At night, there were few pedestrians on the road in Yunjing City. Ling Li had prepared for this. No outsider could see them on the road.
In a twinkling of an eye, the carriage stopped outside a big house.
Su Li looked up and saw the words "Tang's Mansion". Even in the dim moonlight, it was still shining.
Prime Minister Tang's Mansion?!
Su Li was slightly shocked. Why did Ling Li come here with great fanfare?
The followers of the Yinmo Cult didn't hide their tracks. The movement outside was soon discovered by the people of Prime Minister Tang's Mansion. The timid gatekeeper saw the dense crowd outside through the crack of the door. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He immediately went to report.
At this moment, Ling Qinglan's disguised voice came through the wall into the mansion. It was clear and loud.
"The Hierarch of the Hidden Sacred Cult is here. Why doesn't the owner of the mansion come out to meet him?!"
Prime Minister Tang, who had fallen asleep, was awakened. He had no time to put on his clothes. He only wore a white shirt and opened the door. The panicked gatekeeper immediately fell in and said, "Master, it's bad! There are many people in black outside. They have surrounded the mansion! "
Prime Minister Tang heard it, but he didn't panic. He was a senior who had experienced two dynasties. He was calm in the face of danger. He called the butler and said, "Hurry up. Arrange Madam and others to leave through the secret passage!"
The butler smiled bitterly and said, "Master, the secret passage suddenly collapsed a few days ago. It is being repaired. Now even a sparrow can't get out, let alone Madam and others!"
"What?!"
Prime Minister Tang was horrified. His lips couldn't help trembling, "When did it collapse? Why didn't you tell me before it was so important? "
The butler was puzzled and said, "Isn't it your order to repair the secret passage? How … "
Prime Minister Tang's body trembled violently and he couldn't stop staggering. If the housekeeper hadn't come forward to help him, he would have fallen down.
"Master, we …"
The butler looked worried. Prime Minister Tang waved his hand weakly and sighed, "I'm fine. Open the door to welcome the distinguished guests."
"Yes, Master."
The butler ran to the door anxiously. Prime Minister Tang followed him slowly. He was expressionless.
Obviously, they came prepared. In this case, it was a blessing, not a curse. If it was a curse, they couldn't avoid it, so there was no need to struggle.
Boom boom —
The tall and heavy door was pushed open by the two gatekeepers, producing a heavy sound that was unusually ear-piercing in the quiet night.
Seeing this scene, Ling Li waved his hand, and the man who carried the jade chariot immediately walked in. Ling Mo and Ling Qinglan were on each side of the chariot. Prime Minister Tang was shocked by such a situation.
The two red figures on the carriage were covered by a curtain, so he couldn't see them clearly. But the people on both sides of the carriage were easy to recognize. They were two generals of the Yinmo Cult, Qinghu and Xuelou.
There was no need to guess who was qualified to sit in the carriage.
The Hierarch of the Yinmo Cult, Childe Li!
"I am Prime Minister Tang. Greetings, Sect Leader Li!"
Prime Minister Tang said and was about to kneel down with the help of the butler. The Hierarch of a big sect was no less than the king of a country like Dongfang Xiao. It was not inappropriate for him to kneel down to greet him.
"Haha …"
Hearty laughter came from the chariot, and a gentle voice sounded, "Mr. Tang, you don't have to be so polite. It would be bad if Dongfang Xiao misunderstood you."
Hearing this, Su Li's eyes flickered, and she seemed to understand something.
Prime Minister Tang found that there was a force under his knees when he was kneeling halfway. He couldn't kneel down no matter how hard he tried. He immediately straightened up, but he was inexplicably frightened.
He was not afraid of Childe Li's martial force, but his intention!
So many people of the Yinmo Cult appeared in the Tang Mansion. If there were no casualties in the Tang Mansion, the Dongfang Family would know about it. According to Dongfang Xiao's suspicious character, how could the Tang Mansion end well?
The expression change on Prime Minister Tang's face couldn't escape Ling Li's eyes. He still laughed, and a slightly flat voice came into Prime Minister Tang's ears,
"It seems that Mr. Tang is a sensible person. I don't want to keep you guessing. This King has come here personally to inquire about something. If Old Mister's answer can satisfy this King, perhaps I can guarantee the safety of your Tang Residence. "
Prime Minister Tang snorted and said in a low voice, "You set me up like this. How can I trust your sect?!"
"No, no, no. Mr. Tang misunderstood."
Ling Li stretched out his hand and waved. Ling Mo immediately rushed into the backyard with people in Prime Minister Tang's frightened look. After a scream of fear, all the womenfolk of the Tang Mansion were gathered in the front yard. They were controlled by the Yinmo Cult and shivered.
Among them, Tang Lei was the one who shook the most. His fat shook quite rhythmically. The teenager next to him, who seemed to be one or two years younger than Tang Lei, was not much better. Although he tried to maintain a gloomy and calm face, his face was pale like a piece of paper.
