Chapter 44 The Law of Murder

"This dish is called braised mutton! The male goat is slaughtered and skinned, and the internal organs, head and hoofs are removed. Then the remaining hair and blood stains on the mutton are scraped and cleaned. Then the mutton is chopped into small cubes and the blood is drained.

Put it into a pot of boiling water... The mutton made by this method is crispy in taste, fat but not greasy. It is a top-notch nourishing product for appetizing and fitness, uprightness, dispelling evil, replenishing yang, and suitable for blood and qi."

Princess Xinyi picked up a piece of braised mutton and put it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she quickly took a few bites. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I will definitely practice more and learn how to do this."

When Wang Jun came to see Princess Xinyi swallowing her saliva over the braised mutton, she secretly smiled, thinking that after all, she was only a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if she had experienced a perverted royal education since childhood, she was still at the age of gluttony and playfulness.

Thinking like this, Wang Junlin said: "Princess, you will eat slowly later, and I will let Your Highness try this delicacy!"

Wang Junlin waved his hand, and Xiaoxue brought up a small copper basin and small stove. The fire was burning brightly in the small stove. Rongyue brought up a copper pot and placed it on the small stove. There was a pot of water boiling in the copper pot.

, there are three slices of green onion and four or five pieces of ginger floating in it. In this era, there is no other soup required for mutton-shabu-shabu.

Wang Junlin took out a knife, picked up a large piece of delicious mutton brought by Xiaoxue, and said: "This dish requires the mutton to be cut as thin as silk, so that light can shine through the meat slices."

While talking, Wang Junlin pressed the piece of meat with one hand and cut it quickly with the other hand. After a while, a plate of thin mutton slices was cut out.

Then Wang Junlin dug out some green onion flowers from a small bowl and said to Princess Xinyi: "The original flavor of mutton is very fresh. If you want it to be delicious, it needs to be blended with five flavors. The most important ones are wild green onion flowers and minced ginger. They are the most delicious food in the wilderness of the Western Regions."

There are wild onions in it, and if you add salt and soybean oil, you can eat it. If you can find other spices, you can try to mix them in."

While Wang Junlin was talking, he picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and rinsed it back and forth in the boiling water pot for a few times. Seeing that the mutton had changed color, he dipped the meat piece in the prepared sauce bowl, and then under the witness of Princess Xinyi

, fed it into his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Princess Xinyi was already so greedy after Wang Junlin's demonstration. She imitated Wang Junlin's actions and tried to eat a piece of mutton, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with joy.

"I once heard someone say that if you want to catch a man, you must catch his stomach. But when the Turks have eaten such delicious food, once they eat it once, they will definitely want to eat it a second time, and even continue to eat it.

Eat it. If the princess doesn’t want to be insulted by Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, as long as he likes the food cooked by the princess, he will not hurt you easily."

Princess Xinyi looked at Wang Junlin blankly, with a grateful look on her face, and a trace of tenderness in her eyes. She bowed slightly to Wang Junlin and said: "General Wang's good intentions, I will remember them. There are still four days left before we leave the platform.

Cheng, I can learn these mutton recipes."

Next to him, He Shanggong sighed inwardly and pretended not to see the tenderness in Princess Xinyi's eyes when she looked at Wang Jun.

Wang Junlin was a little overwhelmed, mainly because Princess Xinyi's status was too special, so he quickly said: "As a low-ranking official with few soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to help the princess. I only hope that these humble skills can help the princess."

Princess Xinyi hesitated for a moment and waved the others out of the house. He Shanggong felt that it was inappropriate for Wang Junlin to be alone with the princess in the same room and wanted to dissuade him. The princess glanced at her and He Shangjun stopped saying anything and sighed.

After taking a breath, he led the maids out and Wang Junlin also asked Rongyue and Xiaoxue to go back to the house first.

After everyone had gone out, Princess Xinyi said: "Since the general has taught me how to protect myself, can you give me a way to attack?"

Wang Junlin was shocked and said: "What kind of attack method does the princess want?"

Princess Xinyi still gritted her teeth and said: "General Wang is best at attacking."

Wang Junlin gave a wry smile and said: "Princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. A fairy from heaven descends to earth. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to learn how to use poison."

Princess Xinyi suddenly knelt at the feet of Wang Junlin and cried: "I am in a land of tigers and wolves, and my Sui Dynasty will start a war with the Western Turks at any time. If I don't learn these methods, I will die at any time. Please give me a way to save my life, general."

.”

"How many tigers and wolves can you kill if you learn how to use poison? It won't change anything." Wang Junlin did not pull Princess Xinyi, but just stayed away, because if he stretched out his hand to pull, there would be inevitable physical contact, which is even more inappropriate.

.

Princess Xinyi looked aggrieved and said, "I don't care, I have to learn."

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was the nature of a girl, and said: "Princess, get up first, and I will teach you."

Princess Xinyi burst into tears and laughed, and stood up quickly. Wang Junlin saw it and was so amazed that he couldn't help but stare at it for a few more times. Princess Xinyi suddenly looked shy and lowered her head.

