Chapter 256 Academy Street
Chen Tong is waiting for the people sent out in the Xu family on Shuyuan Street.
This is the home of Xu An and his others, and it is only a wall separated from the Shen family next door.
Chen Tong skipped class again today, and she felt very guilty about this.
Yes, she felt very guilty, so she once again told Mr. A to listen carefully and tell her when she came back.
At this time, Chen Tong was waiting while reading a book.
The night before yesterday, after she left the official post, she asked Azhi to stare at Mei Shengxue's every move.
Mei Shengxue pretended to be a child and went to the royal palace villa to abduct Lang Yue, the apprentice of Taoist Qing.
When the news came, Chen Tong narrowed her eyes.
That day Mei Shengxue asked the young man in the inn to go to the Wangfu Villa to deliver wine to Langyue. She had already guessed that the person behind Mei Shengxue was Taoist Yiqing. But at that time she didn't know what Mei Shengxue was going to do.
Now she knew everything.
Mei Shengxue is going to sneak into the palace to assassinate the Empress Dowager!
From the first side of the Qin Palace, Chen Tong felt the hostility of Taoist Yiqing towards her.
That kind of hostility is not on the face, nor in the words, but a feeling.
Perhaps it was the intuition of a woman or the instinct of a child. Where the Taoist master and disciple of Yiqing were located, Chen Tong felt like she was on her back.
So, that night, Chen Tong stabbed Taoist Yiqing without hesitation in front of Mei Shengxue.
At this time, Azhi came back from outside.
"Miss Chen, guess who did I see outside the alley?"
"Who?" Chen Tong asked casually.
"Yiqing Taoist!" Although he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, Azhi looked energetic. "When I came back, I happened to meet the newly moved Mr. Li. Mr. Li was about to get into the sedan chair when he suddenly saw a person on the opposite side of the road. Mr. Li didn't even get into the sedan chair and greeted the man, but the man walked quickly like a ghost. When I passed by Mr. Li, I heard him say to his entourage that he would not read it wrong, that fake Taoist entourage. The entourage also advised Mr. Li not to be angry, and Taoist entourage has always been sarcastic."
Mr. Li, whom Azhi mentioned, is another aide to the Qin Prince's Mansion, Li Sinan. The Li family had just moved here a while ago and was on the same street with the Shen family and Xu family.
Li Sinan met Taoist Yiqing almost every day. He said that he would not read it wrong when he saw Taoist Yiqing.
Chen Tong became interested: "Yiqing Taoist came to Shuyuan Street, and he didn't want to be seen?"
Chen Tong glanced at Fangfei. Fangfei understood it and pulled the little girl who was playing shuttlecock in the yard, and the two little girls sneaked out of the house.
Li Sinan's sedan has already left, but the stall selling breakfast is still there.
Because there is a college nearby, these breakfast stalls will not close until almost noon.
Fangfei ran to a stall and asked, "Aunt Lei, have you seen a Taoist priest?"
"So your family invited that Taoist priest? He was still here just now... I've gone to the right place." Aunt Lei, who sold wontons, pointed to the small teahouse opposite.
"It was not my family invited me. I just heard that a Taoist priest came and wanted to tell fortunes with him." Fangfei said with a smile.
"Oh, what's the fate of every child? Fangfei is a blessed person at first glance, and must be a good person."
"Thank you Lei..." Before Fangfei could finish her words, the younger sister poked her, and then she swallowed the words back into her stomach.
The door of the Shen family was opened.
Those who came out were Jiang Pozi and Xinwu. Jiang Pozi was carrying a basket of vegetables in his hand and saw that he was going out to buy vegetables.
But why did Xinwu follow?
It’s not something that ladies and ladies like to go to, and even Fangfei doesn’t like to go to.
"Girl, Aunt Jiang, are you going to buy vegetables?" Fangfei hurried over and said hello.
Xinwu exclaimed and asked, "Didn't you follow the second girl to go to school?"
Fangfei smiled and said, "Mr. Chi liked the wontons that the lady brought to her last time. The lady asked us to buy them and send them to Mr. Chi."
Xinwu nodded, looked at Fangfei and Xiaomei, who were empty-handed, and did not ask any more, and left with Mrs. Jiang one after another.
Seeing them walking away, the little sister lowered her voice and said, "Sister Fangfei, you are exposed. We didn't even take the food box. How could we take the wontons away?"
Fangfei opened her mouth wide, tilted her head, and then tilted her head...
Then, the two little girls ran towards the Xu family.
If they did not run away, but walked to the teahouse opposite, they might hear Taoist Yiqing asking the clerk: "Did a 12 or 13-year-old boy come yesterday? It's not a student in the academy, but a Taoist boy of my father..."
On this street, many 12 or 13-year-old boys walk by. Most of them are students in nearby academies, but there are very few Taoist children.
The guys in the teahouse have never seen Taoist boys. They are on this street all day long. Whenever Taoist boys walk by in front of the teahouse, they will definitely see it.
Fangfei ran back panting, and the little sister stumbled behind her.
Seeing Shen Tong, Fangfei immediately said in a fuss: "Miss, it's amazing, there's something wrong!"
Shen Tong stood up and said, "What's wrong?"
Fangfei looked around seriously, then lowered her voice and said, "The big girl followed Mrs. Jiang to the vegetable market. Are you surprised?"
Shen Tong sat down again.
"Did you see Taoist Yiqing?" Shen Tong asked.
Fangfei was stunned and then remembered the purpose of going out today.
Aunt Lei said something, but Aunt Lei said that the Taoist priest was still there just now, and it seemed that he had gone to the opposite side.
When Fangfei ran to the opposite side, there was no trace of Taoist Qing...
At this time, Wang Shuangxi came back from outside.
"Mei Shengxue is the Nanweifang that left at dawn. I kept staring at it. Lang Yue was tied to the Laoji dry goods store and never came out. She is still hidden inside. Brother Xu is staring there."
As for the news that Azhi just brought back, the people who came from the palace set off this morning, and Mei Shengxue was inside.
Shen Tong smiled: "Mei Shengxue caught Langyue and was used as a talisman for herself. I think at this time, Taoist Yiqing should also know who captured Langyue."
Shen Tong guessed correctly, Taoist Yiqing already knew.
He left Shuyuan Street, feeling both disappointed and relieved.
What was disappointed was that I didn’t find out about Langyue, and what was relieved was that Langyue had never been to Shuyuan Street.
This is also what he least wants to happen.
Since Shen Tong appeared, whenever he dreamed at midnight, Taoist Yiqing would not involuntarily go to the next room to take a look. When he saw Lang Yue sleeping soundly on the bed, he felt relieved.
He didn't want to see that one day, Lang Yue couldn't control himself and ran to Shuyuan Street.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have told him about that.
The reason I told Lang Yue that year was that I wanted to make Lang Yue's heart stronger, but he never expected that Shen Tong would come to Xi'an.
Langyue's heart was as calm as water, but the moment she saw Chen Tong, Langyue's heart was in chaos.
He can never go back to the past.
