Shen Tang calmed his mind and looked directly at the young man with a calm expression.
Ask him: "Sir, do you have a grudge against the Gong family?"
Unexpectedly, the young man's answer was beyond her expectations.
The young man put his hands in his sleeves, half leaning against the tree trunk, lowering his eyelids and saying in a calm voice, "No grudge."
Chen Tang: “…”
Why are you joining in the fun if there is no grudge
Do you want to kill the male heir of the Gong family when you meet him
Perhaps it was because Chen Tang's look was too hard to describe, and the young man felt displeased being looked at.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Of course, it’s the look you give when you look at the medical records of patients in a mental hospital!
Chen Tang complained in his heart, but said: "Since there is no hatred, where does such malice come from, sir?"
The young man sneered: "You are a descendant of the Gong family, how could you not know?"
Chen Tang: “…”
I told you not to give her a weird personality.
She took a long breath and slowly exhaled the foul air in her chest, forcing out a "kind and amiable" smile.
"Sir, I am deeply grateful for saving my life, but there are a few things I would like you to know."
"you say."
"First, I am not a descendant of the Gong family." After saying that, Chen Tang saw a strange look flash across the young man's eyes. She didn't care whether the young man believed it or not, and continued, "Second, I really don't know what your ill intentions are. Third, I am not the male heir of the Gong family..."
Clearly a genuine woman.
Although she is still young, her body has not started to develop, and she has no obvious secondary sexual characteristics, you can't mistake her gender just by looking at her face!
The young man carefully studied Shen Tang's face and looked into her eyes, seeming to carefully weigh the truth of his words.
After a long while, he nodded and said, "I believe what you said, young master."
Chen Tang: “…”
You believe it!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
I told you he’s not a man, why is he so stubborn!
You have to wait for her to take off her pants and take something out before you believe it, right
The young man jokingly said, "Although his skills are not bad, he abuses his literary mind like this and fights randomly. He really doesn't look like someone who has received a proper education."
No serious scholar would go head-on with a warrior.
Taking into account that the prisoners exiled this time were not only descendants of the Gong family, he guessed that this young man might be one of the outsiders, and was relegated to the female category because of his male appearance. This is why the Dan Mansion was spared and was not abolished.
Chen Tang: “…”
I didn't know where to start complaining for a moment, I only had time to grasp one key point.
"You mean... Wen Xin? I have Wen Xin?"
This body has a literary mind
Get ready!
She finally got a glimpse of the treatment a time traveler should receive.
"You don't know?"
Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, it was now the young man's turn to be surprised.
Shen Tang shook his head sincerely.
It has not been twenty-four hours since she traveled to this world.
Not only does she not have the original owner's memories, but her home was also robbed. How could she know all this
The young man asked, "Since you don't know that you have a literary mind, what about the words just now?"
"Word Spirit... what is it?"
"It's the part about 'the sword in the loving mother's hand pierces the body of the wandering son'. Your literary mind and words are so vivid."
As the young man spoke, he frowned and looked very strange.
The saying of a loving mother who killed her son with a sword doesn't sound like a serious saying, but there are many strange things in the world, and perhaps he has too little experience.
Chen Tang said truthfully: “… I was thinking about a way to save my life, and it suddenly appeared in my mind.”
Young man: “…”
This is outrageous!
Chen Tang changed the subject again.
"Sir, you haven't told me why you dislike Gong so much."
If the problem is not solved, it is like eating a melon without getting the follow-up. It is a very unpleasant feeling.
The young man glanced at Chen Tang and said expressionlessly: “Although there is no personal hatred, there is hatred for the loss of the country.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Tang immediately stopped wanting to watch the show.
This is no joke. If you accidentally anger her, she might fight you to death. However, she doesn't know that there are hundreds of countries in the world, and they are constantly fighting each other. Destroying and establishing countries are common practices. If a generation lives long enough, each person can change more than two nationalities.
The young man has feelings for his homeland, but not to that deep an extent.
"So, what about the Word Spirit?"
Chen Tang was not shy and simply treated the young man as a free "explanatory NPC".
Why run around asking around on your own when you can get the answer from him
It's free stuff, who doesn't like it
Young man: “…”
He confirmed again and again that Shen Tang really knew nothing, and the questions he asked were very basic, so it would be okay to answer one or two.
However, the questions were so basic that it made people suspect that she was a wild person who emerged from some remote corner of the mountains, so the young man had to start the story from the source.
His story was much more complete than the strange memories that emerged in Shen Tang's mind.
The fallen star was shattered into pieces and scattered across the Central Plains. People were busy studying literature and martial arts to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and refine themselves. No one paid attention to it except for merchants who hoped to make a profit from the "rare goods". Until a craftsman carved one of the broken stones of the star into a seal and presented it to the king.
As soon as the king got the seal, purple light burst out, and countless strange characters floated out of the seal, some of which merged with the official's palace. Only then did he know that some of the characters in the seal combined with certain literary and martial courage could exert incredible power.
These characters are the "spirits of words".
For example, the young man’s earlier words, “Teeth are hard and are lost first, tongue is soft and is preserved last, softness can overcome hardness and weakness can overcome strength”, are to bless and restore one of the two opposing parties. The same words have different effects in the hands of different people.
Since then, fragments of the shooting star have become standard on national seals of various countries.
The words contained in the national seal directly affect the country's strength. If the monarch activates the national seal, it can be transformed into a national treasure to guard the country's borders.
Having said this, the young man paused, secretly glanced at Chen Tang's expression with his peripheral vision, and said in a calm voice: "The capital of Chongtai was destroyed and the national seal was lost. There are rumors that the Gong family hid it and embezzled it. However, after the Gong family's property was confiscated, the whereabouts of the national seal were still not found..."
Chen Tang didn't care about the national seal, but -
"Heavy stage?"
After she finished speaking, the young man's expression was quite interesting and complicated.
"… It was the original Xin Kingdom. There are rumors that it will be changed to 'Chongtai'."
He thought Chen Tang asked this because she was isolated from the news during her exile and didn't know that the current Chongtai was the Xin Kingdom, but he didn't know that she simply thought the name was a bit strange.
"Destroy the country and still change its name..."
What is this operation
The young man said, "For humiliation."
"humiliation?"
"Anyone who is a servant to another servant is called Chongtai. For the survivors of Xin State, this is naturally a great shame and humiliation."
What does "anyone who serves a maidservant" mean
In layman's terms, it means a slave's servant, the lowest of the lowest class.
As one of the criminals who caused the country's demise, how could Gong not be hated
As long as the national seal does not appear, this turmoil will not stop.
These are just for fun and have nothing to do with Chen Tang. She is more concerned about what her literary mind is like.
The young man suggested: "Why not give it a test?"
There are nine levels of literary mind. Only by knowing the specific level of literary mind can one find the words and spirits that suit him or her.
Chen Tang: "How to measure?"
