In the eyes of Tang Zheng and Yan Liuyun, these seemingly mediocre and powerless chess players immediately grew in stature.
Of course, they couldn't help but look at Ji Wuxiang, who had created this opportunity, in a new light.
They finally understood why the Azure Dragon Hall was so eager to rope in Ji Wuxiang. The High Lord probably also understood that he was no match for Tang Zheng, so he placed his hopes on this Heavenly Chess.
Fortunately, they had already arranged for people to be stationed at the Go Club. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have discovered this matter, and it was even more likely that the other party would succeed.
"During this period of time, Granny Li has been constantly persuading me. I originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but when I thought of the Azure Dragon Hall's illustrious reputation, I felt that it wouldn't do to just ignore her. So, I also did some work specifically to target them." Ji Wuxiang's emotions calmed down, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, what kind of work?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
Ji Wuxiang was being bullied to the point of being above his head, and with his temper, it was impossible for him to not do anything.
Sure enough, Ji Wuxiang said, "I used various methods and finally determined Granny Li's hiding place."
Tang Zheng and Yan Liuyun looked at each other. The people sent by Yan Liuyun hadn't found any reliable information at all. They didn't expect that Ji Wuxiang would beat them to it.
Once they knew where Granny Li was hiding, it would naturally be of great use.
Tang Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "Then where is she hiding?"
Ji Wuxiang immediately gave him an address.
Tang Zheng turned around and left without looking back, saying, "Young Master Yan, you stay here first. I'll be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
In the west of the city, in a quiet house.
A figure flashed and directly jumped over the wall of the courtyard. Immediately, a few feminine shouts rang out.
"Who is it?"
Whoosh!
Ten or so attacks came unexpectedly, one after another flying towards Tang Zheng.
Before Tang Zheng's feet touched the ground, his body spun, creating a whirlwind. With a series of clanging sounds, he repelled the incoming enemies and landed firmly on the ground. His eyes were like lightning as he looked at this group of people.
"It's you!"
Cries of surprise rang out again. The ten or so pretty girls all stared at Tang Zheng. They were both shocked and angry.
"So it was Li Xiaotian's Xiao Bai face. That slut took over the magpie's nest, betrayed the Palace Master, and seized the Li Palace. Now you actually dare to deliver yourself to my doorstep? Where's that slut Li Xiaotian? Was she here as well? Tell her to come out and hide in the back like a coward! "Ying Yue's face was as cold as ice as she scolded.
As the direct disciple of Granny Li, her life had undergone earth-shattering changes. She had become like a stray dog, hiding in the courtyard of the capital.
All of this was thanks to Li Xiaotian. Her anger towards Li Xiaotian was difficult to conceal. Of course, she also did not have a good impression of Tang Zheng.
Although her voice was stern, her heart was filled with worry. Her whereabouts had been exposed. If other enemies came to attack, then they might not be a match for them.
The Palace Master had not returned after leaving and she did not know where he went. What should she do?
At present, she could only temporarily stabilize the other side and wait for the Palace Master to come back and deal with him.
Tang Zheng also recognized Ying Yue and said, "So it wasn't just Granny Li who came to the capital. Even you remnants of the Li Palace came with her."
"We are the legitimate members of the Li Palace. That slut Li Xiaotian is a traitor." Ying Yue loudly retorted.
Tang Zheng did not want to be entangled with the other side and asked, "Where is Granny Li? Just now, she escaped. Now that she has nowhere to run, let her come out and see me. As a grand expert, she shouldn't be too afraid to show her face, right? "
Ying Yue's expression suddenly changed as she cried out in alarm, "What did you say? You've seen the Palace Master? "
"Of course. Just now, she escaped. Now, she won't be so lucky."
Ying Yue's heart thumped as her mind madly jumped. Suddenly realizing that the situation was bad, she gradually began to think of retreating. She no longer hoped for the Palace Master to save her, so she loudly shouted, "Kill him!"
Then, like a loach, she retreated backwards. The others quickly rushed forward and fiercely attacked Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he attacked like lightning. The person at the front was struck in the throat and immediately fell to the ground, unable to get up. The others also followed in his footsteps. None of them could withstand a single blow and were knocked down one after another.
Compared to the current Tang Zheng and these ordinary martial artists, one was in the sky and one was on the ground. Even if the other side had more people, they would not be of much use.
Everyone fell to the ground, but Ying Yue had just jumped onto the courtyard wall, trying to escape.
Tang Zheng casually broke off a branch and turned it into a sharp sword, which flew towards Ying Yue with a 'sou' sound.
"Ah!"
Ying Yue screamed and fell from the courtyard wall. Struggling to get up, she found that the place where her leg had been hit was painful as if it had been broken.
Her eyes flashed with despair as she raised her head to look, coincidentally meeting Tang Zheng's gaze.
"Now you can't escape. Be honest, where is Granny Li now?" Tang Zheng asked coldly.
"I don't know!" Ying Yue's answer was resolute, "You want me to betray the Palace Master? In your dreams."
