Chapter 53: Speculation
In the front yard of Wu Mansion, a man as strong as an iron tower, carrying a giant blade like a door panel, stood there quietly. This man was undoubtedly Ming Hou.
Not far away, Wu Ming, who had just finished his breakfast, walked towards them with his arm around Yue Ji's waist, his movements neither fast nor slow. This was a method Wu Ming had come up with on his own, and he felt it could help him cultivate his mind.
No one knows whether it will work or not. But judging from his expression, he should be in a good mood at the moment.
In fact, it is true. I gained a lot yesterday. This morning, when I was practicing, I advanced the Purple Demon Pupil to the higher level of Mustard Seed Realm.
Each and every one of them can be considered a happy event.
So when he saw Lord Ming, he walked over slowly.
"Twelve years ago, the Xie family of Wangyi Tower was wiped out. Only the eldest son of the tower owner survived in a coma. After waking up, he forgot everything that happened before. Later, he became a disciple of Elder Tianquan and became a killer. His bandit name was Minghou."
"The destruction of Wangyilou was led by Xiao Yu, the seventh prince of Beili, who had already destroyed his country. The person who did it was none other than your master, Elder Tianquan. The reason they didn't kill you was because they found that you have an outstanding apex. With a little training, you can become a good sword."
"How do you know all this?" Ming Hou's eyes widened, wanting to further confirm the truth. In fact, at this moment, he had already believed it about 70%. When Yue Ji was persuading him, she told him that there was no need for Wu Ming to deceive them because the gap in strength was too big.
"The entire Tang Dynasty is behind me. If you want to know something, it's simpler than you think. If you don't believe it, there is another way." Wu Ming frowned, but considering that Yue Ji was relatively well-behaved, he was willing to say a little more.
Yue Ji, who was standing by, might have sensed something as well. She consciously found a chair and after Wu Ming sat down, she carefully massaged his shoulders.
Seeing Yue Ji like this, Ming Hou felt even more pain in his heart, but hatred was already an obsession in his heart.
Wu Ming rested his head on Yue Ji's plump breasts, patted her little hands with satisfaction, and then spoke again.
"In Hanshui Temple, there is a Master Wuyou. He knows a forbidden Buddhist technique called Heart Demon Attraction. This secret technique can help others forcibly dig out the blocked memories deep in their souls."
"The revenge for the extermination of your family is already your inner demon. As long as Master Wangyou is willing, he will be able to help you. Then you will naturally remember the truth."
"I'll go find Master Wangyou now." Ming Hou was very excited. After looking at Yue Ji with some nostalgia, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"You won't get an answer if you go now. Master Wangyou can indeed induce inner demons, but in the process of helping others induce inner demons for many years, he himself has also been entangled by inner demons. He won't help you."
"Moreover, after such a Buddhist master has read Buddhist scriptures for a long time, his mentality will change. He will think that helping you remember the past will bring more sins to the world. Since it is a demon in your heart, it should not appear. This is his idea."
"So, looking for Wangyou won't work. But besides Wangyou, there is another person in this world who can also use the Heart Demon Guidance. This person is Master Wuxin, the disciple of Master Wangyou."
"Wuxin is the son of Ye Dingzhi, the leader of the Tianwaitian Demon Sect. He is also the young leader of the Tianwaitian Demon Sect. The twelve-year agreement between the Demon Sect and Baili Dongjun is about to end. Wuxin will definitely return to Tianwaitian."
"When that time comes, you can ask him for help. Young monks always have more advanced ideas and will not refuse you."
"I'm giving you a piece of advice. Even if you know who your enemy is, don't rush to seek revenge. You've already waited twelve years. If you can't be patient and continue to improve yourself and look for opportunities, then revenge is just a luxury."
"Tsukihime is good. For his sake, this is the information I can give you."
"You do have great talent. If you are willing to work for me, I can help you and help you get your revenge within five years."
"I know you like Yue Ji, but love can turn into family affection. You decide the rest yourself!"
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he went into the house to deal with some internal security matters. Yue Ji glanced at Ming Hou and nodded as a farewell.
From now on, the person I once liked is at most a good brother.
She still didn't know Wu Ming very well, but she knew what men were thinking. Men were absolutely selfish when it came to women.
So, she would not do anything to make Wu Ming uncomfortable.
Judging from Wu Ming's attitude towards her, this master was not difficult to get along with. Now that the matter of Lord Ming was over, she would let go of the past.
"It turns out that this old dog is the one behind this." After Wu Ming checked some of the information collected by the Internal Guard during this period, he barely confirmed his guess.
