CHAPTER XXV
87_87272Wei Qiong is a smiling tiger, who has always been smiling and seems to be very kind, but his mind is heavier than anyone else. As soon as he heard the word relic, he turned into a discoloration, which was rare in the past. It also made Su Jiming more sure that what troops were sent to attack the barbarians was simply for the mysterious holy relics!
Su Jiming said: "This time he took a treasure out to treat my wounds, so you can see that my wounds are healing so quickly." β
Wei Qiong hurriedly asked, "What baby?" β
Su Jiming said unhurriedly: "It's a pearl bitten in the mouth of the golden snake on his scepter." He applied the pearl to my wound, and the bleeding stopped in an hour from the wound, which was still cracked, and it was no longer infected that night, and it was like this in a few days. It's amazing, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. β
"Scepter? Pearl? Wei Qiong frowned and sat down in the chair again.
"Yes, a pearl." Su Jiming observed Wei Qiong's expression, and saw that his attitude seemed to be a little cold, and his heart chuckled. He didn't know how much Wei Qiong knew about the affairs of the Wu Barbarians, and when he was lying to Wei Qiong, he was also touching Wei Qiong's bottom. Through Wei Qiong's reaction, he will adjust the information he gives little by little.
Su Jiming continued: "I saw that thing had a miraculous effect on my wounds, so I thought of the last time you told me about the sacred relics of the barbarian tribe, and I thought to myself, I don't know if the pearl is related to the holy relics of the barbarian tribe, so I asked him where this pearl came from. β
Wei Qiong took a clean cup from the table, poured herself hot tea, and asked, "Where did it come from?" β
Su Jiming said: "He said that it was dug from a spring in their clan. β
Hearing the word spring water, Wei Qiong's hand pouring tea trembled slightly, if it weren't for Su Jiming's meticulous observation, it would be really difficult to find his reaction. Su Jiming said in his heart: It seems that Wei Qiong knows that holy spring!
Wei Qiong said: "Spring water? You've been in the Barbarians for a year, and you know what kind of spring it is? β
Su Jiming said: "I heard that the people in their clan call that spring a holy spring. β
Wei Qiong's eyebrows jumped slightly: "Holy Spring!" β
Su Jiming also made himself a cup of tea, it seemed that his mouth was dry, but in fact, he was quite nervous, and he drank hot tea to suppress his shock. He didn't know how much Wei Qiong knew, obviously fake things couldn't deceive Wei Qiong, so he could only add some more real information, true or false, in order to win his trust. However, Wei Qiong even knew about Shengquan, which really made Su Jiming frightened!
"Yes, Holy Spring, the people of their clan bathe in the Holy Spring, so I think that their longevity and health may have something to do with the Holy Spring, so maybe the pearls taken out of the Holy Spring are holy relicsβat least, they are also part of the holy relics?"
Wei Qiong frowned and asked, "What does that pearl look like?" β
Su Jiming smiled slightly, and took out a half-inch pink pearl from his arms: "When I left, I came over casually." β
"What?" Wei Qiong took the pearl in his hand in surprise, looked left and right, "Is this the holy relic you are talking about?" This looks like an ordinary pearl. You took the pearl and he didn't find it? β
"I look at it as an ordinary pearl." Su Jiming said, "It's quite similar to the one on my belt, so I took advantage of his inattention and came a tanuki to change the prince." I don't know when he'll find out. You'll have to send someone to protect me, and if he finds out, it's going to be a bad problem for me!" β
"I will." Wei Qiong looked at the pearl suspiciously, and really couldn't see anything unusual about it.
Su Ji knew that he would not believe it so easily, put his finger in his mouth, bit it hard, and "hissed" in pain, took out his finger, and a small hole was bitten on his finger, gushing out two or three drops of blood. He asked Wei Qiong to take back the pearl, rolled over the injured area, and the bleeding from the wound immediately stopped. He rolled for a while, took the pearl, and put his finger under Wei Qiong's eyes: "Look." β
Wei Qiong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, grabbing his fingers and taking a closer look. Su Jiming's wound just now has completely healed, and he can't tell where the injury is!
"This ......," Wei Qiong said, "is it really so amazing?" β
He was worried that Su Jiming was cheating, so he took out the dagger he was wearing from his waist, cut it on his own hand, and rolled the pearl back and forth on the wound like Su Jiming. His wound was deeper than Su Jiming's, so he massaged it longer than Su Jiming, and after about half a cup of tea, his wound was completely healed, and he couldn't see where Fang Cai's injury was. This is really strange to Wei Qiong!
Su Jiming drank the tea slowly, and said: "I don't know how much energy this pearl contains, stealing it back, and thinking that in case I get seriously ill again, this thing may make me suffer less." I hope that its energy is not limited, and I am afraid that it will be used up soon, and I can't count on it when it comes to saving lives. β
When Wei Qiong heard him say this, he didn't dare to try again.
Su Jiming secretly pinched a cold sweat in his heart. This pearl, of course, is not a holy object that Xiwu took out of the holy spring, if he really had this kind of energy, Xiwu would not have had to cut his hands and take blood to heal him some time ago. When he decided to leave yesterday, under the pretext that his injuries had not healed, he asked Xiwu if he could use his blood to condense a healing thing for himself. Xi Wu took the big pearl from the scepter, forced his own blood into it, and told Su Jiming to use this thing for three to five days, so that his injuries would heal faster.
