Chapter 193 The storm is coming
Chu Tang finally got his wish and received preferential treatment from Tao Ying.
The latter invited him out of the wing room where guests were mixed, and placed him in an independent courtyard on the west side of the academy.
The environment here is deep and there are few people around, so Chu Tang no longer has to pretend to be weak for others to see.
Therefore, when Tao Ying and Su Qingyue arrived together, they saw Chu Tang leisurely reading a book at the stone table under a big tree in the yard.
"Hey, Team Leader Chu is so excited!" Tao Ying's relaxed voice sounded, somewhat surprised.
Chu Tang raised his head and saw two beauties shining brightly under the scorching sun.
They passed through the courtyard gate and were walking towards me.
Putting down the book in his hand, Chu Tang responded: "I just had lunch and have nothing to do. Let's read some books to relax."
Tao Ying pulled Su Qingyue, whose expression had returned to normal, to the stone table where Chu Tang was sitting. He first pushed Miss Su to sit down, and then she followed and sat on the side. She glanced at the books on the table and raised her eyebrows. He picked it up and said, "Boss Chu likes character stories very much? I heard that you borrowed several unofficial histories of officials from our library."
Of course, Chu Tang couldn't say that he didn't know much about this world and this dynasty. He hoped to gain some understanding by reading relevant secretaries.
He replied: "Poems, songs, and essays make me sleepy after reading them, but these stories are better."
He rewarded him with two rolls of eyes!
In front of the dean of an academy and a young girl who claims to be a talented woman, I said that reading poems and articles makes me sleepy. Is this self-deprecation or irony?
Chu Tang found that Su Qingyue seemed a little afraid of him. Although she was sitting opposite, she kept her head lowered and looked at him with twinkling eyes.
"Miss Su's complexion looks better. Is there nothing serious?" Remembering that Su Qingyue fainted at the scene yesterday, Chu Tang couldn't help but ask with concern.
"No...it's okay." Su Qingyue was panicked and couldn't speak clearly.
"That's good." Chu Tang smiled lightly.
"Qingyue, go find Sister Lian and wash some fruits over here. I want to eat them." Tao Ying suddenly ordered Su Qingyue, "Sister Lian is in the side room not far from here. Well, wash more."
"Oh, I'll go right away." Su Qingyue stood up quickly, turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing her walking away, Chu Tang asked Tao Ying suspiciously: "Dean Tao deliberately sent Miss Su away?"
Tao Ying did not answer directly, but looked deeply at Chu Tang and said with emotion: "I didn't mention the homework to her. She still doesn't know about the destruction of the Cheng family, but it should be spread to her soon. It's in my ears. Chu Tang, I have to admit now that I am indeed not as good as Su Hong!"
"Huh?" Chu Tang was surprised, "How come? Although Mr. Su is a prefect of a county, his martial arts skills are not good and his cultivation is low. He is no different from an ant in front of you, Dean Tao."
Tao Ying glanced at him and said, "Have you ever arranged for your own master like this?"
Chu Tang asked back: "Will Dean Tao look down on him because he is the governor of a county?"
Tao Ying was silent.
Chu Tang laughed and said, "Look, how can a mere fourth-grade official stand in the eyes of Dean Tao?"
Tao Ying changed the subject: "Aren't you curious why I said I'm not as good as him?"
Chu Tang shook his head.
"What do you mean when you shake your head? Do you mean you don't know, or you're just not curious?"
Chu Tang stretched out his hand to indicate to Dean Tao that he could continue.
Tao Ying said seriously: "I mentioned to you that Su Hong said in his letter to me that he was optimistic about you and wanted to recruit you as Chenglong's son-in-law, and asked me to match you and Qingyue. But I was opposed to it. , I think you are not a good match."
Chu Tang said leisurely: "In some aspects, Chu is indeed bad."
Tao Ying sighed: "But I said I was wrong."
Chu Tang was stunned and asked, "Because of what happened last night?"
What else could have happened last night? Of course, he, Chu Tang, went on a killing spree and almost single-handedly destroyed the main force of the Cheng family, thus leading to the destruction of a century-old family.
Tao Ying nodded, shook his head, and said: "Actually, it's because the Cheng family has been destroyed, the Su family can rest easy, and Qingyue is much safer. There were grievances between the two families before, and I think Qingyue It is safe to not make a choice for the time being. Now that there is no constraint in this regard, her choice will be much easier. As for you... you are worthy of her!"
Chu Tang smiled and said, "Why does Chu think she is not good enough for me?"
Tao Ying's face tightened and she said, "Because she doesn't know martial arts?"
Chu Tang raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and then said slowly: "Dean Tao, you should have guessed that Chu will not stay in Liangzhou for the rest of his life."
