Chang'an, Luo Mansion, is very lively today with lights and colorful decorations. The servants of Luo Mansion are even more busy, everyone is smiling and seems to be in a happy mood.
In the central hall, a large table was placed with exquisite dishes and fine wines.
Everyone in the Luo Mansion sat around the table, with grandma naturally sitting at the top, and Gao Yang and Mei Niang sitting on both sides of her. Their slightly protruding bellies showed that they were pregnant.
"Today is a happy day for our Luofu family. Zhang'er fought against the Turks in the north and won a great victory. He captured the Turk king! He avenged his uncles!!!" Grandma said excitedly as she picked up the wine glass. The hands and the spilled wine all illustrate grandma’s mood at the moment!
The wives of the Luo family sitting around the table all sobbed after hearing what grandma said.
The uncles Luo Zhang that grandma mentioned were exactly their husbands! Today Luo Zhang avenged their husbands, and they were equally unable to control their emotions.
"Why are you crying? You have to laugh today. This is a great event!"
"Come, raise a glass with me. This is the first toast to my sons who died in battle!" Grandma said, raising the wine above her head with both hands, and then sprinkled it on the ground.
The others also followed Grandma in picking up the wine glass, raised the wine above their heads, and then sprinkled it on the ground.
The drinks were filled by the maids, and grandma raised her glass again: "This second glass is dedicated to my heroic Zhang'er, and I wish him a speedy return!"
After saying that, grandma drank the wine in one gulp!
The people from Luofu naturally followed and drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone's face turned a little red after drinking. After all, they don't drink on weekdays.
In the distance, Wu Shaobin watched all this quietly. In front of him there was also a square table with food and wine. He did not have a banquet with the people of Luofu. That table was filled with women. He was a big man. What are men doing, crying with them?
However, he followed the two toasts that grandma said. Although he regretted not going to the northern battlefield with Luo Zhang, he did not regret it. It was equally important to protect the safety of Luo Mansion. Otherwise, how could Luo Zhang be spared? No worries.
Thinking of the actions of the Changsun family in the past few days, Wu Shaobin felt a little upset.
Just three days ago, a batch of ferrosilicon ore had just been transported from the mine to the smelting site, but it was robbed before it had gone very far.
Not only were the goods robbed, but all the people were also killed, including more than a dozen guards and more than 20 miners.
Although there is no evidence that it was Changsun Wuji who did it, Wu Shaobin could not think of anyone other than him.
And this was just the first batch. On the second day, the same thing happened again. Although one guard was seriously injured and survived, the ferrosilicon ore was robbed again. Two batches of ferrosilicon ore were robbed in a row. This made Wu Shaobin furious. But there was nothing he could do.
If he went to deal with this matter and Luo Mansion only relied on Lai Fengyi to watch, how could he rest assured? He had tried to lure the tiger away from the mountain before, but the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Fortunately, all this will pass and Luo Zhang will come back. When Luo Zhang comes back, I'm afraid Changsun Wuji will have to pay the price!
Just as the Luo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, a manor outside Chang'an City was also very lively. Carriages were parked here in the courtyard, and a young man in coarse linen clothes was carrying things on the carriage.
"Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet? It's so slow, like a snail!" Next to the young men in Mai, there were several big men in black standing, looking at these young men who were a little slow in their movements with impatient expressions. .
At this moment, a richly dressed old man walked out of a house and came to the courtyard.
When those big men in black who were yelling at him saw the old man, they hurriedly bowed and said: "Great Elder!"
The old man nodded, then looked at the things carried by the young men in sackcloth and said, "Are these the last few cars?"
"If I go back to the Great Elder, these are the last few trucks. They are gone after they are unloaded!"
"This boy from Luofu is quite cautious. Not only did he not leave Luofu, but he also stopped the mine from transporting ore. Do you really think that everything will be fine? What a stupid person!" the elder said coldly.
Ordinarily, the great elder should not be here at this time. You must know that the trouble in Changsun Mansion has not been solved. He should find a solution at home.
The city of the Turkic King was breached and the Turkic King was captured. Then the matter of the Five-stepped Snake in the Western Regions that he had previously discussed with the Turkic King would be abandoned. Without the Five-stepped Snake in the Western Regions, his Changsun Mansion would probably not be able to escape destruction after a month. In the end, there was no way to remove the poison administered by the master, even if many famous doctors were consulted, nothing could be done.
But as the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. After the royal city was breached, the hidden stake in Changsun Mansion actually found the Five-Step Snake of the Western Regions. This made Changsun Wuji overjoyed.
The big stone that had been lingering in his heart for so many days finally fell to the ground. No, when the Western Region Five-Step Snake was being transported back, he couldn't help but start attacking Luo Mansion. He also knew that if he didn't do it at this time, It will be difficult to do it when Luo Zhang comes back. That kid is very cunning. After fighting with him so many times, he has never suffered a loss.
If you don't get some ferrosilicon ore for research now, how can you get it when Luo Zhang comes back?
This is also the reason why the Great Elder is in a happy mood and appears here.
After understanding some of the situation, the great elder naturally did not stay here any longer, but went to the middle courtyard, where there was a large furnace. At this moment, a shirtless man was pouring iron ore into the furnace, preparing to smelt pig iron. .
However, it is different from the past. When smelting pig iron, they will add many things to it, and the great elder stands aside and watches quietly. Even though the temperature here is very high, there are fine beads of sweat dripping on his forehead without paying attention. .
"Zizzizi..."
As the smelted pig iron was put into cold water to cool down, the elder's eyes widened.
"Oh, it's useless again!" On the side, a shirtless old man shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Mr. Qian, what's wrong? Is it useless again?" The elder stepped forward and asked looking at the black iron block broken into several sections in front of him.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. With this successful experience, we will know how much silica iron ore to add as long as we try more. Soon, we will be able to create stronger armor and swords!" the shirtless old man said with confidence.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" The great elder breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"It's just the Great Elder. There is not much silica ore left. If we want to find the correct formula, these silica ores are not enough!" The shirtless old man looked at the small pile of silica ore beside him.
"I will solve this matter. You just need to smelt the harder pig iron as soon as possible!" the elder said with a gloomy expression.
