Chapter 249: The Bare-Chested Man

    

stronger, he can endure any hardship! Isn't that right, Yisheng"Wing Sheng, suddenly called out, raised his head and looked at Qin Luo Yan, then at Jin Mu, before solemnly nodding.Jinmu saw that both...Traditional long whips, commonly made of coarse ropes, are sometimes crafted from tough animal sinews. Legend has it that the most elite whips are made from specially processed fur. However, on Qin Luoyan's blueprints, what is depicted is a whip made of metal.

Metal is hard and has never been used to make a whip because whips rely on flexibility and pliability. Using metal for a long whip would be unthinkable.

If that were all, it certainly wouldn't cause Zhou Li to show such a shocked expression. What was most shocking on the drawing was the design of the whip. It resembled a snake, made of thin metal plates as thin as cicada wings, connected together piece by piece. Such whips linked together had both flexibility and resilience, and they also had sharp edges like swords, completely refreshing his understanding of whips.

"This, this was really thought up by the Madam" Zhou Li couldn't quite believe it. If something like this were to hit the market, it would surely drive every whip user crazy.

Qin Luoyan didn't beat around the bush and immediately nodded, giving him a positive answer, "However, although I have the blueprints, the metal is not very suitable. I don't know what kind of metal materials you have here. The metal sheet used for this whip needs both hardness and certain ductility, otherwise, with one swing, the long whip might be damaged."

Zhou Li's mood was still in a state of excitement, he just kept staring at the design drawings, constantly exclaiming with "good" . After hearing Qin Luo Yan's words, he smiled and said: "My lady, rest assured, Zhou Li has been working in this line for many years, I have some understanding of the material of each kind of metal, and I have also collected some samples. If it is convenient for my lady, I can immediately take you to choose the materials."

He said so, but his gleaming eyes betrayed his eagerness. As a craftsman, to have the opportunity to witness the birth of such a legendary weapon was incredibly exciting. He couldn't wait to throw himself into the workshop and start making the whip, but Qin Luoyan being the consort of the Martial Proclamation King meant she wouldn't act so casually like an ordinary person. So he hesitated to voice his true thoughts.

Who knew, Qin Luoyan heard this and immediately nodded, "Time is of the essence, then let's go and see the samples you've collected right away. Although we can do a rough screening, to truly make weapons, it requires constant practice and refinement. We need to make each selected sample one by one, and finally choose the most suitable material for making the long whip."

Her words once again made Zhou Li admire her. To be able to say such things, she must be someone who knows what they're talking about. Qin Luo Yan is young and a woman, yet she has this kind of insight, she must have accumulated experience through years of weapon making.

After making arrangements, Zhou Li took Qin Luo Yan to the Royal Armory to select materials for her sword. As a female member of the household, Qin Luo Yan was not comfortable going out alone, so Mu He and Zi Su accompanied her.

The weapons workshop of the Wuxuan Royal Mansion was not within the Wuxuan Royal Mansion itself, but in a special courtyard in Fengqicheng. After half an hour's ride in a carriage, several people arrived at the weapons workshop.

Zhou Li and Mu He rode in one carriage, while Qin Luoyan and Zi Su rode in another. After Zhou Li got out of the carriage, he respectfully said to Qin Luoyan, "Please wait a moment, madam. The armory is rather messy. I'll go in first and prepare for your arrival so as not to offend you."

"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. I used to work in a weapons workshop for a long time, so how could I not know what it's like" Qin Luoyan smiled and, with Zi Su's help, got out of the carriage.

But when she said this, Zhou Li and Mu He exchanged glances, both seeming to show surprise. Especially in their eyes, there was a look of wanting to say something but not daring to.

However, Qin Luoyan's doubts didn't trouble her for long. When Zhou Li pushed open the courtyard door, she understood what Zhou Li meant.

It was the busiest time of afternoon. Inside the courtyard, sounds of clanging metal echoed around. The courtyard was vast and open, like a gigantic football field. On it stood outdoor boilers and pools, each covered by shelters from the rain. Beneath each shelter, several shirtless men were smashing weapons.

Those men were each muscular, with visible veins bulging in their arms when they lifted the hammers. It gave off a wild and masculine feel. Qin Luoyan was a modern person after all. Though surprised by this scene, she wasn't entirely uncomfortable. After all, wearing a bikini was commonplace in modern times, so what was a few dozen shirtless men

However, there were not only Qin Luo'yan but also Zi Su among the women on the battlefield. Zi Su screamed and covered her eyes, retreating in embarrassment. Her face was filled with grievance, as if she had been insulted.

She sent Mu He out to keep Su Zi company, while she herself prepared to enter the courtyard with Zhou Li. It was her oversight; her impression was still stuck in the modern weapons workshop, where all her colleagues wore professional bombproof suits. She had forgotten that this was the era of cold weapons in ancient times.

"Madam…" Zhou Li saw that Qin Luoyan's face was still normal, and he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. However, he didn't dare to look at her eyes any longer, and suddenly roared at the crowd in the courtyard: "Everyone stop, go back to your rooms and put on your clothes before coming out!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and saw the several people standing at the door. One of them was a stunningly beautiful woman. Though everyone else were burly men, their faces flushed red with embarrassment. Most of them put down their tools and went back inside to change clothes.

Right in front of the door, a man in his thirties was not satisfied. He shouted at Zhou Li at the entrance, "Mr. Zhou, we are all blacksmiths. When we forge iron, it's hot and tiring, and we have to wear clothes. Isn't it suffocating Where did you bring these young ladies This place is for women"

“Be quiet! Have some manners, this is the side consort!” Zhou Li wished he could cover the blacksmith’s mouth. Normally, when speaking with other noblemen, there weren't as many concerns, but in front of Qin Luo Yan, it made people blush a bit.

"Side Princess" The blacksmith was taken aback. Though he no longer spoke rudely, his face clearly still held a disapproving expression. He muttered a few words, too quietly for anyone to hear, but his turning away carried a hint of anger.

Zhou Li quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Your Highness, please don't mind him. That's just how he is. He's a good person, and he's really skilled at blacksmithing. No matter how difficult something is, he can make it work perfectly. He's just a bit arrogant because of his talent, so his words might come across as a bit harsh."
