He reached out and pointed at the fine white crystal on the table in front of him. He did not directly say what it was, but directly gave an order.
"Come here, try what this is and tell me."
"Nothing can be hidden."
"Little... little one, I obey!" Chen Fan was frightened by Wei Yong's power. He tremblingly came to Wei Yong, stretched out his hand and carefully picked up some fine white crystals.
"I hope it's not poison...!"
Chen Fan prayed secretly.
Then he closed his eyes and focused his mind.
He decisively put the unknown white fine crystals in his hand into his mouth and tasted them carefully.
"Um?!"
"It's so salty, a bit like...salt?"
"But why does it taste so pure?"
Chen Fan subconsciously chewed and tasted a few mouthfuls.
Opening his eyes, he couldn't help but reach out again and pick up more fine white crystals for more detailed tasting and identification.
“It turns out it’s really salt!”
"My taste judgment was not wrong, this is a rare and excellent product!"
He opened his eyes again and looked at Da Sikong who was staring at him, his heart instinctively trembled.
He bowed his head quickly and responded respectfully.
"Report to Da Sikong, these things are salt."
"And it is a very high-quality salt. The taste is very pure, without a trace of odor. It is much better than the salt in Fuzhou."
Hear this.
Wei Yong carefully observed the changes in Chen Fan's expression.
It is not only to observe whether he is lying, but also to observe whether he is poisoned.
But after watching for a while, he didn't see anything wrong with Chen Fan. Instead, he admired the salt he just tasted.
"Okay, please step back."
"Please excuse me, little one!"
Chen Fan bowed to Wei Yong and excused himself.
Before turning around and leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the snow-white salt on the wooden table, with hope and expectation in his eyes.
But he quickly lowered his head and closed the door to the room.
Seeing this, Si Yuan opened his mouth to speak again, using words to confuse and test Wei Yong.
"Da Sikong, think about it."
"Considering the king's current old and sick body, if you can offer this thing, you will definitely win the king's favor."
"When the time comes, there will definitely be no shortage of awards."
"And salt is something that everyone in the world cannot do without. Whether it is princes, ministers, princes and princesses, or the traffickers and pawns..."
"As long as Da Sikong has this salt-making method in his hands that can extend life."
"Isn't it the same as controlling the lifeblood of the world?"
Si Yuan looked at Wei Yong.
The bewitchment in the words becomes more and more tempting.
"Think about it, when that time comes, not only this huge country of Wei, but also the two of you and I will have to listen to our words."
"The same is true for all the countries in the Central Plains."
"Because we are the only two who have such a method of making salt, others will not dare to offend us easily, or even kill us."
"At that time, if Da Sikong wants to do anything, wouldn't it be much easier than seizing the military power of Wei Wuzu?"
Hearing Si Yuan's words, Wei Yong subconsciously began to breathe quickly.
His eyes became full of fantasy and greed.
After calming down, he looked at Si Yuan and said in a deep voice: "But in fact, you didn't tell me about this special salt-making method that can prolong life."
"How can you let me trust you?"
"This is simple." Si Yuan smiled slightly, reached out and took out a piece of silk from the inside of his clothes, and signaled to Wei Yong: "This silk has a complete salt-making method recorded on it."
"To show the sincere cooperation between the lower official and Da Sikong."
While speaking.
Si Yuan held both sides of the silk with both hands and evenly divided it into two halves with invisible force.
He pushed half of it to the wooden table in front of Wei Yong and whispered: "Da Sikong masters half of the salt-making methods, and the other half of the salt-making methods..."
"Then it will be under the control of the lower officials."
Si Yuan put away the other half of the silk and put it into his pocket.
Then stood up.
He clasped his hands in fists, saluted Wei Yong, and said: "The night is already dark, so I will retire now. I hope that Da Sikong will not forget the appointment tomorrow."
Then he turned around and left here.
First place.
Wei Yong looked at Si Yuan's leaving figure, then looked down at the salt-making method that was only half in his hand, and the look in his eyes gradually became sinister and decisive.
"Go, follow him and kill him."
"Then bring the other half of the things back to Da Sikong."
Soon, waves of imperceptible breezes sounded in the darkness and quickly drifted away.
After a moment of silence.
Wei Yong put away the silk in his hand, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the snow-white salt on the wooden table.
The eyes are greedy and deep.
"This method of making salt can only be mastered by me alone. It is the safest way."
"You should also go out and remember to get rid of those people just now."
"They know too much..."
Secret, deep corners and shadows.
A ghost-like figure disappeared quietly without any sound.
…
…
On a deserted broad street.
Si Yuan's expression was calm, his steps were neither slow nor hasty, and he walked forward, looking like he was returning to his mansion.
But they seemed to be walking towards a deserted place in the same direction.
"Sure enough, this old guy Wei Yong is still the Wei Yong in my memory. He is capricious, cunning, and rarely speaks the truth."
"After a little probing, I found out what kind of intention he had in cooperating."
"Thankfully, my mind can monitor remotely."
He kept thinking in his mind and gradually moved away from the places where people lived.
Walking towards the dark distance.
"It's better to get rid of the secret guards around him first, and then have a chance to deal with him himself."
"Otherwise, if someone disturbs me, I won't be able to successfully and secretly frame him for the Luo Sheng organization after killing Wei Yong."
"The achievement of the hundred-refined shield will give you a surprise, hehehe..."
…
…
He waited until Si Yuan walked to a narrow, uninhabited alley.
Those who had followed secretly could no longer hold back and quickly jumped out one by one. Some blocked the way forward, while others blocked the way back.
Even the walls on both sides and the top of the house were blocked by more than one person.
Prevent Si Yuan from escaping from these directions.
"Go together……!"
The leader shouted lowly, and everyone drew their swords.
Almost at the same moment.
Si Yuan, who was blocked in the center of the alleyway, was besieged and strangled from all directions. In an instant, a series of dense metal collisions exploded in the alleyway.
Accompanied by a bright but brief flash of Mars.
Everyone present saw that the sharp and cold sword in their hands had only cut the noble clothes Si Yuan was wearing.
The sword blade scratched the skin, but it didn't leave even a scratch.
"My external skills have become great, aren't you surprised?"
Si Yuan lowered his head slightly and looked down at the thin man who was trying to stab him through the heart.
Show a kind smile that is harmless to humans and animals.
