Seeing that Qiao'er was crying heartbrokenly and her medicine packets were scattered, it must be that her younger brother couldn't hold on.
It looks pitiful.
However, this has nothing to do with Shen Qingyun.
We are not familiar with each other and are not considered friends, so Shen Qingyun will certainly ignore them.
After leaving the city, the road was not easy to walk. The carriage bumped and swayed so much that Shen Qingyun's head felt dizzy.
"Xu..."
Suddenly, Zhong Qi reined in his horse and stopped.
Shen Qingyun stabilized his body and asked doubtfully: "Are you here so soon?"
"Prince." Zhong Qi did not answer, but called Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun stretched out his head and looked around, and saw Su Chengwang playing chess alone in a pavilion by the roadside.
"Depend on..."
Shen Qingyun grinned, knowing that this was coming to find him.
"You take them back to Zhuangzi to settle down first, and I will come back by myself later."
Shen Qingyun got off the carriage and ordered Zhong Qi.
Zhong Qi looked at Shen Qingyun, then at Su Chengwang, nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Qingyun rubbed his stiff cheeks and tried to put on a smile.
"Hey, isn't this the old man? It's such a coincidence that we can meet him here. What a coincidence..."
Shen Qingyun smiled and sat opposite Su Chengwang.
Su Chengwang stopped and said with a smile: "After all, he is the prince of Bomen, how can he act like a hozen?"
Shen Qingyun shrugged and said: "Since you know my identity, you should know what kind of character I am. If I am too polite, won't it insult my reputation?"
"There's no need to live up to the name."
"hehe..."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Shen Qingyun asked cautiously: "Are you waiting for me?"
Su Chengwang nodded slightly and said: "As you said, meeting an opponent in chess is a rare pleasure. Without an opponent, it is really boring."
Shen Qingyun glanced at the chessboard. It was Go. He couldn't help but curled his lips and thought to himself: "I see you're having a good time, aren't you?"
"It's not that I didn't come to see you. It's just that I have something to do these two days and I'm busy." Shen Qingyun cried out in pain and pointed to the injury on his head: "It's not because I was injured that I went to the hospital in the city. Now My head still hurts...I can’t stand it anymore, I feel dizzy, I feel dizzy..."
Seeing Shen Qingyun's poor performance, Su Chengwang shook his head and laughed, "Do you really think I'm blind? Or do you think I'm confused?"
"Uh... How can this be possible?" Shen Qingyun hesitated and sighed: "You should have told me earlier if you saw it."
After straightening his body, Shen Qingyun asked: "Why are you always looking for me?"
Su Chengwang said: "I heard about what happened yesterday, and you handled it well."
"You're so flattering." Shen Qingyun's expression turned bitter. Su Chengwang probably didn't hold it in when he said this.
"I'm complimenting you, why don't you seem happy about it?"
"How can I, I am happy, very happy." Shen Qingyun gave an ugly smile.
Su Chengwang saw this and asked, "When is the wedding date?"
"It hasn't been decided yet." Shen Qingyun shook his head, "Old Zhangtou and the others will figure it out. They have to find an auspicious day... No, why do you ask this, old man?"
Shen Qingyun looked at Su Chengwang.
Su Chengwang chuckled and said: "I heard that you are going to entertain the neighbors. I live nearby and I also want to take part in the celebration."
"Are you coming?" Shen Qingyun was surprised when he heard this.
"What, you're not welcome?" Su Chengwang raised his eyebrows.
"Welcome, of course you are welcome." Shen Qingyun smiled dryly and said: "You are always willing to come, that is Zhang Nan's blessing."
"Since I'm welcome, why don't you send someone to the door to let me know and send you an invitation?"
"Aren't you afraid of disturbing your purity?" Shen Qingyun said with a smile: "As I said just now, the wedding date has not been set yet, so naturally there are no invitations."
"Then now, I will treat you as a formal invitation."
"Of course." Shen Qingyun nodded, "Once the wedding date is set, I will definitely ask Lao Qi to deliver the invitation to you."
Su Chengwang twisted a white stone in his hand, considered it for a moment, and then made his move.
"Is there any difficulty in matters in the house?"
Shen Qingyun was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Now who doesn't know that Uncle Si Nan's bride expelled his first wife's legitimate son from the house? You must have suffered some injustice, right?"
Shen Qingyun smiled when he heard this and said, "Do you think I am the one who is suffering?"
"Oh?" Su Chengwang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then I'd like to listen carefully."
Shen Qingyun glared and said, "Isn't this inappropriate? This is my family matter. Why do you always want to hear about it?"
"So, you really let this news out on purpose?"
"Uh..." Shen Qingyun hesitated, and then said in frustration: "People who are too smart are actually not lovable."
Su Chengwang confirmed his guess and smiled with satisfaction.
Shen Qingyun said helplessly: "You are really free, why are you always staring at me?"
Su Chengwang chuckled, "Aren't I free?"
"You..." Shen Qingyun was speechless and depressed.
I can't say it, but I can't hit someone. I'm really angry.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. What's wrong with you spending some time with me?"
Shen Qingyun said weakly: "It's uncomfortable to have no secrets in front of you."
"Is there really no secret?" Su Chengwang's tone dropped slightly.
Shen Qingyun hurriedly said: "No, really not, you are always looking at fire, and you have everything under control."
"Why does the temperament change so unexpectedly that the two people are completely different?"
