C276 A shadow in the sun (2/2)

After all, in the eyes of this little girl, her father's knowledge was as great as that of Mister Xiao Wen.

As a result, he also believed that even though Wang Xuance was slightly weaker than his father and teacher, he was still one in a million.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's question, Wang Xuance let out a light sigh and said: ”After I have investigated for a while, I have already found out their secret. However, just as I was about to leave, they let me take a kind of food that they usually take... Drugs. They want to turn me into someone like them. ”

”And these drugs are?”

”They call it the Life Ointment. And I learned from other sources that some people call him by another name — opium! ”

However, Wang Xuance and Wan-Er had learned about opium and told her that this drug was originally used to numb the body, to relieve pain. There wasn't much of a difference between the two, but taking too much of it would cause addiction, and it was difficult to stop.

Tell her that this stuff is made from a kind of poppy, and that most of these poppies are now grown in the country of Zhu. If possible, he hoped that he could make a trip to Tian Zhu in the future to personally destroy these Devil Flowers.

He told her that a large part of the opium came from the Song and Ming seafarers, and that the reason they possessed opium was because they had traded it with foreign merchants.

At the same time that Wang Xuance and Shangguan Wan'er were introducing these matters. Xiao Wen had already taken Sun Shangxiang, Yang Xiu, and the bus to the Guest Hall – after all, Wan'er had arrived earlier than Xiao Wen.

As they walked into the guest hall, Xiao Wen couldn't help to ask what was going on.

But at this moment, a large command slapped his hands together, and a servant walked out from a corner with a tray in his hands. As for the item on the plate, it was a black coloured object. It looked like peat.

Xiao Wen didn't realize what this thing was at first. All he could do was ask, ”What is this grand decree?”

The official did not answer Xiao Wen's question directly. Instead, he revealed his motive and said: ”Daxing Cheng, do you know that even though I, as a guest, am at the bottom of the Nine Mystical Palace, I am still trusted by His Majesty? What is the reason?”

”What is it?” Xiao Wen frowned as he followed the order.

As a matter of fact, Xiao Wen had already noticed the change in his demeanor the moment he had clapped his hands.

It was as if he had found something to rely on. Those feelings of inferiority, cowardice, and distortion disappeared in an instant and became filled with confidence, as if he had become a true superior.

Although he was still respectful towards Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen felt that his respect was more like a form of numbness and deception than worship.

He seemed to want to use this attitude to numb Xiao Wen and wait for him to fall into his trap.

At the same time, the order spoke out, ”The reason why we are able to gain His Majesty's trust is because we have always been able to accomplish the duties that His Majesty has entrusted us with.”

Hearing this, Xiao Wen became vigilant as he asked, ”Then what is your job?”

Hearing this, the smile on his face became even more radiant.

He said, ”Do you know that? Those small country emperors who came to visit us were all very respectful and obedient. That is the credit of my guest's teachings. ”I, as a pawn, have a lot of ways to deal with people.”

Hearing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help but frown.

He did not agree with this behavior, so he said: ”Master, this is the official voice of the big man from abroad. To be able to master a guest was to master a major road and to master a place where war was inevitable. In Xiao Wen's eyes, you were like a general guarding the Corridor Pass. Instead of thinking about how to better guard it, you were thinking about how to grow a field on top of the city wall. ”When I find out that the planting on the wall isn't good, I might as well destroy the wall and plant it on the ground.”

”Young prefecture, Grand Slave Farmer, these Nine Supremes are in charge of the country. Moreover, they had the power to rule over the entire Darkhan Kingdom. But you, who control all the kingdoms and vassals of the burly man, can only play the game of training here. ”From what I see, you are simply a vegetarian corpse in this position!”
