.first meet
"Su Mo, I'm blamed for being careless this time..." Lu Zhe sighed, stood behind Su Mo, and raised his hand to pat his shoulder. He knew that for Su Mo, the most important person in the world was Yuan Qiu. Last night's incident shouldn't have been like that...
Su Mo suddenly turned around, Lu Zhe paused and subconsciously took two steps back, feeling that Su Mo might want to beat him, but then he thought that he deserved to be beaten.
It’s not that Lu Zhe really thinks that he is wrong.
But for a long time, Lu Zhe himself and people around him believed that his most powerful thing was his mind, and martial arts was second.
This is also the reason why Lu Zhe believes that he can gain a foothold among the young and powerful people of the Rong family and have a place.
Lu Zhe almost never thought from the beginning that his martial arts skills would surpass Su Mo one day, but he always felt that in terms of mental skills, he was not inferior to Su Mo, Yuan Qiu, and Rong Yuancheng.
Last night's incident slapped Lu Zhe in the face. Although it can only be regarded as a mistake caused by temporary carelessness, the consequences are very serious.
It is true that Lu Zhe was still deeply upset, especially thinking that everyone else stayed at home peacefully. Yesterday, he only came to find Su Mo and Yuanqiu by himself. At that time, the Rong family did not stop him. His confidence was too great, and the Rong family's trust in him was disappointed.
But Lu Zhe expected that Su Mo would blame him or even attack him, but it did not happen. Although those things happened, Lu Zhe felt that it was normal. He could not ask Su Mo to still look at everything rationally until this time.
Su Mo folded the letter left by Su Yan and handed it to Lu Zhe, "You go home first and give this to Acheng."
Lu Zhe was stunned. He was sure that Su Mo's eyes were not calm. It seemed to contain anger that destroyed the world, and it seemed to be like a huge wave surging, but his voice was extremely calm.
Lu Zhe subconsciously took the letter. Su Mo had turned around and sat on the chair that Yuan Qiu had sat for a long time before. He began to sort out the messy desktop, put away the four treasures of the study, put the papers that Yuan Qiu wrote and painted together, and took back the medicinal materials piled together into the box.
The unused stack of paper and the top one caught Su Mo's attention.
There were some scattered and blurred ink marks on it, obviously printed on the piece of paper that was originally placed on it.
Su Mo knew Yuanqiu’s habits. When she was emotionally excited, her writing force would increase, and she would not have the writing method of “forced through the back of the paper”.
Su Mo looked at the paper and narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that Yuan Qiu had successfully thought of another formula for vomiting medicine last night! Because he was very happy at that time, when he wrote down the prescription, it was very powerful, so it was printed on the next piece of paper.
Su Mo put down the paper and wanted to find the last prescription that Yuan Qiu wrote on the table, but after reading all the handwriting of the paper that had written the words, it was not.
When Su Mo thought of the formula for vomiting medicine that Yuan Qiu had spent a lot of effort to study, it was likely that it had fallen into Su Yan's hands, Su Mo's face was as deep as water.
He closed his eyes and imagined that Yuan Qiu was sitting here at that time. She probably didn't know that Su Mo and Lu Zhe were deliberately lured away from the inn by Chu Liang. Perhaps they thought they were watching the stars chatting in the yard. As long as she called out, Su Mo would come to her immediately. After a long period of research and trial and error, Yuan Qiu finally found the alternative formula for vomiting medicine she wanted. He was excited and must have thought about finding Su Mo to share the joy. Unexpectedly, the person who appeared was Su Yan...
Su Yan has been hiding at their feet for the past two days, and must have heard the true medicine mentioned in their conversations many times. Before she caught Yuan Qiu, she knew what Yuan Qiu was doing.
Yuan Qiu was focused on vomiting medicine at that time, and thought that Su Mo was nearby and had no defense, and was controlled by Su Yan without any resistance. He could not have the opportunity to do anything under Su Yan's nose, such as destroying the formula of vomiting medicine to prevent Su Yan from getting it.
