Chapter 352: Leaving Shen Gu Village

Gu Xieqin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xu Xiang’s words. He clasped his fists and solemnly said, "On behalf of the people of the Qin Kingdom, this prince would like to express my thanks to Miss Xu. Thank you for saving my people."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "Your Highness can talk to A Lu Zhi about the contract details and delivery time."

"All right. This prince will prepare the contract as soon as possible." Gu Xieqin said with a smile.

After speaking, the two of them left the meeting room. Ha Tai saw them coming out of the meeting room and asked, "Miss Xu, have you made a decision?"

Xu Xiang sat down beside A Lu Zhi, looked at Ha Tai and said, "We will cooperate with the Qin Kingdom."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Genghai slapped the table and stood up. He pointed to Xu Xiang and said, "Good! How dare you openly collude with the enemy?! I will report to the emperor and ask His Majesty to punish all of you!"

After speaking, he left the conference hall angrily. Seeing Cui Genghai walk away, A Lu Zhi signaled to the Xiuluo warriors to follow him.

Xu Xiang knew what they wanted to do, and said, "Let him go."

Hearing her words, the Xiuluo warriors all looked at Ha Tai. Seeing him nodding, they stood back to their original positions.

Sha Luozan looked at Ha Tai, A Lu Zhi and Xu Xiang, then politely said, "Since Miss Xu has made a decision, then this general should go back and report to His Highness Rui Wang. Farewell."

He nodded to them and walked out calmly. Xu Xiang looked at his back and said, "He is a good general. Unfortunately, he is a general of the Bei Wei Empire."

After she finished speaking, A Lu Zhi asked, "Xu Xiang, why did you let Cui Genghai go? He obviously has malice towards us."

She looked at him and said, "Now is not the time to kill him, and we still need time to accumulate strength. If you kill Cui Genghai when he comes to our village, then we will give the Shang Empire a legitimate reason to attack us. Our current strength is not enough to fight against the Shang Empire."

A Lu Zhi thought about it and said, "I understand."

Listening to their conversation, Ha Tai asked, "Miss Xu, do you have any plans to strengthen our village?"

Xu Xiang nodded to him and said, "Yes. Originally, I didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of Shen Gu Village. But now that I knew many people were coveting this village, I realized that we must have enough strength to protect ourselves. Otherwise, we can only become other people’s slaves."

She frowned slightly and added: "After a few days of observation, I noticed that the newly recruited soldiers lack equipment and weapons. No matter how strong they are, they cannot fight without good weapons and armor."

She then looked at A Lu Zhi and asked, "Is there a blacksmith workshop in this village?"

A Lu Zhi nodded and said, "We have wood workshops and blacksmith workshops. But those blacksmiths and carpenters only make farm tools and houses so far."

Xu Xiang thought for a while and nodded. Not every blacksmith can make good weapons and armor, because unlike forging farming tools, what they need is experience and talent to be able to forge good weapons. While her weapons factory can produce those advanced weapons, she doesn’t have the proper machinery to mass-produce the simple weapons used in this world.

Seeing her troubled face, Qi Nu’a said, "Miss Xu, do you want us to make our own weapons and armor?"

Xu Xiang nodded her head as an answer. Qi Nu’a thought for a while and said, "I know a few people who can make good weapons and armor, but we lack good materials."

Hearing this, Xu Xiang’s eyes lit up, and she said, "Don’t worry about the materials, Fifth Elder. I know where we can get enough materials. What we lack now is not materials, but blacksmiths."

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her with interest. She smiled slightly at them, looked at Qi Nu’a, and said, "Fifth Elder, I will leave the matter of recruiting blacksmiths to you. Once I bring back the materials, we can start making weapons and armor."

Qi Nu’a nodded and said, "Mhm."

She then looked at A Lu Zhi and said, "A Lu Zhi, I will leave the cooperation with the Qin Kingdom to you. You can decide the details of the agreement. As for the seeds and fertilizers they want, I will give it to them when I get back."

A Lu Zhi nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "When are you going to collect the materials?"

"I’m leaving today." She said after thinking for a moment.

A Lu Zhi didn’t expect that she would leave today. He looked at her and said, "Then you should take a few people with you. Mining ore is not an easy task, and it is impossible for you to complete it alone."

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "No need."

Without waiting for A Lu Zhi to persuade her, she got up and said, "Then I will take my leave first. If there is anything to discuss, let’s talk about it after I come back."

After speaking, she walked out of the conference hall. Outside the conference hall, after Sha Luozan, Cui Genghai, and Gu Xieqin left, there were only a few groups of people left. She didn’t need to make any preparations, so she walked towards the entrance of the village.

Xu Xiang saw many visitors visiting the market area near the entrance of Shen Gu Village, so she walked a little further. After walking for more than twenty minutes, she checked the surroundings. Seeing no one around, she took out her wind boots from her space, then flew towards the entrance of the Jia tribe’s secret passage.
