442. She is dead(1/2)
The sun rises and the air is humid and stuffy.
Chu Ming, who was trampled by Su Mo, felt cold all over and cold sweat on his forehead.
It was obvious... Yesterday was obviously... Chu Ming's mind was messy. When he thought about what happened yesterday, he realized that there were many strange things.
At this moment, Chu Ming finally realized that the "Chu Lian" and "Yan Su" who asked him to summon all the Chu family's masters to the Jiuxiao Tower yesterday were already fake at that time! Thinking of the wine he drank in the Jiuxiao Tower later, Chu Ming's heart sank! There was definitely something wrong with the wine!
But where did the real Chu Lian and Su Yan go? Was they killed by Su Mo and Rong Yuanqiu? It is impossible, absolutely impossible...
"Chu Ming, my patience is limited. Ask again, where did Chu Yuning and Yin Jiang go?" Su Mo's feet suddenly exerted force.
Chu Ming groaned, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his face was squeezed even more distorted, and he was difficult to speak, "I don't know... I don't know... I swear..."
Yuan Qiu's cold voice came from behind Su Mo, "Amo, don't talk nonsense to him. This man is not worthy of using puppet medicine, but there are three real medicines left. He is Chu Lian and Su Yan's confidant, so he may know something without further ado."
"Okay." Su Mo nodded gently when he heard this and closed his feet.
Chu Ming relaxed his body and lay on the ground and coughed heavily. The next moment, Su Mo was pulled from the ground with his back collar. Before he could react, he had a pill stuffed into his mouth.
When Yuan Qiu got the medicinal materials treasured by the ghost Taoist, he only made three puppet medicines. He had used two of them on Chu Liang and Chu Ping, and now only one in Su Mo's hands.
At that time, Yuan Qiu made three real medicines. Although he could not control a person's mind for a long time, he could tell the truth in his subconscious within a certain period of time and use it to deal with Chu Ming's poor strength, but he knew a lot of things that were most suitable.
After swallowing the true spitting medicine, Chu Ming briefly fell into a coma, opened his eyes again, got up from the ground, and knelt in front of Su Mo and Yuanqiu.
Su Mo and Yuan Qiu sat at the stone table in the yard. The maid who came to serve him early in the morning stood not far away with a pale face, not daring to say anything or leave.
"Do you know where Chu Yuning and Yin Jiang took Chuxiong and others?" Su Mo asked this question again.
Chu Ming shook his head dumbfoundedly, "I don't know."
This answer was actually expected by Su Mo and Yuan Qiu. With Su Yan's cautious personality, the fewer people in the knowledge, the better.
However, the reason for using the true vomiting medicine on Chu Ming was that Yuan Qiu felt that although he was not trusted as Chu Lian and Su Yan's confidant, he must have known something that others, even Chu Liang did not know because he was close to them and had a lot of contact with them.
Although Chu Ming didn't know what to say, Su Mo did not immediately give up investigating this matter.
"Are there other islands around Feixian Island that Su Yan has been to before?" Su Mo asked.
It was only six days ago that Su Yan asked her daughter and Yin Jiang to transfer the hostages.
Su Yanding could not send the hostages to Nanzhao Kingdom. It is possible to encounter Su Mo and Yuan Qiu on the way, not to mention that Nanzhao Kingdom is Su Mo's territory, and it is too far from Feixian Island, which makes Su Yan difficult to control.
Therefore, Chu Yuning and Yin Jiang and those people must have gone to another island on the sea. It is not impossible to have other lands to the south, and even countries that Su Mo and Yuanqiu don’t know, but Chu Jun and Chu Liang both said that Chuxiong had sent people to sail for a long time. After three months of sailing, he did not see a large area of land, only scattered islands.
Su Yan couldn't let her daughter take the hostages to a place three months away from the voyage. The farthest, perhaps only ten days and a half months, and it would be inconvenient to contact us any further. If you want to use those hostages, it would be a problem for Su Yan.
Then, investigating the islands around Feixian Island first, and expanding the scope if you can't find one is a way.
Lu Zhe had asked Chu Liang and Chu Ping to explain the islands around Feixian Island they knew. The most recent one would take three days to sail, and there were two uninhabited islands that could be reached in five or six days. There were seven or eight islands that were shipped in half a month, most of which were uninhabited and barren desert islands.
Chu Liang said that two of the islands were fertile. Many people on Feixian Island moved here, specifically responsible for planting and supplying the grain produced to the people on Feixian Island. Of course, it is not enough. The main grain on Feixian Island was bought from the Nanzhao Kingdom, and there were special people responsible for this matter.
