Chapter 299: Three Years in Hedong, Three Years in Hexi!
Luo Li couldn't help but spit when he heard that Luo Jishi had raped and killed Mu Xianling, massacred Mu's troupe, and wanted to use Mu Xianling's ghost to make medicine or serve as a ghost slave.
"Bah!" Luo Li said with a frosty face, "Luo Jishi is too despicable and shameless! He is simply worse than a beast! Mu Xianling is his cousin!"
Mu Xianling is still her cousin by blood, how can she remain calm?
At this moment, she felt extremely ashamed.
Luo Jishi's various actions far exceeded her bottom line.
This is more than just abandoning his wife and children. This is simply insane and outrageous.
"Brother and I were actually born to this beast!" Luo Li gritted his teeth, "I hate it so much! I'm ashamed to be born to him!"
"Sister Li'er." Su Chuo touched Luo Li's hair with some distress, "You can't choose your parents, you can't choose your origin."
"No matter how heinous Luo An is, it has nothing to do with you or your brother."
"The only thing we can choose is our own path and our own actions."
Luo Li hugged Su Chuo and couldn't help but shed tears, "Sister-in-law, my heart aches when I think of that figure riding a donkey to take the exam!"
"I don't want to believe that the person I have missed for so many years is actually a beast in disguise! He has deceived us for so many years!"
"It would be great if he was really a poor scholar and wanted to die in a foreign land..."
"Li'er." Su Chuo patted Luo Li's young back, "Don't be sad. You still have brother and me."
"You are a beast-controlling spirit, and you are already at the seventh level of perfection. As long as you refine Tang Yue's true life Gu, you will soon be a sixth-level master."
"Brother You is even more amazing in talent and beauty. You brothers and sisters are so outstanding, Luo Jishi will definitely regret abandoning you."
"Actually, it's a good thing that he abandoned you. Otherwise, if he is so vicious, will you recognize him or not?"
Luo Li nodded, "I know. I'm not crying for him, he doesn't deserve it. I'm crying for my brother and myself."
Su Chuo wiped away her tears and looked deeply into Luo Li's clear eyes, "Because of this, you can't imitate him. The more vicious and shameless he is, the more you must have a bottom line."
Luo Li smiled, "Sister-in-law, I know you are afraid that I will become like Luo Jishi. Don't worry, I know it well."
Lu Pianpian secretly said to Su Chuo: "Luo Li may not be as shameless as Luo An in the future, but he will definitely be more ruthless and love killing people than Luo An. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
"Hey, Su Chuo, you want her to be a good girl, but you may have made the wrong calculation. Do you really think that a poisonous seedling can grow non-poisonous fruit?"
Su Chuo secretly said: "What about you? The Lu family is loyal to the imperial court and is willing to be the emperor's eagle and dog throughout his life. You are his daughter, but you are a rebel and want to overthrow the imperial court."
"The vines of loyal ministers can bear melons of rebels, so why can't Luo An's poisonous seedling grow non-poisonous fruits?"
Lu Pianpian was silent.
Su Chuo pulled Luo Li to sit down, "This time I was forced to agree to help the ghost of Mu Xianling because of Lu Pianpian's involvement."
"Li'er, I'm going to the Su family tomorrow morning. Please wait patiently for me here and don't run around. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Jinguan City. You should try to keep a low profile."
Luo Li really wanted to go to Su Mansion with Su Chuo, but she knew that Su Chuo would definitely not agree.
"Sister-in-law, your house was kicked out by the Su family. If you go to the Su family, they will definitely make things difficult for you."
Su Chuo sighed, his beautiful eyes full of bitterness, "I never want to see anyone from the Su family again in my life."
"But if I don't go, I will be violating my blood oath, and the consequences will be unpredictable. It's a matter of life and death, so I can only give it a try."
"Whether I can save the ghost of Mu Xianling or not, I will try my best."
Luo Li said: "What if my sister-in-law doesn't come back within three days?"
Su Chuo thought for a while, "If I don't come back within three days, then I have lost my freedom or something has happened. All you can do is leave immediately!"
"Because if I am detained by the Su family, you will not be able to save me at all. Return to Xifan immediately to find your brother..."
Luo Li's bright eyes dimmed and he could only nod, "Okay."
Su Chuo changed the subject and said, "I forgot to tell you something. I just returned to Qingyun Inn and met your cousin Tang Ke. He also lives here."
"Bullshit cousin!" Luo Li gritted his teeth, "He took a lot of money from me! He blackmailed me several times!"
"Huh, sooner or later, I'm going to make him spit out the money he blackmailed me for!"
"Aunt Xiang said that he is greedy for money and good goods, and he is obsessed with making money. He is also sneaky and mysterious. He must be up to no good when he comes to Jinguan City this time."
Su Chuo thought for a while, "From the look of him, he seemed to be here to meet someone. Someone must have booked a guest room in advance, and he went directly to find it."
Luo Li said: "Who is he in contact with? Does he recognize you?"
Su Chuo shook his head, "No. How can a money-grubbing guy like Tang Ke associate with a good person? The other party is probably not a good person either."
