Chapter 41: Meet the Strange Old Man Again

"Within five days!"

"Oh! So, where do we go next? ”

"Go find the Third Prince!" Su Suxuan sealed the cap of the small medicine bottle and put it in his arms.

"The Third Prince? But isn't he under house arrest now? Wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to go to him now? ”

"Of course I didn't go straight to it." Su Suxuan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Do you want to send someone to find it?"

Su Suxuan shook his head and smiled lightly, as if he was laughing at himself, "If only I had that power!" ”

Thinking about it, he is no longer from the Su Mansion, even if it is, the person who now controls the military power of the Su family is his father, and the other person who can mobilize the Su family as a soldier is only his cousin Su Suxun.

"Are you trying to get us in disguise?"

"Clever, got it right. Now we need to go back to the capital, and the only person who can save him now is you! ”

"Me?" Canglan pointed to herself, and then understood that the third prince was placed under house arrest because of her, and everyone misunderstood her relationship with the third prince.

"Well, yes, now some ministers in the court who are biased towards the eldest prince have begun to launch an offensive against the third prince, a year ago, the case of your Baifu people has not been found out, and now they are trying to find a way to point all the evidence to the third prince, you are the only one who can prove it."

"But my face is no longer the same face it used to be..."When Canglan said this, he couldn't bear to say any more.

"But your memories, everything you had in the past are really yours. It doesn't change because of a face, so you don't have to worry. ”

"Hmm!" Canglan nodded.

"So now, we have to go to the third prince to see if we can tell if this waist card is unique to his subordinates."

"But... What if it was really the Third Prince? Canglan knew that it didn't seem appropriate to ask like this, because he also knew now that Su Suxuan was towards the third prince.

"Don't worry, I will stand in a fair and objective position, if you are worried that it is what you think, then I will first ask for a waist card from him, and find a professional wood connoisseur to see what is the difference between these two waist cards?"

Canglan thought that this would be too troublesome, but Su Suxuan explained it very seriously.

"It's... I'm sorry... Hurt you and you..."Before Canglan could finish speaking, Su Suxuan interrupted him.

"You're not sorry, it's me, and I should make it up to you."

"Why?"

"Anyway... I did something sorry for you when you were a child, you can't remember it now, and later... Maybe it will come to mind. Su Suxuan's gaze fell on his black boots. When he said this, his voice was very low, and when he finished speaking, he smiled, this smile has nothing to do with the wind and the moon, as if the people who have experienced the vicissitudes of the world are laughing at their past youth and frivolity.

After Su Suxuan finished speaking, Canglan was even more confused, but it seemed to be a sad thing, Canglan couldn't remember who offended her when she was a child, or did something sorry for her, but between Su Suxuan's self-deprecating expression, Canglan couldn't say more.

What is there to be sorry for, to be worthy of him to repay her like this.

For a long time, they didn't speak, and the sky was getting later and later, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, Canglan thought that Su Suxuan was still injured, so he glanced sideways at Su Suxuan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating. "No! You have to find a place to settle down. Canglan thought in his heart.

As he looked up, he saw a small patch of orange fire in the forest in the distance, half-hidden and half-visible in the woods like a small dot.

"Su Suxuan?" Canglan was afraid that Su Suxuan would be noisy and called softly.

"Huh?" Su Suxuan opened his eyes quickly, and he didn't see the slightest residual sleepiness, and he didn't seem to be sleeping.

"There's a fire in front of us, it seems like there's a family, should we go and borrow it for the night?"

"Okay, let's go!" I didn't expect Su Suxuan to agree so simply.

Slowly moving in the direction of that little bit of Mars, Canglan realized that it was not a family, but... She almost gasped, she didn't know what was going on, it wasn't a family or an ordinary house, it was almost the same building as the inn they had come to meet, and when they walked less than ten meters, they found that the two inns were exactly the same, or they were the same at all, just the location of the move...

"This inn..."Canglan's pupils shrank instantly, and he unconsciously took a step forward, and at the same time raised his hand to hold Su Suxuan's wrist, as if he wanted to protect Su Suxuan.

"There's a problem!" Su Suxuan also discovered this strange phenomenon, his eyes became sharp, he took a step forward, and held Canglan's arm with his backhand, the long sword had instantly blocked the two of them, and the shield was firmly held in his hand.

There was a slight pause in footsteps, but the sound source body that made this sound didn't seem to want to hide the sound, Su Suxuan suddenly turned behind him, and Canglan also turned sideways and turned his head.

It turned out to be the old man who had a scar on his face before, he slowly walked behind them with a lantern, and when he got closer, Canglan found that he was still with that stiff expression, and the scar on his face was a little terrifying and hideous under the red light of the lantern.

