175. Kiss(1/3)
Two men were walking in the night, passing by the river that they encountered in the evening, Zhu Jinnian passed by and washed away the blood on his face.
He told Su Mo about Wan'an City recently because he suspected that Su Mo was not at home some time ago.
Su Mo listened quietly and said nothing.
The people of Nanzhao arrested Zhu Jinnian, naturally in order to exchange Su Zhi, and only the Miao family could do such a thing.
On the night when Zhu Jinnian disappeared, Jun Zhaolin would definitely send someone to Nanfeng City to rescue Zhu Jinnian at the latest the next day. Although this would cause Dongming to lose an important hostage, Jun Zhaolin would not be stunned and abandon Zhu Wei's only grandson, which would make the ministers and the people feel disappointed.
It shouldn't be Yuan Qiu, because Rong Lan is at home and will not let Yuan Qiu go out for adventure.
Zhu Wei is old and has not healed his injuries. Zhu Han is more brave, but his wisdom is not enough, and his only son is easy to be impulsive, and he will not be him.
After thinking about it, Su Mo thought that the person sent by Jun Zhaolin was Rong Lan.
Su Mo understands Rong Lan's strength and estimates that he will be able to meet her within a day or two. At least one of his subordinates, Afu, Zhou, or Qingfeng, will follow Rong Lan, which is convenient for Su Mo to send a message. It is best not to miss it, because there is no need to go to Nanfeng City again.
Zhu Jinnian followed Su Mo in the wilderness all night, and entered a city in the early morning. He felt tired and hungry, and his legs were filled with lead, but seeing that Su Mo still looked like a fairy-like beauty, he could only sigh in his heart that people are so angry that people are so angry. Su Mo is right, if he has unreasonable thoughts about Yuan Qiu, he would be overestimated.
Before entering the city, Su Mo and the passing vendor bought two hats to cover up their appearance, and then took Zhu Jinnian to an inn and ordered the waiter to bring water to wash Zhu Jinnian. He left and returned soon, and even bought a piece of clothing for Zhu Jinnian because his body was stained with blood.
"Aren't we in a hurry to rush?" Zhu Jinnian was puzzled. Seeing that Su Mo was not just about to rest, he felt that Su Mo didn't like him, but he was not bad for him. The details showed his character. Although Su Mo was not easy to get along with, he was a good person.
"Eat first." Su Mo put down the food box he brought back and brought out the food to put it in.
Zhu Jinnian has already seen Su Mo's words as precious as gold. Unless Su Mo wants to show his love, he will basically not take the initiative to say anything to him...
So Zhu Jinnian ate silently, drank a bowl of hot porridge, and felt her stomach warm.
Su Mo put down his chopsticks and walked out again. Zhu Jinnian called him, "Where are you going? When will we set out again?"
"You can sleep here." After saying that, Su Mo had already left the door.
Zhu Jinnian:...Su Mo shouldn't have to throw him down, right?
There was no way, Zhu Jinnian didn't dare to go out and ran around. He was really exhausted. After eating, he really went to bed and went to bed and went to bed. I thought Su Mo would definitely come back, so let's talk about it then.
When Zhu Jinnian woke up, the sun was about to set.
The light in the room was dim, and he saw Su Mo sitting by the window and looking down.
Zhu Jinnian stood up and rubbed his forehead, "Brother Su, should we set off?"
"Wait." Su Mo said two words.
Zhu Jinnian found that there was dinner on the table, but it was still warm, so she went over to eat on her own. There is no need to be polite at this time, the important thing is not to drag your back and cause trouble.
It was completely dark, and Zhu Jinnian was a little anxious. I wonder what Su Mo was waiting for? Could someone come to save him in Wan'an City? But how did Su Mo expect that the person who came here would pass by?
When Rong Lan and Old Man Zhou passed by, it was already dark.
Because they needed to replenish water and dry food along the way, they would definitely come in when they met the city. As soon as Old Man Zhou entered the city, he found the mark left by Su Mo.
"What?" Rong Lan was surprised to hear Old Man Zhou say that Su Mo is here, "Are you sure?"
Old man Zhou nodded, "Confirm."
