Chapter 583 Trustworthy
"Old Cao, please just say anything." The old man from the Yuan family said unevenly. When things got so bad, he had no favoritism for the Cao Tuan of the Boss, so his tone was naturally not very nice.
"In theory, I don't have the right to care about your Nan family and Yuan family." Cao Tuan smiled: "However, this is Ziyang City after all, and Cao is not talented. Everyone has to give it a thumbs up and barely take the position of the city lord. Of course, he also has to think about Ziyang City. Is that true?"
The people from the Yuan family and the Nan family remained silent. They were too lazy to pay attention to Cao Tuan. Cao Tuan deliberately leaked the news that Yuan Gang was still in Ziyang City to the demon-armed warriors, and they must have ulterior motives.
"A few adults and gentlemen believe in this friend, and this friend will not believe in this friend. If the stalemate continues, it will be of no benefit to both sides. Haha... Cao's heart has always been in a mess. If it starts in Ziyang City, I don't know how many people will suffer from the disaster." Cao's group said slowly: "It's better for everyone to discuss and let me Cao be a middleman. Brother Yuan, you will be with me and accompany this friend out of the city alone. Well... set a distance. If you go out of the city for fifty miles, this friend takes Yuan Gang away, and then I will rush back with the eldest young master. How about it?"
Su Tang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"But we have to say ugly things ahead." Cao Tuan said again: "When this friend left, please be careful not to be impatient. If you do something behind your back... or send someone to keep an eye on him, you want to take Cao's unkindness and unrighteous situation, then I can only let go."
The Yuan family and the Nan family exchanged glances with each other. The suggestion of not being able to surrender Cao's tutor should be the only way. The dispute between the two courtyards of the Yuan family has gradually come to an end, and the West Court has gained the upper hand. As the eldest son, Yuan Tianqi will definitely be the helmsman of the Yuan family in the future. He will never allow any mistakes. No one can be sure of what will happen if the stalemate continues, and he will not dare to take risks.
"You heard this friend, too?" Cao Tuan's eyes fell on Su Tang: "The Yuan family has nothing to do with me. I am just worried about the creatures in the city, so I came out to be this middleman. After leaving the city, if you betray the agreement and hurt Young Master Yuan, and make Cao have no shame to return to the city... Then Cao will never give up with you and ask for an explanation no matter what."
"Okay." Su Tang replied lightly.
The tension eased a little. The two elders of the Nan family took a few steps back. They had just started cooperation with the Yuan family. If the Yuan family mistakenly acknowledged that they didn't care about Yuan Tianqi's life and death, the negotiations these days would have to go to waste. Therefore, they retreated first to avoid Su Tang being too nervous and also gave the Yuan family a reassurance.
"Send a carriage here." Cao Tuan turned around and shouted.
After a moment, several warriors in red rushed over in a carriage, galloped closer, and tied the reins.
"This friend, let my people help me." Cao Tuan looked at Su Tang again.
"Thank you." Su Tangdao.
Several warriors in red jumped out of the carriage, helped Yuan Gang up, and carried it to the carriage. Su Tang looked at Yuan Tianqi, and Yuan Tianqi had no choice but to step slowly towards the carriage.
Among this generation of practitioners, Yuan Tianqi is not very outstanding, but he is also very outstanding. At least he has been promoted to the great ancestor. Unfortunately, he met Su Tang, and his ability is not enough for Su Tang.
Then, Su Tang got into the carriage. In the carriage, Yuan Gang and Yuan Tianqi's eyes collided. The temperature of the carriage seemed to rise instantly, and the collision of the sight seemed to have a fire.
Yuan Gang had no expression on his face and looked extremely cold, while Yuan Tianqi's eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
For the future helmsman of the Yuan family, this time being controlled by Su Tang and had to choose to cooperate is a stain that is difficult for him to erase in his life. Therefore, some must be retrieved from other aspects, such as showing his indomitableness and tenacity, showing his arrogance, etc.
Of course, he did not dare to provoke Su Tang. Su Tang's aura was so terrifying that his strength should be to catch up with Ren Yuko back then. In legend, Ren Yuko was eroded by the demonic suit and became ill-intellectual, killing people at every turn. The demonic warriors in front of him must not escape the pollution of the demonic suit. If Su Tang gets angry, the Cao Group may not have any binding force. It is better to be honest.
