Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Xu Qing stood stiffly behind Sheng Changan, wanting to cry but unable to. He didn't know if he could defeat the adult if he really fought.

What surprised him was that Liu Zhao didn't know what he was considering, but in the end he didn't choose to take action.

Liu Zhao really wanted to get rid of this kind of person who challenged his bottom line again and again. He always felt that Sheng Changan was different from other people.

He is too threatening and looks more and more like the person in the prophecy!

After so many years and killing so many people like this, there is still an oversight. Is it really fate that cannot be defied?

There was a hint of ruthlessness in Liu Zhao's eyes. Although the Liu family was now the most prominent among the aristocratic families, when compared with the others, their foundation was still inferior.

Otherwise, he could have taken action now, what a pity...

He had some regrets.

Sheng Changan, who was ready to go, slowly relaxed her muscles. After all, she was just taking a gamble. These aristocratic families were not a united front.

The fact that Liu Zhao was able to endure it just now was obviously because he was estimating something.

But...is it so that the thing in her hand is so attractive to them?

Sheng Changan's lips curled slightly, as if he didn't notice Liu Zhao's struggle. "Lord Liu should know exactly what I want. After all...Lord Liu came prepared."

"Of course I know, but I don't know what price Lord Sheng can offer. These people are the ones I have traveled thousands of miles to specially invite back to the capital."

Liu Zhao looked at the person in front of her with an unfathomable expression. She had to say that this person chose a good time. If she had waited until he had completely taken control of Jingguo, she would have died here now.

Still need to speed up...

"I don't know, but hasn't your Excellency made a choice in your mind?" Sheng Chang'an's expression remained unchanged.

Liu Zhao paused, then suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes blazing. "You're right, then I'll tell you straight away, the formula for the explosives, the magic medicine, and the two Yunfeng upper links in Lord Sheng's hands..."

"Plus my brother," he seemed a little reluctant when he said this.

Sheng Changan raised his eyelids, a little surprised. "My lord, are you going too far? How can those people be compared with these? What you are talking about is what can save my life."

"I don't know about that, but none of these can be missing." After telling him what he wanted, he leaned back in his chair in a relaxed manner.

Originally, there wasn't that much money, but his men kept making mistakes, so he had to find a way to get it back.

He drank a cup of tea leisurely. "Master Sheng, please consider it carefully. I am not in a hurry."

Sheng Changan seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, and frowned, "I need to think about it again."

"Of course." For Liu Zhao, of course she hoped Sheng Changan would consider it carefully, and it would be best to wait until she had arranged everything. By then, she would have no chance to negotiate terms with her.

"No, explosives are the foundation of our survival, we can't give them to them." Upon hearing this, Li Hui immediately protested.

She knew only too well how much of a role explosives had played in the adults' journey.

Sheng Changan knocked on the table with his knuckles slightly bent. "There's no rush for that. Yuan Qi, can you guess the formula for the explosives?"

Li Hui and others suddenly turned around. They wanted to know the formula of the explosives, but they were strictly ordered to keep it secret. Why did the adults ask this question?

"I... roughly guessed it."

Yuan Qi said it lightly, but Li Hui and others were shocked and blurted out "How is it possible?"
