Chapter 171: Suspicion
Lu Chengting knew that his grandmother had always been strict with him and had high expectations of him since he was a child, because he was burdened with the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and his grandmother was worried that if he doted on him, he would become a gentleman who could not achieve anything.
Although his grandmother was not as close and easy-going to him as she was to his second and third brothers, he could understand it.
Xiao Jinyue married him, he guessed that maybe his grandmother would be a little unhappy with her background, but at most she was disappointed, and she wouldn't have any murderous intentions towards her.
Besides, my grandmother had always believed in Buddhism, and whenever my grandfather went on an expedition, she would live in Famen Temple to fast and pray for blessings. The grandmother also said that she prayed not only for her grandfather, but also for the innocent people who lost their lives in the fighting.
Although there is something wrong with things in Songhetang, such a grandmother with a heart for Buddha, no matter how much she dislikes her wife and is so disappointed in her, she should not think of killing her.
Lu Chengting went through the secret guard's report again, but he still didn't find anything to do with his appearance.
But Xiao Jinyue's expression and tone when she said that she suspected that he had picked him up did not seem like a joke, she must be suspicious of something, but he was very sure that he was the eldest son of his father and mother.
If he picked it up, how could he inherit the throne of the prince of the country.
Lu Chengting thought about it again and again, but he didn't expect that the soothing tea had anything to do with his appearance.
"You go to Songhe Hall again, try to find the residue of the soothing tea, and send it to Imperial Doctor Zheng to see what's wrong, remember not to alarm anyone."
"Yes."
Dong left his body in a flash and left Shi'an Garden.
Xiao Jinyue didn't know that Lu Chengting was suspicious of the soothing tea, she opened the wounds of the injured guards and secret guards and examined them, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and after eliminating the poison, she replaced them with new medicine and then bandaged them again.
These injured people are full of praise for Xiao Jinyue's medicine, although they don't know medical skills, but because they are often injured, they can still tell whether the medicine is good or not. The gold sore medicine given by the princess, as soon as they applied the wound, they began to stop the bleeding, and the effect was even better than the medicine in the hands of the imperial doctor.
There is a princess with superb medical skills, which means that their lives are also an extra guarantee, and everyone thinks that in the future, the status of the princess will be raised to be as important as the princess.
After treating the guard's wounds, after Xiao Jinyue came back, he began to give Lu Chengting acupuncture and massage.
"The tendons and veins in your legs are recovering well, and you will be able to stand up in about ten days and half a month."
The feeling of sitting and not being able to move every day is really uncomfortable, although Lu Chengting did not show it on his face, he was inevitably relieved when he heard this.
"I hope you don't reveal this matter yet, I still don't have a clue who is behind it."
"Don't worry, no one else will know about it but me."
After Xiao Jinyue finished acupuncture, she found a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and wrote down the improved weapon forging technique of her cousin in her previous life, and then took it to Lu Chengting.
Lu Chengting originally didn't pay attention to the sword forging technique she mentioned, and took the paper handed over by Xiao Jinyue, Originally, he just planned to take a casual look to pass the time, but he didn't expect that after only a few glances, his expression became solemn.
Although Xiao Jinyue gave him only a dozen thin pieces of paper, the sword forging techniques recorded on it were very detailed, from the melting and refining of iron, the removal of impurities, the number of folding and beating, the method of quenching, strength, carburizing method, the temperature of the furnace fire, etc., there are very detailed records.
Although he didn't know how to forge a sword, he could also see that the forging method that continued on it was not simple. If a master with forging skills is allowed to build it according to the above description, it may be that the level of the forged sword is higher than that forged by the Ordnance Bureau.
Lu Chengting studied these dozen pieces of paper several times, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and the more excited he became. As a general, he knew all too well the importance of weapons.
It's just that the efficiency of forging in the Ordnance Bureau is not high, the swords forged each time are limited, and the forged weapons are scrambling for the generals of the court every time.
The high-ranking generals are better, and the weapons in their hands are still complete and sharp, but those soldiers at the bottom are rarely able to get the newly forged swords of the Ordnance Bureau.
They can almost only get the swords they have eliminated from the hands of the higher-ranking generals. If you are lucky, you can get a complete handful, and if you are unlucky, it is not uncommon for you to have a gap in the weapon in your hand.
Moreover, the swords created by the Ordnance Bureau, not every batch of quality is good, sometimes the sword in hand looks very sharp, but the hardness is not enough, a battle is fought, the sword in the hand has large and small gaps, and some of them directly cut off the entire knife without a few cuts.
If the forging technique given by Xiao Jinyue is really feasible, doesn't that mean that every person under him can have a good weapon?
The more Lu Chengting thought about it, the more excited he became, and hurriedly summoned a secret guard and handed him the paper in his hand, "Take this forging technique and quietly give it to Tie Da, and let him build a long sword according to the method recorded above." In addition, at night, he sent someone to the scrap iron discarded by the Military Weapons Bureau, and transported some of it back to Tieda, so that he could try to refine the scrap iron recorded above, whether it was feasible. ”
Tie Da was a swordsmith he rescued in his early years, and his skills were no worse than those of the Armory Bureau, and he would sometimes help him repair some broken swords.
The imperial court forbade generals to build weapons privately, and judging from his poisoning in the army and his grandfather's accident at the border pass, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Since he was a child, his grandfather taught him to be loyal to the emperor and the court, although he did not have the heart to rebel, but now he ...... He had a thought in his mind - he didn't want to be a fish to be slaughtered on someone else's sticky board anymore.
The dark guard took the papers from Lu Chengting's hand, glanced at the words on them, and immediately became excited in his heart.
"Lord Shizi, this, this ......"
Lu Chengting could understand the excitement of the dark guard, after all, he had already begun to look forward to the effect now.
"Don't make a noise, let Tie Da build it quietly, and when the long sword is forged, bring it to me."
"Yes, my subordinates will go right away."
Xiao Jinyue didn't know that Lu Chengting had let people build a long sword according to the forging technique she gave so quickly, she gave Lu Chengting acupuncture and massage, and then went to eat and wash.
After a busy day, she was too tired to do anything, and when she returned to the dormitory after washing, she saw Chi Yan lying on the big bed waiting for her.
"Girl, girl, they bullied you, and I set fire to their house, can't I get angry?"
As soon as Chi Yan saw her, he immediately chirped.
Xiao Jinyue's eyes widened, glanced at the room inside, and asked Chi Yan quietly, "You set the fire in the ancestral hall?" ”
Chi Yan held his head high and said triumphantly, "That's right, I burned it." Hmph, they're so bad, if they bully you next time, I'll steal all their treasures and give them all to you. ”
Xiao Jinyue was powerless to support her forehead, but she didn't expect this little guy to set fire to the ancestral hall in order to help her get angry.
