The old craftsman held the baby in his arms and took a few steps back, "You... please don't pass."
Isn't she going to take away the things in his hands?
Although these were all leaked from the Shenji Pavilion through informal channels, he spent real money to buy them, a lifetime of savings, his lifeblood!
Destroying these would be more terrible than eating him!
Ling Xiyue smiled and sat back helplessly, "Old man, I think you should know who I am by now, so you should know that I have the right to take the things in your hands regardless of emotion or reason.
Confiscated and destroyed."
She smiled half-smilingly at the old craftsman, looking like a gentleman who speaks but does not do anything.
My heart ached when I heard it was confiscated, let alone the word "destroy". The old craftsman's eyes turned white and he couldn't stand still.
Ling Xiyue folded her arms around her chest and was leaning leisurely, looking at him quietly like that, with a vague smile on her face from beginning to end, making it impossible to guess what she wanted to do.
Life or death, just one sentence, you say it, but she just kept grinding like this, which really makes people lose their temper at all.
It took the old craftsman a long time to hold back a complete sentence, "Your Majesty, please show your respect, this, this thing is correct."
He wanted to say that if he wanted to destroy it, just destroy it, as long as he didn't touch these drawings and devices.
"What's your surname?" Ling Xiyue suddenly said.
That tone didn't sound harsh, nor did it sound like someone in a high position.
The old craftsman was also startled, not knowing why, and responded reflexively, "Wu, everyone calls me blacksmith Wu."
"Blacksmith Wu..." Ling Xiyue smiled and nodded, "Okay, why don't we make a deal."
"trade?"
Blacksmith Wu's white beard trembled.
His intuition told him that nothing good was happening.
Ling Xiyue looked at him, "I don't need to confiscate the things in your hands, and I won't hold you accountable for copying my Shenji Pavilion's weapons."
Before blacksmith Wu's happy expression surfaced, he heard Ling Xiyue say again, "But as a condition, you have to work for me for three years."
The implication is that you work hard and work hard without any salary...xdw8
"Do, do something..." Blacksmith Wu Cang said with obvious hesitation on his old face, "I, I am just a blacksmith, and it is difficult for me to take on a big job. You'd better find someone else to do it."
He is only responsible for building weapons for the Northern Yi royal family, and has nothing to do with other research. He lives a comfortable life, but he doesn't want to get involved in other things. He will get nothing for himself. The most important thing is that he is ready to retire after finishing this work.
.
Not even taking jobs from the royal family!
I don’t want to get mixed up with other muddy water at all.
"Don't you agree?" Ling Xiyue's smile suddenly became evil, "Then I will report it to your eldest princess and ask her to thoroughly investigate the channels through which you purchased these things. The old man should go to the enclosure first and have a good rest. As for destroying these things
I won’t bother you to do it yourself..."
With that said, she stretched out her hand to pull the device in blacksmith Wu's hand.
Play tricks on her?
"No, no, no!"
Blacksmith Wu quickly hugged him.
He, who had been frightened by Ling Xiyue before, was now extremely vulnerable.
"Okay, okay." Blacksmith Wu said as if he was breaking a jar, "Oh, I'm really scared of you. Tell me. If you have any orders, just tell me directly. Don't beat around the bush. Just don't touch these treasures of mine.
, you can do whatever you ask me to do.”
There is no way, Ling Xiyue's ability to pinch people's lifeblood is not something that can only be accomplished in a day or two.
"Isn't that right? It's easy to discuss things, and I won't let you suffer." Ling Xiyue took back her hand, and the smile on her face became brighter.
Blacksmith Wu An rolled his eyes at Ling Xiyue and muttered words that only he could understand.
Come on!
In this situation, does he dare to propose any conditions?
Either he goes to jail and his wealth and treasures are confiscated, or he obeys her words. He has never seen such a shrewd person!
Ling Xiyue looked at the aggrieved old man in front of her who was still frightened and angry, but dared not speak out. The corners of her mouth curved secretly, she straightened up and reached out to pull out the paper roll rolled up in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Wu, the blacksmith, was like a frightened bird.
Ling Xiyue stared at him briefly, saying that the old man didn't dare to resist, so he could only let go silently.
"I told you, what you have in your hand is just a broken drawing, which is meaningless." Ling Xiyue walked to the wooden platform aside, unfolded the drawing, picked up a piece of black charcoal next to it, and scrawled on it, "This
This is the real structural diagram inside the Thousand Machine Crossbow."
Blacksmith Wu stepped forward quickly, "This..."
At first glance, the eyes covered by the messy eyebrows suddenly glowed with golden light!
"That's right!" He slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I think of it? It's actually so simple. I've been thinking about it for more than half a year, haha, that's right."
He traced his beard and showed an expression of enlightenment after the clouds had been cleared away.
That dancing look makes me want to jump.
If he had any doubts before, then everything in front of him completely confirmed that the little girl in front of him was the god behind the Shenji Pavilion!
"I just said, not only the Thousand Machine Crossbow, but also the designs of many other weapons, you have the opportunity to come into contact with..." Ling Xiyue raised her hand, and the charcoal stone in her hand fell into the molten iron red slurry.
In the middle, a 'chi' sound disappeared.
Blacksmith Wu Gang's face was still full of despair, but now it was completely replaced by joy, "Really!"
Can he really get the complete weapon design drawings in Shenji Pavilion?
"Is this where my sincerity ends?" Ling Xiyue clicked on the drawings on the table.
Some people always seem to miss the point...
Maybe talented people are like this.
"Yes, that's right." Blacksmith Wu Baobei picked up the drawing and stared at Ling Xiyue with his bright old eyes, "You just said, what do you want me to do?"
"..." Ling Xiyue's eyebrows twitched.
Could this be Xiang Lao's long-lost brother?
Ling Xiyue clapped her hands and walked out, "You should study my sincerity first. As for what to do, when the time comes, someone will naturally contact you. You just need to remember your promise."
"Eh, eh..." Blacksmith Wu stretched his neck and called to her.
I just wanted to drive Ling Xiyue away, but I don't know what's going on with his reluctant expression now.
There was still something else to do, so Ling Xiyue didn't stay any longer and waved her hand without looking back.
"Sister Ling..."
Little Beiyi King happened to run back at this moment and bumped into him at the door.
"Is it okay?"
Ling Xiyue touched his head.
The little guy shook the black ring on his wrist, his cheeks flushed, "It's really fixed!"
"That's good, let's go." Ling Xiyue led the little guy who was still in the excitement and walked out.
After a while, blacksmith Wu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why does he feel that he has been sold out for no reason?
In the end, it seemed like he was behind it!
Ling Xiyue's big deceit was a combination of coaxing and deceiving, first with courtesy, then with soldiers, then with soldiers, then with courtesy, with a slap in the face and a piece of candy, three times five times five times two times to knock the old man out, which is equivalent to signing a contract of betrayal.
If she stays any longer, I'm afraid people will cry and yell, begging her...
