Text Chapter 1721 Being Forced Into a Corner
At the same time, in the forbidden garden of Tianweng's mansion, Wei Shu also walked with Xiahou Tuo and talked about the matter.
Qingzhu holding a banquet in the Li Palace to celebrate his birthday is just an honor and reputation. After all, not everyone can enter the Li Palace. The real place with the most guests is the Xiahou family. For a family as big as the Xiahou family, even if they are relatives and friends on the surface, It can be imagined that Xiahou Tuo, as the birthday boy, has really dealt with it for a few days. Now he has gradually become more relaxed, and he no longer needs to show up for some finishing matters.
"Don't you suspect that there is a mysterious black hand behind Niu Youde? Could it be that person?" asked Wei Shu, who was accompanying him.
Xiahou Tuo narrowed his eyes and thought slowly and said: "There are signs to follow in a person's acting style, and it will not suddenly change so much that it is completely different. The hidden black hand is good at taking advantage of the situation from a higher vision and angle. It seems that people with a small layout and a small vision cannot do this without getting involved in the small details. That’s why I wondered if it was someone from the top of the Heavenly Court. This incident seemed intense and risky, and it was simply a vigorous and upright force. It is completely different from the invisible style of hiding the black-handed elephant, so I can conclude that it is not the same person, but more like Niu Youde's usual style. Another point is that various emergencies in the palace are obvious, and it is difficult to play like this. It is difficult to set a pre-plan for risky actions. At most, it is a preset general direction. Only Niu Youde can cope with it by adapting to the situation. If someone has poor adaptability and psychological quality, in that situation, once the words are slightly If you hesitate, you will be fiercely attacked by those ministers who will press you step by step until you are crushed. All things considered, it does seem to be Niu Youde's independent behavior, but the cleverness of this method makes it hard for me to believe that it is from Niu Youde. This matter may seem grand, but it must have gone through careful planning. He may have jumped out in the imperial garden to scold Ying Jiuguang for selling his daughter for glory. I think he is more like a combination of quick wit and reckless impulsiveness. No matter how you look at it, For someone who has been able to plan my birthday banquet in detail since two years ago, is there really a new figure in the Six Paths that we don’t know about? "
Wei Shu nodded: "If it is really Niu Youde's personal behavior, then this Niu Youde will really make people look at him with admiration."
Xiahou Tuo chuckled, "Whether it's Niu Youde's independent behavior or someone behind the scenes giving advice to Niu Youde, in short, they are all on Niu Youde's side. This can be attributed to the fact that Niu Youde is not simple. I am now I really want to know how he recruited those 100,000 elites. The position of the four princes is almost equal to that of two Xingjun. Even the Qing Lord is moved, how can those four families just sit back and stick to the rules? "
Wei Shu pondered deeply and said: "Everyone knows now that the gambling situation is not good for Qing Zhu, and given Qing Zhu's face-hungry temper, Niu Youde's life may not be as valuable as Qing Zhu's face. Niu Youde probably will Life is in danger.”
Xiahou Tuo nodded slightly.
"Ruyi, let's go home."
On the high pavilion in the Royal Garden Zhanpinghou Villa, Zhan Ruyi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked in the direction of Luyang Garden from a distance, silently and calmly. Ying Luohuan, who was on the high pavilion, walked gently behind his daughter and gave a reminder. Qingzhu didn't say anything to Zhan Ruyi, but Tianmu Palace came over and said that the birthday banquet was over, which was to urge him to leave.
Tianyuan Star, Fu Qing, who stood on a tall building at the city guard palace and leaned on the railing to look out into the distance, was silent for a long time. Standing for a whole day.
In a manor hidden deep in the mountains and old forests, in the inner courtyard, Xu Tangran walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression gloomy, in sharp contrast to the blooming flowers around him.
Two enchanting women walked out of the moon gate. When they saw Xu Tangran walking back and forth, he seemed to be in a bad mood. They both came quickly to comfort him. One of them hugged Xu Tangran and rubbed his arm on his chest. The other said coquettishly: "Uncle, I'm not in a good mood." Okay? I will accompany you to relieve your boredom..."
"Go to hell!" Xu Tangran said angrily, giving him a slap on the left and right. With two screams, two figures flew out from left to right. One hit the wall and fell to the point where his brains exploded, and the other crashed into the flower bed and fell to a bloody pulp. How could two mortal women withstand his attacks?
A figure flashed from outside. Huang Xiaotian was startled by the screams here. Seeing the two beauties who had been so close to Xu Tangran just yesterday, died tragically in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but be stunned. These were the ones he specially collected to serve Xu Tangran. , I didn’t expect that the game would end like this.
Looking at Xu Tangran walking back and forth anxiously. Huang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Xu Tangran, who was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, stopped and asked, "Is there any follow-up news about what happened in the Li Palace in Heaven?" Here he also heard about Miao Yi's deeds in the Li Palace.
This is already the fourth time. Huang Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "That's it for now. This is the only news coming from outside. There is no new news for the time being."
So Xu Tangran continued to walk back and forth anxiously. He and Yang Zhaoqing had different ideas. He was a little bit anxious. He didn't expect that Miao Yi would go to Tiangong to cause such a big thing. He didn't expect that Miao Yi had already gone into battle shirtless in order to recruit people. Well, he thinks this must be because he has no confidence in Xu Tangran to recruit people. He simply has no hope in Xu Tangran!
