At midnight, the guards brought people to capture Ou Yezi, who was still sleeping.
Ou Yezi's clothes were tattered but clean. His hair was white and his eyes were small. He had a pair of young men with him.
Moxie was 18 years old this year, and he was very pretty. His hair was draped over his shoulders, and he looked like a big sister next door.
[System Notification: Swordsmith Mo Xie is S-rank beauty.]
The general stood in front of Moxie and stared at Li Yunhao warily. He was Ou Yezi's adopted son, and he was 19 years old this year.
Ou Yezi's family of three was caught and thought to have broken the law.
"I don't know what kind of law this old man has broken, but the Mayor caught me and my two sons in the middle of the night and brought us here. I'm just an old man who makes and grinds kitchen knives.”
Li Yunhao shifted his gaze away from Moxie.
"Master Ou Yezi, don't be modest. It's a pity that the founder of swordsmithing is sharpening a kitchen knife.”
Ou Yezi was shocked. No one should know his identity as the founder of swordsmithing.
Half a year ago, Ou Yezi was sent to the Great Tang by a spiritual light when he was helping the King of Yue forge a weapon. Now, Ou Yezi was a kitchen knife blacksmith.
"Sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else. This old man doesn't know how to forge swords.”
"Make 300 steel Tang swords in a day, or your head will fall to the ground," Li Yunhao said directly.”
Ou Yezi immediately retorted," The standard Tang Dao weighs 2.9 jin, the plain Tang Dao weighs 2.7 jin, and the luxurious Tang Dao weighs 4 jin. 300 Tang Dao require at least 800 jin of refined steel. No one can make them in a day."”
Li Yunhao patted Ou Yezi's shoulder.""Ordinary blacksmiths wouldn't notice the size and weight of military swords.”
Ou Yezi had carelessly let it slip. Li Yunhao was right. Ordinary blacksmiths would not pay attention to the detailed data of weapons.
"Lord Prefect, please be magnanimous. Putting aside whether this old man knows how to forge swords, it's really impossible for me to make 300 Tang Swords in a day.”
Li Yunhao gave way to Ou Yezi's warehouse.""Master, don't refuse. Look at the furnace behind you. You can produce liquid steel by throwing metal ores into it.”
Ou Yezi cautiously walked into the warehouse. When he saw the metal furnace, he was instantly shocked.
Li Yunhao went into the warehouse and asked the guard to pick up a piece of iron ore and throw it into the feeding hole.
He pressed the liquid button on the touch screen, and the device started automatically. A pool of red molten steel flowed out.
Ou Yezi's gaze was like an otaku looking at a top-notch sports car. His entire body was stuck to the metal wall of the furnace.
"Such a big furnace can instantly produce molten steel and even filter out the excess stone. It's simply a masterpiece! I, Ou Yezi, have lived for 60 years and have never seen…"
Ou Yezi wished he could become one with the furnace.
"If you can forge 300 steel Tang swords in a day, the right to use this equipment will belong to you, Ou Yezi," said Li Yunhao.”
Ou Yezi could not believe his ears."Lord Prefect, you can't go back on your word.”
" Yes." Li Yunhao nodded." From now on, all the metal tools in Jade Gate Pass will be forged by you."”
Ou Yezi rolled up his sleeves." I'll start making steel knives for you now. Gan Jiang, come over and help me make the grinding tools. Moxie, put the raw materials into the furnace."”
Ou Yezi was so excited that he couldn't sleep even if he went home now.
He tried to control the furnace to refine molten steel like a big child.
The general reluctantly helped to make the mold for the Tang sword. The master and disciple divided the work to forge the Tang sword.
In the blink of an eye, he made his first pure steel Tang Dao. The smelting speed was ten million times faster than hammering and burning iron. It was very easy to make 300 steel knives in a day.
The general noticed that Li Yunhao's gaze was constantly wandering around Moxie, and he would occasionally turn around to glare at Li Yunhao.
In history, Gan Jiang married Ou Yezi's daughter, Mo Xie, and Mo Xie helped Gan Jiang forge a sword by jumping into the furnace.
Li Yunhao ignored the general's gaze and continued to stare at the delicate Moxie. Li Yunhao ordered the guards to prepare tea for Ou Yezi and his disciples to quench their thirst.
Ou Yezi was immersed in the world of forging weapons. He forgot himself and forged the Tang saber.
Li Yunhao hoped that Ou Yezi would live a long life. If he died suddenly on the forging table, it would be a loss for Jade Gate Pass.
Mo Xie's fragrant sweat seeped through his thin clothes. An 18-year-old woman was already the mother of a child in ancient times, and Mo Xie was still unmarried.
Li Yunhao walked over and handed her a towel.""It's really hard for girls to make iron. Wipe the sweat off your head. If you catch a cold, you'll have to take medicine.”
Moxie took the towel with a red face. She had never used such a good towel to wipe her sweat."Thank you, Mayor. The towel is stained with sweat. I'll return it to you after I wash it clean.”
"You don't need to wash," Li Yunhao said with a smile."Your sweat smells good."”
Moxie's face was so hot that he didn't dare to raise his head. This was the first time he had heard a boy say such sweet words.
Moreover, Li Yunhao was more handsome than Gan Jiang. He was also the prefect of Jade Gate Pass. He had power, influence, and money. If he could return to the prefect's manor with him, he would not have to live a miserable life in the wind and the open.
"Do you have any ironware that needs to be repaired?" Mo Xie asked. I don't know anything else but repairing iron.”
Moxie was a smart woman, and Li Yunhao naturally couldn't let her down.
"There's a large pile of broken ironware in the prefect's kitchen.”
Mo Xie walked to Ou Yezi's side and said,"Father, I want to go to the prefect's mansion to help repair the ironware, is that okay?"”
Ou Yezi was so focused on making the steel knife that he didn't have the time to bother with Moxie. He waved his hand to let her make her own decision."I'm busy. If the mayor needs your help, go help him.”
Mo Xie nodded his head subtly.”
Li Yunhao called out to the two guards." The two of you, throw stones into the furnace and learn some skills from Master Ou Yezi."”
Li Yunhao held Moxie's hand and left the warehouse.
The general was not feeling good. He watched as Moxie, whom he had been in love with for many years, was taken away by Li Yunhao. He punched the touch screen of the furnace and tapped on the mixed metal.
Ou Yezi stared at the exit and saw molten steel of a different color flowing out of the furnace, casting an alloy Tang sword.
