"Why is it so hot outside?" This was Feng Yuheng's first sentence after he went out.

The temperature of the furnace was high. Both of them were wearing thin clothes, but they walked out of the furnace and walked in the void of the sky, but they felt cold again, and they put on their winter clothes again.Xutian Grottoes are cold all the year round, and even in the three-day days, they must wear cotton-padded jackets.

The two men were confused in steelmaking and did not realize how long it was until they heard the retreat. Xuan Tianming paid attention to the clothes of the generals outside and then touched the girl next to him with his elbow , Whispered: "How long have we both been inside?"

Feng Yuheng thought about it, "Is it at most a month?"

"Impossible." Xuan Tianming pointed to these soldiers and said: "Look, people wear summer clothes."

She was shocked and looked carefully, but she was thin, thin, and even someone was simply shirtless.

Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were also in the crowd, and when they saw the two came out, they hurried forward to salute: "The slave-servant has seen your highness, and she has seen the young lady."

Feng Yuheng caressed his forehead. Both girls were wearing gauze skirts, so they couldn't help but ask, "What month is it now?"

Wang Chuan replied: "It's already mid-June, and this time, Miss and Her Highness closed their doors for a total of 108 days."

The two were shocked again, 108 days, more than three months, the middle of June in the lunar calendar is equivalent to the end of July in the lunar calendar, the scorching heat!Without saying anything, Feng Yuheng quickly pulled the cloak behind him.

But at this time, Xuan Tianming did not care that he was hot and sweating, and he could not hide his excitement. He raised a hard object in his hand and said loudly: "The first piece of steel in my Dashun Now! "

This sentence came out, all around.As if time had suddenly been frozen, everyone stopped talking and even breathed.In the summer, the mountains are lush and lush, and the bird cicadas whisper, but in his sentence, the bird does not move, the cicada does not speak, and in a flash, there is only the rapid sound of the river in the distance.

People widened their eyes one by one, staring at the piece of Xuan Tianming's hand violently, and the old blacksmiths stumbled forward a few steps, looking at the thing called steel like a treasure.Even Wang Chuan and Huang Quan's eyes shined, and the dark guards who had been hidden everywhere appeared one after another, and no one wanted to miss this historic moment.

I don't know how long it was. Someone asked with a trembling voice: "This ... is steel?"

Xuan Tianming nodded, "Yes, this is steel!"

Wow!

The crowd cheered, the applause thundered, the joy was somehow expressed, the soldiers roared loudly at the mountain, and the blacksmiths knelt down at the piece of steel, old tears.

Xu Shi's atmosphere here is too strong, and the people on the other side of the camp also felt it. They gathered one by one to the Xutian Cave and joined the carnival team.

Not to mention soldiers and blacksmiths, even Feng Yuheng himself was infected by this atmosphere.After one hundred and eight days of retreat, no one can imagine how hard she and Xuan Tianming have survived.

The furnace floor is like a big steamer, so suffocating.Although there is a vent, it can only guarantee that people can survive in that environment. It is absolutely impossible to live comfortably.Steelmaking is a belief in the hearts of the two. Feng Yuheng is to challenge himself and wants to make new steel in an era where there is no high-tech at all.For Xuan Tian Ming, Dashun has steel, which is equivalent to a higher position in this world, and a big step forward compared to other countries.

In short, once the steel is smelted, it is a rhythm that cannot be stopped at all.At first, they will go to the sleeping cave every two days to rest, but the more they enter the key link, not only the difficulty gradually increases, but also the accuracy and continuity of the operation.The two had no time to go to the sleeping cave at all. They cooked for three meals a day. When they were sleepy, they leaned on the stone wall and squinted for a while, but they could squint for at most tens of minutes. .

In the hardest time, the two fell asleep while practicing, but the result was that they missed the hour, and the material was completely abandoned. When they woke up, they had to start all over again.

Another time, the stove was burnt dry, and if the outside soldiers broke in and rescued them, I am afraid that both of them would be choked to death.

Fortunately, she still has a space to carry around. The iced water has never been lacking. From time to time, she will take out several buckets of instant noodles to make a meal.

But it is not enough to solve the problem of eating and drinking. People still have many necessary physiological needs. In particular, her aunt has visited and she will come on time every month. She must go into the space anytime and anywhere.

Xuan Tian Ming, these days also used to a large living person suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, initially felt fresh, and later did not care.He knew that Feng Yuheng was safe. If he could have such a stealth ability, he would be able to save his life if he was in danger in the future.

In short, all the hardships have survived, and finally let them become a real piece of steel.Although it is only a small piece of the palm of the hand, through the steelmaking process, they have also developed a series of new steelmaking methods.Feng Yuheng believes that with the success of this time, the popularity of such things as steel in the Dashun Army is just around the corner.

The excitement of the soldiers continued unabated. Feng Yuheng saw the blacksmith who was still kneeling on the ground, led by the old man who wanted to plead for his grandson.She stepped forward and helped the old man up by herself, and then asked, "Old man, look at a piece of steel of this size, and get a knife out, is that enough?"

