Chapter 1078: The Story of the Sword 7
Ou Yezi, who returned to Yecheng, held a simple funeral for Lu Yin, most of Lu Yin's disciples had already run far away, and the situation of Yue Guo at this time was precarious.
Originally, the national strength was not as strong as Wu, and with the death of Yue Wang Yunchang, Wu immediately began to gather troops at the border, preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Yue, and annexed Yue in one fell swoop.
And at this time, Ou Yezi seems to have changed a person Yes, he unknowingly, he can't strike iron, as long as he holds the hammer, his hands will tremble, and gradually, Ou Yezi no longer holds the hammer.
The Lufu was lonely, and only some of the former servants, as well as the cadres, and other disciples also left, going to the places where weapons were needed to seek a better life.
An amnesty was issued, and the craftsmen of Yecheng were ordered to build armor and weapons overnight, and at this time, the Marquis of Ji Ji seemed to still have a grudge against the events of the year, he clearly knew that there was such a big thing in Lufu, but he still gave Ou Yezi a large number of weapons, if it could not be completed, he would be torn apart.
This is like a bolt from the blue for the people of the Lu Mansion, such a number of armor and weapons require at least 10 craftsmen to be completed within a month, and at this time in the mansion, only the cadres can work, he is just a child.
A three-day, nine-year-old cadre, day and night in the blacksmith shop, knocking and beating, Ou Yezi could only help smelt the ore and add water on the side, his hand, once he held the hammer, would begin to tremble, as if he had a strange disease.
But the number of weapons and armor, no matter how a child about 9 years old, can't be completed, Ou Yezi knows very well, the marquis of Jiji, through the pardon issued by the royal family, wants to take the opportunity to take revenge on them for that incident back then.
Later, Ou Yezi heard that the matter of letting his master Lu Yin build a sword unparalleled in the world for Yue Wang Yunchang was proposed by the Marquis of Jiji, and he found a phase master and persuaded Yue Wang Yunchang, saying that a sword that is unparalleled in the world can open the country.
The whole city is in full swing to manufacture weapons and armor, Ou Yezi had no choice but to get the previous cooperative shop, borrowing people, but the answer is no, all kinds of reasons, so that Ou Yezi can only return in vain.
People up and down the Lu Mansion are all helping to strike iron, and even Lu Ke is also involved, although she is a daughter, she is familiar with it, and she can do some iron-making work.
Ou Yezi's state of mind was bleak, and the blacksmiths who had been taken care of by their masters before coldly and ruthlessly rejected what he wanted to borrow, which made him very cold.
After that, Ou Yezi continued to run, in a blacksmith's house that had received the great grace of Lu Yin, he heard that it was the Marquis of Jiji, who was a hindrance, and had already found a lecture, attacked from the side, and told all the blacksmiths in the city that he wanted to kill Ou Yezi and them, and no blacksmith was allowed to go over to help, otherwise the end would be death.
In the past, with the relationship between Yue Wang Yunchang and Lu Yin, the Marquis of Yue Ji did not dare to do anything to Lu Yin, but this time, Yue Wang Yunchang was dead, so he naturally did it.
Finally, after a week, the general fell ill from exhaustion, and Ou Yezi had to pick up the hammer again, however, his hands were trembling, and he could not hold my strength, and when the hammer fell when the iron was struck, it was almost impossible to forge weapons or armor.
Many blacksmiths in the city knew very well that it was impossible for the two remaining blacksmiths in the Lu Mansion to complete the amount of weapons and armor within a month, but none of them dared to stand up and chose to protect themselves.
Seeing that time passed day by day, Ou Yezi hoped to find some blacksmiths from the outside to come back, but basically, most of the blacksmiths were summoned to the border.
Time flies, half a month has passed, although the cadre is better, but he has not fully recovered, gritting his teeth every day, working in the blacksmith shop in full swing, Ou Yezi on the side, can not help anything.
"Senior brother, it was senior brother who hurt you, if I ......"
"Don't say it, senior brother, even if you have a good hand, with the two of us, you can't complete this huge amount of weapons and armor, that Jihou, it's clear, you want our lives."
Even the eight-year-old cadre has already understood this truth, Ou Yezi is desolate in his heart, he thought about running, but in their mansion, there are soldiers patrolling at any time, it seems that the marquis of Ji Ji has seen that they can't make a difference, and wants to kill them, and even the idea of them escaping in the end has been cut off.
At night, Ou Yezi was drinking alone, looking very melancholy, he looked at the cadres who were still striking iron, in his heart, even more uncomfortable, his junior brother, Lu Yin also said, is a genius who is different from him, he hopes very much, can see the future of the cadres, and the cadres together, can be the technology of iron-making, more perfect development.
