Chapter 344: Poison Ivy
Out of the tent, Feng Gongzi looked up, although it was in the forest, but the nearby branches and leaves had been pruned by the eagle guards, so as soon as he looked up, he could see the night sky shining with starlight, Li Shu followed and looked up, and asked after a while, "Your second brother's injuries have healed?"
Feng Gongzi nodded, "It's almost good, but he is lazy and has been pretending to be weak in front of his eldest brother, and the eldest brother obviously sees it, but he is indulging him." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Feng Gongzi's tone was quite uneven, since he was a child, he was the little brother who was connived at by his brothers, but now he has become the second brother, which makes him a little unconvinced.
"Even if your second brother's injury is good, his foundation is weak, and it will take a few years to give birth and raise him, you don't want him to die young, right?" Lan Hai interjected on the side, their brothers were all grown up by him, and seeing that the originally sturdy Feng Er became what he is now, Lan Hai was very distressed, so he was a little picky about Feng San.
Feng Gongzi smiled, "Yes, yes, I know that you love him, I'll tell him when I go back." ā
"Well, there are three of you, you brothers are not too young, and it is time to look at each other, especially Brother Yan. "Lan Hai is the cousin-in-law of Feng Lao's brother, Feng Lao Zhuang doesn't care about things now, he doesn't even care about the marriage of his son and nephew, Lan Hai is very conscious of urging marriage.
"I'm still early!The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law still don't know where they are, so it's my turn, right?" Feng Gongzi said while glancing at Li Shu without a trace.
Li Shu looked back at him quietly, just looking at Feng Gongzi who was stunned by him, and then smiled back at him, seeing that the corners of Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly, this kid's stupidity is really the same as in the past!
"By the way, Emperor Nanchu has been in poor health recently, and several uncles have taken the opportunity to support the princes to win people's hearts, and in the past few months, the forces in the court and China have become bigger, and it can be seen that not only the princes can't hold back, but several uncles can't sit still. ā
Fengjiazhuang is well-informed, and Fengjiazhuang is in Nanchu, so he naturally knows the situation in Nanchu well, Li Shu thought for a while, and then asked about the king of Ruijun, Feng Gongzi was stunned, how could he suddenly ask about this person?
"Princess Ruijun is the princess of Changping of Eastern Qi, she has a younger brother, for the Nine Emperors of Eastern Qi, this time it is this Nine Emperors and the Northern Jin Dynasty Princess Zhenyang cooperation, the Duke of Zhenyang wants to go to the blue sea to treat her horse, and the Nine Emperors want to get the treasure of Ruiyao Sect through shallowness. ā
Although Fengjiazhuang is well-informed, he doesn't know what the purpose of the cooperation between the two is, only that the Nine Emperors of Eastern Qi sent a pair of aunts and nephews from the Xie family to the Northern Jin Dynasty.
"If it weren't for the man in black attacking that Xiu Zining, Huacheng would have been locked down urgently, I'm afraid that something bad would have happened to me and Jinyi. Li Shu shook his head and sighed.
Feng Gongzi thought for a moment and asked, "How did Jin Yi get hurt?" A person who was originally strong and tough, but now he was so thin that he was out of shape, and his face was pale.
Li Shu told everyone what they had encountered these days, and after listening to it, Feng Gongzi said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty to have explosives." ā
The Tiansheng Empire used to be a highly technologically advanced country, and when it was about to die, today's sky-high goods like glass were cheap goods available to ordinary people at that time, and the fireworks set off in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve every year were even more spectacular.
It's just that after the fall of the Tiansheng Empire, the craftsmen who were originally supported by the imperial court died and fled, and when the situation gradually settled down, many of these outstanding craftsmen died in the war and natural disasters.
The reason why Zhao Guo considered himself to be the heirs of the Tiansheng Empire was because they possessed many techniques and craftsmen of the Tiansheng Empire, and their craftsmanship may not be as good as their ancestors, but at least they were much stronger than other countries.
Zhao is far superior to other countries in planting and breeding, especially the location of Zhao is good, the land is fertile and rich in minerals.
There is a part of the land in Southern Chu, which was originally the fief of the virtuous prince of the Tiansheng Empire, although the land is also very fertile, but there are few plains and many mountainous areas, although the minerals are richer than those of Zhao, but due to the rugged mountains, mining is not as easy as Zhao, and the national strength is not as good as Zhao.
The territory of the Eastern Qi is long and narrow, one side is bordered by the sea, and the other side is bordered by Southern Chu, Zhao and Northern Jin, there are not many plains that can be planted, and their planting technology is not as good as that of Zhao, and the output has not been able to go up, so they can only import grain from Zhao and Southern Chu.
Zhao is the main importer.
The Northern Jin Dynasty mainly lived on animal husbandry, and they could plant less land than the Eastern Qi Dynasty, so importing grain from Zhao became the norm.
As for the West Vietnam, they are the same as the Northern Jin Dynasty, focusing on animal husbandry, supplemented by planting, because they are at odds with Zhao, the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Chu, and no one wants to buy grain, so they have to cross the border every autumn harvest and come to Zhao to grab grain.
"Zhao Guo would actually sell explosives to the Northern Jin Dynasty?" said Feng Gongzi.
"What's this, not all merchants are like this, some people buy, some people sell. Li Shu didn't care, but Feng Gongzi felt that he needed to find out, so he immediately ordered Xuanyi to let someone investigate.
