"Xintiot!" Shui Qingrou said softly.

"Xuan Tie?" Chen Xu thought for a moment and his eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up and laughed, "So that's it. Meteorite is indeed much harder than ordinary steel. A gentle word awakens the dreamer. It's really my good friend!"

"I understand, my wife is talking about your black iron sword!" Fan Caiying also reacted.

"Yes, when Senior Brother Wuya and I went down the mountain, Master gave us a black iron sword. This kind of black iron legend is the residue of the gods in the sky. It was useless and abandoned to the people. When Master was traveling around, he entrusted a skilled craftsman to create these two swords, one big and one small, the one big and the one small, and the one small, and the one small gave me the one small. Last time he was snatched away by Huangshigong, but he was still snatched back by his husband..."

Shui Qingrou stood up and quickly went to his room to get a dagger.

"Chock~" With the sound of the gentle spring bounced open, the water gently pulled out the short sword. The black sword blade flashed with a sharp cold light under the illumination of the fire, and the temperature of the stove seemed to have suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"This black iron sword is extremely sharp and cut iron like mud. Master once said that this black iron is the hardest thing in the world. It took several years to succeed in building these two swords. I only polished them and damaged countless stones. Please see, my husband, there are natural textures on this sword blade, which are almost invincible. I used this sword to cut off the bandit's weapons in Wancheng. If it weren't for this sword, I might have died at the beginning!"

While Shui Qingrou spoke, she handed the Iron Sword of the Meteorite to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu naturally knew about the incident in Wancheng that his opponent was a Xuanwu Guard with great martial arts skills. He was stabbed by Shui Qingrou seven or eight times because he entered the house to steal Shui Qingrou. Although there was no following, he probably died. That time, Shui Qingrou was also severely injured and had been recuperating in Wancheng and Qinghe Town for more than half a year before he recovered.

Time is like flowing water, and five or six years have passed in this blink of an eye.

Chen Xu sighed and looked at the short sword in his hand that was only more than a foot long.

He has seen this sword many times.

Overall, the workmanship of this sword is very ordinary, with copper calyx protection and ox horn handles, and fine twine wrapped around it. The sword body is not smooth and looks a bit bumpy, but it is extremely heavy to buy it. If you look closely, you can see natural patterns like cloud patterns on the blade. It will make you feel dizzy if you see it for too long. This sword fought with people several times in Shui Qingrou's hand, but the blade is still extremely sharp and there is almost no trace of collapse. It can be seen that this sword made of meteorite is indeed much harder than bronze and ordinary steel.

"Husband, this sword is useless at the moment. You can take the tool to make the steel cutting tools in the factory and use them as much as possible!" Shui Qingrou stood beside Chen Xu and said softly.

"No, no, this sword was made by Senior Chisongko at a huge cost. It's a pity to damage it. You'd better put it away as a souvenir. Although this black iron is rare in the world, it's not impossible to find it, and it's not too urgent to use it now. I asked Chen Ping to advertise in the newspaper to collect it for a lot of money, and maybe you can get some soon!"

Chen Xu inserted the dagger back into the scabbard and gently placed it in Shui Qingrou's hand.

"Sister Shui, your husband is right. This sword is given by your teacher. Don't give it up easily. Black iron is not unavailable. I heard that there is it in the palace!" Ying Shiman said.

"Really?" Chen Xu turned his head in surprise and looked at Ying Shiman.

"It should be good. I heard that more than ten years ago, a priest from Yan State came to pay homage to his father and gave him a piece of black iron, weighing nine pounds and nine taels. The father originally wanted to summon famous sword-making masters from all over the world to make a sword, but he still couldn't smel them successfully. Later, there was no more information..."

According to historical records, Qin Shihuang ascended the throne and became emperor, and he obtained the jade from Kunshan, including the treasure of easy-going, the pearl of the bright moon, the sword of Tai'a, and the pearls and treasures of the pearls are all purple gold equipment with extraordinary attributes.

However, after Chen Xu met Qin Shihuang, he found that these were all legends. Qin Shihuang looked frugal on weekdays. He wore silk thread and jade beads. Chen Xu had never seen him pull out the sword. However, the slender scabbard should be a sword passed down from Qin's ancestors. It has symbolic significance. As for whether it is like Taia, who is said to fly sand and stones when he pulls it out, it must be a sharp sword. When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Qin Shihuang used this sword to hurt Jing Ke's thigh and escaped.

In the era when coal has been used to smel metal, it is difficult to smel ordinary iron, let alone melt meteorite. When a piece of iron meteorite passes through the atmosphere, the temperature generated by friction is as high as thousands of degrees. At this high temperature, most of the matter will be vaporized and can be left and fall on the earth. The remaining part is almost the most difficult to melt. Therefore, the hardness of meteorite is also recognized worldwide. It is extremely difficult to make meteorite into a weapon.

