Ch 55: Tang Wanshu Of The Tang Clan
“This……”
The assassin wielding the knife was filled with disbelief.
He looked at his chest, already stained crimson, his consciousness growing increasingly blurry.
The next moment, he died on the spot.
This scene shocked everyone present.
This strong assassin wielding a knife was a Gold Medal Assassin of the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion, a Strong Person of the Profound Connection Realm! Such a strong person, was actually killed in one move?
Another assassin wielding a chain also changed his expression. He glanced in the direction of Li Hanzhou’s carriage, then cupped his fists and said, “Senior, this matter is between the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion and this couple. We hope Senior will not interfere, lest you invite unnecessary trouble.”
“Three breaths. Leave.”
“Otherwise, you die.”
Li Hanzhou’s voice came.
“Has Senior considered this?” the chain-wielding assassin asked cautiously.
“Three.”
Li Hanzhou slowly uttered a single word.
“Damn it!”
The chain-wielding assassin’s face changed instantly. Li Hanzhou was being unscrupulous!
He had promised three breaths of time, but the word ‘three’ was his only reply!
As he turned to run, he felt a chill attack him, a bone-chilling chill that made him feel as if his marrow had frozen!
His legs wouldn’t move.
“Break!”
He swung the chain in his hand, severing his right leg, then leaped off the cliff into the rushing river below.
“That’s ruthless.” Li Hanzhou was somewhat surprised.
“Thank you, Senior, for your life-saving grace.” At this time, the couple came to the front of the carriage and bowed respectfully to Li Hanzhou.
“It’s cold outside, and your wife is pregnant. Come into the carriage.” Li Hanzhou dared not let a pregnant woman stay out in the rain.
“Thank you, Senior.”
The couple rejoiced and boarded the carriage.
But after getting into the carriage, they were even more surprised.
They had thought that such a strong person as Li Hanzhou would surely have a full beard and be an elderly Old Man.
Yet, looking at Li Hanzhou, he was merely a middle-aged man in his thirties. This made them rather disbelieving. When did Dongyan Province have such a young Expert?
With a flick of his wrist, he had killed one and wounded another Expert of the Profound Connection Realm. His cultivation level was at least Heavenly Gang Realm.
But they had no impression of him.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives.” The man clasped his fists and said, “I am Tang Wanshu of the Tang Sect, and this is my wife, Lang Xiaoyun.”
“A person from the Tang Sect?”
Li Hanzhou was somewhat surprised, and he asked the couple to sit down.
“I’m not any Senior. I’m just a fortune teller.” Li Hanzhou pointed to Ping Jin Fan beside him.
“A fortune teller?”
The couple looked at Li Hanzhou’s Ping Jin Fan in surprise. They had thought he was some sect leader, but he was a fortune teller.
Dongyan Province actually had such a powerful fortune teller.
“Sir, I have an unreasonable request, and I hope you will grant it.” Suddenly, Tang Wanshu spoke to Li Hanzhou solemnly.
“Speak.” Li Hanzhou roughly guessed what it was.
“Sir, you saved our lives today, so I won’t hide anything from you. Although I am a member of the Tang Sect, I am also a person of the Imperial Court. Years ago, I was sent by the Ninth Prince to infiltrate the Great Zhou Kingdom. Recently, I discovered a very important piece of intelligence, but I was unfortunately discovered by the Great Zhou people. My wife and I fought our way back, but unexpectedly, the Great Zhou people hired the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion to hunt us down.”
“Sir, would you please escort us? This intelligence is extremely important to the Divine Palace!” Tang Wanshu finished speaking and knelt before Li Hanzhou.
“Please, Sir, help us.” Lang Xiaoyun also knelt down.
“Get up.” Li Hanzhou couldn’t bear to see a pregnant woman kneeling before him. He raised his hand, and a Qi Wave lifted them both.
“You are the Ninth Prince’s people?” Li Hanzhou asked.
“Yes.” The couple nodded.
“Ninth Prince Yu Qingyang. I had met him before. It’s quite a coincidence. Last time, Yu Qingyang was also chased by the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion and I saved him. Now, I’ve saved you both from the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion as well. This is truly fate.” Li Hanzhou thought that sometimes fate was quite interesting.
“Sir saved His Highness?” The couple were startled.
“Yes, a minor matter.” Li Hanzhou nodded.
“Escorting you is fine, but I also have my own request. I’m going to Lingyan City, to the Great Zhou Kingdom, and I can only take you part of the way.” Li Hanzhou told Tang Wanshu.
“Good. Once we reach Tianxia Pass, there will be a Tang Sect branch, and Tang Sect Experts will escort us back.” Tang Wanshu nodded repeatedly.
“Shi Ming, let’s go.” Li Hanzhou said to Shi Ming outside.
“Okay.”
Shi Ming drove the carriage away.
“Sir, I have nothing to repay you. This is our Tang Sect’s 《Poison Scripture》. You may take it to study.” Tang Wanshu took a book from his Storage Bag and gave it to Li Hanzhou.
“This is your Tang Sect’s Thing. Is it alright?” Li Hanzhou couldn’t help asking.
“Sir, rest assured. There’s no major problem.” Tang Wanshu shook his head.
“Thank you then.” Li Hanzhou looked at the Poison Scripture and thought, “Your Tang Sect’s Thousand Life Ghost Lotus is still in my possession.”
Li Hanzhou had been hesitating whether or not to return this item to the Tang Sect.
After all, it was their Treasured Artifact of the Sect.
But on second thought, giving it back to the Tang Sect was fine, but how could he explain it?
If they thought he had stolen it, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
After returning the Azure Dragon Hundred Flames to Sun Yaoxian, Li Hanzhou estimated that Sun Yaoxian would have discovered it upon his return, and would probably curse him behind his back.
He would deal with the Thousand Life Ghost Lotus matter later.
Li Hanzhou was very interested in the Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons, and along the way, he chatted with Tang Wanshu a lot and learned a lot about the Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons.
In the late afternoon.
Everyone felt hungry, and the rain had stopped. They got out of the carriage, found a clean place, and Li Hanzhou took out the Materials for Shi Ming to cook.
Shi Ming’s cooking skills were quite good, having learned from Li Hanzhou’s tutelage.
Tang Wanshu and his wife were chatting with Li Hanzhou, but after a short while, they smelled a very strong aroma.
This aroma directly pierced their noses.
The couple had been fleeing for their lives recently and hadn’t eaten properly. Especially Lang Xiaoyun, who was pregnant and naturally hungrier than usual. The smell was unbearable.
“What smells so good!”
Following the direction of the aroma, they saw that Shi Ming was actually grilling lamb skewers.
Li Hanzhou had prepared the lamb skewers before setting out and brought cumin, chili powder, and other seasonings.
The aroma was soul-stirring!
The oily lamb, grilled to a perfect crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with cumin and chili powder added, the Fragrance Spreads Ten Thousand Miles.
Even a Sword Immortal couldn’t resist!