…
Su Chuo and Luo Li were talking about Tang Ke, but they didn't know that Tang Ke was in another Tianzi-sized guest room across the wall.
In the guest room, two young men of about the same age were sitting opposite each other, drinking.
The man on the left is wearing a green silk scarf. He is handsome and elegant, with a pure and elegant temperament, exuding a hint of mellow elixir.
Although he is only an early stage seventh-grade alchemy cultivator, he carries the aura of a superior person and looks a bit noble.
If Luo Ning and Su Chuo were present, they would definitely recognize that this person is... Su Xian!
In less than two years, Su Xian has changed completely.
The man on the right is dressed in Shu embroidered clothes, with a golden crown and jade belt, and looks like a noble prince. Who is he if he is not Tang Ke?
Tang Ke's cultivation was at the seventh level of perfection, but when facing Su Xian, who was in the early stage of the seventh level, his expression showed a hint of respect.
"Brother Su." The dignified son of the Tang family poured wine for Su Xian himself.
"Brother Su, please tell Master Chuang Gong that although the Tang family has officials and nobles, there are still many people who are fighting against Chuang Gong and the rebels."
"The reason why we support the imperial court on the surface is that there is nothing we can do about it. The Tang family's difficulties..."
Although Su Xian was young and his cultivation was not high, he was very knowledgeable and was already one of Li Hongji's confidants. He was highly valued by Li Hongji. Of course, Tang Ke did not dare to trust him.
Su Xian held the cup and nodded: "Brother Tang, don't worry. After all, the Tang family is a subject of the Xia court, how can they betray the court blatantly?"
"As the saying goes, each one is his own master. Your father is loyal to the court. That is also his duty."
"Brother Tang's sincerity is also seen by our army."
"When Chuangong conquers Yizhou, the Tang family will still be the Tang family."
Tang Ke looked relieved and took out a ring, "It's not much this time, only one million taels of gold. I ask Su Xian to accept it on behalf of Mr. Chuang Gong."
Su Xian casually put away the ring and said with a smile:
"Brother Tang is really a good friend of my Chuangjun. Not only did you dedicate your hard-earned private property to Chuanggong, you also tried every means to find resources to send them to Chuangjun. You are so thoughtful."
Tang Ke smiled and said: "My younger brother is also a member of the Breaking Army. Brother Su's words are truly untrue."
Su Xian poured wine for Tang Ke, "Of course he is one of our own. Brother Tang is the son of Xixiang County who was granted the title of Chuang Gong. As long as Chuang Gong conquers Yizhou, you will be the head of the Tang family, inherit the Tang family's business and be granted the title of marquis."
"Mr. Chuang said that although Brother Tang is young, he is a good financial manager. In the future, you may be... the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!"
Tang Ke clasped his fists: "With Brother Su's words, how dare I not die for Chuang Gong? I am a man of low words and is not valued by the family. Apart from some money, I can't do much more."
Su Xian's eyes flashed, "There is something that Brother Tang can actually do."
After saying that, he drank by himself.
"Brother Su is talking about..."Nine Poison Manual"?" Tang Ke's face changed slightly.
"Of course." Su Xian nodded.
"The Tang family has many poison scriptures. Poison skills and poison elixirs are unparalleled in the world, but the most powerful one is the Nine Poison Scriptures. If Chuang Gong obtains the Nine Poison Scriptures, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
Tang Ke sighed and said: "Although the Nine Poisons Manual is a secret book that is not passed down to the Tang family and is the foundation of the family, I am willing to dedicate it to Chuang Gong."
"It's just...it's just that the "Nine Poison Manual" is the best poison sutra in the world, and only a few people in the Tang family can practice it."
"For the disciples who practice the Nine Poisons Manual, the content of each practice is not complete and different."
"This is not only for confidentiality, but also because... this sutra is profound and obscure, and it is difficult for a genius to understand it. It is easier to get results by simply taking different parts according to different qualifications."
"For example, the scriptures I came into contact with are only part of the Poison Pill chapter, and the content only accounts for 10% of the "Nine Poison Scriptures"."
"More disciples are not qualified to practice the Nine Poisons Manual. For example, Tang Yue, who died not long ago, has never seen the Nine Poisons Manual."
Su Xian smiled and slowly drank a glass of wine, "Really? In other words, Brother Tang can't get the complete copy of "The Nine Poisons Manual"?"
Tang Ke trembled, looked at Su Xian blankly, and suddenly understood.
"Brother Su." Tang Ke took a deep breath and said:
"Brother Su is a genius in alchemy cultivation, and he is just suitable for practicing the poisonous elixir chapter of the "Nine Poison Manual". I will give the poisonous elixir chapter that I know to Brother Su."
Su Xian was shocked and said: "How can this happen? Brother Tang has misunderstood. Is Xia'an planning this?"
Tang Ke looked firm, "Brother Su, please don't refuse! How can a Poison Pill Sutra compare to the love between you and me as brothers?"
"If Brother Su doesn't accept it, then Brother Su is out of touch."