"San brother, are you okay?" Su Tang said softly.
"Your Excellency, do you recognize me?" Yuan Gang turned to look at Su Tang, and his eyes showed a look of surprise. The other party called him third brother, and he was naturally younger than him, but he had unfathomable strength. Even the No-Big Master Cao Group and the elders of the Nan family seemed timid. If he had seen such a young man, he would never forget it anyway.
"I've met several times." Su Tang said softly.
"I can't remember it." Yuan Gang smiled bitterly, "I've just met a few times and I'm willing to take a chance to save me, a down-and-out person... Haha, I don't thank you for your kindness, Yuan gave me a greeting to my benefactor here." After that, Yuan Gang struggled to try to stand up.
"It's not allowed." Detective Su Tang pressed Yuan Gang's shoulder with his hand: "Third brother, let's have a good rest now. There may be a lot of peace in the next few days."
Yuan Gang immediately understood Su Tang's meaning. The Nan family and Yuan family might not give up. After Yuan Tianqi returned, they were very likely to catch up. Moreover, the Cao Tuan also hinted that after walking fifty miles, Su Tang must release the people as agreed. Next, it has nothing to do with his Cao Tuan.
Yuan Gang tried hard to lift the collar of his clothes. There was a strange-shaped belt around his waist, five fingers wide, made of metal, tightly hanged around his waist.
At this time, the Cao group of the boss stepped into the carriage and saw Yuan Gang's strange belt at a glance. He looked slightly stunned, and then sighed: "The Nan family's ruthless means..."
Yuan Gang tried to untie his belt, but for some reason he encountered it, and a muffled groan in his nose and his body shook violently.
"Yuan Gang, don't move around, I'll do it." Cao Tuan said softly.
"It's time for you, Cao Dazun." Yuan Gang grinned and put his hands aside.
"What is this?" Su Tang frowned.
"The Nan family has a dragon lock bracelet, and this kind of thing is called a dragon lock belt, which is much more vicious than a dragon lock bracelet." Cao Tuan of the Forbidden Master said softly: "Even if you are a great-ranked practitioner and are entangled by this thing, you will become a useless person on the spot."
"Oh?" Su Tang found that Yuan Tianqi showed a gloating smile and turned his head to look at Yuan Tianqi. Yuan Tianqi immediately turned his head and avoided Su Tang's sight.
"There are seven steel nails in the dragon lock belt, two clamping the vertebrae, and five nailing into the spiritual source, making it impossible for practitioners to activate the spiritual veins." Cao Tuan of the Wu Laozun bent down while saying, carefully observing the dragon lock belt around Yuan Gang's waist, and then asked, "Yuan Gang, how many days has it been on the dragon lock belt?"
"One day..." Yuan Gang said gritting his teeth.
"That's fine." Cao Tuan, the boss, breathed a sigh of relief with sympathy: "If you delay for three days, your cultivation will be completely ruined."
At this time, the carriage had started, and the Cao group of the boss looked at Su Tang: "Where is this friend going?"
"Let's go south." Su Tang said.
"Go to the south gate." Cao Tuan shouted out.
"Where is this guy's second uncle?" Su Tang asked.
"You talk about that kind of brother from the Yuan family?" Cao Tuan laughed: "How dare he come in? He should follow him."
"Haha..." Su Tang sneered. His purpose this time was just to rescue Yuan Gang. If he really wanted to kill a lot, the old man from the Yuan family would not have the intention to avoid his magic sword no matter where he was hiding.
After a moment, the Cao Tuan of the Forbidden Dazun found the buckle, and with a crisp bang, the iron belt around Yuan Gang's waist finally loosened. Then, the Cao Tuan of the Forbidden Dazun carefully picked up the waist bit by bit.
On the inside of the belt, there was a steel needle about an inch long fixed. Watching the steel needles retreat one by one from Yuan Gang's body, giving people a feeling of numbness on their scalp. Yuan Gang was already sweating profusely, and blood even oozed from the corner of his mouth.
After more than thirty breaths, Cao Tuan finally took off his entire belt. When he breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Gang had already collapsed there, his clothes were stained with blood and sweat.
Su Tang took the belt from the hands of the non-Big Master Cao Tuan, observed it carefully for a moment, and asked, "How to use this thing?"
