Chapter 15
The wounded patient started to have a high fever that afternoon, and his pale, angry face seemed to kill him at any moment, and Tang Tan also found that Gu Zhongyan seemed to be hesitant to stay and wait for this person to be fine before leaving. Or just continue their journey as if they didn't meet this person.
The identity of this person may not be simple, right?Tang Tan took a few glances at the man, and looked back and forth on the man's face several times.
"Zhong Yan, do we have to wait for him to recover before we go on the road?" For some reason, he felt that this strange man looked familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him before.
"...No, Master Hou's medicine is more important. It is enough to have a doctor here." Gu Zhongyan hardly thought about it, and immediately rejected his proposal, which made him choke.
He thought that this man would make Gu Zhongyan pay so much attention to him, maybe it was very important to Gu Zhongyan, but... well, he felt a lot better because of this.
"However, even if this person survives, what if the accomplices of the men in black come again?" Thinking of this possibility, Tang Tan was still a little apprehensive.
Gu Zhongyan was silent for a while, then walked to the door and called.
"Wei Jiu, Wei Shi."
As soon as the ending sound fell, two people in black night clothes suddenly appeared and knelt in front of them, which shocked Tang Tan.
Aww, he almost forgot that there were these hidden guards beside them... Thinking about it, Tang Tan frowned, because in the past, only Wei Yi to Wei Ba would put it on the bright side, and everyone else thought they were just ordinary Guards, without knowing that they are specially trained.He was familiar with only a few of them.
He really didn't know how to order this private guard that was supposed to belong to him. He didn't even know the operation or the number of people. Thinking about it, it was a failure.
But he was even more glad that he didn't do something he shouldn't do with Gu Zhongyan these days because there was no one around. If someone saw him kissing and having sex with Gu Zhongyan...he would probably feel like dying.
"You stay and protect until his subordinates arrive." Gu Zhongyan ordered concisely.
After the two agreed without any problem and disappeared, Tang Tan poked his arm curiously, making him look down at him.
"how?"
"I almost forgot that there are hidden guards around us. Speaking of which, how many are there?"
"...It was my negligence. I didn't hand them over to you. There are 30 people on mission, and there is a mountain camp in Yizhou to train them."
Probably because he subconsciously didn't want Tang Tan to get in touch, not because he was worried that the original power in his hands would be taken back, but because he wanted his young master to be carefree and not worry about those trivial, even dark things. part.
Although the Changshenghou clan emphasizes cleanliness, fairness, and fairness in the business, and will not take the initiative to do some dirty things, it doesn't mean that no one will come to make trouble.As long as someone takes action, they will fight back, and the counterattack is definitely deep-rooted, so that the other party can no longer trouble them, and naturally some methods are inevitable.
Gu Zhongyan knew that Tang Tan would know sooner or later, but there were some difficulties in his heart.He hoped that Tang Tan would always be clean, and that it was enough for him to bear the filthy and shameful things.
"It doesn't matter if you don't need to give it to me. Just leave it to Xiaoyao in the future. He will be the master of the Marquis of Changsheng in the future. If you tell me these things, I probably won't be able to get them." Tang Tan patted his big palm indifferently and said, It is very relaxed and happy to push all these responsibilities onto the younger brother.
"It's just... well, pay attention to when there are people around you in the future, I don't want to be alone with you and be peeped when I do some intimate things."
Hearing this, Gu Zhongyan was taken aback for a moment, then kissed Tang Tan's forehead with a low smile.
He really likes his young master's personality who is so light and indifferent as if he doesn't care at all, but who can think more clearly than anyone else. From the beginning, he has never cared about these powers, so he will not feel lost when he loses them.
"Sometimes... I feel like you don't care about anything, as if you will disappear at any moment." Gu Zhongyan couldn't help whispering, feeling a little emotional.
Tang Tan, who didn't expect Gu Zhongyan to have such an idea, looked at him in surprise, and he found that he felt dispensable and had no sense of belonging to this place.
That's right, although he has spent more than three years here, after all, he is an adult who has received modern education and knowledge dissemination for 26 years, and he doesn't think this is his hometown from the bottom of his heart.
