After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped moving.
"Okay, everyone can get out of the car!" Shen Yimin's voice came from outside the carriage.
Hearing this, Su Yun followed the others and bent down to get out of the carriage. Only then did they realize that they had arrived at a mansion. Looking around, they could feel that the mansion was very big, but they didn't know where it was.
It wasn't until several soldiers with spears appeared that Su Yun had an idea, 'Could it be at the prince's residence in Yongze County? '
Suddenly, a man in red armor with an upright face came over, glanced at the casters, and asked: "Shopkeeper Shen, is this all?"
[Character: Yan Mingzhe]
[Realm: Second-rate warrior]
"Yes, Governor Yan, they are all formal casters of my Shen family." Shen Yimin nodded.
The man in front of him is Yan Mingzhe, the governor of the county prince's palace.
Yan Mingzhe nodded: "Okay, that's almost enough."
"Um."
Immediately, Shen Yimin looked at the casters behind him and solemnly reminded: "In the past few days, you must obey Governor Yan's instructions and do whatever you are told. After completing the tasks assigned to you by Governor Yan, I will naturally Coming to pick you up.”
"Okay, shopkeeper." The casters replied in unison, not daring to ask any more questions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Governor Yan's position is not low.
"Administrator Yan, I'll go back first."
"good!"
After that, Shen Yimin, led by an officer and soldier, gradually disappeared from sight.
"Okay, come with me!" Yan Mingzhe looked at Su Yun and others and said calmly.
"yes!"
The casters immediately followed.
Not only Yan Mingzhe, there were many officers and soldiers around them and behind them. Except that they were not wearing shackles, they were basically like prisoners.
Yan Mingzhe took them to a large casting house built in a secluded backyard. It is enough to accommodate more than a hundred people refining weapons at the same time, and there are already dozens of casters inside refining weapons.
"From now on, you will be refining weapons here, with the drawings and requirements beside you. You will rest in the next room at night. We will provide you with three meals a day. Do you hear me clearly?" Yan Mingzhe said expressionlessly.
"Clear, clear!"
The casters responded quickly.
Yan Mingzhe urged: "Then start refining the weapon!"
"yes!"
After the words fell, dozens of forgers each found their place to refine the weapons.
Su Yun walked to the casting platform in a corner, glanced at the drawings placed next to him, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Liannu!"
What they need to refine is the repeating crossbow.
Not only can the continuous crossbow fire arrows continuously, but its power is not weaker than that of bows and arrows. Among arrow weapons, it is relatively difficult to forge. If it is paired with high-quality arrows, it can even easily break through the defense of armor.
In addition, they also need to refine some arrows and weapons required for the repeating crossbow.
A large number of weapons must be prepared for the coming war. It seems that the Wusun Kingdom is really going to attack the border with a large army.
After a while, all the casters became busy and began to refine the weapons. The entire casting room was filled with the sound of knocking.
"Clang clang clang!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for +1 proficiency in "Thousand Hammers"! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host for +1 proficiency in "Thousand Hammers"! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host...]
Su Yun pounded the red-hot iron embryo vigorously and began to make a repeating crossbow.
Whether it is forged here or at the Shen family's blacksmith shop, it is the same for him, and he can gain proficiency anyway.
Every twenty times you beat it, you will gain 1 point of proficiency. Su Yun could also feel the warmth that suddenly appeared in his body, flowing through his bones, tempering them and making them stronger.
noon.
The officers and soldiers brought the food, and after eating and resting for half an hour, they were called to continue refining weapons.
In the evening, meals were delivered again, and the weapons were refined until late at night, before everyone was allowed to rest next door.
When resting at night, Su Yun lay on the bed, thinking that his current situation was somewhat similar to that of when he was in Nanchang City, and he was under house arrest here again. He had no choice but to shake his head and sigh: "Alas!"
Why is he always the one under house arrest?
What a miserable man!
Everyone just stayed in an unknown mansion and continued to refine weapons, and the weapons that were refined every day would be transported away by dedicated personnel, and it was unknown where they went.
The casters are silent about anything and everything in this place. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
[Thousand Hammer Skill: Mastery (320/500);]
Su Yun spent nearly twenty days in it like this. His proficiency in the Thousand Hammer Technique reached 'Mastery', and his strength reached the Bone Forging Realm. Low-grade weapons could no longer damage his body.
Moreover, he personally took down the first-class weapon and tried it. He scratched his arm with a knife. There was only a knife mark on the skin, but no blood oozed out.
At the same time, all the refining materials in the mansion were consumed. The next day, Shen Yimin came to take everyone back, but it was still a closed carriage. I wonder where this place is?
Shen Yimin took everyone back to the blacksmith shop and gave each person five hundred taels of silver. After giving some instructions, he told everyone to go home and not to refine weapons in the past few days.
"You all remember, don't talk about what happened in the past few days everywhere, even to your family. Just say that you work overtime at my place, and don't mention other things, otherwise you will die without knowing. How did you die?"
"Yes, yes! Shopkeeper, we are very strict!"
All the casters nodded in agreement and did not dare to hesitate.
Immediately, Su Yun and others walked out of the blacksmith shop, only to find that the streets in the city had changed drastically, far from the peace and bustle of the past.
There were refugees lying on the ground in ragged clothes and with haggard faces everywhere. The roads were already full of people, and few people dared to come out and wander around.
If you look closely, you can also find that most of the refugees on the street are old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Uncle, please reward me with some money, we are all going to starve to death!"
"Uncle, please! Give me some money!"
"..."
When I saw someone coming out, people on both sides tried their best to beg.
Su Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at the large number of refugees, and sighed in his heart: "It's only been twenty days, how could Yongze County have changed so much?" In the end what happened? '
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair grabbed the corner of Su Yun's clothes and pushed out a girl in tattered clothes. She prayed with red eyes: "Uncle, please, take the child away and give her a mouthful." Just eat!"
"Um?"
Su Yun glanced at the middle-aged woman, leaned down, and asked, "Tell me what happened in Yongze County these days? Why are there so many refugees?"
"Um?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "The Wusun army burned, killed, and looted all the way, and captured several cities one after another. We all escaped from those cities."
"Why are all the refugees on the streets old, weak, women and children?" Su Yun continued to ask.
"From the time we entered Yongze County, officers and soldiers began to arrest strong men. All the men were taken away. Poor my husband, ugh ugh..." After the middle-aged woman explained, she began to sob.
Hearing these words, Su Yun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly realized.
