After listening to Su Qianxi's words, Mo Zechen's face darkened, his eyes filled with a chilling air.
Of course he knew what this meant.
Mo Zechen said in a deep voice, "Shadow, take my token and immediately go to the city to mobilize troops and surround this area for me. No one is allowed to come near this place without my permission."
As he said that, Mo Zechen looked at Su Honghe, "Please Prime Minister hand the thing in your hand to Yingying. Yingying will go back later and find someone who knows this thing to identify whether it is iron ore."
Although both he and Su Honghe thought this was iron ore, Mo Zechen thought it was better to be cautious.
Let professionals make the judgement, and each other will be more confident.
After Shadow got Mo Zechen's token and the iron ore in Su Honghe's hand, he turned around and went to do what Mo Zechen told him.
"Everyone, let's go out first. We will wait until we find out whether this is an iron mine or not."
Everyone had no objection to Mo Zechen's arrangement and returned the same way.
The suspected discovery of an iron mine made it difficult for everyone to calm down for a while.
After Mo Zechen and his men quickly investigated the gold mine, he prepared to return with Su Qianxi the same way.
Just when Su Qianxi was about to get on the carriage, Su Honghe called out to Su Qianxi, "Su Qianxi, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Su Qianxi turned around and looked at Su Honghe, "Is something wrong?"
"I agreed to the conditions you proposed yesterday."
Su Honghe spoke expressionlessly, his slightly drooped eyes covering up the displeasure in his eyes.
He didn't like the way he and Su Qianxi got along now. He always felt that he was inferior to Su Qianxi.
"okay, I get it."
After hearing this, Su Qianxi just nodded slightly, said nothing, turned around and prepared to leave.
Su Honghe became anxious as soon as he saw it.
"Wait, you haven't said when you will let your second brother out."
He promised to give the stuff himself, so it’s time for Su Qianxi to fulfill her promise.
"When I get my things, Su Hongyu can naturally come out."
"What do you mean?"
Su Honghe frowned slightly and immediately understood what Su Qianxi meant. There was a bit of misunderstood displeasure in his eyebrows, "You are guarding me. Do you think I will break my promise?"
Otherwise, why would Su Qianxi insist on waiting until she got the things in hand before letting Su Hongyu out?
Su Qianxi chuckled, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "If you insist on thinking that way, I can't help it."
"you·····"
Su Honghe was so angry at Su Qianxi's attitude that he stopped breathing. He wanted to say something to reprimand, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Mo Zechen standing aside, and he could only swallow it back in frustration.
This evil girl will piss him off sooner or later!
"I'll leave if nothing happens. Whenever Mr. Su prepares the things and delivers them to me, I will let Su Hongyu go."
Seeing how Su Honghe dared to be angry but dared not speak out, Su Qianxi finally understood why so many people liked the idea of a fox pretending to be a tiger.
This feeling of bullying others is so wonderful, she likes it!
After returning to the city, Mo Zechen went to the government office to handle the official business that had not been handled today, and asked the coachman to take Su Qianxi home.
After returning home, Su Qianxi called Tangyuan, but received no response. She guessed that Tangyuan was still absorbing energy, so she didn't call again.
Mo Zechen, who stayed in the Yamen to handle official duties, waited until the sky was filled with stars before finishing the official duties that had fallen down today.
He thought he would go back after taking care of the matter, but he didn't know that as soon as he got up, he saw someone coming in.
"Haha, my lord, I'm so happy. The thing inside the hole where the princess accidentally fell down is indeed iron ore!"
The visitor's face was red and full of smiles, and he burst into laughter as soon as he entered the door.
"I wonder if your lord can have someone measure the approximate area of the iron mine?"
"Discovering iron ore is not a trivial matter. We need to find out how big the iron ore is as soon as possible so that we can send heavy troops to guard it and arrange for people to mine it."
After being happy, the other party immediately got down to business.
"General Huang, please sit down. Regarding the iron mine, before I leave, I have sent people to guard it. No one is allowed to approach without my permission."
When Mo Zechen heard what General Huang said, his thin lips curled up slightly on his calm face, but then quickly stopped.
This is indeed a great event. After sending General Huang away later, I will have to send a letter to His Majesty as soon as possible.
"As for the measured area, no action has been taken yet. After all, I and the Prime Minister have only seen iron ore once. They had a quick glance at it. After so many years, the memory has been blurred and it is impossible to be sure."
"That's why I asked Shadow to send the stuff to you and ask someone to help you see if it's iron ore."
Mo Zechen explained the situation clearly in a few words, and General Huang nodded.
Indeed, under uncertain circumstances, if you send someone to measure the area, it would be a waste of manpower if you later find out that it was just an error.
And since the regent has not arranged for anyone to measure the area of the iron mine, it means that not many people know about it, so - his chance has come!
"Ahem——"
General Huang cleared his throat before speaking out his purpose.
"Your Majesty, regarding the iron mine, who do you plan to put in charge of security and guarding?"
Before Mo Zechen could speak, General Huang began to recommend himself.
"Xiaoguan feels that one thing is worth nothing. Previously, Shadow took the prince's token to mobilize troops, and Xiaguan came with soldiers and horses to help."
"Xuancheng is not completely stable now, and Xiaguan and his soldiers are still here. Why don't we leave this matter to Xiaguan."
Mo Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at General Huang with his dark eyes.
"General Huang is not a garrison in Xuancheng, and mining iron ore cannot be completed in a short time. You are staying here for a long time with your troops. Aren't you worried about something happening to the city you are garrisoned at?"
"Ouch——"
General Huang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "What's the matter? The troops and horses brought by the official before were only one-third of the garrison."
"In today's peaceful and prosperous times, there is no need to fight. The remaining two-thirds are more than enough to garrison the city, so why worry?"
Speaking of this, General Huang glanced at Mo Zechen sheepishly before continuing.
"It's just that the official is not the garrison general in Xuancheng after all. It is against the rules to leave the garrison and stay in other cities for a long time without His Majesty's permission."
"I came here tonight just to be shy and ask the prince for help in telling His Majesty this matter."
Regent Mo Zechen has a very special status in Yunchao Kingdom. His Majesty gave the regent a preference that even the princes did not have.
As long as the regent is willing to speak, this matter will be settled.
