Chapter 137 Torture
"Li Zhengnan?" Tang Yurou tried to recall, and then said, "I don't know him."
"I don't know him?"
Han Xu tapped the table lightly, showing a puzzled look.
According to what Tang Yurou said before, the Tang Sect has very strict management of its own skills, and only inner disciples can practice the Eight-Armed Yama.
Nichang's skills were passed down from Li Zhengnan, but Tang Yurou said that she didn't know Li Zhengnan.
"In the Tang Sect, has anyone left the sect in recent years?" Han Xu asked. Now it seems that Li Zhengnan is very likely a Tang Sect disciple who changed his name.
"That's impossible. Once you enter the Tang Sect, you will be a Tang Sect member for life, unless you die." Tang Yurou said with certainty.
"That's strange. Aren't you curious about the source of my maid Nichang's skills? It was taught by the Li Zhengnan I just mentioned."
"What about him?" Tang Yurou asked anxiously.
"Li Zhengnan was a worshiper in the worship hall, but he's dead."
"Dead?"
"Died at the hands of the White Sword Demon." Han Xu did not hide it. This matter was not a secret. You could find out by asking around in the royal city.
Tang Yurou began to think. The matter related to the sect seemed to make her forget her own situation.
"Ten years ago, an elder disappeared secretly. I was young at that time and I don't remember it very clearly." Tang Yurou recalled, "That elder seemed to be the eight-armed Yama who practiced."
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know. The records in the sect say that he has died, but there is no mention of his mission outside. Later, his files also disappeared in a fire."
Han Xu did not speak, but thought that it was probably him.
The reason why he asked Li Zhengnan was to confirm the relationship between the Tang Sect and the prince's party.
Among the people in the martial arts world who assassinated Han Luoling last time, there was Tang Yu, a ninth-grade master of the Tang Sect. Now it is confirmed that Li Zhengnan is most likely an elder of the Tang Sect.
In addition, the place where the prince was exiled this time was, by coincidence, Xishu.
Putting this series of clues together, Han Xu guessed that the Tang Sect might be related to the prince.
It was a pity that Tang Yurou in front of him was clearly a rookie in the martial arts world, a typical fool. Not only did she know nothing about the martial arts world, but she also didn't know much about her own sect.
Seeing Han Xu not speaking, Tang Yurou began to panic again. After all, she was kneeling on Han Xu's bed in an extremely humiliating posture. For a young lady in her twenties who had never experienced anything, this experience might become the stain she wanted to erase the most in her life.
"Han Xu, if you let me go, I can let Nishang join the Tang Sect, so that she won't be hunted down by the Tang Sect." Tang Yurou's desire to survive was still very strong. She saw that Han Xu valued Nishang, so she was ready to use Nishang as a breakthrough point to let Han Xu let her go.
As for whether she would keep her promise in the future, as long as she killed Han Xu, she would naturally not have to fulfill her promise, and only by killing Han Xu could she wash away the shame of tonight.
"Are you threatening me?" Han Xu was unmoved, but sat down beside her.
His hungry wolf-like eyes made Tang Yurou's panic reach its peak.
"What do you want to do?"
"Han Xu, I tell you, I have extraordinary protection on this trip. If you dare to touch a hair of mine, the Tang Sect will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
"Han Xu, please, don't." Seeing Han Xu reaching out his hand, Tang Yurou's inner defense finally collapsed, threatening, begging for mercy, and began to speak incoherently.
"Pah!" With a sound, Han Xu knocked her unconscious with a palm.
"Noisy!"
Han Xu naturally wouldn't do anything to Tang Yurou, not because he was afraid of the Tang Sect, but because he found it troublesome.
"Yiyi, get her out."
As soon as Han Xu finished speaking, Bai Yiyi, who was guarding outside the door, pushed the door open and looked at Han Xu with ambiguous eyes.
"Master, it's still early, it's okay to delay for an hour." After saying that, she kept winking in the direction of Tang Yurou.
Han Xu said angrily: "You little girl, how can my strength stop at one hour."
"It's hard to say."
"How about I prove it to you tonight."
"Okay!" Bai Yiyi said crisply, without any hesitation, and straightened her body.
She knew Han Xu's character, that he was not serious on the surface, but in fact, he was still very pure in his heart.
Sure enough, seeing Bai Yiyi's appearance, Han Xu knew that he had slapped himself in the face again, so he said coldly: "Get rid of her quickly, are you going to rebel?"
"What a coward." Bai Yiyi carried Tang Yurou, and before leaving, she did not forget to despise Han Xu, and then left Han Xu alone in the room to sulk.
"Everyone is going to rebel. Young Master, I will definitely find an opportunity to let you see what it means to be a hero!"
Bai Yiyi used her body skills to bring Tang Yurou back to the room of the inn where she lived. As the intelligence chief in Han Xu's hands, she had already investigated clearly.
After sending Tang Yurou away, Han Xu called Nishang.
"Nishang, be careful during this period. If there is nothing special, try to stay with Uncle Lin."
"Young Master, don't worry, no one outside knows my identity."
"Don't underestimate the Tang Sect. They can dominate the world of Xishu and stand for hundreds of years. Naturally, they are not easy to deal with."
"I will be careful."
Han Xu gently patted Nishang's right shoulder, and his palm left a trace of spiritual consciousness. In this way, if Nishang encounters danger, he will know it in the first time.
Not long after, Lin Feng hurried back.
"Master, today a super expert from Tang Sect came to Jindao Sect."
"Are you okay?"
"He came to investigate the cause of death of Tang Yu, a disciple of Tang Sect, but I don't know why he found Jindao Sect."
"They are looking for me. That person went to find you just to lure the tiger away from the mountain and prevent you from returning home." Han Xu told Lin Feng what happened tonight and told him to pay more attention to Nishang's safety recently.
The prince had just left the royal city for Xishu, and the people from Tang Sect came to the royal city to investigate. Han Xu thought that this matter should not be just a simple coincidence.
On the other side, the super expert from Tang Sect returned to the inn and saw the unconscious Tang Yurou, his face changed drastically.
He passed a spiritual power to Tang Yurou's body, and Tang Yurou slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she said in horror: "Don't touch me, please, let me go!"
Then, when she saw the person in front of her clearly, tears suddenly came out, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances.
"Uncle San, Han Xu, that bastard, bullied me!"
The face of the middle-aged man called Uncle San by Tang Yurou was completely gloomy.
"Yurou, don't be afraid, tell Uncle San what happened."
At the same time, in Weiyang Palace.
Han Luoling, wearing a snow-white cloak, stood alone in the yard. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, wondering what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind her. After three or five breaths, the black shadow turned into a young man in his thirties.
"Han Wu, why are you here?" Han Luoling asked without turning her head, as if she knew he was behind her.
"Miss, the master asked me to come and see how things are going?"
"Go back and tell him that everything is under control."
"I don't think so. The Emperor Wu hasn't come for a few days?"
"Are you questioning me?"
"I dare not, but the master asked me to tell Miss that time is running out."
Han Luoling nodded and said, "I know. Tell him to give me some more time. At least let Han Xu have the ability to protect himself."
Then, the body of the man called Han Wu exploded and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Time..." Han Luoling murmured, pulling at his cloak.
