In the blink of an eye, it's sunset again.

In the mountain behind Aoki Village, in a hidden mountain col, Ning Yi walked out with a few entourages. The air was still dry, fire-filling.

"Write it down." Ning Yi, who had just checked the situation of the blast furnace and craftsmen in Luliang Mountain in detail, but did not give any opinions, spoke in a low voice at this time.

“…… Blast furnace research is not only aimed at producing better swords and weapons. Instead, we will further find the principle and idea of increasing the temperature, further remove the carbon content in the iron, and produce a softer and tougher iron. Each type of steel has a place where it can be used, and it is necessary to master these characteristics. There are two main directions here: first, higher temperatures; Second, when the molten iron is introduced into the mold, the pursuit of less impurities and fewer bubbles. The standard is...... At least half the thickness of the body of the elm gun, at least twice the amount of gunpowder of the elm gun, and the chamber will not explode after firing...... First of all, we will accumulate experience with this as the goal. ”

The attendants around him wrote these down in a small notebook with a fine charcoal pen. Ning Yi thought for a while: "Call Master Qin over at night, I want to talk to him." ”

The blacksmith of Qingmu Village is still from Luliang after all, and Ning Yi has just come over, even if he points fingers, people can't understand it. Only a few craftsmen who came over this time, because they had been working in the research and development compound of Zhuji for more than a year, were able to keep up with Ning Yi's train of thought. After this explanation, the group turned out of the col, and in front of them were sparse woods and earthy yellow mountain paths. The scenery of Luliang Mountain is difficult to give people a sense of brightness, not to mention the green mountains and green waters, and at first glance it only makes people feel barren. Trees, stones, wolves, animals, and people are all sparse. Mountains and elusive streams spread silently in them.

The figure of the red grape is coming up from the side down the hillside. She was dressed simply, wearing a soapy blue blouse and long skirt, just looking at this outfit, she was an ordinary peasant girl. It's just that among the same peasant women, her figure is relatively tall, and the spirit of a martial artist is far beyond that of ordinary people, and at a glance, people will feel that there is a pleasing vitality in the steps of this figure, coupled with the ancient sword in her left hand, she is a simple but heart-warming woman.

The sunset shone over from Ning Yi's side. The woman in the rubble and grass on the mountainside paused. The sword-wielding left hand was raised on his forehead, and he squinted his eyes and looked this way, as if he were smiling. Ning Yi also smiled, and turned his head to the person next to him: "Let's go." Then he walked towards Hongti's side.

"Finished reading the stoves?" Walked in front of Ning Yi. Red asked.

"Hmm. I'm done. ”

"I don't understand any of that. Got some iron-strikers and let them fiddle with this. Every once in a while, I scare them. Make the appearance that you're going to kill them. Now the knives and guns are quite good, and they are very useful, and I don't know if they are to your liking. ”

"They are basically familiar with it, and I have to explore the rest slowly." Ning Yi smiled, held Hongti's hand, and the two walked forward side by side, "What do you think of seeing someone?" ”

"I didn't say anything as you said, but what they said was very good, so Grandpa Liang only asked me to ask your opinion." The woman raised her hand holding the sword, smiled and stroked her hair. Ning Yi looked at her plain smile and laughed too. The fact that a woman can be the owner of Qingmu Village for so long cannot be all the credit of Liang Bingfu, she actually has an opinion, but she doesn't say it now. So he asked, "What do you think of yourself?" ”

"I don't want to talk about that." Hong Ti said, "The things he said are very good, how to use Zhao'an Zhao, the relationship between which adult to take, how to take care of the whole route after the matter is completed, how many people there are outside Luliang Mountain." How much money can we make in a year, and how much can he give Lu Liang. It all sounds good, and if it was before, I really wanted it. But there's no guarantee on our side that he'll do it. It seems to say in that idiom, what is Qi...... Behind them is the Qi family, and I suddenly thought of ......"

