Chapter 11

Accompany the beauty into the devil's cave ()

Seeing Meng Xingtong's charming frown and smile, coupled with her graceful and charming figure, Zi Xing Bao Shuhunyu was about three minutes.

Suddenly, he thought of a "breaking shoe" he encountered in his "previous life", Zixing shivered and his mind suddenly became clear.

That "breaking shoe" is so profound. Zixing suffered a defeat for the first time in his life, and it was in her hands.

The "breaking shoes" left gently, and took away the five-digit money and goods that Zi Xing had "invested" in her, but left a lot of "depression" for Zi Xing.

"Broken Shoes" are naturally not as beautiful as Meng Xingtong, and it can even be said to be not at the same level and is not comparable.

But the two girls have one thing in common, that is, when they say charming words, their eyes were calm from beginning to end, calm to the point of being cold. They did not devote any emotion to the slightest.

Realizing this, Zixing was a little disappointed. He thought to himself: If you don’t talk about love, then just talk about interests. We must never let women cheat me as Kaizi.

"Don't make excessive demands. They are very brave." Meng Xingtong said softly again.

Zi Xing glanced at her, suddenly turned his face and said righteously: "Although I am not rich enough to let you do whatever you want, but I am not poor enough to let you do whatever you want..."

Meng Xingtong's expression was obviously stunned. Unexpectedly, the domineering young man in front of her could speak a touching language like a poetic one.

"So," Zixing tried to make his eyes look deep and sad, and it would be best to turn into a pool of Acacia Lake that can "drunk" a passionate woman: "So, please forget a name that is insignificant to you, and I, forget an unattainable happiness..."

A paradise? A genius? A prodigal son in love?

No matter what identity is, it is enough to make Meng Xingtong feel awe-inspiring.

She changed to a negotiated tone and sighed: "For the past three years, I have been studying special drugs to dispel the 'poisonous miasma'. There are some results, but the efficacy is not particularly obvious. It is far less than the ready-made powder you just used by Gongzi."

As he said that, he stared at Zixing with earnest eyes.

The reason why she valued Zixing was already very obvious.

Jiang Wenhuan was very concerned about politics, and couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Sister Meng, you specialize in studying drugs to dispel poisonous miasma, but because of the war situation in the southwest? The Jiuli tribe repeatedly invaded the border of our Da Shang, burned, killed, and plundered, and did everything evil. The imperial army conquered Jiuli several times, but was hindered by the Li tribe's "poisonous miasma". Sister Meng was able to develop drugs to dispel Gu miasma for the court, which is a great merit."

Jiang Wenhuan actually said those last words to Zixing.

He was reminding "His Royal Highness Shou" that the great merchant country belongs to your family, but it is not as good as "patriotism" than an irrelevant woman. Although I don't know where Zi Xin got the special medicine powder to dispel Gu Miasma, I guess this is a fact-Meng Xingtong would not "rely on" him for no reason.

Zi Xing thought for a moment before speaking solemnly.

I sent half a pack of "Hongling San" to Meng Lingtong. It didn't matter. Zixing was afraid that she would chase after her and ask for the "recipe". So he decided to say Chou in front, "I can give you half a pack of "Hongling San", but it won't work if you want the recipe. The Yiren who said I was "Hongling San", warned me that once the recipe of Hongling San leaked out, he would come and cut off my tongue... Having got half a pack of "Hongling San", you can detect the ingredients of the medicinal materials by yourself and calculate the recipe. However, this half pack of "Hongling San" cannot be given for free. I want to exchange it for two things for you..."

Meng Xingtong's face turned cold, and her charming eyes became sharp like a knife.

Zi Xing also noticed the change in the beauty's expression. He thought to himself, how did my brother's language expression ability decline? The beauty would definitely think wrongly after hearing what she said just now, treating him as a big-tailed wolf who is preparing to tear off the disguise.

Zi Xing quickly explained: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to exchange half a pack of 'Red Spirit San' with yourself. Red Spirit San is so precious, of course, you have to exchange it with the same value..."

Hey, it seems that he said the wrong thing again.

"It turns out that the special medicinal powder that drives away miasma is called 'Hongling San'. I've been taught." Meng Xingtong, with a pretty face that was cold and cold than the snow, said: "Hongling San is of course extremely precious. The quality of the little girl Pu Liu is, where is it used to exchange Hongling San? I would like to ask the young master, what two things do I want me to exchange for it?"

Say more and make mistakes. Zixing quickly focused on the topic: "First, I want one of your promises."

“How to say it?”

Meng Xingtong, Zi Xing and Jiang Wenhuan were talking in a low voice, while walking up to the second floor of the small building and entering the small living room on the left side of the corridor.

The guest and the host sat down on the cushion and continued the topic just now.

Zi Xing said to Meng Xingtong: "I believe you can definitely crack the recipe of 'Hongling San'. I guess you will eventually present this recipe to Your Majesty Emperor Yi to fight against the cruel Jiuli clan. I hope you can talk to Your Majesty: This recipe was made with you and the third prince Zixin."

"Oh. So you are the third prince's person." Meng Xingtong suddenly said.

"That's right." Zi Xing didn't want to reveal his true identity to her, so he responded casually according to her guess.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty Emperor Yi's youngest son also began to build his own team. It can be foreseeable that the 'Crown Prince's dispute' may turn into a bloody storm." Meng Xingtong sighed quietly.

He looked at Zi Xing with a smile and made fun of him: "However, the master you decided to follow is the weakest. So, even a 'boy scout' like you was incorporated. I think there are not many powerful figures in the court who are optimistic about him and surrender to him."

