Chapter III

87_87272Su Jiming was already hungry after bathing, so he ordered someone to hurry up and bring him some food. Not long after, a few pastries were delivered.

Su Jiming looked at the radish cake and hawthorn cake on the plate with disgust: "What are these things?" Hurry up and ask the kitchen to make me some meat and send it over. ”

Su Yan asked, "If Childe wants to eat, I'll ask someone to do it." ”

"Braised elbow roast lamb shank sauce beef sesame oil * treasure duck...... As long as it's meat, the oilier the better, so get me some! ”

Su Yan's nose was sour, tears almost fell, and Su Jiming's eyes were full of sympathy - his poor son must have suffered a lot of abuse in Danzhou, and he was afraid that he didn't eat a full meal. Those barbarians are so hateful!

In fact, the days on Hainan Island this year were indeed the hardest days in Su Jiming's life, and the reason was not like everyone thought that he was brutally abused by the barbarian people, but because the barbarians almost did not eat meat!

The Wu barbarians planted many fruit trees in the village, often feeding on melons and fruits, occasionally fish and meat, and the rest of the birds and animals were not seen on the dining table. According to Xiwu, eating the spiritual fruit of their clan can prolong life. There are indeed many centenarians among the barbarians who are still walking like flying, they have no meat, no medicine for illness, and the secret of their longevity may really be related to their holy spring spirit fruit. However, for Su Jiming, if he can't eat meat, living to be 100 years old is a 100-year sin, and he would rather live a short life.

Only when it is time to sacrifice, the barbarians will kill the deer to take blood, each person a bowl of spirit deer blood can expel the evil qi in the body, the venison they take to the sky and do not eat, Su Jiming almost used all the means of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Xiwu secretly left some meat for him to eat, but there are only two such opportunities in a year. Several times he salivated at the two macaws raised by Xi Wu, if he hadn't found the opportunity, he would have roasted and eaten those two big birds!

Su Jiming waited in the room for a while, and the meat dishes were served on the table, and as he requested, the fat of the hooves was dripping with oil. Su Jiming didn't care about his image, the hungry wolf pounced on the food and grabbed the hoof with his hand and gnawed it, but he couldn't eat it after taking a bite - his stomach, which had been conditioned by melons and fruits for a year, couldn't stand such oiliness, and he was a little sick to his stomach.

Su Jiming had to drink some relatively light chicken soup, and finally satisfied his appetite.

After eating and drinking, Su Jiming sat on the Taishi chair, Su Yan was pinching his shoulders and beating his legs, and a middle-aged man with a small beard walked in.

"How does Master Su feel? But what is needed? ”

Su Jiming looked at him: "Are you?" ”

The mustache rubbed his hands diligently: "I am the master of Huizhou Mansion, if the adults have any needs, just tell me, I will definitely do it for the adults." ”

"Oh." Su Jiming casually nodded to the position beside him and motioned for him to come and sit.

Su Jiming pretended to be casual and asked, "I don't need anything for the time being, but I've been away for a year, and I can't figure out a lot of things, so I want to ask you." What major events have happened in the DPRK and China recently? ”

The emperor has been frail and sickly since childhood, and when he was not yet on the throne, he was asserted by the imperial physician that he would not live to be thirty years old, and now he is close to standing and has no heirs. Probably because of his frailty, his methods are not strong, and he is often fiddled with by his uncle Zhao Cai, the king of Han. When Su Jiming's father Su De was still alive, he was upright and assisted the emperor, which made Zhao Cai quite jealous and did not dare to make a mistake. However, after Su De's death, the new prime minister Li Han was Zhao Cai's confidant, and Zhao Cai became more and more arrogant, and he could inherit the throne as soon as the emperor died. And Su Jiming is Su De's son and is considered to be the future Xiangxiang, so he is regarded as a thorn in the side by Zhao Cai and Li Han.

Two years ago, Su Jiming wrote a nostalgic poem, but he was far-fetched by someone with a heart, saying that he slandered the court and harbored evil intentions. Su Jiming was born in a famous family and was a genius, so he was arrogant and not careful enough when he spoke and did things, so he was taken advantage of this opportunity to fabricate charges and convict him of a felony. Zhao Cai and others were bent on putting Su Jiming to death, and sent him to Danzhou with a rod, hoping that he would be buried in the belly of the fish or Ling Chi by the barbarians.

The mustache understood what Su Jiming was asking, and he smiled: "Five months ago, Li Xiang resigned from his illness. ”

"Oh?" Su Jiming frowned. He understands the emperor, the emperor seems to be cowardly, but in fact he is just hiding the edge, he has long been dissatisfied with the emperor's uncle Zhao Cai, but he has no chance to rectify it. Li Han resigned, Zhao Cai will be hit hard, and it seems that the royal uncle and nephew are going to settle old accounts.

In this way, now is the time to employ people, and they have a place to use! Because of this, Qin Chun's attitude towards the old slippery head has changed greatly, and he is very attentive to him.

