Feng Ming woke up early the next morning, his hand touches to the side, the soft bed surface beside him which has long sunk down is still hot, but Rong Tian’s shadow has disappeared. This guy, he is full of energy, it’s like he will never sleep, last night they went until three in the morning, and today he can actually get up earlier than him.

Feng Ming rubs his sore waist and slowly gets up from the bed, he blushes just as he’s seeing Rong Tian’s lukewarm blanket in a daze. His brain opens up more, the more painful his lower body is. Obviously he has been cleaned up by Rong Tian last night, the feeling of a foreign object stuck in his tunnel is still so vivid.

This licentious tyrannical guy …

By the end of the third month, the weather has warmed up and sleeping with Rong Tian was like hugging a stove, not worrying about being scared, the Bottom Feng Ming went with all he got. He’s dragging in the plain robes that he put out aside into the quilt and lazily put it on. This day Rong Hu is responsible for the vigil, he slept all night outside. He always wakes up early, heard the movement inside, he knows Feng Ming is up, he goes in to report, “The Great King went out before dawn, said it is necessary to personally meet that old man for a while. Also he probably come back at midnight”.

Feng Ming also guesses that Rong Tian went out to do his secret business, he nods to express he hears that, and also he mysteriously hooks his index finger to Rong Hu, call Ronghu to the front, he smiles and whispers, “Rong hu, I want to do something with you…”

“Duke Ming is going to say that he wants to go to the outskirt city to see Hong Yu’s work tools, right?” Rong Hu says, “The Great King has commanded his people, saying that today he may as well to allow Duke Ming to go out to relax, but the maids and guards are taken along to avoid him running away alone.”

“That’s all?” Feng Ming overjoyed.

Although his back pain until now, but finally get a day off for vacation!

However, Rong Hu is only the first pass.

There’s still Luo Yun, if there is no Luo Yun’s nod, Xiao family guards will also not let Feng Ming slipping out of the Prince Qing’s pavilion.

“Then you help me find Luo Yun come over, I’ll personally talk to Luo Yun”.

“No need, this subordinate has already spoken to Luo Yun. He said that place is the Xiao family property, it’s also necessary for Young Master to go over to inspect, we have already sent people to the outskirt to see the routes. As long as Duke Ming is ready, he can go out at any time.”

Why does today Rong Hu look so cute! If he’s not afraid of that big jealousy Rong Tian flares up, Feng Ming simply want to hug Rong Hu, for both his sincere loyalty and cute look. Since both levels have been passed, Feng Ming naturally seize his time, he gets out of the bed immediately, call Qiu lan and others for combing and dressing.

Since what happened to the Duke Ming, his freedom was lost.

Even more miserable, since becoming the so-called Xiao Young Master, even the slightest remaining freedom has been taken away.

It can be seen that when the big character has to pay the price, the most devastating price is the freedom. Even breathing fresh air requires the consent of his subordinates.

However, Rong Tian is also a big character, and he’s a Great King, why he can run around casually and sneak in here and there?

That’s too unfair!

When changing clothes, Qiu Yue just arrived in time, holding Feng Ming’s Nanling buffalo leather armor that he tried yesterday, at the door she says, “I knew that sooner or later the Duke Ming will not be able to not make a fuss to go out to play. It’s not in vain I rushed to work in the middle of the night last night, finally get it right in time, Duke Ming quickly put it on to look”. Several maids are helping Feng Ming put the leather armor over the white coat. This set of leather armor is the most comfortable to wear among Feng Ming’s many armor, Qiu Yue also made just the right size, it’s not too tight to wear, and it won’t feel heavy.

The coverage range is from the neck to the lower abdomen, the extended shoulders downwards, all the way to the elbows, the joints are sewn from the smaller buffalo leather, it can be turned around flexibly without making people feel constrained.

