The next day.

The sky is bright.

The early spring morning was still quite chilly. Su Xian got up early, washed up, had breakfast, packed away the silver needles, and then pushed out the door with Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei.

The fog is thick!

The entire world, including the eaves, courtyard gates, or bamboo groves inside and outside the courtyard, are all shrouded in white, looming like a fairyland.

Visibility is only one foot.

"What a heavy fog!"

Zhou Wei let out a sigh.

Su Xian cheered up, his breath turned into white mist, and ordered: "Let's go, do acupuncture for Mr. Yang earlier, so that we can go to Chu Palace earlier."

Rushed to Yang Gong's ward.

Accompanied by Yang Zong, Wang Qian and others, Su Xian gave Yang Gong the acupuncture.

Yang Ruoxian didn't come, so she must be a little bit reluctant to let go of what happened last night.

Soon after the acupuncture was over, Su Xian received the silver needles, chatted a few words with Yang Gong and others, then stood up and said goodbye. It was time to enter the palace.

Yang Zong personally sent someone to escort...

The journey was smooth, and in about a quarter of an hour, Su Xian, Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei arrived under the tower of the imperial city.

This city tower is tall and majestic, and it has a royal look.

However, compared with the imperial city of Daliang, it still lacks some vicissitudes of time, and it always feels a little less interesting. After all, Nanchu Nanchu is not Zhengshuo of the Central Plains.

When the Emperor of Chu learned that Su Xian was entering the palace today, he had already sent two eunuchs to wait at the gate of the palace. Su Xian briefly exchanged greetings with the eunuchs, then waved to Yang Zong and turned around to enter the imperial city.

Walking inside the imperial city, Su Xian couldn't help but look around, and gradually understood one thing in his heart -

No wonder the Emperor of Chu did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build a Mingtang. It turned out that the imperial city of Southern Chu was not even a little inferior to Daliang.

When I stood under the towering city gate just now, the difference was not very big.

Who would have thought that inside the imperial city, he would actually feel like "gold and jade are ruined on the outside".

Come to Hanlin Academy.

Su Xian briefly exchanged greetings with the officials of the Hanlin Academy and then went directly to the library.

This library was exaggerated. It was far larger than the library in the Yang Mansion. As soon as Su Xian stepped into it, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.

There are so many books, when will he find them?

…

Time passes quietly in the busyness.

Unknowingly, the time has come to dusk.

Su Xian, who found nothing, had no choice but to take Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei and return to the Yang Mansion before the city gate closed. At this time, it happened to be the time to perform acupuncture on Yang Gong.

After administering the acupuncture, Su Xian returned to the temporary residence. After washing, he lay on the couch. Before closing his eyes and falling asleep, he thought to himself:

"It seems that we still need to find a way. Finding a needle in a haystack is not the answer after all...that's all, let's go to bed first and wait until tomorrow."

The next day.

Su Xian still got up early, performed acupuncture on Yang Gong, and then went to the Chu Palace.

Arriving at the Hanlin Academy, the officials of the Hanlin Academy were already in place and busy with their own work. Su Xian smiled and said to everyone, "Good morning, everyone!"

Su Xian's idea was that by getting acquainted with the officials of the Hanlin Academy, he might be able to get the information he wanted from them.

However, today's Hanlin Academy officials seemed to have changed. Most of them ignored Su Xian. The few who responded only responded indifferently: "Yes."

Something is wrong!

Su Xian was immediately alerted.

It seems that this road will not work.

Su Xian frowned and had to go to the library first.

He walked to a set of bookshelves, took out a book and held it in his hand, but did not read it. Instead, while thinking about countermeasures, he ordered Zhou Wei:

"Junior Brother Lao, go and find out why their attitude is so cold today?"

"okay."

Zhou Wei left quickly and returned after a while, saying to Su Xian: "Brother, I have found out everything. It turns out that it was the princes and grandsons who were playing tricks the day before yesterday..."

Su Xian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's these guys again. After today's incident, I have to teach them a more profound lesson!"

"Then what should we do next?" Zhou Wei asked.

Su Xian put the book he was pretending to read back on the bookshelf, frowned and fell into deep thought, speechless for a long time.

What to do next? He doesn't have a good plan yet.

"By the way, senior brother, I encountered a strange thing just now."

