Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1875: The Emperor of Han summoned Qin Hui in another world

Seeing Su Yan's appearance, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but shook her head. She cleaned up the room for him and took the dirty clothes out.

At the last moment, the woman turned her head and looked at Su Yan, as if a little embarrassed, and said, "Sir, if you have time, can you teach my children to read and write? My family is poor, and I will make it up to you after the teacher's gift, but after that, my family will provide you with three meals a day."

Among the common people, there were actually very few who achieved class transition through reading and understanding the path to the imperial examination. However, these few people became the benchmark for countless ordinary people.

This is why many ordinary people want to learn to read and write.

However, reading and writing requires money, which not every common people can afford.

Su Yan was slightly stunned, noticing the expectation in the woman's eyes. He then smiled at her kindly and said, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning! I am just a loner, and I am grateful for your shelter. There is no need to discuss the teacher's gift."

Hearing this, the woman immediately smiled and said happily, "In fact, I have seen you for a long time, sir, you must be a good person!"

He didn't know why, but being given a "good guy card" by this mere woman made him feel inexplicably touched.

The woman closed the door gently. Su Yan lowered his head and sniffed himself gently. He smelled the sour stench but did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort.

He looked at the bowl of food on the table again. At this time, it was still steaming. No wonder it had soaked his manuscript paper. He picked up the bowl and put the food into his mouth, wolfing it down...

However, the layout of the folk courtyard is very simple and the area is not large, but it is very clean and tidy. The ground is not very flat, and there is a jujube tree planted in the corner. There is also a deep well covered by a well cover next to the wall. Under the eaves, there is a row of bundles of firewood leaning against the earth wall.

A few free-range chickens were pecking at each other in the yard. Amid the clucking sounds and the faint smell of chicken shit, Su Yan was teaching the two children.

In the past half month, although Su Yan still had to set up a stall in the city from time to time, his life had become much better. At least his stomach was somewhat secure.

Once upon a time, these problems that he originally didn't care about at all have now become his greatest satisfaction.

If possible, he would even be willing to live like this for the rest of his life, at least he wouldn't have to suffer from hunger anymore.

The owner's surname was also Su. Although the couple had some ordinary petty calculations, they were actually kind-hearted. Last year, Su Yan owed two months' rent, but they didn't kick him out.

Old Man Su is over 40 years old this year. He makes money by slaughtering animals for others in a butcher's shop. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day. It is very hard. With this job, he can sometimes get some meat for his family.

Although it was hard work, it was considered a high standard of living among ordinary people. Few ordinary people could eat meat occasionally.

The family actually moved here from Hedong Road. The eldest son was originally a member of the Da Cang Imperial Guard, holding the rank of sergeant. He died in the campaign against the three kings.

With the death of the eldest son, the family's strongest pillar was broken, which was like a bolt from the blue for the remaining family members, young and old.

In the first two years, the whole family was plunged into darkness.

There are two children left in Old Man Su's family, a son and a daughter. The son is only twelve years old and the daughter is not even eight years old, but they have both started to help with housework.

Su Yan had been an official in Da Cang for many years, but he had not taught for a long time. Now, he picked up his craft again and started to teach enlightenment. He enjoyed it and began to forget his troubles little by little.

Su's mother handmade two simple sand trays to use as paper, and bent some thorns to make pens. It was simple yet durable, and this was a method that Su Yan had never thought of.

"The sky and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and desolate"

What Su Yan taught was the Thousand Character Classic. During this period of time, he had already taught more than a hundred characters.

Thousand Character Classic is also the most common enlightenment reading material in the Apocalypse Continent.

"Let's stop here for today!" After listening to the two little guys reciting a passage, Su Yan nodded with satisfaction. It was a sign of a poor family loving to study.

These two little guys are very smart, and sometimes they even remind him of his teenage self.

"Thank you, sir!" Upon seeing this, the two children bowed politely, like two little adults.

