"Although Uncle Shitou is nominally the director of the weapons manufacturing bureau, he has no interest in managing the manufacturing bureau. He still handed over the management of the manufacturing bureau to other people in the Xia family and became a hands-off shopkeeper. With my father's acquiescence,

Next, Uncle Shitou built a weapons workshop in the hill behind Xia's house and settled down."

"Except for eating and resting every day, he kept himself locked in, smelting metal and forging weapons. Every once in a while, his father would arrange for someone to go to the workshop to retrieve the weapons made by Uncle Shitou, and take them to the market for auction in the name of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau.

.Every weapon made by Uncle Shitou is of the highest quality. The experts who sell weapons, the masters of weapon production and the senior officials of Yanyao Army all praise Uncle Shitou's weapons. Therefore, as long as the name of Uncle Shitou is listed in every auction,

Most of their weapons are priceless. Once, a top-quality dagger made entirely of flames was sold for a sky-high price of hundreds of millions." Xia Muyao continued.

"Is this the origin of his nickname 'Soldier Lord'?" Di Xi asked.

Xia Muyao nodded: "However, I only found out about this later."

"Later?" Yu Zhibo asked curiously.

"That's what my father told me after he left the Xia family." At this point, Xia Muyao's eyes became a little sad.

"Sister Mu Yao, how did you meet Uncle Shitou?" Lei Na, who was lying on the sofa, was still very restless and asked with her big angry eyes blinking.

"That was also an accidental opportunity." Xia Muyao continued, "My training ground is very close to the back mountain, and I pass by it when I go home after training every day. One day, I finished the day's combat training and passed by as usual.

When I was walking up the mountain, I was attracted by the sound of forging iron. I went to look for the sound and found that there was a weapons workshop hidden in the back of the mountain. My curiosity prompted me to go in."

"Good guy, there is simply a museum of weapons. These weapons have gone beyond the scope of weapons. They are simply pieces of art. I can't put it down every one of them."

Hearing this, Yu Zhibo secretly took out a small notebook and wrote, "Mu Yao's favorite things: weapons."

"I thought that the people who could make these weapons must not be mortals. So I tiptoed into the inner room and saw a burly middle-aged man, shirtless, with his back to me, holding a huge

With his hammer, he hit a piece of Yanyao alloy one hammer after another. Surprisingly, Yanyao alloy, which has always been known for its hardness, actually felt like an ordinary piece of metal in his hands. In a short time, he was able to sharpen the iron.

An ax as thick as clay was born in his hand."

"'Did you make all these Yan Yao weapons by yourself?' I remember this was the first thing I said to him. 'Little girl, who asked you to come here.' He turned around, blowing his beard and staring.

The look shocked me."

"Later, at the end of every day's training, I would go to Uncle Shitou's weapons workshop to watch him make weapons. At first, he just focused on forging by himself, as if I didn't exist. I didn't talk to him, so I just kept watching him make weapons.

One good weapon after another.”

"Finally, after several days, he couldn't help it anymore and asked: 'Little girl, what's the point of you coming to see me, a bad old man, forging iron every day?'"

"'It's not interesting, I just think it's funny the way you strike with a big hammer.' I said casually. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was not angry at all: 'You, little girl, are quite interesting.'"

"I told him my name was 'Ayao' and he asked me to call him 'Uncle Shitou'. We became good friends and talked about everything. I would complain to him about the hard work of training; he would also tell me about the time when he was in

Stories about life and death on the battlefield. Sometimes I would secretly bring him snacks from home; he would also use leftover materials to make darts, knives and other objects for me. He even taught me some techniques and formulas for forging Yan Yao. He

He also promised me that when I grow up, he would personally build a useful weapon for me."

“Two years like this have passed without me noticing, and the day for me to accept the family inheritance is approaching. At a family gathering, when my father proudly introduced me to everyone for the first time, I saw him sitting in the main hall.