Although he also knows very well that according to the circumstances of his car accident, he even fell off the cliff with his car. It is definitely not like those cats with nine lives in TV dramas who can’t die anyway. The heroes and heroines on TV wake up to find that they have just been in a coma.
"Who said that the person I care about is you?" Tang Tan held the other's cheeks with both hands, with a warm and faint smile on his face, but his eyes were quite serious.
He didn't just comfort the other party, but thought about it very seriously.
He had lost all his cherished family members at that time, parents, sisters, lovers, and it was terribly lonely for him.Even if Gu Zhongyan is not his Yin, but at the very least... at least there is the same face that he can look at and cherish, he will smile and kiss him, hug him, and pamper him, but there... there is nothing.
He knew that it was because he was too persistent, even to the point of being paranoid, but he couldn't let it go, as if if he let go of such a little persistence, then everything in the past, those memories of Tang Tan in the 21st century, and the existence of Meng Chaoyin would be erased. Lose.
He doesn't want to forget, so he doesn't want to leave.
Gu Zhongyan caught the momentary trance on his face, knowing that he thought of the man who was exactly like him again, he didn't say much, just hugged him tightly in his arms.
※※※
The medicinal materials they need are in the hands of Yan Teng, the master of Dali Huanyumen.Yan Tengzhi’s comments are mixed. The good thing is that he became the leader of the martial arts 30 years ago as a young hero, and he has done a lot of great things for the martial arts. Most of the comments on Yan Tengzhi are that he is extremely fair and just. .
The bad comment is that 20 years ago, when Yan Tengzhi suddenly and resolutely resigned from the position of martial arts leader, he actually divorced his wife and drove away his wife who had been married for more than ten years. Goodbye, the child who was once loved is also handed over to the deputy head to raise, this closed for 20 years.
No one knows what happened back then to make Yan Tengzhi abandon his family. Some people said it was because his wife Hongxing cheated on other men, and some people said it was because this marriage was plotted against.
There were all kinds of rumors, but Yan Tengzhi ignored them. If it weren't for the begging of the deputy head of Huanyu, he would even give up the position of head to the deputy head.
But even so, Yan Tengzhi still has a lot of influence and lofty status in the Jianghu. It is said that the medicinal material in his hand has been asked for many times, but even Yan Tengzhi has never been seen, let alone Yan Tengzhi didn't care about that either.
"Hmm... so this Yan sect master will be willing to meet and trade with us?"
It sounds like a somewhat troublesome elder... Tang Tan thought troubledly while looking at the grand gate that could be seen from a distance, feeling somewhat suspicious and hesitant in his heart.
In case someone refuses to even meet them, talk about whether they are willing to give up the medicinal material to them.
"...don't worry, he will meet you." Gu Zhongyan pointedly said, but did not explain further.
Soon they arrived at the gate of Huanyu Gate, where six soldiers were guarding the gate. They kept their eyes fixed until their horses stopped in front of the gate, and then looked at the two of them with a little curiosity.
"My lord, Gu Zhongyan, the head of the Marquis of Changsheng, I want to see the head of your sect, Yan. This is an invitation." Gu Zhongyan jumped off the horse neatly, took out the famous card and handed it to the Huanyumen with both hands. disciple.
Originally, those disciples looked down upon the two of them with their plain clothes and dusty appearance, although their appearance and temperament were excellent, but when they heard the other party's name, they all had a look on their faces.
The special significance of the Marquis of Changsheng to the Great Song Dynasty is known even to their Huanyumen, which is located in Dali Kingdom, especially the Chief of the Marquis of Changsheng's Mansion, who can be said to be a very famous figure now.
Gu Zhongyan is actually quite a low-key person. His reputation comes from the fact that he managed the Marquis of Changsheng so well. He must be a first-class master who stands under the sun outside the rivers and lakes, but he is willing to listen to him.
Ye Yuntao, a young chivalrous man who was once hailed as the next leader of the martial arts alliance, also said personally that his martial arts are not as good as Gu Zhongyan, and he declined the pleas from various families to praise him as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and pushed Gu Zhongyan to on the wave.
For a long time, some martial idiots came forward to trouble him one after another, but the strange thing was that they were often subdued within three moves. If they continued to entangle, they would be completely crippled by Gu Zhongyan.
