Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

Inside the city.

Chu Wan'er walked side by side with Ling Tian, ​​and kept looking at Ling Tian beside her: "How do you feel now?"

"How about what?"

"Cowpox."

"Not bad." Ling Tian said: "After all, I have used human pox before. This time the cowpox medicine is larger. Although it is uncomfortable, it is still controllable."

"Why didn't I burn you?" Chu Wan'er pouted, and in her heart she couldn't help cursing you as a hooligan and shameless: "All the blacksmiths in the city were arrested last night. It was you who did it, right?"

"How do you know?" Ling Tian was a little surprised.

"Humph."

Chu Wan'er snorted: "Anyway, you better be careful. Don't end up being sold out by others while you're still helping others count their silver."

kindness?

Ling Tian was surprised: "Wife, are you worried about me?"

"Shut up." Chu Wan'er was a little angry: "I don't bother to worry about you. I just don't want you to be cheated by others. Although Ghost Face helped you a lot, strictly speaking."

"There is no such thing as love without reason in this world."

"Why would someone like Ghost Face help you? Isn't it because he thinks you are the easiest to control among the princes?"

"If he uses you to disrupt the national situation of Daqian."

"You really don't have any other options."

"You may even end up being a pawn in someone else's hands."

After Chu Wan'er finished speaking, she saw Ling Tian looking straight at her, and quickly changed the subject: "I just went to the drug testing area and saw that ten people had developed rashes after the drug testing."

"More and more people are watching. Are you sure that cowpox is effective?"

"Don't worry." Ling Tian said confidently: "Cowpox is the most gentle method. Compared with the mortality rate of human pox, cowpox will hardly cause death."

Chu Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and the next second she whispered softly: "I hope so."

"after all!"

"The people of Daqian can no longer bear too many twists and turns."

drought!

Flood!

Locust plague!

smallpox!

It seemed as if God wanted to drive the people of Daqian to death, and with the taxes, the people of Daqian had already been unable to breathe. Chu Wan'er saw it and was actually very anxious in her heart.

It’s a pity that no one can reverse the current situation.

Ling Tian did not explain too much and calculated the time in his mind. This time difference was enough for Dongfang Yue and the others to hide the betrothal gifts. The next priority was to find a way.

Sell ​​those betrothal gifts.

otherwise!

It's all empty talk.

outside the city.

Zhao Shang was served by his attendants, who applied medicine to his wound. Every time they touched his wound, Zhao Shang grimaced in pain and cursed angrily, "Damn Sixth Prince."

"I will cut you into pieces."

Zhao Sihai yelled, "Shut up."

"Did I tell you that this Sixth Prince is deliberately trying to provoke you?"

"You are so nice."

"I was so stupid that I fell for it."

"Don't you really have no brains?"

Zhao Shang was also stunned by the scolding: "Dad, isn't this Sixth Prince too arrogant?"

"He knew that we were the prince's retainers, yet he still treated us like this."

"If this matter gets to the ears of the Crown Prince, what will His Highness think of my Zhao family?"

Zhao Sihai's eyes were gloomy. "Don't think too much. Since this guy doesn't take my Zhao family seriously, how can I let him off easily? I have already told him what happened today."

"Send it back to Kyoto."

"Then His Royal Highness will be furious. Once the Queen intervenes, this idiot will be in her hands."

When Zhao Sihai thought of this, he laughed even more viciously, as if he had Ling Tian in his grasp.

Zhao Shang couldn't help but look forward to it. At this moment, someone came to the door and said, "General, Doctor Li is here with the medicine. He said it was ordered by the Sixth Prince."

"If we refuse to take it, His Majesty the Sixth Prince will not let us enter the city."

kindness?

Zhao Shang was angry when he heard this, but he cursed fiercely: "Since this bastard wants us to take medicine, then let us take it in front of him."

"Command down."

"Let the brothers take their medications normally."

"I also want to tell everyone that this is the Sixth Prince's request. If anything happens, we will go to the Sixth Prince in the future."

Zhao Sihai sneered when he heard this and patted Zhao Shang: "This is more like my son, Zhao Sihai, no matter what happens."

"Don't let yourselves lose your composure."

"This time His Majesty asked you to come to Huaitong. Don't you realize how much His Majesty values ​​you?"

"As long as we completely kill the bandits around Huaitong, we can give an explanation to His Majesty and the Northern Zhou."

"Then His Majesty will surely reward you handsomely."

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Shang nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I will never bring shame to the Zhao family."

Zhao Sihai nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the house.

Huaitong City.

After entering the house, Ling Tian asked Liu Shiyan to prepare paper and pen, and he had been drawing blueprints at the desk. Looking at the small gadgets on them, Liu Shiyan was a little curious.

"Your Highness, what are you painting?"

"Why do I feel familiar?"

Ling Tian finished drawing the last stroke and then smiled cheerfully: "In fact, this is just the simplest crossbow."

Crossbow?

Liu Shiyan widened her eyes and subconsciously covered her red lips: "Your Highness, the shape of your crossbow is too weird, it is completely different from the ones used by Daqian soldiers.

"nature."

Ling Tian said: "Theirs can only be considered a bow."

“It’s hardly a crossbow.”

