Chapter 1152

"Shao Bai, you have to get better. I still have a lot of things I want to tell you. You haven't done what you promised me yet, so you can't go back on your word, do you understand?"

Chen Ning held his hand. His fingers already had a bit of warmth and were no longer as cold as ice.

Chu Shao Bai quietly closed his eyes with a calm expression.

"Chen girl, he can't hear you right now. If you have anything to say, wait until he's better. Aren't you going to leave? There are people waiting for you outside. Go, go! "

Gu Qingze couldn't stand women crying the most. He had an impatient look on his face as he urged her.

Chen Ning wiped her tears and forcefully held Chu Shao Bai's hand before turning to leave.

Mo Chuan's expression was serious. He did not directly bring her back to the palace, but rather found a place with no one and slowly spoke.

"Ning 'er, do you know Northern Qi?"

Chen Ning nodded. She had already heard the Eldest Princess say that the continent was divided into East Qin, Southern Mountain, West Chu, and Northern Qi.

In terms of military strength, East Qin and Southern Mountain were the most powerful.

West Chu had been paying tribute to East Qin for many years and had almost become a vassal of East Qin. This made Southern Mountain look at East Qin like a tiger watching its prey, seeing it as a fat piece of meat. They always wanted to take it into their pockets.

As for the northernmost country, Northern Qi, it had maintained a neutral attitude from beginning to end.

It had diplomatic relations with the other three countries. Although East Qin and Southern Mountain had their eyes on Northern Qi, because of Northern Qi's special location, they did not dare to make any rash moves.

After Mo Chuan analyzed the delicate situation of the countries, he said, "East Qin and Southern Mountain have not attacked Northern Qi. There is another important reason. In the extreme north of Northern Qi, there is a very rare ore ….."

A light flashed in Chen Ning's mind and she blurted out, "Profound Cold Iron Stone!"

She suddenly thought of the prize she had won at the lantern show. Chu Shao Bai said it was an incomparably rare Profound Cold Iron Stone.

"Yi? You also know about Profound Cold Iron Stone? " Mo Chuan was a little surprised and then he shook his head and said, "It's not Profound Cold Iron Stone, Profound Cold Iron Stone is much more precious. The ore produced in Northern Qi is called Profound Iron Stone and it contains profound iron. After refining it into weapons, ordinary iron will become sharp, making it a rare treasure. However, this kind of ore can only be produced by a few snowy peaks in Northern Qi, and the quantity is very small. Northern Qi firmly controls the black iron mine in their hands, and all of the produced black iron is sent to the palace, where the craftsmen appointed by the state are responsible for forging weapons. Thus, the quality of Northern Qi's weapons is the best of the three countries. It is also because of this that Dongqin and Southern Mountain have never dared to invade Northern Qi. "

Chen Ning's eyes flashed and she said, "I think what East Qin and Nan Yue want the most is the black iron mine in Northern Qi, right?"

Mo Chuan gave her a look of praise, "Not bad, but other than that, they also want the blueprints of Northern Qi's weapons. Not only does Northern Qi have black iron mines, they also have skilled craftsmen that can forge incomparably sharp weapons, such as crossbows."

"Repeating crossbows?" Chen Ning's eyes opened wide.
