The White-haired Queen

Chapter 108 Foreign News

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Wen Lanyue, wearing a simple long dress, walked out of the palace gate gracefully. Her destination was the most famous commercial bank in Beijing. She wanted to learn more about the bank's current situation, especially the accident insurance business that has attracted much attention recently.

Entering the bank hall, Wen Lanyue found that there were many people who came to consult about accident insurance, but only a few actually bought it. Everyone seemed to be lucky, always thinking that disaster would not befall them. However, she knew that the promotion of every new thing would take a long time.

At the same time, Wen Lanyue did not forget to check with Lin Yuanzhi on the production and application of cement and bricks. All matters were carried out step by step and in an orderly manner. The first cement road in Beijing was even publicly displayed as a model road, and its publicity effect was excellent.

Officials from places with more abundant local finances also flocked to the city to observe and learn from the local experience. They hoped to vigorously promote infrastructure construction during their time in office in order to leave behind impressive political achievements.

In addition, the cement kang project is progressing smoothly and is expected to be completed by the end of the month... Just as Wen Lanyue and Lin Yuanzhi were discussing the details of the work, Ma Chao rushed in and got straight to the point when he saw Wen Lanyue.

Ma Chao said solemnly: "After much investigation, we finally got accurate information. Those mysterious people from foreign lands are active in Beicang Country. Their purpose is to find some extremely precious uranium mines!" His voice revealed a trace of anxiety and worry. When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically. You know, uranium mines are an extremely rare resource with a wide range of uses and are invaluable. If they are found and controlled by these foreigners, the consequences will be disastrous. For a while, the hall fell into silence, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with it.

"Uranium ore?" Wen Lanyue was secretly surprised. Although she had been prepared for this, she was still shocked when she heard the exact news. She knew very well the importance of uranium ore - it was the key raw material for making nuclear weapons!

She stared at Ma Chao sharply and asked, "Is this news true?"

Ma Chao nodded without hesitation and responded: "Absolutely true! My informants have always been reliable and will never make mistakes."

Wen Lanyue frowned, thinking that if these foreigners really came for the uranium mine, then the situation would become extremely tricky.

She gave a decisive order: "Notify Dongchen and Nanchen immediately and ask them to make full preparations. At the same time, reveal our identity as envoys and go to the emperor of Beicang to ask him to send more manpower to guard the uranium mine. We must not let it fall into the hands of foreigners."

Ma Chao obeyed the order and left, but Wen Lanyue was still uneasy. She deeply understood the huge energy and potential dangers contained in uranium mines. Although this incident happened in the territory of Beicang, Shangxie and Beicang were adjacent to each other. If the uranium mines were improperly used and caused an explosion, it would have extremely serious consequences.

At this moment, the ease and joy in Wen Lanyue's heart has disappeared. When she visits Gu Changfeng in the afternoon, she will convey this news to him.

Just as Wen Lanyue was about to leave, a figure suddenly entered her sight. The person who came was Wei Guang, the head of the Wenwu Pavilion. You know, as the person in charge of the secret guard assassin training base, Wei Guang rarely shows up in person, and usually transmits information through various channels to carry out tasks. However, today he came so hurriedly and anxiously, Wen Lanyue immediately realized that something major must be about to happen.

Seeing this, Lin Yuanzhi quickly stood up and poured a glass of water for Wei Guang. Seeing Wei Guang drinking it all in big gulps, Lin Yuanzhi comforted him, "Master Wei, even the biggest issues have to be handled step by step!"

Wei Guang frowned and said anxiously, "The assassins in Dongyang heard a shocking news on the black market. Dongyang is preparing to launch a naval battle! And naval battles have always been the weak link of our Shangxie country. How can we not be anxious?"

Lin Yuanzhi's eyes were solemn, and he asked in a serious tone: "Based on this situation, does it mean that the establishment of a navy is imminent?"

Wei Guang nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right! As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army and only a moment to deploy it. Only by building a strong navy as soon as possible can we calmly deal with various possible emergencies."

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show her agreement, and said, "Very good, I will deal with this matter when I return to the palace."

Wei Guang then suggested: "There are some civilian water organizations in the coastal areas, which can be handed over to Su Qing of Wenxin Pavilion to manage. In the territory of Shangxie Country, it seems that nothing can be hidden from the eyes and ears of their Wenxin Pavilion."

Wen Lanyue turned to look at Lin Yuanzhi, who immediately responded, "Okay, I'll contact Pavilion Master Su right away and arrange for his men to understand and coordinate the relevant matters."

Wei Guang continued his analysis, “If one country starts to make unusual moves, we must also remain highly vigilant and take strict precautions against other countries.”

Wen Lanyue agreed and added, "Well, let Ma Chao pay more attention to Xidi's movements later."

Wei Guang clasped his fists and said, "In that case, I'll go first." He turned and walked towards the door.

Wen Lanyue said softly: "Okay, Master Wei, be careful on your journey." She bowed slightly and followed Wei Guang's figure with her eyes until he disappeared from her sight.

After Wei Guang left, Wen Lanyue paused for a moment, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw the mask vendor from yesterday walking towards him. He was holding the hairpin that Wen Lanyue had pawned yesterday, and he was obviously here to exchange for the money for the mask.

Wen Lanyue was delighted and hurried forward. She took the hairpin from the vendor, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was intact, she readily paid the vendor.

The transaction was completed, Wen Lanyue did not dare to delay and hurried to Gu Changfeng's palace. Her steps were hurried, as if she had something important on her mind, as if she could not wait to see someone.

Wen Lanyue arrived at the gate of the palace, and the guard respectfully led her into the palace. She walked quickly to the living room, only to see Gu Changfeng standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly thinking about something.

"Brother Changfeng." Wen Lanyue called softly.

Gu Changfeng turned around, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yue'er, you are finally here."

Wen Lanyue nodded and told him the news about the uranium mine and the Eastern Country. Gu Changfeng's expression became solemn.

"It seems that the situation is becoming more and more complicated." He muttered to himself.

"We must take action as soon as possible." Wen Lanyue said.

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly to show his agreement. After some discussion, the two decided to first ask the Beicang Kingdom to strengthen the protection of uranium mines and at the same time speed up the formation of naval forces in coastal areas.

"If Beicang Kingdom does not cooperate, I will mobilize all my forces. Even if it means destroying Beicang Kingdom, I will ensure the safety of the uranium mine." Gu Changfeng said.

Wen Lanyue looked at him, and a sense of trust surged in her heart, "With you here, I feel much more at ease."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and they both understood that the road ahead was still long and they would need to face countless challenges together.
