Qihai City, City Lord's Mansion.
There are only three days left until the Spring Plowing Festival.
According to tradition, this day is the day when all the vassals in the Seven Seas Province meet Tang Lan.
Although Tang Lan is in Lanyan City, all the vassals still received invitations and came from all over the country. , war horses and carriages entered the original Duke's Palace in an endless stream, and Tang Xu, one of the leaders of the Tang family, was responsible for all reception matters.
The banquet was arranged in the hall of the mansion.
Tang Lan had always been simple, but this hall was the only one that was magnificently decorated.
A total of 17 vassals and princes entered the hall, and the waiters began to busy serving wine and food.
In the blink of an eye, The banquet was filled with the fragrance of the dishes, and everyone took their seats one after another.
Tang Xu clasped his fists and said: "We need to discuss things in the lobby, so I invite your lord's bodyguards and female relatives to have dinner in the side hall.
Please forgive me for any inconveniences."
Everyone was stunned.
One of them, Tianji Bolu Zhong, said to his two sons beside him: "Chong'er, Shan'er, you two go to the side hall to have dinner, dad will stay here."
"Yes, father" A group of guards and followers dispersed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, there were only 17 people plus one Tang Xu in the lobby.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that behind Tang Xu there was a group of Iron Guards from Qihai City.
These people were covered in armor.
Among them, there is a sword hanging on the waist, and the eyes from under the helmet have a faint murderous intent.
All the vassals were a little uneasy for a while and sat down one after another.
Tang Xu said loudly: "Close the door."
"Squeak" The door to the hall slowly closed and was even bolted.
"Commander Tang Xu, why is this?"
asked an old man in the crowd.
"I'm reporting this to Old General Zhou Chong, because there are some things that need to be kept secret."
Tang Xu smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to invite you, young master."
"Young Master" Zhou Chong, Lu Zhong and others were all stunned.
It was well known that the Tang family in Qihai City had become extinct.
The last two direct bloodlines, Tang Lu and Tang Tian, were assassinated.
Almost everyone thought that Tang Lan would inherit from Tang Xu and Tang Tian.
When choosing an heir from the Tang family bloodlines such as Xi and Tangzhen, where did the young master come from?
The side door of the hall slowly opened, and a man covered in a black cloak was sitting on a chair and was carried in by two guards.
He lifted the cloak, revealing a terrifying face that had been burned, and said with a slight smile: " Why, don’t you all recognize me, Tang Lu, anymore?”
Zhou Chong was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and clasped his fists: "It's great that the young master is not dead.
There is a successor to the Tang family."
Tang Lu said calmly: "Thank you, Old General Zhou Chong, I am indeed not dead.
Lin Muyu wanted to harm me and Empress Qin Yin wanted to harm me, but I will not die so easily.
Our Tang family is tenacious and unyielding, how could we give in to them?"
Lu Zhong frowned and listened to Tang Lu's words without saying a word.
"My lords, please take your seats."
Tang Lu said: "Just like in previous years, let's eat and drink enough first, and then we can discuss the major issues of the Seven Seas Province."
Everyone did not dare to disobey, and clasped their fists respectfully, and then began to drink and eat meat.
However, the door was locked, and Tang Lu appeared in the hall very strangely, which made people feel creepy unconsciously.
The meal is bound to be a banquet without a good feast.
After drinking for three rounds, Tang Lu raised his voice and said, "My lords, please listen to me, Tang Lu."
Everyone said one after another: "Young Master, please speak."
Tang Lu said: "You are all loyal vassals of our Tang family.

You have enjoyed the Tang family's fiefdom for many years.
But now you have seen that the Seven Seas Province is rich and has given birth to countless talents.
The number of our conscripts has reached 400,000. , and nearly 300,000 of them are in your hands.
Originally, the Tang family served the empire, and it was natural for the Qin family to serve However, we were suspected by others, and my grandfather was even bullied in Lanyan City.
Even the people on the throne wanted to wipe out my Tang family, and even sent trusted generals to murder my brother Tang Tian and me.
Fortunately, I was spared.
Yu Yi died, but Tiandi has died tragically in Lingbei Province.
Our Tang family has a lot to learn from the loyalty of the world, but to have such a result, people and gods are outraged."
All the vassals were silent, no one dared to express their opinions, and they were all waiting for Tang Lu's next words.
"so" Tang Lu smiled and said, "I have prepared a blood flag of the covenant for all of you.
Come, bring it up."
Two guards came up holding a battle flag.
On the battle flag was the Tang Sect's emblem, a very beautiful seven-core begonia.
Tang Lu said: "As long as you write your name in blood on this blood flag of the covenant, you will be loyal to our Tang family.
I am the only one who obeys everything.
Everyone, the empire is tens of thousands of miles long, but it has already been accommodated."
We, the Qihai Tang Clan, are no longer at our mercy.
If we don’t protect ourselves, we will eventually be wiped off the empire’s territory by Qin Yin.”
Lu Zhong's face was ashen and he said: "Young Master, are you planning to form your own school?"
"That's right."
Tang Lu smiled slightly and said: "Tianji Bodong is like watching fire.
Since Qin Yin is unkind, we cannot sit back and wait for death.
My lords, if the Tang family is proud, you will be honored.
If the Tang family is defeated, you will be defeated.
After writing your name on the blood flag of the covenant, the covenant will take effect.
Well, if Qin Yin takes action against our Seven Seas Province, we will lose everything."
Veteran Zhou Chong couldn't help but gasped and said: "Young Master, we are committing rebellion!
The Tang family has been loyal to the empire for hundreds of years, how can it be destroyed in our hands?"
"Old General" The corner of Tang Lu's lips raised: "You are too kind to a woman.
In ancient times, it was said that if a king is unkind, his ministers can replace him.
Now Qin Yin favors and trusts Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Zeng Yifan and others, and treats our Tang family with disdain."
Gu, you are always making things difficult, even harming me, the heirs of the Tang clan.
If we don’t take the initiative, we will just sit back and wait for death.
Do you want a lifetime of glory, or do you want to be dead?"
In the crowd, a young general stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Young Master, I, Dong Chan, have been favored by the emperor for generations.
When the late Emperor Qin Jin was still alive, he even awarded my father many awards.
Although my father has passed away now, Dong Chan is never willing to do anything wrong.
If the young master wants to rebel against Qin, I, Dong Chan, do not want to be a companion."
With that said, Dong Chan stood up and walked away.
"court death" Tang Lu raised his palm, and the Divine Convergence Seal of the Heavenly King's cultivation burst out of the air, hitting Dong Chan's back with a bang.
Dong Chan stumbled against the wall without even letting out a scream.
He died, his back was burned into a big black hole, and his death was extremely tragic.
"Who else is not willing to surrender to our Tang family?"
Tang Lu looked at everyone calmly and said: "Whoever still refuses to accept can stand up."
Everyone was frightened.

