Chapter 234 The storm is coming
The broad bluestone street in Qingcheng Midtown is bustling with activity.
The shops along the street are constantly selling, and pedestrians are coming and going on the road. There is a busy scene everywhere.
Chu Tang and Tao Ying each held a horse and walked slowly on the road side by side.
Seeing the breath of human fireworks, Chu Tang's heartstrings that had been tense for many days relaxed a lot. Although his face was still haggard, he felt a lot more energetic.
Most of the sharp light in his eyes dissipated and softened a lot, and what was left was an appreciation of the beauty of the world.
The two walked in silence for a while.
At a crossroads, Tao Ying pulled the horse's reins, stopped, pointed eastward at the straight road ahead and said, "Chu Tang, you should leave the city now. Don't stay after you leave, let alone go back to Guijun." , go directly north, all the way out of Liangzhou."
Chu Tang also stopped, looked at Tao Ying with a half-smile, and asked, "Does Dean Tao want Chu to flee?"
Tao Ying was dissatisfied with Chu Tang's disapproving attitude and raised her voice: "Be more serious! I told you not to be impulsive and not to attack Wang Haochen. But you didn't listen! If you don't take the opportunity to escape now, will you wait until Marquis Nanqing comes back with his troops? Kill you?"
"Dean Tao, didn't you ask me to kill Wang Haochen?" Chu Tang asked back.
Tao Ying was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ask you to kill him?"
Chu Tang said: "You said that in the territory of Liangzhou, there are also the governor of Liangzhou and the Liangzhou commander of the Liangzhou Guards who can suppress Nanqinghou!"
Tao Ying was confused: "What happened if I said this?"
"Chu thought you were giving a hint. It doesn't matter if you kill Wang Haochen. There are still people who can take care of Nan Qinghou."
Tao Ying almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, her beautiful face was distorted, and she said angrily: "Chu Tang, your uncle! How did your wife understand my words like this? Chu Tang, what do you and I have to do with each other?" What kind of hatred do you have, why do you want to harm me like this? If word of this spreads out, and Marquis Nanqing hears it, he will definitely go to Wutong Academy and kill everyone!"
Dean Tao, who had always prided himself on being both civilized and military, and had always looked down on those warriors who could only use violence, couldn't help but curse at his mother at this moment.
There were really too many things that made her depressed today!
In the end, Chu Tang was given some entertainment!
Chu Tang put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Dean Tao, please forgive me, Mr. Chu just made a joke to liven up the atmosphere because he thought you were too nervous and serious. Don't worry, Mr. Chu will never mention this again. , I won’t cause any trouble to the academy.”
Tao Ying glared at him angrily and said, "Now is not the time to talk about trouble or not. I'm serious, run away for your life!"
Chu Tang was silent, slowly raised his head to look at Tao Ying, and said in a deep voice: "Dean Tao, just tell me, should Wang Haochen die?"
"I..." Tao Ying hesitated and sighed, "Then you don't need to kill him in public."
Chu Tang smiled, shook his head and said, "As Dean Tao said, as long as Chu is willing, he can indeed be killed quietly. It will save a lot of trouble if people don't notice."
"and you……"
"But Chu thinks that would be too advantageous for him!" Chu Tang interrupted Tao Ying's last words, with a serious and determined expression, "If we can't declare his crime in front of everyone and kill him openly, the pain in Chu's heart will It’s hard to vent the bad energy!”
Tao Ying smiled bitterly, stared at Chu Tang and sighed and asked, "Then do you think it's worth it?"
Chu Tang raised the magic weapon Yitian with his left hand, patted it with his right hand, and said with a smile: "There is no value or no value, only do it or not do it. Now that you have done it, don't regret it later."
Tao Ying hummed and then said: "Then you go out of Qingcheng first and wait for me in Dongcheng. I will go back to the academy to get those secret books and return them to you."
Chu Tang smiled again, pointed at his head and said: "All martial arts are in Chu's mind, there is no need for any secret books."
Tao Ying said anxiously: "That won't work! These martial arts secrets are not mine, I deserve them."
Chu Tang shook his head and said: "Dean Tao, Mr. Chu gave these secrets to you. Should you practice them yourself or teach them to others, Mr. Chu will have no objection."
Tao Ying was curious: "Others want to take the secrets of martial arts to their coffins, but it would be better for you to give them to them like wholesale cabbage. Aren't you afraid that the person who taught you martial arts will die with a smile on his face?"
Chu Tang laughed heartily: "Martial arts are originally created to be practiced by people. If they are not spread out, how can people know the secrets of these martial arts? Besides, among these martial arts, Qinggong is the only one with some fame. The highest level of Dharma can only reach the fifth or sixth realm, so why be such a pity!"
Tao Ying was speechless. Not only did she admire Chu Tang's grand scheme, it was unparalleled.
