Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1168: Tit for Tat_1 Chapter 1369: Chapter 1168: Tit for Tat_1 “Although you are a baron, how many in the whole Daqi would dare to provoke you? I, the Prince of Wei, am still ridiculed to my face by you,” Yang Ye snorted.

“Your Highness is overexaggerating, Sanlang would not dare,” said Tong Sanlang with no sincerity, his face devoid of even polite fear.

Bei Lingsu laughed at this, “That day, Young Master Tong told the leader of the Tianlong Gang that he dared to provoke even Your Highness, the Prince. It seems it wasn’t a lie to deceive the leader.”

“Hmm?” Yang Ye’s face showed confusion upon hearing this.

“It’s the leader of the Tianlong Gang. He tried to recruit Young Master Tong, but Young Master Tong rejected him,” Bei Lingsu explained.

“Is that so?” Yang Ye was surprised, and after his surprise, he immediately glared at Tong Sanlang, “The grace given to you by Grandpa Emperor has become your capital for showing off. You should keep a low profile, Baron Tong.”

“With the title bestowed upon me by Your Highness as the number one master of Daqi, it’s impossible for me to be low-profile.”

“Hey, that’s not something you can say, your trouble this time was clearly because of the treasure, what does it have to do with my Yang Family?” Yang Ye shook his fan and asked.

“The treasure is only part of it, the leader said that they kidnapped my mother, firstly for the treasure, and secondly for my life. If they truly just wanted the treasure, then capturing and torturing me for information would suffice, why would they need to kill me?”

“From what the leader implied, the treasure was just incidental. They kidnapped my mother and lured me from afar to this place mainly to take my life.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ye raised an eyebrow, “What you’re saying is, someone hired the Tianlong Gang?”

“That’s just one of my guesses; I’m more inclined to think that the Tianlong Gang is actually supported by some big family. They’ve revealed themselves this time because they wanted to kill me.”

It was impossible for such a large gang not to have backers above them.

Yang Ye clicked his tongue a few times, “So you’re saying, you’re still a hero then?”

“I didn’t say that. But there is some truth in those words, because of my ostentation I forced those people to take action and kill me, thus drawing out the Tianlong Gang. I believe I played the role of a fuse,” Tong Sanlang said earnestly, his dark pupils gazing at Yang Ye.

Unable to contain himself, Yang Ye rolled his eyes, “If you want compensation, go to Grandpa Emperor. I, an idle prince, cannot make those decisions for you.”

“After pacifying the Tianlong Gang and discussing merits and rewards, I will certainly point out this fact,” Tong Sanlang spoke as if it were only right.

In his view, the treasure was truly incidental; the Tianlong Gang’s main goal was his life.

Why did they want his life?

Because he was too ostentatious!

But this ostentatiousness was not his doing. It was all forced upon him by Yang Wenxiao.

This time, not only did he almost lose his life because of the Zhang Family’s disablement, but he also dragged out the colossal Tianlong Gang, full of grievances yet also full of merit.

When he returned to Capital City, he would surely demand a reward with all the entitlement of a lion’s roar!

“Are you sure you’re not boasting?” Yang Ye, remembering how much Yang Wenxiao valued Tong Sanlang, couldn’t help but roll his eyes again.

“Your Highness is joking. There are only four of us here; who am I boasting to?” Tong Sanlang calmly retorted.

“Perhaps to General Niu or Miss Bei, right? Although General Niu is a general, he is far from the Imperial Court, Miss Bei is new and unfamiliar with the situation in Daqi. Are you proving to them just how much Grandpa Emperor favors you?”

“Your Highness is joking, I’m not that idle.”

Yang Ye clicked his tongue and turned to Bei Lingsu, “Miss Bei, who do you think makes more sense in our conversation?”
