Chapter 92: Come Prepared
When Su Cheng and Liu Ruoan arrived at Caojing, the capital of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it was already late at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Ruoan rubbed his eyes and got out of the car, although it was already night, he could still hear the fighting outside.
Liu Ruoan looked around, "Where are we?" β
"General's Mansion!"
Liu Ruoan followed the direction of Su Cheng's finger and saw the door plaque not far away, with the words "General's Mansion" written on it.
"This is the mansion of Yan Chong, the general of the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
Liu Ruoan let out an "oh" and asked, "What are we doing here?" β
"You'll find out later!" After Su Cheng finished speaking, he knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.
As soon as the guards who opened the door saw Su Cheng coming, they invited him to enter the door and hurriedly went to report it.
Su Cheng led Liu Ruoan to follow the guards all the way to the main hall, but saw a burly man greet him.
"Young master!" The man arched his hand, he was half a head taller than Su Cheng, and because of the perennial marching and fighting in the army, he looked heroic.
"Brother Ji Lun!" Su Cheng returned the favor politely.
"The young master has worked hard all the way, please take a seat!" As he spoke, he ordered someone to serve tea.
Su Cheng nodded, took Liu Ruoan's hand, and jokingly introduced, "This is Neiko!" β
Yan Chong was stunned for half a second, and hurriedly knelt on one foot, "The last general, Yan Chong, has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" β
Liu Ruoan held his arm, "Hurry up, please get up!" β
Yan Chong turned his head and shouted into the house, "Wanwan, who do you see coming?" β
Out of the house came a thin woman with a book in her hand.
"Joan!" The woman exclaimed.
"Ruoci!" Liu Ruoan recognized that the woman was Li Ruoci, that is, Li Wanxuan, the crown princess of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The two couldn't help but give each other a hug.
"I can't imagine I'll see you again!" Li Wanxuan said.
"Yes!" Liu Ruoan happily agreed, "The situation was too complicated at that time, and I didn't ask for your contact information!" β
Li Wanxuan nodded, the afterglow swept over Su Cheng, and her face immediately pulled down, "You came with him?" β
Liu Ruoan smiled shyly, "Yes! β
Li Wanxuan thought for a while and said with a look of pity, "I'm really sorry, it's all because I have burdened you that you have to ...... with him Alas......"
Liu Ruoan shook his head again and again.
Seeing this, Su Cheng hurriedly interjected, "Don't feel guilty, thanks to you, Miss Li, we have achieved this marriage." β
Li Wanxuan looked at him blankly, and Su Cheng suddenly said solemnly, "Please accept Su Mou's worship!" β
Li Wanxuan was so frightened that she took half a step back, "What, what's going on?" She took Liu Ruoan's arm, "You're not...... Are you not satisfied with this marriage, how can you ......?"
"As the saying goes, feelings can be cultivated!" Su Cheng said, putting his hand on Liu Ruoan's shoulder, "What do you say, young lady?" β
Liu Ruoan smiled embarrassedly and hummed.
"Let's talk about it slowly," Su Cheng got to the point, "Let's talk about the situation now?" β
"After Zhu Chun learned that I was pregnant, he wanted to poison me," Li Wanxuan said, "As a result, I have been so happy these days, except for fruits, I haven't eaten a bite of what they sent, this afternoon, His Majesty came to visit me, accidentally ate my food, and died on the spot!" β
Liu Ruoan couldn't keep up with the rhythm a little, and looked at Li Wanxuan in surprise, "Ruoci...... You're a queen now? β
Li Wanxuan nodded, and then said, "Now they are blocking the news from the outside world and want to kill me, so that Zhu Chun will be alone in the court!" Whoever is appointed as the new king, it is his puppet. β
Su Cheng listened quietly, thought for a while, and said, "Now if you want to keep your position, you can only talk to Zhu Chun and them, since everyone knows that you are pregnant, then whether you are pregnant with a man or a woman, you are the future monarch of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and you are now the queen mother!" β
Li Wanxuan listened to Su Cheng's words, and silently glanced at Yan Chong, just one glance, which made Liu Ruoan inexplicably feel that this child did not seem to be Li Wanxuan and the late new monarch Li Haoyan, but ...... Li Wanxuan and Yan Chong's talent is right.
"When the new emperor is born, assisted by Brother Ji Lun, the new emperor will ascend the throne, and the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty will be in your hands!" Su Cheng's sly gaze switched back and forth on the faces of the two.
The maidservant took the tea tray and put it on the table, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and poured a cup of white water for Li Wanxuan.
