Chapter 37 Saltpeter
When Mr. Zhu Qingze, who was anxiously waiting at the door, heard these words, he was stunned.
Wha…what? !!! Lost my soul? !!!
When Zhu Chenye heard this, he looked at the white-haired old man with more suspicion. Is this really a miracle doctor?
Have you lost your soul?
"Dr. He, you should be setting up a stall at the street corner and acting as a fortune teller instead of treating patients."
Zhu Chenye couldn't help but speak.
He Zhixian paused and stopped in front of a young man in a purple-black brocade robe.
The young man has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes like stars. His black hair is tied up high with a headband, exuding a heroic spirit.
Compared to his father's gentle and elegant demeanor, he is a bit tougher.
"Hey, kid, how did you know that I, an old man, would set up a fortune-telling stall at the street corner in my spare time?"
Zhu Chenye’s eyes widened:!!!
“Hahahahahaha!”
He Zhixian laughed out loud, carrying his medicine box and striding away. When he was almost at the gate, he pointed a clear path to Master Zhu Erye, "Master Yuanheng of Foguang Temple has recently returned from his travels."
Although that old bald donkey often talks nonsense, he does have some real skills.
Now that it was confirmed that the girl was not sick but had lost her soul, He Zhixian also sent a message to Wei Xiaozi who was far away in the south.
Because King Cheng's men had been secretly watching him, they had gradually relaxed their watch in the past few days, which gave him the opportunity to deliver the message.
Wei Rong captured the person who came to transport grain, but he didn't expect that the person was a high-ranking official.
"Who are you! Let me go!"
"Do you know who my father-in-law is? How dare you arrest me!"
The man was tied up and thrown into the secret cellar of Tufeng Village, where he was locked up with a group of bandits.
All the people he brought with him were subdued.
Zhou Zhaofeng's gorgeous clothes were in a mess, and the hair crown on his head was pulled off during the struggle.
"Wu Da! What the hell is going on? Tu Feng Village is under control! Do you know how important Tu Feng Village is to my father-in-law?"
"If my father-in-law knew, you would be cut into pieces!"
Wu Da's lips were chapped as he hadn't had a drop of water for two days. Looking at Zhou Zhaofeng who was imprisoned in the cell opposite, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Wu Ke listened to Zhou's insults and spat at him.
"Fool! Now worry about yourself! Don't you understand the current situation? The people in the court have already discovered the grain storage and even got the transaction ledgers!"
"Your father-in-law is still dreaming of becoming emperor? The new emperor is no longer the useless loser you claim him to be! His scheming is far greater than that of you fools!"
Wu Ke cursed angrily, regretting immensely that he had boarded their pirate ship!
I thought I would be able to do something big, be crowned a king, and enjoy wealth and glory. However, I never expected that there would be no wealth and glory. I would just count the days every day, and I would lose my head at any time.
Originally, he and his elder brother were doing hard labor in Lingnan, trying to get rid of their criminal record as soon as possible.
Someone found the two brothers and said that he could take them away and even have the chance to make them kings or dukes. This was simply a pie in the sky for them who were charged with crimes.
In the end, he didn't expect that he would not only not get to eat the pie, but also lose his life.
Zhou Zhaofeng looked at the bandits imprisoned in the dark cell and realized that they often met with their people.
Zhou Zhaofeng was not sure who the other party was.
But when their clothes were stripped off, an idea immediately popped up in Zhou Zhaofeng's mind.
“Oh no!!!”
These people are trying to pretend to be them and transport grain back, to deceive the public!!!
Yun Fu woke up from a nap, feeling refreshed.
I looked out the window and saw that it had gotten dark, and the whole room was pitch black.
There was no sound, it seemed that Wei Rong had not returned yet.
The window was half open, and on the cabinet near the window was a plate of shredded poached chicken. Yun Fu was hungry.
After finishing the meat on the plate, a strange smell suddenly hit my nose.
Yun Fu sniffed hard and jumped out of the window following the smell.
Shen Shi, who was guarding outside the house, saw a furry little thing jumping out and hurriedly stopped it.
"My dear, please don't run around. The young master asked me to watch you. If you're gone when the young master comes back, I'll be skinned alive!"