For these martial idiots, crippling their kung fu is more painful than killing them. After such a back and forth, especially when the former sword master was also defeated by him, his kung fu was touted to a very high level. The number of people who have troubled him over the years has become very small.
Where did Gu Zhongyan come from, but no one can find out, especially since he is so powerful and submissive to the Marquis of Changsheng, which makes the Marquis of Changsheng's mansion more mysterious in many people's minds.
At this moment, this young but well-known Gu Ye came to their Huanyu Gate to visit their head, what is the matter?
"That... Gu Shaoxia, our sect master has been in closed doors for many years and we have not seen any visitors. I am afraid we will not be able to meet you." The disciple looked at Gu Zhongyan, then at the young man who was slowly getting off his horse behind him, and thought about it After using words for a long time, they politely refused and returned their invitations with a look of embarrassment.
The whole martial arts world knows that their sect masters have been in seclusion for many years and have not seen outsiders. It is impossible for this ancient master to be so ill-informed. Why did he come to give them problems?
"I know, but please tell me that I am here to discuss something on behalf of his junior brother, Mr. Hu, and that will be fine." Gu Zhongyan still asked gently and politely, causing everyone to look at each other in confusion.
Junior brother?Isn't the junior brother who is in charge of his old man's house Elder Chi?When did such a Mr. Hu appear?
But seeing the seriousness on the other side's face, without the slightest hint of a joke, the disciple hesitated and thought it would be better to ask their deputy head first, lest the other party really let their door master come out to meet him, and casually offend Changshenghoufu Zhen It's not a good thing.
The disciple turned his head and whispered to the others, told Gu Zhongyan and the others to go in and report, then hurried in, and came back in a hurry with a strange look on his face after about a quarter of an hour.
"Gu Shaoxia, our deputy head invites you to come in first." The disciple looked at Gu Zhongyan with a suspicious expression, feeling very inconceivable.
At the beginning, when the deputy sect master heard that the head of the Marquis of Changsheng visited the sect master, he just frowned and asked him to decline. He didn't believe that Gu Zhongyan would be so ignorant, but when he talked about Mr. Hu, the deputy sect master and the third The expressions of the two elders changed, and they looked at each other in surprise, then Elder Chi hurriedly said to find the head, and the deputy head asked him to invite Gu Zhongyan and the others to come in.
Could it be that the head of the sect really has a junior brother surnamed Hu?
Gu Zhongyan nodded and thanked the other party, and after handing over the horse to other disciples to take care of it temporarily, he and Tang Tan followed the other party into the door.The other party looked back at them curiously from time to time. Gu Zhongyan kept his eyes fixed and calm, while Tang Tan looked curiously at the environment and landscape of the Huanyu Gate, which was a brilliant artifact completely different from the Changshenghou Mansion. But not overly luxurious.
Because it is built against the mountain, they have to pass a long mountain ladder called the hero slope. On both sides of the mountain ladder, there are bifurcated trails and scattered buildings in the forest.After passing the long ladder, one can see a wide platform. Many disciples are practicing martial arts on both sides of the platform. The center is paved with stone slabs until the main building hall in front, which looks very grand.
Tang Tan couldn't take his eyes off the bronze armillary sphere standing in the center of the square. Under the armillary sphere, there was a water mechanism driving the armillary sphere. Because it was running slowly, its operation was basically invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing a visitor, some disciples inevitably looked over curiously, but were reprimanded for being distracted.
"Report to the deputy sect master, the person has been brought."
After following the disciple guarding the gate into the hall, Tang Tan and Gu Zhongyan saw three middle-aged men sitting in the main hall, and a dignified middle-aged man standing in the center. After hearing the disciple's report, He gave a faint "hmm", and then let the disciple back down, his eyes calmly and deeply swept over Tang Tan and Gu Zhongyan, and finally fixed on Gu Zhongyan's face.
"You are Gu Ye? I have long admired your name."
"Senior was joking, just call junior by name, junior Gu Zhongyan pays homage to all seniors."
Gu Zhongyan cupped his hands to respond to the elders neither humble nor overbearing, his calm and not impatient attitude made them thoughtful at first, and then showed some satisfied eyes.
