Chen Bu's refusal made Su Zan smell something unusual.
It’s just a quarry, what’s there to not see?
Things like dirtiness and messiness are obviously excuses.
The loud noise reminded Su Zan of a rumor.
Rumor has it that Yun Zheng can summon thunder from the sky to help him fight.
Before this, Yun Zheng summoned heavenly thunder to help him in the battle and easily broke through the Turtleback City.
He didn't believe that Yun Zheng would really summon heavenly thunder to help in the battle.
He always suspected that it was the secret weapon in Yun Zheng's hands.
The thought of a weapon that could easily break through a solid city is frightening.
"It's okay, it's okay."
...
...
Su Zan smiled, "Although I am not a military commander, I have been to the battlefield and have seen all kinds of dirt and mess. I am indeed curious about your country's quarrying methods. Sir Chen, please take me to have a look."
"this……"
Chen Bu was even more embarrassed and immediately changed the subject, "It's almost noon, the envoys should be hungry, right? Let's go back and have dinner first!"
Having said that, Chen Bu was about to pull Su Zan back to the office.
However, the more Chen Bu did this, the more curious Su Zan became.
If you don't go now and wait until the afternoon, I'm afraid what you see will be different.
"Are you hungry?"
Su Zan glanced at the Xiqu envoys around him.
“No, no…”
"I haven't digested what I ate this morning yet, how can I be hungry?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking of walking around to help digest the food!"
The envoys from Xiqu shook their heads to indicate that they were not hungry.
"Since no one is hungry, let's go take a look!"
Su Zan proposed to Chen Bu again.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk his responsibility, Chen Bu simply said, "To be honest, the prince has ordered that no one other than you is allowed to enter the quarry! I really can't take you to the quarry to check it out!"
"In that case, forget it!"
Su Zan forced a smile, but there was a hint of disappointment on his face.
Chen Bu moved Yun Zheng out, so even if he wanted to go see it, he had to give up the idea for the time being.
"Thank you for your understanding, Prime Minister!"
Chen Buru was pardoned, "Let's go back to the office first!"
"Okay!"
Su Zan nodded in agreement, but reluctantly looked in the direction where the loud noise came from.
On the way back to the office, Su Zan still felt extremely unwilling.
When he thought of the legendary summoning of heavenly thunder to help in the battle, he felt like a thorn in his back.
Yun Zheng is their biggest enemy!
Yun Zheng has a weapon in his hand that makes them afraid, and he must find out what is going on!
Otherwise, if they don’t take any precautions when they fight with Yun Zheng in the future, wouldn’t that be equivalent to handing over all their cities to Yun Zheng?
No matter what, we have to find out what kind of weapon this is and how powerful it is.
…
After lunch, Yun Zheng took Yun Jin for a stroll in the backyard.
After being taught a lesson in the morning, Shen Nianci practiced martial arts obediently, and Qi Yan also recited poems obediently in the pavilion. Yun Cang wanted to play with the two of them, but was driven away by Yun Zheng.
Looking at Yun Cang playing with the train alone, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
This kid doesn't know how lucky he is.
When he was four or five years old, he had to study and learn martial arts, so he was very busy.
Just as Yun Zheng was lost in thought, Xin Sheng came over quickly: "Your Highness, Xiqu Grand Chancellor Su Zan requests to see you!"
"Su-chan?"
Yun Zheng was slightly surprised.
Why is this guy here?
Do you want to drink by yourself, or is there something else?
Are you here for the quarry matter?
He had already received the news sent by Chen Bu, and he knew exactly how Su Zan and the others reacted after hearing the explosion in the quarry.
After handing Yunjin to Xin Sheng, Yun Zheng quickly came to the main hall.
At this time, Princess Shen Luoyan was receiving Su Zan on behalf of Yun Zheng.
Seeing Yun Zheng, Su Zan immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite, Prime Minister."
Yun Zheng smiled, "I didn't know that the Prime Minister had come to visit me. I am sorry for not welcoming you. How rude, how rude!"
"Your Majesty is too polite."
Su Zan smiled and said, "You came here uninvited, which is rude of me."
"That's too much."
Yun Zheng laughed, and then instructed Shen Luoyan, "You go to the backyard and supervise those children! I'll chat with Da Xiang."
"good!"
Shen Luoyan stood up and said, "Prime Minister, I'll be leaving now!"
"Princess, take care!"
Su Zan bowed slightly.
"I said I would go find the Prime Minister later, but I didn't expect the Prime Minister to come first!"
Yun Zheng invited Su Zan to sit down again, and asked with a smile: "I wonder why the Prime Minister came to visit you?"
Su Zan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is extremely smart. You should know why I am here, right?"
What the hell?
Are you really here about the quarry?
Yun Zheng was surprised, but pretended to be confused and said, "I have been preparing gifts for Saint King Sangjie this morning and have just returned to the mansion. I wonder what the Prime Minister means by this?"
Don’t you know?
Su Zan snorted in his heart.
Most likely you are just pretending to be confused, right?
After cursing Yun Zheng in his heart for a while, Su Zan told him what happened in the morning and said frankly that he wanted to go to the quarry to take a look and hoped that Yun Zheng would agree.
"Is there no need to go then?"
The smile on Yun Zheng's face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "To be honest with you, the quarry involves some of my confidential information, so it is not convenient for you and the envoys to go and check it out."
This situation is a little different from what he thought!
He thought Su Zan would secretly send someone to investigate!
He was ready to capture the spies in exchange for food, but Su Zan was actually trying to play it safe with him?
This guy doesn't play by the rules!
Su Zan seemed to have guessed that Yun Zheng would refuse, and he said, "I won't look at you for nothing! Your Majesty, please name a price!"
Yo huh?
This guy has a very high level of awareness!
“This is really inconvenient!”
Yun Zheng retreated to advance, looking embarrassed.
"It is said that the prince can summon thunderbolts to help him in battle. In my opinion, the thunderbolts mentioned in the legend are what the prince used to mine rocks, right?"
Su Zan was not in a hurry and just continued to test.
“Haha, this…”
Yun Zheng laughed, "Prime Minister, do we have to talk about these things? I have already said that these things involve my great secrets. If you insist on talking to me about these things, I don't know how to respond!"
Isn’t this old guy too direct?
Just don't beat around the bush?
Su Zan said seriously, "I am indeed very curious about this thing! I want to see how Your Majesty uses this thing to mine rocks! Your Majesty, please tell me, what exactly do you need me to give to satisfy my little curiosity?"
"This request from the Prime Minister really makes this king very embarrassed!"
Yun Zheng sighed softly, "In the eyes of the Prime Minister, this is just a matter of hearing a noise! But the Prime Minister doesn't know that this noise will cost me one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver!"
One million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver?
Su Zan's old face was filled with astonishment, and he looked at Yun Zheng in shock.
This is not the way you brag, right?
Just with a loud bang, it cost one million or eight hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if Yun Zheng had a mountain of gold in his hand, he couldn't withstand such a toss!
blackmail!
Yun Zheng is clearly blackmailing!