The astonished Uncle Shitou at the table found out at that time that Ayao, whom he talked to every day, was the eldest lady of the Xia family. After the family gathering, although I still went to see Uncle Shitou every day, Uncle Shitou deliberately talked to him.

I keep my distance. And I no longer call me Ayao, only Miss."

"Later, just before I accepted the family inheritance, I received news that Uncle Shitou had a big quarrel with my father for some unknown reason. I ran to his weapons workshop, but no matter how I begged him, he wouldn't

They refused to see me, and the only response I received was the thundering sound of iron. After I accepted the family inheritance, I was in a coma for several days due to the backlash of the true fire power."

"When I woke up, I heard from people in the house that Uncle Shitou had resigned because he was suspected of selling a large number of top-quality weapons to the rebels and was missing. When I ran to the weapons workshop in the back mountain, he was already gone.

The building was empty. I ran back to question my father and explained to my father that it was impossible for Uncle Shitou to collude with the rebels and asked him to go and get Uncle Shitou back. But my father said, this is what your Uncle Shitou means, and it is also his intention.

The best place to stay.”

"Then my father handed me a package and told me that it was what Uncle Shitou left for me before he left. I opened it and saw that inside was the 'casting' sword you see now. After I joined the army, I wanted to

I tried many ways to find Uncle Shitou and wanted to ask why he left without saying goodbye, but all failed. I didn't expect that participating in the "Proxima Centauri Project" would allow me to meet him again, but I didn't expect...

"Speaking of this, Xia Muyao also stopped talking and sat there in silence. Everyone present was also sighing.

Yu Zhibo punched the wall of the conference room so hard that a dent was made in the wall made of interest gold. After punching him, Yu Zhibo picked up "Dianhai" and walked out of the conference room.

go.

"Brother Bo, where are you going?" Di Xi quickly stood in front of Yu Zhibo, fearing that he would cause trouble for Shi Sui.

Without saying a word, Yu Zhibo pushed Di Xi away, walked straight to the door and stopped. "Don't worry, I just went outside to get some air, and I didn't plan to cause trouble with that old stone. I still know what's appropriate!"

With this sentence, his back disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Di Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, as he really couldn't make any more trouble at this time.

"It smells so strong of vinegar!" Feng Ying'er said with a bitter smile.

"Vinegar? Where is it? Where is it? You don't smell it?" Lei Na looked around in confusion.

Xia Muyao also raised her head and glanced at the door intentionally or unintentionally, looking thoughtful.

In the forging room of the satellite base, Shi Sui held up a giant hammer and used all his strength to repeatedly hit a piece of deformed metal.

"Brother Xia, how could you let Ayao, oh no, the eldest lady put herself in danger?" In the hall of Xia Mansion, Shi Sui unexpectedly shouted at Xia Yixiong, whom he regarded as his brother, "She is still so young,

If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Brother Shi, it's not like you don't know that this is the fate of the heirs of our Xia family. Every heir must shoulder the responsibility of guarding Yanyao Star. Even Mu Yao is no exception. I don't want her to age.

Qingqing had to endure such a huge ordeal, but Zhenhuo chose her exactly, and she is the only one in our entire Xia family who has this talent." Xia Yixiong said helplessly, with a hint of reluctance in his words.

"But this is unfair to the eldest lady! Why should a little girl bear such a huge responsibility? Why not us, why not others?" Shi Sui said unconvinced.

"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? Do you want me to exchange the lives of tens of thousands of people in Yanyao Star for the life of my daughter? You and I have gone through life and death together on the battlefield, haven't you witnessed scenes of life and death with your own eyes?

Do you want the people of Yanyao Star to suffer the same misfortune as you..." As soon as Xia Yixiong finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized to Shi Sui, "I'm sorry, Brother Shi. Brother Xia

Momentarily excited."

"Brother Xia, it's okay. I actually know your situation, but I really can't bear to look at the eldest lady..."

"Master! Something bad happened?" The housekeeper rushed in hurriedly, "Ah, Master Shi is here too!"

