"Actually, no matter whether you say it or not, the result will be the same." Dakui muttered.
Sima Yan smiled and asked: "How do you say this?"
"Now I am riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. Even if there is no chance of death, Yunnan is still inevitable." Dakui said and refilled the tea cups for the two of them. Then he asked: "Since I am destined to die, why don't you please
Sima Louzhu once said, "Why can't I escape bad luck after returning to the capital?"
Sima Yan pondered for a moment before saying: "Any official of fourth rank or above is surrounded by the emperor's eyes and ears, and you are no exception. Your every move is under the surveillance of the imperial court. As long as you make a mistake, the emperor will kill you."
The best excuse. To you, you will be directly accused of your crimes, and to others, you will be used as an excuse for killing indiscriminately. This is your fate."
"No, the court will never treat me like this." Da Kui didn't believe it in every possible way, because he didn't want to believe it at all. But in an instant, Da Kui asked: "Why?" This question was stupid, and Da Kui knew the reason deep in his heart.
But I don't want to believe this result.
"Because you are not a direct descendant." Sima Yan looked at Dakui, her eyes full of coldness and without any mercy.
Dakui didn't say anything anymore, just stared at the lantern hanging on the wall in a daze.
Sima Yan said: "Now you still have a way to survive, but I don't know if you are willing to go?"
Da Kui said after a while: "Are you going to ask me to change my ways? Who should I defect to? The King of Liang or someone else?"
Sima Yan smiled and asked: "How do you know that I am planning to persuade you to defect to Prince Liang?"
Dakui also smiled and said: "You have spent all your time and energy, but you are just thinking this way. Otherwise, who else in the world can protect me?"
Sima Yan asserted: "Yes." Da Kui looked at Sima Yan after hearing this, his eyes full of surprise. Sima Yan continued: "The chief Ana of the Wu'ana tribe of the Deshi clan in Shunyuan City now occupies Shunyuan City.
Yuancheng, the commander-in-chief of Guizhou Province, has more than ten tribes, hundreds of villages, thousands of villages, 200,000 soldiers and horses. Brother Zhang is quite famous in Shunyuan, why not join him in these troubled times?"
Shunyuan City is the provincial capital of Guizhou Province. The local people call Shunyuan City 'Guizhou City'. The Yuan Dynasty once changed the name of Guizhou City to 'Shunyuan City', which means 'submit to the Yuan Dynasty'. This place is famous for its
Four post roads converged in Shunyuan City, and the strategic status of Shunyuan City was greatly improved. It became a must-pass for Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces. Therefore, Shunyuan City became a battleground for military strategists.
Emperor Taizu had a unique insight and had already deployed 20,000 troops in Shunyuan City. Unfortunately, he was in danger and had to abandon the city.
Back then, Dakui went to Shunyuan City, killed the corrupt official Liang Youcai, and opened a warehouse to distribute grain to the victims. Today, it has paid off. If he has trouble escaping to Shunyuan City, he will be safe for a while.
Before leaving this time, Master Feng had already given Da Kui a detailed explanation of the distribution of power in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. In Yunnan there were the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, Liang Wang Bazaci Walmi, and the Duan family, the descendants of Dali, and in Guizhou there was the Deshi of the Mo tribe.
The Wu'ana tribe, and the Heng tribe of the Yi people in Sichuan, the Jilejun Changshe tribe. The three forces do not interfere with each other, and they are inseparable from the Ming Dynasty. Except for Yunnan, the attitude of the other two places towards the Ming Dynasty is not clear, not to mention hostile.
Not attached either.
At this moment, Dakui was hesitant in his heart. How should he take the way down? Although it was difficult to decide for the moment, Dakui had not given a single thought to the idea of joining the Mobu Deshi clan's Wuana tribe.
Seeing that Da Kui was silent, Sima Yan couldn't help but ask: "What is Brother Zhang thinking? You might as well tell my little sister." Half an hour ago, Sima Yan was going to behead Sima Yan, but now Sima Yan changed her title and called Da Kui.