"Qi Da is not a coincidence." Ning Yi said with a smile, "That's right, the Qi family's power is in this area south of Luliang Mountain, and if you want to do business, their power is the largest. But if you really want to cooperate with them, in the end, whether he gives benefits or not depends on his mood. There is no need to talk about it. ”

"But in this way, he may stumble on us outside the mountain, after all, they are very powerful." Hongti frowned, "There are also Wu Shengjun and Dong Pang'er, according to what they said, if you add the army, you will have a backer, and they will take good care of their own people." But if it's not their own people, they're afraid they'll be bad too. In addition, there are some people who have a very good attitude, and they can help with Zhao Anzhao, and they don't ask for many things. And the Tiger King's side, that Lou girl, I think she is very knowledgeable......"

The two of them walked all the way, along the winding mountain road, to the grove in front of them, and the sunlight peeled down from the gaps in the trees. Where there are only two people, the forest seems quiet and warm. Ning Yi walked and talked to her.

"Some things look at the concept, and some things look at the process. From beginning to end, Aoki Village is to open the door to do business, and if they are interested, they can actually come. If you want to eat alone, you have to tear your face, indeed, either side has this ability, but this kind of thing of eating alone is good to say at your own doorstep, the forces that do business with the Qi family are not eighty but also one hundred, tearing their faces everywhere, how many faces they can tear. The same is true for the army, and the same is true for Tian Hu's side. Of course, it is not ruled out that they may be annoyed and angry, but before that, as long as they can speak clearly, there are still not many traders who can tear their faces casually. But when you talk about Tian Hu, I can probably guess what they say......"

"That Lou girl, Liheng, you know, right?" Red Mention Road.

"You also know when I was in Hangzhou, her father and brother died at my hands. Later, in such a chaotic situation, I thought she died on the way to escape. Now that I think about it, the matter of the little ringing horse should also be caused by her. ”

"She's amazing." Hongti nodded, recalling the scene when the woman talked eloquently in front of her in the lobby of Aoki Village in the afternoon, from the timing and convenience of the cooperation between the two sides to the foundation of mutual trust. There is also the core that the Tiger King will not interfere with the operation of Aoki Village, and even the business plan in the future, the resources that the Tiger King has now mastered, etc...... The two men named Yu Yulin and Tian Shi who were present at the time were almost covered by her existence, if they were to change places, without Ning Yi there, she would really consider each other's opinions carefully.

Of course, it's another matter now: "In addition to trying to convince me in person and hear people talk about it, she is also active under the mountain, connecting the King of the Troubled Mountains and Luan Black Skull. If things don't work out. You may have to force yourself up the mountain. It's amazing that she's a woman who can do this. Do you want someone to ...... her?"

Hongti didn't continue, but Ning Yi laughed: "Like I said." Some things depend on the concept. Some things are up to Cheng dù. If it doesn't work out. Find someone to force you to cooperate, or send a master to challenge you like Dong Pang'er. It's not a bad idea. But...... Whatever she wants, don't worry about her...... There is no grudge between me and her that I have to kill her, when I was in Hangzhou, she managed the business for her family, and she was capable, but in general she was still a little naïve. To be able to do this journey so far, it must have been not easy to live this way. ”

Ning Yi sighed, then recalled the past, and said with a smile: "Actually, she was very enthusiastic when she invited me and Tan'er to play in Hangzhou back then. It's just that later in the war, those people in her family had brain problems...... It's just fate. That's the case with a lot of things, and you don't have to see one kill the other. ”

"You killed her father and brother, and now you say so." Hongti tilted her head to look at him, "I don't know how she will feel when she hears this." ”

"What could I have done then? What can she do now? Since it's a knot that can't be untied, there's no need to think about it. ”

Saying this, Ning Yi smiled and leaned towards Hongti. There was no one else in the forest, the lips of the two touched together, and then the slightly hot red grapes also hugged Ning Yi and buried his forehead between his neck. She is a woman in the mountains, and since she has promised Ning Yi, she is actually not so twisted. Holding hands, hugging, kissing, she doesn't know much, but she is happy with her lover from the bottom of her heart, as for what Ning Yi wants to do to her, she is just happy and satisfied.

