Qunfang Tower? Urgent?
Yang Dong couldn't help but frowned. It was getting late at this moment, and it was a busy time over there in Qunfang Building. How could something urgent suddenly come to him?
Could it be that some blind person is causing trouble? Or other emergencies...
"Who is that? What is the specific situation? Has it been told over there?"
The little eunuch who delivered the message took a deep breath and said:
"Mr. Yang, according to the manpower we arranged at Qunfang Building, it seems that they accidentally discovered the plan against you, but he didn't explain the details clearly."
"A plan against me?"
Yang Dong frowned and began to think carefully about whether he had offended anyone recently.
But he soon discovered that there was no way to investigate this matter. Because he offended countless ministers in the court.
Well, in that case, let’s go and have a look.
Yang Dong nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, I understand. You go down first."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shu Mouse beside him.
"Mice, these crops are extremely important. If your men can find them, I will reward you greatly."
Hearing this, Shu Mouse couldn't help but perked up. But soon he also frowned and asked:
"Mr. Yang, you only have a few pictures. It's really hard to find them! I wonder if Mr. Yang can provide some other information?"
When Yang Dong heard this, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
After investigation, he was able to determine that the map of Dazhou and the Blue Star in the previous life were completely different places.
Especially along the coastlines of coastal cities, the gap can be described as vastly different.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
If he were still in Blue Star, the knowledge in his mind might still be of some use. But in the current situation, it has become useless.
"I don't know the specifics, but these things may be bought from merchants in Fanbang. But whether they are available or not, I can't tell."
When Shu Shushu heard this, his face immediately showed a look of constipation.
What Mr. Yang said is as if he didn’t say it!
He sorted out the scrolls in his hands again, and suddenly noticed that he seemed to have seen the round thing on one of the pages somewhere.
But when I think about it carefully, my memory is a bit fuzzy.
"Mr. Yang, this thing..."
Shu Mouse pointed at the oval-shaped crops on the page of rice paper and asked hesitantly:
"May I ask Mr. Yang, is this the rhizome of some kind of plant?"
"Yes, potatoes are all roots! Although the leaves are edible, the taste is not that interesting. I still prefer..."
At this point, Yang Dong suddenly paused.
etc! Why did Shu Mouse know that potatoes are rhizomes and not plants?
No way, am I so lucky?
He couldn't help but gasp, and his whole body suddenly became extremely excited.
At this moment, he even forgot that someone had targeted him just now. Instead, he grabbed Shu Mouse and asked in a trembling tone:
"Mouse, have you seen this kind of crop?"
Yang Dong was so excited that Shu Mouse was shocked. At this moment, he was like a little chicken being pulled under Yang Dong's hand, without any chance to resist.
Mr. Yang is indeed Mr. Yang, and the cultivation of a great martial artist is definitely not something you can boast about!
He thought so and immediately said:
"Mr. Yang, actually, I'm not sure. But I always feel that I saw something like this when I was a child. But this thing seems to be poisonous, and many people who have eaten it have died."
Speaking of this, a flash of deep fear flashed in his eyes.
At that time, he was only four years old and an ignorant child. Logically speaking, children at this age are in a carefree moment.
Keshu Mouse's life was not good. When he was four years old, he experienced a catastrophic year that was rare in history.
After the torrential floods, all the crops originally planted were washed away. Countless people searched for food among the corpses in order to survive. On the way, many people starved to death.
Just as the remaining people fell into despair, they found a plant with white flowers on a mountain.
People ate the leaves and flowers and were surprised to find that the plant was actually edible. So they planned to dig out the roots and dry them to store food.
But then, something terrible happened. Many rhizomes of various sizes were found at the roots of these plants.
Someone was very hungry, so they roasted them on the fire and then ate them.
The roasted roots exude an alluring aroma. However, the good times did not last long, and soon those who could not bear the hunger and ate the roots began to suffer from vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever.
Then, many people died because of it. But those who survived called this kind of thing Devil Fruit. Later, people designated the entire mountain as a restricted area and did not allow others to enter.
"So you all agree that this crop is poisonous?"
Yang Dong's eyes were strange as he looked at Shu Mouse in front of him.
Shu Mouse nodded immediately, with a rare hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"To be honest, Mr. Yang, my hometown is from Yunzhou. When I was seven years old, my father sold me into the palace. I don't know much about what happened to the devil fruit. But..."
"If Mr. Yang needs the Devil Fruit, I will fight to the death to retrieve it for Mr. Yang. But Mr. Yang, this thing is very sinful. If Mr. Yang wants to use this thing to harm others, he still has to be more cautious."
Hearing this, Yang Dong almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
God is so evil in killing, and things like potatoes are obviously great merits!
If this thing were available, the food shortage in Dazhou would probably become a thing of the past.
Thinking of this, he stared at Shu Mouse with a serious face and said:
"Mouse, this matter is of great importance. To be honest, I suspect that this is an extremely high-yielding crop. As for the poison, these roots should have sprouted when you ate them."
"Crops like potatoes are indeed poisonous after they sprout. In severe cases, they can even kill people. But before they sprout, they are not poisonous."
"Is that so?"
Shu Mouse still didn't believe it and racked his brains to recall the scene from that year.
But because the memory is too long, I really can't remember whether those rhizomes have sprouted or not.
However, he still nodded and said seriously:
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang. Of course, my subordinates will help Mr. Yang find this thing."
"If Mr. Yang has no other arrangements, I would like to go to Yunzhou today to retrieve the potatoes for Mr. Yang."
Hearing this, Yang Dong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
This kid, Shu Mouse, is quite loyal to himself. After he comes back, he can be entrusted with important responsibilities.
"Go to Lenggong Manufacturing Factory and bring some detonators for self-defense on the road."
Some people died, but not completely...
