Chapter 153: Blocking the Way
Feng shook his head, he also asked, but none of them had ever seen what those so-called lovers looked like.
"By the way, when I investigated, I found that the eldest lady of the Shen family and Chen Xiling were together."
Feng didn't know whether to tell his master what he saw, he knew that the eldest lady of the Shen family had a holiday with her master, but she was really incomprehensible when she was with Chen Xiling.
Ye Tingchen knew about the opening of the Changshan faction, and he was also shocked at that time, Changshan has been closed for many years, and the sudden opening of the mountain is really suspicious. But he, Chen Xiling, as the head of the Changshan faction, has nothing to do, why do he keep messing around with the crazy woman Shen Mo.
In other words, Chen Xiling is not close to women, why is she following Shen Mo and being with Shen Mo.
Ye Tingchen wondered how capable this silence was, not only daring to disguise himself in the Wu Palace, but also provoking the Changshan faction and entangled with Chen Xiling.
"Master... Master..."
Ye Tingchen was startled by the cry of the wind, but he didn't expect that he was so engrossed that he didn't even hear the wind scream.
"Okay, Feng, you go and help Yue and them investigate together, the poetry meeting is about to be held, I'm afraid that something will happen to those women who participated in the poetry meeting, so you have to prepare security work again to prevent accidents from happening, and there can't be any problems."
After Ye Tingchen finished speaking, he waved his hand at the wind and motioned for him to go down.
After the wind left, Ye Tingchen had a silent appearance in his mind, one moment it was a little doctor with a black mask, and the other time it was the eldest lady of the Shen family who protected the lotus flower and forced him to marry, thinking about it carefully, this woman is actually not so annoying.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile, and even Ye Tingchen himself didn't notice it.
After searching all the way and finding the old ghost, Shen Mo and Chen Xiling decided to go back to the Shen Mansion, so that when the old ghost returned to the Shen Mansion to find them, they could run into each other.
The two walked together, and passers-by cast envious glances.
"Look, it's really a match made in heaven, the girl is beautiful and handsome, it's such a match."
The women who were shopping in the store all looked out the door, and when they saw Chen Xiling, they blushed and stomped their feet shyly.
"I didn't expect you to be quite popular, so many girls like you."
Shen Mo quipped, and Chen Xiling blushed for a while.
"Oops~ My legs... I can't move..."
A young lady from an unknown family suddenly rolled to the feet of Shen Mo and Chen Xiling, holding her legs and unable to move.
"Miss, what are you doing here?"
Shen Mo knew that these girls couldn't control it when they looked at Chen Xiling, but they couldn't joke with their lives.
"Childe, can you help me up?"
The woman on the ground had peach blossoms in her eyes, staring at Chen Xiling's face and never moving away for a moment.
"Could it be that you are the reincarnation of Gyro? Is it fun to roll around the streets? ”
Chen Xiling's sudden poisonous tongue stunned everyone else, such a good-looking boy actually described a girl as a spinning top.
Shen Mo sneered, this guy really has low emotional intelligence, and the girl's behavior is just to attract his attention, he is good, and the people who said it are eager to get into the cracks in the ground.
"Miss, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground."
Shen Mo stretched out his hand to pull the woman on the ground up, and the woman covered her face and ran away crying, but it was also said that no one could stand this kind of blow.
"It's just a stupid woman, why help her."
Chen Xiling pouted at this time, sullen, complaining that he was silent and didn't help him get those women away and help her excuse her.
Is it nice to stump those women who like themselves? Aren't you jealous at all?
Chen Xiling's heart was like a kitten's paw scratching, and his heart was fluttering.
Smiled silently and didn't speak, for a person like her who has lived two lives, the love of children is too superficial.
"Eh, don't you see the old ghost in front of you!"
Shen Mo found that the back image of a ghost who was hurrying towards the Shen Mansion in front was very old.
"Well, let's go over and have a look."
Chen Xiling and Shen Mo walked a few steps quickly, intending to catch up with the old ghost, this old man came and went without a trace, and finally caught him, but he couldn't let him run away anymore.
"Where did you run again, the two of us have been looking for you for a long time!"
Chen Xiling looked indifferent again, directly blocking the front of the old ghost.
"Oh, don't make a noise, I'm going to Shen Mansion to find you now, you come with me quickly."
The old ghost looked around vigilantly, and walked quickly towards the Shen Mansion with Shen Mo and Chen Xiling.
Although Shen Mo didn't know what was going on, he could guess that the old ghost must have found some important clues.
