Chapter 364 Conditions
Helian Yi was a little stunned and didn't understand what Su Jiuyue meant.
Looking at Su Jiuyue blankly.
Did he hear wrongly?
What did the little girl say to him?
Draw a sword?
To her?
Sure?
He heard both words clearly, so why couldn't he understand...
Su Jiuyue knew that she was being looked down upon again.
He pouted helplessly, exerted strength on his hands, and a soft internal force hit the sword at Helian Yi's waist.
Helian Yi felt that although this internal force did not carry any hostility, it was not weak!
He quickly dodged backward.
The sword at the corner of his eye also came out, revealing half of it.
Su Jiuyue took a step forward without saying a word, and pointed the small army green object in his hand at the sword.
With a sound of "clang", the sword at the waist broke!
Su Jiuyue turned around and sat back on the stool.
Looking at Helian Yi's face full of disbelief, she waited calmly for him to come to his senses.
Helian Yi was stunned. He looked at his sword and then at the thing in Su Jiuyue's hand.
"This……"
Broken?!
Just broke like that? ! !
This is a famous sword made by the most famous swordsmith in Nanhuai! It is his most proud work!
Just break like that?
Just a slight scratch from that small object and it broke so beautifully?
Helian Yi pointed at the object in Su Jiuyue's hand with trembling fingers.
It looks like a dagger?
Although the shape is a bit strange, it is a dagger, right?
"This, this...what is this!?"
Helian Yi asked with trembling lips, still not recovering from the shock.
Su Jiuyue clasped her fists apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything suitable to demonstrate with. I ruined your sword. I'll compensate you with a better one than the one on your waist!"
Su Jiuyue took off an exquisite small crossbow from her wrist and pushed it in front of Helian Yi.
"Use this hidden crossbow for self-defense first. Ah, and this dagger as well. I'll give it to you as well."
Helian Yi took the sleeve crossbow and dagger in a daze, and stroked the dagger lovingly.
"It's really a dagger... Is it really just a dagger..."
Helian Yi had no time to take care of the sleeve crossbow, and stroked the dagger over and over again.
He even took off the sword from his waist and stabbed him with a few daggers!
"Clang-clang-clang-clang-"
The sword broke into several pieces!
With every dagger thrust, Helian Yi's eyes became brighter!
So sharp! So hard!
Really cutting iron like clay!
How on earth was this made!
How many surprises does she have in store!
Helian Yi looked at Su Jiuyue, as if he wanted to see through her!
Su Jiuyue saw that he had almost tried it, so she spoke lightly.
"The secret method I want to talk about is the smelting method of this material. The weapons made with this material are indestructible and can resolve the crisis in Nanhuai."
Although Su Jiuyue's tone was flat, Helian Yi's words were moving!
"really!"
Su Jiuyue nodded!
"really?"
Su Jiuyue still nodded affirmatively.
"If this is true, Nan Huai will never forget Master's kindness, and the entire Helian family will obey you till death!"
Helian Yi's eyes were red!
He could imagine how unprecedented and unique such a magical weapon would be!
How much benefit will Nanhuai receive from this!
At the same time, Su Jiuyue also put herself in a huge storm.
Not to mention other countries, even Daxia would not allow such a sinful existence to be obtained by Nanhuai!
Su Jiuyue and the young master have such a good relationship?
Su Jiuyue noticed that Helian Yi's eyes were becoming more and more strange.
Rubbed his eyebrows.
"Don't think it's too easy. Of course I have conditions."
Helian Yi became serious.
No matter what the conditions are, he would devote all his family's strength to obtain this smelting method.
Su Jiuyue curled her lips.
"After all, I am from Daxia. It seems a bit unfair to Daxia to teach this iron smelting technique to Nanhuai..."
"So, this iron smelting technique was not taught to Nan Huai, but to my apprentice. Do you understand?"
Helian Yi nodded firmly.
As a Daxia person, it is really thoughtful of Master to be able to do this.
"Also, you need to promise me that this smelting technique will not be passed on to others, and this material will not be exported to other countries in any form."
Su Jiuyue looked a little serious.
She taught them this art of tempering steel in order to strengthen their national defense. If it were to spread widely, Daxia would probably be threatened.
Of course Helian Yi could think of this, and assured him.
"I promise that it will only be used for military purposes, not commercial purposes. Moreover, Nanhuai and Daxia will never go to war!"
He didn't make this promise out of thin air.
When I came here, the master told me that the friendship between Daxia and Nanhuai will last forever, and that I must not act recklessly within the territory of Xia.
If the Xia Kingdom really taught Nanhuai such a horrifying smelting technique, the entire Nanhuai nation would be grateful to Daxia!
