Chapter 190 Snowflake Iron
Luo Li was really curious about the Moyun Cavalry Camp. She was a little excited to see it with her own eyes!
In early winter, there are still many beautiful places on the road.
Passing by a maple forest, Luo Li opened the car window curtain to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Most of the maple leaves have withered, and the ground all over the mountains is covered with a layer of red and yellow fallen leaves. The remaining red leaves are still stubbornly resisting the coming severe cold, and the imperfect beauty is even more charming.
Looking at the beautiful hair so close, King Qin's hands itched again.
He raised his hand and rubbed Luo Li's head, "Princess, after visiting our Moyun Cavalry Camp, can I go with you to visit the manor in the west of the city?"
Luo Li felt as if an electric current was flowing through her body from the top of her head down, and she slapped his claws away in embarrassment.
"Go ahead! Why are you rubbing my head again? Such a beautiful bun has been messed up by you."
The King of Qin was overjoyed to get the promise!
[Li'er really put me in her heart. This king continued to be fierce, and the feeling of being a dog licking the princess was really sweet. 】
The Moyun Cavalry Camp was heavily guarded, and the high walls were built with large pieces of bluestone. When a small group of military officers on duty outside the gate saw that it was their own prince and princess who got off the carriage, they quickly knelt on one knee and saluted!
"I have met your Highness! I have met your Princess!"
"No need to be polite!" The King of Qin waved his hand.
Luo Li smiled politely at the soldiers and nodded.
The barracks in the military camp were neatly arranged, and in the vast training ground, many soldiers lined up to practice military skills. Some were practicing infantry battle charges, some were practicing archery, and there were two teams practicing cavalry charges.
In the empty field, the soldiers rushed, fought, and charged! The sound of trumpets, shouts, and the collision of weapons echoed continuously, making people feel the tense atmosphere of the war!
Those black armors, the figures moving forward bravely, and the resolute faces made people feel a kind of iron-blooded military spirit!
Luo Li saw this kind of intense training for the first time, and exclaimed in praise!
: "You are truly an elite soldier who is invincible in every battle!
The training is serious enough. Only the training close to the actual combat level can effectively improve the combat effectiveness. I will put up a sign on the training ground of the Big Foot Women's Army Corps camp, {Sweat more during training, bleed less on the battlefield!}"
After hearing this, Qin Wang Zhao Defang immediately ordered, "Yun Yi, put up a sign next to this battlefield, and follow the instructions of the princess: sweat more during training, bleed less on the battlefield!"
Yun Yi pursed his lips and bowed to accept the order.
: "Are you stealing skills again?" Luo Li glared at Qin Wang with her beautiful eyes, but she felt so sweet in her heart.
Her eyes swept to some equipment and training figures in the distance.
She was startled!
Then, she was delighted again! [My method of training soldiers seems to be suitable for this era.]
: "Zhao Defang, did you steal my method of training soldiers? Have you paid the patent fee?"
The King of Qin did not understand the word patent fee, but he could understand its meaning.:
"Princess, your methods of training soldiers and training equipment are extremely advanced and practical.
How much patent fee do you want?"
Luo Li thought about it, and then she stretched out three fingers with a big mouth.:
"Three hundred majestic Hequ war horses."
: "Deal!" The King of Qin said happily, imitating the tone of his own princess.
Luo Li was even more happy!
[I made a fortune on this trip!]
The King of Qin led Luo Li to the courtyard in the corner of the military camp. This is the weapon research and development base of Mo Yunqi, and the security is even stricter!
Wu Xing was monitoring here, and when he saw the prince and princess, he hurried forward to salute.
"I have met the prince and princess before."
Luo Li had a good impression of this deputy commander who had led the team to the hot spring villa for rescue, and smiled amiably. : "Wuxing, why are you here to slack off instead of commanding the troops?"
Wuxing already knew the princess's habit of joking, and smiled and replied: "Reporting to the princess, I am here to help you supervise the craftsmen in making snowflake iron swords and precious swords."
"Really? Thank you very much!"
"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. It is my blessing to be able to serve you."
Luo Li turned her head and looked at the King of Qin and said: "Zhao Defang, you, the deputy commander, are much better at talking than Yun Yi. The young man is quite handsome, and you are also good at flattering people?"
Wuxing, who was mentally prepared for the princess's love of joking, could not resist it. He blushed and hesitated, not knowing how to reply.
The King of Qin raised his eyebrows!
: "The people trained by this prince are of course all-rounders. I have only recently trained them to flatter."
Wu Xing thought to himself: [The prince asked us to learn how to flatter and coax people with sweet words, all for the sake of winning over the tender and juicy cabbages planted by you, the princess. The prince has ordered that if we have a cabbage that we like, we should work harder to pursue it, so that the Qin Palace and the Luo Palace can become closer and closer!]
Wu Xing took the lead and walked into a room that looked like a blacksmith's shop. An old man with three long hairs under his chin was happily bending over to inspect a box of iron blocks!
Hearing someone enter the room, he looked back, stood up, and said excitedly: "My Lord, this time we got three boxes of snowflake iron, enough to make thirty swords!"
The King of Qin smiled and nodded, "Mr. Ou, you will be busy these days."
"Don't be afraid! It's my blessing to be able to make swords with snowflake iron by myself!"
