"What is the secret of the Qiankun Empire?" Hearing what the shopkeeper Wu said, the prince of the An family raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"They use water for iron smelting!" Shopkeeper Wu immediately replied: "This thing can be used as a power source to greatly improve production efficiency, the Qiankun Empire only uses it to smelt iron, I judge, if it is placed in other aspects, it will also have a great effect! Such as textile, farming, and so on! Our Chongming Island is densely packed with large and small rivers, and there are many torrents, so it is best to use water resources!"

"I know this!" An Jiashizi said in a deep voice, he had long known about the water drain power of the Qiankun Empire, and he had also thought about getting his hands on it.

But the Qiankun Empire took the water drain very tightly. It is only owned by the blacksmith shops directly managed by the empire, and it is impossible for the people to touch it. The external shape of the drain is easy to observe, but the structure that is connected to the blacksmith's shop is not known.

At the beginning, he sent people to study for a long time, but he didn't figure out how to use the power of the water drain to smelt iron... In addition, in the recent stage, the biggest work direction in Chongming Island is to improve the power of ships, so the study of water drainage for a period of time is temporarily put down.

But now that Shopkeeper Wu has brought back the news, he has picked up the thoughts he has put down again. If you can really get the water drainage technology, with the production technology of Chongming Island, it will soon be popularized in large quantities. And maybe the structure of the water drain will also help the ship power that they are currently focusing on.

"What have you discovered? Could it be that you got the structural drawings of the water drain from the Qiankun Empire?" asked the prince of the An family, if it was true, he would be impressed by the shopkeeper Wu.

"Uh, I didn't get it!" shopkeeper Wu smirked.

"Then you inquired about the structure of the water row and the blacksmith's workshop?" The prince of the An family asked again, his face was a little unsightly, this Nima also called discovering the secret of the Qiankun Empire.

"This ...... Hehe. Neither did it!"

"Damn!" The son of the An family exploded on the spot, and stood up with a slap on the table. You're kidding me. Defected to Jiang Xingchen, did you send a tease?

"Shizi. Shizi! I really made a discovery!" Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly waved his hand and said quickly: "This time the Qiankun Empire is in great drought, and it uses the pressure well invented by Jiang Xingchen, which is made of cast iron and needs to be produced in large quantities! And the time is very tight, and they have mobilized a large number of blacksmiths...... In other words, there are many blacksmiths who now know the structure of the water drain link blacksmith's shop!"

"Oh?" An Shizi calmed down, frowned in thought, and sat down again.

After a while. The prince of the An family shook his head and said, "It's useless, those blacksmiths must have been severely warned and given a gag order...... By the way, how about Daqin and Moon Shadow, don't they also need a lot of cast iron over there, do they use water drains?"

"No, I've inquired, they have a large amount of molten iron stone!" Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said, "Shizi." This matter is not difficult to do, although the empire must strictly control it, but there are too many people who know, how can it be blocked...... There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward. As long as you give enough money and find the right person, you will definitely be able to ask!"

An family thought for a moment. Nodding slightly: "That's right, no matter how much you block the news." There will still be rumors, and many rumors among the people are not made up out of thin air or groundless...... But let's just take the money and ask. It will be destroyed by the Qiankun Empire!"

"Of course it can't be like this!" Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said in a low voice: "During this time, I didn't just observe the water drains of the Qiankun Empire, but also went to Dachen, where is there an interesting thing...... You should know about the two exhibitions held in Dachen some time ago, right?"

"Hmm!" An Jiashizi's expression sank, of course he knew that this was the action of the king and grandson of Sizhou Island, and his purpose was self-evident, it must be to find out the details of his activities on the mainland.

"Originally, the silver utensils of Sizhou Island were quite popular! But Jiang Xingchen inserted a pole horizontally, causing Sizhou Island to fail and become a ......."

"I know this, let's get to the point!" An Shizi waved his hand.

"Good...... When I first made the big honey locust, I still had some connections in Dachen! I found out about one thing, that is, the people from Sizhou Island attacked the exhibition of Jiang Xingchen, and the explosion at that time was said to have been heard in the entire north of the city."

"Oh, and this, are the people sent by Moyun all fools, the exhibition that attacked Jiang Xingchen in the capital of the Great Chen Kingdom?"

"I inquired carefully later, and learned that it was the people on Sizhou Island who had caused infighting, and the person in charge was yin by one of his subordinates, and he himself didn't know about it......"

There are many shrewd people in the An family, and they understood as soon as they heard it: "Jiang Xingchen is letting the family block the gun...... If this is given to me, I will definitely put back the person in charge of Sizhou Island!"

"The son of the world is wise!" Shopkeeper Wu slapped it and said with a smile: "Jiang Xingchen really did this at that time, broke one of the principal's legs, and then let it go!"

The prince of the An family narrowed his eyes and asked, "You said this, what does it have to do with the water drain?"