"You should know that the head of this sect has not seen any outsiders for more than 20 years. What is the purpose of bringing up the old man today?" The deputy head of the sect stared at Gu Zhongyan fiercely, and he never expected that someone would mention the person from more than 30 years ago .
The person they were sorry for, none of them can mention it all these years, that is the eternal pain in their hearts in this life, there is nothing more suffocating than wanting to apologize but can no longer say it to that person, they can only put that name deep in their hearts.
Especially their senior elder brother, when he learned the truth back then, he went mad with remorse, and even fell into a demon for a while. It was only after these years of retreat and tranquility that he gradually recovered, but his heart was as dead as stagnant water, and even his own son I don't care anymore.
In recent years, the world dare not mention this junior brother again, and many people even forget the existence of junior junior brother, but how did this young man know about it?Could it be... the deputy head squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Zhongyan, and found that this young man was indeed somewhat similar to their junior brother, could it be that...
No, no, the age is wrong, everyone knows that Gu Zhongyan is thirty-three years old, when his birthday is calculated forward, that incident has not happened yet, and the younger brother is only 13 years old, and he is still a little boy who doesn't understand anything , How could there be children.
"The younger generation is fortunate to have the guidance of Senior Hu's relics. Among them, there are a few words and phrases with your head. I want to ask your head to exchange some things."
Gu Zhongyan's words made everyone stare at him wide-eyed, and their breathing froze, as if they couldn't digest and understand his words for a moment.
"You, what are you talking about? Whose relic?" A trembling voice came from behind them. Gu Zhongyan and Tang Tan turned their heads and saw a man with terrified eyes and asked excitedly.
The two of them looked at the man for a while. The man looked extremely young, but he was a bit haggard and lonely, and he looked thinner. He seemed to be in his early thirties. There were no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes or mouth, but his hair was full of hair without a single strand of black hair.
"...Master Yan?" Gu Zhongyan asked the other party, but in fact, it must be more than doubt.
After the man nodded to admit his identity, he ignored the etiquette and asked Gu Zhongyan what he wanted to know.
"Whose relic and last words did you just say? Xiaohan? Is it Xiaohan's?" The man anxiously grabbed Gu Zhongyan's arms and asked, with grief that could not be hidden in his eyes.
Osamu...?I don't know why this title made Tang Tan feel a little chilly. If it was him, he would definitely not want someone to call him Xiao Tan or Tan'er when he was 50 or [-] years old.
"Yes, Senior Hu left behind a book of martial arts, a paragraph of words and a jade pendant."
"He... what did he say?" Yan Tengzhi asked Gu Zhongyan with a trembling voice, as if he was afraid of hearing some bad news but wanted to know.
"Not seeing you in life is like participating in business." Gu Zhongyan replied flatly.
This answer was like a bolt from the blue, making Yan Tengzhi's face turn pale, and he staggered back a few steps precariously, but was blocked by Elder Chi.
"If you don't see each other in your life, it's like participating in a business, and if you don't see you in your life, it's like participating in a business...Xiao Han, you really won't forgive me..."
Yan Tengzhi murmured that sentence repeatedly, let out a pathetic self-deprecating laugh, tears kept falling, and sat down on his knees with a smile, no matter how much Elder Chi pulled him, he couldn't get up.
"...You just said that you have his jade pendant, right? Where is the jade pendant? Where is it?" Yan Tengzhi didn't care about the martial arts book at all, and asked eagerly after a moment.
Gu Zhongyan took out the piece of jade, and a translucent white ice jade was hanging between his fingers.Seeing the ice jade, Yan Tengzhi almost rushed up to snatch the jade, but failed because Gu Zhongyan suddenly took two or three steps back, which made him stare at Gu Zhongyan angrily, but when he reached his mouth, The angry reprimand at the side, but swallowed when seeing Gu Zhongyan's indifferent eyes.
"Give me the jade pendant!" Yan Tengzhi's eyes were sad and eager, staring at Gu Zhongyan's fist, wanting to take another look and touch the jade pendant, because the jade pendant was given to him when he was young Yes, the younger brother wears it all year round because he likes it very much.
"If I had known this before, why did I..." Gu Zhongyan said indifferently with no expression on his face, meaning something, which made all the elders present froze, thinking that there was something in the words.
