The so-called dinner party, Li Xiang has great expectations, this comes from Lin Qiaoqiao's high-level hospitality, in her mind, even her own subordinates set up a banquet is so extravagant, as the master of Changnan, Lin Wushuang will not be compared to his own subordinates.
However, this dinner party really disappointed her, of course, she didn't come to satisfy her appetite, but, on this small table, what does it mean to have four dishes and one soup, is this Lin Wushuang pretending to be simple, or does he not plan to respect himself as the messenger of the third prince at all, if it is the latter, this is not good news for Li Xiang, which means that the other party does not plan to fulfill the contract, and plans to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
"Try these small dishes I made myself, although they don't look good, but I think they taste good."
Lin Wushuang looked at the charming woman in front of him, with a smile on his face, these dishes were really made by him, but this was some of his practice when he took care of Qian Ningji recently, but at the moment, there should not be many people who are qualified to eat the dishes he made in person, in his opinion, this is already the greatest courtesy to the other party, whether the dishes are delicious or not is secondary, the important thing is to see who makes it.
"I didn't expect General Lin to have this elegance" Li Xiang smiled, and was not polite, in the Zheng Dynasty, in the entire Dayue, there is no saying that a man can't cook, if this man can farm and cook, this shows that this man has the ability.
One is chewing slowly, the other is sipping the wine slightly, everyone knows that this is just the beginning, for the Ming people like to talk about things at the wine table, Li Xiang now knows enough, but he is not in a hurry.
"The matter of the Dongfan fleet, Da Zheng Shuishi really did not disappoint me, I represent the Dongfan Sailor up and down, toast the girl with a cup" Lin Wushuang picked up the cup.
"This cup, I'm afraid General Lin can't respect it" Li Xiang put down his chopsticks, and said that Lin Wushuang couldn't respect it, but he picked up the wine glass and drank it lightly: "The Dongfan Water Division is the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the concubine's understanding, although General Lin was born in the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty now, if General Lin represents the Dongfan Water Division, I'm afraid it will make the concubine a little confused."
"Then I will represent Uncle Dingyuan, my father-in-law, thank Da Zheng Shuishi for reaching out to help" Lin Wushuang smiled: "No matter who you represent, as long as you express their gratitude, isn't it right?"
"General Lin is really good at talking, if that's the case, I'm afraid that the concubine will have something to say, I'm afraid I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but if I don't say it, I'm afraid that the concubine will go back, and I will be punished by the third prince, and when the time comes, I don't know if General Lin will ease his cheeks for the concubine."
"It's okay, thanks are thanks, empty and white-toothed thanks, I'm afraid that the third prince doesn't care" Lin Wushuang laughed, this woman, but her speech was very slippery, which reminded him of those extremely glamorous company female white-collar workers on TV, no matter how nice they say, people's purpose is, in the final analysis, just to achieve the purpose in their hearts.
"Then I'll just say it straight" Li Xiang smiled amorously: "I don't know when, General Lin arranged for the concubine to go to the Guangping Mine to have a look, and the concubine has admired it for a long time."
Li Xiang didn't mention those firearms and military funds, this kind of thing, although as a woman, she can take care of it, but since the other party has no intention of repaying the debt, it is too childish to say it at the moment, what matters is her current request, if the other party can agree to this request without hesitation, those things, the other party will not care about it.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to lead the girl to take a look" Lin Wushuang pondered: "What I promised you, I will do it after all, but I'm a little curious, the girl can get the respect of the third prince so much, and I think she is also the third prince's henchman, I thought that if this kind of thing happened, the third prince would send someone who knew more about these things, such as Fang gradually leaving his brother, they stayed in Guangping long enough" "What General Lin said, the concubine body is a little unclear, the concubine body is just an idler in the third prince's mansion, since the third prince wants the concubine body to come over, does the concubine body dare to excuse himself or something, as for what General Lin said, Fang gradually left the brother, the concubine body has never heard of it, but the concubine body still has to thank General Lin for not letting the concubine go back empty-handed" "Don't you understand, hehe" Lin Wushuang smiled and stopped mentioning the topic, "Drink and drink" The next thing, there is nothing worth writing about, when Li Xiang came out of the general's mansion with a red face, the sky was not even completely dark, this dinner, even the time she entered the door, it was only half an hour, things went so smoothly, it was a little surprising to Li Xiang, of course, the most unexpected thing is that before she came, she also deliberately dressed up, she was originally a beautiful woman, after this dress, it was even more charming, but, from beginning to end, Lin Wushuang talked to him plainly, talked about things, and seemed to completely ignore her appearance, which made him a little angry.
