Chapter 541: Real or Illusory, Imaginary Enemy (Part 2)
In a blink of an eye it was sunset again.
In the back mountain of Qingmuzhai, in a hidden mountain col, Ning Yi walked out with a few followers. The air was still filled with the smell of dry fire.
"Write it down." Ning Yi, who had just checked the situation of the blast furnaces and craftsmen in Luliang Mountain in detail but did not put forward any opinions, spoke in a low voice.
"...The direction of blast furnace research is not only to produce better swords and weapons. It is to further find the principles and ideas of increasing the temperature, further remove the carbon content in the iron, and produce more flexible and tougher iron tools. Every characteristic
All steels can be used, and these characteristics must be mastered. At present, the main directions here are two: first, higher temperature; second, when the molten iron is introduced into the mold, the pursuit of fewer impurities and more
Fewer bubbles. The standard is...at least half the thickness of the elm cannon body, at least twice the amount of gunpowder of the elm cannon, and not exploding the chamber after firing...use this as the purpose first and accumulate experience."
The entourage around him wrote these down in a small notebook with a fine charcoal pen. Ning Yi thought for a moment: "I'll call Master Qin over tonight. I want to talk to him."
The blacksmiths in Qingmuzhai are still from Luliang after all. Ning Yi has just come here, and even if he gives instructions, others can't understand. Only the few craftsmen who came here this time have worked in Zhuji's R&D compound for more than a year.
, able to keep up with Ning Yi's thoughts. After this explanation, the group of people turned out of the mountain col. In front of them were sparse woods and earthy mountain roads. The scenery of Luliang Mountain was difficult to give people a bright feeling, not to mention the green mountains.
Water, at first glance, only makes people feel barren. Trees, stones, wolves, animals, and people are all inhabited, and they are all sparse. Mountain ridges and elusive creeks spread silently among them.
The red-tied figure is coming up the hillside from the side. She is dressed simply, wearing a soapy green top and long skirt. Just looking at this outfit, she is an ordinary farm girl. But among the same farm girls, she
The figure is relatively tall, and the spirit of a martial artist is far superior to that of ordinary people. One look at it will make people feel that there is a pleasant vitality in the steps of this figure. Coupled with the ancient sword held in his left hand,
She is a simple but heart-warming heroine.
The setting sun shone from Ning Yi's side. The woman among the gravel and grass on the mountainside paused for a moment. She raised her left hand holding the sword to her forehead and looked towards this side with squinted eyes, seemingly smiling.
Ning Yi also smiled, turned his head and said to the people next to him: "Let's go." Then he walked towards Hongti.
"Have you seen those stoves?" Hong asked as she walked up to Ning Yi.
"Well, I've finished reading."
"I don't understand this either, so I asked some blacksmiths to come over and let them play with it. Every now and then, I would scare them and pretend to kill them. Now I can shoot with swords and guns quite well. It's very useful.
I don’t know if it’s to your liking.”
"They are basically familiar with each other, and I have to slowly explore the rest." Ning Yi smiled, held Hong Ti's hand, and the two of them walked forward side by side, "Now that you have met the person, what do you think?
Sample?"
"I did as you said and didn't express my position, but what they said was very good. Grandpa Liang just asked me to ask your opinion." The woman raised her sword hand and stroked her hair with a smile. Ning Yi looked at
Looking at her innocent smile, she also laughed. The woman's ability to be the leader of Qingmuzhai for so long could not be entirely due to Liang Bingfu. She actually had her own opinions, but she just didn't say it at the moment. So she asked
Said: "What do you think?"
"I don't want to talk about that Yuan He." Hongti said, "The things he said are all very good, how to use the Zhao'an imperial edict, which adults to have the relationship with, and how to take care of the entire route after the matter is completed, outside Luliang Mountain
How many people do they have? How much money can we make in a year, and how much can he give Lu Liang. It all sounds very good. If it were before, I would want it very much. But there is no way for us to guarantee that he will do this.
