Chapter 44: Resurrection Potion
King Hu shuddered and applied a little more force to his hand, causing Shen Yunzheng to grimace in pain.
He ignored Shen Yunzheng and muttered to himself: "Oh no, I must have gone crazy from the poison test. I actually heard the pheasant speak."
King Hu has been researching a new poison recently, but he couldn't find anyone to test it on, so he had to do it himself.
Shen Yunzheng hugged his pitiful self and felt hopeless: "Uncle, you heard it right."
Not only King Hu heard it, everyone heard it.
Chen Xun pinched the pheasant's mouth without any hesitation and said innocently, "Just now... did you hear any sound?"
No one answered.
They were all doing their own things, with nothing to do. They either looked up at the sky or down at the ground, but they didn't look at Shen Xun.
Shen Xun nodded with satisfaction, and after checking the injuries of the three children, he carried the pheasant into the tent.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yang swallowed hard, "Master, I finally understand why you ignored Chen Xun. It turns out she is a monster!"
Su Song: “…”
Kid, you're half right.
Su Yang couldn't help but start thinking, should he send a message to the emperor, asking the emperor to deal with Shen Xun personally.
After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, blessed with dragon energy, so he should be able to defeat monsters... right?
Inside the tent, Shen Xun poked the pheasant's wings, "System, why are you here?"
The system put its hands on its hips and said, "If I hadn't come, you could have started your feast."
Shen Xun flicked it rudely, "How can you talk like that?"
Back to the story, we learned from the system that it was here to deliver something to Shen Xun.
The system pulled out a pearl necklace and said, "Here, this is it."
"A pearl necklace?"
Shen Xun shook his head, "That's it? Is it worth it for you to come here in person?"
The system said mysteriously: "This is not an ordinary pearl necklace..."
Shen Xun blurted out: "Is this the pearl necklace in Wang Wei's poem?"
system:"……"
It was speechless: "Such an old joke, you really don't use the Internet at all."
Chen Xun muttered, "You need internet access, too. Do you think I have internet access here?"
"Well, let's not talk about that," the system said, "This is actually a resurrection pill. You humans are too fragile and die easily. I got the time wrong and caused you trouble. The space and this pill are just compensation."
The system asked Shen Xun to twist the pearl, and the pearl split in the middle, revealing a black pill inside.
There are four small words written on the pill - resurrection from the dead.
The system took the necklace and put it in Shen Xun's hand, "The item has been delivered, I'm leaving."
"Remember to bury the young man I possessed. His family was... so pitiful, he was hacked to death by bandits at such a young age."
When the system arrived here, it happened to encounter the vendor who was chopped into two pieces.
It possessed the body of a peddler, sewed itself up, and then carried the lanterns to Jintang City to sell.
"Let's stew this chicken to nourish my nephew and niece."
After saying this, the pheasant died.
Shen Xun carried the pheasant out of the tent, and King Hu asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, is this demon...pheasant dead?"
The others pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Shen Xun had to say.
"Well," Shen Xun said nonchalantly, "Let Hui Niang stew it. This kind of pheasant is very nutritious."
Everyone: “…”
She killed all the monsters. They will be obedient in the future. But please give them some tonics!
In the corner, the four members of the Zhong family shuddered together. Old Mrs. Zhong said in a trembling voice, "Son, do we still want to go against her?"
Mr. Zhong didn't say anything, and Zhong Tianci ignored the old lady. The two of them were just shivering.
Old Mrs. Zhong had no choice but to look at Mother Zhong. Mother Zhong swallowed and said, "How about we just forget it?"
Why die when you can live?
Mother Zhong tugged at Father Zhong's clothes and said, "Master, isn't it just that we're missing Aunt Sun to serve us? If we marry Tianci off in the future, won't there be someone to serve him?"
Zhong Tianci's eyes lit up, "Dad, Mom is right."
Mr. Zhong thinks so too.
The family of four became more and more excited as they talked, while the others quietly moved away from them, secretly deciding in their hearts that they must ignore this family.
They are all abnormal!
After some discussion, Shen Xun discovered that the men in black who assassinated them were all from the same group. There were only a few or a dozen people on the other side, but there were more people chasing Qi Yunxi and Shen Yunzheng.
Shen Yunzheng was wrapped up like a dumpling, "Sister, are you sure you didn't offend anyone?"
Qi Yunxi said angrily: "I said you offended people when you were the king of the mountain!"
As a result, when the two of them worked it out, they both offended others.
"But," Qi Yunxi scratched his head, "the person I offended shouldn't be that powerful, right?"
Who has the financial resources to dispatch fifty or sixty secret guards at once?
Shen Yunzheng swallowed his saliva, "It seems that the person I offended has the financial resources."
Shen Xun asked, "Yun Zheng, who have you offended?"
Just as everyone was about to analyze the matter, they heard Shen Yunzheng say, "The richest man in Daxia, the Minister of Personnel, the Magistrate of Mucheng County..."
Everyone: “…”
How can they analyze this?
Everything is possible!
"Forget it," Shen Xun sighed, "Let's not talk about this matter for now. I have something I want to ask Master Su for help."
Su Song looked at her, "What's the matter?"
Assassins and bandits appeared in Jintang City, causing casualties. The county magistrate personally sent the peddler's body back to his home and took care of his wife, children and the elderly.
"Sir," the county governor said to Su Song, "is my arrangement feasible?"
Su Song nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The county magistrate said, "It is my duty. Besides, the money for their resettlement was given by you, sir. How about I tell them the truth?"
Su Song waved his hand. "No need. By the way, you said you know the origins of those men in black?"
The county governor nodded and said, "Sir, those people are from Northern Chu. The Northern Chu people look the same as our Da Xia people. If I hadn't been in frequent contact with them, I wouldn't have been able to tell."
"The people of Northern Chu actually sent assassins to kill you, sir. Should we report this to the Emperor?"
Su Song hesitated for a moment and said, "No need. Their target is not me. Just have someone dispose of the body, and the emperor won't have to worry."
After returning, Su Song told Shen Xun this clue, and now Shen Xun was even more confused.
"If the assassin was sent by Prince Su, I could understand, but Bei Chu..."
Shen Xun couldn't understand, "We have never had any enmity with the people of Northern Chu."
Su Song said calmly, "Who knows if Shen Yunzheng has offended anyone unintentionally?"
Shen Yunzheng, who was recuperating in the tent and acting as a background figure, was unhappy. "What do you mean? Don't put the blame on me!"
Prince Hu interrupted, "I think what Lord Su said makes sense."
Shen Yunzheng: “…”
He threw himself into Chen Xun's arms, crying for comfort.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the tent. Qi Yunxi rushed into the tent and said excitedly, "Mom, we caught Jiang Xinming!"
Shen Xun was stunned, "Who?"
