Chapter 172

Hearing Tang Yin say that he wanted to find someone for help, the three Shangguan brothers, Lu Fang, Cheng Jin and others were all startled, and asked in unison: "Who are you looking for, sir?"

Tang Yin smiled and said: "Who did we get the news about Zhong Tian's rebellion first?"

"Deng Mingyang?"

"Yes, the latest chapter!" Tang Yin said quietly: "Deng Mingyang is my old subordinate. Since he is willing to inform me as soon as possible, it means that he is also opposed to Zhong Tian's rebellion. I will go to the meeting tonight. If we know him well, I think he can help us!"

"Sir, he won't..." Cheng Jin has always been suspicious, and he has never met Deng Mingyang, so he is very worried about him.

"It's okay, don't worry." Tang Yin understood what he meant and shook his head with a smile.

That night, Tang Yin went to find Deng Mingyang, because he was not going to fight, nor was he trying to force Deng Mingyang to submit. Tang Yin did not intend to take anyone there, but Shangguan Yuanrang kept asking to go with him. After thinking about it, Tang Yin decided to take him with him. Brought it.

Both of them put on linen clothes and trousers commonly worn by ordinary people. Tang Yin also specially wore a straw hat, covering most of his face. After all, he had served as a regiment commander in Yancheng before, and many people knew him. He didn't want to The news of arriving in Yancheng reached Zhong Tian.

After leaving Yue Zijie's house, the two went straight to Deng Mingyang's residence.

Deng Mingyang used to be a captain under Tang Yin's command, and Tang Yin was still very familiar with his home address.

For fear of causing trouble, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang did not wander around Yancheng and went straight to Deng Mingyang's mansion.

Deng Mingyang's family background is pretty good. He has an independent courtyard in Yancheng. Although it is not big, it has a main house and a wing.

After arriving at the door of his house, Tang Yin stood aside and motioned to Shangguan Yuanrang to knock on the door. The latter responded, walked to the door, and took several shots in succession, but there was no movement inside. Shangguan Yuanrang frowned and continued to beat the door. Several times, after waiting for a long time, the sound of footsteps was heard from inside the door. Then, the door slowly opened a gap, and half of the face was revealed from inside.

The person who opened the door was a young man wearing gray cloth. Judging from his appearance, he looked like a servant in Deng Mingyang's family. The young man had a timid look on his face. Seeing that there were only two people outside, he was obviously relieved. He looked up at Shangguan Yuanrang who knocked on the door. He felt that he was unfamiliar and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?" "

Shangguan Yuanrang said bluntly: "I'm looking for Deng Qianjun!"

The young man's frown deepened and he said impatiently: "I'm sorry, my master is not here right now." After saying that, he took a step back and pretended to close the door. At this time, Tang Yin stretched out his hand and held the door, then raised the straw hat on his head and asked with a smile: "A Wu, is your master so busy? He's not home so late."

When the young man heard this, the look of impatience on his face became thicker, and he said angrily: "It's none of your business whether my master is busy or not..." As he spoke, he looked towards Tang Yin. When he saw Tang Yin's appearance clearly, his whole body changed. I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything else.

When Tang Yin saw this, his smile deepened and he asked, "What? You haven't seen me for only a year, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

"Tang...General Tang?" The young man woke up from the shock and couldn't believe his eyes. Tang Yin had returned to Yancheng. Tang Yin, who openly resisted Zhong Tian, ​​dared to return to Yancheng. This was incredible.

"Is Deng Qianjun at home?"

"At...at home!"

"Then can I go in?"

"Okay, okay..." The young man seemed to be under a spell. He looked straight at Tang Yin, nodded blankly, then mechanically stepped aside and opened the door. Tang Yin shook his head to Shangguan Yuanrang and strode into the courtyard.

After Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang came closer, the young man trembled and suddenly reacted. Then he quickly closed and locked the door, turned around and ran into the main room. You don't need to guess to know that he must have tipped off Deng Mingyang. Sure enough, not long after the young man entered the main room, Deng Mingyang jumped out from inside.

When he saw Tang Yin standing in the courtyard, he was surprised and happy, and at the same time felt sad in his heart. He rushed forward. When he got in front of Tang Yin, his eyes were red, he knelt down on one knee, and said with a trembling voice: "Belong to Tang Yin." Exit...Deng Mingyang, pay homage to the general!"

Tang Yin stretched out his hand to help him up and looked at Deng Mingyang up and down. He felt that he was much more haggard than when he left. He thought that his life was not easy during the time when Zhong Tian usurped the throne. He said: "Deng Qianjun doesn't need to be polite. Besides, you are no longer my subordinate!"

After hearing this, Deng Mingyang almost shed tears. If he had known this day, he should have followed Tang Yin to Pingyuan County.

As Tang Yin expected, Deng Mingyang was indeed not having an easy time during these days. After Tang Yin resigned as the commander of the Second Corps, he continued to stay in the Corps as the commander of thousands. After Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the Second Corps, which valued the dancer most, certainly would not let go and removed the original commander of the Corps. The commander-in-chief was also extremely suppressive. Anyone who complained at all would immediately be killed. These days, Deng Mingyang saw too many of his colleagues die at the hands of Zhong Tian. He didn't want to eat or drink. He couldn't sleep well, for fear that Zhong Tian's sword would hit his head.

