168. 167 A Newly Forged Short Sword

"Rui girl! Come and see. Su Rui, who had just finished writing the letter, was called out by a voice outside the door.

When Su Rui came out of the camp, he saw an old blacksmith standing at his door, his weather-covered face full of endless joy, he wore thick cotton gloves in his hands, and held a piece of black-gray metal that had just cooled down, "It is finished!" It's done! He couldn't suppress his joy and couldn't stop saying.

"It's finished?" Su Rui looked at the black-gray metal ingot he was holding in his hand with surprise and joy, and his heart soared. "Are you sure?"

"This time it really happened." The old blacksmith carefully placed the ingot into Suri's hand.

Holding the heavy metal ingot, Su Rui couldn't help but jump up, "Sure enough, the temperature before was not enough." She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. A few months ago, at that time, Su Yuanfeng had not yet built the lead road, but when she had just found the coal mine, she asked Nalan Jingxue to help her transport a batch of coal mines here first, and several times the steelmaking failed, Su Rui determined that there was no problem with his method and the refractory small blast furnace, so the problem was in the fuel, obviously the heat that firewood can provide is not enough, only coal can do it.

The first batch of coal to be shipped lived up to Suri's expectations.

"Let's go. Let's go and build a batch of short swords first. Su Rui happily patted the old blacksmith on the shoulder and said proudly.

"Do you still use the girl? The brothers are already fighting. The old blacksmith touched his beard and smiled happily, he admired the beautiful woman in front of him, he had dealt with iron all his life, and he did not expect to be able to practice the legendary ingots by himself in his twilight years.

This steel ingot is really very different from cast iron, not only can it be stretched, but after thousands of tempers, the strength and toughness are simply unprecedented.

"Let's go, let's see." Suri handed the steel ingot to the old blacksmith, and couldn't contain his excitement, and walked quickly to the blacksmith camp.

Nalan Jingxue also followed quickly, was she really trained by Su Rui to practice her so-called steel? He originally thought that Su Rui would fail, things in this world are really unpredictable, if it weren't for Su Rui finding out that the coal mine recorded in Sikong Jin's study sent Su Yuanfeng to look for it, if it wasn't for the fact that she owed herself a lot of wealth to help Sikong Jin borrow grain from herself, she wouldn't have mined the coal mine. If you don't mine coal, you won't be able to train steel today.

In the bottom of his heart, the uneasiness and faintly emerged, the wisdom of the person who created the Burning Heaven Palace was endless, and Su Rui was obviously from the same place as him, it is said that the first palace master did not die here but suddenly ascended and disappeared, for a long time there were even people who said that he was an immortal, and suddenly disappeared only because he flew back to the immortal class. What if Suri is really like him and suddenly disappears?

If she was really smelted by Su Rui to create the kind of material that could create the Shining, then she would directly push the smelting and forging technology of this world to a new level, just like the first palace master of the Burning Heaven Palace, pushing the medicine and other things of his era to an unprecedented level.

She can really change the tide of this battle between Daikin and Rouran.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a few quick steps and grabbed Su Rui's hand.

"What's wrong?" Feeling a strain in his hands, Su Rui looked back at Nalan Jingxue, who had stopped moving. I was pulled to a halt by him.

He had already put on the mask, and through the cold metal mask, Suri could feel that his face hidden under the mask seemed to have an anxiety that she had never seen before.

"It's fine." Nalan Jingxue sighed slightly in her heart, "If you win this battle, where are you going to go?" He asked indifferently.

"Let's win first." Suri was still immersed in the joy of smelting steel, and replied nonchalantly.

"You speak first!" Nalan Jingxue stubbornly grabbed Su Rui and didn't let her move forward. "Come back to the Burning Heaven Palace with me!" He was like an awkward child, pulling Suri and refusing to let go.

"I haven't won yet!" Su Rui said with a smile, "Let's wait until we win, okay?" ”

"You promise me first. If you really win. You go back with me! Nalan Jingxue snorted coldly, he had tolerated her here for so long! It's time to take her back!

"Good, good. If you really win, I'll go back with you. Suri knew that he was starting to make trouble again, so he could only reassure him first.

"You are not allowed to break your word!" Nalan Jingxue's mood calmed down a little.

"You're so capable. If I break my promise, won't you arrest me? Suri gave him a blank look.

"What's the use of arresting you back? You're going to run, you're going to get angry, you're going to ignore me. Nalan Jingxue muttered, with endless helplessness in her tone.

His aggrieved tone shocked Su Rui's heart, and she looked at Nalan Jingxue slightly, he was afraid that he would be unhappy? A soft piece of his heart was touched by him, and Su Rui also sighed slightly, "I promise you." If the fighting dies down here, I'll accomplish a few more things. I will go with you to the Burning Heaven Palace. ”

"What's the matter?" Nalan Jingxue's heart was still unhappy. She always thinks about the outside world, and when this thing is over, there will be the next thing. He couldn't be ruthless and forcibly took her away.