.It seems like what the idiom says, Qi... Behind them is the Qi family, I suddenly thought..."
"Qi Dafei." Ning Yi said with a smile, "Yes, the Qi family's power is in the south of Luliang Mountain. When it comes to business, their power is the largest. But if you really cooperate with them, in the end, he
Whether you give him a favor or not depends on his mood. There is no need to talk."
"But in this way, he may stumble us outside the mountain. After all, they are very powerful." Hongti frowned, "There are also people like Wu Shengjun and Dong Pang'er. According to what they said, they have joined the army.
, they have a backer, and they will take good care of their own people. But if they are not their own people, they may also cause harm. In addition, there are some people who have a very good attitude. They can help when Zhao Anzhao is ordered to do so, but they don’t want anything.
Duo. And that girl from Tiger King, I think she is very knowledgeable..."
The two of them walked along the winding mountain road to the small woods ahead, and the sunlight peeled off from the gaps between the trees. Where there were only two of them, the forest seemed quiet and warm. Ning Yi walked with him while walking
she said.
"Some things depend on the concept, and some things depend on the level. From the beginning to the end, Qingmuzhai is open for business. If they are interested, they can actually come. If you want to be alone and have a fight, indeed, any party has this ability
, However, this kind of solitary eating thing is easy to say at home. The forces doing business with the Qi family are not eighty but a hundred. They are tearing apart at every turn. They have as many faces as they can tear apart. The same is true for the army, and the same is true for Tian Hu.
In this way, of course, we do not rule out the possibility that they will become angry, but before that, as long as they can speak clearly, there are still not many traders who will break up with each other casually. But when you talk about Tian Hu, what they say, I probably
You can also guess..."
"You know that Miss Lou, Li Heng, right?" Hongti said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As you know when we were in Hangzhou, her father and brother died in my hands. After the chaos, I thought she died on the way to escape.
Now that I think about it, the incident with the little robber must also have happened because of her."
"She is very powerful." Hongti nodded, recalling the scene when the woman talked in front of her in the lobby of Qingmuzhai in the afternoon, from the timing and convenience of the cooperation between the two parties, to the basis of mutual trust, and the tiger
The king will not interfere with the core of the operation of Qingmuzhai, as well as future business plans, the resources currently controlled by the Tiger King, etc... The two men named Yu Yulin and Tian Shi who were present at the time were both
Almost overshadowed by her presence, if it were a different place without Ning Yi, she would really consider the other party's opinions carefully.
Of course, it's another story now: "In addition to trying to convince me in person, I heard from people that she was also active at the foot of the mountain, connecting with Luanshan King, Luan Heikou and others. If things don't work out, she may have to force
Come up the mountain. It's amazing that a woman like her can do this. Why don't you ask someone to take her..."
Hongti did not continue, but Ning Yi laughed: "Like I said, some things depend on the concept, and some things depend on the degree. If things don't work out, find someone to force you to cooperate, or like Dong Pang'er.
, sending a master to challenge you is a good idea. But... let her do whatever she wants, and don't worry about her... There is no grudge between me and her that must kill her. Back then in Hangzhou, she
He just manages the business for her family. He is capable, but overall he is still a bit naive. To be able to do this to this extent, it must have been difficult all the way."
Ning Yi sighed, then recalled the past, and said with a smile: "Actually, she was very enthusiastic when she hosted me and Tan'er to play in Hangzhou. But later, when the war happened, those people in her family had some bad ideas.
The problem...it's just due to fate. Many things are like this, but there is no need to kill one on sight."
"You killed her father and brother, and now you say this." Hongti tilted her head to look at him, "I don't know how she will feel after hearing this."
"What could I do then? What can she do now? Since it is a knot that cannot be untied, there is no need to think too much."
As he spoke like this, Ning Yi smiled and leaned towards Hongti. There was no one else in the forest, and their lips touched each other. Then Hongti, whose face was slightly hot, also hugged Ning Yi and hugged Ning Yi.