Finally arrived at the Golden Jade Pavilion, and the three of them were able to sit down and rest for a while.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Shen Mo asked, I don't know what the old ghost found when he went out alone.
"My good apprentice, you said that you heard several cries for help in the western suburbs, so I went over to investigate."
The old ghost took a sip and breathed again, and then said.
"There is really something wrong with the carriage, there is a dense forest behind the western suburbs, and the carriage has been left there, and there are still blood stains in it."
After the old ghost finished speaking, Shen Mo and Chen Xiling couldn't help but widen their eyes.
A sense of guilt came to his heart, and he felt that it was his carelessness that hurt the woman, and he stopped the carriage, why didn't he take a closer look at the woman, how much the woman should have expected that she could be saved.
"Alright, good boy, I'm going to give you an important clue now."
The old ghost could see that Shen Mo blamed herself for this incident, but she didn't want her to be too sad, after all, there were two men present in the carriage at the time, and it was probably difficult for her to rescue the victim woman on her own.
"What is it?"
Shen Mo secretly decided that he must seek justice for the murdered woman.
"It's also thanks to the rain a few days ago, and the dense forest is damp, so people will leave footprints when they pass by. I followed the footprints and found that they were going to the border through the dense forest. ”
Border... What did those men do when they sent women to the border.
Shen Mo couldn't think of it, so he could only hold his little head and frown.
Chen Xiling was amused by the cute appearance of silence, originally thought that she was not afraid of heaven and earth, who would have thought that she would also have troubles.
The old ghost looked at his precious apprentice with love in his eyes, and he was instantly satisfied, it seemed that it was right for him to set off alone, and he really wanted to give them the opportunity to be alone with the young people.
"What about the two of you? How have these two days been? ”
The old ghost looked at the two of them interestingly, maybe the two of them already had feelings for each other.
Chen Xiling coughed twice in embarrassment, looking at the old ghost with bad intentions..., he must be playing some kind of ghost idea again.
"If you don't remind me, I almost forgot, we went to the old woman who sells pineapple cakes in the market today, and she heard the cry for help the first time I heard it, so I went out of my way to check with her. The old grandmother also had spiritual powers when she was young, and her ears were also sensitive to sound. So she told us that every once in a while, we could hear shouts for help in the western suburbs. ”
The old ghost thought to himself, if what the old grandmother in the silent mouth said was true, then this matter would be difficult to do.
If the two clues are connected, that is, many women in the western suburbs have been brought to the border recently.
In this way, if you want to know the truth, you must go to the border to investigate it.
"Baby apprentices, now this matter has become confusing, if you want to investigate further, I'm afraid we have to go to the border."
The old ghost said earnestly, this trip must be dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be threatened by your life.
"I'm not afraid, I'm going to get to the bottom of this."
Shen Mo has a hundred times more spiritual power than ordinary people, so he naturally has to shoulder more responsibilities than ordinary people.
The old ghost looked at Shen Mo with satisfaction, since it was best for her to think like this.
It was already noon, and if I arrived at the border, it would probably be evening, so Shen Mo decided to go early tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon, I had nothing to do, and I was silently planning to go to the western suburbs again, and I always felt that I had missed some important clues.
Seeing that the ground in the western suburbs was still evenly covered with flour, he smiled silently and bitterly, and no one came to stump the trap he had worked so hard to make.
I thought that if someone passed by or lingered, they would leave traces on the white flour, so that I could find their direction.
Under the western suburbs, the silent little body seemed so lonely.
Ye Tingchen looked at the silence in the distance, the corners of his mouth curved an arc, and this woman really came.
"I don't know what Dr. Shen is doing in this western suburbs?"
Ye Tingchen quipped, remembering the appearance of this woman in front of him for the first time, it was really angry and funny.
Shen turned back in shock, he was so careless, and he didn't even notice it when Tingchen walked behind him overnight.
"King Wu?"
Shen Mo didn't know why Ye Tingchen appeared in the desolate western suburbs, and why he came to find him.
"This king, listen to your tone, this king seems to have come to a place where he shouldn't be."
Ye Tingchen didn't get a silent and enthusiastic response, he seemed a little unhappy, and his tone became cold.
"No... The whole world is not the king's land, where is there a place where the prince can't go. ”
Shen Mo looked into the distance and sighed.
Ye Tingchen didn't know why, he just made a joke with her, how to listen to her words, but there was a sad meaning in it.
"Shouldn't the prince be busy with government affairs, why do you have the leisure to run out to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the western suburbs today?"
