Chapter 575 The Enemy of the Imaginary

It was sunset again.

In the back mountain of Qingmu Village, in a hidden valley, Ning Yi walked out with a few followers.There was still a dry, flaming smell in the air.

"Write it down." Ning Yi, who had just checked the Lvliangshan blast furnace and the craftsmen in detail, but did not make any comments, spoke in a low voice.

"...The direction of blast furnace research is not only to produce better swords and weapons. It is to further find the principle and idea of ​​increasing the temperature, and further remove the carbon content in the iron to produce a more flexible and flexible iron. Each characteristic There are places where iron and steel can be used, and these characteristics must be mastered. At present, the main directions are two: first, higher temperature; second, when molten iron is introduced into the mold, the pursuit of less impurities, more Less air bubbles. The standard is...at least half the thickness of the elm cannon, at least twice the amount of gunpowder of the elm cannon, without exploding the chamber after firing...for this purpose first, to gain experience."

The entourage beside me wrote these down in a small notebook with fine charcoal.Ning Yi thought for a while: "call Master Qin over at night, I want to talk to him."

The blacksmith in Qingmu Village was still from Luliang after all, and Ning Yi had just come over.Only a few craftsmen who came over this time were able to keep up with Ning Yi's ideas because they had worked in Zhuji's R&D compound for more than a year.After this explanation, the group turned out of the mountain, and in front of them were sparse woods and khaki mountain roads.The scenery of Luliang Mountain is difficult to give people a sense of beauty, not to mention the green mountains and green waters, at first glance, it only makes people feel barren.Trees, stones, wolves, animals, and people are all sparsely populated, with mountain ridges and elusive creeks spreading silently among them.

The figure of Hongti is coming up from the hillside below.She was dressed simply, in a soap-blue top and long skirt, just looking at this dress, that is, an ordinary farm girl.It's just that among the same peasant women, her figure is relatively tall, and the spirit of martial arts practitioners is far superior to that of ordinary people. At a glance, one can feel that there is a pleasant vitality in the steps of this figure. The ancient sword held in the upper left hand is a simple but heart-warming heroine.

The setting sun was shining from Ning Yi's side. The woman on the mountainside between the gravel and the grass stopped for a while, the left hand holding the sword was raised on her forehead, and she squinted her eyes and looked here, as if showing a smile.Ning Yi also smiled, turned his head to the person next to him and said, "Let's go." Then he greeted Hongti.

"Have you seen those stoves?" Hong asked when he walked to Ning Yi.

"Well, it's over."

"I don't understand this either, so I found some blacksmiths and asked them to play with this. Every once in a while, I scare them and pretended to kill them. Now the guns are pretty good, and they are very useful. I don't know if it suits you."

"They are basically familiar with the rest, and I have to slowly explore the rest." Ning Yi smiled, held Hongti's hand, and the two walked forward side by side, "You have finished seeing people, what do you think? Sample?"

"I didn't say anything as you said, but what they said was very good. Grandpa Liang just asked me to ask your opinion." The woman raised the hand holding the sword and stroked her hair with a smile.Ning Yi laughed when she saw her plain smile.It is not entirely due to Liang Bingfu that the woman has been the owner of Qingmu Village for so long. She actually has her own opinions, but she will not talk about it at the moment.So he asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't want to talk about that member outside." Hong Ti said, "What he said is very good, how to use the Zhao An Zhao, which adults to use, after the event is completed, how to take care of the whole route, Luliang Shanwai How many people there are. How much money can we make a year, and how much he can give to Lu Liang. It all sounds very good. If it was before, I would like it very much. But we can't guarantee that he will do this. It seems like the idiom says, Qi what... behind them is the Qi family, I suddenly thought..."

"Qi Da Fei." Ning Yi smiled, "Yes, the Qi family's power is in the south of Luliang Mountain. When it comes to business, their power is the biggest. But if you really cooperate with them, in the end, he Whether he gives benefits or not depends on his mood. There is no need to talk about it."

"But in this way, he may stumble for us outside the mountain. After all, they are very powerful." Hongti frowned, "There are people like Wu Shengjun and Dong Pang'er. According to what they said, they joined the army. , they have a backer, and they will take good care of their own people. But if they are not their own people, they may also do bad things. In addition, there are some people who have a very good attitude. More. There is also the Tiger King, the girl from Lou, I think she is very knowledgeable..."

The two walked all the way, along the winding mountain road, to the grove in front of them, and the sunlight peeled off from the gap between the trees.Where there were only two people, the woods seemed peaceful and warm.Ning Yi talked to her as he walked.

"Some things depend on the concept, and some things depend on the degree. From the beginning to the end, Qingmu Village is open to do business. If they are interested, they can actually come. They have to eat alone and tear their faces. Indeed, either party has this ability. , However, this kind of eating alone, it is easy to say at the door of your own house, the forces that do business with the Qi family are not [-] or [-], and they tear their faces everywhere. That's it. Of course, the possibility of them becoming angry cannot be ruled out, but before that, as long as they can speak clearly, there are not many businessmen who tear their faces casually. But when you talk about Tian Hu, what they say, I probably I can guess..."