Su Xian nodded helplessly and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang. Don't worry, Brother Tang, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
The two looked at each other and smiled happily.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Tang Ke asked: "Brother Su, when will Duke Chuang attack Shu County?"
Su Xiandao: "It will take half a year at the earliest. The training of the new army has not been completed yet. If we attack Shu County at this time, we have little chance of winning."
"Don't underestimate Yizhou Muluo Jishi. This person is not easy to deal with. He must have some trump cards. He has hundreds of thousands of Xia troops and the resources of the Shu Palace. His military and financial resources are still very strong."
Tang Ke seemed to have thought of something, "Brother Su, the Su family can be considered your family. If Chuangong conquers Shu County, how should we treat the Su family?"
Su Xian put down his wine glass and said, "If the Su family stubbornly resisted the rebels and insisted on being buried with the imperial court, then it would be fine."
"When I came to Jinguan City this time, I actually had one more thing to do, which was to go to the Su Mansion. If they are stubborn, don't blame the rebels for being ruthless."
Tang Ke apologized and said with a smile: "The Su family is truly the first family in Yizhou. With a history of more than 5,000 years, how can it be really stubborn?"
Su Xian shook his head, "It's really not necessarily true. There is no immortal country, and there is no undefeated family. It is precisely because the Su family has been glorious for so long that it is easier for them to run out of energy."
He didn't know that his worried sister Su Chuo was in the guest room across the wall, and she was going to the Su Mansion tomorrow!
Separated by a wall, we don't know each other.
Tang Ke also didn't expect that cousin Luo Li, whom he extorted money from, was also in the guest room next door.
‘Sneeze!’ Tang Ke suddenly sneezed.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Who is scolding me?"
………
Early the next morning.
Su Chuo gave Luo Li a few words of advice, then left the Qingyun Inn and headed toward the East City.
She wore a veil, covering up her stunning beauty.
Even so, her graceful appearance still attracted the attention of passers-by on the street.
If she takes off her veil, I don't know how she will attract attention.
Being too beautiful can be considered a problem.
Jinguan City is very big. Su Chuo traveled through dozens of streets and was used to seeing the prosperity of the city, so he came to the even more prosperous East City.
Su Chuo's expression was complicated, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
She is already very familiar with this place.
Most of the nearby streets are owned by the Su family.
When she was the legitimate daughter of the Su family...that's all, what else did she want to do with this?
Ever since her parents took her and her brother out of the Su Mansion and died one after another, and the Su Mansion ignored their brothers and sisters, she no longer had any attachment to the Su family.
But now, she had to come to the Su Mansion to ask for help from her former fourth uncle, Su Yu.
"Lu Pianpian, you are such a pest." Su Chuo couldn't help but sneered, "If you hadn't gone on an adventure to the Mu Family Theater, how could you have been forced by the Mu Xianling to save her? How could I have come to the Su Mansion?"
Lu Pianpian said: "You are still too thin-skinned, that's not good. I tell you, if you are thick-skinned, you can eat enough, but if you are thin-skinned, you can't."
"You are of the Su family after all. What's wrong with coming to the Su Mansion? Is it embarrassing?"
"The worse the Su family treats you, the thicker you have to be to take advantage of them. You can't take advantage of them, so why do you care?"
"You are still not ruthless enough. Let me take control of your body and pretend to be you to deal with your people."
"Really?" Su Chuo's eyes lit up, "Aren't you unreliable?"
She really doesn't want to face her former clan members. In Lu Pianpian's words, her face is not thick enough and her heart is not cruel enough.
More than enough elegance, not enough slickness. This is a taboo when asking for help.
"Hee!" Lu Pianpian exclaimed, "Isn't my sister reliable? Let me tell you, my job is to catch birds in a cage and catch snails with three fingers!"
"You just need to secretly introduce your tribe and past events to me, and I will adapt accordingly."
Su Chuo thought for a while, "Okay! I'll leave it to you then. Don't mess up. The Su family is from a high-ranking family, and the consequences of being exposed will be serious."
Since Lu Pianpian is so positive, she just avoids embarrassment.
"Don't worry! It's up to my sister!" Lu Pianpian was very confident.
So, Lu Pianpian appeared again.
Lu Pianpian changed from Su Chuo's elegant and calm lotus steps, striding like a meteor, and walked towards the majestic and spectacular Su Mansion full of swagger.
The Su Mansion is very grand, and the square at the entrance is bustling with traffic and well-dressed noble guests.
Seeing an elegant and graceful woman wearing a veil walking towards the door with a dignified manner, many people cast curious glances.
Who is this? It looks like a woman from the Su family? She doesn’t look like a guest.
"Open the door!" Lu Pianpian's heavenly voice sounded, "I'm Su Chuo, I'm back."
"Su Chuo?" The Su clan member guarding the door was stunned, and then realized that this woman was indeed the blood aura of the Su clan.
Suddenly, he remembered.
Su Chuo, isn't she the direct daughter of the fifth family?
The former talented girl of the Su family was well-read at just a few years old.
However, the direct descendants of the five-bedroom family of four had already been dismissed from the clan.
PS: What will happen next? Let’s take a guess, haha. Good night, Crab! I’m so tired today.