Talking about trivial things in the woodland, then walking to the edge of the woodland and sitting aside to look at the scene below. Hongti was used to living in the mountains, and found a nest of rabbits - she ran to the weeds with rocks, and dragged out a fat female rabbit from it, and her body was also stained with dirt and grass stalks, and she didn't look like a martial arts master, but she was holding the rabbit's ears to Ning Yi in the sunset, which made Ning Yi feel extra warm.

There were still a few little rabbits in the pile of rocks, and the red grapes didn't catch them, but they just sat with Ning Yi on the edge of the woodland with the big rabbit in their arms for a while, and when they got up to leave, she thought about it and let go of the big rabbit in her hand.

"You don't want to get caught again." She crouched there and said this, smiling faintly.

Ning Yi watched from the side.

The two went back to the cottage together and had dinner with Liang Bingfu. At night, Ning Yi lived in a courtyard with them, he lived in a guest room, and Hongti's residence was separated from him by two houses. At night, the courtyard was lit up, Ning Yi found someone to come over to discuss matters, and Hongti and several sisters and aunts living in the courtyard dealt with all kinds of trivial matters, and occasionally walked under the eaves.

After the blacksmith leader surnamed Qin who was brought this time left, Hongti came and knocked on the door, but he brought hot water and a handkerchief. She is strict with the outside world, but she is not greedy for enjoyment in her private life, except for the necessary maids who help with the village affairs, most of the things in life are done by herself. Sometimes when I have time, I will help the women in the yard choose dishes and cook together. At this time, it is also very natural to bring face wash water for Ning Yi, of course, in the entire cottage, except for Ning Yi, it is estimated that only Liang Bingfu is the only one who has received this kind of treatment.

In the bright yellow light, the two 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 at it, and then went in again......

Under the dark canopy, it was really a small, small courtyard......

***************

"Aoki Village, this Blood Bodhisattva, doesn't seem to want to talk to us!" On the same night, in the room, Yu Yulin said this.

"She doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone." At the table not far away, Lou Shuwan held her chin, her eyes didn't know where she was looking, but her expression looked relaxed, and her words looked leisurely. "But I can see that what I said, she was actually a little tempted."

"Miss Lou, do you think she wants to sell at a price?" Picking up a teacup and taking a sip, Yu Yulin asked.

"It's possible, but it's not quite like it." Lou Shuwan said, "It's right to wait for the price and sell, but she has been hanging us out for so long, and it stands to reason that she is willing to see us today." It's time to have an idea. Now it seems that this Blood Bodhisattva is actually very strong, and she is unwilling to cooperate with anyone and cling to her. I just want to do business like before...... I can't see it on the surface......"

Lou Shuwan muttered in a low voice. He also said: "General Yu, the third prince." You say, is she really a blood bodhisattva? How could she, such a young woman, create such a situation. I'll see her today. I think she's so powerful, but I can't imagine ......"

"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." I, the third prince, and Mr. Qiu can all feel it vaguely. It's just that her cultivation is too high, and she has almost returned to her roots, or she no longer has murderous intentions, so you can't see Miss Lou. ”

"Can you kill without murderous intent?" Lou Shuwan said curiously.

Yu Yulin thought for a while: "For ordinary people, it is just a matter of looking down, doing everything as you like, and there is no contradiction and confusion, and that's it." ”

Lou Shuwan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "What I'm more curious about is why that Zhu Biao wants to challenge Sha Wanshi today, can he challenge the Blood Bodhisattva if he defeats Sha Wanshi?" Also, what did the guy surnamed Ning do today......