It seemed that the order to pick up Xu Weixiong this time came from the palace, but in fact, Zhangsun Wuji was behind the scenes fanning the flames. As long as Xu Weixiong died in the process of Wu Ming's protection, both the wrath of the court and the attack of the Xu family would fall on Wu Ming at the same time.
However, Changsun Wuji made a wrong calculation. Wu Ming's strength changed almost every day.
Murong Bo is just a stepping stone for him, not even an opponent.
It’s also because the Murong family’s name is too famous and too deceptive!
Another point is that Xu Xiao's level of protection for Xu Weixiong is beyond ordinary people's expectations.
From this, Wu Ming could also make a small guess that Zhuge Zhengwo’s experience might be due to the shadow of this old guy.
As for the person who took revenge on Zhuge Zhengwo, it was most likely An Shigeng's father An Yunshan.
Although there had been news that An Shigeng and An Yunshan did not have a good relationship, no matter how bad it was, they were still father and son.
For this reason alone, An Yunshan's revenge is justified.
It seems that the attempt to pass the buck was quite successful.
An Yunshan targeted the God of Capture and Zhuge Zhengwo, but left Wu Ming aside.
As for Ji Yaohua, Wu Ming had already given her a warning long ago, and even after An Shigeng's death, he directly arranged an idle task for her through Wu Zhao.
No one is in Chang'an. Even if An Yunshan wants to kill someone, he has to find someone. Ruyan is a member of the internal guard. When Wu Ming is not around, she stays in the palace most of the time. This is not the weak Song Dynasty in the original novel. Little An Yunshan doesn't even dare to show his head, let alone go to the palace.
This wave of blame-shifting can be said to be at the atmospheric level.
Seeing a smile on Wu Ming's lips, Yue Ji beside him also smiled. After Wu Ming leaned back in the chair, she spontaneously sat on Wu Ming's lap, holding the pink grapes from the snow mountain in front of her chest, and brought them directly to Wu Ming's mouth.
"Master, there is a girl outside the mansion who wants to see you. She is called Lin Shiyin. She came here once before, but you were not in the mansion at that time."
"Bring it in!" Wu Ming said vaguely while taking a milk bath.
When Lin Shiyin pushed the door open under the guidance of the servants, she saw such a ridiculous scene.
Her face turned red instantly and she tried to step back, but when she raised her foot, Wu Ming called her back. She could only lower her head and stand there in silence.
Chapter 54: The Temperamental Purple Girl
"I heard that you've been here once. Does that mean you've made up your mind?" Wu Ming raised the tip of his tongue and gently scraped the milk grapes. Yue Ji in his arms trembled slightly, her face as red as it could be.
Yue Ji is a woman with every detail of her body being exquisite.
Even the pair of breasts were hard to find flaws in. Wu Ming's desire for her was probably more of a man's possessiveness.
As for Lin Shiyin, who was similar to Li Xunhuan in terms of love, Wu Ming was a little surprised that she could make up her mind so quickly this time.
This kind of woman is only suitable for getting rewards. In Wu Ming's opinion, it's only necessary to do it once.
"Yeah." Lin Shiyin responded with her head down. She was very dissatisfied with Wu Ming and Meng Lang's behavior. But just as Wu Ming analyzed, her current situation was very bad. There were some choices she had to make, and some things she had to endure.
"Okay, you set the time and I'll arrange the rest. After you're done, clean yourself up and come to my house to find me." Wu Ming made the decision quickly and decisively, but his words already showed his intention to drive the guest away.
"Tonight, he will go out to drink and party with friends as usual. Once Long Xiaoyun dies, I will keep my promise." The "he" that Lin Shiyin mentioned was naturally Li Xunhuan. In order to disappoint Lin Shiyin, this newly crowned third scholar of the dynasty almost made himself a member of all the major brothels in Chang'an City.
Seeing his son degrade himself for Lin Shiyin and turned himself into such a miserable state, Old Li was filled with hatred. During this period of time when he had nothing to do, he had to give Lin Shiyin some sympathy intentionally or unintentionally.
This is also related to Lin Shiyin's ability to make a decision so quickly.
After saying the last sentence, Lin Shiyin left directly and decisively. In her opinion, Wu Ming made such a request to her just out of lust. From Wu Ming's various behaviors, it seemed that this man was not really interested in her.
To be honest, this made her feel humiliated. She didn't think she was worse than anyone else. Even if Li Xunhuan wanted to give her up, his feelings for her were still strong. Long Xiaoyun even pretended to be sick for her and tried every means to get her.
Only Wu Ming gave her the feeling that he wanted to use her as a tool and then throw her away. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
Unless necessary, she didn't want to stay with Wu Ming for too long.
So insulting.
