With Feng Yu Heng's words, the hall was in an uproar.
No one would have thought that this county princess Ji An would actually dare to say such arrogant words! Zong Sui's iron essence had been invincible for a hundred years, what amazing thing did she have to compete with it?
Even when Feng Yu Heng had already brought Huang Quan out of the Coloured Glass Hall, the sounds of discussion still rose and fell in the hall. Li Kun said: "Your Majesty should be clear that even if county princess Ji An really has a divine weapon that can break iron essence, the dowry that my Zong Sui is giving to the Sixth Princess is the method to make iron essence!"
Everyone understood this logic, even if Feng Yu Heng took out a rare item to break iron essence, how much could she have? What Dashun wanted was the method to make it and not to flaunt his power for a moment.
Faced with the people's discussion, Xuan Tianming was calm. He believed in Feng Yu Heng, and he had personally witnessed some inconceivable mysteries. At this moment, he dared to conclude that the knife that Feng Yu Heng spoke of was already in her sleeves, but because this was the imperial palace and there were so many pairs of eyes watching, she had no choice but to make a trip outside the palace.
An evil smile appeared on his face, and he leisurely leaned back in his wheelchair, calmly playing with the whip in his hand. He did not look as nervous as before.
Emperor Tianwu looked in his direction, and Xuan Tianming's appearance instantly gave him a great deal of confidence. It had to be said that he had been a bit perturbed by Feng Yu Heng's actions before, but because of Dashun's face, he had no choice but to nod and agree to try. But right now, his Ninth Son's behavior was telling him: Don't worry, this matter will definitely succeed.
Therefore, Emperor Tianwu also leaned back in his chair, and an evil smile that was 90% similar to Xuan Tianming's appeared on his face.
The officials couldn't help but sigh. Like father, like son. From the looks of it, County Princess Ji An might really be able to bring some surprises.
Actually, everyone still had a sliver of hope. Even if Feng Yu Heng could only show off for a moment, as long as she could break the iron essence weapon, Dashun could be considered to have regained some face in front of this Zong Sui prince. Although she still couldn't change the fact that the Seventh Prince was going to marry her, at least she wouldn't be as cowardly as before.
Emperor Tianwu ordered people to bestow a seat to the Zong Sui prince and started chatting with him about daily life. On the other side, Feng Yu Heng was rushing out of the palace with Huang Quan.
Huang Quan couldn't figure it out, "Miss, when did we hide a knife in our carriage?"
Feng Yu Heng whispered, "There isn't any in the carriage. The saber is with me. It's just that it's not convenient to take it out in the palace. Let's go to the carriage for a while and then we can come back."
Huang Quan was speechless, "Miss, you're rushing to bring a knife into the palace?" So awesome.
Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "In any case, no one is investigating. What if there's a palace coup at any time? I'm just protecting myself." Palace coup always came out of nowhere. Wasn't that how it was portrayed in TV dramas?
Huang Quan was completely speechless.
The two walked around the palace carriage as if they were just going through the motions. Then, Huang Quan saw Feng Yu Heng pull out a knife that was half an arm's length from her sleeve.
The corner of her mouth twitched, "Miss, you're not worried about the distance."
The two got off the palace carriage. Because there were palace servants accompanying them the entire way, they had already used the Emperor's token to greet the imperial bodyguards. Thus, Feng Yu Heng valiantly and spiritedly carried the large knife into the palace.
She had brought this knife out from the Marines and had always kept it in the resting room of the pharmacy. It was a long military knife made of high carbon steel.
Speaking of which, the main difference between iron and steel was the difference in carbon content. The higher the carbon content, the greater the hardness. The lower the carbon content, the better the toughness. Pig iron was harder than steel, but the ratio of toughness and hardness of steel was just right. Therefore, in production and daily life, steel was much "harder" than iron.
In the 21st century, most of the cold weapons used in the army were made of high carbon steel and alloy steel. In the current era, it was already extremely rare for Zong Sui to be familiar with the technology of melting steel. But if they were asked to refine high carbon steel, it was not something that could be done within a few hundred years.
Before she came out, she had already carefully looked at those so-called refined iron weapons. Those were just the earliest prototypes of melting iron to make steel. The technology was there, but it was not considered mature. But there were indeed many skilled craftsmen in the ancient times. Even with such immature technology, the steel that was made could be used to make weapons in batches. This made her truly impressed.
On the way back to Jadeite Palace, she was thinking, if she provided the method of making steel, would she be able to find a master in Dashun who was more advanced than Zong Sui to cooperate with her? She could not possibly be asked to personally sit in front of the furnace to make steel, right?
She thought about it all the way back to Jadeite Palace. When the people saw that Feng Yu Heng had returned, they all turned their gazes towards the knife in her hand. The knife was still in its scabbard and did not look very long. Compared to the refined iron weapons that Zong Sui brought, it could only be considered exquisite. This kind of situation where her imposing manner was lowered on the surface made some people feel discouraged. They all started to discuss: "This County Princess Ji An shouldn't be just showing off her ability to talk, right? That kind of thing that a girl uses to defend herself, she still wants to compare it to refined iron? "
But some people also held an opposing opinion: "Not necessarily, the quality of a weapon cannot be judged based on its size. Moreover, I feel that this County Princess Ji An is a girl who hides her abilities deeply. Do you still remember the three arrows that she shot out during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet?"
Once these words were mentioned, the people immediately thought of the shocking three arrows that Feng Yu Heng shot out during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. At that time, she also continuously moved the target further away and everyone felt that she was showing off. They did not expect that after shooting out three arrows, not only did she win the phoenix hairpin, she also obtained the Hou Yi Bow.
