Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 211 Great Qin’s Recruitment, Iron Smelting Hands Technique vs. Eight Quaint Fire Divine Art

Watching Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou, and Lu Wenshuang disappear from sight, Yang Hong felt like crying but had no tears.

Thump!

He slapped himself.

Yang Hong, oh, Yang Hong, you clearly know what kind of person this marquis is. Why are you so easily moved?

Now, you’ve jumped into a huge trap.

Sigh!

If I were given another chance, I… would still choose this!

He looked at the Mo Mei Sword in his hand, and a look of desperation appeared on his face.

For the sake of Mo Mei, death is worth it!

Besides, I might not die, right?

On the way back with Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou had a strange expression on her face. Although Lu Wenshuang was still expressionless, she couldn’t conceal the curiosity in the depths of her eyes.

Yin Wuyou finally couldn’t hold back anymore and asked. “Zhou Shu, why did you get Yang Hong to—”

She was a girl who couldn’t hide her feelings.

“Don’t ask. I won’t tell you,” Zhou Shu said without turning his head.

“Hmph!” Yin Wuyou stomped her foot angrily. “Fine, don’t say it then! I don’t care!”

She glanced at Lu Wenshuang. Little Senior Sister Lu, do you know?

If you don’t know, how would I know? Lu Wenshuang replied with her eyes.

When he returned to his room, Zhou Shu found that Shi Songtao was still there. “Old Shi, you’re still here? What do you want?”

Shi Songtao rolled his eyes. This official envoy really doesn’t care about anything!

“Marquis, Great Qin sent someone to notify us,” Shi Songtao said. “Tomorrow, the Qin emperor will meet with the ten nations to discuss the final candidates to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.”

“That’s it?” Zhou Shu smiled. “Did they say how the final candidates will be decided?”

“No.” Shi Songtao shook his head. “I think they want all the nations to come to a resolution.”

Although Great Qin was the previous host and had the right to decide how to select the next host, their method had to convince the other nations.

Previously, setting up the nine challenges had already made the various nations somewhat unhappy.

If not for the fact that Great Qin was powerful, there would have already been nations that jumped out to oppose it.

Even though no one openly objected to it now, if Great Qin made a similar move again, then things might turn ugly.

“That’s it?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “There’s no need to inform me about such a small matter.”

Is this a small matter?

Isn’t this the reason why we came on this diplomatic mission?

Shi Songtao cursed silently before continuing, “There’s one more thing, Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau’s Grand Superintendent Xu Shi wishes to invite you, Marquis, to attend a banquet.

Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau was similar to Great Xia’s Forging Division. The Weapon Bureau’s grand superintendent was equivalent to the Forging Division’s grand minister.

Moreover, Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau’s grand superintendent’s rank was even higher than Great Xia’s Forging Division’s grand minister’s. He was a second-rank official and held great authority. “Oh?” Zhou Shu’s heart stirred. He came to Great Qin for one reason: to recruit more workers.

Great Qin’s grand superintendent is in charge of Great Qin’s armaments. If I make a deal with

him…

Zhou Shu immediately shook his head. If he made a deal with Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau’s grand superintendent, there would be some risk involved. Would it be considered treason?

Great Xia treated him quite well. It was fine if he threw a few ranked weapons to Great Qin, but it might be too much to get involved with Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau.

“Did he invite all the diplomatic missions, or did he only invite us?” Zhou Shu asked.

“It wasn’t an invitation to us. It was an invitation to you, Marquis,” Shi Songtao said solemnly. “Xu Shu only invited you. He is the most well-known Grand Craftsman in Great Qin. He wants to discuss forging techniques with you.”

“Discuss forging techniques?” Zhou Shu frowned slightly. “I’m just a Forging Master. How can I discuss forging techniques with a Grand Craftsman?”

Marquis, are you an ordinary Forging Master? Shi Songtao cursed silently. The top ten weapons of the Yellow-grade Armament Manual are almost all yours. Who would treat you as an ordinary Forging Master?

Even Grand Craftsmen have to respect you!

“Marquis, if you don’t want to attend the banquet, I’ll send someone to inform Xu Shi,” Shi Songtao said.

“Wait.” Zhou Shu stopped Shi Songtao. After a moment of silence, he said, “We came from afar as guests, so it wouldn’t be good if we directly refused. When is the banquet?”

“Tonight,” Shi Songtao said.

“Alright, I’ll go then.” Zhou Shu pondered. “They didn’t say that I have to go alone, right?”

Shi Songtao thought for a moment and said, “The invitation is for you alone, Marquis. But it didn’t say that you can’t bring anyone along.”

“In that case, come with me. We’ll go together and see how capable Great Qin’s Grand Craftsmen are.”

If Zhou Shu attended the banquet, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang would definitely follow.

The two of them treated themselves as Zhou Shu’s personal guards. Before returning to Great Xia, they would protect Zhou Shu everywhere he went.

In addition, Shi Songtao and Chen Ji also went along

Shi Songtao was an extra, while Chen Ji was also to protect Zhou Shu.

Even though Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang would be there, if there really were enemies that the two of them couldn’t deal with, Chen Ji would be useless.

But if they met some rogues, he couldn’t possibly let the two ladies fight the rogues.

Xu Shi was Great Qin’s Weapon Bureau’s grand superintendent, a second-rank official of the imperial court. But his residence was extremely low-key.
