How is it irrelevant?

She definitely pays attention and cares about matters related to her revenge.

Shen Peiqing didn't look at Rong Su, nor did he dare to look at her. He was even more afraid that she would say something to shake his heart at the moment.

Without waiting for her to answer, he said, "Forget it. There's no point in talking to you about this. Let's go."

Seeing him about to leave, Rong Su called out to him, wanting to clarify: "Shen Peiqing, stop. How can this matter be meaningless? Stop."

The person had already disappeared without even stopping for a moment.

Rong Su was a little unhappy that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, but after he calmed down, he was puzzled. Wasn't his enemy his half-brother? His brother was in the court and was now the crown prince in the limelight. If he wanted revenge, he must return to the court.

But his words hinted that he had no intention of taking the path of the court.

She hadn't paid attention to Shen Peiqing for so long that she couldn't see what he wanted to do now.

No matter what he does, one thing is that he cannot let it affect his revenge plan.

He looked up at the sky with a determined look. It was too cold outside, so he quickly closed the window and went to rest.

A few days later, Yan Liang called Shen Peiqing and Rong Su to the City Lord's Mansion, probably because of the Hutou Gate incident.

As soon as they entered the door, Yan Liang hurriedly asked them to take a seat.

"Brother Shen, Sister Asu, please take a seat quickly!"

When Shen Peiqing heard Yan Liang call Rong Su like that, he glanced at her sideways.

Seeing his worried look, Yan Liang also noticed Shen Peiqing's doubts, so he explained it himself with a big smile on his face.

"Haha, Brother Shen, you don't know. A few days ago, I wanted to ask Sister A Su to be my adopted sister, but unfortunately, Sister A Su didn't want to. So I'll just be close friends with Sister A Su. Sister A Su asked me to call her A Su, but it was awkward no matter how I called her, so I took the initiative to add "Sister" at the end. I don't think Sister A Su would mind."

He finished speaking, and Rong Su had no way to refute anything. It was always tiring to care about these things.

"Follow the city lord."

"Well, now it's just me and Brother Shen. Sister Asu, you can just call me Brother Yan. After all, I am indeed much older than Sister Asu." Yan Liang looked at her with a helpless and pleading expression.

Yan Liang kept waiting, as if there was no way to discuss the matter unless she shouted.

Helpless, Rong Su could only reply calmly, "Brother Yan, did you add Shen Peiqing and me here because there's news from the Tiger Head Sect?"

When Yan Liang heard Rong Su calling him "Big Brother", he was so happy that he felt much more relaxed. He was originally upset about the Hutoumen incident, but now his brows were relaxed.

"It's because of the Tiger Head Sect incident that I called Sister Asu and Brother Shen here to discuss the matter."

"Did you find out something?" During the last discussion, no good solution was found. Although Shen Peiqing gave Yan Liang an idea, no one knew what he did next.

Yan Liang glanced at Shen Peiqing, his expression gradually becoming more solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Through the people I sent to inquire, it turns out that the Tiger Head Sect is indeed a group of people from the underworld. Their style of action is decisive and secretive. It took my people quite a while to get a little information."

The martial arts sects naturally have their own rules when doing things. The bloody storms in the martial arts world are comparable to the swordplay between the continents, or even more cruel.

"It's said that Xu Biao has rarely left the mountain gate in the past two weeks. Even for some large-scale transactions, he stays indoors. I originally thought that Xu Biao was just being idle because he had trusted people to do the work. But I also sent people to investigate Xu Biao's personality. He never likes to delegate tasks to others."

Hearing the meaning of this, Rong Su had a guess: "He suspects that he must have some personal reasons for going out less frequently and handing off some not-so-important matters to his confidants."

Seeing that Rong Su had guessed something, Yan Liang looked at her with admiration and said affirmatively, "Sister Su, you're right. The people I sent out found out that Xu Biao himself has had a recurring migraine. I heard that the sect has sent many doctors from outside to see him. If they hadn't found so many doctors, my people might not have been able to find out anything."

Migraine is a relatively common disease and can be treated by doctors.

Xu Biao has consulted so many doctors but none of them can help him. It seems that this is not just a migraine.

Seeing that Rong Su didn't say anything and Shen Peiqing also didn't speak, Yan Liang felt a little nervous. This matter concerned the safety of the people in the mining city, and it had to be handled properly no matter what.

"Brother Yan seems to have his own ideas. Why not just say it directly." Rong Su saw Yan Liang's anxiety and eagerness. Since she came, she was also here to solve the problem, otherwise the mission would end in vain.

