"Calm down, calm down." Su Nuannuan pried open her husband's fingers one by one: "Let's listen to what Donglou has to say first, don't rush to sentence him to death."
"Sister-in-law is really sensible." Su Donglou was grateful with tears in his eyes, but he heard Su Nuannuan continue: "If he doesn't say good things, it won't be too late to strangle him to death."
Su Donglou: ...
"What I mean is, let Lu Fengyu take my wife and I to Shenxian Ridge. I'll be with you all the way, what are you afraid of? As long as we leave Hangzhou, you can follow us, and then we can all go to Shenxian Ridge together and subdue that guy by surprise. From then on, hehe... whether to kill him, chop him up, or do something else, isn't it all up to us? Of course, this matter must be planned carefully, and we must try to subdue all those hidden pawns, and we must not let the King of Xiangyang know."
"Well! If we can really know the secret of Shenxian Ridge, it doesn't matter whether the King of Xiangyang finds out or not, right? He doesn't have any troops anyway, and if we reveal his trump card, he won't be able to jump over the wall even if he wants to. What are we worried about?"
Su Nuannuan spread her hands. Her opinion was unanimously affirmed by Su Donglou and Duan Tingxuan, so Su Donglou said goodbye and left, secretly preparing to leave.
"Did you discover that someone went to investigate Shenxian Ridge?"
Lu Fengyu closed the letter in his hand, his brows were heavy, and after a while, he stood up from the couch, put his hands behind his back and paced. After a while, he stood still, thought for a while, went to the table, wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it out by pigeon.
Three days later, Su Donglou, who had not found any movement from Lu Fengyu, could no longer hold his temper and sent another group of people to Shenxianling. Then came the third and fourth groups, but to no avail. Lu Fengyu was still as stable as a rock.
"This venomous snake is damn difficult to deal with. Even stomping on the grass like this can't move him."
Su Donglou was angry and helpless. Seeing that a month had passed, he finally found Lu Fengyu and said directly as soon as he entered the door: "You know, the Wang Niangzi and her husband have a younger brother. He is still in my house. Since I knew their identities, I have been keeping an eye on this kid, but yesterday this kid actually got rid of the people who followed him. He is nowhere to be found. According to the direction reported by my subordinates, I suspect he went to Shenxian Ridge."
"Did you go to Shenxianling?"
Lu Fengyu finally couldn't remain calm anymore, he stood up and said with a serious face: "They actually sent out the only person they brought with them? Could it be that they really found something from Shenxian Ridge?"
Su Donglou also said: "It's hard to say. Since you told me that Shenxian Ridge has our biggest trump card, I have also deployed some people around there. In the past month, it is said that there are suddenly more unfamiliar faces there. I thought that you can't be without precautions in that place. Since you don't say anything, why should I interfere? It would be bad if I disrupted your plan, but now it seems that I was too careless."
"It's none of your business." Lu Fengyu waved his hand. "As you said. How could I not have people there? The Feng Gu you met last time was just one of them. My people also found those unfamiliar faces, but I calculated that it was impossible for anyone to know the secret of Shenxian Ridge. So such a high-profile test was probably just a trick to alert the enemy, so I ignored them."
Su Donglou was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Fengyu could see through the plan he and Duan Tingxuan had carefully planned. What a monster! How dare he sit back and relax?
He cursed in anger in his heart, but said with relief on his face: "So that's how it is. You are really amazing. I almost lost my temper. In that case, I don't care anymore. Let them do whatever they want. I wonder how many people did the couple bring with them when they went to Jiangnan? How did they spread the news? Lord Lu, didn't you send someone to watch over them?"
Lu Fengyu glared at him and snorted, "The couple are both cunning and shrewd. If I send someone to watch them, they will find out in the blink of an eye. Anyway, I think they have been delayed here for a long time. If they don't get some valuable information, they will not be willing to leave, so I just let them go."
"How dare you be so sure?" Su Donglou was really shocked: it turned out that in addition to being cunning and insidious, the venomous snake's confidence was unmatched.
"Of course I'm sure of that." Lu Fengyu smiled proudly, "If they stayed in Jiangnan for ten days or half a month and found that this trip was dangerous, they might have withdrawn in a hurry. But now that they have been delayed for so many days, how can they be willing to retreat without getting some valuable information? It's like a gambler. It's okay if they restrain their greed at the beginning, but the longer they stay, the deeper they get stuck. They won't come out until they make a profit. Even if they make a profit, they still hope to make another fortune, but in the end they can only lose everything."
Su Donglou looked at Lu Fengyu with a complicated expression. He had to admit that this guy really saw through people's hearts. However, this was not the time to admire him. He was uneasy in his heart, so he whispered to him, "So, I should just leave Shenxian Ridge alone, lest they alert the enemy."
"No, this is a different situation. Since the people around Duan Tingxuan have been dispatched, it seems that they have discovered something in Shenxian Ridge. I will never allow this."
Lu Fengyu stood up and paced a few steps, his face serious. Suddenly he stopped and said, "In this case, let's go to Shenxianling. First, we can see what the situation is like, which is better than being suspicious here. Second, I also want to alert the enemy and test how much Duan Tingxuan knows. How did he know about Shenxianling?"
At this point, the fellow suddenly revealed a thoughtful expression and glanced at Su Donglou calmly.
Su Donglou was pretending to lower his head in deep thought, but when he sensed the quick glances, he was startled and realized that Lu Fengyu might be suspicious of him again. So after a few thoughts in his mind, he raised his head and said solemnly, "I'm also very curious. Do you think that Long Pingzhang left some clues before he died? Now they have finally found them. Since you killed Long Pingzhang at the risk of being suspected by the emperor, he must have some important clues in his hands, right? How do you know if there is some secret way for them to communicate with each other?"
"Hmm! You're right. Now it seems that this is the case." Lu Fengyu was relieved and thought to himself that he was too suspicious. If Su Donglou was a member of Duan Tingxuan's group, he would never reveal his identity. Although Long Pingzhang was dead, he was a wise and meticulous person. Maybe he left some clues before he died, and it was unknown if Duan Tingxuan got them. After all, he also found out about the people in Shenxianling.