Based on the explanation of Chu Liang and Chu Ping, Lu Zhe drew a simple map, which marked the approximate location and distance of the islands around Feixian Island, especially the two islands that are farmlands on Feixian Island. It takes about ten days to sail for Feixian Island. There are ready-made houses on it, which can be self-sufficient. Lu Zhe believes that Su Yan is more likely to transfer the hostages to the two islands.
But Su Mo and Yuan Qiu think it may not be that simple. In fact, they don’t have ten days to go over and verify, let alone Su Yan running in front of them.
Su defaulted that with Su Yan's personality, she should have been to the place where the hostages were hidden, and she had some understanding.
Lu Zhe asked Chu Jun about this, but Chu Jun said he didn't know. Since two years ago, Su Yan has become more and more strict in discipline of Chu Jun. He has been in seclusion and practicing diligently for a long time.
Therefore, Su Mo asked Chu Ming, which island, Su Yan, had been there?
"Madam... I went out to collect herbs last year and asked Yin Jiang to accompany me..." Chu Ming said slowly.
Yuan Qiu looked so honest. I was collecting herbs? Su Yan really "liked" Yin Jiang, an obedient slave.
"What do you know?" Su Mo asked again.
"I don't know which island they went to..." Chu Ming whispered, "But after they came back, I overheard Yin Jiang mention Feiyun Island... He caught a white rabbit for Chu Yuning, saying that he caught it on Feiyun Island..."
Feiyun Island, Su Mo heard Lu Zhe say that on the west side of Feixian Island, it took about five days to sail. Chu Liang and Chu Ping both knew that place, saying that the land there was barren, rocks were everywhere, and it was impossible to cultivate.
In general, there is not a high possibility that there are good medicinal herbs in such places, but Su Yan took Yin Jiang to the island and seemed to have stayed on the island. Yin Jiang still has time to catch a pet for his sweetheart and bring it back.
"Where is that rabbit?" Yuan Qiu asked.
"Chu Yuning gave it to Chu Xiaoxiao, but later it was lost." Chu Ming said.
When Yuan Qiu heard this, he remembered Chu Jun's explanation that he had secretly captured Chu Xiaoxiao's rabbit because Chu Xiaoxiao refused his pursuit and roasted it for eating...
"Do you know what the relationship between Chu Chu and Yan Su?" Yuan Qiu asked.
Even Chu Liang accidentally discovered that Su Yan was interested in Chu Chu, but he did not tell Chu Lian. Yuan Qiu felt that Chu Ming might know something. Feixian Island was so big that some things could not be hidden.
"The two of them, carrying Chu Lian on their backs, have a relationship with each other." Chu Ming whispered.
Yuan Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did you know?"
"I once saw with my own eyes that Yan Su came out of the North Courtyard in the middle of the night." Chu Ming said.
The North Courtyard is the residence of Chu and Chu Xiaoxiao, and Su Yan can't go to see Chu Xiaoxiao in the middle of the night. Chu Chu doesn't care about anything, and there is no possibility that Su Yan has to discuss with him any serious matters.
Then, anyone who sees Su Yan sneaking in and out of Chu Chu's residence will be full of thoughts...
"Are you sure that Chu Chu was inside at that time?" Yuan Qiu asked.
"Yes." Chu Ming gave a positive answer.
The more Yuan Qiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Su Yan had an affair with Chu Chu, and Yuan Qiu did not believe it. What Chu Ming saw did not prove what the two people did, but only proved that Su Yan was not ordinary to Chu Chu Chu. Chu Liang also said that Su Yan was interested in Chu Chu Chu.
But the problem is that Su Yan has married into the Chu family for twenty years, and Chu Chu and her have always been under the same roof. Su Yan always likes Chu Chu? Then with her strength and personality, why have you been a couple with Chu Lian for so many years? She even gave birth to a pair of children!
Yuan Qiu felt that if Su Yan liked Chu Chu for many years and could not love her, it would be unreasonable. If that were the case, Su Yan wanted to get Chu Chu Chu, either he would not marry Chu Lian back then, and even if he got married, the first thing was to kill Chu Lian first, turn himself into a widow, and restore his freedom, otherwise how could Chu Chu accept her?
Yuan Qiu was wondering, could Su Yan live with Chu Lian, live a relationship with Chu Chu? This can explain why we have been peaceful for so many years, and Su Yan has only started to be restless in the past two or three years.
