When Tang Chao led everyone back to the mansion, he told Sheva what happened at that time.

It turned out that once the Tang Dynasty took control of Wei Jian, they did not give him a chance to speak, but directly drank red pills into him.

By the time Wei Jian understood the power of this red pill, he could no longer spit it out. Such a dignified prime minister was controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Jian was a man who knew current affairs. He thought that since the Tang Dynasty did not kill him, it would be merciful. Naturally, he obeyed all the instructions, so he pretended that nothing happened and informed the whole family that a thief was visiting Qi Ye. Wei Mansion, everything is fine.

After Tang Chao and others returned home, they gathered in the secret room with relaxed expressions.

Zhuan Xin first praised: "Brother Tang Xian, this time it went so smoothly, thanks to you."

Sheva and others also praised one after another, and Zhuanren said: "Brother Tang Xian, when we were at the lotus pond, we accidentally triggered the alarm device. You, why do you continue to move forward?"

Tang Chao smiled slightly: "Soldiers are very fast. We were already a stone's throw away from where Wei Jian lived. It would be a pity to give up halfway, so I continued to go deeper. However, thinking about it now, we are actually quite dangerous. "

Zhuan Xin said: "Why, what danger are we in?"

Tang Chao said: "Think about it, if I knew that there was a master like Li Nanjing in Wei Jian's house, I would never dare to take the risk. After all, this is Wei Jian's home base. He is a hundred times more familiar with the environment than us, and he has mobilized It will be easy for us. Besides, when we enter the tunnel to chase Wei Jian, if we encounter a master like Li Nanjing who hides in the secret and attacks us, the possibility of our casualties or even the annihilation of the entire army is very high. This is indeed extremely dangerous. thing,"

There was a look of admiration in Sheva's eyes: "There is a question that I have never been able to figure out. Why can you tell that Wei Jian is in the tunnel beneath him?"

Tang Chao said: "This matter is very easy. Think about it, since the spies reported that Wei Jian slept in the study next to the lotus pond every night, and this information is accurate, then we came to the study so quickly, but we couldn't see it. A person's shadow can naturally be concluded that he is either not sleeping here or has just left. However, I immediately touched the quilt and found that there was still warmth in the quilt. This was enough to conclude that someone had slept just now, almost. What is certain is that Wei Jian was sleeping on this bed just now, and he just escaped immediately when he heard the alarm sound in the lotus pond,"

Zhuan Xin said: "At this time, you will think that there is a tunnel,"

"Yes, the study room is not large, and there are no connected houses around it. Since he did not escape outside, he must have escaped from the tunnel, so I immediately opened his bed to check. Sure enough, his There is a tunnel under the bed, so I risk my life to chase it.”

Sheva said in admiration: "When I rebelled before, I knew that I was defeated by you because your judgment was very accurate and you didn't make a single mistake. I didn't expect that you lived such a comfortable life in the Tang Dynasty. My brain is still as flexible as before,"

He was telling the truth. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, perhaps the current king of Nanzhao would be Lang Zhengxuan or Sheva instead of Li Gesang.

Tang Chao even waved his hands and said modestly: "The reason why I dared to chase him immediately is because I deceived Wei Jian because he didn't know martial arts and was old. I expected that although he was familiar with the terrain, he would not escape quickly. If I knew that he also had Li Nanjing I would never dare to continue chasing such a master,"

Sheva nodded slowly: "You are right, Li Nanjing is indeed a top master, and his martial arts has reached the advanced level. He sneak attacked you on the way to Shandong that time. If he hadn't respected his identity, he might have succeeded. Now, Tang Dynasty, what do you think?"

Tang Chao thought for a long time and suddenly smiled: "What my adoptive father said is possible, but I think that even if he attacked me directly at that time, the possibility of succeeding would be very small."

Sheva naturally knew that during this period, the Qing Kung Fu of the Tang Dynasty had advanced by leaps and bounds, as if with divine help, but when he thought of Li Nanjing's martial arts, he still wondered: "Why do you say that?"

Tang Chao smiled and said: "Father, you have forgotten that I am wearing rattan armor. Even if he suddenly attacks me, I will only be slightly injured at most, and my life will not be in danger."

"Oh," everyone suddenly realized and laughed. Indeed, although the Tang Dynasty's martial arts can't compete with the most powerful masters in the world, it does have the ability to protect itself. Even if it encounters a master like Li Nanjing, He was happy that he could at least withstand dozens of attacks without risking his life.

Just listen to Tang Chao say: "Everyone, do you know why Li Nanjing gave up his position as the leader of the Beggar Clan and came to the capital alone this time?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Tang Chao said: "I don't know the reason for this, but I think there must be a very important reason. A master like Li Nanjing can call the shots in South China, and his family is the only one in power. He He is a man from the world, and there is no point in wading into the troubled waters of the capital. He came to the capital, maybe he really came to assassinate me at the invitation of Wei Jian. However, I always feel that it is very strange, even if Wei Jian can hire a master like him. For a while, I couldn't keep him at home and call him like a servant to his family. But the strange thing is that this man has been living in Wei Jian's house as if he was his retainer. Why do you think this is?"

Sheva thought for a long time and said, "I'll go meet him."

Tang Chao quickly stopped him: "Absolutely not, adoptive father, this person respects his status. Once he talks without making a fuss, he will inevitably take action. You will be left alone and helpless, which is very inappropriate. Let's go down and rest first. I'll go see someone first." After seeing this person, take the opportunity to inquire about the court news, and then decide to deal with Li Nanjing."

