Sun Pingyi came back very quickly, and there was another person who came back with him.
When they saw the person coming, Xiao Zongshui and Cheng Yong turned aside and immediately fell to the ground.
"The director of Workshop No. 97 of the Casting Department of the Ministry of Industry pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Cheng Yong, Lieutenant of Huben Military Academy, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Everyone, get up. No need to be polite."
The visitor said calmly.
Sun Pingping looked at Zhou Shu with a proud look on his face and said, "Your Highness Princess Wuyou, the Great Sikong of the Forging Department, is this enough, right?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. He really didn't know that the Great Sikong of the Forging Department was actually a woman.
Da Sikong is the boss and top leader of the Forging Department. She has the final say over the entire Forging Department.
Not to mention Zhou Shu, even Xiao Zongshui, the boss, would never be able to meet Da Sikong. Between the boss and Da Sikong, there are still three levels of Yuanwailang, Langzhong and Sikong.
Zhou Shu looked at the Great Sikong of the Forging Division mentioned by Sun Pingping, who was also Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyou. She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair face and a pair of beautiful eyes with clear black and white.
As clear as autumn water, the ears, nose, eyebrows, and mouth are all dripping with powder and rubbed into cakes. They are made of beautiful jade, the green mountains are far away, and the red cherry blossoms are about to burst.
Just as Zhou Shu was looking at Princess Wuyou, Princess Wuyou was also observing him. She was a little puzzled that this apprentice was really brave enough to dare to look directly at her like this.
"I am Yin Wuyou." Princess Wuyou said, "Sun Pingping has already told me about your matter, how do you want to prove it to yourself?"
Xiao Zongshui lowered his head and complained secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that Sun Ping Gong could actually call Princess Wuyou!
This is really troublesome!
He didn't want to cause trouble for himself, but he didn't expect that it would end up being more troublesome!
"Can you make the decision in this matter?"
Zhou Shu did not answer the question.
Yin Wuyou said, "I am the Great Sikong of the Weapon Forging Department. If you can prove that you are a genius in Weapon Forging, then I can prove for you that you are not a traitor."
"Not only that, if you are really a genius in making weapons, in this Weapon Making Department, I can make you reach the sky in one step."
Reach the sky in one step?
Thirty years less struggle?
You are not an aunt...
"Okay!"
Zhou Shu said.
"Sun Shenquan suspects that I am an accomplice of the traitor. So, Sun Shenping, let me ask you, why are you going all out to search for the traitor at this time?"
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Pingping and said.
Sun Pingping glanced at Yin Wuyou, who looked calm and said, "There is nothing that cannot be said. If you can prove your innocence, then it doesn't matter if you know. If you can't, you can't leak the secret."
If you can't leak the secret, you will definitely die.
"A traitor has stolen the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben Sword. Every one of our Daxia weapons is a national secret. Anyone who dares to take advantage of them will be killed without mercy!"
The delicate little girl suddenly released a fierce murderous aura. The sharp contrast made Zhou Shu slightly stunned.
Only then did he realize that he couldn't see through this little girl's cultivation!
With a chill in his heart, Zhou Shu subconsciously restrained his breath.
However, he overthought it. Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu is a supreme body-refining secret technique, completely different from the way of cultivation in this world.
His divine power is all in his physical body. Even people with cultivation levels much higher than him may not be able to see through his strength.
"You are saying that the traitor's purpose is to steal the secret recipe for the Huben knife, right?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"This time I stole the Tiger Blade, but it won't be the same next time. Every weapon in our country is not coveted by others."
Sun Pingping said, he was not stupid, he immediately retorted.
"We won't talk about it in the future." Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Let's just say this time, the traitor's purpose is to steal the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben knife, right?"
"That's right."
Sun Pingdao.
"If I were a traitor, there would be no need to steal the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben Knife."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "Because I forged the Tiger Ben Sword!"
"What you have done is amazing."
Sun Pingping blurted out, and suddenly he realized, "What do you mean?"
"I am the creator of the Tiger Blade. Do you think I need to steal it?"
Zhou Shu said.
Several eyes fell on Xiao Zongshui at the same time.
"He is a weapon-making apprentice in Workshop No. 97. The weapons he developed are naturally the results of Workshop No. 97——"
Xiao Zongshui said weakly.
"It makes sense."
Yin Wuyou suddenly smiled, "Master Xiao, you are really good at it."
Xiao Zongshui was sweating profusely and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Forgive me, Da Sikong!"
Yin Wuyou snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Shu.
"The Tiger Ben Knife was developed by you alone?"
Yin Wuyou said.
"Natural."
Zhou Shu nodded.
"Master Xiao, is what he said true?"
Yin Wuyou said.
Xiao Zongshui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a trembling voice, "I don't know."
"Don't know?"
Yin Wuyou's handsome brows furrowed.
Xiao Zongshui trembled and said quickly, "The secret recipe for casting the Huben Sword was indeed provided by Zhou Shu, but I don't know whether he developed it alone. Moreover, I learned the secret recipe for the Huben Sword from him.
