Chapter 1940 Refining Zengyuan Pill(1/2)
Originally, Li Cong arranged for him to have a good rest on the day he arrived in the capital, and the next day he would go to Prince Hagen to discuss it carefully. Now Prince Hagen already knows very well how big he is.
He is no match for Li Cong at all. If he continues to fight against Li Cong, this guy will not have good results. Therefore, Prince Hagen must quickly sell his land to Li Cong.
What they want to discuss is this price. Li Cong will definitely try hard to lower the price, but Prince Hagen's money comes from major banks. If the pressure is too high, Prince Hagen will probably go out to beg for food.
Plans will always be interrupted, especially if they are placed in front of some capable people. Just like Li from now on, when he arrived at the house and hadn't even taken a sip of hot water, Wu Zuoxi's manager over there, Lao Cai,
Here he is, as anxious as if his butt is on fire. Li Cong has also met Lao Cai several times and knows that this person is not such a random person. Since he has chased him directly to the house, it seems that there is really something important to do.
Done.
"Lao Cai, what's going on with your master? Why are you in such a hurry? I don't owe him any money. Even if you're a debt collector, you have to let him have a good rest, right?" Li Cong started to complain on the way.
"I'm really sorry, Master Cao. This matter should be very important to our master. I have been with our master for a long time, but I have never seen our master do things like that." Although Lao Cai
Some things have been guessed, but this guy's words are very accurate. If Wu Zuoxi hadn't said something, he would definitely not have said it. Even if Li Cong inquired, there would be no good news.
On the way, Li Cong also knew that it was impossible to get anything from the mouth of this cunning old fox, so he simply said nothing. If he continued to pry into other people's news, he might arouse their resentment in the end.
It's better to just close your eyes and relax. Lao Cai was relieved in his heart. No matter what he said, he would offend others. To be honest, it would be difficult for his master to explain. If he didn't say anything, he would be in front of him.
I don't know how to get over this situation. The best situation is the current situation. People don't ask themselves, and they don't need to speak.
There is still some distance between the Wu Mansion and Li Cong's residence. Wu Zuoxi is the prime minister of the capital. This Li Cong has the title of earl. The rest is nothing. Li Cong is not qualified to buy in the inner city.
Fangzi, and the Fangzi in this inner city are all like carrots and pits. There is no way there will be a vacancy here. Even if there is, someone will buy it immediately. Wu Zuoxi lives here.
It was because the emperor gave him a reward, and he lived in a place where others would not live here to avoid being embarrassed, because this was the ancestral home of the Tuoba family, and Wu Zuoxi single-handedly uprooted the Tuoba family.
, the emperor had nothing to do with allocating this place to Wu Zuoxi. Wu Zuoxi had no taboos about this. Naturally, he lived there happily. The area covered was definitely the largest in the inner city. If it were not for the overstepping
The reason is that he will definitely make this place even more powerful than the palace. At that time, the Tuoba family was also a foreign surname. Even if they became princes, they could not have a larger territory than the princes of the imperial court.
"Lao Cai, I've only come to this yard in your house twice, but it looks the same every time. Do you think your master spends his energy on it every day? Some people came to my trading house some time ago.
There are a lot of large pieces of good wood, I asked them to send you some, in preparation for the large-scale construction projects in your house." Li Cong walked in and said, the yard has been decorated again.
"Haha, that's alright. Let me first thank you, Mr. Cao, for our master. Our master is very passionate about this matter." Lao Cai said while leading the way.
Entering the inner courtyard, Li Cong saw Wu Zuoxi, dressed in white, feeding the fish there. This was really elegant. Li Cong was not an ordinary person, so naturally he didn't have to kneel down to Wu Zuoxi.
"Master Wu is so elegant. I thought Master Wu would be busy with some affairs of the empire every day. I didn't expect that he would be lazy here. No one would believe him if he told me." Li Cong said with a smile.
After all, Wu Zuoxi had helped him and was older than him. Li Cong wanted to treat this person as his friend, but he still couldn't let go.
"Haha, it's rare that I have half a day to take a good rest and let you see it. To be honest, there are indeed a lot of government affairs in this empire, but the imperial government cannot work without me. Apart from me, this
There are many people in the empire who are working in their own positions. I can only be considered one of them. I heard that Mr. Cao has arrived in the capital, so I quickly called you here to use my half-day.
Time, let me give you a good taste of your Du Kang, how can you relieve your worries, only Du Kang, haha, what a wonderful sentence." Wu Zuoxi said, Wu Zuoxi is very capable in the literary world, if this guy can praise him, some
Literary scholars can be happy for several days, but Li Cong is different from those guys, so he doesn't need Wu Zuoxi's praise.
"Haha, what Mr. Wu said is still wrong. Du Kang can only relieve his temporary sorrow. If there is really something, just say it. What kind of relationship do we have? There is no need for this. As long as I can do it
I will definitely give Mr. Wu an explanation for the matter." Li Cong said with a smile. He could actually guess it a long time ago. Why would Wu Zuoxi ask him to come drink when he was fine? They are all people with troubles.
