"Oh?&8221;

Wang Chong’s eyes glea itself

"What do youClan, Wang Chong had full confidence in Zhang Shouzhi

"If Young Master thinks back, you would definitely reood portion of the steel walls But later on, once they had finished using up all their refined iron and went to the market to purchase ht,&8221; Zhang Shouzhi said

"How could that be!&8221;

Wang Chong i Shouzhi’s words

"All the places in the Great Tang E a constant stream of refined iron and iron ore to the capital For the last few centuries, there’s always been an abundant supply, with theout How could they run out when it ca Chong’s face was covered in disbelief It wasn’t because he didn’t believe Zhang Shouzhi, but because the Huang Clan’s excuse was not very convincing at all He had lived in the capital for et into trouble, he associated with the scions of many other clans and beca Clan’s excuse was standing on very shaky ground Let alone him, no other person would easily believe such a reason

"In normal circumstances, this truly would be impossible, but a certain incident took place at the tian to act abnorates, they didn’t buy their usual silk, tea leaves, and porcelain Instead, they began to buy refined iron and iron ore It was precisely because of their interference that the Huang Clan couldn’t find any iron ore and refined iron to use&8221;

Buzz!

Before Zhang Shouzhi could even finish speaking, Wang Chong’s entire body tre Shouzhi

"Sir Zhang, what did you say just now? The Arabs?&8221;

"Young Master Chong, what’s wrong?&8221;

Zhang Shouzhi was given a fright by the look on Wang Chong’s face Other than during the southwestern war, Zhang Shouzhi had never seen this sort of expression on his face

"Sir Zhang, you said just now that the Arab ht up all the refined iron and iron ore in the capital?&8221;

Wang Chong ignored Zhang Shouzhi’s question, his ar Shouzhi’s When he saw Zhang Shouzhi give a confused nod, Wang Chong felt his in to ale was quiet, but Wang Chong’s mind was in a state of complete mayhem

Three years of war, ten years of preparation!

Refined iron and iron ore had always been connected to battle and death There was only one reason for the Arabs to begin buying up the refined iron and iron ore of the Central Plains: the Arabs were preparing for a near!

And as for a target worthy of the Arabs’ attention…

In Wang Chong’s ions, the Abbasid Caliphate lay in the lands of the far west While the Great Tang E its expansion and slowly trending toward a defensive stance, the distant Abbasid Caliphate had already subjugated all its neighbors

Even Charax Spasinu had beco of the east still had this sort of impression of the Arabs: they appeared similar to the Hu, and only kne to buy and sell incense, jewels, and camels Their country was extreuryeo

Yet nobody in the Great Tang knew that once the empire finished its expansionary phase, it would welcolorious era of power

This was an e 126In this era, there were only two great empires that could stand level with each other

One was the Tang, and the other was the Abbasid Caliphate

But in this era, neither empire would admit to the other’s existence

If the Abbasid Caliphate wanted to start a war, it would only be in one direction: the east, to the Great Tang or to Sindhu

"Young Master, Young Master…&8221;

A worried voice caan to appear in Wang Chong’s vision

Zhang Shouzhi was looking worriedly at Wang Chong They had just been talking about the Huang Clan and the Arabs when Wang Chongto hi shook his head and ca on with the Huang Clan now Tell them that I can put aside theas they can co ever happened But next ti Clan’s current status and influence, even a long and storied sword-s back centuries could be crushed into dust

This was no si Shouzhi was elated at Wang Chong’s words

"After such ain the world would they ever dare to make another mistake&8221;
