"They may not tell Chief Zhu Shan those things." Sikong Ji said.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Ming Ruoxie recalled Zhu Minmin's expression when he came out to see her off today, and it didn't look like he had heard anything special.
¡° If Xie Wenzhong and the others really said something special, Zhu Minmin would actually be unable to hold back and tell her.
"Xie Wenzhong and the other two are preparing to host a banquet tomorrow. The one named Song Shiqi invited me today and asked us to go together tomorrow."
Ming Ruoxie looked at Sikongji, blinked and asked him if he was going.
Sikong Ji shook his head, "I won't go."
"Xie Wenzhong and the others probably won't be able to hold the banquet tomorrow. What kind of banquet will be held during the funeral of the Queen Mother?" Today, Zhu Shanchang may have just returned from Qingsong Academy and he still doesn't know what the situation is in the city, and he was too excited to reunite with the three proud students after a long absence. He may have realized it after calming down tonight.
Things turned out to be just as Sikong Ji thought.
The next day Zhu Minmin came to the door and told Ming Ruoxie that Xie Wenzhong and the others decided to hold a banquet after the funeral of the Queen Mother. Although Ming Ruoxie hadn't agreed whether they would go to the banquet yesterday, Song Shiqi had already invited her, so they had to come and tell her.
However, they have not yet had any contact with Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion, so they can only ask Zhu Minmin to go there.
"They told Chief Zhu Shan yesterday what happened that year?" Ming Ruoxie checked Zhu Minmin's pulse again and asked after reassuring her.
"I told you, they had an adventure after entering the water," Zhu Minmin was still amazed when she talked about their story. "They encountered a whirlpool in the sea, and then were swept to an unknown place, where they got some medicinal materials. And it is a very special medicinal material. The three senior brothers are all very talented. They did not give up on finding a way to come back to the uninhabited island over there. They spent six years building a wooden boat and then took the boat out to sea. "
Is this a story of three families drifting together?
Ming Ruoxie was a little stunned when he heard this.
"Maybe it was their luck that they arrived at Su Gang after drifting at sea for half a year." Zhu Minmin was a little puzzled when she saw Ming Ruoxie, "Has Ming Ting heard of Su Gang?"
Ming Ruoxie has never heard of it.
At this time, Sikong Ji came over, followed by Xiao Jin who walked slowly.
"Sugang is a wonderful place between Xiatu and Dazhao. It is close to the sea. There are mostly fishermen there. Half of it belongs to Xiatu and half to Dazhao."
"Dazhao?"
Ming Ruoxie was stunned for a moment, she had never heard of Da Zhao. Where is this Dazhao place?
"Don't you know Dazhao? It is a country by the sea. The territory is not vast, and the people there are very few and very poor. Most of them are fishermen. There is also a sea area between Xiatu and Xiatu, so it is almost I have no dealings with this place." Sikong Ji patted her head gently, "Go back to my study and I will show you the territory map."
Ming Ruoxie understood it clearly. It was probably a small country by the sea, an island.
Nowadays, sea navigation is not a simple matter, so it is not easy to navigate the world here, so there is no contact.
"Then why is there Su Gang?"
"Sugang is a small island, and the road to Xiatu is often cut off, because the middle road has to wait for the water to recede at a certain period, and then that road will be exposed out of the water, and there will be traffic on both sides."
Ming Ruoxie opened her eyes wide in surprise, is there such a place? "Then when does the water recede?"
"That sea area is very strange. It usually retreats every three years and retreats for half a month."
During that half month, people on both sides will seize the time to communicate and enter into transactions. After half a month, the sea water will come up again, almost cutting off the road again.
Except for some wealthy families with big boats who can occasionally travel there, ordinary people have no way to travel there.
"So, Xie Wenzhong and the others just went to Sugang, so they couldn't come back in time?" Ming Ruoxie reacted.
Zhu Minmin nodded.
"The three senior brothers said that they didn't understand it when they first went there. They figured it out after staying there for half a year, but they also missed the opportunity of low tide. The boats they built were already broken by that time, and there was no way to rebuild them. They couldn¡¯t use it, so they had no choice but to live in Su Gang.¡±
"This is quite an adventure."
Xie Wenzhong and his family were lucky enough to have this unexpected encounter.
"And they planted all the medicinal materials in Su Gang and opened a medicinal garden there. Later they came to Xiatu and relied on medicinal herbs.He became a well-known medicinal herb dealer there and gradually built up his fortune. The third sister-in-law was also married there. "
Zhu Minmin recounted the experiences of Xie Wenzhong and the others.
Ming Ruoxie and Sikongji exchanged a look, and both of them felt that the matter should not be that simple. If the person behind the scenes just wanted their medicinal materials, couldn't they just pay for them or rob them? Why would he send a killer with such strong martial arts skills?
¡°And Xie Wenzhong and the others don¡¯t seem to know why those killers came.
"Then they can finally return to their homeland this time. Will they give up the medicine garden they stayed in Su Gang? Will they still want to do the medicine business after they come back?" Ming Ruoxie asked Zhu Minmin again.
"They haven't said this yet, but what I heard from the senior brother is that if the third senior brother is in charge of the medicinal materials business by himself, he and the second senior brother will no longer handle it."
"Both Xie Wenzhong and Zhang Shuhe are talented in governing the country," Sikong Ji said.
Zhu Minmin's eyes lit up, "I think that the first and second senior brothers still want to join the court as officials."
I see.
¡° Then they originally wanted to hold a banquet, so maybe they wanted to take this route.
Nowadays, the capital is heavily guarded, but it is much calmer, and no one sneaks in. Sikong Ji and Ming Ruoxie knew that this was not because the Queen Mother was mourning, but because the Emperor was secretly searching for people who lived in Qingmei Villa.
But because of this incident, they can still live a peaceful and stable New Year.
The injuries on Concubine Fang¡¯s face are getting better, probably because the Queen has been relegated to the cold palace, and the Emperor¡¯s thoughts are not in the harem. Concubine Fang is still in charge of the middle court and taking care of the funeral of the Queen Mother.
After the New Year, the Queen Mother was buried in the imperial mausoleum. After the funeral, the city was lifted from the ban and finally started to liven up again.
Just when the Lantern Festival was about to arrive, and pedestrians on the street were busy discussing how to enjoy the lanterns, a dusty escort entered the capital.
Linyu, who was sitting in one of the carriages, secretly opened the curtains and looked at the scene outside with a somewhat disappointed expression.
The capital city of Dazhen is not as prosperous and wealthy as the Lan Kingdom.
But she soon became happy again, because she had gone through many dangers and arrived in Dazhen Capital safely!
"Brother Ji, Linyu is coming to see you, will you be surprised?"
Princess Linyu looked excited. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