Yun Fu looked at Shen Shi and knew that this guy also knew about her special ability, so she scratched the ground with her claws.
When Shen Shi leaned over to take a look, he saw a sentence written on the ground.
Is there anyone else coming today?
Shen Shi was surprised that the little guy who had been sleeping soundly in the room actually knew this. It was indeed a cat that could write. It was different!
"There are indeed outsiders, but they have been subdued. Don't worry~"
Shen Shi glanced at the darkening sky and continued, "The young master should be back soon by this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black clothes and with his hair tied up high walked into the yard.
The anger in his eyes, which was originally a bit fierce, disappeared instantly when he saw the warm yellow little guy.
He casually pulled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his own face.
Perhaps because he had been wearing the human skin mask for a long time, his cheeks and forehead were slightly flushed.
When Shen Shi saw his young master coming back, he immediately slipped away.
Yun Fuwen smelled the scent clearly again, followed it, and sniffed around Wei Rong.
It's clearer.
Yun Fu had smelled this scent on the men in black brought by the bandits before.
So, Wei Rong also came into contact with those men in black.
Wei Rong looked at the little guy who was turning around and sniffing the air, thinking that the bloody smell on his body had not been cleaned up and was stinking it.
Just as I was about to take another shower, it bit my trouser leg.
Yun Fu bit Wei Rong's trouser leg, then hooked her claws along his clothes and climbed up.
Seeing this, Wei Rong quickly grabbed it and held it in his arms.
Clingy~
"Meow~" You smell weird.
Yun Fu stretched out her paw and tapped the man's shoulder, then pointed at the house and motioned him to come in.
Wei Rong carried Ah Fu into the house.
The moment she entered the room, Yun Fu immediately jumped out of Wei Rong's arms and lightly leaped onto the table.
He dipped his claws in the water from the teacup on the table and began to write.
You smell like saltpeter
Wei Rong narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the word "saltpeter".
He didn't smell it, perhaps because the smell was too light, but as a cat, Ah Fu's nose was particularly sensitive, so he smelled it.
Saltpeter, the raw material for gunpowder, is not available everywhere.
【Did you meet someone?】
Yun Fu continued writing.
By the way, she also wrote about the time when she was hiding in the bandits' granary and met two masked men in black who also had this smell on them.
Wei Rong looked at Ah Fu who was writing quickly on the table with his claws, and became more and more curious. What kind of person was under the cat's skin?
He can detoxify the venom of the thousand-thread bone snake, open mechanical locks, and now he even knows the raw materials for gunpowder.
After Yun Fu finished writing, she looked up and saw the man staring at her straightly with deep eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Meow!" Look at the table!
Yun Fu patted the table with her paw, signaling the man to restrain himself. She knew that she was beautiful and cute, and loved by everyone, but now they were talking about serious matters, so she still had to know how to restrain herself.
Wei Rong had no intention of hiding it. He could no longer regard Ah Fu as an ordinary cat, so he told him about their plan to steal the show today.
Yun Fu was shocked when she heard Wei Rong and the others' plan.
This means sending the moldy grain back to King Cheng's people.
Treat others the way they have treated you.
The two masked men in black that we met last time were also around King Cheng.
Today, Wei Rong and his men came into contact with people who came to transport grain and they were also King Cheng's men.
The guards on King Cheng's side all smell of saltpeter, so there is a high probability that King Cheng has discovered a saltpeter mine.
There is no need to say much about what saltpeter mines are used for.
Wei Rong also guessed it, so he wrote a note and gave it to Shen Shi, asking him to send the letter to Marquis Wu'an by carrier pigeon.
Marquis Wu'an will know what to do.
After doing all this, Wei Rong saw Ah Fu sitting upright on the table with his chin raised, looking like he was asking for praise.
Wei Rong naturally...satisfied it.
Yun Fu didn't get the praise she wanted, but instead got kissed and rubbed by the man, messing up all the hair on her body.
"Meow!" Cats also have tempers!
Raise your claws and wave them in the air.
Wei Rong held the soft paw and kissed it.
"Well, Claw Claw forgot about kissing, and Ah Fu reminded him."
Yun Fu: ...
I have an urge to speak.
