News from Kasyapa City came one after another, because Sheng Yue was constantly sending corpses there.
This is in line with Gu Ling and Su Liang's understanding of Sheng Yue: he is a rational egoist. He decided to do things according to Gu Ling's wishes, because under the current situation, this is beneficial to his own safety and future.
, the matter is done, we must let Su Liang and Gu Ling know, leaving nothing to be questioned.
Receiving the same news from Kasyapa City this day, Su Liang chuckled, "I suspect that Shengyue guy may have kept an account book, in which he wrote who was killed on a certain day in a certain month, how many women and children were settled, and how many women and children were settled.
How much will it cost and whether he was injured? Let us see when the time comes."
Gu Ling nodded, expressing the same sentiment, "There is nothing wrong with that." Being self-interested is not wrong, the important thing is not to "harm others."
Two days after Feng Ming returned home, he was invited to visit Peng Mansion. He also wanted to see the children he knew on the island.
Feng Ming asked Zhu Zan to accompany him, but Zhu Zan refused, "No merit, no reward. It's you who are invited, so go ahead. The master said that we are not slaves and can make friends whenever we want."
It’s okay to leave. I plan to consider whether to leave after I get married, so don’t think about it so much.”
Feng Ming shook his head and smiled, "I didn't think much about it, I just haven't experienced anything like this."
"You are so smart, what are you afraid of? Go quickly." Zhu Zan patted Feng Ming on the shoulder.
In the end, Feng Ming didn't go by himself, because when he was about to leave, he happened to see Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu coming out to play after finishing their homework.
Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu were already very familiar with the Peng family. After saying hello to Su Liang, they went out with Feng Ming.
"Uncle Feng, what kind of girl do you like?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Feng Ming with a smile while riding on his pony.
Feng Ming coughed lightly, "Why does Xiaoshu ask this? I haven't thought about it yet."
"You can think about it now." Ji Xiaoshu said, "Elder brother and I are relatively familiar with the capital and can help you look for it."
Feng Ming couldn't help but laugh. He thought this was weird and cute. Two little guys actually wanted to help him find a girl?
"We are serious. What do you think, Senior Brother?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Zheng'er.
Zheng'er nodded, "If there is a suitable person who needs matchmaking, we can indeed help."
To be honest, they were not children from ordinary families. Now everyone knows that they are the apprentices of Gu Ling and Su Liang, and they are kept by their side. The two of them are quite popular in the capital. Even Emperor Duanmu Chen dotes on them.
, you can enter the palace to play at any time. Therefore, the social circle of Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu is really wider than that of Gu Ling and Su Liang. Because Gu Ling and Su Liang don't like to socialize.
Feng Ming smiled, "That's it. Thank you in advance. I will consider this matter carefully."
While talking, I arrived outside the gate of Peng Mansion and was quickly welcomed in.
Ashin and Ale, who were sitting obediently in the front hall, rushed out immediately when they saw Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu arriving.
Peng Wei walked out cheerfully, and after greeting Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu, he looked at Feng Ming and nodded secretly. Because Su Liang had previously praised Feng Ming for being brave, resourceful, smart, and extremely safe in doing things.
Peng Wu mentioned that Feng Ming had helped their mother and son before, so Peng Wei insisted on meeting Feng Ming and thank him properly.
"General Peng." Feng Ming held his hand.
Peng Wei waved his hand, "I am no longer a general. Master Feng, please come quickly."
"Mr. Peng, you don't have to be polite, just call me by my name." Feng Ming looked neither humble nor overbearing. He followed Peng Wei into the door and saw Peng Wu. She was a completely different person compared to when she was on Xingluo Island.
In Feng Ming's impression, Peng Wu always had a thin face, a lonely expression, and a touch of sadness between his eyebrows, but he never lost the perseverance in his bones. Because compared with other women who were kidnapped back on Xingluo Island,
, Peng Wu is really much stronger. There are many girls who have long since died and have not been able to leave Xingluo Island alive.
But when we met again, Peng Wu was dressed in elegant clothes, his face was rosy and shiny, his eyebrows were stretched, he was full of heroic spirit, with a smile on his lips, he called out calmly and generously, "Young Master Feng."
"Just call me by my name." Feng Ming smiled and nodded, thinking in his mind that she was indeed a lady from a royal family. This is her original demeanor. Before, she was tortured and oppressed by the people on Xingluo Island, and at the same time she suffered for her children.
The hardships have finally come to an end.
After sitting down, Feng Ming looked outside the door and saw that the children had run away.
"Zheng'er and Xiaoshu come here often, they must be playing in the garden." Peng Wu said.
After entertaining Feng Ming for a cup of tea, Peng Wei asked him if he still had any family members alive.
"There should be a few distant relatives." Feng Ming said, "I heard my parents mention it when I was young, but I haven't seen them. After my parents passed away, I lost contact." He survived by relying on his own ability, learned martial arts from his master, and grew up.
, had he not been targeted by an elder on Xingluo Island and taken back as a slave, according to his original plan, he would have joined the army. At that time, the situation in the Three Kingdoms was tense, and he was young, strong in martial arts, and quite resourceful.
