The two left Yao shi's tent and headed straight for Feng Yu Heng's residence. She anxiously asked Wang Chuan: "Where did the fire in the academy start?"
Wang Chuan said: "It was in the kitchen. It has already been found that the cook was lazy and left the pot dry, causing the fire to start. But at that time, there were a few children who said that they wanted to learn how to make fire and personally make thank you soup. The young master was also inside. "
Feng Yu Heng's heart had already been raised. Hearing that Zirui was also inside, the hope that she had had was completely extinguished. Yunlu Academy had caught fire, and Zirui was in the center of the fire. How could it be a fluke?
"Is he alright?" She asked Wang Chuan, "When did the news come back?"
Wang Chuan said: "The news just came back. It was sent by messenger pigeon. The young master is fine. There are quite a few guards in every part of the academy. When the fire started, those guards carried the children and rushed out. "
She calmed down slightly. It seemed that the other side was just giving her a warning. But this was the first time. There was no guarantee that a second accident would happen soon. After the matter with Yao shi, Feng Yu Heng had been considering whether or not to send people to Xiao Zhou to protect Zirui, but she also felt that Zirui was living in the academy. Sending people over would be disrespectful to the academy. But now, it seemed that disrespect was a small matter. Zirui's life was already in danger.
She raised her head and softly shouted into the air: "Ban Zou."
A figure flashed in front of her and Ban Zou appeared. Without waiting for her to speak, he immediately said: "You want me to go to Xiao Zhou?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Only you can go. If you can't do it openly, you must do it secretly. Ban Zou, if it was anyone else, I would not feel at ease. Either way, I am in the military camp and do not need protection at all. "
"Can you stay in the military camp forever?" Ban Zou looked at her coldly.
She helplessly said: "You can't stay in Xiao Zhou forever. When you go this time, bring along another hidden guard, but remember that you cannot use His Highness Prince Yu's people. Right now is a crucial moment in the production of steel, you definitely cannot allow this matter to distract His Highness. "
Ban Zou thought for a moment, "Then let's bring the person sent by His Highness the seventh prince. How long do you want me to take care of him?"
Feng Yu Heng said, "One month. Once you've settled down at Yunlu Academy for a month, you can come back. That secret guard will be left to Zirui from now on. You must make things clear with him. "
Ban Zou nodded, "Don't worry about that. Since His Highness the seventh prince's hidden guards have been sent here, he has no intention of taking them back. They are all your people. They will protect whoever you want them to protect." At this point, he paused and continued, "Actually, I'm the same. If you really want me to go to Xiao Zhou and never come back, I'll have to do it." After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Feng Yu Heng to speak. In a flash, he disappeared into thin air, leaving behind a sentence: "Take care of yourself. I'll be leaving tonight."
Wang Chuan looked in a direction and stared for a while before suddenly saying: "Young miss should consider changing your hidden guards."
"Hm?" Feng Yu Heng was completely focused on the matter in Xiao Zhou and did not pay attention to what Wang Chuan said. She asked: "What did you say?"
Wang Chuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing. I'm just saying that Ban Zou is becoming more and more unreasonable. How could he allow a servant to haggle over his master's orders."
Feng Yu Heng did not mind this, only saying: "I have never treated you as servants. If you follow me, you are my brothers and sisters. We are family, so it's more comfortable to speak casually." She had no intention of getting entangled in this matter and reminded Wang Chuan once again: "Remember, you must not tell His Highness about what happened in Xiao Zhou. If he knows, he will definitely be distracted. He might even urge me to go take a look. Right now, producing steel is the most important matter. We cannot delay it for even a moment. Do you understand? "
Wang Chuan nodded, "This servant understands." After thinking for a while, he said: "This servant wants to … … go with Ban Zou."
"You also want to go?" Feng Yu Heng was a bit surprised. After thinking about it, the last few times she went to Xiao Zhou, it was Wang Chuan who went. If she could go this time, it would definitely be for the best. Moreover, Wang Chuan had a lot of contact with that child Zirui. It was most likely that he had heard that something had happened over there and was worried. She did not think too much about it and immediately agreed, "Okay, go. Be careful on the road."
"En." Wang Chuan agreed, then reminded her, "Young miss as well. Although there is no need to worry about your safety in the barracks, producing steel is truly too tiring. You must take care of your body."
"I know. Don't worry." While they spoke, the two had already arrived in front of the tent. The bath water had already been prepared. Upon lifting the curtain, a wave of steam wafted out.
But how could she be in the mood to take a bath. Although she sat in the wooden tub, her mind was still thinking about the fire at Yun Lu Academy. Who could it be? Was it Xuan Tian Ye? Or was it Qian Zhou?
Right!
The person that had been leaning against the side of the tub suddenly opened her eyes. Counting the days on her fingers, she feared that the people from Qian Zhou had already arrived in Dashun. From the North to the capital, although Xiao Zhou was not a path that had to be taken, it was not too far away. If a vanguard had taken a detour to Xiao Zhou, it was not impossible.
Currently, there was nothing else that they could do. They could not just bring Zirui into the military camp. In the end, that child still needed to go to school. They could only hope that nothing else would happen before Ban Zou and the others arrived in Xiao Zhou.
She had said that she had come back to rest, but with this sudden news, Feng Yu Heng was unable to sleep soundly no matter what. Tossing and turning, she kept dreaming. At times, it would be Zirui. At times, it would be Yao shi. At times, she would be blaming herself.
Finally, she could no longer continue to sleep. She simply sat up; however, she was still thinking, if she had been a little more lenient with her enemies, would Yao shi and Zirui have been in less danger?
