But this matter was brought up by Wiggins.

To be honest, Roning was only polite to the father, and there was no deep family affection between them.

Normally, we each live our own lives, and when we meet, it is enough for us to maintain basic courtesy.

If he were asked to do something troublesome, Roning would still need to think carefully about it.

The development affairs of Wubei Territory had been planned two months in advance, and the implementation of the plan could be left to the officials led by Wilson, so he didn't need to worry too much.

If it is in Wubei, the soaked papermaking materials have not been processed yet.

If we delay too long, we don’t know if these materials will go bad.

On the other hand, Wiggins saw that Roning did not directly refuse, so he thought that the latter was considering it, so he quickly followed up and persuaded: "Although you have never been to Chishan Town, there will be a knight team leading you, so you don't have to worry about such trivial matters."

"When I was as young as you, although I was not as strong as you, I had already traveled around and gained more knowledge. Now that you are a high-level peak knight, you should go out and have a look."

He said: "Seeing and hearing more can help you gain a lot of knowledge, which will also help you govern Wubei Territory."

I don't think Wiggins can come up with such a profound theory, but he has been out there for so many years and hasn't gained much knowledge.

Luo Ning smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing, but asked: "I wonder what identity my father has in asking me to do this?"

Wiggins didn't understand what Ronin meant by this, "What do you mean?"

Brayton blinked and looked at his brother. He thought his brother would agree directly.

Diane put down the fork in her hand and looked at the father and son. She could tell that Roning didn't want to go, at least not casually.

Instead, Lu Lans raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine.

"If you want me to go there as your father, I have to think about it carefully. After all, it takes a lot of time to go to Chishan Town, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with in Wubei Territory. I may not be able to get away."

"However, if you are the first heir to Wubei Territory, I think you need to discuss this with Grandpa first."

Wiggins thought Roning wanted to say something, but it turned out to be these two questions.

"Why bother your grandfather with such a small matter?"

Wiggins shook his head. "As for the waste of time you mentioned, it's much closer from Wushanbao to Chishan Town than to your Shanlin Town. Even if you carry supplies, a month is enough for the round trip plus the time you stay there."

Over the years, Rulans has handed over many matters to Wiggins and never asks about small matters.

Wiggins thought asking Roning for a favor was a trivial matter, so he didn't ask Rulans' opinion.

"A month won't delay you much," he added.

In fact, what Ronin meant by his second sentence was that Viscount Wubeling was loyal to Rulans, not Wiggins who had not yet inherited the title of Marquis, and he had to listen to the arrangements of the Marquis himself.

But the Earl of Wushan City didn't understand this meaning at all.

Just as Roning was thinking about how to respond, Lu Lans coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Tomorrow is Ronin's birthday."

"I know father."

Wiggins came back to his senses, "It will take a few days to prepare the supplies. I didn't ask him to leave tomorrow."

However, Lulans did not respond to this sentence, but looked at Bretton.

"Breton prepared a dagger made by himself for Ronin, and Diane prepared lunch and dinner for Ronin in the past two days. I wonder what birthday gift you, as a father, have prepared?"

"this……"

Wiggins scratched his head awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly: "I was too busy these two days and forgot about it. But don't worry, Roning, you will definitely get the gift!"

Lu Lans stood up and said calmly: "Fathers and sons should also keep in touch. You can't always ask your son to do something as a father, especially on a day like tomorrow. Things that should be prepared in advance should be prepared in advance."

"Luo Ning is not only your son, but he is also the lord of Wubei Territory, and he is also a nobleman of neither small nor large status. Nobles emphasize the exchange of interests. If you ask him for help, you must prepare some generous gifts."

As he spoke, Most had already pulled out his chair.

Dai Anni stood up and said with a smile: "As long as you like it."

Wiggins curled his lips, "Okay father, I get it."

He turned to look at Luo Ning: "Tell me, what gift do you want? But we have to make it clear in advance, I don't have much money to give you."

This was said very directly, and he didn't treat Roning as an outsider at all.

"Talking about money hurts feelings."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "But I haven't thought about it yet. I'll give you an answer when I think about it."

"Okay, as long as you think it through, I can do it for you anytime."

What Luo Ning hadn't figured out was not just what gift to ask for, he hadn't decided whether to go or not.

He currently only knew two things about Chishan Town.

The first is the Fifth Knights stationed at Wushanling, led by Corrine Hansen;

The second is that there is an iron mine in Chishan Town...

Luo Ning had an idea. If he could occupy a certain share of this iron mine, then Wu Beiling would not have to buy ore from outside.

With a stable source of iron ore, various agricultural tools can be quickly manufactured through blast furnace ironmaking, greatly advancing the agricultural progress of Wubei Territory.

Not only that, the knights and horses of Wubei Territory can also get stronger defense.

It's a pity that although Wiggins agreed to give a gift, if Roning wanted to ask for a share of the Chishan Town iron mine from him, he probably wouldn't get it.

"What would you like to order?"

Luo Ning left the restaurant with such doubts.

"Brother, do you want to have a sparring match before bed tonight?" Bretton followed.

"sure!"

Roning came to his senses and immediately followed Bretton to the square behind to do some after-meal exercises.

After Roning left, Wiggins couldn't help complaining.

"This kid has become so powerful that he doesn't even know how to be polite when talking to me."

Thinking back to the time, he could scold or beat Roning whenever he wanted, but now he doesn’t dare to do that.

For one thing, he lost a leg and became weaker;

On the other hand, Roning showed extraordinary strength at the beginning of the year, and even Lei Sen was defeated by him, which made Wiggins dare not treat him as before.

"Breton said that he felt that Ronin had become a bronze knight."

"What?"

Wiggins was so shocked that the juice in his mouth almost spurted out. "Is this an illusion? An 18-year-old bronze knight? He's better than my brother?"

Diane watched the servants clear all the plates from the table. She leaned back in her chair and sighed slightly.

Perhaps, Roning is really stronger than Grahams, the former genius of Wushanling.

"You should think carefully about what gift to prepare for Ronin tomorrow."

She smiled and said, "Otherwise, I don't think Luo Ning would be willing to make the trip for you."

"Humph, if he doesn't want to go, then don't go. Can't I find someone?"

Having said that, Wiggins still got up and went to the study to look for something rare and valuable to give to Roning. (End of this chapter)
