Of course i will finish this volume, i only announce in advance so that people who wants to translate next volume will prepare. i have said that 🙂

After saying these words, they thoroughly understand that there’s resounding words, not only Feng Ming, but even Qiu Xing and Qiu Lan nod frequently and have a whole new level of respect for the old man of Fu Qi Men.

Qiu Yue said in a breath, her tight face suddenly loosened and turned into a bright smile, “Oh God, I can’t believe I really remembered the master’s nagging. In fact, I think, ah, the master will do this, mostly because this book is no longer of much use to his children and grandchildren. Besides, his apprentice is me, sooner or later, after I learned these skills and go back, I will certainly tell Duke Ming. At the morning or at night he will still give it to me, so the old man might as well give it to me earlier.”

Feng Ming doesn’t think so, he’s still full of admiration and sighs, “He is really a wise old man who can see far and thoroughly. The inheritance of the world’s skills should benefit the people of the world. People live all their lives, isn’t it just to leave something for future generations? With such a mind, those who only care about their own royal family can not match.”

He admired for a while, then back to his sense and pats Qiu Yue’s on the shoulder, “What are you waiting for? Before it’s too late take it out and copy t quickly. Is the book thick? Are there many words? Otherwise, let’s divide the work and work together, but my handwriting is not very good-looking.”

Qiu Xing says, “How can we trouble Duke Ming? Regarding the copying Rong Hu has arranged his men for Qiu Yue earlier, they all wrote quickly and neatly, there are not many words in the book and they can copy it in less than two days. However, this servant has something to show to Duke Ming, can Duke Ming spare some time for this servant?”

Feng Ming tilts his head and sees Qiu Xing’s mysterious appearance, with half-narrowing his eyes he guesses, “Qiu Xing, you didn’t do any earth-shattering thing secretly, right?” Qiu Lan obviously knew for a long time the good news that Qiu Xing’s has, she says with a smile, “Duke Ming just praised Qiu Yue, of course Qiu Xing is uncomfortable, now she is rushing to show her ability and ask for credit.”

Seeing these delicate ladies around him are all invigorated and worked hard, Feng Ming who just woke up a little melancholy long ago lost his weight.

The man who is able to support both heaven and earth, besides love and affection, there must be other wonderful things in this life.

(t/n:顶天立地 able to support both heaven and earth: standing upright)

How can he just sentimentally yearning for tenderness without growing up?

Rong Tian was willing to take off his clothes and that’s what he realized.

Feng Ming thinks clearly, the light in his eyes suddenly appear, and he smiles happily, “Qiu Xing is not allowed to be coy, hurry up and show your ability that you hide. If you dare to talk in riddles to This Duke Ming like Qiu Yue, I will tickle you.”

Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue both watching and giggling.

Qiu Xing twist Qiu Lan’s cheek slightly in revenge, then turns around and pulls Feng Ming, “Does Duke Ming wants to look at this servant made? It’s in this servant’s room, this way.”

Rong Tian was away, the maids aren’t afraid of Feng Ming at all, so Qiu Xing pulls Feng Ming to her own small room next door. Qiu Xing asks Feng Ming to sit temporarily by her clean and tidy wooden bed, freeing up her hands, opening the box in the room that seem to contain debris, taking out something, holding it in front of Feng Ming, and saying with a gentle smile, “It’s this.”

Feng Ming looks at it, light gray color, and he doesn’t know what it is, it seems to be folded in two layers, it doesn’t fully unfold in Qiu Xing’s palms, and for a while, he can’t see what it is.

“What is this?”

Qiu Xing’s expression of pride turns into disappointment immediately, and she protests, “Duke Ming unexpectedly don’t know what is this? This servant had thought about it in private for a long time according to what Duke Ming said and worked hard to get it done.”

Feng Ming chuckles twice and scratches his head, “According to what I said? Did I tell you to do something that I forgot? You see inside my memory… uh, what exactly is this?”

“Cotton armor ah”

“What?” Feng Ming is stupefied, jumps off the bed and asks in surprise, “You made the cotton armor, how is that possible?”

