C371 War
Kulun Juele was stunned and his face turned cold when he heard Luo Jianjian's words.
When Luo Jianjian saw his expression, she instantly tensed up. She was worried that she had offended him too much, so she stopped stuffing the pastries into her mouth.
Lin Zimo, who was on the side, also became nervous. Although he and the Prince were best friends, they hadn't known each other for long. He wasn't sure what the prince was thinking.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Kulun Juele's expression suddenly changed and he grinned. Luo Jianjian was stunned. She laughed awkwardly and looked at Kulun Juele at a loss.
"What a clever little girl. You're right, the path of business naturally has to be exclusive. However, you still have to agree to this king's request. It must be made widely in my Hailuan. If you can share this shipbuilding technique, this king can give you everything you want. "
"Really?"
Luo Jianjian couldn't help but laugh. What she wanted was exactly what Kulun Juele had said. Her gaze was fixated on the Full Moon Stone hanging around Kulun Juele's neck. If she succeeded, she would want all the Full Moon Stone in the Capital City.
"Seems like Miss Jianjian has already thought of what she wants?" As long as the thing you want, is not my Hailuan Kingdom, it's fine. "
"Of course it's not your Hailuan Kingdom. What do I need this for? "Since the Prince has already promised me, then I will first help me bring my men to the capital."
"Where are your people?"
"On... Of course it's at the border, I'm not at ease with you sending people, why not let Lin Zimo do it for you? If the Prince can send the carriage, Lin Zimo, you and I can trust each other.
This Association of 100 was already within the Hailuan Kingdom realm, but he just couldn't let Kulun Juele know that they used a scheme to enter the Hailuan. Otherwise, under such hostile circumstances, it was hard to avoid suspicion.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Zimo. If Miss Jianjian wants to build a ship, she must have a lot of blueprints to draw. Why don't we go to the Fragrance Palace to rest? "
Luo Jianjian was stunned. With her eyes, she could tell immediately that Kulun Juele was chasing her away to talk about something with Lin Zimo.
"Alright, I just happen to be tired too. Sorry for troubling you, Prince."
Luo Jianjian bowed and left. Lin Zimo and Kulun Juele watched as Luo Jianjian left. The relaxed smile on their faces sank at the same time.
"When I first entered the palace, I heard that a great ceremony for the war is being held in the palace. Could it be that after five years, the Hailuan is going to start a war with the Heaven? "
Lin Zimo opened his mouth first. He had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but it wasn't convenient in front of Luo Jianjian.
Kulun Juele smiled bitterly and raised his eyes to meet Lin Zimo's gaze.
"Zimo, didn't we agree to not talk about these things? There is only pure friendship between us. "
"Then why did the Prince leave me alone? "If we're talking about friendship, why would we send Jianjian away?"
"That's because I want to ask you if this Luo Jianjian is as trustworthy as you."
Kulun Juele was still skeptical of Luo Jianjian. After all, they were from the Heaven's Enlightenment, and bringing people to the Hailuan was one of the key techniques to build ships. Thus, he had to be more cautious.
"Don't worry, Luo Jianjian is as trustworthy as me. She definitely would not sell her Hailuan Kingdom for her own selfish benefits. "
"That's good. Since you're the one who said it, This King will believe it." "Alright, I believe you are tired too. You should go back to the Fragrant Gauze Palace to rest."
After Kulun Juele said this, he was about to return to his seat and continue working. Lin Zimo came up to him and held him back, wanting to say something, but he eventually opened his mouth.
"Is there no other way to solve the shipwreck? Must they attack the Heavenly Awakening? "
Kulun Juele frowned as he saw Lin Zimo pleading.
"If there is another way, I am also unwilling to start a war. However, Zimo, you haven't personally witnessed the power of the shipwreck. The people who have suffered countless deaths and injuries, the Hailuan area is not small, even if we encourage fertility, reduce taxes, and reward new students, the number of Chinese is still decreasing every year. "If I don't open up a new territory, it will truly be …"
"But how many times did his Hailuan attack the Heaven's Awakening? Just with the army's numbers, you guys are the weaker party! "
"It's different this time. This time, we …"2
Kulun Juele was about to say something, but stopped himself.
"This King almost forgot, you are also someone of Heaven's Enlightenment. This King has no way of saying so much. Just like what we agreed on, This King will never ask you how strong the forces of the Heavenly Awakening Realm are. Zimo, let's just follow what we said and be friends. "
After saying that, Kulun Juele pushed away Lin Zimo's hand and returned to the front of the table.
"Oh, the person that Miss Jianjian said she wanted to use to build the ship. This King can report to Royal Father right now and send a carriage to fetch him for you."
Lin Zimo was stunned for a moment. He pulled away from the conversation and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Prince. I'm sure Jianjian is anxious too. I will leave immediately."
Lin Zimo was worried in his heart, whether it was Heaven's Initiation or Hailuan, the people from the two countries were both people he cared about. He didn't want to get killed again because of the war.
However, he was unable to refute Kulun Juele's words.
Inside the Fragrance Palace, Luo Jianjian was concentrating on drawing the shape of the ship with a brush.
This boat looked simple, but she thought it was okay when she was studying deep, so she didn't really learn it. But now that she really had to make a boat, she was somewhat confused.
Luo Jianjian panicked a little when she thought of the big words she said in front of Kulun Juele.
"It's over, it's over. I forgot all about what I learned." What's the angle of the keel of this ship? With what wood? "And this waterproof step, what kind of standard is this sail …"
The more Luo Jianjian thought about it, the more she started to panic. He had boasted too much. If he could not create boats, then Association of 100 would not be coming here to enjoy the happiness, but to throw away his life, right?
"I have a biography of Zheng He and Xiaoyang here. I wonder if they will be useful to me …"
Luo Jianjian was surprised when Lil 'White, who had been silent for a few days, suddenly spoke.
Zheng He went into the Western Ocean? Oh, Zheng He needed a boat to sail to the Western Ocean, and it had to be of good quality. That was the Atlantic Ocean!
"Useful! Of course it's useful. Why didn't you say so earlier? "
"What did I say? Master, you want to build a ship, but didn't bring up any money to inform me? "
Whitey whined as it stretched out its long legs from another space. It used its thumbs to give a book to Luo Jianjian.
Luo Jianjian couldn't help but laugh when she saw its actions.
"Master, if you keep smiling, I'll take the book back!"
Little White said in annoyance. Luo Jianjian quickly reached out to take the book.
"Alright, alright, isn't building ships for the Full Moon Stone? With the Full Moon Stone, your fox body and human leg can further evolve, right? "
