Chapter 42 Sleeping Together
After dinner, Fang Shirou took Tang Shuo's pajamas from the closet and ran to take a shower.
After coming out, Tang Shuo, who had been sitting on the sofa studying the cowhide map, looked up and said, "Senior Sister, please accompany me to Guanzhong tomorrow. I want to pay my respects to my parents."
Tang Shuo's pajamas were a little big for Fang Shirou, so Fang Shirou didn't wear pajamas, but only wore a pajama jacket, exposing her two slender and smooth thighs directly to the air.
At this time, Fang Shirou, with her bare face, was like a lotus flower emerging from the water, lazy and charming.
Tang Shuo was surprised to find that he actually had improper thoughts about his senior sister, and he quickly cursed himself in his heart.
That’s my senior sister!
Tang Shuo, are you crazy?
"Yeah." Fang Shirou wiped her wet hair with one hand and said to Tang Shuo, "You've been to the Jiang family, right? What did they say?"
Fang Shirou knew what Tang Shuo had promised his lame master before his death, so she asked.
"The Jiang family's situation isn't very optimistic right now. Jiang Hongtao asked me to take care of his granddaughter, Jiang Tiantong," Tang Shuo replied, throwing the cowhide map onto the table. "I was going to tell him I only had two years left, but I held it back. If I feel like I'm dying, I'll make arrangements for this."
When Fang Shirou heard Tang Shuo mention his health again, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Soon, a smile returned to her face. She looked at Tang Shuo and asked, "Have you seen Jiang Tiantong? She's the most beautiful girl in Yanjing. And the two girls you live with are both very nice. Have you decided which one to marry? Or maybe just marry both and bring them to Master's grave to see."
Tang Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "People like me may not be interested in it."
Fang Shirou snorted coldly and said, "Unless they are blind, who would not want my junior brother?"
Fang Shirou's logic is very simple. In her opinion, there are only two types of people in this world.
One type is those who are good to her junior, and they are her friends. The other type is those who are not good to her junior, and they are her enemies.
From the first day she met Tang Shuo when she was nine years old, there could no longer be anyone else in her life!
Tang Shuo stood up and said to Fang Shirou with a smile, "It's getting late. We'll go to Guanzhong early tomorrow morning. You should go to bed first."
"What about you?"
"I'm sleeping on the sofa." Tang Shuo replied.
"Are you disgusted by my age?" Fang Shirou asked resentfully. "Didn't we always sleep together before?"
The muscles on Tang Shuo's face twitched.
Back then, he was only fourteen or fifteen, and his sister was only seventeen or eighteen, just two little kids. But now, he and his sister were both in their twenties. Wasn't it inappropriate for them to sleep together?
In the end, Tang Shuo was defeated by Fang Shirou and was semi-forced onto the bed by Fang Shirou.
Feeling Fang Shirou's even breathing and the faint fragrance on her body, Tang Shuo felt inexplicably at peace and soon fell asleep.
This was the most peaceful sleep he and his senior sister had ever had after six years of separation!
…………
Tang Shuo opened his eyes and saw Fang Shirou, who was standing just a few meters away from him, looking at him tenderly. He smiled and said, "Good morning."
"morning."
Then Tang Shuo started the first thing he did when he got up every day, which was to lie on the bed and practice the "Taiqing Tiaoqi Jing".
Suddenly his brows furrowed.
"Taiqing Tiaoqi Jing" is a book on qigong practice, which also has the effect of regulating qi and strengthening the body for ordinary people.
Before, when Tang Shuo was exercising, he could always feel the total amount of internal energy slowly increasing. Although it was slow, he could definitely feel it.
The reason why he retired from the army was that his strength began to stagnate for a period of time before his retirement. He realized that his body was changing and that he didn't have much time left, so he left the army to complete his own things.
But today he found that his internal strength not only did not remain at the same level as before, but began to regress, which made Tang Shuo feel very uneasy.
He has always been confident in helping the Jiang family and has no scruples about offending some young masters with strong backing. His only reliance is his kung fu.
But if he doesn't even have kung fu, then what ability does he have to do these things?
"What's wrong?" Fang Shirou noticed that Tang Shuo was abnormal and asked with concern.
"It's okay. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time." Tang Shuo smiled and said, "I'll get up and exercise first. You can rest for a while."
Tang Shuo did not tell his senior sister about his health problems because it would only make her worry and would not be of any use at all.
I exercised outside for an hour with complicated thoughts in my mind. When I returned, Fang Shirou had already prepared breakfast.
After dinner, the two went straight to the airport!
…………
After traveling all the way, it was already evening when Tang Shuo and Fang Shirou found the location of the ancient tomb marked on the cowhide map.
Fang Shirou looked at the cowhide map and pointed to a mound next to three sturdy locust trees not far away. She said, "That's where the ancient tomb is. The small grave next to it is your parents'."
Tang Shuo nodded and walked towards the small grave next to the ancient tomb with Fang Shirou.
Because no one has cleaned it for many years, the top of the small grave has long been covered with weeds.
Tang Shuo cleaned up briefly, took out the offerings Fang Shirou had prepared, and said as he burned paper, "Although I've never met you two, you are my parents after all. I will avenge you."
Glancing at the mound beside the grave, Tang Shuo continued, "I believe our Tang family has guarded their grave for many generations. You two have also sacrificed your lives there. No matter what great favors they have shown our family in the past, they should have been repaid."
