Chapter 272: Curious and Almost Crazy
Tu Suminfei reacted quickly, frowning, his tone suddenly changing as he angrily shouted, "You left home for several months under the pretext of escorting an convoy, and you actually went to Lu Ding?!"
Tu Subo didn't take it seriously and responded lightly. Tu Suminfei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "You are so bold!"
"Lu Ding is a place fraught with danger. Countless forces, both overt and covert, are eyeing it covetously. How dare you..."
"Oh my, why are you so angry, Second Young Master?"
Outside the desolate and dilapidated temple, Cheng Jingen, dressed in fiery red, approached with a smile on her face, fan in hand, and said frivolously, "It's just the Deer Cauldron. What's the big deal if I go there?"
"Besides, isn't he still alive and well?"
"If you don't believe me, just look. The head is still hanging steadily on the neck, without any damage."
Tu Su Minfei and Cheng Jingen are not familiar with each other, but they can be considered acquaintances.
He was quick-witted and in a moment he understood many of the previous mysteries.
"Did Tu Subo ask you to come and investigate?"
Cheng Jingen sighed, his tone resentful: "What else?"
"Once the Tu Su family shows up, it will inevitably lead to a bloody storm. I am the only innocent lone seedling who can dispatch a few. I don't want to rush around. Do I want to put Tu Subo in danger?"
However, Tu Subo was responsible for planning strategies, while he was only responsible for running around.
After all, no one can compare to Tu Subo's wit and versatility. He is the only one who can make many decisions and dares to implement them.
Cheng Jingen complained to himself for a while, then turned his gaze to Tu Su Minfei, whose face was ashen, with a smile full of cunning and amusement.
“But then again, meeting Young Master Tu Su in this remote place is truly a pleasant surprise.”
Haven't these cousins always been hoping that the other will die soon?
How come they are sharing hardships and seem to have developed a brotherly relationship now?
Cheng Jing'en pondered secretly in his heart, and spoke out his words one by one.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Tu Subo and Tu Suminfei's faces suddenly darkened. They were disgusted with each other, but they also said in unison: "Who would treat him as a brother?"
"What is his virtue?"
After a moment of silence, Cheng Jingen could not help but admire it and clapped his hands in amazement: "Wonderful, really wonderful."
Tu Subo frowned, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Shut up."
Cheng Jing'en's annoying mouth never stops and he only remembers the food but not the beating.
After the discussion, Tu Suminfei looked at his cynical smile and felt annoyed. Before leaving, he reminded him seriously: "When you are in the martial arts world, be careful with your words."
Cheng Jingen blinked in confusion, and Tu Subo added lightly, "Otherwise, you might be in danger of being killed."
It’s true that birds of a feather flock together!
Tu Su Minfei didn't want to stay outside for too long, so he strode out of the dilapidated temple, grabbed the reins and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Cheng Jing'en chuckled and said lazily, "Second Young Master, I heard that you are quite prestigious in the gambling house. Even those veterans who have fought there for years have been defeated by you. This is an honor worth showing off, but things are unpredictable and the situation changes. It is inevitable that there will be people secretly coveting you and sharpening their knives."
"It's natural to envy someone for their unlimited glory, but we must also remember that life and property are the most important. If everything vanishes, what good is all that glory? What do you think?"
Cheng Jingen always talks incessantly and spouts nonsense.
However, his methods are indeed remarkable.
Otherwise, how could Tu Subo trust him with such an important task? Since he was so sure about it, it was certainly not without purpose.
Tu Suminfei narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him: "Is it Uncle Gong?"
"I've already warned you that Gong is definitely not a good person."
Tu Subo suddenly uttered something puzzling, his expression a bit strange. Upon closer thought, he realized that Tu Suminfei's actions were not particularly glorious. He hesitated for a moment, then uttered a four-word warning in a heavy tone: "Watch out for your father."
When Tu Su Min Fei first stepped into the gambling house, Uncle Gong keenly sensed the rift between father and son, and openly stood on Tu Su Min Fei's side, helping him suppress Tu Su's second uncle, making the second uncle live an extremely miserable life under Tu Su Min Fei's control.
However, the situation was now very different.
Tu Su Minfei is young but ruthless, and he treats his own father as well. His attitude towards outsiders is as cold and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
The foundation Uncle Gong had painstakingly built over the years was gradually being shaken by him. Seeing Tu Su Minfei's immense favor and increasing importance within the gambling house, his initial admiration for him had turned to deep fear. Those who had once aided Tu Su Minfei could now become swords piercing his heart.
The road ahead is uncertain and full of variables.
Tu Su Minfei was not a stupid person, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
Tu Subo casually tossed him a small, delicate token and said calmly, "Your every move cannot escape Uncle Gong's scrutiny. Even those subordinates you rely on may not remain loyal to you."
"I have deployed several reliable assistants in the city. If you encounter any trouble, you may go to them."
A complex expression flashed across Tu Suminfei's eyes. He glanced at Tu Subo meaningfully, pursed his lips, and whispered, "I'll keep it in mind."
"Cheng Lianhe is not someone you can easily deal with. You are dancing with wolves, so be careful what you do."
Tu Subo responded but said nothing more.
Cheng Jing'en looked at Tu Suminfei riding away on his horse, his face full of confusion and emotion.
"What kind of wonderful drama did I miss when I was unaware? You actually start to care about each other now?"
Cheng Jing'en was stunned, as if he had witnessed an incredible sight. His mouth dropped open as he stammered, "I always thought you two brothers would never reconcile. I even imagined you killing each other. But what's going on now? How did you suddenly develop a brotherly bond?"
Tu Subo felt a pang of disgust when he heard him spout a string of "brotherhood" in a rapid-fire manner. He responded unhappily, "I told you, things are not as simple as you think."
Cheng Jingen, like a curious baby, kept asking, "So how did you go from hating each other to appreciating each other?"
Cheng Jingen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, scratching his head and cheeks: "Brother, I'm so curious that I'm going crazy!"
"Didn't you two become enemies in Kyoto, almost coming to blows?!"
"We never really fought each other, nor did we have the life-and-death struggle you imagine."
He and Tu Sumin did dislike each other in the past few years, but that was just a private family matter behind closed doors.
Be united externally and argue behind closed doors. No one else can interfere in matters of life or death.
Tu Subo looked at Cheng Jingen helplessly and said in a cold tone, "Besides, what does this have to do with you?"
"Are you a gossipy woman who likes to spread rumors?"