Tao Ying paused and said with a wry smile: "Yes, for ordinary people, Liangzhou is very big and you can't leave in your lifetime; but for you, Liangzhou is too small, only the size of Jiuzhou can measure your steps. Liangzhou Martial Arts The top is in Luoshen Valley, and Luoshen Valley has to struggle for many years to break through the nine realms. If you want to go to the next level, then Liangzhou is indeed a prison for you!"
There is no need to put it too plainly - Chu Tang, who is destined to leave Liangzhou, will lead a woman who does not know martial arts to walk around the world?
Reading at night with red sleeves adding fragrance, walking around with beauties, fighting in the martial arts, how can there be so much poetry and picturesqueness? If you really do this, it is no different from committing suicide!
The two looked at each other in silence for a while.
After a long time, Chu Tang asked: "Dean Tao, you should be the busiest at the moment, why do you have time to come to my place to chat?"
"I've got half a day to spare!" Tao Ying sighed, "I'm just too busy, so I came here to take my time. There are some things I can only talk to you about."
Chu Tang smiled and said nothing.
Unlike Tao Ying, he was too lazy to deal with some things and didn't want to get involved.
Like the destruction of the Cheng family, he didn't take any action.
Tao Ying may be out of anger at being offended by the Cheng family, or because she wants to shock others. Therefore, even in the middle of the night, she runs up and down to contact the Su family, and then goes to the Cheng family in person.
When Tao Ying returned to the academy this morning, she came over and hurriedly explained the process of destroying the Cheng family.
In fact, it's very simple. It's just that the Su family's move caught the Cheng family off guard. In addition, the Cheng family suffered a big loss at the hands of Chu Tang last night and lost several large four-elephant battle formations. Therefore, the Su family killed the entire mansion. .
The most dangerous thing among them was that an ancestor of the Cheng family who had perfected the six realms jumped out and almost suppressed the other six realms of the Su family.
At this time, Tao Ying took action.
She, who was a master of the Sixth Realm, coupled with the power she had comprehended, blocked the ancestor of the Cheng family who had not comprehended the power. She fought nearly two hundred moves before consuming the opponent to death.
In short, Tao Ying put a lot of effort into the destruction of the Cheng family.
She just stepped forward, otherwise how could it be so easy to persuade the Su family to take action?
"The guard Tang Yue sent people to ask me what happened, the governor's office sent people to ask me why, other aristocratic families with whom I was close also asked people to greet me, and even the other old guys in the academy came to question me... Sigh, It's so difficult for me!" Tao Ying sighed with emotion.
But Chu Tang saw the look of joy in her eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, and asked: "Dean Tao, has the Cheng family offended you before?"
He finally figured out that Tao Ying had long planned to kill the Cheng family, and he just found the best opportunity last night.
So, Chu Tang has become a tool?
Tao Ying was startled at first, and then said: "Qingyue's mother is my good friend, you know this. And I am in Qingcheng, and I know how to watch the fire. I predict that the Su and Cheng families will have a life-and-death battle in a few years, so I once found Cheng Yonglin, negotiate with him and ask him to promise not to harm Qingyue and her mother, so that I will never interfere in the affairs of the Su and Cheng family. However, Cheng Yonglin refused and scolded me for meddling in other people's business!"
Hiss!
Chu Tang gasped. Sure enough, when a woman becomes ruthless, there is really nothing wrong with a man.
Never offend a woman, especially a capable woman!
"Why, do you think I'm petty and will retaliate?" Tao Ying laughed.
Chu Tang quickly shook his head and said: "Dean Tao is just worried about the safety of Miss Su and her daughter. If there is an opportunity to eliminate the danger in advance, of course I will do it. If it were Chu, he would definitely do his best."
Tao Ying smiled again and said, "Why do I feel like you understand me very well?"
"The heroes think alike?"
Tao Ying rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "What kind of hero do you think you are? Last night I asked you to come with me to the Cheng family to take revenge, but you stood still and were so cowardly that you died!"
Chu Tang said without shame: "Didn't Mr. Chu use the sword-drawing technique too much? His body was injured and he needed to rest!"
Tao Ying sneered: "Then I see you are so leisurely now, how can there be any sign of injury?"
"It's not over yet. Come out and take a breath." Chu Tang said seriously.
In fact, he didn't lie. Although he was very good at drawing swords, he had used more than a dozen swords in a row, and his perfect Nine Yin Qi couldn't hold it back.
By the end of last night, he had exhausted 40% to 50% of his internal energy.
After a night of adjusting the breath, I have only recovered 99% of my strength, and I still have to rest for at least a day to recover.
So is it wrong to say it’s not over yet?
As for destroying the Cheng family, could he, Chu, do such a dangerous thing?
Having Dean Tao is enough!
Looking around, Tao Ying suddenly said seriously: "Chu Tang, the guards told me that Xu Lingfeng left for Luo Shen Valley early this morning."
