Xiang Zhuang has taken over the Lu craftsman shop for half a month, the development of the bellows, the progress is slow, the difficulty is very great, Xiang Zhuang has been here for five days and five nights, although there is a small progress, but if you want to officially use, you still need to improve some details.

It can be said that the bellows are affected by the technology of the times, and the main structure inside can only be enriched with leather lobes, but the expected effect should not deviate too much.

But in this era, if you want to make steel, how difficult it is, the so-called 100 refining into steel, want to mass production, I am afraid that in front of you, you can only smelt iron ore into cast iron, which is already the limit, but fortunately, Xiang Zhuang knows that there are some famous sword refining masters in Huiji County, how to match high-quality cast iron or refine iron with moderate proportion, hardness and toughness, all need a process, these are not to be considered in front of you.

At this time, Xiang Zhuang left the craftsman shop and looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, there were few people on the street, perhaps, people were extremely busy today.

Walking in the street, Xiang Zhuang unconsciously flashed the figures of Cao Feng and Kong Xiuyun in his mind, when he was busy these days, he could still leave these complicated emotional disputes behind, but as soon as he came out, he couldn't help but fall into this matter, how to solve the emotional crisis in front of him?

Cao Feng is a kind girl, her mind is very simple, Xiang Zhuang really doesn't want to hurt her, but if this matter is not resolved, it will always be like a mountain in Xiang Zhuang's heart, making him breathless, thinking so, Xiang Zhuang's pace slowed down, and he lowered his head and fell into contemplation.

is to tell Cao Feng that he already has another woman outside, and after catching the hydrangea unexpectedly, he also has a marriage contract with others, and he can't let them down, but what should Cao Feng do? A few years ago, he knew Cao Feng's thoughts, could he live up to Cao Feng? Xiang Zhuang felt that he couldn't be so selfish.

You can also quietly put an end to the correspondence with the Kong family, since Xianyang and his party, Xiang Zhuang has never been in contact with the Kong family, perhaps, they have long forgotten this marriage contract, or, they saw that they had not returned for a long time, and chose another son-in-law!

I don't know why, there are such absurd thoughts in my head, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing in his heart, if she avoided the important and gave up Kong Xiuyun, not only would she ruin her life, but she would live in anxiety and guilt in this life, especially when Xiang Zhuang found that he had fallen in love with Kong Xiuyun, and fell in love with Kong Xiuyun who could play the piano, write, and sing, and he couldn't extricate himself, and this string of nonsense ideas was also erased from Xiang Zhuang's mind.

An army rushed forward, chaotic footsteps dragged Xiang Zhuang from the cranky wake, Xiang Zhuang only then found that he was not far from home, at this time, he looked up, this army of about 500 people, the team is neat, running forward, they are dressed in gray and black cloth armor, in front, three people on horseback galloped to Xiang Zhuang, almost to the front, Xiang Zhuang recognized, the person who came was Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu dismounted in front of Xiang Zhuang, pointed to the two people beside him and said with a smile: "These are my two tun chiefs." ”

The two of them gave Xiang Zhuang an arch, and Xiang Zhuang also returned the salute, at this time, Xiang Yu pointed at Xiang Zhuang and smiled: "This is my younger brother, Lu Zhuang." ”

After everyone saluted each other, Xiang Zhuang saw that Xiang Yu had become a military marquis, and the whole person had a lot of spirit, wearing a black leather armor on Xiang Yu's body, which was more domineering, but at this time, the militia was slightly inferior, not only their equipment, but also their overall quality, which was not as good as the regular army, and it was not to blame Xiang Yu, after all, the militia that had just been recruited was born as a farmer, and it still needed more rigorous training to meet the requirements.

Moreover, these armies are Yin Tong's private army on the surface, and they are his private property, but behind the scenes, these armies can be called the Xiang family army, if Yin Tong knows that his army has secretly turned his back on him, I don't know how he will feel? Just when Xiang Zhuang was thinking about it again in his heart, Xiang Yu on the side sent two tun commanders to pull the army back to the barracks, but he did not leave.

Soon, Xiang Yu laughed softly: "Zhuang'er, it feels so good to lead the troops, it's better than looking at the iron shop with hundreds of sets, it's better to ...... Come to me too, let's lead the troops together and build an iron-blooded army. ”

Xiang Zhuang shook his head and smiled: "Thank you brother for your kindness, I have no interest in leading soldiers." ”

After speaking, Xiang Zhuang wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Xiang Yu grabbed Xiang Zhuang by the hand, Xiang Yu stared at Xiang Zhuang for a moment and asked, "You seem to have something on your mind these days." ”

"Nothing." Xiang Zhuang shook his hand and smiled, but Xiang Yu didn't believe it, and pulled Xiang Zhuang to continue to ask: "We have always talked about everything, let's talk quickly, what's wrong with you these days?" ”

Asked by Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang had to sigh lightly, he sorted out his words in his mind, and then asked: "Brother, if there are two women who fall in love with you at the same time, and one of them has already promised you, and the other is forced to propose marriage to you because of family problems and wants to marry you, how will you choose?" ”

Xiang Yu stared at his younger brother for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "This kind of problem is too easy to handle, you can stay with both women." ”

"......" looked at Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang sighed helplessly, he didn't expect Xiang Yu to answer such an irresponsible answer, so he had to smile and say: "Forget it, I have to go back and talk to my uncle about something, brother, go get busy." ”

Saying goodbye to Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang hurriedly went to Lu Fu.

