I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1247 tells the Empress, "Stay away from the girl."
In the end, Su Chang'an ate with his apprentice.

However, with him, Kuyue, and others around, it's only natural that these few pounds of meat seem a bit too little.

But Da Mengzi reached into her bag and pulled out a silver ingot, weighing at least five or six taels, and said to the shopkeeper, "Give me a few more pounds."

Su Chang'an fell silent. This disciple was the right choice!

Kuyue was envious, and then the chubby boy started to have his own ideas.

However, when Su Chang'an learned that it was Dugu Ruyuan who had treated Da Mengzi to the meal, he was shocked.

Su Chang'an was puzzled.

However, after listening to Da Mengzi listen to everything word for word, especially when he heard "coming from the people and going back to the people," Su Chang'an, who was eating mutton, didn't know what to say.

He said this to Su Linhan.

But he himself has forgotten what they were talking about at the time; he just said it offhand.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that people in this world like to overthink.

He wondered if Lord Dugu would cause any trouble.

Before leaving, Wu Dameng bought two more catties of mutton and some mutton soup for Grandpa Luo.

Nowadays in Beijing, thanks to the so-called "takeout" service of Qingya Shuzhai, the entire food industry has followed suit, and everyone has their own way of packing and delivering takeout and delivery for customers, so there is no longer any fear of the mutton soup spilling.

On the way, Su Chang'an couldn't help but ask Wu Dameng why she was so rich.

Upon hearing this, not only Kuyue, but even the cat shuffled away from Yu Kuangjuan to listen from behind Kuyue.

Wu Dameng chuckled and said that some of the money was from her previous arm wrestling match, while the rest was from Qingning, which she got from Liheng and they split 50/50.

Su Chang'an raised an eyebrow. Hmm?
Wu Dameng then began to explain, saying that apart from some of Su Liheng's money that was on the books or deposited in banks, a lot of it was all in Su Liheng's own yard, especially under his bed, which Su Liheng had almost dug into a big pit.

Su Liheng thought others didn't know, but in reality Su Qingning knew everything, and it was Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er who told her.

But Su Qingning couldn't move it, so she asked Wu Dameng to help carry it.

They didn't take much, only a dozen or so taels at a time.

The first time, Wu Dameng felt that this was not a good idea.

But Su Qingning told her, "We sisters earned this through our own abilities, and we even went through a lot of hard work. Tell me, didn't we get it through our hard work and brainpower?"

Wu Dameng felt that she was right.

However, she wasn't completely unnoticed. After Su Liheng discovered her, he immediately rushed to find Su Qingning.

As a result, Su Qingning started crying in front of Su Liheng, and even pulled Wu Dameng to cry with her.

Su Liheng was helpless; what could he do?

So they acquiesced.

Even now, Su Liheng has divided the money and delivered it to Su Qingning and Wu Dameng, but Su Qingning has told Wu Dameng not to accept it.

The reason is simple: you can't take money that you didn't earn by doing any work.

This infuriated Su Liheng.

He hides money every day, but Su Qingning always finds it.

After listening to Wu Dameng's explanation, Su Chang'an was speechless. But he understood that Li Heng was willing to accept this arrangement, since Qing Ning had always taken money from Li Heng, but Li Heng had never changed his position.

just
Su Chang'an pondered, "Wouldn't it be too shameless of me to join? This is much more lucrative than hiding my money little by little. Sure enough, crooked paths are good."

But thinking about this...

Su Chang'an's expression froze for a moment. What's wrong with hiding his private stash of money in the Su family mansion?

However, after thinking about it, Su Chang'an shook his head again, thinking that his wife would probably be worried if she couldn't find him.

Chatting along the way.

When Su Chang'an arrived at Grandpa Luo's stall, he noticed that the old man was chatting with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was only of the fourth rank in strength, with a long sword hanging at his waist and a bamboo hat on his back. At first glance, he perfectly matched the image of a swordsman in a folk novel.

When Su Chang'an carried Wu Dameng over, Luo Changfeng saw her and immediately laughed, looking at the middle-aged swordsman beside him and saying, "Come, come, little Sun, this is my disciple, and the big fat girl in his arms is my grand-disciple."

The old man beamed, speaking casually and with obvious pride.

The middle-aged swordsman looked at Su Chang'an, who was wearing a celestial fox mask, and then glanced at Wu Dameng, Kuyue, and the others.

With his abilities, he couldn't possibly discern their strength.

But he also knew what Old Master Luo was like in the past, so he didn't dwell on the issue of strength. He stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sun Chengwu."

