Chapter 128

Allergies were something that could be mild or severe.

A mild case was just a rash, but a severe case could lead to death.

There were many types of allergens on Earth, and there were countless of them.

Metal allergies, pollen allergies, mango allergies, dust mites allergies.

There were even rubber allergies. Such people had a hard time.

The Medical Daily of the United States listed the four most dangerous allergens, including alcohol, shellfish, and peanuts.

But in general, allergies were also differentiated by race and region.

For example, people in coastal areas were generally not allergic to seafood.

But in inland countries far from the sea, people who did not eat seafood were more likely to be allergic to seafood.

Asians were prone to allergies to pollen and dust mites.

Westerners were far more likely to be allergic to peanuts than Asians.

So in American dramas, peanut allergies often appeared. Even if one touched a little peanut powder or peanut oil, they would have bumps all over their body and their face would swell like a pig's head.

The domestic audience felt that it was too exaggerated, but it was true.

In reality, there were even cases of people who kissed their boyfriends and died of peanut allergy, just because their boyfriends had eaten peanut oil food.

There was also a deadly allergy source, which was the juice of shellfish.

And this time, the Western businessmen who came to Xu Qianqian to purchase were all white people, and they were from inland countries.

The probability of allergies to peanuts and shellfish was much higher than that of Asians.

And Shen Lang's two dyes, especially the rainbow dyes formula, contained as many as dozens of substances.

Shen Lang had added a total of nine types of allergens to the people of the Western Region.

There were more than three kinds of shellfish juices.

Peanuts didn't appear in ancient China until the Ming Dynasty, but in this world, peanuts appeared about three hundred years ago.

So, peanut oil was also added to the formula.

If Xu Qianqian had enough time, she could ask the craftsmen at home to carefully screen these formulas, such as removing certain substances, or making certain changes in the proportion of the formula.

But … what she lacked the most was time.

Since the big workshop was burned down, the delivery date was extremely tight, and it was like a sword hanging over her head.

She spent a lot of money, hired three times the number of workers, worked day and night, and finally made all the silk within the deadline.

She was worried that Shen Lang would plot against her, but all her attention was on Fade.

All the precautions were based on the possibility of the silk fading.

Dye fading had always been the most fatal flaw.

Therefore, she asked the master craftsman to take a hundred samples and conduct a violent experiment.

The whole purpose was to see if the color would fade, but it didn't.

As for allergies? She really didn't have such a concept.

How many people in ancient times knew about allergies?

As for why the dyers weren't allergic?

Hehe …

Artisans who were allergic to dyes had long been eliminated.

These people were the lowest rung of society. A rash on their body was nothing to them.

To put it in a sad way, allergies were also a disease of the rich.

In our country more than ten years ago, apart from fatal drug allergies, who cared about common allergies?

For these low-level craftsmen, not to mention allergies and rashes, even if they were burned by fire, even if a layer of their skin was scalded off, it was nothing.

Therefore, allergies would not be discovered in the workshop.

Even if there were occasional cases of allergies, no one took it seriously.

However, if they appeared on the body of a noble, it would be a big deal.

The ruthless Shen Lang added eight or nine allergens that were targeted at the white race of the Western Region in the formula.

There would always be one that was suitable for you.

There were dozens of businessmen present and their dozens of lovers. Even if there was only a 5% chance of being affected, it was already a big deal.

These businessmen, who lived like princes, all had delicate skin and tender flesh, and their skin was like cream.

This allergy was simply too painful.

Rashes appeared one by one, and the itch couldn't be stopped at all.

In a short period of time, they scratched and bled.

The most fatal one was a businessman from the Western Region with an aquiline nose.

His entire body was swollen and red, and he could no longer breathe. Even his throat was swollen.

Because in the room just now, his lover was wearing a rainbow-colored silk dress. It was too seductive, and she was in a translucent state. He couldn't help but kiss and bite through the dress. He used his teeth to bite the rainbow-colored silk and chewed it in his mouth. Then, he bit his woman.

This person was very fanatical. Countless women had been ravaged by him, and most of them were in so much pain that they wished they were dead.

It was precisely because he was the wildest that the consequences were also the most fatal.

"Uh … Uh …"

The aquiline nose businessman desperately covered his throat. He was in great pain, and his eyes were bloodshot and almost popped out.

He looked exactly the same as if he had been poisoned.

"Ah … Ah …"

Dozens of businessmen present cried out in alarm.

This group of people enjoyed wealth and glory, and they cherished their lives the most.

Even if most of them were fine at all, they were scared out of their wits.

"This silk is poisonous, poisonous …"

Just now, everyone was fine. After they changed into the new clothes given by Xu Qianqian, this incident happened.