"Gu Shaoxia, what do you mean by that?" The deputy sect master's face was slightly stern, and he always felt that there seemed to be sarcasm in Gu Zhongyan's plain tone.
Gu Zhongyan only looked back at him, did not answer his question, and turned to Yan Tengzhi to continue talking about the unfinished words.
"The junior came here this time because he heard that there is a precious medicinal material in the hands of the master Yan. He came here to hope to trade with the master Yan. As long as the master Yan is willing to exchange this medicinal material with the junior, this jade pendant will be given to the master Yan."
Hearing Gu Zhongyan's request, everyone looked at his still expressionless face with a serious face, frowning deeply.Unexpectedly, Gu Zhongyan would make such a request. If the jade pendant is real, then Yan Tengzhi...
"What do you want?" Yan Tengzhi stared at him calmly, and began to think about whether the jade pendant belonged to the younger brother, or if he just cheated him of the medicinal materials in his hand. The person who did it wanted to blackmail him.
"Tianshan Snow Lotus in the hands of Master Yan." Gu Zhongyan didn't beat around the bush, and directly named the medicinal materials he wanted.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhongyan would want to exchange a piece of jade for the hard-to-find snow lotus, everyone's complexion changed drastically, and the impatient First Elder even yelled angrily.
"Brat, who knows whether your piece of jade is real or not? I don't know if it belongs to the younger brother! Just relying on that thing to exchange for the snow lotus in the hand of the head brother, you have a good idea!"
But Gu Zhongyan still didn't change his expression when facing the great elder's scolding, just looked at Yan Tengzhi who was frowning.
Suddenly, without any warning, Yan Tengzhi attacked Gu Zhongyan in an instant, and hit him directly on the chest with his palm, causing Tang Tan, who had been quietly standing aside, to let out a short scream.
But Gu Zhongyan seemed to have expected him to do this, the jade pendant disappeared in his hand immediately, and the other palm was facing Yan Tengzhi, the two palms collided with each other, and a burst of energy shot out from the two palms, even Tang Tan, a person without martial arts, can see the fluctuation with the naked eye.
It can be seen that the energy vibrates the refraction of water vapor and light in the air, making the places where the energy passes by shake like water waves.Once Tang Tan saw their palms facing each other, he reflexively hid behind a pillar beside him.I could see from watching martial arts dramas since I was a child that people who were hit by that kind of energy would be unlucky enough to squirt blood from internal injuries, and he didn't want to be swept away for no reason.
The two slashed and blocked with fists and palms one after another, and their hands and feet quickly exchanged moves. The speed and movements made Tang Tan dumbfounded. He never thought that he would see such a scene with his own eyes one day.
After a few moves, they closed their palms and stood in two places. Gu Zhongyan's expression remained unchanged, but Yan Tengzhi frowned and stared at Gu Zhongyan.
"Your inner strength mentality is indeed derived from our school's Huntian mentality...but it is slightly different." Yan Tengzhi said in a deep tone, making the deputy head and the three elders look surprised, and they just Knowing that Yan Tengzhi's sudden attack on Gu Zhongyan was to test whether it was true that he said he got the martial arts score of their junior brother.
And the facts also proved that the source of his mental skills really came from their Tianyumen.
"There is no set of minds that is absolutely perfect, I just modify some places to be more suitable for me." Gu Zhongyan patted his wrinkled sleeves, and narrated in a flat tone, without any awareness of his own words. How much waves have been stirred up in the hearts of the seniors.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to learn the mental method that is recognized as perfect by their school so skillfully, and even modify it to be more suitable for themselves.
Yan Tengzhi turned his head to look at the scenery outside the hall that had not changed for decades, suffering and struggling in his heart, but it was more of an empty pain.
"It's been... 30 years..." Yan Tengzhi murmured in a tone as if he was about to cry. In the past 30 years, although he knew that his younger brother was dead, he always hoped that his younger brother would still live in a certain corner, whether he hated him or forgot him, but...but...
"Just treat it as if you owed Mr. Hu, repay him now, and do a good deed on Mr. Hu's behalf, and giving this jade pendant to you also means that he has settled everything with you. What does Sect Leader Yan think?"
Gu Zhongyan took out the jade pendant again, and Yan Teng subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but he froze when he heard the word "liangqing", his palm trembled, and he closed his fist again.
