Just as the crossbow bolt was fired, Song Tangxue kicked a pebble at her feet, causing it to collide with the bolt. His plan failed, and Hu Ge then noticed that Song Tangxue had actually hidden to the side.
Just when I was worried about not being able to find Song Tangxue, she delivered herself to my door. Xie Qianzhong was too busy to deal with her, so it would be no problem for me to win her over.
Song Tangxue was no pushover either. She smashed a lot of gilded wooden tables, and the damage inside the room amounted to at least tens of thousands of taels of gold. Tiger was getting annoyed. He thought he could subdue her within a week, but it had been almost an incense stick's time and he still hadn't even touched her.
Song Tangxue quickly dodged, using her size advantage to prevent him from getting close to her each time.
Tiger picked up the crossbow bolt again and aimed it at Song Tangxue. The archer was shot out, and Song Tangxue had no time to dodge. She closed her eyes tightly, thinking that she was going to be seriously injured this time.
"You think you can kill her?" Just then, she was pulled into someone's arms, and a deep voice came from behind.
The man wore a strange mask and a black robe. If it weren't for the strange smell, one would really think he was Xie Qianzhong.
Zhan Ming was furious. He had been busy with some matters these past few days and hadn't been able to stay by Song Tangxue's side. How dare they take advantage of this time to attack her? They really had ignored all the words they had said before. Song Tangxue was indispensable for the subsequent cooperation, and these fools almost ruined his grand plan!
"Third Master..."
Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw this person.
They may not have met Zhan Ming, but they must have heard his legend. He single-handedly took on the entire gang and escaped unscathed. This story had already spread far and wide. All they knew about the Wei Hu Gang was that he would wear a ghost mask when he appeared.
As for their names and even what they looked like, they had no idea. This mask had a very strong deterrent effect on them, and this time no one dared to continue.
"This is really interesting. Although I haven't been to the Tiger Gang for a long time, you should have heard of me. I have a bad temper and I hold grudges, especially when someone hurts someone I care about."
It was obvious who he was referring to as the person he cared about. In fact, Song Tangxue only suffered some superficial injuries, but they were particularly glaring to Zhan Ming.
Tiger was unwilling to give up, seeing that he was about to succeed: "Third Master, what kind of bewitching potion has this girl given you? She's having an affair with Xie Qianzhong, you absolutely cannot fall for her!"
Song Tangxue was stunned. How could he possibly see that Zhan Ming was in love with Song Tangxue? He was perfectly clear that their relationship was based solely on cooperation, and that he needed her to fight against the imperial forces and even take action against the Right Chancellor.
The reason Zhan Ming didn't let himself die was simple: he hadn't used him enough yet, and he still had value to him. That was all.
A mocking smile appeared on Zhan Ming's lips beneath his mask. The next moment, Tiger Brother crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood. He stared in shock as the man in front of him walked up to him and crushed his hand.
"If it weren't for me, the Tiger Gang wouldn't exist. Now it seems you have no reason to exist either." With a swift stroke, Tiger Brother stopped breathing. This scene terrified everyone. Weren't they all from the same gang? Why would he attack someone from the Tiger Gang?
When Zhan Ming looked at the others, they all took a step back in unison. The boy in front of them was too terrifying. He exuded a dangerous aura. He was clearly smiling, but it made them shudder.
"Shall we continue?"
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that one person's aura could overwhelm a hundred people. No one dared to continue fighting and they quickly fled to different places. From this day forward, the Tiger Gang ceased to exist.
Just as Zhan Ming was about to say something to Song Tangxue, Xie Qianzhong blocked their way: "Who are you?"
"Get out of the way." Zhan Ming was in a bad mood. He had only come here to discuss the next steps with Song Tangxue, but he kept wasting time.
"No way." Xie Qianzhong's imposing aura startled the Wei Hu Gang members who hadn't yet left, causing them to hasten their departure.
Seeing that Zhan Ming and Song Tangxue seemed quite familiar with each other, and that other men had noticed her while she wasn't by her side, it wasn't surprising that Song Tangxue was so outstanding that she attracted them. After all, not just anyone could stand by her side.
The two of them suddenly started fighting right in front of Song Tangxue, and the whole house collapsed instantly. They were still not satisfied and were determined to kill each other.
Song Tangxue had a headache: "Stop right now!"
They fought all the way into the street, attracting many people to peek out from behind their doors. The two had already exchanged hundreds of blows, but neither had gained the upper hand.
Song Tangxue decided to ignore it. Since they wanted to fight, she would let them continue until one side won and the fight would stop. So Song Tangxue made a very unkind decision and left first.
...
An hour later.
Both of them were covered in injuries and glared at each other resentfully. Xie Qianzhong was in slightly better condition, at least his clothes were intact.
"I'm warning you, don't go near Song Tangxue again, or I'll beat you every time you do it!"
Zhan Ming was also full of frustration. He just wanted to talk to Song Tangxue about something, but he didn't succeed. He even got into a fight with someone. More importantly, he couldn't beat him. As the leader of the Dark Gate, there were very few people who could defeat him. Just who was this person?
"I have important business to discuss with Miss Song, so why don't we hear if she'd be willing to speak with me alone?"
When they saw the words "Zhan Ming plus the key," they realized that Song Tangxue was no longer there. It was completely dark, and they had been fighting for more than an hour.
"Don't let me see you again!" Xie Qianzhong quickly left and went back to his residence to find Song Tangxue.
This was a time when many important events occurred in the imperial court. For example, the Vice Minister of War suddenly fell ill, leaving the military forces leaderless. As a last resort, the troops were temporarily placed under the control of his daughter, Gu Xue.
Gu Xuegang was in charge of the troops, and many soldiers were unwilling to be disciplined by a woman. However, since the token was in her hands, they could only swallow their anger. They petitioned the current emperor to replace her with someone else.
Secondly, the Right Chancellor was secretly plotting with high-ranking officials in the court, which was discovered by the Emperor. As a result, he was imprisoned to await punishment. Recently, the court has been quite lively, with all civil and military officials feeling insecure, fearing that they will be the next to be investigated.
Just then, the Left Prime Minister suddenly announced his return to the capital, causing a stir throughout the city. The Emperor decided to hold another banquet that night to congratulate Xie Qianzhong on his successful return.
He looked worried and hadn't had a proper rest in days. Xie Qianzhong's return to the court was probably the best course of action. There were no capable soldiers in the court now, and everyone harbored disloyal intentions.
