Fight wits and courage with drama masters every day

"Well." Xuan Xing said: "My mother is in charge of the family's expenses and has done some business outside. When she has some things to sell to other places and there is no one to help, I will ask your elder brother for help. Fortunately, there are not many. No trouble many times."

"Oh." Shen Jue responded, and took the latest letter, "Then can you give me this letter?"

"Of course." Xuan Xing put all the other letters back on the table, "I let the kitchen keep the food warm, do you want something to eat?"

Shen Jue put the envelope under the pillow and smiled happily: "Yes."

Xuan Xing didn't ask how he got rid of his protector that night, nor did he ask where he went during the few hours when he couldn't find anyone. So, even morning exercises are exempted.

Until the third day, this day was the day he made an appointment to see Xuan Xing before he escaped. He only struggled for a second, then lay down again, and ran away. Would he still throw himself into the trap?

That's what fools do.

On the contrary, Xuan Xing told him when he was about to go to court in the early morning, saying that he would not come back to eat, and let him eat well.

Shen Jue fell into a drowsy sleep, turned over with a groan and continued to sleep, when he woke up, it was already broad daylight, and the servants outside the bedroom had been waiting for a long time, and upon hearing the noise, he hurriedly served meals.

After eating in a hurry, he went to the yard to look at the flowers, and after a while he turned his head and greeted Jiayi who was beside him: "Where's your lord?"

"Your Excellency has an errand, and you may not be back until later today." A replied.

Shen Jue's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and suddenly thought of what day it was, he was startled for a second, and quickly lay back down: "That's fine."

It wasn't until the sun gradually moved from the yard to the corridor that Shen Jue got up and went back to the house, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw a figure standing in front of the window, seeing him coming in, and nodding at him with a smile.

Seeing that Chang Tong was nervous, Shen Jue slammed the door shut and shut Jia Yi out.

As soon as A reacted a step slower, his nose came into close contact with the door panel, which caused golden flowers in his eyes and blood from his nose. He held his nose and looked at the closed door in front of him, wondering if Mr. Shen was unhappy He asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Shen?"

"It's okay." In just a breath, Shen Jue had already settled down, opened the door again, and looked at Jia Yi embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped just now, is your nose okay?"

"It's okay." A gasped in pain, tears swirled back and forth in his eyes but refused to fall, he is a strong man, he can't cry, "Mr. Shen will take medicine soon, do you want to rest?"

"Yeah." Shen Jue apologized to him again very apologetically, and told him to go to the witch doctor to have a look at his nose, and after dismissing him, he turned around and closed the door again.

Chang Tong in front of the window had already poured tea by himself, and when he saw Shen Jue approaching, he looked up at his face: "I've made it through, I'm in good health."

Shen Jue sat opposite him: "What are you doing here?"

"Let's see if some fool will really go to the three-day appointment." Chang Zai sat there with an expression as calm as his own bedroom.

Shen Jue shook his head helplessly: "Then you saw it now, I didn't go."

"It's pretty good." Chang Tong said, "It's not stupid enough."

After all, Chang Tong didn't leave immediately after watching him. Shen Jue didn't think that Yingying was so idle. He only thought that he had other things to tell him, and he didn't rush to speak first, and waited in a leisurely manner. .

Chang Tong Gulu Gulu poured a pot of water and saw that Shen Jue hadn't spoken yet, so he couldn't sit still, so he found a topic for himself: "Xuan Xing borrowed troops from Dali Temple to surround Liuye Lake and Wangyue Tower, why don't you go?" That's right."

"En." Shen Jue poked at the potted plants on the table.

"It's not impossible if you want to go." Chang Tong said the second half of the sentence, "I can go there for you."

Shen Jue straightened up and looked at him: "Go to the place of swords and swords for me? Forget it, what are you going to do, thank you for the medicine bag the day before yesterday, if you need my help, just tell me."

After he finished speaking, Chang Tong was silent for a long time before he said: "You are Shen Qiping's second son, is Shen Jue?"

"No." Shen Jue blurted out the words of denial.

Chang Tong was confused by the speed of his refusal, and it took him a while to say with certainty: "You are, Shen Qiping's second son Qingyang, Xuan Xing called you more than once, and you did enter the Shen family's compound that night. "

Shen Jue didn't speak, just looked at him like this, Chang Tong, who has always been shameless and skinless, was the first to lose the battle today: "Well, you are not, I have something to ask the Shen family for help, can you help me set up the line?"

This time he let go: "What's the matter?"

"Help me find someone." Chang Tong said, "It's a girl, one year older than me, about double 12 years old this year, ten years ago, she passed through Ningyang from Sanghou, and went to Jiangnan Wushi, if the Shen family can help me with this , I will repay you.”

"Look for someone." Shen Jue was relieved when he heard that it was not a big deal, and he could still afford this favor, "I'll help you find someone, and it's like repaying the kindness for saving me before."

