Chapter 238 – A Crisis From All Sides (1/2)
Chapter 238 – A Crisis From All Sides
Tang Tang had a lost expression on her face.
After thinking for a few seconds, she then said unhappily: “How did I screw you over? How did I cause a huge disaster? I was helping you out yet you don’t appreciate it. If it wasn’t me making an appearance, you would’ve started fighting with the officials already. Do you even know the consequences of killing government officials in Heavenly Sword City?”
She was helping Luo Tian.
At least that was what she was thinking.
Feng Lei and Xuan Yuanyi also thought this was the case as well.
Luo Tian smiled while shaking his head. “What you did will only make this matter even more complicated. It’s actually easier for me to just kill them all in one go. Do you really think a single word from you and that surnamed Liu won’t say a thing?”
“I’m afraid this very moment he has already left northern city towards the imperial palace to report it.”
“Taking out your jade plate means revealing your identity. It won’t be long before a large group of Palace Guards will be rushing here. There’ll probably be a large swath of experts from the Great Tang as well. You’ll be fine but we’ll be dying because of you.”
“We have all become the culprits involved in kidnapping the Princess.”
“Sigh…”
Luo Tian knows that Tang Tang only wanted to help him.
But he would rather kill Liu Tingyu and all his people instead of having her take out her jade plate and revealing her identity.
It was very clear that…
The news of her being in the northern city would quickly spread. At that time, not only would the government know, there were also people of the Sea Cloud Sect and maybe even some assassins would rush over. They will all be thrown into quite a difficult mess by that time.
These types of issues could easily be deduced when someone puts a little effort into their thoughts, but Tang Tang…
Women….
Was their intelligence really affected if they had large breasts?
“Princess?!”
“Princess?!”
Feng Lei and Xuan Yuanyi looked at Tang Tang with shock.
They both then asked in unison: “Boss, she’s the Princess you kidnapped?”
Luo Tian rolled his eyes at them before saying to Tang Tang: “You are the Princess so no one will dare to do anything to you, but we’re different. You ran away because you wanted to avoid your marriage so even if you explained that to your father, it will still be hard for us to escape our deaths.”
“The reason is that someone needs to be responsible for such a big incident and we happen to be the sacrifice.”
Tang Tang had run away from a forced marriage.
And the Great Tangy Dynasty didn’t want to offend the Sea Cloud Sect.
Therefore, someone needs to be held responsible. The entire city knows the Princess was kidnapped so Luo Tian and company were the perfect sacrificial lambs.
In order to appease the Sea Cloud Sect, Luo Tian and company will have to die.
Except…
Luo Tian didn’t know that the moment he and Tang Tang entered the city, their presence was already made known. Every movement they have made thus far had been taken notice of by an expert in the depths of the imperial palace.
It’s unknown why…
The Great Tang’s Emperor didn’t send anyone over, which is worth pondering over!
Hearing Luo Tian’s logical deductions, Tang Tang’s head flopped down a bit while her small mouth formed a pout. She was just like a child who had done something wrong. “I’m sorry; I didn’t think that far ahead. I only wanted to help you… I’m sorry.”
Since things had come to this point, Luo Tian didn’t want to continue blaming her. After all, Tang Tang was intending to help him. Luo Tian faintly smiled and said: “Never mind, let’s go back and finish our dinner. The food will get cold if we don’t eat it now.”
“En!”
Tang Tang nodded and didn’t dare to look Luo Tian in the eye because she was still a bit scared.
Tang Tang went back into the house.
A frown appeared on Luo Tian’s face, “Xuan Yuanyi, you will guard this place tonight.”
Xuan Yuanyi nodded and said: “Understood!”
Luo Tian then looked at Feng Lei and asked: “Fatty, where’s An Chunchun?”
Feng Lei responded with a faint startlement: “Staying where I currently live. She was so happy when she found out you had arrived in Heavenly Sword City and… she should be sleeping at this time.”
Luo Tian was somewhat reassured and said: “We’ll bring her back here in a bit. I’m afraid this location isn’t a place we should stay for too long now. We need to make some preparations and send An Chunchun away before morning comes. There’s also your subordinates – those that can leave should all leave. There’s no use for them to stay around and accompany us to their deaths.”
“En!”
Feng Lei nodded.
Luo Tian looked up at the dark night sky and felt a sense of thick murderous intent.
———–
Just like Luo Tian deduced…
Liu Tingyu was in deep thought as he retreated.
Suddenly…
Luo Tian’s appearance looked kind of familiar and was plaguing his mind. Only when he reached the entrance to his house did he finally realize who he was. He was the criminal wanted for kidnapping the Princess, which meant the Princess was in his hands!
