"This dispute was caused by them insulting our Lord for no reason. It is legitimate for us to demand an apology..."
"Legitimate? Those two are my followers, and their words represent my opinions."
"What?"
Zhu Shen made no secret of his malice, and his arrogant attitude that was almost common sense made Feiyan and Hongyu dumbfounded.
"Those two are my followers, and their words are my words. If you have any objections, ask your boss to speak out, otherwise it won't be the turn of a mere follower to interrupt!"
Zhu Shen declared in a strong tone, while the two women remained silent as if they were overwhelmed.
In terms of common sense, the positions of Fangshi's followers are quite different. When Zhu Shen brought out his identity as a good person to suppress him, Feiyan and Hongyu couldn't compete with him in any way. There were only two people who could negotiate with Zhu Shen on an equal footing.
Everyone follows the boss, but since the goal from the very beginning was to "ensure that the project progresses without interruption," calling Gu Chen out now is putting the cart before the horse.
From a pure point of view of Jianghu rules, Zhu Shen's behavior of forcing a fight based on his status is extremely unnecessary. However, no matter how disgusted and angry Feiyan Red Fish is, he can't do it like using a sword against a staff.
He took action and beat Zhu Shen violently.
If they really do that, it will definitely cause an uproar in the public. As a result, regardless of whether they are justified or not, Gewufang and Gu Chen are bound to be in a difficult position that is criticized by everyone. Let’s not forget about the pioneers, since the two have joined Gewufang now
Of course, my subordinates cannot put the boss in trouble because of their temporary anger.
"Red fish..."
"Sigh, I get it."
The female flame wielder waved her staff in displeasure, and the seven flaming swords immediately split into several streams of flames, which traced back to the end of the staff.
The frightening flames that enveloped the square also dissipated as the flame sword decomposed. The staff and swordsman who had already collapsed in the battle formation suddenly collapsed to the ground. At this moment, everyone's attention had already turned to the newly appeared inspector.
"Hey, is that the envoy sent by the imperial court?"
"That's right, I heard it looks like a good one."
"Liangzao? Hey, isn't that the same level as Chao Weng?"
The onlookers were whispering, and if you listened carefully, you could see that the volume was obviously much lower than before.
It has nothing to do with whether Zhu Shen's personality is poor or not. The elixir urn is the cornerstone of the people's livelihood and the country. The masters who forge these weapons certainly have extraordinary prestige in the eyes of the people. The atmosphere in the square was originally biased towards the Gewufang.
This moment has been repressed.
"Hmph, the unruly people in the wilderness really fear power rather than virtue..."
Zhu Shen hummed heavily, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes, and found a familiar figure among the cowering crowd.
The only person who had seen Zhu Shen at the scene was Chang Pu, who was in charge of the reception last time, and she also served as the Supervisor of the Fangzao Division. In the absence of both the Supervisor and the Young Supervisor, Chang Pu could be said to be the highest-ranking person on the scene.
She was the person in charge, so when Zhu Shen greeted her, she had to step forward and answer her no matter how unwilling she was.
"...Clerical Acorus, I saw the inspector."
"Without courtesy." Zhu Shen waved his hand magnanimously, and took advantage of the situation to act like a court official. "I was ordered by the court to inspect the affairs of Liyang Fang. This visit to Fangzao should have been a secret visit. If it hadn't been for this
If there is no unnecessary commotion... well, is Chao Weng here? I have something to discuss with you."
"Sorry, the supervisor is busy with work and doesn't come to the Yamen often."
Calamus replied in a low voice, but couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.
In the past, Zhu Shen was ungrateful and turned his back on Li Yang, making Chao Shen, who recommended him, unable to see Li Yang Gong. Now he is regretting and reflecting in Xinhefang. Compared with Chao Shen, Zhu Shen himself was indifferent and wreaking havoc in Li Yang, which is to say shameless.
If so, I'm afraid no one can win him.
"If the inspector has something to report, I can convey it to you."
"Would you like to convey this to me..." Changpu suggested, letting Zhu Shen think for a moment and snap his fingers, and then the corner of his mouth turned into an arc as if a conspiracy had succeeded. "That's okay, this might be just the right occasion. I'm going to ask you to make sure that this is the right occasion for you."
The proposal will be conveyed to Chao Weng, so just open your eyes and take a good look at it."
"Wha, what?"
Calamus blinked in shock, while Zhu Shen raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
There were two vans parked beside the square, one of which was the van for Zhu Shen and his attendants, and the other was covered tightly with gray cloth. Zhu Shen seemed to activate some mechanism by snapping his fingers, and the van covered with gray cloth
Thick steam spewed out from everywhere. Then a burly mechanical beast lifted up the gray cloth and stood up, spraying steam as it walked towards the square.
The appearance of the mechanical beast is similar to that of a bull. It is about three feet tall at the shoulders and nearly nine feet long. Its body made of iron and wood looks majestic and solid. When the iron bull sprays steam and moves forward steadily, the vigor it exudes is so powerful.
The people around him retreated involuntarily, and even the female swordsmen showed unconcealable expressions of wavering.
Tieniu walked until he was behind Zhu Shen before stopping.
Chang Pu looked up in shock and found a short man lying behind Tien Niu. He speculated that he should be the person responsible for controlling the robot beast. However, even without the ability to move autonomously, the sophisticated robot beast in front of him could still be regarded as a creation of the master.
Such a model, at least with Liyang's current manufacturing capabilities, it is definitely impossible to reproduce it.
I heard that Zhu Shen was researching the subject of robotic beasts when he was funded by Li Yanggong. It seems that he was not without ability to be promoted to a good craftsman. Of course, he admits it, but he suddenly brought out the robotic beasts he created to show off. What do you want to do?
Calamus looked at Zhu Shen in confusion, but the latter seemed quite satisfied with the shocking effect brought by the appearance of the robot beast, and paused for a while before continuing the previous topic.
"Calamus Document, this 'heavy hoof' is the result of my creation a while ago. I brought Li Yang this time for no other reason than to recommend it to you and others."
"What? Recommend it to Fang Zuosi?" Iris was shocked.
"Exactly."
Zhu Shen nodded proudly and deliberately raised his voice to show off to the onlookers rather than explaining to Chang Pu.
"The heavy hooves I made do not require food and food. They can move as long as you concentrate on energy. They can carry a thousand kilograms of materials and travel hundreds of miles a day, even on steep slopes in the wilderness. In addition, considering the situation of wild monsters here in Liyang, this heavy hoof can move easily.
It is specially equipped with iron armor defense, so you don’t have to worry even if you encounter wild monsters.
High-grade Yunji like this is rare to see in Huangling Chengtang. Originally, the Qin Zao Division strictly controlled such creations, but the imperial court considered that Liyangfang manufacturing industry was lagging behind, and the imperial court repeatedly begged for it.
That’s why I was approved to bring Chong Hoo to Liyang.”
You barbarians still don’t kowtow and say thank you!?
Although he would not say such wild words in public, Zhu Shen raised his chin and already exposed his attitude.
Displaying such an exquisite craft in a remote place would naturally cause a sensation. Zhu Shen was fully expecting the crowd to worship the mask, but whether he was overly shocked or something else, the square did not erupt in cheers as expected.
Chao, at most there are only a few whispers.
Zhu Shen, who had been waiting for a long time, looked down in surprise.
