Nangong Xin, on the other hand, broke the awkwardness and said, "His Majesty already knows the cause of all this, so why ask if he knows the answer?"    

"Hahaha!" Nangong Yuyun laughed heartily and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, big brother."    

At this moment, Su Ming smiled and said, "What His Royal Highness said is correct. If His Majesty wants to say something, just say it. There is no need to beat around the bush."    

"Alright!" Nangong Yuyun smiled and said, "Since Mr. Su is a straightforward person, then I will be frank with you. The reason I called you and Big Brother over this time is mainly because of the quota for the Skysplit Tower smelting trial."    

Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but furrow his brows and say, "His Majesty has laid out so much. It can't be that he wants to cancel this Su's quota, right?"    

Nangong Yu Yun shook his head.    

"Mr. Su need not worry. Since Zhen gave the officials a quota, they will not go back on their word. It is just that... ......"    

Su Ming said, "But what?"    

Nangong Yu Yun smiled and turned to Nangong Xin, who was standing beside him, and said slowly.    

"Big brother, do you remember the last Skysplit Tower smelting trial? There were a total of several spots, and they were all given to different places."    

Nangong Xin was slightly stunned, and then replied, "The specific quota for each Skysplit Tower trial is set by the Upper Realm, and it will be distributed to our South Huai Nation by the Imperial Court."    

"If this official doesn't remember wrongly, South Huai Nation had a total of nine spots for the last Skysplit Tower smelting trial. The Imperial Family left one for themselves, one for the Hu merchant group, one for South Huai Nation, two for the officials of the Imperial Court, and four for South Huai Nation."    

"That's right." Nangong Yuyun slowly said, "Then Big Brother, do you know how many spots we have in the current Skysplit Tower smelting trial?"    

Nangong Xin slowly said, "I don't know why, but the Upper Realm only gave us two spots this year. One spot has been left within the Imperial Family, and the other has been given to the officials to recommend. "    

"That's not right." Nangong Yuyun slowly nodded his head.    

Nangong Xin was stunned, "But, what does this have to do with the king looking for me and Mr. Su today?"    

"Yes, of course." Nangong Yu Yun slowly said, "Big brother, you also know that in the past years, although South Huai Nation did not have many quotas, all the different levels of South Huai Nation have a certain number of quotas."    

"However, the situation this time is special, and there are only two quotas left for South Huai Nation. The imperial family's quotas must be preserved, so the remaining one... On the surface, it's not bad to give it to the officials, but the person who obtains the slot must also have the ability to convince the various levels of South Huai. "    

Su Ming frowned slightly. "That can't be right. If there are only two quotas, then where did the Hu merchant group get the quotas?"    

Nangong Yu Yun faintly smiled, and Nangong Xin quickly explained, "Mr. Su, don't misunderstand. I forgot to tell you about this matter. The Hu merchant group's spots this time belonged to a special category, and it wasn't included in the entire South Huai Nation. It was obtained through the ability of his brother, Hu Tianqing. "    

Su Ming nodded slightly and said, "Even so, what does Your Majesty want me to do? Just say it."    

"Great!"    

Nangong Yuyun slowly said, "The officials and the South Huai Guard commander have jointly nominated you, Mr. Su. Zhen still admits this point. In other words, you have already obtained the affirmation of South Huai Guard and the officials, Mr. Su."    

"As for the royal family, Zhen has also admitted it. In other words, Mr. Su only needs to obtain the affirmation of the people and this matter will be considered successful."    

"What should we do?" Su Ming said lightly.    

Nangong Yuyun thought for a while, then said, "Let's do it this way. There is a small town on the border between South Huai and South Si called Valley Return Town. There has always been a bandit force that has caused the disaster of the entire Valley Return Town for a long time."    

"There are still ten days left until the Skysplit Tower trial. If you can eliminate this bandit group ten days ago, then it can be considered as benefiting the people of a region. When the time comes, you can take the remaining spots for the Skysplit Tower trial, and it will be perfectly justifiable."    

"This..." Nangong Xin said with some difficulty.    

On the side, Su Ming directly said, "Alright, no problem!"    

"Mr. Su. You..." Nangong Xin looked at Su Ming with a shocked expression. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Su Ming with a wave of his hand.    

"It doesn't matter. What His Majesty said is reasonable. I have no reason to refuse." Su Ming said slowly.    

"Very good!" Nangong Yuyun nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Although this is Mr. Su's own test, it is still for the sake of the Imperial Court. How about this, I will give you the authority to mobilize the garrison in Gugu Town. I will send someone to send the letter to Big Brother's mansion later. "    

Su Ming slowly nodded his head.    

"Alright, that's all for today. Time is of the essence. Mr. Su, get moving as soon as possible. Zhen will wait for your good news in White Sovereign City!"    

After saying that, Nangong Yuyun slowly got up and left. After he left, the group of guards followed him.    

After Nangong Yuyun left, Nangong Xin said with a melancholic expression, "Mr. Su, this matter is going to be troublesome!"    

When Su Ming heard this, he slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it?"    

Nangong Xin sighed and said, "Even if Mr. Su does not agree to this matter, under the circumstances that all the civil and military officials in the court have already recommended a teacher, with me by the side, His Majesty will not be able to deduct your spot for this reason."    

"It's fine." Su Ming said casually, "It is just to eliminate a bandit, this matter is not difficult."    

Nangong Xin sighed and said, "Sir is wrong. The bandits in Guigu Town are not as simple as they seem."    

"What are the difficulties?" Su Ming asked.    

Nangong Xin said slowly, "Mister, there's something you don't know. The terrain of Guigu Town is quite strange. Apart from the many mountains, the most troublesome part is that there are many strange caves, and they are extremely complicated and interconnected."    

"If I have enough time, I believe that Mister will be able to solve this problem. However, we only have ten days left, and we still need to get rid of the delays on the way. In such a short period of time, let alone wiping out the bandits, it would be extremely difficult to find even a single trace of the bandits. "    

"Furthermore, according to rumors, this group of bandits isn't simple. His Majesty knows all of them. This is clearly a trap that His Majesty dug for you, Mr. Su."    

Facing Nangong Xin's words, Su Ming was in deep thought for a moment.    

"It's fine." After pondering for a long time, Su Ming slowly said, "If the Emperor really wants to make things difficult for me, escaping is useless."    

Hearing this, Nangong Xin also let out a long sigh.    

Just as Su Ming had said, if Nangong Yuyun really wanted to make things difficult for him, even if he escaped this time, he would definitely wait for the next step.    

However, at this moment, Nangong Xin and Su Ming still hadn't seen what Nangong Yuyun was thinking.    

To make things difficult for a person, he needed a reason.    

Before this, although Su Ming had some conflicts with the officials in the capital, including the South Huai Guards, with Nangong Xin's understanding of the Emperor, these things were not enough to make the Emperor take them seriously.    

After all, as the ruler of a country, the most important thing was the path of balance.    

Even if Jiang Qing was the Emperor's trusted aide in name, he still had to follow this principle.    

Was it because of the Hu merchant group that made trouble for Su Ming this time?