Early the next morning, the people sent by Lin Wushuang were waiting for her outside the door, although Chang Nan promised her to take a look at the mine, but did not say that she could only go alone, since the other party did not object, Li Xiang naturally brought all his manpower, so that if there is any omission in the details in the future, a few more people can piece it together, and the details can be restored.
After a series of heavily guarded guards, Li Xiang and his party arrived at the mine, obviously, the vigilance along the way was enough to raise their interest to the peak, Li Xiang compared, if a team of dead soldiers was organized to go to the General's Mansion to assassinate Lin Wushuang, there might be some possibility of success, but if that team of dead soldiers wanted to rush to this mine through this road of guards to spy on the secrets, I am afraid that there are still a few miles away from this mine, this person is already dead, the guard here, It is even more exaggerated than Lin Wushuang's General's Mansion.
The person who led them over was said to be Lin Wushuang's personal soldier captain, but there was no obstacle along the way, but when they arrived at the mining area, the personal soldier captain and his people stayed outside, no longer led them in, but handed them over to the soldiers guarding inside, which made Li Xiang slightly puzzled, especially when he saw the personal soldier captain and the soldiers who came out to pick them up, whispering something.
"An hour, an hour for you, there is no obstruction for you to see anything in the mines, these soldiers will follow you, you can only watch, you can't ask, after an hour, they will lead them out, we are waiting for you here" The captain of the pro-soldier said this, and Li Xiang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Things in the mining area, there is no need to talk more, as soon as Li Xiang's people enter the mining area, they can't wait for two eyes to grow behind their brains, greedily what they see, deeply in their hearts, since the other party said that they are not allowed to ask, they can only see everywhere by themselves, fortunately, although those soldiers follow them, but, for them to go there, what to see, do not hinder, just a short hour, Li Xiang felt that he really couldn't see anything, when the time came, they were sent out, The captain of the pro-soldier was still waiting for them here.
Of course, when they came out, they had an extra box, and inside the box was a box of the kind of ore mined, Li Xiang checked it carefully, and it was indeed the same as what she saw in the mine, the other party did not use some other things to perfunctory her.
Back in Quang Binh, more boxes were waiting for her, and what Quang Binh promised to give them was in the boxes at the moment, and they even sent a team of soldiers very considerately, and this team of soldiers would escort them and these boxes all the way out of the control area of Changnan.
Three days later, all the boxes, including the box of precious ores, all arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion in the Eastern Capital, and those military-funded firearms and other things were all sent to the treasure house of Prince Zheng San, but this box of ores, Prince Zheng San, almost summoned the qualified and knowledgeable people in his circle of henchmen to the palace together, how to dispose of these ores, he needed the advice of these henchmen.
"Qingfeng Camp is very tightly guarded, it is certain that it is absolutely impossible for those miners to steal such a piece of ore, I even suspect that Lin Wushuang did not plan to let a miner out of that mine at all, looking at their way of keeping this secret, if we hadn't done each other a great favor this time, I am afraid that it would be impossible to know the secret" Li Xiang reported to Prince Zheng San what she had seen and heard in the mine, although last night, she told the other party most of the things in the other party's bed, but, others don't know it's not.