The old man saw Su Suxuan's wary expression, but he was not afraid at all, and walked calmly towards his inn by bypassing Su Suxuan, and at the same time said without hurry: "Since they are all here, it doesn't hurt to stay one more night." ”

It wasn't until the old man walked into the house that Su Suxuan and Canglan stood side by side outside the door.

"Who the hell are you?" Su Suxuan saw that the old man did not have any killing intent, but his heart of defense was indispensable, not to mention that he was a stranger, his long sword was still vigilantly held in his hand, unwilling to relax in the slightest, and protected Canglan tightly behind him.

"Then I want to ask what is the wound on this girl's face?" The old man pushed open the door, and the lantern in his hand illuminated the dark room, the table and bench walls in the room were still in their original positions, the hats hanging on the walls, and some kitchen utensils in the corners were all outlined by the red light of the lanterns, and floated faintly in the darkness.

Canglan thought that the wound on her face was just a burn? What's the problem? Besides, the wounds on her face are still covered by a black silk scarf, although they have been in a away battle once, this old man should have known about the wounds on her face long ago, but what does this have to do with this old man?

"Luo Tie is just burned." Su Suxuan seems to want to avoid this topic!

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The old man turned his head and glanced at Su Suxuan, his eyes were sharp, and then he continued to turn around and began to put the lantern on the counter, and then took out a matchbox from the counter without hurry, and then took out a match, slid the match on the matchbox, and the firelight instantly illuminated the room a little, and used that little fire to light up an oil lamp on the counter.

Su Suxuan saw that this old man always hit the nail on the head when he spoke, and glanced at Canglan with concern, after all, now was not the time to tell Canglan that she had been poisoned, and she didn't plan to tell her about it.

Canglan didn't notice Su Suxuan's expression of wanting to avoid talking, and asked, "This old uncle, what do you mean by saying that my wound is probably not simple?" ”

Before Canglan finished asking, Su Suxuan pulled her and wanted to go out of the house: "It's nothing, Canglan, let's find another place, this person is not quite right!" ”

"Alas, what..." Canglan didn't understand what was going on, she was pulled out the door by Su Suxuan, no matter how stupid she was, she could sense that Su Xuan was hiding something, while being pulled out, she looked back at the old man, the scar-faced old man was still that cold and serious look without half a smile, Su Suxuan also had an extremely patient expression on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything more, after all, he had a wound on his body, and it would not be good if he was angry and opened the wound.

"It's a body-devouring poison!" When the old man saw that Su Suxuan was about to leave with the girl with poison on her face, there was a kind of "You will definitely come back!" The calm certainty.

"I'll find a way to cure her!"

When he heard this, Su Suxuan stopped, and the Canglan who was in the dark was simply stunned.

"I have a way to cure her, too!" The old man said confidently.

"You know? How can it be?! There is no antidote in "Three Thousand Poisons". "Actually, there is an antidote, but this antidote can only be solved by those who practice evil arts, and it will turn Canglan into a "corpse".

"If you believe, you will not believe! And it's a better way to do it than a corpse curse. ”

Su Suxuan still didn't believe it.

The old man smiled faintly, "Don't worry!" There are no other homes or inns within a radius of ten miles around here! ”

Su Suxuan didn't say a word, Canglan raised his head to look at Su Suxuan, although he couldn't hear what was going on, but he also heard a rough idea, "What body-devouring poison?" Am I poisoned? ”

"No, you're not poisoned." Su Suxuan was extremely quick to deny it.

"You can't hide it for a while, if she doesn't need an antidote, you know the result."

"What's wrong? What the hell am I..."Canglan raised her hand, but she seemed to be at a loss, she wanted to ask the old man, and she wanted to ask Su Suxuan, and wanted to ask them what was wrong with herself? But I found that I couldn't interject at all.

"Who the hell are you?"

"An ugly, withdrawn old man!" As soon as these words came out, neither Canglan nor Su Suxuan expected that this old man would say this, after all, they can understand that they are old and ugly, if the old man really talks about his ugliness and loneliness, Canglan really doesn't know what to respond to, after all, this "old and withdrawn old man" has always been in the impression that he will not take the initiative to say half a word, but today he said so much.

“……”

"Let's go, change places!"

"Huh?" Canglan was dragged away like this, and felt a little pity, and finally found a place to live, although there was something suspicious, and the old man didn't seem very kind, but he didn't want to kill them, but wanted to tell her something.

The old man also stopped talking, and when Canglan and Su Suxuan left, her intuition told her that the old man must be "watching" them behind their backs.

"Although the inn is a little weird, it's not good to sleep in the open after all..."
