Above the stars

Shen Boyu took a sip of tea, looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "What do you think of Tang Bandit?"

"good."

"How does it compare to you?"

"What is the second grandfather talking about?"

"Machiavellian tactics? Cultivation level?"

"Each has its own merits." Shen Xinglan gave him a relatively fair evaluation.

He is inferior to Tang Bandit in some aspects, but Tang Bandit is also inferior to him in many things.

He couldn't say that he was far ahead, and he was even less willing to humbly say that he was not as good as Tang Bandit.

"Then how does he compare with other children of the Shen family?"

Shen Xinglan hesitated for a moment and said, "The children of the Shen family are not as good as the Tang bandits."

"Enemies." Shen Boyu nodded, looked at Shen Xinglan and said, "You have been to the old land, and you know that survival there is not easy. Living is a luxury. How can children of ordinary families break through the realm of cultivation? ?”

"How difficult is it to break through the realm of cultivation? Without a rare book of secrets or guidance from a famous teacher, it would be difficult for ordinary people to get started. However, Tang Bandit has already advanced to the Qi Control realm in a place like that."

"This is nothing in Xinxing, but in the old land it can become a powerful force. This is also his trump card and bargaining chip to save the little girl in Phoenix."

"Think carefully about his various performances after coming to Xinxing. Are the things he did like those done by children from ordinary families? What kind of people can teach such children? Ordinary old-time refugees, Can we make it this far?”

"Maybe he hasn't seen much of the world, but there are definitely people around him who are sharpening his will, broadening his horizons, and letting him know that the world is not just the acid rain and mutant beasts in front of him, but also new stars, and there are more beautiful things. Something is waiting for him ahead."

"Just because Tang Bandit is very good?"

"Secondly, there is Tang Bandit's mechanical skills. We asked people to investigate, and Tang Bandit said that he had never been exposed to mechanical knowledge before. But based on his time studying at the Mechanical College, he was able to Can we create a god-level mecha like the Golden Armored Kirin that can win the mecha competition? How is this possible?"

"I heard that he got help from the young lady from the Lu family."

"Yes, this is the third reason why I doubt them. After the Tang bandits came to Xinxing, why did they have such a close relationship with the Lu family? Even the royal family didn't know about the new materials developed by the Lu family, but they gave priority to them. Is Tang Bandit using it just because Tang Bandit has an affair with that young lady from the Lu family? I don’t think things are that simple, right?"

"Because of that incident, I heard that there was a lot of anger in the Phoenix Palace."

"There are also signs that Tang Bandit's age is similar to that of Lu Yu when he left Xinxing. All this makes me suspect that the person who accompanied Tang Bandit in the old land was Lu Yu."

Shen Xinglan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Shen Boyu and asked: "The Tang bandit's surname is Tang. Can he know it?"

If Tang Bandit and Tang Li were closely related, then this would be a major event for the empire.

"No. Tang Li only had one son, and that child was burned to death shortly after he was born. Countless people saw it with their own eyes. This cannot be false." Shen Boyu knew what Shen Xinglan was thinking and shook his head.

"Originally, the royal family was not at ease with him, and specifically asked the eldest prince to take Tang Bandit for a genetic test. Although we don't know what the test results were, the royal family later appointed him as the deputy captain of the Imperial Guard, which showed a strong focus on training. .Prove that Tang Bandit has nothing to do with that person."

"Given the royal family's fear of that person, and the similarity in genetic testing is over 50, I'm afraid he will be focused on or purged by them."

"So, the Tang bandit is clean, only the identity of the old man who mysteriously disappeared is suspicious?"

"Yes." Shen Boyu nodded and said, "I suspect that Lu Yu was forced too much by the royal family and hid directly in the old land. He also found two more talented children in the old land. He named Tang Bandit Tang. , maybe he also hopes that the Tang family will have an heir, after all, almost all the direct blood of the Tang family were killed."

"The bandits of the Tang Dynasty migrated to Xinxing, which has a close relationship with the royal family." Shen Xinglan frowned and said loudly, "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"I also suspected that the little Phoenix girl was assassinated while exploring the old land, and the star disk she was riding happened to crash in the Henshan area where they lived, and she was rescued by the Tang bandits."