Seeing that he was so cautious, Li Shu and they couldn't help but be right.
"Who did Zhao Guo sell explosives to, is it so serious?"
"Zhao Guo listed several things as prohibited goods, glass, porcelain, explosives and this. As he spoke, he took out a glass bead from his purse around his waist.
"It's beautiful. Lan Hai took it from Feng Gongzi's hand and looked at it, "This is a glass bead?"
"Yes, I've heard there's a bigger one. ā
Lan Hai looked at it for a long time before he realized that the transparency of this glass bead was very different from what he had seen before.
"What is this?"
"I heard that the craftsmen of Zhao are studying how to make these glass beads more transparent, and they are also studying how to make the glass more transparent and smooth. ļ¼
But I can't help it!
Many skills have been lost with the passing of those old craftsmen, and now the glass craft is passed down by the apprentices and grandchildren of those old craftsmen, but the old craftsmen have not had time to pass on the craftsmanship, and they have passed away.
Li Shu took the glass beads and looked at them thoughtfully for a long time, he seemed to have seen the method of making glass there?
Where is it?
Why can't you think of it?
Li Qianqian woke up and learned that her cousin was back, and she was excited to get out of bed to see him, but she had a high fever and didn't eat much, and her feet became soft as soon as she stepped on the ground, so frightened that Chunjiang hurriedly rushed over and hugged her.
"Master, slow down. ā
"Yes, yes. Li Qianqian smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I'm not in a hurry!"
"You can't be in a hurry, otherwise the Great Sect Master will know about it, and he will be distressed. ā
Hehe, Li Qianqian was good-natured and tossed by her, and when she put on the thick embroidered jacket and the skirt in the hair, Li Qianqian touched the clothes on her body in surprise, "This is not the clothes we brought, right?"
"Well, it was Feng Gongzi who brought it over. Chunshou pointed to the tent with a smile, "These are all Oh! It started to rain the next day after you fell ill, and if it weren't for the tent brought by Feng Gongzi, everyone would have been drenched in the rain outside." ā
"Feng Gongzi, they are worthy of being people who often go out, if it were us, we would never have thought of preparing a tent. ā
Li Qianqian nodded and replied, "That is, we have too little experience, so we have to learn from others." ā
While talking, Chun Jiang had already helped her tie her hair, and then helped her to sit down outside, while Chun Shou went to invite Li Shu and them over.
Li Qianqian's fever subsided, they didn't dare to let her go out to blow the wind, Lan Tang and Feng Gongzi arrived one after the other, Lan Tang was a little unhappy because he was robbed by Feng Gongzi, but as soon as he saw Li Qianqian, he rushed over and hugged her, "You scared me to death!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Qianqian didn't know that he was so weak, but he was injured a little, so why did he start a high fever.
"It's not okay!" Lan Tang said, "My father said that when you fell at the secret passage, you happened to encounter a kind of poison ivy, and you will burn and retreat, it is because of this poison ivy." ā
Not only Li Qianqian was stunned, but even Chunjiang and the others were stunned, "Miss Tang, didn't you say it before?"
"My dad also just thought that when he came out of the secret passage, he happened to see the poison ivy, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but then he saw that the situation was not right, so he went back to see it again in the morning, and he was indeed not mistaken, and when he came back, he changed your prescription, so your body temperature finally came down. ā
It is also because of this that she can fully come to her senses.
Feng Gongzi was secretly relieved as he listened, fortunately, when they left Huacheng, they went to the pharmacy to make up a bunch of goods, otherwise Lan Hai would have to change the prescription, and there would be no medicinal materials available.
Li Shu and the others came over, and everyone was relieved to see that Li Qianqian was finally sober, but Li Shu still asked Lan Hai to quickly help Li Qianqian take the pulse, and always make sure that her fever was subsided, so everyone could leave.
Lan Hai checked the pulse and confirmed that the poison ivy in Li Qianqian's body had disappeared, and Li Shu said, "Then prepare to leave." ā
"It's strange, it's been three or four days since we came out of the secret passage, why haven't they moved at all?" Lan Hai prescribed a prescription and handed it to his daughter to grab the medicine, and then said to Li Shu.
"Is there any other exit?"
"I don't know. Li Shu was in the secret passage, and he mingled with Xie Yingluo and their people for a few days, but except for the exit they came out, they didn't see the second one.
Feng San made tea for everyone, and poured Bai Kai for Li Qianqian, "Maybe they are worrying, that Fang Xinhuai's injury, right?"
"You say, will he have encountered poison ivy too?"
Li Qianqian just rubbed the poison ivy a little bit, and he had a high fever and a low fever, that Fang Xinhuai in order to hide in the secret passage, but rubbed it all over the ground and on the wall, maybe he also touched the poison ivy, if this is the case, then he must also have a high fever and low fever now.
"If that's the case, it would be great!"
Hey, hey, hey, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, Xie Yingluo and the others were worried about this matter, with a high fever and a low fever, not only Fang Xinhuai alone, but also the guards who helped him up that day.
Doctor Chen almost died in a hurry, and Xie Yingluo and the commander of the Praetorian Guard were afraid that it would be contagious, so they didn't dare to send people to the secret passage to find Li Shu and them.
Later, Xie Yingluo's henchman remembered that there seemed to be a poison ivy at the mouth of the secret passage, and if it was stained with this poison, it was a high fever and a low fever.
