In this time and space, the smelting technology is not very high, and the basic armament is iron, and in the recipe that Luo Qingluan handed over to Nangong Yu, he finally smelted pig iron into fine steel on a large scale, both in terms of success rate and operation, it is much more streamlined than the original hammer beating, and it is far more than the original pig iron dozens of times stronger than the original, greatly improving the flexibility and hardness.

As for creating an artifact like a cadre, it can only be circulated in legends, at least Luo Qingluan has never heard of a craftsman so powerful that he can create such a hair-picking divine weapon in batches. Not to mention the batch, even if it can succeed once or twice, I am afraid that he was also recruited into the palace by Emperor Xichu to create an exclusive sword for him.

However, since there is a legend, Luo Qingluan believes that there are still such capable people, even if there is an exaggeration, but there are still some real skills. But since she didn't run into it, she had to rely on herself. In this plane, all kinds of technology are low and backward, and the types of ore needed are even less, so she can only try her best.

Alloy steel is the result of what she wants to refine, but what kind of elements should be mixed into the refined steel, such as silicon, manganese, tungsten, vanadium, aluminum, copper, boron, rare earths, etc., depends on the materials prepared by Nangong Yu. These are not surplus minerals such as iron ore and gold ore, and many may not even be found at all, which further limits the results of alloy steel.

But now it's still the first step, first forging the steel. It is not difficult to turn pig iron into steel, it is only a matter of time.

Soon, Chen Si and Liu Mu began to move, the furnace fire was boiling, the flames were raging, and with the tinkling sound of striking iron, Luo Qingluan could feel a heat wave coming from afar, as if he was in the middle of a hot summer again.

"Princess Chu, it's so hot around here, why don't you wait for the forging to be done, how about the contemptible people invite you over again?" Although it was already autumn and the weather was cool, Wei Zhong himself was sweating hot, and he was even more worried that Luo Qingluan would not be able to stand it as a woman. If he faints in the heat and suffers from heat stroke, where will he bear this responsibility?

Fortunately, as soon as these words were finished, Nangong Yu and Nalan Ye came.

Seeing that Luo Qingluan had stayed in this forge, which had not yet been built, both of them felt rare. I thought she would just take a look, but I didn't expect that not only did she not leave, but she also let people open the furnace, could it be that she was interested in this and wanted to create something out?

"Qingluan, why did you come here, don't you feel hot?" Nalan Ye pulled her and walked a few steps away, and the maid who was waiting next to her hurriedly came over with a chair.

Nangong Yu was also curious, looking at the busy and hot appearance in front of him, he also asked the housekeeper Wei Zhong what kind of reputation he was doing. Wei Zhong was about to answer, but Luo Qingluan immediately interrupted him: "It's nothing, it's just playing." Nangong Yu, how about you two craftsmen borrow me for a few days, I will test their skills. ”

She said it lightly, as if she was bored and playing, she just didn't want Nalan Ye to know. This is her intention, if she said it in advance and didn't succeed in the end, why disappoint him? Even if he wasn't disappointed, she had a lot of regrets, so she simply didn't say anything.

"Hehe, Princess Chu is still interested in this." Nangong Yu didn't think deeply at all, and opened his mouth to agree: "You can use the people in my mansion as you like, and you can just speak directly as you want." ”

He laughed as he spoke: "You have a forty percent profit in my business, why are you telling me this." ”

Luo Qingluan smiled: "Okay, I'm not welcome." ”

didn't want Luo Qingluan to suffer in this hot place, so Nalan Ye immediately took her away. Before leaving, Luo Qingluan only asked Chen Si and Liu Mu to forge the steel first, and then just inform her.

Seeing that she was so concerned, Nalan Ye asked her what she was going to do. According to what she knew about Luo Qingluan, at least Nalan Ye had never seen her interested in such a thing as forging, and she was also a little curious. But how could Luo Qingluan say it, naturally he was fooling the past casually.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Luo Qingluan asked him what happened just now: "How did you discuss it with Nangong Yu, the matter of grain and grass has been settled?" ”

"Well, fortunately, I prepared early, otherwise I would suddenly have to take out hundreds of thousands of stones of grain here, which is really not easy." Nalan Ye said something simply, for Luo Qingluan, he naturally would not hide it, and knew that he was going to go on an expedition, worried that she was thinking nonsense at home alone, and the key point was that he believed it very much, that is, he hoped that she would relax.

The carriage rolled forward, the carriage shook slightly, and Nalan Ye hugged her softly and said, "It's all arranged, you should rest assured now." ”

If you don't feel at ease, how can you be at ease? It's not a god, and it's never 100% sure on the battlefield. Luo Qingluan just couldn't say it, she leaned on Nalan Ye's shoulder, and didn't show any emotion: "It's good that you decide, you are better than me in this regard, I naturally believe in you." ”

Feeling the wholeheartedness of her woman, Nalan Ye suddenly swelled up with tenderness and kissed her forehead lightly. The days with her were numbered, and although he expected the war to end in a year at most, the thought of being away from her for so long, no matter how restrained he was, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

If he left, she would miss him, and neither would he. However, in order to completely solve the scourge and avenge her, he will endure it no matter what. When he returned, everything was too peaceful, and nothing could be done to separate them.

Nalan Ye's reluctance revealed a little bit, and he couldn't hide his worries, Luo Qingluan was funny in her heart, but her face didn't show anything at all, and she seemed to have some hatred, who asked him not to agree with her to follow? If she hadn't gone to Nangong Qing and agreed, I'm afraid that the two would still be about to separate.

When the time comes, she suddenly appears in front of him, just afraid that she will startle him, right?

