Chapter 51
"Your family?" Shi Yanhu looked at her suspiciously, looked at the knife repeatedly, and smacked his lips in distress: "Such a good knife, it is actually used by a little girl like you, and it can be broken, it is really a waste of things, and it is a violent thing." ”
Seeing that his current expression didn't seem to want to express that this knife was all his attitude, Feng Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "This knife was given to me by my family for self-defense, saying that this knife is gorgeous and suitable for girls, what's the matter?"
Shi Yan carefully checked the traces of the broken knife: "How did it break?"
"I got into an argument with someone and was interrupted by that person. After calming down, Feng Ge made up the story very neatly.
Hearing her words, Shi Yan frowned: "This knife was broken by someone with internal force! You had an argument with this person, and he only broke your knife, but did not kill you?"
Feng Ge sighed lightly: "Yes, he wants to force me to marry him, I have no choice but to use this knife to kill myself, he ...... He broke the knife. Feng Ge's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Fortunately, when he saw that I was so resolute, he no longer forced me." ”
"This man is useless. Shi Yan shook his head, "How can it be useful to chase girls, if I see him, I will definitely kill him!"
He walked towards the smelting room with the knife broken in two, thinking that this knife was originally a golden thing, Feng Ge asked with some concern: "Then can this knife be repaired?" My family doesn't know about this yet, and I don't want them to worry. ”
"Your family can afford to give you such a knife, why don't you tell your family and avenge you?" Shi Yan was puzzled.
Feng Ge was speechless for a while, lowered his head, and didn't say a reason for a long time, Gao Zhenbei couldn't stand it: "You are a big man, why do you care about other people's little girls, can't you see that this little girl has affection for that person?" Otherwise, why don't you tell your family, as long as you are smart, you talk a lot!"
"Why don't you be together if you have love in your heart?" Shi Yan, a single dog of 10,000 years, couldn't understand it at all.
Gao Zhenbei took his shoulders and strode towards the smelting room: "You are becoming more and more like the gossip long-tongued woman in the village, hurry up, hurry up and repair, I will still find you to drink after repairing." ”
The furnace was opened, and the red fire illuminated the smelting room, and the flames rose, Shi Yan threw off his shirt and began the repair work.
Gao Zhenbei pulled the bellows for him, Feng Ge wanted to help, but was kicked out by two people, saying that the god of fire hates women and women are not allowed to enter.
No way, if you ask for someone, you have to listen to others, Feng Ge had to come out, a girl came to invite her to the house to rest and use tea, as soon as Feng Ge entered the door, he saw the snow wolf lying on the ground sleeping, heard her enter the door, immediately jumped up, circled around her, and sniffed again, probably smelling the smell of a tiger on her, so he yelled at her, the sound was deafening, and scared Feng Ge.
"I'm sorry, this dog is not like this on weekdays, I don't know why the girl is so abnormal. Yahuan was very sorry to drag the dog away, but the snow wolf refused to go out, the whole body was lying on the ground, dozens of pounds of weight plus it had the heart to rely on, where could Yahuan drag it, it seemed to know that it was because he had just yelled at Feng Ge a few times, so it would be dragged away, in order to show his sincerity to change, it sat in front of Feng Ge, wagged its tail, stretched out its claws, and seemed to shake hands with Feng Ge.
Feng Ge felt a little funny, as long as the snow wolf didn't show that she was going to attack, she was not afraid, so she smiled and said: "Forget it, it is the master, I am the guest, and it is always bad to be a guest." ”
In this room, there are books everywhere, and the table is full of drawings, Feng Ge can't help but think of Lin Xiangyu, who is full of love for mechanical arts, the world's engineering man is a family, she has no intention of snooping on other people's privacy, and she didn't go to the table to see what is drawn on the drawings.
Feng Ge sat for a while, quite bored, and it happened that a fresh breeze blew from the window, and the drawings on the table were blown away, and Yahuan was waiting outside the house. Sitting motionless in the drawings of one place by himself also seems very inexplicable.
Since Yahuan was willing to let her in and sit, then these drawings must not be top-secret information, right? Feng Ge thought about it, so he squatted down and picked up the drawings on the ground one by one.
These drawings seem to be just some drafts, many of the paper has been scribbled and altered, and there is simply a large cloud of ink, it seems that Shi Yan is also developing something new, but because of the lack of results, he is very upset.
Although Feng Ge didn't understand it, he could also see that the drawings were large siege weapons.
The Western Xia people are merchants, they just want to do business and get rich, and they don't want to fight, Daheng has never liked to take the initiative to expand abroad, and Daheng has always been hostile to Beiyan, that vast grassland, there is not even a decent city.