Taking the cowhide map with the location of the ancient tomb marked on it from Fang Shirou's hand, Tang Shuo took a look at it and threw it directly into the fire.
"This is what you've protected with your lives. There's no point in staying here now..."
Fang Shirou looked at Tang Shuo lovingly, with a look of relief on her face.
It is not difficult to see from the markings on the ancient tomb map that the tomb here is extremely large and there is likely to be a fortune that is rich enough to rival a country. Not everyone can remain unmoved by such a fortune.
Fang Shirou thought: Tang Shuo is indeed still her kind-hearted junior brother!
If these words were known to Tang Shuo's enemies, they would definitely come and have a thorough discussion with Fang Shirou.
Tang Shuo stayed in front of the grave for a long time. He knew that this might be his first and last time to pay homage to his parents.
Afterwards, Tang Shuo lit a stick of incense at the entrance of the ancient tomb and left with Fang Shirou.
On the return flight, Fang Shirou asked, "Junior Brother, what are you going to do next?"
Tang Shuo, who was in a bad mood, forced a smile and said, "I don't know for the time being."
"You should take over the Southern Kingdom." Fang Shirou said, "These things were originally built for you."
Tang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I still have some things to deal with. I'll take over after I finish those things."
When he was chatting with Fang Shirou yesterday, Fang Shirou also introduced Nan Guo to him in detail.
This can be said to be the place where Fang Shirou has put so much effort over the years, but it is also a place of trouble. The situation here is a bit too complicated.
The fact that the Southern Kingdom could stand firm in Yanjing, a place where good and bad people mixed together, and be feared by others, was due to the care of two people.
Tang Shuo knew without hesitation that these two people obviously had ulterior motives.
Moreover, although the senior sister has been secretly obstructing Qiao Bazhi over the years, she has also attracted the other party's attention. Once exposed, the senior sister will undoubtedly be in the limelight.
He needs to take a stand in all these matters!
"Okay," Fang Shirou agreed. "Come to the club in a couple of days to familiarize yourself with the situation."
"Um."
After arriving in Yanjing, Fang Shirou went straight back to the Southland because of something.
Tang Shuo did not go with his senior sister, but instead took a car directly to the Jiang family.
With the resources controlled by the Jiang family, they might know Qiao Bazhi better than their senior sister.
However, Tang Shuo did not intend to involve the Jiang family in this matter. This matter could only be regarded as his private matter.
…………
Hengzhan Film and Television City.
"Okay, passed." A fat director with a beard shouted into the monitor.
Lu Wanqi let out a long sigh, handed the props in his hand to the assistant assigned to him by the crew, and at the same time took a bottle of water and took a sip.
People are always forgetful, especially when it comes to entertainment gossip about celebrities.
The sensational scandals about her that were circulating a month ago have now died down. Lu Wanqi has been living a secluded life and rarely appears in front of the camera except on the set. She has not even posted any photos of herself on Weibo during this period.
During this period, a major incident occurred in Hengdian Film and Television City. It was said that four men overdosed on a new type of injectable drug in a hotel, resulting in three, four and one being disabled, and the disabled man also became demented.
"Wanqi, let's go have dinner together tonight." A young male actor who had just acted opposite Lu Wanqi came over and said.
"Thank you, but that's okay." Lu Wanqi said with a smile. "I have something else to do."
"What could be wrong with you? Aren't you going back to the hotel after filming?"
"I really have something to do." Lu Wanqi insisted.
The fierce look in the young man's eyes flashed away, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't force you."
This was already the nth time that he had been rejected by Lu Wanqi. Looking at Lu Wanqi's back, the young man's expression was full of resentment.
Lu Wanqi walked up to the fat director and asked, "Director, when will my next scene start filming?"
The fat man flipped through a notebook he carried with him and said, "You can rest during the day tomorrow. There is a night scene tonight, but your part is not big. It should be completed in an hour."
"Can I take a leave?" Lu Wanqi asked, "Push my performance back."
The fat director was stunned. Although Lu Wanqi could not be called the most dedicated actor, she could be regarded as a model in the industry. She had never asked for leave or left early. Why did she suddenly ask for leave?
"What do you want?"
"It's just a small matter. I need to go back to Yanjing." Lu Wanqi said.
"How many days of leave do you want?"
"Two days." Lu Wanqi thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave now and be back the day after tomorrow night."
"Okay," the fat director nodded. "I'll send a car from the crew to take you to the airport."
"Thank you, director." Lu Wanqi said with a smile.
…………
In a car not far away.
A young man, observing the look on the actor's face as he spoke to Lu Wanqi through a telescope, said to the man pretending to sleep with his eyes closed beside him, "This guy doesn't seem to have pure intentions. Should we teach him a lesson?"
The man next to him closed his eyes and replied, "If we move, it will affect the filming progress."
"Oh, that's right. Let's talk about it after we finish filming." The man suddenly realized and asked, "Bai Miao, what do you think is the relationship between the captain and Lu Wanqi?"
"This is not something you need to worry about." The man called Bai Miao replied.
"Can't I just ask?"
"Call the captain and ask him yourself." Bai Miao said.
"Forget it then." The young man immediately shook his head and picked up the binoculars again to look over. "Hurry up and drive, Lu Wanqi is in the car."
Bai Miao sat up and asked doubtfully, "It's not time for the crew to go back yet."
"Perhaps she's not feeling well, or maybe Lu Wanqi is going back to Yanjing," the young man speculated. "It would be great if she were going to Yanjing, so she could see the captain."
