The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 49: Not only good-looking, but also very sturdy!

The northern Huan delegation has left, and the day of Cloud Zheng's grand wedding is also not far away.

That afternoon, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to help Yunzheng arrange the mansion.

As for how to arrange it, Yunzheng did not understand, nor did he worry about it.

Seizing the opportunity that the former steward had been dealt with by Emperor Wen, Yun Zheng also let Ye Zi temporarily become the steward, which was convenient for him to continue investigating the people in the mansion.

Leaving the matter of recruitment to Du Gui-yuan and the others, Yun Zheng also felt at ease.

Moreover, he cannot be too concerned about this matter.

As he became more and more neglectful, Emperor Wen had more and more trust in him.

Over the next two days, Yun Zheng left early and returned late.

Because Yu Shizhong and Zuo Ren had to follow Du Guiyuan to recruit soldiers, the people protecting Yun Zheng once again became Gao Hao and Zhou Mi.

Now that Zhou Mì's suspicions have been eliminated, he no longer needs to constantly be on guard against the two.

"Ding ding ding..."

In the blacksmith's shop, several blacksmiths are tirelessly swinging their heavy hammers.

Cloud Zheng prayed silently in his heart, hoping this time it wouldn't crack again.

They have been working on forging this small piece of Damascus steel for the gun barrel for several days now, and they have already forgotten how many times they have failed.

This time, it is the most promising attempt.

The gun barrel has been hammered almost enough, but it has not yet cracked.

Under the tense gaze of Yunzheng, the gun barrel was finally forged and reached the most critical tempering stage.

To temper the steel, Yun Zheng indulged in a bit of luxury and acquired some rapeseed oil.

Although it cannot match the performance of professional quenching oil, the risk is still lower than water quenching.

Once the tempering was complete, Yunzheng immediately ran up and joined several sweaty blacksmiths to inspect the gun tips.

"Your Highness, it's done!"

"It's done, it's finally done!"

Confirmed that there were no cracks, and several people shouted happily.

"Very good! His Highness will reward you handsomely!"

Cloud Chime was also very happy and immediately ordered, "Hurry up and sharpen the blade!"

The blacksmiths dare not be negligent. As soon as the gun tips cool down, they immediately start the work of grinding and sharpening the edges.

The blacksmiths took turns grinding it, and after half an hour, they finally completed the task.

Looking at the gleaming gun tip, Yunting's heroic spirit was immediately ignited.

The issue with the craft has been resolved!

As long as they can be mass-produced, when faced with those broken weapons of the Northern Barbarians, won't they be chopped into two pieces in just a few minutes?

Excited, Yun Zheng prepared to take the final step.

Soaked in acid!

Without a dedicated acid soaking solution, white vinegar can be used instead.

As the acid etching progresses, the pattern on the gun barrel gradually emerges.

"What a beautiful pattern!"

"Is this the patterned steel that Your Highness mentioned?"

"This name is indeed fitting!"

"So beautiful..."

A group of people gathered around the blacksmith's shop in awe, with Gao He and Zhou Mi especially wide-eyed with excitement.

If this steel were used to make a knife, it would certainly be extremely beautiful.

They are reluctant to use it to hurt people!

Hearing the gasps of the crowd, Yunzheng couldn't help but purse his lips in annoyance.

A bunch of idiots!

What's the matter!

They also lacked modern equipment.

Otherwise, grandpa will give you a feather pattern, that would be beautiful.

Once I'm free from the control of the Emperor, I must get a Tang Dynasty sword with a feather pattern!

Yun Zheng resolved to act in his heart.

"Boom, boom..."

At that moment, a sound of hooves suddenly rang out outside.

Cloud Chiming looked up and saw that Shen Luoyan had already ridden his horse and was galloping towards him.

The fallen wild goose, although not wearing military attire, has a bold and heroic spirit when sitting on the horse.

This woman!

It's still best when riding on horseback and galloping!