Now there are only two possibilities, one is that Shi Yan wants to improve his level and takes the initiative to study it himself. The other, the worst one, someone in Beiyan entrusted Shi Yan to develop this siege weapon, waiting to come to trouble the Great Heng Kingdom.
Judging from the drawings, there has been no progress, but with the ability of the craftsmen of Western Xia, over time, there will be results, and at that time......
Feng Ge felt that it was shameful for her to peek at the host's things as a guest, and it was too ugly for people to let herself into the house so politely, but she was secretly looking at other people's things.
Well, I can't look at it anymore, anyway, these drawings are all drafts, and it's useless to see them, and it's a vain name to be known to be peeking.
Thinking of this, Feng Ge sang up and sped up to clean up, and after putting a handful of paper back neatly, she suddenly felt that something behind her was snorting and panting, she turned around in fright, and found that it was the snow wolf with a booklet in his mouth, rolling on the ground, Feng Ge knew that this kind of big dog had an incomparable love for tearing paper, and in order to protect Shi Yan's research results, she decided to snatch the book.
After snatching the book, I accidentally glanced at it, and the booklet was full of hand-drawn graphics, shaped like ordinary knives, but how could there be ordinary knives in the first blacksmith house in Western Xia.
Turning the pages of the book, Feng Ge was full of gratitude to the master, no, the master dog, and read all the patterns drawn on the booklet, and kept it firmly in his heart.
Feng Ge's first enlightenment teacher, no other hobbies, just like to let students endorse, if you are not happy, you have to double the punishment back, Feng Ge is fortunate to be regarded as a typical character, every move is strictly controlled, the number of punishments is unknown, practice into a good kung fu.
There are not only graphics on each page, but also some data and detailed explanations, Feng Ge read carefully, not a single number, not a single exploded diagram, she knows that only the more detailed the information, the more likely it is to be invincible in the future.
There are a total of fifteen weapons in the whole manual, each weapon has more than ten detailed drawings, and each part has a detailed size, Feng Ge has exhausted all the memory methods she can, just to remember them, at least, now in my heart, I can write them down immediately when I return to the inn.
Outside, there was the sound of Gao Zhenbei and Shi Yan talking and laughing, and the sound of Yahuan greeting them, the snow wolf, which was originally lying on the ground, pricked up its ears, and it heard the voice of its master, and suddenly became elated.
Feng Ge couldn't be happy, and he didn't read the last two pages of detailed drawings!
The door curtain was raised, the scorching sunlight made the hall suddenly brighten, the door was pushed open, and the snow wolf pounced on it with a "whoosh", blocking Shi Yan's sight, the snow wolf's tongue snorted and licked Shi Yan, and Gao Zhenbei laughed at him on the side.
When they walked in the door, Feng Ge was sitting upright in the house, slowly sipping tea, and when he saw them coming in, he stood up lightly, greeted him, and looked at Shi Yan expectantly.
When Shi Yan saw her, he smiled and said to her, "Your moon knife ......"
"Huh?"
"It's a good knife. ”
"Hmm. ”
"The materials used are exceptional......
"So ......?"
Feng Ge thought to himself, isn't it that Shi Yan had feelings for the Falling Moon Knife in the process of repairing it, and was reluctant to return it to her? That would be very troublesome, if it was Feng Ge's own, it would be nothing, just give it to him, wouldn't it be just a knife, just make a friend.
But the knife belonged to Jin Huang, Jin Huang carried it with him, and he kept it close to him, and when he heard that she was going to Western Xia, he was worried that she would have nothing to defend herself against, so he took it out and lent it to her.
A person like Jin Huang, who has always seen money, lent her the knife, but did not ask for the rental fee of the Moon Falling Knife, but just said that she must come back safely.
How could this not move Feng Ge, the Falling Moon Knife couldn't be given to Shi Yan no matter what.
Feng Ge looked at Shi Yan with some concern, only to see Shi Yan say: "The melting point of this material is very high, and ordinary fuels can't melt it, and it can't be repaired. ”
"Ah......" Feng Ge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he hung a heart, if even the first craftsman in Western Xia, who was proficient in blacksmith skills, couldn't repair it, then no one in Daheng would be able to cultivate.
After going back, Jin Huang may explode on the spot.
Or ask her for a large sum of money.
Either way, she couldn't afford it.
Looking at Feng Ge's sad appearance, Shi Yan said: "Don't worry too much, what I just said is ordinary fuel, and if Great Xia can gain a foothold in the mainland with weapons sales, naturally there will be no ordinary fuel." There is a kind of fire oil that can raise the temperature of the flame a lot, and I heard that this fire oil was used to build the Moon Falling Knife back then. ”
"Then, where can I buy Agni Oil?" Feng Ge thought in his heart how much money he still had to use.
