Folding the halberd to seal the cold

Recently, Gu Qingxi feels that the relationship between Qin Yan and Ye Feng is unusual.

When he was talking to him secretly in Qin Yue's room, Qin Yue didn't swallow a mouthful of tea, and suddenly choked and coughed several times.

"Gu Qingxi... What exactly do you want to say?"

Qin Yue frowned, he always felt that Gu Qingxi's next words vaguely poked a certain tangled mood in him.

"I think your sister Qin Xiaoyan...maybe she and Ye Feng are... a bit unusual." Gu Qingxi had a look of frustration on her face, and finally choked out such a sentence after a long while.

……

Qin Yue's heart was blocked for a while, and he said impatiently: "Have you been free recently? You have nothing to do all day to make random guesses?"

"I don't want to make random guesses! These two days, Ye Feng went to Jian Furnace early and didn't know what he was busy with... Obviously, the iron furnace for Hanxing Meteorite has not been built yet, but he said he was doing Qin Yan a small favor, and there is something To do... That guy Qin Xiaoyan also goes with him every day, I just happened to want to take a look and see what they were doing, so your sister pushed and shoved me back, looking like I saw me It’s not a problem if you just look like you’re afraid to avoid it?”

"..." Qin Yue's brows were further furrowed.

But Gu Qingxi was still analyzing it for him as if he didn't notice: "You said... If Ye Feng can really leave the Valley of the Wicked and stay with us in Haoqi, he can have a good thing with Qin Xiaoyan, but the problem is Yes... If Ye Feng still has to return to the Valley of the Wicked in half a month, how should I face her when we meet again? I'm worried that your sister won't fall in love with someone she shouldn't like, and end up abusing her for nothing, tsk."

……

"...Gu Qingxi."

"what?"

"Did you finish drawing the topographic map of Fenghu last time?" Qin Yue asked in a deep voice.

"I finished the painting a long time ago. Didn't I have someone present it to you, didn't you read it?" Gu Qingxi was dissatisfied thinking of this.

"Very good. Then go and draw a map of Jinmen and mark it for me."

"What?! Qin Buyue, is there something wrong with you!!!"

Gu Qingxi wailed, and didn't care if it would make Qin Yue angry. Does this person really have no map collecting addiction?Why do you ask him to draw so many topographic maps over and over again during this non-combat period?

"Bring it in before sunset tomorrow, and I won't care about anything else with you."

Qin Yue tapped the table with his fingers, announcing that Gu Qingxi had no chance to refute.

If this guy insists on calling himself Qin Buyue, then "Gu Tiandu" is also very appropriate for him.

Qin Yue no longer paid attention to Gu Qingxi, who was complaining and dissatisfied with him, but turned his eyes far outside the door, and had some concerns of his own.

In the evening, the foundry.

The craftsmen who reconstructed the sword furnace all disappeared one after another, and only Ye Feng and Bai Guanshi were left to inspect the remaining mud.

"I think it will be strengthened again tomorrow, and after a few days of natural air drying, the first trial can be carried out." The white steward looked up at the newly built melting furnace, and said with a rather happy expression.

"Well. Manager Bai has worked hard. I think as long as it doesn't rain tonight, it should be fine. You can go back and rest first." Ye Feng nodded.

Bai Lie looked at Ye Feng with less disdain than before, but with a little more appreciation: "Well, I'll leave the rest to you to check, and the old man will go back first."

"Forgive me, junior." Ye Feng cupped his hands and watched Guanshi Bai go down the mountain.

The foundry, which had been noisy all day, finally fell silent at this moment.

The setting sun left only the last smear of red on the top of the green hill, and it gradually became a piece of sunset glow in the sky like brocade.

Ye Feng couldn't help looking a little greedily, his gaze was distant and long.

Before I knew it, I had been in Haoqi for more than ten days.

At the beginning, he thought it was a difficult time, but it passed by... so quickly.

At the beginning, he thought it was hard to accept those noble people, but gradually he was able to coexist peacefully with them like friends.

In fact, it was not without entanglements and doubts in my heart.

Ye Feng, what are you doing now?

If he went back to the Valley of the Wicked, one day he would still confront them in arms, so at least people like Qin Yue and Qin Yan...can he still confront them with swords?

Can't find... an answer.

