For the past two days, the king of Chu has been in Kyoto in Wusun. Under the leadership of the people arranged by Liang Run, he visited the famous generosity of Wusun Kyoto, and also tasted the unique food of Wusun. However, in the past two days, he ate the most locusts, including braised locusts, fried locusts, barbecued locusts, salt and pepper locusts, and Wusun's special flavor.

Before, when he was in the north, the king of Chu ate locusts suddenly. At first, when he heard that locusts could be eaten, he didn't believe it and thought it was nonsense. Later, when he learned that the person who said that locusts could eat was Zhao Yao, he no longer doubted it and ate it without hesitation. Not to mention, whether it is braised or fried, or grilled, it tastes good.

He ate it every day in the north, and he didn't get tired of it, so when he came to Wusun, he saw that there were also locusts sold here, so he bought some to eat. Although the taste of the locusts made by Wusun is a little strange, it is not so unpleasant to eat.

The king of Chu also found that in addition to selling locusts for food, Wusun also sold things related to locusts. For example, locusts made of grass, locusts carved from wood, and locusts are embroidered on cloth or clothes, or on fans. In addition to these, there are other places where locusts are also found. However, the appearance of these locusts is somewhat peculiar, they are all fat and round. At first, I thought it was strange, but after watching it too much, I inexplicably felt cute.

Discovering that the pattern of locusts could be seen everywhere in Wusun's Kyoto, the king of Chu was full of doubts, so he asked Liang Run what was going on.

"This is all the idea of His Royal Highness the King of Han." Liang Run took off the money bag from his waist and handed it to the King of Chu, "Look, the money bag is also embroidered with locusts. ”

The king of Chu took Liang Run's money bag, looked at it carefully, and found that a strange locust was embroidered on the front of the money bag, and four words were embroidered next to it: "Fight poison with poison".

"Fighting poison with poison?" The king of Chu didn't understand what the locusts had to do with fighting poison with poison?

Liang Run explained: "Aren't locusts a natural disaster, embroidering locusts or carving locusts on money bags or clothes, or other places, you can fight poison with poison. ”

King Chu's face became a little strange, and he thought: Locusts are indeed natural disasters, but how can locusts be embroidered or engraved with poison?

"To be precise, use natural disasters to overcome natural disasters." Liang Run said again, "His Royal Highness the King of Han also said that this will make people no longer afraid of locusts, and don't talk about locusts. ”

King Chu chuckled and said, "Only the tenth brother can come up with such a ......," he considered his words, "a wild idea." ”

Liang Run thought to himself, isn't it? In the past, he had always felt that he had long been accustomed to Yaoyao's "unbelievable" ideas, but when Yaoyao said that locusts could be eaten and could make money, he was still shocked and felt that Yaoyao's idea was too ridiculous. He thought that no one would eat locusts, and no one would buy anything related to locusts, so he was slapped in the face, and the locusts were doing very well.

"Are these locust-related things selling well?" Locusts have been a natural disaster since ancient times, and any locust plague will cause the people to have no food and many people will starve to death. As for the locusts, not only the people, but also the princes and ministers hated and feared and hated them. Even if the locusts were to be eaten now, the people would probably hate them and would not be able to buy anything related to the locusts. I'm afraid that this idea of the tenth brother will not work.

"It's selling very well, and now every household in Wusun will buy locust-related things." After Liang Run finished speaking, he was very shocked when he saw King Chu's expression, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. "It also sold very well during the big week. By the way, Annam and Johor are also selling very well. Now the glass is carved with locusts. ”

The King of Chu was stunned and said, "Really fake? ”

"Really."

"This ...... How can it be? King Chu was dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, although everyone is afraid of locusts, if locusts can fight poison with poison, people are very happy to buy them, because everyone does not want another locust plague." This is what Yao Yao said: "It is better to believe what it has than to believe it, but not to believe what it does not have". "Besides, now that the locusts have become vegetables, people are not as afraid of them as they used to be. The restaurant owners here in the Western Regions wish that there would be another locust plague, so that they can rely on locusts to make another big profit. ”

Some time ago, after learning that locusts can be eaten, as well as the effects of nourishing the face and beautifying the face, and strengthening the kidneys, merchants from various countries in the Western Regions went around to catch and buy locusts.

In these days, the locusts have been caught, and they have almost been eaten. In the past, every time there was a locust plague, there would be no grass and no grain in the places it passed. Where the locust plague passed this year, they themselves are gone. It is estimated that the locusts did not expect that one day they would become vegetables and be eaten by people.

"The idea of the tenth brother eating locusts is very good." When they were in the north, everyone was rushing to eat locusts. The common people and merchants were very active in catching locusts. Many people made a lot of money by catching locusts.

When he first went to the north, he saw the people happily catching locusts, and the king of Chu couldn't help but want to laugh.

"A few days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Han also asked me to send a lot of locusts to the capital. I heard that the emperor took the lead in eating locusts, and then the people of the entire capital also ate them, and now the restaurants in the capital are also buying locusts everywhere, but unfortunately the locusts in the north have been caught. "Now that I think about it, I think it's incredible to eat locusts." Over there in the south of the Yangtze River, I also sent some back to Yangzhou, but no one dared to eat them at first, and I hated that the people in the north were barbarians, and even locusts were eaten. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for them to fall in love with eating locusts, and no one said that eating locusts was bad. "For a long time, the people of Jiangnan have looked down on northerners. I heard that when the northerners ate locusts, the people in Jiangnan were all mocking and disgusting. When they ate the locusts, they stopped laughing at the northerners. In Yaoyao's words, this is called true fragrance.