"Huh?" Chu Tang's face tightened at first, and then became confused, "I thought he went back yesterday. Staying in Qingcheng to deal with Shi Ziqian's funeral affairs? After that, won't you come to Chu to settle the score?"
Tao Ying shook his head and said: "It is said that after Xu Lingfeng left the academy, he went to find a yamen clerk and sewed up Shi Ziqian's body... Speaking of this, Chu Tang, I have to criticize you. Just kill people, you Why are you making it so scary? After Qingyue fainted from the bloody scene yesterday, she is now afraid to see you!"
Chu Tang cried out: "What does this have to do with Chu? It's just that she is weak."
Tao Ying chuckled: "Although Qingyue doesn't know martial arts, she comes from a martial arts family. Do you think she has never seen a murder scene? It's just that she has never seen you kill someone like this! Think about it for yourself. With one knife, the person will be killed." His neck was obviously broken, but he still talked for a while. When he turned around, his head fell to the ground, and his eyes still showed a look of disbelief. In addition, the standing corpse was spewing blood... This scene is something that all men... I’ll be scared to death, let alone weak women like Qingyue!”
"Is there anything wrong with using a sharp sword?" Chu Tang was not convinced.
Tao Ying glanced at him and said sincerely: "Chu Tang, you are still young, and you may not understand things involving human nature. Let me remind you, it is okay to kill people, and it is okay to kill more, but in the end It’s best not to make the scene too bizarre and terrifying, otherwise people in the world will give you the reputation of a murderer or a murderer with bloody hands, and you will have trouble escaping these stains in your life. When traveling in the world, reputation is sometimes worthless, but there are Timing is also important!”
Chu Tang clasped his fists and thanked Dean Tao for his kindness.
Tao Ying then returned to the topic: "After Xu Lingfeng found someone to sew up Shi Ziqian's body, he went to the best coffin shop in Qingcheng to order a high-quality coffin. After the coffin was finished this morning, he Shi Ziqian put it in. Then he called a carriage and then left the west city gate. Apparently, he wanted to escort Shi Ziqian's body back to Luo Shen Valley."
Chu Tang's face gradually became serious and he said, "Xu Lingfeng has very deep feelings for Shi Ziqian!"
The so-called Jianghu children are Jianghu elders. People who walk in Jianghu are indifferent to life and death. After some of their deaths, their bodies were exposed in the wilderness and no one collected them; some were burned by people and no bones were left; some were buried on the spot, only A handful of loess, not even a tombstone.
In short, it is rare to find someone to sew the body, custom-make a coffin, and transport it back with a carriage like Xu Lingfeng.
"It cannot be ruled out that he hopes to make a bigger noise and deliberately shows it to the people of Luoshen Valley, hoping to force the people of Luoshen Valley to come forward and make the decision on this matter." Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang with a serious expression. Lu looked worried, "So, maybe he is plotting against you."
Chu Tang smiled and asked: "Dean Tao, do you think it's still too late for Chu to escape now?"
Tao Ying smiled bitterly: "Before last night, there was no problem. But now you can't do this unless you leave Liangzhou now."
"Why?"
"Liang Zuo sent someone to tell me today that he has reported your matter to the Governor of Liangzhou. As expected, there will be a reply before dark today. He also told me that he will let you stay in Qingcheng with peace of mind. I will stand up for you.”
Chu Tang couldn't laugh or cry: "In other words, if Chu runs away now, he will tell the Liangzhou governor that Chu does not trust his ability, thereby offending him to death?"
Tao Ying nodded and said: "Liang Zuo is in charge of the affairs in the eastern part of Liangzhou, and your Gui County is under his rule...So, unless you leave Liangzhou, be careful of him giving you little shoes to wear."
Chu Tang smiled and said: "Then Chu can only stay as a guest in the academy for a while longer. Please take care of me, Dean Tao."
"Why do I feel that not only are you not worried about the revenge from Luoshen Valley, but you actually look forward to their arrival?"
"Who said that!" Chu Tang said seriously, "Chu was so scared that he was trembling."
Tao Ying had a suspicious look on her face, as if I believed you were a ghost.
Chu Tang made some nonsense again, and Su Qingyue came back with a plate of fruits.
The two of them immediately stopped talking about things involving martial arts, and instead talked about the books on the table.
When it came to the content of the book, Su Qingyue was no longer sleepy and joined the discussion circle.
After half an hour passed, Tao Ying remembered that there was something else, so she left the yard with Su Qingyue.
When they disappeared, Chu Tang closed his eyes and squinted slightly: "Xu Lingfeng, Luoshen Valley... The rain is about to come, the wind is filling the building!"
It seems that he has to work hard on face martial arts again!
After all the killings last night, his chivalry value kept rising, and now his pockets are bulging!
