Chapter 234 Peace Talisman
Chapter 234 Peace Talisman
Su Chengnan finished writing the letter, put it into an envelope and sealed it carefully, then stood up, walked to the door, opened it and went out.
Bing San and his companions were gathered around the brazier, eating. Seeing Su Chengnan come out, he immediately came over and said, "Miss."
Su Chengnan handed him the letter: "It is too dangerous to travel at night. Please ask the messenger to leave at dawn tomorrow morning."
"The army has its own rules, let them follow them." Bingsan explained.
"Well, then, if you insist on leaving tonight, bring enough dry food and water, and also give the prince a gift in return."
"What's the reply?"
Su Chengnan frowned slightly, paced back and forth, thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get it!"
"Okay, Miss."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the house, pretending to open the box, but in fact she took out a small bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes that were about to sprout from the space, as well as a box of gold bars and silver notes.
Bingsan was stunned when he saw the familiar money box.
Before he could react, Su Chengnan stuffed the money box into his arms.
"It's so heavy!" It's so heavy and it's quite substantial.
"Well, the war is urgent, and I'm afraid this money will come in handy. If the war ends one day earlier, the people will suffer one day less."
"My lady is kind and righteous, and I admire her!"
These words were said by Qingshan who had just returned. After meeting the messenger, he was relieved to know that Lu Chaofeng was doing well, so he immediately rushed back to see Su Chengnan.
"When will the messenger return? Maybe until tomorrow?" Su Chengnan asked.
"If you have written a reply, he would have to return by now, because the prince is about to leave. Ah Shun specifically instructed him to go and return early. If he misses it, he will have to travel again."
"Very well then! Take the money and the letter together! And ask him to be very careful and make sure to hand the things over to Prince Lu."
"Wait a minute, Miss!"
Qingshan frowned and said worriedly, "It's better not to send the money. The messenger just said that someone has been following him since he entered the city. We don't know what the situation is on his way back. Now that the prince has taken control of Mincheng, he shouldn't be short of money for the time being. Please rest assured, young lady."
Upon hearing this, Bing San quickly stuffed the money box back into Su Chengnan's hands and said, "Miss, I also think it's not a good idea to just give money. It's a bit... vulgar."
"Vulgar?"
If she had not spent many days with Bingsan and was sure that he was a native of the Yong Dynasty, she would have almost thought that he was from the modern era when she heard this.
It would be great if it were real money, how can it be considered vulgar?
Bing San said, "The prince sent a box of food because he was thinking of you and wanted you to taste the specialties of Mincheng. He wanted to reassure you of his situation through these things. Don't you think it's a bit unsociable of you to just give him money?"
Su Chengnan said without hesitation, "Shouldn't money be what he needs most? With money, he can buy food if he needs food, buy charcoal if he needs charcoal, and even go find war horses if he needs them. Although the money I can offer is limited, it's better than empty talk."
Bingsan and Qingshan were a little embarrassed. They didn't expect Su Chengnan's words to be so... fresh and unconventional.
Su Chengnan really couldn't understand. When she was working in the entertainment industry, many people fell in love for money, fame, and status. As long as the money was in place, no one cared how long their partner didn't come home, even if they lost contact.
For someone like her who values money, giving Lu Chaofeng this money is the best gift she can give him. Isn't this the ultimate pragmatism?
"Miss, please listen to my advice. You don't need to send any money." Qingshan said seriously.
"Does he really have enough food and fodder?"
"Once you go to Jiangnan, you will have everything!" Qingshan said firmly.
Su Chengnan lowered her eyes, thought quickly in her mind for a while, and finally agreed. She put away the money box, took back the reply letter, turned around and went back to the house, "Wait here for me for a while."
"Yes, Miss."
Several people looked at each other, and Bing San silently shook his head, "We have a long way to go. The good things that the masters have done... are still far away."
Qingshan nodded in empathy, and the two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Su Chengnan returned to the house, first put the banknotes back into the space, then sat down at the desk, took out a amulet from the space, opened the envelope and put it in, then resealed the envelope.
Su Linhua, who was standing next to him, saw this and was shocked: "Isn't this..."
Su Chengnan stood up as if nothing had happened.
But Su Linhua refused to accept it. She clamped her hands around her shoulders and said in a low voice, even though she was agitated, "This is the only thing the dean left you. Are you going to give it to Lu Chaofeng? Are you crazy?"
Su Chengnan gently shook her body, trying to escape from her clutches, but she couldn't break free. She blushed slightly and said, "I still hope he can live safely."
"Aren't you afraid of giving the amulet to him... then what about you?" Su Linhua's voice gradually became quieter, and then she asked in disbelief, "Are you determined to be with him?"
Confirmed?
It's still too early to say that.
At least that's the case at the moment.
Su Chengnan shook his head. "I just hope he can live in peace, put an end to the war as soon as possible, take control of the court, and stop the people from being displaced. After all, we are ordinary people too and need to make a living."
Su Linhua looked at him deeply, the emotions in her eyes were very complicated, it was hard to tell whether it was relief or something else. Su Chengnan looked away and didn't look into her eyes.
In fact, Su Linhua herself couldn't explain what kind of emotion was at work. On the one hand, she felt that Lu Chaofeng and her best friend were a perfect match, and the two were simply a match made in heaven.
But on the other hand, when she saw her best friend was going to give the amulet that she treasured to Lu Chaofeng, she felt very sad, as if she was no longer Su Chengnan's only support in this time and space.
Su Linhua silently let go of her hand, turned around silently, walked straight to the door and opened it.
Su Chengnan knew that this was her attitude, so he adjusted his mood, forced a smile and went out first.
"Miss."
"Well, take the letter to the courier."
"Yes!" Bingsan took the letter with both hands.
"Okay, let's all go and rest. I'm sleepy." Su Chengnan said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
Everyone left.
The two of them stayed silent all night, and it was unclear whether they fell asleep or not.
Wait until dawn.
The two got up early and went to the cafeteria one after another.
Before I even got there, I heard a noisy commotion outside the house.
There were calls, gong sounds, and all kinds of sounds mixed together.
"Miss! Oh no, something terrible has happened!"
"It's over, it's over!"
The guards at the door and the secret guards responsible for protecting the house shouted almost at the same time.
