somewhere.

Several people gathered together, and there was a thick stack of information on the table. The word "Tang Yun" at the top was particularly eye-catching.

A man with a goatee and sharp features said in a hoarse voice: "I think it would be easiest to attack Li Xiao."

The woman next to her sneered and retorted: "Although Li Xiao has been with Tang Yun for a longer time, given Tang Yun's temperament, he only trained him as a subordinate and confidant. His importance is insignificant compared to Long Xingyue.

How many."

The man who had been silent all this time frowned and said, "Didn't you notice the other person?"

The woman thought for a moment and then said: "The mystery of whitewashing?"

"It's Zhao Xing."

The man was a little dissatisfied and said calmly: "Xuanmiao has been docile and docile by Tang Yun now, and it is almost impossible for him to betray Tang Yun.

Even if we take his wife and daughter hostage and force Xuan Miao to submit, Tang Yun's city will definitely detect the clues, which will be extremely disadvantageous to us.

In comparison, Zhao Xinghao has a lot to deal with. He has mediocre qualifications and average abilities, and he mostly relies on his father. If nothing happens, he will only be the master of the palace in this life. Plus he and Xuan Miao's wife... haha

.”

Goatee was a little puzzled: "But isn't our goal to develop slowly? Even if Zhao Xing is controlled by us, it won't be of much value, right?"

The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then analyzed in a deep voice: "Long Xingyue belongs to Tang Yun, and he is more aware of each other's habits. If he is not careful, he will notice it, so this person is not advisable.

The mysterious reasons have just been mentioned. As for Li Xiao, it is more difficult to deal with because he is Tang Yun's die-hard loyalist and has been with him for the longest time, so it is not advisable.

But Zhao Xing is different. Tang Yun cultivated him largely for the sake of his father's face, which means that Tang Yun's real contact with Zhao Xing was not as frequent as the others, so it was easier for him to act."

Reasonable and convincing.

The man's in-depth and simple explanations finally convinced several others, and they set their sights on Zhao Yunlu, Zhao Xing and his son.

As for Tang Yun...

Although they wanted to target Tang Yun, no one was able to directly point the finger at this guy.

Just kidding, you don’t want to live anymore, right?

Although Tang Yun is not in Longyang County now, the massacre that lasted for several months completely destroyed the Longyang martial arts world. The evil spirit still lingers in Longyang County. Who dares to show off?

Now this is Tang Yun Yitang.

Prince Tan's Mansion.

King Xi stared at Qin Yuxuan with a gloomy expression. After a long while, he suddenly closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Since you don't know how to show appreciation, let's cut the mess with a quick knife."

Qin Yuxuan bowed his head and said softly: "Replying to your lord, the banquet is the best opportunity."

King Tan nodded and agreed to the proposal: "Although the opportunity is good, it is best to make some supplements if you want to hit the snake seven inches."

"Then..." Qin Yuxuan frowned, with a look of confusion in his eyes, because among the information he learned, this was the only good opportunity. How could he add to it?

King Tan had already made a plan and said quietly: "Princess Fengyang is not young, right?"

Qin Yuxuan blinked, somewhat enlightened: "Your Majesty, do you mean to recommend Tang Yun to become the son-in-law?"

"That's right, once he loses, just let him marry the princess." King Xi sneered. This was a sinister strategy that seemed to be giving benefits, but actually put Tang Yun in a dilemma.

The word "consort" sounds very majestic, but in fact it is not that at all.

Although you can marry a princess, it also means that your wife’s natal family can’t be offended (it’s her natal family, right?). Once she becomes the consort, she will be left in the capital to hold a dispensable official position with title but no power. In general, she will just live in a free life.

Waiting to die are four words.

If it's other people, that's it. For example, those guys who want to get high but don't have the brains to resort to tricks, maybe they just want to be a princess and lick the dog.

But if this matter falls on Tang Yun...

With Tang Yun's ambition and qualifications, he is willing to be a prince-in-law who is always shorter at home, a grandson to his wife, despised when he goes out, and his future is cut off?

But the problem is that at a banquet attended by all officials of the imperial court, both civil and military, Tang Yun would be disgraced if he lost. At this time, once a reward was awarded, could Tang Yun refute it?

Assuming that Tang Yun objected and the public did not give the emperor face, he would naturally not be able to benefit from it, and at the worst, he would be blacklisted.

Maybe the emperor would forget this little thing the next day, but the people below would definitely remember it and never miss the opportunity to put on Tang Yun's shoes.

Without great opportunities, there is basically no hope of promotion in this life. Not only that, as Wang Xin, who has a close relationship with Tang Yun, will naturally be implicated.

On the other hand, if Tang Yun agrees, it will be a good thing for King Xi, which is equivalent to completely solving a hidden danger and further weakening Wang Xin's strength. If the deal continues, everyone will be evenly matched and have a chance to maneuver.

conspiracy?

