Chapter 175: Eating Meat and Going Stupid
As the carriage turned out of the village, the silent young man spoke: "Let's go to the County Magistrate's Mansion."
Xiaoyu was shocked: "Sir, you can't go. The governor of Liangzhou is different from other places. He can report directly to the emperor!"
The fact that the prince gave the jade pendant to a guilty minister was enough to terrify him.
But he knew his own prince's temper very well and did not dare to stop him.
"The Huo family is very nice. Let's go now that we've seen them!"
Just quietly look at the person, don't make things more complicated!
If the county governor here tells His Majesty, who knows what trouble will happen!
But Hua Buyan said another word in a heavy tone.
"go."
This is anger.
Xiaoyu didn't dare to disobey. She exchanged a helpless look with the guards and drove towards the county magistrate's mansion.
County Magistrate's Office.
Bai Yi hasn't eaten yet, he is worried about food!
The relief food arrived slower and slower each time, and the last batch was even robbed!
He actually had some doubts, was it a robbery or was it not given at all!
The emperor's reply was also perfunctory. He sent five letters but only replied to one, and it was very perfunctory.
This time, several cities have suffered from locust plagues, which are more serious than those in Liangzhou. If the court does not transport grain as soon as possible, there will inevitably be chaos.
Jincheng had no food and could not borrow any. He sent several letters for help to other cities, but there was no response.
Where can I get food during this period?
“If you live on the mountain, you have to find food from the mountain.”
"There are wild grasses on the mountain, but all the edible ones have been dug up. People dare not eat the rest. Some will cause poisoning after eating them once, while others will take several days to cause poisoning. People can't tell the difference." Ding Sandao said.
Doctors do know more, but they only know about medicinal herbs. All medicines are poisonous and cannot be taken as food.
"It would be nice if there was someone who understood." Bai Yi sighed.
But who has time to study some wild weeds?
Dingsan felt so sad when he saw Bai Yi's new white hair.
As soon as I saw it, I remembered what Sang Ning said about adults turning forty.
Hey? Sang?
His eyes lit up.
"Sir! We can find Sang, I think she will understand.
The wild vegetables used in her shop were dug from the mountains. She also transplanted them into her home as vegetable seeds, and they were taller than cabbages!
Before, my subordinates had seen her catch wild animals and find big bird eggs, but they couldn't find them even after running deep into the mountains.
The Huo family members are all well-fed and plump, and they can also find water, predict locust plagues, and even discover treasures buried deep in the ground."
The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
"She's good at physiognomy and geomancy. Could she be a descendant of the Dongshan Xuanmen sect?"
Dongshan Xuanmen?
That is something that only exists in legends, and is said to be a metaphysical school from hundreds of years ago.
They are said to be extremely powerful, such as geomancy, physiognomy, flying, magic, prediction, etc. People compare them to gods.
It is located on the top of Dongshan, the highest mountain in Dongyang.
On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, many people kneel down at the foot of the mountain and pray.
To this day, the people living nearby still worship the statue of the ancestor of Xuanmen in their homes!
However, some people later verified that they were all false.
The summit of East Mountain is several thousand feet high. Halfway up, the investigators became breathless, their bodies became frozen and stiff, and they were unable to walk.
There are simply no conditions for human survival there.
"Don't talk nonsense. She must have read books on this subject. Didn't Mrs. Huo say that she is very knowledgeable, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people? Let's go find her tomorrow."
Bai Yi also felt that Sang Ning had some magical powers, and he had some ideas in mind. He was also very hungry, so he asked people to serve him food.
Someone rushed in from outside.
Shouted: "Sir, there is a prince outside looking for you, from the capital!"
Ding San scolded: "What persimmon? It's a plum! It's fake! Beat him out!"
There was nothing unusual at the city gate during the day. If an important person had come, he would have been reported long ago.
Not to mention the prince, it is impossible for those noble ladies to set foot in the barren land of Liangzhou.
However, soon the man came in with a swagger, and the gate guards and a group of palace soldiers could not even get close to him. They were all knocked over by the four guards around him.
"Prince Kangyuan Hua Buyan." Xiaoyu raised a gold medal and faced Bai Yi.
Bai Yi took a closer look and it was true!
A true royal relative, the emperor’s nephew!
Seeing that he was dressed casually and brought only a few people with him, could it be that the emperor secretly sent him to convey important matters?
Bai Yi immediately saluted solemnly and respectfully.
Ding San swallowed his saliva. Is he really the prince?
He is really handsome.
He wouldn't hold him accountable for his rude words, would he? He was so frightened that he quietly hid against the wall.
"I wonder what the prince wants to convey to Liangzhou?"
"Protect the Huo family." Hua Buyan looked at Bai Yi, his calm eyes carrying a hint of sharpness.
Just this one sentence, that's all.
It's completely nonsense.
Bai Yi was inexplicably asking, "Sir, do you have the Emperor's decree?"
The boy tilted his head slightly.
Xiaoyu immediately said solemnly, "My prince said that the Huo family is in your territory, so you have to protect it well, otherwise..."
He deliberately spoke vaguely, but his meaning was clear, which was to protect the Huo family.
I just don't know who meant it?
Hua Buyan was particularly dissatisfied with Xiaoyu's substitution this time.
He looked over quietly, his eyes cold.
Xiaoyu regretted it.
The master is a very sensitive person. As long as he feels that you are not good, he will immediately distance himself from you.
Although he thought he was protecting his master, he actually went against his master's wishes.
I was just about to mention Bai Yi again.
Then the master himself spoke: "The Huo family, protect them well. If anything goes wrong, we will fight to the death!"
Although Hua Buyan's words were a little inadequate, Bai Yi understood them.
If something happens to the Huo family on his territory, will the Prince of Kangyuan deal with him to the death?
Feelings were not sent by the emperor, but came for the Huo family.
Good God, does the emperor know that his nephew is here protecting a guilty minister?
However, this prince's temperament is really rare and most people would avoid him!
He actually traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou in person, not avoiding him, but coming to warn him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as you behave yourself, I will not make things difficult for any of the prisoners." Bai Yi said in a businesslike manner.
Hua Buyan seemed dissatisfied and looked at Bai Yi silently for a long time.
Bai Yi responded calmly.
The chef from the mansion brought up the food: a dish of shriveled fried peanuts and a plate of blackened cabbage stewed with vermicelli.
There was also a bowl of disgusting shit.
Xiaoyu ate too much tonight and the food reached her throat. When she saw that lump, she almost vomited.
"Prince, would you like some food?" Bai Yi invited.
He wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about what was happening in the capital. Was there something wrong with the emperor?
"No." Hua Buyan took a step back.
"Goodbye."
Why?
Leaving now?
Are you here just to give that warning?
Hua Buyan turned around and left without hesitation.
Xiaoyu followed closely, muttering, "Really? The wild vegetables in Liangzhou are so delicious, why do you have to eat shit?"
Bai Yi: “…”
Ding San: “…”
When he could no longer see anyone, Ding San jumped up in anger and cursed, "Fuck you... these dandies who can't even tell the difference between grains and vegetables. They think wild vegetables are delicious, but they've been eating meat in the capital and are now stupid!"
