"Is the city lord keeping Xie Rui in exchange for more supplies?" Chu Yun was a little puzzled. According to Su Yu's past personality, Xie Rui's bones were chewed clean by wild beasts.

What Su Yu wanted was not just that little supplies.

"Jin State has an iron-smelting technique, which can make the most of the mined iron ore." Although Chu State also has iron-smelting technology, it is still inferior to Jin State.

During this period of time, she repeatedly asked Xie Rui's party members to test their bottom line. She wanted to know what steps these people could take to save Xie Rui.

So before that, Xie Rui had to be alive.

If the guard's actions were instigated by others, it means that there are people with different intentions hiding around her.

Chu Yun did not expect that Su Yun would actually want Jin's iron training technique, because with this iron training technique, Jin's weapon stock is larger than that of Chu and southern countries. In addition, Jin has not had any wars in the past few years, so it can be inferred Jin's weapon reserves are higher than those of the other two countries.

Such an important technology, Jin will really hand it over for a prince?

Chu Yun felt that this possibility was extremely small, but it was okay to try, what if it happened?

Xie Rui woke up early the next morning.

He opened his eyes, and a slender figure instantly appeared in his pupils, and the hairs on his body stood on end instantly.

Su Yu turned around slowly and looked down at him, "I didn't expect the person who wanted your life to sneak into my city."

Xie Rui's face changed, "What do you mean by that? Don't you want me to die?"

Su Yu raised the corners of his lips indifferently, "I want you to die, but you will not live until now, First Prince, you are with me, living is more valuable."

Xie Rui was silent. It was undeniable that what Su Yu said was reasonable, but he had too many enemies, and he couldn't think of anyone with such long hands who could send someone to this ghostly place to kill him.

Su Yu sat down beside his bed, even if he just sat there, Xie Rui felt a pressure that couldn't be ignored hit him, making him feel weak all over.

"Actually, I don't want to be an enemy of Jin. It's just that you have done so much harm to my citizens before, and you always have to make some compensation."

Xie Rui's heart raced, and he felt that there was something in Su Yun's words, "Just say what you have to say."

"I'm going to let you go, it depends on whether the people on your side have the sincerity."

"what do you want?"

"Iron practice."

"What did you say?" Xie Rui thought he had heard wrong.

He had thought that Su Yun would ask for all kinds of gold and silver treasures, but he didn't expect that she would be so courageous. Iron training is the main gate of Jin State, so how could she easily take it out?

"Do you think that iron training is in my hands, and I can give it to you if you want? You really think highly of me!"

Su Yu was not in a hurry, but just said leisurely: "If this thing is so easy to get, it is not worthy of the eldest prince's life. I heard that Jin's health has been declining in recent years, and he has become more and more powerless about state affairs. , presumably it won’t be long before the crown prince is established, if the First Prince stays in my city all the time, I’m afraid I’ll miss the good time.”

Of course Xie Rui knew what Su Yun said was true or false, otherwise he wouldn't have lost a lot of his hair in such a hurry.

"You can think about it carefully. If you think it through, write a letter to your people. I believe they will try their best to rescue you."

After finishing speaking, Su Yu turned and walked out, leaving Xie Rui alone to weigh the pros and cons.

It is definitely difficult to obtain iron smelting, but compared with his own life, it is nothing at all.

Without thinking for too long, Xie Rui sent someone to send a message to Su Yun, saying that he agreed to Su Yun's request, but the premise was to meet with his cronies, and some things needed to be said to the other party in person.

"This matter is no small matter. It may not be easy for them to take such a big risk with just a letter. The city lord should understand what I mean."

Stealing and practicing iron art is a death penalty for the nine clans.

Su Yu agreed to his request.

After receiving Xie Rui's letter, Mr. Wang sent it to Zhou Wei immediately.

"Third Master, take a look, is this true or false?"

The letter stated that Mr. Wang was to go to the Northern Wilderness to join him in three days, but he was clearly still in the hands of those people.

Zhou Wei looked at the contents of the letter repeatedly, and was sure that it was Xie Rui's personal letter.

"I go."

Mr. Wang was shocked, Xie Rui was already in the hands of the other party, if he was paying a week to go in, then he really didn't have to go back.

"Third master, there may be fraud in this, you should think twice."

Zhou Wei shook his head, Xie Rui didn't know that he had arrived in the border city, and the people in the Northern Wilderness certainly wouldn't know either, so there was no possibility of using tricks to lure him there.

The other party must know that Mr. Wang is just a person who runs errands, and they spend a lot of time trying to catch a person who does errands.

It can be inferred from this that the other party probably really wanted Xie Rui to see them.

So if he went, he could understand the other party's intentions more clearly.

"Don't be afraid, you can just go down and send a message to our people to see if they have found any useful news."

"Yes, little one, I'll send someone to ask."

Zhou Wei was not in a hurry, but waited until the time stated in the letter before he brought a few carts of things to the agreed place and waited.

Qiao Yang had been waiting there early in the morning.

After confirming that Zhou Wei was Xie Rui's person, he took him into the Northern Wilderness to support Tiankui.

Zhou Wei's eyes were covered the whole time, and he couldn't check the surrounding situation at all.

When Zhou Wei's blindfold was taken off, he saw a figure lying on the bed.

In a few days, Xie Rui's body recovered a bit, but he was still weak.

Xie Rui was a little puzzled when she saw Zhou Wei, she didn't recognize Zhou Wei after his disguise.

Zhou Wei stepped forward and said softly, "Is your Highness alright?"

Hearing Zhou Wei's voice, Xie Rui's eyes showed a look of shock, he quickly glanced at the door, and immediately restrained the look in his eyes, for fear of being seen by others.

"You're here, I'm fine, don't worry."

Xie Rui tightly held Zhou Wei's hand in a place where no one outside could see. He was eager to know if Zhou Wei could rescue him.

Zhou Weihui held his hand and slowly shook his head at him, "Your Highness, don't worry, talk slowly if you have something to say."

Xie Rui quickly glanced outside the door, "They want to practice iron art."

Zhou Wei's pupils were shocked, but he quickly restrained his expression, "What a big tone."

"If I get the iron training technique, they will let me go, otherwise..."

"Tell me what you know about this place."

Xie Rui frowned, and said everything he knew.

After Zhou Wei heard this, his brows furrowed. Xie Rui has been here for so long before, and he found out so much?

"Uncle, you must save me!"
