178 The Heart(1/2)
Zhang Rongfang recognized these two children.
Before he disguised his identity and joined the caravan, he had met Feng Keqin, the steward who led the caravan, and these two boys.
According to him, these two are the eldest son and eldest daughter of the caravan master's family. This time they go out together to escort goods to Dadu, which is their first experience.
Zhang Rongfang picked up a chopstick of garlic sprouts again and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, his right leg moved slightly, and in an instant he stepped on a small black snake that was heading towards him.
After a soft sound, the entire head of the little black snake was crushed, leaving only its tail that struggled for a few times and slowly stopped moving.
"Hey! There's another one here!" the guest at the next table shouted.
Soon, everyone around noticed the black snake that Zhang Rongfang had crushed to death under his feet.
"Brother Zhang is very skilled! He has practiced legging, right?" Old Chen, the leader of the guard, gave Zhang Rong a thumbs up.
"No, no, I just practiced a little bit of cropping techniques." Zhang Rongfang cupped his hands.
His current identity is that of an ordinary warrior who plans to go to Dadu to gain experience.
Because of the financial difficulties of his family, he had to leave his hometown and try to make a career outside.
There are actually many such identities.
Many warriors wander around without a fixed residence, almost all of them have this status.
After saying a few polite words, everyone carefully checked the ground to make sure there were no venomous snakes, and then continued to sit down and eat.
After Zhang Rongfang dealt with it, he sat down and went to look at the two young ladies of the Feng family. No one was there anymore.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Caravans will never rest in the wild at night unless absolutely necessary.
Some who were willing to spend money opened rooms in the inn.
If you are reluctant, you can build a shed on the fence outside the inn to protect yourself from the wind, and borrow a fire general for the night.
Zhang Rongfang went up to the second floor and entered the room he had opened.
He ordered the waiter to boil a bucket of water for a bath, and then he started to practice his literary skills with his legs crossed.
This time, he applied through the Mingjing Palace in Tan Yang and went directly to Tianbao Palace in Zongtan for further study.
This completely avoids the system of the Golden Wing Tower.
The purpose is to not attract attention and act as low-key as possible.
There has been no reply from Tiannu. Although the main building is still there and the rest of the spirit classes are still there, the situation is a little unfavorable.
He planned to change his perspective and go to Dadu to slowly investigate the situation.
It just so happened that he didn't have a Taoist title yet, so it was appropriate behavior for him to go to Tianbao Palace to worship a guru and receive ordination.
Many Taoists do this. When they are still young and strong, they go to the ancestral court, firstly to further their studies, but maybe they can find an opportunity to get into the eyes of the big shots in the ancestral court and reach the sky in one step.
You must know that in Daling, the unity of temples and schools is not a lie.
The top leaders of Taoism and Buddhism also control a lot of actual power of the Great Spirit.
Even the academies and schools once controlled by Confucianism came under the jurisdiction of Taoism and Buddhism.
Jixianyuan, which manages Daling Religion, also manages the academic assessment of the entire empire.
That is to formulate rules, how to assess talents from various colleges, academies, palaces, how to recommend talents as officials, etc.
These are all controlled by Jixianyuan.
This kind of power is rare in the world.
Therefore, there are not a few people like Zhang Rongfang who go to Tianbao Palace to study after achieving something.
Just when he was waiting for practice with peace of mind.
In the back kitchen of the inn.
Two small figures quietly approached the open space where the water was boiling.
Under the moonlight, the faces of these two people were illuminated.
Surprisingly, they were the two twins from the Feng family.
The boy's name was Feng Xin, and the girl's name was Feng Lu. At this time, the two of them looked at the cauldron that was boiling water, with fire in their eyes.
"That man actually dared to trample my little blackie to death! Wasn't it just a small prank on him? He was so cruel! Have you found out which pot the water the guy wanted came from?" the girl Feng Lu said viciously.
"Here, the one on the left. What are you going to do?" Feng Xin pointed.
"Give him something good." Feng Lu chuckled twice.
"Are you going to use the good things that Master and the others gave you?" Feng Xin said in surprise, "It's better not to use it, it's very expensive..."
The two siblings were sent to Qingye Gate to practice martial arts since they were young.
Now that I have returned from my studies, I have encountered many problems along the way and solved them easily.
When I was very satisfied, during dinner, I let two small pets go out to look for food on their own. Unexpectedly, one of them, Xiao Hei, was trampled to death by someone.
"Anyway, we are following my uncle on this trip to Dadu. With my uncle's ability, I will kill a poor guy like that guy. It's not uncommon for people to get sick and die on the way for such a long time."
"
Feng Lu said softly, with a vicious light shining in her eyes.
"But... what if Uncle Feng finds out?" Feng Xin asked.
"Just discover it if you find it, as long as he doesn't scream. If he bothers me again, I'll kill him too!" Feng Lu said impatiently.
"It's better not to do this..." Feng Xin was a little helpless, "Those medicines are very expensive. We won't be able to refine them after they are spent."
Feng Lu no longer paid attention to him, stepped a little, and swept out lightly, lightly splashed into Zhang Rongfang's bathtub, and then quickly returned to the darkness.
"Okay, this poison is colorless and odorless, plus you need to put a lot of bath water, it's hot, and the blood circulation will be accelerated...hehe, he can't possibly notice it.
By the time we realize something is wrong, the poison has already penetrated into our bone marrow and there is no cure!"
Feng Lu smiled softly.
The two turned around and left quietly.
The guy who boiled the water didn't know anything at all. He quickly boiled the water and moved the bucket to the door of Zhang Rongfang's room.
Boom, boom, boom.
With a click, the door opened.
Zhang Rongfang glanced at the steaming bucket and opened the door to let him in.
"Sir, your bath water is ready. Would you like me to be tied up and take a bath?" the waiter asked enthusiastically.
"No need." Zhang Rongfang casually handed over a few big bucks.
After the waiter closed the door with gratitude and left, he stretched out his hand to test the water temperature.
Slightly hot.
Start taking off your clothes immediately.
Soon, after taking off only a set of underwear, Zhang Rongfang walked to the bed, bent down, grabbed a big rooster from under the bed, and threw it into the bucket.
The big rooster's mouth was tied, its legs and wings were tied, so it couldn't move.
Being soaked in a bucket, he could only keep rolling.
Zhang Rongfang held the chicken in one hand, hung its head on the water, and waited quietly.
Every time he took a bath, he would grab some small animals from nearby to test the water.
This is the sequelae of the special training from Jinzhilou.
After becoming a spiritual envoy, he often had trouble sleeping at night, often worrying about what would happen if his food, clothing, housing and transportation were poisoned.
Therefore, Zhang Rong conveniently learned a lot of experience from the many poisoning and assassination methods of Golden Wing Tower.
He just bought this chicken from the inn, and it has many uses.
Give it some of your own rice when eating, and you can test the meal.
Throwing it in the bath and soaking it can also test whether it is safe.
"Um??"
Suddenly Zhang Rongfang's expression changed.
The rooster in the bucket was originally very energetic, but after soaking for a short while, his eyelids began to droop, his pupils became blurred, and his struggling movements became much slower.
"There's something wrong with the water!" He stood up quickly, threw the poor rooster to the ground, put on his clothes and opened the door.
After a while, the innkeeper and the two men who boiled water also rushed over.
Several people arrived in the room and looked at the steaming tub.
"Who boiled the water just now??" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice.
To be continued...