Shi Yan shook his head and said: "What you can't buy, the fire oil sent to the royal capital is all tribute, and it is sent directly to the inner mansion, and ordinary people can't see it." ”
"Inner Mansion?" the name should be reserved for royal utensils.
"Yes, every year, the Inner Mansion has to build sacrificial utensils for the royal family, and they all rely on fire oil to heat up. ”
"How much?"
Shi Yan looked at Feng Ge's appearance and thought to himself, didn't this little girl want to steal?
"It's a lot, at least 100 liters. ”
A hundred liters of fire oil, on the back of the body are a huge barrel, not only has a special person to watch the treasury, but also every day someone will check and record the use, if you steal in batches, then after the first day of success, the second day will be strengthened vigilance, if you want to start again it is extremely difficult.
Shi Yan didn't think that the girl in front of him from the Great Heng Kingdom could steal so many things in the Inner Mansion of Great Xia.
Feng Ge smiled and nodded: "One hundred liters, no problem." By the way, how much does it cost to fix this knife?"
Could it really be that she could?
Shi Yan couldn't help but look at Feng Ge, she was dressed in simple styles, and there was no particularly obvious Dahengguo style, but the materials and tailoring could be seen to be quite meticulous and exquisite, when chatting with Gao Zhenbei, although Gao Zhenbei didn't know her exact origin, he also mentioned that he vaguely felt that she might be someone from the Lu Wang family, the younger brother of the current emperor of Dahengguo.
Maybe repairing the knives was just an excuse, she came to Great Xia for other ulterior purposes.
So, she can really get her hands on the oil of fire.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan's heart moved, he remembered the Tianxing Iron that had been in the warehouse for a long time, but because all the fuel he could find couldn't melt it, so he smiled and said: "One hundred liters is also a trip, and two hundred liters is also a trip, if the girl can really get the fire oil legally, can you give me a hundred liters?"
"What are you going to do so much?" Feng Ge thought in his heart that he didn't want to be an arsonist.
Shi Yan told the truth, many years ago, a red meteor fell from the sky, smashed in the territory of Xixia, razed that area to the ground, and no one dared to step into it again, it happened that Shi Yan passed by, walked into the center of that area, and found that the red meteor turned into molten iron melted down to the ground, and solidified.
As a blacksmith, of course, he unceremoniously brought home the heavenly god iron.
"It's a pity that over the years, I have exhausted all methods, but I have not been able to melt the Celestial Star Iron, such a good material, but it has become a useless waste to be discarded, and the fire oil is the only opportunity that I have not tried. ”
Feng Ge understood, and at the same time, she also made a request, if the fire oil could melt the Heavenly Star Iron, then Shi Yan would make a secret weapon suitable for the girl's family for her.
"Yes. Shi Yan agreed.
Leaving Shi Yan's house, Guan Linsen was unsurprised to watch Feng Ge turn directly and stride towards the gate of Prince Ning's mansion.
Guan Linsen, who was following behind Feng Ge, silently looked at the back of the eldest princess in front of him, and her fluttering posture, and couldn't help but think of what his mother told him before preparing to participate in the secret guard selection:
"The girls of the heavenly family are pampered, playing the hands of women who grow up in the deep palace, and the eldest princess is the queen's own child, and she never needs to use her scheming to compete for favor and love, but I am afraid that she is an innocent and self-conscious girl, and you always like to laugh at others and complain about others, this is to select the secret guard, if it doesn't work, if it is, you must control yourself by her side, abide by the professional ethics ......of the secret guard, don't come out if you have nothing to do, don't talk when you come out, and go back when you're done."
I remember that my mother also said a lot, a lot, but judging from the current situation, I have changed from a secret guard to a guard, and His Royal Highness has also talked to him a lot, think about it carefully, my nature is still successfully held back and not revealed, otherwise I may have been killed by His Highness.
I'm so tired, I don't know when I'll be able to talk nonsense like Jin Huang.
Thinking that it is impossible in this life, Guan Linsen sighed secretly in his heart, the family has been martial arts for generations, but because his great-grandfather said a word for the Hanshan Iron Horse, he was stripped of his title by Emperor Dezong and demoted to a commoner, and his direct family is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.
If it weren't for the growth of the Guan family's children and nephews, each with their own way to make a living, otherwise they would have starved to death.
It's just strange that although his great-grandfather was treated like this by the royal family, he didn't have any resentment towards Emperor Dezong, but always comforted the resentful people in the family: thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, don't resent Your Majesty, don't resent Daheng.