Zhou Wei suddenly slapped his thigh with both hands and said to himself: "Although the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not friendly to us, there is also an outlier."

"What kind of alien?" Su Xian raised his eyebrows, and Yang Zhilan over there also looked sideways.

"There is a Hanlin bachelor who is about the same age as my senior brother. He does not hate his senior brother as much as others. Instead, he admires his poetic talent very much, especially the spear... Gun Jin Jiu!" Zhou Wei scratched his head.

Su Xian's heart was moved, and he had no time to correct Zhou Wei's mistakes, so he hurriedly asked: "Are you sure? That person may be the key to our breaking the situation. I would like to make another trip to invite that person to talk to him."

"no problem."

Zhou Wei readily agreed, turned around and left.

Soon, Zhou Wei returned and brought with him a young bachelor, dressed in official uniform, with the aura of books all over his body, and he was very elegant.

"Brother Su!" As soon as the man saw Su Xian, he approached with a smile and bowed respectfully: "It is indeed Brother Su. I was at the poetry meeting there the day before yesterday. I have been friends with Brother Su for a long time!"

"I have long heard that Brother Su has superb medical skills, but I didn't expect that Brother Su is also an excellent poet. I liked the song "About to Enter the Wine" the day before yesterday."

"To be honest with you, Brother Su, I can be considered a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, but I have never seen a poem that can compare with Brother Su's "Journey into the Wine". Brother Su is a great talent. Please give me my thanks."

"..."

Su Xian looked at this overly enthusiastic person and felt a little relieved. It seemed that the task of finding the autobiography of the founding emperor of Southern Chu would most likely fall on this person.

You must find a way to trick this person out of his words without even realizing it.

Su Xian thought for a while, but without any clue, he decided to take one step at a time and try to get in touch with this person first, maybe he would be able to get some inspiration.

However, when Su Xian raised his head and looked at the man, he couldn't help but stay where he was, with the muscles at the corners of his mouth spasming and twitching uncontrollably.

It turned out that this person had already set up his "formation", and was reading "The Wine Will Be Entering" with his head held high, an intoxicated look on his face, and exaggerated movements as if no one else was watching:

"I don't see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return..."

Su Xian had no choice but to interrupt him, so he had to watch him finish his "performance" before bowing and bowing: "This brother's recitation is very good, but I don't know that brother..."

The man was very familiar with him. He immediately put his arms around Su Xian and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything. The main thing is that Brother Su's poems are good. By the way, Brother Su, just ask whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."

Everything is endless.”

"I want to ask..." Su Xian hesitated slightly.

"Brother Su, you're welcome. I and Brother Su have a similar affinity. How about we treat each other as brothers?" The man was very happy and put his arms around Su Xian. In the eyes of others, they really looked like a pair of biological brothers.

Su Xian pursed his lips, looked sideways at the man, and said slowly: "What I want to ask is, this brother... what is his name?"

"Uh..." The enthusiasm on the man's face froze for a moment, and he was a little confused. He regarded Su Xian as a brother, but Su Xian didn't know who he was?

However, the embarrassment only existed for a short moment.

His smile remained unchanged and he replied cheerfully: "My surname is Wang Mingmo. Brother Su can just call me 'Brother Wang'. This can also reflect our closeness."

"It turns out to be Brother Wang, disrespectful."

"Brother Su, hahaha! You're welcome."

"..."

Wang Mo is a talkative person and knows a lot of secrets.

Su Xian chatted with him all morning and nodded secretly. This time he finally met the right person.

If Wang Mo didn't know the autobiography of the founding emperor of Southern Chu, then Su Xian wouldn't have any complaints even if his trip was in vain.

After lunch, Su Xian and Wang Mo returned to the library. They had a lively discussion on a wide range of topics, ranging from astronomy to geography, covering everything from ancient times to the present.

After another hour, Su Xian thought the time was ripe, so he pretended to be casual and asked:

"Brother Wang, I once heard someone say that the late emperor left behind a huge book. It is said to be the late emperor's autobiography. I wonder if there is such a book?"

"Brother Su, why do you suddenly ask this..."

Wang Mo looked surprised, a little reserved, and hesitated to speak.

When Su Xian saw this, his heart sank a little. Could this be a very sensitive topic?
