Chapter Twenty-Three: Rong Workshop (Fourth Update)

Lin Xi's pace seemed to be slow, but every step he took was actually farther than ordinary people.

As he walked through Zhongzhou City, the crowd behind him became more and more dispersed, and it was no longer as dense as before.

When he came, what he did for the people of this empire naturally couldn't be compared with Dean Zhang, and what he did naturally couldn't replace Dean Zhang's position in the hearts of people in this world, so he didn't have the slightest frustration in his heart because his words couldn't soothe the mood of these Yun Qin people for a while, he just turned a corner and quietly unfolded the scroll of paper that Zhen Kuai stuffed into his hand.

The soul melting power released by Emperor Yun Qin at the end had already made his mind a little confused, and he knew that Emperor Yun Qin's biggest intention was to let himself enter the Ascending Mountain Range to seek answers in addition to letting the Yun Qin people start to suspect some beautiful stories.

And now the scroll of paper that Zhen Kuai specially stuffed into his hand at this time also made him feel that something unusual must have happened.

There are only five words on the paper roll: "Chengxi Rong Workshop." ”

Lin Xi rolled the paper in the palm of his hand and shook it into dust silently, and then went directly to the west of the city.

There are many workshops in the west of Zhongzhou City.

Lin Xi hadn't been here before, and he didn't know where the Rong Workshop was located, but on the street far away from these workshops, Lin Xi was vaguely able to determine which Rong Workshop it was.

Because at this moment, among the workshops along the river in the west of the city, only one workshop still has a thick column of smoke coming out.

At this moment, there were still many people following Lin Xi, and as Lin Xi got closer and closer to those workshops, many people, especially some cultivators in Zhongzhou City, also found a pillar of smoke that seemed extremely abrupt in the silent sky.

They were more sure than Lin Xi that that place was where the Rong Workshop was located.

There are a total of thirteen workshops in the west of the city, and twelve of them belong to the court, specializing in making various ordnance for the court.

The Rong Workshop is not the largest among these workshops, but it is the workshop with the most master craftsmen, and it does not produce standard weapons, only some special weapons and soul soldiers.

The most suspicious thing at this moment is that the Rong Workshop and several other high-level workshops in Zhongzhou City are all under the jurisdiction of the Rong family.

The Rong family and the Leng family, after the autumn festival, are already the most important forces in Zhongzhou City, today's major event is closely related to the Rong family, other workshops have not started normally, how can the Rong family's workshop still maintain its operation in an orderly manner?

Lin Xi's footsteps are still not particularly fast.

At this moment, the vast majority of people in Zhongzhou City have not returned to their usual place, behind him is bustling, but in front of him is empty.

In this empty city, no slight movement could escape his perception at the moment.

What made his mood more and more solemn was that the people in the workshop should have known about his arrival at this moment, but those columns of smoke that rushed to 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 who hid this secret would not care at all when he found out that the secret had been discovered by him.

......

Outside the workshop, there were still Zhongzhou Guard sergeants in silver armor patrolling.

These Yun Qin soldiers who were still strictly guarding the military orders didn't know about the drastic changes in the Yun Qin Palace, but they all reached the thunderclouds that shrouded the palace above, and they all reached the lightning like the wrath of the sky, and at this moment, to Lin Xi, who appeared in sight, these Yun Qin soldiers who had spent a long time in extremely nervous and uneasy emotions all stiffened.

"Emperor Yun Qin has died, and will be succeeded by the eldest princess. ”

Lin Xi, who walked to the door of the workshop, said very simply and directly, and then asked, "Who is the colonel among you?"

A young silver-armored sergeant's lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't make a sound.

"Before I came here, was there anything to be delivered?" Lin Xi asked, looking at the Zhongzhou Guard School officer, who was unable to make a sound for a while.

The young silver-armored sergeant swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously before subconsciously shaking his head, "No." ”

Lin Xi nodded, he didn't say anything, he crossed these Yun Qin soldiers, pushed open the heavy black iron door of the workshop, and walked in.