The sky gradually darkened, Su Yan returned to the room, but noticed at the door that the brother and sister were carefully putting away the "paper and pen". Then they helped, chopping wood, fetching water, and starting a fire.
The sound of "bang bang bang" knocking on the door disturbed the tranquility of the courtyard. Smoke was already rising from the kitchen and the aroma of rice was wafting out.

Hearing the unusual noise, Su Yan walked out and looked at the two men who almost broke in. They were wearing black clothes and black sleeves, with spider patterns embroidered on their arms, and standard long swords on their waists, with sharp and cold eyes.

The boy who opened the door was obviously frightened by the two. However, the two did not hesitate. They scanned the scene in the courtyard and directly looked at Su Yan, who was dressed simply and neatly: "Are you Su Yan?"

"That's right! I wonder where the two officials are from?" Su Yan couldn't help but ask.

The two men were wearing uniforms, and they were clearly from the government. I didn't know which department they were from. But looking at their attire, they were clearly not clerks from the Yecheng government office.

In fact, judging from the way he is dressed, I'm afraid he is not a staff member of any open and aboveboard organization.

The two men were obviously not responsible for answering Su Yan's doubts. They just glanced at Su Yan and saw that he looked poor and shabby, and then they said directly: "Yes! Come with us!"

"May I ask what's the matter?" Su Yan asked.

However, he was a little worried. With his status, he was most afraid of being found by those in the system. It was hard to predict whether good or bad luck would come. If he was unlucky, he might even lose his head.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just follow us!" the two said coldly.

Su Yan felt helpless, but he could only pack up simply, say hello to Su's mother, and follow.

……

When he arrived at the place, Su Yan was told that it was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who wanted to summon him.

Su Yan's originally peaceful state of mind was immediately destroyed. Ever since he was forced to come to Yecheng and lived a miserable life for the past few years, it was obviously unlikely that he was really willing to be like this, to be a normal person who was even worse than a normal person.

After all, there is a huge gap between his current life and his previous life!
Even after so many years, he still couldn't accept this gap.

Every time he woke up from his dream at midnight, he felt mixed emotions. After he settled down, he had considered how to get back on his feet and get out of this predicament, but he had never come to a conclusion. Even his life was saved by others, so how could he get out of this predicament so easily?

But now, with the sudden summons of the new Emperor of the Han Dynasty, his mood began to heat up again involuntarily. He had a vague premonition that this might be a great opportunity for him and he must seize it.

This was not the first time Su Yan came to the palace, but he had only been to the palace of Da Cang before. But now was his first time to come to the palace of the Han Dynasty, and as a commoner captive, he bowed down before the Han Emperor Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was still so high and mighty, holding Luowang in his hand, and looking at Su Yan with scrutiny, he asked, "Su Yan, have you gotten used to living in Yecheng these years?"

"Your Majesty, although we only have simple porridge and small dishes, hidden in a busy city, we are still content!" Su Yan's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, showing the demeanor of a noble family.

Hearing his answer, Wang Yu spoke again, "Minister Su, you are indeed the son of the Prime Minister, a descendant of a famous family, who became famous at a young age and has the demeanor of a wise man!"

"Your Majesty, I am no longer a minister, but just a commoner!" Su Yan lowered his head.

Hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Henan has not dismissed you from your post yet. You are still a minister of Da Cang, but you are just temporarily living in Yecheng!"

Su Yan said immediately: "When we came north, we became Han people! We are no longer subjects of the Great Cang!"

Hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh again.

It seems that things today are going more smoothly than he had imagined.

It seems that the life in the past few years has had a great impact on the son of the prime minister.

He had heard that when the son of the prime minister was first captured, although he was not as arrogant as those diehards, he was not that stable either.

"You are a respected scholar-official, originally enjoying a high position and generous salary. However, you have been displaced to Yecheng, without food or clothing, living in poverty and destitute, and only make a living by writing. Don't you feel that this is a disgrace to culture?" Wang Yusui asked again.