He must have accomplished something. And if that were the case, his life would be completely different now.
After listening to Feng Ming's few words about his own experience, Peng Wei couldn't help but sigh, "You are a talent, but it's a pity that fate plays tricks on you."
Feng Ming smiled, "That's good now. It's my luck to be able to serve my master."
"It's your brain." Peng Wei said with a smile.
Peng Fan was about to invite Feng Ming to sit with him when he heard from a servant that his wife was not feeling well, so he hurried over.
Peng Wei was also a little worried and said he would go over and ask about the situation to see if it was necessary to invite an imperial doctor or to ask Su Liang to come and let Peng Wu entertain Feng Ming.
Seeing that Peng Wu was a little uneasy, Feng Ming took the initiative and said, "If you are busy, just arrange for someone to take me to the garden to find the children."
Peng Wu shook his head, "It's okay. My brother has already passed away. I don't know medical skills, so I can't help." He changed the subject and said, "I heard that you escorted Uncle Liu and Auntie home. Are they all okay?"
Feng Ming nodded and detailed his experience of sending the cook and the mute slave home and helping them find their son.
After hearing this, Peng Wu could not help but feel some empathy. Although the situation was not exactly the same, the separation of flesh and blood was similar. Her parents and relatives also suffered a lot in those years.
"No matter what, I still want to thank you, not just because you followed the prince to save us this time." Peng Wu looked at Feng Ming with a serious and solemn expression, "Before that, I thought you were one of the very few men on the island.
of good people.”
Feng Ming sighed softly, "The past is in the past. I believe that Miss Peng will get better and better in the future. The children will also grow up healthy and happy. In this way, all the things I have done will be worth it."
"I will live a good life." Peng Wu nodded, "I hope you will too."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, got up, left the front hall, and went to the garden.
On the way, he met Peng Wei and saw that he was cheerful. Peng Wu knew that Peng Fan's wife was probably fine.
"It's a false alarm. But I still have to ask Lao Gao to come over and take a pulse." Peng Wei said, "Wu'er, please treat Xiao Feng well and let him stay for dinner. Xiao Feng, don't be cautious, you are not an outsider."
Feng Ming quickly said, "Okay."
After watching Peng Wei leave, the two of them arrived at the garden and saw four children standing in a row, all with the same face...
Peng Wu was confused. Of course she could tell her two sons apart normally, but now she was a little confused, and it was obvious that Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu had also disguised themselves as A Xin and A Le. The clothes were of course different, but maybe they were specially
Have you changed it?
The four children were preparing to go find Peng Wu and Feng Ming. When they saw them coming, they did not speak for fear of revealing their secrets. One of them wrote on the ground with his foot, "Guess who we are?"
Feng Ming pointed at the child who came out to write, and said with a smile, "I guess you are Xiaoshu. This must be your idea."
The child shook his head silently and wrote another line with his foot, "Xiaoshu knows you will think so. I am not him."
Feng Ming looked at Peng Wu. She knew that the slight difference in the original appearance of the two sons must have been modified by Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu. However, as a mother, she was confident that she could recognize her two children, "I am responsible for
Identify A Xin and A Le, and when Feng Ming comes, you can tell which one is Zheng'er and which one is Xiao Shu."
Feng Ming said it was reasonable, and the two had a clear division of labor. Soon, Peng Wu began to observe the four children carefully, and soon pulled A Le out because he had a subconscious little move that he didn't even know about.
Then came Ashin, who was also successfully found by Peng Wu. One of them was wearing Zheng'er's clothes, and the other was still wearing his own clothes.
Peng Wu looked at Feng Ming, "It's your turn."
The remaining Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu stood quietly with exactly the same expressions on their faces. They were very skilled at this game.
Feng Ming looked at it for a while and chose to give up, "I really can't recognize it." In fact, he had only lived in Su Mansion for a few days. He left soon after recognizing Su Liang as his master the previous time, so he was facing Zheng'er.
I don’t know Ji Xiaoshu very well.
Finally, it was Peng Wu who identified the two of them based on the subtle changes in their eyes.
"Aunt Peng is so awesome!" Ji Xiaoshu gave a thumbs up, "We play this game at home, and my master often admits his mistakes!"
Peng Wu and Feng Ming took the children to eat fruit together. As they walked, Ji Xiaoshu asked, "What kind of man does Aunt Peng like?"
Peng Wu was stunned, "Why do you ask this?"
Feng Ming smiled and said nothing. Ji Xiaoshu indeed said that he could help Peng Wu find someone.
Peng Wu smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaoshu, but no need. I'm very satisfied now and won't get married."
"Of course that's okay." Ji Xiaoshu said, "I'm just asking. Aunt Peng is still young, so there's nothing wrong with pursuing happiness! Look at my master and mistress, how sweet they are!"
Peng Wu nodded, "They are a couple of gods and immortals, no one can envy them."
"Everyone will find their most suitable spouse, and I will definitely have one in the future!" Ji Xiaoshu said one thing after another.
