Chapter 42 The Prisoner Asks the Enemy

Chu Mo glared at him, suddenly showed a burst of killing intent, and said coldly: "Also, if you mess up this matter, or let Gu know that you betrayed Gu and secretly took what Gu wanted to meet other people who shouldn't be seen, Gu promised to let you know what it means to survive and not to die!"

Zhu Tianyu's expression turned pale, and his head shook like a rattle!

"Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen, never betray!"

"I hope so, then I'll wait for your good news!"

After Chu Mo finished speaking lightly, he turned around.

Zhu Tianyu also breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had just unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden.

The smile on his face flashed, and his move was right.

As long as there are no accidents in this matter, he Zhu Tianyu will soon have a bright future, and it will not be in vain that he has worked hard in the maker for so many years.

After staying in the courtyard of Thunder for a while, Chu Mo raised his feet and left, and continued to inspect the rest of the Artifact Workshop, and Zhu Tianyu and the others naturally followed silently.

The discovery of thunder, whether it was intentional by Zhu Tianyu or purely accidental, was an unexpected gain for Chu Mo.

And the real purpose of his coming to the arsenal this time was actually those batches of ordnance to be sold to Zhao Guo. The person he really supports in his heart is actually the new emperor Zhao Zheng, because Zhao Zheng, like him, is orthodox.

He is the dignified prince of Chu State, the future emperor of Chu State, how could he support a person who seeks power and usurps the throne?

But now the new emperor Zhao Zheng is weak, so Chu Mo thought about whether he could help Zhao Zheng with a little move in the batch of ordnance sold to Zhao Ning, the uncle of Emperor Zhao.

In addition to the fact that Zhao Zheng was the rightful emperor of the Zhao State, Chu Mo chose to support him for the sake of the future of the Chu State.

Zhao Ning is a man of great talent, and he has some friendships with several other countries. If Zhao Ning is really made the emperor of Zhao State, maybe he will be unfavorable to Chu State in the future and plot against the great rivers and mountains of Chu State.

And let Zhao Zheng, a mediocre talent, continue to be the emperor of Zhao State, on the one hand, Chu State can avoid the worries of Zhao State, and secondly, if he really plans to unify the five countries in the future, then it will be easier to deal with Zhao State at that time.

If Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu knew that he was just asking Chu Mo to solve the matter of sending troops to aid Zhao State, but Chu Mo imagined the matter so far-reaching, Chu Yunxiu would definitely sigh with emotion.

After coming out of Thunder's courtyard, Zhu Tianyu took the opportunity to report to Chu Mo again, saying that he had arranged for reliable people to enter the courtyard and accompany Thunder to study gunpowder together.

On the one hand, you can ensure the safety of Thunder, and on the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to steal the master and learn how to make gunpowder.

"Very good, Lone is very satisfied, and when I get something one day, I must tell Lone as soon as possible. ”

Chu Mo put his hands behind his back, very satisfied with his arrangement.

"Thank you Your Highness for your compliment, Weichen will definitely live up to expectations!"

Zhu Tianyu was so proud that he almost went to heaven for beauty, but he was afraid that several other people would find out, so he had to silently endure the joy in his heart, and his face was flushed.

A few people were walking, and Chu Mo suddenly saw a few strong men, who were pulling a cart of good wood and throwing it into the fire, these woods looked very new, not moth-eaten and rotten, so they were thrown into the fire and burned, which was a pity.

Chu Mo was suspicious in his heart, so he pointed there and asked Zhu Tianyu: "Lord Zhu, what is the situation over there? Such a good wood is an excellent material for making knives and guns, why was it burned directly?"

Zhu Tianyu glanced at it, and hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, those things they burn are called hollow wood, which looks like excellent wood, but it is very useless. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please come with me. Zhu Tianyu led them over there, and then waved his hand to stop the strong men.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please look!"

While speaking, Zhu Tianyu picked a finger-thick piece of wood from it, and respectfully gave it to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo took it casually, tried to break it hard, and found that this wood was very tough, and it was an excellent material for making arrows.

"Lord Zhu, this wood doesn't look unusual!"

Zhu Tianyu smiled, took out another finished arrow from the pair of discarded materials, handed it to Chu Mo, and said to him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will try this arrow again." ”

Chu Mo took a look and found that this arrow looked very new, and it should have only been made for a few months. Then he grabbed the arrow again and broke it with all his might.

But he had just exerted his strength, and before he had exerted much strength, the arrow was like a reed rod, and it was easily broken by him.

Chu Mo was suddenly very curious, and asked Zhu Tianyu: "Master Zhu, don't talk to Gu Sell, just say it, what's going on?"

"Back to Your Highness, this arrow is made of these hollow woods. This hollow wood, as its name suggests, is hollow and useless. When this wood is first cut down, it is indeed very tough, and it is perfect for making spears, arrows, and other items. ”

"However, this hollow wood is not easy to store, as long as it is exposed to the wind and sun for a few months, this tough hollow wood will become like the arrow that His Highness just saw, it will become extremely fragile and easily broken. ”

When Weichen found out about this, he immediately asked people to store this batch of hollow wood, as well as those ordnance made of hollow wood. Thinking that after reporting to the imperial court, he could destroy this batch of hollow wood, but he didn't expect that these people under his hands would take up too much space and destroy some in advance. ”

Chu Mo nodded, and then asked, "How long have these arrows been stored before they become like this?"

Zhu Tianyu thought for a while and replied, "It's only two or three months!"

"Yes, yes!"

Chu Mo's eyebrows scattered, and he was secretly happy, and said to Zhu Tianyu with a smile: "Lord Zhu, you are really a lonely lucky star! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Zhu Tianyu hurriedly thanked him, but his face was blank.

Isn't it just some hollow wood? What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?

Chu Mo pulled him aside again, and whispered to him: "Lord Zhu, this batch of hollow wood, you first find some other wood to be destroyed to replace it, Gu wants you to use this batch of hollow wood to build a batch of ordnance, but this matter can't be known to anyone, only you and Gu know, and you have to remember to mark that batch of ordnance so as not to get confused." ”

Seeing Chu Mo's sinister smile, Zhu Tianyu suddenly understood his plan in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen understands, Your Highness, please rest assured, this matter Weichen will definitely handle it properly." ”