Smelling the smell of blood gradually emanating from the air, "Ouch..." Suddenly he heard a tiger roar from far away in the mountains. Xu Tangran stopped again, turned his head to look at the place where the tiger roar came from, and waved his finger, "Go." "Bring me that tiger and send it to the dungeon. It'll be alive and kicking. If it dies, I'll kill you." Then he threw up his sleeves and left.
"..." Huang Xiaotian was speechless. He didn't know why this lunatic was so crazy, but he had no choice but to get out of the way.
The manor is built on the mountain. There is a tunnel inside that leads to the mountainside behind the manor. Night pearls emitting soft light are inlaid on the stone walls. There is a privately built prison deep in the mountainside. Prisons on both sides are divided into compartments. There are dozens of people, old, weak, women and children, either three to five people in a room, or five or six people in a room. On the torture rack outside the cage, a man was tied up in a 'big' shape, with his hair hanging down and his head lowered. He was bloody and miserable after being tortured, which showed that he had been tortured for a long time.
Xu Tangran strode forward, and soft sobs came from the cages on both sides from time to time. Xu Tangran ignored it, walked to the torture rack, grabbed the big man's messy hair and pulled his head, "Xu, I will give you one last chance. Where is your alliance leader’s son hiding?”
The big man opened his blood-stained mouth and said out of breath: "I have told you countless times that our leader has never liked women. He has not married yet, so how can he have a son."
Xu Tangran grabbed his hair and pushed him. "Stop talking nonsense to me. How can I find you when I disappear? As far as I know, it was you who arranged and hid the wife and son that Chu Antian secretly married. Where are they hiding?"
The big man just said, "No need to waste your efforts. Kill or behead them as you please."
Xu Tangran waved his hand and pointed at the old, weak, women and children in the cages on the left and right, "Is it worth putting the whole family on your back for a bullshit alliance leader?"
The big man looked sideways. Haha smiled and said: "You don't have to do this with me. I told them they are just afraid of dying faster."
"Hey!" Xu Tangran let go of him, laughed angrily, clapped his hands, gave a thumbs up and praised: "I admire you the most for someone who protects the Lord loyally, you have the guts! I also like to follow him the most People like you like to weigh tough things the most!" After saying that, he walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking clearly very angry.
Not long after, Huang Xiaotian came and waved his hand as he came closer. A large, muscular and colorful tiger was thrown out of the animal pouch. It was really lively and bouncing as Xu Tangran said. As soon as it was thrown out, it immediately became full of animal nature and rushed towards Xu Tangran.
Xu Tangran fished it out, grabbed it by the neck like a kitten, and dragged it on the spot. The sharp claws of the tiger's limbs made scratches on the ground during the resistance.
Arriving at the door of a cage, Xu Tangran waved his hand, "Open the door!"
Huang Xiaotian opened the cell door with a twitching expression, and the women in the cell were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried together. The big man tied to the torture rack struggled against the chains and roared angrily: "What do you want to do?"
What to do? Xu Tangran directly threw the beautiful tiger into the cage and closed the cell door.
"Aww..." The tiger that fell into the cage looked up to the sky and roared, and began to lower itself to face the women. Immediately, a fishy wind rushed into the crowd. The scene was so bloody and cruel that it was impossible to look directly at it. The screams of several women for help echoed in the underground space.
"Stop! Stop..." The man who was tied to the torture rack shouted almost crying.
Soon, the women in the cage became silent and blood flowed all over the floor. Xu Tangran pushed open the cell door. With five fingers, he directly dragged the gnawing tiger out, dragged it to the door of the next cage, and shouted: "Open the door!"
Although Huang Xiaotian is a lion spirit, he has been incarnate for many years and has long been accustomed to human thinking. Seeing such a live interrogation scene, he also shuddered. He looked at Xu Tangran like a monster, as if Xu Tangran was a goblin and he was a human. However, he still obeyed and opened the cell door.
"Dad! Save me..." The child, who was held in the arms of an old man, screamed in fear when he saw the tiger approaching.
As soon as the tiger in Xu Tangran's hand was thrown into the cage, the man tied to the rack screamed: "Stop! I said! Beast, stop, I said..."
Just when the tiger was about to show off its cruelty, Xu Tangran pulled the tiger out again with five fingers. There were screams from the cages on both sides. Some of the people inside were so scared that they peed, some were too scared to look directly, and some even fainted from fear.
The colorful tiger was thrown to Huang Xiaotian. Xu Tangran strode to the execution rack, gently brushed away the big man's messy hair, and sighed, "It would have been over if I had said no. What's the point? Everyone is out to fool around. Easy. In fact, I really don’t want to do this. I also admire your loyalty. However, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides. I have to let you choose one. You forced me to do so. "
The big man almost burst into tears and said, "I told you, can you let them go?"
Xu Tangran said shamelessly and frankly: "If you had said it from the beginning, I would have let them go, and I would have let you go too. You and I will definitely be able to get along happily in the future, but now I have it on my hands." Bloody, let them go, I'm afraid they will retaliate against me in the future. After all, they were harmed by you, are you ashamed? You should give them a good death. Of course, I am not an unkind person, at least I can give it to you. What do you think, let them sleep forever without any pain?" He took out a small jade bottle and waved it in front of the big man, letting him make a choice. In short, he would not give him a way to live.
The big man shook his head sadly and angrily, "Who are you?"
Xu Tangran: "Don't go too far. You have been playing with me for so long, and my patience has been exhausted by you." After that, he turned around and went to catch the tiger again.
"I said..." The big man cried sadly, lowered his head, and almost collapsed. (~^~)