Su Li covered her mouth and chuckled. She thought that if Tang Lei continued to shake like this, he might lose a lot of fat.
This time, Ling Li accurately grasped Prime Minister Tang's weakness, so there was no possibility of failure. Therefore, in Prime Minister Tang's view, "Hierarch Li" seemed to be a devil who killed people without blinking. But in fact, Ling Li would not kill anyone.
The Third Elder had been paying attention to Su Li's movements. Seeing that she could still laugh, he was a little relieved. Although this woman was a mortal, she was indeed extraordinary. It was the best for the holy cult that she could accept the fighting and killing in the martial arts circle.
Prime Minister Tang's face was pale. He scolded himself for being stupid. He even tried to trust a devil.
It didn't matter if he died alone. But all the lineal relatives of the Tang Mansion were here. If they were really killed by the Yinmo Cult, the Tang Family would be dead. How could he explain to the ancestors of the Tang Family after he died?
Soon, Prime Minister Tang gave up the inner struggle and relaxed. He accepted his fate and said, "Hierarch Li, what do you want to ask?"
"Mr. Tang, you are really sensible."
Ling Li praised and then asked, "Fourteen years ago, you were the Minister of the Ministry of Penalty. So, you should know a lot about the extermination of the Yi Family."
When Prime Minister Tang heard "fourteen years ago", his face immediately changed. The words "Minister of the Ministry of Penalty" and "Yi Family" were taboo for him.
Tang Lei looked at Prime Minister Tang in confusion. His grandfather used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Penalty. Why didn't he know?
"This matter should have nothing to do with your cult. Why are you interested in a matter that happened fourteen years ago?" Prime Minister Tang took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
"I don't need a reason to do things. Even if I have a reason, you are not qualified to inquire about it. So, it's wise to tell me who killed the Yi Family while I am in a good mood. "
Ling Li's words were extremely arrogant. It was obvious that he didn't take anyone in the Tang Mansion seriously.
The teenager beside Tang Lei was so angry that he even forgot his fear. But his reason told him that it was better not to talk back.
Ling Li was indeed qualified to be arrogant.
Prime Minister Tang was silent and fell into endless struggle.
Ling Li stopped Ling Qinglan from asking questions several times. He waited slowly. At this time, he couldn't be anxious. If the people in the Tang Mansion found out, they couldn't ask anything.
Prime Minister Tang's expression changed. From time to time, he looked at his wife and children who were full of hope. But if he said it and Dongfang Xiao knew it, the Tang Family couldn't escape death. Besides, they would be engraved with the crime of treason, which would bring shame to the family!
"Mr. Tang, you have to think clearly. If you don't say it, you will also be regarded as a thorn in the side of the Dongfang Family. If I add fuel to the fire, you can imagine the result. If you say it, the result will be completely different … "
Ling Li continued to persuade Prime Minister Tang patiently. This sentence was exactly what Prime Minister Tang wanted.
That was right!
The Dahan Country had been infiltrated by the Yinmo Cult for a long time. If the Yinmo Cult took advantage of today's event to publicize it, all the vows he made in front of Dongfang Xiao would be invalid!
The Tang Family was not the retainer of the Dongfang Family. He just kept his mouth shut to save his life. Now, did he want to keep the secret and go to hell?!
"I will say it!"
After saying it, Prime Minister Tang seemed to put down a heavy burden, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched out. He said, "I believe that Hierarch Li, who is famous in the martial arts circle, will not deceive me."
"Prime Minister Tang is really sensible!"
Ling Li chuckled and signaled Ling Mo. Ling Mo immediately understood and took all the women and children of the Tang Family back to the backyard to guard.
At the same time, he also took Su Li's hand and got off the jade carriage. Their red clothes were like fire. They looked like a couple who had just gotten married.
"It turns out that Hierarch's wife is also here. I'm really scared."
Prime Minister Tang was surprised and quickly saluted. It was said that Childe Li had no wife in Jianghu. In this way, he was the first outsider to know this information. He couldn't help but feel a sense of honor.
Su Li nodded slightly to return the salute. Prime Minister Tang's indifferent reaction was expected.
The Third Elder also nodded secretly. It was rare for an ordinary person of the Dahan Country to be so calm in front of the Prime Minister of the country. He believed that even if she met Dongfang Xiao, what she did would not bring shame to the cult. She was worthy of the title of "the hostess of the holy cult".
Soon, Prime Minister Tang, Ling Li and Su Li sat in the front hall. Except for Ling Qinglan who stood behind Ling Li to listen, Ling Mo and the Third Elder didn't come in. They just guarded outside the door in case of accidents.
"Hierarch Li and Madam are really in love with each other."
Prime Minister Tang saw that Ling Li was unwilling to let go of his hand and sighed. He was a little too relaxed at the moment and didn't have much fear in front of the notorious devil.
Ling Li coughed and acquiesced to what Prime Minister Tang said. He didn't dare to see Su Li's reaction and changed the topic, "Mr. Tang, let's talk about the Yi Family."
"Okay."
