Seeing the spirited Xiao Yu, and then thinking of Bai Can with his arms crippled...
Bai Can not only became a cripple, but also hated her, regarding Chu Tianjiao as a slut, a whore, and the culprit.
In the past two days, Chu Tianjiao has been marginalized in the Bai family. Everyone gives her the cold shoulder and even speaks to her in a sarcastic or uneasily.
This reminded Chu Tianjiao of Xiao Yu, who used to obey his every command.
Now, Xiao Yu is no longer a fool; he has even invented highly profitable seasonings like chicken essence and MSG.
She also knew that Xiao Yu had given the recipes for the two seasonings to His Majesty, who rewarded Xiao Yu with a thousand taels of gold and an additional share of the profits... After this imperial edict was issued, many people learned about this matter.
Everyone knows Xiao Yu is about to make a fortune!
Rich, with a throne, handsome, and with exceptional martial arts talent… At this moment, Chu Tianjiao began to regret breaking off the engagement.
"If we hadn't broken off the engagement back then, I would be a princess now. How could it be Shen Youyu and the others?"
Chu Tianjiao thought to himself.
She looked at Xiao Yu, hesitated for a few seconds, and was about to say something.
However, Xiao Yu took the initiative to speak.
"What a coincidence, Mrs. Bai."
Xiao Yu's tone was mocking and sarcastic as he looked at Chu Tianjiao with a half-smile.
"!!!"
Chu Tianjiao's face instantly fell, and she glared at Xiao Yu...
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Chu Tianjiao returned to his residence, disheartened.
"I was just trying to be nice and say hello, but you're really rude."
Xiao Yu chuckled and then said, "Brothers, let's go."
Then he led the guards toward the outer city.
An hour and a half's journey was nothing to the guards of Prince Xiao's mansion, since they trained every day when they were at the mansion.
Passing through the outer city.
Xiao Yu finally saw the workshop and exclaimed in amazement, "It's almost outside the capital! This workshop is huge!"
This official workshop covers an area of several thousand square meters and looks like a small village from a distance.
Soldiers guarded the area around the workshop.
Xiao Yu led the guards over, showed them the Empress's edict, and then the soldiers hurriedly went to report it.
A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed in official robes and with a fat body came out.
The middle-aged official, sporting a mustache, flashed a fawning smile upon seeing Xiao Yu: "Your Highness, you've arrived. I am Meng Peng. His Majesty's orders arrived this morning, and I have specially reserved a small workshop for you."
"Um."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was good, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Meng."
Led by Meng Peng, Xiao Yu and the others arrived at the workshop.
Then, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.
This so-called workshop was just a few empty rooms and spaces, without any facilities or tools.
"Lord Meng, you're not joking, are you?"
Xiao Yu's tone turned colder as he said, "There's only one furnace here, not even a mold or any tools. How are you going to forge weapons?"
"Your Highness..."
Meng Peng smiled obsequiously again and explained, "That's how it is. Every craftsman comes with a team, and they all bring their own tools... His Majesty personally issued the decree, so even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to cheat! You'll need to prepare the tools yourself, Your Highness... As for the materials for forging weapons, the workshop can provide them."
Looking at his obsequious and timid demeanor, Xiao Yu guessed that this guy probably wasn't deliberately going against him.
But... just because Meng Peng doesn't dare to oppose him doesn't mean that the people behind Meng Peng won't oppose him.
This official workshop is very large; Meng Peng is just a minor official with no real power.
"Hehehe."
Just then, a middle-aged man passing by looked at Xiao Yu and the others who were at a loss and let out a cold laugh.
He laughed and then left.
"who is he?"
Xiao Yu watched the middle-aged man's departing figure and asked curiously.
"He is a disciple of Master Ouye, and his name is Ouyang Ye."
Meng Peng explained in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu understood why the middle-aged man had sneered at him... His Majesty had tasked him with forging weapons, making him Ouyang Ye's rival.
“Lord Meng, such a large workshop cannot possibly lack extra tools.”
Xiao Yu took out two gold ingots and placed them in Meng Peng's hand, saying, "I don't want any tools to be missing here before tomorrow morning. His Majesty personally said that I only need to bring people, and I don't need to worry about anything else."
After saying that, Xiao Yu handed the imperial edict to Xiao Zhan beside him and said, "If we are still short of tools tomorrow, we will hold you accountable and it doesn't matter if we kill a few people."
"yes!"
Xiao Zhan accepted the imperial edict with both hands, staring at Meng Peng, and said.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will go and prepare immediately."
Meng Peng's voice trembled with fright, and he quickly assured him, "This humble official guarantees that not a single tool will be missing or lacking."
After saying that, he carefully withdrew.
"Your Highness, is he capable of any tricks?"
After watching Meng Peng leave, Xiao Zhan asked curiously.
"Won't."
Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "This little trick is just a show of force. Even if he doesn't prepare any tools, we can just go to the outer city and buy them one by one... If he takes the gold and then goes back on his word, with the imperial edict in hand, you can just kill him!"
"That's true."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded.
Xiao Yu looked around the small workshop and said, "Let's tidy this up, since we'll be staying here for half a month."
"yes."
Xiao Zhan nodded and ordered the guards to begin cleaning.
