Lin Xi's pace seemed slow, but every step he took actually went further than ordinary people.
As he walked through Zhongzhou City, the crowd behind him became more and more dispersed and no longer as dense as before.
In his opinion, what he has done for the people of this empire cannot be compared with Dean Zhang, and what he has done cannot replace Dean Zhang's position in the hearts of people in this world, so he
In his heart, he did not feel the slightest frustration because his words could not soothe the mood of these Yunqin people. He just turned a corner and quietly unfolded the scroll of paper that Zhen quickly put into his hand.
The soul-melting power finally released by Emperor Yunqin had already made his thoughts a little confused. He knew that Emperor Yunqin's biggest intention was to make the people of Yunqin doubt some beautiful stories, but also to let himself enter the sky.
Go behind the mountains to find answers.
And now the scroll of paper that Zhen Kuai put into his hand at this time also made him feel that something unusual must have happened.
There are only five words on the scroll: "Chengxi Rong Workshop."
Lin Xi rolled the piece of paper in her hand and silently shook it into dust, then headed straight to the west of the city.
There are many workshops in the west of Zhongzhou City.
Lin Xi had not been here before, and he did not know where Rong Gongfang was located. However, on a street far away from these workshops, Lin Xi was vaguely able to determine which Rong Gongfang was.
Because at this moment, among the workshops along the river in the west of the city, only one has thick plumes of smoke rising from it.
At this moment, there were still many people following Lin Xi. As Lin Xi got closer and closer to the workshops, many people, especially some practitioners in Zhongzhou City, also discovered the unusually abrupt smoke pillars in the silent sky.
They were more certain than Lin Xi that that place was the location of Rong Gongfang.
There are a total of thirteen workshops in this area in the west of the city, twelve of which are workshops belonging to the imperial court, specializing in manufacturing various ordnance for the imperial court.
Rong Gongfang is not the largest among these workshops, but it is the one with the most master craftsmen. It does not produce standard ordnance, but only special ordnance and soul weapons.
The most suspicious thing at the moment is that Rong Gongfang and several other high-end workshops in Zhongzhou City are all under the jurisdiction of the Rong family.
The Rong family and the Leng family, after the Autumn Festival, have become the most important forces in Zhongzhou City. Today's major event is closely related to the Rong family. Other workshops have not started working normally. What happened to the Rong family's workshop?
Will it continue to operate in an orderly manner?
Lin Xi's steps were still not particularly fast.
At this moment, most of the people in Zhongzhou City have not returned to their usual places. Behind him there is hustle and bustle, but in front of him there is silence.
In this deserted city, no slight movement could escape his perception at this moment.
What made him feel more and more solemn was that people in the workshop should have already known about his arrival at this moment, but those pillars of smoke soaring into the sky didn't seem to have changed much at all.
This feeling made him feel that if there was any secret hidden in this workshop, the person hiding the secret would not care at all when he found out that the secret had been discovered by him.
…
Outside the workshop, there are still Zhongzhou Guard sergeants wearing silver armor patrolling.
These Yunqin soldiers who were still strictly abiding by military orders did not know the drastic changes in the Yunqin Palace, but they all saw the thunderclouds covering the palace, and they all saw the lightning like the wrath of the sky. At this moment, they saw the
Lin Xi, who had spent a long time in extremely nervous and uneasy mood, all the bodies of the Yunqin soldiers became stiff.
"Emperor Yunqin has died, and the eldest princess will succeed him to the throne."
Lin Xi walked to the Yunqin soldiers at the entrance of the workshop and said something simple and direct, and then asked: "Who is the school officer among you?"
A young silver-armored sergeant's lips trembled for a long time without making a sound.
"Before I come here, is there anything to transport out?" Lin Xi looked at the Zhongzhou Medical School officer who was speechless for a moment and asked.
The young silver-armored sergeant swallowed hard and then subconsciously shook his head; "No."
Lin Xi nodded. Without saying anything else, he passed over these Yunqin soldiers, pushed open the heavy black iron door of the workshop, and walked in.
Just relying on his perception, he walked straight to the workshop closest to the river.