Ye Feng sighed deeply, after all, he was in the days when Haoqi was being treated with extra courtesy... It was completely opposite to what he had expected at the beginning.

Regardless of whether they had an antagonistic relationship with them before, one must always know how to reciprocate kindness.

He also knew that as time passed, the entanglement in his heart would deepen. In order not to leave too many entanglements, he should do a good job on the sword furnace and help them smelt the cold star iron as soon as possible.

That was the only promise that could be repaid to him.

Ye Feng thought for a moment, then turned around and went back, wanting to polish Qin Yan's sword model again while no one was there.

As a result, I saw Qin Yue standing in front of the casting table at some point, with one elbow supported by a wooden stick, and when he turned his head, his gaze was a little unnaturally staggered, making it unpredictable.

"You..." Ye Feng didn't expect that Qin Yue would suddenly be interested in coming to the foundry, and it was still at this time of lighting.

"Not long after you came here, you didn't bother me because you were so focused on what you were thinking. Is the sword furnace almost finished?" Qin Yue explained lightly.

The sky was dark, and Ye Feng didn't notice the deepness in his eyes, he just nodded and said: "Well, it's almost there. After the trial is completed, you can start smelting the cold star iron. You can get it in seven days at the earliest know the result."

Qin Yue frowned, but there was no expectation on his face: "Are you sure?"

"Before it's smelted, I can't be sure it's safe. But I'm [-]% sure, there is." Ye Feng thought for a while, and answered seriously.

"En." Qin Yue replied, but he didn't look very satisfied.

He glanced at Ye Feng, as if he was thinking about something, he was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Hasn't Ah Yan been here today?"

Ye Feng was slightly stunned, and was a little puzzled by the topic he suddenly changed: "I came here in the morning, but I haven't seen her since then. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Qin Yue shook his head, but after a while, he added another sentence in a tangled voice: "Recently...you seem to be getting very close?"

……

Instantly understood the meaning of Qin Yue's words, Ye Feng was quite helpless at the moment.

I finally understand where the strange feeling others have seen him come from in the past few days.

It turned out that they all thought that Qin Yan and him...

Never thought that I would concentrate on discussing with Qin Yan about casting swords, and because I couldn't tell outsiders, it would become more ambiguous in the eyes of others?

Just don't know how to explain it.

Ye Feng smiled wryly in his heart, but Qin Yue's face gradually sank.

Could it be that Gu Qingxi's speculation is true...

"This matter... is related to Miss Qin Yan's own secret. If she is willing to tell you in the future, I think you will understand. And I am just helping her as much as I can, and I have no other superfluous thoughts As for Ms. Qin Yan, I think... With the importance she attaches to this matter, she won't be distracted elsewhere. She often comes to me recently, just because I happen to be able to help her with this matter. "Ye Feng finished speaking slowly, looked at Qin Yue and said: "That's all."

Although Ye Feng only explained a few words, he was sincere and serious, better than other people's gossip.

Qin Yue's heart inexplicably calmed down.

"Actually, I have no other meaning..."

As soon as he said this, Qin Yue felt a little embarrassed, damn it... suddenly felt that he was unnecessary.

"It's nothing." Ye Feng had a clear smile on his lips. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Yue caring about his sister.

It is normal for him to ask this question.

"Let's go back." Ye Feng said.

"Huh?" Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, as if he was still pondering over a certain word.

"Your guard isn't with you?" Ye Feng looked around, but couldn't find Guard Yang.

"...He has other things to do, so I let him go back first." Qin Yue replied a little unnaturally.

"That's the case, and only my shoulder can lend you..." Ye Feng's tone was a little helpless, but there was no reluctance on his face.

"..." Qin Yue coughed softly, and glanced at the wooden stick under his elbow for a while: "You are also injured, so forget it, I still have it."

"But it's getting late, and the way down the mountain will be a little inconvenient." Ye Feng raised his head and motioned him to look at the darkened sky, then put Qin Yue's arm on his uninjured right shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "As long as you Just don't put all the weight on me."

Qin Yue's face froze, but after a while, he couldn't help showing a smile along with him: "Then I will take care of you."

Finally, the sky gradually spreads over the mountain trails like splashed ink, and the evening breeze blows gently, making people very comfortable.

In the evening from the foot of Bishan Mountain, the mountain moon is returning with people.
