There will never be a fourth person in this world who knows.
This night's secret conversation ended very, very late.
When he came to Li Zhen's room, Lin Guofu had a puzzled expression on his face. This middle-aged man was a bit honest.
After walking out of Li Zhen's room, the expression on Lin Guofu's face was a little uneasy, but more nervous and exciting. The man who is nearly middle-aged has a somewhat sinister temperament.
Qi Lengzi had the keenest sense, and he felt the changes in Lin Guofu. I was very confused as to what Li Zhen and Lin Guofu were secretly talking about in the room. But Qi Lengzi has changed a lot in recent years, and his mind has become brighter. He didn't ask and kept tight-lipped.
…
A week later, a letter sent from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences arrived at the temporary address of Prince Xun Shifei in Southeast Prefecture.
"Prince, there is a letter."
Xun Shifei raised his eyebrows and returned to the room with the letter. After opening it, there was only one word written on it - Yes.
"Hehehehe."
The brows that had been frozen for a long time relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on this face.
Xun Shifei breathed a sigh of relief and lay lazily in the rocking chair: "Yes? Let's start quickly. I can't wait."
“…”
At night, Xun Shifei went out and communicated with local officials as usual.
After arriving at the banquet, Xun Shifei's face darkened because an official wearing a palace robe appeared.
This man's surname is Qin. I'm not interested in knowing his name. He came here last month.
People sent by the emperor, the purpose of this trip is: the prince is running around, life will be unaccustomed. Special commissioners came to serve and serve.
The purpose is self-evident.
Xun Shifei's actions of traveling all over the country could not be hidden from others, but not Du Taiping. This is a huge hidden danger for the imperial party, and all the support of Prince Xun Shifei must be eradicated. Prevent Xun Shifei from making friends with grassroots officials and princes from various places.
"Hahaha, the prince is here. Come on, please take a seat."
The local officials greeted us with smiles and enthusiasm. Recently, the reputation of the prince has gradually spread far and wide. Everyone knows that Xun Shifei is approachable, goes deep into the grassroots, and is willing to make friends with the prince. He even wishes to make friends with the prince.
Xun Shifei took his seat and looked deeply at the Qin officials at the table. There was deep fear in my heart, and I wanted to kill him, but this man was sent by the emperor and could not be moved.
During the banquet, cups were pushed and cups were changed, and the prince chatted happily with everyone. He has recently honed his skills at the drinking table, knows how to make friends, and knows who can help him in the future.
While chatting happily. There was a "bang", and the whole place was silent, but official Qin kicked over the wine table and stood up with a livid face.
Everyone was a little confused.
But I heard the Qin official pointing at the official's nose and saying: "How brave. How dare you discuss friendship with the noble prince? Who are you? What the hell are you?"
When the official heard this, his hand that was about to clink glasses with the prince trembled, and his face was full of panic.
The Qin official sneered: "You are so brave, don't you kneel down and kowtow to the prince immediately? The prince is your ancestor, and you don't even consider your identity. You still want to talk? Kneel down!"
The official yelled: "This... I..."
Putting down the wine glass, he quickly knelt on the ground: "The prince calms down his anger, and the prince atones for his sins. It's the fault of the lower official, the lower official... The lower official is too self-righteous."
Xun Shifei's face was livid, he smiled and helped him up: "Ignore him."
"Prince! As a noble dragon and phoenix, how can you touch this lowly person with your hands? You will inherit the world in the future, so don't stain your hands."
"That's enough! Are you done yet?" Xun Shifei was furious.
Everyone in the audience lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed. They suddenly realized that, yes, they were lowly people, and in the future they were the nobles who would inherit the world's nine states. Are you qualified to sit at the table with him
"Prince, you have to respect yourself!"
Qin Guanren said and sneered again: "Ah, I understand. Do you want to climb a high branch? Haha, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, do you just want to stand in line and be promoted in the future? What a calculation. Confuse the young man My prince, you have such deep calculations."
The official immediately turned pale: "No, no, I didn't..."
Xun Shifei clenched his fists and looked at the Qin officer. Then he scanned the whole place, only to see everyone looking at him with their eyes dodgey. I sighed sadly in my heart, I am afraid that all the reputation I have accumulated during this period has been wasted.
The official of Qin added: "I would like to investigate carefully and see how many people have made friends with the prince in advance. Don't you take today's emperor seriously? Before today's emperor abdicates, you are all so bold. Haha, yes, Let’s settle accounts after the fall.”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they all knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
Xun Shifei was furious, but he couldn't beat him or scold him. Leave with a puff of sleeves.