When he saw Tang Yin at this time, his heart surged, he had mixed feelings, and he regretted endlessly. He took a deep breath, raised his hands and said, "My subordinates used to be the general's subordinates, and they are still the general's subordinates now!"

Tang Yin smiled, raised his head towards the main room, and said, "Let's go in and talk!"

Deng Mingyang slapped his head hard, turned sideways quickly, stretched out his hand and said: "Please, please, please! General, please come inside." As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Yuanrang who came with Tang Yin. Deng Mingyang didn't recognize him. , looked up and down, and asked suspiciously: "General, this is..."

"One of our own!"

Tang Yin simply replied without saying much. However, his words about being one of his own made Deng Mingyang very happy. If Tang Yin could say this, he undoubtedly regarded himself as one of his own.

After entering the main room, Deng Mingyang asked Tang Yin to take the seat, and then called the servants to serve tea quickly. Seeing this, Tang Yin waved his hands with a smile and said, "Mingyang, there's no need to be so polite!"

"It should be." Deng Mingyang sat aside politely and nodded.

Tang Yin looked at him deeply and said, "Do you know the purpose of my return to Yancheng this time?"

Deng Mingyang took a breath, rolled his eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Is your Excellency here to save people?"

"That's right!" Tang Yin said, "I want to rescue all the people from the Liang family, the Wu family, and the Ziyang family."

"This..." Deng Mingyang's face changed slightly. He guessed that Tang Yin was here to save people, but he only thought that he was here to save Wu Mei. He didn't expect that he would save so many people.

Tang Yin said: "These three families control 200,000 troops. I must bring them to my side. Otherwise, with my current strength, it will be difficult to compete with Zhong Tian. Mingyang, I hope you Can you help me?"

Cold sweat broke out on Deng Mingyang's head. It was not easy to rescue all the three families. Liang, Wu, and Ziyang were all powerful and well-known families with too many families. The three families together would have to approach thousands of people. , how can we save so many people? Moreover, they are currently being held in the Bell Mansion, guarded by fifteen regiments, which is a total of ten thousand troops.

Seeing Deng Mingyang's troubled expression, Tang Yin squinted his eyes and asked lightly, "What? Mingyang, you don't want to help me?"

"No, no, no!" Deng Mingyang shook his head hurriedly and said: "What the general asks his subordinates to do, they will definitely do it. If the general asks me to help, I will definitely help. However, Liang, Wu, Zi There are too many family members of the Yang San family, almost a thousand people, and there is also a regiment of soldiers guarding them. If the general wants to rescue them, he will definitely have to scare the snake away. Even if he can get out of the Zhong Mansion, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of Yancheng."

Tang Yin didn't expect that there could be so many people from the three families together. After listening to Deng Mingyang's words, he frowned. Even if there was a tunnel that could lead to the outside of the city, there would still be so many people among them, including the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. , even if you leave the city from the tunnel, it may be difficult to escape Zhong Tian's pursuit.

Therefore, if you want to save people, you must not alert the enemy. You must do it secretly. But is it possible to rescue thousands of people without anyone noticing in the tightly guarded Zhong Mansion? At this time, Tang Yin was a little unsure. After a long silence, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Who is the commander of the 15th Corps?"

"Zhong Sang." Deng Mingyang replied: "He is Zhong Tian's nephew."

"Is it very powerful?" Tang Yin asked casually.

"Although his cultivation level has only reached the spiritual realm, he is quite smart and cunning, and is not easy to deal with." Deng Mingyang answered cautiously, and after a moment of pause, he added: "But this person is very lustful, and he is very fond of the eldest dancer and the second daughter. The young lady is salivating. If Zhong Tian hadn't been pressing down on her, he might have taken action long ago..."

Tang Yin's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "How is your relationship with him?"

Deng Mingyang shook his head and said: "We have only met a few times, and there is no friendship." Zhong Sang would not take a commander with no background like him seriously. Even if he wanted to establish friendship, they might not pay attention to him. he.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Since he is a lecherous person, it is not difficult to ask him out. All you need to do is seduce him with his beauty."

"Beauty?" Deng Mingyang's eyes widened. He didn't understand why Tang Yin wanted to ask Zhong Sang out. If a secret killer was to get rid of him, he would have already alerted the snake before saving anyone.

Tang Yin raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, smiling evilly, and asked, "Can you please come out and sit with me, Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

flutter! Deng Mingyang almost choked on his own saliva. Of course he knew that Tang Yin was not lustful. When he suddenly mentioned his wife, was he asking her to seduce Zhong Sang? With a dry smile on his face, he said: "General, this... this is..."

His guess was correct, Tang Yin did have this intention.

He had heard that Deng Mingyang's wife was very beautiful before, but he had never seen her before. Now he wanted to see if she was as beautiful as the rumors. If so, he could take advantage of her.

He laughed and said, "Mingyang, don't worry, I won't let your wife suffer."

"But..." Deng Mingyang had been vaguely aware of Tang Yin's intention. No matter what, as a man, no one would feel comfortable if his wife was allowed to seduce another man.