Having said that, he looked at Su Chang'an and smiled, "Come to think of it, I should call you 'Uncle-Master'."

Su Chang'an smiled and said, "Su Xinghe."

Then he glanced at Grandpa Luo.

The old man laughed and said, "No need for so many formalities, no need to call me 'Uncle-Master' or anything like that. You're older, let's just stick to our own way of speaking."

Sun Chengwu, being a straightforward person, chuckled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Although I don't have any great skills, just come to me if you need anything!"

Having said that, he realized it was inappropriate for him to stay any longer. He bowed, said to Luo Changfeng that he would come to see him again next time, and then left.

As Sun Chengwu left, Grandpa Luo scooped Wu Dameng into his arms and exclaimed, "Oh my, this chubby little girl!"

Su Chang'an smiled as he placed the plum wine and mutton on the table, then looked at Luo Changfeng and said, "You know she can't go out because of her health, but she asked me to give you this wine. She said it's hot and this is refreshing. If you like it, I'll bring it to you every few days."

Grandpa Luo was actually much older than before. He squinted at Su Chang'an's profile, who was wearing a mask and holding his grand-disciple in his arms, while looking at the carefully prepared plum wine.

Everyone has their own mundane life, and Luo Changfeng would always ask himself, what have I done to deserve this blessing in my old age after making so many wrong choices in my life?

But his face was plastered with smiles.

I'm so happy!

Luo Changfeng watched as Ku Yue ate the mutton without any hesitation, shook his head but didn't stop her. Instead, he looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I heard she wasn't feeling well before. I asked Li Xizhi, and that kid said she's fine and told me not to ask anyone else. I'm sure she's alright."

Su Chang'an said, "She's fine, but her body needs more rest, so I made her rest for two days."

The old man took a sip of plum wine, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Wow, this wine is delicious!"

But upon hearing his apprentice's words, he raised one eye and looked at him: "Bullshit!"

Su Chang'an pouted: "I'm the boss at home!"

The old man scoffed, showing no respect for his apprentice. "You think you can call the shots in your family?" he said.

Su Chang'an was displeased and immediately asked, "Stop associating with the Old Celestial Master, you've all been corrupted!"

The old man laughed, put some mutton on Wu Dameng's and Kuyue's plates, ate a small piece himself, and then said, "I know about Yan Qi's matter. It's good that her wish has finally come true."

Su Chang'an paused for a moment, his expression hidden by the mask, but he nodded slightly.

The old man continued, "It's just like a distant river flowing to a distant mountain, leaving behind stories for us, the living."

After putting some meat on Su Chang'an's plate, the old man said, "At least you've seen him, that's good. It's better to leave with a smile than with tears in your eyes."

Su Chang'an poured wine for the old man: "I have to say, I'm quite moved." But after saying that, he looked at the old man and smiled: "Let's not talk about these things. Besides, you're already so old. If I make you think about these things for me and sigh all day long, you'll just look even older."

Luo Changfeng looked at Su Chang'an: "What nonsense! I have a lot more to wait for, how can I be old! Besides, I want to see our Da Mengzi enter the top ten in the world, to vent my anger. Huh? Why did you bring a book with you? Are you allergic to words?"

Noticing the book at Wu Dameng's waist, Luo Changfeng immediately picked it up to read it.

Wu Dameng shook his head: "It's because of the allergy! That's why I'm wearing the book to overcome it! Otherwise, I'll keep dozing off while reading, which isn't a good solution. I'm thinking of wearing it for the next three months. As time goes by, I'll get used to it and overcome the allergy! In addition, I also need to thoroughly master the walking posture of the Shenren Drum in these three months."

Su Chang'an smiled helplessly. He thought about bringing the book with him, but he just couldn't bring himself to read it. How could he overcome this?

Luo Changfeng naturally understood, but he gave Wu Dameng a thumbs up: "Amazing! Our lineage must have this ambition!"

But Luo Changfeng looked at Wu Dameng and said, "However, if you copy an article and write characters, and over time you write a lot of characters, does that count as a penny?"

Wu Dameng looked dejected, scratched her sleeve, and said, "But I can't write! I get sleepy as soon as I start. But I'll try my best!"

Why? Wu Dameng couldn't say, but when he tried to write it down, he just couldn't. However, it was the advisor's idea, and it was for his own good, so it was better not to say it directly.

Luo Changfeng laughed and said, "You silly girl, I just said it casually, but you took it to heart. So, shall we do it your way?"

Wu Dameng looked at the clerk and grinned, "Alright!"

Luo Changfeng looked at the chubby girl with a smile.

You should listen to what the elderly say, but not to everything they say, even if it's right.