"What's going on? You're so anxious." Xia Yixiong asked loudly. He was very dissatisfied with the housekeeper for interrupting the previous conversation between him and Shi Sui.

"Master, something big happened...but" the butler said vaguely and glanced at Shi Sui.

"Brother, if you have something to do, I'll leave first." Shi Sui knew what he was doing and was about to stand up and leave.

"My brother, what should I avoid?"

Upon seeing this, the butler could only report truthfully: "Sir, the weapons manufacturing bureau has been sealed off by the government! Someone reported that someone in the manufacturing bureau secretly sold weapons to the rebels, and the military seems to be involved in the investigation." The butler lowered his head and said,

He didn't dare to look into Xia Yixiong's eyes at all.

"What, that's unreasonable! Xia Yijie, you beast! You are trying to destroy the Xia family's foundation!" Xia Yixiong roared.

Xia Yixiong knew everything about Shi Sui's role as the boss. Firstly, Shi Sui was not suitable to manage the manufacturing bureau. Secondly, with Shi Sui's prestige and skills, the manufacturing bureau would benefit a lot from his name. Moreover, Xia Yixiong's right

Shi Sui's understanding was that it was impossible for him to do such a thing. The only person who could do such a thing was the actual manager of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau—Xia Yijie, Xia Yixiong's clan brother.

"No, I have to catch the culprit and hand him over." Xia Yixiong said, and was about to set off to arrest Xia Yijie.

"Brother Xia, wait a moment." Shi Sui grabbed Xia Yixiong.

"It has nothing to do with you here. Please step back!" Shi Sui said to the housekeeper. As if he had received an amnesty, the housekeeper resigned and ran out of the hall.

"Brother Shi, I'm so anxious, why are you stopping me!" Xia Yixiong looked very anxious.

"Brother Xia, if you think about it carefully, if you handed over Xia Yijie, wouldn't it be the fault of your Xia family? The Xia family still can't be saved! So there is only one way." Shi Sui said calmly.

"Brother Shi, what you mean is, no, absolutely not!" Xia Yixiong already understood what Shi Sui meant.

"Brother Xia, please listen to me first. In fact, the reason why I came to you this time is to say goodbye to you. I really can't bear to see what Mu Yao will be like in the future. So just in time, you put all the blame on

Just think of me as repaying the kindness you showed me back then!" Shi Sui said his own method.

"Absolutely not. Who do you think I, Xia Yixiong, am? I would rather sacrifice the reputation of the Xia family than let you, my brother, bear the unjust injustice for our family." Xia Yixiong said excitedly.

"Brother Xia, allow me to call you one last time. Have you forgotten the mistakes I, Shi Sui, made back then? If it hadn't been for you, I would have committed suicide in front of her grave." At this point, Shi Sui's eyes were already set.

With tears in my eyes.

"Brother, why do you still remember what happened back then? I've already said it, it's not your fault at all!" Xia Yixiong couldn't stop crying. "I have made up my mind! I just ask you not to tell A Yao,

Please help me conceal the real reason for my leaving. Also, this is the weapon I promised her to build for her. Please give it to her after she accepts the inheritance..."

A few days later, Yanyao Star's military issued a wanted order: "Shi Zhongtian, former deputy commander of Yanyao Star's First Marine Special Forces Regiment, is hereby wanted for arrest on suspicion of liaison with the rebels..."

Not only Xia Muyao, Shi Sui's memories also kept appearing in his mind as he hammered down one after another. Unknowingly, the unlucky piece of metal had been beaten into a pie by him.

"Old Shi!" When Shi Sui heard someone calling him, he immediately stopped holding the sledgehammer in his hand. He looked back and saw that it was Mannheim walking in with a wine bottle in his arms. "You old dragon, come to me for help."

What's the matter?" Shi Sui asked. "Nothing else, let's taste the wine!" Mannheim pointed at the wine bottle and said. Shi Sui was silent for a while and replied: "Okay, thank you!"
