Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 351 Zhongzhou Family

Tang Jinglan was just the opposite. She asked enthusiastically, as if she had met a fellow villager, "Are you also from Zhongzhou?"

"Zhongzhou? Why Zhongzhou?" Ji Anni wondered, is Tang Jingqing's father very famous in Zhongzhou? Thinking about it this way, it seems that she has really heard of a place like Zhongzhou somewhere.

By the way, Shui Furong's father seems to be the governor of Cangzhou, and Liu Yingying's father is the governor of Qingzhou. In addition to the two of them, there is another famous family that is ranked among the three dukes and the eight great families, that is the Tang family, the governor of Zhongzhou. Just now, the waiter said that Wumu Escort Agency has the support of "Duke Tang". I guess the "Duke Tang" he mentioned refers to Governor Tang.

And this Governor Tang is most likely the "Tang Shibing" that Long Mohan asked about just now.

So, this myopic Tang Jingqing, could it be that he is the son of Governor Tang? Ji Anni was almost choked by her own inference. I wonder if I have any artifact that can summon royal relatives, otherwise why can I run into rich children wherever I go? Now that the emperor is in trouble, I wonder if this young master Tang can use his family's advantages to save them?

As Ji Anni thought about it, she turned her gaze to Long Mohan beside her.

Long Mohan pursed his lips tightly, as if he didn't want to reveal a word about his identity, and he was even less willing to ask the Tang family for help.

Maybe it's not that he doesn't want to ask for help, but he is too disappointed with Tang Jinglan, who is so slow to react. He doesn't want to say anything more, for fear that the other party will do something bad with good intentions and make things worse.

"Take the arrow and leave quickly. Don't talk nonsense here." Long Mohan pulled out the other arrow stuck in the bed and put it into Tang Jinglan's hand, and drove the guest away directly. Ji Anni and Tang Jinglan had just pulled out the arrow with great effort, but Long Mohan pulled it out easily, and Ji Anni was dumbfounded.

"Oh, oh..." Tang Jinglan took the arrow in her hand in a daze, not knowing how she had offended Long Mohan to make the other party's attitude become so bad.

Seeing Tang Jinglan was about to leave, Ji Anni followed him as usual to see him off. But after just two steps, she was stopped by Long Mohan.

"Why are you following him? Are you very familiar with him?" Long Mohan was very narrow-minded when it came to matters between men and women, and he hadn't come to terms with the fact that Ji Annie had been molested just now.

"A guest is a guest. Can't I see you off?" Ji Anni had never been educated in the three obediences and four virtues since she was a child. When Long Mohan controlled her, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Don't talk to strange men in the future, don't open the door for strange men, and don't follow strange men out." Regardless of whether there were outsiders present, Long Mohan directly made three major demands to Ji Anni. It was said that the husband's discipline of his wife was a bit too much, and the brother's restraint on his sister was a bit too rigid. It was more like a father's three rules for his adolescent daughter.

Tang Jinglan looked at the furious Long Mohan for a while, and then looked at Ji Anni who was furious for a while, secretly speculating about their relationship. Maybe they are lovers? Maybe they are siblings? Maybe they are father and daughter? They are somewhat similar, but also somewhat different. Seeing that the two of them were about to get angry, Tang Jinglan kindly advised: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel over me."

After saying this, she smiled shyly, which made Long Mohan break out in a cold sweat. He shouted, "Who said we were fighting because of you!"

Stop flattering yourself. Long Mohan's disgust towards Tang Jinglan is rising sharply.

Ji Annie stood aside awkwardly, not knowing how to stop the fight. She just hoped that Long Mohan would not take revenge on her and make things difficult for the Tang family in political affairs.

When Tang Jinglan was scolded by Long Mohan, she immediately turned her head slightly like Cinderella who was abused by her stepmother. Her aggrieved expression made it seem as if she was about to cry.

Ji Annie was afraid that he would really anger Long Mohan, so she hurriedly pushed him out the door and said, "It's getting late, you'd better go back and report. Remember to replace the arrowhead with a suction cup next time you shoot arrows, so as not to hurt innocent people by mistake." She didn't know what the people from the Ebony Escort Agency were thinking. How dare they let him practice shooting with real arrows?

Tang Jinglan waved her hands solemnly and said, "You can't change it, you can't change it. If you change it, I won't be able to find the arrow that went astray."

"Oh?" Ji Anni opened her eyes wide with curiosity. She had long been wondering why Tang Jinglan knew the arrow was in her room, and now from what he said, the mystery seemed to be related to the arrowhead.

"Cough cough." Long Mohan coughed deliberately to remind Ji Anni not to continue chatting with this stranger.

But Ji Anni's words just now happened to stimulate Tang Jinglan's proudest point. He wanted to show off his research results to the whole world. He couldn't stop talking once he started, and said incessantly: "Every object can actually emit a weak wavelength, and I rely on this device to sense their positions." As he spoke, he took out a round object similar to a jade pendant and showed it to Ji Anni.

