Chapter 100 Jin丨Exclusive publication by Jiang Wenxue
After crossing the beach, Xue Chen boarded the boat surrounded by people, followed the people in front, and came to his brother's room.
This boat should be Gong Jiu's exclusive. The location of the room and the furnishings inside are all the same as what Xie Heng saw before.
Pushing the door open, it is a guest room with a complete set of tables and chairs. The bedroom on the left is relatively small, with only a bed, a wardrobe, a clothes hanger, and a mirror. There is also a table about two meters long by the window, on which are placed two vases, and the flowers inside are still very fresh.
Xue Chen's eyes fell on the shelf at the head of the bed.
There was a red whip lying horizontally there.
He walked forward, took off the whip and looked at it. The whip was made of leather, and it didn't feel as soft as it looked. Instead, it had some weight and felt very good.
System: [What are you thinking about?]
Xue Chen: [I was wondering if my brother had disinfected this whip.]
System: [… ]
Xue Chen: [There is no blood stain on it, it looks quite clean, it should have been cleaned.]
System: […]
Xue Chen: [Now I understand why many swordsmen have a cleanliness fetish. It's really easy to associate it with blood, and it makes me feel dirty just thinking about it.]
System: [You actually think blood is dirty, Da Mian is quite happy to drink blood.]
Xue Chen said painfully: [Before unlocking Da Mian, I was also very hygienic. It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't be like this now. 】
System: 【You want to whip people, that's your own perversion, it's none of my business! 】
Xue Chen: 【What do you mean you want to whip people? You're the one who wants to whip people! I'm talking about accepting the setting of Cotton Drinking Blood. 】
System: 【...Oh. 】
Xue Chen waved the whip: 【You reminded me, this whip is of good quality, it looks really useful. 】
System: 【...】
He put the whip down and looked at the sword on the shelf next to him.
Although Gong Jiu is a swordsman, he doesn't take the sword as seriously as Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng.
He often changes his sword, and his swordsmanship is so powerful that it doesn't matter whether the weapon is in his hand or not. As long as it can be used, it can be used with great power.
Xue Chen took the sword and looked at it: [My brother may have a collecting habit.]
System: [Collecting swords?]
Xue Chen: [Not just swords, but other things too, such as the boxes of gifts he always sends.]
System: [Your brother really has a lot of hobbies...]
Xue Chen: [He still has a taste for life.]
System: [???]
Xue Chen took the sword, tidied up his hair crown and the wrinkles on his clothes, went out and found someone to take him to see Wen Qu.
Xue Chen: [Do you think my brother knows the way to the palace?]
System: [It's hard to say.]
Xue Chen: [I'll ask him next time.]
System: [...]
Wen Qu lives far away, even farther than the servants, and is already close to the utility room.
This position is more bumpy than the front. He can feel the surge of the sea water and hear some noise from the hull. It can be seen that he is treated very badly.
Xue Chen's face is getting uglier and uglier: "If I remember correctly, Wen Qu has agreed to work for me."
The person who is guarding Wen Qu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Jiu, please forgive me. You said that no one can see Wen Qu. I can only arrange him here to avoid being discovered."
Xue Chen: "Change his residence, just next to Xie Heng."
"Yes."
Xue Chen: [I now feel that the difference between villains and decent people lies in the standard of selecting subordinates. The villains are more lenient, so they seem to be powerful and do all kinds of evil. What kind of people did my brother choose? They are either greedy or stupid and clumsy. 】
System:【I feel your brother won't bother with this kind of thing.】
Xue Chen:【That's true, his mind is all on my father and me.】
Xue Chen pushed the door open and walked in.
Wen Qu was lying on a simple bed, covered with a thin blanket, looking at him with a pale face. He stood up with difficulty, "Ninth Young Master."
Xue Chen adhered to his character and did not find a place to sit down. He stood in front of Wen Qu and looked down at him: "It seems that you have recovered well."
Wen Qu: "Young Master Xie is a great doctor, and the medicine he prescribed is very useful."
Xue Chen: "Xie Heng can make an antidote for a poisonous rust in just a few days, so his medical skills are naturally not bad. There is no need to make a poison like a poisonous rust again. In the future, you will work with him to develop poisons and follow his arrangements. Do you have any objections?"
Wen Qu: "What? Young Master Xie is the one who made the antidote?"
Xue Chen nodded.
Wen Qu: "No wonder..."
Xue Chen: [He seems to admire Xie Heng so much. 】
System: 【I said Wen Qu praised me in front of Xie Heng, why didn't you admit it? It
turns out that you are just pretending to be so arrogant.】Xue Chen: 【This makes Xie Heng look more humble.】
System: 【……】
Wen Qu said ashamedly: "I have been making poison for 30 years. I thought I was already an expert in this field. I even spent a lot of effort to develop a poison that can control people's behavior. I didn't expect that it would be easily cracked by such a young junior... I would like to use him as the main person and assist him in developing other poisons."
Xue Chen: "You are very knowledgeable."
Wen Qu smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
Xue Chen did not stay here and returned to his room.