"What are you going to?" Yuan Tianqi suddenly felt his hair stand on his back and his voice went out of tune. He subconsciously thought that Su Tang was going to torture him with the dragon lock.
"This friend, we have made an appointment..." Cao Tuan frowned.
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word." Su Tang whispered: "I'm just a little curious."
Cao Tuan looked at Su Tang with a scrutiny glance, suddenly smiled, and then pointed with his fingers, "These two steel needles are stabbed from the back, it is best to stick to the spine, so that people can't move. This steel needle must be stabbed from the navel, and the other four must be stabbed into the Ling Mansion. The Ling Mansion is about three inches below the navel, and the position does not need to be nailed very accurately. If it is a little worse, it can have an effect..."
Su Tang looked at Yuan Tianqi while listening. There was a mask blocking him. Yuan Tianqi could not see Su Tang's sight, but he could see that the mask was facing him. He was shocked in his heart and his body kept shrinking back.
After almost an hour, the carriage had already left Ziyang City. Yuan Gang, who had been sleeping for a long time, returned to awakening and slowly sat up.
"Third brother, you won't blame me for being troublesome, right?" Su Tang asked softly.
"My benefactor, what do you mean?" Yuan Gang asked in confusion.
"If I don't come, you may still have room for excuse for yourself in the future. Now, the Yuan family will definitely regard you as a rebellion." Su Tang said: "If I save you, it is equivalent to harming you."
"My benefactor, Yuan is not the kind of mother-in-law and indecisive person," Yuan Gang said slowly: "I have used the dragon lock belt for me, why are you still defending me? Hehe, they walked through their Yangguan Road, I passed my single-plank bridge, from now on, I will have nothing to do with the Yuan family."
"It sounds nice," Yuan Tianqi sneered: "Do you think of yourself as the Yuan family?"
"No one treats you as a mute if you don't speak." Su Tang frowned and said, "No matter how hard I dare to talk nonsense, I can only let you suffer."
When he heard Su Tang's words, let alone Yuan Tianqi, he even felt nervous even when he was not bossy Cao's group and kept winking at Yuan Tianqi's messenger.
Yuan Tianqi had no choice but to close his eyes, lean against the wall of the car, and stop talking.
Su Tang took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a bright yellow, fragrant pill, and handed it to Yuan.
Yuan Gang reached out to take it, then was stunned: "Is this... Divine Marrow Pill?"
"You are injured, the Divine Marrow Pill has the effect of replenishing marrow and concentrating the mind. Take it now, I will protect the Dharma for you." Su Tang said.
"My benefactor, this... this is impossible..." Yuan Gang tried to return the Divine Marrow Pill to Su Tang.
"If you want to eat, just eat it." Su Tang said: "To me, a friend told me that using this kind of thing to mix the magic elixir will have better results." After that, Su Tang took out another skin bag, searched left and right, took out a teacup from the drawer at the wall of the car, then poured a cup of honey inside and handed it to Yuan Gang.
In fact, the value of honey and divine elixir is not on the same plane. The divine elixir is the main medicine that practitioners start to take after entering the realm of the Great Ancestor. Honey is brewed by a holy bee and is called a small spiritual pulp. In the words of another world, the small spiritual pulp is the most advanced cheating magic medicine. After taking it by a great practitioner who has entered the holy level, his spiritual conscious can become more refined and stronger. After taking it by an ordinary practitioner, he can greatly improve his spiritual power and even completely change his qualifications.
Qualifications and insights are inherently difficult to change. Xiaolingzhu and Zizhilan are the only herbs in the world that can improve qualifications. The effect of Xiaolingzhu is much stronger than Zizhilan, but it has been extinct for countless years. Now it is only recorded in various sects.
Yuan Gang took the teacup and looked at it for a while. He couldn't recognize what it was. He could only smell a sweet fragrance that made people feel refreshed.
"My benefactor, what is this?" Yuan Gang asked. He was not afraid that Su Tang would harm him. He must ask clearly because he had to figure out what he owed and how much he owed?
"My friend said, this is Xiao Lingjiu." Su Tang said.
Yuan Gang suddenly stiffened there, and Cao Tuan also widened his eyes in horror. Only Yuan Tianqi's reaction was quite steady. He was just stunned for a moment, then burst out with a slight laugh, and then his eyes showed fear again, fearing that Su Tang would punish him, so he lowered his head and hurried in the corner of the carriage.
