Let's leave aside what happened to the Yang family for now.
After Tang Jian and Lin Zao left the Yang family, they did not go back directly, but were summoned by someone sent by the prince.
When Tang Jian and his companion were taken to the private room at Zuixiao Tower, both Prince Cheng and his wife were there, but Xiao Bao was nowhere to be seen. It was likely that Prince Cheng had important matters to discuss, so he sent Xiao Bao back.
I just don't know what he wants to talk about.
Why did you call her over too?
"You've arrived. No need for formalities, please sit down!"
When the two men entered, King Cheng dismissed their formalities before they could even speak.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"I've called you two here today because there are three very important things I need to tell you!"
Lin Zao glanced at Tang Jian and saw that he was sitting calmly. She guessed that he must know something. Was it something related to them?
King Cheng was quite impressed to see that the two men were waiting for him to speak calmly.
"The first thing is that Ren Tianci has replied to me!"
Lin Zao sat up straight immediately. Ren Tianci, Aunt Ren's son? She was very curious to know what he would say!
"My second brother is furious that we made the hemostatic powder first, and he has already sent people over here! Ren Tianci will also be coming with my second brother's men. We'll see what happens then!"
"Now that the news of the hemostatic powder has spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, I'm afraid that Ganzhou will be filled with guests from all directions this time, and I suspect that none of them are here with good intentions."
At this point, King Cheng looked at Tang Jian and said:
"How are the arrangements for General Tang's city defenses going? We must be on high alert this time and absolutely not let those people disrupt Ganzhou City!"
"Your Highness, I have made all the necessary arrangements and will not allow them any opportunity to take advantage of the situation!"
"Good! I trust you to do things right! I estimate they'll all be here in about a month!"
Lin Zao then realized that Tang Jian had been busy preparing defenses for Ganzhou City recently, indicating that they had been on guard for some time.
"So Ren Tianci is still working under the Second Prince?"
Prince Cheng smiled mysteriously, "He's known as a brilliant strategist! My second brother must have suffered heavy losses this time!"
Lin Zao was finally relieved and could give Aunt Ren an explanation!
"The second thing is also related to Madam Tang."
Lin Zao looked at King Cheng with a puzzled expression.
"I must thank Lady Tang for her generosity; the steel for me has been forged!"
"real!"
"Hahaha, I never expected it to actually work! Madam Tang's contribution is of course the greatest!"
King Cheng laughed heartily!
"Now that we have this powerful weapon in hand, what worries do we have about the peace of the world!"
Lin Zao truly never expected that steel could actually be forged using such ancient techniques. Indeed, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
"However, the output is still too low!" King Cheng sighed with some regret, then looked seriously at Tang Jian.
"General Tang, listen to my command! I order you to select an elite force immediately, equip them all with new weapons, and train them into a highly capable army that can fight a hundred men each!"
Tang Jian rose and knelt down, "This humble general obeys your command! I will certainly not fail Your Highness's trust!"
"Good, good! Get up! I only trust you!"
King Cheng personally helped Tang Jian up, then sat him down again. His expression suddenly turned serious, and he slowly said:
"Regarding this third matter, it is the most troublesome and also the most important! The drought has spread to the dry state!"
King Cheng sighed and continued:
"I have sent people to inspect the villages and towns under Ganzhou and the surrounding areas many times. Many places have already shown signs of water shortage and interruption, and most of the crops in the people's fields have withered and died!"
The people present fell silent. Natural disasters and man-made calamities always bring devastating harm to people, and in the end, it is still the ordinary people who suffer.
