Chapter 212 Straw
Chapter 212 Straw
"Ok?"
Just when Donghuang Taiyi was planning to take a stroll around Dali Temple and see if there were any tasks on the bulletin board that he could complete right now, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly saw an acquaintance.
The dream of childhood.
"Turn around."
After seeing Tong Mengxuan, Donghuang Taiyi immediately made a gesture to his friends, then turned and left. His friends also understood what he meant and followed Donghuang Taiyi, leaving Tong Mengxuan's sight.
"But she seems a little strange! Why is she walking alone on the street? Where is the carriage? Where are the servants? I got lost for so long and finally arrived in the capital. They can't be slower than me! Strange!"
Thinking of this, Donghuang Taiyi looked back. After a careful look this time, Donghuang Taiyi found that Tong Mengxuan was in a very miserable state. His face was covered with mud, and his clothes were beggar's clothes full of holes. His face was lifeless and lifeless.
Donghuang Taiyi understands that wearing beggar's clothes is to hide from others, but in Donghuang Taiyi's impression, even if it is to hide from others, he can take off the disguise as long as he returns to his home in the capital! Why is he still wearing it now?
"What's wrong with her?"
Donghuang Taiyi became a little curious, but he had no intention of going forward to ask, and just walked away silently.
After walking for a while, there was a sudden noise in the front. With the idea of watching the fun, Donghuang Taiyi walked over.
When Donghuang Taiyi got closer, he found that what caused the commotion was a notice.
Although Donghuang Taiyi could not recognize all the words on the notice, he could still understand the general meaning.
"The Xuanyuan tribe assassinated the Great Qian Emperor, and the nineteenth prince, Prince Chuang, was defined as an accomplice. All of Prince Chuang's mother's descendants were implicated and will be executed in the autumn!"
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the content above and seemed to understand why Tong Mengxuan was so embarrassed now.
"Nineteenth Prince, I ran into this guy before. Tong Mengxuan seemed to be his sister. It turns out that she was implicated by him!"
"But then again, isn't this Great Emperor a little too incompetent? He even killed his own son... Never mind, it's hard to say. Maybe he is not wronged."
Just when Donghuang Taiyi was about to leave, he felt someone patting his back. Donghuang Taiyi turned around, but saw no one.
"Ok?"
"Hey, head down, I'm here."
Oh! It was at the bottom. Sorry, I'm too tall.
Donghuang Taiyi looked down and saw Tong Mengxuan wearing beggar's clothes.
"Tsk!"
Why is it you?
Tong Mengxuan also noticed Donghuang Taiyi's dissatisfaction and said to him, "Why, you seem very unhappy when you found out it was me!"
Nonsense, isn't this a matter of course?
Donghuang Taiyi took a look around, and quickly pulled Tong Mengxuan to a deserted alley and asked Tong Mengxuan: "You are looking for me, don't you want me to help save your family? If so, you should find someone else! I don't have the ability to save people from under the nose of Emperor Daqian!"
After Donghuang Taiyi had talked things out with Tong Mengxuan, he turned around and was about to leave with the four beasts. However, what Tong Mengxuan said next made Donghuang Taiyi stop in his tracks.
"I do not believe."
"what?"
"I don't believe that the young hero who once stood up for justice will remain indifferent to this matter."
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Our Tong family is innocent. It was the old beast Daqian Emperor who wanted to seize our Tong family's assets, so he framed our Tong family. Even the King of Chuang was framed. In order to seize our Tong family's assets, this old beast even abandoned his own son."
"So what?"
"Don't you feel a bit upset about this?"
"A little, but what's the difference?"
"After hearing what happened to me, do you want to take action against this old beast?"
"I kind of want to, but I can't beat him right now, and neither can you. Now that you've escaped, you shouldn't stay here. Let's leave here and find a hiding place!"
"With these words from the young man, I feel relieved!"
"What are you worried about?"
Donghuang Taiyi himself didn't know what he had said to make Tong Mengxuan feel at ease.