"That girl from Lou, you know Liheng, right?" Hong mentioned.

"When you were in Hangzhou, you also knew that her father and brother died at my hands. In the chaos that followed, I thought she died on the way to escape. Now that I think about it, the matter of Xiao Xiangma should also be because of her. rise."

"She is very powerful." Hongti nodded, recalling the scene when the woman was in front of her in the lobby of Qingmu Village in the afternoon, from the timing and convenience of cooperation between the two parties, to the basis of mutual trust, and the tiger Wang will not interfere with the core of the operation of Qingmu Village, and even the business plans in the future, the resources that Tiger King has now, and so on... The two men named Yu Yulin and Tian Shi who were present at the time were both. It was almost overshadowed by her existence. If she moved from place to place without Ning Yi, she would really consider the other party's opinion carefully.

Of course, it's another matter now: "In addition to trying to convince me face to face, I heard people say that she is also active at the foot of the mountain, connecting with the king of Luanshan and Luan Heiku. If things don't work, she may be forced to Come up the mountain. She is a woman, and she can do this, it's really amazing. Why don't you ask someone to take her..."

Hongti didn't continue talking, but Ning Yi laughed: "Like I said, some things depend on the concept, and some things depend on the degree. If things don't work out, find someone to force you to cooperate, or like Dong Pang'er. It's a good idea to send a master over to challenge you. But...whatever she wants to do, don't worry about her...between me and her, there is no grudge against her that must be killed. Back then in Hangzhou, she She is capable of managing the business for her family, but it is still a bit naive in general. To be able to do this now, it must have been a difficult journey since then. "

Ning Yi sighed, then recalled the past, and smiled again: "Actually, she was very enthusiastic when she entertained Tan'er and I in Hangzhou back then. It was just that when the war happened, those people in her family had a lot of brains. The problem...it's just a matter of fate. A lot of things are like this, but you don't need to see one and kill the other."

"You killed her father and brother, but now you say that." Hongti tilted her head to look at him, "I don't know how she will feel when she hears it."

"What could I do then? What can she do now? Since it's a knot that can't be untied, there's no need to think about it."

Saying this, Ning Yi smiled and leaned towards Hongti.There was no one else in the forest, their lips touched, and then the slightly hot red hand hugged Ning Yi and buried his forehead between his neck.She is a girl in the mountains. Since she has promised Ning Yi, she is actually not that squeamish.She didn't know much about holding hands, hugging, and kissing, but she felt happy to be with her lover from the bottom of her heart. As for what Ning Yi wanted to do to her, she was just happy and satisfied.

Say something trivial in the woodland, then walk to the edge of the woodland and sit and watch the scene below.Hongti was used to living in the mountains, and found a litter of rabbits-she ran into the weeds with piles of rocks, and dragged a fat female rabbit from it, which was also stained with soil and grass stems. It looked like Without the image of a martial arts master, he just held the rabbit's ear to Ning Yi in the sunset, which made Ning Yi feel extra warm.

There were still a few small rabbits in the pile of rocks. Hongti didn't catch it. He just sat with Ning Yi on the edge of the forest while holding the big rabbit. When she got up to leave, she thought about it and put the big rabbit in her hand. let go.

"You don't get caught again." She squatted there and said this, smiling faintly.

Ning Yi watched from the side.

The two went back to the cottage together and had dinner with Liang Bingfu.Ning Yi lived in the same courtyard with them at night, he lived in a guest room, and Hongti lived two houses away from him.At night, the yard lights up, Ning Yi finds someone to come over to discuss matters, and Hongti and several sisters and aunts living in the yard deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and occasionally walk under the eaves.

After the leader of the blacksmith surnamed Qin who brought him left this time, Hongti came to knock on the door, but came with hot water and a face mask.She is strict with the outside world, but she is not greedy in her private life. Except for the necessary maids who help with the village affairs, she does most of the things in life by herself.Sometimes when I am free, I will help the women in the yard to choose a dish and cook.At this time, it was very natural to bring face wash for Ning Yi. Of course, other than Ning Yi, Liang Bingfu was the only one who had received such treatment in the whole cottage.

In the bright yellow light, the two were like ordinary children in the mountains, sitting in the room and chatting happily for a while...

Liang Bingfu stood under the eaves over there and looked, and then went in again...

Under the dark sky, it was really a small, small yard...

***************
"The Blood Bodhisattva in Qingmu Village doesn't seem to want to talk to us!" Yu Yulin said so in the room on the same night.

"She doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone." At the table not far away, Lou Shuwan held her chin, her eyes didn't know where she was looking, but her expression still seemed relaxed, and her words seemed leisurely, "But I It can be seen that what I said, she was actually a little tempted."

"Miss Lou, do you think she wants to sell it?" Yu Yulin asked after taking a sip from a teacup.