Ye Tingchen had a dark face, just now he felt that she had experienced something sad, and now the next second he began to mock him for not doing his job properly, and the western suburbs are extremely desolate and beautiful, and the woman is silent This woman has something to say.
"This king naturally does not have the same leisure and leisure as the common people, and he can run around every day with nothing to do, and his words and deeds are all for the people of the country."
How could he not hear that the so-called ordinary people who had nothing to do and ran around in Ye Tingchen's words were talking about themselves.
Then he smiled at Ye Tingchen, and silently showed a sly look.
"Lord Wang, can the common people be rewarded for their helpfulness in eliminating harm for the people?"
If Shen Mo's case is resolved this time, it will definitely be a major event that has rescued many women, not to mention eliminating harm for the people, it can also be called benefiting the people.
"Naturally, the rise and fall of the world is responsible, if every person can shoulder a sense of responsibility, my Shuxia country will definitely be strong."
Ye Tingchen didn't understand why Shen Mo asked this question, looking at her satisfied smile, didn't she fall into the trap dug by this woman again?
Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, Shen Mo wanted to return to the Shen Mansion as soon as possible, hoping that going to the border tomorrow would be smoother, Xiaohuan had been in Changshan alone for several days, and he had to hurry up and finish the matter and pick her up.
"Then the prince, you can continue to enjoy the scenery, and the little woman will retire first."
Shen Mo didn't wait for Ye Tingchen to agree, and turned around and left directly.
Ye Tingchen shook his head helplessly, this woman was so arrogant, and he didn't even want to punish her.
This time when he came to the western suburbs, Ye Tingchen couldn't say whether he was looking at Shen Mo with the excuse of investigating the woman's disappearance.
Seeing Shen Mo leave like this, Ye Tingchen didn't want to stay here any longer.
In the Shen Mansion, Lan'er was ordered by Shen Yan to stay near the Golden Jade Pavilion, supervising the movements of Shen Mo and Chen Xiling.
"Mother, you said that the man who brought back home silently..."
Although Shen Yan likes Chen Xiling very much, not only is he handsome but also the head of the Changshan faction, just because he was brought back by Shen Mo, it is impossible for him to have a scene with him.
"Yan'er, why are you so short-sighted, no matter how powerful the Changshan faction is, can it compare to King Wu, I advise you to put away your careful thoughts."
Yuan's gave Shen Yan a blank look, her daughter is timid and afraid of things, not to mention that she is so shallow-sighted, if she doesn't have her mother, how can she fight the silent scheming girl.
Although Shen Mo is the eldest daughter of the Shen Mansion, it is in vain that she does not have the support of her mother's family. Besides, King Wu only verbally promised to marry her, and he was not willing to marry her in his heart, if you can grasp the opportunity, the person who married into the palace is you. ”
Yuan Shi stared at Shen Yan, her only hope now was pinned on her daughter.
"But... I'm afraid that King Wu won't like me..."
Although Shen Yan really wants to marry into King Wu's mansion and live a life of eating and drinking spicy food, but King Wu's vision is so high, even if he wants to, he may not be able to succeed.
"Silly boy, it takes means to catch a man, then Shen Mo knows that he threatened King Wu with the white lotus and forced him to make a marriage in person, why can't you also use means to let King Wu marry you into the door."
Yuan Shi pointed his finger at Shen Yan, blaming her for not having a bright head.
"What do you mean..."
Shen Yan has been following Yuan's arrangement all these years, letting her go east and east, and letting her think west when she goes west, so she will only follow instructions to do things.
"If you want to get close to King Wu, you naturally have to get the capital that can be close to King Wu, and in three days there will be a poetry meeting, and you also know that King Wu is the most talented person, so as long as you are brilliant at the poetry meeting, the prince will naturally pay attention to you."
As soon as Shen Yan wanted to say something, the Yuan clan was already a little impatient, and directly made a gesture for Shen Yan to go out.
Although reluctantly, he obediently walked out of his mother's room.
Although Shen Yan's talent is not low, it may be very difficult for her to shine at the poetry meeting.
There is no shortage of talented women in the entire Shuxia country, and she Shen Yan is afraid that it will be even more difficult to shine among so many people.
But looking at his mother's face that could not be refused, Shen Yan chose to compromise.
"Miss, miss, big lady, they just came back."
Lan'er saw that Shen Yan finally came out of the Yuan family's room, so she dared to step forward to report.
"Is the man still following?"
Shen Yan thought about how the man met Shen Mo, and how they were often together now.
