Chapter 735 Hopefully, it is possible.
After the handover was completed, someone came over to call out.
Su Fengqu was a little reluctant to part ways. He didn't know anyone in Tongzhou and was getting bored to death. He finally met Lu Yangyang. Although they weren't exactly friends before, they had some past acquaintances. It was such a brief meeting before they had to part ways.
No matter how reluctant she was to leave, Su Fengqu couldn't show it and attract attention. She waved goodbye to Lu Yangyang and then rode away.
When he returned, He Jingze glared at him with sharp eyes.
He Jingze sized him up: "You know that kid?"
The two groups were far apart, and He Jingze couldn't get a clear look at Sheng Junyao's younger brother's face. He only saw that he had delicate features and did look like a young man.
"General He, what are you saying? I've been in the capital for over ten years, don't I know a few people? Sheng's fifth son is two or three years younger than me, and he's always playing with us. It's not surprising that I chat with him a bit when I see him, is it?" Su Fengqu muttered impatiently. "You people always have so much to do. Otherwise, I would have invited him to stay and play for a few days!"
He Jingze gave him a cold glance.
Su Fengqu rolled her eyes without giving him any face.
He Jingze was speechless.
It's unclear whose idea it was to send Su Fengqu, this spoiled brat, to the military camp. He wrote to his father-in-law to ask, but his father-in-law only replied that he didn't need to worry about it.
Indeed, there's no need to worry about him. He's just a spoiled brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. He doesn't do anything or cause trouble. Apart from being annoyed by him, He Jingze really has nothing to say.
Having suffered this injustice in silence today, He Jingze was a little worried that the kid might say something inappropriate to Su Fengqu, but seeing Su Fengqu's expression, he figured she wouldn't think much of it.
He Jingze pulled himself out of his thoughts, spurred his horse forward a few steps, and bid farewell to Sheng Junyao: "Since General Sheng is unable to stay, I will not linger any longer, but..."
He Jingze looked at Lin Wuji, who had remained silent, and said, "It is my fault that Young Master Lin had an accident in my Tongzhou territory. I failed to entertain him properly. Why don't you come back with me, Young Master Lin, so that I can apologize properly?"
He Jingze was also very curious about Lin Wuji, and with his father-in-law's instructions, he secretly wanted to keep him here. In any case, he absolutely could not let Sheng Junyao take him away.
No matter how complicated Lin Wuji's background was, being the leader of the Salt Gang was a highly coveted position. Who didn't know that selling salt was profitable?
"Thank you for your kindness, General He. There's no need for apologies. I just happen to need to go to Jinzhou, and I'll have to trouble you to do me a favor," Lin Wuji said with a smile.
This is an intentional attempt to make connections.
He Jingze's gloomy expression immediately brightened. Although he had lost the tribute from the horse caravan, it wasn't a bad thing to be able to make friends with the leader of the salt gang.
He immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Young Master Lin, you are too kind. I will definitely send someone to safely escort you to Jinzhou. Young Master Lin, please."
Lin Wuji cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your trouble, General He."
He Jingze turned and left. Lin Wuji rode back a short distance, seemingly to find his subordinate, but actually to talk to Lu Yangyang, who was mixed in with the crowd.
"I'm leaving now. I will definitely do what I promised you if I have the chance." Lin Wuji was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to stare at Lu Yangyang for too long, but every time he looked at her, his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Have a safe journey. I've already had Su Mu teach your subordinate how to bandage and remove the stitches, as well as how to deal with this kind of injury." Lu Yangyang didn't have time to remove Lin Wuji's stitches, but fortunately, there was one among the doctors who knew a little about medicine. So Lu Yangyang had Su Mu teach her the simple methods of removing and stitching the stitches, and also left some medicine.
Although I was rushed and not very skilled, I could handle these common knife wounds without any problem.
Lin Wuji nodded slightly.
It's rare that she thought of everything so thoroughly.
It seems like every encounter is so fleeting, yet she always manages to stir his heartstrings time and time again.
He seemed to be able to understand more and more the feelings Mingruo had when she looked at Lu Yangyang. In fact, he had wondered if Mingruo also liked Lu Yangyang, but it seemed that Mingruo cared more about redemption than liking her.
Lu Yangyang is a very special girl. She has such a captivating face, but after getting to know her, what you first perceive is not love and romance, but rather her introspection and growth.
He used to think that taking over the Salt Gang from his adoptive father and taking good care of it was his life's goal. But meeting her was like tearing open a corner of his life and seeing a landscape he had never paid attention to before.
A beggar abandoned since childhood, a prostitute crushed into the mud, a commoner struggling to make a living at the docks, a miner crushed by the weight of the earth... it seems that it was only after meeting her that he saw the masses of humanity for the first time.
It was that misheard conversation that made him start to seriously consider what kind of result he was seeking in his trip to Northern Yan.
He doesn't know; there's no answer yet.
But when he met those bright, vibrant, and hopeful eyes, he seemed to know that everything that was currently unattainable and unknown would eventually have an answer.
Lin Wuji smiled slightly at Lu Yangyang, then tightened the reins, turned around, and drove away.
He didn't say goodbye, but just raised his hand and waved to her from afar.
I don't know if we'll ever meet again.
Hopefully, it is possible.
