Chapter 154 Plan
When Qin Huai heard Su Luo's shout, he turned around and nodded at her, but Su Luo was very disappointed. She could see that Qin Huai was just comforting her perfunctorily and did not pay attention to the meaning of her words.
Qin Huai went out, and Liu Suluo sighed. Forget it. In that case, she just needed to act according to the original plan and go to Beijing. She didn't want to stay here any longer.
Li Rusong sent someone to deliver the best wound medicine, but he didn't tell her why he didn't tell her at the military academy. Su Luo hated his mysterious style the most. In the afternoon, Su Jiang came. Su Luo had guessed that she would come, but she didn't expect her to come so late.
"Thanks to you, the clothing store is making a lot of money. It's all thanks to you that you were able to find such a big shot to build momentum for us."
Su Luo said "hmm" and didn't say anything else. She knew that Su Jiang didn't want to talk about this at all, but he had to beat around the bush. It was so annoying, even more annoying than Li Rusong.
Seeing that Su Luo didn't say anything, Su Jiang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Your face..."
"You want to ask what happened last night?" Su Luo curled her lips, "You shouldn't ask me."
"I did hear something from the guy in the store, but..."
"You should ask Li Rusong," Su Luo interrupted her, "He definitely knows more details than I do, and he would be more willing to tell you."
"Sister Luo." Su Jiang stood up. "Lord Li and I are just casual friends. It's not what you think..."
Su Luo's face darkened when he heard this. "It's no fun to continue to perform tricks that have been exposed. When will you two learn to be more honest? I understand that we can't tell others everything in our hearts, but can you please treat me as an ordinary friend who can't tell secrets? Don't act like you have a close relationship with me?" After saying this, Su Luo let out a long breath, "Sorry, I got excited."
Su Jiang was lost in thought for a moment, "Do you...want to say something to me?"
Su Luo met her gaze and said, "Should I ask you what you should say to me?"
Su Jiang was a little hesitant, not sure if what Su Luo said was the same thing she was thinking.
"By the way." Su Luo suddenly smiled, causing her cheek to sting. "I'm going to Beijing. I'll leave Bihen at the clothing store to represent me."
"Going to the capital?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhu... is the emperor. He invited me to go with him. I think with the emperor's relationship, it should be easier to make money in the capital."
In fact, Wanli only revealed his identity last night, and it has not even been a day yet. How could he have had the opportunity to invite Su Luo to travel with him? This was all made up by Su Luo, and he also made up an excuse for himself to leave Luoyang.
"You and the emperor?" Su Jiang was inexplicably worried. "To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. He is still the emperor. Just because he thinks you have novel ideas now doesn't mean he will always tolerate your disrespect for his superiors."
Su Luo raised his eyebrows, stared at Su Jiang silently for a long time, snorted and chuckled, and took the medicine bottle sent by Li Rusong in his hand and played with it, "Wanli's existence is also a surprise to me. I didn't deliberately get close to him. And my business will definitely be booming, he just played a role in icing on the cake... Why don't you ask me what business I am going to do in Beijing?"
Su Jiang frowned when Su Luo directly called out the reign title of Wanli, but she was also curious about what Su Luo wanted to do and why he was so confident.
"Everyone says that it is easiest to make money from women and children. I opened a beauty salon in Nanjing and a clothing store in Luoyang. Both of them were women's businesses. Next, I will do children's business. The capital is full of wealthy families, so there must be many young masters and young ladies. I will definitely make money if I sell toys."
"Toy?"
"Cartoon toy." Su Luo looked excited, "Big blue head, round eyes, red nose..."
Su Jiang had originally frowned at what Su Luo said. What kind of cartoon is this? Isn't this a monster? But after hearing her last sentence, Su Jiang's face turned pale instantly.
"…round hands and feet, with a small pocket on the belly that can take out amazing tools at any time. Don't you think it's fun?"
"you……"
"You don't know about this thing?" Su Luo pretended to be surprised. "Its name is Doraemon, but it's normal that you don't know it, because you are an 'ancient person'!" Su Luo said while tossing the medicine bottle up and down. She thought that her words would make Su Jiang panic, but she didn't wait for Su Jiang's explanation or heartfelt words for a long time. At a glance, Su Jiang was very calm except for her slightly pale face, but she should be organizing her words to get through, at least Su Luo thought so.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
Su Luo was a little disappointed to hear this sentence after waiting for a long time. This disappointment made him lose concentration, and the medicine bottle in his hand slipped through his fingers. After a crisp sound, the medicine bottle and a lump of green ointment merged into one. You are in me and I am in you.
