Chapter Seventy-Seven: Grief-stricken
Su Cheng, who was asleep, was woken up by the sound of a hurried phone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He opened his eyes in displeasure and answered the phone.
"Young master, subordinates are incompetent! I have come to confess my sins to the young master! On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged male voice said in a tone full of guilt and grief.
Su Cheng sat up straight, only to feel that his head was splitting, the cold caused his limbs to weaken, and after a sleep, his condition did not improve, and his head became more and more dizzy.
"What do you mean?" Su Cheng scolded lightly, "Make it clear!" ”
The man said slowly, "Young Master, my subordinates are ordered to protect the young lady......"
"Are you a colleague of the Tangzhou rudder?" As soon as he heard Liu Ruoan, Su Cheng reacted to who the other party was.
"Yes, young master!"
"What's wrong with Liu Ruoan?" Su Cheng was suddenly anxious.
“…… The young lady went out to inspect with the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and when there was an earthquake, the house collapsed and caused a fire, and the young lady ...... "The man choked up, "I was killed......
Su Cheng only felt that his mind was blank, and he twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally, this joke was not funny at all, he obviously only talked to her on the phone before napping.
"What do you mean to be killed? What does it mean to cause a house to collapse and cause a fire due to an earthquake? Didn't I tell you to protect her? Su Cheng yelled hysterically, "What are you talking to me now...... Killed? What do you all eat? Can't even protect yourself? ”
"The young lord is angry," the man suddenly sobbed, "we have sent to protect the young lady's brother...... All dead! All of them were burned out! ”
Su Cheng still didn't want to admit this fact, he shook his head vigorously, and after being silent for a few seconds, he hung up the phone directly, and immediately called the executive officer, "What's the situation in Tangzhou now?" ”
Faced with the sudden questioning, the executive officer seemed a little panicked, and he replied with trepidation, "Some officials went to inspect the scene, and the explosion was caused by a leak in the gas pipeline, and except for some mutilated limbs, the scene has been reduced to ashes by the explosion." The executive's magnetic voice was extremely low, "Young master, please mourn!" ”
"Sorry for your uncle!" Su Cheng was furious, "Who said she was dead?" Did you see it with your own eyes? 100% sure? ”
The executive officer was so frightened that he quickly changed his words, "...... Yes, yes, what the young master said is very true! The young lady Jiren has her own natural appearance, it must be the wrong information! The young lady must be fine! ”
Su Cheng's emotions were still difficult to calm down, and he shouted loudly into the phone, "Prepare a special plane for me immediately, I want to go to Tangzhou!" ”
"Yes...... The little ones will do it right away! ”
Along the way, Su Cheng sneezed constantly, cleared his nose, and began to cough. Looking at his blank eyes, you can imagine his haggard face under the mask.
Aunt Qin Fang brought the pills and water to him, and said with concern, "Young master, your body is important, take the medicine and sleep for a while!" Anyway, it will take more than two hours to go to Tangzhou! ”
"It's okay, I can handle it!" Su Cheng waved his hand, coughed again as he spoke, "It's just a cold, and it's not a serious illness!" ”
It's not that he doesn't want to take medicine, but he is afraid that the power of the medicine will come up, and he won't wake up for a while. Rejecting Aunt Qin Fang's kindness, he lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate. Qin Ming and Qin Yue stood aside.
When he arrived in Tangzhou, it was almost dark, and under the leadership of local officials, Su Cheng came to the place of the incident.
The scene had been cordoned off, and there was nothing but charred and mutilated walls, and an unrecognizable pile of ash on the ground.
From a distance, I saw Yu Chi Rongxin sitting on the ground, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her eyes were dull, and she looked like she hadn't left since she received the first notice. Zhai Mingxuan on the side hugged her and kept patting her on the back to comfort her.
Su Cheng didn't step forward, he suddenly felt a little scared, he didn't know how to face the grief-stricken parents, he didn't know how to comfort them, because at the moment his heart hurt as much as theirs.
Su Cheng clenched his fist and put it to his mouth and bit it tightly.
"Master Horse, please mourn!" The local official couldn't help but say something.
Su Cheng didn't speak, he looked at everything in front of him in a daze, the cold and sadness and anger made him a little at a loss, a sense of powerlessness hit him, his legs were weak and he almost fell, the executive officer hurriedly supported him, and comforted, "Young master, take care of yourself!" ”
The official also echoed with a sad face, "People can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad!" ”
Su Cheng gritted his teeth tightly, clenched his fists, for a long time, a mouthful of stuffy breath held in his chest came out of his mouth, he coughed violently, he didn't want to believe that Liu Ruoan died like this! He didn't believe it! He didn't believe it!
