[Comprehensive martial arts] A scholar who is useless

The old man looked at him and said with a smile: "What's the use of the old man's purpose book even if you know it?"

"I don't believe Mr. Shu that you will go to the government to report on this old man," said Zhennan Prince, stroking his beard, "but I'm afraid it will not be easy for you to join us, so even if you know the old man's And what good is intention?"

Shu Mingshen was speechless for a while, he really couldn't do anything, after all, if this person was really his biological father, he couldn't really go to the government office to report on the other party as the other party said, so he paused, lightly He coughed and said, "If your Excellency doesn't want to say anything, then forget it."

Because even he himself didn't figure out what to do at the moment.

However, King Zhennan blinked and looked at him and said, "I didn't say I couldn't tell you, but I was afraid that if you knew it, it would only increase your troubles."

Seeing Shu Ming staring at him with deep eyes, King Zhennan cleared his throat and said, "Since you already know what happened 20 years ago, you should also know that this old man has always held a grudge against this matter. How can I let it go so easily, so the old man came here to avenge the old grievances of 20 years ago!"

"Only these?" Shu Ming looked at the other party deeply and frowned.

King Zhennan sighed deeply and said, "Of course, if you agree to help father, then our plan will go more smoothly."

Shu Ming looked at the other party expressionlessly, then lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Zhennan Wang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Although the disaster 20 years ago was caused by you, my son doesn't have to blame himself too much for it, after all, you were only half a year old at that time. If it wasn’t for the stupid and incompetent dog emperor, how could he listen to other people’s bewitching words and kill my family?”

"..." Shu Mingshen's body couldn't help being a little stiff, and he paused for a long time before looking up at the other party and saying, "You really didn't intend to seek rebellion at that time?"

King Zhennan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, folded his arms and said: "So what if there is no, so what, anyway, the dog emperor ordered to kill all of my lineage, this old man must avenge this revenge no matter what!"

"And even if I don't have the intention of rebellion, as long as the old man still exists in this world, the emperor will regard me as a thorn in his flesh, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly." King Zhennan sneered: "Even if I want to kill He, that was just for self-protection!"

"But he is your king after all." Shu Mingshen seemed a little uncomfortable, but he still looked at him and said, "Loyalty to the king and patriotism is the duty of a subject..."

In fact, what Shu Mingshen said was not very emboldened. Although he said that "the ruler wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", but when that time comes, if the other party really has no intention of treason, then it is still too unjust to die. What's more, hundreds of human lives disappeared in the blink of an eye, how could it be clear that a mere sentence "the emperor wants the minister to die"?

But even so, Shu Mingshen, as a person who is familiar with the ancient books of Confucianism, still teaches him not to be disobedient to the king. However, if one day the emperor really orders him to write someone to apologize ...

"..." Shu Ming frowned deeply, thinking hard, then would he really risk his life according to the other party's decree?

King Zhennan snorted coldly when he heard the words, stood up and walked to the window, looked at the lush courtyard outside the window and said: "Then what if the person he wants to kill is not you, but Gong Jiu?"

Shu Ming couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, and looked at the other party dumbfounded: "..."

Zhennan Wang turned around, looked at Shu Mingshen's stupid look at the moment, smiled and said: "I heard before that you have a 'close relationship' with that Ninth Young Master, but now it seems that it is true .”

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at Shu Mingshen with some deep meaning.

Shu Mingshen couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up and walked two steps towards the other party: "You said he wanted to kill Brother Nine, but is it true?"

King Zhennan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, did the old man say that?"

Seeing Shu Mingshen looking at himself with some depression, King Zhennan said slowly: "Although he doesn't have such an idea now, if your ninth brother continues to act like this, it will be a matter of time before something happens..."

"Ninth brother, he is not that kind of person!" Shu Ming frowned deeply, and argued with reason: "Don't think that you have some schemes, just pretend that everyone is just like you!"

King Zhennan didn't mind his arrogance, but just looked at him coldly and said, "How long have you been in contact with him, how do you know what kind of person he is? Although the old man has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, he has many eyes and ears in the Central Plains." , I got much more information secretly than you!"

