across mountains and seas

After Shen Jiangli happily finished his snacks, he pushed Liu Xi to the 【Casting Terrace】.

Jing Huan saw Liu Xi from a long distance, hurried down the steps, and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Liu Xi chuckled, stood up with a wooden wheel, "The mineral water should be almost smelted, and it's time to start forging." With that, Liu Xi was limped up the [casting machine] with Shen Jiangli's support. Bingtai].

Jing Huan carried the wooden cart on his shoulders and followed quickly.

Liu Xi walked closer to check the color of the mineral water, "Fourth Uncle, I want a sword model."

Jing Huan put down the wooden cart, and asked in a startled voice, "Sister-in-law, do you want to forge a weapon?"

Liu Xi smiled mysteriously, "Yes." After finishing speaking, she looked at the other cast iron men on the [Casting Terrace], and said seriously, "I will trouble you all these days."

The cast iron man bowed respectfully.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Huan, "Ten days, I want one hundred climbing armors." Then, she took out a small album from her bosom, "And these firearms." Liu Xi handed the album to Jing Huan. Huan.

Jing Huan was shocked when he saw it, "Hiss! Awesome!"

"If you're not powerful, you can't seal off the soldiers and horses of the Ye clan and other races in Xishenzhou at once." Liu Xi calculated the battle strategy, "Alan needs time to strengthen his strength in Dongfuzhou. The rice has been prepared, and now only It's short of armament."

Jing Huan was excited when he heard that, "Let alone one hundred pieces, I will type out all ten thousand pieces for Xiao Wu!"

"One hundred pieces plus these firearms will be enough this time." After Liu Xi finished speaking firmly, she was silent for a moment thoughtfully, "A lot of armaments will be needed in the future, Fourth Uncle, the fire here will only It's getting hotter and hotter." The only thing Liuxi fears now is the Shura Court, and now these armaments can only be sent out quietly by sea.

Those Asura Guards from Asura Court are still watching outside Haicheng?

Before the Asura Court is resolved, it is useless to know the location of the East China Sea mine, because the [Casting Terrace] is so big, and the armaments that can be built every day are limited, and the furnace cannot be expanded to increase production.

Food, grass and armaments are often the key to determining the outcome of a battle.

In this battle, Liu Xi only wanted to stabilize the situation in East Fuzhou and West Shenzhou, so that the Dongjing clan would have time to develop, and also let her have time to deal with Shura Court.

Counting the days, Mr. Jing San should have brought people outside Sanshan Pass by this time.

Whether they can win the first battle depends on Jing Yuan's amazing soldiers.

Liu Xi sighed lightly, thinking that she could miss Jing Lan less by forging a weapon, but once she calmed down, all she could think about was that silly girl.

Although she has prepared the best start for her, but swords have no eyes on the battlefield, Jing Lan not only has to guard against open swords and spears, but also guards against the court's hidden arrows.

What Nie Su said today is not necessarily a lie.

With such intentions in the imperial court, the Dongjing family should increase their strength as soon as possible.

No one dares to bully those who are powerful in troubled times.

"Sister-in-law." Just as Liu Xi was in a trance, Jing Tan came up from below, saw that Liu Xi was not sitting on the wooden cart, and said sadly: "Your foot is still hurt."

Liu Xi came back to her senses, sat down with a smile, "I forgot for a moment."

Shen Jiangli moved his nose slightly, glanced behind Jing Tan, and said with a smile, "Sui, Zi?"

Jing Tan originally planned to give Liu Xi a surprise, but Shen Jiangli smelled the fragrance on the tassel of the knife, so he took it out and offered it with both hands, "I heard that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu both made knives and gave them to their sister-in-law. I think I should give my sister-in-law a present too."

A string of small bells is tied on the five-color wreath, and the word "Xi" is engraved on each small bell.

Liu Xi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Ah Lan forged a knife?"

The smile on Jing Tan's face froze, "Sister-in-law... don't you know?" As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Huan beside him.