"The young master and Zai Xia really coincide!" Yan Chong said with a smile, "This trip is risky, but it is a million profits, what conditions do you want, the young master can open his mouth!" β
"This trip is priceless!" Su Cheng smiled lightly, "You owe me a personal favor, he will definitely trouble the two of you in the future!" What does Brother Yan think? β
"Oh?" Yan Chong narrowed his eyes, "Every time I trouble the young master to help, the young master uses gold, silver and jewelry as a condition, but this time he only needs human favors?" β
Su Cheng nodded.
"Good!" Yan Chong said loudly, "If this matter is successful, if he has any requirements from the young master, Yan will definitely do his best to achieve the young master's wish!" β
Su Cheng held the teacup and moved his lips, raised his glass to Yan Chong, and then took a sip.
After seeing Li Wanxuan and Yan Chong, Su Cheng took Liu Ruoan to a secret mansion non-stop.
It was Na Yan who came to open the door, and when he saw the two of them arrive, he happily beckoned them in, and cautiously looked to see if anyone was following behind them.
Entering the gate, the courtyard was bustling with activity, and men and women sat in a circle around the bonfire on the vast flat ground outside, and the laughter of men and women in the house was heard from time to time.
When everyone saw Su Cheng coming, they all stopped to look at him and greeted him and Liu Ruoan.
"Young master, young lady!"
Su Cheng nodded briefly and asked Na Yan, "Is Shaohan here?" β
"In the inner room," replied Nayan, "I came in the afternoon, brought six people, and never came out after I went in!" β
"Take me to him!"
After Na Yan responded, he took Su Cheng and Liu Ruoan to the door of the room where Qu Ziyan was and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a dark, thin man. He glanced at the three of them, his eyes stopped at Liu Ruoan, and then he smiled, "Little princess, we meet again!" β
Liu Ruoan looked at it steadily, it was Qu Ziyan's accomplice when he kidnapped her last time-Huo Xiao.
Liu Ruoan smiled slightly, "Don't come unharmed!" β
"Sister, sister!" A teenager suddenly ran out of it, and the young man saw that there were two people standing next to Liu Ruoan, his eyes stopped on Su Cheng with a serious face, paused for two seconds, and then changed his voice and shouted, "Sister-husband!" β
Su Cheng cast a surprised look at Liu Ruoan.
"Zhai Junqi," Liu Ruoan pulled the young man to him, "my half-brother!" β
Su Cheng smiled very stiffly and greeted him, "Hello! β
Liu Ruoan thought for a while and narrowed his eyes, "Look at your expression, don't you know that I still have a younger brother?" β
Didn't Su Cheng claim to check the people around Liu Ruoan, the three generations of his ancestors?
"Yes!" Su Cheng replied succinctly.
"Know?" Liu Ruoan sneered, "Then what do you mean by that surprised look just now?" β
"Isn't your brother supposed to study in Shamon?" Su Cheng didn't raise his eyelids.
When he said this, Liu Ruoan remembered that he didn't have time to ask the reason last time.
"Are we going to stand here all the time talking?" Su Cheng glanced at Huo Xiao.
When Huo Xiao heard this, he immediately opened the door wide and let the three of them enter the house.
Liu Ruoan hooked Zhai Junqi's neck and pulled him aside for harsh interrogation.
Na Yan started talking to the girls they were traveling with.
When Su Cheng saw Qu Ziyan, he was seriously discussing something with a middle-aged man. Seeing Su Cheng coming, he briefly introduced, "This is my cousin - Dongfang Cold!" β
The middle-aged man named Dongfang Coldness is not tall, neither fat nor thin, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a cold and arrogant atmosphere all over his body, barely worthy of the word "Cold".
"A few of you," Qu Ziyan called to the other people, "come here!" β
The men heard the noise.
"Get to know me," Qu Ziyan said to them, "Young Master of Millelith Villa, you know each other!" β
After speaking, he introduced them one by one, "Huo Xiao, my brother who was born and died, the relationship is about the same as that between you and Na Yan."
The two nodded to each other in friendship.
"This is Xu Cong," Qu Ziyan pointed to a tall, thin man, "he is also Han." β
Xu Cong hugged his fists and said, "I have admired the prestige of the young master for a long time!" β
Su Cheng returned the salute modestly, "Don't dare to be!" β
"This is Junluo," Qu Ziyan pointed to a tall and beautiful woman with a ponytail, "Dongfang Junluo, my cousin!" β
The girl turned her head to the side arrogantly, Su Cheng thought to herself, she is worthy of being the daughter of the Oriental Cold, and even the temperament of the whole body follows her father.
"This is Qu Min," Qu Ziyan pointed to a short-haired girl, "my cousin!" β
The girl's eyes were like stars, and she was polite to Su Cheng, "I heard the prestige of the young master early, and I can see it today, I am really fortunate to have three lives!" β
Su Cheng said with a smile, "The woman of the Qu family is really dignified and lovely, reserved and polite!" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Dongfang Junluo.
Dongfang Junluo rolled his eyes at him widely.