"Ah..." Su Luo sighed symbolically. She always thought that this was not a very precious medicine. Li Rusong just did it for the sake of convenience. This realization made her regret for a long time in the future, because she almost didn't find the second bottle, which led to her changing her name to Scar Su. Of course, Su Luo didn't care now, "If it's not intentional, then you have your own difficulties? You are all capable people, and everyone has their own difficulties, but it has nothing to do with me. As long as you don't forget to give me a share of the clothing store every month, it's fine."
Su Jiang lost the initiative after Su Luo's retort, and felt very depressed when she said the same thing again. "Now that we've talked..."
"Wait." Su Luo waved his hand. "After the trick was exposed, you said it was a magic show revelation? And you still expect that there will be audiences to support you in the future? There is no such good thing."
Su Jiang was not happy about being bombarded by Su Luo today, "What do you want?"
It’s true that Su Jiang looks quite scary when she gets angry. She has a gloomy face and is quite imposing. It can be seen that she is definitely a person with very “righteous” ideas.
Su Luo had originally vented a lot of his anger on Su Jiang, but now that he saw that she was angry, he didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he said with a playful smile: "It's okay, I want to borrow some money from you. You received a lot of orders last night, right? You also received a lot of deposits, right? Give me half of it for my travel expenses to Beijing. I'll count it as a loan, and I'll deduct it from my share later."
Such a smile touched the wound on her face again. Seeing Su Luo covering her face and breathing hard, Su Jiang felt as if her anger had gone into a sponge. She was neither angry nor not angry. But thinking about it, Su Luo did have the right to be angry. After all, she had kept the fact that she and Li Rusong were both time travelers a secret from her. She just didn't know whether she had discovered it herself or Li Rusong had told her.
"What are you thinking? Will you lend it to me or not?" Su Luo was fearless. "No one will bother you if I leave. Besides, it will be convenient for me to maintain a good relationship with Emperor Wanli when I go to Beijing. He still has several decades to stay in power. Isn't our clothing store's business booming?"
What else could Su Jiang say at this point? Su Luo had said all the good and bad things.
"Your medicine is wasted. Go find the doctor and get another dose. Failure to apply the medicine on time will be very detrimental to wound healing."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Su Luo squatted down and looked at the pile of broken porcelain. "This medicine was sent from the military academy. The doctors in the city don't know where Qin Huai is. Please take the trouble to bring me another bottle."
Su Jiang really wanted to meet Li Rusong, so he readily agreed.
Su Luo had to wait until midnight. The city gates were already closed at this time. It seemed that Su Jiang would not be able to come back today. Su Luo could understand. It was already afternoon when she left the city. The military academy was so far away. If she didn't ride a fast horse, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth. However, Su Luo felt a little sour and thought that she had made a mistake. She should have let Su Jiang go tomorrow morning if she knew it would take time. Otherwise, they would be alone all night... Bah, bah, bah, what does it have to do with her!
Qin Huai came back for dinner and then went out again. Su Luo believed that he had a lot of things to do now. However, it was not easy for her to travel through time and space, and it was not easy to make a few friends. She believed that she was sincere to her friends, but in the end, Zhou Chongwen, Feng Yunlang, Qin Huai, and Li Rusong, it seemed that none of them were by her side.
Maybe Su Jiang is right.
Although it was already midnight, Su Luo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She closed her eyes in an upset state and just after a moment's sleep, she heard someone knocking on the door.
It must be Qin Huai who has returned. Su Luo stood up, put on some clothes, lit a candle, and then went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Li Rusong standing at the door. Seeing her open the door, he squeezed into the room without saying anything, and signaled Su Luo to close the door.
Su Luo closed the door in confusion. Before he could say anything, Li Rusong scolded him, "Do you think that Ten-Perfect Strength Pills can be bought anywhere? You just threw it away without saying anything. Do you know what a rare or unique product is ? You are really wasting a gift from heaven!"
Su Luo was scolded before she could come to her senses. How could this be tolerated! She turned around and opened the door. "If you don't want to give it to me, then forget it. Who would beg you for it? Why did you come into my room in the middle of the night? Get out!"
Li Rusong really walked towards the door, but he came to close it. "Keep your voice down. I came in stealthily."
Su Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Qin Huai is not at home."
"I'm not looking for him." Li Rusong walked to the table and sat down. "You are too careless. Do you know that medicine..."
"Alright, alright." Su Luo was a little impatient. "If you don't have it, then don't have it. At worst, you can just change your name in the future, so it will be easier to get involved in the underworld."
"Change what?"
"Scar Sue, is it stylish?"
