The three tests set by Lu Hanjiang were actually not a waste of time. He didn't need someone with great luck and courage, nor did he need an honest person who was too honest. He needed someone who was a little smart but also naive.
Therefore, Mr. Zhou is very suitable. He has fantasies about the martial arts world and has some unrealistic admiration for the righteous martial arts. Moreover, in order to achieve success, he also has some opportunistic cleverness.
Such a person met Lu Hanjiang's requirements, so even though he saw that he was cheating in the third test, or in other words, it was precisely because he saw his little tricks that Lu Hanjiang finally chose him, believing that he should be able to give
Wu-Tang points a good direction.
Speaking of which, the Wudang Clan's actions disrupted Lu Hanjiang's itinerary. He originally planned to go south leisurely, stopping and taking in the scenery along the way, but now he had to hurry up and rush to Hengshan to avoid trouble.
However, sharpening the knife is a good way to chop wood. Before going to Hengshan, there is a place that cannot be bypassed.
In the following days, Lu Hanjiang and Yongle did not continue to stop at the passing towns meaninglessly, and went straight to Yingtian Mansion.
"I've met Mr. Lu!"
When the Jin Yiwei guarding the Ge family in plain clothes saw Lu Hanjiang arriving, he immediately greeted him and saluted him, but ignored Princess Yongle who came with him. After all, he was just a general bannerman, and it was naturally impossible for him to recognize the princess who had lived in the palace for a long time.
Lu Hanjiang didn't care about these details, but for the sake of rules, he still said: "The Japanese officials will rest here for the next few days. Also, this is Princess Yongle. I haven't come over to meet her yet."
The commander-in-chief was sweating so much that he hurriedly came forward, knelt down and saluted: "I have neglected Your Highness because of my ignorance. Please forgive me!"
"Get up."
It’s not surprising for those who don’t know. Princess Yongle would not care about such a trivial matter with him. On the contrary, she cared more about this house. When she saw “Ge House” written on the plaque at the door, she couldn’t help but become curious and asked:
"here it is?"
"It's a house under the name of Jin Yiwei. We'll stay here for the next few days," Lu Hanjiang said concisely and concisely: "I want to take away a few things. You first-"
"Xiao Lu! Qiqi!"
A familiar shout interrupted Lu Hanjiang's words, which made him a little confused. He looked up and saw that girl Shangluo appeared out of nowhere, hanging upside down on the eaves in front of the main hall, holding peaches and waving to him.
What's going on? Why is this girl here? And who is Qiqi?
"Aluo!"
Princess Yongle was obviously overjoyed when she saw Shangluo. She left Lu Hanjiang and ran to find Shangluo. The girl jumped down from the eaves and her Highness the Princess clapped her hands and praised her.
Lu Hanjiang was speechless. He looked at the general guard guarding the door and asked, "Why is that girl here?"
"My lord, wasn't that your order?"
General Qi lowered his head and said with some fear: "After you sent the letter a few days ago, Ji Baihu brought people here. Miss Shang came with Ji Baihu, saying that she was following your order...
..”
"I'll come whenever...forget it, I'll come."
Huangfu Xiaoyuan shouldn't be so imprudent. It seems that Shangluo did it on her own initiative.
There was nothing that could be done for the hostage. According to her level of importance, it was impossible for her to be released from the capital casually, because her possible life experiences were all extremely unusual, but unfortunately none of them could be revealed, so it was
Just like that, a loophole was taken advantage of.
But soon Lu Hanjiang felt relieved. It was okay to take one kid with him anyway, so it was okay to take two with him. He just treated it as a companion to the princess to relieve her boredom.
Glancing at the two girls flying around like butterflies, Lu Hanjiang turned his head and said seriously: "Take me to the backyard. Have you finished taking care of that thing?"
"Don't worry, sir. The brothers got that thing out of the ground overnight. If you need it, you can use it at any time." The chief flag replied respectfully.
"Take me to take a look." Lu Hanjiang walked towards the backyard, and the chief flag followed him.
The Ge family's house has been secretly seized by the Jin Yiwei since the death of Master Yan. There are too many shady things here, so it's not easy to take action like this.
And some of them are not something that can be taken just as easily. For more than half a year, Lu Hanjiang has been improving his skills in machine arts based on the manuals left by Master Yan. His hard work paid off, and he was finally able to impress the world's number one machine master.
The thing below moved its hands and feet.
The front and back yards of Ge's house are simply two worlds. The front yard has green tiles and red eaves and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is the best choice for welcoming guests and residents. The back yard is a pile of bricks and rubble. It is so eerie that it can be compared with the ghosts in the storybook.
Comparable.
The reason for this is very simple. When Lu Hanjiang eliminated Yanshi, he also destroyed the mechanism array in the backyard. Since he couldn't restore it, he simply had it demolished completely.
And what he wanted to take away this time was the large mechanism monster hidden deep in the secret room of the formation that Yanshi had not chosen to activate at the beginning.
