Chapter 49: Undercover Liu Feng wasn’t sad, she was just a little disappointed…
Luo Wan woke up to find herself lying in Qingyun's small pharmacy, a place she always remembered. The place she was lying on was the bed where the pharmacist usually tested herbal medicine.
Qingyun was facing away from her at this moment, concentrating on fiddling with the herbs in the medicine furnace.
The pungent smell of medicine filled the small space. Luo Wan frowned uncomfortably. Just as he was about to raise his hand to cover his nose, the injury on his back was affected.
Although the wound has healed to about 70% under Qingyun's treatment, unconscious large movements inevitably pull on the wound.
Luo Wan took an almost inaudible breath.
Qingyun heard the noise and turned around: "He's awake."
Luo Wan nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the bowl of thick black medicine juice brought by Qingyun, and a bitter smell hit him in the face.
Qingyun handed it to Luo Wan and said, "Drink it."
It turned out that the unpleasant smell was emitted by this unknown product. Luo Wan asked, "What is this?"
Qingyun said: "Medicine."
Luo Wan took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The bitterness rising in her throat made her want to vomit. She lowered her eyes and saw Qingyun handing her another piece of something. "What is this?"
Qingyun said, "Sugar."
The taste of this medicine was truly vile, and since she knew Qingyun and Liufeng were good friends, she peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth without much thought.
The sweetness gradually diluted the bitterness, making her tense brows relax slightly.
Luo Wan was a little surprised: "Commander Qingyun also prepares candy for patients?"
In Luo Wan's memory, Qingyun was a taciturn person who devoted himself to studying medicine and never got involved in other things.
He is like the sealed medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, staying quietly in his own corner.
Compared with other commanders, his sense of existence is zero, to the extent that one would not even remember his existence unless he was sick.
In his previous life, even after Luo Wan ascended to the position of lord, his interactions with him remained limited. He was oblivious to the world outside, spending his days in the small pharmacy, where the bottles and jars seemed to pique his interest more than living people.
Presumably, after she died in her previous life, Chu Lin would not have made things difficult for him.
Qingyun, holding the medical book, heard this and said without even looking up, "Your shadow is here."
Luo Wan's expression darkened. Seeing him rummaging through the pile of herbs, he turned and asked, "Commander Qingyun, do you have any research on detoxification?"
Qingyun said: "I have done some research."
When he says he has done a little research, it means he has done a lot of research. Just like when he says "a minor injury", it often means his life is hanging by a thread.
Luo Wan acted as if nothing had happened, as if it was just a casual remark, and said lightly: "Every time the host fights with Lei Yuanjie and gets injured, it is you who detoxifies her?"
Qingyun said: "I have never detoxified her."
“…”
Qingyun's medicine was indeed effective very quickly. After drinking it and regulating my breathing for a while, I felt my whole body was as light and healthy as usual, as if a huge rock pressing on me had been lifted off my body.
Luo Wan got out of bed and walked around. She didn't feel the weak gait she'd felt after the injury, and her back wasn't hurting anymore. She stretched her muscles and bones, confirming that her injuries were no longer serious.
Luo Wan said: "Thank you for these days, Commander Qingyun."
Qingyun said: "If you want to thank someone, thank Liufeng. He begged me for it."
As Luo Wan left her place of concern, dusk was deepening and snow was falling. The cold wind blew a few snowflakes towards her, landing on the tip of her nose and melting immediately.
She did not return to her own residence, but went straight to Liufeng's residence.
There were only a few dim candles lit in the room, and the dim light shone through the window paper.
When Luo Wan heard the conversation, she subconsciously slowed down her pace. Among them was a strange male voice that she had never heard before.
Liu Feng's voice was a little impatient: "I've told you so many times, I can't persuade you, I can't persuade you, please stop bothering me."
The man said, "Grandmaster Liu said the situation in the capital is turbulent and the Crown Prince is ready to take action. We can't wait any longer."
When she heard this name, Luo Wan was in a trance for a moment. She looked around and made sure that she was in Tingyu Tower, not the capital.
It was too unbelievable to hear the three words "Master Liu" in Tingyu Tower, let alone in Liufeng Room.
Why are two people who should have nothing in common involved?
Liu Feng said, "Even if the sky in the capital falls, there's nothing I can do. Ah Si won't go back, what can I do? Tie him up and bring him back to the capital?"
Ah Si, Ah Si.
Beiye Si.
Incredible conjectures suddenly emerged, like carp breaking through the ice in winter.
It turns out that Liu Feng had known Chu Lin's identity for a long time. It turns out that Liu Feng and Chu Lin were both undercover agents hidden in Tingyu Tower, and they were together.
Her self-righteous master-disciple relationship was based on deception.
Liu Zong's tolerance towards her and Liu Feng's preference for him all came from Chu Lin.
Because of Chu Lin, they were willing to give some charity.
She must have looked like a fool to them.
Stupid and naive, ridiculous and pathetic.
"Awan."
Luo Wan looked back as if he had realized something.
Chu Lin walked out from the snow, with fine snow falling on his black hair. His eyes were as clean and clear as the warm sunshine in spring.
The people in the house seemed to have heard the noise outside. After a series of ding-dong sounds, there was the sound of a window being opened, and then Liufeng walked out of the house as if nothing had happened.
Liu Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Wanwan, are you awake? How do you feel? Does your back still hurt? You really surprised me. I didn't expect your martial arts skills to be as good as mine. Chu Lin said you are really strong. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I believe it, hahaha."
After quietly listening to Liu Feng's halfhearted greetings, Luo Wan said, "I came to thank the commander for persuading Qingyun to treat me."
Liu Feng said, "No need, no need! You are my favorite disciple. If Qingyun doesn't heal you, who else can he heal?"