After Lin Shiyin left, Wu Ming thought about how to deal with Long Xiaoyun. After thinking about it, he realized that he had to do it himself. Sending other people would easily leave traces. Long Xiaoyun was pretending to be sick and was not really sick. He still had some strength. If Li Xunhuan noticed it, it would easily get him into trouble.
It’s actually okay if it’s just Li Xunhuan alone. The current Li Xunhuan only has the strength of a master, but in this world, Li Xunhuan has the Li family behind him. Old Li is now the Minister of Revenue and has great influence in the court.
Wu Ming gently patted the plumpness in Yue Ji's arms, leaving a few light pink marks on the white snow-capped breasts. Then, in Yue Ji's puzzled look, he helped her hide the treasure back into her clothes.
"I won't eat you today. I have some things to deal with." Wu Ming naturally knew why Yue Ji was confused. After a brief explanation, he walked out of the study room casually.
There is no need to rush to eat the meat that is already in your mouth. Although the system reward is tempting, you have to digest it after eating it, and I haven’t been to Zi Lan Xuan for a long time.
Given Zi Nu's temper, she would scold me if I didn't go.
…………
"Humph!"
In Zi Lan Xuan, Wu Ming tried to hold Zi Nu in his arms, but the effect was not good. Zi Nu usually had a waist as soft as a boneless snake, but today it was exceptionally strong.
How can I describe that feeling? A wife who is difficult to coax is like a pig that is difficult to hold. When she starts to have fun, she is simply invincible.
Zi Nu ignored Wu Ming and walked in front of her on her own, carelessly arranging the things for her little sisters. The vase here was crooked, and the ones on the side were not cleaned properly.
Even a fool could see that she was looking for trouble, and she was doing it for Wu Ming to see. The ladies in Zilanxuan also cooperated, and they did whatever Zi Nu said, pretending to be watching the fun. Wu Ming was helpless, but he still pretended to beg for mercy.
It's just a woman's little temper, and she's a beautiful woman like a flower. Occasionally, she can just have a little bit of interest. Do we really have to treat all women as tools, and throw them away after playing with them? Life would be so boring that way.
Seeing that he was willing to cooperate with her temper, Zi Nu's kindness had actually melted away long ago. However, with so many young ladies surrounding her, it would be embarrassing if she showed weakness so quickly.
But on second thought, if he didn't show weakness, Wu Ming would be the one to be embarrassed. Men care most about their reputation. If he didn't give face to others who were so cooperative, wouldn't it be a bit too much if he didn't give them face?
Thinking of this, Zi Nu no longer cared about her own face. She moved her feet and without saying anything else, she took the initiative to lean into Wu Ming's arms.
It is said that this woman is smart. Although it is a little embarrassing, Wu Ming feels comfortable. This leaning has melted the man's iron heart.
"This won't happen again. If you don't hear from me for such a long time, I'll take care of you." Zi Nu grabbed Wu Ming's big hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. Her ears and eyes were red.
It seems aggrieved and it is really aggrieved.
"Okay!" Wu Ming didn't say anything else. Amid the cheers of the girls in Zilanxuan, he hugged Zi Nu around the waist and kissed her hard.
Unless it is necessary, Wu Mingjue should present himself as a good man. Moreover, he really likes Zi Nu, so if he likes someone, he should give her some preference. But at the moment, it seems that Zi Nu is not the kind of person who will get angry if she is favored.
This can be seen from the fact that she was willing to let Wu Ming and Nong Yu mess around.
"Alright, stop shouting, or you'll be punished by Sister Zi Nu."
"Sister Nongyu, I think you are envious. If you want to be envious, just go ahead. Anyway, Master Wu is very kind to you." Nongyu was indeed a little jealous. To be honest, her relationship with Wu Ming was also a muddled one. This guy was too good. If you asked him to hold your hand, he would dare to hold you in his arms and flirt with you. This was how she was trapped step by step. By the time she came to her senses, she had been taken advantage of all over.
By then, it was too late to regret.
"Put me down quickly. Some of the girls are probably jealous. During the time you were away, Nongyu was very worried about you. She hardly played her zither anymore and acted like a resentful woman, as if I, as her elder sister, had treated her badly."
Zi Nu was so embarrassed that she hit Wu Ming. After breaking free from Wu Ming's arms, she pulled him straight to Nong Yu. However, she didn't expect that Nong Yu would become shy at this moment.
When she saw Wu Ming coming, she covered her face with her hands, pushed away the sisters who were surrounding her, and ran straight back to her room.
Wu Ming spread his hands helplessly and could only follow closely.
Zi Nu pushed everyone back and followed Wu Ming slowly.