"Let's see if County Princess Ji An can turn the situation around! Haha, Old Brother Sun, do you want to make a bet? "
In an instant, the officials started to place bets on the competition between Feng Yu Heng's knife and the refined iron of the Zong Sui prince.
Since it was the new year, even if Emperor Tianwu saw it, he would just chuckle and let the people be happy. But he was very interested in the weapon that Feng Yu Heng brought back.
Feng Yu Heng bowed towards him and raised the military knife in her hand, saying: "This is the weapon that Master gave to Heng Heng for self-defense. Zong Sui named their smelting technique as refined iron. The material of the knife in Heng Heng's hand also has a name."
"Oh?" Emperor Tianwu looked at her with a smile, "What is it called?"
Feng Yu Heng's lips curled up slightly, raising her voice to say: "It is called — — steel!"
Steel?
Everyone was puzzled. They had never heard of such a thing. What was steel? Was it better than refined iron?
Feng Yu Heng turned around and said to Li Kun: "Prince of Zong Sui, if I said that your refined iron smelting technique is already outdated in the eyes of my Persian Master, you would definitely not be convinced. But I have to tell you that this is indeed true." As she said this, she gripped the handle of the knife in her hand and pulled it out forcefully. The long knife was unsheathed!
Everyone felt that the sound of the knife being unsheathed was crisp and pleasant. Looking at the body of the knife, it was so bright that it could clearly reflect a person's figure.
When this thing appeared, even the Prince of Zong Sui was shocked. His eyes widened as he looked at the thing in Feng Yu Heng's hand like he had seen a ghost.
Feng Yu Heng continued: "Currently, most of the weapons used to kill enemies on the battlefield are made of pig iron. A hundred years ago, Zong Sui smelted your pride, refined iron. But today, I will tell you that the so-called refined iron is only the initial model of steel. It is also the limit that people can achieve when they have just comprehended this technique. And the steel in my hand is the product of a realm that you refined iron cannot even dream of reaching. "
The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly moved and rushed towards those refined iron weapons. When she got close, she stretched out her knife and flicked the bottom of the trays that the attendants were holding. All the weapons were flicked into the air by her.
Everyone was shocked and instinctively dodged backwards. Even the Emperor had a number of hidden guards protecting him appear at his side in an instant.
But Emperor Tianwu snorted angrily: "All of you retreat for Us! Do not block Us! "
The hidden guards disappeared in a flash and at this moment, they saw Feng Yu Heng raise her arm and slash at the refined iron weapons in the air.
The knife in her hand rose and fell. Two refined iron swords, three refined iron knives and two refined iron hooks were all broken into two by her.
As the refined iron weapons fell to the ground with a clatter, the Prince of Zong Sui could not withstand the shock and fell to the ground with a plop.
His refined iron, the glory of their Zong Sui for a hundred years, was actually ….. wasted just like that?
Impossible!
He suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the thing in Feng Yu Heng's hand, completely unable to accept this reality.
On the contrary, in the entire hall, including Emperor Tianwu, all the Dashun people let out thunderous cheers at the same time. Even Feng Jin Yuan was unable to hold back his excitement, as he stood up with everyone else. Facing his second daughter, he repeatedly shouted: "Good! Good! Good! "
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng was a goddess of war in everyone's hearts. Many years later, when someone drew her valiant figure based on their memories, they would still feel a surge of emotion, sighing that she was a woman that could shock the world.
Xuan Tianming clapped along with everyone else. He always knew that his wife was a deity. Xuan Feiyu called her deity sister very clearly. Feng Yu Heng was a deity, a deity that he picked up in the mountains of the Northwest who had fallen to the mortal world!
The cheering continued for a long time and when it finally calmed down slightly, Emperor Tianwu asked in a clear voice: "Prince of Zong Sui, do you admit defeat?"
What else could Li Kun say? The shards of refined iron on the ground constantly reminded him that Zong Sui had lost. In front of the large country Dashun that occupied the largest piece of land in the central plains, Zong Sui had suffered a crushing defeat.
He was also a man. After the shock, he accepted his loss and stood up from the ground. First, he bowed deeply to Feng Yu Heng to express his admiration, then he turned around and said to Tianwu: "This lowly prince has lost. This lowly prince represents Zong Sui in withdrawing the marriage request and does not dare to covet Your Highness Prince Chun's deity beauty. I also promise that my Zong Sui will remain loyal to Dashun for generations and will never betray you."
"Good!" Tianwu was overjoyed and immediately promised Zong Sui many benefits.
Diplomatic relations between two countries were like this. Even if the other party was a subordinate country, intimidation was one aspect, the other aspect was to give sufficient benefits. Only like this could the other party follow you wholeheartedly.
And Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to solemnly express her stance to Tianwu and the officials: "Heng Zheng is willing to present the method of making steel to Father Emperor and personally supervise the craftsmen in smelting pure steel. The weapons made will be tested in the Northwest Army. After ensuring success, they can be used in the army on a large scale and display the military might of Dashun. "
Tianwu took a deep breath. The officials had just stood up but before they could sit down, Feng Yu Heng's words caused their hearts to surge once again.
General Ping Nan even walked forward emotionally, bowing deeply to Feng Yu Heng.
How could Feng Yu Heng accept this and quickly went to support him. But Emperor Tianwu said: "Just let him bow. As someone who has led soldiers for their entire life, this is the day that I have been waiting for. In the past, my Dashun could not even make iron essence and that was already a great regret. Now that he has obtained your method of making steel, if he does not bow to you, I'm afraid that he will have nowhere to vent his emotions. "
General Ping Nan nodded repeatedly. At this time, the group of military generals also gathered around. Everyone seemed to have agreed on this beforehand, bowing deeply to Feng Yu Heng in unison: "County Princess Ji An's kindness, we will never forget it! County Princess Ji An's kindness, we will never forget it! "