"How many new stars can do all these things? If the Lu family takes action, it can be done with their financial, material and mechanical means."

"Being able to erase all traces, Chen Fenglei has been tracking for more than half a year but can't find any clues. Do you feel that the Lu family is becoming more and more suspicious?"

"Lu Yu is hiding in the old land, but there is his contact person on Xinxing?"

"Hmph, do you really think that all the members of the Tang family have been eradicated? They are just hiding, very deep."

"Then," Shen Xinglan looked at Shen Boyu and asked, "Since we already know about this matter, do we want to say hello to the royal family?"

"Say hello to the royal family? Do you think they believe the Tang bandits or our Shen family? Why do they do it when it is obvious that they are despised?" Shen Boyu had a faint smile on his lips and playful eyes. Said: "It would be bad if the royal family felt that our Shen family was excluding dissenters. After all, those are the people they want to reuse."

"But..." Shen Xinglan was a little worried about Fenghuang.

He was worried that Bandit Tang was a conspirator, and he approached Fenghuang to avenge Tang Li and the Tang family.

If he really came with this purpose, then Phoenix's situation would be extremely dangerous.

She trusted Tang Bandit too much and had no defense against him.

He and I are gradually drifting apart, and such a close relationship has become the most familiar stranger.

Thinking of this, Shen Xinglan's heart became cold.

Shen Boyu seemed to have seen through Shen Xinglan's thoughts, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said with a serious expression: "Don't forget, the Shen family now is very much like the Tang family back then. What they did to the Tang family What happened can also be replicated on the Shen family."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan responded solemnly.

"Since we couldn't kill him this time, it's because this kid shouldn't die." Shen Boyu said loudly: "Let's just watch from the side and see what kind of surprise they can bring us. "

"Lu Yu, I hope you won't disappoint me."

——

Tang Bandi was lying on the hospital bed, a little bored.

He slept in the coma stage for too long, as if he had slept all this month.

Once awake, there is no way to fall asleep again.

Moreover, his injuries were not serious. He just fainted because his yin and yang energy was exhausted and his body lost its strength.

After the doctor's treatment and the input of various expensive nutrients, the yin and yang energy in the body slowly began to rise and began to flow and operate in the blood meridians of the body again.

Tang Bandi feels that his current physical condition is very good and he is extremely comfortable.

He hadn't rested for a long time, because this "coma" made him completely and completely relax.

When he just woke up, Xuanyuan Mingjing and Si Yinchuan looked at him once and never came again.

Except for the doctor who came over from time to time to check Tang Bandi's condition and record various data on the equipment, Tang Bandit was happy to be in peace and quiet.

"Doctor, when can I be discharged from the hospital?" Tang Bandi looked at the doctor and asked.

He felt that nothing was wrong with his body and lying here was just a waste of time.

He wanted to get out, he had too much to do.

"Wait," the doctor said.

"When?"

"Wait until I think you can be discharged."

"Isn't there nothing wrong with me?"

"I think so too, but you are the dean's disciple. The dean asked you to take a good rest for a few days. We all have to listen to the dean."

"."

The doctor moved out Xuanyuan Mingjing, leaving Tang Bandit with nothing to do.

He was going to wait until Xuanyuan Mingjing came again, have a good communication with him, and allow himself to be discharged from the hospital to rest.

The doctor helped Tang Bandi change another bottle of energy liquid, then walked out of the ward with his hands in his white coat.

Tang Bandi closed his eyes and was about to take a nap when the door to the ward was slammed open.

"Brother, are you okay? Brother."

A fat figure rushed towards him like a hill.

Tang Bandit saw Xiaopang and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Sister Phoenix brought me here."

Xiaopang looked at Tang Bandit nervously. There were beads of sweat on his forehead because he ran so fast. He asked anxiously: "Brother, are you okay? Where are you injured? Is it Shen Xinglan? I know this. The pretty boy is not a good person."

Before Tang Bandi had time to answer, the door to the room was pushed open again. Accompanied by Si Yinchuan, the vice president of Bailu Academy, Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai walked in from the outside.

