"We usually eat instant noodles with dried meat, kimchi, etc. during lunch break," said Su Nanxing. "But we are running low on food now, so it would be nice to go hunting."
Su Nanxing took out a small box of seasoning and said, "This is a barbecue seasoning developed by a friend I just met. It tastes amazing when used on barbecue!"
Having said that, Su Nanxing quickly took out two pieces of dried meat and gave them to Su Mu and Zeng Lin.
Zeng Lin glanced at Su Mu and saw him nod before he took the dried meat and started eating.
"This is also the dried meat developed by the other party. It is particularly fragrant. You should try it quickly!" Su Nanxing strongly recommended it and handed a piece to Gu Jingmo, who was narrating.
Many of the villagers in the back had no place to live, so they took out some dried meat and started eating it in small bites.
Su Mu took a bite and his eyes lit up. "No wonder you praised it so highly. It's really delicious. There's not a single fishy or muttony smell, and the meat isn't tough or dry at all."
Su Nanxing nodded, "He's a doctor. This dried meat is made with a lot of medicinal herbs. Eating more of it is good for your health."
I brought a lot with me on this trip.
Even among the villagers, the most common thing they bring is dried meat!
Oh no, there are also instant noodles and sausages."
Gu Jingmo saw a good place to set up camp, so he said, "We can set up camp right in front. General Zeng and I will take our men hunting, and Nanxing, you take everyone to prepare other things."
"Okay, be careful." Su Nanxing said.
Gu Jingmo nodded and took Zeng Lin and five or six soldiers into the forest.
Su Nanxing took the rest of the people and started collecting firewood, looking for wild vegetables, making a fire, and cooking instant noodles!
"Su Mu, I heard General Zeng call you sir!" Su Nanxing said curiously.
Su Mu smiled and said, "In the capital, everyone calls me that. Although I have a pseudonym, my surname remains the same, so everyone calls me Mr. Su."
Su Nanxing was not quite convinced. "I think you must be really capable, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make a general willingly call you sir and escort you back to Nanqing City for thousands of miles."
Su Mu smiled and said, "It just happened that I saved his family, so General Zeng respected me a little more."
Su Nanxing became interested. "Can you tell me? I feel like you must have lived a very bloody and dangerous life in the capital."
As she spoke, Su Nanxing became worried, "Fortunately, you came back safely."
"Fortunately, I mainly come up with bad ideas behind the scenes, so it's usually safe." Su Mu made a little joke, and then began to briefly tell the story of the capital.
The first thing to talk about is naturally the story between me and General Zeng.
General Zeng's family was framed by a traitor, and the emperor sentenced the entire family to death.
Just before the execution, Prince Zhennan brought his men to the capital.
Because the Prince of Zhennan has some friendship with the Zeng family, and General Zeng would never do anything like collaborating with the enemy or committing treason.
After investigation, it turned out that it was a cousin of the emperor's favorite concubine who fell in love with General Zeng's son.
That is Zeng Lin’s father.
Yes, that’s right. The other party was not interested in Zeng Lin, but Zeng Lin’s father, a man in his thirties who had a wife, son and daughter.
Zeng Lin's father would definitely not agree, even if it meant letting her be a concubine.
After all, General Zeng, as a loyal royalist, has always been a mortal enemy of the imperial concubine's party.
Originally, General Zeng thought that with the Zeng family's loyalty to the emperor, the emperor would protect the Zeng family no matter what he said and would not do anything foolish.
But the Zeng family never expected that the emperor would lose his composure because of just a few words from the imperial concubine.
He asked Zeng Lin's father to divorce his wife and then marry the imperial concubine's cousin.
Zeng Lin's father was so angry that he ran to the door of his cousin's house and asked her if she couldn't get married and why she had to marry him, a man who would already have grandchildren!
General Zeng did not stop him because he began to wonder whether the emperor had given up on the Zeng family or whether the other party was really so incompetent.
The rebel kings were causing chaos everywhere, but the emperor was still forcing his subjects to divorce their wives and marry other people at this time.
What a ridiculous thing!
But before General Zeng could figure out the reason, Zeng Lin's mother died unexpectedly.
He died quietly in his own house after drinking a bowl of tonic soup.
After the imperial physician diagnosed the patient, he said it was just a sudden serious illness and not poisoning.
But how is that possible?
There was also a doctor in the mansion who had always been checking Ping'an's pulse. He had always been in good health, but suddenly he fell ill.
The doctor in the mansion couldn't figure it out, and the imperial physician in the palace might be able to figure out the reason, but he couldn't tell.
In the end, the Prince of Zhennan took the doctor and secretly went to Zeng's house, and it turned out that he was indeed poisoned.
Even an ordinary doctor could tell it was poisonous.
Even if he is an imperial physician, without experience, he probably wouldn't know.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually used this precious royal secret medicine for the concubine's cousin.
General Zeng felt tired. After seeing off Prince Zhennan, he immediately received an imperial edict from the palace.
It is said that Zeng Lin's father, since he had lost his wife, it was just right for him to marry the imperial concubine's cousin.
After receiving the imperial edict, General Zeng made a decision.
That night, Zeng Lin was knocked unconscious by his family and then handed over to the Prince of Zhennan.
Immediately afterwards, news came out that General Zeng had colluded with the enemy and committed treason.
The entire Zeng family was executed for betraying the government, and Zeng Lin also became a wanted criminal.
That’s right, when the rebels were wreaking havoc, the emperor unjustly killed General Zeng and his family who had rushed back from the border to protect the emperor.
After receiving the news, Prince Zhennan immediately gathered his advisers and began to think about how to rescue more members of the Zeng family.
