Chapter 40 Fallen Iron

The roar of the Crimson Dragon Beast startled the entire Jin Yang Prince's Mansion. In a pavilion in the Jingyuan courtyard, Wu

Wudi, who was playing chess with Mr. Zhuge, trembled slightly upon hearing the roar. His right hand, holding a black piece, trembled involuntarily. He

then glanced towards the Chonghua Hall, his eyes narrowing, appearing somewhat uneasy and absent-minded.

Mr. Zhuge frowned upon seeing this and said calmly, "It seems Your Highness is still haunted by this Crimson Dragon Beast and

harbors resentment !"

Alas! Wu Wudi sighed and frowned, saying, "I just don't understand why that beast is so

fond that traitor. What do I lack compared to him?"

Master Zhuge opened his mouth, intending to say, "That boy might have dragon energy," but seeing Wu Wudi's gloomy

expression, he ultimately refrained from speaking. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, regardless of the Crimson Dragon Beast, that boy

is already dead. Kill him, and the Crimson Dragon Beast will still be yours. No one can take your mount away!"

"Are you trying to comfort me, sir?"

Wu Wudi said, "You know that once a top-tier magical beast recognizes its master, it's

impossible for it to recognize another. Even if I kill that traitor, if I obtain the Crimson Dragon Beast again but cannot tame it, it's useless."

At this point, a guard hurriedly entered the Quiet Garden, came to the pavilion, and bowed to Wu Wudi, saying,

"Your Highness, Lady Feixue has just gone to Chonghua Palace!"

Oh! Wu Wudi nodded and asked the guard, "Do you know what she went to do?"

The guard replied, "I heard it very clearly. Lady Feixue went to question the Third Young Master

about ! This angered the Crimson Dragon Beast, and the roar it just made was directed at Lady Feixue."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wudi habitually waved for the guard to leave and smiled at Mr. Zhuge, saying, "It seems that we don't need

Mr. Zhuge to do anything; someone has already dealt with that traitor for me, saving us a lot of trouble!"

Mr. Zhuge chuckled and said, "Your Highness is referring to the Baili family? Hehe! Your Highness's plan

to use someone else to do your is truly brilliant! By letting the Baili family eliminate Wu Tianjiao,

they will bear all the blame, and Your Highness will not have any trouble! Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"

"To deal with that brat, I need not lift a finger. A little thought is all it takes to obliterate him!"

Wu Wudi declared menacingly. "Once he's dead, I'll reveal the truth to the old emperor: Wu Tianjiao

is his son. Heh heh! Mr. Zhuge, what will the old emperor do if he finds out his own son

was killed by the Baili family?"

"He'll surely exact a furious revenge!"

Mr. Zhuge sneered. "Then the Baili family will cease to exist. In this way, Your Highness will

eliminate Wu Tianjiao and the Baili family without firing a single shot—a double victory, a triple victory... no! It includes the old emperor too!

This plan is so brilliant, I must admit my admiration for Your Highness!"

"That old scoundrel Baili Changkong, on one hand, he's currying favor with my Wu family, and on the other hand, he's secretly colluding with the Heavenly God Palace. Does he

really think I know nothing?"

Wu Wudi said grimly. "What's most hateful is that he sent his daughter to seduce me, plagiarizing my Wu family's martial arts

manuals . His intentions are sinister, and he's plotting something wicked. Hmph! What I hate most are these two-faced villains. If we don't get rid of him,

he'll become a huge threat to my Wu family if he grows too powerful."

"Your Highness is absolutely right!"

Mr. Zhuge said solemnly. "The Baili family's power has grown rapidly in recent years, and their business has become increasingly large,

monopolizing the entire Lingnan region. However... the Baili family is, after all, a century-old family. Their power is deeply rooted

and extensive. To completely eradicate them... well, it's not that I underestimate the old emperor's power, but with the imperial family's limited strength

, it's basically impossible to completely eliminate the Baili family!"

