That's what Lu Cheng thought from the beginning.
Asking for food on someone else's territory?
It's impossible to do.
Once ambushed, death is certain.
As for the territory along the south of the Yangtze River, the territory is huge, and there is no telling where the Wang family will take action.
Then just give him a flaw!
If the Wang family is confident enough, they will definitely take advantage of it.
They tampered with the grain boats and laid down heavy killing formations along the river, leaving other places weak!
The Wang family heard that Bai Suwen was going to Jiangnan to slay demons.
Big business
Wang Shanghe notified several eldest brothers and fathers, and unanimously decided to spend a lot of money.
Construction started on the largest grain boat in the dock!
And give him top-grade spiritual stones to do his best in everything.
The Wang family acted cautiously and sent a flying sword to the court to report the matter one month in advance.
Sure enough, after more than half a month, the court sent a worship supervisor.
"Your Majesty, the supervisor is here." The maid leaned over and said, "Because of what happened last time, the court was suspicious of us. The people we came to worship this time were rogue cultivators of puppetry. I heard that they had obtained the fragments of the Mohist organization and were practicing as imperial guards. The materialized god is very powerful.”
Wang Shanghe frowned.
The heart is not good.
Although the Mohist court is weak, can it still send such capable people and strangers?
Little did Wang Shanghe know that the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River was plagued by floods and monsters, and there were many puppet regimes in the north. The court had long been out of rice, and was extremely anxious.
This time Su Wen went to Jiangnan. If the incident was really settled, it would be a perfect opportunity to win over the cultivation sects, weaken the Jiangnan royal family, and consolidate the power of the imperial court!
Wang Shanghe took a deep breath. Although the Wang family's mechanism skills are strong, this person is not easy to deal with at first sight!
Su Wen and Chen Lu were an idiot, but this one was a middle-aged man.
It's hard to say, there's going to be a machine battle.
"Where are they?" Wang Shanghe asked.
"Master, he saw Chen Lu first!"
Meng puppet.
As his name suggests, he is a famous craftsman in the imperial court and a casual practitioner of mechanical skills.
In his early years, he traveled around the world and had great opportunities.
By accident, I found the [Remains of the War Dragon in the Cloud]!
Legend has it that this was a giant war weapon jointly built by the Gongshu family and the Mohist family during the Han-Hungarian War.
Meng Puppet transformed into a god and realized Taoism in it.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he served as an official and built a government city.
Unfortunately, most of his works were destroyed during the Eight Kings Rebellion.
This time, the imperial court sent him to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the construction of boats and help the Taoist sect overcome the flood.
Meng Puppet left Luoyang at night, without any entourage, and traveled alone through the corpse-infested area in the south of the Yangtze River.
The first one I found was Su Wen, Hall Master Chen.
Today, Lu Cheng is still surveying the terrain.
There was a faint sound of a crankshaft coming from behind.
Lu Cheng's ears twitched and he murmured.
"[Mechanism - Flowing Horse], Extraordinary Era, late Han Dynasty craftsmanship, about thirty-six years old, aura rear drive, left front foot slightly flawed, flying wind power, low, self-modified counterweight, acceptable"
After a while.
A machine horse galloped over.
Yao Ji was surprised to find that when the heavy horse's hoof stepped down, it was indeed shallow on the left and deep on the right.
This was all she could understand.
The visitor stopped the horse, looked at Lu Cheng, and then got off the horse.
"Master Chen Lu," the visitor said.
"Who are you?" Lu Cheng asked suspiciously.
The puppet master of this kind of craft will not have low cultivation level.
The Wang family? ? ?
"I serve as a monk. I am currently the governor of Jiangnan. My surname is Meng." The visitor flashed his badge.
Lu Cheng was startled for a moment, then understood.
This is the Wang family.
Well done.
This matter was specially reported to the imperial court, and a letter may have been sent to the Taoist sect. Is this evidence left for the future?
I'm afraid something happened by then. In the eyes of Mr. Meng, it was his own poor command or improper operation that led to Su Wen's defeat on Jiang Shang, right?
"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry to hear you come from afar."
"Hall Master Chen, I came to you first, which means that you and I will go to the Wang family to ask for the ship. The construction of the machinery is entirely up to me!"
Meng Puppet.
For those who face government puppets all day long, a little social fear is inevitable. Getting along with others is unavoidable and stiff, and there are very few red tapes for craftsmen.
"Hiss." Lu Cheng frowned and said, "Mr. Meng, this is the Wang Family Shipyard."
"Okay, I don't believe in the Wang family's technology, and you don't understand it, just follow my words and leave!" After that, he pulled Lu Cheng away.
"Ah this."
What Lu Cheng was thinking was that Mr. Meng didn't know where he came from, and he couldn't be allowed to interfere with the shipbuilding matters. Otherwise, wouldn't the Wang family be in trouble?
Meng Puppet thought differently. He just wanted to finish his errand quickly and return to Luoyang.
Lu Chenggang wanted to refuse.
Yao Ji's voice sounded in her heart: "Sword Master, Wang Shanghe is here, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wang family's flying sedan arrived.
In fact, this kind of mechanism cannot fly at high altitudes, and it has no protective capabilities, but it is quite luxurious, and the surrounding jewelry is very eye-catching.
"I heard that Lord Meng has arrived, why didn't you go to the house first?" The Fourth Young Master Wang was not on the sedan chair, but lowered the sedan chair and led Meng Puppet to sit down.
The Fourth Young Master Wang met Lu Cheng and said, "Palace Master Chen is also here. That's just right. I'll go down and invite you if you can. My family has already arranged a reception banquet. I'd like you two to come and talk to me at home."
Meng Puppet and Lu Cheng looked at each other.
"Feast?" Meng Puppet frowned. He held an important position and was quite extravagant on weekdays, but he always felt that it was inappropriate to hold a grand banquet at this time.
Wang Shanghe seemed to notice something.
"Mr. Meng, the late emperor had a decree, why not eat minced meat? No one is allowed to die of hunger under the king's land. According to the wind of Jin, Mr. Meng has come from afar, so he should be a feast!"
Lu Cheng also frowned.
This is so ridiculous!
"You two, our Wang family is not without food, and we are willing to open a warehouse. However, the corpse epidemic is serious, and there is no water and land access. We can only witness the disasters of the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River. During this dinner, the three of us will have a detailed discussion. On behalf of the Wang family, Mr. Meng On behalf of the imperial court, Hall Master Chen represents the world of cultivation and is determined to completely resolve this matter and restore stability to the soil and water of Jiangnan!"