As the successor of the Helian family, it is credible for him to make such a decision.
"So good."
Su Jiuyue touched her chin and said.
"This is not enough. As a citizen of Xia, I don't want my country to be in any danger."
"So, I have one last request."
Su Jiuyue looked at Helian Yi steadily.
Helian Yi bowed his head respectfully.
"Master, please speak."
Su Jiuyue then spoke lightly.
"From now on, this smelting technique can only be inherited and used by the Helian family, and the complete smelting technique can only be passed down orally between family heads and cannot be passed on to outsiders. In addition, 50% of the finished products smelted by this method must be offered to the Xia Kingdom."
As soon as the words fell, there was a long silence.
Helian Yi lowered his head, looking struggling, and frowned as he thought.
Su Jiuyue did not disturb him, but just drank the tea in her hand sip after sip.
Outside, Natun was also pacing back and forth.
I don’t know what Su Jiuyue and Helian Yi had to talk about for so long!
He seemed to feel the fluctuation of internal force just now.
It’s just that Helian Yi is very skilled, so even if he has something to do, it’s impossible that he doesn’t even have time to call him.
Only then did he resist the urge to go in.
Su Jiuyue was waiting for Helian Yi to compromise.
The method of smelting is a big matter.
If Nanhuai could find a way to temper steel into steel, its weapons and equipment would be greatly improved by several levels.
Leaving all other countries far behind.
The so-called internal and external troubles will disappear.
But as a citizen of the Xia Kingdom, he provided Nanhuai with such lethal smelting techniques.
There is no doubt that he does not take Daxia seriously.
So she had to ensure that Xia Kingdom would not be threatened by Nanhuai.
To smelt iron like Nanhuai, is only the first step.
She is also studying some of these things.
But with half of Nanhuai's smelted iron, Nanhuai would never be a threat to Xia State.
Therefore, the decision depends entirely on Helian Yi.
She was betting that Helian Yi would not give up the smelting method that could help Nanhuai get out of the predicament.
He bit Helian Yi's lips again and again, without considering the request made by Su Jiuyue.
The reason why the Helian family was allowed to master the smelting method was because they were the only family in Nanhuai that could compete with the imperial power.
As the Helian family controls half of Nanhuai's economy, they naturally have countless iron ore.
Smelting iron in the name of the Helian family would save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, she has already acknowledged Su Jiuyue as her master, so at least in the next few decades, the Helian family will not pose any threat to her.
Fifty percent of the iron is enough, even if the Helian family gave it to the Xia Kingdom for free, they might not be able to afford it.
but……
If the remaining 50% is used in the Nanhuai Army, the Helian family's reputation in Nanhuai will be unstoppable!
Nanhuai will therefore build the most powerful army!
An army that even the surrounding wolves and tigers are terrified of!
While Nanhuai was consolidating itself, it also became Daxia's arsenal.
I have to say, this move by the master is really brilliant...
Helian Yi closed his eyes.
I wondered in my heart, if this condition was mentioned to the head of the family and before the master.
He asked what the answer would be.
Agree, or...
"I agreed."
Helian Yi uttered these four words with difficulty.
They will definitely agree!
Nanhuai is facing internal and external troubles, and relying solely on the fragrance dew business is not a long-term solution.
It's just helplessness.
With this smelting technique, the army will be reborn, and Nanhuai will surely be reborn!
I followed my master to learn the skills and further developed the art of making incense.
It can also serve as economic support for strengthening the military.
Only then could Nanhuai completely get rid of the prying eyes of other countries.
So, no matter what the cost, Nanhuai must get it!
The Helian family has been loyal to the royal family of Nanhuai for generations. If Helian gets this smelting method, then Nanhuai will get it too.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Su Jiuyue frowned.
"Don't you need to go back and discuss this with the head of the family and the head of the country? You know what 50% iron means, right?"
Su Jiuyue’s subtext is, can you make the decision on such a big matter alone?
Helian Yi felt dry in the mouth, so he poured himself a full cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he forced a smile towards Su Jiuyue.
"Master, don't worry. As the next Patriarch of the Helian Family, I can still do this."
"I will report this to the Lord when I get back. There is no reason for the Lord to object to such a matter that benefits the country and the people."
Seeing him so decisive, Su Jiuyue nodded.
"In this case, let's sign this agreement as proof."
Su Jiuyue took out the disgusting agreement that she had prepared long ago from her arms.
For such a big matter, she naturally wouldn't gamble on the goodness or evil of people's hearts.
After signing this agreement, it will be too late for Helian Yi to regret it.
"Let's make it clear first. What you said today is all from your heart. There is no falsehood. Once the agreement is reached, there will be no chance to regret it."