"Mr.
Fang, you see, these ores, Li Xiang said that they are similar to the ores they mined in the cave, I always feel that the other party let us get these so easily, it is really a bit generous, this is their roots."
"Generous has come to the head" Fang gradually shook his head slightly: "I don't think so, it's just that they have no fear, I think, probably they smelted from this ore to make that firearm, there must be some things that outsiders don't know enough, that's why they are so generous."
The third prince nodded with deep sympathy: "I think so too" "However, this does not prevent us from peeling off their secrets layer by layer" Fang gradually smiled slightly, "Their firearms, to be made, is nothing more than smelting these ores, using iron tools as raw materials, using gunpowder as projectiles, how to make a firearm, I also have some research, but I have never figured out what these ores are used for, even if they are smelted, what are they used for, as for these ores, the prince asked me if this is the case, Fang is really a little ashamed, today Fang is also the first time to see these things, In those days in Guangping, although Fang was also working for the Qingfeng Battalion, the Qingfeng Battalion had never taken Fang as its own, and as for going to their heavily guarded mines, there was no need to think about it."
Speaking of this, Fang gradually seemed to suddenly remember something: "Wait, it seems that Miss Li Xiang is not the first person to visit their mine, if I remember correctly, before this, it should be last year, it seems that a group of outsiders have been to this mine, but this group of people soon disappeared in Guangping, and their origin and whereabouts are unknown."
"Could it be the craftsmen they invited," another confidant of Prince Zheng San said, "Shall we send craftsmen to smelt these ores and see what can be smelted?"
"No" Fang gradually stopped the other party's unreliable suggestion almost immediately: "Although Fang Mou doesn't dare to say that he has a lot of knowledge, but he has also traveled a lot of places in Daming Dayue, this kind of ore, even Fang Mou has seen it for the first time, which shows how rare these ores are, with such a small amount of smelting, even if something is smelted, what use can it be, according to Fang, the prince should be anxious about Da Zheng's skilled craftsmen, let them all take a look at this ore, and see if anyone can recognize what this is, Then see if there are any similar ores in the territory of Dazheng, if all this is successful, at that time, we can smelt as much as we want, and even we can use these things in our hands in exchange for those secrets kept by the Qingfeng Camp, of course, provided that these craftsmen can't figure out the use of these ores."
"That's it, Mr.
Fang is right, but this matter is not busy at this time" Prince Zheng San nodded and clapped: "I will summon everyone here today, in addition to this matter, there is another matter, this matter can be put aside a little, and it will be done in a few days, maybe the effect will be better, but this other thing, I am afraid that it will be delayed."
Everyone nodded in unison, compared to this matter, in the heart of the third prince, more important things naturally went without saying.
"At this moment, the sailor is dispatched, the Ruiyong battalion responds, in fact, there is no military order from the imperial court, and the third child is now making a fuss about this matter, which makes me a little passive, yesterday, the day before yesterday, my ears and eyes in the palace came to the news, the third child entered the palace for two consecutive days to see the queen mother, and now if the court is not good for me because of this matter, and in the palace, the third child and his mother have joined forces, I am afraid that the current situation will change" Fang gradually groaned: "How is His Royal Highness King Zheng's condition?"
"It's still the same, not dead or alive" Prince Zheng San has no respect for his father, "I am sober for a while, confused for a while, the news from the imperial doctor, this situation is only afraid that it will continue for a while" "What the prince just said about these firearms and ores, put them for a period of time, do you mean to wait for the prince to ascend the throne before doing it" Fang Li nodded: "When the prince has the power in his hands, he will naturally do these things, and it will be half the effort."
The third prince of Zheng looked at Fang Yan, did not admit it, and did not deny it.
"I understand, I don't know what the power of the prince is in the palace now, how many guards in the palace are only the king's head, and there are any people in the imperial doctor who admire the prince and desire the prince to ascend to the throne." aa2705221 t1706231537:
