Sanhang Village.
Although it is only a small village, because it is close to the imperial city, the villagers living there are better than most villagers in Qianwu Kingdom.
An ordinary carriage slowly drove in from the entrance of the village.
The villagers of Sanhang Village took one look and then looked away.
Although horse-drawn carriages are rare in the village, due to the geographical location.
Occasionally, some passers-by come to rest.
Not to mention unusual.
"Bai Ye, does the mechanism master live here?"
Lin Xu's voice came from the carriage.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, he discovered traces of mechanism and saltpeter.
So I asked Dongchang to investigate that day.
As expected, although there is saltpeter in this world, there is no gunpowder.
Probably because of the advanced martial arts in this world, few people would study these heresies.
But Lin Xu had a different idea.
No matter how many strong men there are, how many can there be?
With millions of cavalry, even the land gods can't make waves.
If one could develop mechanism techniques and gunpowder, even an ordinary soldier would be able to fight against martial arts masters.
Gunpowder will be in short supply for a while, and you need to find enough saltpeter and blacksmiths to start research.
However, the mechanism technique can be considered.
Soon, a small bungalow made of thatch came into view.
There are many exquisite mechanical animals placed at the door of the small bungalow, which are lifelike and just like real ones.
There are a lot of sawdust piled next to the machine animal. There is an old man sitting in the middle, his whole body is almost buried in the sawdust, and he is concentrating on carving a machine dog.
There were no other villagers around.
Dongchang inquired about the news and said that the owner of the small bungalow was withdrawn and that no one in the entire village could speak with more than one hand.
Looking at it today, it really lives up to its reputation.
"Is this the home of Mr. Zhang Xingyun?"
Bai Ye walked into the courtyard, and as soon as he finished speaking, the machine birds on the ground seemed to come to life, shooting directly towards him.
Like deadly arrows, it screamed in the air.
"boom!"
Bai Ye's body erupted with violent force, instantly tearing those machine animals apart.
All the mechanical animals were destroyed, and the old man finally stopped what he was doing and said solemnly: "This humble house is too simple to accommodate land gods. Everyone, please come back!"
Lin Xu got off the carriage and chuckled: "Zhang Xingyun, I can avenge you!"
"You should know that no matter how good your machine skills are, they are still dead animals. Even your master is a prodigal dog. Do you think they can avenge you?"
His words can be said to be very ruthless. He would call others a prodigal dog when he first came up. If it were anyone else, he would have exploded on the spot.
But Zhang Xingyun did not show any other expression: "Young Master has a noble status. I believe you can avenge me, but if I can avenge you, I won't trouble you."
Lin Xu was surprised, there was something interesting about this piece of paper.
From beginning to end, there was no trace of emotion on his face.
Either he already knew everything.
Or he has already seen through everything.
Either way, it means that this Zhang Xingyun is not an ordinary person.
Originally, Lin Xu was a little nervous before coming, thinking that his trip might be in vain.
Now it seems that I feel more relieved.
"If you can see through the land gods, you must be a land god yourself!" Lin Xu said, finding a bench to sit on without any ceremony, as if he were at home.
"Land gods are the realm that all people in the world dream of. The young master praises me like this, and the little old man is a little proud. It's a pity that I'm just a commoner, not a legendary god."
Zhang Xingyun changed the carving knife and continued to fiddle with the machine dog.
"You are different from what I imagined. Before I came here, I heard that you were very withdrawn and did not want to have much contact with people in the village."
"But why do you say so much to me, a stranger, today?"
Lin Xu looked curious.
"Young master, it's just a coincidence that I'm here. The little old man is happy today, so he naturally said a few more words."
"Young master, if you have anything to do, please do as you please! I'm going to continue carving."
Zhang Xingyun's hands were indeed busy again.
Just as Lin Xu was about to finish, his expression suddenly hardened.
"Master."
Bai Ye quickly stood behind him, his eyes radiating vigilance. Just now, even he, a land god, felt a hint of threat.
"Everyone who has come from afar, if you are also here to see me, please show up and see me. Why hide your head and show your tail?"
Zhang Xingyun said while carving.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of black figures suddenly appeared around him. There were dozens of them, with at least third-rate strength.
The ones with the strongest aura are one Grand Master and four Grand Masters. This strength cannot be underestimated.
"You have nothing to do here, get out!"
Then the great master, the man in black, came out and glanced at Lin Xu and the others lightly.
"It's not your house, why are you making so much noise?"
"I just love staying here, why are you biting me!?"
Lin Xu raised his middle finger disdainfully.
This world is not only about the imperial court, but also about the world.
There are many sects in Qianwu Kingdom.
Some hidden sects are very powerful and even have land gods. But no matter what, the imperial power comes first.
Not surprisingly, these guys in front of me are from a certain Jianghu sect.
A group of mere bastards dared to yell in front of him, the emperor of Qianwu Kingdom. They were looking for death.
"killed."
The Grand Master, the man in black, was too lazy to talk nonsense. With a wave of his hand, two men in black walked out, raised their hands, and two sharp sleeve arrows flew out.
It exudes a strange luster and is highly poisonous.
The sharp arrows emitted a cold light, as if even the air was being pierced.
Bai Ye snorted coldly, clapped his big hand in the air, and the two sleeve arrows flew back, instantly piercing the necks of the two men in black.
The terrifying power even penetrated directly, exploding a large amount of blood mist.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Bai Ye's action seemed to be a signal, and figures appeared from all directions, surrounding all the men in black in the blink of an eye.
Everyone holds a silver needle ready to go. Although the silver needle is very thin, it is extremely concealable because of this.
The silver needle was also coated with highly toxic poison, and without a specially prepared antidote, he would not survive more than a quarter of an hour.
If these men in black act rashly, the Dongchang Factory Guards can guarantee that everyone below the Grand Master will be killed in one round.
The faces of the men in black changed drastically, and they raised their arms, ready to resist at any time.
If you look closely, you can see that these men in black all have small sleeves on their arms.
There are three sleeve arrows in the sleeve.
"Zhang Xingyun, these people are here for you. Do you need me to help you take care of them?" Lin Xu said slowly.
The faces of the men in black with sleeve crossbows changed drastically, and they immediately became highly vigilant.
The people they were responsible for patrolling didn't realize there were so many people hiding around them.
It can be seen that the strength of these people is definitely not weak.
"Zhang Xingyun, you'd better think better of it. If you kill us, you will never have peace."
"If you hand over your things, we will leave immediately and will never disturb you again."
The Grand Master, the man in black, is quite calm. As long as he is not a land god, if he wants to leave, almost no one will bother to leave.