Zi Xing felt so depressed when she was underestimated by the beauty.

"I don't care if I and the third prince develop the formula of "Hongling San". But have you ever thought about it? Your Majesty has never heard of Shou's talent in medicine. I suddenly heard what I said, if Your Majesty personally examines Shou's medical knowledge..."

"I said, you made a recipe with the 'King of Shou', which means that you would like to tell Your Majesty: All the funds you have engaged in research come from the living expenses saved by King Shou's savings. His Highness, King Shou, has always been alert to Jiuli's wolfish ambitions and is determined to share your worries for Your Majesty, so he found you like this... Do you understand?"

Meng Xingtong looked at him with a little dumbfounded look and thought: Is this kid so fooling? I heard that King Shou can eat ten kilograms of beef in one meal and “save food”! King Shou dared to use his "baby soldier" like him out of order, but he was a figure. In politics, he had a strong strife.

"I agreed to this first exchange." Meng Xingtong smiled pursed her lips and said, "Continue. Let me see what other strange requests you can make?"

"The second condition is that I want you to have fifteen boxes of medicinal materials. I want those boxes to be useful. Of course, the purpose is not convenient to disclose now." Zixing thought to himself: With these fifteen boxes, all the conditions for dealing with Li Zhenchang were in place.

Meng Xingtong's expression was obviously stunned.

The first condition that the other party raised was not difficult for her to achieve, but it was of great benefit to the master he "returned to".

As for the second condition of "let her fifteen-hole box", it is too unexpected.

What's the tricky boy's idea?

Meng Xingtong knew her background: those dozen boxes were brought back from the Western Regions. The things from foreign countries, except for the carved patterns with obvious exotic style, are not expensive and are not worth much.

Unable to guess the young man's thoughts, Meng Xingtong was questioning, but she was not embarrassed, and readily agreed to give the box to him.

I found a room without anyone. Zi Xing took out the "Hongling San" from the storage ring, and evened it out half a pack, and put it in an empty porcelain bottle.

The remaining half of the bag of "Hongling San" is put back into the storage ring and put it in.

With the good mood of making a super cost-effective deal, I took half a bottle of "Hongling San" and walked into Meng Xingtong's temporary residence.

Meng Xingtong placed fifteen boxes in her residence, very cautious.

He stepped into the door and saw Meng Xingtong and her close-fitting girl, Jiang Wenhuan, who was standing among the piles of bamboo slips.

Next to the bamboo slips were the wooden boxes that opened the lock and lifted the lid - those boxes that Zi Xing wanted.

Isn’t the box used to hold medicinal materials? Why do you put out so many bamboo slips?

Seeing Zi Xing’s doubts, Meng Xingtong explained: “There are only three boxes of medicinal materials in the fifteen-hole boxes. The other twelve boxes are filled with bamboo slips containing various prescriptions. It was difficult for me to collect these three thousand almost lost folk remedies. Their value is much more precious than medicinal materials.”

There are actually twelve boxes of "medicine"!

It seems that there are quite a lot of people, and it is estimated that in the era of developed printing industry, it is equivalent to the content of "Compendium of Materia Medica".

For a time, Zi Xing quite missed the era when paper books were available everywhere.

Well. The Shang Dynasty, which was backward in technology, seemed to have a "mysterious voice" calling, calling for brother to be Cai Lun... Ah, it was not to be Cai Lun's dead eunuch, but to be the pioneer of the era of "inventing papermaking"!

Having said that, although the number of prescriptions recorded in the bamboo slips is only equal to a "Compendium of Materia Medica", Zixing believes that with Meng Xingtong's eyes, these prescriptions are definitely difficult to find. Although they are not the elixir recipes of immortals, their profound impact on a country cannot be underestimated.

Zixing was moved.

"I'll see these medicines quickly and immediately burn them all." Zi Xingyu was not shocking.

"Burn?" Meng Xingtong was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, like a little female cat with a trampled tail, jumped up, angrily said: "Do you know how much thought it took me to get these more than 3,000 prescriptions? Burn them all! You said it's so light. Burn your head!"

"Didn't Jiang Yicheng tell you our plan? You and your people should act as 'bait' and go deep into the old nest of Sihu in Chentang. Jiang Yicheng is also preparing to put all the official personnel he can draw into this battle... In this way, the medicines you placed in this temporary residence are unattended and are left alone, and it will be bad..."

"Nothing is that coincidental. Besides, I can leave a few bodyguards to guard Yao Jian."

Jiang Wenhuan is worthy of being a "child" who grew up with Zi Xing, and is "interested" with him. As soon as he heard Zi Xing's tone, he knew that this kid wanted to find Meng Xingtong with more than 3,000 prescriptions.

Zixing can watch it whenever he wants...

It's late at night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is not only a "killing night"; it is also a time when all dirty events are high.

Zi Xing and Meng Xingtong were riding in the same carriage, and there were more than ten carriages hanging behind the carriage.

More than a dozen locked wooden boxes were tied to the top of these carriages.

A line of carriages went deep into a manor built in the suburbs. It was the old nest of Sihu in Chentang.

Meng Xingtong and her party were "invited" by nearly fifty gang members with big and round waists from the "Tiger Head Gang" to "negotiate the sale of medicinal materials".

At this moment, on a large desert slope, dozens of bright torches were lit up on the mountain behind the Hutou Gang Manor, illuminating this place like daytime.

The carriage drove to the barren slope and stopped.

There were four shirtless men sitting around a square table in a big way. It must be Chentang Four Hu.
