Chapter 345: Su Shaoying: I Appreciate Another Person
Chapter 345: Su Shaoying: I Appreciate Another Person
"It's a pity that Ye Gucheng was scared away by me." Su Shaoying spoke with a double meaning.
"It doesn't matter. Even if he returns to the capital, I know where he will stay." Gongsun Daniang said, "Moreover..."
"Moreover, he was also hit by a Tang Clan hidden weapon, and you're not sure if you want to send this letter to him?" Su Shaoying asked.
"You're the smartest!" Gongsun Daniang glared at Su Shaoying and sighed, "He's about to duel with Ximen Chuixue. Why did he come to kill Tang Tianyi?"
"Not just Tang Tianyi, I heard he also killed all the Swordmasters of the South China Sea?" Su Shaoying asked.
Gongsun Daniang shook her head and smiled, "He didn't kill them all, but indeed, only a cat or two are left. They won't dare to show their faces for a while."
"So, of course, he doesn't care about a mere Tang Tianyi." Su Shaoying said.
"But he has to care about the Tang Clan's hidden weapons." Gongsun Daniang said.
"With his swordsmanship, he could have prevented Tang Tianyi from making a move." Su Shaoying said calmly.
"But Tang Tianyi still made a move, and he was hit by the Tang Clan's poison sand." Gongsun Daniang said.
"What did you notice?" Su Shaoying asked.
"His long sword paused for a moment at the last moment, giving Tang Tianyi the opportunity to strike." Gongsun Daniang frowned, "I don't understand why. Could it be that he wanted to experience the Tang Clan's hidden weapons?"
"What about you?" Su Shaoying asked Ma Xiuzhen.
Ma Xiuzhen thought for a moment, "I seemed to hear a short, sharp sound of bamboo flute. Was there a master who made a move against Ye Gucheng, causing him to pause for a moment?"
At that time, Ye Gucheng's attack on Tang Tianyi was not very close to the crowd, so they didn't see the details of the battle clearly.
Gongsun Daniang asked Su Shaoying, "Did you see clearly?"
"Of course not." Su Shaoying shook her head.
Ye Gucheng's intention was to prevent everyone from seeing clearly. He wasn't clairvoyant, so how could he possibly see?
"Why are you asking so many questions!" Gongsun Daniang said irritably, "I thought you saw it clearly and wanted to test me!"
"Do I have the qualifications to test you?" Su Shaoying laughed.
"I heard Ouyang praise your swordsmanship, saying that it's no less than Ye Gucheng's heavenly flying skills." Gongsun Daniang glanced at Ma Xiuzhen again and looked at Su Shaoying with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing young girls."
Su Shaoying said righteously, "This is indeed one of my best skills."
Women can act coquettish and playful, so men should naturally know how to flirt.
"In this regard, you can compete with Lu Xiaofeng." Gongsun Daniang laughed, "If I weren't so old, I might have fallen for you too."
Su Shaoying nodded, "You are indeed old."
Gongsun Daniang:o.
Gongsun Daniang pointed her finger at Su Shaoying, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Do you believe me if I transfer Ouyang to the border?"
"In that case, the one who will be happy is my junior sister." Su Shaoying laughed, "Would you do such a thing that hurts your loved ones and pleases your enemies?"
Even though Ma Xiuzhen was a heroic and handsome Jianghu child, she still blushed and twisted Su Shaoying's arm, and Gongsun Daniang was even more stunned, "It seems that when it comes to being shameless, you and Lu Xiaofeng are very similar."
"So we don't get along." Su Shaoying said.
"Why?" Ma Xiuzhen didn't understand. If the two were similar, shouldn't they appreciate each other?
But Gongsun Daniang understood, and she snorted, "Of course, it's because there can only be one tiger in a forest."
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Shaoying smiled, "I dare not accept such praise.
...
By the time they sent Tang Tianyi's body to the morgue and returned to the capital, it was already dusk on the twelfth day of September.
News of Ye Gucheng being poisoned by the Tang Clan's poison sand had spread far and wide, and there was no doubt about the source of the information—it came from none other than the honest monk.
Ma Xiuzhen turned to Su Shaoying, "You guessed right!"
Normally, the honest monk wasn't one to gossip, especially about something as sensational as Ye Gucheng being poisoned. Moreover, the Tang Clan wasn't a small fry, so he shouldn't have involved himself in their affairs.
There had to be a reason why the honest monk was spreading this news.
Ma Xiuzhen's face turned pale. "Was Ye Gucheng's injury also part of their scheme?"
Su Shaoying asked, "If so, why would they publicize it?"
"Yeah!" Ma Xiuzhen blinked. If those people bet on Ye Gucheng to win, they shouldn't have plotted against him. And if they bet on him to lose, they shouldn't be publicizing their successful scheme. "Why is that?"
Ma Xiuzhen felt her brain, which wasn't very capacious to begin with, was about to dry up.
Even Gongsun Daniang's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Seeing Su Shaoying's calm expression, she asked, "You've guessed something?"
"Guessed what?"
"Why the honest monk spread the news?"
"How could I possibly guess that?" Su Shaoying said, as if he was telling the truth. "I'm not involved in any of this. How would I know what they're planning?"
"I'll believe you when pigs fly!" Gongsun Daniang muttered, no longer bothering to ask. Soon, she would be able to see for herself what was really going on.
That was why she didn't ask about Su Shaoying's speculations, but instead winked at him playfully. "I have something else to do. Remember, Ouyang is still waiting for you at Yiqing Yard."
After saying that, she walked away slowly, her back hunched and her waist bent, looking every bit like an elderly person.
Ma Xiuzhen looked at Gongsun Daniang and then at Su Shaoying, her curiosity piqued. "Did you really guess something or not?"
Su Shaoying shook his head and laughed. "Based on the current situation, it seems more like a play acted out by Ye Gucheng. He pretended to be poisoned, but he wasn't. He spread a false message... "
"To make Ximen Chuixue underestimate him?" Ma Xiuzhen continued.
"Is Ximen Chuixue the kind of person who would underestimate his opponent?" Su Shaoying asked.
Ma Xiuzhen thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, he's a proud man too. If Ye Gucheng was really poisoned, he might not even take action. So, if that's the case..."
"Ye Gucheng wasn't really poisoned, and those people behind the scenes wanted to scheme against him?" Ma Xiuzhen asked, then frowned and shook her head again. "But we clearly saw that Ye Gucheng was poisoned!"
"Don't think too much about it." Su Shaoying patted Ma Xiuzhen's arm. "On the night of the full moon, everything will become clear. For now..."
Ma Xiuzhen looked at Su Shaoying, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Are you going to Yiqing Yard now?"
"Of course not." Su Shaoying shook his head. Before Ma Xiuzhen could even smile, he continued, "Not me, but you. You're going to find Ouyang Qing."
"Me?" Ma Xiuzhen's eyes widened.
Su Shaoying nodded. "Go find Ouyang Qing."
"What about you?" Ma Xiuzhen asked.
Su Shaoying smiled. "I want someone to say thank you to me."
