C397 The High Duke Went Missing
Lan Tian asked excitedly." Oh, what secret did he have that you know?"
Old Man Tan took a few sips of his cigarette first, then he said, "To the east of the Cloud Capital, there is a flood city. The strongest person in the flood city isn't the city lord, but the Nangong family."
"The people of the Nangong family are all very strong in martial arts, and some of them even went to the Guanzhou to further their studies. That's why there are rumors that some people in the Nangong world have already broken through to the Saint level, and are above the Connection Rank."
"It is said that the Nangong family not only practices martial arts, but also does business. However, they never directly participate in it, so there is no way to check whether they are doing business or not."
Speaking up to this point, Old Man Tan took a few more sips of his cigarette, frowned, and fell into his memories.
"One day three years ago, I stayed in a hotel. At night, I suddenly heard some light footsteps from the roof, so I quietly got off the bed, walked to the window and looked outside."
"I found a masked man in black clothes at the door of a room across the street. He knocked on the door gently and the door opened. Following the moonlight, I looked at the person inside and was stunned."
"The person living in that room is actually the king, Yun Qingsong. After that, I saw that black shadow flash into his room."
" Out of curiosity, I quietly went over and quietly pried open his window paper to take a look inside. The man in black has already pulled down the mask on his face. "
" When I saw this, I was stunned again. So this man in black is actually the Nangong family's second head, his name is Nangong Deyu."
"Unfortunately, their voices were very soft. Furthermore, Nangong Deyu's martial arts was too high, so I didn't dare to stay for too long, so I retreated."
When Old Man Tan said this, he had a thoughtful expression on his face, "Logically speaking, if the king wants to get close to the Nangong family, he should be able to openly interact with them. I really don't know why they are so secretive."
"That's why I said that the king can completely use the Nangong family and dispatch the Guanzhou's martial practitioners to assassinate you. Moreover, it just so happens that the Qingshan General Academy has issued a reward for you. This is killing two birds with one stone. "
"Not only can I send someone to kill you, but I can also throw this blame on the Qingshan Academy. Therefore, you must be more vigilant. Since ancient times, accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Yun Qingsong can push his own daughter away as a shield. How can he be lenient to an outsider like you?"
Lan Tian nodded his head and thought for a moment before saying," Old Man Tan, since I have already comprehended the Great sword intent, I have already subdued the Qingshan Academy here. It's meaningless to stay here any longer. "
"Besides, there are still many assassins who want to kill me. Staying here will bring disaster to the Starry Academy sooner or later, so I have to go out for a walk. I need to find trouble with the Qingshan Academy Institution! "
Old Man Tan frowned and thought for a while. "If I were you, I would either not go, or go directly to the general academy to fight him! If you beat the general academy up, those branches would naturally submit to you! "
"The general academy is set up in Silver Country. Although Silver Country is very far from our country, this Silver Country is very bad. They rely on the strong military forces of their own country to order many small countries to pay them a sum of money every year."
"First of all, our Yun Country is a little far away from them. Second, three years ago, Ouyang Xiu, this Lord Protector was there. That's why they didn't ask our country to pay them the money."
"If you go to the Silver Country, firstly, you can defeat the Qingshan General Academy, and secondly, you can kill the prestige of the people of the Silver Country. But the danger is also quite big."
" You have to know that the Qingshan General Academy is located in the capital of the Silver Country. If you go and find trouble with the general academy, the king of the Silver Country will definitely make a move. At that time, you will be facing an army of thousands. You have to think carefully."
Lan Tian thought for a moment, "Go! Since this guy dares to put a bounty on me, why don't I go and kill them? Not only do I have to go, I also want to go with a big fanfare! "
Old Man Tan gave Lan Tian a profound look. He knew that Lan Tian's actions had attracted all the trouble to him alone.
"Brother, you have to be careful!" Bamboo reminded him worriedly.
Lan Tian dotingly reached out his hand and rubbed her cute little head. "Don't worry, I will be careful."
The next morning, Lan Tian let Fatty and Lu Fei spread the news that Bing would go to Silver Country to find trouble with the Qingshan General Academy tomorrow.
Lan Tian also went to the street and bought a lot of daily necessities. At night, he and Bamboo cooked a delicious meal together.
While everyone was eating and drinking, a few female soldiers suddenly rushed to the school. Lan Tian looked and saw that these female soldiers were the guards of the High Duke. He also knew one of the names, Lan.
"Lan Tian, where is our High Duke? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Lan looked into the room and asked curiously.
"A public election? She didn't come over? What happened? She came?" Lan Tian asked with a surprised expression.
Hearing that the High Duke had never been here before, Xiaolan immediately panicked, "The High Duke brought Aunt Rong with him all morning and said that he had something to discuss with you."0
"This departure will last for a day. The king is worried about her and seeing that it is almost late, he asked me to wait for her to come and invite her back. How could she not be here? She clearly said that she came here?"
Lan Tian frowned. The Great Duke had said that he would come here in the morning. If he didn't see anyone today, then he would most likely be in danger.
He immediately stood up and said, "Not good, I think the High Duke is in danger. Hurry up and order the entire city to search for him. I will follow him here."
Xiaolan panicked when she heard this. She immediately ran down the mountain with the female soldiers.
"F * ck, he even dared to make a move on the High Duke. He's really lawless. Boss, I'll go with you to find it!" Fatty stood up and said.
Lan Tian waved his hand and said, "All of you, don't panic. All of you are fine at home. Don't let anything happen to all of you." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
The archduke had been arrested. It was broad daylight. It was not easy for those people to bring her out of the city, because the soldiers guarding the city would definitely unveil the carriage to investigate.
However, there were exceptions. For example, if they encountered someone with power or power, or if the other party gave a few small coins to those soldiers, they would be able to muddle their way through.
Lan Tian rode his horse to the city gate and found that he had already received Lan's notice. They were all nervously inspecting every carriage.
Lan Tian asked the general who was guarding the city, and asked him if there were any carriages that he had not checked during the day.
Although the general knew that Lan Tian was no longer a Lord Protector, he knew that Lan Tian's martial arts was very powerful, so he did not dare to answer him truthfully.
He cupped his hands at Lan Tian and said, "Hero Lan, there are three carriages that have not been checked today. One of them is the carriage that went to various places to send funerals after Third Royal Uncle passed away."
"The other one is the chief steward of the Nangong family. He came to Boss Mei's shop to buy some high-end clothes and went back. Because the Nangong family received permission from the king three years ago, they were able to freely enter and exit the various cities. Thus, I didn't dare to investigate. "
"The other one is the salt merchant boss. Because he gave a few gold coins to the city guards, he didn't accept the inspection."
When Lan Tian heard about the Nangong family and Third Royal Uncle, his heart sank.