"This will trouble you, sir!"

Wu Wudi said with a smile, "With the Heavenly Dragon Sect's assistance to the royal family, not to mention the Baili family,

even annihilating the Heavenly God Palace would be a piece of cake!"

"Your Highness is too kind!"

Mr. Zhuge said with a wry smile, "Our sect has been in seclusion for a long time, and our rules clearly forbid us from participating in worldly conflicts.

If I were to do so, it would be tantamount to violating the sect's orders. Furthermore, if our sect were to participate in worldly conflicts, other

secluded sects would also be drawn in, and then the world would be in chaos..." As the two were talking, another guard

entered the Quiet Garden. It was none other than Wang Heng.

Wang Heng quickly went to the pavilion and bowed to Wu Wudi, saying, "Your Highness! Miss Sima has returned!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wudi's spirits lifted, and he immediately stood up, asking, "Where is she now?"

"In the front courtyard's living room!"

Wang Heng replied.

"I'm going to see him right away!"

Wu Wudi said excitedly, turning back to Mr. Zhuge with a smile, "Please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

Mr. Zhuge smiled and nodded, saying humorously, "It seems Sima Ying has brought good news for Your Highness. Your Highness,

please hurry back , I'll be here awaiting your good tidings!"

Wu Wudi laughed heartily, looking very pleased with himself, and strode away from Jingyuan.

The sun set in the west, and twilight descended.

At dusk, Wu Tianjiao rode alone on the Crimson Dragon Beast, leaving the Jinyang Prince's Mansion and appearing

on the streets of the capital. The matter of the Crimson Dragon Beast had already spread far and wide, known to everyone. Wu Tianjiao riding the Crimson Dragon Beast on the street

was bound to cause a sensation. The frightened people hid to watch, while the bolder ones followed behind the Crimson Dragon Beast.

Wu Tianjiao also knew that riding the Crimson Dragon Beast on the street would inevitably cause a sensation, but he had no choice. This time, he came out

firstly get a good saddle, and secondly to have four of the best hoof guards made for the Crimson Dragon Beast. Of course, the Crimson Dragon Beast's

hooves didn't need hoof guards, but Wu Tianjiao still wanted to equip it with the finest horseshoes.

To provide the Crimson Dragon Beast with the best horseshoes, Wu Tianjiao wouldn't go to ordinary blacksmith shops; only the Imperial Goldsmiths

could forge the finest horseshoes.

The Goldsmiths were located in the western part of the south of the city, very close to the imperial palace. The Goldsmiths were also the Imperial Workshop,

a place dedicated to manufacturing gold and silver utensils for the royal family. The workshop gathered the world's top blacksmiths and skilled craftsmen, capable of creating

the most exquisite and luxurious gold and silver utensils, as well as forging the finest weapons and armor.

However, the Goldsmiths' services were limited to the royal family and did not serve officials or nobles. Therefore, generally...

Noble officials who wanted to have items forged at the Shanjin Bureau had to obtain prior royal approval; otherwise, it would be considered

a crime of deceiving . However, money talks, and with enough money, it wasn't

impossible to have items forged at the Shanjin Bureau. Given Wu Tianjiao's current status as the "Golden Knife Prince Consort," he was practically a member of the royal family, so it was only natural that he could

enter the Shanjin Bureau to have items forged.

In the capital now, it was practically impossible for anyone not to recognize the Golden Knife Prince Consort, Wu Tianjiao. When Wu Tianjiao

arrived at the Shanjin Bureau, the Grand Supervisor of the Palace Works, Balang, personally greeted him, showing the utmost respect.

Balang was a top-tier gold and silver casting master in the empire; when it came to crafting implements, there was practically nothing he could

n't create.

Balang was in his forties, of medium build, and perhaps due to his long period of pampered life, he

, like most officials and nobles, had a plump face and wore a deep red official robe, resembling a true aristocrat.

"Your Highness, it is an honor to have you here. I have failed to greet you properly, please forgive me!"