Su Jiming sneered in his heart. I knew why I had to do it today, Qin Chun's hatred for forcing him to go to sea had never forgotten for a day, and now what was the use of flattering him with hypocrisy. If he were Qin Chun, he wouldn't send someone to save him, it was the best choice to let himself die in a foreign land, otherwise one day he would regain power, and Qin Chun would definitely not be able to get good fruits to eat.

Su Jiming's thoughts were not obvious on his face, and he asked lazily: "Has Lord Qin reported my return?" ”

The mustache observed Su Jiming's expression and said, "The newly appointed Lingnan envoy appointed by the emperor is in Huizhou, and it seems that he has brought the emperor's edict, but it has not yet been promulgated. When Lord Su recovers his health, he can go and meet the envoy. ”

"Envoy?" Su Jiming frowned slightly, "Who is it?" ”

The mustache said, "Lord Wei Qiongwei." ”

Su Jiming was a little surprised when he heard this name. The position of special envoy is often led by the clan and relatives, and is the eyes and ears of the emperor. Wei Qiong is the cousin of the emperor's maternal family, and he has a very close relationship with the emperor, and he can be said to be the emperor's right-hand man.

Su Jiming said: "I know, when I rest for a day, I will go to see Lord Wei tomorrow." "Anyway, he has to explain the Gu on his body first, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong.

The mustache hurriedly said: "I have admired Lord Su for a long time, and I heard that Lord Su was shipwrecked that day, and I persuaded Lord Qin to send someone to the sea to find out the whereabouts of Lord Su every day, I ......"

Su Ji knew that this person was inviting merit, but he was afraid that he still wanted him to help in front of Wei Qiong. He said two kind words in a mock way, and finally sent the mustache away.

After the mustache left, Su Yan said indignantly: "Childe, that Qin Chun is not a good thing, Childe, don't be bluffed by him, if he hadn't forced us to go to sea on a windy day, how could the ship capsize?" Su Bi, Su Mo, Su Paper, and a few sisters won't ...... either" Speaking of this, Su Yan's eyes turned red again.

Su Jiming patted his head: "I know." ”

Su Jiming is such a smart person, just from the mustache just said a few words, he has roughly guessed what happened. He didn't know the reason why the emperor sent Wei Qiong to Lingnan, but he was forgotten for a year and suddenly remembered that it was not Qin Chun's intention, but Wei Qiong wanted to save him. Wei Qiong's meaning is the emperor's meaning, that is, the Heavenly Family has plans to reactivate him.

Su Jiming said: "Su Yan, I have something to entrust you." ”

Su Yan immediately straightened his waist, looking like he was willing to smear his liver and brains: "What's the matter?" ”

Su Jiming touched his chin and said, "There are no barbarians in this Huizhou, right?" ”

Su Yan shook his head: "No, it is said that the Wuman people have lived in Danzhou for generations, isolated from the world. ”

Su Jiming asked again: "You have lived in Lingnan for a year, do you know if there are any Black Miao people here who are particularly powerful in Gu?" ”

Su Yan blinked: "I've heard that there is an old lady named Xiong Lai in the south of the city, no one dares to approach where she lives, it is said that she is a master of Gu use, and whoever looks at her more will be killed by her Gu." ”

Su Jiming smiled. How can there be such an exaggerated thing in this world, if you look at it more, you will harm people, then I am afraid that it is a murderous maniac, why bother to live in seclusion, just come out and kill the four conveniences. It is estimated that it is just that the old lady herself is difficult to get close to, and people are alarmist.

Su Jiming said: "You accompany me to find her." ”

"What?!" Su Yan was shocked, "Childe, what are you looking for that Miao old lady?!" ”

"Don't ask so much." Su Jiming said, "You go out and have a look now, if there are people guarding outside, just say that I am noisy, and break everyone up, and we will leave immediately." ”

Su Yan was very puzzled, but Su Jiming gave the order, and he was the most obedient to Su Jiming, so he obediently did it.

Qin Chun didn't send anyone to guard Su Jiming, he was not a prisoner in the first place, but a court official who might be promoted soon, the people sent by Qin Chun all obeyed Su Jiming's words, and let him go, Su Jiming got rid of the eyes and ears of others, and followed Su Yan to the south of the city.

Seeing that he was about to approach the old Miao girl's residence, Su Yan's pace became slower and slower. Finally, he stopped at the entrance of the alley and refused to take Su Jiming inside: "Childe, what do you have to do with her, sue me, just let me go, Childe, you just wait outside, don't go in." ”

Su Jiming knew that Su Yan was the most protective master, and patted Su Yan's shoulder with relief at this moment: "Don't be afraid, I came back alive from the island, the Miao people can't hurt me, I have to see her face to face if I have something, you take me in." ”

Su Yan was still hesitating, and Su Jiming had to say softly: "I was tricked by someone in Danzhou, if I don't solve the Gu in time, I'm afraid I'll have to worry about my life." That's why I asked you to bring me to her. ”

Su Yan was startled, and didn't dare to shirk it at the moment, so he hurriedly took Su Jiming in to find someone
