Chapter 122
The book scroll in front of him clearly records...
"Pluto Ling!".
[Damn! He really made it?]
[Ridiculous, but very inspirational!]
[All thanks to Zhuge Tang's invention! Now Nanyang City is so prosperous!]
[What does this story tell us?]
[To get rich, build roads first?]
[You damn genius! But I agree!]
[I'm more curious about Pluto now!]
[Then can we confirm that the ancient weapon Pluto is in Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi's hands?]
[Yes! It's just not built yet!]
[Wait! He robbed Wang Luffy's money before, wouldn't it be to build Pluto!]
[Damn!! You said that and it all matches up! It really is like this!]
Almost everyone is staring at the blueprint in front of them!
That is Pluto, which is said to be able to destroy a country!
The Dali Temple seems to no longer trouble Zhuge Tang!
After all, such achievements cannot be denied even by the most demanding politicians!!
The Dali Temple has no movement!
Nanyang City is also full of vitality in Zhuge Tang's hands!
Everyone also sees the importance of industry!
The industry of Nanyang City was very developed before!
But unfortunately, the mountain roads are rugged.
But the appearance of Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse solved this problem!
Completely let Nanyang City rise!
Unknowingly, four years have passed!
Everyone thinks this chapter is over!
But suddenly news comes!
The Dali Temple motorcade is here!
To re-examine Zhuge Tang!
The people of Nanyang City who heard this news are immediately filled with righteous indignation!
Not to mention whether Zhuge Tang's original crimes were established!
Even now, Zhuge Tang is the bread and butter of all the people in Nanyang City!
Fortunately, the Dali Temple has already given news this time!
It's just going through the motions!
The achievements of this Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse are enough to make Zhuge Tang innocent!
Everyone is relieved, but the audience always feels a bit uneasy!
Sure enough, an uninvited guest comes to Nanyang City this day!
"My Lord~ be careful!"
"Hmm~"
A man who looks noble gets off the thunderbolt cart!
Even though he has seen it many times!
He is still shocked by the mechanical ox and horse that can act on its own!
This is simply not something humans can do!
And the identity of this man is not simple!
He is the Minister of Works of the imperial court, Pan Da.
And he has another identity! That is a Mohist disciple!
As a Mohist, being suppressed in industry naturally makes him very unhappy!
Of course, he didn't come to find fault purely this time!
The group walks on the streets of Nanyang City!
Minister of Works Pan Da is very unhappy!
These people keep talking about Zhuge Tang, without mentioning the imperial court at all!
The audience is speechless!
The imperial court didn't care when they were poor! Now that they are rich, they start to claim credit!
Pan Da's goal is very clear!
He is not here to teach any imperial court orders!
He is here for another matter today!
Finds Zhuge Tang's residence with purpose!
Pan Da shows absolute condescension!
But Zhuge Tang doesn't bow down because of the other party's status as Minister of Works!
Pan Da can even see a trace of disdain in the other party's eyes!
It's not disdain for his official position! It's disdain for a craftsman, a Mohist disciple!
"Is it Mr. Zhuge!"
"This official knows the great achievements you have made!"
"But don't be arrogant!"
"This is what you should do as a citizen of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty!"
Pan Da's tone makes the two young and vigorous disciples very unhappy!
Zhuge Tang quickly pulls them out, so they don't act impulsively!
"My Lord is right!"
"I am just an ordinary craftsman!"
"Naturally, I keep the support of the imperial court in mind!"
Although he says so, Zhuge Tang's tone makes Pan Da very unhappy!
"Hmph!"
"Good to know!"
"This official won't beat around the bush today!"
"Mr. Zhuge, some things should not be in your hands!"
"Have you not heard that an innocent man is guilty of harboring a treasure?"
Zhuge Tang narrows his eyes, probably knowing the other party's thoughts!
"Old man doesn't know what the Lord is talking about!"
"Hmph!"
Pan Da snorts disdainfully!
"Stop pretending!"
"Others don't know!"
"This official knows!"
Pan Da's eyes become sharp!
"Mr. Zhuge! The manufacturing method of this Pluto is in your ancestral Zhuge Divine Mechanism, right!"
Zhuge Tang remains calm upon hearing this! Continues:
"My Lord is joking!"
"My Zhuge family only has some things that benefit the people!"
"How could such a weapon of mass destruction be recorded!"
Seeing Zhuge Tang keep making excuses!
Pan Da finally got angry!
"Old thing! You know clearly enough whether you have it or not!"