Tong Mengxuan did not answer Donghuang Taiyi, but took out a storage ring from her body. Tong Mengxuan walked to Donghuang Taiyi with the storage ring and handed the ring to Donghuang Taiyi.
Just when Donghuang Taiyi was confused, Tong Mengxuan explained: "This ring contains all the treasures that my Tong family has accumulated over the years. The Great Qian Emperor will execute my Tong family in the autumn just for these treasures."
"The Great Emperor is forcing me to give him these treasures. In the current situation, even if I hand over these treasures, the Great Emperor probably won't let us go."
"My martial arts talent is average, and these treasures may be snatched away by others before I can grow with them."
"So I want to give all these treasures to you, young man. I only hope that you can avenge us when you reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future."
Tong Mengxuan said this and turned and left.
Donghuang Taiyi stayed where he was, looking at the storage ring in his hand and thinking about something. It was not until Tong Mengxuan walked a long way away that Donghuang Taiyi chased after him and stopped Tong Mengxuan.
"What is this? Are you entrusting your orphan to someone you just met for a short time? You are too careless! And what will you do with these things you give me?"
Donghuang Taiyi felt that Tong Mengxuan was really crazy, otherwise how could he have placed such high hopes on a stranger like him!
Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's questioning, Tong Mengxuan couldn't hold it in anymore and broke down crying.
"I don't know either. No one here will help me. Everyone wants to capture me in exchange for merit. There are guards at the city gates. If I make a little noise, the Great Emperor will find me. I have no choice. I really have no choice."
"woo woo woo woo!"
Looking at the crying girl, Donghuang Taiyi's heart was deeply touched.
Donghuang Taiyi didn't know how to comfort him, but seeing someone passing by on the street, Donghuang Taiyi took Tong Mengxuan's hand and walked back, saying as he walked:
"Don't worry! I will definitely save your family."
Karma!
When Tong Mengxuan heard Donghuang Taiyi say that he wanted to save his family, she stopped crying and asked Donghuang Taiyi in disbelief.
"Really...really?"
"Really? Didn't they say that we will be executed in autumn? It's only the beginning of autumn now, which means we still have three months. In these three months, we can use the treasures left by your family to improve my strength enough to save the people. Isn't that enough?"
Tong Mengxuan looked at Donghuang Taiyi who turned back to explain to her. Donghuang Taiyi's eyes were firm and his words were full of confidence, as if he could really improve his strength and save people in just three months.
If Donghuang Taiyi had said this before her family was in trouble, Tong Mengxuan would have simply sneered at it. But now it was completely different. Tong Mengxuan felt extremely relieved after hearing it, just like a drowning person grabbing the last straw and being unwilling to let go.
"Do you believe me?"
“Yes, I believe it!”
"Okay, as long as you are willing to trust me, let's go and find a place where no one is around and see if there are any treasures that your family has accumulated that can help."
"it is good."
Tong Mengxuan agreed, and followed Donghuang Taiyi, Xiaobai, Xiaori, Xiaoyue, and Xiaoxingchen to an uninhabited place.
The so-called no-man's land is actually an uninhabited house found by Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi asked the four beasts to guard outside, and he and Tong Mengxuan entered the house.
Donghuang Taiyi and Tong Mengxuan sat side by side on the bed. After Donghuang Taiyi confirmed with Tong Mengxuan that the treasures in the storage ring would not leak out due to being taken out and would not cause Emperor Daqian to discover their location, Donghuang Taiyi asked Tong Mengxuan to take out all the treasures in the storage ring and show them to him.
Tong Mengxuan first took out a red demon core from the storage ring and brought it in front of Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the demon core and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Tong Mengxuan replied: "The demon core of the eighth-level demon beast, the Red Blazing Tiger."
"Eighth level!"
Donghuang Taiyi was surprised. He never expected that the first item Tong Mengxuan took out was the demon core of an eighth-level demon beast.
This made Donghuang Taiyi even more curious about what treasures the Tong Mengxuan family had accumulated over the years.
