Seeing Su Qing climb out of the window, several people in the room looked at each other and froze.
Zhao Kui still held the shovel in one hand and asked calmly: "Whose grave did His Highness the Crown Prince just say that he wanted to dig up?"
"It seems like he is going to dig his father's grave..."
"Isn't he the general?"
"Quick! Quick! Stop him!"
Everyone cursed and jumped out of the window one after another, making a loud noise. People on the street and in the restaurant walked to the door and saw several generals trotting along, and they kept talking.
"What are you doing? You were drinking well, why did you jump out of the window and run away one after another? You don't have to rush to the brothel. Besides, the brothel hasn't opened yet in broad daylight." A middle-aged man stood at the door of Tianyi Floor. The man took a sip of wine from the wine bowl and spoke slowly. As soon as he finished speaking, his ears hurt. A woman pulled his ear and walked out, cursing: "How do you know so clearly whether the brothel is open or not? Come, come home with me and have a good talk."
"Hey, hey, my wife, let go, it hurts...I heard...I heard..." The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and took a few steps to relieve the pain in his ears. Feeling the pain, the woman twisted her hand back, and the strength in her hand increased a bit. She stepped a few steps faster, and walked several steps before letting go of her hand and walking home. The middle-aged man rubbed his ears and hurried forward to coax him from side to side. It made the people eating and drinking in the restaurant burst into laughter.
"This Hu San is obviously a bastard, but he still dares to say such nasty things in front of his wife. Isn't he asking for a beating? I think this kid won't be able to go to bed for several days."
Everyone laughed, and no one worried about what would happen to Su Qing and others. This was Suzhou City, the Su family's Suzhou City. If something happened to Su Qing and others in the city, unless the city was destroyed, it would just be Su Qing's case again. Found a fun place.
Xu Yun, Su He and others took out a few horses from the stable behind the restaurant, slapped the horses' butts heavily, and chased after Su Qing. Su Zhan's cemetery is not far away. According to Su Zhan's wishes, there is no need to build any tomb or cemetery after his death. He can just be buried in the back hill of Suzhou City together with the soldiers who died in the battle. Those dead brothers have fought with him all their lives, and they will naturally protect the city of Suzhou together after their death.
Not long after, Su Qing rode his horse and whipped up his whip and arrived at the foot of the back mountain of Suzhou City. In his memory, the back mountain was not high. Standing at the highest point, he could overlook the entire Suzhou City. At first, there were many trees on this mountain. As more and more soldiers are being buried, all the trees on the mountain have been cut down to make longevity wood. Now it has become a tomb mountain. In front of each tomb is a stone tablet, which simply says that each person has died. His father, General Su Zhan, is buried at the highest point of the mountain.
Su Qing dismounted from his horse and went up the mountain. The people buried here were all soldiers of the Su family army, uncles and uncles who had watched him grow up. Although some of them were about the same age as him, everyone was worthy of respect. Su Qing looked at the mountain of tombs, bowed slightly and started to go up the mountain.
Although the sun was shining brightly at this time, there was a cool breeze from the moment we stepped into the cemetery. The mountain is not high, and it only takes about an hour for a child to climb to the top. However, it is a bit difficult for Su Qing. After all, his physical strength is not as good as that of ordinary people because of his frailty. The rapid galloping on his horse just now has already taken a toll on his body. The heart and lungs are shaking, and the breathing is a little rapid.
Su Qing coughed a few times, and there was faint blood on the corner of his mouth. He glanced at the top of the mountain and his eyes became more determined. There was a sound of horse hooves behind him. He knew that Xu Yun and others had arrived, but he did not look back, holding a shovel as a crutch. Walking up step by step.
It was Zhao Kui who went to get the shovel and gave it to Su Qing. When he knew that he was going to use the shovel to dig Su Zhan's grave, he felt anxious and regretful. On the way here, he slapped himself hard several times. At this time, he got off his horse and ran to Su Qing in two steps as three steps and said: "I tell you, Your Highness, this... this cannot be done. The general has been buried in peace for many years. Even if you are the son of the general, you can't do it." If you want to dig up the general's grave, I will let you do it even if I die! You can play whatever you want in Suzhou City and make trouble as much as you want. Even if you go to the imperial capital to make a big fuss, I, Old Zhao, will never do it. You say no, but this matter is definitely not negotiable! Besides, the general treats you well. Although he beat you a lot when you were a child, and sent you to Xiongmo for so long, these things... ...You should also understand. If you are really angry with the general, you can spread it on me, or you can cut me with a sword!"