"Do you think this Nanyang City is yours now?"
"Do you think you can hide whatever your disciples have created?"
"Benefiting the people? Do you believe that even if you invented the wooden ox and flowing horse,"
"I could still make you rot in prison!"
"You should know that Wang Luoje's recent movements have been getting bigger and bigger!"
"The gold content of you as an accomplice is also getting higher and higher!"
Zhuge Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he knew what the other party was talking about!
The audience also guessed roughly what it was!
Believing that Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi had created quite a few terrifying things over the years!
"No!"
It was clear that Zhuge Tang was too lazy to hide it anymore!
Just two cold, icy words!
Pan Da was suddenly furious!
He was the Minister of Works for the imperial court and a core disciple of the Mohist school! When had he ever suffered such indignity?
But looking at the stubborn old man in front of him, he really couldn't do anything to him!
Even the Grand Master of the Mohist school highly praised this method of the wooden ox and flowing horse at this moment!
It could be said that no one could touch Zhuge Tang right now except for the imperial court!
"Hmph!"
Pan Da left in anger!
He had thought that he could easily solve it with his status!
But he never expected that this old man would refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
"My lord! Should I find someone to..."
The subordinate gave a very thoughtful suggestion, but was slapped the next moment!
"Are you brainless!"
"Who in the world dares to touch Zhuge Tang now?"
"Except for the imperial court! Who dares to touch..."
Pan Da said angrily, then suddenly stopped!
His eyes rolled! That's right! Except for the imperial court! Who else could touch him?
Which meant the imperial court could touch him!
[I have a premonition! This brat is definitely up to no good!]
[Could he be slandering him to the Emperor?]
[It shouldn't work! Such top-tier national talent isn't easily discarded!]
[Sure enough, having strength is great! Everyone has to be wary!]
[In modern times, this is no less than inventing a perpetual motion machine!]
[A bit off, but it's about the same!]
Zhuge Tang stared at the other's back, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart!
That night, he called over his little disciple!
And talked to him a lot.
"Master, what exactly are you trying to say!"
Didn't Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi understand this weird old man?
He knew he must have something to entrust to him!
But at this moment, Zhuge Tang was silent!
He really wanted to discipline this disciple not to be too flashy.
But looking at him, he couldn't say it!
"Master! Do you know?"
"I have created..."
After drinking some wine, Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi gradually became excited!
He was enthusiastically telling Zhuge Tang something!
And Zhuge Tang was shocked upon hearing this!
"Are you serious?"
"You created the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?"
Zhuge Tang put down his wine cup!
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was a top-tier weapon of mass destruction even among the Martial Marquis's Divine Machinery!
He had tried it when he was young too!
But failed! Yet he never expected his own disciple to have made it!
"Master! What exactly do you want to tell me!"
Zhuge Zhuge Zhuge Lanqi was a bit impatient!
"Hehe~~ nothing!"
"Disciple~ no matter what happens!"
"You must persist in your dreams!"
All the screens felt a wave of sadness!
Perhaps Zhuge Tang already knew something!
The so-called Minister of Works never harassed Zhuge Tang again.
And the Grand Court of Revision's motorcade arrived as scheduled!
This was the first time the Grand Court of Revision had been welcomed along the way!
This was because everyone knew that this time the Grand Court of Revision was helping their beloved Mr. Zhuge clear his name!
Even the Chief Justice of the Grand Court of Revision had given specific instructions!
Not to neglect Mr. Zhuge at all! He must be treated with the etiquette of a distinguished guest!
Feeling the welcome along the way, the Grand Court of Revision's motorcade was truly flattered!
After working for so many years, when had they ever received such treatment?
Every time the common people saw them, they would avoid them!
However, just when everything was completely harmonious!
A sharp, piercing sound came through the air!
The next moment, people saw a huge crossbow bolt fly out!
Striking directly at the Grand Court of Revision's motorcade!
The power of this crossbow bolt was exceptionally fierce!
It pierced through the Grand Court of Revision's thunderbolt vehicle with a single shot!
Everyone had only seen crossbow bolts of this power on the Mohist school's giant siege crossbows!
However, what was different was...
This giant crossbow was actually firing in bursts!
Such a terrifying attack was truly jaw-dropping!
Never mind bows and arrows! Even the power of cannons couldn't be compared to it!
The Grand Court of Revision's motorcade was instantly overturned, with countless casualties!
People hurriedly looked in the direction of the attack!
What they saw were rows of hideous war chariots!