Yan Liang looked at Shen Peiqing again, thinking that it was Shen Peiqing who told him the words at the beginning, and what he had to do now still depended on Shen Peiqing, so he had to see what Shen Peiqing thought first.

Seeing Yan Liang looking over, Shen Peiqing actually understood what Yan Liang meant. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "City Lord, please tell me what you think. I will help you if I can."

With Shen Peiqing's words, Yan Liang finally felt comfortable speaking out his plan. "The Tiger Head Sect is in the business of escorting people from the underworld or their relatives. My thinking is, Brother Shen is more familiar with the underworld's ways of doing things, so it would be best if you go to them to discuss the deal."

After Yan Liang's words, Shen Peiqing already knew what Yan Liang was going to do. He continued, "The city lord wants me to pretend to be a Jianghu person to negotiate business with the Tiger Head Sect, and then take the opportunity or find an opportunity to get close to Xu Biao."

As expected, talking to smart people is the easiest. Yan Liang slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "That's right! Brother Shen is indeed very intelligent! He understood what I meant immediately!"

Talking business and then getting close to Xu Biao is indeed the best way to get close to Xu Biao at present.

Thinking of something, Rong Su couldn't help but raise her doubts: "But, doesn't Xu Biao rarely come forward to take charge of things? How to get him to come forward should be a difficult task."

"Don't worry, Sister Asu. I have asked someone to inquire about the business rules of the Hutou Sect beforehand. For any business exceeding one thousand taels of gold, the sect leader will meet with you in person." Yan Liang had already made comprehensive plans and said with confidence.

"So, when the time comes, I'll have to trouble Sister Asu to talk to Brother Gu Yun and have him go with Brother Shen. They say your doctors are experts in observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, and no one's illness can escape their sharp eyes."

Yan Liang asked this to Rong Su again, and Rong Su remembered that Gu Yun was busy with Huimenxuan's affairs today. Today was the last day to see the patients in Huimenxuan taking medicine, so Yan Liang did not call him.

"Okay. I will talk to Gu Yun about this." It was just a small matter, so Rong Su agreed without much hesitation.

Yan Liang nodded, then turned to Shen Peiqing with a serious expression: "Then I'll leave everything else to Brother Shen."

"The city lord has already figured out what to do, and I will help. When the time comes, I will need to bring the stones." Shen Peiqing did not refuse and made the request in a calm voice.

"Of course you can." Yan Liang thought about it and realized that the Hutou Sect required only three people to go to discuss things, so adding Shitou was also feasible, and then he could just let Xiaosi or Xiaoliu go along.

"So, on what date has the city lord agreed with the other party to meet and discuss things?" Shen Peiqing asked slowly, looking very relaxed, as if he had done this countless times. Yan Liang had the illusion that he was the one of inferior status in front of him.

This naturally made him suspicious. He heard that Shen Peiqing was just a bodyguard of Sister Asu. Why did a bodyguard not only have a calm and awe-inspiring aura, but also have a brave and decisive follower?

Among guards like Shen Peiqing, he is unique.

Forget it, this is Sister Asu's business, and it is not appropriate for him to interfere. As long as he can get the job done, it doesn't matter who Shen Peiqing is. As long as he doesn't threaten the mining city, he should just turn a blind eye to the rest.

"In three days, in front of the Gray Rock Mountain Gate, they will send someone to pick us up." After Yan Liang had inquired about Xu Biao's affairs earlier, he immediately set out to find someone to negotiate with the Tiger Head Sect about the escort. The other party was a martial arts sect that was quick to act, and as long as the money was in place, everything would be easy to discuss.

Later, Shen Peiqing discussed some details with Yan Liang. Chang Sen came to find Yan Liang, but Yan Liang had something to do, so he left the City Lord's Mansion first.

Seeing that everything was fine, Rong Su also planned to go back to Huimenxuan to check.

Just as she took a step, Shen Peiqing called her.

"You seem to have changed a lot."

Pausing, Rong Su's eyes flickered slightly, not understanding what Shen Peiqing meant: "In this world, people are the most likely to change. So what do you want to say?"

Shen Peiqing stared at her back for a long while, and said in a cold voice: "Nothing. I just think you are right. The people who change the most easily are people."

She just felt that he was confused. Thinking of what he had said before, Rong Su wanted to seize the opportunity to ask him clearly, but when she turned around, he disappeared again.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy, but she didn't like being affected too much by others' emotions. So she took a deep breath, exhaled, calmed down, and turned to leave the city lord's mansion.