As Brother Zhang, his intentions are obvious.
Dakui looked at Sima Yan and said: "Since I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, I should try my best to carry out errands for the court. As for what Sima Louzhu said, I hope you will not mention it again in the future."
Sima Yan hit a soft nail and couldn't help but feel angry. She immediately said: "Okay, then you can go to Yunnan to receive your death with your gift." After saying this, Sima Yan stood up angrily and walked out of the door.
go.
Before Sima Yan could reach the door, Dakui had already asked: "Aren't you here to take my life?"
Sima Yan stopped in front of the door and said leisurely: "I, Sima Yan, am not a stickler for being loyal to others."
Dakui got up and walked to Sima Yan, opened the door and said: "You can stay here tonight and set off with the escort team tomorrow."
"Let's go together? To Yunnan?" Sima Yan was stunned when she heard Dakui's arrangement.
Dakui walked out of the door and walked down the stairs of the wooden building. As he walked, he said: "If you don't go to Yunnan, why don't you go to Yunbei?" Dakui walked downstairs and said to the two soldiers guarding downstairs: "Shou
Here, if a prisoner tries to escape, he will be killed without mercy."
The two soldiers immediately bowed to accept the order, and Dakui left immediately after giving his instructions.
The song and dance meeting was still going on, and Da Kui returned to the stands. As night fell, several bonfires were lit in the square early, and the villagers sang and danced around the bonfires, celebrating as if today was a grand festival.
Everyone in the stands sat around the table, drinking fragrant rice wine and eating various delicacies. In front of them was a joyful scene of singing and dancing. The Zhuang family's hospitality customs are truly unforgettable.
The Zhuang people are not allowed to eat any poultry and livestock meat. The Zhuang people like to hunt and cook game and insects. They have done a lot of research on the dietary therapy of Panax notoginseng. The use of Panax notoginseng flowers, leaves, roots and whiskers to make dishes is very distinctive. The Zhuang people are also good at roasting and frying.
, stew, pickle, brine and mature methods. They like alcohol, taste spicy and sour, and like to eat crispy and fragrant dishes. The Zhuang people also brew rice wine, sweet potato wine and cassava wine, the alcohol content is not too high, among which rice wine is used for celebrating festivals and entertaining guests.
main drink.
Da Kui was hurt by the wine yeast and was daunted by the rice wine prepared by the Zhuang family to entertain distinguished guests. However, he was open to all kinds of delicacies, including the five-color flower rice dish, which Da Kui liked very much.
Five-color flower rice is also called five-color glutinous rice. Five-color glutinous rice is a traditional delicacy of the Zhuang people. It can also be called 'flower glutinous rice'. It comes in five colors: red, yellow, black, white and purple. It symbolizes good luck and good luck.
, the harvest is plentiful. The five-color glutinous rice can only be made by the Zhuang people during major festivals. Today when Dakui and others came here, the Zhuang family treated them as guests, which shows their attachment to the imperial court. The five-color glutinous rice is bright in color.
, moist and soft, delicious and good for health. Not only the Zhuang people like five-color glutinous rice, but also the Dai, Lahu, Blang, Jinuo, Jingpo, Li, Yao and other ethnic groups like five-color glutinous rice.
, but only Zhuangjia’s five-color glutinous rice is unique.
Most of the dyes used in the five-color glutinous rice are edible flowers and plants. The ones dyed yellow are dried yellow flowers, the ones dyed black are fresh maple leaves, the ones dyed red and purple are fresh blue and red grasses of different varieties. The juice and
It is made by mixing glutinous rice and steaming it. This five-color glutinous rice is really the best among meals and is a must-have for every family.
At this time, Dakui and Wang Xiyuan explained that they represented the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty, so Dakui could not eat very well. After being an official for a long time, he knew some etiquette. Fortunately, with Wang Xiyuan by his side, it was not necessary to answer all the questions correctly.
