"What are you talking about? I wonder if I, the king, might want to listen?" Zhu Di's hearty voice came from the door. As the figure approached, the voice became clearer and more distinguishable.
Chu Ze and Zhu Xi immediately recognized that the voice was Zhu Di.
Chu Ze was delighted: "Yongle!"
He stood up quickly, strode towards Zhu Di, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder, and said happily: "We knew you would definitely come, and we didn't want to arrive today." He looked at Zhu Di, who was covered in travel dust, and hurriedly walked towards him. He took it with him, asked him to sit down and rest, and introduced him at the same time, "The one who is taking his place is Ryukyu National Master Yasushiro."
Zhu Di's eyes turned around and circled around Kang Cheng.
"I have long admired your name." Zhu Di bowed his hands to Kang Cheng.
Kang Cheng said proudly and slightly.
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.
Chu Ze walked to Zhu Di and sat down next to him, and said, "You came just in time. Just now, the Imperial Master said that he wanted to bet on one of their gold ore veins, copper ore veins, and the nine-layer hollow ivory exquisite ball, right?"
"Yes, in exchange for a blueprint of the most lethal ship in Master Chu's hand, plus three blueprints of weapons. These are not available in the Ming Dynasty, and will not be available in the future." Kang Cheng raised his chin slightly and looked at Zhu Di. His eyes were even more contemptuous than before, just like the way he looked at Chu Ze when he first met him.
Zhu Di's brows furrowed even more.
He turned his head and asked Chu Ze: "Did you agree?"
"Agreed." Chu Ze nodded.
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then his tense body suddenly relaxed. He leaned back in his chair and said leisurely: "Okay, since you agreed, let's not say anything else. When will the bet start?" Zhu Di said After that, he glanced at Kang Cheng.
Chu Ze took the topic and said, "Just tomorrow."
"National Master, is it okay?"
Chu Ze looked at Kang Cheng.
Kang Cheng glanced at the door, and after a moment, looked back.
"no problem."
When Chu Ze looked at Kang Cheng's door, he also followed Kang Cheng's gaze.
At first, Chu Ze didn't guess what he was looking at, but soon Chu Ze figured it out.
It's probably because his foreign aid hasn't arrived yet, so he's impatient.
Hurry, hurry, no matter how anxious he is, he won't be able to wait for anyone.
Yingtian is so far away from Fuzhou. Zhu Di arrived, but the people from Ryukyu did not arrive, which is enough to explain the problem.
Chu Ze knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then tomorrow."
Kang Cheng said "hmm", stood up and left.
When Kang Cheng walked away, Zhu Ping couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked to Chu Ze in two or three steps. He slapped Chu Ze on the shoulder and said, "Chu Ze, you are hiding this from us now." Right? Fourth child is coming, why didn’t you tell me in advance?!”
The fourth child arrived suddenly, and no one of them received any news.
Just now he was wondering why Chu Ze wasn't surprised at all when he saw the fourth child.
Now it seems that the fourth child coming here is probably related to Chu Ze.
This kid actually kept it secret from him.
It's abominable!
Chu Ze rubbed the painful shoulder, turned around and said with a smile: "Hey, you can't blame me for this. Haven't you already read the letter I wrote?"
"What letter?"
Zhu Fang looked confused: "You have only given me a letter to my father. When did you write a letter to the fourth child?"
Looking at Zhu Xiang who looked puzzled, Chu Ze said: "..."
Why can't this kid become emperor?
Look at this IQ, alas, it is really hopeless.
He glanced at Zhu Xi sympathetically, shook his head and sat back in his chair with regret.
"Alas." Chu Ze sighed heavily, "Hey, I'm fine, don't run to the Qin Tower and Chu Hall. Take a look, you can't even see such an obvious thing."
"Let me ask you, what did we write in the letter we wrote to the emperor?"
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi knows this.
After Chu Ze finished writing the letter, he showed it to Zhu Ping.
What is written above are all the stakes of this bet, as well as some of Chu Ze's requirements.
Didn't involve...
"Oh! We understand." Zhu Xi thought about it carefully and understood. He clapped his hands in sudden realization and said, "My beloved father asked him to help you!"
Chu Ze clapped his hands and gave Zhu Ping a thumbs up.
After all, he is a member of the Lao Zhu family. Although he is usually a bit stupid, when he really uses his brain, it is still somewhat useful.
Chu Ze said: "Exactly."
After receiving Chu Ze's affirmation, Zhu Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked directly at Zhu Di and said, "Then how much money did you bring here?"
"..." Zhu Di was amused, "Second brother, let's be honest, even if we want to protect our shortcomings, we can't protect ourselves like this." The bet is here, and he brought the money over. Is it necessary to continue the bet?
As long as his father makes a decree, he can get one hundred thousand taels of silver in less than three days.
But in this case, is there any need to compare?
Even if he really wanted to cheat like this, it would be because Chu Ze was really no match for the other party, and it would be almost the same if he did it again at that time.
If you come now, you will be laughed at forever.
Of course, if Chu Ze loses to Kang Cheng this time, their Ming Dynasty will also be laughed at...at least for ten lifetimes!
"Chu Ze, are you sure?" Zhu Di was very worried.
Chu Ze, the person involved, was much calmer than Zhu Di.
He rubbed the armrests of the chair with his fingers idly, and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? If this bet wins, we are all happy. If we lose, we will be blamed, and we won't hurt you. Yongle, you didn't get much rest along the way, right?"
This topic has changed a bit.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, how did you know?"
They were entrusted with the imperial decree and rushed here in a hurry. The horses stopped and people did not rest along the way, and they rushed here day and night.
I was afraid that I would be late and delay things.
Fortunately, things are going smoothly.
Chu Ze glanced at Zhu Di with disgust.
Just now he was calling Zhu Peng stupid, thinking that Zhu Di was the one who wanted to be the emperor after all, so he should be smart anyway.
As a result, I started to act foolishly on this matter.
They all knew how far away Ying Tianli was at this time. How many days had it been since the letter was sent back?
Zhu Di is here.
If you have to rush day and night, can you make it there?
It can't be reached at all.
Looking at the black and blue under his eyes, they were heavier than he had been a few days ago.
With that haggard face, some people thought he was doing something illegal.
"You go wash up and rest first. After you have rested, we will pick you up." Chu Ze called Zhao Si and asked him to arrange a room for Zhu Di and others.
Zhu Di was sleepy, but he was more worried about the bet.
Seeing Chu Ze about to leave, he immediately followed and asked, "What about raising money?"
Chu Ze looked back at him: "This matter cannot be rushed. We will talk about it after you sleep."
Zhu Xi patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "What are you worried about? He knows it well."
Chu Ze, who had just walked out of the door, curled his lips secretly when he heard this.
Count?
What's the number?
Chu Ze had no idea.
