A few days later, the Battle of Qingzhou broke out, and the Emperor of Nanchang sent General Li Song to lead 30,000 troops and food to support Qingzhou.
After reading the secret report from the front, Lu Huan said calmly, "Yan Xuanye has prepared all his food and supplies, and has rested outside Qingzhou for a few days. I think everything is ready, and it won't be difficult to capture Qingzhou."
Zhong Cang: "Master, what are you going to do?"
Lu Huan said calmly, "What can I do? The emperor didn't send me to fight, so I will naturally rest well in the mansion and watch the fight from the mountain."
"By the way, how's Gao Jiarong doing?"
Zhong Cang: "I heard from Ziyun that she was sad for a long time after she returned, and she was so weak that she couldn't even get out of bed. The emperor sent a royal physician to treat her, and she has been feeling better these days. But..."
Lu Huan turned back: "But what?"
Zhong Cang: "She didn't take care of herself. As soon as she felt better, she insisted on kneeling before the Buddha and praying for General Lu Guang, hoping that he could ascend to heaven soon."
Lu Huan sneered, "She's asking for her own death, let her go."
"Yes, I will take my leave first."
As soon as Zhong Cang opened the door, Lu Huan met Su Qian who was standing outside. She was wearing green men's clothes and her hair was tied up, looking more heroic than usual.
For some reason, Zhong Cang noticed that the atmosphere between the two people was a bit weird. He didn't dare to look at Su Qian for too long. He bowed to her and walked out.
Seeing that she didn't come in, Lu Huan asked, "Why don't you come in?"
Su Qian held her breath, feeling that he had deceived her. She didn't want to talk to him at the moment, but if she didn't ask, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
She stepped over the threshold, walked silently to the seat next to him and sat down without saying a word.
Lu Huan looked at her for a long time. Seeing that she ignored him, he knew that she had heard what he had just said to Zhong Cang.
He retracted his gaze, took a sip of tea calmly, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you keep it in your heart, the only one who will feel uncomfortable is you, not me."
Su Qian turned back to look at him angrily, and she became even angrier when she saw him calmly drinking his tea, his expression impassive. "Do you remember what you promised me?"
Lu Huan put down the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk cloth, and then said calmly, "Remember."
Su Qian: "Remember? I see you don't remember. Do you want me to help you recall it again?"
"Lu Huan, did you do this on purpose? You deliberately tricked me into going with you, but you actually had no intention of helping me, right?"
"You just want to see me get caught up in this, listen to your commands, and then let me discover the truth on my own and realize that I've been deceived, so you can watch me make a fool of myself, right?"
"Or... do you still want to kill me? Or... do you want to use me again, to lure Yan Xuanye and me into your trap, so that he can attack the Nanchang Kingdom. You don't have to do anything, you can just sit back and reap the benefits, right?"
Lu Huan listened to her finish speaking silently, then glanced at her with a complicated expression, "Are you done?"
Su Qian's face turned pale: "That's it."
Lu Huan: "Then it's my turn to speak."
He turned sideways, looked directly at Su Qian, stretched out his left hand, and with just a little effort, pulled Su Qian into his arms.
Su Qian was angry and didn't want to play along with him, so she struggled and moved around.
Lu Huan held her down with a harsh tone, his voice brooking no refusal, "Don't move!"
Su Qian raised her eyes and looked at him fiercely, "If you have something to say, just say it. You are not a hero if you use violence."
Lu Huan said confidently, "I'm not a hero, haven't you always known that? I'm just a black-hearted person, I'm very bad..."
Su Qian: "Yes! That's right, you are a white-cut black. I guess I was wrong."
He paused for two seconds, then asked, "What is white-cut black?"
"Why do you always say things I don't understand? Sometimes, I am really curious."
Su Qian: "What are you curious about?"
"I'm curious about the strange things you said, but... I'm more curious about you."
I'm curious about how you know these strange words, where you come from and where you are going.
Why are you different from everyone else, or everyone else?
Su Qian: “…”
He leaned closer to Su Qian, his tone seeming to seduce her, "How about this, you tell me what white cutting black means, and I will tell you what my plan is."
"how?"
Su Qian carefully savored his expression and words, "Really?"
"You didn't lie to me?"
Lu Huan: "It's up to you whether you want to exchange this secret or not."
What he meant was that he would not force her to say it, and it was up to her to decide whether to say it or not.
But Su Qian knew that if she wanted to understand what Lu Huan was thinking and what he was doing, she had to make this deal with him.
Fortunately, this transaction is just like playing a game, not a very important matter, even exchanging with him is not a big deal.
However, she was always led by him and walked forward, feeling somewhat unwilling.
"Okay, then I'll be merciful and tell you."
Lu Huan looked at her proud expression and smiled suddenly, "Okay, go ahead."
Su Qian: "The meaning of the phrase 'white cut black' is, as the name suggests, it's something white, but when you cut it open, you'll find that its inside is... actually, black."
She said word by word: "Lu Huan, you are such a person."
"You are a combination of white and black. You appear kind and gentle on the outside, but you are dark and cold on the inside. If someone doesn't know you well, they will definitely be deceived. I was deceived by you that way before."
"Even though I have a general understanding of what kind of person you are, I still often fall into your traps, get deceived, and deceived by you. You are so treacherous that I have to be on guard, and it is difficult for me to trust you."
As he spoke, Su Qian forgot to endure.
She acted impulsively and had a good argument for a while, but when she came to her senses, she realized that she had offended Lu Huan.
As for Lu Huan, he is not as easy to talk to as Yan Xuanye. He has to flatter and please him and cannot offend him.
Otherwise... at best you will fail to complete the mission, at worst you will lose your life.
Lu Huan was silent for a long time. He was a little annoyed, but he didn't know how to vent his anger.
He originally just wanted to know what "white cut black" meant, but he didn't expect to hear her true words.
In her heart, he was a sinister person. She had to be on guard against him and it was hard for her to trust him.
These are her true words.
Lu Huan looked at her sternly. Faced with her sincere words, he felt like he had punched soft cotton, with no place to vent his anger.
"Are you finished now?"
Su Qian shrank her head like a quail and said, "That's all."
Lu Huan took a sip of cold tea and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "Then it's my turn to speak."
