Chapter 157 Leaving Luoyang
When Su Luo woke up, the room was full of people.
Led by Su Hong, Su Jiang and Bi Hen all crowded in front of the bed. The housekeeper and maid of the villa stood on tiptoe to watch from behind. A middle-aged man sat on a stool beside the bed, holding Su Luo's wrist with one hand and twirling his beard with the other, acting like a miracle doctor.
"Wake up, wake up!" Su Hong grabbed the old man by the collar and threw him behind her. She sat down beside the bed and asked with concern, "Sister Luo, how do you feel?"
Su Luo moved her neck, and there was still some dull pain in the back of her head. It seemed that Qin Huai had learned the lesson from Yun Lang and would not show mercy.
Oh, right... Su Luo suddenly sat up and grabbed Su Hong, "Where's Qin Huai?"
Su Hong held her body and let her lie down, "Take care of yourself, Master Li has gone to look for him."
Upon hearing this, Su Luo quickly searched among the crowd, "Is he here too?"
Su Hong nodded and said, "Bihen woke up and asked to see you, so I accompanied her back. But I saw you sleeping in the bed and couldn't wake you up, so I notified Sister Jiang, and Sister Jiang sent someone to notify Lord Li."
Su Luo looked at Su Jiang, who nodded and lowered his eyes, "If something happened to you, he should know."
Su Luo couldn't explain her thoughts now. Did Qin Huai leave? Did he go to the sea? Li Rusong...should he stop Qin Huai? Would he be in a hurry? If Qin Huai would rather die than turn back, would they fight? These two people...
"Sister Luo, what's wrong with you?" Su Hong lowered her head to look into Su Luo's eyes, "Why are your eyes red?"
"I..." Su Luo was feeling extremely anxious. His knuckles turned white as he grabbed the quilt, but his mind was still in a mess and he couldn't make any sense.
"Where did Li Rusong go?" Su Luo's eyes swept across everyone's faces and stopped at Su Jiang's face, "Take me to find him."
Su Jiang's eyes flashed with bitterness, "He's been out for the whole day, where can I find him?"
Su Luo jumped out of bed immediately, "A whole day? How long have I been unconscious?"
Su Hong stood up and said, "From yesterday noon till now."
Su Luo turned his head to look out the window. Su Jiang said, "It's just past midnight. You've been unconscious for a day and two nights."
It's been so long! Su Luo sat down on the bed dejectedly. Li Rusong's spies were all over the city, and they had been staring at Qin Huai. After such a long time, Qin Huai might have been caught by Li Rusong and turned against him, or... Su Luo didn't dare to think about it. She got up and rushed out of the room, ran to Qin Huai's room, and opened the drawer under the mirror.
No, not only the Wufeng ship owner's order, but also the Xuanfu general's order is gone. By the way, if there is Li Rusong's token, maybe Qin Huai can leave Luoyang City safely, but where will he go then? Is he really going back to the sea? And Yun Lang, Yun Lang will take the initiative to contact people from Wufeng Group after leaving, but will Qin Huai believe Yun Lang?
The more she thought about it, the more troubled she became. Su Luo's head started to hurt again. Su Hong and the others followed Su Luo and saw her staring blankly in front of the mirror. They looked at each other and couldn't help but feel very worried.
Bi Hen stepped forward to support Su Luo, "Miss, you should go back and rest."
Su Luo shook his head, turned around and said to Su Jiang: "Can you find the people around Li Rusong?"
Su Jiang frowned slightly, realizing that things might not be as simple as she thought. She lowered her head and thought for a while, "If I need to find him, I can go to the military academy or a place . The owner there will pass on the message for me."
Yunsheng Teahouse! Su Luo separated herself from the others and ran out quickly. She knew this teahouse, which was not too far from the villa. It was small, but had many customers. She always had to pass by it when she returned to the villa.
Su Luo ran all the way out of the door, leaving Su Hong and the others at a loss, so they had no choice but to follow him.
Su Luo ran out of the door, running like crazy. She found that if she tired herself a little, her brain would think less because of insufficient blood supply. She wanted to find Li Rusong as soon as possible. She didn't even know what to ask him after finding him, she just wanted to find him.
Perhaps no matter whether Li Rusong catches Qin Huai or not, Su Luo is destined to not let go.
Facts proved that Su Luo was only suitable to be a sprinter. Her instantaneous explosive power made her so tired that she could only gasp for breath after running less than 200 meters. She also had some signs of getting a stitch in the side. However, she did not give up. With amazing perseverance... she took a step back.
She didn't mean to do it, but she was startled by a row of dark shadows that suddenly appeared on the street. There were about seven or eight of them, and they were approaching her quickly.
In almost just a moment, the team had arrived ten meters away from Su Luo. With the dim moonlight, Su Luo took two steps forward and saw clearly who was coming. It was Li Rusong, with several guards.
Su Luo rushed over immediately, "Did you... did you find Qin Huai?"
The dim night made it difficult to see Li Rusong's expression clearly. He did not answer the question, but looked at Su Luo with disheveled hair, and his eyes continued to move downwards...
"You don't even wear shoes." The low voice was not as loud and clear as before. It sounded like a blame, but also revealed a bit of pity.
Before Su Luo could ask the second question, she felt her body lighten and was held horizontally in Li Rusong's arms. Su Luo was really startled by the sudden appearance of a chest in front of her. She pushed Li Rusong hard and said angrily: "Let me go, what are you doing!"
Li Rusong remained the same, holding Su Luo and walking towards the other courtyard. Su Luo failed to protest but did not dwell on it. He just asked anxiously, "Qin Huai..."
Li Rusong stopped and looked down at Su Luo in his arms. He felt his hair run down his spine.
"You...you found him?" Su Luo heard his voice trembling.