"You always speak so directly. My old man has something to ask of you, but you have to be a little more reserved. Come on, go to the house. I'm ready. There's no one to accompany you. It's just us.
Two people, let's drink some wine and talk about something." Wu Zuoxi pointed to the living room and said, then turned to Lao Cai and said, "Lao Cai, remove everyone around you. Anyone who dares to come close will be killed." Wu Zuoxi said, Li Cong
I was also a little surprised. What kind of thing could make Wu Zuoxi like this? Did something extraordinary happen? It was impossible. He had been paying attention to things in the capital recently.
Li Cong followed Wu Zuoxi into the house with doubts in his mind. The inside was even more magnificent. Wu Zuoxi seemed to have spent his time on this in the past. In fact, he can't be blamed for this.
None of Wu Zuoxi's sons-in-law have talents that can be developed, and there is no need to waste anything on them. Sometimes Wu Zuoxi is envious of some big families in the capital, who have more than a dozen sons. Either this son got into trouble because of a fight today.
Tomorrow, the grandson will give a girl from a certain family to a certain girl. The old man has never had a day off this whole day, not to mention how much fun it is to do it one by one, but those are all family affairs. I don’t have that much.
The only thing I can do is to make my home look nicer and more comfortable. In the eyes of outsiders, I don’t have any ambitions. I mainly show it to the one on the throne.
The things on the table were not expensive. From these dishes, Li Cong could tell that Wu Zuoxi was still a person who paid great attention to health. It seemed that even if he had no heirs, Wu Zuoxi would not want to die so soon.
If he could live a little longer, he would live a little longer. He didn't want to leave so soon. He had to live without his son, right? Wasn't there hope?
After three glasses of wine, Wu Zuoxi's face was already turning red. This distinguished guest, Du Kang, was almost the same as the 52-degree liquor on earth. For some people, this was really a powerful drink.
The courage, this sentence is not false at all. Now Wu Zuoxi dares to say some things that he did not dare to say before. Even if he has ears across the wall, he has to say it, otherwise he will definitely be criticized by himself.
Suffocated to death.
"Master Cao, does he know what my biggest regret in life is? How can I make so much money in this position?" Wu Zuoxi said after drinking a glass of wine, his face full of sadness.
Li Cong glanced at Wu Zuoxi. This amount of alcohol should be considered acceptable. With Wu Zuoxi's ability, he should not be like this after drinking two kilograms. But now that he is like this, that means something is really going on. Wu Zuoxi
Li Cong has known about this for a long time. It's just because this guy has no son. He can't say this. It's the same as scolding others for their family's demise. We don't do such things.
"Haha, actually there is nothing unspeakable about this. I have no son. I, Wu Zuoxi, have no son. This matter has troubled me for many years. I remember when I was a young man, at that time I had my first child.
I was very happy at that time to have a daughter. After all, it was my first child, so I felt very happy. Later, I had a second child, and I was still very happy at that time, until I had four children.
I was very happy when I had a daughter. No matter if it was a boy or a girl, it was just my child. But later on, when I started to get older, I had no new children born. At that time,
I just realized that I am actually past the age of having children. Haha, it may be embarrassing for a grown man to say these things here, but these words have been stuck in my heart for a long time. What if
If I can't solve this problem, I may spend my whole life in such a shadow, and I will definitely not come out until I go through this life." Wu Zuoxi said miserably. Indeed, such a thing is rare on earth.
There are also many. Although many people say that men and women are the same, why do many people stop having children after having boys, but those who have girls still want children.
Li Cong looked at Wu Zuoxi with some confusion. How could he think of telling himself this? Do he have the ability to let this guy give birth to a son? On the rty planet, there is a race of girls who can do this. Her first
The child must be his son, and because of this, their lives are very miserable. Did Wu Zuoxi know that he was from another planet? He wanted to help him get a girl like that?
This is impossible. I was very lucky to come here. The current teleportation array can only be used by dead things, but no living things can get through.
"Haha, brother, I don't mean anything else. Don't think nonsense. I don't know what you are thinking. What I think is that you can help me. I hope you can help me make elixirs. No, I want you.
My master helped me refine the elixir, Zeng Yuan Dan, do you know about this thing?" Wu Zuoxi saw Li Cong's eyes wandering around and knew that he might be talking about another thing. If this was the case before, he
He will definitely come here to listen to what he said, but now he doesn't have that time. Now he has to solve his own affairs quickly. He doesn't have much time, and there is not much time for alchemy.
It is fixed that Li Cong needs time to find his master. Whether his master will give him face or not is still one thing. He really doesn't have much time to go back and forth. He can't afford to waste it.
