"The city lord kept Xie Rui in exchange for more supplies?" Chu Yun was a little puzzled, according to Su Tong's past character, Xie Rui's bones were chewed clean by the beast.

Su Tong wanted more than just that little bit of material.

"The Jin State has an iron-smelting technique that can make the best use of the mined iron ore." Although the Chu State also has iron-making technology, it is still inferior to the Jin State.

During this time, she repeatedly asked Xie Rui's henchmen to test their bottom line, she wanted to know what these people could do to save Xie Rui.

So until then, Xie Rui must live.

If the guard was instructed to do so, it means that there are people with dissident intentions hiding around her.

Chu Yun didn't expect Su Tong to want to practice iron art in the Jin Kingdom, because of this iron practice, the weapons stock of the Jin State is more than that of the Chu State and the Southern Kingdom, and there has been no war in the Jin Kingdom in recent years, so it can be inferred that the weapon reserves of the Jin State are higher than those of the other two countries.

Such an important technology, will the Jin Kingdom really hand it over for a prince?

Chu Yun felt that this was extremely unlikely, but it didn't hurt to try, what if it did?

Early the next morning, Xie Rui woke up.

When he opened his eyes, his pupils instantly reflected a slender figure, and the hairs on his body instantly stood up.

Su Tong slowly turned around and looked at him condescendingly, "I didn't expect that the people who wanted your life would sneak into my city." ”

Xie Rui's face changed, "What do you mean by this?" Don't you want me dead? ”

Su Tong coldly hooked the corners of his lips, "I want you to die, you won't live to be the current prince, you are here with me, life is more valuable." ”

Xie Rui was silent, it was undeniable that what Su Tong said made sense, but he had too many enemies, and he couldn't think of a person with such a long hand who could send someone to this ghost place to ask for his life.

Su Tong sat down on the edge of his bed, even if he just sat there, Xie Rui felt a pressure that could not be ignored coming towards him, pressing him all over.

"Actually, I don't want to be an enemy of the Jin Kingdom, it's just that you have done so many things to my city-citizens before, and you always have to make some compensation."

Xie Rui's heart was full of lightning, and he felt that Su Tong had something to say, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"I'm going to let you go, it depends on whether the people on your side have this sincerity."

"What do you want?"

"Practice iron."

"What did you say?" Xie Rui thought he had misheard.

He had thought that Su Tong would ask for all kinds of gold and silver treasures, but he didn't expect her to be so bold, practicing iron art is the great vein of the Jin Kingdom, how could she take it out easily?

"Do you think that the practice of iron is in my hands, and I will give it to you if I want to? You can't help but think too highly of me! ”

Su Tong was not in a hurry, but said leisurely: "If this thing is so easy to get, it is not worthy of the life of the eldest prince, I heard that the monarch of the Jin Kingdom has been in poor health in recent years, and he is more and more powerless about state affairs, presumably it will not be long before the prince is established, if the eldest prince has been in my city, I am afraid that he will miss a good time." ”

Of course, Xie Rui knew that what Su Tong said was true or false, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious that he would lose a lot of hair.

"You can think about it, and if you think about it, write a letter to your people, and I'm sure they will do everything they can to get you out."

After speaking, Su Tong turned around and walked out, leaving Xie Rui alone to weigh the pros and cons.

Alchemy is certainly hard to obtain, but compared to one's own life, it is nothing at all.

Without thinking about it for too long, Xie Rui asked people to send a message to Su Tong, saying that he agreed to Su Tong's request, but the premise was to meet with his cronies, and some things needed to be said to the other party in person.

"This matter is not trivial, if it is not easy for them to take such a big risk just by a letter, the city lord should understand what I mean."

Stealing and practicing iron art is a capital crime for the nine clans.

Su Tong agreed to his request.

After receiving Xie Rui's letter, Lord Wang immediately sent it to Zhou Wei.

"Third master, take a look, is this true or false?"

The letter stated that he wanted Lord Wang to join him in the Northern Wastelands in three days, but it was clear that he was still in the hands of those people.

Zhou Wei looked at the content of the letter repeatedly, and made sure that this was Xie Rui's handwritten letter.

"I'll go."

Lord Wang was shocked, Xie Rui was already in the other party's hands, if he was paying for a Wednesday master to go in, then he really didn't have to go back.

"Third master, there may be fraud in this, you have to think twice."

Zhou Wei shook his head, Xie Rui didn't know that he had arrived in the border city, and the people in the Northern Wasteland would definitely not know either, so there was no possibility of using tricks to lure him over.

The other party must know that Lord Wang is just a person who does things, and they go to great lengths to catch an errand person for what to do.

It can be inferred from this that the other party is likely to really want Xie Rui to see them.

So he went and was able to understand the other party's intentions more clearly.

"Don't be afraid, you can go down and send a message to our people to see if they find any useful news."

"Yes, the little one will send someone to ask."

Zhou Wei was not in a hurry, but waited until the time stated in the letter before he brought a few carts of things to the agreed place and waited.

Qiao Yang was waiting there early in the morning.

After confirming that Zhou Wei was Xie Rui's person, he took him into the Northern Wasteland to go to Tiankui for support.

Zhou Wei was covered with his eyes all the time, and there was no way to check the situation around him.

When Zhou Wei's blindfold was taken off, he saw a figure lying on the bed.

In a few days, Xie Rui's body recovered a little, but he was still weak.

Xie Rui saw that Zhou Wei was a little puzzled, she didn't recognize Zhou Wei after the disguise.

Zhou Wei stepped forward and said softly, "Your Highness is okay?" ”

Hearing Zhou Wei's voice, Xie Rui's eyes showed a shocked color, he quickly glanced towards the door, and immediately restrained the look in his eyes, for fear of being seen abnormally.

"You're here, I'm fine, don't worry."

Where people outside the door couldn't see, Xie Rui held Zhou Wei's hand tightly, he desperately wanted to know if Zhou Wei could save him.

Zhou Weihui held his hand and shook his head slowly at him, "Your Highness doesn't need to be in a hurry, say something slowly." ”

Xie Rui glanced quickly out the door, "They want to practice ironmagic." ”

Zhou Wei's pupils were shocked, but he quickly restrained his expression, "What a big breath." ”

"If I get the iron practice, they will let me go, otherwise ......"

"Tell me what you know about this place."

Xie Rui furrowed his eyebrows and said everything he knew.

Zhou Wei listened, his brows were twisted, Xie Rui had been here for so long before, and he had found such a little thing?

"Uncle, you must save me!"
