The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 190

Tang Long was also very confused. Even until now, he still had not realized how good his luck was so good that he could get acquainted with such a strong person.    

“My brother, say something. I guess I heard that the one who healed me was a disciple of the Precious Tree Sect? Brother, you are amazing, you can even ask for help from a disciple from the Precious Tree Sect?    

Tang Long smiled sadly as he saw his sister's eyebrows dancing in excitement. “Tang Zhong, you are too considerate of your brothers. A disciple from the Precious Tree Sect? I'm not even healthy to bring their shoes.”    

"But…"    

“Don't just this or that. If I knew a disciple of the Precious Tree Sect, would I be fired by the border guards? It's hard for the three of us to eat now. It was fortunate that we sold the Black Spirit Wood for a little money. If we spend it sparingly, we should be able to last two or three years with that money.” Tang Long returned to the real world from his dream.    

He also knew that he had met someone who could change his life. Last time, at the border, Jiang Chen had been generous from the start, directly giving him the top rank Vast Ocean Pill reward.    

This time in the capital, if not for this person, not only would the Black Spirit Wood be stolen, but the woman would most likely also be beaten to death.    

Because of his problem, he causes the man to get involved in a case. Even so, Jiang Chen did not blame Tang Long, but instead saved his sister.    

Tang Long sighed. He hated the help of others, but he also knew that the amount of debt he owed to Jiang Chen would also never be refunded in this life.    

Jiang Chen.What kind of person is he? Tang Long was really curious. “He was not afraid of the Northern Palace; the Dragon Tooth Guard could not lock him up, and even disciples of the Precious Tree Sect obeyed his orders. This... Was Jiang Chen a senior elder of the Precious Tree Sect?”    

“Forget it, forget it. He pityed me and happened to offer help to me. I, Tang Long, was born from the earth like an ant. I was destined to be in a different world from her.”    

With great difficulty, Tang Long threw away those random emotions and said to the young girl, “Xiaoqing, why don't you go make dinner? We were busy all day and we are hungry now. Black Spirit Wood had a good price, so buy something that was not only delicious but would also nourish Tang Long so that he could get back up soon.”    

Tang Zhong was deeply moved hearing his brother's words. “Brother, if I can get up and walk, I'll find a job too. I won't always be the one to disappoint you.”    

"Silly boy. Our mother and father are gone. My wife is a child bride who was scheduled to be mine since young and she also has no mother and father. The three of us are one family and we depend on each other to survive. Who will take care of you if not us?”    

Tang Long patted his sister on the shoulder, “Don't think of anything carelessly. Concentrate on your recovery for now. You are young and the road ahead is still long.”    

Even though he spoke so, Tang Long still felt extremely tragic when he saw his house that only had four empty walls. Right now, he was also unemployed so he had to immediately find a job to shoulder the burden of the family.    

His fiancee, Xiaoqing secretly took a sum of banknotes and walked out the door, ready to buy fish and protein, anything to feed her brother-in-law's body.    

He had just stepped out the door when he suddenly shouted, his face deathly pale from fright as he fled back like a terrified deer.    

"What's that?" Tang Long hurriedly ran to the door.    

“Tang Long, we finally found you!”    

“Damn, you decided to go home alone and drag us all with you.”    

“Tell us, how are you going to pay for all this? Do you think everything will be fine after you leave just like that?”    

Four people have arrived. They were all youths around twenty years old with weapons on their waists and hatred written on their faces. They all seem to want to find someone's fault.    

“Yu Dui, what are you guys doing here?” Tang Long felt a little awkward as she wiped her hands on herself.    

“What do we do here?” A burly bald man without eyebrows pushed against Tang Long's chest. “What do you think we're here for? You leave your office of your own accord and make us suffer for it. I was dragged because of you and flogged thirty times. Will I suffer from it for free?”    

“And we, we were all whipped twenty times. Tang Long, how are you going to pay us for this?!”    

The other three team members also exclaimed, looking as if they were about to rush at Tang Long even as they exchanged harsh words.    

These people were all Tang Long's comrades in arms. Although they were not very close, they still worked together in the same team.    

“Yu Dui, I'm guilty of this. I had an urgent affair at home and was only forced to leave when no one agreed to my holiday request. How about I treat you all one day and we'll eat at one of the bars? How about that?" Tang Long faced rudeness with a smile as they stood in front of the door. He did not step aside and did not allow these people to sit down    

He knew that even though these people were his co-workers, they had always maintained a mediocre relationship with him. These people were characters with questionable morals and were renowned as thorns on the side of the border guards. They are bastards who are half-soldiers and half-robbers.    

Tang Long did not like what he saw in them and hence only interacted a little with them. It seemed obvious that they had come to look for trouble. They wanted to take issue with this and cause trouble for Tang Long.    

“Mentracture us eat?” The bald and eyebrowless Yu Dui smiled sinisterly. “Tang Long, do you think we are so poor that we can't afford food that we need you to treat us?”    

“No, not that. I'm inviting you to extend my apology and thank everyone who has cared for me before.” Tang Long continued to put on her smiling face.    