Thinking that this scene was fun, Luo Qingluan didn't say a word, hung his head slightly, and had a sly smile on his lips.

When the war is approaching, everything has to be arranged, and it must be kept secret, and only key people can participate in it and make plans. Nalan Ye thought that he had really appeased Luo Qingluan, and he was relieved to handle official business. Luo Qingluan was busy running the Lin Wangfu every day, and when she came back, she only told Nalan Ye that she was bored and looked for trouble, she hid it well, and Nalan Ye didn't suspect it at all.

Both of them were busy preparing for the upcoming war, but they didn't notice that some people were not used to seeing the happiness of others, and they were jealous and always wanted to come out early and stir up a pool of water.

Since Nangong Wan'er was injured last time, Nangong Qing knew about it and immediately went to see her. Nangong Wan'er sued on the spot, adding fuel and vinegar to say that Luo Qingluan was a bully, and also said that Nalan seriously injured her on the street regardless of her identity, crying with tears and tears, and pear blossoms with rain.

If it was someone else, Nangong Qing would be absolutely furious, someone would dare to reward the eldest princess, and he would not be arrested and imprisoned immediately? But he heard that it was Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye, and he knew Nangong Wan'er's temperament to some extent, even if he didn't ask the two, he knew that his sister must not give up on Nalan Ye, which offended him.

One side is a beloved sister, and the other side is a trusted confidant, Nangong Qing is very embarrassed. The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, no matter which party is unhappy, he doesn't want to see it. Especially recently, the relationship with Su Yi has become better and better, and he is also grateful to Luo Qingluan, if it wasn't for her waking him up three times, maybe he still didn't understand.

As an emperor, he also has seven emotions and six desires, and the origin is that the height is unbearable, and the emperor is more so. can get a person who is sincere to himself, doesn't care about his identity, and only loves him as a person, how can Nangong Qing not cherish it?

Seeing Luo Qingluan and Nalan Yeqin Se and Ming, Nangong Qing was also sincerely happy, some things were good to see, and it was another feeling. will no longer envy others, he should be carefully cared for himself.

Similarly, for his closest sister Nangong Wan'er, Nangong Qing is also very concerned. Sometimes when I go to see the Queen Mother, I also mention her family affairs, knowing that there are many princes and princes who have been pursuing her recently, and I hope that she can have a heart as soon as possible.

When Nangong Wan'er sued and was seriously injured because of this, Nangong Qing understood her thoughts.

"Wan'er, Nalan Ye has already married, as the eldest princess, don't say that you can't marry him as a side concubine, even if you are willing, the imperial brother agrees, but Nalan Ye will not marry you." At that time, Nangong Qing's tone was a little sharp: "Brother Huang advises you to die as soon as possible, don't annoy Nalan Ye at that time, it won't even help me save face." ”

Unexpectedly, instead of helping her, the imperial brother didn't even say a word of comfort, Nangong Wan'er felt pain in her body, and her heart was even more hateful. She was reluctant to blame Nalan Ye, let alone her imperial brother, so she naturally aimed all her hatred at Luo Qingluan.

She is the proud daughter of the sky, why can't she compare to the daughter of a general?

This palm injury was very serious, the imperial doctor said, it would take at least three months to recuperate before she could barely get out of bed, lying on the bed, Nangong Wan'er had to lose her temper countless times a day, and the maids and subordinates of the princess's mansion who were tossed complained bitterly one by one.

For five whole days, Nangong Wan'er listened to the news about Luo Qingluan collected by her subordinates every day, and gritted her teeth with hatred while listening, "This damn woman knows how to please the imperial brother...... That woman is too, she is not worthy of the imperial brother at all, if it weren't for Luo Qingluan, why did she become the queen? ”

Wei Chi Lianqing, who came to see her, observed her words and looked at her words, and deliberately followed her words: "What the princess said is that the queen's mother's family is weak now, and she can't help Her Majesty at all...... Alas, Your Majesty is also too kind to bear it. ”

When it comes to everything related to Luo Qingluan, Nangong Wan'er is belly is on fire, she just wanted to clench her fists angrily, but she didn't expect that the pain in her chest would be affected by the force, and she almost burst into tears when she was in pain: "Alas...... It hurts to death! ”

"Princess, you must be careful, the imperial doctor said that you can't be excited, don't be angry." Yu Chi Lianqing hurriedly looked concerned and asked her to lie down and rest.

The imperial doctor has examined it, Nangong Wan'er's injury is not light or serious, although the pain is severe, but it does not hurt the vital point, that is, the lower abdomen was slapped and suffered internal injuries, but the bones are fine. It's just that you have to rest for three months to recover slowly. He also prescribed her some medicines to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and nourished a lot.

It was easy to serve Nangong Wan'er and lay down again, and Yu Chi Lianqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Princess, don't think so much, now that Luo Qingluan and King Chu have such a good relationship, even if they are princesses, I am afraid that they will not be able to insert it." Have you forgotten, didn't Princess Xiao Ningyu, the Duanrou princess of Dongwan, also fall in love with the King of Chu, and she was still the first beauty in the Four Kingdoms, but what about the King of Chu...... Didn't even look at it. ”

Her face was pale, and she didn't dare to speak loudly anymore, but the anger in Nangong Wan'er's heart was not only gone, but even more depressed: "This woman, I'm afraid that she is the reincarnation of the fox spirit, otherwise the King of Chu doesn't care about anything." ”

"I'm afraid that what the princess said is that this Luo Qingluan looks like that, everyone has always thought she is an ugly, but I didn't expect her to be pretending, you can imagine how cunning she is. Her face looks beautiful, but I feel that she is seductive, and the beauty is a little foxy, otherwise why did she even seduce her brother-in-law in the first place? ”