But this scene, Ou Yezi felt, would never be seen.
"Senior brother, you can rest, I will smelt the materials before tomorrow morning."
Ou Yezi said something, but the cadre shook his head stubbornly.
"I believe what the master said, after a lot of tempering, four words, senior brother, maybe things will take a turn for the better."
Ou Yezi smiled, he likes cadres very much, his toughness is the same as himself, very strong, he does not admit defeat at all, from his face, there is a sense of arrogance.
"Kerr, why are you here?"
At this time, in the distance, it was Lu Ke, he was carrying some things to eat and drink, and after coming over, he looked in a hurry, and whispered a few words in Ou Yezi's ear, Ou Yezi's eyes widened, and then put down the things and let the cadres eat first.
When he came to the backyard, Ou Yezi was shocked, it was his uncle and aunt, and the thirty or forty people he had brought with him, each of them seemed to be very strong, they were blacksmiths.
"Uncle ......"
Ou Yezi choked, and immediately Ou Qin came over and covered Ou Yezi's mouth.
"Don't make a noise, there are still people outside, and we all came here secretly."
And Ou Yezi only recognized it at this time, many blacksmiths were in the city, most of them had received the favor of Lu Yin before, Ou Yezi raised his hands and bowed to them greatly.
It was close to dawn, and under deliberation, this number of blacksmiths could only start working after dark, and during the day, the people of the marquis would come from time to time.
After making up his mind, Ou Yezi took the blacksmiths to the blacksmith shop, and the cadres couldn't say anything surprised.
Then everyone began to get busy, and it was not until almost noon that they hurriedly packed up their things, went to Lu Yin's former residence, and hid.
Sure enough, as soon as noon came, the Marquis sent over, and they moved most of the built ones to the back of the kitchen and hid them.
The person who came, after urging the progress, left with a sneer, this secret must not be discovered by the people of the Hou Ji, otherwise he will definitely make it bad, only when the number is enough, on that day, the Hou Ji will definitely bring a lot of people, he will definitely be in public, saying that because Ou Yezi they did not complete the pardon, and then justifiably, kill them.
The people of the house, to the surrounding courtyard walls, watched, every move outside, these craftsmen, then came out again, during the day can only go very slowly, at night, although there will be a watch, but will not pay too much attention to the sound of tapping inside, whether it is different.
For several days and nights, the addition of these blacksmith doors had made more than half of the amount given to him complete, and the people of the Marquis of Ji had no doubts.
In this way, on the day when the amount of weapons and armor was handed over, the Marquis of Jiji really issued an edict to the people of the whole city, and their Lufu was the last blacksmith to surrender their weapons.
In the blacksmith shop, a large number of weapons and armor were piled up, and as soon as he entered, the face of the marquis was not very good-looking, and he gave one of his attendants a few slaps.
"Adults, small ones come every day, they only hoard a little bit, it shouldn't be enough."
Then the Hou Ji ordered people to start counting while moving, the number was not only enough, but also exceeded dozens of sets, at this moment, the face of the Hou Ji Ji couldn't hang up, he was angry and hateful, but he couldn't break out.
"Ou Yezi, this amount is enough, but I'm afraid you made it shoddy, if the weapon is broken, then Ben Hou will not be held responsible, come here."
Ji Jihou excused himself, he was afraid that there would be problems with the weapons and armor, so he still detained Ou Yezi's family and decided to wait until the war was over, besides, at this moment, Ou Yezi was angry, he knew very well that Ji Jihou was planning to kill them in a different way, once they were seized and put in prison, they would be charged with death at that time.
At this time, there were bursts of voices all around, and the blacksmiths in the city knelt on the ground one after another, making a sound begging for the marquis to be detained together.
At this moment, the Marquis of Ji Ji panicked, although now the ration of weapons and armor has been handed over, but then, there will be a second wave, a third wave, because the war has begun.
What is surprising is that Gou Jian turned out to be abnormal, not as cowardly as rumored, but led the Vietnamese army and fought back bravely.
"Lord Hou Ji, this mansion is our smelting city, the best blacksmith shop, if you question the existence of their weapons and armor, then, please put our big guys in prison, when it comes to casting technology, we are absolutely out of reach."
Hou Jiji was so angry that his face turned green, but because of this batch of weapons and armor, he needed to be escorted up immediately, but he was personally escorted up by Hou Jihou, so he had no choice but to let Ou Yezi and his family go.
"Ye'er, you saved it again, to your master."
At this time, Ou Yezi's uncle walked out of the crowd, looked at Ou Yezi, and said, while Ou Yezi looked around at the cheering blacksmiths, and tears couldn't help but overflow in his eyes.
