After the Thirteenth Prince handled various things, he did not go to rest immediately. His tired body could not stop his eagerness to go to another place, that is, the Forging Association.

This is one of the oldest buildings in Shunguo. Its predecessor was actually a management place set up on this land that was forged by the previous dynasty. However, behind it is a melting pot, so it is destined to have an extraordinary status.

In the Forging Association, various knocks and hits are endless, but the arrival of the Thirteenth Prince still caused a different kind of movement here, not only because of the prince's identity, but also because of the "black ice hammer" that blinded the eyes of the forging masters.

The Thirteenth Prince has actually adapted to this enviable gaze. After all, he has been like this all the way to the association, but it is a little different here, because these people are real forging masters, and they understand the mystery of "Xuan Ice Hammer".

"Your Highness! Is this a sledgehammer forged with the 'Deep Sea Black Ice'?"!"

"Yes, Xiao Wang can't put it down. This time I mainly used it to show the masters in the association."

People who can flatter him are indispensable. Although the Thirteenth Prince is not very famous, he is one of the princes who come to this association the most. Because of this, the forging masters in these associations are actually very polite and respectful to him. After all, he has entered the ranks of the fourth grade at a young age, and his personal strength is more respectable than his identity.

"The masters are having a meeting in front of you. Do you want to lead you somewhere?"

"It's okay, you're busy with yours, it's not the first time Xiao Wang has come."

"Okay, then you have something to do."

These flattering people actually understand the Thirteenth Prince very well, and of course they know that this highness knows the way, but they still have to say what they should say, such horses are not burdened because this highness is a honest person...

When he walked straight outside the conference room, a follower saw that the Thirteenth Prince came, he quickly informed him and soon went out to greet him.

"I heard that Your Highness just returned to the capital, right? Why did you come to the association directly without taking a break? Your Highness should pay more attention to your health!"

"Don't worry, Masters, Xiao Wang is in a strong body. This time I came here to help Xiao Wang see what the newly forged 'Xuan Ice Hammer' is like? I heard from the words of the President Gu of Chu, it seems to be surpassing the best, but Xiao Wang still knows his own strength, so he is very surprised and not confident..."

After knowing the purpose of the Thirteenth Prince, several masters immediately became the most serious old scholar, and began to circulate and explore the "Xuanbing Hammer". With praise and nodding again and again, the masters well explained what it means to be unable to let go of love.

"Your Highness, the genius, this 'Xuan Ice Hammer' has indeed surpassed the best, and it is not far from the best!"

Hearing this evaluation, the slightest concern in the Thirteenth Prince's heart was relieved, and "as expected" began to fill him. However, the real purpose of his trip was to meet someone, the old man who supported him to plead for his life.

"Xiao Wang finally felt relieved after several masters' identification. However, along the way, he did not see the old man. I wonder where he is now?"

"This..." The masters were a little embarrassed. After looking at each other, a representative still spoke, "Your Highness, in fact, that very knowledgeable old man has not come for several days. He disappeared shortly after you left the capital. What we are discussing is actually a suggestion made by the gentleman before. Unfortunately, he will not come. After we discuss it, there will be no result."

"So that's the case... It's really a pity. Xiao Wang also has some ideas to ask that gentleman. And this time he was able to successfully forge the 'Xuan Ice Hammer' thanks to the old man's support, Xiao Wang had that courage..."

It turned out that the old man mentioned by the Thirteenth Prince and the elders of the Forging Association were a sudden appearance, but he was very knowledgeable. It was him who brought the specific news that Gu Yue melted special metals in Chen State. It is said that this man traveled to various countries and had extraordinary knowledge. Although he had only learned about forging, his wonderful ideas also had great benefits to these masters who only know how to forge, let alone advice to the Thirteenth Prince.

So in a short time, this gentleman was unanimously recognized and respected by the Shunguo Forging Association. That is, after hearing that Gu Yue appeared on the Shunchu border, he specifically approached the Thirteenth Prince and said this to him, "Your Highness, I think Your Majesty is very concerned about forging, and Your Majesty must have heard of the fact that Director Gu of Chu used elixir fire to melt special metals, otherwise he would not concentrate all alchemists in Shunguo to try smelting. But there is a saying that I must say, that is, Gu Yue is a genius, his specialty is not easy to copy, which is why most of the alchemists in Shunguo failed, but Gu Yue may not also fail, so Your Majesty of your country must want to find him to try it. And you must try to fight for this candidate to forge. If it can really succeed, it will be a great wing to your forging career!"