“It’s cotton armor,” Qiu Xing nods and grumbles grievously. “As Duke Ming know, as soon as we enter the palace, we can only serve to wash and bathe, the most we can do is to make snacks, sing and dance to entertain the Great King, and nothing else we can do. Originally, this is also my duty, but looking at Qiu Yue can worship a master to help Duke Ming share his worries, can this servant do something more? Seeing that day Duke Ming was annoyed that the Great King refuse to use the cotton for the armor, this servant discussed with Qiu Lan. Anyway, we are also idle, and Qiu Lan always has a lot of free time after cooking…”

Feng Ming had no time to listen to her nagging, knowing that the good maid actually kept silent and made the ‘stolen copyright product’ cotton armor that he had learned from the experience of the ancient thousands years ago, he excitingly expresses his delightful, he grabs Qiu Xing’s shoulder and cut off her words, “Good Qiu Xing, you are the most beautiful, smartest and cutest girl I’ve ever seen! Open it up and show it to me, hey, all I know is there’s such a kind of cotton armor, but I haven’t actually seen it with my own eyes. Hurry up, hurry up!”

Qiu Xing sees him so nervous, apparently he valued the fruits of her labor, she suddenly becomes happy again, unfolding the painstakingly finished product in her hands.

When it’s unfolded he can’t understand it, but when it’s opened, it really looks like a vest.Just looking at the appearance, it’s similar to the Nanling bufallo leather Armor made by Qiu Yue for Feng Ming last time, but because the color and texture of the materials are completely different, Feng Ming doesn’t think about it at all with only a single glance. Feng Ming touches it, it feels completely different from the tanned animal skin, it’s indeed cotton, but much harder and rougher than the usual cotton cloth.

Qiu Lan smiles and says to Feng Ming, “Duke Ming should praise Qiu Xing well this time. Don’t look at such a small thing, it’s really thought-provoking. Qiu Xing sew a piece of cotton cloth at first which can’t stand a little blade, she put it on the wood, Rong Hu threw a dagger from the distance and broke a big hole on it, Qiu Xing was so depressed that she almost cried. Later, she tried to find a new way every day, sewing a total of more than 20 different pieces, and finally made one to show Duke Ming, now she finally understood how to make this cotton armor.”

In Feng Ming’s unclear memory, the most intuitive understanding of cotton armor comes from the historical film of the Qing Dynasty on TV.

In addition, when he used to read the extra-curricular physics book, he once read an article about modern bulletproof vests, which are stitched on several layers and pressed on four sides to dissolve external forces layer by layer.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that he would fall into a desolate ancient time and space. and modern scientific knowledge would be his most powerful weapon, so when he looked at it, he lap up ten lines at a glance. Looking clearly at the popular science articles, he could only remember that the principle of cotton armor in the Qing Dynasty mentioned in the article was similar to the bulletproof vest, cotton armor is made of processed cotton cloth with another cotton cloth, pressed or kneaded or something.

(t/n: lap up ten lines at a glance: to understand something very quickly)

Therefore, when he later said to Rong Tian and everyone about the cotton armor was probably rough and maybe the words piled up disorderly that it was impossible to say a clear and specific production method.

No wonder Rong Tian didn’t adopt it.

Because of this, it’s surprising that Qiu Xing was able to figure out the cotton armor from such a general description of Feng Ming and produce a finished product.

Feng Ming astonished and asks Qiu Xing, “I don’t even understand myself how to make this cotton armor. How did you make it?”

Feng Ming’s surprised and curious attitude is the best reward for Qiu Xing.

Seeing Duke Ming not feel ashamed to ask and learn from his subordinates, Qiu Xingblushed with embarrassment and says with a slight smile “Although this servant doesn’t fully understand what Duke Ming said, but to use cotton and divide it into several layers, to be affixed one by one and press the corner, this servant more or less understand. So this servant asked manager Luo for some cotton and tried to do it. The first one that was done, Qiu Lan had told Duke Ming too, nothing could be stopped. Later, this servant thought that the cotton is probably too soft, so soft that how can it block the arrow, sword, and gun? So when I did it again, I tried to put the cotton over the water and pressed it into a tight piece… “

“Yes! Yes! It’s suppression!” Feng Ming shouts and realizes himself misbehaving, he scratches his head and smiling, “Sorry, you keep talking.”

Qiu Xing says, “Later, this servant also found that even the cotton was over-watered and pressed into a piece, it was still not good, although it was better than the first one, it couldn’t stop Rong Hu’s dagger and made a hole. Fortunately, Qiu Yue helped a lot later.”

“Qiu Yue?” Feng Ming suddenly turns back to look at Qiu Yue, “Why does it sound like you are busier than me? You also have a role in making the cotton armor?”