But that's still the problem. As long as Su Yan wants to get Chu Chu Chu Chu, she should abandon Chu Lian's wife's identity, but she didn't do that.
At this moment, Yuan Qiu suddenly thought that Su Yan had hinted that she seemed to be a time traveler in another world...
If she was really like Yuan Qiu, resurrecting herself with a corpse, then when did she come to this world?
As soon as this question popped up in Yuan Qiu's mind, she was shocked and she felt that she had grasped the key to the matter at once!
They always feel that Su Yan is unpredictable. The peace of mind over the years and the restlessness over the past two or three years are extremely contradictory.
There must be a reason in this, but when Yuan Qiu thought of his experience, he suddenly had a bold guess...
"When did you find something between Yan Su and Chu Chu?" Yuan Qiu asked Chu Ming.
"The year before yesterday, about this time," Chu Ming replied.
"Before that, what do you think of the relationship between Chu Lian and Yan Su?" Yuan Qiu asked.
Chu Ming said two words, "Excellent."
"When did you know that Yan Su was hidden?" Yuan Qiu asked again.
"It was also the year before." Chu Ming said, "Before that, she was not conspicuous in the Chu family, had no conflicts with Chu Xiong, and did not go privately with Chu Chu."
Yuan Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Did there be anything special happening to Yan Su two years ago? Such as poisoning, injury, etc."
Chu Ming shook his head, "No. But there was something that almost cost Yan Su's life that year."
Yuan Qiu's heart moved, "What's the matter?"
"She was pregnant that year, she was old and had difficulty giving birth when she was born, and she almost died of one corpse and two lives. In the end, the child was gone, and everyone thought Yan Su had died, but who knew she would be alive again." Chu Ming said.
At this moment, Yuan Qiu had basically confirmed his guess: Su Yan was suspected to be a time traveler, and it was very likely that he came to this world when he died of dying from birth two years ago!
Although Yuan Qiu and the others believed that Su Yan, the apprentice of the Ghost Taoist, was very powerful in martial arts and poison skills, and should not be attracted to a man of average strength like Chu Lian, this view is actually a bit one-sided.
It is difficult to talk about love. The ghost Taoist once emphasized one thing: his apprentice Su Yan is a heavy face control and likes men who are good-looking. Chu Lian is not very capable, but in terms of appearance, he and his twin brother Chu Ling were all beautiful men like Su Mo when they were young.
If Su Yan fell in love with Chu Lian's appearance and chose to be a couple with him, it is not impossible.
When Su Yan's soul changed to another person, his thoughts changed. He looked down on Chu Lian, who was just beautiful, and turned to Chu Chu Chu, who was stronger and more charming...
"Qiu'er?" Su Mo called back Yuan Qiu who was in deep thought.
Yuan Qiu was suddenly shocked when he saw the exploration in Su Mo's eyes! Did Su Mo notice something?
After thinking, Yuan Qiu sighed slightly, what was she afraid of? Because she hadn't confessed her biggest secret to Su? She always felt that there was no need and had no chance to say it, but now, if you don't talk about it, Yuan Qiu's guess about Su Yan is simply unable to explain to Su Mo.
Besides, I was not deliberately concealing it, and Yuan Qiu made a decision in just a moment.
Chu Ming's true medicine was effective, and he fell into a coma again. Yuan Qiu pulled Su Mo to get up, "I have something to tell you."
Walking to the door, Su Mo stopped, "Qiu'er, there are some things you don't want to say, it doesn't matter."
Under Yuan Qiu's guidance, Chu Ming told Su Yan's strange changes in character and behavior, which reminded Su Mo that Linjia Village was seriously injured and pushed off the cliff, miraculously survived, and then his temperament changed drastically, as if he had changed to another person...
By chance, Su Mo personally caught Yuan Qiu who fell from the cliff. Later, when he saw Yuan Qiu again, the more he understood, the more he became more confused: How could she be like that?
At first, Su Mosheng had no desire to explore Yuan Qiu's secrets.
Later, day after day, the love was deeply rooted, and Su Mo was actually waiting for Yuan Qiu to tell him that he wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that Yuan Qiu would not want to say it, which would instead cause a crack in their relationship.
Su Mo also had some bold speculations about Yuan Qiu’s secret. He believed that people were real, but his heart might have changed.
Su Mo didn't want to force Yuan Qiu to do anything she didn't want, because even if there was a secret, he absolutely believed that their relationship was true.
To be continued...