"That's Zhai Junqi," Qu Ziyan looked at the corner of the sofa, the sister and brother who were still whispering, "You know! β
"I'm curious, how did he join your team while studying in Shamon?"
"Qu Min was followed when he was doing business in Shamon, and the two sides fought, and Junqi, who was studying in Shamon at that time, came to 'meddle in things', but naturally he was beaten miserably, and then Qu Min brought him back!" Qu Ziyan recalled the past, "I heard that he can heal diseases, and his medical skills are not bad, so I let him stay!" β
Su Cheng pursed his lips, "My brother-in-law will please you!" β
Qu Ziyan smiled awkwardly and said to the others, "You all go back to your room and sleep, it's not early!" I still have something to talk to the young master! β
The other people responded sparsely, and they all went back to their rooms, leaving only Qu Ziyan, Su Cheng, Na Yan, Dongfang Rin, and Liu Ruoan's sister and brother in the room.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Qu Ziyan handed Su Cheng a few pages, "This is the information I personally obtained!" βγ
Su Cheng took it and looked at it, it was written how many people Zhu Chun had, how many people there were in Taixianshe, the time and place when Zhu Xiyue and Li Qingling met, and their plans to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.
Su Cheng took a cursory look at it and returned it to him, "What if the information is wrong?" β
"It's okay!" Qu Ziyan took it, "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" β
"Huangfu Qun and Zhu Chun are not so easy to catch!"
"As long as everyone has a weakness!" Dongfang Rin suddenly interjected, and by the way, he handed Su Cheng a page of paper, which was written about Zhu Chun's industries all over the country in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
"What if you control these?" A smile appeared on the corner of Su Cheng's mouth, "If we spare no effort to hunt him down, it will be too late for him to escape, where can we take care of this?" β
"Young master, it's too much trouble to hunt him down!" Dongfang Rin looked as if he was in control of everything, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to let him fall into the net?" β
"Oh?" Su Cheng was interested, "How to get him to throw himself into the net?" β
Dongfang Rin handed him a photograph of a little boy about three years old.
"This is his life!"
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Su Cheng's mouth, his eyes were full of disdain, and after looking at Dongfang, it turned into appreciation, "Ruthless enough!" β
The little boy is Zhu Chun's youngest son, his son who is over fifty years old, and the son of the ninth generation of his Zhu family.
"Huangfu Qun, what are you going to do?" Su Cheng asked.
Dongfang replied coldly, "Huangfu Qun is an old fox, such a coup d'Γ©tat is a win, but if he loses, it is no different from being beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell!" β
"So what?"
Na Yan turned around and sat down on the table and took over the conversation, "So, it's still a big question whether he will show up, of course, he will definitely send someone from the Taixian Society, but as for whether he himself shows up or not, it's hard to say!" β
"No, I have to show him!" Su Cheng said to Na Yan in a commanding tone, "He and Zhu Chun falsely accused me of killing people and made me carry the black cauldron, Wang Zhan is now chasing and killing me all over the world, making me do something now, super troublesome, too inconvenient!" β
"It's not easy to wash white," Dongfang Rin said lightly, "Why do you have to catch Zhu Chun and Huangfu Qun?" β
"Of course I know that it's easy to wash my name," Su Cheng smiled sinisterly, "But for so long, I have been hiding in Tibet, constantly being harassed by Wang Zhan, I can't bear this black pot in vain, and I can't suffer in vain, you see, I was stabbed a few days ago, I have to get some price back!" β
"What do you want?" Dongfang Rin asked.
"Treat others the way they do!" A trace of viciousness crossed Su Cheng's eyes, "I want to make Huangfu Qun unable to gain a foothold in the Eastern Tang Dynasty!" β
"What do we need to do?"
Su Cheng suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "Catch Zhu Chun first!" β
Na Yan smiled weakly and bitterly, "Can you stop selling Guanzi?" β
"Let's talk about Li Qingling!" Su Cheng's face suddenly became serious, "My account with her is to settle it well!" β
Na Yan and Dongfang Rin both set their eyes on Qu Ziyan.
Qu Ziyan was pondering Su Cheng's words, when he heard that the three of them suddenly stopped talking, and when he looked up, he saw two people staring at him.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Na Yan said, "Li Qingling, you are responsible for investigating!" β
Qu Ziyan sighed and replied: "She wanders in the mixed area of Caojing dragons and snakes, and is in the company of some local miscellaneous hooligans!" I heard that she got along with the head of the hooligan crumbs!! β
"How did she contact Zhu Xiyue?"
"Her good friends raised a group of little beggars, and they all sent the news out to contact Zhu Xiyue through them!"
"What stupid!" Su Cheng laughed wickedly, "But that's fine, in this way, things will be much simpler!" (To be continued.) )