Zengyuan Pill? If Li Cong was a pharmacist who came up step by step, he would definitely know what this thing is used for, but Li Cong is not that kind of person, Li Cong is a shortcut person. He left
A path that others have not taken. With today's achievements, it can be said that Li Cong didn't know anything about this elixir, but it didn't matter. After all, everyone outside knew that Li Cong's master was an alchemist.
. He himself is not an alchemist. Most people would not feel relieved when they see Li Cong's reaction. After all, Li Cong is just an ordinary magician, not an alchemist, and Zengyuan Dan is like this
For Li Cong, those things are absolutely unnecessary, that is, only old people like Wu Zuoxi need such things. It would not be so good for young people to use those things.
"Master Wu, although my master is an alchemist, he will often ask me to learn some things in this area. You also know that this alchemist is not someone who can learn it. To be honest,
I don’t understand anything, what on earth is this Zengyuan Dan?” Li Cong said with a smile, looking a bit silly, but that’s how people feel that this is a real person, otherwise it would be like this
, everyone thought that Li Cong was a genius who knew everything. Wu Zuoxi also found a sense of showing off. He had no mood to show off to ordinary people, but he was very willing to show off to Li Cong.
"Haha, it's normal for me not to know. It can be said that I was not clear about this thing a month ago, but now I can tell you that this thing is specially used for people like me. I don't have it anymore.
The ability to have children, this thing is the elixir that allows me to have that ability. It is a third-grade elixir. I wonder if your master can...?" Wu Zuoxi said anxiously, there is no way, he has not had it for so many years.
What good news? If this was the last news and gave him bad news, he would really collapse. Li Cong looked at his pleading eyes and knew what was going on.
"Master Wu, what you are talking about should not be a problem for my master, but the problem now is that I have to hand over these materials to my master. Although he loves me very much, you also know that he
He doesn't want me to help him make any decisions, but out of respect, I have to ask him what the old man means. This all takes time and cannot be done immediately." Li Cong raised his hands and said, this is Wu Zuoxi
This is going crazy. I can't let this guy fall into an irrational state. I have to wake up this guy quickly.
"Yes, I am also aware of this matter. In fact, I didn't expect you to agree to me immediately, brother. As long as you take this matter to your heart, it will be fine. Five supplies of medicinal materials have been prepared here. If it is not enough, I will go there immediately
Preparation, to be honest with you, this money is all I have. I can get it if I continue to prepare, but it is a bit difficult. I can’t come up with the money to thank your master. I don’t know what I am doing.
How much money can old face Zhang get from your Cao family's bank account? If possible, how about it be regarded as the cost of my alchemy?" Wu Zuoxi has already said everything today, so he doesn't care to say more.
He really has nothing now. It is really difficult to buy all five medicines without his sons-in-law discovering them. You have to know that all of them are like human beings.
the same.
"Haha, Mr. Wu, you are really beautiful in what you have done, but I can't refuse you yet. Anyway, I will treat this matter as a very important thing, so you can rest assured. My master is here
I will do it. I think it may take a little longer. Just keep the thank you fee in mind. I’ll ask one more question. If you think I’m talking too much, just don’t answer me. Is that right?
Are these sons-in-law putting a lot of pressure on you?" Li Cong said. Wu Zuoxi smiled bitterly after hearing this. In the past, he regarded these sons-in-law as his own and promoted them for a while. However,
Now, his biggest enemy is precisely theirs. If he really has a son, their status will definitely plummet, and each of them will definitely hinder him. They can do anything.
"Actually, my daughter and my future son should be the closest people, but fate has now arranged for them to become enemies. If I don't have a son, my daughters and son-in-law will definitely live this life.
They are very good. With my care, they can have food and clothing for a lifetime, but if I have a son, that will not be the case. They will definitely do everything possible to deal with my son in private. My son
He is just a child. How could he have such ability to confront these people? So I had to take the trouble to eliminate them one by one. Some of them looked pretty good. But
I can confidently say that if they are playing tricks, none of them will be an opponent." Wu Zuoxi said arrogantly. Li Congna would absolutely believe this. Without this guy, it is estimated that the Tuoba clan would not have been finished.
So quickly, a Tuoba clan was finished so quickly, let alone his own sons-in-law. They were not on the same level at all. Old Wu could do whatever he wanted.
"Mr. Wu, you are worrying too much. The ladies will definitely love their younger brother very much. I have a group of people coming here recently. They have not shown their faces here. They are very good. If
I can help Mr. Wu if he needs it. In addition, we are going to build a villa area outside the city. I will leave a good one for Mr. Wu at that time." Li Cong said, sending the Buddha to the West. Such a thing Li Cong
Wu Zuoxi is very good at childhood. Wu Zuoxi is one of the top figures in the Western Empire. Although he will be jealous of the emperor if he has a son in the future, that will only happen in a year or two. No matter what, it will be beneficial to him now.
Although Li Cong doesn't know about the Zengyuan Dan, he can be sure that the third-grade elixir is nothing to him. Those elixirs that are difficult to use are actually not as exciting as the alchemist said.
