The Empress’s Gigolo

In the East China Sea, an old man in Tsing Yi stopped outside a small fishing village. The old man had no long thing, except that a flute was stuck in his waist, and an altar of wine was carried in his hand.

Looking at some dilapidated villages, the old man's eyes are full of emotions and nostalgia, and there are memories of the passing years.

In a flash, so many years passed.

"I'm afraid that in a few years, this village will no longer exist."

The old man stood outside the village for a long time, turned and walked towards a nearby grove, but stopped just a few steps.

"Come out!" Said the old man.

As the old man's voice fell, two men in coarse clothes came out in the woods in front, with the same face, the same height, a strong body, a bald head, and a rustic look. Looking at the face alone felt like The simple man in the mountain is average.

However, the long sword on his shoulders filled the two with a killing breath.

"The eighth in the world, Lu Pinghai, my brother and I have been waiting for a long time." The two spoke at the same time, his voice snoring slightly.

Lu Pinghai looked at the two, frowning.

The ancients rarely appeared in several other countries. They ran here specifically and did not know whose life was served.

"Your Majesty said, I want to exchange a Lingyuandan with you, the conditions are with you." The two continued.

really.

Lu Pinghai was surprised, it turned out to be Qi Zixiao.

"Tell Qi Zixiao, the old man has nothing to want, you go back." Lu Pinghai shook his head.

"Your Majesty said, if you don't agree, you will find you in person." The two said, the Emperor's words were that if you didn't give it, he would kill you.

However, if he said so, Lu Pinghai was afraid to turn his face on the spot.

No matter how much it is the eighth in the world, how can other people be so threatened.

"Then let Qi Zixiao come to me." Lu Pinghai laughed, and walked directly past the two, without even glancing at them.

Although Qi Zixiao is the fifth in the world, and there is a red martial art in the ninth in the world, he doesn't have to be afraid of them.

As the eighth in the world, I definitely have my own confidence. Never played, who knows what will happen?

Qi Zixiao turned out to be seventh, didn't he kill the fifth flower scattered?

Do you have no hole cards at all?

"Lu Pinghai, do you really want to offend our lord for a spirit Yuandan?" The two turned and their hands were already on the sword.

"Although Qi Zixiao is terrific, she does not want her husband to let her own things in a word. For Qi Zixiao's sake, let you two leave, don't know life or death." Lu Pinghai snorted, his sleeves turned Swinging behind him, the sleeves stretched a few meters like a spirit snake and rolled directly on the handles of the two.

"Oh!" The two men's long swords came out of the sheath and chopped down the sleeves, not enough that there was a sudden strong push on the sleeves, and the two long swords cut directly at the two men's necks.

"Roar!" Both men bowed their heads at the same time, and the two knives staggered towards each other's sleeves on the handles of the other, then chopped directly.

The sleeve loosened the handle like a living creature, and hit them **** the chests. They couldn't stop moving backwards. They stopped walking after exiting seven or eight steps.

"Well?" Lu Pinghai gave a soft sigh. Even the masters who had just entered the **** wheel could not take the blow, let alone hit them directly on the chest, they could still stand there.

Just two people sent out have this strength, the ancients are really many masters.

"It's not easy to practice. I'll let you go today." Lu Pinghai left a sentence, and his body did not enter the forest.

The two looked at each other and turned away.

Since they were not his opponents, they had to go back and tell the general what Lu Pinghai had refused.

Lu Pinghai entered the forest, went straight to his body, and finally sat down on an open field.

My old friend has lived here for decades, and now even the head of the grave is missing.

But that's fine, no one is bothering him.

He knew where he lived with his eyes closed.

"I'm coming back to see you again ..." Lu Pinghai opened the wine gourd, took a sip, and sprinkled it on the ground.

...

Ren Baqian looked at the silver mirror in his hand, and then looked at a few craftsmen and Jiaozuo in front of each other with expressions of inviting expressions. Smarter than you! "

Heirou Lang is the name of a wild boar.

"Two days!"

Ren Baqian squinted his eyes at the answering craftsman.

"Just for a black-faced man, these things can be made in two days."

Several people pulled their heads down and listened in silence. A row of tall and powerful men stood with their heads down, standing like a wall.

Ren Baqian Xu Sui had a long time, and finally said: "Everyone rewards twelve, and the monthly increase is one level."

Although these people are stupid and hopeless, they managed to do it. You should scold, you should scold.

"Master Xie!" The crowd immediately smiled.

Twelve silver coins topped their monthly routine for more than two months, and the monthly routine was increased by one level, which was a lot of money.

"Let's go down." Ren Baqian let the craftsman go down first, and then gave Jiaozuo what he would do next.

