Who was Tang Li's fiancée on Celestial Mountain?
"She's your martial uncle Cang Qiuzi's only daughter, Cang Qiuying," Aunt Ru replied.
Cang Qiuying?
Han Yunxi mused that she might as well call her Little Fly Cang instead of Little Fly Cang. Does that mean I can call her daddy Big Fly Cang now?
Han Yunxi had never met Cang Qiuzi before, but she had long hated the man who held Tianshan Kenzō's second-in-command. Last time, Duanmu Yao had tricked Long Fei Ye away because of Cang Qiuzi.
Han Yunxi had always wanted to visit Celestial Mountain. Besides meeting Long Fei Ye's master, her second priority was to settle accounts with Cang Qiuzi. Who knew Tang Zijin would hook up with Cang Qiuzi?
Tang Li really should've run away from this marriage. She decided to help Tang Li run away wholeheartedly from now on!
"Cang Qiuzi's daughter?" Long Fei Ye looked at Tang Zijin. "The Tang Clan has some skills!"
Tang Zijin couldn't understand Long Fei Ye's anger. "Feiye, Tianshan Kenzō never knew about our friendship …"
Speaking up to here, he still paid attention to Han Yunxi and didn't tell her the truth.
Neither he nor Aunt Ru knew how much Long Fei Ye had told Han Yunxi about the Tang Clan, but one thing was certain: Long Fei Ye would never reveal his identity as East Qin's imperial heir. Until everything was set up, they could only bury it deep in their hearts. Once everything was ready, the secret would explode like a bolt of lightning, shaking the heavens and earth and shaking Celestial Mountain!
"Rather than betting everything on Kenzō, why don't we leave a way out for Cang Qiuzi? Moreover, this Cang Qiuying controls many businesses under Celestial Mountain's name. She's someone who can take care of business, "Tang Zijin suggested.
Although Tang Zijin does not know the real situation of the old man in Kenzō and the internal strife in Tianshan Kenzō, Long Fei Ye is very clear.
He is Kenzō's eldest disciple, and he might not be able to suppress Tianshan Kenzō. Furthermore, the Sword Sect Master's condition did not give him any guarantees.
Because Cang Qiuzi wasn't clear on the relationship between the Tang Clan and the Duke of Qin's estate, Tang Zijin could use him to his advantage. Objectively speaking, Tang Zijin's actions were thorough and prudent.
However, Long Fei Ye could not accept Tang Zijin using Tang Li's marriage like this! If Tang Li married someone else, he might be able to cast her aside, but once he married Cang Qiuzi's daughter, he'd be bound to her for the rest of his life. Cang Qiuzi would never allow his daughter to suffer any grievances in the Tang Clan.
"Feiye, just where is Tang Li?" Tang Zijin asked anxiously. A few days ago, Cang Qiuzi sent a letter threatening the Tang Clan. If they don't hand over Tang Li now, they'll have to bear the consequences! "
Long Fei Ye's face was stiff as he remained silent. Han Yunxi felt a little uneasy. She'd seen Long Fei Ye's ruthlessness before.
If Tang Zijin could sacrifice his son's happiness like this, to say nothing of Long Fei Ye.
Tang Zijin's move was truly for Long Fei Ye's sake.
Long Fei Ye's silence left Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru anxious on the sidelines.
"Feiye, where is he?" Aunt Ru's voice was filled with anger. "Li 'er can't hide from this for the rest of his life! If he comes back with me now and admits his wrongs and apologizes, Cang Qiuzi might forgive him. If this drags on, he'll have no chance to turn back! Feiye, you're not protecting him, but harming him! "
A complicated look flickered past Long Fei Ye's eyes, but he remained silent.
Han Yunxi looked at Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru's panicked expressions and wished she could give them a good scolding. If they'd done this earlier, why did they have to do this in the first place? To put it bluntly, Tang Li's current predicament was all their fault.
Long Fei Ye and Tang Li didn't care about his fiancée's origins, so they'd kept it a secret until now.
Now that they'd gotten into trouble with Celestial Mountain and were in the wrong, things were going to be difficult!
Tang Zijin couldn't wait any longer and said coldly, "If you won't tell us, Old Man will look for him himself!"
As soon as he spoke, Aunt Ru moved even faster. She rushed out the side door and headed for the rear courtyard as if she could find Tang Li if she went faster.
Tang Zijin wouldn't go so far as to let the servants search, but he and Aunt Ru dared to "look" for him on their own.
Long Fei Ye didn't stop them, but glanced at Han Yunxi before sitting down.
"Trouble?" Han Yunxi understood.
Long Fei Ye nodded. "Of all times, they had to provoke Cang Qiuzi at a time like this!"
Last time, Duanmu Yao had invited Cang Qiuzi to trick him. This time, she'd used Celestial Mountain's name to assassinate the Chu Clan. This proved that Duanmu Yao and Cang Qiuzi were close. Last time, he'd sent Tang Li to Celestial Mountain without finding anything.
Still, he had to be on guard.
The situation in the western regions hadn't stabilized yet. He could've just stood by and watched while Celestial Mountain attacked Ning Cheng, but Tang Zijin had brought trouble to his doorstep.
After a period of silence, Long Fei Ye summoned Chu Xifeng.
"How's Empress Xue's case?" he asked Cold.
"Duanmu Yao was invited to the Chu Clan barracks yesterday to personally investigate the assassination. She hasn't found any details yet," Chu Xifeng replied.