Therefore, everyone present concluded that the silk must have been poisoned.

Even if there were less than 10 people who were allergic.

But the consequences … were already fatal.

Finally!

The aquiline nose businessman suffocated to death.

The doctors present tried everything they could to save him. They pinched his philtrum and gave him ginseng soup, but they couldn't save him.

"Ah … Ah … Someone died."

"The silk of the Xu family killed someone."

These Western Regions merchants and their lovers had no time to care about taking off all their new clothes under the watchful eyes of the public.

Compared to one's own life, what was shame?

"Refund, refund."

"Triple the deposit."

"Life compensation!"

All the businessmen surrounded Xu Qianqian in the middle, as if they had gone crazy.

Seeing all this, Xu Guangyun once again fell into a state of numbness.

Last time, when the big fire burned down the big workshop, he had already vomited blood.

After that, he struggled to hold on.

Because he borrowed Lin Mo's workshop, his daughter, Xu Qianqian, couldn't do it alone, so he also had to be present to supervise.

These days, he had also exhausted his efforts. He ate little and slept little.

What he did was to help the Xu family get through this fatal crisis and keep the golden brand.

But now, everything was over!

Completely over!

Shen Lang's figure appeared in his mind again.

It must be him again!

Although this time, Xu Guangyun still didn't know how Shen Lang did it.

But he was 100% sure that it was Shen Lang's evil trick again.

"Shen Lang, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Xu Guangyun's vision darkened, and he completely fainted.

And this time, he couldn't wake up even if he was in a coma.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Xu Qianqian's mind was roaring.

Her whole body lost consciousness again, as if she was completely isolated from the world.

It was as if everything that happened in front of her had nothing to do with her.

When a person was in extreme pain and was hit to the extreme, the body would trigger its self-protection mechanism.

The whole person seemed to be contained in a layer of shell, unable to respond to all stimuli from the outside world.

How much effort had she put in these days?

She continued to live in the Lin family's workshop every day.

She did it to help the Xu family get through this crisis, to keep the Xu brand, to make her fiancé and father-in-law not disappointed in her.

Now, everything was completely destroyed.

Everything was completely destroyed.

The past glory of the Xu family was like a dream.

After a long time, Xu Qianqian felt a warmth behind her.

Someone held her back, very strong hands.

She couldn't help but look back and saw Zhang Jin's eyes full of pity.

"Honey!"

Xu Qianqian finally couldn't help but cry out.

At this time, the Xu family was in chaos.

They were so angry that they planned to burn all the silk in the mountains.

They surrounded Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian, asking for money and compensation.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Jin's scalp went numb.

What he didn't want to see the most happened.

Seeing that his fiancée, Xu Qianqian, was about to be drowned by the group of Western Region businessmen, he rushed over and rescued Xu Qianqian.

"Someone, call some soldiers over to suppress the scene."

In the Sky-sea Pavilion.

Shen Lang, the scumbag, was having too much fun.

What he was holding in his hand was the secret manual of Meteor Fall.

It looked like a brick, but it was made of jade.

Shen Lang had seen so many movies and novels, but it was the first time he had seen a secret manual that looked like a brick.

This secret manual was very precious. The South Sea Sword King rose because of it, and since then, this set of swordsmanship was known as the treasure of the Sky-sea Pavilion.

But Shen Lang found that the professors of the Sky-sea Pavilion were very indifferent to it.

It was as if it was no different from other secret manuals. It was so easily placed in the hands of Shen Lang.

The name of the female scholar, Yu Niang, was actually Zhang Yuyin.

Among the scholars of the Sky-sea Pavilion, she was the youngest and prettiest.

Therefore, she was also the most popular.

The reason why everyone called her Yu Niang was because she always called herself Lao Niang.

At this moment, Yu Niang sat next to Shen Lang. The table was filled with all kinds of snacks, more exquisite than the Xuan Wu Mansion.

At first, Shen Lang ate them himself. Later, Zhang Yuyin fed him with her slender hands.

"Brother, guess how old I am?" Yu Niang asked.

Shen Lang looked at her plump and beautiful face, tilted his head and thought for a while. "Twenty-three and a half."

It was accurate to one decimal place. This kind of nonsense seemed sincere.

"Hahaha …" Yu Niang laughed and said coquettishly, "Nonsense, I'm only eighteen."

Shen Lang was stunned.

Huh? Sister, you know this too?

A few of the Sky-sea Pavilion professors looked at the couple and sighed in their hearts.

People are not what they used to be.

You, Zhang Yuyin, said you were eighteen eighteen years ago.

You're still eighteen now.

What's your usual attitude towards us?

Bossing us around and bossing us around.

You're the belle of the Sky-sea Pavilion. You're the lowest-level scholar, but you're like a boss.