Su Qing listened to Zhao Kui's non-stop chatter, feeling a little annoyed and helpless. She sighed and said, "Uncle Zhao... do you think I am such a person?"
Zhao Kui was stunned and didn't say anything, feeling stupid in his heart. Xu Yun came to the side and asked: "Of course His Royal Highness is not such a person, but why are you doing this?"
Su Qing looked at the top of the mountain and asked silently: "You said the old man was poisoned, have you ever done an autopsy?"
"This matter was told to us personally by the General when we were dealing with him at that time. Is there any truth to this matter?"
"I'm not saying this is false, but there are a lot of strange things in it. Since the poison did not directly kill the old man and sent a murderer to chase him, it means that they knew that the poison in their hands could not directly kill an old man. People who are in the early stage of the ninth level of Qi training may even be discovered, and the identity of the mastermind is unknown. Even if he died, the sect behind him was not found out, which shows that this person deliberately concealed his identity, so the only one he can use is our Ming Dynasty. The forces of several hostile countries. Among these countries, only the poison poison in southern Xinjiang is the most subtle and difficult to prevent."
Su Qing said to them, and at the same time he was thinking to himself while telling himself, while the remaining people fell into deep thought.
In fact, when Su Qing heard about the death of his father Su Zhan in Xiongmo, he began to think about the truth. Everything was too abnormal and inconsistent with common sense. Since there is an abnormality, there must be a demon!
Although Su Qing is in another country as a hostage and what he knows is not that clear, it is normal for countries to place dishes on each other. Some people want Su Qing to die, which will cause a war between the two countries. Naturally, some people want Su Qing to live and use it as bait to lure out the people hiding in the dark. This mutual restraint gives Su Qing a huge power in the Hungarian desert. freedom of!
In this freedom, Su Qing was able to read all the books in Xiongmo, including some extremely detailed descriptions of southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang is located in a remote area surrounded by mountains and there are many poisonous insects. It is convenient for people in Southern Xinjiang to coexist with poisonous insects in the mountains. Poisonous insects can be said to be the second life of people in Southern Xinjiang! Everyone nourishes poison, everyone nourishes poison, and everyone lives with poisonous poison for life!
There are tens of thousands of poisonous insects, some big and small, and some plants are more poisonous than animals. Among these poisons, there is a very small mosquito beast, which looks like an ordinary mosquito in the Ming Dynasty. These mosquito beasts absorb He lives on the blood of poisons, and over time his body contains the blood of various poisons! This poisonous blood did not kill the mosquito beast, but kept surviving. The mosquito beast itself was like a natural place to nourish poison!
At first, people in southern Xinjiang did not realize that this mosquito beast was extremely poisonous. It was only once that a monk in the Qi training period was poisoned by this mosquito beast. They gradually discovered this mosquito beast. Some people in southern Xinjiang began to raise mosquito beasts, take their eggs and cultivate gu, and cultivated a poisonous mosquito that can kill people invisible! In the subsequent national wars, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, causing countless casualties to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and other countries. However, after the defeat, these mosquito beasts were killed one by one! However, due to its small size, no one knows whether it was completely exterminated.
Su Qing knew his father's strength and had a very good understanding of the general trend of the world. As the king of the Ming Dynasty, Su Zhan's son, who conquered countless kingdoms in the Ming Dynasty, how could he know nothing about this! Therefore, apart from this mosquito beast, Su Qing could not think of anything else that could affect the poison of high-level monks in the Qi refining stage.
