C113 Military Thorn
The mountains were endless, covered in a layer of white silver, looking magnificent.
The man in white stood in front of the mountain peak and behind him was a thin layer of white robe. With bare feet, the bone-piercing wind passed through his long black hair. His snow-like skin allowed the wind to blow as he stood with his hands behind his back. A proud wind was born from his heart. Seeing him, one could not help but feel a chill.
Footsteps came from the limestone floor behind him. When they were close, the person who came was wearing a unique set of clothes. He half-knelt and said respectfully, "Sect Leader, I brought it back."
"Let me take a look." The man's red phoenix eyes revealed ruthlessness. When his white toes stepped on a cold stone, he did not feel cold at all.
When she walked to the front of the car, she saw that there were countless gems in the car. There were seven cars in total. This was the treasure that escort officer and Zhou Xuanyi wanted even if they didn't care about their lives. They had used some means to help Second Prince in Dayong. I won't be afraid, I'll remember it.
The man looked around casually and his eyes fell on the girl who was at the back. "Take these dead things to polish and decorate my new room. As for her, wash them clean and send them to my room. More, give her more to wear. Don't tell me she's cold to death. "
"Yes." The person who came answered and retreated with a bow.
The man stood on the cliff and looked in the direction of the Dayong. His slender fingers had a strand of hair on them. He murmured, "When will I 'invite you back'? What about? Do you think I should kill you? Sigh. I can't bear to part with you. Choosing something is the hardest..."
Mu Ruqing, who was far away in the capital, sneezed. She only thought that it was cold. She did not care about the cloaks that Mrs Miao sent over. It was a dark red cloak with pearls and flowers embroidered at the side. It was an exquisite Phoenix-Tail Flower. Mu Ruqing really liked it. However, she suddenly remembered the conversation she heard at the Prime Minister's residence when she returned. She couldn't help but become alert.
She asked Xiangyi to keep her cloak alone. When she had some free time, she went out for a walk and strolled around. When she arrived at Mingliang's courtyard, the moment she entered, there were weeds all over the place. They were already as tall as her waist.
Mei who was following along wanted to open a path for her but Mu Ruqing waved her hand and stepped directly in.
Mingliang's room had not been decorated for a few years and looked older than the outside. Only his smithing house was cleaned clean and not a single speck of dust was left.
Mei was a little surprised and looked around, "Princess, why is there still someone staying here?"
"Hehe." Mu Ruqing lightly laughed and said, "There is." She slowly walked into the small room.
"Clank, clank, clank." Before he could see the person, the sound of forging metal entered his ears.
Mei held Mu Ruqing's hand and looked at the narrow space. She carefully kicked away the small metal weapons by the side of the road and muttered to herself from time to time, "Why is it placed everywhere? Seriously, what if I accidentally hurt the Princess?"
There were weapons hanging on both sides of the small house and Mu Ruqing could hear them. Many of them had never seen one before, but she saw a small spherical thing hanging on the roof. Mu Ruqing was interested when she reached out her hand to touch it. Just as she was about to touch it, she was scolded.
"What are you doing!? Which courtyard? You dare to touch things you don't know? You don't want your fingers anymore? " With a rough voice, a man with leather around his waist walked out. He was a man who only wore pants. His muscular muscles were getting thicker and thicker under the light of the candles and the light coming in from the outside. His bronze-colored skin was shining due to the sweat, and his face was full of beard. His thick and wide eyebrows and bright eyes.
Mei was a little angry. Who are you? How dare you offend the Princess? Thinking of this, Mu Ruqing shook her head. She was too embarrassed to reply, "It was my recklessness to apologize to Master Mingliang here." She bowed and treated it as an apology.
Seeing her so polite, beautiful, and boorish, Mingliang felt a little shy. He smiled casually and said, "It's nothing. I was a little reckless. I didn't scare you, did I?"
