Chapter 186: The head of the Su family
That morning, when Lu Chen yawned and walked out of the wooden house, he saw a man standing there with his hands behind his back on the quiet flying goose platform, not far from his wooden house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He looked about forty or fifty years old, with an elegant bearing and a calm expression, perhaps because of his age, his temples already had a little starry, but it could still be seen that he was still at the prime of a man's age.
The man stood there, looking at the sea of clouds beyond the cliff, and then probably heard a voice, he turned around and saw Lu Chen, and then he smiled, peaceful and quiet, nodded to Lu Chen, and said with a smile: "Hello." ”
"Well, hello, may I ask who you are?" Lu Chen recalled, and found that he had not seen this person before, so he asked politely.
The man walked towards him and stood a few feet away from Lu Chen, neither too close to look awkward, not too far away to make people feel rude. He looked Lu Chen up and down, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Presumably Your Excellency is Lu Chen, right?"
"Hmm, I'm Lu Chen. Seniors know me?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.
The man smiled and said, "Oh, I shouldn't have seen it before, let me introduce myself, my surname is Su, and my name is Tianhe." ”
"Su Tianhe......" Lu Chen read it in his heart, his face suddenly moved, and he looked at his face again, and he really felt a little familiar, but it was somewhat similar to Su Qingjun. He was taken aback and said, "Could it be that you are the ...... of the Su family?"
Su Tianhe smiled and said, "I am the head of the Su family, and I am also Qingjun's father." ”
Lu Chen was dumbfounded for a while, but he didn't expect that this head of the Su family would actually come to this flying goose platform alone early in the morning, but looking at the appearance of this Su Tianhe, his bearing was extraordinary, but it was completely different from several young people in his family.
At this moment, Su Tianhe's gaze also swept over Lu Chen's face, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Brother Lu, I have no way to teach my son, and my majesty is not strict, so that you will suffer." This matter is all the fault of our Su family, I will make amends to you first. ”
After saying that, he solemnly bowed his hand, but he saluted Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's eyebrows were raised, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, but then he hurriedly stepped out of the way and said, "Seniors, don't be like this, I can't afford it." ”
Su Tianhe smiled and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu is reasonable, he is really a handsome among people, and he must also be a broad-minded person. As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a cloth bag and stuffed it into Lu Chen's hand, and said, "These are some rare spiritual materials, and they are probably worth thousands of spirit stones." A little heart, I can't resist the guilt in the old man's heart, and I ask Brother Lu to accept it, and for the sake of my old face, I implore Brother Lu not to hold a grudge against our Su family. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Chen with a sincere expression. Lu Chen's face also showed a little panic, and he nodded: "Senior Su, you are too polite, how can you be embarrassed by this?"
While saying kind words, Lu Chen was about to push the cloth bag out, but the fingers on his palm grasped the cloth bag.
Su Tianhe glanced at the cloth bag, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he insisted on giving it.
The two pushed for a while, and in the end, Lu Chen reluctantly accepted it, and thanked Su Tianhe happily.
After laughing for a while, Su Tianhe and Lu Chen seemed to have chatted very speculatively, and in the middle he glanced at the Shibi Cave Mansion over there, then turned his head and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, I don't see that it's too early, can you go over and help me call Qingjun and let her come out to meet me?"
Lu Chen was a little surprised, and said: "Senior, you and her are father and daughter, wouldn't it be good to go over and call the door directly?"
Su Tianhe sighed and said, "Brother Lu, you don't know, I was not at home a while ago, I heard that Qingjun came back to have a big fight with Neiko and a few brothers, and then the two sides didn't contact each other for a few days. When I heard about it when I returned, I immediately reprimanded them and went up the mountain. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Actually, what you just said is also reasonable, Qingjun and I are father and daughter, and we can naturally talk about anything, but I am afraid that she will still be angry in her heart and refuse to see me." Therefore, it is better to trouble Brother Lu. ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I see, okay, I'll help you call her, but you have to talk about it first, whether she will come out to see you herself, I can't guarantee it." ”
Su Tianhe laughed, his expression was relaxed, but there seemed to be a faint light flashing in the depths of his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that Brother Lu really knows something about Qingjun, do you know that it is a little difficult to call her this morning?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, Senior Su, you misunderstood, how do I know that, I am afraid that I am such a lowly miscellaneous disciple, even if I go to call Miss Su, I may not be able to ignore me." Okay, you wait, I'll call it for you. ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the stone gate of the cave.
