ng exhaled a plume of smoke.After that, a thoughtful expression: "Five years ago, what happened that would cause the three major families to go so hard on the Zheng family!""It's a pity that I wasn't...[]

"Even so, some people with ulterior motives stabbed him in the back behind his back, idling around all day and complaining everywhere!" The plain-clothed old man continued.

"They say he formed cliques, excluded rivals, amassed troops, and intended to rebel against the emperor!"

And most ironically, some people actually believe these baseless rumors!

"You're telling me, if it were you, you wouldn't have any thoughts"

"Huh" The elderly man in Tang clothing frowned. "Who did you hear that from"

"When you have nothing to do, go out for a walk more often. Don't stay cooped up in your yard all day!" The old man in plain clothes glared at him with displeasure: "If you keep this up, you'll be completely isolated from the world!"

"These things have been circulating in the capital for a long time!"

"Even so, he can't just quit and shirk his responsibilities, can he" Another elder spoke up.

"Although the West is now temporarily stable, other borders of the territory are still being watched by wolves, and there are many places where he needs to exert himself!"

And, the Blood Shadow Squad was built by him. Qinglong and the other four only listen to him; no one else could ever gain their trust!

If he quit, who would lead the Bloodshadow Squad

"You only know that he's absent without leave, but have you ever thought about why he did it" the old man in plain clothes continued to ask.

Slap!

One middle-aged man slammed his hand on the conference table and stood up, his body radiating killing intent as he roared angrily.

"What a bastard! What kind of person would do this Tell me, I swear I'll wipe his entire family out!"

"Alright, remember your status. You can't just go around exterminating entire clans at will. Do you think you're still that soldier charging on the front lines from back then" The commoner elder glared at the other person.

"I don't care about any of that!" the middle-aged man continued to roar. "How dare someone do such a beastly thing! I must make him pay for his actions!"

"Old Tang, you must tell me, who did this I'll bring people to find him right away!"

"Alright, sit down!" At that moment, the elderly man seated at the head of the table spoke in a deep voice.

Then, I looked at the old man in plain clothes: "Old Tang, I was just about to ask you about this. He shouldn't be married yet, right How come he suddenly has a daughter"

"Let someone else give birth for him!" the surnamed Tang elder shrugged his shoulders.

"aving this courtyard today!""I don't have time to waste with you here. You have two minutes. If you can't figure out Wu Tianquan's location, then you're on your own!" A chill emanated from behind Ling...