With just his senses, he walked straight to the workshop closest to the river.

When he walked into the workshop, where several furnaces stood, he stopped dozens of people inside, all looking a little pale.

At the back of several monstrous furnaces, there are several work areas that are isolated by metal plates, making them look unusually clean and tidy.

There are countless tiny metal and hedron parts, arranged on a rack covered with various flannel.

However, at this moment, Lin Xi's eyes did not have the monster-like furnace in this workshop, nor did he have all the figures of those craftsmen who stopped when they knew his arrival, and he didn't even have a specific impression of the interior of this workshop in his mind.

He didn't notice how many strange things there were in the interior of the workshop, what kind of arrangement it was, and the moment he crossed over the craftsmen, his gaze was already fixed on one of the things in the tooling area.

It was an extremely unique heavy metal runner.

On the top of the runner, there are many quaint textures, and in a shaft in the center of the wheel, there are many small ring-shaped metal and balance wheels.

Lin Xi's face gradually became a little pale.

He passed the craftsmen through them like air, and came to the heavy metal wheel.

He hoped he had gone wrong, but when the tips of his toes touched the heavy metal wheel, he knew it was all real.

He turned around with a pause in his breathing, and asked, "Are you making this thing?"

All these craftsmen couldn't understand Lin Xi's emotions and words at this moment.

None of them said anything, but the several elderly masters led by them all nodded.

"Who asked you to make this kind of thing?" Lin Xi asked with difficulty as he looked at these master craftsmen.

"It's Lord Rong. A master craftsman calmed down.

Lin Xi looked at the master craftsman who was wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Engineering and asked, "Which Lord Rong?"

"Lord Rong Zongsheng. The master craftsman said.

Rong Zongsheng is not the old man who sat behind the heavy curtains in the past, but he was the principal of the Rong family in Zhongzhou City after the autumn festival.

Lin Xi took a deep breath, and then asked, "Where did the methods and materials for refining these things come from, and when did they get here?"

"We're just refining a few of the parts. ”

Hearing that Lin Xi was just trying to track down the origin of these things, the master craftsman became more calm, and explained clearly: "There are two main alloys of these things, which were originally only produced in our workshop here, and some other materials and parts that have been manufactured are all transported from outside. We knew it was an extremely powerful soul weapon, but we didn't know exactly how to assemble it, because we were only told the process of refining a few of the things we were going to refine. ”

After a slight pause, the master craftsman added, "These things were all sent seven days ago. ”

Lin Xi stood in his position at the moment with the heavy metal wheel in front of his toes, there were three such metal wheels, so he said softly with some difficulty: "If you all go according to plan... Shouldn't it be possible to make three parts of this stuff soon?"

"It should be done in five days. The master craftsman said to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi nodded, he didn't say anything to these craftsmen anymore, 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 sun, he felt a little dazzled.

Nangong Weiyang's figure appeared in his sight at this moment.

"The eldest princess didn't go to True Dragon Mountain. Nangong Weiyang had already said before he approached him.

Lin Xi's hands trembled, he looked at Nangong Weiyang and asked, "Even you, haven't tracked down who took her away?"

Nangong Weiyang nodded, and asked Lin Xi, "What's in this workshop?"

"One-wheeled metal puppet, Holy Rank 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 about it, looked at Lin Xi, and said, "Zhang Ping is in Zhongzhou City, even if he is hiding, he will definitely be able to find him, but are you sure you don't go to Thunder Academy first?"

"I hope it doesn't matter to him, or that he has other ideas. Lin Xi looked at Nangong Weiyang and used a lot of strength before he said the second sentence: "And if he really has the arrangement you want, then even if we rush to the Thunder Academy now, I'm afraid it won't be too late at all." ”

"We should go to the southern suburbs. ”

Nangong Weiyang thought seriously again, then she looked up at Lin Xi and said, "We can not be there first. ”
