Looking into Shen Youyu's beautiful, watery eyes, Xiao Yu understood how much she missed him.

"My wife, I will come back every night from now on."

Xiao Yu held her in his arms and said softly, "This weapon forging is very important. As long as we can forge a superior weapon, I can ask for the title of General of the North. With military power in hand, I will no longer be afraid of those villains."

"I see."

Shen Youyu nodded gently, her voice even softer. She said softly, "As long as Shilang has me in his heart, I will be content. From now on, Shilang doesn't need to come back every night. It's only half a month... it's not a long time."

When she said the last few words, Shen Youyu's voice betrayed her guilt.

"That won't work."

Xiao Yu reached out and pinched Shen Youyu's delicate, fair chin, and said, "I only want to teach my wife everything I know every night. I can't wait half a month, can I?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Youyu's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling that these four words were not suitable for this context.

Fortunately, she was a worldly person and quickly understood what Xiao Yu meant.

"Shilang, while you were away for the past two days, I've made three more sets of clothes..."

Shen Youyu spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, her pretty face flushed with a rosy blush, as alluring as a ripe red apple.

Xiao Yu understood, his eyes lighting up with excitement, and said, "Then my wife, quickly change into your battle armor; it can help increase my attack speed."

Soon, the bed was subjected to pressures that were beyond its years.

...

the next day.

Xiao Yu looked at the various clothes on the ground, including a red bellyband and three battle suits that had been damaged in battle, and stretched comfortably.

As their communication deepened, the wife and he became more and more in sync, and the previous awkwardness and embarrassment disappeared.

Although Shen Youyu is still often shy, he tries his best to cooperate with her every time.

This scene of her being clearly shy but still trying her best to please Xiao Yu... every time, it increased Xiao Yu's fighting power.

As a result, the juvenile fish is still dormant.

"Don't push yourself so hard next time. After all, she's your wife, so take it easy."

Looking at his wife, who was still fast asleep, although she had a satisfied smile on her face, her slightly furrowed brows showed her exhaustion.

"If it's one of those courtesans like Ningxiang, then there's no need to pity them..."

Xiao Yu suddenly thought of the courtesan Ningxiang, wondering what she thought of him after she woke up.

You used half a poem and you think you can treat her like a woman from a quiet life?

"Shiro, it's dawn."

Shen Youyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at the window, and spoke with a hint of weariness in her voice.

"It's dawn, I should go to the workshop."

Xiao Yu bent down and kissed his wife's lips, then said, "Wife, sleep a little longer. When you wake up, have Niannian go to the kitchen and tell the cook to make some more food..."

"Um."

Shen Youyu felt weak all over and didn't want to get out of bed, so she agreed.

...

Half an hour later, Xiao Yu arrived at the workshop.

To save time, Xiao Yu bought a horse in the outer city, and the entire route through the outer city was traveled by horse.

Once inside the city, lead your horse to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

"Your Highness, shall we continue hammering pig iron today?"

Xiao Zhan watched the soldiers diligently hammering pig iron and asked with some confusion, "In other workshops, after hammering the pig iron to this size, they start hammering the prototypes of weapons..."

"These weapons forged from pig iron are garbage."

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Keep fighting until I tell you to stop."

"yes."

Although Xiao Zhan had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions and instead chose to carry out the order.

The same applies to other soldiers in the garrison.

"Only the guards of Prince Xiao's mansion would be so obedient... If it were any other craftsmen, they would probably be throwing a tantrum by now."

Xiao Yu smiled gently, then muttered to himself, "Each time you heat and forge, the carbon content in the pig iron will gradually decrease. Once you've hammered it a certain number of times, I'll teach you the next step."

After saying that, Xiao Yu went back into the house.

He sat in a chair, holding a calligraphy brush, and began to draw a design on the paper.

"I've already seen the samurai swords from Japan, and they're exactly the same as the samurai swords from Japan..."

"In that case, I'll use the Qi Family Army's Qi Family Sword to deal with these bastards."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu slowly drew the shape of the Qi Family Knife on the paper.

The Qi Family Knife was a sword specially crafted by Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty who fought against Japanese pirates, to counter the samurai swords used by the pirates.

The biggest difference between the Qi family sword and the Japanese samurai sword is the hilt. Their lengths and thicknesses differ.

The shape of the Qi Family Sword was inspired to some extent by the curved design of Japanese swords... The forging of the Qi Family Sword followed Qi Jiguang's requirement of "refining iron extensively and using pure steel for the blade," using refined steel for the blade body and pure steel for the blade edge, achieving a balance of strength and flexibility.

"Done!"

After several revisions, Xiao Yu finally drew the most perfect Qi Family Knife.

Next, Xiao Yu began drawing details and marking dimensions, etc.

Soon it was evening again.

Xiao Zhan carried the food into the room. After seeing the Qi Family Knife drawn by Xiao Yu, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Highness, what kind of knife did you design? It looks very strange."

"This is specifically designed to counter samurai swords."

Xiao Yu raised his head, rubbed his temples, and said, "There are still some details to finalize. Tomorrow, make an iron knife based on this design... I'll test the feel of it first, and then optimize it."

Although the shape of the Qi Family Sword was perfectly drawn, the size was off by a hair's breadth, and Xiao Yu still needed to continuously optimize it through practice.

"yes!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's seriousness, Xiao Zhan realized that this knife was no ordinary weapon.

During this period, Xiao Yu's performance has led Xiao Zhan and others to choose to trust him unconditionally... In fact, even if Xiao Yu hadn't shown those amazing abilities, as a veteran of the Xiao Royal Palace, Xiao Zhan would have carried out Xiao Yu's orders without hesitation.

"I won't be in the workshop tonight. Keep this design safe and don't let anyone see it."

Xiao Yu continued.

Although Xiao Zhan couldn't understand the Qi family's sword and found it very strange...

However, Master Ouyang's disciples were not useless.

If this design had fallen into the hands of Ouyang Ye or Ye Qun, things would have been completely different. These two would have been able to discover the advantages of the Qi Family Sword and know that such a sword could counter the samurai sword.

He and Ouyang Ye were originally competitors.

If Ouyang Ye gets his hands on the design, forges the Qi Family Blade first, and then claims that Xiao Yu plagiarized it... that would be a huge mess.

Given Ouyang Ye's status as a disciple of Master Ouye, probably no one would believe that the Qi Family Knife was designed by Xiao Yu; they would all think that Xiao Yu stole Ouyang Ye's design drawings.

"It's best to avoid such a blunder from happening again."

Xiao Yu mentally complained, then started eating.

Finish your meal quickly, then go home to find your wife.

A day apart feels like three autumns; my wife must miss me terribly…
