Chapter 336 Tong Ming
Chapter 336 Tong Ming
Shen Wen wanted to follow Tong Ming and leave Ji Mansion quietly, but Tong Ming didn't want to agree. Shen Wen grabbed Tong Ming's clothes like a naughty child and said, "If you don't take me away, I will tell Tong Xianyu and Xiao Jiu, the younger generations, about the hypocritical things you did when you were young."
Tong Ming glanced at him and asked, "What did you just say?"
Shen Wen said: "It's about wearing a gauze dress to seduce the prince, and..."
Tong Ming covered Shen Wen's mouth with his hand and stammered, "How did you know about this... How much do you know?"
Seeing his serious and nervous look, Shen Wen said, "Not much, I just...didn't you use the Yuanzhu to heal my wounds? I saw those things unconsciously in my mind. But come to think of it, you were so beautiful back then...you were so stunning, it was simply mouth-watering. How come you were reborn as a boy? If you were a woman, you would be a disaster to the country and the people...ah...not stunningly beautiful anymore."
Tong Ming didn't want anyone to mention his tribulation in the mortal world, so he immediately told him to shut up.
Tong Ming suddenly discovered a problem. He asked, "What did you just say? You can actually spy on my past? You? How is this possible?"
Shen Wen just thought of this question, and he was also puzzled. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe when I was dreaming, it just happened to overlap with your past. Who knows?"
The two were talking in the house when they heard the maid who had gone out to report the news came back with someone. Tong Ming grabbed Shen Wen in his hand, performed a shape-shifting spell, and quickly reached the street. When he looked back, he was already outside the gate of Duke Ji's mansion.
Tong Ming took him out of the Ji Mansion and was impatient to leave, telling Shen Wen to quickly leave the Ji Mansion as well. His tone showed that he was extremely annoyed with the Ji Mansion.
Shen Wen looked back at the gate of Duke Ji's mansion. It was quiet at the entrance. Two guards were standing there, and there were a few pedestrians walking on the street.
Shen Wen and Tong Ming said goodbye and were about to turn around and leave. At this time, a sneaky servant passed by them. He acted rashly and accidentally touched Shen Wen's shoulder.
Seeing this, Tong Ming suddenly grabbed Shen Wen's arm and looked at him.
Shen Wen is different now than before. The world in front of him is like a satellite eye. Just by being touched, some things suddenly pop up in his head.
This servant was the spy sent by Lord Shen to find Shen Wen. He did not just come to Duke Ji's mansion to watch the fun. He had been waiting in the Ji mansion for three days.
After watching the servant walk away, Tong Ming said to Shen Wen, "You have left the Jiguo Mansion. Where are you going? I tell you, you can go anywhere, but don't go to the Shen Mansion. Lord Shen is cunning and cruel. The Shen family has had ups and downs in the past six months, but the old... cough, your Lord is still alive and kicking. There is one thing you probably don't know. Lord Shen is valued by the Emperor again."
Shen Wen looked up at Tong Ming and said, "So soon? Does your emperor have intermittent amnesia? It's only been a few days since he stripped the power of the Shen Mansion? And he's already re-employed?"
Tong Ming suddenly seemed to have just remembered something. He touched the back of his head and said, "I seem to have revealed this matter in advance. That... the restoration of Lord Shen to his position seems to have not yet been issued by the imperial decree."
Shen Wen said: "What does this mean?"
Tong Ming said evasively, "In short, don't go hanging around Lord Shen. He has been eyeing this piece of fat meat at his fingertips. Moreover, he is an old fox who gets more and more evil as he grows older. He will do anything to consolidate his power."
Shen Wen was even more confused when he heard him say that. He said, "What do you know? Tell me quickly. You said that I would be tricked by him. Just tell me the truth in advance so that I can be prepared."
Tong Ming stared at Shen Wen quietly, struggling in his heart, but said coldly: "I told you to be careful and hide, so just be careful and hide. Where does your curiosity come from? I won't say anymore, I have to go."
Shen Wen refused to give up and grabbed Tong Ming's arm to stop him from leaving. He said, "If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. I'm telling you, don't try to get rid of me. I will follow you to the palace. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. I will stay in your Taibai Palace."
Tong Ming shook his arm lightly, and Shen Wen's hand, which was tightly holding his arm, slipped away. Shen Wen looked at his hand coldly, thinking about the skill that Tong Ming had just displayed.
Tong Ming said, "You are not allowed to go to the palace. Don't you know that the emperor also covets your beauty? If you go there, you will be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth, don't you know?"
Seeing Shen Wen's stubborn temper, he seemed impatient and said, "Okay, I'll tell you some information. Back then, Lord Shen was the young Duke Shen, who was highly regarded by Emperor Shizong. Who did Emperor Shizong entrust the huge country to before he abdicated? Among them, there were naturally one or two trusted ministers, and this Duke Shen was one of them. Emperor Shizong handed over an important weapon to this Duke Shen. Do you understand now? So the official status of this Duke Shen is difficult to shake. Even if the young emperor doesn't like to target him, as long as he holds the weapon given by the previous emperor, he can be protected for life."
