Ning Guzhou lifted the exquisite ball in his hand, then closed his palms. The exquisite ball was crushed into pieces and slowly fell to the ground from his fingers.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at Ning Guzhou, and he said expressionlessly: "Excuse me, Prime Minister Jiang, please give him a message. I only have a mother and no father."
"The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable!"
Jiang Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
Ning Guzhou continued: "You also tell him not to use such a clumsy way to establish friendship with me in the future."
"He asked me to return to the capital not because he wanted to pass the throne to me, but because he wanted to kill me."
Prime Minister Jiang denied: "His Highness misunderstood the Emperor. He has indeed missed His Highness very much these years and regretted it very much."
Ning Guzhou said coldly: "His thoughts and regrets are worthless, and I don't care either."
"This exquisite ball is not the same one at all. The one I once accidentally fell into the fire and was blackened on one side."
"Even if the Exquisite Ball is redone, it is no longer the same one it was back then. The relationship between father and son has long been ruined by his plan."
Jiang Xiang's eyes deepened.
Ning Guzhou added: "He put so much effort into making a new exquisite ball and deliberately made it old."
"This kind of thinking is indeed not easy for him, but it makes people feel even more hypocritical and ridiculous."
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and robe, turned around and left.
Jiang Xiang looked at the sawdust scattered on the ground and let out a long sigh.
Ning Guzhou's heart was filled with frost. What Emperor Cheng Ming had done was truly astonishing.
The father-son relationship between them had completely disappeared in the rounds of calculations!
Emperor Chengming had sent people to kill him many times over the years. When he could not be removed, he resorted to co-optation.
This time it was even more ridiculous, as he deliberately made an exquisite ball to play the emotional card with him.
Yesterday those hidden guards wanted to kill him, but today they acted deliberately and cruelly.
In the final analysis, I just wanted to know from his mouth where the smelting technique in the First City was.
At this time, the luncheon was about to begin, and he went directly into Qunfang Hall.
The arrangement of everyone's positions in Qunfang Hall is simple and crude, with those from the same country arranged together.
Qinzhou can also be regarded as Dayan's territory, so Ning Guzhou's seat is also in Dayan's area.
When the eleventh prince saw Ning Guzhou approaching, he called out obediently: "Seventh brother."
Ning Guzhou's face was as cold as frost and he ignored him.
Judging from the situation in the past few days, the Eleventh Prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
When the so-called family affection in the royal family is combined with complicated calculations, family affection becomes extremely weak and ridiculous.
Tang Miaoxin saw that Ning Guzhou was in a bad mood, so she smiled and waved to him: "Prince Qin, do you want to sit with me?"
Because the seats were arranged according to country, only Tang Miaoxin came from the Guiqian Royal Family, so the place next to her seemed a little empty.
Ning Guzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, he stood up and walked to Tang Miaoxin's side, sitting down calmly.
The expressions of Prime Minister Jiang and the Eleventh Prince changed slightly, and the expressions of the royal families and envoys from other countries were also a little subtle.
Ning Changping was stunned for a moment and then said: "I want to sit there too."
After she saw Ning Guzhou sitting down at Tang Miaoxin's side, she couldn't squeeze in even if she squeezed, so she just moved the table and ran there.
Everyone: "..."
Su Letian had just finished his work and came over when he saw this scene and covered his face with his hands, hoping that no one else in the First City would see it.
Unfortunately, Su Yan and Hua Xinyu just walked in at this time.
Su Letian: "..."
He was worried about his future marriage.
When Hua Xinyu came in and saw Ning Changping moving the table, she was a little speechless.
Ning Changping's appearance is nothing like what a princess of a country should look like.
It is said that this girl has a simple temperament and has a good relationship with Tang Miaoxin. She will not embarrass Ning Changping.
Today is Su Yan's birthday. As soon as he arrived, everyone followed the etiquette of various countries and wished him a happy birthday.
Su Yan's expression was very dull, and he said quietly: "Thank you all for coming all the way to wish me birthday."
"When you came to the first city, you didn't treat yourself as a guest. First you destroyed the Kuye Temple, and yesterday you borrowed the smelting technique. I admire you very much."
"Come on, come on, thank you for your hard work, I'd like to toast you all!"
Although he said this politely, he was not polite at all.
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, everyone has a plan in their eyes.
Su Yan's words made them sure that the smelting skills of the First City had really been stolen, otherwise he would not expose himself in public.
Everyone picked up the cups and drank the wine in them.
The envoy of Qi State stood up after drinking and said: "The city lord said that the smelting technology of the first city was stolen. I wonder who did it?"
"The city lord might as well tell the person's name so that we can help the First City find the smelting technique."
Su Yan put down the wine cup in his hand and said calmly: "I'm not sure who stole the smelting technique. After all, there is no evidence in the First City."
"Now that something is lost, it's too late to find it again."
"What I'm worried about is actually another thing. The First City is located in the Yunlian Mountains. It's not easy to get in and out. After years of consumption, there isn't much left of the iron ore."
"The First City has not had much interest in fighting wars in recent years. It only provides weapons to various countries."
"But the smelting technology in the First City has been stolen. If that country is not short of iron ore and has powerful weapons in its hands, something may happen in the future."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, Su Yan was telling the truth.
Although the First City protects its shortcomings, it does not often fight against others due to its special geographical location.
In addition, the population of the First City is not large, so even if it has the most advanced smelting technology in the six countries, it will not pose a big threat to other countries.
The First City has Hulao Pass, a large defensive formation, and all the people in the First City are martial arts. It is also very difficult for other countries to annex the First City.
Because of these reasons, the First City can be as famous as the Six Kingdoms as a city.
But if the smelting technology of the First City is stolen by other countries, it will pose a considerable threat to other countries.
Tang Miaoxin stood up and said: "City Lord, from what you said, it seems that you don't care too much about the loss of the smelting technique."
"I would like to ask, if I help the First City retrieve the smelting book, can I make a copy of it?"
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked at Su Yan. This was what they were most concerned about.
Su Yan said quietly: "The book on smelting has been lost for one night. If someone wanted to copy it, I'm afraid it would have been copied long ago."
"Although smelting is very important to the First City, now that the thing is lost, for the sake of the stability of the six countries..."
"I am here to announce that whoever recovers the smelting technique can make an excerpt."
His meaning was very clear. The First City would not take the initiative to take out the smelting technique, but they would not ask about the lost copy.
