Chapter 166: The background of the fight for the throne of emperor
"dragon!!!"
Master Liao looked at the bald dragon with a horrified look on his face. His whole body went limp and the iron sword in his hand fell to the ground. He was panicking in his heart.
Although he is a Qi Refiner, his cultivation level is not high. He only has the cultivation level of a first-grade baron. In addition, he is obsessed with the art of forging weapons, and he is even more neglected in fighting.
Facing a dragon that could change its size freely, Master Liao knew that he was finished today.
Even calling for the caravan guards outside was of no use. No matter how many people there were, they were no match for the dragon.
Moreover, this is Xidu, and their status is to say that they are spies. They were caught by the master on the spot, and everyone got the stolen goods. His fate can be imagined.
Master Liao's teeth were chattering and he was filled with fear. However, what he was most confused about at the moment was how he could be exposed. Today was his first day in Xidu, so logically it shouldn't be like this.
The bald dragon smiled playfully and asked: "Who sent you to find out the secrets of Xi Kingdom?"
Master Liao knew that he would end badly, but what he was most concerned about at the moment was how he was discovered. If he didn't find out, he would die in peace.
"You...how did you discover me?" Master Liao did not answer, but asked the bald dragon, his eyes full of doubts.
The bald dragon looked at Master Liao jokingly and said with a smile: "My king has seen through you a long time ago."
"Prince Xi?" Master Liao looked incredulous: "Impossible, I have never met Prince Xi, how did he know about me."
"If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do anything about it, do you still remember the ghost in the house?" The bald dragon laughed jokingly.
When Master Liao heard this, he immediately recalled the ghost hiding in the stove and resting during the day. At that time, he was immersed in looking at the iron pot and did not pay attention to the ghost for a while.
It was only later that he discovered the ghosts, and then drove them away. He didn't care at that time, after all, ghosts were naturally opposed to humans.
And even if the kid listened to him, there wouldn't be any problem. He didn't tell too many secrets at that time.
"The kid has tipped off to King Xi. It's impossible. How could a ghost tip off a human being? Is such an obedient ghost still a ghost?"
Master Liao was very depressed. In his opinion, ghosts were very aggressive, difficult to tame, and difficult to be used by others. Even if the ghosts were obedient, their knowledge was low after all. He thought he had not revealed much to the little ghosts, and he did not know.
How did the kid guess it?
The Bald Dragon was actually very surprised at the time. The little ghost detective didn't actually get much information, except that a foreign caravan was very interested in iron tools.
This kind of news is logically normal. Even if the little devils are loyal to the Crown Prince, they usually won't think too much about it, let alone report it.
But the kid reported it!
This surprised the Bald Dragon. He never expected that the Crown Prince would be so thoughtful and even order the ghosts to pay attention to the caravans from other places.
The bald dragon sneered: "The ghosts in Xidu are different from the ghosts in other places, and my king is not comparable to other princes. You should just follow me to see the king."
Master Liao did not resist, he surrendered obediently, and followed the bald dragon towards the witch temple at night.
In the witch temple, Yao Yun and the second elder Wu Tong sat in the temple with heavy faces and said nothing for a long time.
This matter cannot be said to be serious.
After all, it was just a businessman who became interested in the ironware of Xi State. This was bound to happen with the prosperity of Xi Capital's business. At most, it was a matter of time.
But to be serious, it is also very serious. Behind most of the large caravans are nobles from the vassal states, and their actions reflect the motives of those nobles.
The Izumo caravan is suddenly very interested in iron weapons. Does that mean that the Izumo monarch is eyeing iron weapons?
The Izumo Kingdom is countless times more powerful than the Xi Kingdom. How can Yao Yun feel at ease when being targeted by such a force?
From the birth of ironware, Yao Yun had no intention of hiding it. This was a great force that promoted the times. Once it was born, its brilliance could not be concealed.
Yao Yun has no intention of always being self-conscious, but he also doesn't want to be exposed prematurely.
For example, in this situation, he was discovered when he was weak, and then the other party used force to rob him. This was not in his interest at all.
Yao Yun had so many thoughts in his mind that he couldn't come up with a perfect solution for a long time, so he looked at the second elder Wu Tong on the side and asked:
"Second Elder, let's prepare for the worst. What should we do if the iron weapon is exposed? Well, Izumo Country is stronger than us, and we are unable to resist Izumo Country's army."
The second elder, Wu Tong, had a kind face and looked at his king. He was as calm as water and showed no signs of panic. He couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. The king really had the air of a general, not panicking and being calm and collected when faced with difficulties.
Wu Tong speculated in his heart that the king was calm on the surface, but he must have no clue in his heart. After all, he was still a child, a little greener, so this time Wu Tong did not hide his clumsiness or pretend to be confused, but said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Even if the worst happens, it won't matter."
Yao Yun was stunned: "Why did the second elder say this? Our Xi country is indeed no match for Izumo country. They have more than a dozen cities and strong soldiers and horses. We have no chance of winning in a fight."
Wu Tong nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't win at all, so there is no need to fight forcefully. Now that the secret of the iron weapons has been exposed, we can make the iron weapons public, and then the Izumo Kingdom will naturally not send troops to attack us."
Yao Yun was speechless. This statement sounded reasonable, but in fact it was nonsense and very frustrating. If the situation had not deteriorated to the point of being uncontrollable, who would have made this move?
It is true that the Izumo Kingdom will not attack you, but the secret that belongs to Xidu is gone, and the Izumo Kingdom's goal has been achieved.
Yao Yun laughed dryly: "Second Elder, although after the birth of ironware, I had the idea of ​​promoting it to the world and benefiting the people, after all, the time is not ripe now, and we will suffer too much if we are exposed too early."
The second elder, Wu Tong, looked at his king with burning eyes and said with a smile: "The king is so generous and courageous. I feel a little ashamed of myself."
Yao Yun became more and more puzzled: "Second Elder, you might as well say it bluntly, Gu Dang really doesn't know, could it be of great benefit to us to donate the iron-making method?"
Wu Tong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you think there is no benefit in dedicating the method of iron smelting to Zhu Xia? In fact, it is not the case. If the king dedicates the method of iron smelting to the princes of Zhu Xia, then you will be granted a title and land due to your merits, maybe directly
It is the position of marquis, and all other princes recognize it, this is one of them."
"Is there any benefit?"
"Well, the other benefit is even greater. Dedicating the method of iron smelting will contribute to the world. At that time, luck will be added to the king, and the king's prestige will spread to all directions. In this way, you will have the first share to compete for the next generation of Zhuxiazi.
Foundation, this benefit is incomparable to other benefits. The emperor lacked such an opportunity back then, otherwise..."
After listening to this, Yao Yun suddenly realized that he suddenly forgot that this was a mythical world, a world where there were many great powers such as merit, luck, luck, etc., and many benefits could not be seen on the surface.