He sent someone to move Wen Qu's room to the next door to Xie Heng.
The original body was right beside him. Xie Heng did not dare to make elixir on the boat. He only made some drinks and put them in a wine pot. He read books and drank at the same time.
Hu Sheng looked at him worriedly: "Sir, are you worried?"
Xie Heng raised his eyes and smiled: "What worries can I have?"
Gong Jiu let Xie Heng do whatever he wanted, and Hu Sheng never advised him to drink less. But seeing him like this every day, he still felt worried.
Mr. Hu: "Let me rub your legs."
Xie Heng said: "No need, I'm afraid someone will come soon. Put away the things on the table, open the window, let the smell of alcohol go away, and then go get a bowl of honey water."
Mr. Hu worked silently.
System: [You're still drinking! ]
Xue Chen: [Why don't you drink it if you can drink it? This is a super healthy drink I made myself. Xie Heng has been drinking it for a few days and his skin has improved. ]
System: [Illusion, these are all set and will not change at all. ]
Xue Chen: [I can't fool you, there is progress. ]
System: [……]
Mr. Hu cleaned up the table, took away the wine pot, half-hugged Xie Heng, changed his clothes that were stained with alcohol, brought warm water to wash his face, and got honey water.
Xie Heng pretended to be sober and said, "It's really unfair for you to stay with me."
Hu Sheng wiped his hands and said, "What are you talking about, sir? I am a person from Wuming Island in life and a ghost of Wuming Island in death. It is my duty to take care of you, sir."
Xie Heng: "Why did you come to Wuming Island?"
Hu Sheng: "I couldn't make it in the underworld, so I thought about going out to sea. Unexpectedly, I encountered a storm and the boat capsized on the sea. I was lucky to escape and was swept to a small island by the sea. Jiu Shaoye had someone rescue me. Not only was he willing to take me in, he also helped me solve my enemies and avenge my father's murder. I have no relatives or friends left, only Only on the nameless island can I find peace."
Xie Heng smiled and said, "It's very similar to me."
Hu Sheng: "It's a pity that I don't have the talent of the young master. I can neither count nor know medicine."
Xie Heng: "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Hu Sheng put away the handkerchief and threw it into the basin. He said honestly: "I am almost forty years old and have long passed the age of learning. Besides, I have to take care of the young master. Where can I have so much energy to focus on this? If the young master wants to take in disciples, you can ask the ninth master to help find a few young children. I'll forget about it."
Xie Heng: "I'm not interested in taking in disciples."
At this time, the door of the house rang.
Hu Sheng walked over: "Who is it?"
Wen Qu's vitality was seriously damaged. Although the external injuries had almost healed, the internal organs still needed to be recuperated. His voice was weak: "It's me, Wen Qu."
Hu Sheng opened the door and invited him in.
Wen Qu looked at the young man sitting on the chair and said: "Do you want to accept me as your apprentice? What do you think of me? Although I am a little older, I have been exposed to poison since I was a child, so I have some talent."
He walked over slowly.
Xie Heng leaned on the armrest of the chair, propped up his chin and looked at him: "I can't make poison."
Wen Qu: "Then I will learn medicine from you."
Xie Heng: "To be honest, I don't have much interest in medicine. The reason I learned it is just because I can use it."
Hu Sheng glanced at his leg.
Xie Heng should have studied medicine to cure his leg.
Unfortunately, his medical skills are already advanced enough, but he still can't cure himself. He can only pin his hopes on those illusory things.
Wen Qu: "You don't like medicine, but you have mastered it. If you spend more time on it, you will definitely achieve considerable success."
Xue Chen: [Tong'er, is he telling the truth?]
System: [You have already reached the ceiling level. No matter how hard you try, you can't break through this limit.]
Xue Chen: [I understand. It's like Newton studied physics and finally began to believe in God. Other seemingly unrelated aspects may be its shortcomings, which restrict the level of development in this aspect?]
System: [Yes.]
Xue Chen: [No wonder my brother and Ye Gucheng went to rebel after practicing swordsmanship. There is no way out of practicing swordsmanship!]
System: [Are you serious? 】
Xue Chen:【I just said it casually.】
Xie Heng remained silent, and Wen Qu thought he had said something wrong.
He thought about it over and over again, and didn't think that any of his words could touch Xie Heng's pain point. He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy: "Mr. Xie, I moved next door to you, so we can be considered neighbors."
Xie Heng nodded: "This ship will probably sail on the sea for three or four days. If you are bored, you can come to find me."
Wen Qu: "Gong Jiu asked me to follow you to make poison."
Xie Heng: "I know."
Wen Qu: "Do you really want to make poison?"
In front of Mr. Hu, it was not convenient for Xie Heng to say it too obviously. He said lightly: "I don't like studying medicine, and I don't like making poisons. Compared with these two things, I prefer to seek immortals and ask questions."
Wen Qu: "Seeking immortals and asking questions?"
Xie Heng smiled: "In the future, you can help me heat the stove." Wen
Qu: "Boil the stove?"