Luo Li looked at this old man with a strange appearance, thinking that this man's flattery skills were also trained by the King of Qin? Otherwise, how could he be the same as Wu Xing?
The King of Qin smiled faintly, took Luo Li's hand and introduced: "Mr. Ou, this is my princess. She wants to use these snowflake irons to forge twenty swords."
Then he turned to Luo Li and introduced: "This Mr. Ou is the descendant of Ou Yezi, the originator of sword making. His real name is Ou Erzi, and he is the best sword-making artist in the world."
"Hello, princess!" Mr. Ou, who did not salute the prince, politely bowed to the princess.
Luo Li knew that this person must be a hermit, and now she had something to ask of him, so she hurriedly and enthusiastically bowed!
"Mr. Ou, looking at your otherworldly face and your extraordinary bones, I know that you are a capable hermit.
These twenty precious swords of my princess are entrusted to you!"
Mr. Ou was a little curious about the behavior of the Princess of Qin, and then he thought of this as the famous stupid princess, so he knew why she, who was of such a noble status, bowed to him, and the bow was the one that men should give to each other.
After receiving the bow from the noble Princess of Qin, Mr. Ou, who was always aloof and unruly, felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly bowed again, and the degree of his waist bending increased a lot.
"Princess, you don't have to be so polite. It's my honor to forge a sword for you."
Luo Li was about to return the favor to Mr. Ou, but the King of Qin smiled and pulled her back.
"If you two continue to be polite to each other, it will become a kneeling ceremony."
Luo Li then remembered her extremely noble status as the Princess of Qin. Except for those in the palace, she didn't have to return the favor to anyone she wanted to please.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Fox showed her smile that seduced the little white rabbit again, "Mr. Ou, do you like to drink fine wine? Do you like to eat delicious food and snacks?"
Mr. Ou stroked his beautifully trimmed three-strand white beard and smiled at the silly princess who did not follow common sense in her words and deeds: "The fine wine sold in the princess's wine shop is the most delicious food in the world. I have to drink a few glasses every day."
[It's OK if you like the things I made! It's OK if you like to drink. 】
Luo Li generously promised: "Master Ou, the wine you drink in the future will be provided by this princess. I will send someone to deliver three hundred altars to you tomorrow!"
Master Ou was secretly happy about the passionate and unrestrained and uninhibited generosity of the silly princess.
: "Then I would like to thank the princess for her kindness."
The King of Qin was simply disgusted by his princess's ability to flatter and lure talents to serve her.
He reminded: "Princess, please give Master Ou the drawings of your swords!"
Luo Li took out a stack of drawings and handed them to Master Ou respectfully.
: "Master Ou, how long do you think it will take to cast it?"
Master Ou took the drawings and looked through them.
: "If my disciple were here, they could all be cast in more than a month. But he is currently suffering from a serious disease, his belly is as big as a bowl, and he is bedridden, so he can't be my assistant.
It will take more than two months to cast all the swords for the princess."
[Suffering from a serious disease, belly as big as a bowl? If she is not pregnant, then she has a fibroid in her stomach. ]
: "Master Ou, I have a disciple, Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. Let him diagnose your disciple.
I will also send a good blacksmith to be your assistant. See if he can be used."
Ou Erzi had no interest in the good blacksmith, but he was very happy that the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor diagnosed his disciple.
Originally, today he wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to invite the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who has superb medical skills, to see his apprentice. Unexpectedly, the Princess of Qin took the initiative to speak up, but how could the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor become the apprentice of the silly princess?
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Then please ask the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor to diagnose my apprentice!"
"No problem! It's just a matter of a word from my princess." Luo Li waved her hand with pride.
The corners of the Prince of Qin's lips curled up with a smile, thinking that my princess is really a talent who recruits talents! Is she trying to dig a corner of my wall with a hoe?
Luo Li looked down at the iron blocks in the box, took a piece and examined it carefully, and it was quite heavy.
The famous snowflake iron in history doesn't look special, right? It is just a bit more grayish white than the surface of ordinary cast iron.
The precious swords and sabers made of this thing are said to be the most powerful cold weapons.
Thinking of the power and domineering of the two snowflake iron ring knives used by Wu Song in "Water Margin", Luo Li's heart was filled with eager anticipation.
[My subordinates will have 20 of the snowflake iron swords used by Wu Song!
O'erzi looked through the drawings carefully, looked up and said, "Princess, if this large knife is made of snowflake iron, it would be a waste of materials. After these three boxes of snowflake iron are used to make the twenty
swords on the drawings, the remaining materials will not be enough for a few swords."
Luo Li glanced at the King of Qin beside her with a guilty conscience, and argued unreasonably, "There is a large sword in the drawings that uses a lot of materials, but there are five short blades that save too much material!
Anyway, these twenty swords on my drawings must be made with enough work and materials first, and you can use the remaining materials to make swords for Zhao Defang."
O'erzi looked at His Royal Highness the King of Qin, waiting for instructions from the owner of the snowflake iron raw materials.
The King of Qin said without hesitation: "Just make a sword for the princess according to the requirements on the drawing, and the remaining materials can be used to make several swords."
O'erzi smiled and agreed.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin really dotes on his silly princess.
