Chapter 208: The Remnants of the Leisurely Winter
Streaming down~
Shaking off the snowflakes on the cloak quickly, Gongsun Du did not enter the house immediately, but frowned, and then said to Huang Qing, who was following closely: "Let someone go and call Wei Juncheng." β
"Yes, my lord!" Huang Qing answered, and after ordering a personal soldier to do it, he followed Gongsun Du into the study.
After entering the house, Gongsun Du took off his cloak and stood beside the fire in the house, which was already bright and flickering. Originally, taking the cloak was something that Yangyi had to do, but now Yangyi is no longer there, and Huang Qing is a woman, so Gongsun Du refused the matter.
"Come over here and warm up first!" Gongsun Du didn't forget to greet Huang Qing.
"Yes, my lord!" Huang Qing took off the cloak, and then surrounded it as well, and added a few pieces of wood to it, so that the fire burned even more.
Gongsun Du glanced at Huang Qing's frozen red face, felt a pain in his heart for some reason, and couldn't help asking, "How do you feel?" Is it very different from Jingzhou? β
Huang Qing's outstretched hand paused slightly, and then replied: "Actually, there is not much difference from Nanyang, the only difference is that it is not so cold." β
"Yes!" Gongsun Du nodded, and then fell silent.
Huang Qing didn't want to ask again, but just glanced at the layout in the study from time to time. Although it has been more than half a month since I came back, and I haven't come to the study once or twice, I still can't help but want to take a look.
It seems that I want to understand a person by understanding the environment in which a person usually lives!
"Actually, you don't have to follow all the time!"
Gongsun Du's sudden words startled Huang Qing, but he recovered in an instant and replied: "No, the county lieutenant said that except when sleeping, you must not leave the lord by half a step." β
Somehow, when she said the word "sleep", Huang Qing felt a little hot on her face. But fortunately, her face was already red, and Gongsun Du didn't see it.
"Leave him alone! So-and-so has the final say! β
After speaking, Gongsun Du waved his hand, stopped Huang Qing from speaking, and sat straight behind the desk and began to deal with official business.
Huang Qing could only pout when she saw this, then quickly rubbed her hands and stood in the corner behind Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du glanced at it and didn't say anything, because the temperature inside the house had risen a lot, and it was much worse than outside the house.
It wasn't long before there was a knock on the door.
"Lord, Wei Juncheng has arrived!"
"Well, come in!" Gongsun shook his hand and said.
Crunch~
Wei You quickly entered the door, and then quickly closed the door, but Gongsun Du still felt a cool breeze coming.
"Lord!"
Wei You shouted, and then stood by the fire to keep warm.
Gongsun Du nodded when he saw this, not only Wei You, but also other people, Gongsun Du asked them to warm up first after entering the door in winter, and then talk about business. At first, everyone naturally disagreed, saying that they didn't seem to take the lord in their eyes, but they were all strongly suppressed by Gongsun Du.
In this way, there is such a seemingly strange scene.
After a while, Wei You felt much warmer, so he came close and asked, "Lord, but what do you have to order?" β
"How is the progress of the construction of the five city kangs such as Pingguo and Beifeng?" Gongsun Du asked directly.
Wei You shook his head and said: "There is still a lot of difference, mainly because the time is too short, and there has been frequent snowfall recently, and the construction is very difficult, and many craftsmen have been frostbitten because of this." β
Gongsun Du originally wanted to speed up, but when he heard that someone was injured, he said: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, let everyone do as much as they can, don't worry." β
Wei You thought that Gongsun Du was talking about this matter to speed up, but now he ...... couldn't help but glance at Gongsun Du strangely, and then responded: "Yes, lord." β
"Well, you ......"
Before Gongsun Du finished speaking, suddenly the soldiers outside the door shouted: "Lord, the craftsman workshop has sent someone to send news that the lord's blade has been built." β
Gongsun Du's face was overjoyed, he got up and took off the cloak, and said to Wei You: "Let's go and have a look?" β
"Okay, let's take a look." Wei You was also curious about what kind of blade his lord had created, so he responded without hesitation.
However, there is another person who is more curious than Wei You, and that is Huang Qing.
