Su Xiaozhong noticed the look in his wife's eyes and was startled. "Chunhua, what's that look?"
"If you sit in that position, will you not care about the people?"
"Of course, but that position is not comfortable to sit in." Su Xiaozhong sighed sincerely.
At that time, Su Xiaozhong had neither the support nor the power, so it was naturally not easy for him to gain a good position.
"It would be nice for our family to live a good life and be a wealthy master in this life." Su Xiaozhong said.
Mother Su nodded in agreement.
In the ear room, Su's mother was looking after her grandmother, while the father and daughter were inquiring about the news outside.
Just as they reached the Chuihua Gate, Qu Da came hurriedly. Seeing the father and daughter, he greeted them and said hurriedly, "Miss, Nan Wu just sent a letter to you."
Su Yin took the letter and her expression changed slightly after reading its contents.
"When did he leave?"
"A cup of tea ago."
Su Xiaozhong asked, "What happened?"
"Nangong Jingzhi sent me a letter to say goodbye. He will be leaving Shangjing City for the time being."
If he left Shangjing City at this time, he would most likely follow in the footsteps of his previous life and die in this plague.
Didn't she remind him before not to go out during this period and to stay in Shangjing City as much as possible? Why did he want to go out again now?
Regarding the plague, he should have more clues than I do.
No matter what, she must save her friend Nangong Jingzhi.
I can't just watch him die.
How could I just stand by and watch when I had a chance to save him?
Su Yin led the horse out of the stable and ran towards the city gate.
Nangong Jingzhi, ah, Nangong Jingzhi, you have to walk slower.
After hurrying as fast as they could, they finally arrived at the city gate, but there was no sign of Nangong Jingzhi. Could it be that he had already left the city?
Su Yin looked at the city gate that only allowed exit but not entry, with a frown on her face.
After some consideration, Su Yin was about to leave the city gate to chase after him when a voice came from behind.
"Miss Su."
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yin turned her head and her eyes fell on Nan Liu who was fifty meters behind her.
As soon as Su Yin saw Nan Liu, he got off the horse and walked quickly to him, asking anxiously, "Where is your master?"
Nan Liu glanced around and lowered his voice, "Miss Su, please follow me."
The two men left the city gate one after the other, turned into an alley, and then made several turns and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.
Nan Liu knocked on the gate rhythmically and regularly. The people in the yard opened the wooden door. After seeing Su Yin and Nan Liu, they turned sideways to let the two in. The other party led the horse to the tree in the courtyard and tied it up.
Su Yin followed Nan Liu into the house, passed through the main hall, and entered the inner room. There was a smell of medicine in the house. Nangong Jingzhi, who was supposed to have left Shangjing City, was lying on the bed with a pale face and a bandage on his shoulder.
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and looked at the person who was coming. After seeing who it was clearly, a smile appeared on his pale face.
"What's going on?"
Su Yin walked forward and looked over his shoulder.
Nangong Jingzhi waved to the other people in the room, and Nan Wu, Nan Liu and others left one after another, leaving only the two of them in the room.
"Don't worry. I'm fine."
Nangong Jingzhi sat up, and Su Yin stuffed the pillow behind his back to make him more comfortable.
"My family assigned me to go north. As soon as I left the city, I thought of what you said before, and immediately turned around and headed back."
"What's the matter with your injuries?"
"On the way back, we were ambushed and got hit."
"It seems that someone in your family doesn't want you to return to Shangjing City alive."
Nangong Jingzhi smiled bitterly, "If your status and ability are not equal, you will be fine if you meet a wise master. But if you meet a narrow-minded master, you will be in danger of death."
Su Yin probably understood.
Nangong Jingzhi is a side branch, not a direct descendant.
His abilities were too outstanding, far surpassing those of his direct descendants, and the people of this direct lineage did not want him to continue living, so they tried every means to save his life.
Now that the direct line of the Nangong family is not a wise leader, I'm afraid he will have a hard time staying in the Nangong family.
"Have you ever thought about joining other forces? With your abilities, I think some forces would be happy to accept you."
Nangong Jingzhi shook his head. "That person's health is getting weaker and weaker, and the princes such as the Qin King, Yun King, and Jing King are all eyeing the dragon throne. Most of the officials in the court have taken sides. Once I defect to them, it's like choosing a faction. If it works, I will naturally rise to prominence. If it doesn't, I will be doomed forever."
"The fight for imperial power is brutal, and it's unclear whether we can make it to the end."
Nangong Jingzhi was telling the truth.
"Is there no neutral faction that firmly upholds the imperial power?"
"Yes. Duke Su is a staunch supporter of the imperial power and is only loyal to the emperor. No one can win him over. But unfortunately, there is only one duke and his newly adopted grandson left in the Duke Su's mansion. No one knows what abilities the grandson has. If he has no abilities, the lineage of Duke Su will come to an end."
"I promised you before that I would help you find the whereabouts of your brother. I'm afraid this matter will have to be put on hold for now." Nangong Jingzhi looked apologetic.
He had vaguely felt the rejection of him by the direct lineage before, and previously thought it was just because of the difference between the direct lineage and the collateral lineage. Now that such a thing has happened, if he continues to pretend not to see it, that would be a way to his death.
He now has to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with the open and covert attacks from his direct line, and he has to gather his own men and try to find the whereabouts of the people, but he is afraid that he is powerless.
"It's okay. It would be great if you can find it. If you can't, that's okay. I recently heard about an organization that seems to be quite powerful. Maybe they have a way to find it." Su Yin understood his current situation. He couldn't even protect himself, so she understood his helplessness.
"What organization?"
"Dark Chamber." Su Yin said two words, "Have you heard of it?"
This was the organization that Su Yin heard about from Heng Youyi yesterday. From what Heng Youyi said, the intelligence of this organization was quite powerful.
Nangong Jingzhi nodded, "I've heard of it, but I don't recommend you touch the Dark Pavilion."
"reason."
"It is rumored that the real controller behind the Dark Chamber is someone from the royal family, but no one has found out which member of the royal family it is."
Could it be that the organization my father mentioned before was the Dark Cabinet?
If this is true, then leaving the task of finding my brother to the Dark Chamber might be dangerous.
I hope that by the time I find my brother I won’t be able to find him and instead I’ll kill off the whole family.
"Of course, your family has nothing to do with the royal family, so you can't get involved, so it's okay. However, I have heard about the dark cabinet robbing each other."
"Black eating black?"
Nangong Jingzhi nodded, "Someone once offered a high price for the enemy's head, but the people in the Dark Chamber were attracted by the wealth of the person offering the bounty. Although they killed the enemy for the person offering the bounty, they also killed the person offering the bounty."
So explosive!
"Few people know about this. If it is not necessary, do not show off your wealth. The people in the dark chamber are cruel and ruthless. If you encounter someone who does not follow the rules, I am afraid..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
