Kang Zhen was wearing a long coat of soft material and coarse cloth today, and with his handsome appearance, he looked like a scholar who specializes in learning. Seeing Zuo Feng coming forward on his own initiative, Kang Zhen was also overjoyed, and ran all the way from Er
Lou ran down. Zuo Feng saw the opponent walking backwards to meet him, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to meet him.
Kang Zhen took Zuo Feng's hand and walked towards the second floor. This Juyun Inn is a relatively large one in Luan City, but it is much smaller in scale than the three-story building of the city owner of Luan City.
.
As Zuo Feng followed Kang Zhen to the second floor, he couldn't help but look downstairs in confusion. This inn was not small, but there seemed to be no other residents or diners here. Kang Zhen seemed to have guessed that
Zuo Feng was puzzled and said with a smile: "This 'Juyun Inn' is actually the private property of our Kang family. We usually receive some individual travelers here. It's just that during the annual auction, the inn is not open to the public."
Only then did Zuo Feng realize that he had built an inn in such a remote place just to facilitate the annual auction. He couldn't help but admire the Kang family's strong financial resources.
The two went up to the second floor, and Kang Zhen led Zuo Feng straight into a small hall. After Zuo Feng entered the room, he realized that this room was completely different from an ordinary guest room. The room they entered was more like
It was the kind of living room that a wealthy family would have, and there was a side hall next to it. Zuo Feng took a peek and saw that it looked like a study.
Kang Zhen explained with a smile: "This room is not open to the public even in normal times. It is my own private place to rest and practice. Of course, some old friends come to see me and will gather here. Xiaoyou Shen is sure
You’re not considered an outsider, so you don’t have to be cautious here, just treat it as if you’re back at home.”
Zuo Feng nodded lightly. Kang Zhen didn't need to explain. He had already made this guess as soon as he entered the room. The two of them sat down separately. After sitting down, Kang Zhen first smiled and said: "Little friend Shen Feng
You are young, you must be less than 18 years old, right?"
Zuo Feng smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't turn sixteen in a few months."
Kang Zhen originally guessed that Zuo Feng was young, but he didn't expect that Zuo Feng was not yet sixteen years old. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "I think the clothes of little friend Shen Feng should come from Ye
Imperial Lin is right, I wonder if there are some urgently needed items that I want to buy when I come to Luan City this time."
When he told Zuo Feng's origin, Kang Zhen noticed that the young man in front of him was obviously nervous, so he continued: "No need to be nervous, little friend. I just want to see if there is anything I can do to help. Our Kang family
You are still relatively small, so if there is anything I can do, I will definitely help you, but I will always remember the kindness of my friend who saved my little girl."
After listening to his explanation, Zuo Feng's face softened again. Because he had experienced too many things before, Zuo Feng had to be extra careful now. There was nothing he could do about Yao Xun being able to guess his identity, but for this kind of intersection
He doesn't want the other person to know too much about him.
Zuo Feng said with a smile: "I came out this time to gain some experience. Traveling around the mainland to expand my knowledge will also be of great help to my spiritual path."
Kang Zhen looked at Zuo Feng with a smile, knowing that the other party was still wary, but he could understand it. After all, it was understandable for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy to be more cautious when he went out on his own.
Zuo Feng thought for a while and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Kang must have gained a lot from his travels. I'm curious why you can tell where I come from just by what I'm wearing?"
Kang Zhen smiled and picked up the tea cup next to him, and at the same time motioned to Zuo Feng not to be polite, then he slowly took a sip of tea and said: "The Yelin Empire is considered a relatively hot place on the mainland, so the people there wear thinner clothes.
.And because there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in Yelin, people usually tie their trousers and shoes and socks together.”
As he spoke, Kang Zhen pointed at Zuo Feng's ankle. Only then did Zuo Feng notice a habit he had in dressing since he was a child. When he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. Kang Zhen paused briefly and continued: "If
Most people from the ancient empire belong to a certain sect, and these people will have certain signs on their bodies."
When Kang Zhen said this, Zuo Feng immediately thought of the people he met in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range and the Xiaoyao Pavilion disciples who died in his hands. Indeed, one could tell the difference just by looking at Kang Zhen's voice.
It sounded again and he said: "In addition, the ancient desert empire was very windy and sandy. People living there liked to wear wind robes, and some clothes would even have a hood specially sewn on them."
Zuo Feng couldn't help but nodded slightly, because the "Huan Sheng" he had seen before came from the ancient wilderness, and her clothes were exactly the same as what Kang Zhen said.
"Our Xuanwu Empire has steep mountains and rocks, so a pair of gloves are usually sewn on clothes to facilitate climbing over rocks without wearing out the palms. However, my clothes rarely have this feature, but the clothes worn by my servants do.
