Young White Horse: The Poison Sword Master of the Wen Family, Shocking the Apocalypse

Chapter 342: Ruofeng Returns, Yanzhaoli Holds a Banquet in Tianqi City (2)

Baili Dongjun was confused by Wen Yanzhao's three sentences and asked with a frown.

"A treat? Whose treat? Cousin, what are you talking about? We came to Apocalypse City to make money!"

Wen Yanzhao smiled broadly: "Of course, whoever has the money will be the guest!"

Baili Dongjun's eyes turned and he asked, "Who has money?"

Sikong Changfeng picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each of the four people, saying casually:

"Of course they are the royal relatives, nobles, celebrities and wealthy businessmen in Tianqi City!"

Yin Luoxia reached out and took the teacup, blew away the foam gently, and asked with a smile:

"We are here to rob them, why should we invite them as our guests?"

Wen Yanzhao stretched out a finger and tapped the table lightly:

"If the Emperor knew that we had entered Tianqi City, he would definitely be very uneasy."

"When we show up, countless palace guards and imperial guards will come looking for trouble with us!"

"Although these people pose no threat to me at all, you three are different. If the Shadow Sect or that damned eunuch Zhuoqing uses some tricks to attack you three, we will be in a very passive position!"

"So, I already have an idea in mind... Here comes the food and wine, let's talk while we eat!"

After he finished speaking, the second brother also came over with various vegetables.

After three days of travel, the group was already hungry.

Although the Wangdu Inn is located in the suburbs of Tianqi City, the food is quite good.

A plate of fish with fermented wine, four stewed lion's head dishes, a jar of braised lamb, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of clear soup made with loofah tips and eggs.

In addition, Wen Yanzhao specially arranged two plates of candied fruits and a basket of three-layer pastries.

He knew that Yin Luoxia and Baili Dongjun loved sweets, so he ordered these separately.

Among the four people, there are two drinking buddies, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, so naturally they can’t miss a jar of ten-year-old wine - Banhuchun.

The table was filled with food and wine, and except for Wen Yanzhao, the other three were already salivating.

Only Wen Yanzhao greeted the waiter softly:

"Little Brother, I've finally arranged for your dish to be served. Thank you!"

Wen Yanzhao had already given the second brother a reward of ten taels of silver, and asked him to specially prepare some delicious food that only Wen Yanzhao could enjoy.

Hearing the customer's greeting, he naturally ran into the back hall happily and came towards the few people with a bamboo food box.

Wen Yanzhao took the food box and saw that Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng had not yet started eating, but were just staring at him blankly, so he smiled and said:

"What are you two brothers standing there for? Come on and eat!"

Baili Dongjun swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly:

"Cousin, what are you doing? Are you going to eat those snakes, insects, spiders, and clams in front of everyone again? If you eat these, the three of us will have to kick you out to save you the trouble of watching us!"

Sikong Changfeng also nodded like pecking at rice, and agreed with Baili Dongjun's words very much!

After all, they both had seen Wen Yanzhao's character. Every time they ate together, they would eat some strange and poisonous things.

Wen Yanzhao placed the food box in front of him and said with a deliberately stern face:

"You two ungrateful bastards! I invited you to dinner, and you're actually trying to kick me out? How can that be justified?"

Sikong Changfeng knew he was in the wrong, so he held his chopsticks for a long time without daring to put them down:

"We're not trying to get rid of you, but the food you eat is so... so unique!"

"How about we discuss this? Look, there are a few people eating noodles next door. It looks like they're about to leave...why don't you just be a little bit embarrassed and share a table with them for now?"

Wen Yanzhao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few children around fourteen or fifteen years old next door, each holding a bowl of vegetarian noodles and eating voraciously.

Seeing this, Wen Yanzhao rolled his eyes at Sikong Changfeng:

"You want me to sit at the same table with a kid? If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you. You're the Third Lord of Snow Moon City, but now you're a complete ungrateful bastard!"

Baili Dongjun ignored the bickering between Wen Yanzhao and Sikong Changfeng, but looked at the food box with a vigilant look and asked:

"Cousin, can you tell me what's in this?"

Wen Yanzhao came back to his senses, but with a mysterious look on his face:

"Of course it's a rare delicacy! Why, do you want to try it?"

Baili Dongjun looked disgusted and quickly pulled his chair back and ran away:

"Take it, take it!"

"Even if I starve to death, I won't eat a single bite of your food!"

As he spoke, Wen Yanzhao casually opened the lunch box. To their surprise, the box contained only a basket of steamed dumplings with translucent skin, a plate of fried "bacon" with spring bamboo shoots, and a bowl of golden and crispy fried flower cakes.

In addition, there was a dish of vinegar, which was not the poisonous snakes, spiders and clams that Sikong Changfeng and Baili Dongjun had guessed.

What was strange was that after Wen Yanzhao opened the food box, the entire inn was filled with a unique fragrance.

