"Giving soul."
Zhang Xingyun pinched the Zhuge Liannu blueprint in his hand.
In fact, he also wanted to see what this kind of weapon would look like with his own hands.
But the barrier in his heart always kept him away.
"Zhang Xingyun, you are not the kind of person who is willing to be lonely. Otherwise, you would not have given me that secret book."
"At first, I admired you for having such a strong knowledge of machine arts, but now I am very disappointed."
"Because you're just a coward."
Lin Xu walked up to the half-finished machine dog and trampled it to pieces.
"what are you doing."
Zhang Xingyun suddenly raised his head, and just as he was about to rush forward and push him away, two Dongchang factory guards immediately stepped forward and detained him.
"Haha. You dare to attack an unknown enemy for this half piece of wood. How much do you want to deceive yourself and others?"
Lin Xu sneered, and his sharp words were like a knife piercing Zhang Xingyun's heart.
Zhang Xingyun knelt on the ground in despair and murmured: "My family was destroyed because of this damn mechanism technique. Do you know why I want to make mechanism animals?"
"Because this was my grandson's favorite when he was alive."
"I promised to give him a machine dog, but I made ten, a hundred, or a thousand machine dogs."
"But my grandson can't come back."
"Every time I use the carving knife, my heart feels like it's being torn apart."
Lin Xu said: "Your family is prosperous because of the mechanism technique, but it has declined because of the mechanism technique. There is no crime in the mechanism technique, but you are a coward who blames everything on the mechanism technique."
"Because you can't find a place to vent."
"The enemy is too powerful, so powerful that it scares you and makes you despair, so much so that you dare not take revenge at all."
"Those people just now should be people from Kasumigaseki's religion!"
The Xiaguan Sect was originally just a small and insignificant sect in the world. By chance, their leader met Zhang Xingyun.
And Zhang Xingyun also has ambitions.
The two hit it off immediately, and the Xiaguan sect's power in machine arts greatly increased due to Zhang Xingyun, and it became a famous sect in the world for a time.
Unfortunately, the power of the mechanism technique attracted too many people to covet it. As a result, the Kasumiguan Sect was broken up and had to be hidden.
Zhang Xingyun’s family also died in that battle.
This incident is the famous "Agency Gate Incident" in the world.
In the end, the imperial power came to an end and blocked all news about mechanism techniques, and even prohibited anyone from creating any more lethal mechanism creations.
The power of the machine is so terrifying that even the imperial power is afraid of it. Unfortunately, the former emperor had no ideas or ambitions and never thought of using the machine to make the country more powerful.
Of course, there may be some encouragement from the eunuchs behind this, because if the imperial power is allowed to obtain the mechanism skills, then their plan to evade the imperial power will be declared bankrupt.
It was the imperial court that precipitated the incident, but the eunuchs were the masterminds behind it.
It's okay to let the late emperor have fun, but let him come up with such a sophisticated agency incident, forget it, this is even more outrageous than his father.
Zhang Xingyun could guess it even if he didn't know.
Because except for the one from the Imperial City, no one could so easily control the situation in the world and make the Kasumiguan Sect, which was at its peak at the time, disappear overnight.
Ever since Zhang Xingyun knew that his enemy was the imperial court, he was afraid and did not dare to take revenge.
Finally, I came to Sanhang Village to live in seclusion.
Why come here.
Because this is the place closest to the imperial power.
Up to this moment, Zhang Xingyun was actually still struggling.
On the one hand, there is the blood feud between family members.
On the other hand is the fear of imperial power.
This can also be seen from those aggressive organ animals.
He wanted to avenge his family, but he was also afraid of the imperial power. In the end, he could only pile them up in this courtyard without taking any action.
"Zhang Xingyun, do you know who I am?" Lin Xu put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Zhang Xingyun raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. Although his face was immature, his pupils still showed an edge that was not for this age group.
Sophisticated, profound, and unfathomable.
There must be a thoughtful soul hidden in this young body.
"To know my affairs so easily, and to have land gods following me, you must be from the palace!"
"The palace has long been emptied out by the Xue family, and there is only one person of your age group."
"The current emperor, Lin Xu!"
"How dare you call His Majesty by his first name!" Bai Ye's eyes widened in anger. He was about to explode, but was stopped by Lin Xu.
And his words also proved Zhang Xingyun's words.
"Little old man, see your majesty!"
Guessing yourself and admitting it to others are always two different feelings. He can keep his expression straight when guessing.
But when the other party really admits that he is the emperor.
Still unable to bear the fear, he knelt down and saluted.
The imperial power, no, it should be the dark armed guards, has already made the terror of the imperial power deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Whether it's You Jiuli or Zhang Xingyun.
Almost all of them had a grudge against the former emperor.
But he didn't dare to take revenge.
The tyranny of the late emperor, wine pools and meat forests, will inevitably cause a lot of anger and resentment, but in the end everything remains calm and the country is stable.
Even Lin Xu couldn't help but feel numb.
How many people did Anwuwei kill to make others fear like this?
That's all for You Jiuli, but Zhang Xingyun is a master of mechanisms and can make him fear like this.
It's hard to imagine how crazy Anwuwei was at that time.
Lin Xu was right to let the Anwu Guards disband.
If you still use the Anwu Guard, it will be equivalent to letting yourself bear the sins that the late emperor did.
I went to hell and left him with a mess, and in the end I almost inherited a pile of debt, which was even worse than inheriting Huabei.
If the late emperor were here, Lin Xu would probably give him a few big mouths. Others cheat on their father, but this guy cheats on his son.
"Zhang Xingyun, do you hate the court? Or do you hate me?" Lin Xu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course. I was not even born when your family died. Since the late emperor died when I was one year old, I have been a puppet of the Xue family."
"The entire imperial court is controlled by the Xue family and has nothing to do with me."
"If you want to inflict the late emperor's hatred on me, then I have nothing to say."
Lin Xu's words directly distanced himself from the relationship. However, he is the son of the late emperor after all, and there are some things that are useless no matter how much you deny them.
Zhang Xingyun was silent. Of course he knew that Lin Xu was a puppet of the Xue family. After all, although he had not dared to take revenge in these years, he never stopped investigating the imperial court.
But when I thought about Lin Xu being that descendant.
It is impossible to say that there is no hatred.
But what Lin Xu said was right. Lin Xu was not even born at that time. No matter how great the blood feud was, it should not be forced on others.
Father's debt must be paid by son?
That's just a way for the incompetent to escape.
If you don't have the ability to find someone else's father, but you are looking for someone else's son, why don't you look for the other person's grandchildren?
In fact, his hatred should have ended the moment the late emperor died. He had no ability to take revenge when the late emperor was alive, so looking for his son now would only make him look even more incompetent.
Everyone dies, even emperors.
The late emperor died, and everything was over.
But what Lin Xu said next made him deeply moved.