Luo Wan said abruptly: "I already knew Chu Lin's identity when I was in the capital."
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Lin hesitantly. It was obvious that Chu Lin had not told him about his identity being exposed after returning to Tingyu Tower.
He realized it later and said, "It's not a big deal. Xiao Wanwan wouldn't tell on us, right, Xiao Wanwan? Besides, since you know Chu Lin's identity, you should know that entering Tingyu Tower was not his wish. The people in the palace are cruel and ruthless. Imperial Tutor Liu sent him to Tingyu Tower just because he wanted him to grow up safely."
Luo Wan asked, "Then why are you in Tingyu Tower?"
Ever since Luo Wan entered Tingyu Tower, Liu Feng had already been a third-rank assassin here. Seven years later, Chu Lin appeared as a shadow.
Advancing from level one to level three is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight.
After a pause, Liu Feng said, "I have always been an undercover agent planted by Master Liu in Tingyu Tower, gathering information for him."
Liu Zong is truly far-sighted.
Luo Wan nodded in understanding and said, "I just want to know one thing. Was it you who arranged for him to become my shadow?"
The wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger. At this time, a thick layer of snow had piled up on the branches, and the air was filled with a fresh and sharp scent.
After a long while, Liu Feng slowly spoke: "Yes."
After giving this answer, Luo Wan's reaction was calmer than they had imagined. No anger, no questioning, not even a frown.
She just stood there quietly, her posture straight, her expression calm, her eyes cold and distant.
Like the green plums covered with snow in the mountains, fragile yet stubborn.
Luo Wan said nothing and nodded faintly.
If Tan Yin were alive, she would be very happy. She repeatedly accused Liu Feng of favoritism, but it was just him taking advantage of Luo Wan. Those so-called "favoritism" all had a clear purpose.
It's been a lie from the beginning, the shadow, the master and the apprentice, the position of the host. It's all fake, all lies.
Among the three people, she was the only one who enjoyed it and was fooled around.
The saddest thing was that even after a new life, she was still kept in the dark. She even didn't want Liu Feng to worry about her relationship with Chu Lin, so she pretended nothing happened.
So disgusting.
When she is not stingy with her sincerity, fate always gives her a blow.
She wasn't sad, she was just a little disappointed.

In the small kitchen.
Thick, choking smoke rolled out from the wood stove. Liufeng squatted there, covered in dust and dirt, coughing uncontrollably.
It is hard to imagine that the third-level commander of Tingyu Tower, a warrior who usually deals with swords and guns, was defeated in front of a small firewood stove.
Liu Feng said, "The last time Xiao Wan ignored me was about a year ago. I accidentally broke her sword during a sparring match."
Chu Lin took the wontons out of the pot and said, "This time is not like last time. She is really unhappy."
Liu Feng pushed Chu Lin, and the charcoal ash on his hands left a few black marks on Chu Lin's sleeves: "Go quickly, go quickly, send it to Xiao Wanwan, and be sure to tell her that I spent a lot of effort to cook this!"
Chu Lin said: "You're not going?"
Liu Feng sighed and said, "I did have some selfish motives back then. Among that group of assassins, she was the most talented and had the best chance of becoming the building owner. She was tenacious and strong, so I let you choose her. I really used her to my advantage. Forget it, I'm sorry for her. Let her cool down first, and then I'll go see her."

Luo Wan returned to the house and quietly studied the book "A Hundred Poison Solutions" by candlelight. The candlelight cast a flickering light and shadow on her face, outlining her profile with exceptional clarity.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Chu Lin came in with a bowl of steaming wontons.
Chu Lin said in a gentle voice: "Eat it while it's hot. Liu Feng made it himself."
Luo Wan's eyes fell on the ugly little wonton.
Chu Lin said, "It's not his intention to deceive you. As you can see, he is an undercover agent planted here. Everyone in Tingyu Tower is his enemy. He dare not easily tell his identity to anyone. If he is not careful, he will be doomed."
Luo Wan said: "You don't have to tell me this, it's your business. Since I promised you not to tell anyone, I will keep my promise."
Chu Lin said, "I'm very sorry about this. I always make you feel wronged. Those people advised me to return to the capital, but I have decided not to go back. For me, there is only suspicion and jealousy there."
He held Luo Wan's dry, warm hand and said, "Ah Wan, come back with me to Miaojiang. That's my mother's hometown. We should never care about these troubles again."
Luo Wan was lost in thought, and only now was he able to think carefully about the conversation between the man and Liu Feng. Liu Zong persuaded Chu Lin to return to the capital simply for the throne.
In his previous life, it was Bei Yeji's ascension to the throne that led to Shen Zhiyan's death. If Chu Lin had ascended the throne, he might have let Shen Zhiyan go.
no.
If Chu Lin ascended the throne, wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to seek revenge?
What's more, there is an unknown number, Jiang Cichen. If there is no external force to stop him, he will be the one who unifies the world.
It is easy to keep Shen Zhiyan under Bei Ye Ji. As long as he can hold on until the Northern Kingdom is destroyed, Bei Ye Ji will not be able to issue an order to execute Shen Zhiyan.
But it is almost impossible to keep Shen Zhiyan under Jiang Cichen.
First, since Jiang Cichen is a traitor, he must hate the Northern Kingdom deeply; second, Shen Zhiyan must also hate traitors deeply.
Water and fire cannot coexist.
There is no way they can shake hands and make peace.
But right now, the most important thing for her is to gain freedom. Only with freedom can she have a chance to rescue Shen Zhiyan from the troubled times.
Luo Wan raised her head and looked at Chu Lin, her eyes still as bright as when they first met.
Luo Wan said: "I want to be the host."