The morning sun shone down from the sky and shone on the faces of these two men, clearly reflecting the moment Lu Chen turned his back to Su Tianhe, the smiles on the faces of the two of them disappeared at the same time.
The man's gaze was calm and a little indifferent, as deep as the sea.

Lu Chen stood in front of the stone gate of the cave mansion and began to bang loudly on the door, occasionally turning his head in the gap, he and Su Tianhe both smiled at each other and bowed their heads slightly.
However, after calling for a long time, Shimen still didn't move, and it seemed that Su Qingjun didn't mean to come out.
Lu Chen touched his chest, there was still a yellow rune stone lying there, the heart-burning talisman that Su Qingjun gave him when she planted the eagle fruit tree, and she didn't take it back later. So these days, in fact, if he wanted to find Su Qingjun, he would not call the door like this. However, now he has no intention of using the Heart Burning Talisman, so after shouting for a while, he turned around and looked at Su Tianhe, and said helplessly: "Senior, you see ......"
Su Tianhe nodded, pondered for a moment and said to Lu Chen: "Even if this is the case, it is not good for me to stay here for a long time, and there are indeed some things to do in the city under the mountain, so I can only leave first." Brother Lu, please go back and see Qingjun, help me talk to her, just say that the old man came to see her, they are all a family, there is nothing that cannot be said, let her go down the mountain to see me when she is free. ”
Lu Chen replied and said, "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely tell you." ”
Su Tianhe smiled and bowed his hand, and then turned around, from beginning to end, he was elegant and approachable, completely different from the other Su family members that Lu Chen had seen before, and it was difficult not to have a good impression of him.
Lu Chen watched his figure gradually walk away, and his brows furrowed slightly.
……
As usual, Su Qingjun waited until dusk on this day before Shi Shiran walked out of the cave and walked around on the flying goose platform. When Lu Chen saw her, he told Su Qingjun about Su Tianhe's coming here during the day.
Su Qingjun was silent after hearing this, the expression on her face looked a little complicated, faintly annoyed, but a little guilty and ashamed.
Lu Chen saw the change in her expression, and didn't say anything, just truthfully repeated what Su Tianhe said to her, and then walked away.
In that evening, Su Qingjun looked at the sea of clouds on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and the position where he stood happened to be where Su Tianhe stood during the day.

"I heard that the most difficult thing in this world to part with is the relationship between parents and children. Lu Chen said to Lao Ma with emotion, "It's a pity that I haven't felt this kind of taste since I was a child, and I don't know if it's so deep and difficult to give up." ”
Lao Ma smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't, but I didn't expect that you would tell the old man Su so honestly, I thought you would at least have to make something in it and mix some bad water." ”
"Nonsense, where am I that kind of person. Lu Chen said.
"Trust me, you are. Lao Ma said, then lowered his head to avoid a cup smashed by Lu Chen, and said with a smile, "So the consequence of this rumor is that Su Qingjun went down the mountain and went home today?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "She has been a beautiful and filial daughter for twenty years, and both parents are here, so where can she really say it." Moreover, don't underestimate Su Tianhe, I think this person is quite deep in the city, and he is not an easy person to deal with, much better than those waste nephews under him. ”
Lao Ma said "um" and said, "Yes, the Su family has been thriving over the years, and Su Tianhe has made a lot of contributions. ”
Lu Chen stopped talking here, the two sat for a while, and Lu Chen suddenly said, "How many days are left until the night of the full moon next year?"
The old horse was stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay, why do you ask this?" said and frowned for a moment, and then said: "There are still 19 days." ”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "Can the dead bald head come back before that day?"
Lao Ma's eyes froze, his face suddenly became serious, he stared at Lu Chen, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter? Could it be that the spy has any movement?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not completely sure. As he spoke, he told Lao Ma about the mysterious symbol he found in the forest that day and the meaning he understood in it, and finally said: "Whether the traitor will appear that day, and whether he will meet me, I still can't say at the moment." ”
After the old horse pondered for a moment, he said, "I will tell the adults about this matter immediately, and then you will come over again in three days, how about it?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Lao Ma still showed a hint of joy on his face, and said, "If we can find the traitor so smoothly, we will be easy." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "What, didn't you originally want to find a place here for more than ten years and so long?"
Lao Ma thought for a while and said with a smile: "I don't need it for more than ten years, but I really thought that maybe it would take at least a few years." ”
The two smiled at each other, and after a while, Lu Chen seemed to ask him casually, "By the way, you are not bad at seeing, have you ever heard of a strange insect with three eyes and a green luster, shaped like a small snake devouring flesh and blood?" (To be continued.) )
