"Although Uncle Shi is nominally the director of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, he has no interest in managing the Manufacturing Bureau. He handed over the management of the manufacturing bureau to the rest of the Xia family, and became a hands-off shopkeeper himself. With my father's acquiescence, Uncle Shi built a weapons workshop in the mountain behind the Xia family and settled down. ”

"Every day, apart from eating and resting, he has been locking himself in, smelting metals and crafting weapons. Every once in a while, my father would arrange for someone to go to the workshop to retrieve the weapons made by Uncle Shi and put them at auction in the market in the name of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau. Each of the weapons made by Uncle Shi is superb, and those connoisseurs who sell weapons, weapon making masters, and the high-ranking officials of the Yanyao Army are full of praise for Uncle Shi's weapons. Therefore, every time the auction is a weapon with Uncle Shi's name, it is basically priceless. There was even a time when a superb dagger made of Yan Yao was auctioned for hundreds of millions of dollars. Xia Muyao continued.

"Is this the origin of his nickname 'Master of War'?" Di Xi asked.

Xia Muyao nodded: "However, I only found out later." ”

"Later?" Yu Zhibo said.

"That is, after he left the Xia family, my father told me." Speaking of this, Xia Muyao's eyes were a little gloomy.

"Then Sister Mu Yao, how did you know Uncle Shi?" Rana lying on the sofa was still restless, blinking her big angry eyes and asked.

"It was also a serendipitous opportunity." Xia Muyao continued, "My training ground is very close to the back mountain, and I pass by every day when I go home after training. One day, at the end of a day's combat training, I was passing by the mountains as usual, when I was attracted by the sound of iron. Xunsheng went over and found that there was a weapon workshop hidden in the back mountain, and curiosity prompted me to go inside. ”

"Good fellows, it's a museum of weapons. These weapons go beyond being weapons, they are works of art, and I can't put them down. ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhibo on the side secretly took out a small book and wrote, "Mu Yao's favorite thing: weapons."

"It occurred to me that the people who could make these weapons were certainly not mortals. So I tiptoed into the inner room, and I saw a burly middle-aged man, shirtless, with his back to me, holding a huge hammer in one hand, hammer after hammer striking a piece of flame alloy. Surprisingly, Yanyao alloy, which has always been known for its hardness, was like an ordinary piece of metal in his hand, and in a short time, a plate axe that sharpened iron like clay was born in his hand. ”

"'Did you make all these flame weapons alone?' I remember that was the first thing I said to him. 'Little girl, who told you to come here. When he turned around, he blew his beard and glared at me. ”

"Later, at the end of each day of training, I would go to Uncle Shi's weapon workshop to watch him make weapons. At first, he only cared about his own iron, and I didn't exist. I didn't talk to him, I just stayed by his side and watched him make one weapon after another. ”

"Finally, after a few more days, he couldn't help but ask, 'Little girl, what's the point of you coming to see me every day as a bad old man striking iron?' ”

"'It's not interesting, I just think it's funny that you hit iron with a sledgehammer.' I said casually. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man was not angry: "You little girl, it's a little interesting." ’”

"I told him my name was 'Ah Yao', and he asked me to call him 'Uncle Stone', and we became good friends who talked about everything. I would complain to him about the hard work; He would also tell me the story of his life and death on the battlefield. Sometimes I would secretly bring him snacks from home; He would also use leftovers to make me darts, knives, and other things. He even taught me some techniques and mantras for forging Yanyao. He also promised me that when I grew up, he would build a weapon for me to take advantage of. ”

"Two years have passed before I know it, and the day I accept my family inheritance is approaching. At a family gathering, when my father proudly introduced me to everyone for the first time, I saw Uncle Shi sitting at the main table with a shocked expression, and he knew at that time that A-Yao, who talked to him every day, was Miss Xiafu. After the family reunion, although I still went to Uncle Shi every day, Uncle Shi deliberately kept his distance from me. And she doesn't call me A-Yao anymore, she only calls me Miss. ”

"Then, on the eve of my family inheritance. I received news that Uncle Shi had a big quarrel with his father for some reason. I ran to his weapons workshop, but no matter how much I begged him, he refused to see me, and all I received was the sound of the iron. After I finished accepting the family inheritance, I was in a coma for a few days due to the backlash of the true fire power. ”

"When I woke up, I heard from the people in the house that Uncle Shi had resigned because he was suspected of selling a large number of superb weapons to the rebels, and he was nowhere to be found. When I ran to the weapons workshop in the back mountain, the building was empty. I ran back to question my father, and explained to him that it was impossible for Uncle Stone to collude with the rebels and ask him to find Uncle Stone back. But my father said that this is what your Uncle Shi meant, and it is also his best destination. ”

"Then my father handed me a package and told me that it was left for me by Uncle Shi when he left. I opened it and saw that it was the 'forged' sword you see now. After I joined the army, I thought of many ways to find Uncle Shi, and wanted to ask him why he didn't say goodbye, but they all fell into the sea. I didn't expect to participate in the 'Proxima Centauri Project' this time so that I would meet him again, but I didn't expect ......" Speaking of this, Xia Muyao also stopped talking and sat there silently, and everyone present was also embarrassed.

Yu Zhibo slammed his fist on the wall of the conference room, and the wall made of Xijin was actually hammered out of the pit. After punching this punch, Yu Zhibo picked up the "Dianhai" and walked outside the conference room.

"Brother Bo, where are you going?" Di Xi hurriedly stood in front of Yu Zhibo, afraid that he would find trouble with Shi Sui.

Yu Zhibo didn't say a word, directly pushed Di Xi away, and walked straight to the door and stopped. "Don't worry, I'm just going outside to get some air, and I'm not prepared to trouble that old stone. I still know the measure! After saying this, his back disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Di Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, he really couldn't make any more extraneous branches.