Ah Le admired his face again, "Brother Xiaoshu, you know a lot!"
This topic is over.
Peng Wu thought Ji Xiaoshu was innocent and cute, but his words still made her feel a little confused. Before the accident, she had actually been engaged and was a prince. The two had met several times, but the man did not leave a deep impression on her.
, now that I think about it, even his face is blurred, and I can only remember a name. The Situ royal family has been destroyed long ago, and that man married another young lady not long after Peng Wu's accident. Then there was a cold wind and he left without surviving it.
Already.
Years passed by, and Peng Wu looked back at this moment. She didn't want to look back at the seven years on Xingluo Island. For her, except for her children, everything else was like a blank. If she didn't have children, Peng Wu would really hope that time could go away.
Going back in time, she could have a smooth life, but now, this assumption is no longer valid.
Peng Wei invited Dr. Gao back. They often interacted with each other and were already familiar with each other.
Dr. Gao checked Mrs. Peng's pulse and said nothing was wrong, so that they could rest assured.
After lunch, Dr. Gao invited the children to his home to see the koi, which Gao Jiabao asked someone to find from other places.
Feng Ming and Peng Wu took their five children to Gaofu together. Mrs. Peng was taking care of Xiaoyue so that Peng Wu could entertain guests.
By the time we left Gao's house, the sun was almost setting.
Feng Ming first sent Peng Wu and his son to the gate of Peng Mansion, watched them go in, and then took Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu home.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other direction.
"They must be coming from the south to deliver the message again," Zheng'er said. Recently, soldiers coming to report the message almost every day.
But this time it was really different. When the man got close, he dismounted, and there was a sack on the horse. Judging from the shape, it seemed to contain a person.
It was indeed a soldier from Kasyapa City. He had seen Feng Ming following Qiu Jing before, so he explained the situation to him, "The others are all corpses. This one is alive. He is unconscious. His hands and feet were tied up and thrown at the back door of Lin Mansion."
Besides, there is a piece of paper on him, which says that he should be sent to the capital and handed over to the prince and princess."
Feng Ming's expression was slightly condensed, and he had a guess in his mind. He asked Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu to take the soldier who reported the news to Su Liang and Gu Ling first, and he arranged the horses and sacks on the horses.
Ji Xiaoshu wanted to take a look first, but Feng Ming stopped him and didn't insist.
Feng Ming led the horses in, closed the door, unloaded the sack, opened the tightly tied mouth, and saw a face that was not unfamiliar. He knew that this was the biological father of A Xin and A Le, who had once relied on
His grandfather is the core elder on the island and has done many evil things.
Feng Ming dragged the sack, went straight to the dungeon, and threw the person in.
On the other side, Su Liang was a little surprised when he saw the soldier who reported the news and learned that a living person had been sent this time. He then thought about who would be left alive by Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue is obviously the kind of person who either doesn't do something or does his best to make things perfect. Since he wants to take credit to show his sincerity, he will kill those who deserve to be killed and those who shouldn't be killed. As for those who should be killed, he can let the master of suffering personally do it later.
Those who were killed were also specially kept.
Sheng Yue had known about Peng Wu's life experience earlier, and she could be said to be the only woman kidnapped on Xingluo Island who could be considered related to Su Liang. Because Su Liang had a good relationship with the Peng family.
Therefore, when Sheng Yue killed the Zhong family, he specially kept the man who tortured Peng Wu for several years and gave him as a gift.
This is of course a good "gift". If Su Liang and Gu Ling went to clean up the remaining evil, they would keep this person and hand it over to the Peng family for disposal.
As soon as Feng Ming entered Yuanming Pavilion, he heard Su Liang ask, "Is your surname Zhong?"
Feng Ming nodded, "It's that person."
"Then why don't you make another trip to tell Grandpa Peng and see what he plans to do with it?" Su Liang said.
Feng Ming rode out of the house and went to Peng's house again.
Soon after, Peng Fan and two guards came back with Feng Ming and took away the man in the dungeon of the Su Mansion.
As for how the Peng family dealt with the man in the end, Su Liang and Gu Ling didn't ask any more questions.
…
Kasyapa City, late at night.
Recently, corpses have appeared one after another at the back door of Lin Mansion. The young general in charge here probably knows what is going on, and has not arranged anyone to guard it. If there are new corpses, he will send people to Beijing to report them. If there is a living one, he will be sent directly to the capital.
A dark figure entered the alley, carrying a sack on its back.
He walked to the back door of Lin Mansion, threw the sack on the ground, pulled out the body inside, put it in its original position, and sat on the threshold.
The moon passed through the dark clouds. Sheng Yue looked up, then took out a book and a charcoal pen, turned to a new page, wrote a few lines in the moonlight, and stuffed the things back into his arms.
"There are only two left." Sheng Yue muttered to himself inaudibly, "How do I live like this... just like a psychopath who eliminates violence and makes peace with others."
After a while, Sheng Yue stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and returned along the original road, "There are only two left, kill them quickly and go to the capital. If the magic weapon can't even control Su Liang, let's see what happens to the one named Gu."
