Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I made this big thing in secret throughout the whole process. Even His Majesty didn't know about it."
"It's to give you a huge surprise."
When Xiao Chuyun heard what Zhao Hao said, his expression froze.
Immediately, he frowned and said, "Brother Hao, what did you say?"
"You built this sky-blasting cannon and even hid it from His Majesty?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, not only your majesty, but even the craftsmen who made it themselves don't know what they made."
Zhao Hao had a proud look on his face. He was quite satisfied with the manufacturing process of the sky rocket and the level of confidentiality.
However, he was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Chuyun's serious expression.
"Brother, what's wrong?" he asked with some confusion.
Xiao Chuyun glared at him, pointed at him, and shook his head helplessly.
"You are so clever that you end up making mistakes!"
Zhao Hao was stunned, not quite understanding what Xiao Chuyun meant by this sentence.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Xiao Chuyun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
“You…”
Zhao Hao sat up a little straighter and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Chuyun said: "You made this sky-blasting cannon, which is a great achievement."
"But you should never, ever, hide this from His Majesty!"
"You can hide it from anyone in the world, but you can't hide it from Your Majesty."
"What will His Majesty think of you if you do this?"
"If you're hiding something this big, are there other things you're hiding as well?"
"Once His Majesty has such an idea, do you think His Majesty can still trust you completely?"
"How can you, such a smart person, make such a low-level mistake?"
Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Brother, you don't know the inside story."
"The manufacture of this sky-blasting cannon is extremely difficult."
"I'm not even sure if it can be built."
"After making it, I'm not sure whether it can be used."
"My original intention was to wait until it was built and fully verified before reporting to Your Majesty."
"This way, we won't be celebrating in vain..."
Xiao Chuyun immediately waved his hand, not letting him continue, and interrupted: "This is the big problem."
"Whether it can be done or not, you should tell His Majesty first."
"Brother Hao, do you know what is most important to us as subjects?"
Zhao Hao was about to speak, but stopped himself and simply shook his head, wanting to hear Xiao Chuyun continue.
Xiao Chuyun said: "The most important thing is your Majesty's trust. As long as your Majesty trusts me, there will be no problem no matter what I do."
"But once His Majesty loses trust, everything we do will be treading on thin ice."
"There is an old saying: Living with a king is like living with a tiger. You must have heard of it, right?"
"Don't say you are just his Majesty's beloved minister. You are his Majesty's husband. You must remember this."
Zhao Hao frowned slightly and said, "It's not as serious as Big Brother said, right?"
He really had no selfish motives in making this sky rocket.
If there is any selfish motive, it is only the establishment of the Anbu.
Moreover, this is just a small selfish motive.
Generally speaking, he mainly collects information from all parties.
In the end, it still helps to do big things.
Seeing that he hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Chuyun immediately asked anxiously: "You still don't think it's serious?"
"What can I say about you?"
After a pause, Xiao Chuyun took a deep breath and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Zhao Hao really didn’t think how important this was.
He immediately smiled and asked, "What do you want to bet on, big brother?"
Xiao Chuyun said, "I bet that His Majesty will definitely look for you to adjust the personnel of the smelting workshop."
"Now, whether it's Wang Mengyu or Zheng Zhiqian, they are all your people."
"I bet that His Majesty will definitely adjust the two of them."
"As for the time, it could be recently, or it could be after the war with Vietnam has had some success."
"Do you dare to bet?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Okay, then tell me, what is the bet?"
Xiao Chuyun said: "No need for anything else, just store the first batch of dry wine in the cellar and give me a few dozen jars."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he was speechless and said, "Brother, your appetite is really too big."
"One mouth can hold dozens of jars!"
Xiao Chuyun said, "Don't cry about being poor. I have already found out that you have at least hundreds of jars of your first batch of dry wine."
Zhao Hao laughed and shook his head: "Okay, let's bet!"
He didn't think that Jiang Wan'er would really do that.
If she did so, it would be a clear signal to him that she no longer trusted him.
With Jiang Wan'er's intelligence, she shouldn't take this step.
The two chatted in the woods for a long time and only rode back when it was almost curfew.
It was very late, and he did not go to Yongning's place, nor did he sneak over to his aunt Jiang Yiren's place.
Instead, he spent the night in the study.
The next morning, Eunuch Qu came to convey the emperor's order, asking him to enter the palace.
He quickly packed up and followed Eunuch Qu into the palace.
Jiang Wan'er did not mention the smelting workshop, but asked him to secretly hand over the thunder bomb to Qing Xing, who would then secretly transport it to the border of Yue State.
Waiting for the arrival of the army at any time.