"It smells so much vinegar!" Feng Ying'er smiled bitterly.

"Vinegar? Where? Where? Don't smell it? Puzzled, Leina looked left and right.

Xia Muyao also raised her head and glanced at the door intentionally or unintentionally, looking thoughtful.

In the forge room of the satellite base, Shi Sui held a giant hammer and used all his strength to repeatedly hammer at a piece of deformed metal.

"Brother Xia, how can you let Ah Yao, oh no, eldest lady, put her in danger?" In the hall of the Xia Mansion, Shi Sui unexpectedly yelled at Xia Yixiong, who he regarded as his brother, "She is still so young, once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"Brother Shi, it's not that you don't know, this is the fate of our Xia family's heir. Each heir must shoulder the responsibility of guarding Yanyao Star. Even if it is Mu Yao, she is no exception. I didn't want her to have to go through such a huge ordeal at such a young age, but Zhenhuo just chose her, and she was the only one in our entire Xia family who had this talent. Xia Yixiong said helplessly, with a lot of reluctance in his words.

"But it's not fair to the eldest lady! With such a great responsibility, why should a little girl be left to bear it, why not us, why not someone else? Shi Sui said unconvinced.

"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? Do you want me to exchange the lives of tens of millions of people in Yanyao Star for the lives of my daughter? You and I were born and died on the battlefield together, didn't you see the scenes of life and death with your own eyes? Do you want the people of Yanyao Star to suffer the same misfortune as you......" As soon as Xia Yixiong's words came out, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly apologized to Shi Sui, "I'm sorry, Brother Shi." Brother Xia was excited for a while. ”

"Brother Xia, it's okay. I actually know your situation, but I can't bear to look at the eldest lady......"

"Sir! Big things are not good? The butler rushed in, "Ah, Master Shi is also there!" ”

"What's going on, it's blazing." Xia Yixiong asked loudly. He was very unhappy that the butler had interrupted his conversation with Shi Sui.

"Master, there's something big... But "the butler was vague, and his eyes glanced at Shi Sui.

"Big brother, if you have something, I'll retire first." Shi Sui was interested and ready to get up and say goodbye.

"My own brother, what is there to avoid." Xia Yixiong said angrily, "If there is anything, it doesn't hurt to say it in front of my brother!" ”

Seeing this, the housekeeper could only tell the truth: "Report to the master, the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau has been seized by the authorities!" There have been reports of people in the manufacturing bureau selling weapons to the rebels, and it appears that the military is also involved in the investigation. The housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xia Yixiong's eyes at all.

"What, how can it be so! Xia Yijie, you brute! You are going to ruin the foundation of the Xia family! Xia Yixiong roared angrily.

Shi Sui did the thing of shaking off the shopkeeper, and Xia Yixiong knew it clearly. First, Shi Sui is not suitable for managing the Manufacturing Bureau at all, and second, with Shi Sui's prestige and skills, a name is enough to benefit the Manufacturing Bureau a lot. And with Xia Yixiong's understanding of Shi Sui, it is impossible for him to do such a thing. The only person who can do such a thing is the actual manager of the Arms Manufacturing Bureau - Xia Yijie, Xia Yixiong's brother.

"No, I'm going to catch this culprit and hand him over." Xia Yixiong said that he was about to set off to arrest Xia Yijie.

"Brother Xia, wait a minute." Shi Sui grabbed Xia Yixiong.

"There's nothing to do with you here, you step down!" Shi Sui said to the butler. As if he had been pardoned, the butler retired again and again, and ran out of the hall in a puff of smoke.

"Brother Shi, your eyebrows are burning, why are you stopping me!" Xia Yixiong looked very anxious.

"Brother Xia, if you think about it carefully, even if you hand over Xia Yijie, isn't it still your Xia family's crime? The Xia family still can't be saved! So there's only one way. Shi Sui said calmly.

"Brother Shi, what do you mean. No, absolutely not! Xia Yixiong has already understood Shi Sui's so-called method.

"Brother Xia, you listen to me first. In fact, I came to you this time to say goodbye to you. I really can't bear to see what Mu Yao will look like in the future. So it just so happens that you put all the sin on me. Just when I repay you for your kindness to me back then! Shi Sui said his own way.

"Absolutely not, what do you think of me Xia Yixiong. I'd rather fight for the reputation of the Xia family, and I can't let you, brother, bear the injustice for our family. Xia Yixiong said excitedly.

"Brother Xia, allow me to call you one last time. Have you forgotten the mistakes I made back then? If it weren't for you, I would have cut myself at her grave a long time ago. Speaking of this, Shi Sui already had tears in his eyes.

"Brother, why do you still remember what happened back then, I have already said it, it is not your fault at all!" Xia Yixiong's tears couldn't be stopped. "I've made up my mind! I just beg you not to tell A-Yao, please help me hide the real reason for my departure. Also, this is the weapon I promised her to build for her, please give it to her after she has accepted the inheritance......"

A few days later, the Yanyaoxing military issued a wanted warrant: "The former deputy head of the Yanyaoxing First Marine Special Forces, Shi Zhongtian, is hereby wanted and arrested on suspicion of fornicating with the rebels....."

Not only Xia Muyao, but Shi Sui's memories also kept appearing in his mind under his own hammer. Before he knew it, the unlucky piece of metal had been beaten into a flatbread by him.

"Old Stone!" Shi Sui heard someone call him, and immediately stopped the sledgehammer in his hand. When he looked back, it was Mannheim who had walked in with a wine bottle. "You old dragon, what's the matter with me!" Shi Sui asked. "Without it, wine tasting!" Mannheim said, gesturing to the bottle. Shi Sui was silent for a while, and replied, "Okay, thank you!" ”