After Feng Ming putting on, he moved his hands and feet and repeatedly praises. “I didn’t expect it to be so light and comfortable, but unfortunately the Nanling buffalo leather is too rare, or else each of the Xirei soldiers will be given a set in the future, fighting with the army without armor or heavy armor, surely we will win big in every game.”

Qiu Lan pursing her lips and smiles slightly at the interface. “What does Duke Ming think of? Not to mention this precious Nanling buffalo leather, even if it’s common leather to make a set of leather armor is not easy, the raw materials are expensive and spend a lot effort. How can we make each for the soldiers?

Qiu Xing at the side helping Feng Ming to choose a coat inside a large stack of clothes, also says, “It’s all because that’s person called Wu Qian, since he came, Duke Ming nagging about armor all day long. How to change the raw material all at once, what about the production steps can be improved, uh, it’s all like that. About going out today, is it riding horse or riding a carriage? If you’re taking a carriage, pick a fine small coat, if you’re riding a horse, i think it’s good to pick this piece of water-green color, there’s only one belt tied around the waist, not so adorned with tassel buckles, it’s not easy to get tripped when you get on the horse.”

Feng Ming immediately exclaimes, “of course riding a horse! It’s going to be this water-green color, Qiu Xing your eyes are so good!” He dresses neatly, but the pot of snacks brought by Qiu Lan to make sure he must eat some more before he’s going again.

Feng Ming with bitter face hurriedly stuffed two pieces of snacks and calculate in his mind to make a report of it.

Gets all these done and the long going-out-ceremony is over. Feng Ming is wearing a dress similar to a riding suit and stepping into a pair of small lambskin boots, wrapping the sturdy and beautiful legs and look extraordinarily refreshing.

He led Rong Hu and several other maids who had changed into shorts clothes to came out to meet with Luo Yun.

Arrives at the outside of the Qingfu gate, dozens of tall horses and a large group of Xirei elites and Xiao family sword-masters are waiting.

Feng Ming laughs and says. “Haha, this display is really like a great general going out.” He turns on his horse and poses imitating a model and shout loudly. “Children, let’s visit the Xiao family foundry in the outskirt.”

Just about to shake the horse reins, whistling and rushing out, Luo Yun suddenly reaches out and grabs the reins and says with pressing down his voice. “Although this subordinate agreed to the demand of Xirei King and Rong Hu, to let the Young Master ride on horseback, but riding horse also has the rules of horse riding.”

“Ah?”

“The rule is that the Young Master’s horse reins is controlled by the subordinate.”

“Huh?” Luo Yun’s horse was next to him, and he also turns over on his horse, not only takes his own reins but also takes along Feng Ming’s reins.

Two horses walk side by side.

“This … is this also called horse riding?” Feng Ming finally can’t resist to protest.

“If Young Master doesn’t like it, the subordinate should prepare the carriage immediately.”

It’s too much of a blackmail …

“Let’s depart.” Rong Hu is looking at Feng Ming cursing, he endures his laughing. Speaks to give an order.

Everyone get on the horse and the group set off.

Feng Ming’s reins are taken by Luo Yun, of course it’s impossible to ride quickly, just leisurely riding house with the guards encircling from all around, the front and the back, left and right.

Are you mistaken! Obviously it’s a horse-riding trip. Why does it turn into the adults guiding a child to parade in the street? I want to run wildly! I want to gallop! Whuthering the mountain forest and crossing the wilderness! Fuck…

This Xiao family Young Master is really not the same person!

Such a large group of people traveling astoundingly, not only there are strong and not-easy-to-provoke bodyguards, but also beautiful and lovely maids. All of them are well-dressed and even the horses are good products. How can they walk on the Tong pond street without being noticeable? Especially Feng Ming who is surrounded by the group of horses in the middle and looks very handsome. The people on the street stretched their necks to see and whisper to one another’s ear and ask what kind of person is the powerful young man.

Walking like a circus through the main street of the Tong pond inner city, Rong Hu holds the clearance stamped sent by Qing Zhang and easily exit the city gate.

