Chapter 740 Eating the Wrong Food

When Zong Xin was learning from the Persian businessman, a large group of people around him watched.After seeing Zong Xin's words, he understood it, but everyone didn't understand it very well, so it's all right so soon?But Zong Xin had sent someone to see him off, and even gave a reward to the Persian businessman, and Zong Xin's expression was suddenly enlightened...so everyone can be sure that Zong Xin really understood.

Yaoyao asked with a look of surprise: "Master, have you learned how to make that crystal-clear wine?"

"Yes, I can understand in a few words. But I can't understand Persian, and the Persian can't understand Chinese, so I spend most of the time chatting with two translators." Zong Xin needs two interpreters to talk to the Persian. There are two translators, one translates Zongxin's Chinese into Hui language, and the other translates Hui language into Persian. Although Zongxin and the Persian are talking, there are two people in the middle, and the chat is more troublesome. .

"Just for these few words, a large group of people stayed with you in the Western Regions for nearly a year? It was hard work and hard work, just for these few words?" Yaoyao looked at Zong Xin in disbelief. I thought Zong Xin needed to study for several days, or even several months.If this is the case, other people will recognize it, because learning a new technology is really complicated, but it can be understood in a few words, and everyone doesn't quite understand it.

Zong Xin sighed: "Knowledge is power. Don't underestimate these few sentences. How many years and how many people's efforts will it take to summarize these few sentences? Now we know why Master Xuanzang had to travel hundreds of thousands of miles and spend a total of It took 19 years to go to the West to learn scriptures? Is there no scripture in the Central Plains? A little bit of knowledge is a huge power, just like the Salt Island. Just a little bit of knowledge, water can evaporate automatically, but it made me the richest man in the Central Plains. Could it be that you Don't you understand the importance of knowledge?"

Zong Xin's explanation convinced everyone, but this result was still unacceptable.Why do you need to spend so much effort on something that can be understood in a few words?
Tian Ya nodded and said: "Master, I can completely understand. And I also understand what you said just now. If we two master and apprentice are allowed to study it by ourselves, even if we have this idea, we will have to study it for several years to distill alcohol. And cooling is also a big problem. If it wasn’t for the Persian businessman’s suggestion, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to figure it out. I guess our solution is to lengthen the pipes and let the steam condense naturally in the pipes. But doing so will cause Most of the steam escapes in the form of high temperature, so ... I think this line is very necessary and makes sense."

"Don't flatter me, but this is a brand new technology for Zhongyuan. Let's go back to Zhongyuan to test it as soon as possible. I estimate that it will take a long time to make the entire distillation system."

Tian Ya nodded and said, "Master, I will do my best to help."

"Sorry, you're useless anyway."

"That's true."

After Zong Xin learned how to distill shochu, he still lived in Jing Qiong's residence for a few days.Gongsun Ao quarreled with Zong Xin all day long, and when he was tired of losing, he vented his anger on You Yun Shibaqi.This is the happiest time for Gongsun Ao. The disciples of the Central Plains masters are all here. Dugu Xingyue's swordsmanship and Yaoyao's claw skills are also very powerful, and he also learned Baiyu's swordsmanship and palm skills. Martial arts are also extremely high, not inferior to the other two women.

Gongsun Ao's martial arts is very good, because he has a lot of accomplishments in speaking, Gongsun Ao is different from ordinary Uighurs, he also knows how to use zhenqi.It's just that he is not proficient in using it, but his combat effectiveness is also extremely high, almost a tough combat system, and every slash carries extremely strong internal force, and it is impossible for people without a little cultivation to take his slash.

During this time, Youyun Eighteen Riders were also preparing to leave. After all the manpower, chariots and horses were ready, Zong Xin and his party bid farewell to Jing Qiong and Gongsun Ao, and left Tingzhou to return to the Central Plains.

This journey took another three full months, and Zong Xin and his party returned to Toyosu three months later.Fengzhou City Lord Feng Hui welcomed him with great enthusiasm. This time Zongxin brought many Uighur specialty products, the most precious of which was naturally orangutan velvet.Zongxin gave Feng Hui six feet of orangutan down for free to make his bed, and Feng Hui smiled from ear to ear.Orangutan velvet is extremely rare. It is hard to find even an inch, let alone six feet, and even if you have money, you can't buy it.

However, it was Feng Hui who got the news that Zong Xin and his party had to leave quickly. Guo Wei was seriously ill, and many people said that he would not be able to pass this test.It's only been two years since Guo Wei ascended the throne, and less than three years. Everyone knows that Guo Wei won't die for the time being, because his cultivation is extremely high and he can last for a while.

But because Guo Wei was seriously ill, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty also began to be a little presumptuous. The original reason for the peace was that Guo Wei was seriously ill.Even if he couldn't swallow Da Zhou, he still had to take advantage of Guo Wei's serious illness to get some benefits from him.

Zong Xin went to Bianliang, Kaifeng first, then asked Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue to escort the goods to Chang'an, and then returned directly to King Lei's Mansion.After the things are delivered, we will meet in Bianliang, Kaifeng.

