Chapter 169 Zhu Tiedan arrives, the smelting room is underestimated

The person who came was none other than Zhu Tiedan, the confidant sent by King Panshi Shi Dakai!

Zhu Tiedan did not answer directly, but glanced around.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan immediately understood that Zhu Tiedan must have something confidential, and spoke tactfully.

"Everyone, extend the alert 50 meters outward."

The guards immediately evacuated the area and deliberately closed their ears.

There are some things they are not allowed to listen to. Once they are accidentally involved in secret matters, they may die without knowing how.

Zhu Tiedan spoke only after he made sure that there were no outsiders.

"Your Highness, I am here to claim that I am here to help you receive the mithril, but in fact I am here to kill Lu Ming."

"Eliminate Lu Ming?"

Shichui was shocked.

When he received a reply from his father Shi Dakai, he knew that the matter involving Lu Ming was not simple, but he did not expect that Zhu Tiedan would be sent to deal with the matter specifically.

Who is Zhu Tiedan?

He was a family slave who grew up with his father. He had been Shi Dakai's man since childhood and was his most loyal confidant.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Tiedan knows more secrets than him!

If he said anything bad about himself in front of his father Shi Dakai, he might be punished!

Now that Zhu Tiedan has come in person, this matter will definitely be beyond his previous imagination!

This instantly aroused Shichui's interest. Even though he knew he shouldn't ask, he still couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Eunuch Zhu, what on earth is Lu Ming involved in?"

Zhu Tiedan suddenly raised his head, which was originally slightly lowered, and his narrow eyes flashed with astonishing momentum.

"Your Highness, I advise you to put away your curiosity and stop asking."

"This matter involves too many people. Once it is exposed, even Your Majesty will be blamed. If it goes wrong, the country may be destroyed!"

Zhu Tiedan's words made Shi Chui's pupils tremble and cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes.

"Eunuch Zhu, I understand. I will never ask about this matter again even if you kill me!"

Seeing Shi Chui's statement, Zhu Tiedan nodded with satisfaction.

"Leave Lu Ming's matter to me. You just need to accept the mithril with peace of mind."

A moment later, Shichui and his men entered the mithril mine.

Inside Chiyun City

After half a day, Lu Ming and his companions successfully arrived in Chiyun City following the caravan.

The journey was smooth and quite successful.

At the city gate, Lu Rong bowed to Lu Ming and the others.

"You two, once we arrive at Scarlet Cloud City, we'll say goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After Lu Rong left, A Le looked at the miniature wooden box in his hand curiously.

"What's in this?"

This wooden box was given to them by Lu Rong, saying it was a small thank you gift.

"Just open it and you'll know." Lu Ming said as he opened the wooden box.

"Mithril!"

There were two mithril beans in the wooden box, which looked to weigh two grams.

In the mithril mining area, mithril is the hard currency and is more useful than gold coins.

Ah Le looked at the two mithril beans and smiled, "This Lu Rong is quite a good person."

"After all, he is the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, so he is naturally familiar with these matters of welcoming and seeing off guests."

The two men put away the wooden box and headed to the Earth Core Fire Smelting Room in Scarlet Cloud City.

After paying two gold coins, the two easily found the smelting room.

Looking at the smelting rooms lined up on both sides of the street, Ah Le said in surprise: "It's really spectacular!"

Because of the need to refine mithril ore, every city has a large number of such smelting rooms.

The two came to the rental office.

"Rent a smelting room."

The staff member lowered his head to record something, and did not look up at the two people: "How long is the rental?"

Lu Ming thought about it for a moment. They had collected tens of thousands of ores. It would probably take a long time to smelt them. So he said, "Seven days!"

"what?"

The staff member looked up at Lu Ming in surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Is there a problem?"

The other party looked the two up and down and said, "This should be your first time smelting Mithril Ore."

"Yes!"

"No wonder." The staff member showed an understanding look.

Then he said nothing more and took out a sign.

"The seven-day rental fee is 7 grams of Mithril or gold coins!"

"7 gold coins?"

Before Lu Ming could say anything, A Le was the first to get angry.

"You are robbing me of my money!"

The staff member smiled coldly: "This is the charge standard for the smelting room. If you have the ability, why don't you use it!"

"You!" Ah Le was exhausted.

If you want to refine mithril, you need to use the fire of the earth's core, so renting a smelting room is inevitable.

Just when Ale was getting annoyed, the staff member spoke again.

"If you don't have money, you can choose to rent it for half a day. It only costs 0.5 grams of mithril or 5000 gold coins!"

Seeing the staff looking at him like a poor jerk, Ah Le slammed the table in anger.

"I'll only rent it for seven days! I have plenty of money!"

The staff sneered: "Then pay the rent!"

Lu Ming took out 7 grams of mithril and handed it to the staff. He also had gold coins, but 7 gold coins were not a small number. Once they were taken out directly, the existence of the box monster would be exposed.

The staff member took the mithril and handed each of them a black iron token.

"Smelting Room No. 128!"

A Le took the sign with a cold face, turned around and walked away. Only after he walked a hundred meters did a look of heartache appear on his face.

"7 grams of Mithril! If you put it outside, it can be exchanged for at least 8 gold coins!"

Lu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just 7 grams of mithril, we still have a lot."

Ah Le was still unhappy: "No matter how much Mithril we have, we can't waste it!"

Lu Ming sighed and said, "You are hopeless!"

He had no way to deal with Ale's obsession with money. It was his nature and could not be changed at all!

There were a lot of people coming to rent the smelting room, and the noise made by Ale and his team was quite loud, which immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

When everyone heard that Ale wanted to rent the smelting room for 7 days, they looked at the two in surprise, but they soon thought of something and laughed inwardly.

"It's a new kid again, this is bound to be a loss!"

"Although mithril ore is difficult to smelt, under the calcination of the earth's core fire, a hundred pieces of ore can be smelted in an hour. How much ore can these two newcomers smelt?"

"We only rent it for half a day."

"That's right. If the minimum rental time for the smelting room was not half a day, I would have wanted to rent it for two hours!"

"If they rent it for seven days, these two newcomers will suffer a huge loss. I'm afraid the mithril they extract will not be as much as the loss!"

The onlookers looked at Lu Ming and A Le's backs as they left, whispering to each other with a tone of gloating in their voices.

These people didn't know that Lu Ming and his companions had a large amount of ore, so seven days would not be wasted at all, and might not even be enough.

But this is understandable. Miners are the lowest level existence in the Mithril Mine Area. They are simply unable to store large amounts of ore individually. It is considered good if each person can have two or three hundred pieces of ore.

Of course there is one exception among these people, and that is miner Zhang San!

In fact, Zhang San had discovered Lu Ming and the others early on, but he had been trying to hide himself.

"Given the abilities of these two, I'm afraid they have quite a few ores!"

Looking at the two people who were about to disappear, Zhang San's eyes flickered.

"Should we notify the people in the City Lord's Mansion?"
