Chapter 219: The Blacksmith's Furnace in the Cave
The carriage walked in the cave for about ten minutes, and there was a faint clanging sound from ahead.
During the ten minutes of travel, Li Ziyu felt that someone was secretly staring at them from beginning to end, and I believe that Bu Jiu also felt it.
By this time, Li Ziyu had already understood that the cave where Wang Tiehammer was located was definitely not under Wang Tiehammer's control. He didn't have the ability to drive so many black-clothed people with strong martial arts outside the cave, let alone the cave in front of him.
Then there is only one explanation, here, is the territory of the Lei family.
Only the Lei family and Wang Tiehammer have such a deep relationship, and only the Lei family can have such a secret underground forging factory within the Sun family's sphere of influence.
Although the Lei family's ancestral secret recipe for striking iron was dedicated to the imperial court, how could the descendants of the Lei family allow the imperial court to snatch away the secret recipe without leaving a successor. Especially the future Lei Shi, the head of the Lei family, has already been familiar with the secret recipe by heart.
Although they have promised the court that they will no longer strike iron, how can the Lei family be willing to really abandon the ancestral secret recipe and obey the orders of the imperial court?
It was impossible to make weapons on a large scale, but a small-scale blacksmith workshop could avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial court.
Because Shiyan Town has the Sun family's underground arsenal, the Sun family only cares about guarding against their own territory, and they may never have dreamed that there are still people who dare to open an arsenal on their own territory.
The Lei family's move can be said to be a victory in danger, and the lights are dark. If anyone really notices this workshop, the Lei family can also lead the water to the east and index the line to the Sun family.
This can also show that the actions of the Sun family and the Lei family have already been investigated clearly in secret. That's why they dare to be under their noses. Open this arsenal.
Li Ziyu thought about it and thought about it thoroughly, and sorted out some ideas. My heart is also at peace.
At the very least, the current Lei family is a friend and foe and can be trusted.
And she has no other choice now, Wang Tiehammer has already handed over her grenade forging to the Lei family, and she currently has no other way but to cooperate with the Lei family.
At this time, the carriage stopped in front. Because there is no road ahead.
Li Ziyu and Aunt Guihua both got off the carriage one after another, and Bu Jiu parked the carriage to the side.
Li Ziyu took advantage of the dim light to look around.
At the moment the surroundings are quiet. There was no one, and there was no door to see. But Li Ziyu believes that there must be imports here, but the two sides are more patient than each other.
Li Ziyu stood there calmly, expressionless on her face. She stared silently at the corner of the cave. The calm and restrained bearing is fully displayed.
About ten minutes passed. The cave in front of it silently opened a door, and a man in his twenties stepped out of it.
The man has light steps and restrained eyes, and at first glance he is a person with superior martial arts.
He walked up to Li Ziyu, saluted Li Ziyu, and said respectfully, "Miss Li, please come inside." ”
Li Ziyu didn't speak, and walked towards the entrance of the cave with a step.
Bu Jiu followed closely behind Li Ziyu and was just about to walk inside. But he was blocked by the man.
"Strong, please stay! Please wait here for the strong man and his sister-in-law. ”
Step 9 sternly refused: "No! I have to go in with Miss Lee! ”
"Is the strong man worried about Miss Li's safety? Rest assured, Miss Li is not in any danger. ”
"That's not going to work either! I have to"
"Step Nine!" Li Ziyu turned her head and gestured. "Don't worry, since we're all here, we're still safe, there's nothing to worry about, you stay."
Of course, Bu Jiu also knew that Li Ziyu was not in danger. However, he had all come here, and he wanted to go in to see what was going on inside, so that he could report to his master.
However, since Li Ziyu had already asked him to stay, he didn't want to insist on going in, so he had to stay unwillingly.
Aunt Osmanthus seemed to know that not just anyone could enter inside, so she stayed outside and didn't say anything.
Li Ziyu followed the man into the inside, but a corridor appeared in the dark. However, the clanging sound inside became clearer and clearer, as if it was not far ahead.
There are also sporadic wall lamps on the walls of the corridor, but they are far apart, and it seems that the corridor is dim and inexplicable.
After turning a corner, a door appeared in front of him, and four men in strong suits with long swords were guarding the door.
The man led Li Ziyu to the door and made a gesture to the big men guarding the door, one of the big men opened the door, and when they entered, he closed the door again.
After Li Ziyu followed the man into the door, she opened her eyes and couldn't help but be taken aback.
What appeared in front of her was a spacious space of two or three thousand square meters, and the lights in the space were brilliant and bright as day.
The tinkling sound was incessant, and the air was filled with flying dust, pungent water vapor, and scorching temperatures. After only a while, Li Ziyu's body was already hot and unbearable.
The temperature here is so high that it can be at least 30 degrees. And the air is so thin, how can these people stand it after a long time?
However, the Lei family should have also made air circulation settings, but it is not enough, and air circulation should be increased on this basis. In this way, the people who work inside can breathe freely.
Also, blacksmiths should wear a mask per person so that their lungs don't get contaminated.
Li Ziyu took a few steps forward and found that there were dozens of blacksmith furnaces and operating tables in the wide space.
Hundreds of blacksmiths, topless, were busy in their respective positions.
Large iron furnaces are lined up in several columns in an orderly manner, and various weapons are being forged separately.
Next to every red-hot stove is a bellows. As soon as the bellows is pulled, the wind enters the furnace, and the flames in the furnace rise.
The iron to be forged was first burned red in the furnace and then moved to the large iron pier. The master holds the main hammer and the lower hand holds the sledgehammer for forging.
Experienced in getting started, holding a small hammer in his right hand and iron pliers in his left hand. In the forging process, the iron should be constantly turned by visual inspection, so that it can be beaten into the required iron.
Among the dozens of large iron furnaces at the scene, Li Ziyu found the figure of Wang Tiehammer.
The iron furnace where the king was located was on the right side, and there were four or five people around him.
At this point, they were stopping, as if they were inspecting what they had made.
The man who was accompanying Li Ziyu hadn't spoken since he came in, because now it was filled with all kinds of hitting sounds, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about.
The man saw that Li Ziyu wanted to go to Wang Tiehammer, so he made a gesture of invitation and took the lead.
Li Ziyu was not polite, followed closely behind the man, and walked towards the iron furnace where Wang Tiehammer was.
The choking breath in the air almost suffocated Li Ziyu, she covered her nose and resisted the urge to cough and walked in front of Wang Tiezhu.
