Chapter 633 Sending a Beauty
Firearms Division.
Emperor Zhou had already left, and only Zhao Shu and Yan Zhuo were left in the living room.
Zhao Shu looked at Yan Zhuo and said with a smile, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to have worked hard for you these past ten days. I'm very curious about the power of this new firearm."
At this point, Yan Zhuo gritted his teeth and nodded: "Your Highness will be able to see it when the time comes."
After Zhao Shu left, Yan Zhuo's body suddenly softened. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to think.
His mind was in a mess and it took him a while to sort out his thoughts.
The letter bears the seal of the patriarch. It seems my adoptive father has woken up. As for my aunt...
I'm afraid my aunt is in great danger.
There was no one to protect him.
He is now a traitor to the Yan family.
The only way is to build cannons and obtain the protection of the Great Zhou.
The Great Zhou would not become an enemy of the Yan family for him, but once he was valuable, the Great Zhou, as a great country, would always find a way to protect him and he would still enjoy endless wealth and glory.
As for the cannon, although he didn't know the specific method of making it, he had the blueprints. He was a member of the Yan family and had talent, so he could definitely make it!
Yan Zhuo convinced himself, took a reassurance pill, felt more energetic, and stood up and walked towards the place where the cannons were made.
As soon as he entered, several craftsmen surrounded him.
"Mr. Yan, you are finally here. We have a few questions we would like to ask you."
"Mr. Yan, we clearly set it up according to the blueprint, but the ejection keeps failing. Can you tell me what the problem is?"
"And this little fire doesn't light up often, and I don't know why."
"Look at this..."
A bunch of questions came at Yan Zhuo, making him dizzy.
He came up with a few excuses to fool everyone and finally got a moment's rest.
This kind of life is too tiring. It is completely incomparable to the previous days of fine clothes, delicious food and beautiful women in my arms.
He missed his previous carefree days.
He really didn't want to be in the Firearms Department.
But thinking of the ten-day appointment, he had no choice but to stay and work with the craftsmen to find a solution.
Zhao Shu returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
He realized from Mr. Yan's hesitation that Mr. Yan was actually a traitor to the Yan family.
He saw it, and his father naturally saw it too.
The reason for making the ten-day appointment was to give Mr. Yan a chance.
After all, the Yan family rules forbid the use of gunpowder in the manufacture of firearms, making it essentially impossible for the Yan family to manufacture firearms. Therefore, even if Mr. Yan was a traitor, as long as he could manufacture firearms, he would be useful to the Great Zhou...
It was because of this that Zhao Shu reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Shu had asked the craftsmen before, and they said that there were only a few problems left to be solved with the cannon, and it should be done in ten days.
However, he still felt that it was safer to do both.
After all, the other party is the young master of the Yan family, the future head of the Yan family, so he must be well-fawned upon...
"Come here," Zhao Shu called the guards, "investigate Young Master Yan and Fourth Master Yan and find out their preferences."
The guards took the order and left.
The next day, Zhao Shu received an extraordinary piece of information, which put an end to his idea of currying favor with the young master of the Yan family.
The young master of the Yan family was named Yan Xiaoduan. When he was in trouble, he was picked up by Tang Li and was said to be a servant, but in fact he lived a life of luxury, just like the young master of a marquis's mansion.
Yan Xiaoduan and Tang Li have a very good relationship!
He and Tangli are in a hostile relationship, and Yan Xiaoduan definitely stands on Tangli's side.
Zhao Shu regretted for the 108th time, why didn't he marry Tang Li?!
If he had Tangli's help, he would have been crowned the crown prince long ago!
"Keep watching. Fourth Master Yan is Young Master Yan's uncle. Pay special attention to his preferences." Zhao Shu said.
Whether it's a preference or a handle, just grab one.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
During these five days, Yan Zhuo was miserable.
Yan Zhuo originally thought that building a cannon would not be a difficult task, but after five days, there was no progress at all.
He realized that he couldn't build this cannon.
He could no longer stay in the capital of the Great Zhou.
Otherwise, by then, the Great Zhou will not protect him, and the Yan family will not let him go!
The only way out is to run.
One day, Yan Zhuo returned to his mansion on the grounds of being too tired.
This mansion was rebuilt according to his preferences, with rockery, flowing water, carved railings and painted buildings, and is extremely luxurious.
Yan Zhuo was reluctant to give up this luxury.
He watched it all with longing; this was his last chance to enjoy it.
He asked the maids to fetch water, took a bath surrounded by beauties, and spent a night of love with his favorite beauty.
The next day.
Before daybreak, Yan Zhuo quietly got up, disguised himself, and stuffed some valuables into his bag...
He looked at the room full of calligraphy, paintings, and vases, each of which was priceless, and he wished he could move them all away.
Unfortunately, he couldn't move it all and could only pick out some small items.
After Yan Zhuo packed up, he quietly walked to the back door, opened it, and was about to go out...
However, as soon as the door opened, he saw a group of people standing outside, led by Zhao Shu!
Yan Zhuo's expression suddenly changed.
Finished!
"Mr. Yan, where are you going?" Zhao Shu asked with a forced smile.
Yan Zhuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I... I'll just go out for a walk..."
"Mr. Yan, do you still need to carry a bag when taking a walk?"
Yan Zhuo was speechless and couldn't utter a word.
Zhao Shu glanced at the sky and said, "It's going to rain soon. Besides, there are only four days left until the cannon is fired. Mr. Yan should stop taking a walk and go to the Firearms Department to work early."
As soon as Zhao Shu finished speaking, two guards walked up and roughly dragged Yan Zhuo inside.
Zhao Shu followed behind.
He has people in the Firearms Bureau, and this mansion also belongs to Zhao Shu, and it is full of his people.
Therefore, everything Yan Zhuo did was under his nose.
He knew that five days had passed and there had been no progress in the artillery.
I also know that Yan Zhuo wants to run away...
When Zhao Shu found out, he became furious.
He is going to be killed by this liar!
So he brought people to arrest him!
Yan Zhuo had deceived him and made him serve him like a lord, spending so much money and manpower, and now he wants to run away?!
"Mr. Yan, time is running out. You've rested enough. You should hurry back to the Firearms Department." Zhao Shu said with a sinister look in his eyes. "There are still four days left. I want to see the artillery, otherwise, it will be your life."
Yan Zhuo's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Yan Zhuo was sent back to the Firearms Department.
Zhao Shu returned to Prince Rui's mansion, feeling almost mad with anger and a headache.
At this time, the servant came to report that the beauties were ready.
Zhao Shu raised his head and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A few days ago, the guards came to report that Mr. Yan Si liked beautiful women.
Zhao Shu catered to his tastes and collected many beauties.
"Send it to Mr. Yan Si." Zhao Shu said.
If he could please and control Mr. Yan Si, he would have another way out.
A trace of calculation flashed in Zhao Shu's eyes.