There was once a young swordsman who received guidance from an old man and began practicing swordsmanship. He practiced with all his might, giving up many things in the process.

So today, this chubby little girl refuses my guidance and insists on following her own path.

Not much!
It's actually quite good.

However, Luo Changfeng looked at Wu Dameng and asked with a smile, "But you, little girl, do you know what kind of trouble can happen if you study too much?"

Wu Dameng blinked and shook his head, then looked at his master. "Reading too much can cause trouble?!"
I'm confused!
Luo Changfeng said, "The more principles you understand, the more tiring life becomes. When you do things, you're always fighting between different principles in your mind."

Wu Dameng said with a serious expression, "Master, I don't understand."

Luo Changfeng rubbed Wu Dameng's head: "If you don't understand, just write it down. Maybe one day when your mind goes blank, you'll suddenly understand."

Wu Dameng nodded seriously: "Okay!"

Luo Changfeng smiled and looked at Su Chang'an, "That person just now was the grandson of an old friend. He's a brainless idiot with only second-rank strength. In my youth, he was nothing. You could easily find several fourth or fifth-rank bandits making a living in those mountain bandit dens."

Once the topic was started, the old man continued talking.

Su Chang'an didn't disturb him, but listened quietly.

Kuyue was busy eating and didn't care about these things, while Ruyu, Kuangjuan, and Maomao sat quietly to the side.

Luo Changfeng said, "When I was in my twenties, I didn't plan to roam the martial world. Although I practiced swordsmanship, my mind was actually focused on how to make money. But somehow I managed to reach the seventh rank. Once, while doing business, I came to a village. Life in that village wasn't easy, but at least we had enough to eat and wouldn't starve to death. That's where I met Sun Qiming. He was over fifty years old, slovenly, and a swordsman with only a second-rank skill. He was very weak. When he saw that I was also a martial artist, he insisted on sparring with me. I knocked him down with one hand."

"But he was optimistic and always smiling. When he left the village, he said he was going to kill bandits on the nearby mountains. He said that if he didn't kill those bandits, the villagers would have an even harder time. I didn't care at the time, and he said he had invited other people to come with him, so I didn't take it to heart and just left."

"But halfway there, I realized there was no one else around. He probably didn't go alone, so I chased after him. A lot of bandits died, but when I got there, I found that only the strongest bandit, a fifth-rank one, was left. But he was full of energy."

"I watched him fight to a standstill with that fifth-rank fighter, and I thought he was hiding his strength, but I still made a move. After killing the bandit leader, I saw him with grass in his mouth, looking at me and smiling, asking me, 'Now you admit that swordsmen are more handsome than knife-wielders, right?' Before I could answer, he fell down."

"When I ran over, I found out he had a needle stuck in his head. A second-rank martial artist, breaking through his Baihui acupoint to kill a whole band of bandits—it makes me laugh just thinking about it. I was carrying him towards the village, but as soon as we reached the bandit stronghold, I knew he was done for. He told me to put him down, looked at me, and laughed. Then he said, 'I really envy people like you with such high martial arts talent,' and then added, 'Remember to finish him off; not all the bandits are dead.'"

“Looking at him, even though we’d only known each other for a few days, I asked, ‘Was it worth it? None of the villagers down the mountain know you saved them.’ He said, ‘It’s not like I wanted them to know. I just wanted to make this world a little cleaner. To let the children know that the world isn’t like this. Killing so many before I died, it was worth it!’”

At this point, Luo Changfeng smiled and looked at Su Chang'an: "Me too, I also took up a sword and entered the martial world back then. I started to pursue strength and wondered what I could do if I became stronger, but I just muddled through my life."

Luo Changfeng continued, "Sun Chengwu is that old man's grandson. He told me where his home was, and I took him home. Sometimes I'll go to his house to check on him and take care of him. However, I never expected that this kid would follow the same path as his grandfather, claiming to be a chivalrous hero everywhere. I don't know what he's thinking with his fourth-rank strength. He came to the capital this time just to join in the fun. He happened to see me a few days ago and came over to chat when he had some free time."

Luo Changfeng looked at everyone and chuckled, "As I get older, I like to talk about the past. I'll punish myself with a drink."

Yu Kuangjuan said, "That's how it should be for people in the martial world."

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass.

Su Chang'an looked at Luo Changfeng: "Master, the remnants of Rao Jiang are in the capital. They had contact with the Jiang family before. The Jiang family can contact the Su family. When I went there, I could smell the poison on many of the Su family's things. Fortunately, the Jiang family was cautious and did not let anyone else handle them, so they only smelled the poison but did not poison it. Otherwise, something really bad would have happened."