"Don't think that he is a good man just because he looks like a gentleman in front of you." Zhennan Wang sneered and said, "Do you think he doesn't want to get close to you? He just looks at you like this." Stupid, that's why I came up with this method to use you, and only you will be fooled by that little fox's acting skills!"

Shu Ming was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't find anything to refute the other party. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "I believe Brother Ninth will never be such a person. Your Excellency is probably just used to fighting with others." That's why I don't think anyone looks like a good person!"

King Zhennan saw that the other party was like this, so he didn't say much anymore. After all, Shu Mingshen was being fascinated by the little fox now, even if he said it to the sky, the other party would not believe his words.

So he said: "Since you don't believe the old man's good words, let's wait and see."

"If Gong Jiu approached you without any ulterior motives, the old man will never care about your affairs from now on," King Zhennan said, "I'm just worried that you will be cheated out of your life by then, and I don't know yet. Why did I die..."

Shuming made a serious face, and said coldly: "You don't need to worry about whether I will be deceived, as long as you don't come to deceive me!"

Zhennan Wang shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "The old man has never lied to you, and even if the old man wants to lie to you, it must be for your own good. Do you still think that father will come all the way to harm you?"

"..." Shu Ming was silent when he heard the words, but after glancing at the other party again, he turned and walked towards the door.

And just when he was about to step out the door, Zhennan Wang's voice came from behind him again: "If you have anything to do, you can ask Huai Shu to inform me, and, be careful, Gong Jiu, that little girl!" Foxes are by no means as easy to deal with as you think..."

"..." Shu Ming looked back at the other party deeply, and then walked out of the door expressionlessly.

King Zhennan had been watching the other party being led out of the gate of the courtyard by Bai Huaishu, and finally sighed slightly.

Although he came to Shu Mingshen not at all for the purpose of taking advantage of him, but he is the father of the other party after all, even if Shu Mingshen refuses to recognize him until now, he will not harm the other party, but Gong Jiu and others can Not necessarily.

He has almost found out the identities of the assassins who went to assassinate Shu Mingshen before, including Ye Gucheng and others, all of them are not easy to get along with, but these people are okay to say, the most troublesome thing for him That person was indeed Gong Jiu.

After all, the other party's methods are too clever. Shu Mingshen completely regards him as his best friend and confidant at this moment. It is not easy to break the connection between the two easily. He still needs to think of other ways. ...

He is just such a son, even if the other party refuses to recognize him, and usually looks stupid and completely ignorant, he will never let the other party fall into the trap of those malicious wolves and tigers hand!

"Little fox..." Prince Zhennan sneered, trying to abduct his son?He will not let your trick succeed!

Shu Mingshen walked absent-mindedly on the road, while Bai Huaishu hid in the dark to protect his safety, until Shu Mingshen stepped into the gate of Ximen Chuuxue's courtyard, and the other party quietly returned to his master Return to life.

However, just as Shu Mingshen pushed open the gate of the bamboo fence courtyard in front of him, he found that there seemed to be a few more people in the courtyard today than usual...

"Brother Shu, long time no see, are you okay?"

Not only is there Ximen Chuixue in the yard, but Huamanlou and Aji came here at some unknown time, and what is even more surprising is that Chu Liuxiang is sitting at the stone table in the yard having a good time with Huamanlou and others. Drinking tea and chatting, and greeted him happily after seeing him enter the door.

"You..." Shu Ming walked in the door with some doubts, completely unaware why the other party appeared here.

As soon as Hua Manlou heard his voice, he turned around and said to him, "Brother Shu, although this place is relatively safe, you'd better not go out alone, otherwise, if you don't come back later, you will be killed next time." I'm afraid I'm going to go out to find your trace later."

Shu Ming raised his hands and scratched his hair in embarrassment when he heard the words, and apologized to the other party, then turned his head to look at Chu Liuxiang and Aji beside him and said, "Why are you here?"

"..." Aji just nodded and smiled at him when he heard the words, and remained taciturn as usual.

But Chu Liuxiang blinked at him mysteriously and said, "Of course I'm waiting here to give you a gift, Brother Shu!"