"Your Majesty, I have been studying since I was young, and I pride myself on having a deep understanding of the key points. However, now that I have this experience in the market, I realize how narrow my vision was in the past. Poetry and books on politics are nothing but empty talk that will harm the country. As the sages said, one must suffer in the heart, labor in the muscles and bones, and starve in the body. Only after experiencing it myself do I realize that what I had before was nothing but pretentiousness," said Su Yan.

After living in poverty for several years, he indeed saw some things that he had never seen before and realized some things that he had never thought about before.

"It seems that Minister Su has had some remarkable experiences these days!" Wang Yu chuckled, "How do you feel about living in seclusion among the people?"

Su Yan responded fluently: "First, I am grateful for the emperor's kindness and good governance, which benefit the people; second, I am grateful for the strict laws and regulations of the court; third, I am grateful for the kindness and simplicity of the people in Yecheng, whose livelihood is not easy."

After hearing what he said, Wang Yu looked at Su Yan again, sighed leisurely, and said: "Minister Su, you have added a lot of fireworks air compared to before, but I feel very comfortable looking at you. If you were an official, you would be a good minister!"

This time, Wang Yu spoke the truth.

Although he had not seen Su Yan many times before, he had some impression of him. But when he saw Su Yan again today, he was completely different from the vague impression he had in his mind, both inside and out.

"I wonder what Minister Su thinks about the current situation in the world?" Wang Yu asked again somewhat abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan thought about it seriously for a while, raised his eyes and glanced at the Emperor of the Han Dynasty carefully, then he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, after the Battle of Hedong, the Han Dynasty took all the land north of the river, and the national strength increased greatly. With your Majesty's wisdom and strategy, you will be able to unify the world and rebuild the world in time!"

However, Su Yan did not mean to flatter Wang Yu when he said this.

With the end of the Hedong War, the situation in Dacang has become increasingly clear. The strength of the various forces has been widened, forming different levels.

The originally powerful Prince Jing was already on the decline at this time.

If it weren't for his good luck, I'm afraid the Da Cang royal family would have almost squandered all their wealth.

"I appreciate your good words!" Wang Yu seemed very happy. He looked at Su Yan and said, "Your family is all in Henan. Now that you are far away from each other, you must be missing home very much!"

After hearing what Wang Yu said, Su Yan's expression finally showed a little emotion. After a moment, he finally sighed and said, "How can a person not miss his family?"

At this moment, Su Yan's heart really began to fluctuate.

Just as he said, after wandering around for so many years and living a precarious life, how could he not miss his family?

How many midnights have I spent in endless longing and pain?

Wang Yu nodded. He seemed very satisfied with Su Yan's attitude.

"I intend to let Runan go back to Henan to reunite with your family!"

Su Yan was a little dazed, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Originally, according to his guess, if the Emperor of Han wanted to use him, he would probably give him a position in Yecheng to serve as a consultant on "Cangshi".

Therefore, when Su Yan heard that the Emperor of Han wanted to release him back to Henan, he was actually very surprised.

This was completely contrary to what he had thought before.

Wang Yu obviously sensed Su Yan's doubts, so he said calmly: "You don't have to doubt it. I let you go back to Henan just to let you take a letter to Huangfu Guyuan."

"In addition, if you can continue to serve as an official in the Cang Court, wouldn't you be able to serve my Han Dynasty better?" Wang Yu said in a vague voice.

A Su Yan is useless in the Han Dynasty. Only if he returns to Da Cang will he be useful to him and to the Han Dynasty.

After hearing this, Su Yan completely realized what was going on. Without hesitation, he prostrated himself and shouted, "I am willing to serve your majesty!"

A few years ago, he would have disdained to associate with such a traitor in his eyes.

But a few years later he said that this was in line with the will of heaven, abandoning darkness and turning to light, and a wise bird choosing the right tree to roost in.

Wang Yu used Su Yan with the intention of using him as Qin Hui. Of course, if he could do so, after the great unification, there would be another kind of narration in the history books.
