Su Yue exhaled, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Uncle Song, send a few smart servants to guard the door. If we find someone coming, we will hide in the cellar immediately."

Now that the natural disaster has not really arrived, she cannot openly go against Lin Kai, as that will not benefit either her or the people of Zhuangzi.

Song Mingtao nodded and immediately arranged for his servants to stand guard at the door.

However, Su Yue gestured to Zhong Tie to sit down. After both of them sat down, Su Yue said, "Uncle Zhong, I know you are in a difficult situation now, but I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are willing to consider it."

Zhong Tie raised his head slightly and looked at Su Yue in confusion: "Miss Song, please speak."

Su Yue said solemnly: "Uncle Zhong, that Lin Shizi is a tyrant and is definitely not a good person. If you continue to work for him, you may not have peace in the future. It is better for you to stay and work for me. I will not treat you and your disciples unfairly."

Zhong Tie hesitated: "Miss Song, I appreciate your kindness, but Prince Lin is extremely powerful. If I refuse him, it will probably bring trouble to you and me."

Su Yue smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it. Moreover, I can pay you and your apprentices high wages and provide three meals a day."

The reason why Su Yue was so confident was because she planned to go to Duke Lin’s mansion in person tonight to deal with Lin Kai.

So what if Lin Kai is the male protagonist in the book? Anyone who poses a threat to her will be eliminated. Anyway, the plot is already very different from the book, so one more case won’t hurt.

Zhong Tie's heart moved. He naturally didn't want to work for the court. Although working for the court sounded good, but if you think about it carefully, there is no freedom, and serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

But when he thought about the fact that Duke Lin’s Mansion had the support of the imperial court, Zhong Tie still had some concerns and worries in his heart.

"Miss Song, I have a family to support. If I really follow you, I wonder if you can ensure their safety?

And girl, you have to think clearly. The Lin Guogong Mansion is backed by the imperial court. If we do this, are we going against the imperial court? Will we be caught and beheaded?"

Su Yue nodded slightly and looked at Zhong Tie with a firm expression. "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, since I dare to let you stay, I will naturally have a way to ensure the safety of you and your family.

As for going against the court, that is not the case. Prince Lin's behavior is just his personal robbery, not the intention of the court. We are just protecting our own rights. "

After hearing Su Yue's words, Zhong Tie's worries were slightly relieved, but he was still a little hesitant. "Miss Song, this matter is very serious. Let me think about it again."

Although Su Yue understood Zhong Tie's concerns, she didn't want to give him more time to consider, because the more she thought about it, the more hesitant she became.

"Uncle Zhong, I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible. You have seen what Master Lin did today, and I am afraid you will regret it after tonight.

First, if you don’t agree, they may continue to harass you or arrest your family and threaten you to agree.

Second, even if you agree, do you still want freedom in this life? You will just be like a slave, working like a blacksmith all day long.

If you fight well, you will be rewarded. If you don't fight well, don't even mention you. I don't know if your family will survive. After all, he is from a rich family. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

It's not that Su Yue deliberately wanted to discredit Lin Kai in this way. In the book, Lin Kai is also a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. It's only because he is the male protagonist that everything seems normal.

Now that she is the protagonist of this world, Lin Kai's actions in the book make him look like a very dangerous villain to Su Yue.

Originally, I thought that the two of them had no intersection and I should just ignore him. As long as I could grab his big cannon and ammunition, I would never interfere with him again.

I didn't expect that bastard would dare to take my crossbow. Since it is dangerous, I have to kill him no matter how dangerous it is to prevent future troubles.

Zhong Tie's dark face immediately panicked when he heard this, "Miss Song, what you said is too scary."

Su Yue said seriously: "You feel horrified when I say this. If this really happens, it will not only be horrible but also regrettable.

Don't worry, as long as you work for me, I will ensure your safety, and you don't have to sign any indentures with me. Most importantly, no one can threaten the lives of you and your family."

Zhong Tie felt his mouth dry after hearing this, and couldn't help but pick up the herbal tea next to him and drink it in big gulps. Seeing this, Rendong poured him another cup.

After drinking the water, Zhong Tie calmed down a lot. "Girl, I am just a blacksmith. I can't do anything else. What do you want me to do for you? Let me make it clear in advance that I will not betray the court."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zhong, I won't let you do anything to betray the court. Although I am a woman, I also know how to be loyal to the emperor and love the country.

I kept you here because I hope you can make some fine tools for me. I have also observed for a long time. The iron tools made in your shop are what I like. "

Zhong Tie frowned slightly and said, "Miss, I wonder what kind of tool you need to make? I want to have a general idea of ​​it."

Su Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I can't reveal it completely at the moment, but the general direction is some tools that can be used in daily life and can play a special role at critical moments.

If you stay, you can continue to make those twenty crossbows for me, and there's no need to rush the delivery date.

And I promise you that if you and your family stay, you can do whatever you want when you have nothing to do, and I won’t ask because we are in a cooperative relationship. "

The more Zhong Tie listened, the more excited he became. After all, the conditions offered by Su Yue were much better than those of that damn Prince Lin.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Since the young lady trusts me so much, I will agree to it. However, I also have a request."

Su Yue nodded and said, "Uncle Zhong, please go ahead."

Zhong Tie said solemnly: "I hope that you can really do as you said and ensure the safety of my family. In addition, if things get out of control one day, please let me and my family go and don't implicate us."

Su Yue promised: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhong, I will do what I say. I will make proper arrangements for your family, and if that day ever comes, I will never force you to stay."

Force him to stay? I'm afraid that in a few days, when the heat comes, Zhong Tie will definitely be very glad for the decision he made today.

Zhong Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, to avoid any more trouble, I will go back and arrange for my family and disciples to come over."

Su Yue thought about it and decided to go with Zhong Tie to pick up his family and apprentice. She was worried that Lin Kai would take action in advance and get rid of that bastard at the same time.
