“Oh, what kind of help?”
Su Wu Ming sighed:
“It was only when Yin Shi Lang attacked us that I suddenly realized a truth. It’s best to have some martial arts skills when traveling the world!
And Uncle Qian is old and can’t take the hardship.
I want Zheng Yu Shi to say that he can’t cure Uncle Qian’s injury. I will give him some money to let him return to his hometown and spend his remaining years in peace.”
Zheng Qing was a little puzzled:
“This… Actually, Sima Su can tell him directly!”
Su Wu Ming shook his head:
“Uncle Qian has been with me for many years, and I often refer to him as my foster father.
He even said that even if he died, he would die with me!
If I said these words to him, he wouldn’t agree.”
Zheng Qing understood: “Okay, I’ll help you.”
【Su Wu Ming’s favorability +300, Fame +300.】
When Zheng Qing reported Su Qian’s condition, Su Qian’s eyes filled with tears:
“Master, I’m sorry!
This old servant is incompetent and continues to cause you trouble!”
Zheng Qing said slowly:
“The journey to Nan Zhou is long and arduous, Uncle Qian is probably unable to continue traveling with us!”
Su Qian cried loudly, like a child who had done something wrong, very guilty.
Su Wu Ming also had red eyes.
“It’s good, Uncle Qian. You are old now, it’s time for you to go home and spend your remaining years in peace!”
Zheng Qing said:
“Sima Su, I know there is a station ahead. If you trust me, I can go ahead and entrust Uncle Qian there, and ask someone to send him back to his hometown!”
Su Wu Ming took out some money.
“Then I thank you, Zheng Yu Shi!”
【Su Wu Ming’s favorability +300, Fame +300.】
“Uncle Qian, please stay at home and recover. I will send you some money every month.”
Su Qian bowed:
“Thank you, Master, for your concern.
But you don’t have to think about me all the time. If my injuries are healed, I will come and find you.”
Zheng Qing settled Su Qian, but when he came back, he saw Lu Ling Feng holding a spear and pointing it at Su Wu Ming.
Lao Fei was busy on the side, constantly persuading him.
“Lu Ling Feng, what do you want to do?!”
Zheng Qing was also puzzled, this child, could it be that he was being foolish again?
“What are you doing?” Zheng Qing was helpless.
“I remember!
Last night you persuaded me to keep my life and find the person who framed me to take revenge!
Now the enemy is right in front of me!
Should I still endure it?”
Lao Fei wondered:
“Is there some kind of misunderstanding? How could Su Wu Ming be the one who framed you?”
Zheng Qing also said: “You must have misunderstood something.”
Lu Ling Feng angrily said:
“I was wrongly accused, and he?
From a mere eighth-rank official, he was directly promoted to Sima of Nan Zhou!
How could there be such a thing in this world? The person who framed me, who else could it be but him?!”
Su Wu Ming sighed, shook his head and said:
“No wonder my master, Di Gong, didn’t take you as his disciple!
Lu Ling Feng became even angrier:
“Su Wu Ming! You still dare to humiliate me when death is upon you?!”
Lu Ling Feng raised his spear, ready to strike forward.
Zheng Qing was quick, blocking the spear with his hand, and said calmly:
“Don’t be excited first.
I know you have many doubts in your heart now.
But there are many things in this world that are hard to understand. But as time goes by, the truth will eventually be revealed.
Sima Su, you should be familiar with this statement, right?”
Su Wu Ming nodded: “This is a saying from my master Di Gong.”
Lu Ling Feng didn’t understand:
“What do you mean by saying this now?”
Zheng Qing shook his head:
“There are probably many more truths behind the Chang’an Red Tea Case!
But in such a short period of time, we haven’t figured it out. This is also why I left Chang’an temporarily.
The intrigues in Chang’an are like turbulent clouds and unpredictable waves. We are just small fish caught in the current!
But the struggle for power will eventually reveal some clues!
Now you are accusing Su Wu Ming, but do you think he really got promoted and became rich?”
Lu Ling Feng put away his spear, not convinced:
“Why wouldn’t it count?”
“The Chang’an County Lieutenant, although he is of the eighth rank, is in the important area of the capital!
And he can often see the important figures of the court!
The Sima of Nan Zhou, although he is a Sima, is far away in Nan Zhou. Not to mention that he has to walk to take up his post this time, and it’s by the princess’s order!
Didn’t General Lu hear it last night in the Jin Wu Prison?”
Su Wu Ming also said:
“If you hadn’t killed Yin Shi Lang just now, maybe you could have asked some things immediately. But unfortunately…”
Lu Ling Feng asked:
“What did Yin Shi Lang say to you just now?”
Su Wu Ming recalled Yin Shi Lang’s words, which mentioned the Sage, and knew in his heart that this matter was of great importance. He immediately said:
“The words of a demon are untrustworthy, but they are also not to be ignored!
But you don’t need to know. If you believe that I got this position as Sima of Nan Zhou because I framed you,
You can immediately kill me. Otherwise, you can go to Nan Zhou with me.”
“What do you mean?”
Su Wu Ming smiled and pointed at Lu Ling Feng:
“Otherwise, you can only go back to your hometown with your tail between your legs!
The problem is that you, Lu Ling Feng, come from a prestigious family. If you go back like this, your clan members will laugh at you.”
Lu Ling Feng was furious when he heard this, holding his spear and pointing it at Su Wu Ming:
“Su Wu Ming! You still dare to humiliate me!
Don’t try to sweet talk me. I know you’re just afraid of death!”
Su Wu Ming’s eyes gradually became sharp:
“Whether I’m afraid of death or not is my business. I just think you still don’t know what you’re doing.
You can stab me with your spear, but what then? Not only will there be a thicker fog surrounding you, but many others who don’t know the truth will think.
What kind of conspiracy did you kill me for? If so, you’ll never be able to clear your name in your whole life!”
Lao Fei suddenly came up to Lu Ling Feng:
“Think about it, Sima Su is very reasonable!”
Zheng Qing was helpless, both of them were stubborn.
He took the spear:
“I think this is a good idea. You have excellent martial arts skills, and Sima Su is resourceful. If you two work together, you might achieve unexpected results.”
Lu Ling Feng said coldly:
“I won’t kill Su Wu Ming, but I definitely won’t go with him.”
Zheng Qing was curious:
“Are you really going to wander the world?
Do you think it’s easy to get by in the world?
You need to spend money to eat, spend money to stay in an inn, and spend money to buy winter clothes. Calculate how many days your money can last? When you run out of money, what are you going to do? Rob and steal? You have to make money to support yourself!”
“I, Lu Ling Feng…”
Su Wu Ming stepped forward and said:
“Considering that you were once a Zhong Langjiang of the Jin Wu Guard, if you follow me south, I won’t treat you badly. I’ll let you be my personal military advisor. How about that?”
“Personal military advisor?”
Lu Ling Feng muttered to himself.
Su Wu Ming glanced at Zheng Qing, who nodded slightly to him.
