85. Hero Saves Beauty

"What's going on up ahead, making such a fuss! Don't you all stop for this general! Do you all want to be spanked?!"
In the distance, the sound of Su Tiancheng's imposing voice and the clattering of horse hooves could be heard. Su Wenqing clicked his tongue and remarked, "As expected, the male protagonist is really boastful and can really put on a show."
"Ah! No, I don't want to be your concubine. You already have twenty concubines. I don't want to go with you. Help! I would rather die than marry you as a concubine!"
Yan Hong saw Su Tiancheng in the distance with sharp eyes. Soon, our actress realized that he must be the male lead she wanted to seduce. So she started screaming desperately. Coincidentally, the extras hired by Su Wenqing were also competent. They began tearing Yan Hong's clothes, making her performance even more realistic and convincing, giving a sense of chaste and virtuous woman.
"Damn it! You slut! Don't you even bother to find out who I am! Today you must oblige, or else, I'll take care of you right here on the street!"
The strong man vigorously tore at the scarlet clothes, and in the blink of an eye, the scarlet clothes were about to be stripped off. The next second, the strong man was kicked out by someone.
Oh! There's something here!
Su Wen's eyes lit up. That strong man weighs at least 180 pounds, and Su Tiancheng's kick has some weight to it.
"You scoundrel! How dare you cause trouble here! Don't you know who I am? Get the hell out of here! Next time I see you bullying innocent women, I'll cut you to death!"
Su Tiancheng helped up Lihua, who was crying with tear-stained rouge, and draped a cloak over her. Then he sternly warned the strong man, who clutched his chest and backed down the hill with a donkey path:
"Alright! You filthy bitch, you win! Hmph, let's go!"
After speaking, the extras withdrew, successfully wrapping up the filming.
Sure enough, there is no limit to stupidity, there is only more stupidity. Su Tiancheng fell for it and fell for it completely! You are still you, Yunhong, and it worked perfectly!
"This sir, thank you for saving this young lady. I am truly grateful."
Rouge's eyes were filled with tears and she trembled as she crawled out of Su Tiancheng's embrace. Her voice was accompanied by sobs, clearly showing her frightened state.
But where is Su Tiancheng? Suddenly, his arms are empty, and the beauty still seems a bit reluctant to leave.
"Ahem, it's alright. This is what a general should do. Miss, where do you live? Let me escort you home."
"Sob... Sir, you are unaware that my little brother is sick. In order to treat him, my parents have already sold me to that scoundrel as a concubine. I swear I will never comply. Though you have saved me now, I can't return home. I wonder if my mother would be willing to take me in..."
Pityingly, Yanhong wiped a few drops of tears that were forcibly squeezed out of the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. It is already heartbreaking when a beauty sheds tears, not to mention Su Tiancheng, a little lecher who is longing for a decent woman in this desolate place. But now, one is delivered right to his door. Moreover, this place is far away from his father's control. When Su Wenyue becomes the queen, he can go back to his ancestral home as the young master of the prime minister's mansion, leaving this woman here. By then, not to mention taking responsibility, he probably won't even be able to find her.
Su Tiancheng thought more and more that this was a good idea, so he looked at Yanhong with a more satisfied look.
"How about this, miss? General Su will take you back. Since your mother wants to sell you, how about I pay her silver to buy you? It won't be a hardship for you to follow me. You'll have good food and drinks, and I guarantee you won't suffer."+
In the past, Su Tiancheng used this trick to conquer women. Generally speaking, these women either sought wealth or benefits, and there was no woman he couldn't conquer.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I am of lowly status. How can I match up to your position? You saved me today, and I am already very grateful. I don't seek wealth and status, I just want to marry an ordinary person and be content."
Yan Hong knew that she had already achieved half of her goal, but Su Tiancheng was not an ordinary person either. She had to act more realistically, as men usually don't cherish things that come too easily.
"How could it be? A gentle and kind woman like you is naturally worthy of this general. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer."
"This... "
Seeing that Yanhong seemed somewhat moved, Su Tiancheng secretly pleased himself. He was certainly grateful for Yanhong's praise. It seemed that in his eyes, Yanhong was even more like a woman who didn't seek trouble, innocent and simple."
Of course, in the end, Su Tiancheng and Yan Hong were reluctantly taken to the farmer's house that Su Wenqing had already hired. The farmer's wife came out and pretended to scold Yan Hong, saying she had no conscience and was willing to sacrifice her brother's life, and even risked their own lives. Yan Hong played along and cried, looking pitiful, which convinced Su Tiancheng that the matter was indeed true. After some negotiations, Su Tiancheng generously paid a "dowry" of 100 taels of silver. Then the money-minded old woman accepted the money and hurriedly let Su Tiancheng take Yan Hong away.
At this point, Su Wenqing's plan has basically succeeded. After Su Tiancheng left, Su Wenqing had Snow Ling give another hundred taels of silver to the old woman, and then he sent the whole family of the old woman out of Wenhua Country overnight. As for Yan Hong, Su Tiancheng arranged for her to stay in a house. According to Snow Ling's report, the two of them had a passionate night, and Su Tiancheng didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Very good, everything is developing in the direction envisioned by Su Wenqing.
So one night, the mysterious Yanhong knocked on Su Wenqing's door.
"My Lord, the task you assigned me has been completed. I think it's time for me to leave. This Su Tiancheng seems to be feeling a bit uncomfortable recently, what do you think..."
I understand. It's too late to run away now.
"Xiao Zhi, exchange a universal medicine for me from the mall."
[Sure, master. It will cost ten points in total. However, Xiao Zhi still needs to say that we are a medical system, and even if the host doesn't save people, they should not harm others. Behavior like spreading diseases deliberately is very undesirable!]
"Shut up!"
Su Wen tilted his hand and a pitch-black pill appeared out of thin air. After grabbing the pill, Su Wen was too lazy to listen to Xiaozhi's nagging, so he handed the pill to Yan Hong. Su Wen said:
"Swallow it, you'll be fine tomorrow."
Yan Hong hesitantly took the pill. Is it really that miraculous? No need for a prescription? Just one pill? Is this illness so easily cured?
"Rest assured, never deceive the young and old!"
Su Wenqing earnestly held the rouge hand and stated with complete certainty, even though Su Wenqing herself felt unreliable, she still had to believe in high technology!
"Also, here are 300 taels of silver. Take it and run away overnight. Otherwise, once Su Tiancheng realizes what's happening, you're done for."
After hearing Su Wenqing's words, Yan Hong's face changed. She took the silver and rushed out of the door without even packing her belongings. According to Su Wenqing's post-investigation, it seemed like Yan Hong had no intention of ever returning in her lifetime. As for Su Tiancheng, after consulting numerous doctors, he finally received a diagnosis – "onsen disease". It's likely that Su Tiancheng would never have imagined that his only good deed in his life would lead to such consequences.
So, the furious Su Tiancheng immediately thought of Yan Hong, realizing that he might have been deceived. Of course, at this point, it was too late for him to seek revenge because the person involved had long since disappeared, and the old lady who took his money had also vanished without a trace. This time, Su Wenqing suffered a loss with blood.