Li Rusong continued to move forward and was silent for a long time before answering, "No."
Su Luo didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart seemed to be hanging even higher. After such a long time, he still couldn't catch up with Qin Huai. There was a high probability that he had already left Luoyang City.
"Nanjing..." Su Luo suddenly thought of Qin Huai's family. She said two words and immediately stopped talking. She bit her lower lip and looked at Li Rusong, secretly hating herself for speaking too quickly.
Li Rusong kept walking and looked ahead, "Any place you can think of..."
According to his usual style, he would have laughed at Su Luo's late realization, but today he stopped talking halfway. They looked at each other, Su Luo pursed her lips tightly, turned her head away, and buried her face in Li Rusong's chest. Thinking that she was still holding Qin Huai like this yesterday, and now Qin Huai is missing, and even her family members will be implicated, the sadness in her heart surged up.
Li Rusong tightened his grip, "Are you feeling better?"
Su Luo said nothing, not even a reaction. Li Rusong breathed a sigh of relief silently, "Don't worry, since he dared to leave, how could he leave his family behind to be bullied by others?"
Su Luo never raised her head. Li Rusong pursed his lips helplessly, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. He retracted his arms and hugged Su Luo tighter, considering whether to say something comforting. Just as he was racking his brains to think of words of comfort, Su Luo's shoulders twitched, but he quickly held back. Li Rusong could feel Su Luo's body trembling slightly. A pair of small hands grabbed the clothes on his chest, tightening it more and more, and it seemed that a warmth was transmitted to his chest through the clothes...
Li Rusong was completely stunned. Su Luo rubbed her eyes and spoke vaguely, "I feel very uncomfortable and don't know what to do. It must be because I did something that made him suspicious that he left in a hurry. If he had more time, he might tell you everything."
"No……"
Li Rusong had just said one word when Su Hong and the others came after Su Luo. Seeing Su Luo being held by Li Rusong, Su Hong rushed over immediately, "You boy... put Sister Luo down!"
Li Rusong and Su Luo didn't react in time. Su Hong had already snatched Su Luo from Li Rusong's arms and shouted at him angrily: "What do you mean by 'don't touch without proper courtesy'? What do you mean by 'don't touch anything'? You are a general, but you behaved inappropriately towards my sister in public. What is your intention?"
Everyone was just surprised at first, but now that Su Hong had interrupted them, they were inevitably a little embarrassed. Especially the guards following Li Rusong, they did see Su Luo struggling when Li Rusong picked her up, which meant that the one who was in the wrong seemed to be the general they admired.
Su Luo was in no mood to care about this now. He tugged at Su Hong's sleeve with a headache and said, "He saw that I was not wearing shoes..."
Su Hong then realized that Su Luo was only wearing a pair of socks, and quickly supported her, turned back and glared at Li Rusong, saying: "That can't let him get away with it, come, I'll carry you back."
Su Luo's mood suddenly became less depressed. Looking at Su Hong's indignant look, she chuckled and said, "It's not far. We can just walk back."
Su Hong insisted, and the two of them argued for a long time about whether to carry him or not. Su Jiang walked to Li Rusong, looking confused, "What happened?"
Li Rusong looked at her, "Something that needs to be kept secret."
Su Jiang was stunned. Li Rusong had already walked towards Su Hong and Su Luo. He picked up Su Luo again without saying anything and said, "If we continue talking, it will be dawn."
Su Luo lost her balance and hurriedly grabbed Li Rusong's neck. Su Hong was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Put her down quickly, you you you..."
Li Rusong turned a deaf ear to it, carried Su Luo all the way back to the villa, settled her down, and bolted the door before anyone else, leaving Su Hong standing in front of Su Luo's door, clamoring.
Su Luo found his behavior a little strange, but her worry about Qin Huai made her lose interest in everything. She looked at Li Rusong but did not ask any questions.
Li Rusong picked up the medicine bottle on the table and sat next to Su Luo. He untied the cloth strips on Su Luo's face. The long and narrow scar made him narrow his eyes slightly, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes. "I will try my best to find another good medicine. Don't worry, it won't leave a scar."
"Just stay, I don't care." Su Luo replied in a low voice. Feeling Li Rusong's gentle movements when applying the medicine, and thinking of Qin Huai, he felt even more depressed.
"Let's go to the capital according to the original plan." Li Rusong changed Su Luo's medicine and said softly.
Su Luo looked up and stared at him, "Why let me go?"
"It's not what you think. I 'm not afraid that you will stop me from looking for him." Li Rusong faced Su Luo calmly, "The people in the factory guards don't know his identity, so they didn't monitor him, but they monitored you. If they find out that you and I are looking for the same person at the same time, they will inevitably become suspicious. If you leave, you can divert their attention. I will also escort the emperor back to Beijing first, and then go to Nanjing."
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief and curled the corners of his mouth, "This is the first time you told me the reason why you did something."
Li Rusong just smiled bitterly at Su Luo's evaluation, which was not sure whether it was praise or criticism. "Don't worry, even if I find Qin Huai, even if he dies in exchange for his life, I can't do it."
Su Luo was surprised. This was the first time Li Rusong said such a thing.
"Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, pretend nothing happened. Go to the capital happily and continue to move towards your goal of becoming the richest man."
Su Luo couldn't help but smile, but still a little worried, "Promise me..."
"I promise you." Before Su Luo could finish, Li Rusong spoke with a firm look on his face, "Believe me."
With Li Rusong's promise, although Su Luo was still nervous, a heavy stone in her chest finally fell slowly. She believed in Li Rusong and believed in the brotherhood between Li Rusong and Qin Huai. These two people would rather die than hurt each other in the slightest.
Three days later, the emperor set out for Beijing. Li Rusong led the iron guards to protect him, and Su Luo accompanied him.