After returning to Huimenxuan, I will tell Gu Yun what Yan Liang had instructed me to do.

However, Gu Yuer told him that Gu Yun seemed to be unwell and had a high fever.

After hearing this, Rong Su decided to go and take a look. After all, Gu Yun had put in a lot of effort in helping her plant herbs for the past half month.

It's reasonable to go and see it.

He went to the door of Gu Yun's room and raised his hand to knock.

A weak, hoarse voice, accompanied by fatigue and discomfort, came from inside.

"Who is it? I'll open the door."

Soon, the door of the wing room opened, and Gu Yun was wearing a veil, with only a pair of eyes showing.

His eyes, which used to be warm and lively, were now slightly dark and no longer in their former state. This was obviously caused by the high fever and the difficulty in sleeping at night.

When the other person saw her, he seemed frightened and was about to open the door, but quickly closed it.

Seeing this, Rong Su immediately called out to stop him and held the door frame with her hand. "Gu Yun, I heard from Yu'er that you weren't feeling well, so I came to see you. I also brought you a bowl of medicine for your fatigue and cold."

Because her hand suddenly pressed against the door frame, Gu Yun was afraid that if he closed the door hard he would hurt her, so he let go of the door. When he heard that she had brought the medicine soup, his eyes moved to her hand again and he saw that she was indeed holding a food box.

She raised her hand to cover half of her face. Even though she was wearing a veil, she still made this gesture, which made her look like she was trying to cover her ears and steal the bell.

Rong Su felt funny in her heart but didn't show it on her face. Seeing that he didn't move, it was obvious that he didn't intend to let her in.

"Gu Yun wants me to stand here forever?"

Gu Yun knew that he was being rude, but his room was now filled with the sick energy he created, and he didn't want her to be infected by it.

"I'm sorry. Ah Su, I'm sick with a high fever now, so I'd better not let you in. If I make you sick too, I'll be guilty."

He was sick, and his gentle eyes revealed a look of self-blame, which made him look somewhat pitiful. He was as gentle as a willow, even softer than a woman.

Obviously the other person was sick, and she shouldn't have thought of weird things, but she couldn't help but think of those things.

He silently recited his sins in his heart, and then handed the medicine in his hand to him: "Then Gu Yun, drink these medicines and then rest."

Gu Yun didn't know what Rong Su was thinking, but when he saw the medicine, he felt very happy, as if he felt that it didn't matter if he was sick.

"Okay, thank you, Asu."

Rong Su smiled and thought it would be better not to tell him those things. Since he was sick, he should just have a good rest.

I chatted with him briefly for a few words, and seeing that he was indeed not in good condition, I didn't disturb him any further. After telling him to have a good rest, I left.

Shen Peiqing helped Yan Liang with his work, and she didn't tell anyone else about it. Since Gu Yun couldn't go, she would just go.

At the appointed time, Rong Su got up early, took out a set of thin men's clothes that she had asked Chang Sen for the day before, put them on, dressed up, and looked in the bronze mirror.

There was one less beautiful lady in the mirror, and one more rough, dark-skinned little man.

Satisfied with his outfit, he put on his felt hat, looking like a real young man.

Then he went out to find Shen Peiqing and Shitou.

Outside the city, Shen Peiqing, Shitou and Xiao Si were already waiting for Gu Yun on horseback. However, it was not Gu Yun who came, but Rong Su dressed as a man.

Shen Peiqing frowned, his expression as serious as a teacher ready to lecture at any moment: "Do you think the rules of the martial arts sect are just for show? If they say you can't bring women with you, then you can't bring them. If you are found out pretending to be a man, Shitou, with his martial arts skills alone, won't be able to save the two of us."

He was thinking about the rules, but Rong Su was thinking about getting close to Xu Biao, so she refuted Shen Peiqing with confidence.

"Gu Yun is ill now, so it's impossible for him to go with you. I'm also a doctor. As long as I keep my head down, they won't be able to detect my pretense."

"Heh. Rong Su, this matter is not a joke. None of us knows how many masters there are in the Tiger Head Sect, and what their personalities are like. If we are discovered, your life will be a joke, right?" Shen Peiqing's tone was a little cold, and he could hear that he was getting angry.

"There are more doctors in the city than just you and Gu Yun. Xiao Si, go ask your city lord to get a male doctor." Shen Peiqing ignored Rong Su and instead ordered Xiao Si to get someone else.

Xiao Si looked at Shen Peiqing, then at Rong Su, and then rode his horse to find Yan Liang.