"Still following, the two talked and laughed very intimately. I look at the relationship is better than the scholar who sent the eldest lady home last time! ”
Lan'er said with a sense of envy, she may not be able to have such a British man in her life.
"So what kind of relationship do you find out what kind of relationship they have, and what are they planning together?"
Shen Yan was jealous of how there was no excellent man around him, and Shen Mo's woman was far inferior to him in terms of background and appearance, but there were a group of men around her.
"Miss Hui, the two of them have always been cautious, and the slaves and maids don't dare to get too close for fear of revealing their whereabouts, so..."
Lan'er said that in the end, her voice became smaller and quieter, and she didn't dare to say any more, for fear that the young lady would be angry and blame her.
"Well, if there's anything unusual, you must report it to me in time."
Shen Yan said that he didn't pursue it any further, and walked directly towards his Fiber Embroidery Pavilion.
Early the next morning, Shen Mo was called by the old ghost to get up and pack his things.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked out the window in confusion, it was still dark.
However, when he thought that he was going to the border today, he didn't dare to slack off, so a carp sat up.
When Shen Mo finished cleaning up and went out, he found that the old ghost head and Chen Xiling had already been waiting in the Golden Jade Pavilion.
Because he was in a hurry, he wore the simplest clothes directly, with a light pink lining and a pure white liner, tied with a simple belt around his waist, and a pair of clean and light shoes on his feet.
The old ghost looked at Shen Mo and marveled.
"My baby apprentice will definitely be sleepy so early, let's go early and come back early, and go back to sleep when we come back."
smiled silently, and tied up a piece of hair high, looking refreshing and neat.
Chen Xiling's eyes have been on her since she went out silently, whether it was gorgeous and exquisite in the garment shop before or simple and refreshing now, every one of her is so deep in people's minds at a glance.
The old ghost looked at his eldest apprentice Chen Xiling playfully, and sure enough, the hero was sad about the beauty, and the women who said that they were not close to each other also turned into air and dissipated after knowing Shen Mo.
Set off together, and the three of them walked side by side. By the time we arrived at the border, it was close to noon.
"Let's rest here, the border is ahead, don't worry."
The old ghost pointed to the teahouse in front of him, this teahouse is for merchants to rest, so the business inside is also very hot.
nodded silently and followed the old ghost and Chen Xiling in.
"The three bosses, please, the seats in our lobby are full, and there is a private room upstairs."
Chen Xiling waved his hand and went directly upstairs to the private room.
Silently pouted, it turns out that the head of this mountain is also so rich, but thinking about it, the palace of their Changshan faction is splendid, and their strength should not be underestimated.
"Your private room is here."
Xiao Er led the three of them to the private room, served a pot of tea, and then retreated.
"My baby apprentice, you must be tired after walking such a long way, anyway, it's still early, you have rested enough, let's set off again."
The old ghost looked worried, afraid that his silent body would be exhausted from this long journey.
Shen Mo shook her head, she knew that now was not the time to be greedy for pleasure, if she delayed those persecuted women for one more second, it might be more dangerous, so the most important thing now was to rest, and then immediately go out to investigate.
Chen Xiling decided that his status was getting lower and lower now, and he spent money but couldn't get a word of care.
The old ghost is really "liking the new and hating the old", and with his favorite new apprentice, he doesn't care about his old apprentice at all.
Shen Mo watched Chen Xiling drink tea without speaking, his mouth was deflated, and he was jealous when he thought that the old ghost was too concerned about himself.
"Chen Xiling is definitely more tired."
Shen Mo looked at Chen Xiling, knowing that he left the Shen Mansion alone last night when they were all asleep, and came back alone in the early morning, and when he went out and saw the sand on Chen Xiling's shoes on the border of the Northern Desert Country, he knew that he had come to explore the road in advance.
Chen Xiling, who was drinking tea, was stunned when he heard his name, and the tea almost spilled out.
From the time he touched the silence until now, it was the first time she had called his name.
Shen Mo looked at Chen Xiling looking at him strangely, and winked at him playfully.
Receiving such an action as silence, Chen Xiling had to quickly pick up the teacup again to cover his already flushed face.
"Shh
Shen Mo made a gesture not to speak to the old ghost and Chen Xiling.
It was a woman's crying, exactly the same as the crying I heard in the western suburbs the day before, it seemed to be the same woman.
"It's a cry, it's close."
Silently and attentively, he listened again, and made sure that this woman was in this teahouse at this time.
"What to do, I can be sure that this woman is the same person as the last time I heard crying, and that she is in this teahouse."