After passing through the inner city’s buildings, out of the city gate, the horizon suddenly opens up to a wide panorama. It turned out to be the precisely loess road and large area of bright green seedlings that makes people feel happy.

The Xiao family guards that Luo Yun sent to investigate the route wait outside the city gate, seeing them come out, they hurriedly pat the horse and report. “Young Master, from this side of the road, going forward about half a mile, when you get to the left, soon you can go to the foundry workshop. Please allow your subordinates to lead the way.”

They’re also riding good horses, when the four of the hoofs released, they suddenly ran out of the yellow dust, very happily.

Feng Ming looks over Luo Yun in grievance, Luo Yun says with his serious face, “Although it is outside of the city and the place is empty, but Young Master remember to not run away from our horse team.” Across the midair, Feng Ming reins gently thrown back, Feng Ming is overjoyed, his face is full of excitement, he takes the reins and says, “rest assured, I will not run away. Qiu Yue, Qiu Xing come, come, let’s race! ” By the time he shout, he twitches the horsewhip and excitedly rushes out in high spirit.

Qiu Yue and Qiu Xing also ride horse one each and says with tender voices at the back. “Duke Ming don’t run too fast. Wait for us.”

Luo Yun and Rong Hu have expected that this would happen and they shake their head in secret.

They are responsible for the guards, dare not let Feng Ming leave their line of sight, they gesture toward the subordinates, everyone whip their horses to catch up and follow up Feng Ming from the front and behind.

On the large area of Loess road, the horse’s hoofs pounding loudly.

Although the guards follow all around, it’s still a pleasure to be able to run around in the outskirt. These days he’s either stuffed on a boat or stuffed in a house, almost stuffed until he goes crazy. Feng Ming is like a monkey out of the cage, all the energy of his whole body took advantage of this opportunity to vent, he put the horse speed to the fastest, and finally surpassed the Xiao family guards who led the road ahead. Feng Ming’s laughter, also Qiu Xing’s delicate voice, and the sound of the horses, is like a cheerful song, filled the entire road. Run forward for about half a mile, sure enough there’s a forked road, Feng Ming is going to sort out which one to turn, and suddenly there’s sound of horse’s hoofs coming from the front.

Heard from afar a person come ride the horse, and says, “It’s a coincidence, I’m going to pick you up, didn’t expect to meet you on the road”.

It turns out to be Hong Yu.

He’s wearing the same clothes as yesterday, his shoulders and his knees, also the front of his waist, surrounded by strange-looking leather-like things, the riding posture is also seems uncomfortable.

However, his smile is full of spring breeze.

Feng Ming sees him too and very happily asks, “Why did you run into me here? Where’s Wu Qian?”

“Wu Qian was originally with me, and later his men came to report, I do not know what things happened to call him away.” Hong Yu comes in front of him, turns the horse’s head, and slowly put his horse side by side with Feng Ming, he excitedly says, “you told me yesterday that Xiao family has an old foundry in the outskirt area of the Tong pond that can be lent to me. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at night and caught Wu Qian with me in the middle of the night to find the place according to what Rong Hu said. What a good place! The valley is quiet, and the mountain produces very good wood to burn, that wood is the best thing to use for charcoal. With this, i can at least save more than half a year of time, the small earth-houses, the large stoves and the pool needed for the workshop, are all complete and only need to be cleaned up, now the only thing that needs to be done is to build a fire pit.”

Watching his dreams go smoothly on the journey of realization, Hong Yu seems more cheerful than usual, his girl-like face is flushed so excitedly that it looks cute.

Feng Ming is very happy for him, he asks a few things about building the fire pit, Hong Yu is unsurprisingly really professional in this regard, as soon as they chat he said a bunch of words that Feng Ming had never heard, probably the special words of the foundry. Feng Ming gets a headache hearing it, he quickly stops and raises his hand to surrender and says, “it turns out that there’s so much to be careful about a fire pit, forget it, you still have to find a knowledgeable research, i have been caught by Rong Hu and Luo Deng to learn about this and that, i don’t want to be a student again today. If you need money, you can talk to me.”