Thinking of how helpless Yuan Qiu was at that time, Su Mo's heart was as if he was stabbed by a steel needle, and it hurt so much.
He should be here, he should be with Yuan Qiu, he should be more cautious, he should...
Lu Zhe had already left with his letter and did not close the door. The sunlight shone into the room, but Su Mo's location was completely shrouded in shadow. He was left alone, and his uncontrollable emotions made him a little collapsed. His mind was full of Yuan Qiu, but it was a little blurred for a moment, as if Yuan Qiu was quickly leaving him and was dragged into a fog...
After a while, Su Mo took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, got up, and walked towards the entrance of the secret passage.
When Lu Zhe returned to Rong's house, he felt that the atmosphere was obviously wrong.
Except for the children who were taken to the lake to play, the whole family was in the warm chalet, but no one spoke, and the needle could be heard.
Lu Zhe entered the door and called "Aunt Rong". The next moment, a teacup flew towards him, and then the angrily scolded the ghost Taoist, "Bare! You are all wasteful! Just the girl Yuan Qiu can compete with Su Yan, can you all lose him! Is there any face to come back?"
Jun Lingxin had red eyes, looked at Lu Zhe, and lowered her head.
When Rong Yuancheng told the Rong family about the incident, he did not say anything that would make everyone think that Lu Zhe was wrong, but just said that Su Yan made an advance arrangement and could not be guarded against.
But it is normal for the ghost Taoist to scold Lu Zhe, because he scolded not only Lu Zhe, but also Su Mo and everyone present.
The whole family knows that although the ghost Taoist once harmed Su Mo and Yuan Qiu's dark history, although after he came to the Rong family, he always looked disliked Yuan Qiu, and he argued with Yuan Qiu in daily life, keeping his breath, and being so stupid that he didn't even know this... But the ghost Taoist's favorite is besides his treasure grandson Qing Xiuyi, Yuan Qiu's disciple.
Because whenever the ghost Taoist drinks with Duan Rong or Liu Zhong, he always shows off how powerful he is, and how filial Yuan Qiu is to him.
The ghost Taoist hated Su Yan, the evil disciple who had given him sincerely but was betrayed and betrayed, and he was surprised by him for not expecting but was always surprised by him. Even if he criticized him, he would love him as much as he felt comfortable.
When the ghost Taoist learned that Su Yan had captured Yuan Qiu, the two emotions were intertwined, the hatred and the worries became even more frequent, and he was almost crazy.
Lu Zhe knew that the ghost Taoist was just worried about Yuan Qiu, so he didn't say anything, so he walked over and handed the letter to Rong Yuancheng.
After reading it, Rong Yuancheng handed it to Rong Lan.
"Where is Amo?" Rong Lan held the letter tightly and looked at Lu Zhe and asked.
"He is still in the inn." Lu Zhe said. As for Su Mo's current psychological state, he could not be sure of it.
"I have sent someone to search the city for all suspicious clues and expand the scope, hoping to find clues left by Su Yan and her cousin." Although Lu Zhe said this, he knew very well that his hope was slim.
That was Su Yan, a person with a treacherous mind, high-quality martial arts, and excellent poison skills. If she wanted to take Yuan Qiu away, she would not be able to leave any clues. This is not a problem that many masters can solve by searching so carefully, because at this moment, they are still passive on the surface, and Su Yan, who is hiding in the secret, still holds the greatest initiative.
Although the Rong family all thinks that Yuan Qiu is the most powerful, objectively speaking, Yuan Qiu is still inferior to Su Yan's overall strength, especially in martial arts. Su Yan has countless subordinates, but Yuan Qiu has only himself. Especially, Mr. Zhou and Qingfeng, who had lost their news before, may become hostages in Su Yan's hands, and Yuan Qiu definitely does not want Su Yan to touch his relatives and friends in Wan'an City again.