"It seems he's fine, take me over!" Rong Lan looked happy.
Old man Zhou followed the mark left by Su Mo and just approached the inn. Su Mo flew down from the window, with a graceful figure in front of Rong Lan, and shouted, "Mom."
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and it was quiet.
The cloak was pressed down very low. Su Mo looked up and Rong Lan saw his face and looked up and down, "Are you okay? Is the poison cured?"
Su Mo smiled and nodded, "Well, the poison has been relieved."
"That's good." Rong Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Why don't you go home? Stop here and leave a mark... Have you met Zhu Jinnian on the way?"
Rong Lan was just feeling strange that Su Mo was free after detoxifying and should have gone home as soon as possible, but she was waiting in the city and left a mark, as if she was expected to come.
Because he didn't know where Su Mo was, no one would take the initiative to send a message to him in the near future, nor would he stop halfway without reason, leaving a mark waiting for his subordinates to come over. If there were his subordinates in this city, he should have just searched him.
Unless Su Mo meets Zhu Jinnian and guesses that Rong Lan will pass by, he will wait here to avoid missing out.
Su Mo nodded, affirmed Rong Lan's guess, and pointed at it.
Rong Lan smiled, "That's great." If Zhu Jinnian could be rescued without going to Nanfeng City, it would naturally be the best result. Because Rong Lan knew very well that Jun Zhaolin did not want to start a war with Nanzhao at this time, as it would damage the troops of the Dongming and give Western Liao an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Zhu Jinnian was having dinner, but he didn't pay attention. When he looked up, he found that Su Mo was missing by the window. He put down his chopsticks and ran down, and there was no one on the street.
"Why is it so elusive..." Zhu Jinnian couldn't help but complain.
The next moment, the door opened, and Zhu Jinnian saw Su Mo coming back, and there was a person following him. He looked surprised, "Duke Rong? Why are you..."
"I came to save you by the emperor's order." Rong Lan felt relieved when she saw Zhu Jinnian was fine.
Zhu Jinnian was a little embarrassed, "It was all my fault that I have caused you trouble."
"It's not your fault this time. The other party is prepared. No matter how careful you are, it's useless." Rong Lan shook her head slightly.
Zhu Jinnian nodded, "Well, thank you Duke Rong."
"Your family is very worried about your safety, so let's go back early." Rong Lan said.
"Okay!" Zhu Jinnian nodded immediately. He didn't know why Su Mo guessed that Rong Lan would come, and he didn't miss it. Anyway, since he met Yuan Qiu and Su Mo, Zhu Jinnian often felt that he was really weak and stupid...
Su Mo insisted on letting Rong Lan rest in the inn for a while. He went out and came back soon, bringing warm meals.
"Mom eat something first, and then leave after eating." Su Mo said.
Rong Lan did not wiping Su Mo's kindness. She wanted to call Old Man Zhou, but Old Man Zhou did not show up again. He was used to acting in the dark. Su Zhi, who was knocked out, seemed to be on his back and never put it down.
He rushed back that night. Considering that Zhu Jin was not good at his youth, Su Mo found three horses and ignored Old Man Zhou.
Zhu Jinnian was one step behind, and Su Mo and Rong Lan walked side by side.
Rong Lan asked about the detoxification process, and Su Mo said truthfully.
"I heard from A Fu that Mrs. Xin's master had conditions for saving people. What conditions did he give you?" Rong Lan asked. Things went smoother than expected. She thought Su Mo would have to come back in a few days.
"He said he asked me to exchange the most precious things or people for exchange." Sumo said.
Rong Lan frowned, "What conditions did you agree to in the end?" She knew that the most important thing for Su Mo was Yuan Qiu, but Su Mo would definitely not exchange Yuan Qiu.
"That weird old man asked me not to see Qiu'er for the rest of my life. Later, he changed his words for ten years, and finally bargained, and it turned out that I could not meet Qiu'er for a year. I had no choice but to agree." Su Mo sighed slightly.
"Did he say why he should put such conditions?" Rong Lan felt confused.
Su Mo shook his head slightly, "He didn't explain, but I think he may not believe in love between men and women, and he feels that he can't stand the test. Perhaps he was injured when he was young, so now whenever he has the chance, he can break up one pair."
