Two days later, Han Fei came to the Purple Orchid Pavilion with a worried look on his handsome face.
In the room, Lin Xiao took out a box of fragrant tea from his bag. This was the tea leaves that he had picked from the Nine Immortal Caves and had been stir-fried.
During the Warring States Period, tea was usually made with dried leaves. It really had no taste at all.
The boiling water was poured into the wine cup. The cup that was originally used to hold wine had now become a teacup.
"Brother Han Fei, why did you come to me so early in the morning?”
"To be honest, Han Fei got a treasure from Hidden Dragon Hall yesterday, but he couldn't figure out its composition.”
"Oh? Is there anything you don't know? Interesting, take it out."
Han Fei took out a gold ingot the size of half a fist from his sleeve.
After Lin Xiao took it, he weighed it in his hand twice. A metallic feeling came from his palm.
However, the surface of the gold nugget was not smooth. Instead, there were some grain-like things.
Lin Xiao shook the gold on the table a few times, and some white crystals fell from it.
"What is this?"
"It's salt."
He stuck the crystal on the table to his hand and gently placed it under his nose. Then, he took out another one and placed it on his tongue.
A faint salty and astringent taste spread from his taste buds. This was undoubtedly the fine salt from the mainland.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly. Was it salt? The composition of the water could scare the ancient people, but it couldn't scare him.
Before the purification of ancient industrial salt, it mostly contained substances such as calcium, sulfur, and so on. It was yellow-brown in color, melted in water, and burned in fire. It was non-toxic.
However, salt alone could not be made into gold. This required another thing, which was the main body of the Aqua Dispelling Gold.
Of the two, the main component of the exterior and luster was yellow phosphorus.
"Brother Han Fei, was it rainy when the weather changed?”
"Brother Lin Xiao's predictions are indeed divine. That's right, we did encounter a heavy downpour that day.”
After getting Han Fei's answer, Lin Xiao nodded and proved his conjecture.
Under the cloth was a layer of fine salt. When it rained, the rainwater melted the salt on the surface, revealing the soda dioxide inside.
The rainwater reacted violently to produce a white mist, which was water vapor. At the same time, it released a large amount of heat, accelerating the melting of salt.
The yellow phosphorus, on the other hand, burned under the heat and turned into the ghost fire in the soldiers 'mouths, adding a bit of mystery to it.
"How is it? Do you have any leads?"
"I have the answer. Brother Han Fei, don't worry. Ah Ni, bring a basin of water and a candle over.”
Looking at the two things that Lin Xiao told the Startling Salamander, Han Fei was a little puzzled. What were the effects of these things and gold?
However, he still did not open his mouth to ask. When the Startling Salamander brought the basin over, he placed the candle lamp on the table and lit it.
Lin Xiao crushed the gold in his hand into small pieces, smiled at Han Fei, and said,"
"Brother Han Fei, gold, especially pure gold, is relatively soft, but it's extremely hard, so it's not gold.”
"Then what is he!"
"Water Dispels Gold, look."
When Lin Xiao placed a piece of gold into the basin, the already melted salt immediately disappeared. When the sulfur dioxide came into contact with the water, it began to emit white steam.
After a large amount of heat was released, the yellow phosphorus reached the ignition point, and a miracle appeared. The white smoke in the basin was wrapped in the ghost fire.
When Lin Xiao brought the other piece of gold closer to the candle flame, the latter directly turned into green smoke.
“!!! Is this a strange thing in the world? This group of people behind the scenes really planned it flawlessly.”
"Haha, wherever the wind blows, it will definitely leave traces. Even a little dust is no exception. Isn't the fox's tail exposed?”
"Brother Lin Xiao is familiar with thousands of books and is ten times more knowledgeable than Han Fei.”
"Brother Han Fei, you're too modest.”
"Haha, I was just about to ask Brother Lin Xiao what kind of tea was brewed in the cup.”
"This is the fried tea I made myself. Brother Han Fei has always liked wine but not tea. Why don't you change your taste today?”
"Not bad ~"
Picking up the wine glass on the table, Han Fei took a sip and immediately felt a fragrance spread from his mouth to his brain.
Even between breaths, it was as if he was in a mountain forest, pure and quiet.
"Good tea! In these seven countries, no tea could compare to Brother Lin Xiao's stir-fried tea.”
"Brother Han Fei, if you handle this case, you will have to face the forces in the royal court. Be careful of your own safety.”
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from brother Lin Xiao. Tonight, I've arranged to meet up here with Zhang Kai Di.”
"Is it that Lord Zaifu from Han Country? Interesting. Then he would go and take a look. I remember that this Zhang Clan is the fifth generation of the Prime Minister. It's extremely illustrious.”
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Han Fei took a sip of tea and nodded, a trace of unnaturalness in his eyes.
So what if it was the 5th generation prime minister, when it came to this generation, wasn't he also the one who had the power to rule the country and usurp the imperial power?