"What, really? You are so awesome." Ji Anni's eyes suddenly widened. She couldn't believe that she had just heard such a modern word like "wavelength" from an ancient person.

No wonder Tang Jinglan found the place where the arrow fell so easily. It turned out that she had such a powerful detector to help her.

"Hehe." Tang Jinglan grinned foolishly when she was praised, looking like a real nerd.

"Cough, cough, cough." Long Mohan coughed until his throat was almost broken, but Tang Jinglan and Ji Anni, who were chatting happily, didn't pay any attention to him. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and finally spoke out: "I don't care if you have a long or short wavelength, just take the arrow and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for driving you away without any courtesy."

I don't know what happened, but Long Mohan seemed to have a bad temper. Tang Jinglan and Ji Anni looked at each other and both thought it would be better not to irritate him.

Tang Jinglan said goodbye, "I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now." She had just taken half a step when she turned back, feeling that it was not proper etiquette, and added, "Before I leave, I still want to thank you for your generous help. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to help me. Please chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp..."

"Are you done yet? Get out of here!" Long Mohan's upbringing was already at a top level, but he was still so angry that he erupted like a volcano after hearing Kang Jinglan's terrible nagging.

Before Long Mohan could kick him out, Tang Jinglan fled the scene faster than a mouse.

Looking at his receding figure and the trail of smoke he left behind, Ji Anni shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Now, the children of the eight families, An, Kang, Bao, Changsun, Liu, Yang, Zhuang, and Tang, have all been seen. But as far as Ji Anni is concerned, the two young masters of the Tang and Liu families are the ones who surprised her the most.

As the saying goes, people eat all kinds of grains, so there are all kinds of shapes, and I shouldn't be too surprised. But from Tang Jinglan, Ji Anni always felt a breath that was contrary to this era, as if the other party didn't belong here at all.

"No one is around, why are you still looking at the corridor? Go back to your room." Long Mohan pulled Ji Anni into the room and closed the door.

The more Ji Anni thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She looked up and asked Long Mohan, "Do you know what wavelength is?"

"Wavelength? What wavelength? What's the wavelength? What does it have to do with waves?" Long Mohan blinked his clear eyes ignorantly. He looked silly and very cute.

However, Ji Anni did not have much time to appreciate Long Mohan's rare innocence. Long Mohan's answer made her feel Kang Jinglan was even more incredible.

Logically speaking, the cultural education received by a king of a country should be of high quality, but why does Tang Jinglan know words that even Long Mohan doesn't know?

"What happened to you? You seem to have lost your soul." Long Mohan continued to be jealous. "When Tang Shibing was young, he was a young hero. He traveled the world with the current chief escort of the Wumu Escort Agency. Their stories of punishing evildoers and eliminating evil have long been made into stories and circulated in teahouses and taverns. After middle age, Tang Shibing entered the officialdom and became more and more powerful. In the end, he became the governor of Zhongzhou. Together with the governors of Qingzhou and Cangzhou, they formed the three major barriers to protect the imperial capital and resist foreign invasions. But bureaucrats are a double-edged sword. While defending the imperial capital, their own existence is also a major hidden danger to the safety of the imperial power."

"Oh, no wonder the daughters of the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Cangzhou both entered the palace as concubines." Ji Anni thought, maybe this can also be considered a kind of hostage.

"But Tang Jinglan, the young master of the Zhongzhou governor's family, is a complete freak." Long Mohan shook his head and said, "I heard about him when I was in the palace. People said he was frail and sickly, with a weird personality, different from ordinary people. I finally understand it after seeing him today." Looking at Long Mohan's gloomy expression, you can tell that this "deeply understand" must have a negative meaning.

Ji Anni had a good impression of Tang Jinglan. Although she was indeed a weirdo, she was not a bad person. At least she was very polite.

In order to prevent Long Mohan from continuing to say bad things about Tang Jinglan, Ji Anni changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is Lai De? Didn't you go to look for Lai De? Didn't you find him?"

After being reminded by Ji Anni, Long Mohan finally remembered the important matter and said hurriedly, "I didn't find it, but I saw some rebels buying oil on the street. I'm afraid they are preparing to burn down the palace."

No wonder Long Mohan came back without finding Lai De. No wonder Long Mohan was in a bad mood and was very emotional. It turned out that he discovered an emergency on the road.

When Ji Anni heard that the rebels were going to burn down the palace, she became nervous and asked hurriedly, "What should we do? Should we rush back?"

"Why rush back? Rushing back would be like committing suicide. Taoist Yuan Rong is still in the palace, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Let's just wait and see what happens." Long Mohan said it lightly, but in this emergency situation, it was impossible to just wait and see and do nothing.
