Suddenly, Zhu Di remembered something and looked up at Zhu Liang on the side.

"Zhu Liang!"

"The last general!"

Zhu Liang hurriedly replied and looked at Zhu Di with a happy face.

"Draw the knife, try the steel knife in the hand of this king!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Liang was stunned, he thought that Zhu Di was going to give him the sharp blade, but he didn't expect to use his portable knife to test the knife.

"Draw your sword!"

Zhu Di didn't think about it so much, and took the lead in raising the steel knife in his hand and looked at Zhu Liang.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Zhu Liang felt bitter in his heart, but he could only helplessly pull out the matching knife.

"Kill!"

Zhu Di roared angrily and swung his knife directly.

Zhu Di's martial arts are strong, Zhu Liang is not weak, his arms are bruised, and he also swings the steel knife fiercely.

"Zheng ......"

After a loud bang, a severed blade was left on the ground.

Seeing this, everyone opened their mouths wide, and there was silence around them.

As Zhu Di's personal guard of hundreds of households, although Zhu Liang's knife is not a magic weapon, it is also a first-class treasure knife in the Ming army.

And now, it was directly cut off by a shoddy steel knife?

Of course, it is also possible that it will be broken, but this also makes everyone incredulous.

After Zhu Di came back to his senses, he hurriedly put the steel knife in his hand in front of him and searched carefully. As a result, after searching for a long time, I only found a small gap that was only the size of a grain of rice, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"A good knife, a good steel knife, stronger and sharper than a hundred steel knives......"

On the side, Zhu Liang had a bitter face, looking at the steel knife in his hand that had been broken in two, with a face full of disbelief.

"Your Highness, my knife is broken!"

Zhu Di's whole mind was on the steel knife in his hand, and he was a little impatient with Zhu Liang's shouting, "If it's broken, it's broken!" ”

Zhu Liang: "......"

Guo An said: "Zhu Baihu rest assured, I will ask Steward Zhong to forge another steel knife for you later!" Well, it must be carefully forged! ”

Zhu Liang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Zhu Di: "Your Highness......"

"This king is approved!"

Zhu Di also put down the steel knife in his hand and looked at the broken knife in Zhu Liang's hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The corners of Zhu Liang's mouth suddenly grinned under his ears.

Seeing this, Li Wang on the side couldn't help but rub his hands on the matching knife with some excitement, and at the same time asked Zhu Di for instructions, "Your Highness, just testing a knife is not enough to show the sharpness of this knife, and the last general is also willing to try it with His Highness!" ”

"You?"

Zhu Di glanced at Li Wang a little speechlessly, "You also want to change to a steel knife of this material?" ”

"Your Highness is wise."

Li Wang hurriedly replied.

"Accurate!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Wang was overjoyed.

Zhu Di looked directly at Zhong Huo on the side and asked, "Is the steel of this kind of steel knife enough?" ”

Zhong Huo hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, there are now three pieces of steel smelted from the iron-making furnace, all of which are of this kind of steel, which is completely sufficient. ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, first forge three of these steel knives for this king, and this king will go back and bring them." In addition, the remaining steel will be forged for the king to make a hundred steel swords. ”

"The villain obeys!"

Zhong Huo couldn't wait to answer.

He felt that his fortune had come. Even, the craftsmen of their entire iron smelting plant also came.

This Guo Xianzun is really a noble person of these craftsmen.

Hearing this, Guo An inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

"Your Highness, it will take at least half an hour to create three steel knives. Now it's not early today, why don't I go back first and come back early tomorrow morning? ”

When the words fell, Guo An couldn't help but be surprised, Zhu Di was looking at him with a strange expression.

"The molten iron smelted in the giant iron-making furnace is also this kind of molten iron?"

Guo An subconsciously replied: "Back to Your Highness, if the prediction of Xiaguan and the others is correct, the molten iron in the giant iron-making furnace should be better than the molten iron used in the steel knife in His Highness's hand?" ”

Zhu Di's face was happy, and his eyes flashed with excitement, "In this way, the steel knife forged by molten iron in that giant iron-making furnace is even more than this one in the king's hand?" ”

Guo Anxin sank, and he always felt that he had said the wrong thing.

However, this will only continue to reply: "Your Highness, it should be so!" ”

"Good! Very good! ”

Zhu Di directly turned his head to look at Li Wang on the side, "Li Wang, lead a team of soldiers to go back first, and inform the princess that this king still has important matters to deal with in the iron smelting station, so I will temporarily stay in the iron smelting station for one night today, and go back early tomorrow morning!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of Zhu Fu and Guo An changed instantly.

"Your Highness, by all means!"

"Exactly, Your Highness, the environment of the Iron Smelting House is so dilapidated, and there are not even many guards, it is not a good place to live. Why don't you go back first, and come back early tomorrow morning, and let the giant iron-making furnace burn until tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hmph, this king's will has been decided, and you will have to persuade him later."

Zhu Di's face sank, "If you want to go back, you will go back with Li Wang, and this king will never stop or blame!" ”

Seeing this, Guo An, Zhu Fu and others couldn't help but look at each other.

Guo An hurriedly said, "Since His Royal Highness won't go back, His Majesty will definitely not be able to go back!" ”

Zhu Fu also hurriedly said: "Your Highness is here, and Weichen will never go back." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Seeing that no one persuaded Zhu Di again, Li Wang sighed helplessly, bowed respectfully to Zhu Di, and walked out.

As for his Royal Highness's overnight stay at the Iron Smelting Institute, Li Wang was not worried at all.

"Your Highness, I wonder if the villain still needs to forge steel knives?"

On the side, Zhong Huo asked in a low voice.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "No need, this king wants to use the molten iron in the giant iron-making furnace to forge a steel knife!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhong Huo hurriedly responded.

Then, quietly waited on the side.

As for Zhu Di, he seemed to be a little unhappy, waved the steel knife in his hand again, and after cutting down more than ten stumps in a row, he exhaled lightly and walked towards the rest hall.

Entering the lobby, Guo An sat on a rough chair, and his whole body was paralyzed on the chair, not wanting to move.

Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but mock with disgust on his face: "How can a good man, how can his body be so crippled?" ”

Guo An didn't have the slightest sense of shame, and said slowly: "Your Highness is ashamed, Your Highness's physical fitness is so strong, and your lower officials are far inferior!" ”

However, Zhu Di, who has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child and joined the army when he grew up, is indeed much more adaptable to the dirty and messy environment of the iron smelting institute than Guo An and Zhu Fu and other civilian officials.

Whether it's tea or dinner, they all eat with relish.

Only Guo An and Zhu Fu faced the vegetables brought by Zhong Huo, which was like eating bran vegetables, which was difficult to swallow.

As the sky gradually darkened, the entire iron-smelting plant gradually quieted down, only around the huge iron-making furnace on the mountain behind it, there were still a few old craftsmen around, busy intently.

On the side, there are several other rooms where iron furnaces are also burning, but they are far less lively than under the giant iron-making furnaces.

Zhong Huo also set aside a few houses for Zhu Di, Guo An and others to rest.

It's a pity that in this environment full of mosquitoes and smelly, Guo An and Zhu Fu tossed and turned, and neither of them could sleep.

On the contrary, Zhu Di is sleeping with a thief incense.