Therefore, Chen Xu agreed with Shui Qingrou's meteorite sword that cuts iron like mud, at least it is no problem to cut off the bronze weapon.

It seems that I have to take the time to go to the palace and ask the emperor for a piece of meteorite to make a knife head.

Of course, you can also publish advertisements in newspapers to collect meteorites. Drill bits and cutters on lathes are consumables. Before high-strength alloy steel is refined, the more reserves, the better.

After receiving the reminder from Shui Qingru, Chen Xu was in a very comfortable mood. With the meteorite as the knife head, he could try to drill out the barrel of a few pistols and start developing bullets. If possible, it would not be too difficult to make a few revolvers, so that he would have a stronger self-protection ability in the future.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Chen Xu couldn't wait to get up from the warm bed.

"Husband, it snowed heavily last night, and it was cold today. Why did you get up so early and sleep for a while?" Meng Wan, who was curled up in the quilt, hugged Chen Xu's waist lazyly and acted sleepyly.

"Today I am going to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and see if I can ask for a piece of meteorite!" Chen Xu said while wearing clothes.

Meng Wan had to get up and help Chen Xu get dressed. The quilt covered by her body slid down, revealing a snow-white and smooth body.

"You sleep a little longer and cover the quilt, don't catch a cold!" Chen Xu smiled and helped Meng Wan wrap the quilt, then hugged her in her arms and touched her hands. She only drank Meng Wan's charming eyes like a silky breath and then got out of bed with satisfaction.

However, when Chen Xu pushed open the door with his clothes, his eyes were wide open.

Damn it!

I saw that the yard outside the door was covered with silver, and the thick snow on the ground was at least nearly two feet deep. Three servants were shoveling snow in the yard, and the snow was overwhelming her knees.

The sound of Chen Xu opening the door alarmed the servants, and the three of them quickly put down their tools and bowed together.

"Mr. Marquis!"

"How could it be so heavy?" Chen Xu was stunned for a while before trembling his face and muttering to himself.

"Mr. Marquis, the heavy snow had not stopped last night. It naturally accumulated so thick after a few hours. Marquis would go back to the room and go to bed for a while. I will definitely not be able to go to the court today!" An old servant with gray hair said with a smile.

"Oh!" Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, but now he had already gotten up, and it was no more interesting to go to bed. So Chen Xu knocked on the maid's wing room next to him and ordered him to get hot water to wash his face and brush his teeth.

"By the way, how about the greenhouse? Has it been crushed by snow?" Chen Xu asked while buckled his clothes.

"When I go back to the Marquis, someone has been cleaning the snow on the roof of the greenhouse last night, and the greenhouse has not collapsed!" The old servant quickly answered.

"That's good!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on two clothes in a few seconds. Soon, four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter also brought hot water face towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes. While Chen Xu was washing up, Shui Qingrou came in from the courtyard gate with a sword in a black outfit. There was a hint of redness on her beautiful cheeks and sweat beads on her forehead. She should have gotten up early and was practicing swords.

"Why did you get up so long ago, my husband!" Shui Qingrou hurried forward to help.

"I originally wanted to go to the palace to ask the emperor for a piece of meteorite, but it seems that I can't go. It's cold and freezing. You should wash and change your clothes quickly to avoid getting cold!" Chen Xu said helplessly.

After Chen Xu finished washing up, Shui Qingrou also changed into clean clothes. At this time, Ying Shiman came to greet her with Chen Xi in her arms. After Meng Wan got up, Fan Caiying also dressed in an exquisite mink cloak and came to greet her with several maids. Then a group of women surrounded Chen Xu to the restaurant for breakfast.

"Where is Xing'er and Yu Ji?" After sitting down, Chen Xu found that the two girls were not there.

"I just saw them going to the front yard. It should be because I went to see Tuan Renyuanyuan!" Shui Qingrou personally helped Chen Xusheng come to Xiaomi porridge and said with a smile.

"Husband, it seems that it's impossible to go out today. Will we build a snowman at the door later?" Meng Wan said while eating breakfast.

"good!"

The buns were served with fermented tofu and a few pickles, and then the thick millet porridge cooked. Although it was relatively simple, it tasted delicious. After two buns and a bowl of rice porridge, Chen Xu hugged Chen Xi with satisfaction and accompanied her to the front yard with his wife. Sure enough, he heard the laughter of Xing'er and Yu Ji from a distance. When he arrived at the front yard, he saw two girls running and playing in the snow and rolling back and forth, and several big dogs were also dancing around. The scene was lively.

"Brother, Tuan Luanyuan is crazy, haha, come and save me!" Xing'er rolled in the snow, and Chen Xu's face was so thrusting that she couldn't stop.

"Dad, I want to play with my aunt!" Chen Xi shouted excitedly.

"Well, go!" Chen Xu loosened his hand and put down his daughter, and then the snow fell to his chest. Chen Xi could only turn his innocent little face to look at his father.
Chapter completed!