This was the first time Shen Wen had heard of this. He asked, "Do you know what the killer weapon is?"
Tong Ming blamed him for asking too many questions. He patted Shen Wen's head with his soft and tender hands and said, "Why are you so curious? The more you know, the worse it is for you. Anyway, don't show up in front of Duke Shen, and don't run to the palace. If you want to avoid disaster, I think you should go to Mr. Zhong's old house. That place is good. You don't have to worry about food or drink. You can lie there and enjoy yourself for the rest of your life without being discovered. If you had listened to me from the beginning, I should have hidden you there as an idler for the rest of your life, and you wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Shen Wen wanted to ask more.
Tong Ming didn't give him a chance. He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped him and said, "I calculated that you have a very bad omen these days. I'm not trying to scare you. You must stay away from those two, and... don't even contact Prince Rui. You are too bold. Do you know what Prince Rui is like? Be careful that he will target you and eat you whole. I'm not trying to scare you. He really eats human flesh, do you know that?"
After saying that, Tong Ming made some hand gestures and escaped on the spot and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Wen saw the person disappear. He was so unwilling that he stamped his feet on the spot.
Shen Wen walked leisurely on the street alone, thinking over and over again what Tong Ming said to him before he left, and what happened in his dreams while he was unconscious. In fact, several people came to visit him in his bedside during his coma, including the Fox Ancestor and the other two Immortal Lords of the West Palace. He even vaguely felt that the Stone Cliff Fairy had also been there.
When he was thinking about something and turned into another larger street, suddenly a little beggar stopped Shen Wen and asked him, "Are you the Seventeenth Young Master Shen from the Ji Mansion?" Seeing that the little beggar was dirty, but had clear eyes and looked very smart and likable, Shen Wen said, "It's me. How do you know I'm the Seventeenth Young Master Shen from the Ji Mansion?" The little beggar said, "I have seen you in front of the gate of the Ji Mansion. A young master asked me to give you a letter two days ago. He said that you'd better go to him as soon as possible after reading the letter." After that, the little beggar gave the letter in his hand to Shen Wen and ran away immediately.
Shen Wen opened the letter in his hand, and the signature below was Qu Qiushui. Qu Qiushui only said, "There is a clue about the Hongwan Mountain Heavenly Soldiers. It is in Honglian Villa. I will go to Honglian Villa to investigate first and wait for you."
Shen Wen knew that Honglian Villa was the territory of Prince Rui. When he remembered Tong Ming's warning, he had the idea of retreating. Even without Tong Ming's warning, Shen Wen would naturally realize the danger of Prince Rui.
As Shen Wen was thinking, a Taoist priest holding a whisk passed by him and suddenly stopped him and said, "I think I have a great affinity with this young man. Can we find a place to talk?"
When Shen Wen saw the Taoist priest for the first time, he already knew who this person was. He just looked at the Taoist priest with a sneer.
The Taoist priest also looked at Shen Wen coldly and arrogantly. He suddenly smiled more enthusiastically and said, "I don't know much about fortune-telling. I see that this young man has just escaped a bloody disaster. If you believe me, I will tell you a fortune for free to avoid disaster and bring you good luck. Is that okay?"
As he said this, he put his hand on Shen Wen's arm, but Shen Wen grabbed the Taoist's hand and said, "Oh, that's not right! You are a Taoist priest with limited skills. I have obviously escaped two bloody disasters. You probably forgot that I was almost swept into hell by a flood and hurricane on this street."
The Taoist was a little surprised when he grabbed his hand, but before he could guess Shen Wen's intention, he disappeared into the street out of thin air.
Shen Wen collected his thoughts, and was very surprised by his sudden idea. He instantly moved the dead Taoist priest to the weapon space-time, but he was not too sure...
Anyway, he used his mind to capture a living person, but his consciousness was interspersed with a modern world of hot weapons fighting, probably. Maybe? Could it be? Was the Taoist teleported to the battlefield?
Shen Wen was very happy. He never thought that it was just an experiment to see if he could put a living person into the space. But a thought actually succeeded. He looked at his hands proudly.
That Taoist priest was in a miserable situation. He was thrown into the modern battlefield by Shen Wen's idea, and happened to encounter a missile launched by a certain country. The missile brushed past his head and fell down, blowing this ancient man who knew nothing up into the sky and then down again. The soil that the missile blew up into the sky buried him on the spot, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
On the other side, after Shen Wen dealt with the dead Taoist priest and cleaned up the bad luck on his hands, he went shopping happily again. He decided to listen to Tong Ming this time and return to his three-room house to have fun for a few days, and think about how to use the divine power passed on to him by Qingcheng to play some tricks. But before that, he had to go to the villa first. If Qingcheng had left behind a body, he, as a person who had received a great gift, must take good care of Qingcheng.
On second thought, perhaps Second Madam Ji had already sent someone to take care of Qingcheng's aftermath, or maybe she would send Qingcheng's body back to the Kingdom of Nanfan. Thinking of Qingcheng, Shen Wen's face became gloomy.