Rong Lan's mouth twitched slightly, "This condition...is good, compared to your life, it's nothing."
"I expected that he would let me go so easily, mainly because of Mrs. Xin's face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to ask him for help, and there would be no room for bargaining with him." Su Mo said.
"No matter what, this result is a blessing. If you were waiting for the antidote at home before, it would be too late." Rong Lan sighed lightly. The antidote is still missing five medicinal herbs, two of which are the main medicines. If Su Mo's body at that time did not detoxify as soon as possible, he would not be able to hold on to it now.
The old man mentioned the condition was a bit strange, but he neither asked Su Mo to do anything that was harmful to the world nor restrict his freedom. It was much better than expected.
Su Mo is actually very depressed. He can't meet and can't do many things. He can't hold his hands and hold them in a hug. He has to wait at least a year to be a husband and wife.
Rong Lan seemed to see Su Mo’s thoughts and comforted him, “Qiu'er is very busy now. If you are not here, she will not pay attention to others.”
Su Mo has heard Zhu Jinnian say that during his absence, he did not delay Yuan Qiu's career at all. He is still planning to build a hospital and is very busy every day.
Su Mo thinks that the little girl he likes is really beautiful, kind-hearted, strong and powerful, and extremely outstanding.
As for Mu Zhenxuan being kicked, Su Mo was too lazy to comment. He never liked that father-in-law. Now Rong Lan is beautiful alone, with a large group of children, and will be able to hold her grandson next year. She can be at peace and freedom at home, and can also go out to lead troops to fight, free and free.
Su Mo didn't say anything about Rong Yuanfeng's life experience, and if it were said, it was the best in the world for his beauty mother.
Su Mo didn't care about Gu's family and Mu's family.
Soon Su Mo asked about Rong Yuancheng.
Rong Lan sighed and said that Qingfeng and the others had gone to Western Liao, and there was no news yet.
"Mom, when I see Qiu'er after I look back, I will go to the Western Liao Kingdom to pick up Acheng back." Su Mo said to Rong Lan.
Rong Lan was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Su Mo, "I see that your face is still not good. You have just detoxified and your body has not recovered yet, right? Although I am very worried about Acheng, you must do what you can."
The warm current spread in Su Mo's heart, and he shook his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, mom, I know it in my heart."
"Okay, let's see you." Rong Lan nodded, "Go back to find Dr. Liu to take your pulse and see if you will prescribe some medicines to nourish your body. Now there should be no shortage of medicinal materials."
"Okay." Su Mo agreed. He also hoped that he would get better soon. He didn't want to do anything before meeting Yuan Qiu, but now he found that there are many things to do. He should show off his good performance as Rong Lan's good son and Yuan Qiu's good husband, protecting his hard-won home.
Zhu Jinnian followed behind, keeping a distance, and didn't listen to what Rong Lan and Su Mo were talking about, but he could feel that their relationship was really good, like a mother and son. Su Mo was obviously a cold person, but inexplicably a bit... well-behaved? Zhu Jinnian felt it was a bit strange.
"Since that senior saved your life, you should not go back on your word if you promised him, no matter whether someone is staring at you." Rong Lan reminded Su Mo. If a person has no faith, he will not stand. The other party is Su Mo's life-saving benefactor. Whether it is good or evil, Su Mo's promises himself must do what he promised.
Su Mo nodded, "Well, I know. But what I promised not to meet. I hid in the dark and secretly looked at Qiu'er, which should not be considered a violation of my promise."
Rong Lan sighed slightly, "That's right. I will tell Qiu'er about this."
"Did she... miss me?" Su Mo asked weakly.
Rong Lan chuckled, "Qiu'er only said that she remembered you."
That is, not forgetting, not forgetting is thinking about it... Su Mo came to the conclusion, saying that the little girl must be very worried about him, and she has become a family member, and there is no possibility of getting rid of him.
In Wan'an City, a new day has arrived.
After Rong Lan left for three days, Su Yan and others were placed under house arrest in Nanzhao Posthouse and were not allowed to be free.
To be continued...