System: [The question marks in his head are about to overflow. 】
Xue Chen: [What's wrong with cultivating immortals? Why are so many people prejudiced against cultivating immortals? I haven't done anything outrageous! 】
System: [Are you cultivating immortals? It looks more like self-mutilation! 】
Xue Chen: [Damn it, even you look down on me. Sooner or later, I will definitely make gunpowder that conforms to the world consciousness and blow up that broken island. 】
System: [Come on. 】
Xie Heng gave him a basic knowledge of alchemy and told him how to control the temperature so that he could protect himself while burning the pot.
Wen Qu became more and more confused as he listened. At the end, he looked at Xie Heng with a strange look in his eyes. After
Xie Heng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of honey water.
Wen Qu asked tentatively: "Master Xie, have you ever thought about changing to a new furnace, maybe it won't explode?"
Xie Heng looked at him in surprise: "You know this?"
Wen Qu: "Medicine and poison are inseparable, I occasionally refine some pills."
"My pill furnace was made by myself with the help of Hu Sheng to find the materials. I deliberately made it not as strong as the ones outside, just to make it easier to explode." Xie Heng said angrily, "People like you won't understand."
Wen Qu saw that he looked bored and turned back to look at Hu Sheng.
Hu Sheng shook his head lightly.
Wen Qu held his hand: "Master Xie, you are still so young, why do you have to think so hard?"
Xie Heng pondered.
[Does it really look like self-mutilation?]
System: [They don't know the real you, so they think so.]
Wen Qu tactfully persuaded him: "You are still young, only in your twenties, and you have a long time to go. The past sufferings are all in the past, and everything is fine now. Why do you want to be immortal? There are also fun things in the secular life."
Xie Heng's eyes were dark: "If you don't want to help me, I will go and tell Gong Jiu.
" Wen Qu: "Of course I am willing to help you."
Xie Heng: "Okay. If I find out that you are cheating, I will drive you away."
Wen Qu sighed.
Such a good genius, why don't you focus on serious things and insist on cultivating immortals?
Who hurt his leg and made Xie Heng's personality become so weird?
System: [Did you really let Wen Qu to start the stove?]
Xue Chen: [Give him a position first, let him know who is the leader, it will be much more convenient to order him to run errands in the future. Xie Heng will definitely not only make pills, I have already made a list, after returning, make anti-inflammatory drugs first, then antipyretic drugs, all these things that can be used, make more of them, and send them to my father in the future to reduce some casualties.]
Xie Heng alone cannot be busy, after he prepares the formula and can produce in batches, he will call all the idle people in Wuming Island to make meatballs for him.
-After
Yun Heyan had a falling out with Wanyan Honglie, no one dared to gossip when Liu Yixuan went to his place again.
But Zhen'er would still look at him with a worried look, and occasionally say a few whimsical words: "Girl, have you ever tried to test whether Yun Heyan really likes you? If he is a trustworthy person, just ask him to take you away."
Liu Yixuan ignored this sentence as she ignored her before.
He pretended not to hear it all, and asked Zhen'er to take the ingredients and go out together.
Zhen'er took a few steps and found something wrong: "Girl, isn't this the way to Yun Heyan's place? Are you going to the kitchen?"
Liu Yixuan nodded.
He hadn't been to the kitchen for several days, and Lao Yan didn't come to send him a message at night. He didn't know whether there was no news or he was afraid of being discovered by the four spies and didn't contact him for the time being.
Liu Yixuan decided to go to the kitchen in person and meet Lao Yan again.
Many people died in the palace, Wanyan Honglie was in a bad mood, and the people under him were also trembling with fear.
Although the servants in the kitchen rarely had direct contact with their masters, they would also be affected, and the atmosphere was very depressed.
The assistant cook who was sweeping the ground in front of the yard saw Liu Yixuan and said in surprise, "Miss Liu, why are you here? Aren't you..."
Zhen'er answered for him, "Our girl has been busy with other things these days. Now she has some free time, so she came to take a look." When
the people in the kitchen heard the voice, they all came out to greet her.
The head chef looked at him sympathetically, "It's really hard for you."
Liu Yixuan shook her head slightly, pointed to the stove in front, and then pointed to the basket carried by Zhen'er.
The head chef understood, "Miss, are you here to cook? The stove is empty. I saw that the fire in the stove was still strong, and I didn't want to put it out, so I boiled a pot of water on it and roasted some chestnuts. Now they are almost roasted."
As he said this, he picked the chestnuts out of the charcoal ash and put them aside.
Liu Yixuan walked over and was about to take one, but Zhen'er stopped him, "Don't move, girl. Be careful of getting burned. Let me peel it."
Zhen'er peeled the chestnuts.
Liu Yixuan turned around and came to the vegetable basket. He squatted down and sorted the vegetables inside. He heard Lao Yan sigh.
He looked up and smiled at Lao Yan.
Lao Yan said, "These vegetables were just delivered today. They are still fresh. See if you can use them."
Liu Yixuan nodded, felt a piece of paper among the leaves, pinched it with her fingers, pulled it into her palm, folded the paper and stuffed it into her sleeve.
