Chapter 67: Poisoning
The county lord of Nirui is deeply loved by the queen mother, and the work of harmony may not fall on her, but she is the county lord of the royal family after all, and no one can be sure that the princess will not be her, after all, there are not many women suitable for the royal family.
Situ Yimo couldn't help but be a little worried when she thought of this, but when she saw that the Nirui County Lord's face was extremely good just now, she shouldn't have heard about the matter of coming to Heqin, or she wasn't worried at all.
"County Lord, are you worried about the County Lord of Nirui and the pro-North Vietnamese?" Xinglu saw Situ Yimo leaning on the soft collapse, looking thoughtful, she thought about it and felt that the county lord of her family should be worried about the county lord of Nirui, afraid that she would be close to North Vietnam.
North Vietnam is not only far away from Nanning, but the environment is still very bad, ice and snow all year round, even food is very scarce, I heard that the people of North Vietnam are vulgar and lazy by nature. If it was the lord of Ni Rui and pro-North Vietnam, it would be a disaster.
"The eldest princess is the emperor's own sister, and the lord of Nirui is her only daughter, the emperor should not let her and his relatives Beiyue, but I am worried."
Situ Yimo smiled, she raised the curtains, raised her eyes to look at the carriage in front, her eyebrows were crooked, she stared for a long time before retracting her gaze, and then glanced at the gradually unfamiliar environment around her before she lowered the curtain and leaned on the soft collapse.
"We have to walk for a long time all the way to the south, and Xi'er often follows Mr. Song to play in the mountains and rivers, but she can also adapt to it."
Xinglu smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Shizi has been looking forward to riding a horse since yesterday. ”
"The climate in the south is mild, and there will be no cold dew on the road, and when you get to the south, Xiao Shizi can ride a horse whenever he wants." Gan Tang packed the package and said with a smile.
Situ Yimo thought about it, southern Xinjiang is very warm all year round, and it seems that there has never been snow or ice. However, southern Xinjiang is close to the river basin, sometimes there are floods, food is also very scarce, and there are often small maritime countries to invade.
One of the most powerful of them is the Night Ghost Kingdom, who call themselves the dragons of the sea. However, they are also very secretive and generally do not send troops into battle easily. Especially after the war six years ago, they avoided the world, as if they had disappeared into the sea.
Further south, the surrounding small countries are facing the scorching heat, food creatures have no way to survive, life is difficult, no food, no water source, in order to survive, but also have to compete with Nanning for land plundering ponds, among which the most fierce is Ganhanguo.
Gan Hanguo would come to make trouble almost once a month, and although they couldn't take advantage of it every time, they never gave up attacking. Sometimes, Situ Yimo admires their perseverance.
But the biggest threat in southern Xinjiang is not the Ganhan Kingdom, nor the Night Charm Kingdom of the Sea Dragon Clan, but the Desert Sand Thallium Royal Family. Back then, Situ Yimo's father was killed in a battle with the sand thallium royal family.
Southern Xinjiang
In order to welcome the New Year, Situ Yimo and they hurried all the way, and finally arrived in southern Xinjiang after 16 days, the climate in southern Xinjiang is pleasant, they feel very warm as soon as they get off the car, as if they are embracing the sun, which makes people's mood much more relaxed.
Southern Xinjiang has the blue fox army of Situ Wangfu to guard, the people live and work in peace and contentment, live leisurely and leisurely, and the several towns they pass through are lively and active atmosphere, which makes people can't help but be full of joy.
The soldiers of Situ Wangfu are guarded in Yanmen Pass, the most edge of southern Xinjiang, there are people from the Blue Fox Army patrolling all the way, the guards are rigorous, seamless, every point has someone standing at every moment, the watchtower has 3,000 feet, and the whole southern Xinjiang can be seen in full view.
So as soon as Situ Yimo's carriage arrived in southern Xinjiang, the Blue Fox Army knew about it.
"Mo'er, Xi'er!"
A beautiful female voice came, with a little softness hidden in the domineering, and I saw a woman in red clothes and armor walking over, she was the emperor's own Bauhinia general, Situ Jinghan, Situ Yimo's aunt.
"Auntie!"
"Auntie!"
When Situ Yimo saw her aunt, she was happy and excited, and hurriedly walked over and saluted and shouted at her.
Situ Jinghan was also very excited, hugging Situ Yimo's shoulder, looking at her carefully, nodding frequently, and then seeing the little Situ Xi, tears flashed in her eyes, she hugged Situ Xi excitedly, and sighed with relief.
"My Xi'er, they've grown so big!"
"Auntie, Xi'er is still young, not too big!"
"Hehehe--"
"Yes, yes, my Xi'er is still a child, or a little naughty that my aunt likes!"
Situ Jinghan smiled dotingly, she was reluctant to let go of Situ Xi in her arms, and when she saw the military master Mr. Xin Lin coming, she was stunned, and then her eyes darkened, and her hand holding Situ Xi tightened a little.
"Little county lord, little prince." An elegant elderly man in white walked up, his bright and vicissitudes of eyes full of wisdom.
He is the military advisor of General Situ, Fu Xinlin, who has followed General Situ to the battlefield for more than 30 years. The world calls him "a one-man strategy is stronger than a million heroes." ”
The people of Nanning are rumored that there are two gods in southern Xinjiang, one is the martial god Situ Haocang, and the other is the god of literature Fu Xinlin, and the two gods are indispensable.
