Shen Tang still managed to smile on the surface.
I was already getting mad and cursing God.
Damn!
Is it fun to play tricks on her
Lin Feng's two little ones were not found, and Li Li's group of big ones were lost. Wu Hui and Ban Bu were left in Xiaocheng and their lives were unknown...
It took her great willpower to resist the urge to swear.
Gu Chi: “…”
He drank his tea silently with his eyes lowered.
He turned sideways and whispered to Qi Shan: "Qi Yuanliang, thank you for your hard work."
Qi·bewildered·Shan: “???”
Gu Ren was a warm-hearted person, and took the initiative to ask if he should send someone to look for him again, but Shen Tang refused. It was not that she was not tempted, but she knew it was too difficult to find someone in the current chaos. Gu Ren was not a local, and she had no friendship with him...
It wouldn't be a good idea to accept such a big favor from someone for nothing.
She was going to find it herself.
Seeing that Shen Tang was unwilling to accept his kindness, Gu Ren didn't want to force him. Instead, he smiled and changed the subject, talking about Shao Chong's affairs.
Gu Ren knew his own naughty boy's temper and strength best. He learned from Chao Lian that Shen Tang and Shao Chong had fought for hundreds of moves. He was shocked but also very excited - it would be a pity to miss such a talent.
only-
After some probing, he found that this young man seemed gentle and easy to talk to, and even had some childish fun, but once the hint of solicitation was mentioned, he would always laugh and change the subject. After one or two times, Gu Ren understood what it meant. His smile grew wider.
Still unwillingly trying another sentence.
"Does Shen Lang have any plans?"
Shen Tang said: "Let's find the missing people first."
Gu Ren sighed: "This is not easy..."
It's not that he was pouring cold water on you on purpose.
In the current chaos, the chance of finding a missing person is almost zero and the hope is slim, because no one knows whether the missing person has not been found or has died quietly somewhere.
Gu Ren said: "This is not a one-day job. I think Mr. Shen is a rare talent. Have you thought about your future plans?"
Whether or not you can find someone, you still have to live your life.
Shen Tang pondered for a few breaths, shook his head and said: "It's too early to say this now, maybe I will find a place to settle down..."
She felt a headache when talking about this.
Even the growth of a child requires an undisturbed environment.
Now she needs territory but no territory, and people... Li Li's gang is missing, and she needs money - that batch of tax silver is a good resource for development, but she has no people and no territory, only money.
What the hell is this? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Shen Tang gave God the middle finger in his heart.
Even though he was rejected outright, Gu Ren still smiled, without a trace of disappointment or regret on his face - it was normal to be rejected.
People nowadays value family background and origin. This young man is followed by two scholars of unfathomable strength. Although the seriously injured martial artist (Captain Yang) is useless, judging from the situation, he was not weak in his prime and his background is unfathomable!
I guess he is some low-key young man from an aristocratic family.
Looking back at myself—
It's not that Gu Ren has an inferiority complex, but he is clearly aware of his strengths and weaknesses. Thanks to the protection of his ancestors, although his family was not well off when he was young, he was also known as a "son of a noble family". He was fortunate to learn from a famous teacher and was personally selected as a son-in-law by his mentor.
In his two subsequent marriages, his two in-laws treated him well, which gave him a good reputation. He was also fortunate to meet twelve sworn brothers.
To ordinary people, this was a height they could never reach, wealth and glory they could never obtain in their entire lives. However, only Gu Ren himself knew that there were still some people who secretly criticized him for relying on his wife's family to get to the top, and even accused him of murdering his wife.
Gu Ren didn't explain anything.
Because he knew that explanation was useless, and he had no major connections with that circle, so he chose to turn a blind eye. But when he saw Shen Tang, he still felt a little sour - what he had worked so hard for was just something that others could easily get.
ε=(′ο｀*)))
Gu Ren felt mixed emotions.
Fortunately, his scholarly ways shielded Gu Chi, otherwise, after hearing his inner thoughts, Gu Chi wouldn't know how to laugh.
Shen Tang didn't know that she had a high-profile background inexplicably. She only knew that Gu Renzhen was a social expert and there was almost no dull moment when chatting with him. Before she knew it, they had been chatting for more than half an hour until Shao Chong showed impatience.
“Brother!”
Gu Ren asked with amusement: "What's wrong, Thirteen?"
Shao Chong asked, "Is Big Brother not busy anymore?"
Gu Ren said: "Busy, of course I am busy."
When talking to this brother, you have to be straightforward, not use awkward words or witty remarks. If he doesn't understand, Shao Chong will run out of patience and throw a tantrum. When ordinary children throw tantrums, at most their ears will be noisy, but when he throws tantrums, it can kill people.