For some reason, Tang Tan felt that Gu Zhongyan was very weird when he looked left and right, as if he was deliberately digging out Yan Tengzhi's scar with malice.
Xiao Han... Hu... Hu... What Han?What does this name seem to be weird?Tang Tan fell into his own thoughts at the side, unable to figure out which crux made him feel subtle, so he couldn't help but sway to Gu Zhongyan's side, regardless of other people, and asked Gu Zhongyan in a low voice.
"Zhongyan, what's the name of that senior Hu?" Although Tang Tan whispered in Gu Zhongyan's ear, to the martial arts practitioners present, his voice was no different from that of a normal voice. Eyebrow, it seems that he only noticed Tang Tan's existence at this moment.
"Surnamed Hu, single-named family, Hu Han."
When he heard the name, Yan Teng's face twisted again.
Hu Han... Hu... Han... Gu Yue Hu... Huh?There was a "click" in Tang Tan's mind to connect to the subtle incongruity.His surprised eyes looked at Gu Zhongyan, and he blinked at Gu Zhongyan, but Gu Zhongyan just raised his eyebrows slightly in response... He never thought that Gu Zhongyan would withdraw such a lie.
"...The Marquis of Changsheng is the number one imperial merchant in the world. How could there be no snow lotus medicine? I heard that the Marquis of Changsheng also obtained a snow lotus more than 30 years ago. Why do I need this flower in my hand?" Yan Tengzhi was repeatedly asked by the ancients. Zhongyan poked sarcastically, even though he knew that what Gu Zhongyan said was reasonable, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Especially what he said just now made him think that maybe if he didn't exchange snow lotus for Hu Han's jade pendant, he wouldn't be completely cut off from his junior brother in this life.
To be honest, when he heard that the medicinal material they wanted was Tianshan Snow Lotus, Tang Tan once wondered if it was so difficult to obtain it?
After all, their family used to have several wild snow lotuses, ranging from NT$2000 or [-] to more than NT$[-], depending on the species.But if you think about it carefully, all kinds of tools in ancient times were underdeveloped and dangerous. Whether it was picking or planting, it was extremely difficult, and it was inevitable that a medicine would be hard to find.
"Our family also has them?" Tang Tan asked in a low voice, frowning suspiciously. Gu Zhongyan once took him to the Tang family's warehouse for storing rare medicinal materials that are difficult to find.
"...It was taken by Lord Hou to save people a long time ago."
"Since you Changshenghou Mansion used it yourself, it is your own business. There is no reason to come and rob our Huanyu Gate. Snow lotus is something you can get in exchange for a jade pendant." The elder heard their whispers, Also very blunt and authentic.
Tang Tan also knew that the other party was right, and that the other party did not have the obligation to exchange with them, but... he felt a little distressed, and suddenly saw a trace of sarcasm in Gu Zhongyan's eyes. He blinked again, and suddenly realized that Gu Zhongyan was happy. Why keep targeting Yan Tengzhi.
"...So, are you using it on the boss?" Tang Tan ignored the elder's harsh words.
It's no wonder that the boss is so busy running around for the sake of the Marquis of Longevity. This family always values the small favors of the Tang family so much.
"En." Gu Zhongyan kind of answered why he asked Yan Tengzhi to repay on his behalf.
Because, indeed, he caused all these causal relationships.
"... Stop when you've had enough fun. I don't think the manager cares about these anymore." Tang Tan chuckled lightly. Make it fun for him.
It turns out that the calm and introverted Gu Zhongyan also has such a side.
"Playing...? Tell me what you mean by that, and who are you?" Hearing their conversation, it seemed as if they were playing tricks on them, the elder raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and stared at Tang Tan.
Tang Tan patted Gu Zhongyan to prevent him from explaining for himself, and motioned for him to explain next.
"Everyone is well, my junior, Tang Tan, is the eldest son of Marquis of Changsheng. I took the liberty to come here this time to find snow lotus for my father to treat. Please forgive me if there is any impolite offense." Tang Tan spoke in that light and gentle voice. He introduced himself, and the two heads and elders all showed astonishment when they heard his words.
It turned out that the eldest son Hou came here in person?
