Chapter 265 The Grassland Was Burnt
County Lord Rouyao said fiercely: "I'll also put my words first. If you dare to play around, with your cousin on this side and Su Qing on the other side, I won't let you go."
Zian looked at her, a little confused, what did she mean by that? She actually let her be with Murong Jie properly? Doesn't she like Murong Jie?
"Speak clearly." Zi'an said.
The Lord Rouyao looked sullen, "Isn't that clear enough? I know the tricks of a noble daughter like you. She is charming and scheming. Su Qing is simple-minded and easy to be deceived by you, but I am not, I am I have seen through your tricks a long time ago, if you want to deceive Su Qing, you have to pass me."
Zian understood now, "Don't you like your cousin?"
County Lord Rouyao was taken aback, "Who told you that I like my cousin?"
"Su Qing!"
"Bah, that was in the past. I liked my cousin before, but back then, I changed my mind when I knew his temperament." County Lord Rouyao said.
"What's wrong with his temper? Isn't it good?" Zian couldn't help but defend his sweetheart.
"Very good? You said he has a good temper?" County Lord Rouyao seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
"It's pretty good, wise, wise, and as careful as dust..."
"Stop it first," county magistrate Rouyao stretched out her hand to block it, "I have to ask clearly, the cousin we've been talking about is the regent Murong Jie, right?"
"It's him!"
County Lord Rouyao was confused, "But what you are talking about is not him who is wise, wise, and careful. He is domineering, cruel, brutal, venomous, and always has a straight face. Are you sure you are talking about Murong Jie?"
Zian chuckled, "It's only occasionally, but most of the time it's still good."
County Lord Rouyao glanced at her, "You like him very much? Then what did you say just now that he proposed marriage many times and threatened you, is it all fake?"
Zian slumped his shoulders, looking a little dejected, "Fake, I thought you liked him, so I purposely said it to scare you."
The head of Rouyao County burst out laughing, the hostility vanished, "I like him, he's looking for abuse."
"No," Zi'an was not so easily dismissed, "Su Qing said that when I mentioned Murong Jie's fiancée, you started to be hostile to me."
"That's because I saw Su Qing supporting you, and you drank a pot of wine with him just now..." Lord Rouyao said without any shame, "I like Su Qing."
Zi An said, "Does Su Qing know?"
"Do you think this stupid goose knows? I hinted a few times, but he just doesn't understand, maybe he understands, but he doesn't like me, think I've been married and disgusted?" County Lord Rouyao said, But not the slightest bit sad.
"Why don't you confess your love directly?" Zi'an asked.
Lord Rouyao shook her head, "Isn't that good? If he doesn't like me, I won't be able to face him in the future."
Zian knew that this dynasty was still relatively conservative, and women confessed to men, not without exception, but relatively few.
It's not uncommon for people like Xia Wan'er to be ashamed, but that shouldn't count as a confession, right? It can only be regarded as a stalker.
But knowing that Rou'er was not his threat, Zi'an felt a big rock in his heart. He has been worrying about Rou'er all this time, and life is not easy.
As for the matter between her and Su Qing, it was their business, she couldn't control it, as long as it didn't threaten her.
"I've been away from the capital for more than half a year, and I don't know his current situation. Does he have someone in mind now?" County Lord Rouyao pulled her and asked.
"Probably not? But Chen Liuliu said that Su Qing is willing to marry her."
The Lord Rouyao frowned, "Chen Liuliu? Granddaughter of Taijun Chen? This person is not easy to deal with."
"It's her, but she actually has something to belong to. She likes Xiao Tuo."
"Isn't that simple? Let Xiao Tuo marry her!" County Lord Rouyao said immediately.
"She dreams of it, but Xiao Tuo has no interest in her."
"I've been knocked out and thrown on the bed, Xiao Tuo, that stupid ass, will have to bend over hard." County Lord Rouyao said immediately.
Zian looked at her in surprise, feeling that Chen Liuliu and County Lord Rouyao were from modern times.
Xiao Tuo, who was far away in the General's Mansion, had already fallen asleep, but he sneezed several times in a row in his dream, and after waking up, he was a little dazed, and then continued to sleep with the quilt rolled up.
Because the crisis with Lord Rouyao was resolved, Zi'an was so happy that he didn't sleep that night, holding wormwood in one hand to repel mosquitoes, and holding a wine pot in the other, he sat and chatted with Lord Rouyao.
Chatted all night.
Inside the prime minister's mansion.
"Old Madam, the Concubine Gui ordered someone to tell that Xia Zian, Murong Jie and Ni Rong were looking for something in the grass outside the city, and brought back a lot of herbs," Cuiyu reported.
"Grass? Are you looking for herbs?" The old lady's eyes flashed. Although Xia Zian entered the epidemic area this time because of the threat of a military order, she always felt that things went too smoothly. With her temperament, would she make a fuss first? ?
"It should be." Cuiyu said back.
The old lady thought for a while, "You order people to burn all the grass they found."
Cuiyu asked: "Is the old lady afraid that she will really find a cure for the zombie disease?"
The old lady said: "I have to assume this way. After thinking about it all night, I feel that Xia Zian went in too smoothly this time. She even went in without making a fuss. Moreover, the people from the imperial concubine once reported that Chen From the small courtyard, the smell of zombie disease is suspected, and the old man suspects that there are zombie patients hidden in the small courtyard of the Chen family, and Xia Zian lived there for five days, and he may be developing prescriptions."
"But the grassland outside the city should not have any herbs, they are all common grasses."
The old lady pressed her hand, "We can't take risks. We must do everything we can to prevent Xia Zian from finding a cure for the epidemic. Otherwise, she will make great contributions this time, and it will be almost impossible to kill her in the future."
Cuiyu nodded, "Very well, this servant will order someone to go."
The next day, Zian left the epidemic area and went to the grassland to search again, only to find that the grassland had turned into scorched earth.
It was Su Qing who accompanied her there. Seeing this, Su Qing said angrily: "Someone has done it. It seems that the people behind this can't stand it anymore. I'm afraid you will really find a cure for the zombie disease."
Zian was not angry. He knelt down and picked up the ashes, picked up some soil, kneaded it carefully, and then kept looking forward.
"What are you looking for? There is no grass growing here." Su Qing said.
Zian didn't say a word, and kept pushing aside the ashes along the road to look for it. After a long time, he stood up and asked Su Qing, "Do you still remember the first time Ni Rong was bitten? When he returned, was there dirt on the wound?"
Su Qing thought for a while, "I don't remember."
Zian grabbed a handful of dirt and put it in a bottle, saying, "Let's go back to the small courtyard of the Chen family. I have something to ask Ni Rong."
