Chapter 703: Watching from the Sidelines
There is not much rain in Mobei, and this place is located in the inner 6, once it is summer, there are not even many cloudy days except for heavy rain. _>> it_w'wΒ·w=.= But it has rained for a few days, and the drizzle for three consecutive days has made the whole grassland like a sponge, and it is puffing and puffing when you step on it. No matter what shoes you wear, your feet will be soaked white when you come back from a walk.
Su Ren's tent had been changed several times, and the guards even brought a lot of stones to put on the ground under the tent, so as not to seep in the water and have nowhere to put his feet. Because of the rain, the weather also cooled down, so I hid in a tent and sat by the brazier and still felt cold. Huang Shisan took out Su Ren's white bear skin cloak and put it on Su Ren, which made his body warmer a little.
After lying on the couch for three days, Huang Shisan couldn't hold on any longer. Eating, sleeping, and sleeping all day long is a kind of torment for him, and if he doesn't get up and move, the whole person can hold back the illness even if he is not sick. Fortunately, Yi Zhixie and the king of Tuntou never came again, so Su Ren agreed that Huang Shisan would walk around the tent and never go out.
The herdsmen did not have Su Ren's good life, no matter the wind or rain, the cattle, sheep and horses always had to eat grass. The rain came suddenly, it rained for a long time, who knows when it would end, and not enough forage was prepared. So in this kind of weather, you still have to brave the rain to graze. It is said that livestock will run thin when they eat grass with rain. But it can't be helped, even if diarrhea is better than starvation.
Su Ren looked at the victims who were guarding in the tattered tents, and looked at the herdsmen who were frozen into dogs in the rain to graze their cattle with envy, and his heart was not calm. People are really not good things, and they don't know what they need. When I didn't eat or wear, I thought about not worrying about food and clothing, and when I had food and clothing, I felt that the money was not enough to spend, and even if I had money, I still felt that my status was not high enough. So he ran around all his life, and when he died, he didn't forget to let his children and grandchildren continue to work hard.
Shan Yu is also in this state of mind. Yu Shan is the son of Shan Yu, but unfortunately he is too cowardly, and he does not look like a grassland man at all. If you weren't born in a single family, you wouldn't be qualified to be an ordinary herdsman. Sometimes Su Ren was thinking, if Yu Shan was targeted by wolves when he was driving the sheep to graze, would he turn around and run?
According to Su Ren's instructions, Ah Xun is secretly investigating who the few people who were bribed by Yi Zhixi's subordinates were. After half a month of investigation, there is no substantive news, and the latest evidence shows that those people have nothing to do with Shan Yu, and they don't even know the people around Shan Yu. Su Ren targeted the king of Tuntou again, but the results of the investigation were still unsatisfactory, and those people had nothing to do with the king of Tuntou.

Su Ren was a little confused at this time. is neither Shan Yu nor Shan Yu's absolute cronies of Tuntou King, who will it be? Yu Single? It is even more impossible, with the wisdom of Yu Dan, he could not think of this way.
Think carefully about the reason why those people attacked Huang Thirteen. If it is a single person, it is still said in the past. Tuntou Wang, Yu Dan and Su Ren did not have sharp contradictions and would not take such drastic measures. Only Shan Yu hopes that Su Ren and Yi Zhi will fight to relieve some pressure for themselves.
Holding a wooden stick in his hand and fiddling with the fire in the brazier, Su was at a loss. The wild bull suddenly came in from outside, and his face was full of joy: "Sir, the little gold is back!" β
Hawking has been gone for more than a month, and with Hawking's character, he can't wait to grow wings and fly back and forth. This trip has been going for a month, and it is indeed very fast. As soon as Manniu's words fell, Hawking's figure appeared in front of Su Ren.
For a month, Hawking slept in the open, and the whole person was dark and thin. His whole body was covered with mud, and looking at his appearance, he knew that Hei Feng had also suffered a lot of sins.
"Big brother, I'm back!"
Su Ren smiled: "Okay, come to roast the fire, it's frozen, right?" Brute, let the brothers who came here boil some hot porridge, eat to warm their bodies, and then clean up the horses, they dare not be stirred by the rain, in case they get sick, it will be very troublesome. β
The bull agreed, turned around and went out again.
Sitting by the fire roasting his frozen hands, Hawking spit out the muddy water in his mouth: "Damn, what is this heaven-shattering, it's June, and it's so cold when it rains!" β
Su Ren looked at Hawking, since this kid followed him, he has not suffered less. Touching Hawking's wet head, he helped spread the bun with his own hands: "This is Mobei, it can't be compared with the Central Plains, let alone Shuzhong, how about it, Ma Yi is okay?" β
Hawking hurriedly took out the silk silk from his arms: "Big brother, you haven't gone back, I almost didn't recognize it when I went back this time, the original cold and deserted place is now booming, shops, horse teams are next to each other, Huns, Wuhuan people, Han people and some unnamed guys are all where they are, in my opinion, they are about to catch up with Wuzhou, no, it is better than Wuzhou." 8ο½Β·ο½=ο½Β·οΌ =β
The letter was written by Han Qing. He has already begun to arrange the delivery of grain to the Xiongnu, and promised that he will make a good handover with Yu Dan. At the same time, Han Qing also said that there is also news that the thorns of the bandits in Taihang Mountain have been gathered, and the bandits have also been gathered, and now they are being integrated, and once there is an improvement, they can drive into the Xiongnu at any time. The repair of Yanmen Pass has also come to an end, and Li Guang and Cheng do not know whether they have built a field at the foot of Yanmen Mountain, and the officials and soldiers have a good response, and many other things.
