Looking at the two of them being lost, Wei Yi smiled and said,

"Your son, according to the covenant between us, you must provide craftsmen for our Lord."

"You are already a powerful man here, so I'll ask you for this matter."

Hearing this, Zhao Xie's face changed slightly, and he moved his eyes away from Princess Yushu's face.

Wei Yi asked,

"Young Master, what are the requirements? But it's okay."

Zhao Xie squeezed out a smile and said,

"No, but we have sent nearly a hundred craftsmen over to us? Why do the king of the country still need craftsmen?"

"Young Master Xie doesn't know anything."

Wei Yi said immediately,

"The land of Goguryeo is stupid and difficult to educate, and it is extremely difficult for local craftsmen to train them."

"Although the tyrant Qin has not taken action recently, you and I know that with the character of a tyrant, how could he let me go?"

"So, the king has been using reinforcement of city defenses and building defenses, which requires a large number of craftsmen."

Zhao Xie nodded with a deep sense of the same feeling.

"The tyrant is insatiable and he is unwilling to let go of the land of Baiyue, so how can he make Goguryeo depend on it?"

"I'm afraid they will attack Goguryeo after Zhao Tuo pacified Baiyue."

Wei Yi said,

“That’s exactly that.”

"And the transfer of craftsmen from here can also slow down the speed of tyrant Qin's construction of the Great Wall. With Huns and Hu people on one side, tyrant Qin would not dare to force us to wait too much."

Although Zhao Xie was a little surprised that Wei Yi had such an opinion, he still nodded.

"In this way, I will speed up the gathering of craftsmen here and give them to the king."

Wei Yi was overjoyed.

“Great kindness!”

Several people chatted and laughed. After the banquet ended, Wei Yi and Princess Yu Shu left.

Zhao Xie glanced at Zhao Jie next to him and said coldly,

"The person has left."

Zhao Jie came to his senses and looked at Zhao Xie and said,

"Brother, give me this Princess Yushu!"

A chill flashed in Zhao Xie's eyes, and said,

"This is a marriage between Zhao Yan and his family. Do you think it's a joke?"

"If you don't know the importance of this time, you've ruined the same big thing as last time! I'll ask for family rules!"

Speaking of the last incident, Zhao Jie's face turned red, and said,

"Brother, don't you know it all? I was drugged last time!"

Zhao Xie said coldly,

"If I hadn't known that you had been drugged, would I still let you be here?"

"If you look at your sister-in-law like this in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Jie returned with dissatisfaction.

"I see."

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"The two brothers Scar were killed and all the slaves were rescued by the female thief. What should we explain to each other?"

"Did you find out who it is?"

Zhao Jie said with a lip silence.

"I've been with you all the time, how could I know?"

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Did you mess with someone again?"

Zhao Jie lowered his head and did not speak, but his face showed a bit of ruthlessness.

Zhao Xie also wanted to scold the other party, but a guard came in and reported it to him.

"Young Master Xie, my subordinates have already found other teams that captured slaves yesterday and asked clearly."

"Speak quickly!"

"The person who came called himself Zhao Lang in Xianyang."

"Xianyang Zhao Lang?"

Zhao Xie was stunned.

Of course he remembered Zhao Lang, the owner of the wealthy farm, who was also accepted as an introductory disciple by the head of Confucianism.

But how could he appear here?

"Have you found out the other party's identity and location? Where is the female thief?"

Zhao Xie frowned and said,

"Zhao Lang's information was not found. After the other party killed the person, he left very simply."

The guards returned,

"The news about the female flying thief has already emerged. It should be from the farmers. Recently, there have been rumors about the White Lotus Saint among farmers."

"farmhouse?"

Zhao Xie was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Jie, who was beside him, gritted his teeth and said,

"Isn't it just that I took them ten thousand taels of gold? I'll kill that stinky girl sooner or later!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Xie directly scolded,

"Do you want to make a death vengeance with the farmer? Get out of here!"

Zhao Jie left angrily, Zhao Xie covered his forehead in anger, and then said to the guards,

"We will find other slave traders to cooperate. This time we will find a few more, and we need to catch more craftsmen."

"There are also ways to communicate with the female thief, and I said I wanted to talk to the other party in person, and everything was easy to say."

The guards immediately took the order and left

When everyone left, Zhao Xie sighed exhaustedly.

It is really too difficult for the entire Zhao family to be supported by him now.

"Zhao Yan's marriage cannot make any mistakes, and the transaction with the Hu people cannot be stopped. I don't know what happened to the salt field."

At this moment, a servant came to report,

"Young Master, the official in the salt farm asks for a visit."

Zhao Xie was shocked and said,

"Please come in!"

Soon, the minor official who had been in contact with Zhao Lang during the day appeared in front of Zhao Xie.

"Young Master, a young merchant has been sent over from here. I have already told him."

"I can't hand over a thousand kilograms of coarse salt this month, so I'll hand over the salt field to others."

The little official said with a smile.

"That's thank you. After things are done, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Zhao Xie laughed. A thousand pounds of coarse salt was not much, but he naturally would not let the other party produce it.

"Shou Bo, take Shangguan to rest."

When the little official heard this title, he nodded with satisfaction and handed a document to Zhao Xie, saying,

"This is the merchant's document. Please take a look and I will return it to me tomorrow."

Then he followed Shou Bo outside the door and left.

Seeing the little official leave, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Xie's eyes. He must have dealt with these corrupt officials who cooperated with him in the end.