"Grandpa Fu, I've grown up, and you still call me the little county lord."
Situ Yimo likes Mr. Fu very much, because those eyes that seem to be able to see through everything are very attractive. and his unpredictable wisdom, six Tao and three strategies, all of which made her admire.
Mr. Fu and General Situ are outside, one is a general and the other is a military advisor, but in private, they are good brothers from birth to death, and they have a friendship of more than 30 years.
When Situ Yimo was born, Fu Xinlin also hugged her and loved her as his own granddaughter, and Situ Yimo always called him Grandpa Fu.
"Hahaha - in the eyes of the old man, the little princess has always been a cute little girl." Mr. Fu touched his long beard and said with a smile, looking at the fair girl in front of him, his eyes were full of relief.
Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Situ Qinhan and reminded,
"General, let's go in first and then talk about it, the little county lord and the little prince are in a hurry, and they are also tired, so let's eat and eat first, and let's talk while eating."
"Yes, yes, yes, I was so excited to see me visiting, forgetting that my Mo'er and Xi'er were still hungry!"
Situ Jinghan hugged Situ Xi and led Situ Yimo to walk inside, she had already learned that they had arrived in southern Xinjiang, and the meals had already been prepared in advance, and southern Xinjiang was off the coast, so most of this meal came from the sea, including scallops, crabs, fish and shrimp......
Situ Yimo liked to eat seafood in her previous life, although Weicheng also had seafood, but it was still not as fat and delicious as the fish and shrimp in southern Xinjiang, so she ate this meal very fragrantly.
Situ Xi likes to eat shrimp the most, and when he sees the fat lobster, his eyes light up, and he eats happily.
Situ Jinghan looked at the happy faces of the two children, especially these two faces were so similar to her brother, her nose was sour, and the tears of her tears flashed one after another.
"Auntie, when will Grandpa come back?"
Situ Yimo knew that her grandfather would go to the camp every day to train troops and survey the situation of the enemy country, it was still early, and her grandfather should not have come back so soon, but he knew that they had come to southern Xinjiang, so he must have come back earlier.
"yes, Xi'er misses grandpa so much!"
The corners of Situ Jinghan's eyebrows jumped, and then she gently stroked Situ Xi's little head, and said with a smile, "Grandpa misses you a lot, and he talks about you every day!" When grandpa is done, he will be back. ”
"Well, Xi'er is waiting for Grandpa to come back!"
"My Ci'er is so good!"
Situ Jinghan's cold face was full of pampering, she thought for a while and asked, "Do you want Xi'er to ride a horse later?" ”
"Yes!"
"Then let Uncle Zhou take you to ride a horse later, okay?"
"Good!"
Situ Yimo looked at Situ Xi's happy appearance, and her face was also full of doting, but she looked at her aunt and felt strange in her heart, suddenly Situ Jinghan also looked at Situ Yimo, the eyes of the two collided, Situ Yimo was stunned for a moment, and her heart tightened.
After lunch, Situ Xi was taken by General Zhou to ride a horse, Situ Yimo personally sent him out, seeing them walking away, she looked at Situ Jinghan, and just wanted to say something, she heard her whisper, "Follow me." ”
Situ Yimo was very flustered, she followed Situ Jinghan, turned left and right at Yanmen Pass, came to the back of the rockery, saw Situ Jinghan press the mechanism, the tall rockery moved, they walked into a secret garden, which was planted with blue flowers, and there was a cave next to it, faintly cold.
"Come in."
"Auntie, this is ......"
"Come in and talk about it."
Situ Jinghan's face sank, she looked at Situ Yimo in a very complicated mood, but when she thought of it, her heart hurt.
"These people are ......"
"Uncle Mo, Uncle Wei!"
"They ......"
The cave was icy and snowy, Situ Yimo was really surprised, she walked in in surprise, and before she walked a few steps, she saw two people lying on the long ice block, she took a closer look, and found that it was a familiar face, she was very frightened.
"Auntie, what's wrong with them?"
"Poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Situ Yimo was startled, and suddenly thought of something, she looked inside in a hurry, and found that there was still a person lying behind the ice curtain, she first took a step back, guessed something, felt a pain in her heart, and her body trembled a little, before she mustered up the courage to go inside.
When her eyes fell on the vicissitudes of life that seemed to be frozen, her center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and she fell back several steps, tears couldn't help but fall.
She fell to her knees, clenched her big cold hand tightly, her nose was sour, and she shook her head and shouted, "Grandpa, grandpa......"
"Auntie, what's wrong with Grandpa?"
"Mo'er, don't cry yet."
Situ Jinghan glanced at the pale old man who was unconscious with tears in her eyes, her hands were clenched, her nose was sore, but she couldn't help it, she gently patted Situ Yimo's shoulder, looking at her tearful face, feeling guilty and unbearable.
"My father was also poisoned, very rare poison, fortunately there is a medical saint, otherwise...... However, without an antidote, he couldn't save his father, so my aunt had to force you to come to southern Xinjiang. ”
Situ Yimo wiped her tears, she didn't understand, her little hands were red from the cold, and she didn't see her moved, let alone let go, still holding her grandfather's hand tightly.
"My aunt asked me to come to southern Xinjiang? But that letter is clearly grandpa's handwriting? ”
As soon as the words fell, Situ Yimo thought of Fu Junshi, and immediately understood, "Is it a letter written by Grandpa Fu imitating Grandpa's handwriting?" ”
"Hmm."