After they meet, the horse slow down, and the others have already followed.

Qiu Lan and Rong Hu ride together, Qiu Yue and Qiu Xing ride on a pair of sisters, they’re also following Feng Ming’s horse.

Feng Ming curiously looks at Hong Yu and asks, “Do you usually wear this when you’re casting your sword?” Hong Yu nods and says. “Yes, these thick leather cover the body, it’s to prevent the fire splashes onto the skin. But we’re tied to fire every day, even if we wear them it’s difficult to guarantee that we won’t be burned a few times. You see, I was burned before.” Open his right sleeve and take his arm across. It did leave a few deep and shallow hot stamps on it. On his fair skin, suddenly there are such awkward prints, it looks shocking.

Feng Ming can’t help but pity him, “Your skin is so beautiful, but it left with so many scars.”

Hong Yu objects it and smiles. “Why are you as long-winded as that guy Wu Qian? Men should not be afraid of weapons, water and fire, those who’re worrying about that beautiful or not beautiful skin all day long, are women.”

Qiu Yue coincidentally hearing from the back, she whip forward and knocks on Hong Yu’s shoulder, discontently says. “Who said that women are concerned about the beautiful or not beautiful skin all day long? Don’t look down on people, women are busy with their own businesses.”

Hong Yu was very full of demeanor toward the women, he turns back to smile at Qiu Yue “it’s me who bump at you, I’m sorry.”

Talk and laugh along the way, they soon reached the hillside where the foundry was located.

Although Hong Yu is borrowing the Xiao family’s Foundry, but he honestly regard himself as the master, he waits Feng Ming to come off the horse and lead him to walk along the grass path.

After a while, he sees the roofs of the earth-houses of twos and threes in the front. Hong Yu very satisfied with the place, while talking about the general situation here, it seems that he hasn’t come home since he got here last night, he still pointing at a shallow stream, walking and saying, “I don’t know which of your Xiao family’s predecessors has such a good eye, actually chose this place to cast weapons. It is a masterpiece. Look at this brook, we can just circle around the workshop for a small half circle. The water temperature has a big impact on the hardness of the final weapon, and the mountain water here is extremely cold, taking natural’s beauty, why it was then abandoned?” His tone has a great pity.

Feng Ming shrugs and says, “How do I know? Maybe the location in Li kingdom is better than this place? But now it’s not abandoned, there’s you to run it.”

Hong Yu thinks of it too and laughs very happily.

Although the foundry’s house is in use, after all it hasn’t been used for so many years, it is very dirty inside and out, the earthen stove is full of dust and needs to be cleaned.

Feng Ming turns around at every door, he ponders muddle-headedly if only he turned into a vacuum cleaner, maybe he would be grabbed by Hong Yu who is excitedly sweeping like cleaning service. After just a look, he ran to the brook outside and find a clean meadow, he then encouraging Qiu Lan, “Let’s have a picnic here, I haven’t eaten on the grass for a long time, the weather is good today, Qiu Lan ah, you talk to Rong Hu on my behalf.”

Qiu Lan has always been obeyed for his request, she immediately goes to Rong Hu to discuss. And Rong Hu is mostly never disobeyed for Qiu Lan’s request. Also the Great King has commanded, to let Duke Ming play happily for a day today, so he goes to Luo Yun to discuss it. Hit it off, picnic!

A lot of elites are coming along the way, finally showing their amazing action.

Feng Ming shout about picnic not too long ago, immediately the large area of grass was cleared out, even the fallen leaves are pinched clean. Except Feng Ming it’s not known whether everyone had brought lunch with them. When Feng Ming looking at the marinated beef slices on the grass, pork slices, pig’s feet and so on, everything is amazingly dumbfounded.

He still thinking that he should send Rong Hu back to the Tong pond inner city to shop.
