Chapter 18, The Remnant of Rebellion
Chen Qi showed the old blacksmith the prototype of the later carriage. Chen Qi planned to make a comfortable carriage and designed various components, including springs, to form the most luxurious carriage in the world, one word, comfortable.
The old blacksmith studied for a long time and was amazed at Chen Qi's design. He said in surprise, "Young Master, this curved thing is also steel?"
Chen Qi nodded, "This must be good steel, tough steel, can it be made?" Chen Qi is not familiar with steel forging. He only knows that shock absorption is best for steel such as silicon dimanganese. Chen Qi does not expect that it is good to make alloys. It is also silicon dimanganese. The blacksmith has made iron for the sixth generation. It should be familiar with the properties of steel. Just rely on experience. Looking back on the blast furnace ironmaking technology, it will not be very difficult. It is difficult for a society without an industrial foundation to make shock absorption.
Chen Qi did not spend much time on the village. Seeing that Chen Kang was not returning, Chen Qi made people look forward to Qiu Shi, and he drove back to Chang'an with Lu Qing and Han Xing. Qiu Shi leaned against the door and looked at Chen Qi's departure at the foot of the mountain, smiling slightly, knowing that he didn't believe in him, but this kid saved his life and had to express his feelings that passing on him in two days would be considered as repaying this life-saving grace.
Qiu Shi looked at his necklace. There must be some mystery. Chen Qi took it out for Lu Qing to see. Lu Qing had a lot of thoughts and knowledge. The necklace was a lock made of gold and jade. It can be opened with a certain specific technique. It is used for entertainment like a nine-ring. Chen Qi doesn't think so. The big name Pei sways in front of him.
As soon as Chen Qi and the others left, Qiu Shi's room in the village floated in like a ghost. He was also dressed in black and a black wooden sword. He looked a little unruly, with a smile on his lips, and his long hair was fluttering. He was about twenty years old, his brilliance was introverted and his breath was long. He was a master, and he fell lightly behind Qiu Shi, but Qiu Shi had no reaction.
The visitor smiled and said, "Senior brother is really lucky. I heard that you jumped off Mount Hua and didn't die."
Qiushi showed a surprise expression and turned around and smiled, "Go and go, stop joking, Yibai, you actually found this place. You came quickly enough. The old country sent it back safely? How did you find me?"
The young man, who was called Yibai by Qiushi, smiled and said, "Search along the mountains and follow the river. I sent a signal and Senior Brother Zhong came here later."
Qiushi pointed at Chen Qi's back and said, "That's the third young master of the Chen family, he saved me."
Mo Yibai looked at it and said nothing, "Oh, it must be the child of the Pei family's wife, right? Just now, the Duke of Zhenguo also said that the child of the Pei family's wife died young, and the third son was born to a maid. It seems that he is deceiving us. What kind of character is you? Do you want to teach others Kung Fu again? Our Mo family's Kung Fu has never been passed down. I said, "Senior brother, I'm just saving my life, so why bother to repay my life."
"According to my opinion, it should be the child of the Pei family's wife. She looks exactly the same, with a kind heart, but her identity is special. Once someone knows, there will definitely be danger. You can confirm it when Senior Brother Zhong comes. I heard that a few days ago, Senior Brother Zhong had been to the Duke's Mansion and had treated this third young master."
"We can save the Pei family's wife in danger, but we can't let the Pei family's wife down. Senior brother, you can't let the Pei family hear you. Also, even if you confirm that he is the Pei family's wife, he is not a member of the Mo family for a day, and you can't teach kung fu for a day. Once the master knows it, you will have to take care of it."
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart."
Chen Qi didn't know these conversations in Guitianzhuang, nor did he know what the Pei family's wife represented. He only knew that he was just a maid's child and was not welcomed.
Chen Qi rode back on his horse. After evening, he entered Tonghua Gate, separated from Han Xing Lu Qing, and returned to his own house. Chang'an did not imagine that all the plants and trees were soldiers. Everything was as usual, and it should be lively and calm. Chen Qi was very puzzled. Chang'an did not react at all when the Duke was assassinated so much.
Chen Qi hurried back home, threw the whip and rushed straight to the backyard. A servant took Chen Qi to the old man's residence. The old man was as usual, "How can he be so anxious?"
"Oh, my grandfather is still a general, as long as you are fine." Chen Qi stepped forward and grabbed the old man and looked around. The old man was puzzled, and he didn't show any expression on the surface, "How do you say it, I still hope that my grandfather is troubled? It's only a thousand miles away that can make his grandfather tired?"
Chen Qi opened his mouth and reacted violently. It seems that no one knew that his grandfather was being hunted down, and his grandfather didn't want people to know. Since that's the case, I can just investigate secretly, "It's fine, it's fine. You said that you are old and you are still going out to do business. The emperor is too inconsiderate."
"The state affairs are the most important. If your kid is healed, he will not go to the academy. Why do you go to the village to do? Go to school tomorrow." The old Duke was deliberately keeping calm. He didn't want this little grandson to get involved.
Chen Qi nodded and smiled, walked up to him to massage the old man's back, and said, "I'll go tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow."
"Grandpa, don't fool me. Others don't know it's someone else's business. I saved the Mo family from the village." Chen Qi said, taking out the necklace from his neck, shaking it in front of his grandfather, pointing to the word Pei inlaid on the necklace and saying, "And, Grandpa, what does this word mean? I always say it was left to me by my mother. Is it the surname Pei?"
The old man was stunned, thought for a long time, pulled Chen Qi in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "How is that person?"
Chen Qi explained, "It's okay. Judging from his physique, it should be fine in two days. I thought he was a liar."
The old man was stunned for a long time, as if he was hesitating and struggling. Finally, he sighed and looked at Chen Qi, who was about to be taller than him, and said, "San'er, since the Mo family has discovered you, grandpa won't hide it from you today. Let me tell you everything I should tell you," said.
Chen Qi jumped onto the chair and sat next to the old man, looking like a good baby listening to the story. The old man stroked Chen Qi's hand, "But you have to keep your word. Your identity is a thorn, enough to pierce your own thorn. Your father deliberately alienated you and hated you for many years, and was all about protecting you."
"Ah, it's so serious. Can I not know if grandpa? How should I live with it?"
"That won't work. I said San'er, you were not born into a little girl without any name. Your mother was born in the Pei family in Hedong and had a close relationship with the Momen. Even if I don't tell you, they will tell you."
Chen Qi interrupted, "Pei family? What does that Pei family have to do with the Mo family?"
"The Pei family in Hedong, can there be that Pei family. Your mother is a strange woman. She is a descendant of the Mo family. There are always some people in this world that make people look up to, but your mother is not, your mother makes people despair."
"As for how she is desperate, let's not talk about it, she is the legitimate sister of the first queen, Empress Pei."
"Grandpa said, the emperor is my uncle?"
"If you are not an uncle, it is not a good thing to get involved in the royal family. Sixteen years ago, the former emperor collapsed in the northern border, and the Pei family was determined to be a rebellion, and the whole family was killed."
"Ah, the whole family is killed!" Chen Qi was shocked. Could it be that he was still a rebellious person? No wonder his father and grandfather were so secretive about his mother.