Balang said with a fawning smile, leading Wu Tianjiao and the Crimson Dragon Beast into the courtyard of the Shanjin Bureau.

Wu Tianjiao dismounted from the Crimson Dragon Beast, stared at Balang for a few moments, and said with some disbelief, "You

are Balang?"

Balang quickly bowed and said, "Yes, it is. Is there anything Your Highness may do for me? Please give me

your orders, and I will obey them as long as it is within my power!"

"I heard that you are the Great Lion, the first-class gold and silver casting master of the empire, is that right?"

Wu Tianjiao asked.

"I wouldn't dare!"

Balang said modestly, "That's just flattery from outsiders. When it comes to forging the finest lions,

Shenbing Manor is the place to be!"

Hearing the words "Shenbing Manor," Wu Tianjiao's expression changed slightly. Although he had never been to Shenbing Manor,

he had some connection to it, as his lioness, Lan Caidie, was the daughter of Lan Zhengcheng, the manor's lord, known as "

Thousand-Forged ." Balang's mention of Shenbing Manor immediately reminded Wu Tianjiao of his lioness.

Before he descended the mountain, she had already gone to Shenbing Manor. He wondered if she had returned to Hundred Flowers Valley.

Wu Tianjiao sighed inwardly and said to Balang, "Great Lion Balang, I've come to your Shanjin Bureau mainly

to ask you to forge hooves for my mount."

Mount! Balang paused slightly, glancing at the Crimson Dragon Beast beside Wu Tianjiao with a

hint of envy in his eyes. He stroked his sparse goatee and chuckled, "It would be my greatest honor to craft

hooves . I will certainly equip it with two pairs of the finest golden hooves."

"Golden hooves!"

Wu Tianjiao raised an eyebrow, gently stroking the Crimson Dragon Beast's golden horn. After a moment's thought, he asked,

"Only gold, right?"

Balang was taken aback, not understanding Wu Tianjiao's meaning. He cautiously asked, "Your Highness means

…" "I mean, is there anything better than gold?"

Wu Tianjiao asked.

"Better than gold!"

Balang was stunned, frowning, speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao snorted and said unhappily, "You don't have any?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Balang hurriedly bowed and nodded, "If you're talking about something better than gold, then it's only extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

My Shanjin Bureau used to have a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, but..." "Extraterrestrial meteorite iron!"

Wu Tianjiao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "But what? I'll use that extraterrestrial meteorite iron

to forge hooves for my Crimson Dragon Beast. You can pay whatever you want, money is no problem!"

Balang smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you misunderstand me. I mean, my Shanjin Bureau

doesn't have any meteorite iron!"

"No!"

Wu Tianjiao's face immediately darkened, and he said unhappily, "Ba Dashi, are you making fun of me

? You just said you had a piece, and now you say you don't. Are you afraid I won't pay you?"

"Your Highness, please calm down! Your Highness

, please calm down!" Balang hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. It's all my fault for not explaining clearly. This extraterrestrial meteorite is

extremely rare. My Shanjin Bureau did have a piece before, but it was taken away later!"

"Took away! Who...who took it?"

Wu Tianjiao asked anxiously.

Hearing Balang's words, he was naturally anxious. During his time in Hundred Flowers Valley, he had heard the Great Lioness say that extraterrestrial meteorites

were extremely rare, and a small piece of meteorite was worth no less than ten million gold. Weapons forged from it could cut through iron

like mud . He had been secretly pleased when he heard Balang say that the Shanjin Bureau had extraterrestrial meteorites, but

how could he not be anxious when he heard that it had been taken away?

Balang seemed to know Wu Tianjiao's anxious state of mind, and dared not delay, so he hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Prince Consort,

Princess Wude took the Fallen Iron three years ago!"

"Princess Wude!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao's heart sank, and he said, "What did she take it for?

How could you let her take such a valuable Fallen Iron?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but roar.
