"I didn't expect that I was so old, but I was still excited by His Majesty's words. ”

In the Arctic Land of Shenzhou, the old Ministry of Industry Shangshu stroked the white beard on his chest, and gently opened his mouth to let out a sigh to the girl beside him, Lao Shangshu's face was still red after excitement, and his whole beard shook and trembled, and his old eyes were even brighter than the young man.

In fact, for the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, in addition to the flexible and skillful hands, the most important part is the eyes, and Lao Shangshu knows the way of it, so his eyes are particularly shining.

It is said that the eyes are the window of a person's soul, so he has served the longest in the world among the six books, but the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who is not sharp often sees through it but does not say it, the governor does not comment on things, only cares about his own affairs, and has won the golden mean.

After Lao Shangshu's old voice fell, the girl recovered slightly from her stunned state, and responded softly:

"Every time I see His Majesty, I think I'm looking at a god. ”

"That's a powerful, loving god, isn't it?"

Lao Shangshu smiled slightly, and then, under the leadership of the Tianhui Army in front, he nodded to the officials who were freely exploring this northern boundary city around him, and at the same time, together with the girl washing the red dust, he stepped on the incomparably hard ice for ten thousand years, and walked towards the bottom of the Arctic Boundary City.

The closer to that Extreme Northern Boundary City, the more fragments and craters on the solid ice in all directions, the denser they became, which meant that an unimaginable battle of high-level cultivators had broken out here, and as the young sect master of the Organ Sect, Xi Hongchen's talent among the younger generation was also outstanding, so his gaze around him became more and more solemn.

"When I was a child, it was a time of war, and I remember my mother always telling me, don't worry, the sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it. ”

Today's old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry didn't know why, there were a lot of words, and after his words fell, he turned his head to look at the girl listening beside him, and continued to speak:

"I was thinking at the time, what kind of people are tall people, who can even withstand the disaster of the sky, and then I realized that those people are actually the same as us, the same two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, so girl, why don't you try it and see if you can become that kind of person?"

As soon as Lao Shangshu's soft inquiry fell, the pace of washing the red dust suddenly slowed down, and then turned his head to look at the front, his beautiful face was full of surprise, and his eyes were full of doubts like amber.

Then Lao Shangshu smiled lightly, raised his hand and gently touched the head of the girl in front of him, and continued to speak:

"There is a specialization in the art industry, our craftsmen are not as good as soldiers when they go into battle to kill the enemy, they are not as good as strategists in terms of eloquence and strategy, and they do not have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea like monks, but craftsmen are an indispensable part of Great Xia, and they are the foundation of the foundation, and the old man is not talented, but in the decades of serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, it can be regarded as a piece of heaven for the craftsmen of Great Xia, but I am too old after all, and I can't live too long. ”

Lao Shangshu's words did not have too strong embarrassment, but were full of indifference, because at his age, he may have already seen the cycle of life and death, but the girl in front of him washed the red dust, and her big eyes were filled with sadness.

It is said that once a person reaches a certain time, he can vaguely feel that his limit is approaching, so Lao Shangshu showed a smile and continued to speak:

"Hongchen, go and participate in the Great Imperial Examination in the near future, the Imperial Examination of the Ministry of Industry is different from other ministries, it is engineering, and Your Majesty is broad-minded, and there is no view of the portal, and you will not be biased because you were born in the sect, the former Confucian master, the current palace master of the Great Xia School Palace is the best example.

"In fact, in the great summer, people who have great ambitions and try to hold up a piece of heaven for others, there are many people, girl, you have to remember that those who strive for the former will never walk alone!"

Lao Shangshu's words were filled with an extremely warm feeling, and then the washing red dust in front of him nodded heavily, although he did not reply, but he was full of firmness, and then Lao Shangshu slowly turned around and continued to walk, and the old man's voice sounded again:

"Let's go, Your Majesty specially left us to wait, there must be something important to arrange. ”

After the Arctic Land dispersed and was freely inspected, it truly returned to its former lonely and cold appearance, because in order for officials with shallow cultivation to survive in this northernmost place, the Great Grandmaster Forbidden Ones of the Radiant Army directly opened the prototype of their own kingdom and covered the entire large-scale void.

From a bird's-eye view of the sky, the prototype of a colorful and huge kingdom is like an open umbrella of heaven and earth, with a full dream color, and then under a cyan giant umbrella, the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry came to Zhao Yu with a backward position of washing red dust, and saluted and greeted.

Zhao Yu's eyes stared at the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry in front of him with an unusually ruddy face for a long time, and then his lips opened lightly, and a soft voice sounded:

"After Xu Lao returns to the Shenjing City, I will ask the people in the palace to bring a cup of tea to the house every day, and I must remember to drink it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Shangshu bowed forward again, and then the voice came out:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the old man has found a successor, and he has no regrets. ”

Lao Shangshu's indifferent voice fell, and Zhao Yu turned his gaze to the washing red dust on the side, and in the ebony black eyes, the girl's fiery body was reflected, like a thorny rose that opened alone in the winter snowfield.

Then the young emperor retracted his gaze, and the infinite pressure on the entire body of the red dust suddenly disappeared, and then Zhao Yu's calm imperial voice sounded in his ears:

"Old Xu, I called you here because I have an arrangement. ”

"Your Majesty, please command!"

Lao Shangshu bowed his head to receive the order, and then Zhao Yu nodded, and slowly spoke:

"I have heard that when the Organ Sect was at its peak, it could even create a puppet that could absorb the vitality and act on its own, which can be called the culmination of the way of the Organ, is there such a thing?"

After Zhao Yu's words, Lao Shangshu turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and then continued to respond:

"Back to Your Majesty, but there is such a thing, this puppet was once the treasure of the Organ Sect Zhenzong, and he was not afraid of pain when he fought and killed, and he was not afraid of death, and he could shake the high-level grandmaster head-on, but. ”

Lao Shangshu said this, and after a little hesitation, the voice came out again:

"But then it was split in half by the master's sword, and now it is completely scrapped. ”

As soon as these words came out, a trace of discoloration appeared in Zhao Yu's eyes, the grievances between the master and the organ sect back then, Daxia knew it, but few people knew that the master had cut off the treasures of the organ sect, no wonder the old queen mother often said that the master's heart was very small.

After Lao Shangshu's voice fell, Xi Hongchen beside him raised his head and said softly:

"Back to Your Majesty, this puppet, over the years, has actually been repaired by most of the sect, and only a trace of the last soul is needed to completely repair it. ”

"Souls?"

The murmuring sound came from Zhao Yu's mouth, and then he stretched out his hand to step forward, and a ball of light emitting a faint green glow flew out, and the emperor sound sounded again:

"Let's see, is it feasible to use this artifact soul to refine a puppet that can be controlled remotely or by itself?"

After finishing speaking, Lao Shangshu and Xi Hongchen looked up, only to see a Dao soul in the shape of a huge chariot suspended in the ball of light, and then the voice of the young emperor in their ears came in again:

"I can make the entire Ministry of Industry and all the craftsmen of Daxia fully cooperate, but I have one request, mass production!

"Since it is unrealistic and inappropriate to build the Great Wall to encircle the entire Great Xia, then the first step is to fill the coast and borders of the entire thirty-six states of Great Xia with this kind of catapult puppet, so as to reduce the defensive pressure on the mountains and seas in the future!"

Emperor Huanghuang's sound was over, an extremely old and unfamiliar word, and suddenly appeared in Zhao Yu's mind.

Self-propelled artillery!