Her forehead was buried between his neck. She was a woman from the mountains. Since she had promised Ning Yi, she was not so coy about it. She didn't know much about holding hands, hugging, and kissing, but she was happy to be with her lover from the bottom of her heart.
As for what Ning Yi wanted to do to her, she was just happy and satisfied.
They talked about trivial things in the woodland, and then walked to the edge of the woodland, sat on the side and looked at the scene below. Hongti was used to living in the mountains, and found a nest of rabbits - she ran into the weeds with piles of rocks,
A fat female rabbit was dragged out from inside. It was also covered with soil and grass stems. It did not look like a martial arts master. It just held the rabbit's ears and held it up to Ning Yi under the sunset. Ling Ning
Yi felt particularly warm.
There were a few little rabbits in the pile of rocks. Hongti didn't catch them. She just held the big rabbit and sat with Ning Yi for a while at the edge of the woodland. When she got up to leave, she thought about it and took the big rabbit in her hand.
Let go.
"Don't get caught again." She squatted there and said this with a faint smile.
Ning Yi watched from the side.
The two of them went back to the cottage together and had dinner with Liang Bingfu. Ning Yi lived in the same courtyard with them at night, he lived in the guest room, and Hong Ti lived two houses away from him. The lights were on in the courtyard at night, and Ning Yi
Yi asked someone to come over to discuss matters, while Hongti and several sisters and aunts living in the yard were dealing with various trivial matters and occasionally walked by under the eaves.
After the leader of the blacksmith surnamed Qin who was brought this time left, Hongti came to knock on the door, but brought hot water and a handkerchief. She was strict to the outside world, but she did not enjoy enjoyment in her private life. Except when necessary, she was a maid who helped with village affairs.
, she does most of the things in life by herself. Sometimes when she is free, she will help the women in the yard choose vegetables and cook. At this time, it is very natural to bring face wash for Ning Yi, of course
, apart from Ning Yi, Liang Bingfu is probably the only one in the entire village who has received such treatment.
In the bright yellow light, the two of them sat in the room like ordinary children in the mountains and chatted happily for a while...
Liang Bingfu stood under the eaves over there and looked, then went in again...
Under the dark sky, it was really a small, small yard...
***************
"This Blood Bodhisattva in Qingmuzhai doesn't seem to want to talk to us!" Yu Yulin said in the room that same night.
"She doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone." At the table not far away, Lou Shuwan held her chin, looking at someone unknown, but her expression looked relaxed and her words seemed leisurely, "But I
It can be seen that she was actually a little tempted by what I said."
"Miss Lou, do you think she wants to sell it for a price?" Yu Yulin asked after picking up a teacup and taking a sip.
"It's possible, but it's not very likely." Lou Shuwan said, "It's right to wait for the price, but she has left us out for so long. Logically speaking, if she is willing to see us today, she should have an idea.
, Now it seems that this Blood Bodhisattva is actually very powerful. She is not willing to cooperate with anyone or cling to anyone. She just wants to do business as before... You can't tell it on the surface..."
Lou Shuwan murmured and then said: "General Yu, Third Prince, do you think she is really the Blood Bodhisattva? How could such a young woman create such a situation? When I saw her today, I felt
She is so amazing, but I really didn’t expect..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's her." Yu Yulin said, "Miss Lou, you are a woman, and you don't know martial arts, so you can't feel it. The third prince, I, and Mr. Qiu can all vaguely feel it.
Yeah. It’s just that her cultivation level is too high and she has almost returned to her original nature, or she no longer has the murderous intention, so Miss Lou, you can’t tell."
"Can you kill people without murderous intentions?" Lou Shuwan asked curiously.
Yu Yulin thought for a while: "For ordinary people, they just take it lightly. They do everything according to their heart, and there is no contradiction or confusion. That's it."
Lou Shuwan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "What I'm more curious about is why Zhu Biao challenged Sha Wanshi today. Can he challenge the Blood Bodhisattva after defeating Sha Wanshi? In addition, the person named Ning over there
What did you do today..."