When he walked into the workshop where several furnaces stood, he saw dozens of people inside, looking at him with pale faces.
Behind several monster-like furnaces, there are several tooling areas separated by metal plates that look extremely clean and tidy.
There are countless small parts made of metal and crystal, arranged on shelves covered with various velvet cloths.
However, at this moment, Lin Xi's eyes did not see the monster-like furnace in this workshop, nor did he see the figures of all the craftsmen who stopped when they knew of his arrival. In his mind, there was not even the inside of this workshop.
specific impression.
He didn't pay attention to how many strange things there were inside the workshop and what kind of layout it was. The moment his eyes passed over these craftsmen, he had already stopped at one of the items in the workwear area.
.
It was an extremely unique thick metal runner.
There are many simple textures on the top of the runner, and there are many small ring-shaped metals and balance wheels in a rotating shaft in the center of the runner.
Lin Xi's face gradually turned a little pale.
He passed through these craftsmen like air and came to the front of this heavy metal wheel.
He hoped that what he saw was wrong, but when his toes touched the thick metal wheel, he knew that it was all real.
He turned around with his breathing paused, looked at the craftsmen whom he had just regarded as air, and asked: "Are you making this thing? Do you know what this is?"
None of these craftsmen could understand Lin Xi's emotions and words at this moment.
None of them made a sound, but the several elderly master craftsmen headed by them all nodded.
"Who asked you to make such a thing?" Lin Xi looked at these master craftsmen and asked with difficulty.
"This is Master Rong." A great craftsman said calmly.
Lin Xi looked at the master craftsman who was wearing official uniform and asked, "Who is Mr. Rong?"
"Lord Rong Zongsheng." said the great craftsman.
Rong Zongsheng is not the old man who sat behind heavy curtains in the past, but he is the person in charge of the Rong family in Zhongzhou City after the Autumn Festival.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and then asked: "Where do the methods and materials for refining these things come from? When were they shipped?"
"We are only responsible for refining a few of the parts."
The master craftsman heard that Lin Xi just wanted to trace the origin of these things, so he became calmer and explained clearly: "The main alloys of two of them are originally only produced by our workshop here, and some other materials and
The parts that have been manufactured are all shipped from outside. We know that this is an extremely powerful soul weapon, but we don’t know how to assemble it specifically, because we were only told a few of the things we were asked to refine.
process."
After a slight pause, the master craftsman added: "These things were all delivered seven days ago."
Lin Xi looked at the heavy metal runner in front of his toes. Standing at his current position, he saw that there were three such metal runner, so he whispered with some difficulty: "If you all go on as planned... shouldn't you?
The parts for three of these things can be completed quickly?”
"It should be completed within five days." The master craftsman looked at Lin Xi and said.
Lin Xi nodded. He stopped talking to these craftsmen. He didn't even mention how to deal with these things.
He walked out of the workshop and stopped at the door of the workshop.
In the bright sunshine, he felt a little dazzled.
Nangong Weiyang's figure appeared in his sight at this moment.
"The eldest princess has not arrived at True Dragon Mountain." Nangong Weiyang said before she even approached him.
Lin Xi's hands trembled. He looked at Nangong Weiyang and asked, "Even you didn't find out who took her away?"
Nangong Weiyang nodded, looked at Lin Xi and asked: "What is in this workshop?"
"One-wheeled metal puppet, holy level one-wheeled metal puppet!"
Lin Xi looked at Nangong Weiyang and said, "Where is Zhang Ping now?"
Nangong Weiyang's brows frowned deeply. She thought for a while, looked at Lin Xi, and said: "Zhang Ping is in Zhongzhou City. Even if he is hiding, you can definitely find him if you look for him, but you are sure not to go first."
Thunder Academy?”
"I hope this matter has nothing to do with him, or that he has other ideas." Lin Xi looked at Nangong Weiyang and used a lot of effort to say the second sentence: "And if he really has what you think
Arrangements, then even if we rush to Thunder Academy now, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
"We should go to the southern suburbs."
Nangong Weiyang thought about it seriously again, then she looked up at Lin Xi and said, "We can first see if Qin Xiyue is still there."