There was the aroma of meat, vinegar, and some strange fragrance that Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng had never smelled before.

"This...cousin, are you fasting today?"

The corners of Baili Dongjun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

He knows Wen Yanzhao too well!

He hadn't eaten a normal meal since he was three years old. This time, he actually acted like a normal person for the first time, which really surprised Baili Dongjun.

Wen Yanzhao placed the food in the lunch box on the table one by one, looked around at the three of them, and said with a faint smile:

"What are you looking at? You're not actively eating. You have a problem with your brain!"

"Hurry up, we still have tasks to do after we finish eating."

Sikong Changfeng and Baili Dongjun looked at each other, and both of them were muttering in their hearts, this little poisonous guy Wen Yanzhao has actually turned over a new leaf!

Yin Luoxia picked up a piece of dried apricot and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully and saying:

"Two uncles, what's wrong with you? There's nothing unusual about what Master Wen eats. Why are you two reacting so strongly?"

Baili Dongjun looked embarrassed: "Ahem... It's nothing, let's eat quickly..."

Wen Yanzhao picked up a steamed dumpling, dipped it in the vinegar dish, put it in his mouth, and began to eat it happily.

Seeing Wen Yanzhao eating with such relish, Baili Dongjun took advantage of his inattention and secretly took a piece of "bacon" and stuffed it into his mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as you put this "bacon" in your mouth, you can smell the strong meaty aroma and the smoked pine and cypress fragrance. The meat is soft, tough and chewy, and the taste is unique.

"Cousin, you're right, this bacon is really delicious!"

Baili Dongjun swallowed a few mouthfuls and then went to pick up the steamed dumplings.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, just as Baili Dongjun's chopsticks were about to touch the steamed dumplings, Wen Yanzhao raised his hand and shoved them aside:

"Don't you want to die?!"

Baili Dongjun was full of suspicion and complained with a pout:

"I just ate your dumplings, why are you so desperate? I also ate the bacon just now. Do you think I'm poisoned now?"

Wen Yanzhao protected the steamed dumplings and scolded:

"It's fine if you only eat that dish of meat; at most you'll just feel cold. But the filling of these steamed dumplings is something special; it's made with the liver and heart of the brown-spotted porcupine from the Jinchuan River!"

"A normal person would die from a piece the size of a pinhead. Do you still want to try it?"

Hearing this, Sikong Changfeng couldn't help but blurt out:

"Brown-spotted porcupine? Could it be that the bacon on that plate is Zi Buyu's meat!?"

Wen Yanzhao's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers: "Look, there are still experts here!"

"Yes, this dish of spring bamboo shoots and snake meat is taken from Zi Buyu, a native of Ailao Mountain in Yunzhou."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Changfeng picked up his bowl and chopsticks, stepped back, and said with horror:

"This... this snake ranks second on the list of poisonous creatures in the world! When I was studying medicine with Master Xin Baicao in Yaowang Valley, I once saw this snake in his book 'Strange and Poisonous Stories'!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun felt sick and started vomiting on the spot with a pale face. However, he retched for a long time but nothing came out.

He shouted in fear: "Cousin, save me... Cousin, I was wrong. Next time, I will never eat anything from your Wen family again!"

Sikong Changfeng patted Baili Dongjun on the back, handed him a cup and a half of spring tea and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, Dongjun. Although this snake is poisonous, it's fine if you only eat its meat. Snake meat is actually the most delicious thing in the world!"

Baili Dongjun was stunned, a little bit unconvinced: "You mean... I won't be poisoned if I only eat snake meat?"

Sikong Changfeng nodded and said slowly, "The book 'Strange and Poisonous Records' details the toxicity of Zi Buyu. I remember it specifically mentioning that this snake is timid and usually only lives in caves."

"This snake has a short snout and is very small, so almost no one has ever been bitten by it."

"Over one hundred and fifty years ago, there was a deserted disciple of the Tang Clan in Shu who traveled the world, collecting all kinds of poisons in the world just to refine the most toxic poison."

"He happened to find this snake in a cave in Yunzhou. After some research, he found that the snake's venom is not poisonous at all!"

Yin Luoxia's beautiful eyes looked at Sikong Changfeng, who was talking freely, with curiosity: "What do you mean, Uncle Sikong?"

"You just said that Zi Buyu is the second most poisonous creature in the world, so why do you say that snake venom is not poisonous?"

Wen Yanzhao said nothing, just stuffed food into his mouth and listened quietly to Sikong Changfeng giving a scientific lecture to the others.

Sikong Changfeng glanced at Yin Luoxia and then explained:

"Yes, this snake's venom is indeed not very poisonous, but if this snake is used together with pufferfish, it will be hundreds or thousands of times more poisonous than pufferfish's poison!"

"According to the book, the abandoned disciple of the Tang Sect accidentally mixed the heart and liver of this snake with that of a pufferfish, and created the most toxic poison in the world at the time, called - Wang Xin Gui!"