Therefore, even if Yuan Qiu has the ability to leave clues and has the opportunity to escape, she will take great risks, and she will not do so.
But when Lu Zhe thought that Yuan Qiu had no choice but to surrender and obediently followed Su Yan, he felt even more and more self-blame in his heart. The ghost Taoist scolded him right. Yuan Qiu's strongest strength was not martial arts, but they should protect Yuan Qiu, but they did not do it. They could not accept such a result just because Su Yan was even more powerful. "It is destined to lose this game", which is a fact, but they should also be ashamed of it!
"Just just in case, the city will be lifted again tomorrow." Rong Yuancheng said and stood up, "The third sister is auspicious and heavenly person. There is no problem. What should I do. I will go to my brother-in-law to discuss when to set off for the Chu family."
The letter left by Su Yan was a ridicule of Su Mo and a letter of war sent to him.
Instead of searching for Su Yan's traces everywhere and trying to catch up with her, it is better to go directly to the Chu family, which is more likely to find Yuan Qiu.
Rong Yuanshun suddenly burst into tears and threw herself on Rong Lan and burst into tears, "Sister... I don't want something wrong with my sister..."
No matter how many relatives this child has, in his heart, Yuan Qiu's position is always at the forefront and irreplaceable.
Rong Yuancheng and Lu Zhe walked out of the warm room one after another. They still have a lot to do and cannot be immersed in negative emotions all the time, as that would be of no use at all.
"Where is Chu Xiaoxiao?" Lu Zhe asked Rong Yuancheng. Yuan Qiu was lost. Lu Zhe didn't care about Chu Xiaoxiao's life and death at this moment, but he needed to know about this. It was obvious that Chu Liang deliberately wanted to kill Chu Xiaoxiao, and there was a suspicion of killing people with a knife, which showed that Chu Xiaoxiao's identity was more important than they thought.
"I was seriously injured and unconscious. I was sent to the Liu family. I don't know if I can be rescued." Rong Yuancheng shook his head.
At that time, Su Mo brought Chu Xiaoxiao back and met Rong Yuancheng first. When Rong Yuancheng heard that something happened to Yuanqiu, Su Mo handed Chu Xiaoxiao to Rong Yuancheng and rushed into the inn.
Chu Xiaoxiao was already dying at that time, and Rong Yuancheng immediately sent her to Liu Zhong and asked Liu Zhong to do his best to save her, but he did not wait there, so he didn't know whether Chu Xiaoxiao is still alive at the moment.
Rong Yuancheng gave Chu Xiaoxiao the only Nine-Turn Pill that Yuan Qiu gave to Chu Xiaoxiao at that time. He hoped Chu Xiaoxiao would still be alive, otherwise the situation would be worse.
"I have the responsibility to have something happened to my cousin this time. Su Mo goes to the Chu family and I will be with him." Lu Zhe said.
Before the accident, I said several times that Su Mo and Yuanqiu planned to go to the Chu family, but Lu Zhe would not go. He wanted to stay and watch the Rong family, and he also wanted to watch his youngest son was born. This time, there was no more regret.
But as the situation suddenly changed, Lu Zhe didn't care about so much. He couldn't help Jun Lingxin give birth, but he had to help Su Mo bring Yuan Qiu Ping'an home!
Rong Yuancheng didn't say anything, and went to the inn with Lu Zhe to find Su Mo.
Rong Yuanfeng and Lin Song had already received the news that they learned that something happened to Yuan Qiu, and they withdrew their troops and were on their way home.
Rong Yuancheng asked Zhu Laoguo Duke and Zhu Jinnian's grandchildren to return home, but Zhu Han and Qi Yong were still on duty in the city. Today, they continued to confine the people in the entire Wan'an City and were not allowed to leave the house.
