Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen
Chapter 39: Thunder! Let's go
Su Chengnan was stunned when he heard this.
Exchange? Oh, wait until you confess the truth first!
But Lu Chaofeng kept his word and said something so shocking that Su Chengnan's legs went weak and he almost fell down the valley.
"What did you say?!"
"You...you say it again!"
Lu Chaofeng moved two steps to the side and protected her inside. After she stood firmly against the wall again, he lowered his voice and repeated what he had just said.
"Today."
"He may not be the blood of the previous emperor."
Su Chengnan's blood pressure skyrocketed. Although she loved eating melons, she knew that some melons were edible, while others were unpalatable!
She regretted it so much that her intestines almost broke.
It's all my fault! Why would I bother to ask questions when there's nothing to ask?
Now, my life, no! The lives of everyone in the Su family, are all at stake.
"Empress Dowager Xiao was extremely secretive about this matter. We only stumbled upon some important clues while investigating the corruption case of the Emperor's uncle..."
"We have been keeping a low profile as much as possible over the years, just to collect evidence and, of course, to protect ourselves."
Su Chengnan took several deep breaths and slowly regained his composure.
Hiss, this kind of thing!!
How dare he just say that?!
She felt that Lu Chaofeng must not have finished what he was saying, and that the Ningyuan Palace must have already obtained important evidence and was just waiting for an opportunity.
Lu Chaofeng kept chasing me all the way. Did he know about the will?
"Lu Chaofeng, stop talking."
"I'll just pretend I've never heard these words. I know nothing."
Lu Chaofeng chuckled: "It's too late."
Su Chengnan shook his head: "I don't have anything to give you in exchange."
"You have."
"Then tell me, what is it that you have been looking for?"
"Last will."
Su Chengnan's heart finally died when she got the answer. She dug her nails into her palms, barely maintaining a calm expression.
"What will?"
"Are you saying that the Su family has the will of the late emperor or the ancestor emperor?"
"Lu Chaofeng, stop joking. If I had that thing, why would I run away?! I can just take it out directly."
Lu Chaofeng just watched her act quietly. Even Su Chengnan herself didn't know that she would habitually raise her eyebrows and smile when she told a lie. He had noticed this subtle change in expression many times.
"Miss Su, you'd better think about it again."
"You know very well what the Su family's situation is. If you have something like this in your hands, wouldn't that be a crime?"
"Why do you have to bring your whole family to seek death together?"
How could Su Chengnan not know this, but she didn't trust Lu Chaofeng! She was afraid that he would kill her as soon as she handed over the will.
calm down!
There must be a way to break the deadlock.
She quickly brainstormed, going through all the possibilities, and finally spoke slowly.
"What's in it for me?"
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Chaofeng's eyes.
"What do you want? The safety of the Su family, or wealth and glory? I can even bring you back from the dead and make you the true Crown Prince's Consort."
Su Chengnan couldn't help but shudder and said anxiously: "Stop, stop, stop! Stop it! I have no interest in you."
Lu Chaofeng's breathing stagnated. No one had ever rejected him like this before. He suddenly felt a little weird and uncomfortable.
"Then what do you want? As long as you give it to me, I will help you achieve it no matter what."
"What you say is unfounded."
"What do you want?"
At this time, Lu Chaofeng's attitude seemed really good.
Su Chengnan felt that even if she asked him to dance for her, he might agree reluctantly.
Yes! After all, apart from the late emperor, the only two remaining descendants of the Ancestor Emperor were Prince Ningyuan and Prince Xiaoyao. Prince Xiaoyao was now very old, and his eldest son was a famous playboy in the capital, spending his days drinking and having fun. His other two legitimate sons weren't particularly talented either.
After looking around, only Lu Chaofeng, who wasn't feigning illness, looked presentable. Su Chengnan felt that facing the supreme power, it was impossible for him not to be tempted!
"I want you to help me reach Ningguta safely!"
"Ok?"
Lu Chaofeng never understood why they had to go to such a bitter and cold place.
Su Chengnan looked up and explained to him:
"Before my father died, he told me to take everyone to Ningguta and hinted that there was something there that could save our lives."
"Ningguta." He repeated it in a low voice, then remembered Wu Ming's previous report, and did not suspect that she was lying.
"My father has been a man of courage and wisdom throughout his life. He was able to leave us troops, horses, and money at the village ahead of time. I believe he must have a backup plan in Ningguta as well, otherwise he would not have ordered us to make the long journey there."
"Master Lu, do you think this is right?"
Su Chengnan's voice was soft and gentle, and her eyes looking up at him were full of expectation, which made Lu Chaofeng ponder for two seconds, and then nodded unconsciously, "Yeah, that makes sense."
"If you are sure that the will is in my father's hands, then I guess he must have hidden it in Ningguta."
"You really don't have it in your hand?"
"No!" Su Chengnan said firmly.
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search! If they find me, I'd like to thank you for saving the lives of the entire Su family."
Lu Chaofeng looked at her deeply and finally believed what she said.
Because he thought about it over and over again, he really didn't understand why Su Chengnan had to disobey the order and fake her death in Ningguta. Even if she had ambitions and plans, she would definitely not run to a cold and bitter place under normal circumstances.
So he was willing to believe that it was Su Weimin who asked her to go, and even left capital for the Su family to make a comeback there.
"I'm in the capital with you... Oh no, I..."
Lu Chaofeng wanted to talk about his time guarding the mausoleum, but he got stuck just as he started. He felt awkward...
Su Chengnan sneered: "Your Highness is really unrefined. You can even think of a ghost marriage. Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world in the future?"
Lu Chaofeng was the last disciple of the Penglai Valley Master, and having spent two years there, his ways had long since taken on the airs of the Jianghu, becoming unconcerned with trivial matters. Furthermore, since his past grudges had yet to be avenged, he didn't care what the world thought of him.
However, he still restrained his expression and bowed politely to Su Chengnan. "I have to thank you for my smooth departure from the capital. I owe you a favor and will definitely repay you in the future."
"keep your word?"
"I will keep my word!"
Su Chengnan raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that just by teasing him, he could get a promise in return. Ha, this is like picking up a lottery ticket for free. Not bad.
But she changed her mind and sighed, "Alright, my Lord, as long as you don't take me to heaven for no reason and don't kill me at every turn, I will thank you."
Lu Chaofeng glanced at her and said, "I really want to kill you. How can you survive until now?"
"Oh, thank you so much for not killing me."
……
By the time the two finished talking, it was already dawn.
This time when they returned, Lu Chaofeng did not launch a surprise attack. Instead, he waited until Su Chengnan, who was afraid of heights, was mentally prepared before using his lightness skills to take her back.
"Then it's settled."
"Okay, let my people go."
"Don't worry! I'll be back safe and sound."
"Okay, then I'll leave immediately. See you in three days."
"Okay, I'll have someone wait for you at the city gate."
Su Chengnan watched Lu Chaofeng walk away, and only then did he feel relieved.
When Su Linhua, Uncle Fu and others saw her return safely, they cried with joy. Even the other concubines and maids were obviously relieved.
Only Han's eyes were unfriendly: "Nan'er, come here!"
Su Chengnan ignored her, turned around and gave an order,
"Let's go! Keep going!"