"Gifts?" Shu Ming got up when he heard that the words became more and more unclear. Then, seeing Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly, he turned his head and shouted in the direction of the room: "Brother Ninth, if you don't come out again, Brother Shu, I'm afraid I'm going to find you!"

Hearing Chu Liuxiang's words, Shu Ming was stunned and couldn't recover. Immediately after, he saw a tall and handsome young man in white clothes who walked out of the room unhurriedly, smiling as he walked. He said: "Don't tell Brother Shu to come and look for me, if Brother Shu doesn't come back again, I'm afraid I will go out to look for him like the playboy said!"

Saying that, he walked to the side in front of Shu Mingshen who was still standing there blankly, put his hand on the other's shoulder and patted it lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Lao Shu has always cared about my safety, now I finally Fortunately, I escaped from the clutches of the devil, so I came back here to look for you, Brother Shu!"

Shu Ming looked at the other party deeply, as if his eye circles were flushed with joy, he grabbed the other party's hand on his shoulder and said, "Ninth brother, are you all right? How did you learn from that Mrs. Shi?" escaped from the hand?!"

Gong Jiu took the opponent's hand, led him to sit down at the table, and said slowly: "Of course, it is thanks to Brother Aji and Brother Chu who came to rescue me, so that I was able to get out of trouble, so I am here I also want to thank the two of you for saving your life!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Ninth brother is serious. Since ninth brother is a friend of Shu brother, he is also a friend of the two of us. If a friend is in trouble, how can Chu wait for the reason to sit idly by?"

"Fortunately, Aji finally found Mrs. Shi's lair after many investigations and found out the path inside, so the two of us were able to successfully rescue the ninth brother from Shi Guanyin's hands."

The group chatted here happily for a long time, and after a long while, Gong Jiu said hesitantly: "After all, this place is under the foot of the emperor, I'm afraid it's not safe for Brother Shu here, although others dare not make trouble here, but ..."

What they worry about is another, more difficult enemy.

After all, Shu Mingshen's identity is a descendant of a traitor, and he is the orphan of a person who was supposed to exterminate the nine clans back then. It would be too unsafe to ask the other party to stay in the capital.

Chu Liuxiang also knew Shu Mingshen's identity at this moment, and she couldn't help but nodded and said, "But the question is, where is the absolute safe place? With Brother Shu's current situation, I'm afraid no matter where he goes, he can't be called a safe……"

Hua Manlou and the others also began to think about it when they heard the words.

Although they can protect Shu Mingshen for a while, they cannot protect each other for a lifetime. For now, the most important thing is to find a hiding place for each other.

Just when everyone was contemplating, Gong Jiu suddenly said: "I know a quite safe hiding place... At least few people know the situation there, if Brother Shu can go here for a while For a while, it's safer than staying in the capital."

After hearing the words deeply, Shu Ming couldn't help asking curiously: "I don't know what place Ninth Brother is talking about?"

Gong Jiudao: "That is a secluded island far away overseas. I have been there several times before, and I am quite familiar with the people there. If Brother Shu has nowhere to go, why not go to that island for now Go up to avoid the limelight, wait here for the wind to be quieter, and it won't be too late to come back."

Shu Mingshen naturally believed in the Ninth Young Master, so after thinking for a while, he agreed directly. Anyway, he has nowhere to go at the moment, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble for Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuuxue and others. Therefore, finding a safe hiding place to hide temporarily for a period of time is also a very good choice.

And since Shu Mingshen agreed, Chu Liuxiang and others naturally had no objection, so after a brief discussion, everyone planned to set off to sea in two days, and send Shu Mingshen to the isolated palace that Gong Jiu mentioned. , Inaccessible isolated island...

In the evening, Shu Mingshen sat at the table in the bedroom, smiling and looking at Gong Jiufu's family letter to King Taiping to report his safety.

Wait until the other party finishes writing the letter, put away the pen and paper, and stare at the other party, unable to recover.

And Gong Jiu looked at his dazed look, couldn't help but hesitated a little and said: "Brother Shu?"
