Chapter 234: Amulet
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.
Bingsan and his companions were gathered around the brazier, eating. Seeing Su Chengnan coming 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 military 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 and thought for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house to get it!"
"Yes, Miss."
After she finished speaking, she turned back into the house and pretended to open a box, but in fact she took out a small bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes that were about to sprout, as well as a box of gold bars and silver bills.
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 quite significant.
"Well, the war is tight, and I'm afraid this money can come in handy. If the war ends one day earlier, the people can suffer one day less."
"My lady is kind and righteous. Your subordinates 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 will have to return now, because the prince is about to leave. Ashun specifically told him to go early and come back early. If he misses it, he will have to travel again."
"Well then! Take the money and the letter together! Please ask him to be careful and make sure to hand the things over to Master 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. Since the prince has already controlled Mincheng, he should not be short of money for the time being. Please rest assured, young lady."
When Bing San heard this, he quickly stuffed the money box back into Su Chengnan's hands and said, "Miss, I also think it's not good to give money directly. 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, "This prince sent a box of food because he was thinking of you and wanted you to taste the specialties of Mincheng. Through these things, he can feel at ease about his situation. You just gave money directly. Doesn't it seem a bit unromantic?"
Su Chengnan said without thinking: "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 a warhorse if he needs one. Although the money I can give 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 minded how long their partner didn't come home, and it didn't matter even if they lost contact.
For someone like her who values money more than anything else, giving Lu Chaofeng this money is the best gift she can give him. Isn’t this pragmatism at its finest?
"Miss, please listen to my advice. You don't need to send any money." Qingshan was very serious.
"Does he really have enough food and fodder?"
"Once you go to Jiangnan, you will have everything!" Qingshan said firmly.
Su Chengnan lowered his eyes, thought quickly in his 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 for me here 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, and the good things that the masters will do... 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 room, 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 the amulet in, then resealed the envelope.
Su Linhua, who was standing next to him, saw this and was shocked.
no……"
Su Chengnan stood up as if nothing had happened.
But Su Linhua refused to give in. She clamped her hands on her shoulders and said in a low voice despite being very emotional: "This is the only thing the dean left for 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, so she blushed 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 smaller, and then she asked incredulously: "Are you sure about him?"
Confirmed?
It's too early to say that.
At least that's the case at the moment.
Su Chengnan shook his head. "I just hope that he can live in peace, put an end to the war as soon as possible, control the court, and stop the people from being displaced. After all, we are ordinary people and we also need to make a living."
Su Linhua looked at him deeply, with complicated emotions in her eyes. 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 tell 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 take a 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 no one knew whether they fell asleep or not.
Wait until daybreak.
The two got up early and went to the cafeteria one after the other.
Before I reached the place, I heard a noisy noise coming from 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!"
The guards at the door and the secret guards responsible for protecting the house shouted almost at the same time.
