After giving another hundred taels of traveling expenses to the informant.
Zhao Ding and Tian Hu then took a detour from another place and walked towards the way they came.
"You should understand what to do next?"
On the carriage, Zhao Ding looked at Tian Hu leisurely.
Now that the bait has been hooked, the natural next step is to follow the bait to find the big fish behind the scenes.
A mere one or two thousand swords is not what Zhao Ding wants.
What Zhao Ding wants is the smelting technology behind these swords!
Even if the force behind this shop is not the Weapon-making Valley, as long as he gets it, it is equivalent to an innovation in sword-making technology for him!
If everything goes well with Nanchen, let him get enough high-quality iron ore, relying on what he himself will know in later generations.
Even if there are troubled times in the future, Dayu really wants to dominate the world.
Zhao Ding and Da Qian also have enough power to protect themselves.
Even self-protection is not enough, what he wants more is to compete for hegemony!
A great cause of the Ancestral Dragon!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates know what to do. If there is any trouble, I will notify Your Majesty immediately."
Tian Hu bowed and replied.
"Okay, then I'll go back first and let me know if there's any news."
Zhao Ding nodded.
"yes."
Tian Hu shouted respectfully.
After saying that, the figure disappeared from the carriage silently.
Watch Tian Hu disappear.
A smile gradually formed on the corner of Zhao Ding's mouth.
After he disappeared for so long, some people must be anxious.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
As the carriage moved forward slowly, it stopped at a place not long after.
"Your Majesty, Duting Station has arrived."
The groom's voice sounded outside the car curtain.
Zhao Ding opened the curtain.
The entrance of Dutingyi.
Lu Tao and Zhang San have been waiting for a long time.
Even Yang Fu, who went to the palace, came back.
Get off the carriage.
A few people didn't say much.
Instead, their eyes crossed slightly.
Following the eyes of Zhang San, Lu Tao and others, Zhao Ding naturally discovered the people from the Imperial City Division hiding in the corner.
Zhao Ding didn't care about these.
Everything is just basic operations.
His return also gave Xiao Daocheng peace of mind.
Entering Dutingyi, I just sat down, not long ago.
A voice sounded outside the door.
"I wonder if the prince is here, but Hu Tiansheng came to pay his respects."
Listening to the voice outside the door, Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows, with a playful smile in his eyes.
"My lord, see you or not?"
Zhang San leaned into Zhao Ding's ear and asked softly.
Zhao Ding stood up and glanced in the direction of the door through the screen window.
Under the darkening sky, Hu Tiansheng and Sun Lan stood quietly at the door of the courtyard, followed by two Dayu guards.
Zhao Ding turned to look at Yang Fu beside him and asked, "Old Master, has that resignation letter been submitted?"
"I handed it over. As the prince expected, Xiao Daocheng did not see me. He just sent someone to send a message and pretended to be sick, asking the subordinate to wait for a while before summoning me again."
Yang Fu replied respectfully.
"Sick, I think he wants to bet on both sides."
Zhao Ding sneered.
Xiao Daocheng, an old fox, knew exactly what he was thinking.
It's not that he disdains Xiao Daocheng's methods, but Zhao Ding would do the same thing if he were in Xiao Daocheng's position.
If a small country wants to survive among the big countries, it must bet on both sides. As for the manipulation of the wall, that is a normal thing, but as long as it does not offend both sides to death.
After all, Ka Dazuo’s fate is vivid in his mind.
Since Xiao Daocheng wants to play, let's play.
But you can't play according to Xiao Daocheng's script, but according to his Zhao Ding's script!
"Mr. Yang Ge, can you be summoned to return home?"
Zhao Ding looked at Yang Fu and asked.
"What is your lord doing?"
Yang Fu frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Ding.
"What does Mr. Yang Ge think Xiao Daocheng wants now?"
Zhao Ding still stood behind the screen window, pursed his lips, and looked at Hu Tiansheng and Sun Lan, who were still standing at the door.
"Then it's natural to sit on the fence and let me, Daqian and Dayu, give enough benefits, and then he can use both sides to get enough benefits for his Northern Alliance."
Looking in the direction indicated by Zhao Ding, Yang Fu smiled slightly.
Judging from his experience in official circles for so many years, he naturally understood Xiao Daocheng's thoughts.
"Then who do you think has the initiative now?"
Zhao Ding asked again.
"Initiative? What does the prince mean by this?"
Yang Fu frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Ding with some confusion.
Zhao Ding smiled and said: "Now that you and I are in Daliang, the initiative is naturally in the hands of Xiao Daocheng, but in fact the real initiative is in the hands of you and me."
"In the hands of you and me? The old minister doesn't understand what the prince said."
Yang Fu frowned and looked at Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding smiled calmly and said: "Mr. Yang Ge, let me ask you a question. In your eyes, Mr. Yang Ge, who is Emperor Yu? Is he a person who is willing to be lonely?"
"Of course it is."
When Zhao Ding mentioned Emperor Yu, Yang Fu nodded repeatedly: "From the time he ascended the throne, to supporting Wen Ziheng to ascend the throne, massacring the Southern Chen Yuan family, to supporting the rebellion of the Seventh Prince of Northern Liang and assassinating the prince not long ago. Look, Emperor Yu’s plans are not small, and he is certainly not a master who is willing to be lonely."
"So facing such a master, do you choose to seek skin from the tiger, or do you choose to fight against the weak to defeat the strong? Especially when Daliang is still caught between danger and danger?"
Zhao Ding continued to ask.
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Yang Fu understood instantly. He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Ding meaningfully and said, "My lord, do you mean to ask the old minister to send a summons back to the country and ask His Majesty to send troops to the border to put pressure on Beiliang?"
"That's natural."
Zhao Ding said noncommittally, "It was Xiao Daocheng who took the initiative to request the marriage in the first place. Now it is him who is making excuses for me. If we don't do anything, we will only be led by him."
Now that he knows his trump card and knows that Emperor Yu is not a person who is willing to be lonely, he will naturally put pressure on him, and even if he puts pressure on him, Xiao Daocheng can't say anything. After all, he broke the promise first.
Due to emotions and reasons, our Dagan army can have a division that is famous, so in terms of morale, our Dagan army occupies the top spot. On the other hand, Daliang can only fall into passivity.
Due to the civil strife in Nanchen, he couldn't invite reinforcements, and he didn't dare to invite reinforcements due to his ambitions. Under this situation, he could only compromise with me, and by then it would be time for you and me to seize more benefits, and the initiative would also be lost. It will fall completely into your and my hands. "
Zhao Ding said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Fu also laughed.
Looking at Zhao Ding, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I know what to do."
After saying that, Yang Fu walked towards the room.
Seeing Yang Fu walking towards the room, Zhao Ding also smiled slightly, brushed off the wrinkles on his body, looked at Zhang San and said: "Go and invite Master Hu to come in. I've kept him waiting for a long time."
After saying that, he sat directly on the main seat.