Shao Chong said bluntly: "Then go and get busy, hehe."
Gu Ren: “…”
Was he ordered to leave by his brother-in-law
Before he could react, Shao Chong had already grabbed him and stood up, pushing his shoulders with both hands, and pushed him out step by step, saying as he pushed: "Brother, remember to finish your work quickly, and tell Sixth Brother that you have taken today's medicine... Go and get busy!"
Gu Ren was pushed out of the tent.
But he couldn't bear to scold his own brother.
With a mind of only six years old, what can he understand about the ways of the world
There must be a reason why he is acting so abnormally today.
Shao Chong sent his elder brother away, but still worriedly stood at the door of the tent looking out, fearing that he would make a surprise attack.
Gu Zhengyou had this plan. Ren: "..."
As this sworn brother grows up, his elbows will become bent outward.
When Shao Chong was sure that Gu Ren had gone far away, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into Shen Tang, which scared him. Shen Tang asked, "Why don't you go with your brother?"
He obviously had a handsome face that could make a young girl's heart flutter, and his facial features were filled with a bit of exotic evil charm. He looked like the standard male protagonist in a romance novel, but his eyes were as clear as a child's. He put his finger to his lips and said "hush".
He whispered, "Be quiet, don't let Big Brother hear you."
Shen Tang: "He's too far away to hear."
"No, no, no, big brother has many ears, he knows everything..." Shao Chong pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "He knows if I eat one more candy, he knows if I play for a little longer, he knows if I go to bed late, twelfth brother said that big brother put his other ears in a place I don't know... If you speak softly, big brother will hear it!"
Shen Tang: “…”
The words Chao Lian used to scare the children were too bloody.
Shen Tang had no choice but to lower his voice.
"Why are you staying?"
Shao Chong stared at Shen Tang's money bag.
"I want some candy."
He hasn't had any for a long time.
Shao Chong saw that Shen Tang didn't say anything and thought she wanted to complain, so he said, "Shh, you can't tell big brother, otherwise he will be angry again."
Little did he know that as a brave warrior, he could eat so much sweets that he got serious tooth decay. Gu Ren only restricted it instead of prohibiting it, which was very merciful.
Shen Tang: “…”
She rolled her eyes and said, "Candy is expensive, and I don't have many. How about this, one candy for each question?"
Shao Chong looked at her.
He seemed to be thinking whether this deal was a good deal or not.
After a long while, he succumbed to his oral desire and said, "Okay!"
Shen Tang wanted to find out more details about the eldest lady of the Shen family, but Shao Chong was not stupid—he had the mental capacity of a six-year-old, not the IQ of a six-year-old—at least he knew that the more questions Shen Tang asked, the more sugar he would get, so he would answer a little bit each time.
Finally, he returned home with a big bag of sugar.
Shen Tang: “…”
But that bag of candy also exchanged for a lot of details.
Shao Chong seems to have some relationship with the Shen family. Shao Chong's mother's surname is Shen, and she should be a cousin of the real eldest lady of the Shen family.
According to Shen Tang's speculation, Madam Shen followed her companions here to seek refuge, but learned the bad news from the mentally impaired Shao Chong.
His whereabouts are unknown since then.
Taking away less money and property should also be a sign of hardship in life.
Gu Chi knew that Shen Tang was not a member of the Shen family, but Qi Shan was not clear about the details. After Shao Chong left, he looked at Shen Tang.
Shen Tang said: "Alas, this is a long story."
Actually, there is nothing to hide.
She confessed everything about her amnesia and Wu Ling's story of waking up in a coffin. It wasn't that she was careless, but she knew that Qi Shan was identifying her as a person, not the identity she had, so there was no need to hide it.
Qi Shan frowned when he heard this: "In the past, you really don't remember?"
Shen Tang thought for a moment, and counted on his fingers: "Not really, I remember that I can drink a lot, I have superb painting skills, my singing voice is like heavenly music, I am a bit withdrawn and introverted, and I don't like to communicate with others... I can only remember so many things in a short period of time..."
Qishan: “…”
You can drink a lot, but you get drunk after just one drop
The painting skills are superb, so how can we not recognize the ghost paintings
A heavenly voice, referring to a tune with five notes that is completely off the mark
As for his withdrawn and introverted personality and his dislike of communicating with others...
He had never seen anyone who liked to talk nonsense more than Mr. Shen.
If Shen Tang wasn't a good person, Qi Shan would have suspected that Shen Tang was tricking him again - in fact, he was more inclined to the latter - Young Master Shen's memories were too outrageous, and there must be something wrong.