Su Ren was reading the letter, Hawking's mouth never stopped, and he kept introducing Ma Yi's situation to Su Ren: "Brother Liang, do you know each other?" It is the old Liang who used to sell cloth in warm water, and now the old boy is left to sit at home and count the money, a piece of cloth is transported from Shu for as much as fifty yuan, and it is a good horse when it changes hands, and then it is sold to the court tenfold! Cui Fatzi's eyes were red when he saw it, and he kept telling me that the eldest brother didn't call him unrighteous, hahaha......"
"Lao Cui also arrived in Mayi?"
"Not really! Cui Fatzi, this guy is even more ruthless, his business is the largest, specializing in selling food, and I see more than this amount in daily income! Hawking stretched out a palm and shook five fingers.
Su Ren smiled: "Don't be envious, 10% of their money is ours!" β
Hawking nodded vigorously with a smile: "By the way, I caught someone on the way back, and my eldest brother must want to meet him." β
"Oh? Who? β
Hawking shouted out the door, and Huang Thirteen walked in with a thin guy. This person is as thin as skin and bones, and seeing Huang Shisan's posture carrying that person, he feels that he does not weigh a pound. The man looked a little familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't recognize it.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" There was a violent cough, and the guy was about to cough and breathe. As soon as Huang Shisan let go, the man lay on the ground like mud.
"Are you ......?"
"Uncle Yao loves to see Mr. Su!"
"Uncle Yao?" Su Ren felt that the name was very familiar, and began to recall with a frown.
Hawking said: "Big brother, don't think about it, do you remember the scholar we met on the Wei River when we first came to Chang'an?" β
"Oh ......! Come to think of it, this? β
"Sick! It seemed that the illness was not light, but I caught it halfway, and it turned out to be fifty guards to protect it, and it was quite a waste of hands and feet when I caught it. β
Su Ren stared at Uncle Yao for a long time: "Mr. Yao also came to the grassland?" β
Uncle Yao let out a sigh of relief, his face turned pale, and he shook his head slightly: "No, I have been in Han Land, and I was invited to the grassland this time, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by Huo Gongzi on the way." β
"Invited? Who? β
Yao Shuai coughed again: "Guo Xie is dead, and he is a waste person in the next place, and now he is seriously ill, so he can only go to some old people." β
"Liu Hong?"
Uncle Yao nodded.
Su Ren smiled: "Then you are really good enough, Liu Hong is in the royal court of Yizhixi, the king of the left valley of Yinshan, here is the royal court of the wolf Juxu Mountain, it seems that Mr. has walked through." β
Uncle Yao smiled dismally: "In the current situation, it is the same everywhere." β
"What is Liu Hong looking for you?"
Uncle Yao didn't speak, he supported himself with both hands, and it took a lot of strength to put the two broken legs together and sit on the ground.
Huang 13 was furious: "Say, Mr. asks you, if you don't want to die, you can honestly confess!" β
Uncle Yao glanced at Su Renai: "Can Mr. Su give up a cup of hot tea?" In the lower health is not good, along the way, the wind and food, sleeping in the open can be considered a big fate, after drinking tea, Mr. Su asked something, and said what he said in the next. β
Huang Shisan raised his foot and was about to kick, but was stopped by Su Ren: "Give him a cup of hot water." β
Huang Shisan glared at Uncle Yao and got a cup of hot water for Uncle Yao. Holding a warm teacup and taking a sip of hot water, I felt that my body was not so cold, and the color on my face was a little better, at least with some blood.
Coughing a few more times, Uncle Yao said: "As soon as I arrived here, I heard that Mr.'s personal guard had a conflict with the life of Yi Zhixi, the king of Zuogu Li, and Yi Zhixie wanted Mr. to find out the truth. β
Su Ren said with a smile: "Mr. Yao's news is really well-informed, exactly!" β
"Then Mr. Su would like to hear about the construction in the next place?"
"Please!"
Uncle Yao took a deep breath and drank again: "It's better for Mr. not to meddle in this matter, although Mr. is also involved, but it is not Mr. You who will be dealt with under the guarantee, as long as Mr. looks on coldly, this fire will naturally not burn on Mr., if Mr. stretches out his hand, then he will be involved, even if Mr. wants to stop, I am afraid there is no chance." β
"Oh? Does Mr. Yao know who is behind the scenes? β
Uncle Yao nodded: "Naturally, I know, but I won't sue Mr. SΓΉ in the future, even if Mr. wants to kill me, it's useless." β
"In that case, why is Mr. Yao telling me this?"
"Huh!" Uncle Yao smiled and said: "It's nothing more than nosy, in fact, I really want to see what the result of Mr. Su's participation will be, but unfortunately my health is not satisfactory, I'm afraid I can't wait for that time." β
"Then Mr. Yao, can you tell me about that person's ultimate purpose?"
Uncle Yao shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it!" β
Yao Shuai was a dying man, although he didn't say anything, Su Ren felt that he had figured out the direction. No matter who the person behind is, this person's ability to use calculations can be described as perfect. There are not many people with such scheming, at least there are not many people Su Ren knows, and there are not many in the Xiongnu. Therefore, the goal must change, and the Han people, or the Han people on the grassland, are a good direction.