Da Kui was worried.
Da Kui took a piece of five-color glutinous rice and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. Lu Bingyan, who was sitting next to Village Master Lu, heard it and asked, "How does Mr. Zhang think this five-color glutinous rice tastes?"
Dakui had food in his mouth, so naturally it was not convenient for him to answer. Hearing this, he forced himself to swallow the food in his mouth and then nodded and said: "It's soft and delicious, very delicious."
"Then adults should eat more." Lu Bingyan said with a smile.
Da Kui nodded, Lu Bingyan stopped talking to Da Kui and turned to look elsewhere. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Da Kui picked up another piece of fish, dipped it in the seasonings and put it in her mouth to chew. The fish was fresh and tender.
It's sweet and refreshing. But it's a rare delicacy.
(ps: Raw fish is called sashimi in modern times. Sashimi has been in China as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it was not an invention of the Japanese. Sashimi is very particular. In winter, you need to catch the fish first and then the ingredients.
, so that the fish can absorb the aroma of the ingredients. First put the raw fish into a large plate, add raw oil and fish it together. The raw oil has a sterilizing effect. Add pepper and salt to mix well. Then add radish soaked in white vinegar, sugar, and add
Heat oil, put appropriate amounts of various ingredients in, scoop them out evenly, and finally sprinkle crispy ingredients such as shredded taro, peanuts, and twists. In summer, the procedure is the opposite. Due to the hot weather, you need to scoop out the ingredients first and then the fish, so that the fish meat is
It can keep the deliciousness. You can pick up all the ingredients with just one chopstick.)
Before Dakui finished the bite of fish, Lu Bingyan asked again: "Master Zhang, this fish should be eaten with seasonings on it."
Dakui had fish in his mouth, so naturally it was difficult for him to speak. When he saw Lu Bingyan asking him, he couldn't ignore her. But Dakui had no choice but to swallow the fish in his mouth again, and then he said with a smile: "Miss Lu is right.
"
As soon as Da Kui finished speaking, Lu Bingyan smiled politely at Da Kui and then turned her head elsewhere.
In the beginning, human beings are naturally good-natured. Why can’t I stop eating food? Miss Lu, what are you going to do?
Although Da Kui was a little annoyed in his heart, he already had a smile on his face. Fearing that others would disturb him or that Lu Bingyan would interrupt his meal, Da Kui deliberately waited for a cup of tea. Strangely enough, Master Lu
He actually had a great conversation with Wang Xiyuan, and the other leaders in Zhuang Village also had a lively chat with Meng Ge and Pan Bu. Everyone chatted while eating, but nothing happened to Dakui.
Lu Bingyan, in particular, was listening intently to Meng Ge talking about the beautiful scenery and local customs of Suzhou and Hangzhou. This was truly a God-given opportunity, and it would be better if she didn't eat it now.
Da Kui has not had a good meal in the past few days. Firstly, he was worried about his trip to Yunnan, and secondly, he was secretly tricked by Lu Binglan into drinking Jiuqu. At least tonight, he had a craving for food. Looking at the delicacies on the table,
Dakui couldn't help but move his fingers. Since everyone was busy, Dakui simply didn't stop doing anything and quietly reached out and grabbed a whole white chicken on the table.
Looking around, no one was paying attention. Dakui couldn't help but feel extremely happy. He held the white chicken in his hands and bit into the breast of the chicken.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang..." Suddenly Lu Binglan screamed, the tone of which Gao Dakui had never heard before. Not only did Lu Binglan scream, she also pointed her jade finger at Dakui.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Dakui. They saw Dakui holding a white chicken soup dripping with water in his hands, and a piece of torn chicken hanging from the corner of his mouth. There is no trace of a royal official in this look.
Majesty?
Only then did Dakui realize that Lu Binglan had been plotting against him. This girl just wanted to make herself look bad. What was her intention?
