Chapter 44: Roaring
Chen Qing took the new pair of silver chopsticks and couldn't see it for a while, it was really "nothing".
Li Chengxun swallowed his saliva, and had to ask the proprietress to quickly add soup and ingredients.
"Master, the old slave gives you, what do you want to eat? Lamb or fresh veggies? ”
Chen Qing glanced at Li Chengxun, who was sweating from eating, and then pointed to the stack of mutton in front of him, and promised to hurry up and put it down. After waiting for the shabu-shabu to be finished, he promised to divide a small piece of meat into his bowl with a knife, and after eating for almost a short time, he felt that there was no problem, and then divided the remaining large piece into the silver bowl of Chen Qing.
"Master, it's no problem, you eat."
Li Chengxun on the side rolled his eyes several times and whispered, "Are you interesting?" One try is enough. Besides, I've eaten almost a third of it, and if it was poisonous, I would have died a long time ago. Then Li Chengxun discussed in his heart, "This is poisonous or not, I don't need to smell it, I can see it." ”
The candle dragon clan is invulnerable, and they have a pair of discerning eyes to recognize poison, and no kind of poison can escape their eyes.
"Eh~ Shiziye, you won't move." Xu Promise put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, Chen Qing watched the meat on the edge of the bowl fly away all of a sudden, and his face blackened all of a sudden, but Xu Promise didn't notice it at all.
Li Chengxun saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, and while eating, he seduced Father-in-law Xu and continued, "You say, I want to hear what is in here." ”
"Lord Shizi, let me tell you, this poisoning matter is quite knowledgeable, and the highest layer in it is colorless and tasteless to kill people invisibly. Let's take eating mutton in a mutton pot shop as an example. ”
Xu Promise said and picked up a candle next to him, "It's this lit candle, it doesn't necessarily have incense mixed in it." Misty incense has always used a special scent, if it is used alone, it is easy to be noticed, if the skill is not good, it is nothing, if someone else is good, it may be escaped before the drug is fully attacked.
Therefore, many young people in the rivers and lakes are accustomed to using some side ways to integrate these rice ingredients into this candle, which itself has a certain smell, which can completely cover up the smell of incense and make it difficult for people to notice. There is just one downside. ”
Li Chengxun wiped his mouth and replied, "I can't use it during the day, I have to go to that person to order it in person or in advance, and people who practice martial arts often have excellent night vision, and sometimes they are not fooled at all." ”
Xu Promise applauded, "Yes, what the prince said is right, everything is right......" As soon as he turned his head to share with his master, Xu Promise was shocked, "Hey, master!" How did you do it yourself? ”
"Waiting for you? Wait until you're starving. Chen Qing is similar to Li Chengxun, he set off from the palace gate in the afternoon, and after a while walking around the streets of the imperial capital, he went to Guozijian to inspect. In order to show the poverty of the upper and lower levels, although some pastries and fruits were placed, they were all difficult to eat.
"But ......"
"But what?" Chen Qing pointed at Li Chengxun, "Didn't you see that he was still alive, is it so difficult to eat a meal with peace of mind?" Don't say anything, but don't be, today is to eat. ”
"Minion ......"
"You, you go on."
"No."
Li Chengxun smiled, and hurriedly handed down the ladder to Gonggong Xu, the great eunuch in the palace, "In addition to candles, there are other things that can be poisoned here." ”
When it comes to his expertise, Father-in-law Xu's eyes burst out with dazzling light.
"Listen up, Lord Shizi.
First of all, let's talk about these dishes, as well as this soup pot. If you want to annihilate them all, the best medicine is in this pot, but after a lot of poisons go through high temperatures, the toxicity is not so strong, so this still has drawbacks. ”
"And what about in the drink?" Li Chengxun swallowed the mutton in his mouth.
"Drinks are fine, but they don't. It is said in this medical technique that there is a rare allergy that causes erythema and swelling all over the body if you drink alcohol, which is life-threatening in severe cases. This kind of person generally doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, if he is in the wine, he meets this kind of person, he is still strong in martial arts, and it is easy to turn his head and be destroyed. ”
"Then what's the way to poison us all?" The man at the next table heard a shout.
"It's not for nothing." Xu Promise picked up the chopsticks in front of him and tapped the bowl.
Li Chengxun, who understood, said, "Bowls and chopsticks? ”
"Exactly. This to the inn or the restaurant, this has to eat, this point is not necessarily eaten, but you can't always move the chopsticks, whether it's delicious or not, you always have to taste it. ”
Li Chengxun clapped his hands, and then said to his classmates around him, "Listen more and learn more, you will be able to use it one day." It's an experience you can't learn from a book. In the future, if you go to the local government to become an official, you have to be careful. ”
Li Chengxun's cleverness almost didn't choke Chen Qing, "Is my country so unstable?" Chen Qing whispered in Li Chengxun's ear.
Li Chengxun spread his hands and whispered, "If it was safe, would my father and mother die back then?" The Hexi Corridor is within the territory of Dachen. If you were safe, would you be born with a fire in the palace? ”
Chen Qing choked in his throat for a moment, unable to refute.
"One day, I will definitely give the people of Dachen a stable life and a prosperous and powerful country."
Li Chengxun nodded, and also looked at Chen Qing very preciously, "If you are really willing to do this, I am willing to be your stepping stone, a pawn, and clear all the obstacles in your path." ”
"Why?" Chen Qing looked at Li Chengxun, and the scrutiny in his eyes never let go.
"Because you are my cousin, my aunt is strict with you, because she is worried that you will not be able to support this huge country alone. And I'm your cousin, and I'll help you when you need it, and there's no reason for that. Li Chengxun took a bite of the lotus root in the bowl and exclaimed, "It's delicious, it's delicious, you taste it." ”
Chen Qing didn't know how he ate the things in the back, because the things in the back became tasteless, and what kept echoing in his mind was Li Chengxun's words, "Help you...... Because you're my cousin. ”
"Should I trust him?" Chen Qing drew a big question mark in his heart. He received the Tao since he was a child, but he couldn't trust everyone around him, and he was destined to be alone.
But when a person suddenly came over and said that he would believe him, Chen Qing shook his head in his heart, impossible!
Because his position means that he can't lose, not a single step.
If he loses, he will never recover, and neither he nor his people will allow him to lose.
Xu was pulled down at the other tables and followed a group of people to talk about his extensive knowledge of toxicology, and these future pillars of the country all admired him.
"Brother Xu, you are so powerful, is it true that someone has worked so hard to poison time?" Mammoth asked.
Promise nodded, "Of course, I've seen it before." ”