As they spoke, Su Chang'an poured wine for Luo Changfeng: "I know you don't want to go to the palace, you find the rules too strict and the people around you too annoying, and you don't want to go to the Su residence either, but this time it's more troublesome. After all, it was poisoning, and the perpetrators were in the shadows. Two days ago, we caught two people, but Lu Cai used all his interrogation methods, even skinning them alive, but still couldn't get anything out of them. However, those people stole some Gu worms from the Gu cave of that Gu Immortal Sect leader in Raojiang. One of them is called [Golden Silkworm]. Lu Cai said that the most poisonous one that the leader had was the Gu poison that his sect could only produce after reaching the highest level of cultivation."

Su Chang'an looked at Luo Changfeng: "Master, everything has been arranged at the Su family and other places, so it's safe. But I'd like you to stay in the palace for a while."

Luo Changfeng looked at the wine cup: "Golden Silkworm, the old poisoner actually threw away this poison. No wonder the Jianghu people from Raojiang said that the Miao and Bai people in Raojiang went crazy a while ago, and that many cave masters and villages in the Gu Immortal Sect died."

At this point, Luo Changfeng looked at Su Chang'an: "How about using me as bait?"

Su Chang'an's tone became unusually serious: "Not so good."

Luo Changfeng laughed: "Alright, I'll do whatever you say, but send me to the Yue Prince's residence. There are many acquaintances there, and the rules in the palace are too strict."

However, as she said this, she glanced at the cat over there and then looked at Su Chang'an: "I heard that the two of them had a falling out?"

Su Chang'an looked at Luo Changfeng with a puzzled expression.

Luo Changfeng said, "Last night, those two old bastards, Huo De and Wang Changcao, came to my place. They said they heard it from Bao Xian."

Su Chang'an pouted.

Ruyu was a little embarrassed; why was her father going around telling everyone?

Luo Changfeng laughed, glanced at the cat, and said, "That's good. A little noise makes things interesting. But there's something else the Old Master and the others probably haven't had a chance to tell you yet. You've been busy these past few days. They've put together some kind of challenge, supposedly inspired by your lips. They've distributed some bounty missions, and whoever completes them gets a reward from those old fogies. I heard the best reward is becoming the Old Master's disciple, but that's probably quite difficult. There are too many martial arts practitioners in the capital, and many young people, all hot-blooded and impulsive. Plus, the news of the martial arts tournament has attracted a lot of people. If they don't give them something to vent their frustrations, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause. They're free anyway, so they're all having some fun."

“I know I can’t help you much, my only life is this, but you won’t agree to me being the bait. You’d rather send me to the Yue King’s mansion, where I’ll follow the old Celestial Master and the old Sword Saint around all day. You can rest assured about that. I’ll just be able to watch the show.”

Su Chang'an was puzzled by what he heard earlier, but when he heard the latter part, he looked at Luo Changfeng and smiled gently.

With a mouthful of mutton in her mouth, Ku Yue said, "Old coward, you're quite self-aware. But why didn't I know they came up with this? It sounds really funny. Can I participate?"

Luo Changfeng looked at Kuyue: "Shameless, then participate!"

Kuyue muttered, "I still care about my reputation. But could I let Ruyu participate, and then I'll help Ruyu complete it, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty afterward?"

While speaking, he deliberately looked at Ruyu beside him, as if he were hinting at something.

Yan Ruyu paused for a moment, as if about to say something.

Luo Changfeng glanced at Kuyue with disdain: "Do you believe that if you do this, Yan Yunxiao won't say anything, but you will definitely be hung on a tree by the Old Master?"

Ku Yue slammed her hand on the table: "He wouldn't dare!"

Then, pointing at Su Chang'an, he proudly declared, "I have a powerful backer!"

He then gritted his teeth and said, "That old coward, try touching me!"

Luo Changfeng looked behind Ku Yue: "Did you hear that?"

Crying Moon's face changed, and she immediately looked behind her: "I didn't even get a drop."

But there was no one behind her, just the same people coming and going.

Ku Yue gritted her teeth and glared at Luo Changfeng: "I'll fight you to the death!"

Su Chang'an shook his head and looked towards the street. Caiyunjian, Gongsun Chunu, and Liu Fenggu were walking in this direction.

Luo Changfeng shook his head: "Later, you'll teach Liu Fenggu a lesson. I can't take it anymore! As for Cai'er, you should say less, or better yet, don't say anything at all."

Su Chang'an looked at Luo Changfeng, wondering what he was talking about.