"Once you see the power of the crossbow, you will understand."

Liu Shiyan was surprised: "Your Highness, look at the crossbow arrow on your blueprint. It's so small, how powerful can it be?"

"You don't understand this." Ling Tian stretched his waist and said, "As long as it can be built according to my drawings, it will be easy to shoot through the target from a hundred steps away."

hiss.

Liu Shiyan was even more shocked at this moment, and she couldn't help but look forward to the power of the crossbow. However, Ling Tian put away the blueprint with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

Since the iron mine has been discovered, it doesn't matter even if it is told to Emperor Wu. As long as he can get enough concentrated ore before the Emperor Wu mines it, he can create a powerful crossbow.

Once assembled.

Whether it is the Eighteen Ghost Riders or the Zhentian Army, their strength will have a qualitative leap.

Who wouldn’t be confused then?

Late at night.

Ling Tian brought the things to the edge of Guan Valley. After a day, Dongfang Yue had placed the betrothal gifts in a safe place, and Black Whirlwind also started training in the valley with two hundred elite soldiers.

As for the ore, Xiang Lin also took over everything and even started digging.

As soon as Ling Tian entered the valley, Dongfang Yue came over and said, "Master."

"Not bad." Ling Tian praised, and then went straight to the point: "Dongfang Yue, how much do you know about Sanshan Town?"

"Not very clear." Ling Tian was not surprised by Dongfang Yue's words. After all, Daqian's communication was not as good as in the previous life. A video could be promoted thousands of miles away. Dongfang Yue wondered: "Why does the master want to inquire about a small town?"

"According to Zhao Kun's previous information, an auction will begin soon."

"Get ready and come with me in two days."

Dongfang Yue was stunned when she heard this, then nodded: "Your Highness, shall I go with you?"

"Of course." Ling Tian said, "By the way, let's go over there and see if there are any good war horses we can bring back."

War horse?

Dongfang Yue was completely stunned. Although war horses were also sold on the black market, they were military supplies after all, and the prices were ridiculously expensive. If Ling Tian were to buy war horses now, he would have to equip the eighteen riders.

It is hard to imagine how many people these eighteen people will be nightmares for in the future.

Ling Tian laughed: "Look at your useless look, isn't it just buying some war horses?"

"Since your Highness has said that you want to make the Eighteen Riders the most powerful fighting force in the world, you will definitely accomplish it."

"otherwise."

"Doesn't this make me a person who doesn't keep his word?"

Dongfang Yue's heart trembled fiercely, and she looked at Ling Tian with more expectation and more confidence in the future.

at the same time.

Daqian Palace.

Liu Jin also delivered the news from the front line to Emperor Wu. When Emperor Wu looked at the letter from Lao Liu, he couldn't help but feel excited. But when he saw the iron ore, his brows furrowed for a moment.

A rare hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Concentrate?

Emperor Wu slammed his hand on the table, causing Liu Jin to tremble with fear: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Emperor Wu glared at Liu Jin, then threw the secret letter to him: "First, take a look at what Lao Liu found."

Liu Jin was also a little confused. Why was Emperor Wu so angry? Could something big have happened? After taking the secret letter and reading it, Liu Jin was also confused.

Iron ore?

It has been mined and many high-quality weapons have been made from it. Looking at the number of those weapons, Liu Jin felt his scalp tingling and his mind began to become active.

His face was full of smiles: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is really our Daqian's lucky star."

“This is more than just using variolation to suppress smallpox.”

"Still in Huaitong, promoting your majesty's benevolent rule."

"We have even discovered refined iron ore. We have fought many battles with the Northern Zhou over the years, but we have suffered from the disadvantage of weapons."

"Now that we have iron ore to make up for it, we can stand firm and remain undefeated against the barbarians of Northern Zhou."

Liu Jin observed the changes in Emperor Wu's expression as he spoke: "Especially since Your Highness told Your Majesty immediately after discovering the iron mine, it seems that Your Highness always puts Your Majesty first in his heart."

The Emperor's mouth twitched: "You bastard, did I ask you about the refined iron ore?"

"I have a sincere question for you, Old Six?"

Gulu.

Liu Jin swallowed his saliva and pretended to be stupid: "Your Majesty, I am ignorant, please speak frankly."

"Humph."

Emperor Wu slammed his hand on the table and said, "You little slave, at this hour, you are still playing dumb in front of me, aren't you?"

"hey-hey."

Liu Jin smiled foolishly: "Your Majesty, I am ignorant and really don't understand, nor do I dare to guess your Majesty's heart."

"It's enough."

Emperor Wu wanted to slap Liu Jin: "You dog slave, your heart is as clear as a mirror. Huai Tong Zhou Ren has always been very close to Concubine Xiao and the prince."

"Zhou Ren is just a small governor. He dared not report the discovery of such a large iron ore."

"That means there must be some other evildoer behind that bastard Zhou Ren."

"Why don't you express your opinion, is it Concubine Xiao or the Crown Prince?"

"Or are other princes backing Zhou Ren?"

"Otherwise, even a small governor like Zhou Ren wouldn't be able to handle a thousand weapons made of fine iron."

"Or is it that someone is ready to make a move and covet the throne of the Great Qian Emperor?"
