My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Bai Shaoqiu sighed.

"It's not that the young master wants to go!"

"Young Master, how comfortable am I living selling books in Xiling City?"

"Originally, I was planning to open up this blacksmith shop. Your skills are so good, they can't be buried."

"Build some weapons and armor for the palace... These are definitely better than the ones from the Armory Department. The prince is not a stingy person, he will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money on them."

"It won't be long before I, Young Master, can become the richest man in Xiling City. Sigh...!"

"But life is often not as it seems... The old emperor has issued an imperial edict, which is being sent to Xiling City. As soon as the edict arrives, young master must leave."

Wang Sanchui pursed his lips: "So urgent?"

"Yes, I have to go back to Baicao Garden. You... have to work hard for a while. You won't have to work hard after the young master leaves."

"Okay, Master, you can't die!"

"I don't want to die either!"

"How about I go with you?"

"You...you stay at home."

"Then... I will make a set of self-defense armor for you, young master!"

Bai Shaoqiu walked out and waved his hand, "That thing is thick and heavy. First, get those life-saving things that the young master needs!"

"it is good!"

Wang Sanchui watched Bai Shaoqiu's back disappear into the night. He was silent for a long time, then turned and walked to the anvil.

The sound of hammering in the blacksmith shop began again.

After a while, a woman came in.

She is Wang Sanchui's wife.

She watched Wang San hammering the iron, and saw the thin piece of iron gradually taking shape under the hammer. Suddenly she was startled:

"Are you going to make another cicada wing armor?"

"Yes, it's for the young master."

“…It will bring you trouble!”

"Young Master's life is more important than mine!"

The woman was silent for a long time. "Then I'll go get some beef tendon to sew it!"

……

……

Baicao Garden.

Zou Kongqing looked at Bai Shaoqiu who hurried into the main courtyard, his expression no longer as relaxed as before.

"knew?"

Bai Shaoqiu nodded: "Got it!"

"There are about twenty days left. During these twenty days, you should stop practicing the Supreme Qi Training Technique."

After thinking for a while, Zou Kongqing did not puncture Bai Shaoqiu's dream of flying, and said:

"Building up internal strength takes a lot of time and requires some luck. What you need now is to master the method of saving your life."

"Time is very tight. I can't accompany you to Kyoto because I'm also going to Dasan Pass, where there's a high possibility of war."

"In the next twenty days or so, I will first teach you how to make and use three kinds of poisons, as well as how to identify and detoxify thirty kinds of poisons."

Bai Shaoqiu pondered for three breaths, "Okay, let's start now!"

"Well, let's start now!"

Zou Kongqing took Bai Shaoqiu into his room on the first floor of the west wing.

The door of that room was closed.

Dongfang Meng and He Xiaofeng stood guard in front of the house like two door gods.

No one can get in.

Even Uncle Fu or Xiao Xi cannot enter.

Even three meals a day were delivered to the house by Dongfang Meng.

During this time, the great scholar Si and the old scholar Qin came, but both were turned away by the two door gods.

Not to mention Qi Shaotong, Zhuo and his group, as well as students like Qiu Shanyue, who were directly blocked by Xiao Xi outside the gate of Baicao Garden.

The pavilion in the backyard of Sanwei Book House.

A lantern lit up.

Shopkeeper Wen closed the shop door and walked to the pavilion in the backyard with a worried look on his face. He looked at Uncle Fu who was smoking, sat down slowly, leaned over, and asked:

"Young Master has been in seclusion for over ten days now. My eyelids have been twitching these days, and I'm feeling quite uneasy... Is there something wrong with Young Master?"

Uncle Fu exhaled a puff of smoke and answered irrelevantly:

"How is the second volume of The Story of the Stone selling?"

"...Excellent! I say, no matter how much money I earn, it's not as important as the young master's safe and sound return!"

After a pause, Shopkeeper Wen frowned and asked again:

"I've heard some rumors these days, saying that the young master's reputation has become extremely famous in Kyoto, and that it has reached the emperor's ears, and that the emperor is about to issue an order to summon the young master to the capital... Is this true?"

Uncle Fu looked up at the shopkeeper Wen and said, "Look at you. The young master used to be ignorant and spent his days in debauchery. And you think the young master is a prodigal son, a pile of useless mud."

"You're beating your chest and stamping your feet, filled with anxiety."

"Now that the young master has turned over a new leaf, he's become Xiling City's most talented scholar, his fame is even resounding in Kyoto. The Sanwei Bookstore he opened is raking in millions of dollars daily... You should be happy for this, but you're also anxious!"

"What kind of person do you think the young master is?"

Manager Wen choked, silently took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco leaves, blew on the lighter to light it, and took a deep breath.

"I hope the young master is a mediocre person... not mediocre, but not as flamboyant as he is now."

Uncle Fu glanced at him and said, "Is this something that the young master can decide on his own?"

"...Yes, fame comes with its weight."

Shopkeeper Wen also looked at Uncle Fu and said, "I'm just worried that he might be in danger if he goes to Kyoto."

Uncle Fu put his pipe into his waist and said, "Young Master is a scholar. The emperor likes literature. What danger can there be for him to go to Kyoto?"

"Besides, you don't know Zou Kongqing. His real strength isn't his ability to cure illnesses and save lives, but his ability to poison people to death!"

"Young Master, you are learning from him... Although the time is short, the more you learn, the more skills you will have. It is always better to have more skills."

Uncle Fu slowly stood up and said, "If the young master really wants to go to Kyoto, I will go with him... I can at least take care of him."

"There are still six chapters left in the manuscript of 'The Story of the Stone'... I will urge the young master to write them when he has free time."

"I'm going out."

"Where?"

"When you get old, go see an old friend."

Uncle Fu turned around and walked away.

Manager Wen sat alone in the pavilion, smoking a cigarette and gazing at the stars in the sky.

Suddenly he smiled and murmured:

"Yes, since the young master's talent is as high as a three-story building, he shouldn't stay in Xiling City for the rest of his life."

"This place, I will guard for you."

"If you've had enough of the scenery outside... or if you're tired of being outside, come back."

"This will always be your home!"

Manager Wen also stood up and walked towards Baicao Garden. When he arrived at the main courtyard, he looked at the west wing. The door was still closed, but the two door gods at the door were a little further away from the door.

I sniffed and found a pungent smell in the air.

He raised his hand to cover his nose, looking at the door with increasing worry—

He didn't understand anything about poison, he was just worried that the young master would be poisoned to death!

Bai Shaoqiu was preparing a poison.

He couldn't smell the pungent smell at all!

He held his breath, and he could hold it for a full hour.

This time was enough for him to prepare the poison in front of him.

He stared at the dark green viscous liquid in the glass container with great concentration. After thinking for a moment, he took another glass container and poured the red liquid in that container into it!

The moment the two liquids mixed, the pungent smell suddenly disappeared.

Disappearing.

After a while, Zou Kongqing took off his mask, sniffed deeply, dipped a finger in the clear liquid, put it in his mouth to taste it, and grinned:

"OK, this is the Nine-Hearted Begonia, one of the four most poisonous creatures in the world!"

"Next, continue to configure the Drunken Fairy Spirit Fu I taught you!"
