The Beihuan delegation has left, and Yun Zheng’s wedding is not far away.
That afternoon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to help Yun Zheng decorate his mansion.
As for how to arrange it, Yun Zheng didn't understand and didn't worry about it.
Taking advantage of the fact that the original housekeeper was dealt with by Emperor Wen, Yun Zheng also let Ye Zi temporarily serve as the housekeeper for a period of time so that he could continue to investigate the people in the mansion.
Yun Zheng was relieved to leave the recruitment of soldiers to Du Guiyuan and others.
Besides, he shouldn't take this matter too seriously.
The less concerned he was, the more confident Emperor Wen was in him.
For the next two days, Yun Zheng went out early and came back late.
Because Yu Shizhong and Zuo Ren had to follow Du Guiyuan to recruit soldiers, the people who protected Yun Zheng once again became Gao He and Zhou Mi.
Now that Gao He has returned and Zhou Mi's suspicion has been cleared, he finally doesn't have to be on guard against the two of them all the time.
...
...
“Ding ding ding…”
In the blacksmith shop, several blacksmiths were swinging their hammers and hammering non-stop.
Yun Zheng prayed silently in his heart, hoping that it wouldn't crack again this time.
They have been working on forging a small piece of Damascus steel for the gun head for several days, and they have forgotten how many times they have failed.
This time, there is the best hope for success.
The tip of the gun has been hammered almost to pieces, but it hasn't cracked yet.
Under Yun Zheng's nervous gaze, the spear tip was finally forged and entered the most important quenching stage.
In order to quench the steel, Yun Zheng was extravagant and got some rapeseed oil.
Although it is not as good as professional quenching oil, it is still less risky than water quenching.
When the quenching was completed, Yun Zheng immediately ran up and followed several sweaty blacksmiths to check the tip of the gun.
"Your Highness, it's done!"
"It's done, it's finally done!"
After confirming that there were no cracks, several people shouted with joy.
"Very good! I will reward you handsomely later!"
Yun Zheng was also very happy and immediately ordered: "Sharpen the blade quickly!"
The blacksmiths did not dare to delay. After the gun tip cooled down, they immediately began to sharpen it.
Several blacksmiths took turns polishing it, and it took half an hour to finally complete it.
Looking at the shiny tip of the gun, Yun Zheng felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
The process problem has been solved!
As long as it can be mass-produced, wouldn’t it be chopped in half in minutes when encountering those broken weapons of Beihuan?
Excited, Yun Zheng prepared to proceed to the last step of the work.
Acid dip!
If there is no special pickling solution, use white vinegar instead.
As the acid leaching progresses, the pattern on the gun tip gradually emerges.
“What a beautiful pattern!”
"Is this the patterned steel that Your Highness mentioned?"
"This name is really appropriate!"
“So beautiful…”
A group of people gathered in the blacksmith shop in amazement, and Gao He and Zhou Mi's eyes were shining.
If a knife were made from this steel, it would certainly be extremely beautiful.
I’m afraid they won’t be willing to use it to kill people!
Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Yun Zheng couldn't help but secretly curl his lips.
A bunch of ignorant guys!
What is this!
There are no modern equipment.
Otherwise, I will tattoo the whole feather for you, that would be beautiful.
Once I am free from Emperor Wen’s control, I must get a Tang sword with feather patterns!
Yun Zheng secretly made up his mind.
“Thump…”
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.
Yun Zheng looked up and saw Shen Luoyan riding a horse galloping towards him.
Although Chen Luoyan was not wearing military uniform, he had a heroic air when riding on the horse.
This woman!
It looks better when riding on a horse!
Arriving at the door of the blacksmith shop, Shen Luoyan jumped off the horse with a beautiful somersault, which made Yun Zheng very unhappy.
Show off your eggs!
It’s because I don’t have time to practice riding, otherwise I would have beaten you to pieces!
"You're really here!"
Chen Luoyan stood at the door of the blacksmith shop, looking speechlessly at the dusty Yun Zheng.
To be honest, Yun Zheng does look a little embarrassed now.
Although he didn't do it himself, the blacksmith shop was dusty and hot, and the sweat mixed with the dust stuck to his face, making him look dirty.
"Why are you here?"
Yun Zheng wiped the dust off his face and asked with a smile.
Chen Luoyan snorted softly, "I just went to your house and heard that our Sixth Prince was working as a blacksmith all day long. I didn't believe it! So I came here to take a look."
Blacksmith?
I'm opening a tech tree!
You know nothing!
Yun Zheng complained in his heart and asked calmly, "How is your family's preparation going? Do you need any help from me?"
"Oh, you still know how to ask!"
Chen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng unhappily, "I thought the Sixth Prince had forgotten about our wedding!"
I have never seen such a person!
Emperor Wen specially granted him permission to recruit 500 soldiers from the government, but he didn't worry about the recruitment at all.
Their wedding was less than a fortnight away, and he was unconcerned about the preparations on either side.
Come here to work as iron all day?
What's the matter? Does he want to exercise by doing blacksmithing?
Yun Zheng touched his nose and said, "I didn't forget. Am I busy?"
Shen Luoyan curled her lips, "You are busy..."
Shen Luoyan suddenly stopped talking halfway and looked at Gao He's hand.
"Huh?"
Shen Luoyan was slightly surprised, and quickly stepped forward, snatching the tip of the gun from Gao He's hand.
"This gun tip is so beautiful!"
Shen Luoyan couldn't let go of the tip of the gun.
It looked like he was looking at his lover.
Yun Zheng was sure that this woman liked the tip of the gun countless times more than he did.
"Sixth Prince Consort, this is the patterned steel that His Highness taught us to forge!"
A blacksmith said to Shen Luoyan with a smile.
"He... taught you?"
Shen Luoyan looked at the blacksmith in astonishment.
"Yes, it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who taught us how to exercise."
Another blacksmith also echoed, "His Highness the Sixth Prince has been with us for the past two days, and he has suffered a lot in order to make this patterned steel."
"Oh, Sixth Prince, you are really good at winning people's hearts!"
Shen Luoyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Zheng, "Are they afraid that I will think you have been out fooling around these past two days?"
"fool around?"
Yun Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I really should go find a brothel to get a feel for the people!"
As a modern person, if you travel back to the ancient world, you must understand the people's sentiments!
"Go now! Don't say I'm stopping you."
Chen Luoyan didn't care, and put down the spear tip again, saying with a smile: "I'm afraid that your body is weak, just like this spear tip, which is good-looking but useless, and is just an embroidered pillow."
What the hell?
Embroidered pillow?
"I'll show you whether this spear tip is just for show or not!"
Yun Zheng was furious and ordered his men to clamp the spear tips, and then asked Gao He to chop with his sword.
"clang……"
Gao He chopped at him with his sword, and his sword broke into two pieces.
There was only a slight scratch on the edge of the gun tip, and it could be said that it was almost intact.
Seeing this scene, not to mention Shen Luoyan, even Gao He and the others were shocked.
Is this patterned steel so hard?
"Did you see that?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Luoyan, "My gun is not only beautiful, but also very hard!"
