In Bei'an, a remote barren mountain, there is a simple courtyard on the top of this mountain.

At this time, there was a young man sitting in the courtyard boredly in the courtyard, this young man was sturdy, sunny and refreshing, and his eyes were bright, especially energetic.

At this time, he held his cheek in one hand and held four flying knives in the other hand, and he threw them out without even looking at them.

The flying knives seemed to be conscious, and flew towards the four giant trees that were a hundred meters away from the courtyard, and even the darkness could not stop the progress of the four flying knives, and finally they were firmly rooted in the marks that had been made on the trunks of the trees, and they were exactly the same.

The young man didn't look at the throwing knife, but turned his head to look at the room on the left, where the fire was flickering, and the chimney on the roof was still emitting smoke, and there was a sound of striking iron coming from inside, which rang for a while and then stopped.

"Boom la la ......"

This is the sound of watering for the shape when striking iron.

There was a murmuring in the room, and the people in the room seemed to be dissatisfied with the object they had just created.

"Bang."

The freshly built objects were discarded to the 'seniors'.

The young man sighed and turned to look at the room to the right.

There was no sound coming from the room, but there was a pungent smell from it, like saltpeter and stone sulfur.

The young man stood up, looked left and right, and finally walked into the room on the left.

There was a huge stove in the room, and there was a bellows on the side, and in addition to these things, the room was filled with iron ingots that were used as raw materials for striking iron, and weapons that had been laid all over the ground.

There was a strong-looking man in the room, who was shirtless, showing off his muscles.

He was concentrating on selecting new materials from a large pile of iron ingots, ready to start a new round of forging.

He didn't even notice the young man coming in, and continued to choose the iron ingot himself.

"Blacksmith Hu, it's almost done, when is this coming, and the iron is still struck, and the time is almost over." The young man picked a huge iron ingot and sat down.

Blacksmith Hu noticed that someone had come in, and smiled innocently, "Jicun, it's okay, I'm not tired." ”

Ji Cun scratched his hair irritably, "Who cares if you're tired or not, today is your dinner, and if you don't cook, I'll starve to death." ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot, don't worry, I'm going to cook." Blacksmith Hu patted his head, and countless iron filings fell from his hair.

Seeing this scene, Ji Cun covered his face and shook his head, "Come on, don't go, I'll go cook, I don't want to eat iron." ”

"What kind of sin have I done, why did the young master put me and the two of you together? As soon as you cook, there are iron filings in the food, and dust feathers go to cook, and there is saltpeter in the food, do you two want to eat me to death? Ji Cun walked out of the room in a depressed manner.

Blacksmith Hu also ran out, "I'm sorry, I'll wash up and cook for you tomorrow." ”

How many times have you said this? I forget the time every day, and the bastard of Dust Feather can't be called. "I tied my apron very skillfully and walked into the room.

"I'll help you."

"You go out, go up and wait outside, don't bring the iron filings in." Ji Cun pushed Blacksmith Hu out in disgust.

Blacksmith Hu smirked and sat in the courtyard waiting.

It didn't take long for a burst of aroma to come from the room.

"It's done, go call Dust Feather." Ji Cun walked out with his meal.

"Dust feathers, dust feathers, eat, eat!" Blacksmith Hu shouted at the door of Dust Feather.

But there was no movement in there.

"If you can call him out, I'll take your surname, go in and drag him out." Inch commanded.

"Oh, got it." Blacksmith Hu rushed into the room and pulled out the dust feathers with messy hair and a pungent smell on his body.

The dust feather that was pulled out was still struggling violently, and his mouth shouted, "Don't drag me, I'll study it out right away!" ”

"Come on, you say this every day when you eat." Ji Cun took the last dish back to the stone table in the courtyard.

"It's real this time, I'll figure it out right away!" Dust Feather yelled.

Ji Cun sighed helplessly, "I really don't understand what the young master means by putting me in the two of you, I don't know how to strike iron and don't know what alchemy is, I will fly knives with one hand and shoot with the other, and I don't have anything to do with the two of you." ”

"Don't question the young master! The young master must have a deep meaning in doing this! Hearing Ji Cun's question, Dust Feather jumped out and glared at Ji Cun.

"Who questioned the young master, I just don't understand the young master's intentions." Ji Cun handed the chopsticks to the two of them.

Dust Feather snorted, then ......

I took the chopsticks, took the bowl and began to eat.

The two of them came here together, and of course he knew that Ji Cun was just complaining, not really complaining about Jiang Sun Che.

"How's your stuff going?" Ji Cun asked while eating.

"The iron pipe that the young master asked me to make, I can't make it standard, it's always a little worse." Blacksmith Hu said with a frown.

"Hehe, my gunpowder is about to be researched anyway." Dust Feather said very confidently.

"Oh, that means it's going to be a long, long time before this gunpowder can be made." Count the inches and pick up a piece of green bamboo shoots.

"You!" Dust Feather was pierced and glared angrily.

In fact, he is just pretending, and he is still far from making real gunpowder.

But this was the first time he had taken on such an important task, so he didn't want people to think he was slow.

"I said, can't we find more people to study that gunpowder together?" Ji Cun asked.

Dust Yuzi still wants to hold on, but after thinking about it, it's still important to get down to business, this is not the time to pretend to be face, "Alas, don't you want to do it with me?" But this thing is too important, the young master said, if this gunpowder can be studied, it can instantly change the general trend of the world.

It must be studied by someone who is absolutely trustworthy, and no outsider can know the formula. ”

"Is this really that godly? I've never heard of such a thing, where did the young master get the formula? Ji Cun said with a frown.

"You're questioning the young master again!" Dust Feather's chopsticks pointed at Ji Cun's face.

Ever since Jiang Sun Che asked him to join Ten and gave him such an important task, he was full of reverence for Jiang Sun Che.

Because Jiang Sunche gave him a life-changing opportunity.

"I'm not questioning the young master, I'm just worried, do you know how much money you've spent lately? The young master gave us a total of 630,000 taels, and we alone got 300,000 taels, but during this time, the two of you have already spent 30,000 taels to buy materials.

It's only been half a month, you've spent 30,000 taels, and you don't know what you're going to study, what if you still can't get something out of the money after all the money is spent? It's a trivial matter if the money is spent, but what if we delay the development of the young master? Ji Cun said wistfully.

As soon as he said this, Blacksmith Hu and Dust Feather were also silent.