That’s what it will be.”
Hearing Kang Zhen mention the Xuanwu Empire, he was moved in his heart and said casually: "Although I used to live in Yelin, I have heard about a big shot in the Xuanwu Empire. I wonder if Uncle Kang knows that medicine hunchback."
Hearing the three words "Yao Tuozi", Kang Zhen's face instantly became serious. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "How could I not recognize this Yao Tuozi? No one living in Xuanwu doesn't know him, let alone
Our family started by refining medicine."
Zuo Feng was calm when he heard this, but his attention became more concentrated. Kang Zhen paused for a moment before continuing: "Because I am not from the Xuanwu Empire, I may not be aware of this medicine hunchback.
He has been canonized as the national master of our Xuanwu Empire some time ago. Not only is he highly skilled in refining medicine, but his poison-making skills are also unparalleled in the world. I just don’t know why I am interested in this person?"
Zuo Feng naturally did not dare to say that a friend had been poisoned by the "soul-transforming liquid", because the poison was so special. If Kang Zhen was determined to investigate the matters related to the soul-transforming liquid in the Ye Lin Empire during this period, I am afraid it would not take long for him to do so.
I realize that I am the left wind.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Kang, I don't know. I usually like the art of alchemy. Although I have only just begun to understand the art of alchemy, I also hope to know more about these masters of alchemy."
After Kang Zhen was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing "haha", and then he looked at Zuo Feng with deep meaning and said: "I'm afraid my little friend is not only extremely skilled in refining medicine, but also has reached the master level in brewing."
Level."
Hearing these words in Zuo Feng's ears, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face. He knew best that whether it was the original "Wangyou Zui" or the improved "Wangyou Zui" with Yaoxun's help, these
The formula and brewing techniques were not something Zuo Feng could study by himself. It was just people who didn't know him. But such sincere praise from Kang Zhen still made Zuo Feng feel a little embarrassed.
As soon as his heart moved, Zuo Feng took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and gently placed it on the table in front of Kang Zhen. Kang Zhen was slightly stunned at first, then grabbed it with excitement and opened the bottle
He put it in his mouth and smelled it, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
After a while, Kang Zhen opened his eyes, looked at Zuo Feng with some embarrassment and said: "Actually, I also heard about some things last night. The three major families plus one was punished by the Yinsha Gang, and it was spent on your side.
I haven't even gotten a drop out of my words for a long time. I think this is the 'Wangyou Zui' that is spreading in the city now, I..."
Seeing Kang Zhen's appearance, Zuo Feng also smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. The medicinal materials are not my own. I just put some effort into brewing them. Although I still want to give the uncle a few more bottles,
But I only got this bottle."
Zuo Feng was also a little depressed. It took him a long time to get out such a bottle from Yaoxun. Thinking about it now makes Zuo Feng a little angry.
"Enough, enough. This bottle has already flattered me. You also know that people like us don't care about the price anymore, but this wine is no longer something that can be purchased with money."
Zuo Feng nodded slightly and said, "Don't you want to try it, Dashu?"
Kang Zhen smiled and shook his head and said: "Although I also want to taste this wine, it would be too wasteful for me to drink it. I plan to wait until my Qiuqiu reaches the advanced stage of bone refining before giving it to her. I think
It will be very helpful for her practice."
Hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but look at Kang Zhen in front of him again. No matter how prominent his status is or how rich his family wealth is, the most important thing for people is their children. Back then, Anxiong did many extreme things for the sake of the county governor, but in Anya
After being poisoned, his temperament changed drastically. Although Zuo Feng didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew something about it from the rumors.
Zuo Feng nodded and continued: "I wonder if Uncle Kang has ever seen this medicine hunchback with his own eyes. What kind of person is he?"
Kang Zhen saw that Zuo Feng cared so much about the medicinal hunchback and said after thinking for a while: "I have only seen him twice from a distance, and that was when the Xuanwu Empire summoned various families to the imperial capital. I stood far away among the crowd.
Seen from a distance.
This drug hunchback looks like he is in his fifties, but it is said that his actual age is definitely much higher than that. On the surface, this person has a cold personality and looks like he would not let strangers in, so we went together.
There are many aristocratic families, but no one has spoken to him."
"Then he still lives in the imperial capital?"
Kang Zhen shook his head and said: "Although Yao Tuozi's name is well-known in the Xuanwu Empire, few people really know where he lives. It seems that he will only appear in the imperial capital when there are special orders from the empire."
"Special mission?"
Zuo Feng said doubtfully, and Kang Zhen said smoothly: "It's nothing more than those assassinations..., well, this, don't talk about state affairs, don't get involved in state affairs!" When Kang Zhen said this, he seemed to think of something, and immediately stopped talking in embarrassment.