She was concerned about this and almost muttered the last part to herself. Yu Yulin frowned and looked at Tian Shi who was not participating in the discussion but was lost in thought. After a moment, he said: "Impossible, that Zhu Biao's martial arts
There is absolutely no way he can challenge the Blood Bodhisattva. To challenge him... I'm afraid the inner demon will have to do it himself."
"It's impossible..." Lou Shuwan whispered. After all, it was difficult to accept that Ning Yi's martial arts would reach this level. Then she said: "No matter what, what needs to be done must be done. General Yu, I
Seeing that the Blood Bodhisattva is tempted by my proposal, more chips are between you and the Third Prince. Tomorrow you and the Third Prince will continue to visit her. In short, if we have a good relationship, it will be fine even if we chat. Third Prince,
The rest is up to you."
Going up the mountain today, Lou Shuwan was all about interests. As for marriage, he always wanted to see the reaction and then bring it up later. After all, the people meeting were the parties involved. It was impossible to say directly to their faces, "We, the Tiger King, want to get married. Please marry me."
We are the Third Prince." The other party is a woman. If she becomes angry and angry at that time, it will be a real disaster. Tian Shi's mood felt a little wrong after seeing the other party. At this time, he raised his head from his daze. His words were particularly masculine.
"No problem, I know how to do it." Then he added, "Commander Lou, you are also very powerful. I admire you now."
Lou Shuwan smiled charmingly: "If necessary, I will also visit her. But most importantly, I have to contact Luan Sanlang and others. If things don't work out, we will call more people to share the pie.
.Third Prince, she is a woman after all. No matter how strong a person is, she will still want someone to rely on. Please work harder."
Tian Shi smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.
When Yu Yulin and Tian Shi said goodbye, Lou Shuwan stood up and walked them to the door. She folded her hands in front of her and smiled as she watched the two go back to their room, then looked towards the darkness in the distance. Although there were already people over there.
She made a move, but she still couldn't guess what medicine Ning Yi was selling in the gourd.
In the next few days, Tian Shi began to visit the Blood Bodhisattva frequently, while Lou Shuwan continued to meet with people on various hills to promote the Luliang bandits outside Qingmuzhai to unite. In her conception, when things are halfway done, it should be done.
Someone intervened. At least Ning Yi should be aware of her actions and stop her. She also imagined all kinds of troubles and prepared various countermeasures. She even imagined that Ning Yi would send someone to kill her. She was
For a weak woman, this should be the easiest way to break the situation.
So that three nights later, she woke up from bed and sat on the bed against the wall in a daze, looking at the moonlight shining through the window lattice. She was lost in thought for nearly an hour. She had a vague hallucination that Ning Yi had sent him to kill someone.
Her people will come in from the window, or it may be Ning Yi himself...
However, her killer never came.
Three days later, the noise outside Qingmuzhai has become more and more lively, and the tentacles of various forces have also been extended on a large scale. "Chaos Mountain King" Chen Zhenhai, "Black Skeleton King" Luan Sanlang, Fang Yiyang brothers and other Luliang Mountains
Under Lou Shuwan's operation and lobbying, most of the big tycoons felt the urgency and crisis. In this atmosphere, the remaining forces in Luliang Mountain have also been alerted and have begun to contact and negotiate with these people.
.
But in the midst of this excitement, somewhere in Lou Shuwan's heart became extraordinarily quiet. She felt that something might happen at any time, but she also vaguely felt that the other party had not noticed her movements at all... Because in all the
Among the responses from people, only the people in the yard led by Zhu Biao practiced martial arts, fought, wandered around and basked in the sun all day long, without seeing any movement at all, and Ning Yi... had not yet appeared in her sight...
As people from the mountains of Luliang Mountain began to move out to Qingmuzhai. The rain was about to come, and she couldn't figure out how the other party was going to put an end to this chaos and get the benefits he wanted from it...
