CHAPTER 40
Above Xu Song's head, the thunderclouds that were about to disperse quickly gathered again.
Boom!
The dark green Heavenly Lightning suddenly struck down. Xu Song's hair stood on end as he looked at the Heavenly Lightning that was falling rapidly. It was already too late for him to react. He could only circulate his spiritual energy and cover his body with earth energy as he blasted the heavenly lightning above him! Attack against attack!
Unsurprisingly, Xu Song's protective aura was broken and he was smashed to the ground.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck down. Xu Song, who had been paralyzed, could no longer move. He could only look at the green lightning in despair and wait for death.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following the second bolt of lightning, the third and fourth bolts of lightning followed suit. Gunpowder smoke rose from the ground.
When the lightning dissipated, there was only a broken long sword and a small broken mirror left where Xu Song had been standing. There was nothing else.
Annihilation!
"Phew …" Tang Jin heaved a sigh of relief. He looked back at Su Wan 'ge, Sensible Cheng Yin, and Xiao Yu behind him and revealed a victorious smile.
Tang Jin didn't pay much attention to the corpses on the ground. Retrieving his Heavenly Soldier Treasure Bean, Tang Jin led his horse and led Ming Zhi and the others south on the official road, heading towards the next city.
On the way, Su Wan 'ge looked at the sorry state of the group and said apologetically, "Tang Shi, I'd better wear a veil. I might be recognized today, I …"
"No need!" Tang Jin firmly rejected Su Wan 'ge. "Cowering has never been my style. Besides, why should I be afraid of them?"
After saying that, Tang Jin touched the jade pendant on his left chest. That was his biggest life-saving trump card! Spirit Summoning Talisman! If he encountered danger, even if he couldn't crush the jade talisman in time, if his opponent accidentally crushed it, it would still save his life! And the person who could annihilate Tang Jin with just one move? Why would such a powerful enemy come looking for trouble with Tang Jin?
The group continued forward, passing by many cities. They didn't stop if they could, hurriedly passing by. After three days, everyone finally arrived at the provincial capital of Tian Xian Province, Luo Chi City.
Standing in front of the gate of Luo Chi City, which was obviously more magnificent than the other cities, Tang Jin's half-squinted eyes suddenly emitted two rays of cold light! From now on, the arrogant, domineering, and insufferably arrogant King of Heaven's Pride was back!
Just as Tang Jin and the others habitually walked directly into the city gate, the guards at the gate of Luo Chi City stopped Su Wan 'ge who was on the Treading Snow Horse and said seriously, "Miss, please get off the horse. There are rules in the city that you are not allowed to ride a horse."
The soldiers guarding the city did not let go of Tang Jin and the others just because they were dressed in luxurious clothes and had the air of a young master and young lady from a big family. Instead, they dutifully stopped Su Wan 'ge who was on the horse.
"Alright." Su Wange stopped Tang Jin, who was about to say something, and said gently, "I accidentally forgot. Wange will come down now."
After saying that, Su Wan 'ge jumped down from the horse without a trace of embarrassment. In this regard, Tang Jin did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the gatekeeper with satisfaction.
"Everyone, please come in." Seeing Su Wan 'ge get down from the horse, the gatekeeper made a gesture of invitation and let everyone in.
Tang Jin and the others looked around at the streets that were obviously more prosperous than ordinary cities and nodded unconsciously. The provincial capital was indeed the provincial capital!
Without stopping, Tang Jin led everyone to the city's main residence in the center of the city. Although they did not know what Tang Jin wanted to do, they followed Tang Jin to the city's main residence.
Every city in the Tang Dynasty was basically managed by the descendants of each generation of Wang Ye. Only the provincial capital of each province was different.
The governor of the provincial capital was also the provincial governor of the province. Each provincial governor was a confidant of the emperor and was not a descendant of Wang Ye or Wang Ye. The replacement time of each provincial governor was not fixed and completely depended on the mood of the current emperor.
As for this Idle Sky Province, as a place that Tang Jin had to pass through on his journey, Tang Jin had long understood the Provincial Supervisor of Idle Sky Province. The provincial governor of Tianxian Province, Yang Yaoyan, was a confidant of the current emperor, Tang Tianqin. He was very scheming and loyal to the imperial family. He was a right-hand man who wholeheartedly supported the Tang Dynasty.
Standing outside the gate of the city's main residence, Tang Jin looked up at the three bold golden characters on the gate. He could not help but smile and stepped into the gate.
"Stop! Who are you? How dare you break into the provincial governor's residence? "The gatekeeper at the gate reached out to block Tang Jin's path and asked.
Although the city's main residence was called the city's main residence, the servants and soldiers in the residence were called the provincial governor's residence.
Tang Jin looked at the gatekeeper who stopped him and said indifferently, "I want to see Yang Yaoyan. Why aren't you taking me in?" After saying this, he waved his left hand and a golden token appeared in his hand.
"You brat!" Hearing Tang Jin's words, the gatekeeper subconsciously wanted to curse. However, after seeing the golden token in Tang Jin's hand, he swallowed his curses back into his stomach.
The gatekeeper reached out with both hands and gently took the golden token in Tang Jin's hand. He slowly inserted spiritual energy into it. As the spiritual energy entered, a seven-colored fluorescent light appeared on the golden token. Then, a golden five-clawed golden dragon shadow emerged from the token. It was very mighty!