“Yu Dui, stop wasting words with this kid. Pull him out to be beaten. We won't get all those whips if we don't beat him to death!”    

“True, this kid usually takes a different path than us. I feel like this time he deliberately left his post without permission to drag us along with him. There must be some dirty trick behind his shirt. If we don't beat him up, he'll never know that we, brothers, aren't the ones to cross!”    

“Hit him!”    

Tang Long's face changed as he took a deep breath. “Yu Dui, let's have a chat about this outside, huh? My family is here, don't bother them.”    

Yu Dui who was bald and without eyebrows chuckled. "family? Just now, I saw a young girl who looked pretty good. Who is he to you?”    

“She womanaku.” Tang Long's heart was pounding. He had heard of Yu Dui's reputation of not having these eyebrows and heads of plontos. This man wants wine, wealth, and women. Especially women.    

"Your lady? I heard she's just your fiancee?” Yu Dui smiled, but she did not really smile.    

Yu Dui brushed off Tang Long's hand and shouted, “Keep your hand! If you lend me another hand, I'll cut your dog's claws!”    

“Tang Long, you can definitely treat us if you want. Have your woman serve Yu Dui wine. If he makes her happy, we can pretend nothing happened!”    

"Yes yes. Your woman will do it. Yu Dui, what do you think?”    

Yu Dui chuckled as his sharp gaze crossed Xiaoqing's body. “Tang Long, have your women accompany us brothers in the evening drinking and I promise I will not continue this matter any further.”    

Tang Long's face changed. "Impossible."    

“There is no room to discuss?” Yu Dui's smile suddenly disappeared. “Tang Long, does this mean you don't plan on apologizing to us?”    

Tang Zhong trembled in anger as he listened from within. He couldn't help but utter a series of swear words. “You, is this how you bully men and mistreat women, bully co-workers while you wear army uniforms and withdraw government salaries? Is this still the attitude of the Skylaurel Kingdom? Do you still respect the laws of the country?”    

Tang Zhong arrived at the door very agitatedly as he pushed his wheelchair forward.    

Yu Dui blinked. “Is this your disabled sister?”    

“Haha, is there something wrong with your brother's brain? Oppressing men and tyrannizing women? Royal law? Disabled people like you dare to talk to us about royal law?”    

“Do you know what the law is? We are strong, so we are the law.”    

“Cursed disabled person, go or we will beat you up too soon!”    

Baldy Yu Dui's face darkened. “Tang Long, I'll give you one last chance. Get your woman out. We'll even pay for the wine. We just want him to accompany us for one night and we will definitely let him go tomorrow morning.”    

Tang Long's hands trembled. The humiliation!    

If he was not home, he would definitely vent it in his anger. But reason told him that if he threw away his life now, then his brother and Xiaoqing would follow him in death.    

But if he did not exert his entire ability to take everything, these people would definitely be violent. They were all desperate people who not only had a higher status and also a better connection than him. Fighting them meant death was the only way.    

"By good?" Behind his robe, Tang Long's hands clenched.    

“I will count down. Ten, nine, eight..” Baldy Yu Dui start counting.    

These people are experienced in doing foolish deeds and all sorts of crimes. They had naturally investigated everything before coming and knew that Tang Long had no background whatsoever. No matter how they oppressed him, he would not be able to take revenge.    

They had actually also heard that Tang Long had a handsome fiancee. They had been drinking a little before this and alcohol had taken hold of their heads. They came scattering towards Tang Long, but were actually planning for the woman.    

All that nonsense is just an excuse.    

“Five, four, three..”    

Tang Long felt desperate approaching him. He knew that he had no way to retreat. After making a decision, he decided to give everything in one attempt.    

Even if he were to die, he would never allow Xiaoqing to be mauled by these animals. Even if he died, he would take Yu Dui down with him!    

“Tang Zhong, come in.” Tang Long grabbed the wheelchair and pushed Tang Zhong inside.    

“Two, one!” Yu Dui's voice was extremely cold.    

“Pick him to death. Besides the woman, beat them all to death!” Bald Yu Dui gave the order.    

At this time, a voice sounded from outside the small alley, “Tang Long, does Tang Long live here?”    

This voice is a bit prominent.    

Even Yu Dui and the others who were about to pounce suddenly stopped, not to mention Tang Long.    

Yu Dui was scorned and said to one of his men, “Look who made a fuss. If they do not know what is good for them, kill them too.”    

“Who do you want to kill?” Yu Dui's orders had just been given when a voice from outside headed to the door.    

The newcomer was around thirty years old and wore casual clothes. He looked like a martial dao practitioner as his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping Yu Dui and the four others with a single glance.    

“And what do you see?” One of Yu Dui's men glared from behind him.    

“I'll pry your eyes out if you keep looking.” Another man threatened.    

The casual-clothed man looked up and down the four of them and laughed out loud. “You're a border guard? Since when did border guards start acting impunity in the capital?”    

He was too lazy to pay any further attention to these people after and just looked towards Tang Long, “You are Tang Long?”    

Tang Long looked at this person. He didn't know her either, but the arrival of a new person at this time was an opportunity. He immediately nodded, “I Tang Long. May I know your name?"