Compared with the one that was kicked out by Lu Hanjiang before, this mechanism monster is eight feet tall when unfolded, and its four arms are equipped with two siege crossbows and two copper and iron pillars.
Looking up at this machine monster again, Lu Hanjiang couldn't help but marvel at Yan Shi's knowledge of machine skills. This machine monster could be called the most ferocious murder weapon of this era.
"Have everyone made arrangements?" Lu Hanjiang asked without looking back while stroking the torso of the machine monster.
"The fifty registered craftsmen are already waiting in the city. Don't worry, sir, the details are all clean." The commander-in-chief replied.
"Call everyone in." Lu Hanjiang rubbed his hands and looked at the machine monster's eyes flashing with eagerness to try.
"yes."
The commander-in-chief took only two steps and turned back to ask: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Qianhu went to a nearby county for business, do you want to notify him to come back?"
The Qianhu in the general's mouth was Yan Feng, who Lu Hanjiang arranged to be stationed here. Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "No need, just let him do his own thing. Besides, I can't stay for a few days to deal with this thing."
OK, let’s go.”
Not long after, a large number of craftsmen came to the scene. Everyone was stunned when they saw the huge machine monster. Some of them were so frightened that they knelt down and shouted that the ancestor was resurrected.
Lu Hanjiang was not interested in responding to their exclamations. Time was limited, so he immediately called on everyone to start further transformation of the monster.
Being able to transform such a divine creation is such an honor for these craftsmen. They work enthusiastically until the sun goes down without feeling tired.
Lu Hanjiang sat on a chair with a blueprint. He was responsible for planning and coordinating the overall situation. He couldn't do things like swinging a hammer. At this time, Shangluo also appeared from beside him without anyone noticing.
"Xiao Lu, what is this thing? It's so big!"
Shangluo raised his head and opened his mouth wide. Lu Hanjiang said with rare melancholy: "It's a pity that this is the work of a master of mechanism. If he hadn't gone astray, I don't know how high this mechanism technique would have been brought to."
The more in-depth Lu Hanjiang studied the mechanics, the more surprised he was at Yanshi's unbridled creativity and superb skills. At this time, he really felt a little pity that the old man had met a tragic end for Lao Shizi's immortality.
Lu Hanjiang pulled Shangluo back, who wanted to touch her, and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is the princess?"
"Seeing as you don't plan to eat, Qiqi asked me to deliver food to you." After saying that, Shangluo took out the food box. In fact, Princess Yongle originally planned to deliver it herself, but unfortunately she saw it when she arrived in the backyard.
After seeing this ghastly scene, he immediately chose to give up and asked this girl to deliver it on his behalf.
Only then did Lu Hanjiang realize that the sky had turned dark. He was so immersed in the world of interest that he didn't realize that it was already past dinner time.
He put down the drawings and asked the craftsmen to rest for a while and eat before coming back to continue. He opened the food box to fill his stomach first.
It must be said that the meal was arranged by the princess herself, and it was not a bit better than the random meals on the road. Lu Hanjiang was sighing with emotion, and then he saw Shangluo snatching a crystal bag from him.
"Hey, you came here after you finished eating, right?" Lu Hanjiang glared at Shangluo and moved the food box back.
"It's delicious," Shangluo said with a smile, "Little Lu is a stingy person."
Lu Hanjiang stabbed her forehead with a kuaizi angrily and started to eat for himself. Shangluo rubbed her forehead and talked about another thing: "Xiao Lu, when are you going to teach me martial arts? You and Qi
Qi ran away without saying a word. Fortunately, Sister Ji brought me here and finally I didn’t lose you."
"Isn't your sister Ji already teaching you?"
"But Sister Ji is also very busy, and Xiao Lu, your martial arts are even better."
"That's true."
"Xiao Lu, I said..."
Looking at the rising crescent moon, Shangluo was twirling her fingers, and her watery eyes suddenly showed some ripples. The little girl lowered her voice and asked softly: "You don't find me annoying, do you?"
"how come."
Lu Hanjiang swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at Shangluo in surprise: "We are half-brothers and sisters. Don't worry. From now on, if I stutter, you will wash the dishes."
"Hehe... No! Who wants to wash the dishes for you!"
Shang Luo hit Lu Hanjiang and ran away in a hurry. Lu Hanjiang looked at her leaving figure and narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, Huangfu Xiaoyuan also arrived. During the day, she was responsible for gathering people to arrange transportation work, and she was only busy now.
Make some space.
Lu Hanjiang quickly put down the bowl and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Huangfu Xiaoyuan walked to Lu Hanjiang's side.
"What did you say to that girl?" he asked seemingly unintentionally.
"What's wrong with Miss Shangluo?"
"No, I see you have a good relationship. Just ask."
Lu Hanjiang smiled, then turned to look at the huge machine monster, and his tone gradually became colder: "I will leave this thing to you. If there is not enough manpower for transportation, ask Yan Feng to cooperate with you and transport it to Hengshan as soon as possible. Pay attention,
