After Zhu Biao left the imperial study, he immediately went to see Zhu Di and told him roughly the situation.
"Hey! Good job Chu Ze!"
After Zhu Di heard this, he was so excited that he slapped the stone table into pieces.
Zhu Biao: "..."
Looking at the broken stone table, a hint of pampering helplessness flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.
He called his servants and asked them to clear away the broken table.
They also changed positions.
"If Chu Ze does this well, it will be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, but there are many variables. After you pass, be more careful. My father has ordered that if you have nothing else to do, set off immediately and rush to Fuzhou ." Zhu Biao was a little anxious.
Fujian is closer to Ryukyu than Yingtian.
By the time Zhu Di passes by, Ryukyu's reply must have been in Kang Cheng's hands.
He is not worried when the letter comes back. When he is worried, Ryukyu will send others into Fuzhou and cause trouble to Chu Ze.
Zhu Di went there to block these troubles for him and allow Chu Ze to deal with Kang Cheng with peace of mind.
Zhu Di also knew that this matter was important. He said: "Don't worry, brother, let's pack our things and set off overnight."
"Okay, take care along the way."
After seeing off Zhu Biao, Zhu Di only packed a few clothes and rode with his guards day and night to Fuzhou.
While he was still on the road, Ryukyu's reply to Kang Cheng was already delivered to Kang Cheng.
After reading the letter in his hand, Kang Cheng's heart relaxed.
He let out a long breath.
The boy looked at Kang Cheng's expression and asked cautiously: "Master, does the king agree?"
"Yes, the king agreed." Kang Cheng put down the letter.
The boy also knew the words and glanced at them subconsciously.
In the letter, the king told Kang Cheng that he must win the bet.
No matter what method is used.
And the people they sent to help have already set off.
Counting the time, we can arrive in Fuzhou tonight.
The boy quickly scanned the letter and said happily: "Great, with the Lord's consent, the Imperial Master can flex his muscles."
Kang Cheng was also very happy.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said in a good mood: "Yes." With the leader of the country, even if he hid some secrets, no one would dare to say no. . If he wins, he will be Ryukyu's hero.
No matter how he calculated it, he didn't lose.
It's just that he still can't figure out how he lost last time.
Later, he also interrogated the guard sent to monitor Lu Huai and made sure that the man did not deceive him. It is also certain that at that time, it was impossible for Zhao Shifa to take away the documents, and it was also certain that he did not take away the documents.
The more this happened, the more he couldn't figure out how Chu Ze took the documents away in advance.
Could it be that Chu Ze had already taken away the documents before that?
He was going to find Chu Ze to find out.
Even if he loses, he must understand where he lost.
After listening to Kang Cheng's words, Chu Ze and Zhu Xi looked at each other, and the two laughed.
Kang Cheng frowned and looked at the two of them.
"Have you laughed enough?" Kang Cheng's face was not very good, and his tone was naturally not good either.
Chu Ze and Zhu Xi stopped laughing.
The smile in Zhu Xi's eyes never faded.
He said: "The people you sent, Imperial Master, only focused on Zhao Shifa, but how do you know that we only sent Zhao Shifa?"
Kang Cheng's expression was startled.
But soon, Kang Cheng said firmly: "It's impossible!"
He had been with Chu Ze and the others for a long time, and they knew exactly who was around them.
If there were other people around Lu Huai, it would be impossible for him not to recognize them.
"National Master, don't be too confident." Chu Ze answered, "Fuzhou is so big, it is easy to find a few people." Chu Ze indeed only arranged for Zhao Shifa to keep an eye on Lu Huai, but in addition to the people around him, he also You can find help from the local area.
At that time, he found a "Shi Qian" to be their helper.
When he made the bet with Kang Cheng, he thought that this person would do something secretly.
So from the beginning, Zhao Shifa was just a cover.
It was the "Shi Qian" that really took action.
Kang Cheng and the others happened to be focusing on Zhao Shifa, so they would not notice anyone else.
Lu Huai must have been very nervous when he went to deliver the documents.
After being frightened by Zhao Shifa again, he became even more panicked.
At that time, if someone accidentally bumped into him, he wouldn't even notice.
And "Shi Qian", who had been waiting for him to deliver it to his door for a long time, took advantage of him and took away his documents.
If Lu Huai went to see Bai Qingwen and others again, he would naturally not be able to produce the documents.
When Lu Huai entered the Bai Mansion, Kang Cheng automatically concluded that Bai Qingwen and others had obtained the documents.
Little did he know that Lu Huai had lost his documents before entering the Bai Mansion.
When Lu Huai came out to look for documents again, he arranged for someone to catch Lu Huai, and he was unaware of it.
Kang Cheng didn't know until the next day that his well-planned plan had been ruined.
Of course, Chu Ze would not explain it to him in such detail.
Being able to remind him that he used local people is already enough.
Chu Ze did not intend to continue talking about this matter, but asked Kang Cheng: "Has your king replied to the letter?"
Although Chu Ze didn't make it obvious, Kang Cheng also guessed the situation based on his words.
Seeing that Chu Ze didn't want to talk in depth, he followed him and changed the topic.
"I'm back," Kang Cheng said, "The king has agreed. The king has said that the stakes must be increased."
This was expected by Chu Ze.
He almost didn't hesitate and asked Kang Cheng to tell him the conditions.
Kang Cheng raised three fingers: "In addition to the conditions you agreed to before, please add three more drawings of weapons. One for weapons used on land and two for weapons used at sea."
Chu Ze smiled and said two words: "Greedy."
"What about your bet? You can't just add ours and not your own." Chu Ze changed his posture and looked at Kang Cheng.
Kang Cheng looked at Chu Ze with an expression that said, "Don't be too greedy." "The Luoxing gold vein alone is enough to buy these things, right?"
You must know that the Falling Star Gold Mine is the largest gold mine in Ryukyu.
It is extremely rich in gold ore.
"Kang Guoshi, you have to understand that we don't tell anyone about this, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. Are you sure that your country's leader says you won't add it?" Chu Ze crossed his legs and looked at Kang Cheng.
Kang Cheng: "..."
Kang Cheng didn't want to join.
But the letter did say that it could be added.
As long as he can win.
You also have to win.
And he felt that these things were not worthy of their heavy investment.
But he didn't expect that Chu Ze would guess it.
And he looked very confident.
This bet is a must.
"Changlin Copper and Gold Mine, Master Chu is satisfied, right?"
Chu Ze's eyes brightened slightly.
This lottery is not bad.
He immediately stood up, reached out and patted Kang Cheng's hand, and said happily: "Deal."
Just as he was talking, a figure walked in quickly from outside the door.
The person who came was standing against the light, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