After a while, the group finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
Suddenly a breeze blew up, blowing away the heat from everyone's bodies. Su Qing stood in front of the tomb for a long time without moving. He took a deep breath and seemed to feel a hint of Su Zhan's breath in the wind, as well as a sense of sadness all over the mountains and plains. Su Qing looked back at the tombstones and graves all over the mountains. , sighing secretly in his heart, too many people have died in the past few years of fighting. The city of Suzhou seems lively, but no one knows how many houses are empty, how many women stay alone in their old homes, and how many houses have been replaced. Generation after generation of masters... all this is not over yet... the current stability is only temporary. If one day a war is about to break out, how many people will leave Suzhou and how many people will be waiting bitterly. ...
Xu Yun and others were also silent, with heavy hearts. Everyone here was their brother in life and death, and their robe. Some even fought with them side by side, and some were willing to block swords and arrows for them... Every grave here is like a scar deeply imprinted on their hearts. Every time they come here, it is like tearing these scars apart deeply, facing them with blood flowing, and recalling the scenes that they cannot bear to look back on. scene...
Su Qing took a deep breath and without saying a word, he plunged a shovel into the earth bag and started digging. Since he already had an idea in his mind, what he had to do now was to verify whether the idea in his mind was correct.
The shovel clanked, and Su Qing started very quickly. The truth might be right in front of him, which made him a little anxious. Zhao Kui felt a knot in his heart. Although he had figured out some things after speaking out, he might not be as determined as Su Qing when doing them. After all, this is the general's tomb, the resting place of the souls of those he respected throughout his life! The Ming Dynasty emphasized that burial should be done in peace, which meant that the dead should be placed in their proper place and the living should be at peace. However, it is disrespectful to dig graves now! Even if there is a huge hatred of life and death in the world, few people would dig graves and open coffins.
"His...His Royal Highness, how about we..." Zhao Kui said cautiously, but before he could speak, Su Qing interrupted: "This is a family matter of our Su family! Although you all As my father's subordinates, this matter has nothing to do with you! Besides, today I am trying to find out the truth behind my father's death. If anyone stops me, I will regard him as the accomplice of the person who poisoned me!"
Su Qing looked back at everyone, her eyes were cold, bloodshot eyes appeared on the edges of her eyes, and she had a faint tendency to be demonic. Even Su He opened his mouth but did not say a word to the child he had raised.
Su Qing's expression changed quickly, and the expressions of Xu Yun and others also changed slightly and then returned to normal and stopped talking. They knew that what Su Qing said was just out of emotion. Everyone was silent for a while, and they didn't know who started it first. They stood in other parts of the tomb and dug up the soil with their hands.
Su He was old, and he was filled with grief when he saw this scene, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes. He is the person who has been with Su Qing the longest so far in this world, and he knows the pain in his heart.
He lost his mother when he was young and ignorant. He lacked maternal love since he was a child and his father Su Zhan was away from home all year round. Therefore, he was like an orphan when he was young. He was often naughty. Others didn't understand, but Su He understood. Lack of love, lack of care, even if he is Su Zhan's child, one of the best in the world, but he is just a child after all.
Later, when I grew up, I understood some things, knew my father's difficulties, and understood his father's actions. He has become more sensible and no longer makes trouble everywhere, no longer climbs over walls and windows to go out to eat and drink, but he still lacks a kind of care in his heart that his peers do not have. He worked hard to make himself better, to stop worrying about his father, and to become sensible, even if this sensibleness seemed a little heartbreaking to Su He...
In Su Qing's heart, her father is the sky above her head. Now the sky has collapsed, and she can't do anything when her father dies! As a proton, I exchanged for the stability of the Ming Dynasty border for nearly ten years, but I couldn't even see my father for the last time! I can't even kowtow at my father's death! This helplessness made the hatred in his heart even stronger!
It's just that he is used to hiding his emotions, used to not letting the people around him who care about him worry, used to not letting his enemies see his vulnerability... However, at this moment, he can no longer hold back the emotion in his heart. The outbreak! So when he got the shovel from Zhao Kui, he couldn't help but jumped out of the window and left! He's going to see his father! He wants to find the truth about his father! He wants to avenge his father!
Not long after, with the help of everyone, Su Zhan's grave was cleared, revealing an ordinary black coffin.
