Hearing Ying Zheng's explanation, Wang Jian was amused.
Just as he said, before Meng Fan received the money, he would ensure Ying Zheng's safety.
Recalling this boy's divine power, Wang Jian only then went out at ease.
Not long after, Meng Fan came out with a few dishes.
"Eh? Where's Old Wang?" Seeing that Ying Zheng was the only one left in the courtyard, Meng Fan asked warily.
" He went to find someone to deliver a letter for me," Ying Zheng said with a smile." He will be back soon."”
Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they didn't run away. If these two had sneaked away while he wasn't paying attention, it would be a huge loss!
After some self-reflection, Meng Fan decided to keep a close eye on the two before placing the dishes on the table.
"Then let's eat first. This dish will lose its taste when it gets cold.”Meng Fan sat down next to Ying Zheng and pointed to the dishes on the table.
"This is braised pork, made from pork. Oh, it's pork.”
"Pig meat?" Ying Zheng frowned.”
In his mind, the pork was cheap meat. Not only did it taste bad, but it also had a fishy smell.
In any case, no one in Xianyang Palace would use pig meat to cook.
" Yeah." Meng Fan nodded. He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He chewed and said," The pork I cooked is different from what you think, Old Zhao. It's delicious. Try it if you don't believe me."”
Ying Zheng watched as Meng Fan ate happily, then raised his hand and picked up a piece with a skeptical expression.
After chewing twice, he was surprised to find that there was indeed no stench like in the image. Instead, it was replaced by a unique meat fragrance.
The large piece of meat was fat but thin. It did not feel greasy and was very satisfying.
Ying Zheng, who was used to eating mutton, tasted such delicious pork for the first time, and was immediately fascinated by the taste.
He couldn't help but pick up a few pieces.
Seeing his mouth full of oil, Meng Fan couldn't help but advise,""Old Zhao, although the red braised pork I made is delicious, you can't eat too much. Look at your stomach. You have to take care of your health when you're middle-aged!"
Ying Zheng was already forty years old. Although he was not too fat, his slightly bulging belly betrayed the fact that he had put on weight.
For middle-aged people, being obese was definitely one of the important causes of various diseases.
Meng Fan was still hoping to work with him and earn money together. Old Zhao couldn't do without a healthy body.
Hearing his persuasion, Ying Zheng did not take it seriously.""It's fine. This dolphin meat is so delicious, so I naturally have to eat more. Moreover, I still have medicinal pills with me.”
Meng Fan, who had just picked up a sweet potato leaf for him, paused.""Pills? Was it refined by an alchemist?"
"That's right. Little friend, you know about it too?" Ying Zheng was curious. This elixir was the Longevity Extending Elixir that he had specially asked an alchemist to refine for him.
According to those necromancers, as long as one persisted in taking it, although immortality was difficult to achieve, longevity could still be easily achieved.
Ying Zheng, who had unified the world, naturally could not resist the temptation of prolonging his life. He always carried this elixir with him and took it regularly according to the instructions of the necromancers.
Meng Fan's expression changed. He put down his chopsticks and said to Ying Zheng seriously,""How long have you been taking those pills?"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng also stopped what he was doing. After recalling for a moment, he answered,""Less than a year. Why?"
As a transmigrator, Meng Fan knew what kind of pills the necromancers refined. To put it bluntly, they were small balls made of lead and mercury!
There might be precious medicinal herbs in the pill, but what use would those things be if they were mixed with toxic ingredients such as lead and mercury?
Rather than saying that he would prolong his life, it would be better to say that he was sent away in advance.
"What's wrong? That thing is full of toxic substances. Eating it is harmful to the human body. Old Zhao, if you want to die early, then eat as much as you want.”Meng Fan rolled his eyes and explained the dangers of the pill.
Ying Zheng turned pale with fright." That can't be! His Majesty is also eating these pills. Do those necromancers dare to poison His Majesty?"”
" Hehe." Meng Fan chuckled." I'm afraid the necromancers themselves don't know that the pills are poisonous, but I've done experiments. I caught a mouse or sparrow and fed it one, and it would kill it in less than two hours. If you don't believe me, you can try it out."”
Meng Fan planned to prove it to Ying Zheng with practice.
Letting Old Zhao see the truth himself was much more convincing than his own persuasion.
Although he had not really done any experiments, he was sure that those pills were poisonous. That was enough.
In his plan, he would definitely find an opportunity to persuade Brother Zheng to stop taking those harmful pills after he entered the official career.
The reason why Brother Zheng died so early was related to those alchemists.
If Brother Zheng could live for a while longer, Great Qin might not necessarily perish.
Meng Fan picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the sparrows on the roof.
With his innate divine power and his good aim, he smashed one down in an instant.
The unlucky sparrow was hit in the wing. Although it didn't die, it couldn't fly.
Meng Fan stood up and grabbed the sparrow, then handed it to Ying Zheng.""Here, try it yourself."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng fished out an exquisite small wooden box from his bosom nervously, then stuffed the medicinal pills inside into the sparrow's mouth.