Shopkeeper Wu said: "The key is that the subordinate who framed the main thing was not executed by Mo Yun, but survived......! I inquired that Mo Yun was going to execute him at that time, but this guy said that he knew Jiang Xingchen's details!"

"This is strange, how did he know Jiang Xingchen's information? Unless someone sues him, that is to say, there must be someone in the Qiankun Empire behind the scenes, and the big nobles who participated in the exhibition at the beginning were eighty percent of the nobles in the upper echelons of the empire...... Since someone in the Qiankun Empire is targeting Jiang Xingchen, then we only need to start from this aspect, and we have a great hope of getting the design of the water drain. ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Wu, the prince of the An family suddenly laughed, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You really have to think hard enough about this...... I can't imagine that the matter on Da Chen's side can be related to the matter of the water drain, hehe, but you thought of it, this circle is too big!"

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat came down at that time! Yes, who can contact the matter on Da Chen's side with the water drain.

"Also, you know well enough about Moyun's side...... If I don't contact our internal response over there, I'm afraid I don't know!" An Jiazi's face turned cold.

"After the failure of this mission, did you really go to the Qiankun Empire...... I've been told that your last direction is overseas...... Also, the water drain of the Qiankun Empire is not a secret at all, do you need to inquire for three months...... Old Wu, you should know what the consequences are of lying to me!"

"Plop!" Shopkeeper Wu knelt down suddenly, and said loudly: "Shizi spare my life, I'll tell you the truth!" I failed two missions in a row, and I didn't dare to come back, so I secretly ran to Sizhou Island halfway...... It was only when I was eating at the restaurant that I happened to hear the soldiers talking about Da Chen, and I thought of this possibility! Then I spent a lot of money to get close to those people, and only then did I find out the details of that time! I came back and really wanted to ......."

"Okay!" The prince of the An family waved his hand to interrupt the shopkeeper Wu, and said lightly: "You don't need to explain anything, what you just said is quite useful, I will write it down for you first...... You go to Da Chen right now, and inquire about the big nobles of the Qiankun Empire who participated in the exhibition...... It's a pretty easy job, if you can't do it!"

Shopkeeper Wu was relieved, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and promised: "Don't worry, if I don't do well in this matter, you will throw me into the sea to feed the fish!"

The prince of the An family waved his hand, and the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly ran out as if it was an amnesty.

In the room, the prince of the An family pondered for a moment and smiled: "Water drainage technology, the Qiankun Empire is only used to smelt iron, what a waste......"

Before his words fell, the Sect Master of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect walked out of the small door next to him and said lightly: "It's a pity that you didn't bring Xian Ning in the first place, otherwise you wouldn't have to work so hard." At that time, Xian Ning was already about to study the water drain!"

The face of the prince of the An family sank suddenly, and he glared at the sect master fiercely, Xian Ning was a thorn in his heart! For a person like him, it was a great shame.

"Hmph, sooner or later, I will inflict Jiang Xingchen on me, and return it all!" The prince of the An family said in a deep voice.

"I hope so, too!" the Sect Master smiled and said lightly, "But if you can't find that super ore vein, those ancient technologies in your hands can't be realized!"

"Don't talk about me, our purpose is the same!" said An Jiashizi.

"It's different!" the sect master shook his head and said, "You are here to dominate the world, and I am here to transcend this world......"

"Then why don't you use your hidden secret power? If you continue to consume it like this, after a few decades, you will not be detached, and it is a luxury to live for a few more years!"

"It's not time yet!hehe, didn't you also fail to use your greatest relationship?" the Sect Master smiled.

"That relationship can't be used unless it's absolutely necessary...... If it hadn't been for my father's arrangement, that vein would have been ours a long time ago......"

"But can you be sure that vein is in the Lunaris Kingdom?"

"Of course not...... But I had to find a clue to the ......" The voices of the two men grew lower and lower until they could hear no movement.

Half a month later, a letter came from Da Chen, and the prince of the An family opened it and looked at it, and smiled for a moment: "Fang family, the representative of the old forces...... If I'm right, it's them......."

At the same time, in the Arctic Ice Field, Jiang Xingchen and the old man had already found the third mountainous area against the cold wind. The magic of the small pompom made the old man breathtaking, and even the crab was too tired to do it. But this main force in search of treasures is still energetic. Although I haven't found plum blossoms yet, I don't go back empty-handed every time I go out.

Herbs buried deep in the snow can be found in the vast ice field, which amazes the old man.

"Boy, we don't have much food, let's look for three more days in the end, if you still don't have it, wait for next time!" The old man was a little helpless, they consumed a lot of food and horses, and the supplies they brought out were almost bottoming out.

At this moment, a golden light flashed in the distance, and the little pom-pom ran back. The difference is that this time it didn't bring anything back, it jumped directly on Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, pointed in one direction and screamed while gesturing, looking extremely excited.

"Found it!" Jiang Xingchen and the old man's eyes lit up, and this thought came to mind at the same time. (To be continued......)
