Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

At night, at the foot of Guangping Mountain, the silver moonlight shines on the earth, as if covered with a layer of white frost.

Under the huge camphor tree, which is as thick as an adult, there are several sounds of croaking toads.

Not long after, in the dark night, a shivering woman walked over.

The woman had a bloated figure and a plump face. She was holding a slender wooden stick in her hand, testing the path under her feet, and then cautiously came to the camphor tree and whispered,

"Sir, I'm here!"

As the woman finished speaking, the sound of rustling leaves could be heard, and a man jumped out from behind the camphor tree.

This man was the middle-aged man who had conspired with the young man to poison Meng Zhao. Now he changed his respectful and cautious attitude in front of the young man. He had a fierce face and snake-like eyes. He looked at the fat woman coldly and said,

"There is a new task this time. You are working as a kitchen worker in Mengjiazhuang. No matter what method you use to get this bottle of medicine into Meng Zhao's diet, you must ensure that he takes this medicine."

As he spoke, he threw the snow-white porcelain bottle given to him by the young man in front of the woman with an extremely determined attitude.

When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"My lord, have mercy. My lord, have mercy. If I do something like this to harm my master's family, and if I am found out, I will lose my head. For the sake of my dedication to serve you in the past, please spare me." This time!"

Because the woman had something in the hands of the middle-aged man, she had to become a pawn for him to lurk in the manor, and did some things that harmed the interests of the manor. But she was not stupid. She knew that it was just a small fight before, even if she was discovered. , it’s nothing. At most, she can be expelled without any hindrance to her life.

However, killing Meng Zhao with poison is different. It will kill people. If it is found that she did it, not to mention her, even her husband and children will be implicated. That's why women are so afraid.

Although there are only some unsophisticated women in the kitchen, women are good at gossiping and are very good at gathering information. They have already figured out all the details about Meng Zhao and know that this is a young man from a noble family and his life is precious. , if something happens, someone must be buried with him.

The man didn't think so, but he knew not to push too hard, so he comforted him,

"Don't worry, I didn't let you poison him. What's in this is not poison, but a drug that temporarily makes people sleepy and drowsy. Don't show your guilty conscience. No one will know that it was you who did it.

And if this is done, I will not only promote your son to be a steward and teach him martial arts, but I will also give you five hundred taels of silver. With these five hundred taels, your son's marriage will also be settled. Think about it clearly. "

The woman was still hesitant. Although she had no knowledge and was stupid, she was still afraid of the power of the Meng family.

The middle-aged man used half threats and half inducements. It took him a long time to persuade her to accept the matter.

After the woman left, in the darkness beside the middle-aged man, a man holding a steel knife and wearing black clothes walked out. Judging from his appearance, he was dressed as a guard of the Meng family manor.

"This woman is unreliable. When it's done, kill her without leaving any traces.

After leaving the Meng Family Manor, I will prepare a boat for you and let you leave Lingwu City by boat. When the storm has passed, you can come back. When the time comes, there will be a new world again, and I will reuse it for you. "

There was no hesitation or fear in the eyes of the man holding the knife, but instead they were full of blazing and burning ambition.

"Yes, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully.

But, my lord, Meng Zhao takes his own safety very seriously, and will send someone to inspect every meal to see if it is poisonous, fearing that it may not be so easy to obtain. "

The middle-aged man smiled lightly,

"Don't worry, this medicine was given to me from above. Not only is it colorless and odorless, but its properties are extremely secret. Testing the poison with a silver needle will yield no results."

The man holding the knife nodded thoughtfully, with a smile on his face...

In the early morning of the next day, after Meng Zhao woke up, he washed and dressed neatly under the service of Han Lu and Zhu'er, and practiced boxing and kicking for a while, and then Shi Shiran came to the table to eat.

The breakfasts placed on the table are all prepared by the chef according to Meng Zhao's preferences, especially the three-vegetarian cake, which is a local specialty snack in Lingwu City. It is crispy, mellow, and fragrant. These days, Available for almost every meal.

Meng Zhao sat at the table. Next to him was Lu Le, who was reporting to him some affairs in the village in recent days and the adjustment of some properties under his name. He was holding a cut piece of three-vegetable cake with chopsticks and was about to At the entrance, suddenly, the young dragon Xiaojiu that was originally wrapped around his waist suddenly shot out. The dragon's head swelled and swallowed the three-sugar cake in Meng Zhao's chopsticks in one bite, even biting off the bamboo chopsticks.

This unexpected scene not only shocked the unprepared Lu Le, but even Meng Zhao showed a look of astonishment on his face. He did not blame Xiao Jiu, but just patted its dragon lovingly. Head, he said helplessly,

"You guy, you usually eat the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, swallow spiritual elixirs ore to your heart's content, and don't even eat anything delicious. Why did you change your taste today?"

Xiao Jiunai is the body of a dragon. It acts according to its instincts. The things it swallows daily are mainly various foods that provide for its body development and growth, such as the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts containing the essence of flesh and blood, the essence of elixirs containing the essence of plants and trees, and other useful foods. Various precious minerals to breathe out gold energy and enhance the power of the organs and scale defense.

In the past, Meng Zhao had also fed very delicious food to Xiao Jiu, but the young dragon despised the food because it was empty and tasteless and could not improve its health, so he dismissed it, but today it showed something a little abnormal.

Lu Le was also happy to see it. Of course, he was also a little envious. There were probably only a few people in the world who could keep a ferocious beast like a dragon as a pet, and even Meng Zhao was the only one.

"Master, has Xiao Jiu grown too fast recently? The amount of food he consumed before could not keep up with the energy consumption in his body?"

Meng Zhao shook his head,

"Probably not. It was fine yesterday. Maybe it was attracted by the taste of the three-vegetarian cake!"

With that said, Meng Zhao changed his pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of Sansu cake, and wanted to feed Xiaojiu. He had already put the cake to his mouth, but the young dragon just chirped, raised his head, and ignored it.

"this?"

Meng Zhao hesitated, thought for a while, and then put the three-vegetable cake into his mouth. Sure enough, the young Jiao Xiaojiu rushed to swallow the cake into his belly again. There was a completely different change from the previous disdain. .

For a moment, Lu Le looked confused, while Meng Zhao's expression suddenly darkened. As if he had thought of something, he started to test the breakfast on the table one by one.

The result is that Xiao Jiu is not interested in all the meals. Only when he wants to eat the three-vegetarian cake, Xiao Jiu will take the initiative to grab the food, or it is more appropriate to describe it as preventing him from eating.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Lu Le also realized that something seemed amiss, his round face was startled, and he asked doubtfully.