Just as this thought appeared, it was rejected by her. That was impossible. There had never been a situation where people did not offend her and she would not offend them. When had it not been the other side that had taken the initiative to cause trouble? Back when she had just returned to the manor, she had not done anything. Hadn't the Shen Clan encouraged Jin Zhen to use such a dirty medicine to harm Zirui? That was why there was no such thing as taking a step back in this world. If she wanted to live, if she wanted to protect the people at her side, she could only arm herself and continue forward. Enemies could not be avoided. She could only flatten them one by one. This was the path that she should take.
Feng Yu Heng could no longer continue to sleep. She simply got out of bed, changed her clothes, washed her face, and walked towards the furnace.
When she arrived, the young soldier that had been promoted by Xuan Tianming to be the leader was currently teaching people how to operate the bellows, as well as how to control the strength of the bellows. There were over a hundred people around him, and they were all listening to him attentively.
Feng Yu Heng quietly listened for a while and felt that the young soldier was speaking very well. He did not miss any of the key points of the technique. As he spoke, he had people come forward to practice. He also loudly said: "In a moment, each of you will come up and try three times. Four people to a group. Remember who you are in a group with. In the future, it will be fixed. Later, I will ask the general to set up more tents around the furnace. We will all be taking shifts here. Can you endure this hardship? "
Everyone replied in unison: "Yes!"
Feng Yu Heng smiled and did not stay any longer. She turned around and headed towards Xu Tian Cave.
Xuan Tianming was not inside. He must be in Xu Tian Cave teaching the blacksmiths how to make slag. Although Xu Tian Cave was very cold, because of the furnace, the small cave was extremely hot and stuffy. Feng Yu Heng thought that when she had time, she must go to her space to make more popsicles and freeze them in the refrigerator. Otherwise, those old blacksmiths would not be able to endure for a long time.
There were soldiers guarding outside the small cave. As soon as they saw her, they quickly opened the stone door. Feng Yu Heng wiped the sweat that instantly appeared on her forehead and walked in. She saw Xuan Tianming sitting on the ground and seriously teaching the blacksmiths how to make slag.
Now that the most basic part was finished, she heard that it was the part where the slag was produced, so she walked over to listen.
Xuan Tianming saw that she had come back after resting for a while. His brows furrowed and he wanted to say a few words to her, but it was a critical moment in the furnace. He had no choice but to endure and continue talking about the original topic.
Finally, when it was time, he used this time to teach the blacksmiths how to look at the clock that Feng Yu Heng took out.
The clock had already been hung on the stone wall. Everyone could see it if they raised their heads. Xuan Tianming patiently explained the concept of the clock and told them to keep an eye on the time. When there were two minutes left, they had to be ready to open the furnace at any time.
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the clock. Only then did he have time. His hands pushed off the ground and he jumped back into the wheelchair. He then turned the wheelchair to a corner of the cave and waved at Feng Yu Heng: "Come here."
She moved over with a guilty conscience. Without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to say: "I really can't sleep. I took a bath and ate porridge. My body has already recovered."
"How can I be at ease when you're like this?" Xuan Tianming looked at this girl. She wasn't fat to begin with, but she seemed to have lost some weight in the past few days. It made his heart ache.
"You also don't let me be at ease." Feng Yu Heng felt that she was also in the list of people who couldn't be at ease. "You see, I went to rest for a while. What about you? How many nights can you spin like this? "
Xuan Tianming looked at her. His eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of slyness. Then, without saying anything, he turned his wheelchair and returned to the crowd.
Feng Yu Heng didn't understand. What did this mean? The topic ended just like that?
After waiting for a long time, Xuan Tianming really didn't say another word to her. It wasn't until the furnace was finished that he said to the blacksmiths: "This is the principle. You all saw the entire process. Next, you all will do it yourselves. Don't all squeeze in front of one furnace. You all can forge your own furnace and don't be afraid of failure. If you don't have enough materials, you can call the people outside to get more. In short, after mastering the technique, this is a process of practice. You can make as much as you can. "
The blacksmiths and the apprentices were very excited. They agreed and went to find their own furnaces.
Xuan Tianming spread out his hands: "There really isn't a sense of superiority as a prince or general here. These people are completely obsessed with making steel. I'm afraid they don't have much of a concept of power in their hearts. Let's go — — "He pulled Feng Yu Heng's sleeve:" Wife, give me a push. Let's go out. "
Feng Yu Heng made an "oh" sound and pushed his wheelchair out of the cave. At the same time, she discussed with him: "Can we not call each other 'wife'? I still haven't married you yet! "
"You'll have to marry sooner or later." He said matter-of-factly.
"Sooner or later is a matter of sooner or later." Feng Yu Heng pouted and asked him: "You know you're tired! Even a person made of iron wouldn't be able to withstand such continuous work. "
"I've been tired for a long time." He spoke the truth: "But these days, my beloved concubine has been accompanying I to sleep. Now that you're gone, I will be left alone. I won't be able to sleep!"
"Aiyo, this prince, you've spoiled me quite a bit." She deliberately teased him, but her footsteps didn't stop as she walked straight to the bedroom.
Xuan Tianming happily sat in his wheelchair. His smile was so big that Feng Yu Heng could see it just by looking at the back of his head.
"Hey!" She didn't want to, "I say, shouldn't your leg be better by now? I was the one who treated it. If you continue to stay in this wheelchair, aren't you slapping my face? "
Xuan Tianming comforted her: "Beloved concubine, don't be anxious. You don't know, but there are many times when it's not fun to stand up. Or maybe they just like to see I sitting in a wheelchair. It's better to satisfy them for a few more days."
While they were talking, the two had already reached the stone door of the bedroom. Feng Yu Heng's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He was puzzled, "Why aren't you walking?" When he turned around, he found that Feng Yu Heng's complexion was very bad. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What happened?"
