Chapter 118

Fire Fox raised his eyebrows: "There is no cure for a little red in Fengshan."

Qingwei turned his head and smiled playfully: "I won't look for you if I have the antidote. Since Brother Firefox can't do anything, just pretend I haven't been here and leave."

"Oh, by the way." Qingwei walked to the door and stopped, turned around and said to Situ Chen with a smile: "Eunuch Lu disappeared. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter. It was no coincidence that this unfortunate task fell on the young general.

, Your Majesty, can you give me some help?"

Situ Chen waved his hand helplessly: "Those who are capable work hard. This is the respect my father places on generals."

Qingwei smiled faintly, turned around and left

It wasn't until Qingwei disappeared that Huohu frowned and said, "What is he doing?"

Situ Chen said thoughtfully: "It seems that he wants to exchange with us. What is a little red in Fengshan?"

"A strange poison from the Western Regions. It is colorless and odorless. People who are poisoned will not see any symptoms. They will die within a month. Three days after death, large red spots will appear on the body, which looks like the red leaves of Maple Mountain, so it is named Maple Mountain.

Many people who have been poisoned by Yidianhong will only know what kind of poison they were poisoned after they die."

"Is there really no cure?"

Fire Fox nodded and said slowly: "Using the unique movement method of Black Sand Palm, you can force the poison out."

Situ Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "In that case, why not show him some face? This person is both a friend and an enemy, and maybe he can be used by us."

"It takes a lot of effort to force a little bit of red out of Fengshan. If you don't do it well, both the jade and the stone will be destroyed. It's better to be careful."

Situ Chen's eyes darkened and he immediately said: "Then don't take risks, we will act according to the opportunity."

It is said that Lingfei entered the weapon shop and in just one day he commanded the clerk to build a powerful crossbow that could penetrate the enemy with a hundred steps. The shopkeeper's eyes were straightened when he saw it, and his mouth was watering. He was sure that there was no one in the entire imperial city who could build such a weapon.

, except for the palace, he is the only one with no semicolon

So the shopkeeper looked at Ling Fei and instantly became extremely kind. Although this woman was so ugly that it could give people nightmares and she refused to cover her face for hell, it didn't matter. Now he saw the hair on her face and neck.

The patches of red spots are like seeing pieces of gold

It is the nature of businessmen to be profit-seeking. As long as they can get money, they will even sell their wives and children. What's more, Lingfei doesn't want much, just food and a place to live. Such a good guy can't be found anywhere even with a lantern!

"Girl, these are my wife's clothes. You can make do with them first."

"Girl, I see you are injured. You should rest more and drink some fish soup to replenish your body."

"Girl, it's hot in the early summer, so I made you some sour plum soup to cool down."

"Girl, are you afraid of mosquitoes? Take these orange peels and the mosquitoes will run away if you light them."

Lingfei sincerely lamented that what her teacher said when she was a child was absolutely true. As long as you have the skills, you will never have to worry about starving to death wherever you go. This is a true reflection of her current life.

More than ten days later, Lingfei had taught the craftsmen how to make a powerful crossbow, and began to design a repeating crossbow. It intermittently vomited blood to remind Lingfei that his deadline was approaching, but she did not take it to heart. Her time

I picked it up. If you live one more day, you will take advantage of it.

She originally thought she could spend the rest of her life peacefully in this weapons shop, but while she was enjoying the benefits brought by businessmen's pursuit of profits, she ignored the troubles this feature might cause.

The profit-seeking weapon shop owner was very business-minded and was not content to just wait for business. He took the sample of the crossbow and started door-to-door sales. Moreover, he had very good hands and eyes, and the target of his marketing was none other than Situ Jing, the dignified fourth prince.

Of course, he didn't know that Situ Jing had his own soldiers. He simply wanted to use this prince to sell weapons to the royal generals.

Situ Jing looked at the crossbow in surprise and found someone to try it on. It was no worse than the craftsmen of the royal army... He couldn't help but feel itchy. If he could have his own forger, he wouldn't need it.

I secretly stole the scattered weapons from the palace.

At this point, both the buyer and the seller get what they need, and the deal is about to be concluded.

As luck would have it, the shopkeeper saw the fourth prince thinking deeply and thought that his goods were not enough to satisfy his appetite, so he patted his chest and assured: "The villain is also designing a repeating crossbow that can fire several arrows in a row to ensure four

The prince is satisfied!"

Situ Jing turned his head: "Liannu? When will it be ready?"

"Uh... three days, within three days!" the shopkeeper vowed.

"Okay, it's a deal"

The shopkeeper who had been injected with chicken blood left the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He didn't have time to drink and celebrate, so he returned to the weapon shop and asked Lingfei uneasily: "Girl, how many days will it take for you to make this repeating crossbow?"

"In two or three days..." Lingfei said without raising his head.

The shopkeeper was relieved. It seemed that the cowhide was not broken. This girl was a cornucopia given to him by God. He had to make fish soup for her quickly.

To be honest, Lingfei didn't lie. She originally planned to make the sample within three days, but after being exposed to Fengshan's red, her body became much weaker and she developed a fever the next day.

"Oh my aunt, if you weren't sick earlier or later, why are you sick now?"

Facing the shopkeeper who had no sympathy but only blame, Lingfei smiled lightly, sighed and said: "Don't worry, when I get better, I will design more for you, and I will make sure you make money."

"But I don't have time to wait." The shopkeeper frowned like an iron knot and said confidently: "You said three days yourself! I have already told the Fourth Prince that they will inspect the goods within three days. You are sick at this time

, it will not only ruin the business, but if the fourth prince takes the blame, we might even lose our lives!"

Lingfei took a breath: "What did you say? Fourth Prince Situ Jing?"

"No!" The shopkeeper was very happy that Lingfei finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He even threatened and deceived him by saying, "Girl, it's just a fever. Just hold on. As long as the Fourth Prince is satisfied with what you make, I can't do without you."

For your benefit, we Sanqi, I will give you 30% of the money I earn."

Lingfei gently clenched his fists. What does Situ Jing want these weapons for? The royal army should have a special casting department to make weapons. How could it be the turn of peddlers to get involved? She very doubted what Situ Jing wanted these weapons to be used for.

Lingfei blinked and said to the shopkeeper: "If you want me to make it tomorrow, I won't ask you to give me 30%, but I want a deposit first."

"Deposit?"

"That's right, you give me 50 taels of silver first before I do it, otherwise how would I know if you were trying to trick me?"

"No problem, I'll give you 100 taels in cash."

Lingfei smiled: "Deal"

Her life is indeed not good. She has to move after being stuck in one place for two days. However, it is better to have money in hand than to be penniless. 100 taels of silver should be enough for her to spend until she dies.

Lingfei decided to take action tonight, and the Thirty-six Stratagems were the best.