This time, Zong Xin only brought a few people with him, Ning An, Bai Yu and Tian Ya.The old one, the second, the third and the fourth are in charge of serving along the way, and the others are all escorting the treasures.

After returning to the Central Plains, no one dared to touch Zongxin's things.So he was very relieved, but the amount of property was huge, so Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue stayed behind as escorts.But as long as you see Youyun Shibaqi sitting wolf by his side, none of the bandits and robbers would dare to attack these things. very famous.

In fact, Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Zong Xin.Because the two of them have to be added together to deal with Zhao Kuangyin.Zhao Kuangyin knew how much Zongxin's goods were worth. If the grandson was not greedy enough, there must be someone who could deal with him.If Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue were together, Zhao Kuangyin would never dare to make a move unless he had already learned the complete Sifang Tathagata magic skill.

Zong Xin and his group of wolves rushed directly to Kaifeng without stopping their claws. Without the constraints of the team, the wolves could run wildly and rushed back to Kaifeng Bianliang City in less than half a month.

After a group of people came to the palace, they didn't need to ask for instructions and ran directly into the palace on the back of a wolf. Naturally, the palace guards would not stop them, because this group of people had the biggest contributors besides Da Zhou's orthodox heir Tianya and Princess Ning'an. Consort Zongxin, who would dare to stop this kind of team?Go straight to inform others that Master Zong Xin is back, and this time His Majesty is saved.

Zong Xin and his party got off the wolf directly at the door of Guo Wei's bedroom, and then pushed them away and entered, because none of them were outsiders.

Just as he pushed open the door of the bedroom, he suddenly slashed at him with a palm.Zong Xin didn't dodge it, he still walked forward, and slapped Zong Xin's forehead directly with his palm, but the powerful body-protecting zhenqi kept Zong Xin, and directly bounced people away.

"Master Zongxin? What happened to me just now? Did I hit you again?" Chai Rong looked confused, because he had already suffered from this disease, and whenever he saw a bald head, he would have the urge to kill, which was out of control.So the first thing he did when he saw Zong Xin was slap him in the face.However, there was a huge difference in their fighting prowess. If Zong Xin fought back, Chai Rong would not be able to withstand even one move.

"Master Zong Xin? Xin'er, Ning An, you are finally back. Come and see your father, if you are later, I'm afraid you will never see him again." Yang Shu has been sitting by Guo Wei's bed. , She only came out when she saw some movement, but she saw the few people who made her the happiest.Yang Shu burst into tears with excitement, and she was accompanied by a young and beautiful girl. Everyone knew that she was Guo Wei's only concubine, Concubine Dong Gui.

Guo Wei was lying on the bed weakly, he had lost a lot of weight, he was breathing but not breathing in, his eyes seemed to be open or not, it seemed that he was really seriously ill, and he didn't know how long he could live.

"Father~!"

"Father~!"

Ning An and Tian Ya immediately knelt in front of Guo Wei's bed. Guo Wei was seriously ill and they couldn't go to the bed to filial piety. They followed Zong Xin to the Western Regions, which was also the reason for their guilt.But when they left, Guo Wei was as strong as a cow, and for some reason he suddenly became seriously ill.

Zong Xin walked to Guo Wei's bed in a few steps, and then stretched out his hand to feel his pulse... After a long silence, Zong Xin said, "You all should know that my medical skills are not good, and I really can't find out. Your Majesty, father-in-law, what's wrong with you? Poisoned or injured?"

Guo Wei barely opened his eyes, and said softly: "I ate the wrong thing."

"What kind of food can you eat like this? With your skill, you'll be fine even if you take poison every now and then." Zong Xin was also very surprised. What did Guo Wei eat wrong?

Guo Wei pointed to Concubine Dong and said, "Say it."

"Master Zongxin is like this. His Majesty saw that I was taking it with pearl powder on my face, so His Majesty thought that he should also spend some money. It happened that there was a diamond in the room, so His Majesty crushed the diamond and took it. Your Majesty also said that diamonds are absolutely It is non-toxic, because he used this method to steal when he was young. He just swallowed the diamonds in the counter and pulled them out the next day. After testing by the imperial physician, it is poisonous to eat diamonds after being ground into powder. Many death row prisoners His symptoms are the same as His Majesty's, and he would vomit blood from time to time. Because His Majesty has a high level of cultivation, he has persisted until now, but the imperial physician has not yet found a cure."

Zong Xin took a deep breath and said: "You are full, right? Why do you eat diamond powder when you have nothing to do? Your Majesty, you have been poor all your life. If the people of the world know that you have been poor since you were a child, and you died of eating diamond powder after becoming emperor, then what will happen?" Don't make you laugh out loud? This is a matter that will last forever."

Yang Shu said embarrassingly: "So this matter is kept secret, we just announced that His Majesty is seriously ill, we didn't say what kind of illness. Master Zong Xin, I know you despise this kind of person, even I despise him, but After all, he is your biological father-in-law and my biological husband-in-law, so it would be a pity to die. I know that you have rejuvenated, so can it be cured?"