Su Chengwang stared at Shen Qingyun with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
"It's not enough to regret the dirty things in the past. It's okay not to mention yesterday's mistakes." Shen Qingyun responded nonchalantly: "After experiencing life and death, I decided to change my past mistakes, can't I?"
"A serious illness three months ago?"
"Yeah." Shen Qingyun nodded and said with a smile: "Walk in front of the gate of hell. Lord Hell said that bastard is going to hell. I'm afraid."
"Nonsense." Su Chengwang laughed and scolded: "You don't have a word of truth in your mouth."
"Don't accuse people unfairly, everything I said is true." Shen Qingyun raised his head and said.
Su Chengwang shook his head, accepting Shen Qingyun's statement.
After all, there is no precedent for similar things.
When Shen Qingyun saw this, he also laughed.
"Speaking of which, I have been calling you old man, but I still don't know your identity." Shen Qingyun asked: "You have inquired about me clearly, but I know nothing about you."
Su Chengwang smiled and said: "I sent people to check you, you can also send people to check me, I didn't stop you."
"This would be boring."
"As long as I find it interesting."
Shen Qingyun curled his lips when he heard this.
"You came here to wait for me all the time. Could it be just to ask me for an invitation?"
"How complicated do you think it can be?"
Shen Qingyun shrugged, "I can guess this and that of you."
Su Chengwang chuckled and said, "Sinan Bo is smooth-tongued and honest. Why did he give birth to such a thing like you?"
"The dragon gave birth to nine sons. The nine sons are different. Even His Majesty's sons, not all of them are wise and mighty."
"You bastard, you dare to say such things." Su Chengwang smiled even more happily, "Aren't you afraid that others will hear you and cause trouble for your father?"
"Then these people really have no courage at all." Shen Qingyun said with a smile: "Besides, you and I are the only two people here. You are highly respected, so you can't care about this joke, right?"
"I'm not so harsh." Su Chengwang shook his head, "It's fine with me. If you talk so openly to others, it's only a matter of time before you cause trouble."
"That's what you taught me." Shen Qingyun respectfully accepted the lesson.
Su Chengwang took out a wooden box and placed it on the chessboard, "You can open the Thousand Machines Square Box in just a cup of tea. You must be proficient in the art of sleight of hand. I have another thing here that I got by chance. Please help me take a look."
"Oh? What is it again?"
Now that Su Chengwang has accepted Shen Qingyun's words about changes in temperament, Shen Qingyun's heart has settled down a little, and he can't help but become somewhat interested in the contents of the box.
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
Shen Qingyun opened the box, and inside was a strange-shaped delicate metal.
"Kong Mingsuo?"
"It's the Tianji Lock." Su Chengwang said: "Like the Thousand Machine Square Box, this object also comes from the Tianji Sect, but the Tianji Sect no longer exists."
Shen Qingyun fiddled with it for a while, and the purchase was very substantial, and asked: "Do you want to open it?"
"Of course." Su Chengwang nodded, "This thing is made of fine gold. It is strong and cannot be broken. The only way is to find the key."
"Since it's a lock, it should also have a 'door'. For such a delicate thing, we don't know what kind of rare treasure is inside the 'door'."
Su Chengwang smiled and said: "The Tianji Lock is only so big. Even if it contains a rare pearl, how much can it be worth? It's just that this thing has been collected by me for a long time. If I hadn't seen you open the Thousand Machine Square Box last time, I might not have Remember it."
"Yes." Shen Qingyun nodded.
The Tianji Lock is only slightly larger than Shen Qingyun's palm, and the space inside is only a millimeter. Even if it is a valuable treasure, it is not that important to the two of them.
Su Chengwang said: "I couldn't untie it anyway, so I gave it to you. If you open it, don't forget to explain the subtleties to me."
"Okay." Shen Qingyun naturally agreed.
Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle. Just do some research and just pass the time.
More than twenty miles north from the official road in Liangzhou City, a group of bandits gathered in the mountains and forests and built a stronghold deep in the mountains, called Heifeng Village.
In the main hall of the camp, the bandit boss squinted at the rogue with a sly look in front of him.
"Are you telling the truth?"
A subordinate on the side said: "Boss, I brought him here. He is a gangster from Liangzhou City named Yang San. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to lie to us."
The boss hummed softly: "We have traveled dozens of miles from Liangzhou City to come here. Could it be that the government's spies want to lure us out of the camp?"
Yang San quickly waved his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything I said is true. The noble man also gave me the money so that I can honor the king..."
As he spoke, Yang San took out a silver ingot from his arms and offered it with both hands.
"That's it?" The boss picked up the silver, sneered disdainfully, and then slapped the rogue in the face.
Yang San was slapped and flew away. The boss ordered his subordinates: "You want me to take action with just such a small amount of money? Either this noble man is stupid, or you are greedy. Search for me!"
Upon hearing this, his subordinates immediately stepped forward to control Yang San, and sure enough they found banknotes from his body.
"Boss." The subordinate handed the banknote to the boss.
"Tsk tsk, five hundred taels is really a generous sum." The boss smiled happily while holding the banknote, and then glanced at Yang San on the ground, "For the sake of your gift of money, I will spare your life. Say it, noble man. What do you want us to do?”
Yang San had no money, and felt like he was in mourning. Hearing this, he only said: "The noble man wants the king to take his brothers to plunder outside the city of Liangzhou. Afterwards, the noble man will be rewarded heavily."
The boss grinned when he heard this and said: "It's really strange. I only heard about people who pay to keep you safe. This is the first time I have encountered someone who paid me to rob someone. You go back and tell the noble man that I will take this job."
