Chapter 380 (2/2)

When she arrived, the soldier that had been promoted by Xuan Tian Ming to group leader was explaining how to work the bellows and how much force to apply. The surrounding 100 soldiers were all listening attentively.

Feng Yu Heng secretly listened for a while and felt that the soldier was explaining it very well. There were no mistakes in the instructions. While explaining, he would call people forward to practice. He also loudly said: “In a while, you will all come forward to practice three times in groups of four. Remember who you will be grouped with. In the future, those will be your set groups. I will go ask the general later to have some more tents set up around the furnace. We will all be working over here, can you handle the work?”

Everyone replied in unison: “Yes!”

Feng Yu heng smiled and did not linger, turning to head in the direction of Xu Tian Cave.

Xuan Tian Ming was not inside the bedroom, so he was definitely with the blacksmiths producing slag. Although Xu Tian Cave was very cold, because there were furnaces in the small caves, it was extremely stuffy. Feng Yu Heng thought about it. When she had some spare time, she definitely had to go into her space and make some more popsicles and throw them into the freezer; otherwise, those old blacksmiths, who were advanced in their years, would not be able to endure.

Outside the small caves, there were guards keeping watch. Seeing her arrive, they quickly opened up the stone door. Feng Yu Heng wiped sweat from her head and walked in. There, she saw Xuan Tian Ming sitting on the ground and carefully explaining how to produce slag.

Presently, the most basic matters had already been talked about. She heard that they were already talking about the composition of the slag that had been poured out, thus she also went over to listen.

Xuan Tian Ming saw that she had only rested for a short while before returning, causing him to furrow his brows. He wanted to say a few words, but this was a critical moment in the forge, so he could only endure and continue speaking about the topic.

Finally, it was the moment that they had been waiting for. He used this short moment to explain to the people how to use Feng Yu Heng’s clock.

The clock was already hanging on the wall, and everyone half raised their heads to look. Xuan Tian Ming patiently explained how to read it. He then told them that they had to keep a close eye on the time. Starting from two minutes out, they had to prepare to take things out at any moment.

Everyone held their breath in concentration, staring at the clock. Only then did find some time. Pushing off the ground with his hands, he lifted off and landed in his wheelchair. He then moved the wheelchair to a corner of the cave and waved to Feng Yu Heng: “Come here.”

She succumbed and went over. Before he could ask, she took the initiative to say: “I really could not fall asleep. I took a bath and drank some congee. My body has already recovered.”

“If you are like this, how can I be at ease?” Xuan Tian Ming looked at the girl. She was not chubby to begin with. Over the past few days, it seemed that she had become even skinnier, and this caused him distress.

“You also do not allow me to feel at ease.” Feng Yu Heng felt that he was quite worrying, “Look, in any case, I went to rest a bit. What about you? Over such a span of time, can you not sleep a little?”

Xuan Tian Ming looked at her, and a sly look flashed through his eyes. Then without another word, he moved his wheelchair and returned to the group of people.

Feng Yu Heng did not understand. What was the meaning of this? The discussion was concluded like this?

After waiting a long time, Xuan Tian Ming did not say a single word. Only after the time was up and a batch of slag was pulled out did he say to the blacksmiths: “This is the process. You have seen the entire process. Following this, you will try it yourself. Don’t keep squeezing in front of the same furnace. Go practice on your own. Don’t fear failure. If there is not enough material, just call for us to get more. Either way, after you get a good handle on the techniques and become used to it, you will be able to make as much as you want.”

The blacksmiths and the apprentices were extremely happy. Giving an agreement, they went to find their own furnaces.

Xuan Tian Ming spread his hands, “Here, there really is no feeling of superiority from being a prince or general. These people are completely interested in producing steel. They do not have much of a concept of power. Let’s go.” He tugged at Feng Yu Heng’s sleeve, “Dear wife, push me, we’re going.”

Feng Yu Heng let out an “oh” sound and pushed the wheelchair out of the cave. At the same time, she began to discuss with him, “Can you not keep calling me wife? I still have not married you!”

“Sooner or later, you will get married.” He spoke as if he took it for granted.

“Sooner or later is still sooner or later.” Feng Yu Heng pouted and asked him, “Know to be tired! Even the blacksmiths cannot handle this sort of workload!”

“I was tired long ago.” He spoke truthfully, “But these past few days, my beloved consort has accompanied this prince to sleep. With you going back, this prince could not sleep alone!”

“Oh, my dear lord, you have become quite spoiled and problematic.” She deliberately teased him; however, she did not stop moving, as she continued toward the bedroom.

Xuan Tian Ming happily sat in the wheelchair. He was extremely happy. Feng Yu Heng could only see the back of his head, but she could still tell.

“Oy!” She became unhappy, “I say, shouldn’t your legs have healed by now? They were healed by me. If you just keep slacking off in this wheelchair, is that not a slap to my face?”

Xuan Tian Ming consoled her: “Beloved consort, don’t worry. You don’t know this, but when I stand up things will not be entertaining, or perhaps they like the appearance of this prince in a wheelchair. How about you allow them to enjoy themselves.”

As they spoke, the two arrived in front of the stone door of the bedroom. Feng Yu Heng suddenly stopped.

He was puzzled, “Why are we stopped?” Turning around, he found that Feng Yu Heng’s expression was extremely unpleasant. He could not help but be shocked and say: “What happened?”