She was concerned about this, and the last paragraph was almost muttering to herself, Yu Yulin frowned, looked at Tian Shi next to her, who was not participating in the discussion and was distracted, and only after a while did she speak: "Impossible, that Zhu Biao's martial arts will definitely not challenge the Blood Bodhisattva." To say the challenge...... I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself. ”

"It's impossible......" Lou Shuwan whispered, after all, it was difficult to accept that Ning Yi's martial arts would be as high as this, and then said: "Then no matter what, what should be done still has to be done." General Yu, I see that the Blood Bodhisattva is tempting to mention me, and more chips are here with you and the third prince. Tomorrow, you and the third prince will continue to visit her, in short, go on a good relationship, even if you chat, it's okay, the third prince, it's up to you next. ”

Today, when I went up the mountain, Lou Shuwan put all her interests, and as for the marriage, I always had to see the reaction and then put it forward. After all, it is the person who meets the party, and it is impossible to say directly to the face, "Our Tiger King wants to marry, please marry our third prince." "The other party is a woman, if you turn your face in anger and shame when the time comes, it will really be a chicken and a flying egg. Tian Shi felt a little wrong since he saw the other party, and raised his head from a daze at this time. The words are extraordinarily masculine

"No problem, I know how to do it." Then he added, "Master Lou, you are also very powerful, I only admire you now." ”

Lou Shuwan smiled charmingly: "If necessary, I will also visit her." But the most important thing is that I still have to contact Luan Sanwolf and the others, if things don't work out, we will call more people to share this cake. The third prince, she is a woman after all, no matter how strong a person is, she will want to rely on her, you work harder. ”

Tian Shi smiled and bared his teeth.

When Yu Yulin and Tian Shi said goodbye, Lou Shuwan got up and sent them to the door, she folded her hands in front of her, and smiled as the two of them went back to their rooms, and then looked towards the darkness in the distance. Although there had already been action over there, she still couldn't guess what medicine Ning Yi was selling in the gourd.

In the following days, Tian Shi began to visit the Blood Bodhisattva frequently, and Lou Shuwan continued to meet with people and horses on various hills, pushing the Luliang thieves outside Aoki Village to unite. In her concept, halfway through the matter, someone should intervene, at least Ning Yi's side, should be aware of her actions and stop it, so she also anticipated all kinds of troubles and prepared various countermeasures, and even imagined that Ning Yi sent someone to kill her, she was a weak woman, this should be the easiest way to break the situation.

So much so that three days later, at night, she woke up from her bed, sat on the bed against the wall in a daze, looked at the moonlight shining in from the window lattice, and lost her mind for nearly an hour. She had a vague hallucination that the person sent by Ning Yi to kill her would come in through the window, or maybe Ning Yi himself......

However, her killer never came.

Three days later, the momentum outside Qingmu Village has become more and more lively, and the tentacles of various forces have also extended over on a large scale, "King of Troubled Mountains" Chen Zhenhai, "Black Skull King" Luan Sanwolf, Fang Yiyang brothers, these big heroes of Luliang Mountain, under the operation and lobbying of Lou Shuwan, most of them feel the urgency and crisis. In such an atmosphere, the rest of the forces in Luliang Mountain have also been alarmed, and they have begun to contact and negotiate with these people one after another.

And in the midst of this bustle, a certain place in Lou Shuwan's heart became extremely quiet, she felt that something might happen at any time, but she faintly felt that the other party didn't notice her movements at all...... Because in everyone's response, only the people in the courtyard led by Zhu Biao, practicing martial arts and fighting all day long, wandering around and basking in the sun, did not see any movement at all, and Ning Yi ...... Still not in her sight......

As the people on the top of the mountains of Luliang Mountain began to move, they came to Qingmu Village. The mountain rain is coming, and she can't figure out how the other party wants to put an end to this chaos, so as to get the benefits he wants in it...... (To be continued......)