In fact, she didn't guess Chu Tang's psychology - for those who can get something for nothing, they certainly won't cherish what they gain. After all, there will be better things later.
Tao Ying rubbed her hands and said excitedly: "Then I'll go back and study it."
Her heart was extremely hot. Thinking of Ming Yu Gong's youthful effect, no woman would be tempted.
What's more, she had just seen Chu Tang perform the Mingyu Gong in Nanqinghou Mansion. The arms were as transparent as jade, with ice muscles and jade bones. It looked scary at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it was quite bluffing. A superb magical skill!
Chu Tang waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to get excited.
When Tao Ying calmed down, he led the horse to turn south at the intersection.
When Tao Ying saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then chased after him and shouted: "Chu Tang, you want to leave Nancheng and return to Guijun? You are crazy! Marquis Nanqing knows where your hometown is. If you return to Guijun, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
Chu Tang was obviously in a much better mood, with a constant smile on his face.
He turned back to Tao Ying and said, "If Chu doesn't escape, he will stay in Qingcheng."
"Why don't you listen to anything I say? Are you going to make me mad?" Tao Ying was angry.
"Dean Tao, this is Chu's own decision."
Tao Ying was a little crazy. After taking a deep breath, she calmed down. She looked at Chu Tang and said, "Then you are going the wrong way. The direction back to the academy is from the back."
Chu Tang continued walking with firm steps and said loudly: "Chu will not go back to the academy. You are all scholars and cannot withstand the impact of Marquis Nan Qing."
"Then where are you going?" Tao Ying was surprised and surprised.
"Go to the Governor's Mansion." Chu Tang answered simply.
Tao Ying was stunned for a moment, then chased after him and asked, "Does Shen Zuo have a deep grudge against you?"
"No. On the contrary, he admires Chu very much."
"Then why did you want to harm him?" Tao Ying was still confused.
Today, Chu Tang is a hot potato. If he stays in Qingcheng, he will be the target of Nan Qinghou no matter where he is.
At this time, no one wanted to get involved with Chu Tang.
Tao Ying could understand the reason why he didn't go back to the academy with her. It was just that he knew that he was a big trouble and didn't want to cause trouble to the academy.
Then wouldn't going to the Governor's Mansion also involve digging a hole for Shen Zuo?
"That's his responsibility!" Chu Tang said calmly, "Chu was a police officer in Gui County, and he killed Nanqinghou Crown Prince while arresting the prisoner. This matter should be under the jurisdiction of Master Shen, who is the governor!"
Tao Ying's outlook was shattered. He pointed at Chu Tang, who had a calm face, and was speechless: "You...how did you do it...as if nothing happened? Did you realize what you killed? people?"
"I know, he is the son of Nanqinghou, who is powerful and has powerful hands and feet!"
"Then you are still calm and calm? I have to escape from Qingcheng quickly!" Tao Ying seemed to be emotionally broken.
Chu Tang looked at her, smiled and said, "Dean Tao, this is the difference between you and Chu."
"Um?"
"You come from a famous family. As the dean of an academy, you have a big family and a big business. When dealing with things, you have to save the people around you first, and then consider other things. But Chu is different. You are alone, so how can you do things that are beneficial to yourself? Just do it. In fact, you can also say that Chu is selfish."
Tao Ying opened her mouth for a long time before sighing: "You are so honest and adorable!"
Chu Tang spread his hands and said, "So, is it wrong for me to hand myself over to the governor of Liangzhou?"
Tao Ying said angrily: "I don't know whether you are wrong or not, but I am sure that Shen Zuo definitely wants to tear you apart!"
Chu Tang said leisurely: "Second-grade officials are not that easy to do. Since you are in a high position, you have to bear the burden."
Tao Ying suddenly laughed and said: "Now I am sure that Shen Zuo will not be able to understand your ancestral tombs for eighteen generations."
Chu Tang glanced at Tao Ying intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "Dean Tao, actually you should not chat with Chu here now. There are many people coming and going here, and there are many people with mixed eyes. Ask Nan Qinghou about today The relationship between you and me here may involve you."
Tao Ying snorted coldly: "Want to vent your anger on me? Let's see if he is brave enough!"
Chu Tang gave a thumbs up and said: "The dean is great! But why bother involving yourself?"
Tao Ying heard something in Chu Tang's words, frowned and said, "Chu Tang, if you have something to say, just say it. What do you want me to do?"
Chu Tang said with a smile but not a smile: "At this time, Dean Tao should show his worry about being implicated, and then, in order to avoid being liquidated, he should find some helpers."
"helper?"
"For example, Mr. Tang, the dean's good friend and deputy commander of the Liangzhou Guards."
"Tang Yue? Chu Tang, you..." Tao Ying was startled and looked deeply at Chu Tang, who looked serious.
Of course she was very smart, and she immediately understood Chu Tang's intention.