"My benefactor, this..." Yuan Gang stumbled. Su Tang's gift was too expensive and he couldn't bear it. He was just twice as heavy as the Little Spirit Porridge? I'm afraid even the holy level practitioners would go crazy about it, right?
If Yuan Gang knew that Su Tang had always treated Xiaolingjiu as a drink, he would have gone crazy
"Recover the wound first, let's talk about it later." Su Tang said softly. He was so generous because he always had apologies to Yuan Hailong. It can be said that he was not helping Yuan Gang, but resolving his regrets.
Yuan Gang looked at the teacup blankly. After a long time, he seemed to have made some decision. He gritted his teeth and poured all the small spiritual juice in the teacup into his mouth.
The boss Cao Tuan on the side was a little unable to sit still. He hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help saying, "Can this little spiritual juice be evenly given to Cao? Don't worry, Cao won't ask for it for nothing. There are a few divine elixirs and a few dust pills here. Cao only needs half a cup of it."
The three people had different attitudes. Yuan Gang had no doubts. Yuan Tianqi did not believe it at all, and he did not believe it at all. He thought for a long time and chose to believe it because there was no need for Su Tang to lie like this.
Su Tang paused and took out the skin containing the little spirit slurry again. Cao Tuan stood up as if he was electrocuted. Then he took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out all the elixirs inside. There were three light yellow elixirs in total. Then he threw the elixirs to Yuan Gang without hesitation, and handed the white small porcelain bottle to Su Tang.
Su Tang filled the small porcelain vase and then handed it to the tyrant Cao Tuan. Cao Tuan took the small porcelain vase very carefully, sniffed it gently, and his pupils flashed.
The Divine Marrow Pill is an extremely precious pill, but now it seems to have become a junk product. Yuan Gang ignored the Divine Marrow Pill thrown by the boss Cao Tuan and licked it very seriously in the cup with his tongue. Such a precious thing, even if it is just a waste, is an unforgivable serious crime.
Only Yuan Tianqi looked at the unnoticed divine elixirs with jealous eyes.
After a moment, Cao Tuan took out another porcelain bottle and handed it to Su Tang: "There are four dust pills here. I know that this thing cannot be exchanged for Little Spirit Pills. Well... I'll do this. I still have a few fortune pills in my family. My friend will come to the Cao family to find me next time I come to Ziyang City."
"No, I still have something to ask for later." Su Tang said lightly.
"Is there anything else?" Cao Tuan was stunned and slowly put down the small porcelain vase in his hand. Then he said seriously: "As the saying goes, no one can stand without trust, Cao doesn't care about anything else, but he can't bear to give up this little reputation. Please don't make things difficult for me."
"Zhu Cao is so worried." Su Tang said: "Or... I underestimated me too much. I want to kill him, so there is no need to do anything here. When he returns to Ziyang City, I can chase him again, so why bother to leave a bad reputation?
"That's good." The expression of the boss-dog Cao Tuan relaxed, and then he picked up the small porcelain bottle.
A few hours later, the carriage slowly stopped beside a forest. The Cao group was the first to get out of the carriage. Looking back, the old man from the Yuan family was falling from the air.
Yuan Tianqi was the second to get out of the carriage, but Su Tang did not stop him. Yuan Tianqi suppressed his excitement of seeing the light of the sky again and slowly walked towards the old man.
The old man met Yuan Tianqi, and the two of them whispered a few words, then turned around and walked slowly towards the distance.
"Okay, they're leaving." Captain Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cao Dazun, can you lend me a few people? I want to send my third brother to a place." Su Tang said softly.
"Oh?" Cao Tuan paused and said to the Red Yi warriors without hesitation: "You guys, from now on, must obey this friend's orders. Before the mission is completed, you must not see me or come back to deliver letters. Do you understand what I mean?"
The warriors in red exchanged glances with each other and said in unison: "Yes."
"You are going to stop the pursuers, right?" Cao Tuan looked at Su Tang: "No wonder... No wonder you said Xiao Lingyu in front of Yuan Tianqi and let him go... It turned out to be to attract their attention. Yuan Gang is really lucky to have a friend like you."
