The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shaodian Sishui blinked quickly and spoke slowly while thinking.

"I just wanted to come to Guyang to see if you were dead or not." She paused for a moment while thinking and explained, "Oh, by the way, I just wanted to visit you while I was looking for my seventh sister."

Just check to see if he's dead or not, by the way?

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Tanyan's serious expression gradually relaxed, with a deep smile in his eyes.

It seemed as if he had seen through her little trick.

If you want to see him, just say so. Why do you have to say it's just a stop by?

"In that case, let's go."

Gu Tanyan held her hand and stood up.

Shaodian Sishui also stood up and tilted his head to look behind him. "Your eyes are for venting, don't you see there are still wounded people here?"

Gu Tanyan followed her movements and looked, only then did he discover the presence of Shaodian Ziqing.

He waved his hand behind him, "Someone, carry the person up."

Shaodian Sishui said again, "There is another person there, he is dead, we need to dig a pit to bury him."

Gu Tanyan looked back at her and grumbled impatiently, "What a hassle! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

If you had known earlier that there was a death, that person would have been buried long ago.

He said this, but in fact he continued to give orders to the people around him.

"Dig a hole and bury the person on the spot."

He sat down and pulled Shaodian Sishui to sit down with him.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down and roast some meat over the fire." He looked at the roasted wolf meat and asked her, "Have you ever eaten wolf meat?"

Shaodian Sishui shook her head; "No."

Whether in her past life or this life, she would not eat wolf meat, let alone dog meat.

She doesn't eat beef, dog or goose meat, only mutton, chicken and duck.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she never ate the meat of spiritual animals before.

"Oh~~" Gu Tanyan said casually in a long tone; "Wolf meat is not delicious."

Although he said that the food was not tasty, his men tore off a piece of better roasted meat and handed it to Shaodian Sishui.

"If you don't believe it, try it."

Shaodian Si Shui frowned slightly. If it doesn’t taste good, should he give it back to her?

This guy is really sick in the brain.

She didn't want to take it, but she still took it, put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times.

It tastes very delicious. Although no salt or other seasonings are used, it does not have a strong peculiar smell. It is even much better than mutton and has no smell of mutton.

It wasn't as bad as he said.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Tanyan asked with a smile.

Shaodian Si Shui was stunned for a moment, then finally understood what he meant.

Feelings were deliberately deceiving her. Shaodian Sishui sighed, stared at him, and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Gu Tanyan couldn't help laughing, and after getting close to her, he asked in a low voice, "What do you want from me?"

Shaodian Sishui looked back at him with a smile, but her eyes were vaguely looking at some minerals on the ground.

Gu Tanyan showed a serious expression and raised his eyebrows. His expression seemed to say, no matter what you want me to do, I will definitely help you in whatever I can.

After all, they are friends now, aren't they?

Shaodian Sishui asked: "I heard that you don't want to see the Great Zhou and Shanrong make peace, maybe..."

Gu Tanyan's expression changed slightly and he interrupted her before she finished speaking.

"Why, you want me not to target the marriage between Da Zhou and Shan Rong?"

"Not really." Shaodian Sishui stared at him; "The world is bustling with people all for profit, and the world is bustling with people all for profit. I don't agree with the marriage, so I want to cooperate with you."

Gu Tanyan didn't understand her and asked in confusion, "Marriage is so beneficial to the Great Zhou, why don't you agree?"

Shaodian Sishui smiled and said, "Don't you also disagree?"

Gu Tanyan stared at her with a slight pause, trying to see through her, but she had a faint smile on her face, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking through her simple smile.

His Guyang tribe disagreed because the Great Zhou gave the Shanrong the title of King of the Grassland and it was also a vassal state of the Great Zhou.

Once Shanrong really got this title, it would prove that other tribes on the grassland must surrender to the Shanrong King and submit to him.

The King of Shanrong was weak and timid. How could such a person be called the King of Shanrong? His Guyang tribe was the first to disagree.

Therefore, he repeatedly instigated the Shanrong to go to war with the Great Zhou, including their Guyang tribe.

This is the reason why he doesn't want to see a marriage between Da Zhou and Shanrong. Anyone can understand the reason, but what about her?

Why don't you want the Great Zhou to make peace with the Shanrong?

Shaodian Sishui knew his inner thoughts very well, both himself and his enemy.

She said seriously: "Gutanyan, I understand what you are thinking. You want to unify the grassland and become the king, but I am a little bigger than you think."

She wanted to unify the world rather than let Shanrong become a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. Sooner or later, the kings of different surnames would rebel because of their power.

If you want to secure your rule over the world, you naturally have to conquer the world and unify it.

She didn't hide anything. With Gu Tanyan's smart mind, he would guess what she wanted sooner or later. Instead of letting him guess it himself and then not trust her, it was better to tell him now.

Gu Tanyan was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed.

"You are quite ambitious."

Shaodian Sishui smiled and nodded; "Same here."

"How do you want to cooperate?" Gu Tanyan asked her.

Shaodian Sishui turned around, picked up the hematite next to her and handed it to him to see.

"I want this."

Gutanyan looked at the stone in her hand in surprise, frowning slightly.

"What do you want this for?"

This thing is just a piece of stone, not coal ore. What does she want it for?

Shaodian Sishui said: "Don't worry about this. Your Guyang tribe is short of tea, salt and food. I can help you, but the premise is that I need a lot of this stone."

When she was riding past just now, she found hematite ore in many places. She wanted the opportunity to smelt iron to make weapons. Isn't this the time?

Gu Tanyan took the stone from her hand in surprise and looked at it again and again. Apart from the fact that it was a little yellow, he couldn't figure out what this thing was used for.

"Tell me what this is, and I'll trade with you."

Shao Dian Si Shui did not hide it either; "Making weapons."

Gu Tanyan was slightly stunned; "That's it? Can it be used to make weapons?"

He repeatedly held the yellow stone in his hand and examined it, and suddenly he laughed, as if he was laughing at her ignorance.

"Although the color is very similar to chalcopyrite, this is not chalcopyrite." He sighed, smiled and shook his head at her, "The Guyang tribe has chalcopyrite. If you want it, I can trade with you."

He picked up the ore in his hand and threw it directly to her.

"As for this, it's really useless."

Shaodian Sishui smiled and took the hematite: "No, I just want this, this is iron ore, copper is out of date."

Gu Tanyan didn't understand what she was saying and frowned. "What kind of post is this?"

Shaodian Sishui rubbed his temples; "I can't explain it to you clearly, so I just ask you, will you cooperate?"

Gu Tanyan nodded; "You can mine these ores as you like, I don't care."

Shaodian Sishui said, "I need people from your Guyang tribe to help me mine. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

"I will sell you tea, salt, and grain at the price of copper mining. How about that?"

I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand Gutan Inkstone.

"What do you want to do? Do you know how expensive it is to mine copper?"

Shaodian Sishui patted his shoulder and said, "You don't need to worry about anything. You just need to answer me, whether to cooperate or not."

"Cooperation." Gu Tanyan said, "Why wouldn't I cooperate if it's beneficial to me?"