Pointing at Chu Tang, Tao Ying sneered: "Chu Tang, it turns out that everything was planned by you! The governor... the governor! The guards... the commander! You really understood what I just said. ! Not only thorough, but also implemented very well!”
Chu Tang sighed: "It's just a means of self-protection."
Tao Ying snorted coldly: "Aren't you afraid that Marquis Nanqing will flip the table and kill you regardless of what he does?"
"Does he dare to rebel?" Chu Tang asked back.
Tao Yingying was speechless and said after a while: "Don't use common sense to speculate on his behavior! He is not a normal person!"
Chu Tang sighed: "If it doesn't work, then we can only do what the dean said and go to the end of the world!"
Tao Ying took a deep look at Chu Tang and said softly: "Then you can take care of yourself!"
With that said, she jumped on the horse and headed west.
Wutong Academy is in the north, and the Zhenyi Guards Station is in the west.
Seeing Tao Ying's sassy back gradually disappear, Chu Tang also chuckled, shook his head, and continued to move forward.
…
When Chu Tang walked out of Nanqinghou Mansion covered in blood, too many people saw him outside the door.
They soon realized that something had happened to the Nanqinghou Mansion!
Especially early in the morning, all kinds of screams came from the Nanqinghou Mansion, which made people even more nervous.
When the garrison soldiers left the Nanqinghou Mansion, some bold people entered the Nanqinghou Mansion and wanted to inquire about the situation.
Then, the news that Wang Haochen, the eldest son of Nanqinghou, had been killed began to spread wildly!
In less than half a day, the entire Qingcheng was shocked:
"Brother, have you heard that Wang Haochen was killed?"
"Wang Haochen? Which Wang Haochen?"
"Prince Nanqinghou!"
"What? He's dead? Killed?"
When they received the positive news, someone finally became ecstatic: "God's eyes are open! The person who was killed by God is finally dead! Whoever killed him, I will give him a longevity card!"
Suddenly, someone described everything that happened in Nanqinghou Mansion vividly, as if he had witnessed it personally.
"The one Chu Tang killed? Is he the same Chu Tang who had a decisive battle with the disciples of Luoshen Valley a while ago?"
"Yes! It's that daring catcher!"
"Does he want his life? He dares to touch Marquis Nanqing's treasure!"
"No matter what the reason for his action was! All of Qingcheng must be grateful to him! He has eliminated a lot of harm to the people of Qingcheng!"
…
The most shocking incident of Chu Tang's killing of Wang Haochen was the official figures in Qingcheng.
Being at the top, they can understand Nan Qinghou's energy better.
This is also the reason why they have not dared to take action against Wang Haochen for many years——
Nan Qinghou is not a reasonable person when it comes to his precious son!
After so many years, there are many among them who dare not be angry and dare not speak out.
Well now, someone finally took action to kill the demon Wang Haochen.
Who killed him?
Chu Tang?
Is that the madman who even dares to kill and cripple the disciples of Luoshen Valley?
That’s okay, they’re all crazy, so it’s not surprising if you think about it.
Although some people gloated about Chu Tang's actions, many also admired him. After all, not everyone dared to provoke Nan Qinghou.
Naturally, they also knew that with the death of Wang Haochen, Qingcheng was about to usher in great turmoil.
Nan Qinghou will never give up.
With this guy's force and power, he will surely cause a storm in Qingcheng.
At that time, we don’t know how many people will bleed and how many people will die.
Therefore, panicked people have begun to think about leaving Qingcheng for a while in the near future to stay away from this wave of events.
Only those who want to watch the show, want to see how things end.
By evening, new developments emerged regarding the movements of Chu Tang, who had just killed Wang Haochen:
"Did you hear that? Chu Tang personally walked into the governor's house, surrendered to the governor, and said that he had killed Nanqinghou Crown Prince and was waiting for the governor's punishment!"
"Throw yourself into a trap? Is he not only crazy, but also stupid? You don't think that the governor will enforce the law impartially, condemn Wang Haochen with him, forgive and protect him, right?"
"Who knows what he was thinking! Last I heard, the governor imprisoned him in Guanyue Tower in the mansion, waiting for further treatment!"
"Guanyue Tower? Is it so ironic? He had a duel with Xu Lingfeng upstairs a while ago and won the battle, but now he is trapped in this building and cannot be free!"
"Haha! The governor, Shen Zuo, must be on the verge of death. He must not be able to sleep tonight!"
"What we should be concerned about is not when will Nan Qinghou receive the bad news, and when will he come back to fight?"
"Soon! He will definitely return to Qingcheng in less than three days!"
"Everyone just wait to see him go on a killing spree!"
"I don't know how many people in Qing City are going to suffer again..."
As the news spread like the wind, the atmosphere in Qingcheng soon became tense.
The storm is coming!
