." Tang Ziyan pouted and said stubbornly.
Tang Fei slowly shook his head and said: "Zi Yan, you are the hope of our Tang family. Follow this lady to learn your skills. When one day you become really powerful, come and avenge the shame of our Tang family."
"But you can learn skills with me. Brother, if you are so good, your future achievements will definitely be higher than Zi Yan's." Tang Ziyan grabbed Tang Fei's hand and said with a look of reluctance.
"No, I can't, at least not now. I want to go back to Huaiyang County. I want to see if anyone in our Tang family survives."
Zi Yan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Tang Fei's scorching eyes: "Zi Yan, if you are really good for my brother, you should let me go. If our family really has no hope, I will not be stupid."
When I have a head-on fight with the Lin family, I will hide and practice slowly until one day I surpass the Lin family and then I will seek revenge on them!"
There was a coldness in Tang Fei's voice, which shocked Shui Ling beside him.
After saying these words, Tang Fei's voice softened again: "Zi Yan, you have to believe me, nothing will happen to me! You follow my wife to learn your skills, and I will come to find you personally in the future."
Zi Yan couldn't help but tighten Tang Fei's hand slightly, and said, "Then you must keep your word..."
Tang Fei showed a relieved smile on his face and nodded with a smile.
…
The carriage stopped at a corner. Tang Fei jumped off the carriage and waved his palms to the people in the carriage.
"Brother, you have to be careful!" Tang Ziyan's slightly crying voice made Tang Fei tremble slightly. Holding back the feeling of wanting to cry, Tang Fei told himself: "I am a man, I can only bleed."
Cry."
With a sore nose, Tang Feiqiang smiled and turned around, walking forward step by step.
The direction the carriage turned led to a towering mountain range, while the road Tang Fei took was flat.
Behind him, a road monument was left far behind, with several strong characters "Huaiyang County" written on it.
…
Along the way, Tang Fei became much more cautious. As long as someone came closer than two meters away from him, his body would become tense.
However, the situation like before is not happening anymore. Although the Hu family's influence in Jiangbei County is not small, when it reaches the boundary of Huaiyang County, that influence naturally fades a lot. Tang Fei's reward order,
So far, it has not been delivered to Huaiyang County.
For most of the day's journey, Tang Fei covered himself deeply with his robe, never exposing his face. His eyes scanned the surroundings like a wolf.
****
On the road leading from Huaiyang County to Dahuang County, a group of men and horses in tough clothes were advancing slowly. These people had fierce faces and were covered in tendon meat. It was obvious at a glance that they were not easy people. In such a remote place,
When driving in the mountains and forests, there are usually many bandits who come out to kill people and steal goods, but today the woods on both sides of the road were extremely quiet, without any sign of bandits.
At the front of the team were two middle-aged men riding tall horses. One of them, a man in a dark cloth robe, was frowning. He glanced around with a pair of tiger eyes, and the vigilance deep in his eyes never faded.
The other middle-aged man behind him had a bit of a sneer on his face, looking a bit like a second-generation ancestor.
At this moment, after the second generation ancestor glanced around, he suddenly laughed at the middle-aged man in front of him and said: "Brother, I have heard of the reputation of 'Ganggangma, Huaiyang Mountain' in the early years, and they all said that it is in Grangang County.
Horse thieves, the bandits in Huaiyang County are the dominant ones in Dahuang County, but today we have been walking in the forest for so long, and we haven’t even seen a bird feather. I see that the bandits in Huaiyang County are all wasteful.
It’s just a false reputation. Brother, I’m afraid the money you prepared for doing things is gone, so you might as well let me use it to drink flower wine..."
The man in dark cloth robe turned his head and glared at the second-generation ancestor, and said cautiously: "Shiyong, don't talk nonsense, the bandits in Huaiyang County robbed hundreds of thousands of taels of tax silver back then, and were surrounded and suppressed by a hundred thousand imperial troops.
A hot-blooded man who is still proud of the green forest, if your statement is heard by them, it will not be so easy for us to escape."
Hu Shiyong curled his lips and muttered: "With hundreds of thousands of taels of tax money, no small prefect can earn more in a year. What's there to show off? There is still a hundred thousand troops in the imperial court, just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags..."
The middle-aged man who was called the eldest brother knitted his brows and said bitterly: "Okay, Hu Shiyong, shut your mouth!"
As if sensing that his elder brother was unhappy, Hu Shiyong shrugged helplessly with a cynical look on his face.
After being bored by his elder brother, Hu Shiyong rode up to the middle of the team, raised his whip, and asked the groom next to the carriage:
"Have those people inside eaten?"
The groom respectfully replied: "As for the second master, no, these three people have not had a drop of water for three days..."
Hu Shiyong spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "What kind of son of a slanderous enemy? If my father hadn't told me what to do, not only would I not have let them eat, but I would have beaten them up every day..."
The groom smiled flatteringly and said: "Second Master, why are you angry with them? They were sent to the Lin family and they will have a hard time. Second Master, you might as well enjoy the fresh air in the forest."
Hu Shiyong snorted and rode away without comment.
In the carriage, Tang Yu, Liu Neng and Tang Yuanbao were all tied up with iron ropes, with a ball of cloth stuffed in their mouths, leaving them speechless.
Hearing the conversation outside, Tang Yu's eyes almost burst into flames. He never thought that his grandfather's life-and-death friend would betray them. Tang Yu hated this Hu Jun with all his heart.
The yelling outside just now made his blood surge, and he suddenly wanted to stand up.
However, there was a sudden snort from behind, which made Tang Yu startled for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Liu Neng slowly shaking his head, with a calm look in his eyes. The anger in Tang Yu's heart gradually subsided, and he sat down again.
.
The team moved forward slowly. Suddenly, Hu Shizhong, who was walking at the front, narrowed his eyes.
Two figures stood in the distance in front of the road. The figures were as motionless as iron towers, just standing there.
Seeing these two blurry figures, Hu Shiyong's eldest brother Hu Shizhong's expression changed slightly, and his thoughts were changing over and over again, as if he was thinking of countermeasures.
"The two people in front must be bandits in this area, right? They are really brave people with high skills. Just two people want to rob the entire team..."
The other people in the team obviously saw the two figures blocking the road and immediately started whispering.
As the team slowly approached, Hu Shizhong's expression finally changed. He knew the two people in front of him.
One is Tang Zhen, the old man of the Tang family, and the other is Tang Shaokun, who is known as the second generation top master in Huaiyang.
The two people looked solemn, with their hands behind their backs. The breeze blew by, and their belts were slowly fluttering. A chilling atmosphere suddenly enveloped the space...