"Just her alone?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"No, she brought a bunch of Celestial Mountain swordsmen with her. It was quite a show of extravagance," Chu Xifeng replied.
Master and servant chatted for a while before Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru returned. Chu Xifeng tactfully withdrew to one side.
Seeing Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru's expressions, Han Yunxi knew that they hadn't found anything.
Before Tang Zijin could ask, Long Fei Ye spoke up first. "I already said he wasn't with your lordship. It's up to you to believe it or not. If you can't find him, then your lordship can't show up for Celestial Mountain's troubles. The Tang Clan can do whatever it wants. "
Aunt Ru's face was full of disbelief, but Tang Zijin was much calmer. He stopped her with a look.
"Feiye, this matter concerns the safety of the Tang Clan. It's not impossible that Cang Qiuzi would use the Tang Clan's annulment as an excuse to kill his way here. If you see Tang Li, please, please bring him back. Count it as uncle begging you for help! "
"Alright!" Long Fei Ye agreed easily.
Tang Zijin patted Long Fei Ye on the shoulder, looking very trusting. He asked a few more questions about his current situation before leaving. Aunt Ru's unwillingness was written all over her face. Before she left, she even gave Han Yunxi a look.
Han Yunxi didn't avoid her gaze, but met her gaze. Perhaps out of guilt or embarrassment, Aunt Ru immediately averted her gaze.
After they left, Han Yunxi and Chu Xifeng grew anxious.
"What do we do? Should we work together with Tang Li? "
"Your Highness, Young Master Tang's wedding … it really isn't good to drag things out any longer."
Long Fei Ye couldn't think of any good ideas, but he was certain of one thing: he'd never let Tang Li become Cang Qiuzi's son-in-law!
"It looks like we'll have to put pressure on Empress Xue," he intoned. This was a temporary measure.
Duanmu Yao had used Celestial Mountain's name to infiltrate the Chu Clan's barracks because of Cang Qiuzi's support. If they wanted to divert Cang Qiuzi's attention, that was the only way.
"This subordinate understands. This subordinate will follow up," Chu Xifeng immediately withdrew.
Han Yunxi wanted to find Tang Li, but Tang Li wasn't hiding in the courtyard at all. Instead, he'd listened to Long Fei Ye's words and fled.
Actually, Tang Li dearly wanted to hide, but he understood Tang Zijin and Aunt Ru better than Long Feiye. He was certain that the two old men would search the estate first, but if they couldn't find anything, they'd send men to surround the area within a hundred li radius and search every inch of it.
Therefore, he had to hurry and escape a hundred miles away before they carried out a carpet search. Only then would he be safe.
Currently, he'd just avoided the Tang Clan and didn't even dare to ride a horse. Instead, he was walking along the grass by the side of the road. It was spring now, so the vegetation wasn't flourishing enough to hide him.
All around him was flat ground, so there was no place for him to stay. The only thing he could do was run forward and find a place to hide. He had no idea when his pursuers would show up, but only regretted going in this direction.
Tang Li used his lightness techniques to run until he saw a carriage approaching from the distance.
"Help!" Tang Li cried out in alarm. He flipped over and landed in front of the carriage to block its path.
The carriage hastily pulled the reins to a stop. Tang Li's immortal-like white robes made him look nothing like a bandit!
"Who are you? What do you want? "the driver demanded angrily.
"This big brother, this one is a disciple of Shuangqing Mountain. Unfortunately, my horse fell ill and died along the way. This road is long and there are no villages or shops in front of me. This one has been walking for more than half a day, so I stopped you to ask for help. If I offended you, please forgive me. Shuangqing Mountain is just in front of us. We can reach there in half a day. This one is willing to pay for the carriage.
Tang Li finally stopped ruining his image!
He was dressed in a white robe and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. He was polite and elegant. He looked up after he finished speaking. At that moment, the person in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked over. He was as handsome as an immortal.
What Tang Li saw was a woman dressed as a man. Her hair was tied up neatly. Her facial features were very distinct and her figure was thin. Although she was dressed as a man, it was easy to tell that she was a woman. This was because she didn't dress as a man to hide her gender. She liked the simplicity of men's clothing and didn't like the complexity and restrictions of women's clothing.
Although she was young, her gaze was very calm. She looked exceptionally calm and capable. However, when she looked at Tang Li, her eyes were a little blurred. She revealed an unprecedented girlish look.
Although she was stronger than men, she liked handsome men since she was young. What she disliked the most were talkative and cheap men.
Soon, the girlish look in her eyes disappeared. Before Tang Li could speak, she spoke first and interrogated, "What's your name?"
Tang Li hated tomboyish women like her the most, so he couldn't figure out how Long Feiye had fallen for Han Yunxi's hands. He always felt that women were more like little birds and lovebirds.
However, in order to get a ride and hide, he continued to pretend. He answered politely, "This one's surname is Chang. My name is Li."
"Chang Li? Chang Li, Chang Li, Chang Li … "The woman muttered to herself. Finally, she commented," This name is not good. It's too sad. "
Tang Li chuckled. This laugh was just right. It was romantic but not pompous or vulgar. It was especially charming.
The woman was once again mesmerized. She asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"All meetings are long separations. Today's coincidental meeting is fate. After this farewell, we may not meet again in this life. It's a long separation. Miss, goodbye. "After Tang Li finished speaking, he pretended to bow with his hands clasped in front. He looked free and easy.
He hadn't taken a few steps when the woman called out to him, "Wait, don't you want a ride? Come up! I'll give you a ride. Then we won't be separated forever! "
