The "Wufu" noodles made by Lin Ruo himself are not much, and he is still afraid that Murong Chong's injury is recuperating and healing, and he can't eat too much heavy food, and this meal is regarded as a benefit only on his birthday.

And they ate together with two people, and neither of them was full. So, the pot of uneven noodles made by Murong Chong came in handy.

I don't know if it's because I participated in the production by myself, or because Lin Ruo's cooking skills are really good, just add a few slices of greens, a fried egg, a few spoonfuls of sesame oil and a handful of green onions, the appearance and taste of the noodles are quite delicious.

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo with satisfaction and said, "This is the best Shou Noodle I've ever tasted." ”

Color, fragrance, taste, strangeness, joy, the same does not fall.

Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile, accepted Murong Chong's praise, and said seemingly casually: "I ate a little too much, do you want the fourth brother to walk with me and eliminate food?" ”

Murong Chong didn't doubt that he had him, so he readily agreed.

The two held hands and walked leisurely by the lake in the palace, sheltered by the lush green trees to resist the heat of the summer afternoon, but after walking for a long time, fine beads of sweat also appeared.

However, Murong Chong didn't want to go back, and his curious eyes stared at the large and small windmills decorated with green vines not far away, a little puzzled. These windmills have been there since he came back, watching the little servants of the palace running here from time to time, fiddling with the vines, and also asked, but the little servants couldn't say why, only said that the princess ordered them. He probably guessed that this was probably specially prepared by Lin Ruo for his birthday, but he really couldn't see the fame in it.

"It's not set up yet, let's go back first, and come back in the evening."

Lin Ruo generously admitted it, but it made Murong Chong even more curious about what kind of arrangement she had made.

Looking at Lin Ruo's clear and clear eyes, Murong Chong nodded, and the two went to Lin Ruo's study together—in fact, Lin Ruo led Murong Chong there. Probably some kind of surprise was prepared, right?

Murong Chong thought so.

The shelves in the study are all made of rosewood, which was brought over by Lin Ruo's dowry, and the layout is somewhat similar to the Lin family's study, but it is not the same. The desk in the middle was removed and a suit of armor was placed.

Don't think about it, it must be a birthday gift specially prepared for him by Lin Ruo.

"It's ......"

Rao is Murong Chong crisscrossed the battlefield, and he has been with the armor for half his life, and he can't say the name of this armor. At first glance, it looks like cotton armor, because all the iron rings and iron pieces are embedded in the innermost layer of thick silk; However, if you look closely, it looks a little like chain mail, but the iron ring on it is much denser than chain mail, and it is more appropriate to say that it is "woven" with fine iron; Locks the size of copper coins are embedded in the vital parts and anchored with iron nails.

"I found a craftsman to create a fine iron interlocking cotton armor," Lin Ruo looked at Murong Chong and explained in a low voice, "I don't know much about what kind of armor is strong, so I consulted the craftsman, I don't want to be too heavy, and I want to be able to deal with open guns and dark arrows on the battlefield." I barely succeeded in such a thing, and I found Wu Blame and Ah Shu to try, but they were invulnerable and impenetrable. ”

Because you are the invincible King Rong of Donglu, you can't stop you from going to the battlefield, and you have no eyes in the face of the sword on the battlefield. But I didn't want you to get hurt again, so I did my best to create such a fine iron interlocking cotton armor......

This was Lin Ruo's intention, and he began to work on this matter from the day he learned that Murong Chong was injured accidentally.

Murong Chong didn't know that every piece of iron on it had a hidden mystery: each piece of mirror iron the size of a copper plate was poured in two parts, and a batch of solid fine iron rings was first poured by the wax melting method to ensure that it could just catch the size of the arrows, and then the fine iron rings were poured into iron pieces one by one.

Therefore, the invulnerability of swords and guns and the impermeability of arrows are not what Lin Ruo boasted about in vain, but it was indeed made that Wuyi and Leng Shu used bows and crossbows and swords to test and test, and only then did they determine the size and thickness of each fine iron ring. As for the dense iron ring, it is indeed a technique similar to "weaving" to form such a dense but flexible nail surface.

However, correspondingly, the weight of this fine iron interlocking cotton armor is about five catties heavier than that of ordinary armor.

"It's really a little tight on time, fourth brother, you will take a look first, if there is anything unreasonable, I will let the craftsman master change it." Also," Lin Ruo took out two small samples from the wooden box on the shelf on the side, "If this cotton armor is worn in winter, it will be fine, if it is summer, it is really boring, so I tried ice silk instead of thick silk, but the toughness is a little less." I found the embroidery girl and the craftsmen to figure out a way together, if there is new progress, I will immediately give you a new armor! ”

Murong Chong rubbed this fine iron chain cotton armor, and his heart was moved.

"It's already good!"

He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the advantages and disadvantages of his armor can be known at a touch.

The Donglu Imperial Court set up a special armament department in the Ministry of War, which was in charge of the manufacture of weapons and weapons throughout the country. The Middle and West workshops and the Ordnance Factory were responsible for the manufacture of military weapons, and the Armor Institute was responsible for the manufacture of the army's armor.

I am afraid that such a set of armor may not even be able to be made by the imperial court's armor, and even if it can, I am afraid that it is not willing to spend so much Zhou Zhang, a lot of financial resources and manpower and time to make it - unless it is dedicated to the emperor.

However, then again, the imperial court is extremely strict with the iron mine, and all blacksmith shops are registered in the household department, and it is not surprising that the Lin family has a blacksmith shop, but the craftsmen of the Lin family can create such a set of fine iron chain cotton armor.

However, Lin Ruo did this insistedly, just for him.

Lin Ruo was still talking about the advantages and disadvantages of this set of armor, hoping that Murong Chong could give some opinions, but Murong Chong held her hand and asked about the worries in his heart.

"The fourth brother can ask like this, my heart is worth it." Lin Ruo smiled lightly, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I do things in a measured manner, and I won't let the emperor blame me." ”

When Murong Chong saw her like this, he knew that she was sure, so he nodded: "That's good, now I will seal your 'heart' in the study for a while, and when everything is in order, I will wear this iron chain cotton armor again." ”

"Well," Lin Ruo's eyes crooked with a smile, hearing that Murong Chong understood what he meant, and he considered her a lot, he was very happy in his heart, "Fourth brother, don't worry, it won't be long before this armor can be shown." ”

"Really? That's great! ”

Murong Chong couldn't put it down and rubbed this fine iron interlocking cotton armor, and he was quite looking forward to the time when he could wear it.
