Chapter 80: The Blacksmith's Shop
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's wrong with Your Majesty? Fell asleep so early today? ”
The eunuch asked puzzled.
Serving His Majesty for so long, I have never seen His Majesty fall asleep so early and sleep so soundly, they walked in and did not wake up.
"My father works hard day and night on state affairs, maybe I'm tired, and I want to take a good rest, so let's not bother, just wait for my father to wake up."
Zhu Biao glanced inside, then at the eunuch and explained.
The matter of washing the marrow fruit can't be spread, even the eunuch who is closest to his father and emperor can't say much.
When the eunuch heard this, he didn't continue to ask any more questions, and stood outside the door, waiting here with Zhu Biao.
......
Blacksmith's shop.
Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, Zhu Zi came to the blacksmith shop that Zhu Biao said.
"You can go back."
Zhu Zi saw the destination, and also said to the several officers and soldiers in front of him.
"Yes!"
Several officers and soldiers nodded and agreed.
When he came, the prince explained that everything was based on the orders of the person in front of him, and since they were allowed to go, there was no need for them to stay here.
After the officers and soldiers left, Zhu Zi raised his head and looked at the blacksmith shop in front of him.
The blacksmith shop was huge, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the largest blacksmith he had ever seen.
There was a sound of striking iron and the sound of water vapor coming from inside, which was extremely pleasant.
The door of the blacksmith shop was open, and there were many people outside, striking iron in the open air, burly and straight, and the muscles on the big arms were clearly visible.
"Who is in charge here?"
Zhu Zi walked in and shouted directly inside.
Talking to the blacksmith, you don't have to care about those vain things, just speak straightforwardly, the more vague it is, the more likely it is to cause disgust.
The movement inside stopped for a moment, but it only stopped for a moment, and then returned to its original state.
It didn't take long for an older stout man to come out of it.
"Who? It's noisy, I don't know what kind of place this is? ”
The stout man looked unhappy and rushed out in a hurry and shouted.
There are not many people who dare to shout at the door of their blacksmith shop, and the courage of this kid in front of him is not small.
"You're the one in charge here? The prince should have told you that someone will come looking for you, let's go, go in and talk. ”
Zhu Zi saw someone coming out, and said straight to the point.
If you don't move out of Zhu Biao's name, you may not be able to give him a good face.
"You are the person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he said?"
"Please come in."
When the stout man heard this, his face suddenly changed.
The tone was a little softer, but the attitude was still very tough.
Zhu Zi didn't have any competition, followed the man, and walked in.
After the two walked into the blacksmith shop, the people around them all cast puzzled looks, but they were all busy with the things at hand and didn't pay much attention.
Passing through the place where the iron was struck and smelted, the stout man pushed open the door inside, and the two walked in.
Inside, it's a lot quieter, even if the sound of iron striking outside is loud, but in comparison, it's obviously quieter here than outside.
"Sit down."
The stout man sat down and motioned for Zhu Zi to sit down as well.
"I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, you want to take us to Qiongzhou?"
"I'm curious, can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come forward and offer such generous conditions for us to go to Qiongzhou, who are you?"
Zhu Zi nodded, sat down, and directly took off half of his face, the temperature in it was not ordinarily high, it was very hot when he first came in, with a cloth, it was too stuffy.
"Since they are all my own people in the future, then I won't hide it, introduce myself, King Qiong, Zhu Zi."
Zhu Zi smiled slightly, not continuing to hide his identity.
Since Zhu Biao asked him to come to these people, and then he had to take these people away, there was no need at all, he was going to hide his identity, anyway, sooner or later, he had to know, and concealing his identity would be counterproductive.
"What? Are you King Joan? ”
"Is it the prince who openly contradicts His Majesty, questions the edict of the forbidden sea, and goes to Qiongzhou for the sake of the people?"
"Little Huang Tiesheng, I have seen His Royal Highness King Qiong."
When Huang Tiesheng heard this, he paused for a moment, and asked in satisfaction and surprise.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly saluted Zhu Zi respectfully.
That's King Qiong, the king of the domain, it's not something he can provoke as a small blacksmith, thinking about his attitude towards Zhu Zi just now, he was afraid for a while.
He should have thought of it a long time ago, how could the person who could make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come forward could be an ordinary person, but he was just going to a place so far away from Qiongzhou, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"It seems that you have heard of me, and it is just some gossip."
"The prince should have confessed everything."
Zhu Zi waved his hand and smiled.
After all this time, there are still people who remember his deeds, and the spread is really wide enough, and the blacksmith knows about it.
After seeing Huang Tiesheng's attitude, Zhu Zi was relieved, this attitude was completely different from just now, no matter what he was afraid of or why, he was still quite satisfied with this attitude.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has explained, a total of five people have been selected, and they will go to Qiongzhou with King Qiong, these five people are all masters of our blacksmith shop, and their skills are very good, does King Qiong want to meet these five people?"
Huang Tiesheng nodded hurriedly.
Originally, he was still a little worried, these five people went to Qiongzhou, will it be very difficult, what is the reputation of Qiongzhou, they are all clear, Qiongzhou, which is known as a wild land, can't even eat, and his stomach can't be filled, he is very worried that after the five people go, there will be nothing missing.
But now after seeing Zhu Zi, knowing that it was Zhu Zi who wanted him, he was also relieved, how could he be hungry for them.
"Do you know why I'm going to come to your blacksmith shop myself?"
Zhu Zi didn't answer Huang Tiesheng directly, and asked with a serious face.
If it was just to see a few blacksmiths, then he didn't need to come here to make a special trip, with his style of acting, how could he take a few people away.
"Isn't it for the sake of taking a look at the iron-making methods of the blacksmith shop and meeting the masters who are going to take it away?"
Huang Tiesheng asked with a puzzled face.
Zhu Zi came in person, it was indeed what he didn't expect, when it was time to leave, it would be good to let people go directly, why did he come to run a trip? He couldn't figure it out either.
"Don't you wonder, why do I want to take the blacksmith to Qiongzhou?"
"Obviously, Qiongzhou is called a wild place, why should I take a blacksmith there?"
Zhu Zi still gave Huang Tiesheng and continued to leave suspense.
If Huang Tiesheng is curious, he will be able to enter his thinking, and what he is saying will get twice the result with half the effort, which is more effective than saying it directly.