"Is that so? Then I will make you wish you were dead. That feeling won't be good. In the end, you will still tell me, "Tang Zheng said lightly.
Ying Yue shuddered, her eyes filled with fear, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to speak, "Dream on, I don't know the whereabouts of the Palace Master. Even if I did, I would never tell you."
Tang Zheng did not believe her. Since she was an enemy, there was no need to be merciful, so he directly used his Soul Searching Technique. Ying Yue screamed and tried to resist, but in the end, she fell to the ground weakly and became a fool.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. The information obtained from the Soul Searching Technique showed that she was not lying. She really did not know the whereabouts of Granny Li. It was just that Tang Zheng had figured out their whereabouts during this time.
Since the defeat of the Li Palace, they had come to the capital and were all placed in this courtyard by Granny Li. From then on, Granny Li left early and returned late, no one knew what she was busy with.
No one knew, just like prisoners, they stayed in this small courtyard every day.
Granny Li was very dignified, so even if they had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to question or ask. They believed that the Palace Master must have her own plans and would make a comeback in the near future.
But it seemed that they would not live to see that day.
Tang Zheng let out a long sigh. Even Ying Yue did not know, let alone the others. This trip could be considered a waste of time.
What he did not know was that outside the courtyard, there was a pair of eyes looking at this courtyard from afar.
This was Granny Li.
On the road, in order to make sure that she had completely gotten rid of Tang Zheng, she deliberately took a long detour, and finally determined that there was no tail, so she hurried back.
But before she reached the door, she found that Ying Yue had jumped up the wall and then fell down with a scream. Granny Li originally wanted to rescue her, but in the next second, she stopped and glared at the courtyard as if she was about to spit fire.
She knew that her disciples had been completely wiped out, so if she rushed in, she would only be throwing her life away.
She gritted her teeth, and with a poof, her fingers left long scratches on the trunk of a nearby tree. She took a few deep breaths, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Ying Yue, I will definitely avenge you!" Granny Li murderously muttered to herself in a low voice, then took a deep look at the courtyard, turned around, and left.
Tang Zheng naturally did not know that he had brushed past Granny Li and returned in disappointment. As for the disciples of the Li Palace, he had left them to the Yan family to deal with.
When Ji Wuxiang saw Tang Zheng return, his butt seemed to have been installed with springs, and he jumped up from the chair and anxiously asked, "Young Master Tang, did you catch Granny Li?"
Tang Zheng shook his head, "I didn't see her. She must have known that the matter was exposed, so she ran away and only caught some small fish and shrimps."
Ji Wuxiang was extremely disappointed and sighed, "I should have told Young Master Tang this news earlier. Perhaps Granny Li would not have been able to escape."
"There is no if." Tang Zheng shook his head, "Since the Azure Dragon Palace has already set their sights on Chief Ji, with their style of doing things, they will definitely not give up. What does Chief Ji plan to do next?"
Ji Wuxiang's face was difficult, "How can I be a match for the Azure Dragon Palace? Although I have the Celestial Chess, it is very complicated to set up this chess game. It is not something that can be done in a day, so … it seems that I will not be able to escape this calamity."
Tang Zheng disagreed, "Chief Ji must be joking. Your connections are unparalleled, and you have been doing well in the capital these past few years. No one dares to provoke you. This is a great ability, so how can there be no way?"
"Ai, Granny Li is right about one thing. The backing behind me is already on the verge of collapse. My good days are coming to an end." Ji Wuxiang shook his head and sighed.
Tang Zheng and Yan Liuyun looked at each other, their eyes flashing with a strange light.
There was no doubt that Ji Wuxiang was extremely mysterious to the public. Even the great families knew very little about him. They only knew that he had a lot of power, and that there were very few things that he could not handle.
Everyone guessed that he had a great backer, but no one knew who it was.
Ji Wuxiang looked at the two and smiled bitterly, "I know how you guys usually guess about me. In my line of work, the more mysterious and unpredictable I am, the better. This is my best protection. Since I am indebted to the two of you for saving my life, I, Ji Wuxiang, will not hide anything from you. I, Ji Wuxiang, have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. So, there is no harm in telling you. "
Tang Zheng and Yan Liuyun both opened their eyes wide in curiosity, waiting for his answer.
When they heard Ji Wuxiang say a name, Tang Zheng and Yan Liuyun's faces changed dramatically.
Because this name was too famous. It was a person who was as famous as the chief in power, and even more senior.
Ji Wuxiang seemed to have expected the two's reaction. He continued, "These years, I have obtained too many benefits for him. So, in the eyes of the upper class, I am a thorn in their side. Many people want to take me down. My backer is old enough, and he is at a disadvantage in this power struggle. His butt is not clean either. In recent years, the tiger hunting operation has been in full swing, and he is lacking a real tiger. So, I am afraid that my backer will become this tiger and be knocked off his pedestal. "
Tang Zheng was overwhelmed with shock, there were actually so many secrets that no one knew.