"Heavenly Dragon Token!" The gatekeeper cried out involuntarily. Then, as if he had reacted to something, he hurriedly shouted to his companion who was still in a daze, "Quick! Quickly go and report to the provincial governor that the imperial envoy has arrived! Hurry up! "
When his companion heard the gatekeeper's urgent shout, he came back to his senses and nodded. He first glanced at Tang Jin in fear, then he quickly ran into the city's main residence. It seemed that he was going to find Yang Yaoyan.
Seeing that his companion had already gone in to report to the provincial governor, the gatekeeper respectfully handed the Heavenly Dragon Token back to Tang Jin with both hands and said respectfully, "I didn't know that the imperial envoy was here. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
How could a lowly soldier like the gatekeeper recognize the Heavenly Dragon Token? Being a soldier was not only learning how to kill the enemy. Understanding the meaning of the various tokens of the Tang dynasty was also one of the lessons. This Heavenly Dragon Token was exclusive to the imperial envoy of the Tang dynasty. The holder could patrol the world on behalf of the emperor. How could the gatekeeper not know?
Tang Jin shook his head, indicating that he did not care. Then, he glanced at the city's main residence and looked at the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper looked at Tang Jin's eyes and said knowingly, "Imperial Envoy, please come with me." After that, he led Tang Jin inside.
The imperial envoy held the Heavenly Dragon Token. Seeing the Heavenly Dragon Token was like seeing the emperor himself. Naturally, he could enter the city's main residence without any notice.
The city's main residence was very big and gorgeous. Along the way, gold and stones were used as tiles, white jade was used as stairs, green grass was used as shade, and there were countless bonsai plants. All kinds of butterflies twined and circled above, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Hahaha, may I know which imperial envoy has come? I didn't receive any news from the imperial court before. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you. " Tang Jin had not walked far when he heard a burst of forthright laughter coming from not far away. Then, a burly man with a full beard walked out of the residence. However, his constantly moving small eyes showed that this person was not as boorish as he appeared.
This person was Yang Yaoyan!
"Imperial Envoy, you …" Yang Yaoyan still wanted to say something, but when he got closer and saw Tang Jin clearly, he trembled and knelt down without thinking, "Old servant Yang Yaoyan greets the King Of Heaven."
Yang Yaoyan called himself old servant but did not say old official. From this, it could be seen the relationship between Yang Yaoyan and the emperor.
When the surrounding soldiers and servants saw Yang Yaoyan kneel down, they were first stunned. Then, they also knelt down in fear and trepidation, "Greetings to the King Of Heaven!"
"Oh?" Tang Jin looked at Yang Yaoyan who was kneeling at his feet with his head lowered with interest and asked, "You know me?"
Yang Yaoyan did not dare to raise his head and replied respectfully, "I was lucky enough to obtain a portrait of Wang Ye."
"Mm." Hearing Yang Yaoyan's answer, Tang Jin nodded. He glanced at the people who were still kneeling on the ground trembling with fear and waved his hand, "Rise, no need to be so courteous."
"Thank you, Wang Ye!" Hearing Tang Jin's words, Yang Yaoyan thanked him and stood up.
When the surrounding people saw Yang Yaoyan stand up, they followed him and stood up, "Thank you, Wang Ye!"
"Wang Ye, please come with me. Let's go to the hall first." Yang Yaoyan bowed and made a gesture of invitation. Following beside Tang Jin, he led Tang Jin in.
In the hall, Tang Jin first sat on the main seat and picked up the hot tea that the servants had already brewed. After taking a sip, he looked up at Su Wange, Yang Yaoyan, and the others who were still standing. He waved his hand to the two rows of seats at the bottom of the hall and said, "Sit down, everyone. No need to be so courteous."
Hearing Tang Jin's words, Su Wange and Sensible sat down. However, Cheng Yin stood behind Tang Jin and said, "I'll stand behind Young Master." Yang Yaoyan waved his hand repeatedly, saying that he did not dare.
Seeing that Yang Yaoyan was unwilling to sit, Tang Jin did not continue to be courteous. He said to Yang Yaoyan directly, "Provincial Governor Yang, I came here this time to find you for something."
"Mm, please say it, Wang Ye. If this old servant can do it, I will not shirk." Yang Yaoyan said respectfully.
Tang Jin patted the Wind and Thunder Fan in his hand and said lightly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I encountered several attacks along the way."
"What!" Hearing Tang Jin's words, Yang Yaoyan could not believe his ears. Someone dared to attack the King Of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?! Was he tired of living?! Yang Yaoyan said fiercely, "Who is Wang Ye?"
"A family in your territory, the Chen family of Jiangyu City." Tang Jin's answer was neither salty nor light.
"The Chen family in my territory?!" Yang Yaoyan heard Tang Jin's words and suddenly raised his voice by an octave! He never thought that the one who dared to commit crimes against the wind was a family in his territory! Yang Yaoyan was sweating profusely. Looking at Tang Jin who was still playing with his folding fan, his heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge stone.
Plop!
Yang Yaoyan was so scared that he knelt in front of Tang Jin and said in a trembling voice, "Wang Ye, this old servant is guilty, this old servant is guilty. This old servant deserves to die ten thousand times. This old servant deserves to die ten thousand times. "
Looking at Yang Yaoyan's performance, Tang Jin smiled and reached out to gently lift Yang Yaoyan up. He said gently, "Hey? How can I blame you? This is the enmity between me and the Chen family. Don't put a big hat on your head. "
"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing Tang Jin's words, Yang Yaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully, "What do you mean, Wang Ye?"