She knew a little more about Gongsun Du's building of the blade than Wei You, to be precise, after coming back, she had gone to a craftsman's workshop with Gongsun Du, and happened to start building.
The group left the study, and in addition to the Taishou Mansion, they quickly rushed to the south of the city.
After the craftsman workshop completed the basic armor and equipment construction this year, it moved back to the city, but the smelter on the mountain is still there, but it is only responsible for smelting the ore, and the later processing and building is completed in the city. In the end, there is no security outside the city, and it is necessary to divide troops to guard it.
When Gongsun Du and his party arrived at the craftsman's workshop, the snow magically stopped.
"Huh? Seems to be a good sign! β
Gongsun Du looked up at the empty sky, raised his feet and stepped into the door of the craftsman's workshop.
"I thought it was going to be like this here...... It's going to be sharper......"
"No, I think it should be like this......"
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as he walked to the door of a room with the word "soldier" hanging on it, Gongsun Du heard the noise in the house, and although he was puzzled, he still pushed the door directly and walked in without hesitation.
The craftsmen discussed fiercely and did not notice Gongsun Du, but he was not angry, but asked with a smile, "What are you discussing?" Speaking of which, it also makes a certain increase in knowledge! β
"Lord!"
"The lord has arrived?"
A group of craftsmen returned to their senses, and one of them stood out and said: "Lord, let's take a look at the lord's blade first?" β
Gongsun Du nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" β
"My lord, please!"
Gongsun Du followed him to the left side of the house, and a long knife with a strange shape was quietly placed on the knife holder.
"Have you tried it?" Gongsun Du nodded, did not step forward immediately, but asked.
"I simply tested the hardness and toughness, and it was very good, almost just right, and I have almost never seen the hardness and toughness combined to such a perfect blade. As for the rest, it still needs to be tested by the lord himself. β
"Good! Fetch something. Only then did Gongsun Du step forward and take this winged Dapeng knife and observe it carefully.
"Chiefβ"
After a little comparison, Gongsun Du came to a conclusion: "Eight feet!" (2 meters)"
"Heavyβ"
He checked it with his hand again: "Six, six, thirty-six pounds!" β
It is far from sixty-nine fifty-four pounds!
Gongsun Du couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: Do you have to get Xuantie, and you can't do it outside the sky?
Gongsun Du clearly remembered that in the introduction of the winged Dapeng knife, it was said that it was made of fine iron. But now this knife is a new smelting technology provided by him, and after mentioning the quality of iron, it is made of refined iron, but the weight is much worse, so he can't think too much about it.
Or is the so-called refined iron actually referring to the dark iron refined iron? Extraterrestrial Iron? β
Gongsun Du was puzzled, and looked at the shape of the knife again, which was the same as the drawings given, similar to the wings of Kunpeng, and nodded again.
The feeling he felt on the side made the craftsman watching him feel uneasy, especially when he frowned.
Gongsun Du didn't notice this, and when he came back to his senses, he took the iron ingots and armor that happened to be used for testing.
"Lord, try?"
"Well, okay, try!"
Gongsun Du was also not polite, and swung his knife to slash at the iron ingot first. If the iron ingot can't be broken, or if it is defective, Gongsun Du will choose to build another one, even if it is only for temporary use.
Burst~
Fortunately, it was easy to cut the iron ingot in half with a single knife, and it looked like it was unmatched.
Gongsun Du did not make up his mind, took the knife back, and carefully examined the blade.
For a long time, no gaps were found, only a few undetectable scratches, which barely met the requirements.
Subsequently, Gongsun Du tested with armor and other objects one after another, without exception, all of them met the requirements, and there were no other problems with the blade except for abrasions.
"Good, good!" Gongsun Du praised it, and left with a knife, "Everyone has a reward, and I will go back to try my hand, so I won't bother you." β
"Thank you, lord!"
"Congratulations to my lord!"
Gongsun Du hurried back to the Taishou Mansion again, and before he could practice the Liuhe Knife, the system suddenly jumped out at this time-
"Found a defective product winged Dapeng knife, is it equipped?"
"Defective?" Gongsun Du couldn't help but be stunned.
