The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 230 Tong Ming

Shen Wen asked Xiao Quanzi who sent the eunuchs to attack him this time.

Xiao Quanzi said, "I don't know."

Shen Wen said: "You know."

Xiao Quanzi said, "I don't know."

Shen Wen said: "You are still lying. When they saw you just now, they were obviously afraid of you. They all avoided your gaze and dared not face you."

Xiao Quanzi had no choice but to say, "They are from the Ministry of Punishment. I, a eunuch in the palace, worked in the Ministry of Punishment for a few days before."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Oh! What about the Ministry of Punishment? I heard that the eunuchs there are very vicious. No one who falls into their hands will survive."

Xiao Quanzi lowered his head and said nothing, glancing at the group of useless eunuchs on the ground with disdain.

Shen Wen touched his chin and muttered, "This is weird. Who has such a deep hatred for me? Throwing me into that kind of place doesn't mean I will end up well."

The frightened Shen Shuyu finally recovered and said, "Seventeenth brother, what should we do? Now that you have offended so many eunuchs in the palace, it is hard to say whether we can leave the palace!"

Shen Wen looked at the ring in his hand that he had taken from Xiao Quanzi and said casually, "Eunuch? What eunuch? I got lost and didn't see any eunuchs. As for the two eunuchs who led us here, they left us behind and left on their own."

Xiao Quanzi said, "Sir, we are lost. Why don't we go back the way we came?"

Shen Wen said: "Oh, that makes sense, let's go."

So Shen Wen swaggered away from the alley with Xiao Quanzi and Shen Shuyu.

When they turned into the previous alley, they unexpectedly ran into another group of people passing by them.

It looked like a moving carriage, with some carrying the sedan chair and some sitting on it. It was a royal scene and very imposing.

The nobleman in the sedan stopped right in front of Shen Wen. He was a handsome man, staring at Shen Wen with a pair of slender and bright eyes and smiling.

The man said, "Okay! Not bad! It seems you are not as weak as I thought."

Xiao Quanzi didn't know the nobleman, but he looked at the waist badge of the eunuch accompanying him, which was a word "Tong".

Xiao Quanzi immediately leaned over to Shen Wen's ear and said, "It's the princess of the West Palace, the princess of the White Palace, one of the five great palaces. Kneel down and salute."

After saying that, Xiao Quanzi knelt down first.

Upon seeing this, Shen Shuyu immediately knelt down, not daring to look up.

Shen Wen saw that this man had no ill will towards him. Instead, he felt a sense of intimacy between long-time friends, like an older brother appreciating his younger brother.

Shen Wen said: "It seems that you know the actions of those people very well."

The man smiled and said, "Of course I know. I am waiting here for you. If you are unable to escape, I will rescue you."

Shen Wen said: "What's the reason? Why did you save me?"

The man patted the seat next to him and said, "Come on, come on board with me. Don't hang around in a place like this. This is not a good place for chatting."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waited for Shen Wen to hold his hand.

Shen Wen thought about it, then really took the man's hand and sat on his carriage.

The carriage walked in front, and Xiao Quanzi and Shen Shuyu followed behind. Shen Wen would occasionally look back to see if the two were keeping up.

The Lady Taibai White Tong and Shen Wen were chatting on the phoenix carriage.

Shen Wen said: "May I ask what your name is, handsome boy?"

When the man heard him say that, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Pretty brother? Such an interesting name! However, you are younger than me, and I am older than Ziying. I am your grandfather, so I can't call you brother. How about this, I ask you to call me grandfather, but I'm afraid you won't want to. Just call me dad like the other kids. I am the third among my brothers, so call me Third Dad."

Shen Wen asked doubtfully: "Three...? Dad?"

There are two dads in front? What kind of family has so many dads?

The man said, "Calling me dad is just a name. There are not many children in my Tong clan, and they have been calling me that for five hundred years. Those who have established families and children have all left our clan first and settled down in all corners of the world. They never mention our clan again and have nothing to do with us. This name is just called that. But now, I feel wronged. You can just call me Third Dad like them."

I'm going!

Well! The grandson became a son, this person really suffered a loss.

but……

Shen Wen opened his mouth and said, "I can't say it! I want to ask your name. Don't you have a name?"

He said, "Of course I do. My name is Tong Ming."

The man sighed and said, "Come to think of it, no one has called me by my name for many years. Even Mr. Zhong didn't know my name back then."

Shen Wen said: "Who are you talking about? Mr. Zhong? Zhong Jie?"

The man said, "It seems to be called this name. Back then, we spent a few happy days together in Hanlu Mountain."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Oh! Is that so! That's easy to say. I think we should just be friends as peers. Zhong Jie and I are siblings, and that guy in his previous life... um? He called me sister."