Su Jiuyue warned him calmly.
Once the agreement is reached, he will always regard her as his master, and will put into practice everything he said today.
Helian Yi looked at the black and white words on the table.
I also know in my heart that it is impossible to restrain myself with just a piece of paper.
But he still nodded solemnly.
Everything he said today came from his heart!
Although the agreement was a joke, it could temporarily put the master's mind at ease.
He will take practical actions to ensure that his master will always feel at ease!
Helian Yi bit his finger, pressed his bloody handprint on the agreement, and handed the agreement respectfully to Su Jiuyue.
"Master, Helian Yi swears on the fate of the entire Helian family that I will never let you down in this life."
Su Jiuyue took the agreement with a smile and prepared to pat Helian Yi's hand.
Seeing that his face was as white as a ghost and he was dressed so weirdly, I couldn't bring myself to do it.
This unfortunate child has talent, and his patriotism is even stronger.
But this aesthetic...
Uh... it's hard to put it into words...
Su Jiuyue took out a thick stack of papers from her arms again.
Helian Yi's eyes were wide open!
Otherwise she is the master!
Look at how many things I have on me!
You must be fully prepared before you come to an appointment!
Thinking of how he had secretly looked down on her because of her young age, he felt his cheeks getting hot.
Su Jiuyue raised the paper in her hand.
"This is the smelting technique of tempering steel, and it also includes some weapon forging techniques."
"After you go back, you must remember these smelting and forging techniques."
"When we start large-scale mining and smelting, we must use people we can trust, and there must not be any communication between the different processes."
"If there is any mistake in any process, the smelting method will not be leaked."
"This matter must be done personally, and it cannot be sloppy."
Helian Yi clasped his fists and bowed.
"Master's teachings, Helian Yi will remember them."
Su Jiuyue handed over the smelting and forging methods to Helian Yi.
"This law has far-reaching implications. The fewer people who know about it, the better. We need to return to Nanhuai and implement it as soon as possible. Don't delay."
Su Jiuyue looked towards the door meaningfully.
Helian Yi understood what she meant immediately.
"Master, rest assured. Apart from reporting this to the Patriarch and the Master, I will not reveal even a single bit of this method."
"Disciple will return as fast as possible! Once the matter in Nanhuai is settled, I will come back to learn from Master!"
Su Jiuyue nodded.
"Next year, when the spring comes and the flowers bloom, I will invite you to enjoy the most beautiful scenery."
Helian Yi knew that Su Jiuyue meant that she hoped to arrange everything before next spring.
He nodded solemnly.
"Sure, Master."
Su Jiuyue smiled, losing some of her seriousness and gaining some playfulness.
"I was just busy talking about business. They say that Shanzhen Pavilion is the best restaurant in Xiuli City, but I haven't had the chance to try it yet."
"If you don't invite Mr. Tu in for dinner, the food will get cold."
Helian Yi carefully put a stack of papers that was more important than his life into his arms, then hurriedly went to open the door.
Natun looked at Helian Yi and asked if there was anything wrong.
Helian Yi responded with a mysterious smile.
Su Jiuyue started eating only after the two of them sat down.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It's said to be the best restaurant, but the taste is still disappointing. I had too high expectations...
Helian Yi has a huge treasure in his arms, so how can he have the mind to taste the food?
Mechanical eating without any taste.
Natun's eyes moved between the two of them.
I always felt that the atmosphere between them became a little subtle when I was away for a while.
Why is it that the way Helian Yi looks at Su Jiuyue is more respectful than when he looks at His Majesty?
What on earth did they just say?
The three of them finished their meal, each with their own thoughts, and Su Jiuyue stood up to say goodbye.
Helian Yi insisted on sending Su Jiuyue to the gate of Liu Mansion before giving up.
This move surprised Natun even more!
Could it be that Helian Yi has been drugged by Boss Su?
How can such a proud person look so servile?
"Hey! What on earth did you two say in there? I see your attitude towards Boss Su..."
Natuenla stopped Helian Yi who was walking in front of him and asked the question in his mind.
Helian Yi stopped and looked back at Natun seriously.
"Go back and pack your things, leave immediately, and go back."
Natun:???
"So urgent?"
Helian Yi nodded seriously.
"The sooner I return, the sooner my heart will be at peace."
Seeing that Natun wanted to ask more questions, Helian Yi just raised his hand to interrupt him.
"You don't need to know too much, just know that staying one more day will be more dangerous."
Possessing peerless forging skills, he dared not delay for a moment.
That Tuen was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them went back to pack up their things and then led their men to rush towards Nanhuai at full speed.
Su Jiuyue entered the mansion and went straight into the room. Seeing that it was still early, she moved her mind and entered the space.