Jing Huan winked at him, signaling not to talk about it.

"Huh?" Liu Xi swept over with knife-like eyes.

Jing Huan couldn't help trembling, so he had no choice but to say in a low voice: "I haven't cast it yet, I made an appointment with Xiaowu, and when he finishes casting it, I will give it to you sister-in-law. Let's see, who casts it more like sister-in-law?"

Still considerate.

Liu Xi was in a good mood, she didn't care about the tassel in Jing Tan's hand, she looked at Shen Jiangli, "What gadgets do you like?"

"Bao, Zi." Shen Jiangli replied seriously.

"Okay, let's make a small bun for my sister!" Liu Xi rolled up his sleeves, stood up again with the help of the wooden cart, limped to the casting table, picked out two handy tools, I am going to make a small gift for Shen Jiangli first.

Jing Tan held the tassel tightly, wondering if he should give it away again, it was very embarrassing.

When Jing Huan heard that Liu Xi was going to make something for Shen Jiangli, he moved over with great interest, "Sister-in-law, I can help too!"

"Go over there and beat your armor." Liu Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Alan is waiting there, don't mess around."

"Okay." Jing Huan had no choice but to give up, but he still couldn't help sneaking a peek at Liu Xi's construction techniques.

If Shen Jiangli likes this, then he will send it to her in the future.

"Sister-in-law, this knife spike..." Jing Tan couldn't help but opened his mouth.

Liu Xi turned her head and nodded politely, "Second Uncle has a heart, Fourth Uncle and Ah Lan's knife is still there, why don't we talk about it later."

Jing Tan lowered his arms and said calmly: "That's fine, that's fine." After a short pause, he hesitated to speak.

"Second uncle, is there something else?" Liu Xi asked directly.

Jing Tan said hoarsely: "Sister-in-law seems to care about Xiao Wu...?"

Liu Xi smiled calmly, and answered candidly, "She is the Patriarch of the Dongjing Clan, how can she not be interested in her? Besides, before my filial piety expires, I am still a sister-in-law. The so-called elder sister-in-law is like a mother. She is the youngest one, so I must take care of her."

This answer makes sense.

"I know that you all treat me well, but after all, uncles and sisters-in-law are different, especially you, the second uncle, who has already performed the crown ceremony." Liu Xi deliberately understood this point, "I can accept some gifts, There are some gifts that I can’t accept.” As she spoke, she glanced at the tassel in Jing Tan’s hand, “The tassel is an important thing, if it’s not an important person, it’s absolutely unacceptable, second uncle’s heart, I can only understand gone."

Jing Huan rejoiced beside him, "It's a good thing I'm not eighteen, otherwise I wouldn't be able to compare with Xiao Wu this time!"

"If fourth uncle is also eighteen, then I can only accept Alan's gift." Liu Xi pretended to be helpless, but she spoke more clearly than anything else.

Jing Tan felt ashamed, and immediately bowed to Liu Xi, "I was negligent, please forgive me, sister-in-law."

"They are all relatives of my own family, how can I forgive or not forgive?" Liu Xi deliberately remembered the word "pro" and smiled, "Second Uncle, the patrol of Haicheng is also very important."

"I'll go right away!" Jing Tan nodded and walked away quickly.

Shen Jiangli approached Liuxi, as if he wanted to say something.

Liu Xi gave her a wink, indicating not to mention anything, and said with a smile: "What kind of pattern do you want?"

Shen Jiangli followed Liu Xi's words and replied: "Little fish!"

Jing Huan couldn't help laughing and said, "There are no steamed stuffed buns filled with fish in the world."

Shen Jiangli frowned and said, "I want to eat!"

Liu Xi said warmly: "Why don't I make you a cage of fish tonight?"

"Okay, ah!" Shen Jiangli nodded excitedly.

Jing Huan suddenly felt greedy too, "Sister-in-law, I want to eat too."

"Two cages..." Liu Xi hesitated to speak.

