The Third Prince glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "Tell General Li everything you know!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly kowtowed and told the story in detail. As expected, when General Li heard that there were two Great Demon Beasts in Taoxi Village, and one of them was a dragon, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
He stared at the middle-aged man with cold eyes and asked, "Are you sure it's really a dragon?"
The middle-aged man's back broke out in a cold sweat when he was stared at by General Li. He secretly complained, but he still nodded and said, "I can't be wrong. It's really a dragon!
If it wasn't a dragon, I wouldn't have come all the way to Shang Yuan Mansion to ask for help! "
Li Jianying nodded slightly and asked, "How was Taoxi Village before you left?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Many people in our village were affected. Half of them died before I left. The rest are hiding in the cellar and don't dare to come out. However, there isn't much food in the cellar, so I don't know how long they can last."
"Okay, I know the situation." Li Jianying waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
The middle-aged man should have left, but when he glanced at the expressionless Tang Yong in the crowd, his heart suddenly moved. His eyes flashed with a cold light and he suddenly kowtowed to Li Jianying and said, "General Li, I want to report a person.
This person speaks for the Demon Beasts all the time. I suspect that this person is a spy for the Demon Beasts and has betrayed the Human Clan! "
Li Jianying's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He asked in an extremely cold voice, "Who is it?"
The middle-aged man only felt that he was shivering all over, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted. He raised his head and glared at Tang Yong, pointed at him and said, "It's him!"
When Li Jianying saw that he was pointing at one of the genius warriors, he immediately frowned and looked at the Third Prince.
The Third Prince sneered and looked at the middle-aged man with an expressionless face.
However, this sneer made the middle-aged man's heart sink to the bottom. He looked at Tang Yong. This guy did not seem to be flustered by his accusation. Instead, he looked at him with a faint smile, as if he was looking at a clown.
The middle-aged man panicked. He felt like he had missed something. He glanced at the crowd and saw that the rich young masters who had been listening to his story were all looking at him with mocking eyes, as if they were looking at a joke.
The middle-aged man's heart pounded wildly. He opened his mouth to explain, but at this moment, he, who had always been eloquent, seemed to have lost his ability to speak.
Looking at the young man who was dressed like a servant, he smiled coldly and said, "You're really stupid. If you didn't jump out, I wouldn't lower myself to the level of an ordinary person like you. But you're courting death!"
The middle-aged man looked at Tang Yong's face and finally found his voice. He muttered, "You're just a servant?
What right do you have to kill me! "
Tang Yong said, "Just because you framed a disciple of the House of Marquis and framed the top scorer of the Han Tang Dynasty for your own selfish interests. You deserve to die!"
When the middle-aged man heard these two sentences, his eyes suddenly widened. He said in disbelief, "This is impossible!
You're dressed so shabbily, and no one paid attention to you on the way here! "
When Tang Yong heard these two sentences, his face immediately turned black. He said, "What do you know? I'm dressed so ordinarily because I'm too handsome. No one is around me because I'm too outstanding. They feel ashamed standing beside me!"
'Ding, from Li Moyan's distress + 132 …'
'Ding, from Jiang Mu's distress + 100 …'
'Ding, from the Third Prince's distress + 99 …'
When Tang Yong said this, not only was the middle-aged man dumbfounded, but even the genius martial artists were speechless.
Do you have any shame?
You're handsome?
Your face is only delicate and pretty. There are many people who are more handsome than you here.
You're so outstanding that they feel ashamed standing beside you. Bah!
Why don't you say that you can choke people to death with just three sentences?
However, after Tang Yong said these words, he didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he was confident. People who didn't know him would really think that he was telling the truth.
In the end, it was the Third Prince who ended this embarrassing topic. He looked coldly at the middle-aged man and said, "Han Tang Law, Article 130. Falsely accusing someone of fraud is punished with 100 lashes and banishment to the border.
General Li, arrest this person! "
Li Jianying was also a shrewd person. After listening to Tang Yong's words and seeing the man's reaction, he immediately guessed what had happened. His face turned cold, and he immediately called people to arrest the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man heard the Third Prince's sentence, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "I was just possessed for a moment. Please have mercy!"
However, no one paid attention to him at this time.
Two burly guards found a rag and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's mouth. At the same time, they held down the middle-aged man's hands and directly dragged him out of the house.
Waiting for him was 100 lashes and banishment to the border. The border of the Han Tang had always been a place where demon beasts frequently invaded. Every year, demon beasts would attack. Going there was the same logic as tying one's head to one's belt. Once you went there, you could forget about coming back.
After the middle-aged man was dragged away, the room suddenly became much quieter.
Tang Yong looked at Zhang Xiu. He saw that this person's expression didn't change when he saw his fellow villager being dragged away. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't you plead for him?"
Zhang Xiu turned to look at Tang Yong and said indifferently, "Why would I plead for him? When we encountered demon beasts on the road, he pushed me out to block them so that he could escape. Why would I save such a person?"
Tang Yong was speechless.
He didn't expect this middle-aged man to be so cruel!
He wouldn't complain if he was punished!
The sound of the guards cracking the whip came from outside the door. Tang Yong and the others didn't hear the screams, probably because their mouths were gagged.
After Li Jianying learned that Taoxi Village had been attacked, he walked around the house twice with a gloomy expression. After a while, he suddenly stopped and said to everyone with a serious expression, "A few days ago, many river demons appeared in the tributaries of the Yongjiang River in Shangyuan Prefecture. I sent 3,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress them. Now, there are less than a hundred people in the city, excluding the soldiers guarding the city. This is an emergency, and I want to recruit you to accompany me to exterminate the demons!"
As soon as Li Jianying said that, the genius warriors immediately burst into an uproar.
"I'm not going, that's a dragon!
If we go, we'll only be a snack! "
"Yeah, General Li, this is a situation in Shangyuan Prefecture. What does it have to do with us?"
"We're going to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. If we get injured here and lose the tournament, can you bear the consequences?"
Li Jianying said it in a negotiating tone at first, but when he heard the rebuttal of these genius warriors, his face became more and more sullen. In the end, he roared, "You cowards, shut up!
If it weren't for these warriors who sacrificed their lives and hunted down the demonic beasts, do you think you can come here safely?
I know you're Han Tang geniuses, but now is the time when Han Tang needs you.
Are you going to be so indifferent? "
As soon as Li Jianying said that, everyone fell silent. Although some people were unconvinced, they had to admit that Li Jianying's words made sense. If it weren't for the warriors of Han Tang continuously hunting down the demonic beasts, the Han Tang would have become a foggy demon forest by now. They were enjoying the convenience brought to them by the empire and indeed had no right to refuse.
"I'll ask you again, are you going to participate in the extermination of the demons?" Li Jianying asked coldly.
However, only one person in the crowd answered him.
"I'll go!" Tang Yong raised his hand with a faint smile.
'Isn't it just killing a dragon?'
'It's not like I haven't killed one before, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, Li Jianying is a Martial King expert. If he and the dragon are both injured, I'll have a chance to kill the dragon.' Tang Yong felt that it was worth the risk.
"I'll go too." The Third Prince also raised his hand and said.
When the crowd saw Tang Yong and the Third Prince raising their hands one after another, they immediately got into an uproar. However, they discussed for a long time, but no one raised their hands. Li Jianying immediately looked disappointed. He closed his eyes and then opened them again. His eyes had become extremely cold. He glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "I'm in charge of Shangyuan Mansion. All the warriors here are under my command. I don't care who you were in the past, but now you're all going to follow me to kill demons!
If you disobey, you'll be punished according to military orders. "