。。。。。。

Xiang Zhuang returned to Lu Mansion, and a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Xiang Zhuang! Are you deliberately avoiding me these days? ”

Xiang Zhuang looked back, Cao Feng came from the side courtyard, she was aggressive, her eyes were slightly red, it seemed that she had cried just now, at this time Cao Feng came to Xiang Zhuang, pointed at Xiang Zhuang angrily, and said angrily: "Do you marry me or not?" ”

Xiang Zhuang was questioned by Cao Feng, he stood in place in a daze, at a loss, time seemed to have stopped, Cao Feng also glared at Xiang Zhuang at this time, the two were deadlocked in the front yard of Lu Mansion, I don't know how long it took, Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, took Cao Feng's hand, and walked towards the side courtyard.

Cao Feng is very reluctant to Xiang Zhuang continue to avoid this, this matter, there must be a decision, the night before yesterday, his father proposed that he had negotiated with the Wang family, a big family in Wu County, and wanted to marry Cao Feng to Wang Feiyun, the son of the royal family, Cao Feng also quarreled with his father because of this, but the quarrel could not solve the problem, nor could it change his father's decision, Cao Feng knew that the problem was still Xiang Zhuang, he was deliberately avoiding the problem.

Coming to the side courtyard, Cao Feng broke away from Xiang Zhuang's hand, the two fought against each other, looking at Cao Feng's extremely dissatisfied eyes, Xiang Zhuang could only make up his mind and tell her everything, at this time Xiang Zhuang took a deep breath, sorted out his words in his heart, and said it lightly if he wanted to avoid the serious.

Soon, Xiang Zhuang said slowly: "On that trip, I got acquainted with Zhang Budo and went to Suiyang with him, and on the streets of Suiyang, the Confucian family held a hydrangea to recruit relatives, and I ......"

Cao Feng seemed to have a premonition, she seemed to guess what Xiang Zhuang would say next, but she still didn't want to believe it, she looked at Xiang Zhuang intently, quietly waiting for Xiang Zhuang's words, and Xiang Zhuang said without hesitation: "I...... has already married Kong Xiuyun, the daughter of the Kong family! ”

"Oh my God...... Settled! Cao Feng didn't seem to be able to accept the reality, she took two steps back, shook her head and smiled bitterly, she was still stupidly waiting for Xiang Zhuang, still stupidly expecting that Xiang Zhuang could say that Xiang Liang would be able to propose marriage to her father!

She even stupidly thought that Xiang Zhuang would always be the same Xiang Zhuang brother she used to be, and Xiang Zhuang brother who played with her since she was a child and grew up, and was a childhood sweetheart.

It seems that his own world has collapsed, and it seems that he has become a small boat without direction and sails, drifting alone and helplessly in the lake, with no other shore......

The next second, you'll never know where you are!

Cao Feng squatted down in pain, her eyes were wet with tears, everything in front of her was always blurry, she really couldn't accept the reality, the pain tortured Cao Feng's heart, she got up helplessly, and ran outside the Lu Mansion, Xiang Zhuang was afraid that Cao Feng would run around again, and chased after him tightly.

But just ran out of the Lu Mansion, Cao Feng had already ridden the horse and ran towards the street, looking at her back gradually moving away, Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, she still couldn't accept all this in the end, but she couldn't blame her, if anyone changed, I am afraid that she would not be able to calm down.

Xiang Zhuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really couldn't do anything about it, this matter, he couldn't be in a hurry, he had to let Ji Bu find Cao Feng and bring her back, otherwise, she ran away so unscrupulously, and I don't know which cottage king would be arrested!

With heavy steps, Xiang Zhuang turned around and walked towards the house, but at this moment, an old man's hoarse voice sounded at the door: "The dragon follows the clouds, the tiger follows the wind, the wind and clouds suddenly change and the dragon and the tiger fight for ......."

After Xiang Zhuang listened, he turned around and looked, an old man in an ochre robe walked slowly, his clothes were old, his hair and beard were half white, the old wrinkles were lying on his face, and he was holding a shabby float in his hand. ”

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the old man, Xiang Zhuang took out a few and a half taels from his arms and said with a smile: "I have a few copper plates here, uncle, go and buy some food yourself." ”

"All I need is a bite to eat." The old man gave his hand again, and Xiang Zhuang had to turn around and instruct the family: "Go and get some dry food for the old man." ”

At this time, the old man looked at Xiang Zhuang and couldn't help laughing: "The dragon is from the clouds, the tiger is from the wind, and the wind and clouds suddenly change and the dragon and the tiger fight!" ”

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised, the old man had already said this sentence just now, at this time, he looked at himself and said it again, it seemed that it was intended for himself, so he couldn't help but step forward and said with a smile: "Uncle, does this sentence have any deep meaning?" ”

The old man couldn't help but shake his hand and smiled: "The old man has traveled all over the world, wandering all his life, and there are countless fearful people, but so far, I have only seen two people with noble appearances, one is the son of you, and the other is ......."

The old man smiled, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised, listening to his words, he seemed to know something, and wanted to ask, but the old man smiled and said: "Another person lives in Fengxiang, his name is Liu Bang." ”

"Liu Bang!" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised, the old man actually knew Liu Bang, just when Xiang Zhuang wanted to ask deeply, the family had already taken out a few potatoes and steamed buns, handed them to the old man, the old man took it and shook his hands, it was a thanks, and he looked at Xiang Zhuang a few times, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiang Zhuang was puzzled by the old man, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, you haven't answered me yet?" ”

The old man shook his hand, and said with a smile: "The dragon is from the clouds, the tiger is from the wind, the wind and clouds suddenly change and the dragon and the tiger fight for the ......, the old man is called Xu Cheng, if he is destined for the future, we will see each other again......" As soon as the words fell, the old man had gradually gone away, looking at the back of the old man, Xiang Zhuang repeatedly chewed the old man's words: 'The dragon from the clouds, the tiger from the wind, the wind and clouds suddenly changed and the dragon and the tiger fight' This sentence seems to indicate something, but why did the old man add himself to it?