Although he never called me that, although he always called me "man" and "female man"

Tong Ming did not force it, he said: "Okay, whatever you like."

Shen Wen remembered something, and he asked, "You mentioned Ziying before? Do you know if Ziying is still alive? Where is he?"

Tong Ming said, "Silly child, are you kidding me? Ziying died after giving birth to you. Didn't the Shen family tell anyone about this?"

Shen Wen then recalled his childhood and said, "I did say that, but I just hope he's alive."

Tong Ming sighed and said, "Hope is of some use. If he were alive, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble later."

Shen Wen turned around as usual, but he didn't see Xiao Quanzi and Shen Shuyu. He immediately said, "Stop! Where are my people? Why didn't they follow us? Where did you go?"

Tong Ming said, "Don't be nervous, those two people will be fine. I brought you to the West Palace. In front of it is the Sangze Palace where you will live. The fairyland is not a place suitable for mortals to stay for a long time. I am thinking about their lifespan."

Shen Wen listened to his words, just like listening to a patient in a mental hospital, but it didn't matter. Shen Wen said, "Can you promise that the two people I brought will be fine? You can't lie to me."

Tong Ming said: "I won't lie to you, you can rest assured."

The phoenix carriage traveled for a while and this time arrived at the gate of a palace. The plaque on the palace read "Sangze Palace".

Tong Ming said, "We're here, let's go in."

When the carriage descended, Tong Ming reached out to pull Shen Wen, wanting to get off the carriage with him.

Shen Wen, however, sat on the phoenix carriage without moving.

Tong Ming asked: "What's wrong?"

Shen Wen said: "I don't dare to go in. I have a few questions to ask you."

Tong Ming said, "Just ask."

Shen Wen said, "I heard you talk about our relationship with me earlier. So you, or you two, should be the closest people to Ziying and me?"

Tong Ming said: "Of course, we are a family."

Shen Wen said: "If you are so close, why did I never get any help from you during those difficult years?"

Tong Ming said: "It's not that we didn't help, it's that you didn't see our help."

Shen Wen looked at him with a mocking expression, and said, "Didn't you say you lived for five hundred years? You have lived for so many years, but Ziying is already dead. You are all so capable, so Ziying shouldn't have such a short life."

Tong Ming was silent.

Shen Wen said: "I don't believe you."

He asked Tong Ming to look at his body. He said, "You know I was a man before, but how can I be a man now? You said you helped me, but I really didn't see it. Now I am in such a mess and tattered state, you want me to believe you?"

Shen Wen stared at Tong Ming intently and said, "I wonder if you are a demon? Between you and that female demon Xian Shiya or Feng Wu, who is more powerful? In comparison, I still trust her more."

Tong Ming stared at him blankly for a long time, his eyes were complicated, and he smiled with mixed feelings and said: "After all, it was our illusion. We were wrong to think you were him. He and Ziying are both dead, so you are here."

There was a gleam of imperceptible lightning in his eyes, and the palace servants who were carrying the sedan chair around him became dull and lifeless background boards.

He sighed slowly, suppressed the sadness in his heart and said: "You are right, what's the point of living to such an old age, but you can't protect any of the people you want to protect. However, how can the eggs under the overturned nest remain intact? The disaster of Hanlu Mountain is our disaster, but it is also a disaster for him and Ziying. Back then, we couldn't take care of ourselves, so naturally we had no time to take care of Ziying. Now that you are here, you should also understand that his body has neither the talent of immortal bones nor the superiority of humans. It's not that I don't want to help him, but he really can't bear it!"

Tong Ming looked at him, trying to explain what he said with his own hands, but in the end he just said dryly: "You... understand?"

Shen Wen was touched by his sincerity. He said, "Okay, I'll believe you for now."

Tong Ming touched his hair like an intimate elder, gently stroked his head and said, "Your intuition is correct. Although Shiya has gone astray, she still can't let go of you. You are like Ziying, both of you are her children. Dear child, we will not harm you. We are only doing this for your own good."

Then he reached out to pull Shen Wen again.

Shen Wen was pulled up by him obediently.

Just then, a voice came into their ears: "I told you to listen to me, but you won't listen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wen felt a figure flash in front of them in the blink of an eye. Looking closely, it was another handsome man.

Chunyu Li!

Shen Wen pointed at him and said, "You, you, you! Chunyu..."

Chunyu Li smiled at him and said, "I will teach the younger generation a lesson later."

Chunyu Li looked at Tong Ming and said, "Luckily I came back in time, otherwise you would have ruined everything."

Tong Ming instantly felt like a child in front of him, and he snorted in dissatisfaction.
