Chapter 640: Minerals

"However, I found a problem, Shen Mengxian didn't use the weapon made from the weapon map he got from the Feng clan this time. If I were him, I would have thought that I would have a better chance of winning with this weapon. ”

Happy is happy, but Mo Xuanyin is still very sensible. Even if this battle was a big victory, he noticed what kind of problems there were in it.

According to the general thinking, if I have a new weapon in my hand, and I still have the right time and place, of course, I should actively use it to increase my chances of victory and speed up the progress of the battle. But this time Shen Mengxian didn't do it, Mo Xuanyin felt very strange.

"Didn't use that weapon? If it were me, I would definitely use it too. This weapon can only be kept in normal times, and it is not used in war, so when will it be used? Could it be because Shen Mengxian has encountered some difficulties in manufacturing, and the supply exceeds demand? ”

Gu Xiqian also felt that something was wrong after hearing this, if Mo Xuanyin didn't say it, she thought that Mo Xuanyin used the cracking method given by Luoquan to solve this problem. Now that I hear that this is not the case, I also feel that something is wrong.

"Look! We're all thinking this way, so that's why I think it's a little weird. Although I am happy to win the battle in the past few days, I am also a little uneasy, wondering if Shen Mengxian is still holding back some big moves? ”

Gu Xiqian gave Mo Xuanyin affirmation, making him even more proof that there was no problem with this idea. As a monarch, the most important thing is to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Knowing that Shen Mengxian had this weapon in his hand, it didn't come in handy when the two armies were fighting, so he had to think about whether there was any other conspiracy behind it?

"I don't think so, even if Shen Mengxian is mediocre, he won't joke with the lives of his soldiers. Obviously, using that weapon will allow him to reduce a lot of losses, so why not? You just think too highly of him sometimes, and I think he's just because he doesn't have enough weapons for people to use! ”

Gu Xiqian shook her head, not approving of Mo Xuanyin's idea. They all know very well that the most important thing for a country is its own military strength, and the best proof of this military strength is that it can win battles and have advanced weapons that make others fearful.

Shen Mengxian didn't know that they had a way to crack that weapon, so they would definitely show it off. Many times, they don't need conspiracy theories, and Shen Mengxian may not have that brain.

"But we don't have a better explanation than that. From all aspects, Lanling Kingdom does not look like it does not have the conditions to manufacture weapons. ”

Gu Xiqian analyzed this, and Gu Xiqian's brows couldn't help frowning. This was already the most reasonable explanation he could think of, but there were other reasons for not being able to figure it out.

"Why not, it's because you don't know enough about Lanling Guo. Who said that because of its vast territory, it will definitely be able to make this weapon. Nothing can be perfect, if it is really according to your ideas, the annexation of the whole world by the Lanling Kingdom is just around the corner. We should analyze what we need to make this weapon and see what Lanling Country lacks? ”

Mo Xuanyin's attitude of growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige made Gu Xiqian very dissatisfied. First of all, he thought so highly of Shen Mengxian, and then felt that the strength of Lanling Kingdom was very strong. Then there is no need for them to fight now, Shen Mengxian's ambition will be realized sooner or later.

Each country is located differently, the terrain is different, and the things produced are certainly very different. It cannot be said that because of the large area of Lanling Country, then Lanling Country lacks nothing.

They also have a structural diagram of that weapon, take a closer look, what exactly is needed to make this weapon, and compare whether there is a country in Lanling or not, maybe there will be an answer.

Mo Xuanyin paused, turned around and took out the drawings for making weapons. The two of them carefully studied the drawings and guessed what difficulties Shen Mengxian encountered in the manufacturing process?

"Minerals!"

"Yes, the terrain of Lanling Country is flat, and the most scarce thing is minerals. So it has to be explained."

After some research, the two of them spoke in unison. Crafting weapons requires a large amount of minerals as a base, but Lanling does not have this condition.

"Of course, this is just our speculation. To get further confirmation, we will also do a survey. Send someone to find out if Shen Mengxian has recently purchased a large number of minerals......

Finding the problem, they are much more open-minded. However, this matter has not been confirmed now, and Gu Xiqian decided to send someone to investigate and see if Lanling Kingdom has made any recent moves in this regard.

"That's fine, but I'd suggest that I'd let Luoquan send someone to investigate. What Fengyue Pavilion is best at is to inquire about information and gather intelligence. Instead of sending someone from the court, it is better to directly ask him to help with it! ”

The two of them thought of going together, but Mo Xuanyin felt that it was most appropriate to hand over this matter to Luoquan. Compared with the people in the court, he Fengyue is a professional.