At that time, everyone in the family thought that the great-grandfather was an old pedantic, who only knew how to serve the country loyally, and was tossed like this by the emperor, and he was still speaking for the royal family, he must have been stupid to read.
I thought that my great-grandfather was just talking, but the older generation relocated to the land, and they had to eat in the land of Daheng until they were forced to do so.
Unexpectedly, he actually thought the same thing in his heart, there was a side uncle who was a successful businessman, who traveled to and from various countries all the year round, and knew the roads and climate well.
Uncle went, but found that the person turned out to be the king of Zuoning of Beiyan, he knew that the Guan family was treated poorly by the Daheng royal family, and he also knew that the uncle of the Guan family had important information on the passage of traffic, so he intended to sell him.
The whole Guan family is also an elite, three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion, in the Guan family, it is not just a big overview, but a real objective evaluation.
Therefore, the price offered by King Zuo Ning was also very attractive, saying that if the uncle wanted to take as many people as he wanted to go to Beiyan, Beiyan could also help the Guan family to settle down in Beiyan.
As long as you arrive in Beiyan, it is a high-ranking official who has to do it, and the horse has to be ridden, to ensure that all the clansmen of the Guan family are treated as guests, and they will definitely not completely wipe out many years of heroes for the sake of a sentence like Emperor Dezong.
In Daheng, the status of the merchant is the lowest status, the merchant who sells silk is not allowed to wear silk, and the merchant who sells shoes must also wear shoes of different colors on both feet, although he is rich, but he is not respected by the society, not to mention, his family is a broken down from the family.
For so many years, I don't know how many cold eyes and ridicule I have suffered, and there are even people who deliberately embarrass them, worship high and step on low, after so many years of anger, even if it is a clay man, he has a three-point temper, not to mention the Guan family who has been promoted to martial arts for generations.
But when the uncle put forward the invitation of King Zuo Ning, he was slapped by his great-grandfather and sat on the ground, and the great-grandfather pointed at the uncle's nose and scolded: "This little favor and small favor, you want to be a traitor?!"
Uncle covered his face and said disapprovingly: "Although Beiyan gave a small favor and a small favor, but what did Hengguo give us, just because of the emperor's words, the credit of our Guan family for several generations for Hengguo's life has been wiped out?
"You! Do you want the Guan family to be exterminated by the Nine Clans and beheaded all over the house when you say such rebellious words!"
Uncle was not afraid: "If you go to Beiyan, you are still afraid of what will be beheaded! If the person sitting on the throne is a little timid, he would have already hit Beiyan, why not shrink in the Great Wall, the people of Beiyan come to disturb the realm, they only dare to block, dare not chase, and they are passively beaten every year." ”
"No, it's not because they don't have the guts! But there are no generals who can be used! Hehe, the generals who can be used have long been wiped out, their weapons have been confiscated, their military power has been confiscated, and they are shackled, who will still work for them, who will fight for them, and they have not given up the border, which is already the greatest loyalty of military generals!"
The uncle spoke cheerfully, but he did not notice his great-grandfather's bruised forehead and bloodshot eyes.
Guan Linsen was only two years old at the time, and he liked to lie on his great-grandfather's bookshelf, and when the two had a fierce quarrel, he squatted on top of the bookshelf, and he looked at all this condescendingly.
He saw his great-grandfather pull out the sword on the side shelf and slash at the uncle, but the uncle cleverly got out of the way, and the great-grandfather's sword missed, and a man in a black cloak suddenly appeared, his scimitar was unsheathed, and the light of the sword like snow made an arc in the air, and then, everywhere was sprayed with red liquid, fishy, salty......
The man put away the knife, looked up, and saw Guan Linsen squatting on the bookshelf, he walked towards the bookshelf, but was stopped by his uncle: "He is my brother's only son, only two years old. ”
"But he saw me!"
"It doesn't matter, he has a little problem with his brain, and he can't speak until now, let's go, the Guan family who are willing to leave with me have already packed up and are waiting outside the corner gate. ”
The man eventually took the knife, and the uncle left with him, glancing back at his great-grandfather, who had fallen to the ground.
The patriarch of the Guan family died like this, not on the battlefield, but at the hands of his own juniors.
Although the title was cut, after all, he was also a veteran for many years, and the royal family sent people down to inquire, and the Guan family was worried that the royal family would be guilty of treason, and once again put the Guan family to death, fabricating a story of a thief breaking in, and the theft did not become a murder and escape.
The emperor believed it and gave the Guan family many things.
My great-grandfather's funeral was beautiful, but he didn't close his eyes until he died.
