You think I'm still going to listen to him?"
Zhao Ci chuckled sheepishly. "My apologies, Uncle. I was being petty. I'll kowtow to you right now to make it up to you!"
"Enough, enough! Making a Prince kowtow to me in apology? I don't have a death wish."
Xiang Yunzhan waved his hand impatiently. "But you, you little rascal, you haven't done anything wrong, so why are you sneaking around? Spit it out. What do you want, coming over so early?"
Zhao Ci chuckled. "It's about those things I had you build last time. I need you to make twenty more. Same old deal, rig them with a self-destruct mechanism. If anyone tries to use them on the sly, everything inside gets blown to smithereens."
