Chapter 291: Illusion

Hunying's face turned red again, and he nodded: "Yes, the language is incomprehensible, and it is always inconvenient, so he taught me some Southern Regions, and I also taught him some Imulan language." After a few months, the two of them were finally able to clear up some rough meanings. He said that he had strayed into the territory of the Eagle Clan, and that he had eaten all the dry food he had brought along the way, and that he had relied on snow water and wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. That day, he saw in the mountains and forests that one of us carrying food up the mountain to worship the eagle god, and wanted to steal some food while we were not paying attention, but he had not eaten for a long time, and as soon as he climbed the mountainside, he fainted with hunger. ”

"This person is really fateful, and I am so lucky to meet you, aunt."

Hunying smiled bitterly.

Is the encounter a predestined fate? Or is it a fool from above? Luck and misfortune are just the sky before dawn, and the sun, moon and stars are changed in an instant.

"At first he was very frightened, and asked me where this was, and when I told him he became more and more uneasy, and I saw that he had delicate hands and knuckles on his hands, and I guessed that he was a man of letters, so I asked him where his hometown was. But he didn't say anything, just sighed and said that he couldn't go back. When I saw that he was pitiful, I comforted him and took care of his body first, and then he planned for the day after. ”

"Why wouldn't the man tell where his hometown was?" Su You felt a little strange.

"I don't know, maybe the people of the Southern Regions always think that we Imulans are cruel, and they don't want to tell me where my hometown is, and they don't want to harm the pond fish...... In short, he was silent about his own affairs, and when I saw that he was preoccupied, I didn't ask questions. ”

"What kind of man is he?"

"He's very different from the men of my Eagle Clan, he's very understanding, and sometimes when I'm bored guarding the mountains, he always comes up with little jokes to listen to me. He would also make all kinds of gadgets to play with me, such as shogi in the Southern Regions, or pai gow, all of which he made by himself. ”

"No wonder my aunt knows so much about the things in the Southern Regions, Rob has been trading with Bihai all the year round, and it is not difficult for me to understand the language and things of the Southern Regions, but my aunt guards the western border of Imulan, and she knows so much, it turns out that this is the reason! So what else does this person like to do? ”

"He said he loved to read, but we Imurans couldn't find a few books, and they were all written in Imuran, so I didn't have any books to show him. Oh, and by the way, he likes to swing around at night with pebbles. I was puzzled at first and asked him what he was doing, and he said he was divining. I laughed at him at that time, saying that we Imulans also have divination skills, and the divination skills of the great witch gods of the past dynasties are even more effective, but every time the divination requires dozens of gods to set up a formation to help, and the time spent on the divination ceremony can be as long as ten days and a half months. ”

Su You faintly felt that it sounded a little familiar, and he vaguely remembered that Uncle You had also mentioned the art of divination, that is, to use gravel on the sand table to make astrological signs, and to use the astrological map for divination. But at that time, Uncle You said that he himself was not very proficient, and he felt that the art of divination was too vain compared to the real military strategy, so he only said it in a hasty way, and did not go into it deeply.

"Looks like he's a well-educated man?"

"About yes, except that I was only sixteen years old at the time, and his ability to speak Imuram was extremely limited, so he couldn't ask much, but he was an extremely intelligent man."

"How so?"

Hunying smiled and said, "At that time, Daddy would come to me from time to time with letters to inquire about my daily life in Shakeye, and occasionally mention some political affairs in the country. Once, Daddy wrote in a letter that there were always disputes between the Blood Clan and the Blade Clan in most of the capital, especially when the Blood Clan would plunder during snowstorms and famines. The Golden Blade King Dejia asked Daddy several times to order the punishment of the Blood Clan, which made Daddy very embarrassed. Because plundering is the way of survival of the blood clan, just like buying and selling slaves in the blade clan, even if Daddy is the lord of the country, it is difficult to enforce it if he wants to prohibit it explicitly. ”

As the lord of the country, Su You knows that plundering and selling slaves are the two major problems in the blood clan and the blade clan, especially the lord of the country has always been a member of the Eagle clan, and a little bit of which clan will be regarded as a move by the other clan to fight against one, which will cause turmoil in people's hearts.

Hunying continued: "I was holding the letter at that time, and I was also worried about my father, and he saw it in his eyes, so he asked me why. Originally, I just talked to him as a casual chatter, but after he asked carefully about the relationship between the three clans, he smiled and said that this matter is not difficult. I didn't believe it at first, but then he said that since the Blade Clan has trade with the Blue Sea, and the Blood Clan wants to plunder, then let the Blade Clan secretly tell the Blood Clan the route and time of the Blue Sea Caravan, and lead the Blood Clan to plunder the Blue Sea Caravan. ”

Su You said with a smile: "Although this is a solution, it is dry and fishing, if the blue sea caravan is attacked, where will it come again?" ”

Hunying said: "I said the same thing, but he said that everything is good or bad not based on results, but on proportion." A good thing can become a bad thing if it is done too much, and a bad thing can also become a good thing if it is well grasped. ”

Su You sighed, secretly thinking that this person's words are really mysterious, just like what is said in "Yun Ce", the yin and yang of heaven and earth, not at first start from the chaos, but can float up into dry, down into kun, everything has positive and negative but at the same time.