Everyone showed their respect for him, the marshal of the Nanzhao army.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

As soon as they came out of the secret room, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin went straight to Mrs. Guo's house, because Tang Chao knew that they would definitely find Yang Guozhong, a gambler and prostitute, there.

As soon as she heard that the person who came to visit was the Tang Dynasty, which was now very popular, Mrs. Guo Guo came out in full dress, held her breasts high, and received him in the living room. As expected, Yang Guozhong was present.

The Tang Dynasty sneered in his heart, this Mrs. Guo Guo was too courageous. As a married woman, she openly left her cousin Yang Guozhong in the house and had sex in private. It was too debauched.

But this was not the time to think about these issues. He said: "Brother Yang, I know that you will be here when you are fine, so I came to you directly. It's a bit presumptuous of me, but I am anxious to ask you something." Well, you have traveled around the world and know a lot about the people in the martial arts world, right?"

Indeed, Yang Guozhong has been in the world for a long time and can be said to be a jack-of-all-trades.

Yang Guozhong showed a sophisticated smile on his face, looked at the dazzling Madam Guo Guo with seemingly resentful eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not here often. Today I'm here to thank Madam for her promotion. You What do you want to ask about? Brother Wei does know a lot about things in the world."

Tang Chao did not have time to ask what was going on and thank Mrs. Guo Guo. He only said: "It's like this. I recently met a very powerful martial arts figure on the road named Li Nanjing. He found it very difficult to deal with me. I wanted to start from him." Brother, let’s hear the details of this person,”

When Yang Guozhong heard this, a very surprised look appeared on his face: "You, my dear brother, you, you actually fought with him, and you are still alive and talking,"

This sentence may seem a bit abrupt, but people who know Li Nanjing's ability all give Tang Chao a thumbs up. Yang Guozhong naturally knows Li Nanjing's details, and without waiting for Tang Chao to speak, he said: "Li Nanjing, in South China, In the martial arts world, almost everyone knows about him. I heard that since his debut, he has fought hundreds of battles, big and small, without losing a single defeat. He has become the most life-threatening hero at that time. He has indeed helped the weak and has done a lot for the world. It's a good thing that I was hanging out in Sichuan at that time, and I was lucky enough to meet this man. He taught me some martial arts. You see, my brother's martial arts is naturally much inferior to that of people like Ma Zhengzhang, but it is not as good as ordinary martial arts masters. It’s still possible to give it a try, just because of his guidance.”

Tang Chao nodded secretly, no wonder, no wonder Yang Guozhong, a dandy, was so good at martial arts, it turned out to be like this.

Just listen to Yang Guozhong continue to say: "I heard that the reason why he became the leader of the Beggar Gang was not his original intention. He just had a chivalrous heart and wanted to rectify a gang that was messy but had great potential, so he joined the Beggar Gang. of,"

The Tang Dynasty was very surprised: "Hasn't the Beggar Gang always had the reputation of being chivalrous?"

Yang Guozhong laughed and said: "Although these gangs of beggars rob the rich and give to the poor from time to time, most of them are selfish people who rely on their martial arts skills to run illegal everywhere, sell illicit salt, and some even more It was robbery with open fire, killing people and stealing goods, and was lawless. It also colluded with the Miao and Dong people in Lingnan and other gold and silver mine owners to seize silver and monopolize coastal trade. It became so grand that the imperial court used force several times to no avail. When the imperial army arrived, These people disappeared, but once the army withdrew, these people reappeared and were banned again and again. Now the imperial court spent too much on military expenditures in Lingnan. I heard from Mrs. Guo Guo that the emperor wanted to withdraw all the imperial troops in Lingnan and let them return to Lingnan. The ethnic minorities in Lingnan are fighting for gold and silver, so forget it. Li Nanjing is a member of Prime Minister Wei Jian. He probably thinks he has controlled the beggar gang, so he came to the capital to develop."

Mrs. Guo Guo interrupted with a giggle: "Brother Yang, I didn't say that the emperor said this. I heard from sister Yang Yuhuan. She said that the emperor was very troubled by this matter, but he couldn't think of a solution to the problem. method, saying that we want to withdraw our troops is just a momentary and angry statement,"

When Tang Chao heard about Yang Yuhuan, he didn't know why, but a warm feeling suddenly arose in his heart: "Yang, is your concubine okay now?"

Mrs. Guo Guo pursed her lips and smiled, casting a wink at Tang Chao: "Why, Mr. Tang, you also care about my sister, I'm going to be jealous,"

Yang Guozhong's face darkened. In fact, Guo Guo was his forbidden love in his heart, but flirting with Tang Chao in front of him like this was originally the nature of Mrs. Guo Guo, but he finally couldn't help it: "Tang Sandi "Well, let's do this. I'm addicted to alcohol now, so why don't we go out and have a drink, and talk about things in the world,"

Mrs. Guo Guo immediately saw the expression on Yang Guozhong's face, and felt that what she just said seemed a bit wanton, so she said nonchalantly: "Okay, you men are easy to talk to, go ahead."

He didn't hold back, and there was a trace of fear in his beautiful face.

The Tang Dynasty found it very strange that Mrs. Guo Guo was so powerful, why she was afraid of a small gambler like Yang Guozhong.