The Thirteenth Prince was actually used to the edge, so he didn't expect much, but this matter was indeed related to forging and was not a very complicated government. Therefore, he himself felt that he might have the strength to compete.

So, this is the subsequent story.

The Thirteenth Prince was working so hard that he wanted to tell the gentleman about his joy and express his sincerity to thank him, but unfortunately he was no longer there...

In fact, as early as the moment the Thirteenth Prince was appointed by Emperor Shun to the border, the mission of this gentleman was officially over, and he naturally "did the matter with his own clothes and his reputation."

All of this was a layout that was decided early in the morning, but the source came from Gu Yue himself.

Naturally, he didn't know that the performance of the bow forged at the gate of Chen State's capital would be taken seriously by Shunguo, which was thousands of miles apart.

It was precisely because of that time that Emperor Shunhuang began to open up his mind and find an alchemist to melt his inventory of "deep sea black ice", but unfortunately it was fruitless.

This gave the "black market" an opportunity to take advantage of, and this led to the layout of the "old man".

The "black market" people had long expected that Gu Yue's appearance would not be ignored by Emperor Shun, but he could not see him personally with great fanfare. This was both shameless and dangerous. However, he couldn't wait to find Gu Yue to melt the "deep sea black ice", so he could not have a person with enough weight to come forward for him. Otherwise, with Gu Yue's wild imagination, no one would know whether he would help. Even with An Long and Yuan Zhi, it would not be possible that everything would be fulfilled.

Therefore, at the beginning, the goal of the "black market" was fixed on the Thirteenth Prince, because although he was a little transparent, he was still a prince. The places where he often appeared were simple, just the Forging Association. More importantly, he was obsessed with forging and knew nothing about other things.

If a prince with a political vision had been replaced, he would have been too late to hide in this matter, so how could he rush to deliver himself to his door? Because what Gu Yue analyzed was facts, and these facts should have been awakened before accepting the task, rather than waiting for everything to be posted and listening to Gu Yue's statement...

Facts have proved that the "black market"'s vision is once again very unique. They are indeed good at playing with people's hearts. In any case, the identity of the Thirteenth Prince is the son of the Shun Emperor has not changed at all. Therefore, Gu Yue will inevitably have some ties in his negotiations with the Thirteenth Prince, so this is the best time to kill Gu Yue!

Unfortunately, they almost made every decision, but in the end they failed.

It is not that the comprehensive situation is not taken into account, nor is it that it should be done better.

The reason is very simple. It is a fantasy to kill people under the noses of the five great masters of the Heavenly Level, but they did create such a slight opportunity, which is no longer common sense to evaluate.

However, the leaders of the "black market" are actually becoming clearer, that is, they have long missed the opportunity to kill Gu Yue. Whether it is because of this guy's life or other reasons, in the future when Gu Yue is becoming more and more powerful, it is even more difficult to kill him...

"This time the matter was done well." In a dark and secluded hut in Shundu, there was no greeting or preparation, and two men in black communicated face to face.

"The subordinates should! But..."

"Are there anything to report?"

"I still haven't achieved my full contribution this time, but the Thirteenth Prince has hooked up with Gu Yue again and brought back the remnants of the Changsun family. Can I still do some work here? Why don't my subordinates stay with the Thirteenth Prince?"

"You will be easily exposed over time. After all, you are not a real forge. The excuse of traveling to the six countries will not last long."

"I understand!"

"But your reminder is not wrong. This thirteenth prince can indeed make use of it, but he will arrange for others to go there later. You can go back and rest first and wait for the next instructions."

"Subordinates obey the order."

Just as the two were about to leave separately, two murderous auras appeared directly beside them, and it was too late to react.

Two daggers without a trace of reflection pierced into the back of the necks of the two without any effort, and even took away a drop of blood when they pulled it out, but the two of them were no longer angry.

Soon after, Emperor Shun's bedroom.

Two black shadows suddenly appeared beside Emperor Shun's bed, but did not alarm any of the guards.

"Your Majesty, the matter has been done."

"Where is the corpse?"

"It's been processed and no one will find them."

"Okay, go back."

"Abide by the order!"

The two black shadows disappeared in an instant, and the most realistic explanation of what it means to come and go without a trace. Shunhuang left alone on the bed without getting up, but turned over and continued to fall asleep...