"And what can he do?"

He said that the Blade Clan could tell the caravans of the blue sea that the Blood Clan had suffered from a drought and would most likely plunder. In addition to being willing to trade with the blue sea, the Blade Clan is also willing to provide guards to protect the caravan at a clear price, so that they can be safed along the way. The blue sea caravan will inevitably hesitate when it hears this, some will agree to hire guards in order to act safely, and there will definitely be some caravans that are reluctant to take the money. Then the Blade Clan can tell the Bloodclan about the volume and route of these caravans that do not have mercenary guards. Then tell the blood clan that they must only rob goods and not hurt people. ”

Su You took a deep breath, secretly thinking that this person was so powerful, this Li Dai Tao's stiff plan was used so skillfully, and he grasped the proportion very well. With the habits of the Bihai people, even if the goods are intercepted, they will calculate the loss, and the trade has always been very profitable, as long as it does not hurt their lives, they will not be able to help but come again. In this way, the Blade Clan has controlled the way of the Blood Clan's way of making money, and there is no reason to be plundered by the Blood Clan again, and the business of the Guardian Guard is sold to the Bihai Caravan as a business, and it can make a sum of money, and the Golden Blade King must not be able to ask for it. Ordinary dart guards still have to worry about losing manpower, but the guards of the blade clan are guarding along the way, and the blood clan will definitely not attack, which is really a great benefit.

"This man is really smart." Su You sighed and smiled, "Has my aunt been impressed by him since then?" ”

Hunying is already half a hundred years old, and even her hair is gray, and when she was teased by Su You like this, her face was suddenly flushed, and she was as ashamed as a girl

Yan was pitiful and snorted: "I also saw that he could solve problems for Daddy, and I was happy in my heart...... However, when I told Daddy what he said in reply, it worked. Daddy also praised me for my kindness, but I didn't dare to tell him the truth. ”

Hunying said, her ears were already red, and she secretly thought in her heart, it is certain, if Daddy knows that there is a man hidden in his house...... Thinking of the past, she consciously felt ashamed to say it to a junior, and defended:

"Then I told him about the big and small things in Imulan, and he was very interested, and often came up with ideas, and they all worked. After a long time, I ...... I'm ......"

"Talented people, my aunt has a heart, why not?" Su You has always admired true talent and learning, just like Uncle You.

Although Hunying's face was quite happy when she heard this, she said, "Alas...... However, there are many things that go wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The people of the Eagle Clan, especially the descendants of the direct bloodline of the Eagle Clan warriors, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, rarely intermarry with foreign clans, I am the daughter of the patriarch, and naturally I am the most exceptional. And...... And he's already very old, almost about the same age as Daddy......"

Su You was taken aback, he never expected that a man Hunying fell in love with would be so much older than her, which would naturally attract criticism, but as a junior, it was difficult to say anything, so he was stunned for a while.

When Hunying saw his expression, she guessed his thoughts, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Nephew doesn't have to think too much, isn't my aunt still alone?" ”

"What happened to him?"

"After he recuperated and recovered, he would sometimes go around, and I saw that since he did not go up to Xitai Mountain and only wandered south, I did not stop him. Then one day, he suddenly disappeared...... I know that he has probably returned to his hometown and will never come back. ”

"How did my aunt see that he had returned to his hometown? Isn't it what letters or objects he left behind? ”

Hunying shook her head and said gloomily: "No, but I just can feel that he is going back." After he left, I sent out the eagle every day for many days to look for him, and the eagle spent a lot of time with him, so he was not a stranger. Every time I let out the eagle, it always flew towards the forest where he used to hang out to the south. flew until he reached the foot of Jueling Peak, and refused to move. ”

Su You thought for a moment and asked, "Absolute Ling Peak is the peak of ten thousand people, it is really a desperate situation. That man couldn't have climbed over the mountain, could he? ”

"I don't know, I usually see him sometimes thinking hard, sometimes he puts stones for divination, although he refuses to say, but I know that he wants to go back to his hometown. Departure, about the inevitable ......"

Su You saw the infinite melancholy in Hunying's words, and remembered that he and Zhu Zhitong had made an oath to stay together when they parted in Taiye City, but the man and his aunt didn't seem to say anything.

"Auntie...... Dare to ask the man in his heart, can he understand his aunt's mind? ”

“…… It should be understood. ”

"How so?"

Hunying's face was so red that she couldn't be more red, and after hesitating for a while, Fang replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Me and him...... Although there is no name of husband and wife, there is ......"

The second half of the sentence is already unheard.