Xiwu's blood can heal wounds, but the healing effect is also limited, a knife wound as deep as Su Jiming's chest will take at least ten days and a half to heal, but a small wound on his hand will heal soon. Su Jiming guessed that Wei Qiong's holy relics were to be used by the emperor, and he would not dare to try the only bead extravagantly and wastefully, and after trying it once or twice, he felt that it was effective and had to keep it well.
Although he didn't know where Wei Qiong's news came from, and how much he knew about the Wu Barbarian Clan, Su Jiming felt that this pearl was still very likely to scare Wei Qiong. Even Xiwu, the high priest, couldn't tell what the holy relics hidden under the holy spring were, Wei Qiong couldn't open his eyes to see the situation under the holy spring, right? No one could say how powerful the holy relic was, so how could Wei Qiong be sure that the pearl was not? Once he pinned his hopes on this, he had to transport the pearl back to the capital to present it to the emperor.
Su Jiming gambled on time. He didn't believe that this pearl containing Xiwu's blood could make Zhao Yunshen wither wood in spring, but it would take three months to return to the capital from Danzhou, and it would take three months to try its effect. When he was really sure that this pearl had no effect on him, would he suspect that the artifact was a fake or would he think that it was indeed a barbarian artifact but it didn't work for him? Even if the worst result is that he thinks this thing is fake, he still insists on attacking Wuman and sending the news to Danzhou...... To put it mildly, Zhao Yunshen's body may not last a few years, before Su Jiming left Beijing, he couldn't go to court from time to time because of his body, and if he delayed this period of effort, he was afraid that it would be too late to make any more decisions.
As for Su Jiming himself, even if he was found to be a pearl and was not a useful thing, he was at most a treasure offerer, who knew that he was actually the one who was secretly making trouble?
Taking this kind of Xibei goods to pit the emperor is simply out of order, but the self-proclaimed guardian of the Wu Barbarian Clan will not be able to hand over the holy relics no matter what, and Wei Qiong will definitely not give up, this is an unsolvable dead end. Regardless of whether the holy relic leaving the holy spring will really cause disaster, once the fight really starts, whether it is the Han people or the barbarians, thousands of people will die, and Zhao Yunshen's pursuit of immortality will be filled with naked human lives. Life and death are fate, Su Jiming weighed it again and again, and finally chose this approach. Right or wrong, in short, he made a choice for the priority in his heart.
Wei Qiong said: "Brother Qingzhe, you baby, can you borrow me to take it back to see?" β
"Borrow?" Su Jiming muttered, "Is this borrowed or repaid?" β
Wei Qiong smiled and didn't answer, obviously she didn't mean to pay it back.
Su Jiming said: "Actually...... Brother Ziyu, let's not talk darkly, if I really have the heart to hide such a good thing, I won't show it to you. I came back with it, and I originally wanted to take it out and present it to the emperor, to please me, and let me stop suffering earlier. But my injury is not yet healed, and I am still suffering from pain...... Or, when I'm all healed, I'll verify the power of this treasure and I'll give it to you? β
Wei Qiong pondered for a moment, but still didn't return the pearl. Zhao Yunshen's stubborn illness is not so easy to treat, in case this baby is really limited in energy, so that Su Jiming runs out, Zhao Yunshen will not be enough. He said: "Don't ask you to try, it's not clear whether this barbarian thing is good or bad, what if there is something greasy in it, so what if you suffer a loss?" Your injury is almost healed, don't take this risk, I will ask the best doctor in Lingnan to treat you with the best medicine. I'll take it back and ask someone else to try it. β
Su Jiming said angrily: "You are really ...... Blame me for being too anxious to invite merit, I knew earlier, I'll show it to you in a few days! β
Wei Qiong smiled, got the baby, and didn't even have the mood to be with Su Mingxuan and the snake. Anyway, everyone knew that there was no need to talk about the scene again, so he immediately called someone to send a treasure box and carefully put away the pearl. Only then did he appease Su Jiming and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you when it's good." β
Su Jiming pretended to be unhappy, but he was helpless against Wei Qiong's domineering behavior, and Wei Qiong left with the pearl in his hand.
It was easy to send away Wei Qiong's big Buddha, and Su Jiming didn't know if his plan could go smoothly, so he was relieved. Su Yan, who had just been taken away by Wei Qiong, came into the house and asked Su Jiming with concern if he had suffered in the past few days, and Su Jiming also asked him if anything had happened in the official mansion in the past few days.
"By the way, how is Bu Tian?"
Su Yan said: "It's dead." β
"Dead? Sick to death or executed? Su Jiming raised his eyebrows. When he was kidnapped by Xiwu, Bu Tian was seriously injured and died, and it seems that he didn't survive.
Sure enough, Su Yan said: "He died of illness, not long after the young master was taken away by the barbarians, he lost his breath." β
Su Jiming shook his head. If it's dead, it's dead, and it's a case closed.
"But......" Su Yan hesitated, "After he died, the people of the government dragged his bones out and buried them, and the next day his grave was dug up, and the body was stolen." β
"What?" Su Jiming frowned, "Stealing corpses? Are you sure he's dead? Don't let people save you! β
Su Yan nodded again and again: "It's dead, it's dead, it's confirmed." The corpse was parked in the government for two days, and it was rotten, and there was a smell of corpses, so it was dragged out and buried. "The climate of Lingnan is hot and sultry, everything rots quickly, and it can attract a bunch of insects and snakes in less than two days, and the miasma that fills Lingnan is also composed of rotten qi.
Su Jiming thought about it, the Miao people have Miao customs, probably because his relatives and friends wanted him to return to his hometown, so they secretly dug the grave. Since it is confirmed that he is dead, the dead cannot be resurrected, can they still set off any storms? This matter has been revealed