As soon as he heard Feng Yuheng discussing technical issues with him, the old man immediately became serious, stared at the steel for a long while, and nodded. "If there is no scrap, it should be enough to hit two handles."

Feng Yuheng said: "It is so good, then I will give this piece of steel to the old gentleman, you can use it to make a knife out, and then I and your highness will personally dedicate to the emperor, OK?"

The old blacksmith's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really."

The blacksmith nodded fiercely, shaking his hand to take the piece of steel from Xuan Tianming's hand, excited to wait for a moment, and ran into Xutian Cave with a laugh.The teenager who was apprentice to him was a little embarrassed and said: "My grandfather is of this nature. I am afraid that if the steel knife is not shot, he feels that he can't sleep well." .

Xuan Tian Ming loudly announced: "People will listen to the order! Prepare wine and bonfire, feast for the three armed forces tonight, take a rest tomorrow, and formally invest in steel making from tomorrow!"

The success of the coach's personal steelmaking is equivalent to giving everyone a shot of strength. The original blacksmiths who had become indifferent because they had been in the military for too long were also excited again.Many people have ran into the Xutian Cave to see the old blacksmith making knives, and the rest of them were divided into groups by the leader, waiting to be assigned tasks in the future.

Qianli came forward and said to the duo: "The last general will have brought back fifty other blacksmiths in groups of five, divided into ten groups. All are waiting in the camp, waiting for the general and the county The Lord came out and dispatched. "

Xuan Tianming waved his hand, "All things will be said later, now, you must let your county master rest well."

Feng Yuheng is really tired. Maybe he hasn't felt it in steelmaking all the time. Now that Chengcheng is relaxed, his energy is relaxed, and his whole body is full of fatigue.She returned to Daying with Huangchuan Huangquan and went to see the Yao first.

Yao's body has now recovered by more than 80%. The whole person looks the same as a normal person at first glance, but the pulse is still a little bit floating, but it is no problem, and you can get a complete recovery by continuing to nurse.

Seeing her coming, Yao was very happy, holding her hand and kept asking about steel making.I heard that the new steel had already been made, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was fortunate and said: "I'm really worried that you can't make steel. We have added so much trouble to the military barracks. How to explain to others! "

Feng Yuheng patted the back of her hand to persuade and said: "My mother is thinking too much. My daughter never swears, saying that you can practice, that is, you can practice."

Yao also sighed: "My Aheng is a child with a good life, my mother is at ease, just ..." She paused and only said: "You can help in the barracks, I am not so straightforward here. Smooth words, so, I think ... "

"Xiaozhou, I will arrange for the house to be prepared as soon as possible. Now that the new steel is released, the blacksmith has already taken it to make it. After making it, my highness and I will personally send the steel knife to the emperor. Send your mother to Xiaozhou in person. "

Yao was relieved and said: "In fact, you don't need to send it, you are so busy, just send some people to send me."

Feng Yuheng shook his head, "Zi Rui is not just his mother's biological son, he is also my biological younger brother. There is no sister in the world who does not love his younger brother, don't persuade her mother."

She didn't stay here on Yao's side. After finishing what she had to say, she came out with Huangchuan Huangquan.Forgetting that her face was not good, Wang Chuan persuaded her: "Ma'am also let this away from the soul, please don't go too far in the heart. Young Master, it's okay for her to be more attentive."

"I know." There was no excessive expression on her face, but there was a little loss in her tone. "When everything is done, send her to Xiaozhou as soon as possible."

The three returned to Feng Yuheng's camp, Huang Quan was busy preparing her for a bath, and Wang Chuan immediately told her the news of the past three months: "Qingyu has been there a few times, I heard that the lady is retreating They stayed only one night and went back. Thousands of people arrived in Beijing as early as a month after the retreat of the young lady. They carried a lot of dowry to the Feng family and sent the 10 million or two golds to the county government. Yu said that she had left two million yuan in the dark room of the government, and the other two million two were converted into small gold tickets for easy access at any time. "

Feng Yuheng nodded, "Qingyu always thinks very well in this regard, and I am very relieved to give her the financial power of the family."

Wang Chuan continued: "Princess Rujia's injury is almost all right, she can go to the ground, only the scars have not been removed, and the person stays in the palace temporarily. Princess Kang Yichang several times proposed to take the person away, The Queen Mother didn't agree. "

She thought about it and asked Wang Chuan: "Do you know who came from Qianzhou this time? Can you go back now?"

Wang Chuan shook his head, "Here comes an uncle, with two civilian officers and two generals. The man has not yet returned, and was left by the emperor, saying that he would wait for the county master to make new steel and give it to Qianzhou. People opened their eyes. Oh, yes, the uncle also brought his little grandson, a four-year-old boy, and speaking of her generation, she was the cousin of Princess Nagara. "

Feng Yuheng thought about it for a while, and such staffing was normal.Dowry, there is an elder, accompanied by civil servants and military officers, and also brought a child, looks very peaceful and friendly.But why does she always think this is not as simple as it seems?

"What could happen to Fengfu?"

Forget Chuan sinking his face, "Yes!"
