Chapter 132 News
Of course, Cheng Fei's idea can only be said to be an ideal waiting to be realized. The current situation is that they cannot expose the formula, or even leak the existence of fireworks and gunpowder.

Cheng Fei imagined a future in which he could use fireworks to dig out a second pot of gold. It was a wonderful future, but he couldn't do it now because Pei Peng couldn't protect him or control the direction of the situation.

So, how can we find a suitable excuse for today's vision, and also give a suitable excuse for the explosion in the princess's house some time ago when the spies come to investigate?
Pei Peng had an idea in his mind, which was to return everything to its original essence - alchemy.

Originally, the matter of exploding the Dao furnace only happened when making alchemy, right?Everyone in the world believes that when the magic elixir is born, visions must appear, and the fireworks can explain it.

Even the identities of the parties involved are very suitable. Some are real Taoist priests brought back by Pei Peng, and Chen Song, who grew up in a Taoist temple.

However, the news that Chen Song was also involved in it, in fact, not many people know about it in the mansion, as long as we sort it out and hide the news, then it is completely unnecessary to bring him in, after all, his identity is sensitive and his role is very important , Pei Peng didn't want to take risks.

The only two things worth worrying about are that, first, the elixir itself, the magical elixir, should have outstanding appearance and magical effects, so ordinary elixirs cannot be used to fool people; second, she chose to use the unfounded elixir. The medicine is shaped into a magical elixir, which must always be dedicated to Pei Wei.

Although it is a trend nowadays, it is more elegant for the nobles to exchange pills in private, taste each other, share the experience of taking it, and even show off the effect of improving physical strength after taking it.

However, if someone really offered elixir to the emperor and made such a big battle, it would definitely hinder his reputation.

If Pei Wei became obsessed with alchemy and the pursuit of immortality because of this, she would be so embarrassed that she would be scolded by literati for generations.

Pei Peng told Xu Shu and the others her thoughts and concerns, hoping that they could also improve their thinking.

Cheng Fei said weakly:
"Why don't you add a condition? For example, uh... If you want to eat this pill, you must first come from the palace? Then no one will try it easily, they can only look at this pill, but they can't touch it. We just need to make the appearance Just be cool."

Xu Shu has no expression on her face:

"Auntie, do you know that the most indispensable thing in this palace is eunuchs? Do you also know that some people like to secretly keep some pretty little eunuchs at home?"

Indeed, Cheng Fei felt a pity. She had forgotten that this was an evil feudal society, and there were many people who could test the medicine for the nobles.

Chen Song suddenly said:
"Auntie, I do have a pill in my hand. It was entrusted by my grandfather to refine it for me by the deceased Master of Zhenyang Temple. It has the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vitality, and it is indeed very useful. There are two pills in total. One pill, and the remaining one is always with me.”

Having said this, he reached out and took out a purse from the jade belt hook, opened it, took out a brocade box, and opened it again. Inside was a black matte pill.

Cheng Fei took a look and said, "Well, this pill looks quite serious. It doesn't have any fancy metallic color. It can be seen that it is indeed a pill for treating diseases and maintaining health."

How could Pei Peng have the nerve to use his nephew's medical elixir, especially when he told me that it was probably the only one in the world.

"Auntie, take it and use it. This is not just your business. If they find out, I will suffer too. My pills are just for my own safety."

Pei Peng understood his hidden meaning, that is, if the Beijing Central side wanted someone to personally make alchemy or explain the composition of elixir, he did not want to be selected, because someone who was familiar with him might expose him in fireworks, etc. Taoist priests who played a role in the invention of things, he did not want them to be selected.

Pei Peng still took the brocade box.

Chen Song felt that he had completed the task, and left with the reason that he wanted to go back to rest earlier.

Xu Shu took the elixir from her mother's hand and looked at it sadly:
"This elixir is enough, but it's too ordinary. Tonight's purple fireworks, but most people in the county have seen it, so it's impossible to make such an elixir. "

She held the elixir with a handkerchief again, and looked it up, down, left, and right. The elixir balls were not even rounded, it was really ugly.

Xu Shu tentatively came up with an idea:

"How about asking someone to carve some dragon patterns on it? Draw a pattern? Use some colored powder ground from a stone? Wouldn't it look better this way? It should be fine if you eat it, right?"

"You can give it a try. Let those Taoist priests open a furnace tomorrow to make some pills, and then try your ideas one by one to see which one is more suitable."

No matter how many things happened the day before, the sun will always rise the next day.

Early the next morning, most of the people recovered from yesterday's shock. After all, if you want to earn money, work, or have children, as long as you have one life left, you have to do these things. They really don't have Use the extra energy to focus on other things.

But those who have spare time, such as officials of Chengyang County, such as foreign merchants, cannot ignore what happened last night.

County Magistrate Zhou and Captain Meng both got Pei Peng's message, although it was a lie at first glance, but they wisely didn't inquire further.

But this was a pain for them, because the people below didn't dare to ask Pei Peng, so they flocked to them to inquire about the news. No matter how much they scolded their subordinates for retreating, they had no choice but to join the team of lying for Pei Peng.

As for the foreign guests, some stayed to continue inquiring about the news, while others left in a hurry holding first-hand news.

Among them, some of the eldest, second and third eldest who had criticized Xu Shu also stayed behind to continue to inquire, some hurried back to send messages, and others were seeing a doctor in the hospital.

Pei Peng listened to the report of how many foreign visitors had left at the city gate so far today, and roughly from which direction they left, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. Sure enough, there are always those who are anxious, and there are always those who Be careful, I don't know how long it will take for the wind to blow to her, she needs to deal with it carefully.

It can only be said that it is a matter of taking one step at a time. Pei Peng feels that she has already made the basic preparations, and it should be no problem to deal with the expected disturbance.

When the wind was blowing in all directions, the people in Chengyang County were restless for two or three days, and then they began to prepare things for the New Year step by step.

The county government has completed the accounting work for this year. Although it is not yet a holiday, from top to bottom, the enthusiasm for work is not too strong.

The same is true for County Magistrate Zhou.

 Ancient literature is really difficult to write... It shouldn't be such a difficult challenge right from the beginning. This article is really bald to write.
