C396 Talking about the Old Man's Analysis
Although the sword in his dantian was also a treasured sword, it wasn't the demon sword, so it couldn't answer Lan Tian's question.
Of course, Lan Tian did not expect it to reply. In any case, it was a good thing that it could devour the dagger. In the future, if someone were to stab him in the back, he would not be afraid anymore.
He walked over to the bearded man who had been scared silly a long time ago.
"Don't, don't come over. I am not with them!" The bearded man hurriedly explained as he retreated.
"Hmph, I don't know if you're one of them, but isn't it true that you robbed a commoner's daughter?"
Fear and anger appeared on the bearded man's face. "What does it have to do with you if I snatch a girl? Kid, I know you can fight, but don't forget, my uncle is..."
Before he could finish his words, Lan Tian chopped off his neck with a knife.
After killing the bearded man, he flipped the bodies of the people who tried to assassinate him. Lan Tian did not believe that these people with powerful martial arts did not have storage ring on them.
As expected, these people were very smart. In order to not attract Lan Tian's attention, they took off the storage ring on their fingers and put it in their pockets.
Looking at the things in the storage ring, Lan Tian shook his head. Although these guys' martial arts were strong, not only were there pitifully few gold coins in the storage ring, there were also pitifully few Purple Essence Source.
This was probably the reason why they risked their lives to kill him. They were so poor, it was impossible for them to use the Purple Essence Source to cultivate. They could only rely on killing people to receive rewards.
It seemed like there were quite a number of powerful martial artists in Guanzhou, but there were pitifully few Purple Essence Source. These guys were willing to take the risk for some money, and they were willing to risk their lives to assassinate him.
He had to leave this place as soon as possible so as to avoid bringing trouble to the Starry Academy. Lan Tian thought as he took out ten gold coins and placed them on the table.
He said to the waiter who was trembling with fear, "Half of this money is for your losses, and the other half is for you to bury these corpses."
After saying that, he didn't wait for the waiter to reply. He walked out of the restaurant and got on his horse. Just as he was about to leave, the three pig-headed men who ate with the bearded man ran out the door boldly. He stuttered and asked, "Hero, can you leave your name?"
Lan Tian did not even turn his head back. He replied, "Lan Tian of Starry Academy, what kind of uncle do you want this guy to have? If you don't want to accept it, just come and find me!"
It was really the shadow of a famous tree. When he heard Lan Tian's name, the pig head San was so scared that his body trembled. If he did not lean against the door, he would have been paralyzed with fear.
"Brother, you're back? Eh? A fight? Are you hurt? " When they had just arrived at the academy, Bamboo, who had been waiting, immediately went forward to welcome them. When she saw the bloodstains on Lan Tian's clothes, the little girl was so frightened that she asked in a panic.
Seeing Bamboo's small mouth flattening and about to cry, Lan Tian immediately coaxed, "Don't cry, don't cry. Brother is fine. Look, he's fine!" After saying that, he even jumped twice.
At this moment, Old Man Tan walked out with a cigarette in his mouth. He frowned and said, "Why did they fight when they went to the banquet?"
Lan Tian smiled bitterly and sat down. He told them about what happened in the Imperial Palace and about the sneak attack just now.
Bamboo was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. Old Man Tan smoked a few mouthfuls of cigarette and said coldly, "In the past, our Yun Country was very powerful. After it fell into Yun Qingsong's hands, it began to decline."
"It's said that the main general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies. This Yun Qingsong was really not a thing. He did not dare to fight against outsiders and only talked about peace. He is always suspicious when it comes to internal matters, and he is afraid that others will seize his throne."
"He probably saw that not only did you conquer the Yue Country, but you also gained the support of the people of the Yun Country. He also heard rumors that you are the son of the true dragon who descended to the mortal world. That's why he panicked. He is afraid that you will seize his throne. "
"I dare say that even without Third Royal Uncle's help today, Yun Qingsong would have thought of other ways to force you to hand over the Imperial Protector Token."
Lan Tian was stunned. "That's not right. If he was afraid, wouldn't it be better not to send it to me? Why do you need to do that?"
Old Man Tan smoked another two mouthfuls of smoke before he chuckled and said, "You're going to ask the archduke about this. If the old man is right, it must be the archduke who kept asking her father to give you the token."
"Yun Qingsong probably had no choice but to give the token to you because of her pestering. Think about it, the High Duke had already sent the token to you when he was crossing the city. Tell the generals of the entire army that she will let Yun Qingsong hire you as a Lord Protector when she returns. "
"Logically speaking, the Great Duke was one step ahead of you when he held the election in Yue City. If Yun Qingsong was willing, he should have sent someone to deliver the token after you came back. "
"He wouldn't have waited until you comprehended the Great sword intent and the Azure Dragon Sword produced a strange image before coming over. This means that this fellow has been unwilling to give it to you. "
"Later on, when I heard the dragon's roar, I guess I was afraid that you would rebel against him. That's why I helplessly listened to his daughter's words and gave the token to you."1
Speaking up to this point, Old Man Tan chuckled, "Do you know why that Lord Protector left Yun Country in the past?"
Lan Tian was stunned, "Didn't she say that she went to Guanzhou to further her studies in order to increase her strength?"
Old Man Tan shook his head, "That's just a superficial phenomenon. The real reason is this Yun Qingsong. He had made a lot of contributions to the empire, not only in the surrounding countries. According to the Lord Protector, it's the various sects in the country. Listen to her too. "
"Yun Qingsong was scared half to death and became suspicious again. He clearly said that he wanted to invite his parents into the Imperial Palace to enjoy himself. In fact, he wanted to put them under house arrest."
"If it wasn't for the fact that the Lord Protector family was a loyal martyr, they would have rebelled against him a long time ago. Later, that Lord Protector came to an agreement with him, and that was to let her parents go. She would go to Guanzhou to settle down and never come back."
Speaking up to this point, he shook his head. " Sigh, the Lord Protector originally wanted to bring her family to Guanzhou. But her parents were too loyal to this country, unwilling to go to another country no matter what. Only then did that Lord Protector helplessly leave alone."
"Think about it. He doesn't even believe in loyal officials and generals. Can he trust a newcomer like you?"
Just as Old Man Tan said this, Bamboo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interrupted and said," Grandfather, hearing what you said, could the assassination of my brother be related to this Yun Qingsong? "
"We all know that the Qingshan Academy's general academy has issued a bounty on my brother, but this is something on the surface. Who knows if it is an assassination warrant issued by Yun Qingsong to my brother?"
Lan Tian shook his head, "That shouldn't be possible! Those guys who killed me came from the Guanzhou. I don't think it was Yun Qingsong who did it."
Unexpectedly, Old Man Tan's hand trembled because of Bamboo's words. He patted his old leg. " Oh my, Lan Tian, you don't have to say it. It really is possible! Because Yun Qingsong has a secret that no one knows about, and I happened to find out about it. "