His face was ashen.
The arrival of this Qin official had an obvious purpose, which was to prevent the prince from accumulating reputation among the people. The prince's departure from the capital was the perfect situation for Du Taiping's sophisticated calculations. He had already seen through the prince's strategy and wanted to follow the mass line. it's out of the question. Du Taiping had been prepared for this step for a long time.
When the Eighth Prince was asked to persuade him through Jiali, the Emperor immediately became wary of him. This Qin official was sent with the specific purpose of demolishing Xun Shifei.
Lying on the bed, he was so angry that he wanted to cut Qin Guanren into pieces, but he just held back: "Old man, old man, you are forcing me."
“…”
Eight Dragon City, deep palace.
Jiali finished playing another new song "The Son of Heaven", Xun Jiayuan's face was full of yearning when he heard it, and he fell into deep fantasy when he looked at the starry sky.
A smile flashed in Jiali's eyes: "Is the emperor satisfied with my slave's talent?"
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. Hahahaha."
Jiali sighed: "Oh, but I don't know how long it can last..."
"How long does what last?"
"I wonder how long Jiali can serve the emperor."
"What is this nonsense?"
As he spoke, Jia Li began to cry movingly: "Right now, there are rumors among the people that the prince is flourishing in all parts of Kyushu, and rumors are spreading that there is about to be a change of dynasty... When the prince succeeds to the throne, the fate of the slaves will be miserable, right? ?”
Emperor Xun was stunned at first, and then became furious: "I am about to abdicate? Who is spreading rumors? What are these words? Who said that I am about to abdicate? The doctor said that I am in good health, where are the absurd words?"
"There are rumors among the people that the prince can't wait anymore... I have made friends with grassroots officials all over the Kyushu, and the dynasty is about to change. People say that the emperor's health is not good anymore, and the prince can succeed to the throne in only one year at most."
A cold light flashed in Emperor Xun's eyes: "Please tell me the rumors among the people."
“…”
That night, Laoshan.
Li Zhen lay in a rocking chair in a daze, playing with a heavy iron plate in his hand. The iron plate is engraved with dense writings, which were carved by ancient researchers. The fonts are all from 10,000 years ago, and are somewhat different from the characters in Kyushu today.
After a while, Lin Guofu walked in: "Master Li."
Li Zhen nodded and threw the iron plate to him: "Make it older."
Lin Guofu frowned: "This... how to make it look old?"
Li Zhen closed his eyes and murmured: "Did you learn chemistry in vain?"
"...I can't remember it for the moment." Lin Guofu said awkwardly.
Li Zhen said as if dreaming: "Iron can be corroded and rusted quickly after being soaked in hydrochloric acid and in contact with carbon dioxide."
"hydrochloric acid?"
"There are three ways to make iron corrode and rust. Keep it moist. Rinse with salt water. The third is to use hydrochloric acid to corrode quickly. Haven't I taught you? Go ahead and make it rust like an antique ten thousand years ago. .”
"good."
"etc."
"Um?"
"After taking it out of the hydrochloric acid, sew it into the animal carcass, bury it in the ground, and take it out after a while. It will look more like an antique. The only requirement is that I let you keep all the writing on it Clear.”
"Don't worry, Master Li."
Lin Guofu said confidently that he was not sure how to make the iron rust quickly, but he had learned to make the iron old. He asked with some confusion: "Master Li, this... can really kill people?"
Li Zhen chuckled: "I have seen other people kill snakes before. A tube with a blade inside is placed in front of the snake, and the other end of the tube is lured with food. If the snake wants to eat, it has to get through the tube with the blade. It would disembowel itself and commit suicide. It knew it might be a trap, but it couldn't get out after it got in."
Lin Guofu felt a chill in his heart. Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but feel his hair standing on end. The person who killed the snake didn't do anything and let the snake commit suicide
Compared with Master Li, I am still a bit young. No, no, you still have to work hard to learn chemistry. This is simply a vast ocean of knowledge...
“…”
There is a saying that the maximum cost is 10. If a person who is strong in martial arts wants to kill someone, the cost he pays is 8. If a person who is proficient in physics wants to kill someone, the cost he pays is 4-6. And if a person who is proficient in chemistry wants to kill someone, the cost he pays is 3-5.
Someone who is good at chemistry, and also good at psychology, wants to kill people. There is no cost. At most 1…