Arriving at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, Shen Luoyan elegantly dismounted with a beautiful pirouette, which made Yun Zheng feel quite displeased.

Show off, you fool!

Your old man didn't have time to practice riding, otherwise he would have easily outshone you, you little showboat!

"You're really here!"

Shen Luoyan stood at the entrance of the blacksmith's shop, silently watching the dirt-stained Yun Zheng.

To be honest, Yunzheng's current appearance is indeed a bit of a mess.

Although he didn't get his hands dirty, the blacksmith's shop was full of dust and unbearably hot, with sweat mixing with the dust and sticking to his face, making him look dirty.

"What are you doing here?"

Cloud Zheng hastily wiped the dust off his face and asked with a smile.

"Shen Luoyan hummed lightly, 'I just went to your manor, and I heard that our sixth prince has been forging iron every day. I didn't believe it at first! So I specifically came to take a look.'"

Blacksmith?

I'm building the technology tree!

You don't know anything!

Cloud Zheng inwardly made a few comments, and asked casually, "How's the preparation going at your place? Is there anything I can help with from my side?"

"Oh, so you know to ask, eh!"

"I thought Prince Six had forgotten about our grand wedding!" Shen Luoyan said irritatedly, looking at Yunzheng

I've never seen a person like that!

Emperor Wen specifically granted him the right to privately recruit five hundred garrison soldiers, but in the end, he did not concern himself at all with the recruiting.

Their wedding is less than half a month away, and he is equally indifferent to the preparations on both sides.

Do you come here every day to do blacksmithing?

What, is he trying to get in shape by blacksmithing?

Cloud Zheng touched his nose, "I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy, haven't I?"

The swallow sighed and said, "You just focus on..."

Halfway through the conversation, Shen Luoyan suddenly paused, his gaze falling on Gao He's hand.

"Huh?"

Shen Luoyan was slightly surprised, and quickly stepped forward, snatching the gun barrel from Gao He's hand.

"This gun is so beautiful!"

Shen Luoyan lovingly caressed the tip of the gun.

That look, it's just like looking at one's own lover.

Cloud Zheng could say for certain that this woman preferred the gun's tip more than she did herself countless times.

"Sixth Prince's Consort, this is the pattern steel that his Highness taught us to forge!"

The blacksmith laughed and said to Shen Luoyan.

"He... teaches you?"

The fallen wild goose looked up at the blacksmith in bewilderment.

"Yes, it was the sixth prince who taught us to exercise."

Another blacksmith also echoed, "Prince Six has been with us these past few days, and he has suffered a lot to produce this patterned steel."

"Oh, Prince Six, your skill in winning people's hearts has really grown!"

"Shen Luoyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Yunzheng, 'Are they afraid that I might think you've been out gallivanting these past two days?'"

"Slacking off?"

"Cloud Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, nodding to himself: 'I should indeed go to a brothel to get a feel for the public sentiment.'"

As a modern person, when traveling to the ancient world, one must try to understand the sentiments of the people

"Hurry up and go! Don't say I'm stopping you."

"Shen Luoyan didn't take it seriously, and lowered the gun barrel again, saying with a half-smile, half-frown: "I'm just afraid that Master Six's body is weak, just like this gun barrel, looking good on the outside but useless inside, a mere ornament.""

What's that?

Embroidered pillow?

"I'll show you that this gun tip is not just for show!"

Cloud Zheng was angry and ordered someone to lift the bayonet, then had Gao He cut it with his saber.

"Ding..."

The tall general swung his sword with a mighty stroke, but the blade was cleaved in two.

The blade at the tip of the gun had only a slight scratch, and it could almost be said to be unharmed.

Seeing this scene, not only Shen Luoyan, but even Gao He and the others were greatly shocked.

Is this patterned steel this hard?

"Did you see it?"

"Cloud Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Luoyan, 'Not only does my gun look good, but it's also very hard!'"
