Chapter 75 Fire

The knives forged by Bai Zhong were undoubtedly used in the military and could not have been spread among the people.

When the forging method was explained just now, Wu Luo had been watching from the side. Only now did he realize that he seemed to know some secret. Although Bai Zhong didn't say anything, sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

"If Mr. Wu Zhuang doesn't tell anyone about it or build it in private, he will soon forget everything."

Bai Zhong is not worried that Bai's method of making steel will be leaked, and it will only be a matter of time before the public gets hold of it.

Wu Luo is still very loyal to Ying Zheng now, and will not take the initiative to leak it, let alone build such a weapon secretly, unless he wants to seek death.

Under Ying Zheng's command, there was a group of people who were similar to spies and Jinyiwei. Bai Zhong remembered that they were called Heibingtai. If Wuluo made any unusual movements, they could be easily caught by Heibingtai.

But Wu Luo must not let Wu Luo know about the manufacturing technology of the crossbow provided by the system.

Bai Zhong proposed Bai Steelmaking and asked Wu Luo to borrow craftsmen, mainly to make horizontal knives and obtain a large amount of coal and iron ore. The making of bows and crossbows needed to be handed over to the military.

By then, coal and iron ore will be readily available, so there is no need to fiddle around, just ask Wuluo for them.

"General Bai is right. If I sleep tonight, I will forget everything."

Wu Luo said assuredly.

They returned to the ranch first, and Bai Zhong said goodbye and returned to Xianyang.

"My beloved is finally back."

Zhou Yu greeted him happily when he saw him.

When Bai Zhong went to the military camp, it usually took him several days to come back. She had to wait for several days.

Now considered a newlywed, Zhou Yu can often feel the pain of lovesickness and waiting.

Bai Lan often took her to play at the neighbor's wife's house, but she was also absent-minded. Her heart was all about Bai Zhong, and she was teased by the lady for a while.

"It's my fault for letting you wait for me at home."

Bai Zhong hugged her lovingly and touched her little nose.

Zhou Yu whispered: "My beloved, you work hard for our family. Thank you for your hard work."

"And me?"

Bai Lan came over at this time and said with a smile: "It's very hard for me to accompany Sister Qiu at home every day."

Seeing Lan'er like this, Zhou Yu smiled lightly.

Lan'er is lively and cute, and Yu'er is gentle and generous. Their personalities are completely different, but they can become good friends.

Bai Zhong knocked his sister on the forehead and said, "You know how naughty you are. Have you often taken Yu'er to see that lady recently?"

"yes!"

Bai Lan nodded slightly: "Madam and I are already good friends, and Madam also likes Aunt Qiu very much."

Zhou Yu agreed: "That lady is really nice."

"If she dares to bully you, just tell me."

Bai Zhong warned.

"I won't bully you!"

Bai Lan shook her head and said, "Madam is very good. She even told Aunt Qiu what she should do to conceive a child..."

"Lan'er!"

Zhou Yu's face instantly turned red and he quickly covered Bai Lan's mouth.

How could you say something so embarrassing like this?

Definitely not.

"You're not old, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Zhong blamed him.

It's getting late now, so let the chef prepare dinner.

night.

After bathing.

Bai Zhong just returned to the room and saw Yu'er coming towards him and throwing herself into his arms, her body feeling slightly warm.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Zhong felt her body temperature rise and worried that she had a fever.

Zhou Yu said shyly: "I'm fine, I just thought... what my wife told me, the child..."

All she could think about now was how to conceive a child.

It has been almost a month since they got married, and her stomach has not moved. In addition, she heard the method from the neighbor's wife today. Although she is very shy, the more she thinks about it, the more her body heats up, and she can't help but hug her husband tightly.

Bai Zhong lowered his head and looked at her, and asked with a smile: "So what does Yu'er want to do?"

Zhou Yu wanted to say it, but was embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he came close to Bai Zhong's ear and whispered something softly.

"I listen to Yu'er."

Bai Zhong raised his hands and hugged her back to the couch.

Zhou Yu looked at her husband lovingly, and suddenly felt that her whole heart was about to melt. Her body went limp, and she quietly closed her eyes, looking like she was letting him take whatever he wanted.

"Silly girl!"

Bai Zhong pinched her nose, lowered his head and kissed her.



Late at night.

Bai Zhong hugged the exhausted Yu'er and fell asleep. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a loud noise coming from outside.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yu was woken up and said a little tiredly.

Bai Zhong glanced at the window and saw a faint firelight, but the firelight was not very close. It seemed that someone's mansion outside was on fire, not his own. He whispered in her ear: "Take a rest for a while.

I'll go outside and take a look."

After putting on his clothes and going outside, Bai Zhong saw the neighbor's house next to him, which was filled with flames.

"Zijin!"

Bai Zhong shouted.

The housekeeper Zijin already knew what happened, and ran over quickly and said: "General, there was a fire in that lady's house. Many houses were burned down, and they are still putting out the fire."

Bai Zhong urged: "Please ask people to pay attention and don't let the fire spread to our side."

"only!"

Zijin nodded.

"Brother!"

At this time, Bai Lan was also awakened, rubbed her eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Zhong said: "There was a fire in that lady's house."

"What!"

Bai Lan was completely sleepless and hurriedly wanted to go outside.

Bai Zhong knew that this girl had a good relationship with his wife, so he could only follow her out of the door.

The door of the neighbor's mansion had been opened, and many people escaped. There were many slaves inside who kept pouring water to put out the fire, and even some officers and soldiers from the city came.

"lady!"

Bai Lan shouted twice, but no one responded.

After a while, a servant recognized Bai Lan and said, "Miss, my wife is trapped inside. We are putting out the fire and trying to find a way to rescue her."

Bai Lan was very anxious and wanted to help put out the fire, but was stopped by Bai Zhong.

"I'll go in and take a look."

"Brother!"

Bai Lan saw her elder brother walking inside after he finished speaking. She was worried and wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Zi Jin who was following him.

Bai Zhong walked inside, grabbed a slave and asked, "Where is Madam trapped?"

"Middle Court."

The servant responded.

Bai Zhong grabbed a bucket of water from him, wet himself completely, and strode in.

"What are you doing……"

The servant's voice continued to sound behind Bai Zhong, but he did not dare to come in and intercept him.

Bai Zhong quickly walked through the sea of ​​​​fire and came to the middle courtyard. He saw that there were still a few rooms here that had not been spread by the sea of ​​​​fire. Judging from the burning trend of the flames, it seemed that they were burning from the front yard to the back yard.

Due to the special layout of the middle courtyard, it was not immediately covered in flames. Instead, the backyard was burned first.

People who live in the middle courtyard are trapped in it.

Bai Zhong could also see several unconscious slaves lying on the ground, as well as some buckets, and they had splashed all the water in the nearby small pond.

"Madam, where are you from?"

Bai Zhong quickly darted through the sea of ​​fire.

"Here...come...save the madam!"

A faint voice came from the room next to it.

The house was engulfed in flames, burning fiercely, and filled with smoke.