At this time, the most important is the concave mirror and the flat mirror, which are used to make solar furnaces. After these things are completed, the Damoshan Iron Mine is solved, and then the caravan can be used to sell money to other countries.

For the next period, Ren Baqian went to the glass factory every morning, returned to the palace at noon, and practiced martial arts in the afternoon.

After the glass and silver plating was resolved, a lot went smoothly. Although the current production speed of the glass factory is not fast, it is much faster than it was at the beginning. The material ratio is also currently found, and the number of problems is getting less and less. The concave mirror and silver made a week later. The mirror is already full of two rooms.

Next, Ren Baqian took someone to make square shelves with wood and rattan every day in the glass factory. The shelves were also concave.

Then the mirror is fixed on it.

A few days later, at noon, a convoy of hundreds of people came out of Lancheng and went straight to the glass factory outside the city.

But instead of entering the newly built brick house, he went to an open space next to the glass factory.

At this time there was a wooden platform standing on top of it, and a huge shelf six meters high and twelve meters wide stood on the platform. A concave mirror was fixed on it, and a white dangle was seen in the distance. People cannot open their eyes, and many people put their hands on their eyes to block the white light.

The emperor came down from the car, and behind them were Shi Qing, Discount Hai, Tu Wan, Tong Zhenye, Qin Chuan, and so on. Anyone who was okay was pulled by the emperor.

Everyone also guessed that the emperor called out so many people, what was it to see?

At this time, when I saw the tall frame and some twisted scenes reflected in the concave mirror above, Shi Qing, Discount Sea, Tong Zhenye, and others immediately knew what it was, but it was actually made, but I didn't know Not like Ren Fuzheng said, if it is, it is a great joy.

The others were looking at the large mirror in front of them with a novel look.

"Is that a mirror?"

"I don't know what it was made for. It doesn't look like a bronze mirror, but it is so bright."

"But it doesn't look right, you look at the stones in the mirror, they are all deformed."

"Hey, look at the man in the mirror, he's so short, he laughed at the old man."

The empress looked at a large mirror in front of her, looked at it for a moment, and then said to Ren Baqian, "It can begin."

Ren Baqian's expression was very relaxed. After so long, he finally made it. It's time for the show.

Hope the idiots don't mess it up.

As he greeted him, thirty of the guards responsible for his arrangement ran to one side and took out thirty mirrors two meters long and one meter high, and then laid them down on the floor facing the shelf.

Then someone lifted a four-meter-long iron bowl with a thick mouth and stood on the ground.

Ren Baqian walked in front of the thirty flat mirrors, adjusted the angle of one of them, reflected the sun's rays on the concave mirror on the shelf, and focused on the upper end of the iron pillar after the concave mirror focused.

As he adjusted his angle, others began to adjust with his movements. Ren Baqian helped everyone adjust the mirror from time to time.

At first, many people put their eyes on him, but as the empress and Shi Qing and others are staring at the top of the iron pillar, more people cast their eyes on it, wondering in their hearts, what can they see? .

But immediately, they were shocked.

The top of the iron pillar suddenly burst into flames for no reason.

You must know that this is an iron pillar, and no one is blind. Judging from the steps and standing up of the iron pillar, it must be an iron pillar. But how could an iron pillar catch fire?

What surprised everyone even more happened. The top of the iron pillar was not only catching fire, but also melting, and the dark red molten iron flowed down the column.

Soon, the top of the iron pillar was missing.

Not only those who met for the first time were shocked, even Shi Qing and others were surprised.

Last time it was just a disc that burned a hole in the steel knife.

Nowadays, the iron rod with the thickness of the bowl is directly melted, which is more than ten times more difficult.

So when they saw the effect in person, several people were shocked.

"The old minister congratulated his Majesty and congratulated me on it, and Ren Fuzheng made it a great achievement. In one hundred years, I have no worries about iron deficiency in ~ 100.

As he spoke, everyone reacted and said something to Her Majesty.

Although they did not know what was going on, one thing was clear, the thick iron pillar of the bowl was directly melted.

Well, the Damoshan Iron Mine will soon have a continuous stream of refined iron ore mining, and no longer need to be trapped in a shortage of ordnance. This is indeed a happy event, a great event.

The biggest hero in the matter is eight thousand, which has also raised some positions in the hearts of many people.

His Majesty previously said that he would let him run a school. Talented disciples in the family could be sent in. Many people did n’t take it seriously, and many people did n’t even think about it.

His Majesty asked later, and said that although the disciples at home had insufficient talents, they could practice martial arts with one heart.

But for now, this person really has some skills.

Talented disciples at home might as well send it to see what they can learn.
