"Yes, young master, among them, the Xie family is the one who can't wait to bring down the Liu family." Liu Cheng gritted his teeth, angry and annoyed.

"In addition to a lot of money, it takes a lot of manpower to make good iron from secondary iron, and because of this, there is one person in the shop."

Zhong Qin pondered for a moment: "Shopkeeper Liu, is there any iron in the shop that has just come out of the mine?" ”

In three months, he cast the 100,000 swords that King Pingnan wanted, and smelted good iron from the secondary iron, but I don't know when I will get it.

The solution for the present is to solve the problem from the root.

Liu Cheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Today, Lao He came back from watching the mine in the morning and brought a piece, the young master waited, and his subordinates went to get it immediately. ”

Although he didn't know what Zhong Qin's latte was for, Liu Cheng quickly took a piece of raw iron stone.

Zhong Qin stroked the iron repeatedly, and then asked under his nose, sometimes frowning and sometimes understanding.

Liu Cheng didn't dare to disturb her, and lowered his voice to greet Wuyun next to him: "Young master, this is?" ”

Of course, Liu Cheng saw that Zhong Qin wanted to find the problem of iron ore, but he didn't know how to trust her.

In his opinion, Zhong Qin may have some ability, otherwise he would not be favored by the owner of Liu Zhuang and accepted as a righteous son.

But he is young and his travel experience is still shallow, how can he have the ability to solve the problem that causes headaches for many iron miners.

Seeing what Liu Cheng was thinking, Wuyun smiled mysteriously: "People can't look good, the shopkeeper Liu is waiting." ”

There is a kind of person who usually does not show the dew, but once he makes a move, he is shocked.

Wuyun knows very well that Zhong Qin is such a person, who has solved a lot of problems for Zangjian Villa without a trace in the past half a year.

Otherwise, the owner of Liu Zhuang would not have sent her to inspect the Linzi industry with such peace of mind, and worked hard to cultivate her.

can be evaluated like this, Liu Cheng was silent, and became more and more curious about Zhong Qin.

After a while, I saw Zhong Qin put down the original iron stone and looked at Liucheng: "Shopkeeper Liu, I don't know if there is a volcano under Nanyin City?" ”

Liu Cheng thought for a while and nodded: "Nanyin City is indeed a volcano, and it is also the reason why Nanyin City is like spring all year round. ”

"But this volcano is very stable, according to the subordinates, the last eruption was more than 20 years ago, when the subordinates had just arrived in Nanyin City, and it was only the year of the crown."

Liu Cheng sighed with emotion, time flies.

Zhong Qin hooked the corners of his lips clearly: "That's right." ”

"Young Master, has you found the reason why the primary iron is smelted out of secondary iron?" Liu Cheng was surprised.

"There are some clues, but it's not quite certain." Zhong Qin blinked his eyes, and his pupils were like fine black glass, shining brightly: "Come to think of it, the Xie family has sprinkled a highly permeable powder - stone powder when they use their hands and feet on the iron mine. ”

"As the name suggests, stone powder can soften the stone, but it will not destroy its bones, but only let the air flow into it, causing the iron in the mine to react with the oxygen in the air, and produce a dense film of blue-black or tan according to the temperature and humidity of the ground, which is here."

Zhong Qin pointed to a mesh on the primary iron.

Wuyun and Liu Cheng heard it in a fog, and they didn't understand some of the words in Zhong Qin's words.

Zhong Qin continued: "Because there is a volcano under the mineral, with the burning day and night, the film becomes loose and easy to crack slag, so that the corrosion develops to the depths, and the mined primary iron stone becomes secondary iron. ”

To put it simply, it is high-temperature vulcanization.

"This ......" Liu Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "The subordinates that the young master said don't understand too well, but I understand a little, that is, iron ore is secondary iron, in addition to the Xie family's despicable and shameless methods, it is also inseparable from the underground volcano, right?" ”

Zhong Qin bowed: "The Xie family takes advantage of the right time, place and people, and we naturally can't do anything about the volcano, but if we want to solve this matter, we have to start from the roots." ”

"Is there a way for the young master?" Liu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he began to admire Zhong Qin's insight in his heart.

is worthy of being the person chosen by the owner, not to mention anything else, just by finding the reason for the second iron so easily, it is enough to make people impressed.

"There's a solution, but I don't know if it works." The corners of Zhong Qin's lips curled up with a cold arc: "Wuyun, you go to do an ultimatum tomorrow, and I will go to the Sword Casting Division with Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Now that it has entered the Qi country, it is not far from Linzi, it is all the industry of Tibetan Sword Villa, and it doesn't hurt to stay here for a day or two.

Seeing that Zhong Qin had his own verdict, Wuyun respectfully responded "yes" and began to arrange.

Shopkeeper Liu was confused, he didn't know Zhong Qin's intentions, and the wisps of hope that had just risen were annihilated again.

That's it, no matter how knowledgeable the young master is, after all, he is young, and it is normal to have no way for a while.

Subconsciously, Liu Cheng regarded Zhong Qin's mystery as a face-saving task, and didn't think she really had any solution to the problem.

With a silent sigh, he arched his fist and said: "Young master, the journey is long, you can rest, go down and let people prepare some changes of clothes, and let the kitchen cook a few meals." ”

"Okay, there's a shopkeeper of Lao Liu."

Liu Cheng's thoughts, Zhong Qin saw through it and didn't say anything, and smiled lightly.

After Wuyun and Liu Cheng left, and Zhong Qin was left alone in the house, she took out the blood jade in her arms.

True to its name, the blood jade is exquisite, warm and smooth, with a lifelike phoenix carved in the middle.

"The pattern of the world is undecided, and those who get exquisite jade win the world."

Zhong Qin's white fingertips rubbed the snow jade, and his mind couldn't help but linger with the words of Yu Wenyou and the man in red.

In the past half a year, she has been dormant in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and she has secretly inquired about a lot of news about Linglong Jade, and she doesn't know which Cheng wants to hold the jade.

What made Zhong Qin puzzle was that this snow jade was semicircular, and there should be something connected to the phoenix mouth in the middle.

Isn't it...... This jade is only half? Zhong Qin made a bold guess.

In whose hands is the other half?

"Young master, the hot water has been boiled, and the slave maid is waiting for the young master to change his clothes."

Zhong Qin was still pondering, and a delicate-looking girl came in and bent her knees and blessed her body.

This call pulled her back to reality, she put away the blood jade, and there was alienation between her beautiful embroidered eyebrows: "No need, I'll just do it myself." ”

"Yes, young master." The master spoke, and the maid didn't dare to put her beak and retreated as ordered.

After dinner, it was still early, Wuyun went to the Nanyin City official mansion to apply for an ultimatum, and Zhong Qin walked around at will under the leadership of Liucheng until the mountain rain was coming.

As soon as they returned to the house, thunder and lightning thundered and the rain was heavy.

Liu Cheng's chest injury did not heal, and he was suddenly hit by this sudden cold and coughed.

Zhong Qin frowned: "The pills given by Wuyun, Shopkeeper Liu must take them on time." ”

Liu Cheng's old face was full of ravines, and he smiled apologetically: "The subordinates are old and useless, so the young master will laugh." ”

"The shopkeeper is back?" The people inside heard the voice and greeted them, and when they saw Zhong Qin, they were slightly stunned: "Presumably this is the young master who scolded Xie Laogou today, right?" ”