Wang Junlin sighed and said: "I heard that there are nobles in the Western Regions who like to use lead to make wine vessels and wine glasses for drinking and having fun. As far as I know, the lead is poisonous. If the princess wants someone to die, she might as well let her die.

This person often uses lead utensils to drink and eat. If this person drinks and eats with lead utensils every day, he will definitely die for up to a year. Moreover, with the stupidity of the Turks, they will only think that it is death from illness. This method is killing people.

Invisible method.”

Princess Xinyi looked solemn and nodded, she had firmly remembered it.

"Although this method is wonderful, it lasts too long. Please give me a quick killing method, or ask the general to give me some powerful poison." Princess Xinyi hesitated and asked again.

Wang Junlin was speechless for a while, thinking that his reputation as a poisonous general was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone thought that he was a master of poison, and most of them thought that his whole body was full of poison.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin said: "Princess, have you ever heard of the medicine that leads to seduction?"

When Princess Xinyi heard this, her body suddenly trembled, her eyes brightened, and she said: "Of course I have heard that since the Han Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties have given death to ministers and nobles in the harem, and it has always been a poison."

The main ingredient of the medicine that leads to the machine is the traditional Chinese medicine Nux vomica. This was an absolute secret recipe in ancient times, but for Wang Junlin, a poison master in later generations, it is just common sense. Not to mention their circle of mercenaries and killers, even if

Many ordinary people with a little more knowledge know what nux vomica is.

Strychnos vomica is actually a poison that has been secretly passed down by the royal families of the past dynasties. It is a neurotoxin. Once poisoned, a person's hands and feet will twitch, the head will automatically droop, and finally the hands, feet, and head will be hunched together, and death will be extremely miserable.

Wang Junlin told Princess Xinyi that the secret recipe for the poison was Nux vomica, and then explained that Nux vomica could be easily found in the Western Regions, and then left Duyuan, the inn where Princess Xinyi was.





In the past few days, Wang Junlin made steel crossbows during the day, and at night he studied the mysterious skills on the animal skin scroll according to the exercise diagram given by the old Taoist. He was worried that the old Taoist would harm himself. Although he had figured out how to practice, he had been unable to

I dare not start practicing.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, Wang Junlin's steel crossbow was finally finished.

This steel crossbow was made by Wang Junlin based on the crossbow of death, a famous murder weapon in the mercenary world in later generations. It is the same size as the crossbow of death. It is extremely small and weighs less than two kilograms. It is only one foot wide, plus the crossbow arrows.

The chute is only one foot long. It can be hidden in your arms or even in your wide sleeves.

As for the crossbow arrows used in the steel crossbow, Wang Junlin personally forged twenty tailless iron spikes.

In the backyard, in the small martial arts training ground, Wang Junlin loaded the iron spur into the chute of the steel crossbow, and pulled the trigger against the big tree four feet away.

Amidst the buzzing sound, the sound of steel vibrating just sounded, and a dark iron thorn appeared on the tree trunk.

Wang Junlin took a closer look and saw that the wood was as deep as four inches.

Wang Junlin didn't have anyone else in the process of making this steel crossbow, and he didn't even ask Wu San and Wu Si to help. This was the secret trump card Wang Junlin prepared for himself.

Wang Junlin easily held the steel crossbow with one hand, knocked the crossbow arm with his right hand, and said to himself with some regret: "If there is soft steel, I can make a steel crossbow with 50% of the strength and speed of the death crossbow of later generations.

, but it’s a pity that there are no suitable materials. Mild steel cannot be made, so hard steel made from refined iron can only be used. The bowstring is not good, and the best beef tendon is still somewhat elastic, so that it cannot exert its maximum power.”





After Wang Junlin finished building the steel crossbow, he went to the post house that night to meet Chang Sun Sheng.

In the past few days, Wang Junlin was not just making steel crossbows. Through talking with Changsun and his son three times a day, he already knew the real purpose of the Sui Emperor sending him and Changsun Sheng on an envoy to the Western Turks - to try every means to

Let the Western Turks fall apart.

Regarding the role he might play in this purpose, Wang Junlin has been thinking about and planning what he should do in the past few days.

In the living room of the post house, Chang Sun Sheng said: "At the moment, it seems that Tongyehu Khan and Naboduo Dharma King took the initiative to marry me, the Great Sui Dynasty, and asked your Majesty to confer them as Great Khans. There may be two purposes. One is to unify Yehu.

There must be some dissatisfied people within the Western Turks because King Huhebodo is not in the right position. They want to use the external power of the Sui Dynasty to put pressure on these people. Secondly, they can also paralyze the Sui Dynasty to prevent us from sending troops at this time to make them internal and external.

It’s difficult to balance both.”

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "What Lord Changsun said is absolutely true, and the last general also thinks so."

Although he said this, Wang Junlin still remembered the secret transaction between Boduo Dharma King and Dugu Moyu that he overheard in the Longxi City Prefect's Mansion, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Maybe Boduo Dharma King has a third purpose.

But it should be related to the secret deal between the two of them."

Changsun Sheng looked at Wang Junlin and said: "General Wang is on a mission to the Turks. Can you have a specific plan for the tasks that His Majesty has asked us to complete? Tell me and let me know the details."