You're always mean and don't know what manners are.

Now that a slightly handsome young man has come, you're like this.

Where's your dignity and dignity?

But how can you blame Zhang Yuyin?

In the Sky-sea Pavilion, she interacted with old men every day. It had been more than ten years.

Of course, there were young people, but they were all low-ranking apprentices. As a scholar, she had to be high and mighty.

Now that such a handsome young man had come, she couldn't help herself.

If it were a man who hadn't seen a young woman for more than ten years, he would fall in love with a sow.

But Zhang Yuyin was already very restrained.

She really looked like she was eighteen years old. Her snow white hand supported her chin as she stared fixedly at Shen Lang. It was as if every single word he said was especially interesting, causing her to be fascinated by it.

An old scholar could not stand it anymore. He coughed and reminded her to pay attention to the Sky-sea Pavilion's nobility and dignity.

"Cough, cough, cough …"

Zhang Yuyin turned her beautiful face and said with a murderous look, "Do you have tuberculosis? Go away. "

Then she turned back and said sweetly, "Brother, what you said is so interesting. Go on, go on …"

Then she picked up a piece of pastry and put it into Shen Lang's mouth. Her fingers accidentally touched Shen Lang's lips again.

"Brother, you actually shouldn't have borrowed the Meteor Fall sword technique." Zhang Yuyin said, "After the rise of the South Sea Sword King, many martial arts grandmasters have borrowed it, but none of them could decipher it. One grandmaster even stayed here for a year and a half, but he still couldn't decipher it. "

Shen Lang asked, "Who is this grandmaster?"

Zhang Yuyin said, "Zhong Chuke, a very powerful swordsman. He left not long ago."

Oh, how embarrassing.

He had never heard the grandmaster mention him.

No wonder he kept saying that Mulan would never be able to break Tang Yan's Meteor Fall.

The female scholar Zhang Yuyin said, "More than a hundred years ago, Qiu Ju, that adulterous couple, took more than a decade to decipher the secret manual of Meteor Fall. It's a pity that they didn't leave behind a copy, otherwise I would have shown it to you."

Shen Lang looked at it carefully.

It was as if he was studying it casually.

However, his x-ray eyes and AI were fully utilized to their fullest potential.

He scanned it layer by layer, recording all the words, pictures, and Qi paths in it.

Once again, he gasped in amazement. It was truly exquisite.

There were 230 layers on the inch-thick jade, which meant that the words and pictures on each layer were less than 0.15 millimeters.

He could not imagine how the first South Sea Sword King, Qiu Ju, could decipher it layer by layer.

When Shen Lang heard that Qiu Ju and his wife spent more than a decade, he thought it was too long. But now he felt that it was amazing to be able to decipher it in less than a decade.

No wonder the people in this world who specialized in deciphering secret manuals usually did not know martial arts.

Because it was already amazing to be able to decipher two or three secret manuals in their lifetime. Where would they find the time to practice martial arts?

Seeing that Shen Lang was especially serious, Zhang Yuyin did not say anything. She just looked at him quietly.

Every two minutes, an exquisite dessert would be put into his mouth.

Shen Lang was quite familiar with this scene.

In high school, the prettiest girl in the class often looked at him in a daze.

A full hour later.

Shen Lang completely analyzed every layer of the secret manual "Meteor Fall Outer" and recorded it in the AI.

His guess was indeed correct.

This secret manual was divided into two sides, one Yin and one Yang, reinforcing and restraining each other.

Next, Shen Lang returned the secret manual to its original owner and put it back in its original place.

Under Zhang Yuyin's reluctant gaze, Shen Lang said goodbye and left.

Immediately, the old scholars present breathed a sigh of relief.

The handsome guy finally left.

Shen Lang and Mulan once again rode north, returning to Xuanwu City.

Of course, he still rode with his wife and was protected in her arms.

Suddenly, Mulan said, "Husband, you have a woman's fragrance on you."

After sending hundreds of soldiers to protect the Xu family, Zhang Jin rushed to Jinhai City without stopping.

He told his father, Zhang Chong, everything that happened to the Xu family.

Zhang Chong did not speak for a long time.

A moment later, Shu Tingyu, the envoy of the Yinyuan Association, came to visit.

"I have a younger sister who is as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon. She and Young Master Zhang Jin are a match made in heaven."

"After they get married, my family's dowry will be 100,000 gold coins, without any supplementary conditions."

"We, the Yinyuan Association, are very low-key and cannot interfere with the court of the State of Yue. But we can still shut some people up when the governor is seeking the position of commander-in-chief in Yanzhou. "

Zhang Chong and his son remained silent.