This is a conspiracy.

In terms of status, King Tan is indeed higher than Tang Yun. It is not difficult for him to do these things. With just a few clicks of his fingers, he can put Tang Yun into a desperate situation. After all, Ya is just a member of the Zhenwu Pavilion who is outside the capital.

But there is no foundation.

When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves. To put it bluntly, this is the truth.

The higher your status, the more people will pay attention to you. There are many people with evil intentions who want to drag you down. This cannot be avoided if you want to avoid it.

Unless... give up.

——

several days.

Tang Yun changed into casual clothes and went shopping with Tang Yanyue.

Now that it is the New Year's Eve, the capital is much busier than before. There are more than 1,270 streets in such a large city, each of which is more than three feet wide. Even so, the streets are still crowded with people.

Tang Yun sat bored at a stall, slowly drinking glutinous rice balls, while Tang Yanyue was choosing things in the store at the back. It was common sense for women to go shopping and buy less, and he had long been used to it.

Suddenly, a chuckle came from the side: "Mr. Tang is very elegant. It is very pleasant to travel with beautiful women."

Tang Yun glanced sideways at the person who came by, and replied in a neutral tone: "Compared to me, I am even more surprised that Your Excellency condescended to travel without taking a carriage or horse."

The man clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Within the capital, carriages and horses are not allowed except on certain roads. This is stipulated by law. Why would you ask this question?"

Tang Yun seemed suddenly enlightened and replied: "Really? I came from the countryside and have no experience, but I made your Excellency laugh."

"Don't regret it?" King Tan also ordered a bowl of glutinous rice balls and sat across from him.

Tang Yun asked: "Why do you regret it?"

"Look back." King Tan raised his chin and motioned for him to look into the back of the store.

Tang Yun shook his head, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. With a flick of his finger, the chopsticks were accurately nailed into the table, piercing the back of King Tao's hand.

"You..." King Xi was shocked and angry. He never expected that Tang Yun had clearly planned to take action in the past, but this time he was so tough.

The strength of King Xi is not as good as Wang Xin. In their family, Wang Xin is actually the orthodox one. He is much stronger than the guy in front of him in every aspect. However, he was later kicked out after being tricked by the other party.

Beijing.

Although Wang Xin has not made any progress for so many years, King Xin is not much better. He is busy scheming and scheming with each other in this peaceful place in the capital every day. How can he have the time to practice?

His strength is still lingering in the tenth-level blood coagulation realm. To be fair, in the hinterland of the imperial court like the capital, the tenth-level strength is enough to protect himself. Anyway, if something goes wrong, it won't be his turn.

But...it depends on who the enemy is.

In Tang Yun's eyes, his strength was no different from that of an ant. Just releasing a hint of pressure was enough to immobilize King Tan.

Tang Yun sucked his chopsticks, slapped King Tan on the cheek, and said slowly: "You were able to defeat Wang Xin in the first place, but you were taking advantage of others' danger.

In fact, in terms of strength, means and even all aspects, you are far behind Wang Xin. If he were in your position, he would definitely not resort to such stupid tricks.

There have been rumors spreading all over the capital recently, are you the one who spread them, right? Prince-in-law, princess, bride-in-law... this kind of means can't even be called despicable?

Tsk tsk, no wonder you haven’t made any progress after sitting in this position for so many years. You are so brainless. Not only do you have no brains, you are also blind.”

The severe pain caused sweat to form on his temples. King Tan's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and growled: "Don't you dare kill me."

Tang Yun's eyes fell on the table, and his true energy condensed, and he cut off one of his fingers: "Let her go, you can live. Otherwise, you can try, I dare to kill you."

"Hiss..." King Ji Ji Lingling shivered, but he also had a hard temper. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the miserable howl, staring at Tang Yun: "You don't dare..."

Pfft...

second finger.

Tang Yun grabbed a finger, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and said, "Do you know what princes and relatives are? They are rice bugs raised by the imperial court."

"you……"

"Don't interrupt." Tang Yun glanced at him. Although his gaze was calm, it made King Xi shudder and he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Tang Yun said faintly: "It has been passed down year by year, and the number of princes who have been granted the title of Prince is not less than a few thousand, and those who are related to the royal family, counting on your fingers, are definitely not less than a hundred thousand.

Do you know why princes, emperors, relatives, especially you guys who have inherited titles, are related by relatives, and have no strength of your own, are ordered not to leave the capital?"

"..." King Tan was stunned.

Tang Yun threw his finger to him and shook his head with a smile: "Because if you go out, you will die. If you don't have the strength, you will be like a pig if you go out.

There are a lot of daring people these days. If you are caught and blackmail the court, not only will the court have to waste time and effort to save people, but it will also lose face. This kind of thing has both disadvantages and no benefits.