Li Rusong was speechless. Seeing Su Luo's face wrapped in white cloth, he couldn't bear to criticize him too much. He sat there sulking. Su Luo waited for a long time but he didn't speak. He frowned and said, "You came here just to teach me a lesson? If you have nothing to say, just leave. I still need to sleep."
Li Rusong was anxious, "I came all the way here just because I was worried about you..."
"I'm honored!" Su Luo sat back on the bed. "By the way, how is Yun Lang?"
"Don't worry, he will be fine." Li Rusong raised his eyes and stared at Su Luo, "How much of what we said did you hear?"
Su Luo shrugged, "I've heard almost everything I should have heard, Yun Lang's matter, Qin Huai's matter."
Seeing Su Luo's sarcastic expression, Li Rusong walked to the bed and said, "Believe me, I didn't want to involve you. I just didn't expect Yun Lang's hand to be so gentle that he didn't knock you out."
"Really?" Su Luo laughed exaggeratedly, "I really misunderstood you. It turns out that you didn't intend to involve me at all. You planned to subdue the Wufeng ship owner, make contributions to the court, and stabilize Liaodong before marrying me?"
Li Rusong's face changed, "Qin Huai told you that?"
"Aren't you trying to use this trick to make him believe that you have your own difficulties? Let me distract his attention, and you tell Su Hong that I was the one who came up with the idea of the clothing store. The purpose is to let Su Hong ask me to come to Luoyang, and Qin Huai will also come to Luoyang because he is worried. In this way, you can change their contact method due to temporary changes, and you will have a chance to take advantage of the opportunity, right?"
Seeing Li Rusong's silence, Su Luo smiled sarcastically, "Your original intention was to arrest Zhao He and get evidence that Qin Huai was the ship owner. Who knew that the people from the factory guards interfered, so you changed your mind and let Yun Lang go undercover. You really planned everything, and everything was under your control, but you didn't expect Zhao He to be so tight-lipped. He had been through hardships with Yun Lang for so long but still kept silent, forcing Yun Lang to take the risk without your consent. How did you feel at that moment? Did you feel that Yun Lang betrayed you? Did you feel good about being deceived?"
Li Rusong turned around and walked to the table. "You are right, but I did this for Qin Huai. Don't you agree? Otherwise, you wouldn't have cooperated with me to hide it from him."
Su Luo felt uncomfortable for a moment, "I just told the facts I saw. Yun Lang was indeed injured by your knife." After saying that, Su Luo was surprised and asked, "How do you know what I said to Qin Huai?"
"I told him that I killed Yun Lang. If you contradict what I said, Qin Huai would have already become suspicious. How could he feel comfortable meeting someone from Wufeng Group?"
Su Luo frowned, "You're monitoring him?"
"Do you believe me when I say no?"
Su Luo couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. Even though she said Qin Huai's words were convincing, what was the difference between her and Li Rusong now? She whispered softly, "You said that everything you did was for Qin Huai's safety. I only believe what you said."
Li Rusong said sternly, "I am not the only one in the court who is interested in the Wufeng ship owner. The factory guards arrested Zhao He but did not report it to the court. What do you think they want to do?"
Su Luo thought about it and was shocked. Li Rusong had said this answer before. "Are they going to cooperate with the Wufeng Fleet for smuggling?"
Li Rusong remained silent to show his agreement. Su Luo anxiously said, "Why can't you be honest with Qin Huai? If you talk it out, maybe it won't be a difficult task." Smuggling is a road of no return. If the factory guards get involved, it will be extremely difficult for Qin Huai to escape from the pirate group in this life.
Li Rusong suddenly smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "Can you persuade Qin Huai?"
Su Luo was speechless for a moment. Li Rusong said, "Although Qin Huai is a latecomer, there are many people in Wufeng Group. Who is not his brother in the wind and waves? I don't think I can get all the pirates ashore, so I can only retreat and save one person. If I tell him my plan, can you guarantee that he will not fight me to the end for these pirates? Once he goes to sea, where can I find him? Hardships are hardships. There are hardships that can be expressed, and there are hardships that cannot be expressed even if you die. I know you care about him, but he is my only friend, and I care about him just the same."
Su Luo leaned dejectedly on the bed, muttering, "Wrong logic, all wrong logic." But why was her heart gradually penetrated by this wrong logic? What is right and what is wrong?
"There is something I need your help with." Li Rusong walked to Su Luo's side, his eyes never leaving the white cloth on her face, "Does it still hurt?"
Su Luo turned away and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"yes……"
Just as Li Rusong opened his mouth, there was a knock on the door. The two of them were startled and heard Qin Huai's voice coming from outside, "Luo'er, are you still awake?"