Mu Ruqing shook her head. Mingliang was not as strange as Changxu. "Master, what are you talking about? I originally heard of Master's reputation. He entered the Imperial Residence again and came to visit Master a long time ago. How could I let so many things happen? I can't find my master's place. I never thought that I would coincidentally arrive today."
"It's all just empty titles." Mingliang felt even more embarrassed. When had he ever been praised by such an immortal? He thought of something and looked behind him at Mu Ruqing. " What is the matter, Miss? Miss, you can leave as soon as possible. This place is full of weapons. Don't hurt yourself."
"Master, go ahead. I'll take a look and then leave." Mu Ruqing pretended to turn around.
Mingliang's hands were touching his legs. It could be seen that he was very anxious. "Take care, Miss." After saying that, he hurriedly went back inside.
The small house did not look big but once he entered, it was very long and narrow. Mu Ruqing saw him enter and softly said to Mei, "Let's sneak in and be quiet. He smithing should not be able to hear our footsteps."
Mei also did not dare to speak and nodded her head. The cold metal weapons on the ground were almost piled up into a small mountain and only one person could pass. So she could only take small steps to follow behind Mu Ruqing.
"Clank, clank, clank." Each sound was deafening. It was unknown if it was because he was getting closer or because he was using more and more strength.
There were several smelting furnaces inside that were much hotter than outside. The fur coat and cloak that he had originally worn had become redundant. He covered his neck with his hand and let Mei hold the cloak. Seeing her hot appearance, he arranged for her to wait outside.
Mei was naturally unwilling. How could she let Mu Ruqing be her Mistress and Mistress's words must be heard. She could only stand not far away from the door and look inside.
Mingliang's back was facing them and coupled with the sound of the forging being too loud, she could not hear the light footsteps of the two people. Mu Ruqing carefully avoided the things that were placed randomly.
"Bang." She still kicked something. She looked down and saw that there was a pile of long things scattered around her right foot. Some were big, some were small, some were thick, and some were thin.
Mu Ruqing casually picked up one of them. It was about ten inches long and the blade was triangular. Wasn't this what Yu Longchen asked to help with previously?
Mingliang had finished forging the metal. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Mu Ruqing. He was a little angry. "Get out, get out! Who let you in? Get out! This is not the place you came from!"
Mu Ruqing threw the knife back and clapped her hands. She looked at the pile on the ground and saw that there was nothing useful. She could not help but feel disappointed and ignored him scolding her." Is my military knife ready? "
"Military knife?" Mingliang's attitude changed a little. He started to care about other things.
Mu Ruqing saw that he did not know and kicked a pile of scrap metal. She pouted and said, "This is it."
"This is the blueprint you drew?" Mingliang was a little shocked. How could a young lady draw such a weapon?
"Why? Doesn't look like it?"
"No." Mingliang shook his head and looked at Mu Ruqing in disbelief.
"Master Mingliang, have you finished building it?" Mu Ruqing helplessly closed her eyes and asked. She looked down on me too much.
"Uh..." Mingliang was speechless. He scratched his head and did not say anything.
"This is because it was not done properly?" Mu Ruqing looked at him and said, "How about I help you? You can't grasp it. Ask me. I am very familiar with this weapon." Actually, Mu Ruqing had only seen photos in the original world.
"Okay." Mingliang had been worried about this for a long time. Every weapon he made was not suitable for him. He would give up on the weapons he made if they were flawed.
When it came to making weapons, he only knew how to make them once. Just this military knife alone was not good enough, but it made his pride suffer for a long time.
Mu Ruqing rolled up her sleeves and started working with Mingliang.
Mei saw that she did not come out for a long time and went in to take a look a few times. She saw Mu Ruqing was very busy and before she could say anything, she was scolded by Mingliang. She felt wronged for the entire afternoon.
The two of them were busy until the evening. Mu Ruqing's clothes were covered with black ashes and she did not care. Mingliang only asked her to come back tomorrow. Mu Ruqing was very obedient and he was hungry. He went back and had a good rest for the night.