"Don't ask." Suri smiled reluctantly.

She wanted revenge, but as time passed, her anger at Sikong Jin didn't seem as strong as it used to be.

In fact, Su Rui is also very entangled, if she just lets Sikong Jin go alone, she is unwilling in her heart, but she really takes revenge, so what? The country of Hu has changed greatly, and the people have been displaced? How long is the time for revenge? Ten years or twenty years?

In the end, it's her unwillingness.

"Good. I promise you again. You do your best to take care of everything. Come back to the Burning Heaven Palace with me. Nalan Jingxue knew that she couldn't force her, and if she returned to her original appearance, she wouldn't be able to stand it first.

Nalan Jingxue felt that she was becoming more and more powerless in front of her.

"Thank you." Su Rui raised his eyes and said slowly.

Well, seeing her eyes now, Nalan Jingxue's heart has already softened. Let her go. In short, I won't let go.

"Go and see if your dagger is made." Nalan Jingxue smiled reluctantly, took Su Rui's hand and took the initiative to move forward.

When Su Rui and Nalan Jingxue arrived at the blacksmith camp, it was already surrounded by three layers of people.

From time to time, exclamations and cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Let's give it a go. Miss Rui is here. I don't know who shouted, the crowd automatically parted to both sides, and Su Rui and Nalan Jingxue stepped in under everyone's attention.

Nalan Jingxue looked around, and those eyes that resided on him and Su Rui were envy, respect, and worship.

Nalan Jingxue's heart moved slightly.

In the past, no matter where he went, someone would automatically give way to him, but those eyes that were focused on him were disgust and fear. Whoever knows who he is, will be afraid of him. As long as anyone who has seen his true face will become disdainful and obscene.

He had never felt such a pure gaze, and the men in the barracks had dedicated their most noble gaze to her because of Suri's efforts and wisdom, and they followed her, and even the gaze that was placed on him became respectful.

It was a whole new feeling, something he had never felt before.

"Xiao Rui!" Jun Rushuang, who was standing in the crowd, looked at Su Rui, his smile was a little brighter than the morning sun, his handsome and extraordinary face was comparable to the best work of God, shining with moving light, his smile was hearty and kind, and the joy flying in his starry eyes would infect the hearts of everyone present.

Nalan Jingxue frowned slightly, and suddenly for a moment, he seemed to be a little jealous. Why is his smile so warm and bright, why is Suri so intimate and gentle when he looks at him. Why didn't she smile so kindly at herself?

Although Su Rui, who was following him, would also smile at himself, and his smile was also very good, he always felt that when Su Rui was smiling at him, his eyes were not as clear as Jun Rushuang.

"It's really refined." Jun Rushuang couldn't wait to show Su Rui the newly created short sword made from Su Rui's design and the steel that Su Rui had smelted.

The short sword had already opened, and the lean blade shimmered in the sunlight.

"Look." Jun Rushuang motioned to the guards on the side to take the original long sword and cut it over, and after a crisp sound from the metal impact, the original long sword used by Dajin broke in response to the sound, and was split into two pieces by the sharp short sword, and the edge of the short sword was not damaged at all.

The onlookers once again gave enthusiastic cheers.

"Look at this again." Jun Rushuang said to Su Rui with a smile, he asked the guards in exchange for the heavy sword used to capture the Rouran cavalry, he swung his sword hard and cut it down, and the heavy sword was also cut off by Jun Rushuang.

The crowd erupted in cheers and whistles once again, resounding throughout the barracks.

"With such a sharp weapon, why can't you drive away those soft tartars!" Jun Rushuang raised the short sword in his hand high and shouted loudly. "Long live Daikin!"

The short sword was held high in his hand, his long inky hair and scarlet cloak fluttered behind him in the morning breeze, his face was proud and sacred, like a god of war standing in the sun, resolute, handsome, full of strength and fighting spirit!

"Long live Daikin, long live, long live!" The enthusiasm of the soldiers was instigated by Jun Rushuang, and everyone shouted the slogan of long live Dajin in unison, and the crowd was excited, eager to immediately go into battle with a short sword to kill the enemy!

Su Rui and Nalan Jingxue were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and Su Rui was even more excited and tearful, for many months, she couldn't sleep at night, thinking day and night, and finally made what she wanted!

She couldn't help but secretly hold Nalan Jingxue's hand.

Nalan Jingxue was shocked, lowered her eyes and looked at Su Rui, who was immersed in endless joy beside her, and a warm current suddenly flowed through her heart. She held her hand unconsciously, but it gave him a great shock.

For the first time, she took the initiative to hold herself tightly.

Nalan Jingxue's gaze stayed on their tightly clasped hands, and she couldn't take them off for a long time, she really hoped that time would stop at this moment!