"Where else am I catching locusts?" Fortunately, they went around hunting locusts at the beginning, and they caught a lot of them, but they were sold out in these days, and there was not much left.

"This locust plague can survive without danger, thanks to the tenth brother." The idea of the tenth brother not only prevented the grain from being plagued by locusts, but also allowed the people to make some money by catching locusts. The most important thing is that from now on, the people will no longer have to fear the locust plague.

"By the way, Your Highness, I also sent locusts to your house before."

"I know, you and the tenth brother have a heart."

"Your Highness is polite, locusts are not a good thing."

The king of Chu returned the money bag in his hand to Liang Run, "Are these things embroidered with locusts sold in the capital?" ”

"Yes, there are also sales in Jiangnan, and they sell very well." Liang Run recommended to the King of Chu, "Your Highness, the embroidery here in the Western Regions is different from that of the Great Zhou, you can buy some and give them back to your family and friends." ”

"I'll buy it later." As soon as King Chu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression instantly became serious, "Do you know the forbidden medicine of the Da Yue Clan?" ”

Liang Run's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Da Yue's forbidden medicine?!" ”

As soon as he saw Liang Run's reaction, King Chu knew that he knew.

"Do you know what Otsutsuki's forbidden medicine is?"

Liang Run said with a solemn face: "Your Highness, there are many forbidden medicines in the Dayue Clan, but among them, the most famous one is a poison, called Mannaluo. ”

"Mannaro?" The King of Chu looked puzzled and said, "What kind of poison is this?" ”

"Mannara is also a mandala, and this flower is poisonous."

The king of Chu knew the mandala, which is a kind of flower of Tianzhu.

Liang Run continued: "The poison of the Great Moon Clan's Mannara is not simply made of Mannara, that is, a mandala, but is refined with more than a dozen poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs, as well as poisonous insects. ”

"See blood seal your throat?"

Liang Run shook his head and said, "This Mannaro poison is not like the Heding Red of our Great Zhou, and you will die immediately if you drink it." This poison does not kill people immediately, it will take seven days for the poison to erupt, and when the poison occurs, the internal organs will become a pile of mud, but there is no change in the appearance of the person. ”

The king of Chu is very good at grasping the key, "What does it mean that there is no change in the appearance of people?" ”

"Your Highness, generally poisoned people will have puffiness, or purple or black face or something, but people who have been poisoned by Mannaro will not have these conditions, on the contrary, they will be radiant, just like returning to the light, the most bizarre thing is that after the death of the poisoned person, the body will not decay for a year and a half."

The King of Chu was surprised when he heard this, "And this poison?" ”

"The people of the royal family of the Otsuki clan, in order not to rot for the time being after death, will deliberately take Manaro, and for this reason, Mannaro has become a forbidden drug of the Otsuki clan, and only the royal family of the Otsuki clan can take it." After Liang Run finished speaking, he realized that the King of Chu was far away in the capital and should not know about the forbidden medicine of the Da Yue Clan, so he asked curiously, "Your Highness, how do you know about the forbidden medicine of the Da Yue Clan?" ”

"I've heard that someone deliberately buys Otsutsuki's forbidden medicine, but I don't know what Otsutsuki's forbidden medicine is." The King of Chu asked again, "What are the other forbidden drugs of the Dayue Clan?" ”

"All the other forbidden drugs are aphrodisiacs or other strange drugs, but this Mannaro is poison. If someone buys Otsutsuki's forbidden medicine, it should be Manara. Liang Run has a better understanding of the affairs of the Western Regions, "All along, there have been people who have tried their best to buy Manaro. "As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Chu came to Wusun, he heard about the forbidden medicine of the Dayue Clan, which should have been told to him by an informant planted by the King of Chu in Wusun. Could it be that there is someone in the capital who wants to buy Manaro?

"Is there an antidote to Manaro?"

"No, but I've heard that Tibetan orchids can alleviate this poison." Liang Run saw that the King of Chu cared so much about Manaro, and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, why do you care so much about the forbidden medicine of the Dayue Clan?" ”

King Chu said in a calm tone: "A little curious. ”

Liang Run felt that the King of Chu couldn't just be curious, and seeing that the King of Chu didn't want to say more, he couldn't ask again.

The king of Chu talked about other things, and did not talk about the Da Yue's forbidden medicine. When he finished speaking, he went out to buy Wusun's souvenirs.

After the king of Chu left, Liang Run immediately called someone and asked him to inquire about the forbidden drugs of the Da Yue clan.

Although the king of Chu wanted to stay in Wusun for a few more days, his status did not allow him to do so. Besides, he still has to go back to Beijing to resume his life.

After staying in Wusun for two days, the king of Chu set off for the capital. He still went back with Liang Run's caravan. However, Liang Run did not go back with him this time. Liang Run had to stay in Wusun for a while.

At this time, the fake King of Chu was still being hunted down. In the past two days, it was not the Assassin who came to assassinate, but the dead. Fortunately, Tiger Thirteen and they were prepared, otherwise they might not be able to resist the pursuit of the dead soldiers.

The dead soldiers sent still couldn't kill the king of Chu, and the king of Han was furious, but no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't kill the king of Chu. Seeing that the King of Chu was about to enter the boundary of Yongzhou, the King of Han was very anxious.

Once the king of Chu entered Yongzhou, then they could not blatantly assassinate the king of Chu.

"Your Highness, for the sake of now, you have no choice but to send our dead soldiers." There is really no way, otherwise Yang Qi would never say such a thing.

King Han didn't want to send the dead soldiers of King Han's Mansion either, but now he had to do that.

"This time the King of Chu must die!"

"Your Highness, our dead man will shoot, and the King of Chu will definitely not live."
