Chapter 412: Gathering Materials
is fiery enough, it's undeniably alluring to men. 。Even though she was separated by the curtain, Qin Luoyan could still feel those burning gazes from all directions. Her heart beat rapidly, pounding...Yes, the Rong family are not easy to get along with. If Qin Luoyan fell into the hands of the Rong family, not only would Fu Zimo be in danger, I'm afraid Qin Luoyan herself would have a hard time keeping her life.
“But… Consort Qi snatched the Ziyun Grass. What are we going to do now That Ziyun Grass is a treasure of the Pharmacy Pavilion, and only Miss Lihuan could have obtained it. My subordinate thought that, considering Miss Lihuan’s affection for you, this shouldn't be difficult. But I never expected Consort Qi to snatch it halfway, even causing Miss Lihuan to die tragically…”
When it came to this matter, Ni Wan couldn't help but sigh. If it hadn't been for the Dragon Guard personally relaying the news, she would have never believed that someone like Qin Luo Yan would actually harm innocent lives for a single Purple Cloud Grass.
Fu Zimu fell silent again, losing interest in reading. He gestured to the attendant to put away the book. After the attendant had stowed the book, he left, leaving only Fu Zimu and Ni Wan in the room.
"Master, are we just going to sit here and wait" Ni Wan became increasingly worried. Her master had finally reached an agreement with the Rong family, allowing them to open the Ice Pool for him. If something unexpected happened now, she wouldn't be able to bear it!
Fu Zi Mo looked at the snow falling outside the window. After a while, he said: "Perhaps everything is destined by fate..."
"Fate" Ni Wan was surprised, "Master, you have never believed in fate."
“Perhaps it’s because I’m getting older. Things I didn’t believe in before, I’m starting to believe them now.” Fu Zi Mo laughed bitterly, laughing for a long time before he slowly said, “Send someone to look for the owner of the Qiyuan Pharmacy again and ask if there are any other Ziyuncao left. Now, we can only try everything. If heaven is taking me, I have no choice but to accept it. But being able to die in her hands in a way, I am content.”
How could someone like Fu Zimuo be afraid of death Since he was five years old, he constantly told himself that these years had been wasted. Since they were wasted days, he might as well be domineering and unrestrained!
"Ni Wan..." Fu Zi Mo commanded, then couldn't help but add, "If this king truly meets with misfortune, send Xiao Yu Jing to her side, and then... hand over all the Dragon Hidden Guards to her."
Is this about making arrangements for after I'm gone
Ni Wan's eyes welled up with tears. She had never seen Fu Zi Mo so despondent before. She wanted to comfort him, her lips moved, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. In the end, she could only nod silently, choked with emotion.
The snow in the valley seemed to have grown a bit more. I wonder what Rong family ancestors were thinking, choosing such a place as their ancestral home.
The wind and snow are still raging, but the hearts of people have already frozen solid, unable to budge even an inch.
Over these two days, Qin Luoyan continued to work on her little trinkets in the room. Making weapons was not a simple matter, even for the simplest weapon, from drawing blueprints, to making samples, and finally to costing, testing, adjusting, re-testing, and readjusting, the whole process was extremely laborious and time-consuming.
So in a month and a half, she wasn't able to make many weapons. However, she did manage to create a wrist-shaped crossbow, a soft sword that could be tucked into her belt, and a pair of gauntlets that could shoot out blades.
And over these two days, she felt a bit off, her mind always racing whenever she stopped what she was doing. In a daze, she even heard Xiao Yujing's heartbreaking cries. This feeling was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. She trusted her intuition, so she believed something important was about to happen.
This afternoon, Xiao Long came again to deliver materials, but this time, he seemed a little excited. Especially when he handed four boxes to Qin Luo Yan, he had an indescribable sense of accomplishment. He didn't even understand himself why he would bow down to a woman, could it be just because she was the mistress of his master
I went to a mine outside the city, and only after much effort did I learn from a good miner that there was indeed a kind of stone that could burn. However, that mine didn't have it, but one a hundred miles away, in a small mine, it had appeared before. I rode all night to that small mine. Although the mine was now deserted, fortunately, I found some remnants in the blacksmith's shop in the nearby town. If I hadn't gotten there in time, that blacksmith would have burned those remnants as firewood.
Xiaolong's words held a hint of self-praise. During this time, through his discreet observations, he had started to admire the woman before him unknowingly. For a woman to be so intelligent, it was definitely not a coincidence.
Qin Luoyan was also very excited. She really didn't expect that the things she wanted were actually gathered!
She excitedly carried several boxes into the house and eagerly opened them to take a look. Though the boxes weren't big and their contents weren't abundant, especially with the smallest amount of saltpeter, even so, the materials for making gunpowder were still completely gathered.
"Miss, these things are all ordinary things, what are you going to do with them" Xiaolong asked again.
Qin Luoyan was in a good mood and treated him with a smile. She didn't rush to explain, but instead picked up her brush and paper and started drawing again. After a while, she held up the paper in her hand and handed it to Xiaolong, "You'll know what I'm doing after I finish. Now, please trouble Xiaolong to go to the blacksmith's shop in town and make these things for me."
Xiao Long took the paper and looked at it carefully, but the more he looked, the more puzzled he became. The thing drawn on the paper, he couldn't understand it at all. However, as a martial artist, he could guess that it should be a kind of weapon, "This weapon is really strange, with a small cylinder at the front, it's neither sharp nor long, such a weapon, are you sure it can hurt people"
"Whether or not it can harm people, you'll know when it's finished. But because time is tight, if possible, I hope to see the finished product tomorrow." Qin Luoyan said.
"Tomorrow" Xiao Long couldn't help but speak, "Miss, I don't understand these things at all. I don't know if the blacksmith can make them. Giving him only one day would be even more difficult."
"I also know that we were given too little time, but we have no time. I feel that something major will happen in the next two days. If we don't make it in time, I fear that none of us will be able to leave Man Guo." Qin Luo Yan's expression was grave, and such an atmosphere instantly infected Xiao Long.
He frowned and added, "I'll do my best. I'll stay with the blacksmiths tonight to help them work, but I can't guarantee they'll be finished by the end."
"Go quickly." Qin Luoyan nodded to show her understanding, but her hand trembled slightly, revealing the nervousness in her heart.