Tang Bandi and Fenghuang looked at each other, and saw deep concern in her eyes.

But because Si Yinchuan was present, she couldn't express it nakedly.

Si Yinchuan looked at Tang Bandit with a smile and said jokingly: "You are so proud of yourself. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Sheng came to visit you personally."

"It proves that I am a more trustworthy person, and the friends I make are all true friends." Tang Bandit responded.

On the way here, Fenghuang already knew from Si Yinchuan that Tang Bandi's injury was not serious and he could be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest, so she was not in a hurry now. She walked to the edge of the ward, looked at Tang Bandi and said: "I heard that you were sick. Xiaopang was very anxious and wanted to come over to see you. He couldn't come by himself, so I shamelessly begged the director of the department to help make arrangements."

Xiaopang nodded seriously and agreed, "Yes, I took the initiative to call Sister Phoenix."

"." Tang Bandit.

"."Phoenix.

With a clear smile on his face, Si Yinchuan said loudly: "What is this? If you want to come over, just say hello. From now on, Her Royal Highness the Princess can come whenever she wants."

"Then I need to trouble the director of the department." Fenghuang bowed and thanked her. At this time, she still had to act like a princess.

Si Yinchuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said: "Oh, the dean is still waiting for me to play chess. I feel happy when I see you young people, but I forget about it as soon as we start talking. If you talk nicely, I won't accompany you. It’s burning.”

After saying that, he bowed to Phoenix, patted Tang Bandit on the shoulder, then turned and walked outside.

Sheng Xinhuai's charming big eyes glanced around Tang Bandit's face and body, and asked aloud: "Are there any missing parts?"

"I just lost strength and was not injured at all." Tang Bandi explained aloud.

"That's good." Sheng Xinhuai nodded and said aloud: "I have to ask someone clearly, if you are missing arms or legs, or if you lose any important parts, how will your lower body survive?"

"."

Tang Bandit looked at Sheng Xinhuai speechlessly. The woman started driving as soon as she disagreed.

This is a hospital, so we don't pay any attention to the occasion.

"It's okay." Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit with affectionate eyes and said loudly, "I heard that you were unconscious, but it scared people."

"It's okay." Tang Bandi looked at Phoenix and comforted softly: "It's okay at all, don't worry. Just now I asked the doctor if I could be discharged from the hospital. The doctor said that if I were an ordinary person, I could be discharged from the hospital today. But, Because I am the dean’s disciple, I have to be treated for two more days.”

"The dean's disciples are treated differently." Sheng Xinhuai curled her lips and said, "It's all our taxpayers' money."

"Then you want the dean to let me out now?" Tang Bandit said jokingly.

Sheng Xinhuai shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't dare to do that."

Tang Bandit looked at the grand palace attire worn by Phoenix and asked, "Where did you just come back from?"

"Someone was on an inspection abroad. I heard that you came back from the old land and fell into a coma. He immediately canceled all your upcoming trips and abandoned the handsome prince. He rushed back that night without stopping."

"Xinhuai" Fenghuang stopped him.

Sheng Xinhuai expressed her feelings in public, which made her a little embarrassed.

Sheng Xinhuai was not ready to stop there, and continued: "I thought this was a farewell, the last time we met. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the ward, he didn't say anything, and his face looked quite rosy. You just have a normal face. A few more cuts on the upper body can make our princess shed a few tears."

Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and said loudly: "I can't bear to let Her Royal Highness wipe her tears."

"." Phoenix became even more shy.

Xiafei's cheeks and even the slender neck that could not be concealed by the white dress were covered with a faint layer of pink.

Why does this guy dare to say anything?

"Ouch, it's so sour." Sheng Xinhuai deliberately made a disgusting look with goosebumps all over his body.

She patted Fatty on the shoulder and said, "Little Fatty, please take me to the bathroom."

"Teacher Sheng, I've never been here before, so I don't know where the bathroom is." Xiaopang said in a very embarrassed tone.

"Then you come with me to find it." Sheng Xinhuai picked up Xiaopang and walked outside.

Tang Bandi and Fenghuang were the only two people left in the ward.