"Of course I don't have an opinion, so you can discuss it with him and see if he is willing?"

Mo Xuanyin really didn't let go of any opportunity to take advantage of the falling spring, Gu Xiqian couldn't help laughing. Mo Xuanyin can be regarded as a slap in the face now, he was so aimed at Luoquan before, and now the relationship between the two of them is the same as what!

"I've already had people investigate the information you want, and it's as you expected. Shen Mengxian has indeed made this move recently, and my people found that people from Lanling Kingdom were trying to buy iron ore between Loulan and the desert. It's a pity that they found the wrong place, there is very little iron ore there, almost nothing, so they did not succeed in buying it. ”

Mo Xuanyin opened his mouth, and Luoquan naturally had no reason not to agree. He immediately ordered the people of Fengyue Pavilion to do this, and the efficiency naturally went without saying, and it didn't take long to wear that news.

"In this way, I am much more relieved, I don't even have the most basic raw materials, I'm afraid that Shen Mengxian's new weapon can't be launched, it's a pity......"

Mo Xuanyin nodded, if he had thought of this possibility earlier, he wouldn't have to worry about it like this for the past few days. Thanks to Gu Xiqian's return, he solved this trouble.

They were indeed much more relaxed, but Shen Mengxian was already going crazy. fell into Mo Xuanyin's trap, which made him lose a lot of money, and he lost face. The hard-won weapon manufacturing drawings are difficult because there are no raw materials.

Thinking that his entire Lanling country has such a large area, he doesn't even have an iron mine. This is not what makes him the most angry, what makes him most angry is that he has no chance to run out and buy it. This literally strangled his plan in the cradle!

"I went to so many places and found no iron ore. Does that mean that I will never be able to use this weapon? ”

Shen Mengxian got the news and was furious. He is also getting more and more anxious, he wants to win back a game, and he desperately wants to let the people who laugh at him slap him in the face and make them realize how good he is.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers did run a lot of places. It's just that a little iron ore has been found between Loulan and the desert, but the amount is too small to be used at all......"

What the ministers of Lanling Kingdom are most afraid of is facing such a situation. The task given to them by Shen Mengxian could not be completed. On the other hand, when he returned to Shen Mengxian, he seemed to have a knife on his neck, a little careless, afraid that he would lose his life here.

It's the same now, as they report, Shen Mengxian's face became more and more ugly. Their hearts also hung higher and higher, and their legs and stomachs couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you sure you've searched all the places? Is there nothing missing? ”

Shen Mengxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked the ministers below again, and he seemed to have an idea in his heart.

"Except for Nanyue and Yunnan, people have basically been sent to find other places. These two countries have strict control, and the ministers are afraid that they will be alarmed. ”

Several ministers did not dare to hide anything, and answered honestly. They knew very well in their hearts that Lanling Kingdom had just been defeated by Yunnan, and if they were to discover their actions at this time, it would probably be unfavorable to Lanling Kingdom. Yunnan and Nanyue are connected, and if they are found in Nanyue, the result is the same.

"Yunnan and South Vietnam...... Alright, in that case, let's do this first, you go down first! ”

Shen Mengxian muttered a few words, and also had an answer in his heart, and directly asked the following people to go down.

"yes, why didn't I think of that? The reason why there are no minerals in Lanling Country is because of the terrain. Nanyue is different, its topography is just the opposite of Lanling, maybe there will be one......"

After the ministers went down, Shen Mengxian sat there alone and thought for a while. Then he muttered to himself, as if he had figured out something. He also found that this was probably related to the terrain, so he thought that Nanyue, which was different from the topography of Lanling Country, might be rich in minerals.

Gu Xiqian probably wouldn't have thought that Shen Mengxian would finally set his sights on Nanyue Kingdom. She and Mo Xuanyin took every precaution to prevent problems in Yunnan, but they didn't expect that Shen Mengxian would target Nanyue.

At this time, except for Yunnan, the Lanling Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom did not seem to be peaceful. Gu Xiqian helped Gu Rong and manage, and there seemed to be no problem with Nanyue for so long.

But now that Gu Ronghe is back, the problem is naturally exposed. is no longer as calm as when Gu Xiqian was there, and the person who stirred up trouble stood up.

"Do you mean to say that Gu Xiqian has nothing to do, openly provokes you, and even asks the grandmother in the palace to punish you?"

Gu Ronghe is back now, and Gu Xiqian has also left. The few punished concubines stood up again, and a few people came together to Gu Rong and Gu Rong here!

Gu Ronghe looked incredulous after hearing this, what kind of person Gu Xiqian was, he still knew very well, this was not like what she would do at all!
