Chapter 756 Since we are all strangers in a foreign land, why don’t we sit down and chat?
Zhuang Ye smiled, a hint of pride on his face, but he didn't quite agree with what he said, "The Gusu family's departure wasn't just for the Eighth Prince's sake."
The reason why the Gusu family was able to come out of retirement was entirely because he had the means!
"So, the two second-rank masters of the Gusu family came out of seclusion because of Mr. Zhuang?" Baili Moqing was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhuang had such a skill!"
Zhuang Ye was clearly not surprised that Baili Moqing knew his identity. He simply smiled confidently, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I understand people's hearts."
"Everyone has desires, no matter how powerful they are!"
"Once people have desires, they naturally have weaknesses, and then it becomes much easier to control them."
The man next to him didn't say anything, but just stared at Baili Moqing with flames of hatred jumping and burning in his eyes.
There were only two masters of the second rank in the Gusu clan. However, only a year after coming out of the mountains, his brother Gusu Lan, another second rank master, died at the hands of Baili Moqing.
That’s right, on the day when the Fourth Prince rebelled, the one guarding the Fourth Prince was actually his younger brother Gusu Lan, and he was the real Flame Palm Gusu Hong.
The hatred of killing the enemy is irreconcilable. Perhaps today is the day for him to take revenge!
Zhuang Ye looked at Baili Moqing and Shu He, then glanced back, showing them his masterpiece. "You two, have you explored this arsenal? Do you think this place is okay?"
Ever since they came in, Gusu Hong had already discovered that outsiders had entered the base, but Zhuang Ye did not come out earlier because he wanted to let Shu He and the others see his masterpiece.
After all, in this era, it would be a shame to be able to make such a hot weapon if there is no one to appreciate it!
Shu He didn't say anything, but she admired him in her heart.
This place is simply not "Taihang"!
At this moment, Zhuang Ye's gaze locked onto Shu He again. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Princess Li, do these look familiar to you?"
After hearing this, Shu He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on her face, "Familiar? Mr. Zhuang, do you think I should be familiar with these things of yours?"
I won’t tell you even if I’m familiar with it!
Zhuang Ye looked at the pair of clear eyes in front of him, which were filled with a hint of doubt, and the doubts in his heart began to waver.
Has she really never seen this?
How do you explain the “potatoes” she made?
Over the past six months, the potatoes that were planted in large quantities in Beisha City have begun to be sold, and some of them have flowed to Kyoto.
He had seen potatoes and eaten them. They were the same variety as the potatoes in the other world, and even the names were the same!
Is this a coincidence?
"If the princess is not familiar with those things, then..." He took out a short pistol from his waist, pointed it at Shu He coldly, and asked: "This, princess, are you familiar with it?"
It was a very exquisite Type 92 pistol, which almost reproduced the pistol she used in another world in terms of both appearance and details.
Seeing her looking at him intently and a look of admiration on her face, he knew that he had guessed right.
This woman, just like him, really comes from another world!
"Princess, since we are both strangers in a foreign land, why don't we sit down and have a good chat?"
Shu He looked thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Okay, since Mr. Zhuang wants to talk, we are naturally delighted."
Zhuang Ye frowned slightly, feeling that she agreed too quickly and it was a bit strange.
Zhuang Ye originally wanted to invite them into the second-floor attic in front to talk, but Shu He refused, saying that they could talk in the small central square, so he had people bring out tables, chairs and benches, and the two sides sat opposite each other.
Shu He and Baili Moqing took off the soldiers' clothes they had stolen before, and both of them returned to their original appearance.
The appearance of the golden boy and the jade girl really makes people feel the embodiment of the phrase "made for each other".
"Mr. Zhuang, before we start chatting, can I ask you a question?"
Shu He spoke with a meaningful smile on her face, which made Zhuang Ye feel a little excited, as if he guessed what she was going to ask.
"Princess, please speak."
However, Shu He didn't ask the question he expected. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, have you gone to such great lengths to create such a sophisticated weapon? Is it to help King Zhao ascend the throne?"
Would a thermal weapons expert from another world accept being inferior to others in this world and making wedding dresses for others?
Zhuang Ye was a little disappointed that the question was not what he expected, but he still answered it.
"Of course. I'm not a prince, I don't have royal blood, I can't become emperor myself, right?"
All he wanted was to hold great power. Being a high-ranking official was no easier than being an emperor!
"Of course, if I can get along with the princess, I'm not against switching sides."
He smiled, and his smile seemed to be somewhat sincere.
This made Shu He a little confused.
Is he sincere in what he said?
Baili Moqing held Shu He's hand and squeezed it gently, then said to Zhuang Ye, "Mr. Zhuang, even if you believe what you said, I don't dare to believe it."
"If Mr. Zhuang could easily switch sides, wouldn't it be better for him to simply present this powerful weapon to the Emperor? Why go through so much trouble to choose among several princes?"
"Besides, in the entire capital, the one with the most potential to become the crown prince is actually my fourth brother. Yet, Mr. Zhuang still chose Old Eighth at such a critical moment. This suggests that the relationship between Mr. Zhuang and Old Eight is more than just a simple 'cooperation,' right?"
Zhuang Ye's eyes showed a hint of surprise, as well as a hint of admiration. "Prince Li is indeed Prince Li. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
Shu He narrowed her eyes slightly. She almost believed what he said just now.
Zhuang Ye looked at Shu He and saw a hint of anger between her brows. He immediately smiled and said, "Princess, there's no need to be angry. I was just joking."
"However, if Prince Li is willing to join us and support Prince Zhao's ascension to the throne, I can guarantee that His Majesty's status will always be higher than it is now!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shu He and said with a faint smile: "This is not a joke."
After hearing this, Shu He sneered: "Mr. Zhuang is really arrogant!"
"What makes you dare to make such a proposal?" She looked at the surrounding factory facilities and smiled. "Is that all?"
"Or is it because of that little gadget in your hand, the musket?"
Shu He straightened his hair and said confidently, "You don't think you're the only one in the world who can make this thing, do you?"
To be honest, she can do it too!