"Really? Thank you, Fengchi." Seeing that Shen Jue had really agreed to this matter, his long-pale face turned a tinge of blood, and he described the woman's features in great detail, fearing that Shen Jue might not be able to remember. Hold on, pick up a pen and draw it by yourself.

Shen Jue was watching from the side, without any hesitation when he wrote, he outlined the woman's appearance with each stroke, she was very good-looking, and her smiling eyes made people feel happy just by looking at it, Chang Tong should be in his heart Only after drawing the person thousands of times can he draw the person so vividly, Shen Jue felt that the girl could walk out of the paper in a second.

It wasn't until he finished writing that Shen Jue said, "Is this girl your sweetheart, she looks so pretty."

"The girl I met when I was walking in the rivers and lakes before." Chang Tong Yuemo had never talked to anyone about this before, and his tone was a bit nostalgic, "Ten years have passed, and I am afraid she will be married long ago. I just want to know if the Wu family treats her well. to disturb her."

"Yeah." It's rare to meet someone with love and righteousness. Shen Jue took the scroll. If it was just to repay the favor before, this time he really wanted to help. "The painting skills are so good, it seems like it will come back to life."

Hearing this, Chang Tong smiled, with a bit of sadness between his brows: "I learned it when I was a child, it's not proper, I just often think about her appearance, so I can draw a little bit better."

It's only slightly better?Shen Jue was speechless, if he had painted like this when he was a child, he would have saved a lot of boards, and would not have to be whispered by A Niang, saying that he only studied martial arts and was never willing to spend too much time on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shen Jue put the painting on the window sill to wait to dry, Chang Tong's eyes still lingered on the painting: "She must have changed, this painting can only be used as a reference."

"Don't worry." Shen Jue said, "I will let the Shen family find it for you."

Hearing what he said, Chang Tong took his eyes back, and put his face back on: "The Shen family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, I am very relieved with your promise, Fengchi, I remember that the Shen family did not commit any serious crimes, you How did you get in?"

"What is a major event?" Shen Jue seemed to be looking at the drawing paper, but was actually in a daze, and turned to look at Chang Tong when he heard Chang Tong's words.

Chang Tong looked into his eyes and said word by word: "It's a big matter of ransacking the house and destroying the family."

Shen Jue's originally lazy eyes vibrated violently, and his heart was full of turmoil, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Chang Tong, pretending to be very calm and asking: "What did your family do to ransack the house?"

"Corruption." Chang Tong smiled wryly, "My family is in Ningyang. I am the prefect there. My family is very rich. I grew up rich and well-clothed, and I didn't suffer much until I was 11 years old. I only knew how much money my father had embezzled because of the drought and starvation of the people. It was also the first time I knew that my family’s money could be piled up into a small mountain. My whole family was beheaded, and only I was sent to the palace alive. Came into the shadows, and became shadows ever since."

Shen Jue's heart was in a state of confusion, as if a gust of wind whizzed through his mind and destroyed all his thoughts, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just said hoarsely.

Chang Tong was taken aback by his appearance: "Your family matters are bigger than this? Don't worry, I just don't ask, don't worry."

Shen Jue took Chang Tong's poured warm water and took a sip with trembling hands, only to feel a little relieved.

The serious crime of ransacking homes and destroying families, these seven words have been circling in his mind at this time, and it took him a long time to return to Chang Tong's question and ask: "There are 73 people in the Shadow, are they all orphans who ransacked their homes and destroyed their families? "

Chang Tong didn't directly answer his question this time, but just sighed and said, "Fengchi, you forgot that I am a shadow just like you, we have all learned how to tell whether a person is lying, and it is your current state of mind. In the midst of chaos, you didn't come in by raiding your home, how did you get into the shadows?"

Shen Jue didn't expect to sell himself by opening his mouth, so he resolutely shut up and concentrated on drinking the warm water in his hand.

Seeing that he really didn't want to talk about it, Chang Tong didn't ask any more questions, and then answered his question: "The 73 people in the shadow, whether they are alive or dead, are all orphans of criminal and rebellious officials, without exception."

Shen Jue had already thought about this possibility in his heart, but he was still very shocked when he heard it with his own ears, and he put down the teacup in his hand after a long time: "I have been in Shadow for five years, and I only know about it now."

"I knew it earlier..." What could I do if I knew it earlier?Is he really out of the shadows?Could it be that he wants to watch the Shen family fall apart?

He couldn't do it, so he would definitely choose to enter the shadows. Now it's pointless to worry about these things. Shen Jue tried hard to recall what happened back then, but found that he had never cared about the government and had no way of knowing the truth of the year.

On the contrary, Chang entered the Shadow five years earlier than Shen Jue, and knew better: "If it was just about assassinating His Majesty back then, your family has actually suffered an unreasonable disaster."

"I know." Shen Jue didn't want to say more, "Before Dad resigned, he told me that being with you is like being with a tiger. It's better to go home and take care of business. He doesn't want to continue playing."