He asked the executive for a mobile phone and kept calling Liu Ruoan, but no matter how many times he dialed, it was a busy signal.
Su Cheng angrily threw the phone to the ground, and the phone's battery plate and back cover were thrown out.
At this time, Qu Ziyan, who came in a hurry, saw this scene and smiled bitterly in despair, "I...... I always wonder if the news is wrong......" His eyes were full of sadness, "I rushed to the news as soon as I received it, and I kept wondering if there was something wrong...... Can...... Brother Su, you look like this, you ...... How are you calling me? ”
Su Cheng sat weakly on the ground, his eyes darkened, and he didn't say a word.
Qu Ziyan turned his face sadly, standing in place at a loss.
After a stalemate for a long time, the executive officer timidly stepped forward and handed the mobile phone to Su Cheng, "Young master, come up and call!" ”
Su Cheng remained motionless.
"Young master?"
Su Cheng let out a long breath, cleaned up his mood, took the phone, got up and walked into the distance, and Liu Xi's voice came from inside, "Is Shaohan with you?" ”
"Yes Father!"
"You two ran to Tangzhou without a sound, did something happen?"
"No," Su Cheng replied, "I guess my father already knows the news of Liu Huai and Liu Ruoan's deaths, right?" I was notified that as a family member, I would come and make a show...... It just so happened that Shaohan was also there, so we were together! ”
"Not bad!" Liu Xi replied, his voice full of joy, "Now the official is still blocking the news, just wait to confirm that Liu Huai is dead, and then you can tell the world!" ”
"I'm sure I'm going to die," Su Cheng said with a sad sigh, "The scene has been blown to ashes, and there's nothing left." ”
"Hahahaha," Liu Xi was in a good mood, "Wang Zhan, this old fox is really vicious, so that Liu Huai is not even a scumbag left!" ”
There was a huge contrast between Liu Xi's happiness and Su Cheng's grief, and he was a little inexplicably irritable, "If my father-in-law doesn't have anything else to order, I'll hang up first!" Su Cheng said coldly, "We will come back as soon as possible!" ”
"Cheng'er, why are you so weak?" Liu Xi noticed his strangeness, "Such a happy thing, we should really sit down and have a few drinks to celebrate!" ”
"It's a great pleasure!" Su Chengqiang squeezed out a few dry laughs, "I have a cold recently, and my body is a little uncomfortable!" ”
"Oh, you have to pay attention to your body," Liu Xi said with concern, "You have to get better quickly!" There's so much more to do! ”
"Yes!" Su Cheng replied sneeringly.
After hanging up Liu Xi's phone, Su Cheng went back again, he mustered up the courage to walk up to Zhai Mingxuan and Wei Chi Rongxin, and called softly, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law!" ”
Zhai Mingxuan held Yu Chi Rongxin motionlessly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he muttered to himself, "Ruo'an is gone......"
Su Cheng almost couldn't hold back his tears and was about to burst out of his eyes. He took a deep breath hard, put his hand on Zhai Mingxuan's shoulder, and choked up, "You have to take good care of your health...... I will definitely find the murderer and break him to pieces! ”
Zhai Mingxuan's eyes were empty, as if his soul had been withdrawn, and Yu Chi Rongxin leaned on him with a tired face and wept silently. Su Cheng's emotions were a little uncontrollable, and he withdrew and left a second before the tears fell.
Su Cheng took Qu Ziyan and the others to the Wanchao Huitangzhou to branch the rudder, found a place and asked for a bunch of wine, and began to borrow wine to kill their sorrows.
"What are you going to do next?" After a long time, Qu Ziyan took a sip of wine and asked without raising his head.
Su Cheng lifted the jar and drank a few sips, wiped his lips with his hand, and replied hatefully: "I want to kill Wang Zhan!" ”
Qu Ziyan saw that his face was flushed, and under the influence of alcohol, he looked a little delirious, but he still followed his words and dissuaded, "Don't be impulsive!" ”
"I'm not impulsive!" Su Cheng's eyes were full of anger, "All along, our enemies have been Wang Zhan and Liu Huai, originally wanted to use him to borrow a knife to kill people and kill Liu Huai, but I never thought that he would not even let Liu Ruoan go!" If I don't take revenge, it will be hard to get rid of my heart! ”
"Killing Wang Zhan, how easy is it!" Qu Ziyan said, "That old fox, Liu Huai, King Shuo has been fighting with him for so many years and hasn't broken him, so you know how cunning he is!" ”
Su Cheng didn't say anything, he naturally knew that it was not easy, Wang Zhan had a huge power and many eyeliners, let alone killing him, it was not easy to even get close to him.
Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was because he was already sick, Su Cheng didn't drink much before he fell asleep on the table.