Tang Lu actually killed the vassal in public.
How audacious was this?
In the crowd, Lu Zhong clasped his fists tremblingly and said: "Veteran General Lu Zhong is willing to follow the young master.
Since the Qin family is unkind, we will be unjust.
The Seven Seas Province has a population of tens of millions.
If Qin Yin is unkind, we can break the earth seal."
King, why do you need to rely on others?”
Tang Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Unexpectedly, Uncle Tianji knows the current affairs and is a hero.
Someone came and divided the Dong family's fiefdom into Uncle Tianji, and all the military power of the Dong family was put under the control of Uncle Tianji."
Lu Zhong stepped forward, bit his index finger, and wrote his name on the battle flag.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third people also wrote down their names one after another.
Who would not be afraid of death?
After all, everyone seeks glory and wealth in life, and the so-called loyalty is sometimes just a matter of words.
Zhou Chong was the last veteran to write his name.
After he finished writing his name tremblingly, he couldn't help but sigh: "From now on, I'm afraid there will be no turning back."
Tang Lu sneered: "Why did the old general say this?
Has the old general already concluded that our Tang family cannot succeed?"
Zhou Chong didn't say anything, but walked back to the seat slumped, drinking glass after glass of wine.
Tang Lu supported the table with both hands, stood up slowly, and said: "The generals of the Tang family will obey the order."
Everyone left the table and knelt down.
There was endless anger and unwillingness in Tang Lu's eyes, and he said: "The Qin family is unkind, so we can only be unjust.
From now on, we will block the seven customs and prohibit trade with Lingbei Province.
Your Excellencies will rush back to the fiefdom early tomorrow morning.
Go and complete one thing for me in Tang Lu.
First, kill all the governors of the states and counties in the fiefdom.
Then destroy the temple and take all the troops gathered in the temple as your own.
Those who disobey will be killed without mercy."
Everyone was frightened and responded with mixed voices: "Yes" Tang Lu squinted his eyes and looked at everyone: "In half a month, he will lead all the troops in the fiefdom to Qihai City to join the alliance.
All the troops in Qihai Province will be trained and supplied together.
In addition, extra manpower will be sent to build the Tang family's Begonia flower battle flag. , badges, take off the purple flowers, and be sure to wear a begonia flower military badge for each of our 300,000 troops.”
"yes" Tianji Boluzhong immediately raised his hand and took off the golden purple flowers on his collar.
With a sneer in his eyes, he said: "The era when the Qin family ruled the mainland is completely over."
Lanyan City, Palace of the Seven Seas.
In the middle of the night, in the villa deep inside the palace, Tang Lan suddenly woke up from his nightmare.
He was breathing heavily and his face was a little pale.
In his dream, he saw Tang Lu covered in blood and yelling, "Grandpa, save me." ”, as if it really happened.
"Someone is coming."
"Your Highness."
Outside the door, a veteran pushed the door open and said, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Is there any news from Qihai City?"
"Not yet, what's wrong, Your Highness?"
"I suddenly felt uneasy.
I'm afraid something is going to happen.
You should immediately write a feather letter and send it to Qihai City, telling Tang Lu not to act rashly.
Now is not the time.

Wait for my order before acting."
"yes" The veteran paused and said: "Your Highness, I have really decided."
Tang Lan was slumped, describing how old he was, and said: "No matter what, I must think about my descendants, so this matter is probably inevitable.
How is the situation over there in Earth Star Province?
, how is recruiting troops?"
"The commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty is recruiting troops day and night, but the population of Dixing Province is poor and not as good as that of Qihai Province.
I am afraid that the total number of troops will not exceed 150,000." "150,000" Tang Lan murmured to himself: "The 550,000 people are equivalent to the troops of the Yihe Kingdom that besieged Lanyan City":