Shu Tingyu said indifferently, "You have to hurry. According to common sense, a person's suicide time is within 48 hours of collapse. After this time, no matter how desperate they are, they will not want to die. "

These words hit the nail on the head.

Shu Tingyu said, "Actually, my younger sister is a cousin. Her family is in the spice business. They are a spice magnate in the north of the State of Yue. They have nothing to do with the Yinyuan Association. Chi Shanren, Governor Zhang should have heard of him. "

Of course he has heard of him. He is a tycoon who is far more powerful than Xu Guangyun.

Shu Tingyu said, "The Chi family also has a lot of business dealings in Yanzhou. Their foundation is quite deep. Governor Zhang will be able to use them when you go to Yanzhou to be commander-in-chief in the future. Yanzhou is not like Xuanwu City, it is much more dangerous. "

Zhang Chong closed his eyes for a long time.

After opening them, he said indifferently, "I will send someone to the Chi family to propose."

Then, he said to Zhang Jin, "Go, our Zhang family will not break off the engagement."

Zhang Jin's face twitched, "Father."

"Go," Zhang Chong said, "The siege of Xuan Wu Mansion is imminent, don't delay it."

In the middle of the night, Xuanwu City, Xu family.

Xu Qianqian fell ill on the bed, thin and pale.

Zhang Jin sat at the head of the bed, looking especially gentle, his eyes full of love.

"Zhang Lang …" Xu Qianqian's tears gushed out again, crying, "It's all my fault for being too eager. Sister Chunhua actually warned me to be careful, but I was blinded by greed. I shouldn't have dyed all the silk purple and iridescent, otherwise I wouldn't have been harmed by Shenlang. "

Zhang Jin said softly, "Alright, since it has already happened, there is no point in regretting it. Don't think too much, rest well."

Xu Qianqian's eyes were full of tenderness, "Zhang Lang, if you want to break off the engagement, I can understand, I will publicly announce that it is all my fault."

Zhang Jin said, "Don't be silly, how can I break off the engagement?"

Then, he reached out and stroked Xu Qianqian's hair, "Qianqian, don't think too much, no matter how big the matter is, sleep it will be fine."

Xu Qianqian said gently, "Thank you Zhang Lang, you did not abandon me at the crucial moment. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, I will definitely become the best wife in the world. "

Zhang Jin patted her shoulder, saying gently, "Sleep well, if there is anything else we can talk about, I will go see father-in-law."

Xu Guangyun also woke up.

He seemed to have fallen into a state of madness.

He looked at Zhang Jin in front of him, not as if he saw his son-in-law, but as if he saw his savior.

"Jin 'er, we have not lost, we have not collapsed yet."

"Those Western Region merchants, just return the deposit to them, don't even think about compensation, this is our territory anyway."

"Those silk can still be used, sell it to the pirate king Chou Tianwei, others do not want this batch of silk, he will definitely want it."

Zhang Jin held a bowl of medicinal soup, saying, "Father-in-law, don't think too much, drink the medicine and have a good rest."

Xu Guangyun said hoarsely, "Your father is seeking the position of commander-in-chief in Yanzhou, doesn't he need money? Xuan Wu Mansion is about to be finished, when the time comes, we will sell the thirty thousand mu of mulberry fields, exchange them for gold coins for your father to seek an official position. "

"This time it must be Shen Lang who harmed us, isn't Xuan Wu Mansion going to be finished soon? My dear son-in-law, when the time comes, you must give Shen Lang to me, I must skin him, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones to ashes. "

"I must kill Shen Lang and his family!"

Xu Guangyun suddenly sat up, his eyes full of endless resentment and hatred.

If Shen Lang was in front of him, he would definitely turn into a beast, rush up to Shen Lang, eat him, and tear him to pieces.

Zhang Jin's eyes flashed with a trace of sarcasm, then he brought the medicinal soup to Xu Guangyun's mouth and said, "Father-in-law, drink the medicine first."

Xu Guangyun said, "My dear son-in-law, you must promise me, after the Kim family is destroyed, you must give Shen Lang to me, I will skin him in front of everyone."

"Okay." Zhang Jin said, "Drink the medicine first."

Xu Guangyun picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Then, he slammed the bowl on the ground.

"Shen Lang, you little bastard, I will not stop until you are dead. I will tear you into pieces!"

Xu Guangyun roared, his body trembling violently.

Then, he was suddenly stunned.

There was a cramp in his stomach.

"Puff …"

A mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed out.

Then the second mouthful, the third mouthful.

Black blood flowed from his nose, ears, and eyes.

He was really bleeding from the seven orifices.

Xu Guangyun looked at Zhang Jin in disbelief and used the last of his strength to say, "The medicine, the medicine is poisonous?"
