Chapter 404 Yang Xiu Breaks Through the Great Defense
Yang Xiu had already heard the news outside.
As early as when he heard that a large number of rats ran out of a house near the city wall and a tunnel was discovered, he felt like the sky was falling!
You know, that tunnel is very secretive, and it took a lot of effort to dig it!
Although this tunnel is not long, there is a moat outside the city wall. It is conceivable how much effort it would take to successfully dig this tunnel without alerting everyone.
Originally, this tunnel had always been a hidden chess piece of their Zhou Palace, and would only be used at critical moments.
But now, he just asked Lin Xiao to sneak the girl from the Xie family out. Once the tunnel was used, this place was completely exposed!
How would he explain to his father when he returned?
It would have been fine if the plan had been successful, but Lin Xiao never came back. Even Yang Shu and her group, who were supposed to leave, were escorted back by the Black Kirin Guards!
What's worse is that there are rumors outside that the idiot Yang Shu wants to kill the Black Kirin Guards who are around the Medicine God, and that a man in black has taken the Princess of Fu'an hostage and is threatening the Black Kirin Guards to release her!
Why did his well-planned plan turn out like this!
Who is that man in black?
Could it be Lin Xiao?
But how could Lin Xiao betray him?
And what about Yang Shu and Wang Kui, how do they do things?
Why is everything going haywire?
Yang Xiu was extremely irritable, which gave him a strong bloodthirsty impulse!
But this is the capital, he must endure it and never reveal his true identity!
Yang Xiu tried to hold back again and again, but he still couldn't help it.
He tried to stand up suddenly, but his vision blurred, and then he fell back weakly.
He was poisoned and now his body has become weak and cannot withstand such stimulation.
Yang Xiu clutched the quilt uncomfortably. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and leaned against the cushion, constantly thinking of a solution in his mind.
At the same time, in the palace.
Emperor Taihe looked at the two kinds of fruits with burning eyes and ordered Wang Zhi directly: "Send two imperial chefs over!"
The two royal chefs arrived quickly.
They looked at the muddy potatoes and sweet potatoes and asked someone to fetch them some clean water.
After washing it himself, he took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
After a while, he cut it open and smelled it, then cut a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew and taste.
Finally, the two came to the conclusion that these two fruits had no peculiar smell, so they could try steaming them in water and roasting them to see how they tasted after being cooked.
After Emperor Taihe nodded, the two of them took some potatoes and sweet potatoes back to cook.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Taihe asked in detail about Yang Shu's search for a miracle doctor to detoxify her, and how the Black Kirin Guards were poisoned, how the men in black threatened to release them, and how they asked Wang Kui to kill Yang Shu and the others.
After Yang Shu and others were escorted back to the capital, the Black Kirin Guards reported all these matters in detail.
However, Emperor Taihe still wanted to hear what the Godly Doctor had to say.
After the Medicine God recounted today's events in detail, Emperor Taihe asked about the details of finding Xie Ying.
After the Medicine God Doctor had finished speaking, an enticing sweet smell suddenly came from outside.
This sweet smell is different from the fruity aroma of strawberries. It is more like the smell of melted sugar. It is not only sweet, but also has the unique burnt aroma of barbecue.
Even more tempting than the scent of fruit.
Everyone looked towards the door in surprise.
Soon a young eunuch came to report that two imperial chefs had already cooked the fruit.
Emperor Taihe immediately summoned the two men into the palace.
The royal chef brought a food box and opened it. Inside were roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, boiled potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes and steamed potatoes.
In order to accurately judge the taste of these two strange fruits, no seasoning was added during the cooking process.
Just prepare the dipping sauce separately.
Boiled sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes are the most fragrant, especially roasted sweet potatoes, which have a very distinct sweetness, like caramel after roasting, which is very tempting.
Everyone was very surprised.
Including Hei Qiwei, who had eaten sweet potatoes raw before.
Although sweet potatoes were sweet when eaten raw, they were not as sweet as they are now.
Just as everyone was surprised, Wang Zhi took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me test the poison for you?"
He looked at the roasted sweet potatoes with burning eyes, obviously very greedy.
Emperor Taihe was also very envious.
So he now dislikes Wang Zhi!
This guy obviously likes to eat it, but he insists on saying that he is testing poison for him. Do you think he is stupid?
Emperor Taihe directly ordered Luo Zheng: "Luo Zheng, come and try it, how does it taste?"
Luo Zheng quickly agreed, then carefully picked up a small piece of roasted sweet potato with clean chopsticks and tasted it carefully.
"How is it?" Emperor Taihe asked impatiently.
"It's very sweet." Luo Zheng exclaimed, "And it's fragrant and sticky, melting in your mouth."
When Lu Xuan heard this, he quickly said, "I'll try it too."
He took another pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a small piece of roasted sweet potato, and tasted it carefully.
Then his eyes lit up: "It is indeed very sweet! Your Majesty, this thing is very delicious after being roasted. If the yield is really not low, the people will definitely like it!"
Emperor Taihe was so excited by what he said that he quickly tasted it and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, it really tastes very sweet!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to taste the boiled sweet potatoes and steamed sweet potatoes, but found that neither tasted as good as the roasted sweet potatoes.
He was secretly disappointed and looked at the roasted potatoes again. They were also very fragrant, but unlike roasted sweet potatoes, they did not have a distinct sweetness.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask someone to test the poison, Wang Zhi volunteered again.
Emperor Taihe did not refuse this time and let him taste the baked potatoes.
After tasting it carefully, Wang Zhi said, "It tastes fragrant and glutinous, almost not sweet, and a little dry.
However, this thing is very soft and does not require much effort to eat, so even the elderly and young children can eat it easily.
And it tastes great when cooked, without any strange smell, so it’s a good grain.”
After he finished speaking, he tasted the boiled potatoes and steamed potatoes, and found them a little hard to swallow, but after adding some dipping sauce, they quickly absorbed the flavor.
Wang Zhi immediately shared his discovery.
But this time Emperor Taihe was not in a hurry to taste the potatoes.
After all, someone had eaten sweet potatoes raw long before they came back, which means that this thing should not be poisonous.
But potatoes are different.
When the Black Kirin Guards saw that the White Wolf did not eat the potatoes raw, they did not dare to eat them raw either.
Therefore, Emperor Taihe was a little worried about these potatoes and planned to wait a little longer.
He asked Wang Zhi, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Wang Zhi shook his head.
The Medicine God Doctor took his pulse again and said, "There are no signs of poisoning."
Emperor Taihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and let Wang Zhi eat all the potatoes.
Wang Zhi: “…”
He did as he was told silently. After he finished eating, the Medicine God felt his pulse again and said with certainty, "There's still no sign of poisoning."
Wang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Taihe became excited.
He walked around and suddenly asked excitedly, "I remember you said before that one seedling of this thing produced ten kilograms of fruit?"
