Chapter 274 Poison Pill
"Mr. Zhang, although this matter is troublesome, it is not impossible." Zhou Cang received Zhang Yan again in his big tent, and the two sat on chairs drinking tea while talking about what happened just now.

To save people, Zhang Yan must save people.But he won't tell He Xianghong first, he will let him air out, and at the same time, he will talk to Zhou Cang first to see how difficult this matter is.

"Master Zhou, can you elaborate?"

"He Xianghong was captured at the city gate of Langyuan, and he had already communicated with the local government when the situation was unknown. Therefore, the charge of exile was reported to the local government, and then the military department's government would report it back to the local government for exile. At the same time, it will be endorsed by the guards of the two places. These are traceable threads, and no one can write them down and then erase them, because too many eyes are watching, and it is impossible.

And if He Xianghong was sent to the army, [-]% of the time he would be sent to Xiyuan County.Recently, the Yaozu seems to be determined to go north to plunder, but this time because Lin Zedong went to the town with the Eight Diagrams Formation, his will to resist is extremely firm, and the recent military newspaper over there said that the fight was very brutal.Normally, under such circumstances, warriors and criminal soldiers like He Xianghong would be filled to the front line, and [-]% of them would be consumed.It is okay to say that there are ten deaths and no lives.

Therefore, if He Xianghong wanted to live, he had to die first and then live.Otherwise, this knot is a dead knot. "

The relationship between the two has been closer since Zhang Yan sent Zhou Cang a magic soldier as a congratulatory gift, so Zhou Cang didn't sell it at all, and directly threw out the solution to the problem.

"Die first and live later? Does that mean that He Xianghong should feign death to escape?" Zhang Yan naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Cang's words.Although this method of thinking is not new, it can indeed avoid most of the problems.Moreover, when a person is locked in the prison of the guard, how to die, or when to die, isn't it all up to the guard?It is also possible to minimize the influence of the local yamen in Langyuan City.

"That's right. You can let him die once, and then make an appearance and hand it over to the people in the local yamen to endorse. Naturally, you can directly terminate the half-way deportation order. In this regard, the yamen of the Ministry of Military Affairs is not very strict. , there is room for action. In addition, the local yamen of Langyuan City has just settled down, so it is impossible to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Does Mr. Zhang think this is feasible? "

In this regard, Zhang Yan naturally had to listen to Zhou Cang's opinion.Nodded, agreed.Then Zhou Cang told him the follow-up details.The time was finally set at five days later.

"Well, I also need to go back and make some preparations. Master Zhou has to worry a lot about this matter." Zhang Yan didn't stay for long, and after discussing things, he got up and left.

Five days is not a long time, Zhou Cang needs a series of preparations.Zhang Yan also had to prepare.Otherwise, how could he rest assured that he would keep a vicious bandit with no bottom line by his side?
In the next few days, Zhang Yan's daily life looked almost the same.But in fact, it is very different from the past.Except for going to lectures at the Military Academy and the Academy of Miscellaneous Studies, he spent the rest of his time on the alchemy furnace.

Although the alchemy furnace was used, what Zhang Yan wanted to refine this time was not "elixir", but "poison".

According to Longhu Mountain Gate, "Poison" and "Dan" can be said to be one body with two sides.Ordinary poisons are found in medicinal materials, while the "poison" in the mouth of monks is found in pill furnaces.Many alchemists often accidentally make some poisonous pills when they are thinking about new alchemy formulas.After a long time, these poison pills were gradually summarized and recorded by some caring people, and even specially improved. Only then did the special field of "poison" gradually develop.

Therefore, "poison" and "elixir" actually have a lot in common in terms of refining techniques.

What Zhang Yan wants to practice is called "soft bones".A poison pill with a slightly hilarious name.But if you know the usefulness of this thing, you will unconsciously feel a chill down your spine.

Poisonous as its name suggests.It's the kind of thing that can turn a hard bone into a soft bone, from a tough guy who would rather die than submit to a servile minion.

Isn't it invincible to be so powerful?

Not quite.The effect of the poison pill also depends on the level of cultivation of the poisoned person and whether they can find a way to get rid of the poison.At least "soft bone" is not a powerful thing in the poison pills recorded by Longhu Mountain Gate.Although it can even work on cultivators who have returned to the divine realm, there are too many ways to get rid of it.There are no less than ten kinds of special antidote, and some detoxification spiritual energy detoxification methods can quickly and without any trouble to get rid of its toxicity.

Therefore, "soft bone" is recorded in the book as a typical poison pill that looks very powerful but is actually almost useless, in order to warn those monks who want to practice poison pill refining not to only pursue toxicity, but also to What is pursued is the complex and incomprehensible characteristics of poison.

Zhang Yan is messing around with this thing these days.

I haven't done it before, and after I get started, I find that it is not as easy as alchemy.It's just because the refining technique of "soft bone" is basic enough, and Zhang Yan has the top pill furnace that he can use so far, so the refining method is more effective with less effort, and after more than ten failed attempts, he finally succeeded.

Different from the various fragrances emitted after becoming pills, poison pills will have an unpleasant stench after being refined.It's just that this stench will not spread, and will gather half a foot around the poison pill.It's nauseating to smell it up close.

After the "soft bones" were refined, the time agreed with Zhou Cang happened to catch up.Zhang Yan went to the garrison camp outside the city again to find He Xianghong.

"I can't believe what you say. Slave status may be a kind of imprisonment that is difficult for others, but it is not so easy for you. But I really need a person like you. So after thinking about it, I thought of a way to let us All at ease."

Just like last time, there were only Zhang Yan and He Xianghong in the cell, and the jailer was greeted in advance and avoided far away.

Seeing the messy colored pills in Zhang Yan's palm, He Xianghong murmured in his heart.It is true that the status of a slave is not a prison in his heart, and it is not impossible for him to defect one day.But why did Zhang Yan give this thing out?don't know.

"This is a kind of poison. It is a by-product of pills like bone strengthening pills. It is called cartilage. After eating it, people cannot die temporarily, but it will cause abnormal pain. It is not enough to describe life as worse than death. It needs to be taken for another period of time. Only one pill can suppress the extreme pain. And one pill can only be suppressed for one month, and it needs to be taken on time non-stop.

If you swallow it, the relationship between our master and servant will be established.If you don't want to, I won't force you, and it has nothing to do with me when you fend for yourself after exile.

You think it through before you choose. "