I bought it out in my hand, and I didn’t violate the rules of the Forging Department!”
Damn Xiao Papi, even now, he still doesn’t forget to stab himself!
Zhou Shu was filled with hatred. What did Xiao Zongshui mean by this? Do you suspect that the secret recipe for the Huben knife is also part of Kurou's plan?
Is the secret recipe for making weapons bought out?
Just used the one hundred taels of silver?
Yin Wuyou was noncommittal. She stopped talking to Xiao Zongshui and looked at Zhou Shu.
"I tentatively believe that you created the Huben Knife." Yin Wuyou said, "But since you sold the secret recipe for the Huben Knife to Xiao Zongshui, I can't say anything more."
Zhou Shu is a weapon-casting apprentice in Workshop No. 97. It was indeed him who gave the secret recipe for the Tiger Ben knife to Xiao Zongshui, and he did receive one hundred taels of silver from Xiao Zongshui.
From a procedural point of view, Xiao Zongshui did nothing wrong. This is not the first time in the history of the Forging Division, and it will not be the last time.
Even if Yin Wuyou is the Great Sikong of the Weapon Casting Department, she can't change this situation. After all, she can't keep an eye on the Weapon Forging Apprentices in the workshop.
"It doesn't matter, it's just the Tiger Blade, I don't care."
Zhou Shu waved his hand magnanimously, "The matter has been explained clearly. It can prove that I am not a traitor."
"Even if you are cleared of the suspicion of being a traitor, you only developed the Tiger Blade and did not forge a high-quality weapon. Why do you call yourself a genius?"
"Admit it now, you are bragging!"
Sun Pingping's words made everyone roll their eyes. Aren't you being arrogant?
"Okay, Sun Ping Ping, stop messing around."
Yin Wuyou scolded, "That's the end of the matter. Zhou Shu has nothing to do with this matter. You can't target him anymore. Let's all disperse."
Yin Wuyou waved his hand, turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
Yin Wuyou stopped and looked back at Zhou Shu, "What else do you want?"
Grand Sikong of the Forging Department, Her Royal Highness the Princess!
I wonder if I will have the chance to meet such a big shot in the future. How could Zhou Shu miss this opportunity?
Now that things have become clear, he and Xiao Zongshui have fallen out.
If you still stay in Workshop No. 97, wouldn't that give Xiao Zongshui a chance to deal with himself?
If that time comes, unless I use my strength to deal with Xiao Zongshui, I will not have a good life.
Today, although there is some trouble, it is also an opportunity!
"Something's wrong!"
"Da Sikong, I also have a secret recipe for making weapons. I wonder if you are interested?"
Zhou Shu said loudly.
Yin Wuyou frowned lightly, her beautiful eyes twinkling.
"New weapons?"
"If I'm not ignorant, I should be." Zhou Shu said solemnly, "This weapon of mine is stronger than the Tiger Blade!"
"Is there a finished product?"
Yin Wuyou said.
"No, but I can cast it on site."
Yin Wuyou stared at him, her clear eyes seeming to see through Zhou Shu's thoughts. After a long time, she smiled and said.
"Zhou Shu, right? If you can really forge a new weapon, and its power is not inferior to the Tiger Ben Sword, then I can agree to you on one condition."
Yin Wuyou seemed to have guessed that Zhou Shu wanted to use this weapon as a stepping stone to gain something.
But she doesn't care, as long as Zhou Shu can really forge a new weapon that is not weaker than the Tiger Ben Sword, she doesn't mind giving Zhou Shu some benefits.
Zhou Shu glanced at Xiao Zongshui, and Xiao Zongshui raised his head. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.
A vague murderous intention flashed in Xiao Zongshui's eyes. He should not have been merciful in the first place. He should have killed people and silenced them from the beginning!
Xiao Zongshui forgot, without Zhou Shu, why would he give Cheng Wanli three thousand Huben knives within three months?
Without three thousand Tiger Ben knives, how could he gain Cheng Wanli's friendship?
Zhou Shu felt baffled. From beginning to end, he never offended Xiao Zongshui, and Xiao Zongshui even benefited greatly from him.
It's good now, he also has murderous intention towards himself!
Just because he didn't die as obediently as he thought?
The human heart is so true!
Zhou Shu sighed in his heart and felt more and more that he had to leave Workshop No. 97!
With his current strength, it is not difficult to kill Xiao Zongshui, but what is difficult is the follow-up.
After all, Xiao Zongshui is an official of the imperial court. Even if his official position is only about the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, things will become more serious after his death.
"Da Sikong, I only have one request, and that is that I want to be transferred to another workshop."
Zhou Shu said.
"No problem."
Yin Wuyou said, as the Chief Sikong of the Forging Department, such trivial matters are just a matter of her words.
"As long as you can do it."
Yin Wuyou added.
"Since I came to this world, I have never failed in forging weapons."
Zhou Shu said proudly.
"Da Sikong, please wait a moment. In two hours, you will be able to see a really good knife!"