Jing Huan said with a smile: "I'll prepare the sword model for my sister-in-law! First set it on fire and quench it!"

"No." Liu Xi shook her head.

Jing Huan scratched his head, "That's..."

"Show me the drawings of you and A Lan making knives?" Liu Xi took the opportunity to say, "Because A Lan is not here, I can secretly give you some pointers, and I will definitely win against A Lan."

She still couldn't help but want to see what kind of surprise A Lan would give her?

Jing Huan was even more proud, "Okay!" After saying that, Jing Huan dug out his blueprint at the [Casting Terrace] and proudly handed it to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi took it, seeing the shape of the knife, she couldn't help frowning.

Such a knife is a bit "sturdy" for a girl to use.

"Sister-in-law, this knife is called Killing Sifang!" Jing Huan was even more proud.

"Pfft."

Shen Jiangli couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, and replied solemnly: "The name matches the knife well."

"Sister-in-law, you like it!" Jing Huan was really happy.

"I like it, of course I like it, I'll think about how to change it, and then I'll tell fourth uncle you." Liu Xi changed the subject, "Then... where is Ah Lan's blueprint?"

Jing Huan shook his head, "Xiao Wu didn't have any blueprints. When he started making the knife embryo, he lost his mind and turned it a little bit. The last knife he made was about this long and wide..." Jing Huan said while gesticulating, "Like a sword. To the knife again, there is a string of small plum blossoms on the back of the knife..."

Liu Xi smiled knowingly, "What's the name of this knife?"

Jing Huan shook his head again, "Xiao Wu didn't say anything, I said it was called Tu Tianxia, ​​and Xiao Wu said it was ugly."

Liu Xi couldn't hold back her smile right now, "Fourth Uncle, you..."

"What's wrong?" Jing Huan asked in confusion.

Liu Xi smiled without saying a word, and looked at Shen Jiangli, "Sister, let's make steamed buns first? Donghai fish is used as an ingredient, and the umami taste is fresher than anything else."

When Shen Jiangli heard that there was something delicious, he nodded abruptly, "Go, go!"

Jing Huan moved the wooden cart down the steps, watched Shen Jiangli push Liuxi away, and laughed dumbfoundedly, "Xiao Wu, I'm sure to win you this time!"

After walking out of [Casting Terrace] for a while.

Liu Xi suddenly patted the handrail, signaling Shen Jiangli to stop.

"Sister paper, look out of the corner of your eye, is there anyone on the other side of the rockery?"

Shen Jiangli pretended to bend over and tugged at Liu Xi's skirt a few times, after seeing it clearly, he lowered his voice and said, "Two, two?"

"I thought the previous few times were just coincidences." Liu Xi suddenly felt that something more disturbing had happened, "It seems that he still didn't understand what I said."

"What, what to do?" Shen Jiangli also began to worry.

Liu Xi supported his forehead, "Quick battle, I can't stay in Haicheng for long."

Shen Jiangli nodded.

"Sister, you can stay." Liu Xi looked at her seriously, "The place I'm going to is dangerous."

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli pointed to Liu Xi, then pointed to his own heart, "Follow, follow." After finishing speaking, Shen Jiangli squatted down in front of Liu Xi, lying on his stomach like a baby On both knees, "No, I'm afraid."

"Good girl." Liu Xi fondled the back of Shen Jiangli's head.

Shen Jiangli raised his face and looked at Liu Xi with a smile, "Sister, sister."

Liu Xi's heart is warm, although she is not a real sister, but this friendship is more heartwarming than a real sister.

"I'll make whatever you want to eat in the future." Liu Xi has always wanted to have such a loving younger sister who can pamper her unscrupulously, as long as she feels happy.

Meeting Shen Jiangli was a surprise from the heavens.

Shen Jiangli nodded happily, "T-good!"

The author has something to say: Gengwen~ Liu Xi is so vigilant, he must have noticed the second brother's mind long ago.