Qishan asked again: "How skilled are you?"
Shen Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know either..."
Qishan: “…”
He suddenly panicked.
Because of his insanity, Shao Chong only had the mental capacity of a six-year-old. Could it be that his own young master Shen only had the mental capacity of a twelve-year-old because he practiced both civil and martial arts? Qi Shan only hated that Chu Yao was not here at this time, otherwise he could share with him the worry that "young master Shen would become a fool".
Shen Tang: “…”
Why does she feel that Yuanliang looks at her strangely...
Gu Chi: “…”
Of course it’s because I’m worried that you’re a fool.
Shen Tang and his group took a short break and prepared to go out to look for people, but as time goes by, the outposts of the camp discovered more than 10,000 people approaching. They thought it was another fierce battle with the rebels, but they didn't know that several other forces arrived one after another.
They were also stationed near the camp and preparing to hold a meeting.
From the refugees, they had heard the bad news that Xiaocheng had been captured. After some hesitation, they decided to gather several troops to recapture Xiaocheng. The rebels in Xiaocheng were the elite troops under the command of King Zhui. If they could capture them, it would be like cutting off King Zhui's left and right arms.
Everyone was ready to do something big. As a guest "staying overnight", Shen Tang had no right to know these things. Even with Captain Yang and two soldiers, there were only six of them in the group, which was not considered a force at all. But she never expected...
A short figure rushed over like the wind.
"My dear!"
The familiar voice made Shen Tang pause.
Then he said, "It's really you, my dear!"
Shen Tang was hugged tightly by the black shadow that pounced on him.
She looked down.
The man was dressed in a boy's clothes and his face looked thinner and haggard, but the face was indeed familiar to her, and she was overjoyed!
"Lin Feng!"
Yes, it was Lin Feng who jumped out from the crowd.
Not only Lin Feng, but also Tu Rong who was jogging to catch up.
Tu Rong is no longer a little fat boy now.
He was much thinner than the last time they met, with less soft flesh on his face, and his facial features seemed to have grown a little, and he had grown a little taller. Shen Tang didn't react for a moment and asked, "Why are you two here?"
I think she ran around but couldn't find anyone...
Lin Feng didn't answer, he just hugged her with tears in his eyes.
I feel like I have a thousand grievances that I want to express.
But in the end, she swallowed it back silently. This short period of experience made her realize that tears are the most useless thing.
Thousands of words condensed into one sentence: "My dear, I miss you so much, I really thought I would never see you again..."
I tried my best not to cry, but tears were already rolling down my cheeks.
Shen Tang patted Lin Feng. Under his palm, his arm was much thinner than before, and he could clearly feel the bones. It was conceivable how much he had suffered during this period. Just as he was confused, a burly figure walked out of the crowd. It was Li Li, who he had gone to look for not long ago but had no news.
"Li Li? You—"
This development is a bit too fast, she needs to sort it out.
Actually, it is not complicated. Not long ago, Lin Feng and Tu Rong were sent back. Li Li also realized that something was wrong and was worried that the deep mountains were unsafe. After thinking about it, he decided to take people to hide somewhere else. He counted the manpower and assets and burned down the village.
He also didn't expect that someone would come looking for him just half a day later.
I can only say that I had bad luck.
As for why he would get involved with those forces
Haha, what bad luck.
They met them not long after they came down the mountain, and their scouts mistook them for a small group of people who were fighting against the Pig King. Li Li wanted to deny it, but he was unsure of their temperament, as he and his men were carrying several carts of treasures and so many fat pigs.
If I deny it, will they turn against me
Will they mistake me and others for robbers and rob us
If they admit that they are a small force that has come to "enforce justice on behalf of heaven", and have the title of "ally", their lives will be safe in the short term. These forces also have to have dignity and cannot openly rob the allies of their wealth.
So, Li Li admitted it vaguely.
The group of people then put away their malicious intent.
In the end, more than a hundred people followed them.
When he was worrying about what to do in the war, he heard Lin Feng's ecstatic shout and rushed straight to the man he hadn't seen for many days.
Li Li: “…”
Ah, now he doesn't have to worry.
Shen Tang: “… (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”
She doesn't want to worry either!
Shen Tang slapped his face, he didn't expect it to be so dramatic.
Even more dramatic is—
It seemed that she might now be mistaken for the leader of a tiny force, and even her tiny family would come to join in the fun.
Shen Tang: “…”
Six people and more than a hundred people...
For the rebels led by Gong Xichou, this was not enough! Before starting the war, they had to hold a mobilization meeting.