In fact, there is no need, but Rong Yuancheng is calm on the surface and irritable on the inside. He doesn't want to see those who follow the crowd and almost created a riot yesterday and clamored to burn Yuan Qiu to death.
At this moment, Su Mo was holding a torch and walking forward in the secret passage.
Mrs. Xin cleaned up the poison in the secret passage, but there was still a disgusting stench in the dark and cramped secret passage that could not be dissipated.
This secret passage was secretly dug by Su Yan a few days ago. The underground part of the inn was the only spacious place. Su Yan hid there for three days. Walking further forward, the secret passage was very rough and could only meet the basic escape needs. It was so narrow that one person could only pass by at a time. With Su Mo's height, he had to lower his head and bend over, and at least one hand kept holding the wall to maintain balance. In addition, there were many turns in the middle, so he couldn't walk fast at all.
The torch illuminates the wet mud wall, and Sumo sees messy handprints on it.
Su Mo walked forward a few meters and tried to find the handprints left by Yuan Qiu on the wall of the secret passage. If there were, he would definitely recognize them.
But strangely, Su Mo saw the handprints suspected to be Su Yan or Mrs. Xin and Lu Zhe’s handprints, but not Yuan Qiu’s.
Yuan Qiu must have followed Su Yan through the secret passage, because if Su Yan let Yuan Qiu fall into a coma, she would have to drag Yuan Qiu away from the ground, but judging from the traces left, she obviously did not do so.
Su Mo felt something was wrong. He moved forward again, not letting go of any inch on the wall. After a moment, he found an unusual trace.
There is a deep fingerprint on the mud wall, slightly lowered, like a number, which is messy, but is enough to identify.
Su Mo frowned, wrote down the number, and continued to move forward. Soon, he found similar traces, a deep fingerprint, and another number below.
After finding the fifth similar trace on the wall of the secret passage, Su Mo felt that this was the clue left to him by Yuan Qiu!
There was no Yuan Qiu's handprint on the wall. I think that fingerprint was left by Yuan Qiu. When she supported the wall with her hands, she only supported one finger. At the same time, she quickly wrote a number on the wall with other fingers, and then continued to move forward.
The secret passage is very dark, and you have to walk with your head down. Yuan Qiu should be asked by Su Yan to walk in front. Su Yan is difficult to detect the subtle movements of her fingers. Su Mo has discovered the rules. All fingerprints and numbers are at the corner. This cannot be a coincidence, because when you want to turn the direction, it is more conducive to Yuan Qiu's concealing her small movements! She did this specifically!
Su Mo recorded the numbers and recited them silently in his heart. His eyes narrowed, and he thought about what this was!
When Yuan Qiu had just married Su Mo, Duan Rong and Duan Yunhe gave her a medicine warehouse, which contained various rare medicinal materials. In the past two years, Su Mo has been sending people around the world to collect medicinal materials and supplement the medicine warehouse for Yuan Qiu.
In Yuanqiu's medicine warehouse, each small cabinet where the medicinal herbs is located has an exclusive number! Many Dimensions were busy in the medicine warehouse, and Su Mo was by her side. Sometimes Su Mo would help Yuanqiu get the medicinal herbs she needed.
Once, Yuan Qiu said that she had already remembered the number and location of the medicine cabinet where each medicinal material in the medicine warehouse was located. Su Mo was a little surprised at that time and even took Yuan Qiu to take the exam, Yuan Qiu could answer it.
Then, while Su Mo was accompanying Yuan Qiu, he silently memorized the medicine cabinet number corresponding to each medicinal material. Yuan Qiu needed Su Mo to help get the medicine, and he could take it over immediately because he was already very familiar with it.
Su Mo knew that the numbers left in this secret passage must be the formula for the true medicine left by Yuan Qiu. Even if Su Yan found that something was wrong, she couldn't understand it at all. No one except Su Mo could understand it. This was his and Yuan Qiu's code.
Su Mo walked the secret passage again and wrote down all the numbers.
Chapter completed!