"Go and go, even if the emperor and I come, there is no reason to force them to sell them."
The Great Elder deliberately issued an order to drive them away, but the two ignored him, and Tang Tan turned to look at Yan Tengzhi.
"Speaking of it, on the other hand, this is what Sect Leader Yan owes us to the Marquis of Longevity. It is only natural for Sect Leader Yan to hand over Xuelian to us."
"I owe you... what do you mean?" Yan Tengzhi looked at Tang Tan's handsome and elegant face, and he could feel from the man's breathing that he had no martial arts, or was so weak that he almost didn't feel it.
"Seniors also know that my father was also known as a miracle doctor in the past, but it is a pity that the younger brother was poisoned too much. Even if he had a way to heal himself, his medical skills were useless due to coma. Back then, it was also because the Hou Mansion lacked Tianshan snow lotus. Can find another way to detoxify, thus leaving a legacy..."
Tang Tan slowly talked about what Gu Zhongyan had told him along the way, and the truth that he had just pieced together.
"Stop rambling on, brat. What does this have to do with you saying that the head owes you? It's totally irrelevant." The Great Elder interrupted impatiently again.
And Tang Tan who was interrupted didn't show any strange expression, he just glanced at him and continued talking.
"Of course it has something to do with it. If Head Master Yan hadn't knocked the poisoned Mr. Hu off the cliff back then, my father would not have used the snow lotus in the Hou Mansion because of it. If so, it means that Head Master Yan owed us Marquis of Changsheng’s mansion, it’s not too much to ask for a snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain, right?”
Tang Tan's tone was still calm and relaxed without any strong emotional words, but with such a light tone, the message he threw out was like heavy explosives, which made the heads and elders stunned for a long time before they could digest what he said.
After a while, Yan Tengzhi finally came to his senses, with an expression of anticipation and fear of being hurt, he rushed forward tremblingly trying to catch Tang Tan to confirm whether what he just said was true, but was blocked by Gu Zhongyan. Let him touch Tang Tan.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Yan Tengzhi would hurt Tang Tan, but that excited people would often lose their sense of control, and he was worried that Yan Tengzhi would accidentally hurt Tang Tan.
"You just... repeat what you just said? Are you telling the truth...? Xiaohan... Is Xiaohan still alive? Is he still alive?" Yan Tengzhi was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse.
Tang Tan glanced at Gu Zhongyan, and felt more and more that this man was actually sullen, so he could keep his face expressionless.
"Sect Leader Yan shouldn't ask me this, our house manager should know better than me." Tang Tan immediately dismissed the question completely.
Everyone looked at Gu Zhongyan's expression that remained unchanged. The more they looked, the more they felt that he was somewhat similar to Hu Han, but they were very different, and they couldn't match in age. However, the hope that had been dead in their hearts for many years seemed to be revived. a feeling of.
"Tell me...Xiaohan, is he..." Yan Tengzhi grabbed Gu Zhongyan's shoulder and asked with a little expectation.
"So what? He said that seeing each other in a lifetime is like participating in a business, and he asked me to exchange a jade pendant for Tianshan snow lotus with you. Do you think he still wants to see you, or cares about your apology?" Gu Zhongyan's words were sharp and to the point , Yan Tengzhi's complexion was pale and he was hit hard.
"Then, is Master Yan willing to exchange Tianshan Snow Lotus with us?" Yan Tengzhi seemed to have aged decades in an instant... It doesn't mean the feeling of suddenly getting old on the outside, but his heart and appearance The form that came out became weaker than before, Tang Tan felt that this was actually enough.
For this master Yan, living in the shadow of hurting his most important person all his life, torturing his heart, is actually more cruel than any physical punishment, so he also signaled Gu Zhongyan not to Stimulate Yan Tengzhi.
After being absent-minded for a long while, Yan Tengzhi nodded slowly and replied in a tired voice.
"I'll go get you that snow lotus!"
When Yan Tengzhi handed over the box containing Tianshan snow lotus to the two of them in exchange for the jade pendant, he stared blankly at the imperfect ice jade that he had carved with his own hands back then, and the tears in his eyes could not help dripping down. on top.
After all...do we have to go this far?It was his distrust that destroyed everything with his own hands.
