Chapter 133: Blessings
A few days later, when Ren Lizheng was about to return to Han, Shan Yu personally held a banquet for them. At the banquet, Li Ling and Wei Lu were accompanied. The hosts on both sides said many compliments to each other.
Towards the end of the banquet, Ren Lizheng finally asked: "Honorable Shan Yu, may I ask, where is our envoy Su Wu from the previous dynasty?"
Wei Lu replied, "In the year he came, he fell ill and died!"
"And where is his grave, and we should pay homage when we leave!"
"It's been more than ten years, and it's been buried in the yellow sand!"
"Looks like we're going to have to worship on the road!"
As Li Ling said, they would not admit that Su Wu was alive, and they were not willing to let him return to Dahan. However, they have already discussed the method, and they only wait for Ren Lizheng and them to return to Han, and then the emperor and the general will make a decision.
After Ren Lizheng came back, he reported Li Ling's situation to Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji, and they were sad and sorry for Li Ling. However, it is also exciting to get Su Wuning to be alive without bending.
They immediately informed the emperor of this, and the thirteen-year-old Emperor Xuan was very happy. and the two auxiliary ministers counted on their fingers, and it has been fifteen or sixteen years since the old minister Su Wu sent the Xiongnu.
They found Lu Chongguo, an old minister who sent an envoy to the Xiongnu to survey the terrain, to learn about the situation in Beihai, the place of exile of Su Wu, and learned that it was the northernmost extremely cold place of the Xiongnu.
The desert is deserted. Food is desperately scarce.
There are seven to eight months of the year in the wind and snow, when it is cold, it is convenient to be outside, and the urine freezes into popsicles as soon as it comes out. The endless North Sea, in winter, the ice is thick enough to drive and run horses......
The ice in the North Sea freezes in September and October of the following year, and only begins to melt in May of the following year.
The emperor said: "He can survive there, he is really a god!"
They immediately decided to take the old minister Su Wu back. But Shan Yu said that he was dead, and it seemed that the Xiongnu did not want him to return to Dahan. In that case, there can be no movement on our side yet.
You have to take your time, and you have to look for a good opportunity. Otherwise, the Xiongnu would have murdered the old minister Su Wu.
Soon it was winter. When Li Ling returned to the Baikal Sea, it snowed heavily. He said he was so tired that he lay on the couch for two days. In fact, he was thinking, should he tell Su Wu about Ren Lizheng's arrival and the news that he was alive?
Tell it, his family will not be at peace, don't tell it, Brother Ren is thinking about Dahan. According to the rules of the Hu people, Su Wu Hui Han women and dolls are all from here, and they can't go with them......
Su Wu saw Li Ling come back this time, and he said very little, as if he had something on his mind. On this day, he saw that the weather was fine after the snow, and brought out two horses.
He knocked on his door outside the door: "Brother Xian, the weather is very good today, go, go out for a walk!"
Yu Weilan was really tired as a husband, so he came out and said, "Uncle, he said he was tired, lying on the couch!"
Su Wu came in and pulled him up: "We two brothers, we won't be tired when we go out for a walk!"
Li Ling had no choice but to put on his robe and follow out. Su Wu handed him the reins of the horse: "Get on the horse!"
The two of them rode one after the other. Su Wu waited until he was side by side: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing!"
"I see you're on your mind!" he asked, "Are you angry with Wei Lu?"
"Nope. ”
"Let's go back to Haizi and take a good bath, and have a good chat together at night!" Su Wu said.
"I still haven't told Erlan that I won't come back at night!"
"I told Mei Ga, and she will tell her!"
Su Wu and Li Ling took their horses to Haizi, lit a fire in the fire pit, boiled water, and heated the cakes and pickles. They came back from bathing in the hot springs, eating hot cakes and vegetables, and lying on their couches drinking homemade tea.
Su Wu looked at him thoughtfully: "Still struggling!"
"How do you know?"
"I have clairvoyance. "Actually, he was tricking him into telling the truth.
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth!" He told him that Ren Lizheng had been ordered by the emperor and the generals Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji to persuade him to return to Han.
"Are you back?"
Li Ling said sadly: "I am already a Hu person, not the Li Ling of the past, I can't go back!"
After hearing this, Su Wu sat up and took a sip of tea without saying a word.
Li Ling stared blankly at the original roof made of logs.
In this way, after being dull for a long time, Su Wu lay down and coughed dryly: "Cough! This is really a difficult thing!"
"It's not difficult! I'm marrying a wife and having children here now, and as soon as I'm gone, my wife and baby will have to suffer and be insulted again! Although I think of my hometown man,
But I'll feel even more pain when I go back!" he said, looking at the roof.
"You're right!" Su Wu finally asked, "Did they return to Han like this?"
"Do you know, who is the young man who came to protect Ren Lizheng?"
"Who?"
"It's the little boy you saved halfway when you came. Today's name is Su Jien. Li Ling explained, "It was the child's grandmother who gave the name." ”
"That doll is twenty-three or fourteen now!"
"The young man is both civil and military, and he is very handsome!" said Li Ling, "and he is very happy to learn that you are still alive." He had also seen the regular meeting. ”
"This doll is very promising!" the two of them had been lying on their backs on the couch, neither of them looking at the sleep.
"It's all your credit!" Li Ling said jealously.
"It's the good education of people's grandmothers!"
"Yes!" Li Ling said, "we talked about you. They went back to ask the court. However, when they asked Shan Yu about your condition, Wei Lu replied that you would fall ill and die when you came back. ”
"They're right!" he said after a moment's thought.
"How so?"
"You say, they learned that the big man knew that I was still alive, and they didn't solve me in advance!"
"You're right!" Li Ling sat up and nervously, "Brother Ren, from now on, I want Liu Yongyi and Wu Sheng to follow you together!"
"Don't be so nervous! They now know that the big man knows I'm dead. I'm safe now!"
The two of them discussed the future together, Su Bei'er and Li Yuxing were already thirteen years old, Su Wu stared at Li Ling's face, and officially married his daughter to his son.
Li Ling said to Su Wu: "Brother Ren, no matter where you are in the future, Mei Ga is my eldest sister and my nephew!"
"It's a deal!"
"A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse! Brother Ren, having you here is really a blessing for me Li Ling!"