Qiu Yue was praised by Feng Ming early today that she didn’t know the heaven and earth, after she’s satisfied, she becomes modest and shakes her head, “Actually this servant didn’t do anything, just watched Qiu Xing press the cotton into water, it was a bit similar to the first process of dyeing that me and my teacher did, the latter process is a bit similar, however after the process of dyeing is done, a layer of white pulp is put on it, after the pulping, the cloth will become hard and straight. Qiu Xing always muttered that it wasn’t hard enough to bear any kind of swords, guns, spears, and arrows, so I told her to tried her luck.”

“Who knows that such a touch is really useful.” Qiu Lan sees Feng Ming looks happy, she’s also exceptionally happy that she join the fun and inserts a sentence.

Feng Ming’s attention is drawn to Qiu Lan at the side and asks Qiu Lan, “So Qiu Lan what did you help with? Qiu Xing said that this was made with you, right?”

Qiu Xing says, “The sewing method in which the thread is pressed in the middle of the four sides is made by Qiu Lan, she will use a lot of needle stitching methods and try the same. Aih, this servant now knows that there are so many tricks in this cotton armor, not to mention that the materials in research are difficult to die, even if one changes the sewing method, the effect will be different. Duke Ming is really smart that he knew to pay attention to the sewing method from the beginning.”

Feng Ming knows that the sewing method she’s talking about actually refers to the principle of multi-layer dispersion force similar to the principle of bulletproof vest. Although these maids do not understand physics, but they do the same, unflagging efforts, failed, then tried it again, until finally succeeded, only under his vague suggestions.

It is really sincerity splits open metal.

(t/n: 精诚所致，金石为开 sincerity splits open metal (idiom): With a will, you can achieve anything)

“Every time they made one, they would quietly catch Rong Hu to help them use his arrows and swords to check the effect. Later, it was also found that this cotton armor was effective in resisting the arrows, when the arrows shot on it, the murderous energy spread out, making it difficult to penetrate a hole. But if one stab it with a sword directly, it’s easy to be broken.”

Qiu Yue stakes Qiu Xing’s hand and shakes it easily, suddenly shows a mischievous smile, and tell-tale to Feng Ming, “it turns out that Qiu Lan is very fierce, forcing Rong Hu to promise that he will never tell Duke Ming before we can successfully produce a finished product that we’re satisfied with.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she screams in pain.

It turns out that Qiu Lan is secretly twists her waist.

Feng Ming’s eyes are bright and round, like a little tiger who’s extremely excited, he says with joy, “Now tell me, does it mean that the cotton armor I saw is already a finished product that you are satisfied with?”

Qiu Xing and Qiu Lan look at each other, their eyes somehow proud and reassured, they turn their heads together, and smiles at Feng Ming like blooming flower, both nod with certainty.

“This piece of cotton armor has been put on wood and shot by Rong Hu for more than a dozen shots with arrows, it’s not broken at all. I dare not say whether I can resist melee weapons, but if it is a long-range attack on the battlefield, or like the arrow rain of Dan Lin that we encountered in the Aman River that time, it will certainly be a great help.”

“This servant also tried to make several different pieces, using three, five and seven layers of cotton to sew, of course, the more layers, the better the effect, but the five layers are good to prevent the arrows. If you use the seven layers, the cotton shell is hard and thick, which will be very inconvenient and uncomfortable to wear.”

“The first one was sewn a bit rougher, but if I knew what to do later, it would be more beautiful.”

“Cotton armor is very light, and also can run fast in clothes, we first tell Duke Ming the good news, when the Great King comes back, please Duke Ming tell the Great King to make him happy.”

The maids talk to each other in an orderly way, and they are no longer the little girls who used to only know how to joke around.

The proud sense of participation dig out their hidden wisdom and courage, to present it to Feng Ming’s eyes instantly with a touching light.

Feng Ming caressed the cotton armor that had condensed their painstaking efforts, which is currently only a “sample” at present, and a surge of enthusiasm rush straight to his throat.

“You guys… Do you know how important this thing you made?” Feng Ming’s voice trembled slightly.

He takes a deep breath and pour into his chest and lung, there is fresh air full of energy in every minute.

The feeling of changing history with kindred spirit people is so touching.

At this moment, it seems that Rong Tian who is heading to Xirei, as well as Wei Qiu Niang in Qian Lin of Yue Zhong city, Lie Zhong Liu in Dong Fan, Lie Er who is being rescued by Yong Yi, all break through the limitation of time and space and draw close to each other.