"It's possible, but it doesn't look like it." Lou Shuwan said, "It's right to wait for the price, but she has left us hanging for so long. It stands to reason that if she wants to see us today, she should have an idea. , Now it seems that this Blood Bodhisattva is actually very strong, she is unwilling to cooperate with anyone, she is unwilling to cling to, she just wants to do business as before... It can't be seen on the surface..."

Lou Shuwan murmured and said, "General Yu, the third prince, do you think she is really a blood bodhisattva? How could she create such a situation for such a young woman. When I saw her today, I felt She's amazing, but I can't imagine..."

"It's her." Yu Yulin said, "Miss Lou, you are a woman, and you don't know martial arts, so you can't feel it. I, the third prince, and Mr. Qiu can vaguely feel it. It's just that her cultivation is too high, and she is almost returning to her original state. Or maybe you no longer have the intention to kill, so you can't see it, Miss Lou."

"Can you kill without killing intent?" Lou Shuwan asked curiously.

Yu Yulin thought about it for a while: "For ordinary people, it's just underestimated. Everything is done according to one's heart, and it is not contradictory and confused, that's how it is."

Lou Shuwan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "I'm more curious, why did Zhu Biao challenge Shawanshi today, can he challenge the Blood Bodhisattva by defeating Shawanshi? In addition, the one with the surname Ning. What did you do today..."

She was attached to this, and the last paragraph was almost muttering to herself, Yu Yulin frowned, looking at Tian Shi who was not participating in the discussion but was in a trance, after a while, he said: "Impossible, that Zhu Biao's martial arts It is absolutely impossible to challenge the Blood Bodhisattva. Speaking of challenges... I am afraid that the inner demon must personally take action."

"Impossible..." Lou Shuwan said in a low voice, after all, it was difficult to accept that Ning Yi's martial arts would be so high, and then said: "No matter what, what should be done must be done. General Yu, I Seeing that the Blood Bodhisattva's proposal to me is tempting, more bargaining chips are with you and the third prince. Tomorrow you and the third prince will continue to visit her. In short, keep a good relationship, even chatting is fine, third prince, It's up to you next."

Going up the mountain today, Lou Shuwan is all about interests. As for marriage, she always has to look at the reaction and put it up later.After all, it is the person who is meeting, and it is impossible to say face to face, "We Tiger King want to marry, please marry our third prince." The other party is a woman.Tian Shi's mood was a little wrong after seeing the other party, and at this time he raised his head from the daze.very masculine

"No problem, I know how to do it." Then he added, "Mr. Lou, you are also very good. I only admire you now."

Lou Shuwan smiled charmingly: "If necessary, I will also visit her. But most importantly, I have to contact Luan Sanlang and others. If things don't work out, let's call more people to share the cake. The third prince, she is a woman after all, no matter how strong a person is, she will still want someone to rely on, you work harder."

Tian Shi smiled and showed his teeth.

When Yu Yulin and Tian Shi said their goodbyes, Lou Shuwan got up and escorted them to the door. She folded her hands in front of her and smiled as she watched them go back to her room, and then she looked towards the darkness in the distance.Although there was already action there, she still couldn't guess what medicine Ning Yi was selling in the gourd.

In the next few days, Tian Shi began to visit the Blood Bodhisattva frequently, while Lou Shuwan kept meeting with the people on various hilltops, and urged the Luliang thieves outside Qingmu Village to unite.In her conception, when things are halfway through, someone should intervene. At least Ning Yi's side should be aware of her actions and stop them. She also anticipated all kinds of troubles, prepared various countermeasures, and even She imagined that Ning Yi sent someone to kill her, she was a weak woman, this should be the easiest way to break the game.

As a result, three nights later, she woke up from the bed and sat dazedly against the wall on the bed, staring at the moonlight shining in from the window lattice, and lost her mind for nearly an hour.She had a vague hallucination that the person Ning Yi sent to kill her would come in through the window, or maybe it was Ning Yi himself...

However, her killer never came.

Three days later, the noise outside Qingmu Village has become more and more lively, and the tentacles of various forces have also extended on a large scale. Under Lou Shuwan's operation and lobbying, most of them felt the urgency and crisis.Under such an atmosphere, the remaining forces in Luliangshan have also been disturbed, and they have begun to contact and negotiate with these people.

In the midst of this excitement, somewhere in Lou Shuwan's heart became extraordinarily quiet. She felt that something might happen at any time, but she also vaguely felt that the other party didn't notice her actions at all... Because in all the In the human response, only the people in the yard led by Zhu Biao, who practice martial arts, fight, hang out and bask in the sun all day long, do not see any movement at all, and Ning Yi... has not yet appeared in her sight...

As the people on the top of Luliang Mountain began to dispatch, they came to Qingmu Village.The mountains are about to come, and she can't figure out at all, how the other party is going to calm down this chaos, so as to obtain the benefits he wants...

　I was scared to pee. Today, the power went out when I was coding. After restarting the computer, the entire script of the episode in the little black room disappeared. At that time, it really was about to crash. Fortunately, I found out that the software will save temporary files every other natural segment.It feels so good to be lost...