Qu Ziyan helped him to a place where he could lie flat, and continued to sit back and pour himself a drink.
He looked for Liu Ruoan for more than ten years, and finally reunited with her, he thought that God pitied him for being infatuated, who knows, fate is so shallow. He originally wanted to help Liu Xi achieve Liu Xi's goal while deepening his relationship with Liu Ruoan, as long as he gave the Qu family a clean slate one day, he would generously propose marriage to Yu Chi Rongxin. And all this has not yet begun, and now everything has been shattered.
It is said that getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, but he feels that the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes.
Qu Ziyan didn't know how much he had drunk, and when he woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Su Cheng left a note and went back to Changluo first.
On the evening of the second day after the incident, the Han court issued an obituary, and the whole country was in mourning.
Wang Zhan and his ministers were busy and prepared to hold an enthronement hall for the crown prince Liu Chengxuan on a certain day.
Su Cheng was like crazy, and he tried to murder Wang Zhan, but he failed repeatedly. Missed again and again, but Wang Zhan became more and more vigilant, and it became more and more difficult to attack him.
Su Cheng dreams of Liu Ruoan almost every night, sometimes dreaming that she is smiling at him in her dreams, sometimes dreaming that she is facing away from him, sometimes dreaming that she is arguing with him, but every time she wakes up from the dream, all that is left is heartache. As a result, he always felt that he had to drink a lot of alcohol to numb his nerves. Therefore, nearly a week has passed, and he still has a high fever, and the scars on his face have not improved.
On this day, Su Cheng booked a room and asked Qu Ziyan and Na Yan to drink in a noisy bar.
The three of them sat on the balcony blowing the evening breeze, admiring the moonlight and chatting. After a while, Na Yan was unwilling to be lonely and went outside to find his sister.
Qu Ziyan lifted her black-rimmed glasses and said in a low voice, "Today is her first seven ......."
A trace of sadness flashed across Su Cheng's face, these days, fever and alcohol have made his head dizzy and dizzy, and he has been maintaining his half-dead state, so that he has no energy to think crankily and sadly, however, as soon as Qu Ziyan said this, a sense of powerlessness hit him, and he exhaled softly, "It's been really hard these days!" As he spoke, he drank the beer from his glass. Then, pouring it from the beginning, he took an empty cup and poured half a cup, put it aside, and gently touched it with his own cup, "I will definitely kill Wang Zhan to avenge you!" Joan, may you ascend to bliss soon! ”
With that, he drank it all again.
At this time, a few young people walked by from the downtown downstairs, although they disguised themselves very carefully, but Su Cheng, who was good at disguise, still saw at a glance that one of them was the soon-to-be-enthroned prince Liu Chengxuan.
"Is that person Liu Chengxuan?" Su Cheng tilted his head slightly in the direction of Qu Ziyan.
Although I believe that I am not wrong, the person who is about to ascend the throne should be too busy to even spare time to go to the toilet, and it is still a little puzzling to appear in such a busy city.
Qu Ziyan glanced at it and replied, "Yes! I heard that it is the pillar of Nanxuan Pavilion, Liu Chengxuan has a close personal relationship with her, and often secretly runs out to cheer! ”
"Wang Zhan doesn't know?"
"It seems that I don't know," Qu Ziyan replied, "If I knew, I'm afraid this woman would have died a long time ago!" ”
Su Cheng's eyes were sinister, "You say, Liu Chengxuan ran away secretly?" ”
Qu Ziyan glanced at him strangely, "What do you want to do?" ”
Su Cheng's face was full of hideousness, and he muttered, "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break in!" ”
"You're going to do something to him?" Qu Ziyan asked lightly, as if he had expected it a long time ago. He knew that Su Cheng's assassination of Wang Zhan had failed repeatedly, and this evil breath in his heart would not stop for a day.
"That's right! You can't kill Wang Zhan, and killing him can also make Wang Zhan mess up," Su Cheng looked back at him, "And, if I'm not mistaken, the explosion in Weiyang Palace was done by him and Wang Zhan," he said, stroking the wound on his face with his hand, "Thanks to him, I can't be embarrassed until now!" ”
Qu Ziyan poured himself a drink with a calm face, "I'm afraid there won't be a big mess, Liu Chengxuan is just a puppet in Wang Zhan's hands, the prince who came out, in addition to the crown prince Liu Chengxuan and Liu Jin'an's dragon and phoenix brother, the fourth prince Liu Chengxin, if you kill Liu Chengxuan, Wang Zhan can immediately put Liu Chengxin on the throne!" Qu Ziyan looked at him coldly, "For him, there is nothing to mess up with a dead person, it's just to let him change a puppet again!" (To be continued.) )
